A Demon Imperial Armament!
How could a human possibly possess a Demon Imperial Armament?
And how could they gain the recognition of an Imperial Armament?
At this moment, the Demon King was completely dazed.
He felt as if his entire worldview had been overturned!
“How could you… possess a Demon Imperial Armament?”
“No, you’re not human at all!”
“What… are you!!!”
By now, the Demon King no longer wanted to believe that Lu Mo was still human.
He urged his Stellar Body, raised his hand to grasp the great sword formed by stringing together those stars, and swung it violently toward Lu Mo!
In an instant, it felt as if the power of a thousand stars being extinguished came crashing down upon Lu Mo!
“Final Annihilation—”
Lu Mo spoke at that moment.
And at that very moment… the Final Final Annihilation Sword was finally fully awakened by her.
The demonic power sealed within the Original Sin Imperial Armament—the power that had been devoured—erupted forth all at once!
Darkness expanded, colder than the black mist starry sky, deeper than the stellar force!
In an instant, it crazily spread out.
Like a pitch-black flame, it ignited the surrounding black mist starry sky!
As the darkness spread, everything became clear.
The fragments of the first Demon Emperor’s authority awakened at that moment.
The pressure of the oldest and most powerful emperor of the Demon Realm fell upon the Demon King’s Stellar Body!
The moment the Demon King touched that pressure, his entire Stellar Body trembled violently.
“Th-this is—”
A large amount of stellar force shook loose in the tremor.
He sensed something.
In that shattered hall, he felt as if he stood in a pitch-black, burning world.
And at the end of the hall, a figure sat on the imperial throne, coldly looking down at him!
It was as if… he was being granted an audience with the most ancient emperor!
“Demon Emperor…”
“No… not just the Demon Emperor…”
“That aura belongs to the first Demon Emperor!”
That original, forbidden, sinful… Original Sin Demon Emperor!
So—
The sword in the girl’s hand was not just any Imperial Armament—it was…
The Original Sin Imperial Armament!
At this moment, the Demon King suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the Demon Emperor had bestowed upon him a new Imperial Armament.
That armament was far more powerful than his original one.
But it was poisonous.
Because… it was the Original Sin Imperial Armament.
If he was careless, even he, the Demon King, could be killed by the Original Sin Imperial Armament turning on its master.
The Demon Emperor’s meaning was simple—either accept it, tame it, break through humanity’s barriers once more, and complete his mission; or be corroded by it, be destroyed by it, and use it to end his own life at the very end.
After a long silence, the Demon King accepted the Demon Emperor’s decree.
However, later on, all he received was news that the Grand Duke escorting the Imperial Armament had gone missing, and the armament itself was lost without a trace.
He nearly fainted from rage on the spot.
The Original Sin Imperial Armament was supposed to be his hope for turning the tables.
Was that Grand Duke a human spy? How could such an important armament be lost just like that?
He sent people to search for it many times over the following years, but always without result, and he dared not inform the Demon Emperor of this matter.
Yet he never imagined…
That the Original Sin Imperial Armament would end up in Lu Mo’s hands!
And it seemed to be completely under her control!
“Riiip—”
The Final Final Annihilation Sword slashed down, and in an instant, a corner of the black mist starry sky was directly torn open!
And soon, the torn space began to burn wildly!
It burned until only pure demonic power remained, which then merged back into the Final Final Annihilation Sword thread by thread!
Devouring!
Compared to the Demon King’s talent, what the Final Final Annihilation Sword exhibited now was true devouring!
The Star Great Sword finally fell.
Stars exploded one after another, and a terrifying force shook in all directions!
Lu Mo was also affected by this force. Pain shot through her back as blood gushed out.
But at this moment, she was already standing in front of the Demon King’s Stellar Body.
Then, she suddenly thrust the Final Final Annihilation Sword downward!
The devouring ability activated once more!
Perhaps at this moment, the Demon King’s realm and power were both far stronger than Lu Mo’s.
But his Stellar Body was also condensed from countless stellar forces.
And this… was precisely what the Final Final Annihilation Sword countered.
These energies were the most convenient for the Final Final Annihilation Sword to absorb!
As the devouring authority was pushed to its limit, a pitch-black flame suddenly ignited from within the Demon King’s Stellar Body.
!!!
The Demon King felt a sharp pain at that moment.
He then realized that his stellar force was being absorbed at an alarming rate!
His gaze fell once more upon Lu Mo.
After realizing that the Final Final Annihilation Sword was crazily devouring his power, he finally showed…
A hint of terror!
“Damn it!”
“Get out… of my body!!!”
He roared, trying to move away from Lu Mo.
But he was only half a Stellar Body, lacking a lower half, so it was difficult for him to move.
He immediately turned the stellar force on his body’s surface into air currents, which surged violently toward Lu Mo.
Countless spikes hid within, clearly aiming to pierce Lu Mo’s skin and inflict the same fate as Rumina earlier.
And at that very moment—
The Fusion Sublimation Power erupted from Lu Mo as the center!
A pitch-black void suddenly appeared behind her.
At the same time, countless black spikes sprouted from the Demon King’s Stellar Body, like thorns or even more like tentacles, blocking the spikes and air currents formed by the stellar force.
Lu Mo’s Heavenly Guardian Phenomenon was resonating strongly with the Final Final Annihilation Sword!
Those black tentacles also pierced into the Demon King’s Stellar Body.
At this moment, they began devouring the Demon King’s power crazily!
Furthermore, black thorns were vaguely forming a crown shape above Lu Mo’s head!
“Is this… really a human?”
