The silver moon, like a disk, hangs high in the sky!
Outside the city of Nanjing—
More than ten kilometers away from the city’s most remote suburbs lies a plain.
Tens of thousands of monsters, their eyes glowing red, charged mindlessly toward a white glowing shield.
A white beam of light covered an area of hundreds of square meters. At the center of the light, a woman hovered one foot above the ground, her eyes closed, suspended in midair.
The woman’s expression was calm and serene. Her strands of white light connected to the white glowing halo around her, resembling a holy angel in prayer.
The monster crashed into the energy shield, causing continuous ripples of white light to spread across its surface.
Some monsters, despite colliding until their heads were bleeding, continued to attack the light shield uncontrollably.
Inside, there were two men in addition to the women.
The three people were Lu Yu, Chen Hui, and Lou Xiaoyu.
The farther away from the city, the less likely one is to be disturbed by others.
Therefore, after the three of them arrived at this place, Chen Hui finally activated his ability. Immediately, a two-meter-tall gray figure appeared, floating in the sky behind him.
At the moment the figure appeared, monsters on the surrounding plains let out furious roars.
Groups of monsters, as if provoked, lost their senses and rushed toward the three.
“Amazing!” Lu Yu couldn’t help but comment on this ability—it truly was unique in the way it attracted monsters.
From the first-level Demon Ape to the peak third-level Black Demon Wolves and Blood Demon Bears, there were even peak third-level Demon Soldiers among them.
“Roar!” A level-three peak魔兵 roared, its flesh seemingly ready to explode as blood spurted from gashes all over its body, and its aura became even stronger.
Due to the attraction of the ghost soul, the demon soldiers’ level increased, reaching the peak of the fourth level.
This demonic soldier, with each step it took upon the earth, could crush the ground beneath its feet into a spiderweb of cracks spanning dozens of meters.
The demon soldier’s fist slammed into the glowing shield, causing the radiant patterns on its surface to ripple like water. The impact shattered the soldier’s hand, with the sound of bones breaking and blood flowing, yet the shield remained intact.
“Mr. Lu, please feel free to strike without hesitation,” Chen Hui said proudly. “As long as no one touches Senior Apprentice Sister, breaking through this light barrier is something no one can achieve at the moment.”
Lu Yu looked at Lou Xiaoyu with no small amount of surprise. Although he had heard of the Yaoyue Star Soul before, he never expected its abilities to be so extraordinary.
The Level 4 demon soldiers attacked the light shield, smashing it so hard that their bones shattered, yet the shield remained intact.
Tens of thousands of monsters, each dealing an astonishing amount of damage in a single attack!
“Then, I’ll begin. Remember, after it’s over, don’t touch the green pearls—they’re highly toxic,” Lu Yu said. Suddenly, his aura surged, like a tranquil lake surface erupting into towering waves.
Chen Hui and Lou Xiaoyu couldn’t help but widen their eyes, and when they looked at Lu Yu’s back, they felt as if they were facing a giant beast.
Boom!
Lu Yu took one step forward, directly walking out of the light dome. The earth beneath his feet was darkening; the original plain had transformed into a land covered with black stones. Droplets of water rose from the cracks between the stones, instantly condensing into transparent spears.
“Mr. Lu, come in. You don’t need to worry about being attacked at all. Just focus on killing the monsters,” Chen Hui called from inside the light shield.
“Roar!”
Innumerable monsters, upon seeing Lu Yu and catching the scent of a human, turned their attention toward him and lunged forward together.
A dark, surging mass of beasts, like shattered mountains, swarmed forward as hordes of monsters leaped into the air, rushing toward Lu Yu.
Chen Hui felt like he could hardly catch his breath anymore. He had never dared to venture this far out of the city to attract these monsters.
However, he could tell that Lu Yu remained calm when facing these monsters. If it were him, he really wouldn’t have the courage to step forward.
“How can it be called a battle without facing the enemy!” Lu Yu shot back fiercely, his eyes blazing with sharp menace.
