Chapter 464 The Ranch Descends! The God of the Underworld Attacks! Lu Yu is About to Shatter the Pure White Realm
hum!
The curse of immortality materialized, and the phantom of the Phoenix Lord quickly recovered, but was soon destroyed again.
There was absolutely no chance of resistance.
"Old man, welcome to my era!"
Lu Yu grinned maliciously, and once again used his fist as a sword, striking down and tearing through the void.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Punch after punch, the void turbulence swept through, spreading countless spatial cracks, making this land of reincarnation like a broken piece of porcelain, ready to be swallowed up by the void turbulence at any moment.
"..."
All the members of the Ancient Phoenix Clan stared in disbelief at the tyrannical dragon shadow, lost in deep thought for a long time.
"Are all humans... this terrifying?"
One of the tribesmen, who was nearly demented, couldn't help but ask a question in a hoarse voice.
He was actually cured by the divine doctor Lu!
All the members of the Ancient Phoenix Clan turned to look at their patriarch, their gazes filled with complex emotions.
The gist of it is... you call this a weak and cute race?
Is it certain that humans needed their protection in ancient times?
It feels like... they're already being kind-hearted by not forcing the Ancient Phoenix Clan to their knees.
"..."
The Ancient Phoenix Clan Chief was also speechless, not knowing how to explain, and suddenly felt that the outside world was extremely unfamiliar.
He even began to wonder if he was experiencing memory loss due to dying too many times, which was causing his confusion.
As for Huang Yun, she no longer wanted to speak.
The monster has finally revealed its true form.
"Don't worry, not everyone is like that, he's just a little stronger."
With her weakened body, Crimson Lotus spoke words of comfort, her crimson eyes gazing unfocused at the powerful figure.
"fine!"
The others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
It's good that not everyone is a monster.
at the same time……
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord was blasted five times in a row, its eyes wide with shock. Although its strength was suppressed by the Reincarnation Emperor Tree Chain, Lu Yu's strength was terrifyingly excessive.
Is this guy really just an ancient giant?
But He had no time to think. He could clearly sense that the Undying Curse, which had been usurped and restricted by Lu Yu, was nearing its limit.
Unable to reclaim the Reincarnation Tree, exceeding the limit will not result in instant death, but will incur greater costs and further weaken the user.
At that point, they will be completely at the mercy of others, like fish on a chopping board.
"The Dance of the Phoenix!"
When the Phoenix Lord was resurrected this time, an immortal flame erupted from her body, and her figure twisted, displaying a beautiful dance of immortality.
boom!
A vast surge of spiritual energy swept out, forcefully repelling the chains of rules. At the same time, facing Lu Yu's offensive, it formed several incantation seals.
A curse is a framework for the rules governing all things.
The seal represents the logic of applying the rules.
Combining the two creates a shortcut to using the rules.
"Celestial Phoenix Secret Technique - Heavenly Fire Scorches the Realm!"
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord murmured to himself, and streaks of black phoenix shadows emerged from the void, carrying flames that scorched the world, transforming into pillars of fire that illuminated the world, instantly engulfing the figure clad in dragon armor.
However, there was no surprise in the eyes of the Phoenix Lord's phantom; instead, the expression grew increasingly solemn.
He could sense that the temperature within the pillar of fire was still rising, exceeding the limits of the mortal world, somewhat like that of something high above...
sun?
But how did the sun come to the earth?
As the phantom of the Phoenix Lord pondered and was about to make another move, it suddenly saw something within the flames...
A mysterious ranch!
It exists between reality and illusion, embedded in the gaps of time and space, seemingly eternal, yet also like a product of fantasy.
Inside, the deep blue pastures are lush and green, the sun, moon, and stars revolve, cattle and sheep roam freely, and in the center stands a giant egg of chaotic color.
It is quiet and peaceful, like a paradise on earth.
However, when the phantom of the Phoenix Lord blinked, it found that the scene before it had completely changed. What was growing in the pasture was not grass at all, but countless wailing souls planted in the chaotic soil, unable to escape.
