"Ma Li, I didn't expect you to still be so arrogant." Gu Yu said immediately after hearing Ma Li's words.
But then he suddenly realized something, "Fragments, what fragments are you talking about?"
Gu Yu was unaware that Ma Li also possessed a fragment of the Source Heart, but Ma Li's words just now clearly indicated that he knew about it.
"What fragments?" Ma Li looked at Gu Yu. "I think you don't need to pretend anymore. Haven't you noticed? When you fight me, you can't use the triple amplification?"
"Huh?" Gu Yu was startled awake by Ma Li's words. Yes, this situation had indeed happened several times, each time during his battle with Ma Li.
He had always thought it was a coincidence and hadn't bothered to investigate why. But now that Ma Li had said it, Gu Yu looked at Ma Li with a sudden sense of shock. "You mean you also have fragments inside you?"
“Since you’re about to die, I’ll tell you. Both Lu Yao and I have fragments inside us. The fragment in my body should be the same as yours, with a three-fold amplification. As for the fragment in Lu Yao’s body, I don’t know,” Ma Li said.
"Both Lu Yao and you have them?" Gu Yu was somewhat surprised. He knew that there were other fragments of the Source Heart, but what he didn't know was that Ma Li and Lu Yao each had one. It seemed to be fate.
"Gu Yu, hand over your fragments," Ma Li said, looking at Gu Yu.
“Ma Li, since you know about the fragment, you should also know that I can’t produce it at all,” Gu Yu said, looking at Ma Li.
“It seems I have no choice but to kill you.” Ma Li’s pupils contracted. Of course he knew this. The fragments in his body and Lu Yao’s body could not be retrieved at all. Even the Demon Dragon Emperor could not touch them.
The only possible way to obtain it is through death, when the fragment will automatically surface.
A pitch-black domain instantly appeared, enveloping Gu Yu within it.
"Well? Have you ever heard the saying, 'Below the true god, all are ants; within the domain, all are mayflies'?" Ma Li said. At this moment, in his eyes, Gu Yu was just a King Realm cultivator, utterly vulnerable.
He could almost see Gu Yu trembling under the suppression of his domain.
But the next second, something shocking happened. A terrifying power suddenly emanated from Gu Yu's body, and a source armor slowly appeared on his body.
"Ma Li, I am truly surprised that you have grown to the peak of the Heavenly King realm. Unfortunately, the peak of the Heavenly King realm cannot kill me," Gu Yu said calmly, looking at Ma Li.
"The power of gods and demons?" The Demon Dragon Emperor exclaimed in surprise upon sensing the power emanating from Gu Yu.
"What is the power of gods and demons?" Ma Li asked the Demon Dragon Emperor, clearly not knowing.
"I'll tell you later. Take him down first," said the Demon Dragon Emperor.
“Okay.” Ma Li replied, and then nine black dragons formed from demonic energy swept towards Gu Yu.
Gu Yu swung his wooden sword, unleashing nine strikes in an instant, nine sword energies heading towards the black dragon.
Boom boom boom...
"Peak of the Heavenly King realm?" Ma Li's pupils constricted as Gu Yu blocked Ma Li's nine black dragons.
How could Gu Yu be so strong? Why is it that every time I become stronger, I encounter him and think that things will be easy, but in the end, he becomes about as strong as I am?
This Gu Yu must be his nemesis sent by heaven; he absolutely cannot let Gu Yu live any longer.
"Heavenly Demonic Technique, Myriad Dragons United as One." As Ma Li thought of this, countless demonic energies immediately emanated from his body, which instantly transformed into countless demonic dragons, which then rapidly merged together.
Gu Yu looked at Ma Li, and a sense of desolation immediately filled his body, as if heaven and earth were mourning.
The two forces collided instantly, and Ma Li's domain trembled. The domain shattered in the next second, and Gu Yu and Ma Li were sent flying backward.
Both men who were sent flying backward coughed up blood, clearly indicating that the clash was evenly matched and both were seriously injured.
