Actually, he didn't care about the life or death of the Void Ancient Dragon Saint Ancestor; in his eyes, this star was more like a collector's item.
Collecting is one of Lu Yu's few hobbies now.
To treat a Saint Ancestor-level powerhouse as a collectible, such an unbelievable thing could only be done by Lu Yu.
Or rather, it could only be done in his universe.
After dealing with the two who entered the cosmic world, Lu Yu's figure disappeared into the starry sky.
Lu Yu's consciousness descended upon his incarnation and glanced at this world, losing the power of the Void Ancient Dragon Saint Ancestor to sustain it, gradually disappearing under the influence of natural forces.
He mobilized the power of the great cosmic world to devour this secret realm.
This secret realm had already been severely damaged in the battle between two Saint Ancestor-level powerhouses, and its ultimate fate would have been dispersal anyway, so it was better for his mini-universe to absorb it.
Soon, the secret realm along with the outer Milky Way was swallowed by the mini-universe.
Lu Yu turned and left, seeking new Saint Ancestor-level powerhouses.
Having absorbed the world authority of two Saint Ancestor-level powerhouses, Lu Yu's world authority was now close to one percent, reaching 0.98 percent.
It was apparent that both the Void Ancient Dragon Saint Ancestor and that black mud demon were quite strong, each mastering 0.3 percent of the world authority.
If Lu Yu faced either of them alone, it would take considerable effort to incorporate them into his mini-universe.
The ease with which both entered his mini-universe was largely due to the Void Ancient Dragon Saint Ancestor's contributions.
Shortly after Lu Yu left the mini-world of the secret realm, he sensed a scorching aura approaching him.
Turning his head, he saw a red comet speeding towards him.
The red comet pierced through space and time, crashing straight towards Lu Yu, as if it were specifically targeting him.
Lu Yu sensed a familiar aura—it was Huo Dou, who had hunted him before.
Unexpectedly running into it again, Lu Yu thought to himself, what a coincidence.
Now, with his incarnation's increased strength, he was not afraid of Huo Dou.
Seeing Huo Dou rushing at him, Lu Yu voluntarily met it, transforming into a stream of light, charging towards the comet.
Boom! The comet and the stream of light collided, creating a violent explosion. The shockwave of energy swept across, affecting over a thousand miles, as all surrounding material shifted outward.
Lu Yu shook his head forcefully, and the dents on his body inflated like they were being pumped, the sound of cracking bones echoing. Soon, all broken bones returned to normal.
The force had a mutual effect; the damage from the impact on Lu Yu equally affected Huo Dou.
Huo Dou didn't fare well either, recovering only after a while.
Once it recovered, it saw that strange human voluntarily coming towards it.
Recalling how it got injured by this human earlier, an overwhelming rage surged in Huo Dou's heart, flames erupting from its body.
Flames wrapped around its claws, and with a few swipes, fiery claw beams flew out, blocking Lu Yu's path.
Lu Yu wielded the power of heaven and earth to suppress Huo Dou's power.
Huo Dou sensed the surrounding power, its expression changing before revealing a look of disdain, unleashing a more formidable power from its body.
The fiery claw beams tore through the defenses Lu Yu built using the power of heaven and earth, as if ripping through a piece of paper.
Lu Yu's defenses proved fragile and helpless in the face of Huo Dou.
He was surprised, not expecting Huo Dou's strength to be so formidable, even though its aura didn't give him an insurmountable feeling.
Seeing the encroaching fiery claw beams, Lu Yu swung his fists to confront them, shattering the seemingly formidable fiery claw beams in just a few punches.
His face showed astonishment, not expecting the seemingly intimidating fiery claw beams to be so frail and fragile.
What on earth was happening? A big question arose in Lu Yu's mind.
Huo Dou's face also showed surprise, not expecting Lu Yu's strength to have increased so much in such a short time.
Soon, Lu Yu realized it wasn't Huo Dou's strength being overwhelmingly powerful.
Instead, it was because the authority level it possessed was higher than his own, rendering the defenses he built with the power of heaven and earth as fragile as paper before it.