The so-called bodies of cattle and sheep turned into blurry black shadows, which quickly stretched into huge, terrifying, twisted shadows, exuding a foul divine aura, with their heads hanging low, constantly devouring the souls of all living beings.
Dusk, the moon, and the stars are entangled and grazed within a multitude of mysterious chains.
"What is this?!"
Even the phantom of the Phoenix Lord was stunned, but had no time to think. Soon, it saw a magnificent and sacred Sun King's Court, inside which lay a giant beast formed of radiance, which opened its eyes.
"roar!"
With a deafening roar, the scorching sun's fire swept across the land. Although the Phoenix Lord managed to block it in time, she still felt a slight stinging pain.
Looking down, you can see golden burn marks on your palms.
at the same time,
The originally raging pillar of fire was quickly compressed into a fireball, which Lu Yu grabbed, and the ferocious dragon head opened its blood-red maw and swallowed it.
He let out a burp, exhaling sparks, and remarked:
"Burp~ It tastes alright."
There was no trace of being burned by the Heavenly Phoenix Fire on his body, and the dragon armor was surrounded by the radiance of the sun, as if he had been nourished.
However, all creatures on the ranch are the private property of the rancher and can be disposed of at will. This includes Sun Chaser and the [Sun-Eating Royal Court] that it evolved in the last War of the Sun Relics.
Although it's not enough to devour the flames on the Supreme Sun, what lies before us...
She's not the real Phoenix Lord either!
Moreover, Egg has control over a portion of the reincarnation path, rendering the life-related rules contained within the Heavenly Phoenix Flame directly ineffective.
In this version, the ultimate counter is greater than the god!
"The Path of the Sun!" The phantom of the Phoenix Lord looked incredulous, never expecting to see someone walking this path in the mortal world.
The fact that even a civilization that worshipped the sun could be buried shows how dangerous it was.
The scariest thing is...
That mysterious, radiant beast, despite only possessing the strength of a giant, has already condensed the rudiments of a royal court. Even the chosen ones of the supreme sun might not receive such treatment.
Is this thing in front of me really human?
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord could not understand, but He knew that He had to do everything in His power to suppress the other party, otherwise all His plans would fail.
"Your resistance, like mosquito bites, annoys me."
Lu Yu's figure shattered layers of void and appeared in front of the Phoenix Lord's phantom. The air currents he stirred up turned into a gale, cutting through everything. The powerful dragon energy that spread out burned the surroundings, making the Phoenix Lord's phantom feel suffocated.
It showcases the ultimate in violent aesthetics!
boom!
Lu Yu extended his dragon claw, forcefully shattering the Heavenly Phoenix Flame, and reached out to grab the phantom of the Phoenix Lord.
hum!
However, the prolonged delay continued to suppress the Phoenix Court. The Paper Knight, who had repeatedly used the Constant Immortal Light state and even denied his weakened state, experienced a brief moment of exhaustion.
Or rather, the fact that a pet beast of the level of an ancient giant could suppress the royal court left behind by an ancient demigod is already an astonishing thing.
Although the Paper Knight quickly recovered, Phoenix Court still found an opportunity and successfully tore apart the Law Domain.
However, the Phoenix Court was also covered by a large amount of distorted will by the [Law of the Beast - Star of Judgment], which affected even the remaining trace of law and reduced its power considerably.
However, it still contained terrifying power, transforming into a phoenix shadow soaring through the sky, with thousands of streams of light swirling back and attacking Lu Yu from behind.
"Watch out!" Red Lotus Chiyue warned upon seeing this.
However, even faster than her, the dark void unfolded, and countless dark purple spider silks fell down, binding Huang Ying and turning her into a puppet, unable to move an inch.
Furthermore, it was infused with the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, forcibly suppressing it.
The Law of the Beast—The Void Weaves the Heavens!
"Surprised?"
Lu Yu smiled mockingly, and countless threads spread from the dragon claw on his left hand, as if manipulating the trajectory of fate.
