Liu Xiaotian, with the power of a third-level peak star soul, managed to open the fourth-level stone door.
Then, if he uses the Poison Dragon Illusion and reaches the peak of eighth level, how could he possibly fail to open the ninth-level stone door?
“Not a single second can be wasted in three minutes!”
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, staring at the eleventh nine-star stone gate, and made a final, resolute decision—he would gamble everything on this one chance!
He had tried opening quite a few stone doors. It was roughly possible to determine that the difference in strength among the first dozen or so doors was not significant, so he still had a chance to succeed.
If that doesn’t work, from this position, he can also reach the Eight-Star Stone Gate in the shortest possible time!
Nine cross-shaped stars gleamed in the firelight, their flickering glow seemingly drawing people’s attention.
Lu Yu stood in front of the stone door, took a deep breath, and slightly closed his eyes.
Three minutes. He must be fully prepared within that time.
Lu Yu calmed himself with effort, elevating his focus and attention to the utmost level. Suddenly, his eyes blazed with an icy, piercing coldness!
Boom!
Around Lu Yu, countless streams of pitch-black energy shot up into the sky like giant snakes emerging from his body. In an instant, the dark energy condensed, forming a shadowy dragon-like phantom over ten feet long, resembling a miniature version of a venomous dragon!
Endless black gas spread outward in all directions, and the Myriad Corrosion Land activated on its own!
“Transform!” Lu Yu suddenly hissed in a low voice. The illusion of the venomous dragon instantly shattered into pieces, and countless black, snake-scale-like vapors enveloped Lu Yu’s entire body, even changing his eyes from black to green. Behind him, a snake tail several zhang long swayed back and forth. His fingernails, sharp and several inches in length, resembled fangs dripping with a sinister black luster.
“The Toxic Dragon Transformation is complete, obtaining all attributes of a peak-level Grade 8 Toxic Dragon. Due to the significant difference between the original and transformed levels, all attributes are—unknown!”
Lu Yu didn’t even glance at the floating text in front of him.
He didn’t care whether all of this was unknown; he needed to fight for every second.
He could feel an immense power surging within his body, a force that nearly possessed the devastating capability to destroy the heavens and shatter the earth.
The rest of Lu Yu’s abilities vanished. However, the Star Soul of Slaughter remained.
His left hand lifted, radiating a massive amount of power while emitting a chilling, cold light.
“Kill!”
Lu Yu’s eyes shifted from green to blood red, emitting two startling beams of crimson light that streaked through the air for several feet.
Boom!
Lu Yu’s left hand extended forward, his five fingers aiming straight at the stone door.
At the moment his hand touched the stone door, a powerful counterforce surged through, causing Lu Yu’s arm to emit a faint cracking sound.
Lu Yu clenched his teeth, all his strength focused on his left hand, desperately channeling every bit of his power into the stone door.
The stone door began to slowly slide open, creating a narrow gap.
“Good!” Lu Yu gritted his teeth, his steel-like teeth clenched tightly as a splash of bloody red spurted from between his teeth!
His left arm muscles twitched and bulged, and the more power he channeled, the stronger the recoil became, causing even the scale armor to develop fine cracks.
With every passing second, the stone door opened a little wider.
This was a battle of willpower and strength, and Lu Yu couldn’t afford to relax for even a moment. Because he only had three minutes—once this time passed, he had no idea when the next three minutes would come.
Time passed second by second. When the stone door slid open one-third of the way, it suddenly slid completely open.
Time, two minutes and thirty-one seconds!
Lu Yu’s arm was also pulled back, and his left hand had gone completely numb.
The moment he stepped through the stone door, it closed behind him, leaving him in an enclosed space.
In front of him were two stone platforms. One held a green pearl, and the other bore a suit of armor!
This armor somewhat resembles light cavalry armor. It is entirely crimson in color, except for a silver dragon emblem the size of a palm located on the upper left chest. The armor’s joint areas are all well-crafted, with no gaps whatsoever. Everything except the eyes is fully covered by this light armor.
