CHAPTER 561: 561. GRILLED LOBSTER

Rang Duo had never expected that the three Star Seeds would fall so swiftly.

Dressed in the Neutron Star Battle Armor, with the assistance of a smart brain, and still three against one, they were disabled in less than five seconds.

Especially since Lu Li appeared to have handled it with ease, he hadn’t even exerted his full strength!

Already chilled to the bone with fear, Rang Duo’s terror rose to new heights when he saw the foe look towards him.

Driven uncontrollably by the innate survival instinct of a sentient species, it twisted its head and ran away.

Controlling the host’s acupoints to gush out Fusion Energy, transformed into multiple Fusion Engines, its speed was indeed not slow.

To Lu Li’s eyes, however, this set of actions seemed as sluggish as an 80-year-old elder.

With just a lift of his hand and a clench, a semi-transparent dragon’s maw slammed shut, clamping down on Rang Duo entirely.

Rang Duo struggled fiercely, yet the dragon’s head emitted the golden light of an Immortal Will, firmly restraining it and bringing it before its master.

Lu Li stimulated his Divine Thought to probe and scan, quickly spotting an abnormal black shadow in the head of the "Zhang Hui" corpse.

"Please excuse my impudence."

Lu Li’s fingers shaped like a knife, flaring up the Immortal Golden Flame, ready to open the skull right there and then.

However, "Zhang Hui’s" mouth opened on its own, suddenly shooting out something that lunged at Lu Li’s face.

It was a creature resembling a "lobster," its chitinous exterior dark and reflective of a metallic cold light.

Lu Li casually caught it; the lobster’s pincers whirred at high speeds like drills against his hand, sparking "Immortal Golden Flame" sparks in all directions!

If it had been an ordinary Martial Saint from Suzhou, there was a real chance they’d be breached, allowing the creature to burrow inside.

But Lu Li’s "Immortal Golden Flame" was a thick layer of one foot and two inches, and after half a day of drilling, the lobster only managed to break the surface. Shortly after, its head was crushed flat.

Rang Duo’s mouth, split into three parts, let out a silent scream, its brains oozing out.

Lu Li, smelling something sweet and appetizing, thought that the lobster in his hand looked quite delicious?

His body was alerting his brain through the subconscious—this creature is highly nourishing, eat it quickly!

Just like how people instinctively know to drink water when thirsty, the body autonomously identifies urgently needed nutrients.

The Immortal Palace had been watching the battle closely and, noticing Lu Li’s gaze, immediately said:

[Humans are omnivores, they should naturally consume delicacies from mountains and seas to diversify their nutritional intake as much as possible.]

[The "Resident Demon" in your hand is an alien beast containing unique nutrients from another universe, which will certainly greatly benefit your body.]

Lu Li nodded in agreement, planning to have an extra meal later, but first, there were other matters to attend to.

The remains of "Zhang Hui" stood idly by, gazing blankly ahead.

Lu Li reached out to close the corpse’s eyes, then inquired of the Immortal Palace, "How should we lay to rest the remains of this senior?"

The unchanged visage of the departed moved the Immortal Palace profoundly, eliciting a deep sigh:

[Shaohao regarded him as his successor, thus bestowing Jupiter upon him... Just send the remains into Jupiter.]

When the Sun’s life expectancy is exhausted and the Supernova explodes, Jupiter, with its largest mass, will inevitably receive the majority of the matter.

And being a gas giant, it can easily ignite nuclear fusion, turning into a new Sun to pass on the torch.

Lu Li bowed thrice towards the remains, saying:

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance. ’Elemental Magnetic Divine Thunder’ has benefited me immensely. I will bear the future responsibilities. Please rest in peace."

Having said that, he pushed the remains towards Jupiter.

Whether it was an illusion or not, the face of the remains seemed much more at peace, slowly descending into the vast and radiant planet.

At that moment, Qiu Sheng, Himiko, and Xiao Cha, among other women, all turned to watch, paying their respects.

Lu Li suddenly said, "Since it’s a funeral, how can we be without offerings?"

