Because he hadn't been maintaining his spiritual network consistently, the demon man didn't know what had killed the chunks of flesh he had split off.
Feeling the flesh worms rapidly dying, the demon man released his Spiritual Power, connecting to the flesh worms, attempting to "see" the one who killed them.
But in his "eyes," the demon man only saw a flash of golden light before the "eyes" disappeared, completely unable to see his opponent's form.
"Flame?" The demon man thought of the man who had instantly killed him, shivering involuntarily inside; that man possessed the abilities of ice, fire, and flight. He had only witnessed the man's ice, the kind that could freeze one's soul unstoppably, too terrifying.
As for the flame, the demon man hadn't seen Lu Yu use the Celestial Falling Bright Flame, so he didn't know if the golden flame user was indeed the man who froze him.
Feeling the heat of the demon heart within him, the shivering in the demon man's heart gradually turned to excitement.
Devouring the flame could make him stronger. Even if he encountered that man again, the demon man wouldn't fear him; his current strength far surpassed his previous state, many times over.
The demon man felt confident, believing he could confront the man who once killed him instantly!
Through the dead flesh worms, the demon man located Lu Yu, devoured the demon flesh in the laboratory, and with flesh writhing on his body and tentacles growing from his shoulders, he proceeded towards Lu Yu's direction.
As the demon man devoured more and more demon flesh, it became harder for him to maintain a human form. Now his body bore many "weapons," sharp red spiral spikes protruding from his skin on his back, two extremely tough whips on his shoulders, and the bloody mouth on his stomach...
When the demon man entered Lu Yu's perception range, separated by two corridors, Lu Yu showed a pleased expression.
Following the flesh worms all the way here, he had a premonition he could find the underground laboratory monster, unexpectedly finding it so soon.
Just as the demon man was considering from which direction to attack Lu Yu, he suddenly sensed a massive death of flesh worms in the area and heard a muffled explosion. A figure appeared at the corridor's end.
As soon as the demon man saw Lu Yu, Lu Yu's figure appeared before him. Upon seeing the person in front of him clearly, the excitement and impulse just bubbling inside the demon man were completely extinguished.
Only deep fear remained, the kind where no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape the bone-chilling cold.
Lu Yu could no longer recognize the monster in front of him as the demon man, a fusion of those he had once personally sent into the underground laboratory.
To him, the nature of this monster wasn't important; what mattered was killing this monster and completing the mission.
Bang! Turbulent currents mixed with golden flames surged through the corridor; the demon man's body was shattered by powerful forces and burned by the raging Celestial Falling Bright Flame.
The more than three-meter-tall body exploded, yet the anticipated blood rain was entirely evaporated by the high-temperature Celestial Falling Bright Flame, leaving only the corridor covered with fragmented flesh, where the Celestial Falling Bright Flame continued to spread and burn.
The demon man's head fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped. He sideways gazed at the man who instantly killed him, his heart dead silent.
"No matter how much I improve, facing him, there's still only being killed instantly, he's too terrifying!"
The demon man was not yet dead. The flesh beneath his severed neck turned into tentacles, struggling to straighten the head, attempting to merge with the surrounding fragments and restore his body.
The scattered flesh squirmed wildly, actively gathering together. After increasing its mobility, it squirmed towards the head, trying to fuse back with it.
A few fingers dragged the arm towards the head... Although the limbs were only half remaining, they were the largest pieces of fragmented flesh, the primary source for fusion and regeneration.
Whew~ Several golden fire lines flew out, burning the crawling limbs into ashes.
Lu Yu stepped on a piece of charred flesh, watching the struggling head, and sighed, "What impressive vitality."
Just as he was about to release the Celestial Falling Bright Flame to burn the head to ashes, an alarm rang in Lu Yu's mind.
Boom! Spiritual Power raged through the corridor, completely warping and smashing the alloy-fortified corridor in the explosion, revealing deeper soil behind the cracked cement of the alloy walls.
Broken electrical wires sparked, broken pipes inside the corridor walls sprayed water, quickly forming a puddle on the corridor floor, and the shrill alarm also stopped in the explosion.
Step step step~ A figure walked calmly towards the center of the explosion, braving the tumultuous air currents.
"Seems I went a bit too hard, and I haven't got his login device yet." That person said with a slightly regretful tone.
It sounded like he regretted not obtaining Lu Yu's Divine Weapon Realm login device, yet the smile on his face showed no hint of regret.
"Want the login device? Come and get it yourself!" A voice called from within the smoke. Thıs content belongs to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Lu Hongwei's face instantly stiffened, his mind roaring: How could this be! He's just in the Air Control realm, without a Spiritual Treasure or Spirit Armor, how could he withstand an attack from the Qi Sea realm?
Whew~ The smoke around Lu Yu was blown away by a gust of wind he generated, revealing his form. Now he wore only shorts, as the clothes and pants marked with the Golden Armor Spirit Array had utterly disintegrated in the previous attack due to the overload of the spirit array.
