80: Pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger? Then I leave?

Dazzling ice crystals, like withered leaves, fluttered down from the sky. When they landed on the Earth Demon King's body, which had been suddenly frozen, they silently carved one indentation after another into its icy surface.

Although this move Lu Yu performed still looked like Frost Impact, it was actually a brand-new Frost Impact that he had spent 1000 evolution points to upgrade to LV4!

Compared to LV3, the LV4 Frost Impact not only had an increased range, but also its coldness and the destructive power of the condensed ice spikes were even more astonishing!

Even Tier B Ferocious Beasts, which possessed a certain amount of primordial power and were difficult to control, could be forcibly frozen for a moment. It could be said that its power had undergone a qualitative leap!

If the Earth Demon King had fully defended, he might have been able to resist. However, he was too careless. After he was frozen, the ice spikes in the sky fell even faster, heavily bombarding the Earth Demon King's body and splashing countless irregular ice shards.

The Earth Demon King's body was instantly riddled with holes!

The numbness and stiffness when his body was frozen, the strong sense of danger that surged in his heart, and the pain of his body being shattered, like sharp knives, frantically stimulated the Earth Demon King.

The Earth Demon King's eyes turned blood-red. The Earth Armor covering his surface once again flowed like yellow sand, melting the solid ice on his body and repairing his frozen or shattered flesh.

But Lu Yu's attack did not stop there. Chidori and Shadow Strike, which he had each spent 1000 evolution points to upgrade, followed one after another!

Compared to the previous Chidori, the number of clones had not changed; there were still ten clones. However, the power contained within these ten clones had increased by another level.

If these clones were almost unable to break through the defenses of Tier B Ferocious Beasts before, now, these clones could completely break through!

Even the Earth Demon King, covered by Earth Armor, was hit in the chest by the successive bombardments of Chidori, and his earthy-yellow energy was rapidly consumed.

As for Shadow Strike, when it was upgraded to LV4, a significant change occurred, adding a hint of void essence.

Instead of three phantoms appearing that could swap positions with the user, Lu Yu's figure and aura were hidden in the void for a short time, unable to be detected or locked onto, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Then he would quickly lurk around the target and launch a fatal blow, with its power guaranteed to increase threefold, causing a critical hit!

This skill could be called a divine assassination technique!

While the Earth Demon King was overwhelmed by the Chidori bombardment, Lu Yu had already reached his back. Then, he flapped a single wing, like a serrated greatsword, tearing a deep, bone-visible gash across his back!

The Earth Demon King was completely stunned at this moment. Even the excruciating pain on his back, like a slow slicing, didn't allow him to recover immediately.

He simply couldn't comprehend why the skills Lu Yu displayed could undergo a qualitative leap in such a short period!

Previously, those skills at most only caused some superficial wounds to his armored self. But now, all the methods Lu Yu used, while seemingly no different from his previous skills, had their power increased by several times, even undergoing a qualitative change, actually posing a threat of death to him!

The Earth Demon King's heart was filled with confusion and fear.

The transformation of so many skills absolutely couldn't be due to enlightenment.

Could it be that he was playing innocent before, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?

Did he deliberately not unleash the full power of his skills?

But that doesn't seem to make sense either... Just as the Earth Demon King's CPU was about to explode, he quickly shook his head, tried to calm down as much as possible, and pondered countermeasures.

After all, the strength Lu Yu was currently displaying still gave him a strong scent of death.

Earth Armor was his strongest method, both offensive and defensive, but its consumption of spiritual energy was also terrifying. Even if he broke through to Tier B, he couldn't maintain this state for long.

Moreover, under the consumption of Lu Yu's various skills, the time Earth Armor could be used was even shorter.

"You forced my hand. I'll use this final blow, which I haven't fully comprehended yet, to send you on your way!"

The moment the Earth Demon King made his decision, he stepped down onto the earth one after another, sending soil and rocks flying, sinking into the ground as if taking a horse stance.

Then the entire earth seemed to be pulled by him, gathering like flowing water, forcibly adhering to his body.

His already burly body, about ten meters tall, further surged at this moment, reaching about a hundred meters, like a gigantic mountain, crushing the ground and casting an boundless shadow, bringing a strong sense of oppression to everything around him!

"You are fortunate to die by my hand. Feel the accumulated wrath of this land over billions of years!"

An unprecedentedly frantic voice rang out. The towering giant figure suddenly clasped his hands together, trapping Lu Yu between them with unimaginable speed, not giving Lu Yu even a sliver of a chance to escape.

As soon as the Earth Demon King's body rose like a mountain, Lu Yu had a premonition of trouble. Although he knew what method the Earth Demon King was using, this giant figure, in his perception, mobilized almost all of the Earth Demon King's primordial power!

Powerful and chaotic!

This should be the Earth Demon King's final blow.

Lu Yu tried to flap his wings and escape, but he seemed to be caught in some kind of illusion. No matter which direction he flew—east, west, south, or north—he would always return to the center of that giant palm!

It was also at this moment that the Earth Demon King, with sweat covering his forehead and his muscular body trembling, held his last breath, stabilized his figure, and then heavily clasped his hands together. Unimaginable pressure crushed down on Lu Yu, who was caught between his palms!

Immediately, Lu Yu's body began to creak, as if all his bones were about to be crushed. The surrounding spiritual energy was completely dispelled by this pressure, forming a vacuum zone.

"Annihilation!"

The Earth Demon King's increasingly weak voice rang out.

Finally, his two palms, bearing unimaginable pressure, heavily clasped together, touching each other like a praying stone statue.

"Lord!!!"

Firebird and the other ferocious beasts instantly panicked when they saw this scene.

The Earth Demon King's final move made them feel extremely terrified.

They had originally thought Lu Yu could escape, but they never expected that Lu Yu not only didn't escape, but also seemed to have been crushed by that colossal figure!

At this moment, their hearts felt as if they had also been crushed, with a feeling that the sky had fallen.

And the high-ranking officials from various countries who had been observing here also watched this scene with shocked faces.

Was this Earth Demon, like a human with two horns on his head, the ultimate victor?!

Just thinking about Lu Yu's endless methods and his even more powerful skills at the end, which they had witnessed firsthand for hundreds of years, still made them hold a glimmer of hope for Lu Yu's survival.

Especially the many high-ranking officials of Huaxia, they did not wish for Lu Yu's death. Compared to other ferocious beasts, Lu Yu was relatively friendly to humanity, and he was an existence they wanted to continuously seek cooperation with in the future.

And under their gaze, the Earth Demon King's body twitched, and the earth and rocks covering him fell weakly.

The hundred-meter figure collapsed and disintegrated at a visible speed!