He stood among the strange crowd, raised his right hand, and suddenly pressed it down forcefully toward the earth.
In an instant, eight thousand long spears gathered like arrows released from a bow, surging into the sky. Then, like rain pouring down, the eight thousand spears fell toward the earth.
Boom, boom, boom…
Lu Yu has already reached the fourth level of Star Soul. Each of his long spears carries a full-power strike, delivering an attack power of hundreds of thousands!
It was like missiles landing one after another, exploding among the monster crowd!
Monsters of level one and two were instantly annihilated; within a moment, half of the ten-thousand-strong horde lay dead. Blood and bones dissolved into droplets between the black stones, vanishing without a trace.
“Good heavens! Is this even human?” Chen Hui was almost scared out of his wits.
Thousands of monsters died simultaneously, and a large number of glowing pearls fell to the ground as the creatures perished. The pearls, shimmering in various colors like starlight, covered the earth and appeared dazzling and tempting.
He had seen instant kills before. But to instantly eliminate thousands of monsters in the blink of an eye—such a mass attack skill was simply too terrifying.
“Roar!”
A level-three elite devil soldier rushed in front of Lu Yu, its pitch-black fists hammering down like massive iron mallets.
With a wave of his right hand, Lu Yu summoned a thousand emerald swords from the void before him, all of which shot forth and struck the third-level peak Evil Soldier.
Bang!
The long spears pierced through the chests of the demonic soldiers. With a simultaneous strike of a thousand swords, the flesh and blood of the demons, lacking any armor, could not withstand the assault.
Soul Devour – Activation.
Lu Yu’s aura surged abruptly, reaching the peak of a fourth-level Star Soul in an instant!
A thousand long swords pierced through the bodies of the demonic soldiers, falling into the nearby crowd of monsters like a cyan snake dancing through the air. Hundreds of monsters were twisted into ashes by the serpent’s coils.
“Die!”
Breaking through the peak of the third level, the demon soldier who had reached the fourth level spat out a single word and, with a single step, appeared before Lu Yu and threw a punch.
Suddenly, eight thousand blades from the underground surged forth once more, their lances raining down like arrows upon the demonic soldiers. Sparks of flame flickered, and the blazing souls erupted, ignoring armor and tearing through the demons’ bodies, leaving them battered and broken.
The demon soldiers’ high toughness caused the loss of hundreds of thousands of hit points in an instant, which was negligible compared to the over 9 million hit points of the level-four peak demon race!
After enduring thousands of attacks, the damage taken was merely a few hundred thousand hit points.
Boom!
The demon soldier’s fist struck Lu Yu’s body. With a force capable of shattering mountains, the punch sent shockwaves through the ground, causing the surface to ripple and crack.
Both Chen Hui and Lou Xiaoyu could feel the rushing wind on their faces even within the mask’s protection.
With immense power, they could crush many of them. A level-four star soul is ten times stronger than a level-four monster.
“This, this—” Chen Hui, thinking that Lu Yu was actually dead, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
Xiaoyu’s hand gently waved, sending a beam of white light from her palm to Chen Yu’s body, attempting to restore Lu Yu’s vitality.
At this moment—the Phantomsoul Bone activates, neutralizing the force of the demon soldier’s punch.
Lu Yu stood rooted to the spot, not moving an inch.
“Die!” Lu Yu hissed through his teeth, his palm pressing against the demon soldier’s chest.
A thousand Dragon Spine Needles pierced through the chest of the Grade-Four魔兵.
“Ahh!” The demon soldier let out a piercing scream as its body was instantly corroded away by the deadly poison.
Boom!
The blade of the Yellow Spring and the longsword struck out at the same time!
Half of the remaining powerful demon race was then swept away once more.
Chen Hui’s legs went weak; he had never seen someone so fierce before.
“What kind of ridiculous Sunset Alliance, and those so-called top ten experts? Compared to Lu Yu, aren’t they all just nonsense?”