He looked toward the four alien warships, swung his arm fiercely, allowing them to scatter parts and alien corpses as they plummeted towards Jupiter.

At 30,000 degrees of heat and 2 million atmospheres of pressure, the warships turned into four fiery meteors, vanishing in the liquid hydrogen ocean.

But this could only count as "incense candles"; a "Living Sacrifice" was still needed.

Conveniently, there were quite a few surviving crew members on the warships.

Lu Li’s eyes blazed with starlight, and torrents of Divine Thought surged forth, capturing all the survivors and hurling them into Jupiter.

Meanwhile, he himself drew Reynolds and his trio over.

The Neutron Star Battle Armor on the three of them wasn’t just for show, they were still hanging on to their last breath.

"Spare us, spare us, I’m willing to pay a heavy price..."

Reynolds tried to bargain, but Lu Li couldn’t be bothered to pay attention and drew his Shadow Painting Sword to behead the three of them.

At this time, Li Yuanzhong and others also connected.

Seeing Lu Li performing a Living Sacrifice, they hurriedly bowed three times towards Jupiter, paying homage to the pioneer.

Lu Li threw the three corpses into Jupiter as well, leaving a noticeable emptiness in space, with only the "Rang Duo" remaining in his hand.

Lu Li held it high, allowing a dragon head to spout Fusion Energy, roasting it on the spot.

The lobster struggled fiercely, and it wasn’t until half a minute later that it lay still, its black shell turning red.

The aroma was overwhelming, and Lu Li plucked the lobster’s head off, peeled its shell, and revealed the tender white flesh, gleaming like jade.

The aroma peaked, and those observing through Divine Thought could feel it too, their uncontrollable saliva flowing freely.

Lu Li didn’t rush to eat, but instead placed the lobster before Jupiter as an offering and bowed three times.

Eating the offering also known as "drinking fortune," symbolized bringing good luck.

Lu Li didn’t stand on ceremony, and while it was still hot, he tore off some of the shrimp meat and ate it.

The smooth, fresh flavor shot straight to his crown, and Lu Li involuntarily closed his eyes to savor it.

The flesh of this "Resident Demon" was the most delicious food he had ever tasted, bar none.

Besides its taste, the meat also contained nutrients unique to another universe, excellent for nourishment, especially when used for the first time.

Lu Li immediately felt his body’s cells grow stronger, and the strength of his Immortal Will spontaneously increased by 5%!

Lu Li was overjoyed, "Truly magical!"

Martial Saint’s bursting power in space was exceptionally strong, but it also placed a significant burden on the body, so strengthening his physique was more than welcome.

And all his actions were captured by the live broadcast drone brought by Reynolds.

This device was only the size of a basketball and was always in operation.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream had reached 15 billion.

Witnessing their four Star Seeds being brutally killed, with one even roasted and eaten, the viewers erupted in endless curses.

The pain and hatred of 15 billion people surged like a dark tide, representing the rolling force of Evil Power.

"Annihilation" was immediately excited and stretched its neck to reach for it.

With a thought from Lu Li, he allowed it to fully materialize and devoured it greedily.

Although numerous, these emotions were based on anger, lacking fear, and despair.

The purity of the Evil Power was average, totaling only three billion.

But even so, that amount was still counted in billions!

After Heart Image had consumed it, its body length grew from 850 meters to almost one kilometer!

However, due to the lack of purity in the Evil Power, it did not trigger the effect of Spirit Realm Exploration as it had on "Second Blue Star."

Lu Li did not feel disappointed because the enemies were not limited to just these few.

At this moment, more than 90 warships had crossed the "Solar Sphere" and entered their own Star System.

With such a large-scale invasion, the Immortal Palace naturally discovered it and immediately cautioned:

[You have formidable strength in space, but do not be overly complacent.]

[Also, don’t go any further, otherwise if something happens, the Sun will not be able to save you in time.]

"Okay, I got it."

Lu Li nodded in acknowledgment and then said to the spectators:

"After I finish off this bunch, I’ll bring you some meat to try as well, it’s quite tasty."