"You must die." After regaining his footing, Ma Li suddenly produced a large sword in his hand and charged towards Gu Yu.
Gu Yu, wielding a wooden sword, faced Ma Li. Neither of them were in good condition at the moment, but they were still very powerful.
Gu Yu was already quite weak due to the side effects of the Heaven and Earth's Sorrow, but because of the Source Armor, he still had the ability to fight.
Boom boom boom...
The two immediately clashed, their blades swirling in the air. The space itself shattered under the impact of the energy ripples. If it weren't for the Qiankun God-Slaying Array, Mo City would probably have been destroyed by their battle.
"Extinction Cross Slash!" Gu Yu's figure instantly transformed into countless afterimages as he attacked Ma Li.
At this moment, Ma Li's face was extremely ugly. He originally had a super powerful trump card, a three-fold increase in power.
With his peak Heavenly King cultivation, relying on the triple amplification, even if it wasn't long, he could still fight against a peak Great Emperor. However, unfortunately, when he encountered Gu Yu, his ultimate move became ineffective.
At this moment, Gu Yu, who was wearing the Source Armor, was clearly in a superior position, which made him very uncomfortable. If this continued, he would have to escape again, but this time he didn't want to escape.
"Dragon Emperor, I need your help," Ma Li said to the Dragon Emperor.
"No, my strength is not as great as yours." The Demon Dragon Emperor directly rejected Ma Li, because this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
Boom boom boom...
Gu Yu's attack was fierce and powerful, causing Ma Li to retreat steadily and cough up mouthfuls of blood.
"Ah..." As Ma Li was being repelled by Gu Yu, he suddenly roared, and a monstrous demonic aura emanated from his body, transforming into countless demonic dragons that instantly pushed Gu Yu back tens of thousands of meters.
puff…………
As Gu Yu was knocked away, Ma Li immediately spat out another mouthful of blood.
He was somewhat unwilling, but at this moment he had no choice but to flee.
Swoosh...
Ma Li vanished in an instant. Gu Yu watched Ma Li escape and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly becoming refreshed.
In the desert city, two figures suddenly flew out, supporting Gu Yu on either side. They were Bai Long and Long Aotian.
"He got away again," Gu Yu said, equally unwilling.
"This person has grown to such a level; it's a pity he's an enemy," Bai Long said with some regret.
The current situation for humanity is not optimistic. Is the Water Kirin clan truly protecting humanity? She doesn't think so, and this feeling of being protected by other races makes her very uneasy.
And Ma Li, in terms of both age and talent, is no less than Gu Yu. If the two of them can make peace and protect the human race, it will be a great blessing for the human race.
Meanwhile, Ma Li escaped to a remote place, trembling all over, clearly his injuries were extremely serious.
At that moment, Lu Yao appeared beside him and helped him up.
Cough cough...
Ma Li coughed violently. He wanted to sit cross-legged to recover from his injuries, but the next second, a dagger pierced straight into his chest, which made him freeze in shock.
“You…” Ma Li looked at Lu Yao in disbelief.
“Ma Li, I have been waiting for this day for a long time.” Lu Yao looked at Ma Li and said calmly.
boom…………
The next second, Ma Li suddenly unleashed a palm strike, hitting Lu Yao in the chest. Lu Yao was sent flying backward, spitting out blood and fainting.
"You think I wasn't wary of you? You bitch!" Ma Li said angrily, looking at the unconscious Lu Yao.
He staggered toward Lu Yao, but the next second, his body froze.
Lu Yao's stab to his heart failed to injure him because he was on guard, but at that moment a figure appeared, grabbed the hilt of a knife, and plunged it directly into Ma Li's heart.
"you…………"
"I helped you cultivate the body of a demonic dragon, but not for your sake, but for my own." The figure was none other than the Demonic Dragon Emperor.
"For yourself?" Ma Li looked at the Demon Dragon Emperor in disbelief. At first, he also thought that the Demon Dragon Emperor would possess him, but as time went by, he found that the Demon Dragon Emperor had many opportunities to possess him but did not take them. This made him completely trust the Demon Dragon Emperor.
