77: endless means
When Lu Yu opened his eagle beak, an extremely cold breath, like a giant white light beam, surged forward. Wherever it passed, moisture in the air froze, condensing into blade-like snowflakes that drifted down.
The cold air emanating from the light beam directly froze the surrounding earth and vegetation, transforming the area into a world of ice and snow devoid of any warmth. It looked pale and spread in all directions like a white monster!
Roar! Roar!
Facing Lu Yu's sudden attack, the Earth Demon King roared in fury.
His thick, sturdy hands pounded his chest and stomped his feet, emitting deafening 'thump, thump' sounds that formed waves of sound, disturbing the originally tranquil void.
This Golden Eagle, upon seeing him, not only showed no remorse for the sin of killing his brothers and sisters, but instead provocatively launched an attack!
His heart, already filled with rage and killing intent, was once again stirred by tempestuous waves, his killing intent almost solidifying.
In this era where Ferocious Beasts distrusted and attacked each other, bloodline was undoubtedly the most reliable bond.
Originally, with his current supreme Tier B strength, coupled with the four blood-related Tier C Earth Demons under his command, he was more than enough to dominate a region, or even contend for the Supreme Throne.
However, because of Lu Yu, he not only became a lone wolf, but his previously grand blueprint was mercilessly torn to shreds, making it impossible to realize.
His heartbreaking roar caused the void to continuously rupture like tearing silk, and then spread out in violent ripples.
The Frost Impact released by Lu Yu, under the constant disturbance of this roar, rapidly twisted into winding ribbons.
Then, the ice pillar could no longer maintain its original shape, constantly cracking with creaking sounds.
After falling to the ground, the shattered ice pillars seemed to form a source of cold, emitting a fog-like chill. The ice layer on the ground grew thicker, and the area covered by the ice layer continued to expand.
Many Ferocious Beasts of Tianzhu Mountain had already been trembling in the clash of auras between Lu Yu and the Earth Demon King.
Now, whether it was the spreading cold air or sound waves, they found it difficult to bear.
Ferocious Beasts below Tier E were either frozen by the morning fog-like cold air, their fur covered in ice crystals, falling weakly to the ground and shattering into a pile of ice shards.
Or they were shaken by the sound waves, bleeding from their seven orifices, their internal organs ruptured, their bodies twitching as they unwillingly collapsed.
Even those Ferocious Beasts above Tier E were all in a state of panic and unease, anxiously raising their hooves and flapping their wings, desperately trying to escape from here.
This was just the beginning of the battle's aftermath, and they were already struggling to endure it.
If Lu Yu and the Earth Demon King fought to the death, regardless of the cost, even if they only watched from afar, they might be caught in the crossfire and die here!
At this moment, Lu Yu paid no attention to the Ferocious Beasts around Tianzhu Mountain, his gaze entirely fixed on the approximately ten-meter-tall Earth Demon King.
Although he knew that once he entered Tier B, his strength would experience a leap, the fact that Frost Impact had no effect or damage on the Earth Demon King still made his expression a bit more solemn.
Immediately, Chidori activated!
Spiritual energy surged from his body, transforming into ten identical clones of himself. Their massive wingspan obscured the sky, and dozens of sharp eagle eyes completely locked onto every move of the Earth Demon King.
Then, these clones flapped their wings simultaneously, swooping down towards the Earth Demon King.
These clones were not just for show; they possessed half of his main body's strength and could easily kill any Tier C Ferocious Beast!
Now, with ten clones and his main body attacking together, the sudden surge in oppressive power caused the ground to sink considerably.
"Great Burst Thorn!"
The anger and killing intent on the Earth Demon King's face reached a peak at this moment. He punched directly towards the sky, and a series of vacuum explosions echoed, forming a giant, forward-spreading ring.
The earth, seemingly completely under his control, also surged at this moment, shooting out thick earth thorns that defied the heavens, passing through the explosive ring, and striking at the dense figures in mid-air.
For the Earth Demon King, who had already broken through to Tier B, there was no Ferocious Beast in this world that could be his opponent; all Ferocious Beasts would submit at his feet!
Lu Yu was no exception!
The Earth Demon King's punch came extremely fast. The earth thorns first made contact and collided with Lu Yu's clones. Sharp claws and rock-like earth thorns continuously sparked.
At the same time, as the two drew closer, the pressure they endured grew immense, and then they simultaneously exploded.
An astonishing wave of air swept in all directions, like a giant inflated bubble, crushing everything in its expansion. Centuries-old trees were easily cut in half, and even the earth was plowed with twisted ravines, covered in loose soil.
Before this fluctuation subsided, the Earth Demon King's figure had already vanished from its original spot. When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air, holding an obsidian axe, and heavily cleaved down towards Lu Yu, who was soaring with outstretched wings.
The power of one axe strike was enough to split mountains and cleave seas, forming a giant axe blade tens of meters long, and its piercing cold light illuminated the world in a vast whiteness.
The Earth Demon King's sudden shift from defense to offense was very abrupt, causing the retreating Firebird and other Ferocious Beasts to suddenly feel anxious, worried that Lu Yu might be injured.
As they cried out in alarm to warn Lu Yu, the Earth Demon King, relying on his astonishing strength and explosive power, had already brought his axe down on Lu Yu's exposed lower abdomen, intending to cleave him in half.
At such a distance, there was no time to dodge!
However, before the Earth Demon King could show a look of joy, he suddenly realized that this axe strike felt as if it had missed.
This axe strike seemed not to have truly landed on Lu Yu; there was no blood flowing from his abdomen, as if he had struck empty air.
The Earth Demon King's pupils constricted slightly. This cleaving axe strike completely lost its force at this moment, and the axe blade, spanning heaven and earth, struck the jungle below. The ground where the axe blade landed began to crack, forming a not-so-simple giant ravine.
Then he suddenly discovered that from other directions, three more figures of Lu Yu attacked, their auras identical to Lu Yu's!
Even with his eyes wide like copper bells, he could not discern which figure was Lu Yu's true body.
This confusion only made the Earth Demon King hesitate for a moment. A cruel look appeared on his thick-fleshed face.
Regardless of which of the three illusions Lu Yu was hiding in, simply eliminating all of them would suffice!
"Three Thousand Axe Blades!"
Thus, the obsidian battle axe in the Earth Demon King's hand spun like a wheel. Streaks of white light, sharp enough to cut hair, leaped from the axe blade, dividing into three streams centered on him, densely rushing towards the three illusory figures of Lu Yu.
However, when these axe blades struck the three illusions, they still passed directly through them!
Yet, in the Earth Demon King's perception, Lu Yu's aura was right there, and it was getting closer.
Rip!
The sound of Golden Eagle claws, like iron hooks, tearing flesh suddenly rang out.
The Earth Demon King felt an unimaginable stinging pain in his back, and blood sprayed uncontrollably outwards. Immediately after, the three illusory figures of Lu Yu in front of him mysteriously vanished.
