605. A Fair Fight

The people closest to you know best how to hurt you the most.

Wu Xu and his wife Ao Yu also shared a "husband and wife as one" relationship that was the envy of many.

However, after the two sides turned against each other, the convergence of their life fluctuations became an unsolvable problem.

His body recognized his wife as "one of his own" and, without any defense, was directly pierced through his heart and dantian, two vital points, thus holding Wu Xu firmly in control until now.

Not only were they exhausted and out of strength, but they were also unable to use their mental abilities, and their combat power was reduced by half out of thin air.

No matter how you look at it, this is a rather stubborn abnormal state.

A dignified Yang God Immortal Venerable should have resolved this issue long ago, after thousands of years.

The reason it has dragged on until now is that even though his wife is dead, her body still retains the "unity of husband and wife".

The convergence of life fluctuations caused the Dragon Corpse and Wu Xu's flesh and blood to merge, becoming indistinguishable.

The Dragon Corpse recklessly squandered Wu Xu's energy, allowing it to increase and spread infinitely, polluting and harming the entire body, yet it received no retaliation.

Only Wu Xu could personally control the body with his divine sense, engaging in a struggle and tug-of-war cell by cell.

This abnormal proliferation and immune escape are characteristics of cancer.

The essence of "Prison of the Heart" is a super cancer targeting the Yang God.

After thousands of years, this protracted struggle is finally coming to an end.

"Haha, you slut! You slut! You slut!!!"

The owl-like laughter and curses transformed into an interstellar wind that swept across the sky, even tilting the coronas of two stars.

Wu Xu gritted his teeth, pulled hard with both hands, and with a "plop," ripped out a large section of the Dragon Corpse, leaving only a tiny thread connecting it.

The Dragon Corpse struggled and writhed, its claws gripping Wu Xu's stomach tightly.

But it was clear to anyone with eyes to see that this was a desperate struggle, Wu Xu was on the verge of victory.

However, this final step wasn't easy either. He coughed up blood and prepared to catch his breath before launching his final attack.

Suddenly, Wu Xu frowned and looked to his side, saying:

"Soul Eater Mother Empress, and... Star Eater, what are you doing here?"

Accompanied by the spacetime curvature caused by gravitational imbalance, two figures suddenly appeared in space.

The first creature, resembling a spider standing upright with eight dark eyes on its body, was none other than the Soul Eater Mother Empress.

The other person, wearing a hooded black robe whose face was obscured, was likely the "Star Eater".

It spoke first, saying, "Star Eater is a species name; I prefer you to call me [Lord of the Void]."

"A mere monster, yet it has such a resounding name."

Wu Xu's face showed a sneer, completely disregarding the two Star God. Good.

This stems from the disdain that advanced cultivation civilization has for barbarians.

In Wu Xu's view, the other party had no "Dao" (the Way), was no different from a beast, and did not even have the right to communicate with him.

The Star Eater, also known as the Lord of the Void, coldly said:

"Still so proud, huh? There's something I forgot to tell you: your Mother Star is about to be devoured by one of my kin."

Wu Xu's expression remained unchanged. "Then I'll devour you now, as a way of repaying you."

"Wait a minute, I'm not your opponent."

The Lord of the Void spoke with a gloating tone, "Lu Li coming soon. You'd better think about how to deal with him."

Wu Xu's expression changed slightly. Lu Li's cultivation speed far exceeded his expectations, and he was still a little short of recovering.

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Void and the Soul Eater Mother Empress teleported outside the "Heliosphere," clearly intending to sit back and watch the two tigers fight.

Lu Li and Wu Xu are sworn enemies and will surely have to fight to the death. Right now, all we need to do is wait for the winner to take all the spoils.

The Lord of the Void even sent a message to stir up trouble:

[A young, powerful warrior, burning with boundless rage and insatiable hunger, seeks to devour his aged and wounded enemy—what an exciting bloodbath!]

As soon as he finished speaking, the phenomenon of "spacetime warping" occurred once again in this star field.

The space suddenly folded, like a handful of paper being grabbed.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li's figure appeared.

His powerful divine sense swept across the entire star field, and he had a clear understanding of the situation on the field.

"Wu Xu, I'm here."

Lu Li looked at the other person and found something wriggling in their abdomen, clearly indicating that they had not yet escaped the constraints of the "prison lock on the heart".

"You've come at just the right time. Let me see just how capable the person chosen by Shao Hao's will truly be."

Despite his extensive experience in battle, Wu Xu remained calm throughout.

Although I'm not in good shape, spiritual practice requires time and accumulation, and I may not necessarily lose.

However, Lu Li didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he opened up his Body Illumination and let Xiao Yu out.

"I have never shown mercy to my enemies; you are the only one."

Lu Li said earnestly, "Wu Xu, as long as you surrender and your soul enters the Life Lamp, I will let you go."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and she looked at her father with great anticipation, though it was unclear what she was actually expecting.

Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.

"Spare me, and let my soul return to the Life Lamp, ha..."

After laughing, Wu Xu glared at Lu Li and roared angrily:

"Why would I need the pity of a junior like you! Your bloodline with Shao Hao, and that vile planet, shall be torn to pieces!"

Wu Xu seemed to have been greatly insulted, and immediately flew into a rage, causing the Dragon Corpse to begin to dance.

Lu Li said calmly:

"Since you remain so stubborn, I have no choice but to kill you. However, you are still Xiao Yu's father, and I will not take advantage of you in your vulnerable state."

Lu Li looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Go and bring your mother's body back."

This clearly means that the Xiao Yu is to break the "prison lock on the heart"!

At their level, their vitality is incredibly tenacious; even corpses retain some instinctive reactions.

If the biological daughter intervenes, there is a very high probability that the shackles can be removed.

"Lu Li, you..."

The women on Lingxing were all shocked, never expecting their men to be so bold.

But upon closer reflection, he is, after all, Xiao Yu's father.

Giving the other side a fair chance to fight is the last act of mercy based on blood ties.

Qiu Sheng understood even more clearly the Dragon Girl's position in Lu Li.

Xiao Yu stood there stunned for a long time without moving, until Lu Li took her hand and said:

"It's alright, you should untangle this mess yourself; it'll be good for both of you."

Lu Li led Xiao Yu to Wu Xu's side, Wu Xu stared coldly at his daughter without saying a word.

Xiao Yu didn't look at him, but simply placed her hand on the Dragon Corpse and gently stroked it twice.

"Mother."

Almost the instant the words were uttered, the Dragon Corpse detached from Wu Xu's body.

"Phew, it's been so long since I've felt this relaxed."

Wu Xu let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Lu Li, saying:

"Kid, you've got some nerve, but I still won't show you, or anyone else, any mercy!"

"It's alright, I just want my thoughts to be clear."

Lu Li said, "I'll go take care of those two demons. You have a few minutes to adjust."

Having said that, he headed straight for the Soul Eater Mother Empress and the Lord of the Void.
