The ultimate showdown between two formidable masters of dark cultivation!
It’s unknown how many tens of thousands of years have passed before it reappeared!
A violent force, fierce enough to shatter mountains and halt tsunamis, surged within the stone chamber!
This stone chamber absorbed the diffused energy. The sun, moon, stars, beast patterns, and human figures on the four walls seemed to come to life, wandering across the stone surfaces.
This is a breathtaking scene. Above, a grand battle rages—a war between humans and beasts. Dragons thrash wildly in the sky, while tigers strike and apes leap about on the ground!
Lu Yu blocked the exit with his body, shielding Xiao Yu behind him as he gritted his teeth and resisted the raging storm surging through the stone chamber!
He stared intently at the intense duel between the two powerful experts, feeling thrilled and excited!
Compared to the two of them, Xue Tu was clearly several levels below!
Lu Yu clenched his fists tightly and said in a trembling voice, “One day, I will definitely become a person this powerful!”
Xiaoyu clung tightly to Lu Yu’s arm with both hands, her head peeking out slightly from behind as she gazed at the sky, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
This kind of battle isn’t something you can see anytime!
Lou Xiaoyu is witnessing and experiencing it with her own eyes, opening a brand new door for her!
Every strike from Mingzun and Luomo could shake the heavens and split the earth, a collision of forces pushed to their absolute limits.
As the first sword mark appeared on Luo Mo’s body, more sword marks began to appear on him.
The demon Luo was slashed apart by the sword, his flesh and blood spilling, his tendons and bones breaking beneath the blade!
“Boom!”
When the sword of the Dark Sovereign slashed down upon Luo Mo’s head, Luo Mo split once again.
One of his split bodies was cleaved in two, while the other rushed toward the arched ceiling of the stone wall.
“Lord of the Underworld, remember, if I survive, I will return to challenge you again!”
Luo Mo’s body split once again; one of the forms shot straight toward the dome, its aura expanding limitlessly, continuously surging upward beyond even the Monarch of the Netherworld, and still climbing.
Luo Mo’s other body followed closely behind, but the aura emanating from it continuously weakened, dropping steadily from its original魔主-level intensity.
Level 8, Level 7, Level 6…
That powerful body crashed into the central star of the dome.
Boom!
This body exploded, its flesh and blood transforming into a crimson rain that pierced the star like a sharp sword.
A rift tore open in the star, and a black hole-like vortex, several meters in diameter, erupted from the fissure.
That weak body, merely at the sixth level, rushed into the vortex.
As the demon Luo vanished into the vortex, he let out an intensely resentful cry: “Lord of the Netherworld, wait for me! One day, I will rise again upon this land, drench it in blood, and challenge you once more!”
Mingzun did not pursue further but stopped instead.
He gazed at the whirlpool and sincerely remarked, “No wonder you’re my enemy; I let my guard down for a moment, and you managed to escape. You actually saw through the key to this seal—impressive!”
In fact, while fighting, Luo Mo had been continuously diverting part of his attention to observing this stone wall.
Even though he had gained the upper hand, he remained cautious.
If the Lord of the Underworld becomes a demon, then Luo Mo will not gain any advantage and will have very little chance of victory.
Therefore, Luo Mo would rather self-destruct his cultivation realm to escape first, then look for an opportunity!
The Luo Demon, now reduced to only six levels, won’t be able to cause any significant trouble in the near future.
The Supreme Being turned his head and cast his gaze toward Lu Yu and Lao Xiaoyu.
A shiver ran down Lu Yu’s spine, and his hair stood on end as his lips twitched slightly.
Although the Lord of the Netherworld had just expressed the hope that he would continue to grow, he remained deeply skeptical of this person.
Seeing Lu Yu’s caution, the Dark Sovereign did not become angry but instead smiled and said, “There’s no need to be afraid! I no longer have any intention to kill you; you may rest assured!”
The demonic transformation of the Supreme Spirit King began to fade, and he resumed his elderly form. Looking at Lu Yu with admiration, he said, “For the sake of the Luo Demon, I had no choice but to become a demon. However, I have always remained human at heart.”