Calling it world authority was somewhat incorrect because Huo Dou didn't master world authority, but it contained within itself a power equivalent to the great cosmic world.
This power granted Huo Dou the ability to counteract the rules of the great cosmic world.
Huo Dou's power was equivalent to the Saint Ancestor level that mastered one percent of the great cosmic world's authority.
The disparity between one percent and 0.9 percent far exceeded Lu Yu's imagination.
A Saint Ancestor mastering one percent world authority could utterly dominate any Saint Ancestor with less than one percent world authority.
It was the nature of authority that superior world authority could control inferior ones.
With Lu Yu's current world authority, the strongest power of heaven and earth he could mobilize could not harm Huo Dou in the slightest.
However, his own power was different; as long as his power was stronger than Huo Dou's, he could defeat or even kill Huo Dou.
This is why Huo Dou's attacks could easily shred the defenses he created using the power of heaven and earth.
Yet his physical attacks could effortlessly shatter the fiery claw beams emitted by Huo Dou.
If Huo Dou had mastered one percent authority as a Saint Ancestor, such extremes wouldn't exist.
Though Huo Dou could withstand the effects brought by the world rules, it couldn't mobilize the world rules to form attacks.
It was a member of the Innate Demon God, a group repudiated by the great cosmic will, unable to master world authority.
In fact, Lu Yu was also an existence rejected by the great cosmic will, unable to advance to the Saint Ancestor within the great cosmic world.
Yet in his universe, he forcibly extracted great cosmic world authority. By mastering this world authority, he could create incarnations of Saint Ancestor level within the great cosmic world.
The only difference between Lu Yu and a Saint Ancestor was that the world does not perish, and the Saint Ancestor does not die.
His world authority was "seized," unrecognized by the great cosmic will and without leaving a Holy Mark in the great cosmic world.
Therefore, after his death, he would not resurrect at the Holy Mark.
However, Lu Yu didn't care about this. His main body was in his universe, and the great cosmic world was just an incarnation.
Even in death, he could be revived any time—not correctly a revival, rather a re-creation of an incarnation.
As long as he still held the great cosmic world authority, his incarnations would be endless.
Upon realizing the relationship between him and Huo Dou, Lu Yu refrained from using world authority to manipulate the power of heaven and earth, instead channeling the power within the mini-universe into his incarnation to fight Huo Dou.
Huo Dou leaped towards Lu Yu, waving its claws in mid-air, tearing through space hundreds of times. The entire sky was covered by fiery claw beams.
Fearless, Lu Yu charged into the sea of fiery claw beams, the power of the mini-universe circulating around his body, isolating all flames.
With world authority reaching 0.98 percent, the power Lu Yu could transfer to the great cosmic world had multiplied several times.
He now had the power to confront Huo Dou.
To the great cosmic world, he and Huo Dou were the same kind of existence.
The difference was that Huo Dou's ability to resist cosmic rules was innate, inherently equipped.
While Lu Yu's ability was obtained through illegally seizing world authority, with growth potential far exceeding that of Huo Dou.
Breaking through the flames, Lu Yu punched towards Huo Dou, the space around it rippling under his terrifying power.
Feeling the power behind the punch, Huo Dou's face changed, not daring to underestimate it. The horn atop its head glowed with firelight, colliding with Lu Yu's descending fist.
Boom! The force collision unleashed a shockwave, pulverizing the residual matter within a hundred miles into dust.
Lu Yu stopped his retreat, stomped the void, and rebounded to continue attacking Huo Dou.
Though Huo Dou possessed the strong constitution of an Innate Demon God, its ultimate ability wasn't its physical form but a layer of innate flames covering its body.
Flames capable of burning through rules.
Seeing Lu Yu charging once more, Huo Dou's body levitated and began spinning rapidly, using its horn as a spearhead and the whirl of flames as a shaft.
Transforming into a spiraling flame drill, it bore down on Lu Yu, reducing void, space-time, and laws to ashes in its relentless assault.
Nothing could stop its attack.
