Wangcheng –
There, an expedition of a hundred explorers was swallowed, including two Zun.
Although some people returned alive, the danger there had already spread throughout the United States.
It already takes a great deal of effort just to get there.
At this moment, anyone who dares to come alone is either a truly powerful individual or someone who overestimates their own abilities!
But the person before him was certainly not someone who overestimated their own abilities.
Then daring to be alone, the person’s strength must be extremely terrifying!
The black man’s respect is an acknowledgment of Lu Yu’s strength!
Moreover, the explorers did not reveal what exactly was hidden within the royal city.
The mere information alone is worth a price of one hundred million spirit stones and a thousand bodies of demon lords, which is certainly not something an individual can casually come up with.
Now, many organizations in the United States have already reached out to the explorers, hoping to obtain specific information about the royal city in advance.
The explorer refused and insisted on waiting for the right moment.
Even setting conditions that make it impossible for ordinary organizations to enter the transaction.
Even the United States can enter only five or six organizations.
Lu Yu is of Huaxia descent, so if he managed to enter the transaction, the power behind him must be no weaker than the five organizations in the United States!
With such an organization, he became even more cautious and dared not to neglect it.
Lu Yu, seeing how fluently the black man spoke Chinese, nodded and signaled to him, saying, “I think you should know the way to the United States. Take me there, and I promise you won’t be treated poorly!”
“This—”
The black man stood there, stunned, and reluctantly turned to his companion behind him, saying, “This counts as leaving my post without permission; I can’t explain this to our leader.”
Lu Yu did not pressure the black man, saying, “Where is your leader? You may go ask for instructions. I only need you to guide me temporarily; I won’t cause you any trouble.”
Lu Yu was very courteous, without the slightest hint of an overbearing demeanor.
This made more than a dozen soldiers feel somewhat surprised.
In the past, whenever they saw the Sovereign, who among them was not aloof and arrogant, looking down from a great height?
They were seeing a Supreme like Lu Yu for the first time, which naturally sparked a bit more liking towards him.
The black man turned around and exchanged a few words with the Half-Zhizun. Without any hesitation, the white Half-Zhizun nodded in agreement.
The black man then turned to Lu Yu, his face lighting up with joy. “My captain has agreed. If there are any issues, he will explain them to the chief. Sir, I can take you to America.”
“Thank you,” Lu Yu said, pulling out a Starlight coin and tossing it to the black man. “This is your payment; I think it’s enough to cover your efforts this time.”
“Oh.” The black man took Xinghua, slightly stunned, and asked, “What is this?”
Now, the yield of Xinghua is still not very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even see this item, which just feels very valuable when held in one’s hand.
The black man didn’t know how to use it, though.
Lu Yu explained, “Once you become a Star Lord and absorb it, it can help you reach the pinnacle of Star Lord cultivation.”
“Oh my God, am I seeing this right?” The black man looked at Xinghua, his wide eyes almost popping out as he stared at him. “This… this is Xinghua!”
Nowadays, people in this world have surely heard of it, even if they haven’t seen it with their own eyes.
During this period, Xinghua’s special effects had become widely known.
Its value is something that makes people envious and covetous.
However, it is rumored that Xinghua exists in only one place throughout the entire world, and to this day, there has been only one attempt by someone to seek it out, with no survivors returning.
The output of Starlight has never been high to begin with, and with the large numbers of Star Lords and Demon Lords around the world, the situation is even worse.
It has become a rare and precious resource that people are eagerly pursuing. Even their leader once traveled to Huaxia, solely to trade for a few pieces of Starlight!
How many people long to obtain even a single one but cannot find a way? Yet now, the Supreme One before him simply waved a hand and gifted him a piece!
The black giant examined him carefully, he looked too much like Xing Hua as described in the rumors.
He believed that Zhi Zun would not deceive him.
The black man gripped Xing Hua tightly and said excitedly, “Don’t worry, I will definitely take you to Huafu.”
The black man pointed in a direction and said, “Teleport that way, and you’ll soon see land.”
“Alright!” Lu Yu gripped the black man’s shoulder firmly, and together they stepped into the dark void.
Lu Yu’s teleportation this time covered a longer distance.
With someone leading the way, Lu Yu didn’t need to perform multiple short-distance teleports and wasn’t afraid of losing his direction.
After four teleportations, Lu Yu arrived on a beach with the black man.
The black man checked the direction and pointed towards the northeast, saying, “Teleporting in that direction should be fine.”
Lu Yu nodded and teleported again with the black man.
After two transmissions—
Lu Yu and the black man had already arrived in a city.
In front of Lu Yu was a winding river that meandered through the city.
The city was not severely damaged, except for some cracks in the ground, and most of the buildings remained intact.
Here, there is even a rare absence of bloodshed; it is as peaceful as a tranquil city that has never experienced the ravages of war!
The streets bustled with an endless flow of people, where demons and humans mingled together in perfect tranquility.
However, what caught Lu Yu’s attention was the other side of the river. The sky on that side was a fiery red.
In the center of the city on the other side, a crater towering over a thousand meters high was spewing out streams of scorching hot magma.
The heat from the magma is exactly what caused the sky to turn red.
The buildings around the volcano looked as if they had been spewed out by lava, covered with thick layers of solidified rock from cooled magma.
The volcano is no more than ten kilometers away from the river. Standing on this side of the river, one could clearly see large numbers of creatures entering and exiting the crater.
Above the crater, the Supreme One with demon wings kept flying past, like loyal guards on patrol.