During the battle, the Dark Sovereign had been closely watching Lu Yu. Not killing him earlier did not mean he wouldn’t observe this young man.
If the legacy of slaughter falls into the hands of someone like Luo Mo, a single person could destroy half the cities and nations.
In the history of the slaughters, there was once an eighth-level slaughter inheritor who suddenly turned into a demon.
Even though he was still very weak, he destroyed nearly ten large cities each with a population of over a million, and even seriously injured a Devil Monarch.
Lu Yu was obviously more terrifying than that person. If he were to grow to level eight, even ten cities would not be able to withstand him!
By then, it might be extremely difficult for him to kill Lu Yu himself, or he might even have to face another Luo Demon!
However, based on the observations made just now.
Lu Yu protected Lou Xiaoyu fiercely. No matter how powerful the gusts of wind were, he would step forward to shield her, even going so far as to desperately block attacks from Luo Mo.
Based on this alone, Lord of the Underworld believes that Lu Yu is not a truly wicked person and decides to continue observing him!
“Sit down, there’s something I’d like to ask you.”
The Supreme Ruler raised his hand, and the stone blocks from the ground rose up, transforming into three stone chairs.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded toward Lou Xiaoyu.
With the power of the King of the Underworld, it wouldn’t be necessary to go to such lengths to kill them.
After the three of them sat down on the stone chairs, Mingzun said, “You’re dressed very strangely. Could you tell me what exactly has changed outside? Also, about half a year ago, I felt my inner power underwent a transformation—it seemed to be called something like ‘datafication.’ What exactly does that mean?”
Lu Yu roughly explained the current world to Mingzun.
The Supreme Being of Darkness looked at the two of them, frowning. “Has the darkness truly passed?” he asked.
He was astonished by the changes in the world. Yet, he was even more shocked by the darkness.
“What exactly is darkness?” Lu Yu had heard and seen writings related to darkness more than once, and it seemed even the Sovereign of the Underworld feared this darkness.
“I haven’t seen it either. When I sealed away the demon Luo, the Dark Era was still nearly a hundred thousand years away. I never expected that this sealing would last for more than a hundred thousand years!” sighed the Dark Lord. “No one truly understands the darkness. Legends say that the Dark Era was a time when ten thousand stars shone together!”
Mingzun learned more about the information of this era. Although he was not particularly interested in technology, he still found it incredibly fascinating.
Lu Yu also asked the Lord of the Netherworld many questions about ancient times and gained access to numerous secrets he had never known before, even acquiring some knowledge from that very era!
Lou Xiaoyu was also hearing about that era for the first time. She listened attentively with her little mouth slightly open, never even thinking to ask questions!
Finally, the Sovereign of the Netherworld stood up and said, “This Star Burial Ground has already been abandoned. I will go out to pursue and kill the Demon of the Netherworld. Once you pass through that black vortex, this place will be completely sealed off, becoming a true land of death.”
“Senior.” Lu Yu stood up and bowed deeply. “I would like to ask you about some matters regarding becoming a demon!”
The Supreme Spirit’s expression was cold and stern as he declared with authority, “You wish to become a demon!”
The Supreme Being’s aged eyes exuded a chilling, murderous intent, as if to say that if Lu Yu’s answer proved unsatisfactory, he would strike without hesitation!
Lu Yu, unafraid of the Dark Lord’s gaze, said solemnly, “That’s right, I will become a demon!”
“Reasons!” the voice of Mingzun became even colder!
“Because I want to become stronger!” Lu Yu stared at the Dark Sovereign and declared, “After fighting Luo Mo, I realized how far behind I truly am. There’s something I must do, and I cannot die! Therefore, I must grow stronger! Whether it means becoming a demon or remaining human, as long as I can grow stronger and survive!”
The Supreme Being hesitated. If Lu Yu’s answer was anything other than a desire for greater power, he would have attacked without hesitation.
Lu Yu happened to tell the truth without withholding anything.
