Not long after that, the sound of howling and screaming of human cultivators and the towering evil aura of the Fearsome Beast erupted. A tragic air spread out quickly.
Ji Xi, who had just escaped from Lunan City, turned her head and glanced in the direction of the blood-sucking wasteland. Her eyes were despondent and she lowered her head.
She had never once encountered a situation where she had to leave a place in such a humiliating fashion. She had to depend on others to sacrifice their own lives to create an opportunity for her to escape. As someone who grew up as a proud, gifted daughter of a powerful family, the blow was too great.
“Miss Ji, let’s hurry up and go.” Song Yu’s mood was extraordinarily heavy.
Ji Xi also knew how to distinguish between priorities. She nodded and left reluctantly. She headed straight for the capital. En route, she handed over her Emperor’s Seal of Peace Restoration to Song Yu temporarily.
“Take this Emperor’s Seal and head north to the northern cities of Flame Country. Mobilize the troops there and ensure that the loss of Lunan City is reduced to the minimum. At the very least… don’t let this disaster spread too widely.”
Ji Xi hesitated for a while. She herself would be heading for the capital to request for reinforcements.
“Take care!” Holding the heavy Emperor’s Seal in her hand, Song Yu turned around and resolutely changed her route to head north.
At the same time,
the Gamma Military Zone sensed the dire situation in Lunan City, as well as that constantly raging and increasingly more terrifying aura of the Fearsome Beast. In addition, the military zone’s communication with Wang Lu was suddenly interrupted, leaving a sense of foreboding in Xu Qingguo’s heart.
‘Gather all the troops from the entire military zone immediately and rush down to Lunan City at once!” Xu Qingguo issued his order.
The entire military force was gathered at once and rushed to Lunan City. Various military vehicles and helicopters covered the ground and sky.
“Military Lord, this operation is led by General Wang. There shouldn’t be any problems,” Qi Lei said by the side, trying to comfort him.
“Let’s hope so,” Xu Qingguo replied in a low voice. From the helicopter, he looked down at the rows of mountains with an extraordinarily heavy heart. In the deep regions of the blood-sucking wasteland,
Lu Yu was restrained by hundreds of tentacles forming a huge cage. He was unable to move and was suffering from the dual pressures from both the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon and the Demonic Armor.
And among the cultivators of the First Military Unit and those who came to lend their support, 60% were dead or wounded. The Song family of Northern Chill City all perished in battle save for Song Fangchang. At this moment, he was filled with grief and fury, his eyes bloodshot with killing intent.
The Northern Chill City’s Song family that came to support Lunan City comprised members from his lineage. After this battle, all the elites of his lineage had effectively died in battle. The Song family of Northern Chill City could no longer stand firm in Northern Chill City.
“Beast! I’ll fight you to the death!” Song Fangchang charged at the purple-haired youth.
However, before he could get close, he heard a buzzing sound. The ground shook as billowing dust and smoke rolled in. It was hundreds of thousands of Fearsome Beasts charging in a killing spree toward the cultivators of the First Military Unit and Lunan City under the summoning roars of the purple-haired youth.
“Damn! How come this beast can still summon so many Fearsome Beasts?” Seeing the oncoming herds of Fearsome Beasts, the crowd fell into greater depths of despair.
Ouyang Wen tried to cover Wang Lu to let him retreat, but Wang Lu righteously refused. He wanted to fight and perish with the cultivators of the First Military Unit. If his men were all killed in battle, and he was the only one who survived, this would constitute a great humiliation to him.
Furthermore, if the commander in chief also fled, the morale of the military forces would dip instantly and they would become disorganized. Lunan City would only fall faster.
“Come on, let me out! I don’t want to stay in this dark place for the rest of my life!”
“Only when I get out can I share the burden with you!”
The Demon trapped in the bead was howling madly. Then he said, “To unlock the confinement of this bead, you only need to… Hey, bastard, don’t die! If you die, how am I supposed to get out?”
Sensing that Lu Yu’s aura was getting weaker and weaker and his eyes were about to close, the Demon roared furiously.
Lu Yu, exhausted to the limit of his spirit, still perked up a little to taunt him. He shook his head and laughed softly, “Sorry. I’m afraid you still have to remain trapped in the bead.”
He could already feel it. His body had reached the point of utter exhaustion, and soon, he would be heading for death, let alone have the strength to open the seal of the bead and release this miserable demon.
“Liar! You are a liar! You said you would let me out!” The Demon trapped in the bead felt like a petty woman who had been cheated by a despicable man. He roared with resentment, “No! I have to save myself!”
A bead on Lu Yu’s body vibrated gently at this moment. Fluctuations of an incredibly strong aura were released. This Demon kept bashing against the bead in a bid to save himself, attempting to break the seal.
“Demon God Descends!”
He activated his own Blood of the Demon directly. Once his skill was activated, a demonic aura billowed out.
Just then, something unexpected occurred. Lu Yu’s utterly depleted body suddenly went into convulsions and he lost control of his own body. A searing pain overcame his whole body, so painful that his body was jolted into alertness.
The Blood of the Demon in Lu Yu’s body was resonating with this Demon’s. Demon God Descends was automatically activated!
Lu Yu’s face immediately sank. First, it was the restraints imposed by the Demonic Armor and the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon. Now there was another manifestation of Demon God Descends. Were they worried that he would not die in a tragic enough manner?
Initially, Lu Yu still had one breath left to hold out for a while. Now, Lu Yu’s body gave up straightaway. However, the Demon trapped in the bead couldn’t care less about these things. He simply wanted to live. What did it matter to him whether Lu Yu was dead or alive?
Boom!
A demonic force not under Lu Yu’s control erupted instantly. A huge cloud of shadow spread out in a berserk fashion.
In the blink of an eye, it had covered the sky until the atmosphere became incredibly dark and gloomy. The purple-haired youth looked at the sky and its expression suddenly froze. It then stared at the trapped Lu Yu with a look of amazement.
It could sense that another force had appeared in Lu Yu’s body suddenly. It was destroying whatever little life force that still remained in Lu Yu’s body. It would not take long before Lu Yu’s body completely gave up.
Yet what frightened it was, even after Lu Yu died, that power seemed to have its own will, and it would borrow Lu Yu’s corpse to cause trouble. And that trouble would not be small.
Therefore, the purple-haired youth must destroy Lu Yu’s body as soon as possible!
However, something unexpected happened next, which also stunned Lu Yu himself.
With the activation of Demon God Descends, Lu Yu’s aura became thoroughly chaotic. That massive cloud of shadows was still spreading wildly, squeezing every last drop of value out of Lu Yu while the Demonic Armor was also doing the same.
These two forces clashed in a violent eruption because of the conflict of interest!
The Demonic Armor radiated with a dark red light. The eye sockets of those two demonic skulls on the spaulders turned glowed with blood-red light once more. And a pair of phantom eyes appeared in the center of the cloud of shadows as well. The two forces collided explosively.
Both used forces that originated from mental power. Both were equally eerie and evil. The auras that erupted from both were akin to two unearthly mighty demons engaged in furious battle. All the Fearsome Beasts were so scared that they hunched down on the ground, not daring to move.
Following that, the two opposing forces achieved an equilibrium within Lu Yu’s
body like a miracle. In tact, a lot of power even leaked out.
Lu Yu regained control of his body. As his Gluttony Talent started to devour madly the external power that leaked out, Lu Yu’s depleted body was gradually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The next second, an exceedingly overbearing aura was released.. Behind Lu Yu, who was wearing the Demonic Armor, a cloud of shadows formed and a figure wrapped in a horrifying aura loomed gradually, like the devil descending in this world!