“Level nine armor?” Lu Yu’s eyes lit up with excitement, and he almost shouted in delight.
Another green bead was emitting a faint green glow.
Lu Yu had only slightly inhaled the fumes when, in an instant, he felt excruciating pain coursing through his body, as if being cut by knives. Even his hands and feet began to emit pus and blood. The Ten Thousand Poisons Body took effect, dispersing and neutralizing the toxic gas.
However, using an eighth-level Myriad Poison Body to neutralize a ninth-level poison still consumed a few seconds. In that short span of time, Lu Yu’s hands were nearly corroded away by half.
“Level nine poison! How venomous!” Lu Yu’s expression turned even more astonished. It couldn’t even be neutralized by the Ten-Thousand-Poison Body, making it even more powerful than the poison of the Hellish Snake.
Both items were treasures, but taking just one left him feeling somewhat reluctant!
“Maybe I can give it a try!” Lu Yu stood in front of the two stone platforms, frowning as he thought for a long time, before a broad smile spread across his face.
He has a warehouse where he can instantly teleport things.
In theory, as long as your hands are fast enough.
Sending one over and taking one away is perfectly acceptable.
However, that would require his hands to be fast enough, and his concentration to be sufficiently focused.
Lu Yu looked at the time, there were still more than ten hours left.
So he can rest for these dozen hours!
After replenishing some food supplies in the warehouse, Lu Yu went to sleep.
…
The final ten minutes!
Lu Yu stood in front of the two stone platforms and placed his watch on one of them, allowing himself to accurately observe the difference in time.
“Opportunity only comes once; your hands must be fast enough!” Lu Yu flexed his fingers and moved his joints, continuously practicing grabbing and transporting items from the warehouse, honing his skills.
Lu Yu’s heart rate reached 110 beats per second, and his mind began to feel extremely exhilarated.
I don’t seek anything else, only a momentary success.
Lu Yu believed that the other four people were just as nervous as he was at that moment.
In the final minute, Lu Yu placed his hands above the two objects, watching the seconds tick by. The stone chamber was so silent that only the sound of Lu Yu’s heartbeat could be heard.
Fifty-seven seconds, fifty-eight seconds——
Lu Yu took a deep breath. As he saw the pointer land on fifty-nine seconds, his left hand swiftly moved onto the armor and gently lifted it upward.
Teleport!
Buzz! The armor vanished.
“Haha, I did it!” At the very moment the armor was lifted, Lu Yu’s right hand almost instantly grabbed the bead.
In the moment the armor vanished, Lu Yu also grasped the bead in his hand.
All of this was completed in almost half a second.
At this moment, the light of the formation beneath Lu Yu’s feet began to shine.
Another transmission.
The green bead arrived at his warehouse, and in his hand, he now held an ordinary Star Spirit Bead!
Last second!
Lu Yu appeared outside the grand hall, while within the hall’s chamber, echoes of his maniacal laughter still lingered.
At the same moment, four beams of light simultaneously flashed around him.
The Four Great Demon Lords, who had been waiting impatiently outside the palace, saw the five of them appear and were already worn out from waiting.
At the moment the five figures appeared, they were just about to step forward.
“Start!”
All five of them shouted at the same time.
Lu Yu’s eight thousand blades of Huangquan, infused with searing souls, erupted toward Tu Xue.
“What, what is going on here?” Tu Xue was the first to be taken aback, stunned.
Not only was Tu Xue stunned, but even the wilderness and the other Demon Lord were taken aback.
Lu Yu displayed the power of a fourth-level Star Soul. However, how could Huangquan, who was only at the third level, possess eight thousand Huangquan Blades?
“What’s going on with your people, Fan Tian?” Before Tu Xue could finish his momentary shock and furious roar, he was already overwhelmed by the blade of Huangquan.