Such honesty left even the Lord of the Underworld unable to discern Lu Yu’s true intentions.
The Supreme Dark One pondered for a moment and said, “My method evolved from the twin star souls of Luo Mo! Cultivating both human form and demonic body within a single physical vessel! Such an extreme approach ultimately merged the two forces into one. However, seeing what happened with Luo Mo, I have never dared to take that final step of fusion!”
Here, Mingzun sighed, seemingly lacking the courage to proceed further.
“You already possess the power of slaughter. Never let slaughter become your path to becoming a demon, for that would make you a mad demon, just like Luo Mo is now,” the Dark Ruler said solemnly. “If one day I learn that you have indeed become a demon through slaughter, I will personally kill you and cast your slaughter into the cycle of reincarnation!”
“Please rest assured, Senior. I have my own principles, and I know what I should do!”
The Supreme Spirit taught Lu Yu and Lou Xiaoyu the method to become demons!
This explanation lasted for nearly half a month, during which Mingzun thoroughly explained some details.
Any mistake could potentially lead to a descent into madness.
Lu Yu said, “I once heard some rumors suggesting that demons were originally humans who transformed. May I ask, senior, what exactly is the story behind this?”
“That’s something ancient, and no one knows whether it’s true or false. However, there has always been such a legend: the Devil Ancestor was once human who transformed into a demon. Countless people in later generations have tried to replicate the Devil Ancestor’s path to becoming a demon, but none have succeeded. The key to this transformation remains unknown. Different demons, like Luo Mo and me, have our own unique paths to demonhood, yet no one knows which one is truly correct.”
“I understand now, thank you, Senior!”
Lu Yu thanked the Lord of the Netherworld once again. The more he talked with the Lord, the more blurred his understanding of that era became.
The Supreme Being led the two out of the Star Burial Grounds.
This is still the entrance to Nanjing City.
The three walked out of the building. As the Lord of the Netherworld gazed upon the towering skyscrapers and the humans on the ground, he couldn’t help but boast.
It had been so many years since he last interacted with humans that he almost forgot how the human race used to survive back then.
The Supreme Ruler of the Netherworld looked toward the southern bank of the Yangtze River and said, “There’s a very powerful demonic presence over there; there’s no need to get close unless necessary.” He paused, surprised, and added, “Interesting, they’ve actually detected me. I’ll conceal my aura now.”
Lu Yu’s heart tightened as he thought to himself, “I hope Huanying isn’t still waiting there for him!”
“My target is the demon Luo, you all take care of yourselves,” said the Dark Sovereign. With that, he stepped onto the street and vanished in the blink of an eye!
Lu Yu and Lou Xiaoyu exchanged glances, both exhaling a long, cold breath!
At this moment, both of them finally felt truly relieved.
However, when thinking about the dangers within the Star Burial Grounds, both of them couldn’t help but laugh.
Lou Xiaoyu looked at Lu Yu, slightly bowed her head, and said, “Thank you!”
“Don’t thank me; I’ve done what I was supposed to do.”
“Where are you going next?” Lou Xiaoyu looked at Lu Yu, her hands clenched tightly into fists behind her back, eagerly awaiting Lu Yu’s response.
Lu Yu smiled and said, “As long as the military doesn’t provoke me, I’ll be leaving this city in a few days. Good luck to you!”
“So it is!” Lou Xiaoyu lowered her head, her expression appearing somewhat desolate.
“Hope to see you again!” Lu Yu smiled and waved goodbye to Lou Xiaoyu.
“Goodbye!”
Lou Xiaoyu watched Lu Yu’s retreating figure, her smile carrying a hint of quiet sadness.
As Lu Yu’s figure disappeared at the end of the street, Lao Xiaoyu also turned around and left.
When no one remained in front of this building, from a corner of the collapsed basement ruins, a figure emerged from a pile of rubble and then walked casually into the crowd on the street, smirking coldly, “I never thought I’d actually have to walk this path again! Heir of carnage, Mingzun, just wait for me!”