The black man looked toward the direction of the crater, his voice trembling as he said, “That is the territory of the King of Hell. When the apocalypse arrived, the volcano rose from beneath the earth, and all life in that district was swallowed by lava. Since the appearance of the Sovereigns, any human stepping within ten thousand meters of the volcano would surely die! I’ve seen it with my own eyes—a human who had become a Sovereign attempted to challenge the Hell King’s heir, only to be torn apart alive by one of the heir’s subordinates in a single move.”
“Isn’t the king’s dignity untouchable?” Lu Yu snorted coldly and said, “Take me to the transaction site; I have no interest in anything else.”
The black man looked at Lu Yu in surprise and nodded immediately, saying, “That’s in a villa outside the capital city. I heard many people have come. However, those who don’t meet the required strength aren’t allowed in. At the very least, one must possess the power of three Zun to qualify as a Supreme.”
The more Lu Yu appeared indifferent to his surroundings, the more mysterious and powerful he seemed to the black man.
While explaining, the black man also showed some longing, but more notably, a sense of fear.
There, in the not-too-distant future, the strongest individuals from around the world will gather.
Even thinking about it makes one feel excited.
Following closely beside this supreme being, if I could truly step inside and witness a gathering of the strongest individuals in this world, then my life would not have been lived in vain.
After entering the city, there is no need to use teleportation anymore.
A black man led the way, and the two of them swiftly dashed through the streets.
As the two were about to leave the river, deep within a volcano at the river’s other end, a human figure opened its eyes.
This is a very young and seemingly immature face. Yet, on this face and in his eyes, there is a depth far beyond his age.
Within the flames beside him, dozens of eyes opened in unison.
Rarely would he move from where their king had returned.
This time, they sensed some different ideological vibrations.
The young man rose from the flames, his eyes exuding an endless, piercing aura of overlordship as he declared, “He’s here!”
“King, are you going as well?” A figure in the sea of flames asked with utmost respect, “Shall we accompany and protect you!”
“No need.” The young man leaped out of the volcano in one step, and the pitch-black flames behind him transformed into a pair of ten-zhang-long black wings, carrying him soaring into the sky.
…
Lu Yu walked through the streets and saw people of different skin colors and from various countries.
Due to the influence of the royal city, powerful individuals from various regions have begun to gather here.
Some people had the same goal as Lu Yu, and when they saw Lu Yu and the black man heading in the same direction, they couldn’t help but feel hostile.
Heading towards the outskirts of Huafu, the buildings became sparser, yet more and more people were gathering here.
Some are small teams of more than ten people, while others are large groups of dozens.
Of course, many of them came alone.
When arriving at the outskirts of Washington, behind a path in the dense forest, there stood a large villa resembling an ancient architectural style. Or perhaps it had once been a manor, as some of the surrounding decorations still retained traces of antiquity.
There is a garden in front of the villa and a swimming pool at the back.
Before the villa stood a large iron gate. Anyone who wanted to enter had to pass through here, where their identity and capabilities were verified before being allowed to proceed.
There were many members of the organization who arrived earlier than Lu Yu.
However, many organizations have been stopped here.
Many organizations were dissatisfied and attempted to force their way through.
However, the experts who had already entered were releasing terrifying pressure, making those people feel as if they had fallen into hell.
In this era, strength is power!
Faced with the overwhelming battle intent and killing aura released by the Supreme Being, the weak could hardly withstand it and began to bow their heads and retreat one by one.
At that very moment, a loud whistling sound erupted from the sky.
A figure in a robe descended from the sky, its ten-zhang-long black wings quivering, and flew directly into the manor estate without even passing through the main gate!
Many powerful figures who had passed through the gate turned their gazes toward the figure at this moment.
There is dissatisfaction, as well as indignation.
Someone scoffed coldly, “Friend, it seems no one can just walk in like this this time.”
Many people standing outside the manor pointed at the figure and shouted loudly as soon as they saw him, “Why is he allowed to go in directly?”
“Hmph!”
A cold figure muttered a single word from the depths of his throat and, ignoring the others, strode directly into the villa.
Some people were even more dissatisfied, but before they could speak up, they were stopped by someone nearby.
“Don’t mess around, that’s the King of Hell.”
“Hiss!”
Gasps of cold air echoed all around.
Pair after pair of eyes were filled with envy and awe.
It’s said that the heir to the King of Hell is very young, and I never expected it to actually be true.
Moreover, it is said that the King of Hell possesses more than ten thousand supreme and loyal warriors. Once the heir to the throne becomes the King, he will sweep across the world and become the true ruler who unifies and commands all under heaven.
Ten thousand supreme subordinates—the sheer number alone is enough to make anyone tremble with fear!
“This is the King of Hell? He’s so young,” she murmured in disbelief.
“Heavens, I can’t sense even the slightest trace of Supreme Qi from him—actually, I can’t sense anything at all. Could it be that he’s already grown so powerful that he’s completely severed our perception of him?”
“He is extremely powerful. I heard from a friend who brought news from Huaxia that even a small piece of flesh from the King of Hell was enough to suppress the top expert in Huaxia!”
“That’s not right. I heard that the expert actually shattered the Hell King’s illusionary form. If it weren’t for the Hell King’s subordinates pleading for mercy, that bit of flesh and blood would have certainly fallen into the opponent’s hands.”
“You guys mentioned it, and I seem to recall now. That person was unmatched in Huaxia. Back then, even when he was only half a Zunzhi, he managed to kill a Zunzhi with nine Zun powers. If that person also comes, I wonder who will ultimately claim what’s in the King City!”
The Half-Sovereign beheaded the Sovereign who possessed the power of nine Sovereigns.
This statement caused complete silence all around, with absolutely few people believing it!