In fact, "The Law of Man - The Eye of Fallacy" is also poised to launch, its main theme being the bullying of the weak and the ruthless attack on those who are down on their luck.
If that doesn't work, there's the Law of the Mouse and the Paper Knight, and the rest of our trump cards.
No matter what you do, you have to be careful!
"Another law!!!" The phantom of the Phoenix Lord was utterly desperate and unwilling to die. He wanted to repel Lu Yu by self-destructing, but he saw thousands of bone swords and phantom swords appear around him, intertwining and transforming into a skeletal dragon carrying a sword tomb on its back.
Or rather, it is also a sword!
"Phantom Sword - Corpse Emperor Dragon!"
The skeletal dragon roared and swallowed the phantom of the Phoenix Lord whole. Countless sword energies erupted within its body, piercing through hundreds of thousands of times in an instant.
Finally, it transformed into a white bone sword monument, which fell into the void and bound it within.
"Actually, calling this move 'Illusory Dragon Playing with Phoenix Sword' wouldn't be bad either." Lu Yu stroked his chin, which was covered in bone spurs, and gave himself a thumbs up for his naming ability.
That's so cultured!
"Void Dragon? Cultivator, are you weak?" A curious voice came from the mouse's mind.
Lu Yu's face darkened. Ignoring him, he turned to look at the phantom of the Phoenix Lord and said calmly:
"You lost this game!"
"Indeed..." The phantom of the Phoenix Lord remained noble and aloof, not losing her composure despite the defeat, and calmly stated:
"You are indeed very smart and powerful, but the rules of the game can only bind the weak; the strong can overturn them and start over."
"What do you mean?" Lu Yu asked, frowning.
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord did not answer directly, but instead raised its long, slender neck, which had been pierced through and was almost completely severed, and looked up at the sky.
Lu Yu stared at her, and to prevent being ambushed, a crack appeared at the top of the dragon's head, and the dragon's eye emerged, seeing purple light seeping from the crack in the canopy of the Tree of Rebirth.
Peaceful, quiet, ancient...
"This is... the Underworld!" Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise, then murmured, "This is way too fast!"
Wasn't the Undying Heavenly Phoenix's corpse only recently arrived in the Pure White Realm?
How did it suddenly fly to the vicinity of the underworld?
No, that's not right, there's also a pure white glow!
Lu Yu's Eye of Truth keenly captured the faint pure white light within the radiance, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
Suddenly it dawned on me that it wasn't the remains of the Heavenly Phoenix that had arrived in the Underworld.
Instead, someone couldn't wait and moved the underworld over.
Those who can achieve this are absolutely...
"A deity, and a deity of the underworld at that!"
Lu Yu murmured, suddenly understanding many things.
The Path of Death already has ten Underworld Gods.
Seven of the royal trees originated from the shattered Tree of Death, and are essentially deities.
Unless it is a forbidden law, even the supreme law has its limits.
The ten deities have already seized all the authority over death, encompassing almost all concepts of death.
The death of all living beings in all the heavens and myriad realms is shrouded in their shadow.
There are only three ways to give birth to a new god.
The first option is that all ten gods must relinquish some of their authority, but the price would be their own eternal weakening.
But that's impossible.
The struggle for power is extremely cruel.
The second approach is to create a completely new concept of death, making the pie bigger, but this is extremely difficult and almost impossible to achieve.
Unless… a forbidden entity intervenes, such as Lu Yu becoming a forbidden truth, which could then determine a new concept of death. Even if it doesn't exist, forbidden truths defy logic and can be forcibly solidified.
I say you have it, and you have it!
The third option is to replace one of the gods of the underworld!
There is no other way. Otherwise, let alone a mere demigod, even a true god would be dragged out and beaten up if he wanted to be buried in the underworld in this way.
Lu Yu suddenly said, "You want to replace the Hidden Corpse Emperor?"
After all, He is the only god of the underworld who has died suddenly over the long course of history.
