Chapter 473 The Law of the Rat! Lu Yu, the Manifestation of the Abyss! The King of Seven Rings and Seven Seals
this moment,
The entire Hellfire volcano plane fell into a deathly silence, with only the bubbling and crackling sounds of lava remaining.
The demons were horrified; the Abyssal Ghost Tree, which they regarded as their protector and which had used its power to suppress the Hellfire Demon Giant...
They were completely crushed in a single exchange!
Does the Hellfire Demon Giant possess unknown bloodlines? How could it summon so many ancient demons?
"What exactly happened?"
Even the hellfire demons were dumbfounded. It turned out that it wasn't that the will of the abyss wasn't responding, but rather that it was giving too much, causing it to crash.
Did their ancestors produce some kind of demons with one or two digits in their lineage, possessing noble blood? Otherwise, how could they be used as top-tier sacrifices?
Some melodramatic stories couldn't help but surface in my mind, and a sense of hope for survival welled up within me.
Who would willingly choose to die if they could live?
"How is that possible!?"
The Abyss Ghost Tree stared at the black knight before it, its face on its trunk displaying an expression of disbelief.
Not only because of its strange abilities, but also because of what it said...
king!
Unless one is the king of a beast or monster tribe, anyone who claims to be a true king is usurping the throne and will attract unseen malice from fate.
Demons rarely call themselves kings; most are lords or great lords.
In other words...
The Hellfire Demon Giant did indeed summon an ancient demon, but it was most likely a false king.
These ancient demons were merely His servants, and therefore were treated as a single entity.
"We absolutely cannot let him out!"
The Abyss Ghost Tree had a resolute gaze. Spiritual energy gathered on its lush canopy, producing a large number of fruits. It had four limbs and resembled a tree-man, but its face had a strange piety.
They chanted eerie songs, transformed into streaks of light, and pounced on the Black Knight, spreading a mysterious power of redemption in an attempt to distort his reason.
The Profound Meaning of Crossing the Netherworld—The Light that Leads All Beings Back to One!
In its description, all living beings and things will return to one body, board the boat of the underworld, cross the river of death, and only then can they reach the eternal other shore.
The half of the Netherworld Emperor Tree power that Lu Yu obtained came from a seed that had branched off from the Abyss Ghost Tree.
Originally intended to establish a border defense, it ended up becoming food for the mice.
Now, the complete power of the Netherworld has reappeared, enveloping the Black Knight with its vast power of salvation.
"Convert to Buddhism..."
"Return... return..."
"As long as you surrender... you will be forever free..."
"..."
Countless seeds of redemption eroded the Black Knight's sanity, causing him to stop moving.
"Very good."
The Abyss Ghost Tree looked delighted and was about to take the opportunity to break free from the Black Knight's control, but it was immediately slapped hard by the slap before it could even move.
Click click click!
Numerous branches broke, leaves fluttered, and the violent tremor of its soul left it bewildered.
What happened?
Hasn't it been brought under control?
"Your will to convert is so devout?"
The Black Knight's calm voice rang out, tinged with an indescribable anger.
That's anger at their lack of ambition!
"Aaaaaaah!"
At this moment, all the Seeds of Salvation attached to the Black Knight wailed incessantly, as if they had been thrown into a dye vat, their bodies rapidly becoming soaked in dark matter.
"Let you experience the baptism of my... King's doctrine."
As they spoke, a more distorted and resolute will began to influence them, altering their reason.
"What kind of monster is this!" Even the Abyss Ghost Tree was somewhat taken aback by this scene, as it was the first time it had ever seen such a bizarre sight.
What is this guy's brain made of?
Even the power of salvation...
They've all been converted!
They struggled to escape, but were forcibly brought back and completely transformed into dark dolls, constantly chanting hymns praising a great and supreme demon king who was returning from the dust of the past.
The general content is...
"Crimson, crimson!"
"You are infinity, and you are power!"
"Seven rings, seven seals, seven beasts, seven deadly sins!"
"Praise your greatness, perceive your antiquity, seek in truth, in the opposite of error..."
Buzz!
At this moment, the portal trembled violently, endless crimson light swept out, and countless crimson ashes spread out.
The world, which was originally a fiery red due to the boiling of the hellish volcano, was now stained with a hazy, rusty gray.