"I have no body, but your body is perfect for me. I originally planned to possess you when your Demonic Dragon Body was fully formed, but to my surprise, because of that fragment, I was unable to possess you," the Demonic Dragon Emperor said calmly. "So I came up with a plan: to kill you, leave the fragment ownerless, and then possess you. But with your Demonic Dragon Body fully formed, you already possess the cultivation of a peak Heavenly King, and I simply cannot kill you. This makes me very uncomfortable. However, opportunities are plentiful, I just didn't expect them to come so soon."
“You…” Ma Li looked at the Demon Dragon Emperor, his hand gathering energy, wanting to perish together with the Demon Dragon Emperor. But the next second, countless black streams of light emanated from the Demon Dragon Emperor’s body, flowing along the dagger and into Ma Li’s heart. Ma Li convulsed, and his life force rapidly dissipated.
In just a few breaths, Ma Li died and became a corpse.
Sure enough, the fragment flew out immediately after his death.
The Demon Dragon Emperor ignored the fragments; his immediate priority was to seize Ma Li's body, otherwise it would be too late once Ma Li's body cooled down.
It instantly entered Ma Li's body, and Ma Li's corpse was immediately filled with black light.
The life force that had been fading gradually returned, and "I have finally regained my body."
However, what it didn't notice was that the fragment it ignored flew towards Lu Yao and instantly merged into her body. The unconscious Lu Yao immediately opened her eyes, and a terrifying power emanated from her body.
This startled the Demon Dragon Emperor, who had just possessed Ma Li's body, and his gaze immediately turned to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was acting strangely at this moment. One of her eyes was black and the other was white, and two different powers were also emanating from her body.
The black one represents the source of demonic power, while the white one is a strange power that is actually converting the source of demonic power.
As the power transformed, Lu Yao gradually returned to normal, and at this moment her cultivation level had reached the peak of the Heavenly King realm, which made even the Demon Dragon Emperor somewhat unable to believe his eyes.
"Where is the Demon Dragon's body?" The Demon Dragon Emperor suddenly realized something. The original Demon Dragon body of Ma Li, which he had just possessed, was gone. Its gaze toward Lu Yao became increasingly fearful. The Demon Dragon's body had actually moved into Lu Yao's body. This was truly unbelievable.
"What kind of monster are you?" the Demon Dragon Emperor asked Lu Yao in horror.
“I’m not a monster,” Lu Yao said. “Speaking of which, I should thank you. Without you, Ma Li wouldn’t have improved so quickly, and I would have had to wait a very long time to become stronger.”
"Huh?" The Demon Dragon Emperor did not understand Lu Yao's words.
"Do you know what my fragment ability is?" Lu Yao asked the Demon Dragon Emperor.
"What is it?" Upon hearing Lu Yao's question, the Demon Dragon Emperor suddenly realized something.
“His is a triple boost, while mine is a transfer. As long as I harmonize Yin and Yang with him, his cultivation will be transferred to me after his death,” Lu Yao said calmly, looking at the Demon Dragon Emperor.
"How is this possible?" The Demon Dragon Emperor's pupils dilated in shock.
“I don’t like him. In his eyes, I am a tool. If it weren’t for the unique ability of my fragments that makes people who possess fragments unable to harm me, he would have killed me and taken the fragments long ago. But in my eyes, he is also a tool. Every time I see him become powerful, I get more excited than he does, hahaha…” Demonic flames flickered in Lu Yao’s eyes.
"I've finally waited for this day, but unfortunately he's not strong enough to become an emperor, however..."
Lu Yao's gaze fell upon the Demon Dragon Emperor, which made even this once-powerful Demon Emperor feel a chill run down his spine.
They feel no fear or apprehension when killing others, but they are different when they are killed themselves.
“You are the Great Emperor, and now you have taken over Ma Li’s body. Hehe… This seems to be an opportunity given to me by the heavens. If I kill you, your power will also be transferred to me, and then I can strive to become a Great Emperor.” Lu Yao said to the Demon Dragon Great Emperor.
