Chapter 95 : Demon King

Solaris wanted to pluck that flower.

But she also knew that doing so would be very difficult.

Firstly, because over these past few years, her relationship with Cecilia had remained just like that—neither warm nor cold.

Secondly, it was because Lu Mo had always been guarding Cecilia’s side.

If Cecilia was that slowly blooming golden rose.

Then Lu Mo was the fierce tiger quietly guarding beside that golden rose.

If anyone were to approach lightly, wanting to pluck that flower.

Then, in the next second, that person would have their throat bitten through by that fierce tiger and die on the spot!

It’s… Lu Mo again.

Thinking of Lu Mo, Solaris’s face also darkened, a strong resentment and jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Initially, the high-ranking members of The Holy Sanctuary had only seen Lu Mo as a “catfish,” placed into the team to stimulate her to grow stronger.

But what about later?

Her own orders to the Saintess were blocked by Lu Mo!

She challenged Lu Mo to a sword duel, only to be utterly defeated!

She asked Yuxia, a fellow God-descendant, for advice, but the other party didn’t even acknowledge her, directly running to Lu Mo instead!

She finally managed to break through to the Earth Vein Realm, just thinking that the era belonging to her was about to begin…

Lu Mo, right after her, also stepped into the Earth Vein Realm!

And her Earth Vein power wasn’t weak at all!

Solaris felt as if she had always lived in Lu Mo’s shadow, never having stepped out of it.

Watching Lu Mo and Cecilia grow increasingly intimate, the unwillingness in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Just who was the Sequence Hero?

At this moment, Solaris almost hated Lu Mo to the extreme.

She wanted to receive Cecilia’s offering.

But she couldn’t use force.

So, she thought of many methods.

For example, deliberately taking on the most dangerous missions, personally leading the team to execute them.

During the execution, she deliberately hid her strength, pretended to be weak, intentionally putting everyone in danger.

“Will we… die here today?”

Several members of the team were terrified, their eyes filled with despair.

“No, I am the Hero, I will protect everyone, even if it costs me my life!”

Solaris wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, struggled to her feet, and raised the Sword of Annihilation again, aiming it at the enemies ahead.

She was just about to say:

“Miss Cecilia, for the sake of everyone, please offer your power to me—”

But right at that moment, Lu Mo stepped forward, blocking her path.

Then—

Earth Vein power erupted, a single sword slash!

That sword radiance was even more violent, even more terrifying than usual!

Solaris was so startled she took a few steps back.

She even faintly felt that the dense mass of demons ahead seemed to tremble the instant they sensed the aura of that sword radiance!

This kind of suppression was even more terrifying than holy power!

When she focused her gaze again, most of the demons ahead had already been slain.

Lu Mo sheathed her sword and turned back to Cecilia’s side.

Passing by Solaris, she spoke lightly:

“You seem much weaker than usual today.”

A single sentence, directly exposing it.

Solaris’s face stiffened.

The other team members also sensed something was off, but they didn’t think of “deliberately hiding strength.”

“Could it be that Lady Solaris was poisoned by the demons from the start?”

“How despicable! Those demon beasts!”

In the end, Solaris could only force out a sentence:

“I… um… don’t feel well, so my condition is a bit off…”

Only then did she barely manage to gloss it over.

She also tried to separate Lu Mo from the team.

She accepted a mission to destroy multiple demon nodes, dividing the team into several groups to execute it.

Lu Mo was dispatched alone to one of the nodes.

That node seemed easy to destroy on the surface, but hidden underground was a secret demon stronghold.

According to her plan, Lu Mo would likely be caught in a tough battle, maybe even captured.

But what she didn’t know was—

Lu Mo’s Earth Vein power was composed of six-fold fusion and sublimation, three of which even possessed extremely powerful demonic energy.

Once separated from the team, she no longer suppressed these powers, and her efficiency would only be higher.

Back when she first entered the Earth Vein Realm, she could instantly kill three demon nobles.

Let alone now.

So, when Solaris was only halfway through her own fight, Lu Mo had already returned.

“Lu Mo, did you run away? Do you even know that you—”

Solaris was almost furious.

She simply couldn’t believe the other party could complete the task so quickly.

Lu Mo ignored her.

She just walked to the front and casually tossed out a few things.