It was as if time itself had turned into an old machine, running slowly at this moment.
"The dust of history!!!"
At this moment, the Abyss Ghost Tree was completely shocked, feeling that the situation was completely out of control.
Because those who can be buried by the dust of history are absolutely ancient relics, and even demigods might not have a chance.
It's highly likely that he's a guy like the Ancient King.
What kind of monster did the Hellfire Demon Giant summon?
Everything was disrupted, and although it was filled with hatred, its first reaction was...
run!
Running away when you can't win is not shameful for the demons of the abyss.
As for the demons under his command, just as the Black Knight said, they were nothing more than food.
It's just for eating anyway, so if it dies, we can just replace it.
"Damn it, it's all Lu Yu's fault for killing the Lava Mountain Demon. Otherwise, my clone would have already grown up on the human border, able to coordinate from within and without, and even seize some of the Sun Relics' achievements. As one of the masterminds behind it all, why would I be running around like this now?"
A thought flashed through its mind. Although unwilling, it decisively condensed countless seeds of Netherworld Crossing, transforming them into a mysterious tree boat. The phantom of the River Styx appeared, ignoring the shouts of a group of demons, and carried it to beyond the plane.
The ultimate technique—the Ark of the Underworld!
Seeing this, the Black Knight swung his Dark Sword down, but missed and passed right through it.
"Between life and death." The Black Knight looked surprised; as someone who possessed the ability to maintain balance, it recognized this ability at a glance.
Among the seven great imperial trees, the descendants of the Netherworld Crossing Imperial Tree are the most difficult to capture, because they can run away when things go wrong. Using the Netherworld Crossing as a boat and the River Styx as a sea, they cross the void between life and death, which is a top-level life-saving divine skill.
If the Abyss Ghost Tree hadn't used itself as bait to get close to the other party, it wouldn't have been able to successfully devour it.
Despicable acts are merely a necessity on the road to success.
Just when the Abyss Ghost Tree thought it could escape safely, it saw the outer edge of the world covered by layers of deep red spider webs, which covered the void.
Turning my head, I saw the ancient demon spider, transformed from the little spider, still reaching out to slowly weave everything, enveloping everything.
Silk weaving techniques—a vast and inescapable net!
"Run it over!"
The Abyss Ghost Tree's gaze was resolute. Just when it thought the spider web would pierce through directly, a radiant light burst forth from the crimson web, the power of law shone, and a small doll identical to the Ark of the Underworld and the Abyss Ghost Tree condensed and stuck to the spider web.
The Illusory Laws of Heaven—A Match Made in Destiny!
Using the power of the illusory heavens, they weave a fleeting, illusory destiny and bring it to fruition.
The next second, a similar fate befell him on the Abyss Ghost Tree, where he was entangled and tightly bound by the spider silk of the Crimson Web. But compared to the pain he was experiencing, he found it even more unbelievable that he possessed the power of the Netherworld Crossing...
It was smashed!
"Eek!"
Spider-Man remained calm, after all, she had not only acquired skills, but also significantly improved her proficiency in the core Law Power.
Moreover, there's a mouse at home that often sneaks food on the Ark of the Underworld, with far more tricks up its sleeve than the Ghost Tree of the Abyss, so it has long since gained enough experience.
The version is way ahead!
"What's going on!?"
The black and red dragon ant, transformed from a rat, felt a chill run down its spine upon seeing this scene, sensing that Sister Spider was making an example of someone.
Tell yourself to behave!
It wasn't the web-like ability, but rather the doll.
Although the rat poison has been gone recently, it had caught a glimpse of a doll exactly like itself in Spider Sister's Void Treasure Chest a couple of days ago, lying haphazardly in a corner.
Perhaps the hamster has become too ambitious lately, displeasing Spider Sister, who is already dealing with its doll clones behind its back. The hamster has been experiencing back pain recently, which might be a reflection of the pain the dolls are enduring.
Waaaaah, Spider Sister is so scary!
Just as the mouse was lost in thought, the Abyss Ghost Tree had already grasped the situation and sneered:
"Go ahead and kill him if you dare..."
Click!
Before he could finish speaking, the Paper Knight's Dark Sword pierced his body.
Looking at the bewildered Abyss Ghost Tree, the Paper Knight nodded, indicating that it always followed chivalrous virtues and loved helping others.