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord is not stupid and should understand this point. Since it still chooses this method of ascending to godhood, it means that it has likely received a promise from some great being.
It will help Him ascend to godhood!
"Very clever. The power of a deity is limitless, but their authority is finite." The Phoenix Lord gave Lu Yu a deep look and said softly, "I thought I could take advantage of the fact that the Corpse-Hidden Emperor has not yet returned to accumulate more Death Weight, seize His path in advance, and condense the authority of the Underworld God, but unfortunately..."
"Recently, this path has been repaired, and He, who died once, is even more mysterious than before."
"Therefore, we cannot wait any longer and can only try our last chance."
What does that mean?
Does this mean that the Hidden Corpse Emperor has just returned and hasn't recovered his peak strength?
Or is it that you want to emulate the Mother of Twilight by tearing apart the authority of the night and seizing one of the remaining authorities of death: the skeletons or the graveyard?
In particular, the Bone Authority is very suitable for the Undying Phoenix in its corpse form!
Lu Yu's mind raced as he continued, "Who is the one behind you? One of the Seven Great Imperial Trees? The Lord of Peace? Or the God of the Underworld?"
"Guess?" The phantom of the Phoenix Lord blinked, a hint of amusement in its smile.
Click!
In response, Lu Yu pierced the opponent's body directly with the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear.
His gun has already pierced goddesses and the great supernatural beings of the sick, and now it has added the achievement of demigod.
Among the higher ranks, the only thing missing is a true king!
Lady World probably wouldn't mind getting stabbed, but the Mech Angel would definitely hunt him down to death, the kind where the Mech Mother finishes him off.
Rumble!
Lu Yu extinguished the dangerous thought and was about to send the phantom of the Phoenix Lord on its way when he felt a vast pressure descend, carrying endless death energy, enveloping the Heavenly Phoenix Nest.
Like a tsunami that engulfs a city, it destroyed everything in an instant.
Divine power is like a prison!
No matter how many times Lu Yu felt the power of the gods, his mind was filled with awe and greed.
When I become a god, it will definitely be even cooler than this!
hum!
The Reincarnation King Tree, whose connection had been severed, suddenly unleashed its power, sending the Crimson Corrosion King Tree, along with Rat and Red Hare, flying away.
The vast light of reincarnation shone brightly in the Phoenix Nest once more, breaking the restrictions left by Lu Yu, and the curse of immortality was restored once more.
"Cough cough cough, Xiu Ren, this is a tough one!" The weak voice of the rat echoed in Lu Yu's mind.
Fortunately, the Crimson King Tree was originally a descendant of the Ghost King Tree, and thus has resistance to the power of death; otherwise, several rat clones would have had to die in its place.
"roar!"
Red Hare also suffered a severe injury, its body corroded by the power of death. However, this humiliation enraged it, and a continuous stream of power surged forth, which was offset by the pollution from the molten oil.
Just kidding, it also evolved through the contamination of the Machine God!
Lu Yu looked up and realized that it was the God of the Underworld behind this plan who had made his move. He asked the mouse if it could sense the other party's identity.
But the answer was no.
The other party concealed their identity, making it impossible to determine whether they were one of the Seven Great Imperial Trees, the Lord of Peace, or the God of the Underworld.
"His ambitions are quite grand!" Lu Yu murmured.
To be able to plan an ascension to godhood, and even be willing to have another competitor on the same path, is definitely for the sake of seeking greater benefits.
So what if the Phoenix Lord's illusory image failed?
He looked down at all of this indifferently. Even if Lu Yu tried his best to reverse the situation, what difference would it make?
With just a little influence, chaos can be set right; that is what makes it a great being!
They gave birth to greatness!
"Power is returning!"
As the Undying Curse was restored, the Phoenix Lord's phantom also regained its power. Coupled with the divine might of the great being, the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear trembled violently, making Lu Yu's tiger's mouth go numb.
This personal treasure that has always accompanied Lu Yu has been continuously strengthened along with his growth, but at this stage, it is still somewhat difficult to ignore the power of a great being.
Click click click!
