Chapter 245: A New Enemy

Lulu the sand worm flapped its newly grown wings, darting behind the Sand Dune King at incredible speed.

“Get lost!” The Sand Dune King’s tail suddenly swept back, unleashing a terrifying energy shock that directly repelled it. The Sand Dune King didn’t bother further with Lulu’s harassment. As Zhanyue was about to strike the Millennium Tower with his sword, the king intercepted him.

The king raised the golden scepter, and a beam of golden light shot out. Zhanyue nimbly dodged, but where the light touched, the disaster beast fish school seemed to appear as if teleported, devouring everything around.

Zhanyue’s eyes widened. The Sand Dune King still had reserved techniques – he could instantly transport those disaster beasts?

At this moment, Yunyao also broke free from her pursuers and approached the Millennium Tower from above.

“Bastards! You all deserve to die!” The Sand Dune King hurriedly chased after her, blocking Yunyao’s attack.

Thus, Zhanyue and Yunyao continuously attacked the Millennium Tower, while the Sand Dune King intercepted from both sides. However, the Millennium Tower still suffered many impacts from the battle’s aftermath.

Amidst the melee, the Sand Dune King finally adjusted his position, shielding the Millennium Tower behind him. All the disaster beasts also stopped attacking and instead surrounded and protected the tower.

“Again!” Zhanyue and Yunyao attacked simultaneously from the left and right. The Sand Dune King could only block one, leaving the other side to the disaster beasts’ defense.

During the stalemate, a figure darted out from the Millennium Tower. It was Lulu the sand worm, who had somehow burrowed into the tower from underground and climbed up from the bottom, appearing silently behind the Sand Dune King.

Lulu spat out a needle-like proboscis from its mouth, directly piercing the Sand Dune King’s neck. Then its entire body firmly embraced the king, as if they had fused into one. No matter how the Sand Dune King struggled, he couldn’t shake off Lulu. He could feel his flesh and power being continuously absorbed by Lulu.

“Ahhhhh!” Like the previous Desert Worm Clan matriarch, he let out an agonized wail, then began to struggle frantically. The golden scepter in his hand swung wildly, striking his own body, as he crashed around like a headless fly.

“This...” Zhanyue and Yunyao dealt with the disaster beast fish school while observing this scene, unsure how to intervene now.

Lulu chuckled, “As expected of celestial beings, so clever! Please leave your lives here to help me devour and evolve, transcending realms.”

Yunyao’s face turned cold. This inconspicuous insect that had been so polite and respectful before was now so arrogant. It seemed that after absorbing the insect Clan matriarch and the Sand Dune King, not only its power had inflated.

“You’re courting death!” Yunyao swung her sword, sending out a blade of energy.

“Hehehe.” Lulu suddenly waved the golden scepter, dissipating the sword energy.

It clenched its left hand, then looked at the scepter in its right hand. “So this is the feeling of possessing great power? This is the feeling of wielding authority? Hahaha!”

The golden scepter burst with light, and soon, the departed disaster beasts were summoned back. This time, however, it was Lulu summoning them.

“Unlike the Sand Dune King, I won’t lose my life over a broken tower. I know you’re both strong, but now, are you two still a match for me and the disaster beast combined?” Lulu smiled.

Zhanyue and Yunyao exchanged glances, both feeling the situation had become tricky. Before, it was three against two; now it had become two against two, and Lulu’s strength now surpassed the Sand Dune King’s.

“Is that Elder Lulu? I recognize him. He was originally the youngest elder of our Sand Worm Clan,” someone from the Sand Worm Clan below said.

“Everyone, these two harbor ill intentions. They tricked me terribly. To make you break free from control and help them deal with the Sand Dune King, they even killed our Clan’s matriarch. Now that I’ve gained new power and control over the disaster beast, I can surely restore the oasis to its original prosperity and peace. But before that, please join me in opposing these two outsiders. You wouldn’t want to see them leave with the Life-Nurturing Soil, would you?” Lulu said.

Many people below were half-believing Lulu’s words, but upon hearing about the Life-Nurturing Soil, they all became anxious instantly.

“What? They’re taking away the Life-Nurturing Soil? What will we do? No, we can’t let them leave. Even the cruel Sand Dune King didn’t...”
