Chapter 223 - 153, The Angry Lu Yun
[Slaughter Conception upgraded to Second Rank 1%]
As this message appeared on the panel, Lu Yun felt a drastic change occurring within his Sea of Consciousness.
In the center of his Sea of Consciousness Space, the blood-red lotus seat rooted there had a petal that was blood red to the extreme, as if blood was flowing through it. Amidst its mad sway, a surge of gray fog rushed in and was crazily absorbed and devoured.
Gradually, the blood-red lotus seat began to tremble, and in the area adjacent to the first petal, a flower bud appeared abruptly. It began to stretch and bloom after continuously absorbing the fog within the Sea of Consciousness Space.
During the blooming process, it was as if a torrential slaughter atmosphere was rushing forth, as well as the sound of clanging metal and charging horses, followed by myriad beasts running and fighting each other.
The ensuing slaughter and scene were enough to make anyone shudder involuntarily.
“The blood-red lotus seat represents the Slaughter Conception. Each petal represents a rank of Slaughter Conception. Now that my Slaughter Conception has advanced to the second rank, the blood-red lotus seat is blooming a second petal. It seems that my previous guess was correct.”
Lu Yun withdrew his mind from the Sea of Consciousness Space, as there was no time for him to study further since the battle was still not over.
After consolidating his mind, Lu Yun clearly felt that the slaughter aura lingering on the battlefield became even denser.
Destruction and foreboding lingered in his mind, constantly stimulating and impacting his thoughts.
Broken land surrounded him, with countless scattered corpses and flowing blood that soaked the area in red.
“All!”
Not far away, several Black Tiger Army soldiers were sent flying. Immediately after, a True Qi Realm Black Tiger Army Captain was brutally torn in half by a monstrous-looking Demon Beast, drenched in blood.
After devouring numerous human martial artists’ bodies and surviving multiple fights, this Demon Beast had finally broken through its bottleneck and became a Fourth Rank Demon Beast.
Roar!
The light-blue-skinned Demon Beast, with two short horns on its head, appeared exceptionally terrifying and ferocious as it couldn’t control its Demon energy proficiently since the breakthrough was recent.
It grabbed the torn-in-half Black Tiger Army Captain, putting him in its mouth, grinding its teeth ruthlessly, making the scene extremely bloody.
Seeing this, the Black Tiger Army soldiers nearby showed no fear and charged in unison.
Clang clang clang…
One after another, their attacks landed on the Demon Beast, but they didn’t even manage to leave a single scratch on its body.
With its claws swinging, Black Tiger Army soldiers in black armor were sent flying. The Demon Beast quickly lunged at one of them, its sharp claws easily tearing through the thick black armor as if it were tofu.
Splash!
Blood splattered as the Black Tiger Army soldier was ripped to shreds.
This scene was witnessed by Lu Yun as he charged over.
“Another Demon Beast is breaking through right before my eyes!”
A hint of crimson flashed through Lu Yun’s eyes, and he quickly charged towards the Fourth Rank Demon Beast without hesitation.
Clank!
Just as the Demon Beast with light-blue skin and two short horns reacted to his presence, a gust of wind and a long knife with terrifying speed and power struck down.
Plop!
When the long knife connected with the Fourth Rank Demon Beast, a bloody red airflow spread across the blade. Upon contact, the hardened skin was cut through as easily as cutting tofu, and the Demon Beast was sliced in half.
“As expected, after upgrading the Slaughter Conception to the second rank, the boost to my strength has increased once more.”
It was easy for Lu Yun to slay a Fourth Rank Demon Monster before, but killing it with a single strike was somewhat difficult.
Lu Yun cast a glance at the corpse beneath him and continued to kill other Demonic Beasts.
With the addition of Lu Yun, the Demonic Beasts’ defeat became even more intense.
One by one…
As he killed one demonic beast after another, Lu Yun always kept an eye on the progression of his Slaughter Conception.
[Slaughter Conception upgraded to Second Rank 3%]
[Slaughter Conception upgraded to Second Rank 4%]
[Slaughter Conception upgraded to Second Rank 5%]
As the number of Demonic Beasts on the battlefield diminished, the upgrade of the Slaughter Conception slowed down.
“After killing nearly six hundred Demonic Beasts, my Slaughter Conception has only advanced by three stages, the efficiency is somewhat low.”
Previously, killing a recently-promoted Fourth Rank Demon Beast had increased his Slaughter Conception by two stages in one go.
With this comparison, it was definitely not cost-effective to kill low-level Demon Beasts.
Lu Yun’s gaze fell on the distant Netherworld White Tiger.
Right now, the Netherworld White Tiger was being jointly besieged by Liu Zhong and Sun Da, but only a few light scratches were visible on its massive frame, and its Demon energy surged like a storm.
“It’s you!”
Traceless!
In an instant, Lu Yun had crossed several hundred zhang in the blink of an eye, as the wind and lightning flashed around him.
Before Liu Zhong, Sun Da, and the Netherworld White Tiger could react, Lu Yun had already covered himself in a crimson airflow. The White Scale Purple Gold Knife’s blade rapidly extended with a blood-red color, and with a swift strike, he struck down the Netherworld White Tiger.
As the attack was about to land, the black Demon energy barrier shattered. The blade cut into the heart of the late Fourth Rank Netherworld White Tiger, and the endless knife aura released instantly, crushing all its life force.

Almost at the same time, Sun Da and Liu Zhong finally reacted. When they saw Lu Yun, who was standing beside the Netherworld White Tiger’s corpse, their bodies trembled slightly.
At this moment, the killing intent surrounding Lu Yun had become increasingly dense.Great oppression and chilling terror could be sensed from afar..