A peak fourth-level demon soldier has millions of hit points, combined with millions in physical resilience. They’d have to chip away little by little, dealing ten points of damage at a time—how long would that take to finish a fight?
Lu Yu made his move and ended the battle in two moves!
“Senior sister, I… I found a monster!” Chen Hui didn’t know whether he was excited or scared. He stood there trembling slightly.
Tens of thousands of monsters, annihilated in three minutes!
The corrupted land vanished, leaving behind only the pearls between the grass and clusters of deep craters carved by the long spear and cyan sword. Not a single beast’s corpse remained.
“It’s… it’s over!” Chen Hui’s tongue felt stiff, almost unable to speak.
Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she witnessed the power of a group attack skill for the first time.
“Don’t touch the green beads. The rest are yours.” Ignoring the expressions on Lou Xiaoyu and Chen Hui’s faces, Lu Yu directly started picking up the beads.
These are all highly toxic. The evolution of myriad poisons depends on them.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the ghostly soul.
In the past, to find a monster worth ten thousand points, he had to run across areas spanning dozens of kilometers and carefully search for sleeping monsters.
Now, a single skill can draw all the attention.
The Ghost Soul, combined with a skill like Quaking Underworld, is practically made for leveling up.
Lu Yu picked up a green bead and crushed it directly.
“Congratulations on acquiring the venom of the abdominal snake, you have gained the ultimate poison!”
“Congratulations on obtaining the Poison of the Green Bee, and may all poisons bring you deadly power!”
…
Picking them up one by one would take far too much time.
Later, Lu Yu simply stopped bowing his head. Noticing a green bead nearby, he directly released his long sword to shatter the bead.
This speed is already quite fast.
However, his speed still couldn’t match the item-collecting speed of Lou Xiaoyu and Chen Hui.
Because there are a total of thirty thousand highly poisonous seeds, and not a single one can be missing.
It took Lu Yu three hours of meticulous searching to obtain all the poison.
“There are still eighteen thousand and six hundred left,” Lu Yu said, looking at the combined total of poisons and seeds, which amounted to exactly thirty thousand. Then he added, “Let’s go. Next destination.”
…
Chen Hui admitted that summoning the courage to invite Lu Yu was the best decision he had ever made.
Such a killing speed is faster than any modern weapon.
When the sky began to turn a pale whitish color, Chen Hui had already returned to the city ten times, collecting ten thousand star spirits’ pearls, and hundreds of mutated star spirits’ pearls. Among them, there were hundreds of level-three star spirits’ pearls and two level-four mutated star spirits’ pearls.
It’s easy to imagine how many level-three peak monsters Lu Yu has killed.
If Lu Yu were in Nanjing, the demons on the southern bank of the bridge would have been eradicated long ago.
Lou Xiaoyu — the pinnacle of the Fourth-Level Star Soul.
The death of thirty thousand monsters made him.
When Lu Yu smashed the last green bead, he muttered to himself, “Three ten thousand beads!”
“Now that I’ve gathered all thirty thousand deadly poisons, it’s time to start the fusion process.”
“Warning: once the fusion begins, you will be unable to move and must not be disturbed. Any interruption will result in a backlash of ten thousand poisons, transforming you into a mindless killing machine driven solely by poison.”
“The integration process will begin in sixty seconds!”
The thirty-thousandth deadly poison entered his body, and the poison immediately began to integrate, a process that could not be interrupted. This was something Lu Yu had not anticipated.
“Damn it, why now?” Lu Yu cursed under his breath, caught off guard by how quickly the integration had come.
“There’s a capability beginning to merge, and I cannot be disturbed!” Lu Yu looked at Lou Xiaoyu and said, “I can’t explain now. Help me expand the protective shield, and at least ensure the shield remains intact until I stand back up. Once the integration is complete, the reward will be set by you.”
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes to calm himself, and waited for the fusion of the myriad poisons to begin.
Lou Xiaoyu noticed that Lu Yu spoke so seriously, guessing it must be a very important ability.
“The integration process has begun, and it is expected to be completed within twenty-four hours!”
