the other side.
The envoy "Jin" looked at his hand that had been knocked away, and then at Lu Li below who was holding a sword.
Only then did he notice the insect corpses scattered all over the ground.
"Did you kill the insect swarm?"
There was no anger in Jin's tone, only indifferent curiosity.
It's like a human observing a cockroach that has stepped on an ant.
After destroying Putello.
He only wanted to rest and recover his strength, and to use the insectoid race generated by his aura as a fulcrum to carry out destruction.
But during its slumber, it suddenly sensed that all its followers had disappeared. Upon waking, it instinctively attacked the starship it had discovered.
Unexpectedly, this mortal in front of him was able to deflect his attack.
The thought of his family members disappearing piqued his interest in the mortal before him.
But Lu Li did not answer; he simply tightened his grip on the knife.
Seeing that Lu Li did not react, Jin lost interest.
"How dare a mortal look directly at divine might! Die!"
Jin raised his hand, and his giant palm slapped towards Lu Li, this tiny "ant".
Lu Li gritted his teeth and raised his sword to defend.
But unlike the previous unintentional act, this time Jhin put in a bit more effort.
Therefore, at the moment of intersection.
"Click."
The long sword in Lu Li's hand let out a mournful cry as it came into contact with the envoy's palm.
next moment.
The blade broke in the middle, shattering into two pieces.
The terrifying recoil slammed into Lu Li.
He was instantly slammed into the depths of the earth like a kite with a broken string.
"Boom!"
The earth collapsed, and rubble flew through the air.
With a loud bang, a huge crater appeared a hundred meters in front of the spacecraft.
The live chat went completely silent.
This is the power of the messenger, something mortals simply cannot match.
Some viewers were even too scared to watch.
Kafka is still active in the universe, but they had never heard of Lu Li's name before.
This means that Lu Li was very likely already...
Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
Inside the spaceship.
Kafka gripped the bulletproof glass tightly, her fingernails bleeding from the force of her grip.
Her eyes were fixed on the deep pit.
My heart rate is completely out of control.
An indescribable stinging sensation spread from my chest throughout my body.
"Ah Li..."
Why...
Kafka's voice trembled without her even realizing it, and tears dripped down her cheeks to the ground.
……
The smoke and dust cleared.
Bottom of the deep pit.
Lu Li knelt on one knee, his left arm hanging limply at his side at an oddly twisted angle.
His chest cavity caved in dramatically, and with each breath he expelled large chunks of internal organs and blood.
He knew he was on the verge of death.
but.
Kaffa...
Lu Li struggled to lift his head and glanced in the direction of the spaceship.
Lu Li was stunned when he saw Kaffa's tears.
He knew what that meant.
next moment.
Despite being seriously injured and on the verge of death.
But he still smiled.
"Ha, ha cough cough... hahaha..."
Lu Li coughed and laughed at the same time.
Successful.
He really succeeded.
Kafka was worried about him, afraid he would die.
He finally gave Kafka... fear.
So all he has to do next is...
Lu Li slowly stood up, gripping the broken sword.
Seeing that Lu Li could still stand up in the pit, Jin seemed to finally become a little impatient.
"Mortal, die."
It raised its hand, and a giant palm made entirely of destructive energy slowly pressed down on Lu Li, this tiny "ant".
Wherever the giant hand passed, countless floating warship wreckages were silently decomposed into the most basic particles the moment they came into contact with the energy.
This is an unquestionable attack based on the "laws" of the messenger.
Faced with this devastating attack, Lu Li raised his head with a calm expression.
Then, Lu Li slowly closed his eyes and whispered seven words.
"Pharmacist... let's make a deal."
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The next moment, time resumed its flow.
As Lu Li completely released the last line of defense that he had been struggling to maintain deep within his mind.
The extremely dense demonic poison mist on Planet Putero seemed to have found an outlet, transforming into a solid black tornado that frantically poured into his body.
Golden ginkgo leaf-shaped patterns spread rapidly from his neck and climbed up his cheek.
A terrifying aura, brimming with abundant vitality, suddenly erupted from Lu Li's tattered body!
New flesh grew from the wound, mending the broken bones.
Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes.
Those once deep eyes had now turned into a fervent, dark gold.
Reason was burned away, in exchange for absolute power that surpassed all limits.
—The Demonic Body!
The barrage of comments exploded instantly.
[Luofu Cloud Riders: Demonic Yin Body! He has fallen into the demonic yin body?!]
[Junior Sister of Taixu Sword Sect: Wait, this seems different from ordinary demonic bodies. Ordinary demonic bodies lose their minds, but his eyes... are still clear?]
[Black Tower's Single Fan: Is he using his own body as a vessel to forcibly absorb the demonic toxins of this planet to gain power? This is suicide!]
[Company henchman: Demonic spirit? What's that? It sounds serious.]
[Interstellar Peace Reporter (Science Popularization): "Demon Body" is the name the Immortal Boat Alliance uses to describe a mental mutation phenomenon.]
[This is usually caused by the loss of meaning in life among immortal beings, or by ordinary creatures being corrupted by high concentrations of special energy. The sufferer loses their sanity, becoming a monster driven only by killing and destruction, and this process is irreversible.]
[Company henchman: Irreversible? Then wouldn't he be...?]
[Want to slack off and play cards: No way!!!]
Upon seeing the science-related comments, all the viewers gasped in shock.
They finally understood just how terrifying the "Demonic Poison Mist" on this planet truly was.
He finally understood that Lu Li had embarked on a path of no return from the very beginning.
Every injury he sustained, every breath he took hastened his death.
It's not that he can't feel pain, nor is it that he has a physical abnormality.
He was simply using his powerful will to forcefully suppress the collapse of his body and the madness of his mind.
And now, his willpower is nearing its limit.
……
On the Starry Sky Train.
"So that's how it is..." Himeko said softly, "He didn't choose this reckless fighting style because he's crazy."
"It's because he knows he doesn't have time."
"The moment he stepped onto this planet... he left himself no way out."
He had to end this battle before he completely lost his mind.
That's why he spared no expense, using the most brutal methods to achieve the most efficient killing.
He was racing against his own "death".
What kind of obsession is this?
March 7th was no longer able to speak.
She could only cover her mouth tightly with her hand to stop herself from crying out loud.
She watched the man on the screen whose body was gradually covered by golden patterns, yet whose eyes remained clear.
I felt as if my heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the pain was so intense that I couldn't breathe.
fraud……
Lu Li, you big liar...
Didn't you always say you were afraid of pain?
Haven't you been complaining about being tired all this time?
So what are you doing now?
This must be more painful than any form of torture!
Why did you lie to us...?
