Even the Variant Star Soul has enemies!
The old man’s final words surprised Lu Yu and left him even more puzzled.
Lu Yu calmed himself and smiled, saying, “I already have many enemies. If you’re referring to those who want to kill me, then adding one or a few more makes no difference.”
“All the enemies I mentioned regarding the mutated star souls,” the old man said seriously. “I originally planned to tell you after you joined the Star Group. But thinking now, China cannot afford to lose you, so consider this a gift I’m giving you. You must have noticed that eight of the nine mutated star souls have already appeared in China. If my guess is correct, the ninth one will definitely appear in China as well. However, have you ever heard of mutated star souls appearing overseas?”
Lu Yu’s heart quickened as he asked, “Are you saying that the mutated star souls appearing in Huaxia and certain foreign star souls are enemies?”
“Not all foreign Star Souls are enemies. In the United States, there have been several individuals possessing Dark Star Souls. These are not classified as Mutant Star Souls. However, after research, the U.S. military discovered that when facing other Star Souls, Dark Star Souls are essentially ordinary Star Souls. But when a Mutant Star Soul and a Dark Star Soul come into contact, the Mutant Star Soul becomes nullified. At that point, only the demonic race’s power, the King’s authority, or special powers like the Venom Dragon Transformation can still be used. If you attempt to use the power of a Mutant Star Soul, your soul energy will be devoured. Moreover, when Dark Star Souls absorb this energy, they can evolve a second Star Soul, specifically developed for the purpose of consumption. This evolved Star Soul can acquire different abilities by absorbing various types of soul energy.”
“This—” Lu Yu was taken aback and said, “I’ve never heard of this before.”
“Not just you, I’m afraid many kings haven’t heard of it either,” said the old man. “It’s not only the Dark Star Soul in America; the Wasteland Star Soul has also appeared in Britain. We haven’t obtained the abilities of the Wasteland Star Soul. If you’re interested, you could try purchasing it through connections from the British military.”
Lu Yu bowed his head in thought and returned to Fanggang with the old man.
The chaos here has not ceased; in many places, flames are already shooting into the sky.
Lei Tao was waiting a thousand meters away.
When he saw the old man and Lu Yu come out at the same time, he sighed in relief and hurried over to report the progress.
After the city of Four Nine was locked down, although the military suppressed two-thirds of the rebellion.
However, after the sky dome was shattered, organizations and armies from various cities that were loyal to families like the Li family began launching fierce attacks on the city of Sijiu.
Therefore, the scale of the war has already engulfed several surrounding cities.
“Lu Yu, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be able to stay with you,” said the old man, nodding toward Lu Yu. “It will take some time to completely eliminate these people’s roots. When it’s over, if you have any questions, feel free to come find me anytime.”
Lu Yu looked at the old man and smiled, “Since you just shared an important piece of information with me, I don’t want to owe you a favor. I can’t possibly deploy all the 100,000 troops from Fanggang City for you, but I can help you eliminate half of the more than 600 people in the core area.”
Upon hearing this, Lei Tao’s face lit up with ecstatic joy as he looked at the old man.
The old man’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, I won’t be polite then. I suppose you can mobilize all the Kings Without Crowns without any problem, right?”
“Okay,” Lu Yu nodded, then walked over to Luo Haotian and the others to whisper something to them.
Luo Haotian and others nodded in agreement.
It’s also quite boring to cultivate inside the treasure pearl.
It’s rare for them to take action this time, so it’s a good chance to get some exercise.
Li Lin and others are strong, but they lack experience and cannot fight to their heart’s content.
“Send someone with me to Fanggang to pick up a person.” Lu Yu smiled, pointing at Huanmo. “He’ll also be temporarily assigned to you for command. I suggest you don’t even think about trying to extract information about me from him, or I’ll turn hostile.”
Lei Tao said excitedly, “He is your avatar. If Mr. Lu is willing to let even Illusory Demon temporarily fall under our command, this war could end at least two days earlier.”
“What about those four figures in black robes?”
The old man examined the figure clad in the most mysterious black cloak. Beneath the dark robe, he could not clearly discern what lay hidden.
But an instinct told him that these people were even more terrifying than Luo Haotian and others.
Perhaps this was the terrifying trump card that Lu Yu had been hiding all along.
“Those four can be forgotten,” Lu Yu said, as he left with the four puppets and Lei Tao.
Luo Haotian and others decided to stay.
…
After returning to Fanggang, Lu Yu summoned Ziyu and the others from the Treasure Pearl, and then selected some of the newly joined warriors to be taken away by Leitao.
Let him finish all of this.
Lu Yu closed his door and entered the starry sky directly.
The chaos in Huaxia has spread throughout the world, and countless eyes have been watching closely.
However, after learning that Lu Yu was the guardian, they dared not act recklessly.
The skeleton auctioned off at the event, known as “Half-Step to Kingship,” was stolen by the puppet he controlled.
Now the bones and the absorption method are both within him.
As for that person, Lu Yu had the puppet throw him outside the city walls; whether he could make it home was up to him now.
The bones inside the crystal coffin appeared somewhat different under the starlight.
The bones absorbed the starlight and began to emit a dazzling glow.
“It’s worth billions, and it would be such a waste if you took it away. Since the money wasn’t obtained legally anyway, you might as well give it to me,” Lu Yu said with a smile, eyeing the skeleton.
“Once I reach ten thousand尊, devouring you will increase my chances of advancing to King by two-tenths,” Lu Yu laughed heartily, as a method proposed by the puppet surfaced in his mind.