Those were—the heads of nine high-ranking demon nobles!

“Marquis Damera?!”

“Lord Gorzan!!!”

Those were the leaders of the various strongholds!

Now, all slain by Lu Mo!

The demons instantly collapsed, their formation thrown into chaos.

This hardest-to-conquer node was soon taken.

Solaris stared at those heads, falling into a daze.

Under the same conditions, without relying on the Sword of Annihilation, could she do it?

She knew in her heart—she couldn’t.

After several consecutive failures, she finally faced reality.

At least for now, she couldn’t find an opportunity to have Cecilia make the offering.

But she didn’t give up.

She waited.

Waiting for… the most opportune moment.

Time passed slowly.

The demons continuously assaulted the Holy-Demon Inner Wall.

Humans defended desperately, both sides suffering heavy losses.

In the third year, cracks appeared in the Inner Wall.

In the fourth year, four Grand Dukes descended with their armies.

A great war erupted, with humans achieving a costly victory.

Two Grand Dukes burned their life force, crashing into the Inner Wall, damaging it further.

That same year, another anomaly arose—

A terrifying pillar of energy tore through the sky and blasted down!

The already battered Holy-Demon Inner Wall finally collapsed!

The scene was like a replay of the destruction of the Outer Wall years ago.

Humans retreated step by step.

The demons had found their breakthrough.

The atmosphere of the world, at this moment, grew tense to the extreme.

And in the fifth year—

The Demon King descended upon the battlefield!

This was Lu Mo’s first time seeing the Demon King of this era.

The man clad in black armor walked slowly down from the sky.

Terrifying demonic energy spread outwards from him as the center.

Reality twisted at this moment.

City gates were swallowed, earth and sky turned to darkness.

Ancient crimson halls rose from the ground.

Blood-red stars hung in the firmament, weeping blood as they fell.

The entire world seemed to retreat before him.

All of this transformed into his Domain!

A power only those of the Starry Sky Realm possessed!

Even the Valkyrie seemed insignificant before such an existence.

Countless people lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.

Solaris did not look up.

The other geniuses were the same.

The Demon King’s power far exceeded their level.

But—

Lu Mo raised her head.

She looked directly at the Demon King.

She had to personally kill the Demon King of this era.

So, she could not retreat.

The Demon King lowered his head, looking upon all living beings.

“Humans.”

“If this is all you have, you cannot stop me.”

He raised his hand and swept it across.

The stars fell.

Crimson meteors, carrying an aura of destruction, smashed towards the earth!

Lu Mo did not retreat.

She prepared to unleash her divine artifact, to resist with all her might.

But right at that moment—

Several powerful auras rose from all directions!

They were humanity’s powerhouses!

Several figures soared into the sky, all at the Starry Sky Realm!

Domains unfolded, confronting the Demon King!

“The Holy Father…”

“The Primal Star Lord!”

“The Abyssal Realm Sovereign!”

Humanity’s peak powerhouses all took the stage!

The final decisive battle erupted here!

The Holy Father stepped into the crimson sea of stars, his voice grave:

“Now, are we qualified enough?”

The Demon King sneered:

“Your Domains are still at the second layer. Not enough.”

He drew his Imperial Weapon greatsword.

“Then I shall use this Imperial Weapon to sever your Domains!”

The great battle erupted!

Heaven and earth shattered!

Starry Sky Realm powerhouses were wounded one after another, some even perishing!

The Demon King was also severely wounded, his Domain shattered.

Finally—

The human powerhouses fully unleashed their divine artifacts, clashing head-on with the Demon King!

Right at this moment, a sudden anomaly occurred!

The Imperial Weapon in the Demon King’s hand—

Actually shattered!

Power lost balance.

The power of the divine artifacts struck the Demon King head-on!

Most of his Domain collapsed!

“The Imperial Weapon… how could it…”

The human powerhouses stepped forward:

“This era should end!”

The Demon King spat blood, his figure retreating.

The human powerhouses pressed their advantage.

A long time later, they returned.

Bringing back shocking news—

The Demon King was critically wounded, on the verge of death, having retreated beneath the Demon Emperor’s Gaze.

Multiple Grand Dukes had fallen in battle.

From this moment on—

Humanity began a full-scale counteroffensive!

Target—the Demon King!