"You want to kill me? Not so easy!" The Demon Dragon Emperor gritted his teeth, and a monstrous demonic aura swept out. "Even if I haven't reached the level of a Great Emperor, I am still far beyond what a Heavenly King like you can kill."
"Really?" Lu Yao glanced at the Demon Dragon Emperor with a hint of mockery. "Have you overlooked something?"
Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, the Demon Dragon Emperor's expression immediately turned extremely ugly. With Lu Yao's current cultivation level, she indeed couldn't kill it. However, Lu Yao now possessed a fragment of Ma Li, whose power was amplified threefold.
The triple amplification couldn't be used against Gu Yu, but it could be used against this other being.
"You can't kill me, I have a way to make you even stronger." The Dragon Emperor panicked.
But the next second, Lu Yao's aura suddenly increased exponentially, and her aura became extremely terrifying, seemingly even stronger than that of a peak Great Emperor.
boom…………
With a slight movement of her hand, the Demon Dragon Emperor was instantly crushed to death.
"Damn it, the triple amplification can only be used for three seconds!" Lu Yao frowned; three seconds was only enough for her to unleash one attack.
He looked at Ma Li's corpse, a hint of resentment appearing in his eyes. "Ma Li, the first time you got my body, I swore to completely annihilate your filthy body."
As Lu Yao followed, Ma Li's corpse burst into flames, leaving not even ashes behind.
Lu Yao's aura was rising, and in the next second it instantly reached the level of an Emperor.
With a swift movement, she transformed into a demonic dragon, radiating boundless demonic power.
"Gu Yu, you have quite a few secrets! If I can uncover them, I will become even stronger," Lu Yao murmured to herself, before her figure vanished in an instant.
Neither Ma Li nor the Demon Dragon Emperor ever imagined that one day they would become someone else's wedding dress, and all of this was because they underestimated Lu Yao and this woman.
Actually, women are the most terrifying. When they are obedient, they are as gentle as lambs. When they are angry, they are like a raging storm. When it comes to scheming, they are far superior to men.
Above the desert city, which had just calmed down, a terrifying demonic aura suddenly erupted once more.
This caused everyone in Mocheng to freeze in shock again. How could this happen one after another? Most importantly, Gu Yu had just been injured and had not yet recovered.
First, a demonic dragon appeared. The enormous dragon exuded boundless demonic power. Even those protected by the Qiankun God-Slaying Array felt uneasy, as if the end of the world was about to come.
Gu Yu also looked at the demonic dragon in the sky. He could sense that the demonic dragon in front of him was much more powerful than Ma Li.
Even if he hadn't been injured, he would still be no match for the dragon.
"Gu Yu, I told you, you'd regret this." The next second, the demonic dragon transformed into a woman, who then looked directly at Gu Yu.
"Lu Yao?" Upon seeing Lu Yao, Gu Yu was utterly shocked. Ma Li had already given him quite a shock, but it was far less than the shock Lu Yao had given him. How could she be so powerful?
"Gu Yu, you didn't expect this, did you? You've got to be this powerful, haven't you!" Lu Yao said, looking at Gu Yu.
"I really didn't expect that," Gu Yu replied.
"I have to thank you for all of this," Lu Yao said, looking at Gu Yu.
"Thank me?" Gu Yu frowned.
“Hehe…” Lu Yao looked at Gu Yu, “If you hadn’t injured Ma Li, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”
"Are you practicing an evil art?" This was Gu Yu's first reaction. But does such an evil art exist in this world? Even the Heavenly Demon Art wouldn't work. When it comes to devouring cultivation, one cannot devour too much power, or it will backfire and cause the body to explode.
“Hehe…” Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Lu Yao smiled mockingly, “Evil arts? I don’t need to cultivate any evil arts. Gu Yu, actually, there was a time when I fantasized about whether I should be with you, but you were really too awful back then.”
"Lu Yao, I've said it before, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, so don't bring up those useless things from the past," Gu Yu said immediately when he heard Lu Yao mention the past.
