Huo Dou guided its own power out, transforming into an eternal statue, and the hatred and aversion towards the universe turned into this Purgatory Fire Sea.
Lu Yu glanced at the Purgatory Fire Sea created by Huo Dou, but paid it no mind.
His consciousness returned to his avatar, and the avatar transformed back into the starfield giant, wandering in the chaotic space-time battlefield, looking for new targets.
Lu Yu estimated that with another boost in his power, he could obliterate Huo Dou, which was suppressed within the universe.
His current power stems from two sources: one is the cosmic starfield; as the cosmic starfield expands, his power continuously increases.
The other source is the world origin extracted from the great cosmic world; the more world permissions he masters, the more world origin he can extract from the great cosmic world, thereby strengthening his small universe.
Therefore, it is said there is not much difference between Lu Yu now and the Innate Demon God.
Both are extracting the life force of this universe.
The only difference is, the Innate Demon God extracts the universe's life force for personal strength.
All that Lu Yu does is solely for a brand new future, a future devoid of threats from lurking demons.
"Just a little more to reach one percent," Lu Yu thought to himself.
He just needs to randomly find a few weaker Saint Ancestors to surpass the level of world permissions.
World permission is unique, with a total amount of one; possessing this "one" means being the true master of this cosmic world, able to control all matter, energy, and life within it.
Ordinary Saint Ancestors can only fuse with Heavenly Dao, obtain its recognition, and then gain world permissions.
To surpass the one percent threshold requires opportunities rare as once in ten thousand years.
But Lu Yu is different; he just needs to gather those scattered world permissions to surpass one percent.
To him, there is no real threshold.
Only Lu Yu, who possesses an independent universe, can accomplish such a feat.
Suddenly, Lu Yu's mind stirred, sensing a fluctuation in power. He looked up and saw a wave of light spreading from afar, resembling a supernova explosion over there.
An incredibly blinding light swept across Lu Yu's body, and a golden membrane appeared three inches from his skin, blocking all shockwaves.
Lu Yu squinted, estimating that the residual force from that battle was quite strong.
He surmised that over there must be the main battlefield for the Saint Ancestor realm experts and demons.
Individually fighting Saint Ancestors couldn't continuously unleash such a level of residual force wave after wave.
Lu Yu quickened his pace, traversing time and space, crossing thousands of miles in a step, swiftly approaching the battlefield.
Before even seeing the battlefield, Lu Yu first saw a powerful human chasing and slaying two Saint Ancestor demons.
It was the first time Lu Yu had seen a human strong enough to gain the upper hand while facing an assault from demons.
Upon approaching, Lu Yu noticed that the human warrior held a Holy Weapon enveloped in chains of order and the Power of Rules.
A strike from the Holy Weapon could sever a star river, and when it landed on the Saint Ancestor demons, their aura sharply declined, suffering heavy damage.
After a few strikes, the Saint Ancestor realm expert wielding the Holy Weapon could kill the bodies of these Saint Ancestor demons.
To truly slay a Saint Ancestor demon, one must find the Holy Mark they leave behind and erase it to prevent them from resurrecting again.
As long as the Holy Mark exists, even if the bodies of Saint Ancestor demons are shattered, they can resurrect from the Holy Mark.
Lu Yu was planning to wait for the Saint Ancestor realm expert to kill the two Saint Ancestor demon bodies before stepping in for scraps.
After breaking through the one percent world permission level, he could crush the Saint Ancestor realm expert, capturing him in the cosmic starfield.
However, unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn.
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor, who had been pursuing and killing the two Saint Ancestor demons, was ambushed by a demon.
A demon concealed in the void struck the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor unexpectedly; had it not been for his Holy Weapon protecting him, this blow might have severely injured him.
The Saint Ancestor demon who lost half of its body flew back, and the missing half was recovering, albeit slowly, since it was obliterated by the Holy Weapon, making the recovery pace naturally slow.
Holding a Holy Weapon with cracks, the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor surveyed the three demons surrounding him, his face furious, flames in his eyes seeming to want to erupt three feet.
He was unexpectedly ambushed by demons; should other Saint Ancestors learn of this, he wouldn't know where to hide his old face.
Though his face was filled with anger, his mind remained calm, already aware that the two demons had a purpose in fleeing here despite being weaker in power.
It was just that the ambush came too abruptly, catching him off guard.
The shadowy void demon showed a cold, indifferent expression; the strongest law he mastered was the Void Concealment Law, even able to hide Saint Ancestors' foreknowledge of their fate.
Yet unexpectedly, a weapon ruined the surprise attack.
But it didn't matter, for the Holy Weapon in the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor's hand had been severely damaged, nearly shattered after taking the ambush blow.
Its power significantly dropped, enough for the three Saint Ancestor realm demons to kill this human Saint Ancestor.
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor knew he couldn't fall here, otherwise, upon revival, he wouldn't remain human.
All Saint Ancestors knew that upon being slain by demons, they would transform into demons.
Thus, every Saint Ancestor realm expert strenuously avoids being killed by demons or letting demons find the position of their Holy Mark.
If defeated, they'd sooner self-destruct, not leaving chances for demons to find their Holy Mark.
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor's only reluctance was parting with his Holy Weapon.
This was his old partner, accompanying him in battle till now.
After self-destruction, he could revive from the Holy Mark, but the Holy Weapon wouldn't; once lost, it's truly lost.
Therefore, many Saint Ancestors don't possess their own Holy Weapons.
On one hand, Holy Weapons can't revive alongside oneself; on the other, crafting them is enormously costly, and many Saint Ancestors may not gather the materials to forge a Holy Weapon in a lifetime.
Usually, only veteran Saint Ancestors own a Holy Weapon of their own.
However, some veteran Saint Ancestors, having perished numerous times, lost their Holy Weapons and ceased forging new ones.
The Holy Weapon of the founding Saint Ancestor of the Great Zhou kingdom was simply given to his descendants, allowing them to possess pseudo-Saint Ancestor powers.
Even when the Emperor of Great Zhou wielded the founding Saint Ancestor's Holy Weapon, it could only cope with the weakest Saint Ancestor realm demons, those mastering minuscule fractions of world permissions.
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor glanced at the Holy Weapon in his hand, "Old partner, looks like we can only go this far!"
The Holy Weapon slightly vibrated, conveying a resolute battle spirit to the depths of the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor's heart, willing to fight for him to the very end.
"Alright! Let's fight till the end!"
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor's emotions soared, his aura continuously rising, his fighting spirit ablaze.
"Attack!"
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor bellowed, wielding the Holy Weapon and charging at the void demon who ambushed him.
The void demon showed no expression; upon seeing the charging Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor, its figure vanished into the void.
"Shake!"
The heavens around the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor rattled fiercely, as if time itself shivered.
The void demon concealed in the void was forced out, its position locked by the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor's aura, a strike fired forth.
The Holy Weapon descended swiftly upon the void demon, as if intending to shatter the entire void.
Unable to dodge, the void demon prepared to fend off the attack.
Unexpectedly, the instant the Holy Weapon was nearing, it suddenly changed direction, sweeping towards the two advancing Saint Ancestor realm demons from behind.
The power of the Holy Weapon, enough to sever star rivers, swept through the two Saint Ancestor realm demons.
The Saint Ancestor realm demon at the forefront bore all the strength and disintegrated, its form extinguished.
The Saint Ancestor realm demon behind was heavily damaged, only half a head remaining in the void, its strength severely dropped.
It is better to break one finger than to injure ten.
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ancestor elected to first slay the weaker two Saint Ancestor realm demons, then confront the ambushing void demon.
