Chapter 177: You’re courting death!

Above Lu Yu and the others, the sound of iron chains clanging echoed incessantly.

It was as if a ferocious beast, locked away for countless years, was about to break free, struggling incessantly.

The struggling grew stronger and stronger—

Clang—

The sound of the iron chain breaking echoed out.

Immediately after, the sound of more iron chains snapping could be heard from above the crowd.

From the moment the iron chain began to rattle until it snapped, it was merely the span of a single breath!

Before everyone could react, they felt the palace suddenly tremble violently.

Above the palace, cracks began to spread downward from the dome!

These cracks spread very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the dome had spread across the four walls of the palace!

Boom!

The dome shattered, and a stone coffin, several zhang long and more than one zhang wide, broke through the dome and fell onto the ground of the second palace.

Heavy breathing came from within the golden armor, a sound of furious panting.

Immediately afterward, an angry and不甘 roar emerged from the golden armor. As he swung his star-forged weapon toward the stone coffin, he fiercely shouted, “It took me a hundred years to seal the half-human, half-demon Luo Mo right here. Even Zhan Mo and Yuan Hao dared not break this seal, yet you insignificant insects at mere fifth and sixth levels have released Luo Mo! Dammit, nowadays juniors actually dare to do something like this—you really don’t want to live anymore!”

The star soldier in Golden Armor’s hand no longer slashes with sword light, but instead cuts forth an entire galaxy with a single strike!

A gently flowing river of stars, with millions of celestial bodies shimmering within it.

This sword strike seemed to gather the power of thousands of stars. Even the faintest bit of its force passing over Lu Yu and the others was enough to unleash a devastating, withering power.

Lu Yu took a step forward, blocking the way for Lou Xiaoyu. As long as the Silver Dragon’s possession hadn’t faded, he remained in an invincible state!

Zhang Qing’s nearly unfocused eyes saw the stone coffin cracking open within the Milky Way.

Among them, a shadow split evenly into red and black like a bolt of lightning shot out from the stone coffin and in a single step arrived in front of Zhang Qing.

This was a young man with long black hair hanging loosely, looking no more than twenty years old.

However, the young man’s eyes were split—one half red, and the other half a normal black pupil.

Half of the young man’s body was covered with spiral blood markings like those of the Demon Lord, while the other half was pale as paper, resembling human skin!

This made the young man seem very strange.

“Thank you. To show my gratitude, your life will be the first gift for my resurrection!” The young man walked up to Zhang Qing, stretched out his hand, and ripped out Zhang Qing’s heart. As he bit into it hungrily, he laughed maniacally, “Lord of the Underworld, you still couldn’t trap me, hahaha!”

Zhang Qing said不甘心地: “How could it be like this!”

Zhang Qing, having lost his arm and facing the relentless pursuit of the Golden Armor, was not ready to give up.

He really didn’t want to return empty-handed!

Zhang Qing drew a transmission array leading to the third-level tomb chamber based on the guidance from his memory.

That transmission array can only transport one person, and according to the instructions, only the person who personally killed the twin star souls can be transported.

In the third-level tomb chamber, there was a teleportation array that could instantly transport him thousands of miles away in the real world.

Originally, Zhang Qing planned to use Lu Yu and others to distract Golden Armor for some time, then kill Old Five and enter the third-level tomb chamber.

He believed that there must be a large number of burial objects there. With just one of them, he could rise to become the ruler of Nanjing City!

What Zhang Qing could never have imagined was that everything he had done was merely what that strange young man had made him do.

Zhang Qing’s eyes would never close again; it was truly a case of dying with grievances unresolved!

At this moment —

Golden armor moved again, and the star soldier in his hand suddenly exploded!

Thousands of stars revolve around this palace, each emitting terrifying ripples of power!

These stars remain motionless, as if on the verge of falling and perishing at any moment, exuding an aura of death.

“Lu Mo!” Jin Jia tightened his grip on the heart in his hand, crushing it into pieces!

The young man, Luo Mo, pointed at his chest and said, “Tsk tsk, what a pity. I’ve got a heart now, hahaha!”

As he spoke, his gaze swept toward Lu Yu and the others in the arena.

“Woman!”

Lu Mo’s eyes suddenly blazed with a beast-like hungry light, transforming into a bolt of lightning that surged toward Lou Xiaoyu.

“Behead!”

Without hesitation, Lu Yu waved his hand, and two million Demon-Slaying Swords transformed into a colossal blade and slashed forth.

“Too weak, too weak!”

Luo Mo waved his hand, and red and black lights between his five fingers transformed into five beams of light that swept across the Demon-Slaying Sword, shattering every Demon-Slaying Sword that had been swung toward him!

Luo Mo had not yet made a move. After the Demon-Slaying Sword, Lu Yu had already taken action.

He sensed the aura of the Demon King from Luo Mo, and at the same time, he also detected an aura resembling that of the Golden Armor!

Half-human, half-demon—

Could it be that the Golden Armor was referring to the fact that Luo Mo is in a half-human, half-demon state?

Lu Yu’s attack was merciless!

With every raise of his hand, each punch unleashes full-force power.

“Get out!” Luo Mo raised his hand and placed his palm on Lu Yu’s chest.

The silver dragon, possessing Lu Yu’s body, emitted blinding flashes of light, neutralizing the demon king’s attack.

But just at that moment, Lu Yu suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A drop of blood splattered onto Luo Mo’s body.

Stop—

Fresh blood turned into a deadly poison, instantly corroding a large chunk of flesh on Luo Mo’s arm into a black hole.

“Silver Dragon Armor, Myriad Poisons!” Luo Mo’s arrogant face showed not only no fear but also some excitement as he said, “I never expected such a grand gift right from the start. Haha!”