The Bone Sword Monument continued to shatter, and the Phoenix Lord's illusory figure said calmly:
"The game of a great being is a predetermined destiny, one that cannot be influenced by the pieces, but soon..."
"I will become the new chess player!"
"Well said, but I deny your immortality!" Lu Yu interrupted him, and countless eyes of fallacy appeared around him, greedily staring at the phantom of the Phoenix Lord, expounding endless fallacies, denying what is right, denying everything.
At this moment, the phantom of the Phoenix Lord felt its once abundant power vanish into nothingness, and it became completely numb.
This human actually possesses laws governing humanity?!
Is he the mother river's own son? How could he be so favored?
"All your actions are futile struggles in the face of a great being, and will only hasten your death!" The phantom of the Phoenix Lord calmed himself and said indifferently.
There was no threatening tone; it was simply stating a fact.
So what if Lu Yu can suppress Him?
The great being has already arrived, but has chosen to remain hidden.
However, the Heavenly Phoenix Nest is not the main world, so it does not weaken the mortal ecology of the gods. At most, it will trigger the divinity of the immortal Heavenly Phoenix corpse and weaken some of its power.
Of course, this is assuming the other party refuses to show themselves. If they do show themselves...
A mere demigod is no match for a god of the underworld!
Even if the gods don't intervene, the power of the reborn royal tree's descendants is enough to give Lu Yu a hard time.
Whoosh whoosh!
The reborn descendant of the Imperial Tree unleashed a vast and powerful pressure, with chains of rules shrouded in black and white light sweeping over, ready to crush Lu Yu with overwhelming force.
"roar!"
Seeing this, Red Hare wanted to continue manipulating the earth to sever the source of power of the Reincarnation Emperor Tree.
However, this time, it failed.
"Hey!"
Influenced by this mysterious god of the underworld, the corpse of the Undying Phoenix sensed danger and was completely awakened. Flames burned within its rotting flesh and blood, dancing in the Mother River and gathering immense life force, thus completely reviving.
It's completely unmanageable!
If Red Hare hadn't withdrawn its power in time, it might have even faced a counterattack and been burned to ashes by the heavenly fire.
Click click click!
A chain of rules lashed out, and Lu Yu managed to dodge it by teleporting through the void, but he was relentlessly pursued and blocked by more chains, which pressed him closer and closer.
"it's over!"
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord drew the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear from her body, gave Lu Yu a deep look, and remembered this opponent who had forced her into a dead end. Then she turned and walked towards the Tree of Rebirth.
boom!
Resonating with the Reincarnated Imperial Tree, the power of rules surged, and the laws on the corpse of the Undying Heavenly Phoenix shone, beginning to enter a mysterious frequency, attracting the great will of the Mother River.
Endless spiritual energy gathered, serving as fuel for the remains of the Undying Heavenly Phoenix, allowing it to continue its dance of rebirth between the Pure White Heaven and the Underworld.
Despite being deceased, they displayed the ultimate beauty of life!
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord looked up at the sky, her gaze calm yet tinged with sadness, and slowly said:
"Bearing the weight of death, forging the coffin of the underworld!"
As soon as the words fell, black specks of light began to float from the bodies of the ancient phoenixes. Upon closer inspection, one could see that they reflected the myriad aspects of death, and they continued to fly towards the branches of the Reincarnation Emperor Tree.
They tried to resist, but felt an overwhelming weakness and staggered to the ground.
The weight of death continued to condense and merge, increasing its weight and causing the remains of the Undying Phoenix to sink considerably towards the underworld.
The key to this ritual is the weight of countless deaths, also known as death matter.
Essentially, it is also a product of the ecosystem, only more advanced, allowing the Undying Phoenix to reverse the ritual of the Phoenix Dance and sink into the underworld, taking the opportunity to condense the power of death!
Just when the phantom of the Phoenix Lord thought everything would proceed as planned, it discovered that apart from the parts extracted from the ancient Phoenix Clan...
No new Death's Weight has been added yet!
