Chapter 871: Food (1/2)

The only way to prod Lu Yun into continuously releasing his strength was through battle! Hence, neither Hebo nor Wahuang paid a visit to the conflict zone. There was only Lu Yun and his own power.

His boxing method of the five elements nurtured and countered each other, repeating in a continuous cycle to unleash enormous might.

In the beginning, Lu Yun was fully suppressed by the two demon gods and suffered great injuries because of it. Blood drenched his body and Huashe even ripped off one of his arms. It was only due to hellfire that the two demon gods didn’t dare close in for the kill.

However, his body of the world could absorb the energy of the land and thus restored his arm in short order.

As time went on, Lu Yun discovered that the great dao of the land was becoming more agreeable to his body. His blows were growing stronger, and it seemed that the trajectory of his every move and technique increasingly fit in more with this world.

The two demon gods that’d previously been firmly superior to the human noted these changes with growing horror.

“What’s going on?! He’s slowly getting stronger. If this continues, we won’t be his match for long!” Fuzhu and Huashe were frightened out of their wits.

The human boy was now firmly on their level and in fact, beginning to gain the upper hand! Minor changes were also somehow developing in their own strength, as if they were being weakened!

Indeed, as the heavenly dao changed, so would the connate demon gods born under the primitive great dao naturally be sapped of their strength.

Lu Yun had withdrawn hellfire by now and immersed himself in the vast heavenly dao. He breathed with the rhythm of all living beings, and for this moment, felt like he’d become one with the land.

“If there isn’t a part of this world in the flower, how can it exist upon this earth?” Lu Yun suddenly recalled what Hongjun had said to him before.

If there isn’t a part of this world in my body, then how would I exist upon this earth? The world is me, and I am the world.

Hummm.

Spontaneous enlightenment struck Lu Yun and his strength underwent a drastic change, reaching unfathomable heights. He suddenly struck out, grabbed Huashe’s neck, and twisted the snake’s head off.

Puff!

A simple palm strike rendered the snake’s corpse into ash.

“Mercy!!” An ashen Fuzhu hit the ground with both knees and pleaded for mercy.

All of heaven and earth fell silent, and the connate demon gods observing the battle were overawed. Two of their kind had gone hunting a human, but Huashe had been dusted into oblivion and Fuzhu was on his knees, begging for his life!

Lu Yun ignored Fuzhu and squeezed Huashe’s head, popping it like an orange so that a murky pearl fell into his hands.

“It’s the Pelagic Orb.” Lu Yun blinked. This would be Situ Zong’s most prized possession, a treasure that would eventually become his body. Situ Zong was one of his most valuable Infernum in the future.

“In that case…” A sudden thought occurred to him and he transferred the strength he’d used to kill Huashe into the pearl. He then flung the treasure into the northern reaches of the great wilderness with every iota of his strength.

“Sign a blood contract and become my steed. Otherwise, I’ll roast you and serve you to the human Yan Tribe. Choose.” Lu Yun looked coldly at Fuzhu.
