Chapter 940 A Loving Mother and the King

As Lu Li drew his longsword, his soul intent surged to its peak, and the sword light swept across the sky like a master calligrapher freely wielding his brush.

The next instant, the giant hand was completely sliced ​​open, and a torrent of black rain fell, crashing to the ground and forming a black oil field.

Lu Li ascended into the sky through the rain, saying, "It's better to chop off those unclean little hands."

As he spoke, he drew his sword again, the arc-shaped blade light slicing through the gray mist and darkness. His sword intent was unrestrained, harming the Dark Night Ancient God while also possessing a strong pulling force.

That was a battle in the spiritual realm, a clash between wills. Amidst the surging spiritual intent, the black curtain in the sky finally disappeared, and a black sphere more than two meters tall appeared in front of Lu Li.

The surface of the black sphere was covered with tiny eyes that emitted a faint glow when still, like stars in a dark universe. However, when those eyes moved, they were quite disgusting.

This is the true form of the Ancient God of Darkness, the core of its spiritual will.

"The human king..."

This black sphere actually spoke human language, and countless eyes were fixed on Lu Li, as if investigating something.

However, Lu Li had no intention of continuing the conversation with Him. He rushed forward and brought down a slash, his blood energy surging around him, and his sword aura was domineering and unparalleled.

Layers of pitch-black barriers, like tough cloth, blocked Lu Li's path. Lu Li's slash was swift and decisive, cleaving through the layers of black cloth in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, he twisted his waist and changed his move when the sword strike was about to end. He withdrew the sword strike and turned it into a horizontal slash. Before the Dark Night Ancient God could defend in time, he directly cut through His body with a single slash.

The black sphere was cut in half, and the ancient god's mechanism began to operate, about to transform into two black spheres for a battle after the split.

But Lu Li gave him no chance. He turned his fist into a palm and pressed down. A huge furnace appeared in the void, surpassing the attraction of a black hole and even distorting mental will and information, sucking the Dark Night Ancient God into the furnace.

Lu Li seemed to be standing in the center of the furnace phantom, his blood and energy surging around him, radiating unparalleled heat. He was using his domineering crimson blood and energy to burn the Dark Night Ancient God, while simultaneously putting it under extreme pressure and high temperature under extreme gravity, making it impossible for it to continue splitting.

In this process, the furnace gradually turned pitch black, causing the ancient night gods who wanted to escape to crash into the walls formed by the black matter, leaving them bloodied and increasingly vulnerable.

In just a few breaths, the Dark Ancient God, whose mechanism for survival had failed, was completely silenced by the absurdly high damage multiplier. No one could withstand the true damage of the Soul Eater in his furnace for an extended period, not to mention the strange black substance that was weakening the Dark Ancient God.

A bead took shape in the furnace and was violently pressed into the compass on Lu Li's chest, instantly making his aura even stronger.

When the people of the mainland saw Lu Li, the peerless king who slayed gods, they felt their blood boil and realized that the fate of humanity was about to change. More and more people took up arms and rushed to the battlefield.

Even in the face of the weakest monster, they are vulnerable, but in the moment their heads are thrown off and their blood is spilled on the ground, they can feel that their blood is hot.

Lu Li killed the Dark Night Ancient God, one of the original ancient gods, which made the Deep Sea Ancient God, who had just arrived, pause for a moment and did not launch an attack on Lu Li immediately.

However, Lu Li was already bursting with fighting spirit and in the midst of his excitement. Without saying a word, he swung his butcher's knife at the giant octopus, saying, "Killing you will surely be enough to eat for a long time, right!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared on the blade, and a tentacle as tall as a pillar reaching to the heavens was severed by Lu Li. After it fell to the ground, it caused a strong earthquake, and when it lay on the ground, it looked like an endless mountain range.

Just as Lu Li was about to launch a further fierce attack on the Ancient God of the Deep Sea, gray mist surged in the sky, rushing down like a waterfall and cutting across the middle of Lu Li and the Ancient God of the Deep Sea.

Lu Li's slash into the gray mist was like slashing into mud that was impossible to move in. The momentum of the slash was gradually disintegrated, and at the same time, a counterforce appeared, forcing him back a few steps.