"How is that possible?"
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord was taken aback. How could the Nirvana Dance ritual be reversed without enough death matter?
He suddenly looked at Lu Yu, who was still being chased by the chains of rules. The latter felt the gaze, let out a burp, and the dragon eyes on his body showed a satisfied expression.
Eggy...I had a great time!
All the weight of death, whether or not it could be digested, was stuffed into the city of reincarnation.
"Hand it over!"
The voice of the Phoenix Lord's phantom was icy.
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless chains of rules swept forward with all their might, but suddenly began to wither in mid-air, as if their moisture had been drained, and instantly collapsed, turning into dust that scattered across the sky.
Even the tree canopy that covered the Phoenix Nest began to turn yellow at a visible speed, revealing more of the outside world. The original black and white radiance was covered by the light of dusk, as if it had entered its twilight years and was gradually approaching its end.
Before He could react, He heard Lu Yu whisper, "How's the corruption on the Mother of Twilight? Pretty effective, huh?"
At this moment, his ferocious dragon head split open its blood-red maw, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
This was something he had painstakingly obtained from the Mother of Twilight during his last battle against the gods at the Ruins of the Sun.
Because it possesses a strong will and cannot be controlled, it can only be placed in the Thousand-Armed Demon God material library, but it is very suitable for large, immobile targets like this.
The tactic of bullying the weak involves using any means necessary, and poisoning is naturally one of them.
Without the Reincarnation Tree's obstruction, Lu Yu switched from defense to offense, charging forward once more. He used the Fallacious Law to shatter the Phoenix Lord's illusory form, his dragon claws gripping her head as he questioned:
"What are you pretending for?"
The phantom of the Phoenix Lord was not angered by the provocation; she merely looked at him indifferently and said, "What's the point?"
He truly did not understand.
With that god of the underworld present, everything will be set right, and no matter how much Lu Yu struggles, it will all be in vain.
Even He Himself was merely a pawn...
boom!
As they spoke, an immense pressure descended once more, this time targeting Lu Yu directly.
However, it seems much weaker than the Mother of Twilight was back then, more like a demigod-level power, probably because she didn't want to attract the attention of other gods.
But that's enough to eliminate Lu Yu as an unstable factor.
"It's over."
At this moment, the ancient phoenix clansmen were utterly desperate and closed their eyes.
Red Lotus Crimson Moon supported her weak body, resisting the oppressive aura, and walked with difficulty toward Lu Yu. Since the final outcome was death anyway, she might as well die with him.
"The might of the gods!"
Lu Yu sighed, feeling the overwhelming power. He felt like an ant on the edge of a broken cliff, easily killed by a small pebble.
Now, a massive boulder has fallen, casting a shadow of death over his future.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu's lips curled up slightly, and the City of Reincarnation within his body, covered by the Crimson Kingdom, unfolded, releasing a massive amount of death weight that landed directly on the earth.
Boom boom boom!
Following the crimson pillar that Lu Yu had the Ancient Phoenix Clan bury earlier, it was quickly injected into the corpse of the Undying Heavenly Phoenix.
Rumble!
It abruptly froze what was originally the dance of rebirth, but quickly triggered a counterattack, shattering the God of the Underworld's attack. The power swept outwards, and fortunately there were no small worlds nearby, otherwise it would have been directly shattered by the aftershocks.
"Hey!"
But it was also severely injured as a result, its body rotted further, and it emitted mournful cries.
Those who hear it are heartbroken, and those who listen shed tears.
Lu Yu's gaze remained unchanged. Without the interference of the Tree of Rebirth and the Phoenix Lord, he now relied on the weight of death and the Crimson Pillar Heavenly Principle Nails he had previously planted to become the only person who could affect the corpse of the Heavenly Phoenix.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" the phantom of the Phoenix Lord suddenly asked.
Lu Yu did not answer, but instead used the weight of death to manipulate the remains of the Undying Heavenly Phoenix and adjust its direction.
then……
Accelerate and crash into the Pure White Realm!
