Lu Yu raised his head to look at the descending giant palm and shouted loudly, transforming into a silver streak of light soaring into the sky.
The boundary of black and silver divided the world in two.
A silver streak of light broke through the boundary, bringing light into the dark world, illuminating it.
Lu Yu stared directly at the true form of the demon, transforming his body into a blade, merging with it, a blade light capable of slicing stars cut the darkness in half.
A slash powerful enough to sever stars only left a silver line on the demon's true form.
Soon, the silver line on the true form disappeared, and the hole pierced by Lu Yu's attack on the palm vanished as well.
It truly was: a fierce display of skills, and yet the results were lackluster.
Lu Yu's attack seemed extremely fierce, but it did not cause substantial damage to the demon's true form in the Demonic Realm.
During the previous attack, Lu Yu used tens of thousands of Heaven and Earth Laws, some meant to suppress recovery, but his understanding was too shallow to impact the Demonic Realm, rendering the effect negligible.
In the brief pause of Lu Yu's attack, the true form unleashed an all-encompassing shockwave, even though Lu Yu tried his best to dodge, he was still hit.
A small celestial body a hundred thousand miles from their battlefield was affected by the shockwave from the true form, the wave swept over the moon-sized celestial body, shattering it into pieces.
Lu Yu was knocked back several hundred miles before steadying himself, cracks covered his body, and the silver robe made from the star river was torn.
Under his own power, his injuries quickly healed, and the star river robe returned to its original state in an instant.
Boom~ starlight burst, Lu Yu transformed into a streak of light, crossing hundreds of miles, slashing through the void to sever the true form.
The wounds on the true form quickly vanished, as if an illusion, with the severed part returning to normal in the blink of an eye.
The demon countered with a palm that shattered a piece of heaven and earth, leaving Lu Yu with more cracks.
The cracks quickly vanished, and Lu Yu once again turned into a blade light, moving through the true form...
This was an exceptionally tough war of attrition.
The recovery ability of the demon in Demonic Realm was extremely strong, even able to draw strength from the void; Lu Yu had to continuously cause notable damage to sap its power.
Any slowdown in his assault could render his previous efforts futile.
Lu Yu dared not relax his mind for a moment, each attack was unleashed with full force.
With each burst, the stars within him resonated, continuously pouring out power to generate greater strength.
With each clash against the demon's true form, Lu Yu's understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws deepened continuously.
Actual combat has always been the fastest way to enhance one's strength.
The battle dragged on without knowing how long, the center of the fight left space shattered, storms raged everywhere.
An ordinary Martial Cultivator of the Kongming Realm would be obliterated in moments if caught within.
Lu Yu's wounds healed, as he launched another attack on the demon in Demonic Realm, a shock echoed in his mind, suddenly comprehending many previously unknown key points, his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws soared rapidly.
The number of star cells in his body quickly surpassed a hundred thousand, and it continued to grow.
The dark and lightless void seemed to brighten, Lu Yu saw endless starry skies, gazing upon the stellar sea.
Countless starlight converged here, naturally, the Divine Body appeared in the void.
This was a true Divine Body, not a body constructed by Lu Yu using spiritual power, in a certain sense, the Divine Body was equivalent to the true form.
The nature of both was similar yet different.
Lu Yu saw himself become as towering as the true form, joy filled his heart, understanding that his strength had advanced further.
The demon in Demonic Realm saw the Divine Body appearing before it, with a restless mind, it could see that this was not the true form.
But from the perspective of power, the Divine Body was already approaching the true form.
This meant that Lu Yu had attained power on par with the Demonic Realm.
It also meant Lu Yu had broken through the chasm between the Kongming Realm and the Demonic Realm.
This was a terrifying occurrence, as the chasm between the Demonic Realm and the Kongming Realm has always been considered impossible to cross in everyone's memory.
Yet, Lu Yu with the power of the Kongming Realm, created the Divine Body, breaking through the ancient chasm.
This advanced the combat power of human Martial Cultivators further, which was very bad news for demons.
Even though prowess in the Demonic Realm wasn't the sole deciding factor of victory, it could influence the course of battle.
Lu Yu controlled the Divine Body to attack the demon in Demonic Realm, delivering a punch, causing large cracks on the true form, this time the true form did not recover from the damage.
Seeing this change, Lu Yu felt a surge of joy, and with a thought, he pressed the advantage.
Boom boom boom~ The Divine Body collided with the true form, unleashing divine light everywhere, space rifts extended to tens of thousands of miles away.
Rumble rumble rumble~ As they fought, time and space shattered, heaven and earth collapsed, the void vanished...
Lu Yu punched the head of the true form into oblivion, while the true form's palm pierced through the chest of the Divine Body, each collision exploded with copious spiritual light.
As both sides continued to deplete their powers, the true form of the demon in Demonic Realm was the first to be unsustainable, collapsing completely.
After the collapse of the true form, the Divine Body also dissipated into pervasive starlight.
The demon's figure appeared from the dissipated demonic qi after the true form's collapse, and Lu Yu emerged from the vast star-filled void.
"You are a matchless genius among humans, so you must die here!" the demon spoke.
After saying this, Lu Yu felt the entire world spinning, and when he turned to look around again, he realized he was no longer in the void, but had entered a world of flowing lava.
The sky was covered by volcanic ashes, with not a single ray of light in sight; the only illumination in this world came from the firelight emitting from the crisscrossing trenches on the land.
Lu Yu felt an incredibly terrifying pressure surrounding him, pressing his senses back into his body, unable to project spiritual power outward.
He attempted to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Laws, only to find the laws here were utterly unfamiliar, beyond comprehension.
Here, Lu Yu couldn't mobilize any power of the world, nor receive astral reinforcement.
This world fully suppressed Lu Yu's power.
Boom~ Lu Yu clenched his fist, the air in his palm burst open, the heaviness on his face eased a little, "At least my physical strength hasn't been suppressed."
Unable to mobilize the power of the world, Lu Yu could only rely on his own strength.
Drawing from the purest physical strength.
Whoosh~ In the distance, a volcano erupted with massive amounts of lava, condensed as if under pressure, shooting toward Lu Yu like a high-pressure water jet in a straight line.
Lu Yu maneuvered through space, dodging, as the ground spewed dozens of lava pillars, continuously compressing his movement space.
Eventually, Lu Yu had no choice but to endure the heavy pressure of the lava spray.
Sizzle~ As the high-pressure lava came into contact with Lu Yu's body, white smoke billowed out.
"A bit hot," was Lu Yu's current sensation.
The magma in this world was no ordinary magma, effortlessly melting gold and jade; a Martial Cultivator of the Kongming Realm would dissolve in it within moments.
Even a Martial Cultivator in the Demonic Realm couldn't linger long in the lava without the power of the world at their disposal.
The lava here was born from Heaven and Earth Laws, each injury inflicted equated to suffering a law attack embodied in lava.
Fortunately, Lu Yu inherited the power of the Ice and Fire Demon God, granting him high resistance to flames.
If it were any other force, under circumstances with no available external aid, Lu Yu's situation would be dire, but here, Lu Yu seemed to be in his element.
Boom! Lu Yu punched apart the lava pillar that had thrust him away, the high-pressure lava pillar was broken off, yet rapidly extended anew.
Seizing the moment, Lu Yu stepped out, treading on the lava pillar, racing toward the crater.
During the run, the lava pillar continuously splattered sparks potent enough to penetrate a Martial Cultivator of the Kongming Realm.
Yet these sparks could not even singe Lu Yu's hair.
