Rumble~ The earth trembled, the Divine Body of the Star River towering at ten thousand feet high felt the tremor not very obvious, but for those demons on the ground, the vibration was exceptionally intense.
It could even send their bodies bouncing over ten meters high.
If this were the real world, this place would have already turned from a plateau into a deep sea.
But this isn't the real world, just the body of a super demon.
The ten-thousand-foot demon was knocked down by Lu Yu, lying on the ground, its body broken and its power dissipating.
Yet it didn't die, or rather, this was not its true form at all.
The Star River Divine Body, which Lu Yu transformed into, stomped on the enormous body, the actual form lay beneath his feet.
The true form of the ten-thousand-foot demon is this super demon.
By now, Lu Yu roughly understood why the super demon grew so large, because it devoured its small world.
In other words, it fused with the small world, this body is the small world, and the small world is the super demon.
As for the purpose, it was simple, to create a super fortress, or rather, a demon lair.
A swarm of low- and mid-tier demons ant-like climbed onto the Star River Divine Body, seemingly trying to tear apart Lu Yu's Divine Body, and damage the Star River Divine Body.
The power of demons is quite peculiar, though the low- and mid-tier demons are incredibly weak, their energy can still damage the Star River Divine Body.
Calling it damage is a bit exaggerated, a more accurate term would be influence.
The demonic aura can affect the Star River Divine Body, if left unchecked, it might eventually let low- and mid-tier demons engulf the Star River Divine Body, lasting for millennia.
The exterior of the Star River Divine Body might become demonized, while the interior would be sealed by its own power, making it difficult for demonic aura to infiltrate.
Lu Yu's mind stirred, and the Star River Divine Body burst with light, the demons illuminated by the light quickly dissolved and vanished like shadows exposed to sunlight.
Bang bang bang~ Lu Yu left behind the powerless remnants of the ten-thousand-foot demon, heading towards the gap created by splitting the super demon in half.
In Lu Yu's eyes, his current position wasn't flat ground, but walking on a vertical wall.
Where he aimed to go was the "roof" that formed a ninety-degree angle with the wall.
Gurgle gurgle~ Above Lu Yu, the fusion world he created was dragging the huge body of the super demon into the small world.
Lu Yu was simply insane, he actually intended to devour this completely demonized small world.
One must realize that the volume of this small world is definitely not smaller than his fusion small world.
How many beings can swallow and digest prey of a similar size to their own?
Few.
And very dangerous.
Yet Lu Yu decided to do it exactly this way.
The reason is simple; he wants to absorb the core of the super demon to enhance his own power.
Delving deeper, it's that only by doing this would he be able to kill the super demon that has transformed itself into a small world.
The super demon struggled, resisting the fusion small world's devouring, while also trying to counter-devour Lu Yu's small world and demonize it.
The two powers were locked in a deadlock, likely unable to determine the victor in a short time.
Lu Yu didn't have the time to be in a deadlock with the super demon, he opted to directly strike at the core of the super demon.
Even though the demon's body had merged with the small world, it surely housed a core somewhere.
Just like a small world, the core of a small world is the source that forms the rules of the small world.
However, usually the source is hidden in the deepest part of the small world, unless the entire small world is perfectly analyzed, it is impossible to touch the source.
But once the entire small world is analyzed, there is no need for the small world's source, because it means Lu Yu has already fully mastered this small world.
Hence, this becomes a dead end loop.
To break a small world, one must start from the source, but without analyzing the complete small world, it's impossible to reach the source.
Unless you possess an item that is closely akin to the source of the small world.
Lu Yu managed to analyze the previous two small worlds โ the Lava Small World and the Time Small World โ because he owned the Nine Heavens and Earth and the Core of Space-Time, two source-level treasures.
This allowed him to directly access the source of the small world, thereby mastering the source of the small world and understanding its rules.
In the following dozen worlds, Lu Yu chose to analyze the small world first, and then integrate the source of the small world into his own.
Lu Yu could perform this relying on his formidable Soul Power, and his comprehension of numerous Heaven and Earth Laws, as he almost grasped all types of Heaven and Earth Laws.
For an ordinary Celestial Cycle level being, this process would be at least as difficult as comprehending a new path of cultivation from scratch without external interference.
Spending a considerable amount of time without any benefits.
Unless one has reached the end of the Celestial Cycle path with no way forward, no Celestial Cycle being would spend vast time analyzing new Heaven and Earth Laws or exploring a never-before-seen new path of cultivation.
Demons fused with small worlds primarily through merging with the source of the small world.
Since the super demon's small world source is merged with its own self, this source must be manifested in a physical form, or else it could not merge.
What Lu Yu needs to do is find those world sources in their physical form and then destroy or analyze them.
Achieving this amid a demon as large as a star, searching for an unknown form and unknown quantity of source entities is far tougher than finding a needle in a haystack.
After all, the sea is much smaller than a star, and you know the target is a needle.
What Lu Yu is fishing for now, he doesn't even know what it is; it may well be smaller than a needle.
If the entity formed by world source fusion is a cell, imagine the challenge of finding it.
If the formed entity is even smaller, the task becomes much harder.
Since Lu Yu hasn't analyzed this world, he naturally cannot know where the world source entity is formed, but he has his methods.
Expanding his Soul Power, he enveloped the entire super demon, sensing the energy flow within.
Instantly, in Lu Yu's mind, energy concentration points within the super demon appeared.
Although energy concentration points may not represent where world sources appear, the likelihood is undoubtedly higher.
Moreover, destroying energy nodes can weaken the super demon's power, breaking the deadlock between the fusion world and the super demon, creating a tactical advantage.
Once the small world swallows the super demon in, Lu Yu can utilize the small world's power to analyze the Heaven and Earth Laws embodied in the super demon, thereby locating the source entities on the super demon.
"This is the place."
Lu Yu stood on a high ground, looking down below where demons continuously surged from the valley, around him demons attempting to draw near were all obliterated by an overwhelming force.
The energy node below is a demon factory, continually producing low- and mid-tier demons.
Lu Yu raised his hand and unleashed a strike, a million stars appeared in the void, one star lit up, and a beam of light descended from heaven, striking directly into the demon lair.
Instantly, the valley turned into a deep pit, a bottomless pit.
The strike directly obliterated the demon lair within the valley, along with the energy node below it was blasted apart.
Bang! The energy node exploded, and the ground swelled.
With a thud, a large amount of earth, flesh, and demons spewed out from the pit, along with various substances came dense Demonic Qi.
Lu Yu looked up at the sky, the part where the fusion world and the super demon were locked in a struggle was suddenly devoured significantly, the super demon fell into passivity.
However, the situation quickly reversed, a patch of black appeared in the blue-green fusion world, immediately Lu Yu felt Spiritual Qi rapidly draining from the fusion world.
The leaking point was that black patch; the super demon was also damaging Lu Yu's small world.
Lu Yu's eyes focused, he slowly lowered his head and vanished from his spot.
In an instant, explosions erupted from various parts of the super demon's body, multiple energy nodes were simultaneously breached.
In just a moment, a third of the super demon's body had been swallowed by the fusion world.
The chain of laws formed by the world's rules pierced into the super demon and continually contracted, gradually devouring the super demon into the fusion world.