Luo Mo pressed his fingers together like a blade and cut away large chunks of the surrounding flesh that had been corroded.

The granulation tissue on his arm grew rapidly, regenerating the excised flesh in an instant.

But just then, Lu Yu’s punch arrived.

Boom, boom, boom…

In an instant, Luo Mo and Lu Yu exchanged dozens of blows.

Lu Yu, relying on the Silver Dragon’s possession, was evenly matched against Luo Mo without showing any disadvantage.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Luo Mo’s eyes.

This person is too weak.

If this person were at the same level as him, he would indeed be a formidable rival!

At this moment, even the golden-armored figure in the distance was slightly taken aback.

This young man is no ordinary one; he actually dared to strike against Luo Mo.

Someone else might have collapsed long ago, even if a seventh- or eighth-level Star Soul stood here!

“But you’re still too weak!” Luo Mo suddenly flashed a smile, his fingers twitching as a cold gleam flickered between them.

A cold light struck Lu Yu’s chest, sending him flying backward.

Luo Mo also suddenly turned around and appeared beside Wang Jilong. Looking at the blood-eyed giant, he sneered, “So it’s actually Blood Eye! Heh heh, considering that you’re partly a demon yourself, I’ll make your death a swift one!”

As he spoke, the demon Luo thrust his finger into Wang Jilong’s forehead.

Wang Jilong couldn’t even muster the will to resist; in the span of a single finger movement, his flesh and blood dissolved into white vapor, which the demon beast Luo absorbed into its mouth.

At the spot where Wang Jilong had originally stood, only his clothes and shoes were falling toward the ground.

Lu Mo greedily licked his lips and fixed his gaze back on Lou Xiaoyu!

Boom!

At this moment, the stars that had been motionless in the void began to move.

Each star seemed like a blow from golden armor.

In an instant, millions of strikes shot toward Luo Mo like a storm.

“Let’s fight again, High Lord of the Netherworld!” Luo Mo laughed maniacally as he reached into the void and pulled out a black cloak, which he then draped over his body.

Those thousands of stars struck the black robe and were immediately reflected back.

“Void Severance Blade!” Golden Armor reached into the air, grasping the void, which solidified in his hand into a淡 blue-colored star-forged weapon!

Boom!

The star soldier’s blade flashed, and millions of stars shimmered with light, as if bestowing their power—each time the Void Reaper’s blade split open a fraction, its strength redoubled.

Buzz!

The demon’s arms gleamed with a metallic luster as he struck back at the Void Scythe with nothing but his bare fists.

Lu Yu protected Lou Xiaoyu. Even before the Void Blade’s attack reached them, the shockwave alone caused the silver light around his body to flicker.

When he embraced Lou Xiaoyu, the silver dragon’s light surged dramatically, already enveloping both of them.

At this moment, the powerful gust of wind and force sweeping over the two sent them flying.

The two crashed into the silver walls of the palace, and the cracked silver wall could not withstand such an impact and shattered.

The two plummeted out of the palace!

Lu Yu hugged Lou Xiaoyu and ran towards the farthest corner of the stone chamber.

There’s no way out here!

Boom!

The palace at the center of this vast stone chamber had collapsed.

Two figures clashed midair, each strike unleashing terrifying force that rippled through the air like shockwaves from a missile impact.

The stone walls around the chamber were swept by ripples, and the figures carved into the stone began to glow in their eyes; each slender groove shimmered with flowing light.

The sun, moon, and stars above the dome also seemed to have come to life; they no longer revolved around the dome, but instead each had its own trajectory!

The Supreme Ruler of Darkness let out a long roar. With the Void Blade in hand, he channeled thousands of tiny stars toward Luo Mo, unleashing a single slash.

Luo Mo had no way to retreat from this slash. He clapped his hands together; half of his body was covered in blood markings that spread across his skin like intricate patterns.

The Dark Blade and stars fell down.

The demon Luo’s double-handed strike also smashed downward.

A collision like falling stars, a shockwave of destruction that seemed to obliterate everything!

The Dark Blade and Star Slash struck the sky’s crown of the demon Luo.

Luo Mo’s fist smashed into the golden armor of the Dark King. The golden helm cracked, then shattered, revealing a pale, weary face beneath!

This face exudes an imposing presence even without anger, with long silver-white hair that stirs as if alive without wind. Its eyes blaze with fury capable of igniting entire galaxies, and the starlight within its pupils runs deeper than a black hole!

Luo Mo wiped a streak of blood from his forehead and sneered, “Old man, it seems you’ve really grown old. Back then, a strike like that couldn’t even crack your golden armor!”

“Even in death, I will seal you away once more!”

The Supreme Ruler of the Underworld roared in rage, yet spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Haha, you’re finished,” Luo Mo said, seeing how the Dark King was faring, and became even more smug.

Move again, and there were only two lightning-like shadows in the sky, nothing else!

Boom!

The Supreme Spirit suddenly flew backward, crashed into the stone wall, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Luo Mo laughed loudly and said, “Become a demon. By becoming a demon, you won’t die, and you can even regain your youth.”

Mingzun stood up, gripping his star weapon tightly while staring directly at Luomo.

At this moment, Lu Yu also stood up.

The silver dragon’s possession of his body had ended, but his fighting spirit showed no sign of diminishing!

“You’re asking for death!” Luo Mo said contemptuously, tilting his head to look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu said coldly, “If you have the ability to kill me, then you can say those three words again!”

Lu Yu doesn’t care about right or wrong.

But he knew clearly that if Luo Mo were alive, Ming Zun would have to die!

If Ming Zun dies—he and Lou Xiaoyu won’t survive either.

He still had important things left to accomplish! Therefore, he didn’t want to die here, absolutely would not die here!
