It seemed as if a mighty dragon had awakened within Lu Yu, its roar shaking the heavens.
The emotionless voice in Lu Yu’s mind shook him deeply!
“Congratulations, the Silver Dragon Armor has been upgraded to level seven! At level seven, the physical defense of the Silver Dragon Armor reaches the strength of a Demon Lord!”
Lu Yu took a deep breath and exclaimed in astonishment, “A Demon Lord-level expert!”
Lu Yu looked at his hands in disbelief, then gripped them tightly, feeling the changes within his body.
Although my cultivation power has not yet reached the level to rival the Demon Lord, my physical body has somehow achieved it first!
His arms moved gently, and he felt no change in his body.
However, he could feel his body undergoing changes.
At the same time, his vision began to flicker!
“Congratulations! Your Kill Star Soul has been upgraded to level eight, with 76% of the progress remaining. Your maximum basic health is now 6.2 billion, basic attack power is 870 million, and basic physique has reached 999 million! In fact, your physique has already hit its limit and can no longer be enhanced!”
Over the past year, he has been honing himself, and this is the result of his efforts throughout the year!
The attributes of the seventh level peak are one billion! However, Lu Yu’s maximum life has been unlocked, allowing his health to stack infinitely, already surpassing the seventh level peak by six times. His attack power is also nearing its upper limit, and his tendons and bones have already reached their maximum as well.
With an attack power of 800 million, this is equivalent to a strength of 800 million. What does that mean?
In other words, as long as Lu Yu possesses a weapon powerful enough, a single strike could destroy a mountain thousands of meters high!
But this is only destruction.
But lifting a mountain is simply impossible! Even a common mountain that’s just a hundred meters high weighs more than ten million tons. It would require two hundred billion jin of force, which means an attack power of two hundred billion!
For humans, a power level of merely a hundred billion at the eighth stage is not even enough to move a mountain that’s a hundred meters high.
A ninth-level Star Soul can barely lift a mountain a hundred meters high.
But this is barely enough!
Only a Level 9 Demon Lord truly possesses the power to move mountains, for a Demon Lord is an existence that transcends even a Level 9 Star Soul!
Lu Yu, who could be called the Lord of Demons, naturally possessed absolute and extraordinary prowess!
“Roar!”
At this moment, the mountains and wilderness trembled as a peak seventh-level beast charged out from the forest.
This is a fanged beast standing nearly three meters tall, with a body shape similar to that of a tiger. However, its claws and teeth are longer and sharper than a tiger’s, capable of even injuring an eighth-level monster.
When Lu Yu encountered the first sharp-toothed beast, he carelessly left himself open, and the monster raked its claws across his chest, tearing it open.
If it weren’t for the King’s Bone that helped him block the beast’s claws, that single swipe might have crushed his heart!
The body of the False Demon King was completely useless on this sharp-toothed beast.
At this moment, as the fanged beast lunged forward, Lu Yu abandoned the attack and stood still, waiting for the beast’s strike.
Lu Yu wants to test just how strong this Demon Lord-level body truly is!
The saber-toothed beast’s intelligence was not inferior to that of humans. When it pounced, it noticed Lu Yu standing still, squinted its eyes for a moment, sniffed the air with its tiger-like nose, and acutely sensed the danger!
Lu Yu couldn’t feel any changes in his body. However, the beasts, driven by instinct, sensed that this human’s physique had indeed transformed. A terrifying power lay hidden within his unimposing frame—one that made them feel fear.
Then, the fanged beast actually began to retreat slowly, and then disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Meanwhile, deep within the mountains and forests, pairs of dark eyes were gleaming with light.
However, at this moment, they were both slowly retreating backward and then disappeared together.
This was the first time Lu Yu had encountered such a situation.
He immediately thought to himself, “Does this mean that the level seven and eight monsters have sensed the changes in my body? If I’ve reached this level at seven, what will happen when I reach eight or nine?”
For the sake of this Silver Dragon Armor, he had endured countless injuries and attacks, so many that he himself could no longer count.
Enhancing the Silver Dragon Armor was entirely accumulated through repeated injuries and bloodshed.
That kind of pain and torment is something no one can understand.
In just two months, such an improvement is truly remarkable!
Lu Yu thought for a moment and decided against the idea of going deeper.
There was still one month left, he needed to go back and make some preparations.
He withdrew from these mountains, which should not have been here, and returned to Nanjing City.
Along the way, all the monsters he encountered began to avoid him.
A body of the Demon Lord’s caliber—this was an insurmountable chasm for ordinary monsters, far too towering and magnificent!
Originally, as long as Lu Yu remained within the magical city of Huangying, he would have an endless supply of life force to fuel his battles.
However, doing so might risk exposing the King’s Bone or even more secrets.
He certainly didn’t want to raise Huang Ying’s suspicions toward himself so soon!
The sale of Star Spirit Stones in Nanjing was proceeding normally, and Lu Yu once again accumulated a large quantity of them.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and threw all the star-spirit stones from the two cities into it.
He didn’t even keep back Grade Six spirit stones; everything was solely for exchanging into low-grade spirit pearls used to create the silver armor.
In the final month, Lu Yu hardly left the mine.
The 360th Day—
Star Soul Armor completed!
Lu Yu didn’t have a penny left, a genuine penniless man.
Owning two mines, yet not having a single penny!
…
Xingyue Armor:
Level: Seven
Defense Power: Sixty Billion!