The numbers in the sky gradually disappeared at this moment, and the endless gray fog in the sky rapidly gathered, stirring up wind and clouds.

In an instant, all the gray mist returned to one place, and above the ancient god of the deep sea, there stood a humanoid being formed from the gray mist.

It has no human facial features, only a pair of dark, empty holes where the eyes are, through which gray mist can be seen slowly flowing.

He opened his arms as if to embrace the earth, and in the next instant, all the strange creatures that were ascending to godhood because of mutual slaughter were embraced by Him.

Apart from the ancient gods of the deep sea and those particularly weak anomalies, all the anomalies were embraced by an invisible force, and then disappeared from their original positions, appearing in the arms of the gray mist figure.

The shrunken monsters were still struggling, but they were being sucked into the gray mist figure's body as if they were sinking into a swamp.

In the blink of an eye, all of this happened. Lu Li attacked repeatedly, but his attacks were deflected. As the aura of the gray mist figure grew stronger, he did not frown. Instead, his battle blood boiled and his eyes shone with excitement.

"It was indeed a scam."

The gray-mist figure spoke in human language, looking down at Lu Li from its high position. Its figure was small and ordinary, yet it made the ancient sea god beneath it, which was much larger than a mountain range, tremble.

"Are you the loving mother spoken of by the ancient gods?"

Lu Li observed his final opponent. The gray mist figure in front of him was already much stronger than before. After absorbing those strange things, its aura was rising steadily, and its highest attribute had reached 258 points.

Moreover, this upward trend has not stopped. If the other party fully absorbs those strange entities, it will probably continue to advance rapidly towards higher realms.

"You are not the King of Men."

The figure in the gray mist spoke in a declarative sentence.

Whether I am the King of Humans or not is not up to you to decide, but up to humanity.

Lu Li placed one hand on the scabbard, but his aura gradually calmed down.

"He is indeed dead, but he deceived me for six eras."

The figure in the gray mist, or perhaps the being known as the Mother of Compassion, sighed, "Let all of this end."

Lu Li looked at his loving mother thoughtfully, "You want to confirm whether that former human king is alive or dead, so you repeatedly test the tribe instead of exterminating them?"

A battle is inevitable, but gaining more exploration points before the final battle will help him secure higher rewards.

Having experienced so much, he really wanted to know the origin of the strange creatures and what exactly happened.

“I am a being he created. He is the most special being. His hope can give birth to infinite power, and his despair can also give birth to the strongest me.”

The loving mother was generous with her words, and perhaps because she was finally about to end this long game of testing, she was in a good mood. "It's truly unexpected; I never imagined that the king was the 'culprit'."

Lu Li spoke with a melancholy tone. He understood that only living humans could generate negative emotions. After death, humans would no longer generate negative emotions. In the massacre recorded in the Undead King's Tablet, many people must have generated a large number of negative emotions before their deaths.

But there is another person, the strange point from which bizarre beings were born, and that is the former King of Men.

Perhaps due to his constitution, or perhaps due to his talent, he possessed an unwavering will that allowed him to distort reality, thus creating the 'Mother of Love'.

"Shouldn't you humans be the culprits? Objectively speaking, I believe I am compassionate. I was born from his hatred of humanity and gave all humans a merciful death."

The loving mother said, "But he has changed, and he even tried to fight against me and eliminate his mother."

"I bet he'd really have a hard time calling you 'Mother' if he saw you like this."

Lu Li grinned, he roughly understood what had happened back then.

The King of Men was in a state of utter despair during that massacre. In an era where even breathing cost money, they couldn't afford to breathe and were about to be subjected to chemical ecstasy.

Watching his relatives and friends die before his eyes, he hated not only the executioners, but also the era and humanity itself.

Born from this twisted hatred, the Mother of Love was born. She carried out the will of the King of Men and killed all the people in the company, which allowed the King of Men to survive the massacre.

But after the King of Men went out, he saw hope again. So he led mankind to form a resistance army to fight against the tyranny of the rulers. They were able to fight the rulers to a stalemate, and it is likely that they secretly borrowed the power of the Mother.

However, the King gradually began to realize the mistake he had made. He discovered that the strange creatures were no longer something that human technology and weapons could solve. As their war progressed, more and more new strange creatures were being born. If this continued, the world might fall into the hands of humanity.