Who wouldn’t smile at the thought of getting billions of good things without spending a penny?
This method doesn’t merely absorb the entire skeleton, but also absorbs the skills retained within the bones.
Half a step to becoming a king, in fact, is already very close to being a king.
Although such a powerful individual is still slightly inferior to a king, the most important aspect is that he has already acquired the skills of a king. He only needs to make the final breakthrough.
After leaving the remains in this starry sky, Lu Yu stepped back.
He is now going to find someone to have a serious talk and clarify some things.
“Troubling me time and again, this time you owe me an explanation.” Lu Yu brought twenty Viper King puppets from the Treasure Vault’s pearl. Twenty Rift Heaven King puppets entered the Demon Hunting Plains.
This was already the second time Lu Yu had gone to that palace.
The first time he came, he was alone and was driven away by powerful experts.
This time, it’s different.
What he brought was indeed the real trump card, intended to pressure the master of this palace.
There’s nothing to hide.
When the twenty-one figures appeared above the palace, they all released an extremely terrifying and powerful aura.
Twenty kings’ puppets, whose power is also growing accordingly. Their current aura is becoming even closer to that of a king, and increasingly terrifying.
When these auras instantly enveloped the palace, more than a thousand powerful forces were unleashed within it.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, unable to hide his surprise.
Because at least half of the auras within the palace have reached the level of Ten Thousand Zun, and more than ten royal and royal zun auras have also risen.
Those demonic beings who were constructing the palace roared furiously, yet they all collapsed to the ground, none of them able to move.
Although these presences hadn’t yet reached their peak or fully regained their strength, none of them were any weaker than the puppets he had brought along.
If so many kings were to wage battle here, the earth across tens of thousands of miles might well be torn asunder.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, where the hell did this guy get so much money to revive so many powerful beings. Could it be that he’s truly unlocked the full potential of the War Mode, even capable of resurrecting kings?”
As Lu Yu grows stronger, the war mode is gradually unlocking as well.
His current strength is around six thousand five hundred, and he can resurrect life forms with a maximum strength of approximately seven thousand five hundred.
That would be seventy-five billion Star Spirit Stones and Star Spirit Beads.
Even if a king is valued at ten thousand treasures, the presence of more than ten royal auras here equates to over ten trillion star spirit stones and star spirit pearls.
This number would require the combined wealth of several countries to accumulate.
Then, what exactly qualifies the mysterious guardian here to possess it?
As Lu Yu was thinking, the palace doors had already opened.
Under the protection of thousands of powerful lives, a person clad entirely in heavy armor stepped forward.
The person, wearing heavy armor, was about 1.7 meters tall, indicating that he wasn’t particularly tall to begin with.
The eyes beneath the heavy armor were bright, as if they could see through a person’s heart.
The person spoke up, in standard demonic language: “Mr. Lu, now that you’re here, why don’t you come down and talk? It’s quite tiring for me to keep looking up like this.”
Lu Yu hovered midair, scanning the people gathered around the heavily armored figure below. Within the crowd, he spotted the Unknighted King who had once led the assault against him, as well as the mysterious king and the towering giant clad in armor.
“I never expected that so many kings, and even King Zun, would actually be willing to listen to you. I really don’t know where their dignity has gone!”
Lu Yu snorted coldly, showing great disdain.
Dozens of sharp and fierce gazes stabbed towards Lu Yu all at once.
The armored man chuckled, “Someone came here once a long time ago. My men failed to capture them. I suppose that person was you, right?”
“That’s right.” Lu Yu descended to the ground along with twenty puppets, facing off against the armored figure from a distance of over ten meters. He said, “You’ve tried several times to take my life. I think it’s about time I found out who you are, don’t you agree?”
“It must have been that guy, Lei Xiaohu. That was the first time I used an outsider, and you caught me right away. It seems I can’t use him anymore.” The heavily armored man laughed and said, “Mr. Lu, have you come here to confront me with accusations, or do you just want to start a fight directly?”
“I want to know what grudge I have with you?”
“There’s no hatred between us,” said the armored figure. “As fellow Guardians, only one of us can survive. Among all the Guardians in this world, you are the greatest threat to me. I must kill you first!”
“Do you think you can kill me?” Lu Yu scoffed coldly. “You have quite a few men here, but it’s still not enough to take me down.”
A towering man clad in heavy armor stepped forward, sneering coldly, “Daring to ignore us! There was no decisive outcome in the battle at Sijiu City, so you want to settle it here?”
The masked figure, his voice now cold and menacing, said at this moment: “I alone am enough. Lu Yu, have you come here to die?”
“Haha,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “You’re kidding, right? The fact that I’m here means you definitely can’t stop me from leaving. If war breaks out, I truly won’t fear you at all. However, I’m just curious about how you managed to resurrect such a king. It probably took no less than ten trillion to revive them. I suppose you wouldn’t mind telling me about it, would you?”
The heavily armored man heard this and immediately laughed, saying, “Mr. Lu, come on, stop joking around. If you came here, even you wouldn’t be able to leave. You still want to ask me these questions—don’t you think that’s a bit too ridiculous?”
“No,” Lu Yu smiled. “Since I’m here, I’m sure I can get the answer. Otherwise, we can just start fighting. I wonder how many people you’ll lose before you decide to talk.”
Cold light shot from Lu Yu’s eyes.
The armored man felt a tremor in his heart and hesitated slightly, stunned.