Ability: When the defense value of the Star Peak Armor drops to zero, it can be restored to its maximum defense value by using ten grade-seven star spirit stones. The Xuan Guang Mountain Armor can be repaired a total of twenty times. Before the Star Peak Armor’s defense disappears, its owner is completely immune to any damage!
Special Effect – Only by dripping the blood of life can it be unlocked!
Description: Ninety-eight sets of the Xingyue Armor can evolve it into the Xinghun Battle Armor!
…
Six hundred billion defense points, this number is overwhelmingly huge.
If we go by Lu Yu’s own data, the peak of level seven is only one billion. The top tier of level eight is already one hundred billion!
Defense value is equivalent to an extension of health points.
Moreover, a defense value of six hundred billion would be two-thirds of the peak defense value of a ninth-grade star soul, which reaches one trillion.
However, a ninth-level star soul is only equivalent to the level of an eighth-level monster.
If calculated by this logic, wouldn’t the Dark Lord’s health points exceed trillions?!
The power of a trillion forces in one strike—it was still something he couldn’t withstand!
Lu Yu inhaled sharply, experiencing for the first time the sheer terror of the Demon Lord!
The level seven life regeneration speed is already one million points per second, but compared to several billion life points, the damage is too weak!
Lu Yu thought of the venom of the Poisonous Dragon!
Now, a damage rate of millions of hit points per second is completely ineffective against the Demon Lord.
The only effect is that damage caused by the Dragon’s Poison cannot be healed when the poison takes effect!
However, the poison of the eighth-level Toxic Dragon was still far inferior to that of a ninth-level Demon Lord.
Lu Yu murmured to himself, beginning to calm his mind, and said, “Could it be that only the ninth-level Toxic Dragon’s venom can rival the Demon Lord? Or perhaps, between the eighth and ninth levels, there’s a qualitative transformation?”
Lu Yu stayed in the mine for the next few days.
The Star Soul Armor has been upgraded to level seven, but since there is no level-seven Star Spirit Stone available, the armor can only be used once for now!
As for whose blood will be used, that depends entirely on one’s own luck.
It’s absolutely impossible to voluntarily make these Demon Lords spill their blood!
Half a month has already passed!
By the time the one-year period mentioned by Huang Ying had long passed, Huang Ying finally appeared before Lu Yu.
A figure draped in a long, black robe appeared before Lu Yu. Her delicate and alluring face, set against the dark fabric, appeared even more regal, exuding a queenly pride.
Lu Yu stood up as he saw the shadow appear and said, “It’s time!”
The shadowy figure nodded slightly and said, “Soon. I’ll take you there now, so you can meet your opponent.”
Lu Yu frowned, his voice cold as he said, “You didn’t mention I had any competitors?”
“It’s not that easy to enter the Dragon’s Nest,” Huang Ying said with a soft laugh. “The Dragon’s Nest is set up to only allow dragons to enter! Moreover, the Dragon’s Nest is divided into several areas. The deeper you go, the more powerful the dragon corpses become. However—”
Huāgyǐng paused for a moment, blinked his eyes, and looked at Lùyǔ, saying, “The further one advances, the fewer people there are who can pass through. Therefore, your task is to defeat the other competitors and bring back the dragon corpse I desire!”
Lu Yu understood part of it and asked seriously, “In other words, those competing with me are all people who possess the aura of the dragon race?”
Huāgyǐng nodded and said, “That’s right!”
Lu Yu continued to ask, “What about you? Are you just waiting outside for the result?”
Huang Ying said, “We will follow you inside. However, we cannot intervene! Even as the Demon Lord, one must suppress his aura completely to avoid awakening the dragon corpse. Unless, of course, the Demon Lord is already willing to go to extremes, deliberately exposing his aura to awaken all the dragon corpses within the dragon’s nest.”
Lu Yu said, “I understand. My task is to help you obtain the dragon corpse you specified, right?”
The Shadow said, “You’re absolutely right. However, if you want to find that dragon corpse, you’ll have to go deep into the last two regions—it might be there. So, before that, you’d better not lose!”
As he spoke, Huang Ying raised his hand and lightly划ed through the empty space. A crack appeared in the void, and he said, “Let’s go! We’ll head to Chang County first; that’s where the dragon’s nest has been detected!”
“Chang County?”
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, “I’m in luck—I happen to be heading there too. I still owe someone a promise.”
“Isn’t that perfect! If you ever need someone killed, I can help you with that.”
The shadowy figure giggled playfully and stepped into the crack first, with Lu Yu closely following behind!
The two of them appeared one after the other on the streets of a city. The county town was severely damaged, with more than a third of the buildings on the street reduced to ruins.
Some blocks were completely flattened, leaving behind a desolate scene as if they had suffered a terrorist attack!
Moreover, as soon as Lu Yu entered the city, he felt at least two auras scanning over him—each no weaker than the Shadow of the Wasteland—before they quickly withdrew. Most importantly, he sensed unusual fluctuations at the city’s edge.
Just like the magical city of the Fire Dance, this city is surrounded by illusions, allowing entry but no exit!
The atmosphere of this city felt somewhat eerie. Although the streets were crowded with pedestrians, when these two individuals suddenly appeared, everyone became highly vigilant and began scrutinizing them carefully.
Especially when they saw the shadow of the wilderness, people immediately lowered their heads and hurried away.