The Blazing Soul Blast was launched, like a missile striking the ground, causing rocks to fly and explosions of fire to erupt. Amidst the flames, Tu Xue roared in fury.
Eight thousand blades of the Yellow Spring—this number exceeds their understanding, surpassing even the strongest of the Brahma Clan throughout history.
Boom, boom, boom…
The other four also attacked at the same time, unleashing their most powerful strikes. Then, without even caring whether their attacks succeeded, they simultaneously fled toward the desolate mountains of the Demon Sovereign’s domain.
Lu Yu cast a barely perceptible glance toward Zhang Miaofan, then quickly dashed toward the distant desolate mountains.
The attack fell before the Four Great Demon Lords, forming a barrier that blocked their view.
Huowu chased after Zhang Miaofei.
Tu Xue and the others were taken aback. She should have been chasing after Lu Yu.
But at this moment, Tu Xue and the others’ minds were filled with anger and chaos, leaving no time for further thoughts.
Lu Yu wields the Quake of the Yellow Spring, and possesses the method to control the Blade of the Yellow Spring that surpasses even the Brahma Clan’s authority. Capturing him would mean gaining control over the Brahma Clan itself.
Tu Xue chased after Lu Yu, no longer caring why Fan Tian hadn’t pursued him.
“Looking for death!”
“Dare to scheme against us!”
Huang Ying and the other demon, filled with rage, chased after them respectively.
In the blink of an eye, the grand hall was completely empty.
“Brothers, survive.” Liu Xiaotian had no one chasing him; he murmured to himself and ran toward the bloody entrance.
Once you pass the Blood Gate, victory is yours!
…
Lu Yu moved through the mountains, tightly gripping the bead in his hand.
His speed is so fast that he can perform Tu Xue more quickly. After albinism, Tu Xue becomes like a beam of light, shattering everything that dares to stand in his way!
“Human, how dare you try to escape! Leave your belongings and I might spare your life!” Tu Xue shouted from behind, yet showed no mercy as he closed the distance in an instant, reaching Lu Yu’s back. In the next moment, he ruthlessly struck Lu Yu’s back with a fierce palm.
As the Demon Lord, Tu Xue’s power is great enough to instantly kill low-level beings like Lu Yu.
Lu Yu has escaped from Fan Tian’s grasp before, proving that he possesses some strength.
But Tu Xue wanted to capture him alive.
He is after not only the item in Lu Yu’s possession, but also the secrets of the Fan Tian clan.
Lu Yu was struck in the back by a palm strike, the force surging into his body like a violent wave.
The Phantom Spirit Bone activates!
The power of Tu Xue was completely expelled from his body.
However, the power is too strong!
Lu Yu crashed through chunks of rubble, rising to his feet as the force dissipating from his body.
If she had attacked in anger like Flame Dancer did at the beginning, Lu Yu might have had to use his Silver Dragon’s Embrace.
“Surviving my palm strike unscathed is truly impressive,” Tu Xue said arrogantly, standing before Lu Yu with a cold voice. He stretched out his large hand and commanded, “Hand over everything you’ve obtained, and I’ll guarantee you a long life!”
“Do you really think I’ll believe you?” Lu Yu laughed loudly, suddenly hurling the mutated Star Spirit Pearl in his hand straight forward with great force.
His actual strength was indeed inferior to Tu Xue’s, but with a force of several hundred thousand, he could throw anything hundreds of kilometers away!
“Damn it!” Tu Xue never expected that Lu Yu would actually pull off such a move.
Tu Xue didn’t hesitate for a moment; in that instant, he embraced Lu Yu and chased after the mutated Star Spirit Pearl.
“Great! I was just afraid you wouldn’t chase after him!” Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Tu Xue pursuing relentlessly.
Tu Xue Lian was willing to temporarily abandon even the “Toxic Dragon’s Touch,” which only proves how precious these things are!
Lu Yu turned around and fled in the opposite direction of Tu Xue.