The Abyss Ghost Tree stared at its own dying body, its eyes filled with despair...
However, the Abyss War Demon, in the form of a rat, exposed it: "Stop pretending, okay? You're clearly a substitute formed from the fruit of the Ghost Tree, but you're acting just like the real thing. The stench of your conspiracy is almost overwhelming me."
It's ridiculous to stage a conspiracy in front of the Red King Rat, the God of Other Transformation.
In particular, the fact that the other party's cause and effect are connected to other planes indicates that the original body is not actually there.
This guy is definitely cautious; most people might have been fooled.
Unfortunately,
These are all tricks that mice have already used before!
"Who exactly are you?" The Abyss Ghost Tree looked shocked, but the rat did not respond, only sneered.
In response, it calmed down and chuckled, "So what if you've discovered me? You can't kill me. Sooner or later, you'll face me in my entirety."
Even the gods would fear... the complete Tree of Death!
"So, what do you think our king is waiting for?" the Paper Knight said calmly, bringing the Abyss Ghost Tree's smile to an abrupt halt.
He subconsciously looked up, only to see endless crimson power descending. Above the sky, countless roots spread out, and the enormous crimson Corrosion King Tree eroded the outer layer of the world, turning into a shadow that devoured everything, causing countless demons to tremble.
The roots spread out and transformed into a ferocious throne formed by seven blood-red stone spears. A figure clad in the armor of the Qilin Demon sat imposingly on it, with a stunningly beautiful white-haired succubus lying in his arms, leaning affectionately against him. Every move she made was alluring and captivating, her slender jade feet gently swaying.
The movements were a bit stiff, but this didn't attract much attention in the face of such great terror.
Because those few "ancient demons" that appeared bowed to him and said respectfully in the ancient demon language:
"Praise be to Crimson, praise be to my King!"
"Don't be so nervous." Lu Yu reassured the Crimson Lotus in his arms through telepathy.
Red Lotus buried her head in his chest, her face flushed red, not from shyness, but from anger.
This jerk may have sounded gentle, but before he said that, could he at least take his hand off her butt and stop pinching it?
This isn't a sponge; squeeze it and it'll hold even more water!
He's pretending to be a good guy. If there weren't so many people around, they would have definitely taken a bite out of him!
Red Lotus was furious, but she still found a reason not to bite Lu Yu.
Lu Yu didn't find anything wrong with it. He was holding the succubus in his hand, in a great mood. He really hadn't expected this...
Someone actually brought the food to our door.
Although he had disguised himself using the rat, a shadow suddenly fell over this place where the will of the abyss was fully covered, in the three-digit plane.
It's not a true kingdom or a divine realm. Everyone else is open to fortune telling, but you're the only one who's blocked it, which makes it seem like there's a huge problem.
If you cause any disturbance, the monitoring room will definitely investigate you first.
Lu Yu originally planned to finish the battle quickly, but the sacrifice of the Hellfire Demon Giant gave him the opportunity to clear his name.
All doors are under the control of their respective masters; this is not an exaggeration, but a statement.
If Lu Yu wanted, he could even manipulate the Gate of the Underworld in the hands of the God of Underworld Principles, though whether he would be interrupted is another matter.
Therefore, when this gate that summons the ancient demon appeared, it did not seek out the will of the abyss, but instead came to him first.
He still has a higher priority.
So Lu Yu changed his previous approach and came up with a better idea.
They saw a large number of ancient demons sleeping in the Ancient Demon Sea, and surprisingly, there was no trace of the Abyss Will among them.
What does this tell us?
Even the will of the abyss cannot control them. They are the earliest creations of the abyss, chaotic, evil, and twisted. Especially after being severely injured, they are on the verge of aberration and are out of control. They cannot distinguish friend from foe and will turn around and wreak havoc on the abyss.
If it were controllable, the will of the abyss would have released these guys long ago.
But we can't bear to destroy it, and keeping it for a long time will awaken these creatures. The only option is to find a place to seal it away and see if it will become normal over time.
Most importantly, over the long years, no one remembers what they look like or their names. Even the will of the abyss doesn't know how they've been twisted or how many primordial ancient demons there are.
After all, with the demise of the old demons and the intertwining of different spiritualities, it is normal for new individuals to emerge.