The Demon King felt darkness before his eyes.
It was the first time he had seen such a Heavenly Guardian Phenomenon.
Pitch-black, extreme, mad, yet carrying an indescribable terror!
Lu Mo’s Heavenly Guardian Phenomenon was not suppressed by the Stellar Realm; instead, it resonated with the Demon Emperor’s authority within the Final Final Annihilation Sword, gradually suppressing him!
Watching the black crown above Lu Mo’s head gradually take shape,
For some reason, the Demon King actually felt…
Lu Mo looked more like a Demon King than he did!
“Damn it… I can’t let this continue…”
The Demon King muttered.
He was truly beginning to be afraid.
If this went on, his power would be devoured more and more.
At that point, the Stellar Body would collapse directly.
And he… finally began to truly fear Lu Mo.
Fear her Heavenly Guardian Phenomenon.
Fear her true identity.
He looked at Lu Mo as if he were looking at a monster from the depths of the abyss.
So, he began to violently shake his Stellar Body, trying to force Lu Mo to let go of the Final Final Annihilation Sword.
He even started attacking her recklessly, even if it meant harming himself.
But Lu Mo did not retreat.
The devouring did not pause for a single moment.
She was wounded time and again by his attacks.
But soon, the devoured demonic power covered the wounds and healed her body.
As she devoured more and more power, her body began to gradually transform toward the demon race.
The patterns on her arms, like thorns and blooming flowers, began to spread to her torso.
The tips of her hair, dyed pitch-black, kept lengthening, from her waist down to her ankles, merging into the darkness behind her.
Demonic power formed a pitch-black dress that covered her body, outlining her graceful curves and making her skin appear even paler.
The hem spread out, its patterns ancient and complex.
She was still stunningly beautiful.
But there was now a beauty of extinction.
A beauty of despair.
A beauty that made people suffocate and revere from the depths of their hearts.
And the crown of thorns above her head became clearer, deeper, and more noble.
As if she were the true Demon King.
And the one before her was merely a false king.
“Enough… enough already…”
The Demon King finally let out a terrified voice.
As his power was continuously devoured, he could no longer maintain his Stellar Body.
Countless cracks appeared on its surface.
The next moment—
The Stellar Body collapsed with a roar!
The Demon King’s bloody true body was revealed once more.
He lost his support and fell heavily to the ground.
At this moment, he was extremely fragile.
As if one sword strike would be enough to finish him.
“Cough… cough…”
He kept spitting blood.
“Ha… haha…”
“Human… I admit, this time, I have lost.”
“Come on, kill me… take your glory and your coronation!”
He barely maintained his last shred of dignity.
But as Lu Mo approached step by step—
His voice suddenly stopped.
Because he saw her eyes.
There was no joy, no hatred.
Only calm.
Deep as an abyss.
As if… she wanted to devour even more.
“Riiip—”
Pain struck.
Lu Mo pierced his heart with her sword.
Then—
She continued devouring.
Devouring his talent, his rank, and all the remaining power!
A chill instantly enveloped his entire body.
“What are you doing?”
“What… do you want!!!”
The Demon King completely lost his composure.
But Lu Mo did not answer.
She merely looked at him coldly, devouring everything he had.
Stellar force, Demon King rank—all were stripped away.
Devoured by the black sword.
Merged into her body.
She seemed to have become an abyss that devoured everything!
This terror made the Demon King wish he could die immediately, rather than endure any longer!
“Kill me!”
“Kill me now!!!”
“Why are you devouring me?! This does you no good!!!”
“Once humans discover this, you will become the enemy of the entire world!”
“What are you?!”
“A madman… you’re a madman…”
His consciousness gradually crumbled.
In his daze, he even mistook Lu Mo for the Demon Emperor.
“Demon… Emperor…”
But soon, he snapped awake again.
No!
This was the human world!
The being before him was that monstrous girl!
Suddenly—
He seemed to think of something.
Thought of the mission the Demon Emperor had given him.
The being he was supposed to find…
Could it be…
At the end of his life, he suddenly raised his head and screamed with his last strength—
“You… could it be—”
Before he could finish.
His body completely shattered.
Turning into a pile of residue on the ground.
The Demon King—was dead.
Devoured entirely by the Final Final Annihilation Sword.
***
With the death of the Demon King, the entire Demon King’s Throne seemed to lose its support.
One by one, the black rectangular pillars began to tremble violently, gradually collapsing and reverting to demonic power.
“What happened?”
“The Demon King’s Throne… is collapsing?”
Both humans and demons sensed the abnormality.
“The Demon King… is in trouble?”
A demon grand duke fell heavily to the ground, his face pale, yet still unwilling to believe it.
“Did it succeed?”
The human high-rankers looked into the depths, a hint of delight appearing on their faces.
At this moment, the most severe collapse was in the central hall.
After the black mist dispersed, the entire hall rapidly crumbled and disintegrated.
Giant pillars, walls, steps… everything was turning into mist.
Only the throne—
Still stood solidly.
Amid the surging mist, it stood quietly.
Exuding an ancient and weathered aura.
As if waiting for…
A new master.
When it sensed Lu Mo’s presence, it vaguely showed a hint of submission.
Waiting for her to sit upon it.
Waiting for her to be crowned as the new Demon King.
Lu Mo looked at the throne.
Then, she slowly walked toward it.
Step by step.
Within the Final Final Annihilation Sword, the woman remained awake.
But she no longer spoke any tempting words.
Because she already understood—
What Lu Mo wanted to do.
Was far crazier than “becoming the Demon King.”
Far more subversive.
…
“What a madman… this girl.”
