Tu Xue’s blood was draining away, streams of crimson light being drawn into Huo Wu’s body. These threads of bloodlight resembled ancient runes as they merged into the center of Huo Wu’s brow.
“Huowu, one day you will end up just like me. We are nothing more than nourishment in the eyes of a far more powerful Demon Lord!” Tu Xue sneered, watching his own flesh gradually wither away and get consumed by the green aura, his single eye becoming increasingly lifeless.
Lu Yu calculated the time, two minutes and ten seconds.
In less than three short minutes, he actually joined forces with Huo Wu to kill a Demon Lord!
Thinking about the Demon King’s immense power, possessing the strength to destroy heaven and earth, yet being constrained by him and Huo Wu, was almost unbelievable to him.
Lu Yu concealed the fluctuation of the Shaluxinghun’s power, released the transformed state of the venomous dragon, and watched as the blood light around Tu Xue gradually faded away. Finally, he let out a long sigh of relief, realizing that it was all over.
At this moment, on the distant desolate mountains, two figures appeared there simultaneously, as if drawn by the same unseen force.
The two figures saw the scene on the ground and both showed expressions of shock on their faces!
“Hu Xue is dead!” Huang Ying looked at Fan Tian in shock, who was listening to the news of Hu Xue’s death, utterly astonished.
Another Demon Lord was equally astonished and said, “The Tu Xue and Fan Tian clans have been locked in conflict for so many years, always evenly matched. The Zuan Jia and Huang Quan clans resembled a spear and shield of equal strength, neither able to overpower the other. I never expected that after a single slumber and awakening, everything would change completely.”
After the two great demon lords glanced over Huo Wu’s body, they knew that the massacre was over.
They arrived late.
They did not witness Lu Yu’s transformation, nor did they see Huo Wu’s battle armor; they merely thought it was a life-or-death battle between two demonic masters.
Even if Lu Yu were on the scene, they wouldn’t believe a human could make any difference!
As a result, Tu Xue was defeated!
At this moment, if they were to take action, the two of them couldn’t guarantee just how powerful Fan Tian had become, having already possessed both the strongest offensive and defensive capabilities.
Huowu also sensed the presence of Huangying and the Demon Lord, but remained calm, waiting until the last trace of bloody light was drained from Tublood’s body, leaving only a skeleton behind. Only then did she stand up, turn around, and speak in a hoarse and rough voice: “两位, would you care to come down and have a talk?”
“Hehe. You’re joking, Demon King Brahma. What’s there to talk about at a time like this?” Huang Ying said with a coquettish laugh. “Congratulations on obtaining the albinism!”
“The time for the end of the Unified Demon Hall should be drawing near as well. There’s no need for us to stay any longer,” another Demon Lord remarked with a smile. “That human by your side, isn’t it time for him to die? If you no longer desire the Touch of the Venomous Dragon, I’d be more than happy to purchase it from you at a high price.”
“Seeing Tu Xue’s death, don’t you understand yet?” Huo Wu coldly snorted, “If you all want it, feel free to come down and take it. As long as you have the skill!”
Huowu’s words first stunned the two great devil rulers, and then their faces turned slightly pale.
The power of the Poison Dragon’s Touch is merely a lure; to grow stronger in this newly awakened world is Brahma’s true objective.
In other words, whether it’s Tu Xue or anyone else, anyone who follows down here could end up dying.
Fan Tian now possesses two major abilities: Huangquan Tremor and Bleaching. If they join forces, victory would be possible, but it would only be a Pyrrhic one.
Now, that’s not a good deal!
“Heavenly Brahma, your schemes run so deep. This time, Tu Xue’s death was truly unjust!” Huang Ying chuckled, “If that’s really the case, then it seems there’s no chance left.”
“Since that’s the case, we have no choice but to let go!” Another Demon Lord also laughed.
“Lu Yu, our objective has been achieved. There’s no reason to stay here any longer!” Huo Wu said, turning around and looking at Lu Yu with a commanding tone.
“Good!”
Lu Yu walked up to the corpse of Tu Xue. Now, the body had been completely corroded by the Poison Phoenix Heart, leaving not a single drop remaining. All that was left was the Poison Phoenix Heart itself, still emitting a faint green mist.
When Lu Yu picked up the Poison Phoenix Heart, his fingers began to corrode again.
Huowu placed one hand on Lu Yu’s shoulder and tore through space with the other, carrying Lu Yu away as they vanished.
“Did you see that?” Huanying stared coldly at the spot where Huowu and Lu Yu had disappeared. “The item that human was carrying must be what they took from the Supreme Demon Hall this time.”
Another Demon Lord nodded and said seriously, “Even if a Demon Lord’s body has already had its abilities drained, it’s still not something that ordinary powers can destroy. Moreover, Tu Xue has already reached the peak of the ninth level. His body started to decay before his abilities disappeared completely; at the very least, it would require a ninth-level peak toxin!”
“I don’t recall the Brahma clan ever possessing such a powerful poison.”
“You mean to say that a human can enter the ninth-level stone gate?”
The conversation between the two powerful masters grew quieter, but their tones became increasingly intense.
The Stone Gate is divided into nine levels. To open the first nine gates, even the weakest human must be at the peak of the ninth level!
This is because humanity’s second-level peak is equivalent to the first level of the demonic race.
In this period when humanity had just begun to awaken their powers, reaching the peak of the ninth level was absolutely just a joke.
