"Oh?"
The giant Rakshasa god, towering like a mountain of iron, cast a cruel gaze.
Clad in Asura God Attire, he radiated a powerful aura.
With two huge Demon Scythes on his back, they gleamed with a sharp light.
"Unleashing all the seals and summoning my divine armor, what can you possibly have to fight me with?"
At that moment, the Sea God's Trident, protecting Bi Bidong and the others below, let out a mournful wail and began to shake.
For the presence of the Rakshasa god was too terrifying.
It made the golden shield it emitted compress greatly.
"Brother Yu won't be in trouble, right?" Hulena said, concerned.
"How could this be? This guy actually has a way to significantly increase his strength?" Tang Chen said, his face showing terror, his body trembling nonstop.
Bi Bidong's eyes became slightly vacant, her fists clenched tightly.
"As expected, this guy still had a card up his sleeve."
Bossi spoke calmly, "Everyone, don't panic yet. Brother Yu doesn't seem flustered at the moment. He must have some sort of backup plan."
Tang Chen looked over, his expression bitter.
"What kind of backup plan could match this state of the Rakshasa god? It's really too terrifying."
"Shut up." Bossi's eyes narrowed, and she glared over as she scolded sharply.
Tang Chen could no longer afford to be upset; his gaze remained fixed on the Nine-colored Divine Dragon in the sky.
This was his last hope for life.
At this moment, Luo Yu let out a cold laugh.
"Rakshasa old dog."
"Don't be so confident."
"Soon, you won't even have the chance to cry."
The Rakshasa god laughed loudly:
"Utterly ridiculous."
He reached out with a massive hand, and the sky rumbled, the ground within a thousand meters trembling at the same time.
The hand covered the blood moon high in the sky, reaching out to grab Luo Yu in an eclipse-like fashion.
Luo Yu, maneuvering through the Dragon God's evasions, still found himself unable to escape Five Fingers Mountain.
The giant hand closed its fingers, capturing Luo Yu within.
A massive thud resounded.
The Rakshasa god's disdainful laughter echoed for miles.
"Hahahaha!"
"Is this all?"
"Overconfident mortal child, I thought you could entertain me a bit."
"How disappointing."
Seeing Luo Yu firmly grasped in the giant's hand, everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Bi Bidong's face turned pale.
Bossi's lips trembled.
Hulena covered her mouth tightly.
Tang Chen swayed, saying in despair, "It's over, it's all over now."
"I knew it."
"It's impossible to win, we will not win."
"How could mortals possibly defeat the heavens?"
"Shut up, Brother Yu won't lose!" Hulena shouted.
Ignoring the difference in strength between her and Tang Chen, she glared at him angrily.
Tang Chen covered his head.
"I don't want him to lose either."
"But the reality is right before us."
"It's over, we're all done for, we're all going to die."
"No, it's not like that, Brother Yu will definitely be okay," Hulena said, her face deathly pale, but still shaking her head repeatedly.
A sense of despair spread among the people, while the Rakshasa god's arrogant, wild laughter troubled the air.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion suddenly erupted between heaven and earth.
"Hmm?"
Everyone instantly fixed their eyes on the palm of the Rakshasa god.
That was the direction from which the sound originated.
The Rakshasa god's smile froze because he felt a different kind of power emanating from the center of his palm.
"Ao!"
First there was a dragon's chant, followed by a series of sounds like gold and iron clashing.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
Colorful, bright lights burst forth.
The elemental powers surrounding it surged like a tidal wave, crazily rushing into the palm of the Rakshasa god.
"This isn't good."
"This kid still has the strength to resist?"
The Rakshasa God furrowed his brow in shock, never having expected this fellow to have a trick up his sleeve.
He swung his other hand over in a backhanded slap.
Both hands clenched together.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The explosive heartbeat sounded like the beating of drums that filled the heavens and earth.
Despair faded from the faces of Bi Bidong and the others, replaced by joy.
Hulena said, "Brother Yu is okay, Brother Yu still has a move left!"
Tang Chen's mouth hung open, still another move?
Damn, is this kid even human?
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the Rakshasa God screamed as his huge hands burst apart.
They exploded into a sky full of blood mist.
A figure shot out from within the blood mist, flickering with seven-colored radiance.
The Martial Soul True Body that had taken the shape of a giant dragon disappeared, replaced by a figure clad in armor as lustrous as glazed crystal.
The armor was crystal clear, gleaming brilliantly, with seven kinds of luster intermingling.
It exuded an aura far superior to the Asura God Attire, and its magnificence knows no bounds.
The previously incomplete head armor had now been filled in.
However, it looked somewhat thin, with its thickness half that of other parts.
That was because Luo Yu had yet to obtain the Spatial Dragon King Soul Bone.
He had not managed to collect a complete set of head soul bones.
"Rumble!"
Luo Yu merely stood there, his aura alone enough to warp the space around him.
With every movement, the power of seven attributes swirled around him, giving off the impression that he could shatter heavens and obliterate Earth.
"What... what kind of technique is this?"
"Divine Armament?"
"No, you haven't acquired any deity's legacy, how could you possibly have a Divine Armament?"
Disregarding his shattered hands, the Rakshasa God looked up at Luo Yu in the air, utterly shocked.
He could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes.
He hadn't expected that, even after releasing the eight seals and with the enhancement of the Rakshasa God Attire, the kid could still escape from certain death.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Luo Yu's mouth, his eyes revealing a chilling light.
"How about it."
"Surprised, or not?"
The crowd below was stunned, for they could feel that Luo Yu's momentum was in no way inferior to the Rakshasa God's.
Qian Daoliu stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.
His heart was in turmoil.
Remembering how he had boasted about the Hao Tian Clan's secret techniques in front of Luo Yu, his toes curled in embarrassment.
He swore he would never boast again in this lifetime.
Too shameful.
The Rakshasa God looked at his formidable opponent.
He lowered his gaze and glanced at his shattered hands.
His wrists were a bloody, empty mess.
His narrow eyes slightly squinted.
"Young man, how about I give you a chance?"
"Let's end this battle now, and that will be it for today."
"Your strength has gained my recognition, and you are fit to speak to me on equal terms."
Luo Yu chuckled.
The Rakshasa God relaxed a little, about to say more.
"To stand on an equal footing with me," Luo Yu said, "do you think you qualify?"
The smile that had just appeared on the Rakshasa God's face instantly froze, and his expression turned grim.
"Crash!"
Malignant energy surged from his body.
Amid the billowing black qi, countless flesh buds sprang from his wrists, and his hands rapidly regenerated.
"Kid, don't reject the kindness of being offered a drink, or you'll be forced to drink a penalty."
"I could kill you if I really wanted, but I need to preserve a useful body for a great matter."
"I don't want to waste too much effort on you."
"If you know what's good for you and cease the battle, I can cooperate with you," he proposed.
"Oh?"
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
The Rakshasa God himself was a Level One Deity who had surreptitiously descended to the mortal realm, preparing so carefully to create a physical body. His ultimate purpose was indeed worth pondering.
"First, tell me your purpose in the mortal world," Luo Yu said.
The Rakshasa God hesitated.
He was considering whether to cooperate to accomplish the grand scheme he had planned for ten thousand years or to clash with this youngster to the end.
