Chapter 1037: Lu Xun Awakens

Lu Xun Awakens

The instant the voice rang out, almost all the staff members in the Tianshu Base were seemingly knocked out by some kind of power, their eyes rolling back as they collapsed paralyzed onto the ground...

The entire Tianshu Base plunged into a deathly silence.

Gurgle gurgle——

The tumbling bubbles within the Hibernation Pod suddenly increased, and the hazy starlight grew ever more dazzling. The bright radiance was like a blue light source, illuminating the entire room as bright as day.

At the same time, the eyelashes of the figure suspended in the Hibernation Pod fluttered gently...

Like a king who had slumbered for a long time, about to awaken.

Swish!

The stars inside the Hibernation Pod were like exploding light bulbs. After an instant of extreme dazzle, they instantly annihilated into nothingness.

The outer shell of the Hibernation Pod melted under his scorching gaze, and the mysterious liquid originally filling it silently flowed outward, like a glowing sea of flowing starlight... A pair of feet landed on the interior of the Hibernation Pod, then slowly stepped out, stepping upon the floor full of glowing sea and walking forward.

"How long... have I slept?" Lu Xun's hoarse voice echoed in the darkness.

"About over three hundred years, I suppose."

"Over three hundred years... The effect of the hibernation plan is better than imagined."

Lu Xun adjusted to this body that had slumbered for far too long, the scorching starlight in his eyes slowly receding. He looked the Red King up and down a few times, his brows rising slightly. "Why did you change into this face?"

"Isn't it because I refuse to accept getting old?" The Red King laughed heartily. "The benefit of the Path of the Actor is that after changing faces, people can't guess my true age. As long as I feel I am a young man, then I am still a young man... It's just that occasionally there are sensible guys who say I'm acting young."

Lu Xun: ...

The smile at the corner of the Red King's mouth gradually restrained. He looked at the Lord of Tianshu before him and asked seriously:

"How is your body?"

"Decay has already begun... My time is running out." Lu Xun's voice was somewhat low. "Let's make a long story short... You awakened me, is there some important matter?"

"There are two important matters." The Red King paused for a moment,

"First, it's regarding Lou Yu, who is currently active in your territory..."

Hearing the two words "Lou Yu", Lu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly. As if perceiving something, a strange gaze looked toward the space above the Tianshu Base...

"I roughly understand. What about the second matter? Just one Lou Yu shouldn't be enough to warrant you personally coming to awaken me," Lu Xun asked calmly.

"The second matter is the most important matter." The Red King's young face surfaced with an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity. "I have a premonition that the time left for us is running out...

These over three hundred years, have you deduced 'that' answer?"

...

Outside the Tianshu Domain, Gray World earth.

Su Zhiwei, dressed entirely in white, stood floating in the air above the ruins where remaining fire fluttered. Beneath her feet was a patch of messy earth that had already been sublimated and dissipated, as if it had just experienced an earth-shaking super nuclear explosion...

Su Zhiwei panted heavily, her face slightly pale. Even a corner of her originally neat clothes had been blown away.

"What kind of monster... has this guy turned into?"

Su Zhiwei and Lou Yu had fought all the way from the sky above the Tianshu Domain down to the Gray World. It was unknown how many Calamities the aftershocks of their battle had obliterated, and they had even blasted this patch of earth into a state of utter devastation. If it weren't for the sunlight occasionally flashing in the sky, someone would probably think they were standing on the surface of the moon.

By all rights, Su Zhiwei should have been able to absolutely suppress Lou Yu. But the latter was near immortal and imperishable. The explosions generated by his two consecutive deaths even exceeded the intensity of all weapons of mass destruction in human history. Even Su Zhiwei couldn't completely digest it, and was injured by the blast's aftershocks.

Just as Su Zhiwei was panting forcefully, a smear of red surfaced from the earth beneath her feet...

The range of that red was extremely large, covering the ground within a radius of three kilometers, as well as several dilapidated mountain peaks. But if someone looked down from a high altitude, they would discover that a total of six massive patches of red like this had surfaced on the ground.

The hexagonal red imprints were like the brands of the Earth, covering countless crevices and mountain peaks. Su Zhiwei's figure set against them was as insignificant as an ant.

"I said it... You can't kill me."

Lou Yu's voice sounded like earth rumbling as it rang out from beneath Su Zhiwei's feet. The next moment, an incomparably massive human face was sketched out from the Gray World earth. Terrifying eyeballs shifted, locking onto Su Zhiwei who was standing on the tip of the nose...

Su Zhiwei's heart shook. Without hesitation, she flew into the clouds. A giant slowly crawled out from the Gray World. Its six palms each transformed into six giant nuclear reactors, slapping toward Su Zhiwei in the sky!

Dazzling scorching suns successively exploded from the distant sky. Seeing this scene, the hearts of the residents of the Tianshu Domain pounded wildly...

They watched helplessly as Su Zhiwei's figure was swallowed in the explosion, and then forcefully carved a bloody path out of the waves of fire. A white outfit fluttered in the air. As she let out an angry roar, the monstrous blazing flames changed frequency between her palms, like a scorching Holy Sword pulled out from the firmament. Slicing open the Gray World firmament, it whistled and chopped toward the giant's face!

Boom——!!!

The scorching Holy Sword directly chopped Lou Yu's giant body in half, and also evaporated all matter within a radius of several miles. An unprecedented light burned in Su Zhiwei's pupils, as if she had already pushed her power to the absolute extreme!

This strike could be called world-destroying. Su Zhiwei once again completely annihilated Lou Yu's physical body, and even created a vacuum area with absolutely no matter existing in the surroundings...

Su Zhiwei panted tiredly, bean-sized beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks. She looked at the completely empty nothingness below, her eyes full of bloodshot veins.

But the next moment,

A nightmare-like hexagonal marking silently sketched itself out on the cloud layer above her head...

Seeing this scene, Su Zhiwei's expression instantly became incomparably ugly. She tightly clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently.

This guy... really can't die??!

"Having fought for so long, you should also understand by now. Fighting with me has no meaning at all." Lou Yu's figure walked out from the water vapor of the cloud layer.

"Let's end it here... I should be leaving."

Lou Yu didn't have the intention to continue fighting Su Zhiwei. He just calmly turned around, stepping on the clouds and mist, and walked toward the distance...

This time, Su Zhiwei didn't step forward to block him... It wasn't that she was afraid, but rather that the consecutive battles had already drained her power to a critical point. Even if she fought with Lou Yu again, it was impossible to make him stay, let alone kill him.

The loose Black Alchemical Robes gradually receded on the cloud layer. Just as Lou Yu was about to leave the Tianshu Domain far behind, the surrounding heavenly light suddenly dimmed.

Lou Yu froze. He subconsciously raised his head to look, only to find that unbeknownst to when, the azure blue sky had disappeared. In its place, was a magnificent starry sky filled with starlight...

"That's..."

Seeing this scene, Su Zhiwei seemed to think of something, her pupils contracting slightly.

"Su Zhiwei, temporarily hold down the fort in the Tianshu Domain for me." Amidst the sky full of starlight, a magnificent voice that seemed to come from beyond the world rang out calmly.

"Leave this place... to me."
