The ruined city in flames, demons roaming in the darkness, and people filled with panic and fear, the church shining with Holy Light becomes the last sanctuary for the people.
"Holy Light Judgment!"
A pure white Holy Light descends upon a demon three meters tall with five heads, and amidst its howling, the demon's body rapidly dissolves and vaporizes under the Holy Light.
"Sacred Blade!"
Several Holy Lights shoot out, landing on the steel blades in the hands of a few people around, causing the blades to emit a sacred Holy Light.
As the steel blades slash the demons, it is as if a hot knife cuts through butter, effortlessly slicing through the demon's body. The steel blades enchanted by the Sacred Blade purify the Demonic Qi within the demons with the power of the Holy Light, resulting in their complete demise.
"Banish Evil!"
A white halo bursts out from a middle-aged man, purifying all of the demonic presence surrounding the church. The terror-stricken people within the church also feel the power of the Holy Light, calming their hearts.
Lu Yu gazes at the church bursting with white light, showing a look of curiosity.
In his perception, this white power has a very strong exclusivity, specifically targeting demonic presence.
Using Spiritual Power to envelop some of the overflowed Holy Light, Lu Yu analyzes the components of the Holy Light.
This is a special kind of Spiritual Qi, which contains many complex powers, seemingly involving some kind of special existence.
Lu Yu's strength is not yet sufficient, so he can only discern that the Holy Light is a form of Spiritual Qi containing special power, but he cannot analyze what those special powers are or where they come from.
In reality, without being able to wield the Demon-Breaking Saber, Lu Yu can only rely on talismans to counter the demonic presence. If he could acquire the kind of power that Holy Light has targeting demonic presence, it would be much safer.
Using fire to burn is only effective against the external demonic presence. If the demonic presence invades the body, only talismans can be used to expel it.
Boom! A massive flesh mound, five meters tall, formed by merging numerous demons approached the church. The combat power of this flesh mound barely reaches the level of Martial Cultivator of the Qi Controlling Realm, with power able to threaten an early-stage Qi Controlling Martial Cultivator, but its defense is very weak.
After all, it's just a mound of flesh composed of mortal flesh and demonized blood, reaching this level of the Qi Controlling Realm is already quite formidable.
Such a monster would only appear in a city that has been completely taken over by demons and demonized on a large scale like this.
In Hua Country, even a small demon would be crushed in its infancy, never having the chance to devour and merge to form such a powerful demon.
The five-meter-tall flesh mound brings an immense sense of shock to everyone. If it weren't for the earlier purification of negative emotions by the Holy Light, the people would likely have already broken down and fled the church upon seeing this flesh mound.
Donald looks gravely at the flesh mound; his wife had just arrived, and casting Banish Evil was also to purify the Demonic Qi on his wife. Unexpectedly, it inadvertently became the last straw to stabilize everyone's minds.
"Holy Light Judgment!"
The remaining little Holy Power in his body transforms into a Holy Light, striking the flesh mound and obliterating three or four heads clustered together, leaving a basin-sized hole on the flesh mound.
The flesh around the wound on the demonized flesh mound surges constantly, nullifying the power of the Holy Light on the wound. Arms composed of countless twisted thighs and arms grab a nearby passing demon, which rapidly fuses into the flesh mound, healing the opening on its body swiftly after the Holy Light fades away.
Seeing the wound on the flesh mound recover instantly, Donald shows a look of despair. If he had his equipment with him, dealing with this abomination would be no problem.
But now his Holy Power is nearly exhausted from the previous battles, and without any equipment on him, he is no match for this abomination.
"Damn it!" Donald curses quietly.
Boom! A figure crashes into the church; during the fight with the abomination, he was sent flying by a hit, his ribs now mostly fractured, greatly diminishing his combat power. Just standing up would be a testament to his formidable physique.
Others slash at the abomination with their steel blades, cutting off chunks of flesh, but within seconds, the flesh grows back, leaving everyone in despair.
Donald was ready to abandon the others here, taking his wife and son to escape.
The five-meter-tall abomination raises its massive arm to crash down on the church, tearing open its walls. The people inside the church stare blankly at the abomination, losing the ability to react.
The abomination's stomach rips open, extending numerous coarse, interlinked arms towards the people inside the church.
Donald grabs his wife and son, preparing to flee while the others distract the abomination.
Just as the fleshy arms were about to grab the people at the outermost edge, a golden flame descends, burning all the fleshy arms to ashes. The golden flame spreads to the abomination, which screams in pain as it shrinks continuously in the golden blaze, eventually transforming entirely into a charcoal statue.
Lu Yu, engulfed in the golden Celestial Falling Bright Flame, descends upon the church. The air current brought by his landing causes the charcoal of the abomination to crumble and scatter with the wind.
Donald looks at Lu Yu in mid-air, eyes filled with shock, "Is this an angel?"