Human society is already so decadent, and strange creatures roam freely; the future of the world seems shrouded in darkness.

The King of Men is the creator of the Mother of Compassion, and perhaps only he can restrain and destroy her. If his willpower is strong enough, he can erase her again by creating the Mother of Compassion.

Unfortunately, he had clearly relied on the power of the strange system while leading the resistance, as evidenced by his own power and that of the Sword Guardian, so he could not easily sever the help of his loving mother.

Ultimately, under the ruler's table-flipping offensive, the Human King didn't even have time to deal with these terrifying, bizarre creatures before he was critically injured and died.

Therefore, the king had to weave a lie before his death, not only to give humanity a false hope, but also to use this lie to steady his loving mother's steps.

For nine thousand years, the people of the tribe have sought true hope amidst falsehoods and lies, and today, illusion is about to become reality.

It is not through prayer, but through the knife in his hand.

“The King of Men is dead, you are not him, and I can now fulfill my original mission: to give love to all mankind.”

The compassionate mother spoke, and as she spoke, a wisp of gray mist extended from her hand and connected to the ancient god of the deep sea.

In an instant, the enormous, boundless ancient sea god shrank to the size of a doll and was sucked onto his back, like an octopus backpack.

"Are they not going to take over the farms anymore?"

Lu Li said sarcastically.

"That's just a means of waiting. Raising humans is too inefficient. That's what you taught me."

As the loving mother spoke, she stepped towards Lu Li.

He raised one hand, and the gray mist arm transformed into the shape of a sharp blade, slashing down directly at Lu Li. At the same time, the voice from his mouth turned into an unintelligible whisper, impacting Lu Li's soul.

Lu Li drew the Demon-Slaying Blade from his waist, its movements fluid and unpretentious, like a mortal wielding a sword. Yet, a phantom image resembling a Tai Chi diagram appeared behind him, drawing upon the very forces of heaven and earth.

In the next instant, the pitch-black blade collided with the gray mist, causing the air above to tremble violently and produce a deafening roar.

A massive cloud of air dispersed at the point where the two attacks met, and a fierce wind swept across the land, causing trees on mountain ridges to rise from the ground and the steel frames of city skyscrapers to twist.

Under the force of this violent impact, Lu Li was forced backward. With just one collision, he was slammed into the mountain below, turning it into a basin.

People on the mainland who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines, and those who had been riding high and fighting with great momentum all stopped in their tracks.

If most of the strange creatures had not been absorbed by the Mother, a large number of deaths and injuries would have occurred while humans were stunned.

Aizen, who was in charge of commanding the human fleet, couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene. With his abilities, he couldn't see the overall attributes of the Mother at all, but the fact that she could knock Lu Li away after his transformation with a single blow showed that there was an absolute attribute suppression between them.

Lu Li's figure rose from the basin and charged towards the Mother again, his fighting spirit undiminished, his killing intent shaking the sky.

As his surging blood energy burst forth, the wounds on his body disappeared as if burned away. He once again slashed at his mother with his blade, the sound of which seemed smaller than before, but the power was more concentrated.

boom--

Those in the distance couldn't see the details of the battle, but they could feel the entire space tremble before Lu Li was repelled once again.

"Not good..."

Aizen sensed something was wrong when he saw this. Although he couldn't discern the specific attributes of the Compassionate Mother, he knew that she, having absorbed all the strange beings on the entire continent, was still in her ascending phase.

His previous scheme created a chaotic scene and spawned many powerful monsters. Lu Li also devoured them in the battle. Unfortunately, Lu Li was not adapted to the monster system. Even when he devoured god-level monsters, he did not improve significantly in a short period of time.

This plan did indeed stop the monsters from targeting humans, giving humans the opportunity to revolt, but it also seems to have inspired the original eerie being, the Mother of God, to devour the monsters in the world.

However, the Compassionate Mother may have known from the beginning how the Devouring Technique was used. It is even quite possible that this technique was not created by the Human King, but was taught to him by the Compassionate Mother, and that He is now simply reclaiming His own power.

However, no matter what, when facing an opponent whose overall attributes already completely overwhelm you, and whose attributes are still slowly increasing, this is definitely the worst situation.

If Lu Li cannot finish this battle quickly, then he will definitely die!