This gave Lu Yu an opportunity to create a perfect identity for himself and his pet beast through lies, deception, the influence of the laws of nature, and the simulation of aura.
In this way, they directly broke free from the suppression of different dimensions and restored their full combat power.
Now, with the help of the mouse's simulation, even if the will of the abyss came, it would think he was a genuine ancient demon of the abyss.
At worst, it just grew crooked!
Lu Yu did not close the door. His mind was racing. The reason he had waited so long was to collect cause and effect and deduce the location of the Abyss Ghost Tree.
That's enough for now.
Behind his head, the Karmic Calamity King's Disc, like a sundial, slowly rotated, with countless threads of cause and effect entwined in its center, gradually transforming into a single eye that opened and looked towards the Abyss Ghost Tree.
"What...is this!?"
The moment it saw it, the Abyss Ghost Tree felt as if its bark had been peeled off, and all its experiences and secrets had been forcibly read, leaving it powerless to resist.
What terrified it most was the Crimson Corrosion King Tree behind Lu Yu. Although it didn't seem to be any kind of royal tree descendant, it felt a fear that originated from its very soul, as if it were food itself.
It's definitely Wang Shu!
Even among the descendants of the Seven Great Imperial Trees, only the first generation could reach this level.
Could it be a descendant of the non-death path royal tree or divine tree?
"Found you!"
Just as it was pondering, Lu Yu's voice rang out, indicating that he had already spotted the location of the Abyss Ghost Tree's true form.
The 997th level of the Abyss is a unique ecosystem where hellish lightning and fire intertwine.
There stood a mysterious, pitch-black ancient tree, which seemed to sense the probing, its trunk radiating a crimson glow.
It transformed into a vast sea of blood, where countless ghosts and skeletons struggled, but were suppressed by a mysterious force, evolving into different life forms, but none of them could exist for long.
In the end, they could only come together and form the mysterious shape of the Netherworld Ship.
It showcased the power of the Ghostly Emperor Tree, the Blood Sea Emperor Tree, the Netherworld Crossing Emperor Tree, the Spirit Suppressing Emperor Tree, and the Transformation Emperor Tree.
Together with the Reincarnation Emperor Tree and the most mysterious Underworld Emperor Tree, these are the seven great beings born after the Death God Tree was shattered.
These represent seven states: the existence of the soul, the blood of the corpse, crossing death, suppressing the spirit of the dead, the soul transforming into other lives, the soul being reborn and immortal, and the prison of all spirits.
The rest of the souls' peace and the authority over the underworld are in the hands of the Lord of Peace and the God of the Underworld.
The Corpse-Hidden Emperor was the strongest god of the underworld before, because he controlled the corpses, the night, and the eternal cemetery.
The God of the Underworld holds the authority over the laws of the underworld and the gates of the underworld.
As for death, each god of the underworld divided it into ten parts, while the god of the underworld's share, derived from the judgment of truth, was born without adhering to logic.
But the result is that life and death lose their balance.
However, Lu Yu did not expect that the opponent had actually gathered the power of five kinds of royal trees, and its strength was infinitely close to that of the ecological master. If it were allowed to develop for a period of time, it might really be able to gather all seven royal trees and successfully return to its original form.
"Who is spying on me?"
The Abyss Ghost Tree trembled violently, and psionic phenomena erupted.
"Did you notice? But it doesn't matter!"
Lu Yu chuckled. His current form was the disguised dragon armor, which had also been fused with the rat, forming the Causality Dragon Armor.
Click click click!
The Karmic Calamity King's Disc rotates, and the law of cause and effect begins to condense, traversing two planes and directly locking onto the opponent.
Next second,
The Abyss Ghost Tree in the 997th plane saw endless crimson currents intertwining in the sky, transforming into a vast hand reaching out to grab it.
"Arrogant!"
The Abyss Ghost Tree roared, having never before encountered such an arrogant being. It unleashed a vast amount of spiritual energy, with countless roots sweeping upwards like a hero challenging the heavens.
Unfortunately……
This is not a storybook, nor is it a novel; there is no main character.
Lu Yu's gaze was calm, devoid of contempt or anger; he simply said:
"The gods fear you in your entirety, but alas..."
"I am above God!"
"Perfect timing to test the new laws for the mice with you."
"The Law of the Beast—The Crimson Law!"