Except for the lack of wings, Lu Yu's current appearance is about the same as an angel Donald once had the fortune to witness, radiating with a golden light all over and possessing terrifying power.
The Celestial Falling Bright Flame spreads outward from the church, incinerating all the nearby demons into ashes.
Suddenly, Lu Yu has a peculiar feeling. Looking down, he sees hundreds of surviving citizens inside the church, including several powerful players, gazing at him with eyes full of reverence and admiration.
At this moment, Lu Yu is regarded as their deity, their savior in their eyes.
Forming a ring of Celestial Falling Bright Flame around the church to prevent the demons outside from entering, Lu Yu landed at the church entrance.
Donald approached Lu Yu with a conflicted expression, "Thank you for saving us."
Only now did he realize that Lu Yu, too, was a player like him.
Lu Yu didn't hesitate and directly asked Donald for the Cultivation Technique of Holy Light. Hearing Lu Yu wanted the cultivation technique, Donald was surprised.
In his eyes, Lu Yu was already a Mage at the Demon Master's level, so why would he be interested in Holy Power?
The cultivation technique for Holy Power was not meant to be passed around in the game, but in reality, Donald didn't care about such restrictions. He even taught the Holy Light Cultivation to his wife and son.
But unfortunately, neither managed to cultivate Holy Power.
Reciting the Holy Light Cultivation to Lu Yu, Lu Yu memorized it after hearing it once, finding it simpler than cultivating the Bladeless Blade Technique, as it mainly required faith in the God of Light.
Luckily, this city was not far from Hua Country, and Donald understood and could speak the Hua Country language. Otherwise, Lu Yu wouldn't know how to communicate with him.
Boom! An explosion sounded, a missile fell in the urban area not far from the church, the church's windows shattered from the blast's shockwave, injuring many with glass shards.
Soon after, Lu Yu felt the ground vibrate, with heavy objects advancing towards them.
Bam! A three-meter-tall demon exploded, flesh flying, wriggling on the ground; a tank appeared in everyone's sight.
Several soldiers dressed in white fireproof suits, carrying fuel tanks, wielding flamethrowers, burned the demon flesh crushed by the tank into black charcoal.
A burly figure wielding a Hammer of Divinity enchanted the tank with Sacred Blade, causing the tank's exterior to emit white light. All demons leaping onto the tank were purified by Holy Light, those crushed by the tank were also purified.
The hammer-wielding man flying in the air points at the church surrounded by golden flames, shouting, "Survivors over there, advance that way."
Lu Yu opened a gap for the tank and troops to enter the church area.
William, holding the Hammer of Divinity, flew into the church, seeing the hundreds of surviving citizens, feeling joyous, and upon noticing Donald, was surprised, "Donald, you saved all these people; old friend, you've done a great deed this time!"
"Uh~ No, it wasn't me, it was..." Donald turned to look at Lu Yu, realizing he had left.
William patted Donald's shoulder, saying, "Whether it was you or not, the most important thing now is to get them out of here. Let's get to work, folks!"
"Holy Healing Technique!"
Holy Light emitted from William's Hammer of Divinity, healing several players injured by demons.
The group walked along the path crushed open by the tanks towards the outskirts of the city, behind them was a city burning fiercely with flames and demons dancing around. After the troops withdrew from the city, several fighter jets flew over the city, dropping numerous cloudburst bombs, turning the entire city into a high-temperature furnace over a thousand degrees, burning demons in the flames, with some demons escaping the city.
No cities occupied by demons can be left intact, a strategy agreed upon by all countries.
The lesson came from the Eagle Alliance, which failed to eliminate the demons in Wanxiong City due to internal chaos, resulting in Wanxiong City being completely occupied by demons.
After the demons took over Wanxiong City, they quickly established magic caves, merging to create incredibly powerful demons, even stronger than winged angels, which even Demon Masters couldn't kill.
The most crucial part was that another world's aura emanated from the magic caves, which connected to another world's magic caves, with Demon Generals attempting to cross over.
Left with no choice, the Eagle Alliance deployed nuclear weapons, reducing Wanxiong City to ashes, destroying the magic caves along with the passage to the other world.
However, the powerful demon merged from millions of demons in Wanxiong City survived the nuclear strike and continues to rampage across the Eagle Alliance, trying to establish a second magic cave.
Since the Wanxiong City incident, all countries worldwide have agreed on one strategy: any city completely occupied by demons must undergo carpet bombing to destroy the majority of demons and prevent the emergence of a second magic cave.
Lu Yu was unaware that the city was bombed after he left. Holding his phone, he flew in the direction of Hua Country and regained satellite location signals upon reaching the city.
He only chose not to leave immediately because he wanted to obtain the Holy Light Cultivation.
After acquiring the Holy Light Cultivation from Donald and seeing the army's arrival and Donald's rescue, he quietly departed.
Lu Yu's feeling now is:
Flying is exhilarating, but returning home is exhausting.