Therefore, expecting humans of this era to enter the ninth-level stone gate at this point in time is nothing short of an impossible dream.
Even in the past, not to mention now, this was equally a mere dream!
At the peak of the ninth level, humans of such strength are already capable of challenging even the Demon Lord.
Even though he has the strength to challenge the Demon Lord, controlling a human like him would still be a tricky task, even for the Demon Lord himself.
Who would dare to spend money cultivating such a person for a blood sacrifice?
Therefore, opening the ninth-level stone gate is purely a matter of luck for the Devil King. Sometimes, even powerful demon clans and ninth-level peak human cultivators were never solitary figures in the past—they were often elites from various major factions. Do you think people like them can be captured so easily?
Therefore, for them,魔主s, to open the ninth-order stone gate is considered quite fortunate if they can manage to do it once or twice in their entire lifetime.
Everything inside can be considered a treasure-level existence.
Lu Yu must have some secret, since he was able to enter the ninth-level stone gate with less than a fifth-grade star soul. This is exactly why Fan Tian was willing to abandon even the Poison Dragon’s Touch in order to win over a human.
“If we obtain this secret, couldn’t we, at this stage, use our strength to suppress and perform massive blood sacrifices to unlock the Demon King’s authority?”
“However, Brahma will surely protect this person carefully. We still need to be cautious!” Huang Ying replied seriously.
“That’s right, let’s go back and plan carefully! The information I have in hand also needs some time to process, so I won’t be able to pay attention to this person in the short term.”
The two great demon lords also departed.
…
Nanning!
When Lu Yu and Fan Tian walked out of the Demon Lord’s domain, the blood-red sky over the city had long dissipated, and the flesh and blood on the ground had already become food for lower-level demon lords. The city had become a ghost town.
Lu Yu seemed to hear the anguished cries of souls in the sky, involuntarily furrowing his brows.
Huowu said, “Do you know? Actually, humans also use captured demons for blood sacrifices. One by one, demon cities were destroyed, millions, even tens of millions of demons were sacrificed, all just to open the Grand Demon Hall. Humans want to wipe out our race. We just want to survive; we don’t want to be killed by humans!”
“It doesn’t matter to me whether he’s a man or a demon; I only see right and wrong,” Lu Yu said, looking at Huo Wu with a smile.
The flames danced, and Huo Wu’s face slightly flushed beneath the black robe. After opening her small mouth several times, she finally whispered with some anxiety, “Will you… come back with me?”
As the Demon Lord, she possessed absolute dominance and strength!
But in front of Lu Yu, her heart had already been opened; she was just a girl who appeared strong on the outside!
Since her relationship with Lu Yu began, she had started to become dependent, like a woman who now feared being abandoned and ignored.
“I still have my own matters to attend to. I must go north,” Lu Yu said, his voice turning sinister as he glared in a certain direction. “Some grudges can never be forgotten. It’s time to settle the score!”
“Who do you want to kill?” Huo Wu could hear the anger and coldness in Lu Yu’s tone and immediately replied, “Right now, no one can stop us. Whoever it is, I can help you take them down!”
“Remember, this is my revenge. No one is allowed to interfere!” Lu Yu looked at Huo Wu seriously and said, “Unless I’m dead, no one can touch my enemy!”
Huowu stared at Lu Yu, seeing him so serious for the first time, and murmured, “If you die, I will avenge you!”
As Huo Wu spoke, she raised one hand and gently touched Lu Yu’s forehead. A drop of blood seeped from her fingernail into the center of Lu Yu’s brow.
“The blood curse won’t let others feel the connection between us. It will remain dormant. When you die, the one who kills you will be consumed by the blood curse. No matter how powerful a demon king might be, they won’t be able to erase the blood curse. If you die, I will sense it. Then, I will avenge you!”
Lu Yu reached out his hand, originally intending to pat Huowu’s head, but suddenly remembered that someone might be watching, so he withdrew his hand.
“Then I’ll be on my way. This journey of mine can be considered as a trial. You don’t need to see me off! I once told them that one day when I return, they will tremble at my feet. So until I go back, I will fight with the strongest posture. As for the Fire Dragon Armor, consider it a token of affection I’ve given you, hahaha!”
Lu Yu leaped away gracefully amidst laughter, leaving the scene in a flash. Immediately, a group of demons roared and rushed forward.
“Die! If anyone dares to lay a finger on him, I’ll tear them apart piece by piece!” With a fierce shout, Huo Wu unleashed a skyful of blades from the Yellow Spring, slicing through hundreds of demons at once.
All the demons in Nanning felt the intent to kill within that sharp, fierce shout. They trembled continuously, too afraid to make any further moves.
Lu Yu’s figure grew smaller and smaller, leaving a faint sense of sorrow in Huo Wu’s heart.
Thinking about everything that had happened in the cave, as well as Lu Yu’s parting words, Huo Wu’s face suddenly turned red.
At this moment, Huang Ying and another Demon Lord had already emerged as well.
On Huo Wu’s body, all the previous aura had vanished, leaving only coldness and solemn majesty.
Both Huang Ying and the other person felt a slight metallic scent in the air, sending waves of shock and trembling through their hearts.
Fang Tian actually cast a blood curse on Lu Yu. Was this really a warning to them that if they dared to take action, they would be hunted down and killed?
You should know that the blood curse is a protective spell that can only be used on someone extremely close to the caster. It signifies that the dark lord holds this person in high regard!
