Fan Tian Luo was astonished, even shocked to the point of his mind ringing, feeling his heartbeat intensifying.
After becoming King Zun, he learned a great deal about destruction.
Especially the terror of the Doomsday Tide.
It’s still possible to find a way to survive through the darkness. But if the apocalypse tide comes, that will be a different story.
Once the Doomsday Tide appears, it signifies that all civilizations and all forms of life must perish.
No matter how long the apocalypse tide lasts, it will not end until it destroys the last living being.
In the end, all that remains for future generations is a pile of ruins and fragmented records.
Fan Tien Luo had already witnessed the Descent of Darkness and understood the terror of darkness. Yet, the Doomsday Tide was unimaginably more horrifying and powerful than the Descent of Darkness!
“The End Times Tide, it’s actually the era of the End Times Tide. This is going to end all life,” Brahma Lo looked at Lu Yu solemnly and asked, “You’re talking about the End Times Tide, not the Dark Descent?”
Lu Yu nodded solemnly and said, “That’s right, it’s the End-Tide. And it’s coming quickly—already, more than thirty Kings have awakened and reached the power of ten thousand sovereigns. I believe that within a few decades, once two Kings return to their thrones, the first wave of the End-Tide will be unleashed.”
“I thought I could let Huowu live a carefree life, but I never expected her to end up in an era like this.” Looking at the distant stars, Fantian Luo continued, “Since we can’t avoid it, then let’s give it a try. Tell me, how confident are you that you can survive the first wave of the apocalypse?”
“Absolutely capable of withstanding the first wave!” Lu Yu declared proudly. “The first wave of the apocalypse couldn’t even breach my city. I may not know exactly how terrifying this wave of the apocalypse will be, but I can guarantee that the first wave poses no threat to my city. As for the subsequent waves, since I don’t fully understand what they will be like, I dare not make any promises!”
Fan Tian Luo laughed loudly and said, “Kid, you’re too arrogant. Do you even know about the first wave of the Doomsday Tide—the Descent of Darkness? Have you truly witnessed it to be so confident in your ability to stop it? In my time, the Descent of Darkness alone was enough to engulf the entire royal capital. How strong is your city, really, that you dare to claim it can withstand the first wave of the Descent of Darkness?”
“Senior, I never joke,” Lu Yu said solemnly. “I can guarantee with one hundred percent certainty that the first wave of the apocalypse tide won’t even breach the outermost defenses of my city.”
“Huh!”
Fan Tianluo was taken aback. Seeing that Lu Yu didn’t seem to be joking, his smile suddenly faded as he asked, “You’re serious?”
Fan Tian Luo did not look down upon Lu Yu.
Although he had not experienced the devastating power of the apocalypse tide firsthand, he clearly understood its first wave—the descent into darkness. In a typical era, even just this initial plunge into darkness was enough to destroy one civilization after another.
Then what awaits them afterward is a force that will destroy everything.
However, Brahmanara’s instinct as a powerful cultivator told him that this young man in front of him was no ordinary individual.
At the very least, he can become a Guardian, so his strength shouldn’t be too weak.
But he learned from Lu Yu that this era had only been in the post-apocalyptic period for a few decades, and he didn’t believe Lu Yu would have the capability to withstand the apocalyptic tide during this time.
Fan Tian Luo said, “Let’s hear it—what can guarantee that your city will withstand the first wave of the apocalypse? If you can’t deliver, you have no right to talk about protecting your loved ones. Do you even realize that even the royal city dares not claim to defeat the Descent of Darkness, and even kings struggle to survive during the Descent of Darkness? You are neither king nor royal heir—on what basis do you make such claims?”
Confidence is useless.
What the end times demand is strength.
Because in Fan Tian Luo’s eyes, no matter how powerful Lu Yu’s strength might be, it still had not reached the level of a King or King Sovereign.
The Guardian possesses formidable strength capable of rivaling the King.
However, with the descent of darkness, even the royal capital could not withstand it.
He witnessed with his own eyes the royal city of the king of their era being devoured by darkness, and then, within dozens of minutes, it turned to ashes, with the king himself also consumed by the darkness.
If even the king couldn’t stop him, what makes his guardians think they stand a chance!
“My city is enough,” Lu Yu said without anger. He knew this was Fan Tianluo’s concern, worrying about the safety of his daughter.
“Young man, don’t talk big. You haven’t experienced the apocalypse tide, so you don’t know its terror. I don’t blame you,” laughed Fantian Luo. “A strong person should have pride, but must not be arrogant, or it will only lead to your downfall.”
Lu Yu said earnestly, “Senior, I’m not being arrogant; I truly believe I can.”
Fan Tian Luo said, “Then tell me, on what basis do you say that?”
“Have you heard of the term ‘Domain’ before, senior?”
“Domain!” When Brahma Rao heard these two words, his eyes instantly sparkled with intense light, and he exclaimed in surprise: “Are you referring to that domain which covers everything?”
“That’s right,” Lu Yu nodded. “I happen to possess a domain. I think this should be enough!”
“Hiss.” Fan Tianluo’s smile faded, and he said seriously, “How high is your domain level? Back in my time, that King also possessed a domain. His ninth-level domain had reached its limit, yet even three hundred thousand defense towers couldn’t stop the Dark Tide. If yours hasn’t even reached that level, you don’t even need to mention resistance.”
Fan Tian Luo was also a King Venerable, fully aware of the difficulties in establishing a domain.
Even a King would find it extremely difficult to gather such a vast amount of spirit stones. In a mere few decades of an apocalypse, how much wealth could one, even if they were a King, accumulate to use on their domain?
Lu Yu replied, “The domain has already reached the maximum level, level nine. As for the number of defensive towers, it has also reached its peak state; all one million towers have been constructed!”
“What? What are you talking about?” Fan Tianluo was greatly shocked and exclaimed in surprise, “You’re saying that all one million defense towers have been completed? Where on earth did you get so many Star Spirit Stones? Do you even know how much one million defense towers are worth?”
“Senior, I’m not lying to you,” said Lu Yu. “Not only have a million defense towers been built, but I have also completed the Core Domain, the First Domain, and the Second Domain. Right now, I am fully focused on forging the Domain Guardians.”
“You, you—” Bhairava stammered, too shocked to speak.
He stared at Lu Yu in shock and said, “You’re saying you’ve completed all three layers of the domain. Are you kidding me?”
This time, Fan Tien Luo was genuinely shocked, looking at Lu Yu with a dazed expression.
“It’s impossible! How could all three layers be completed already?” Fan Tianluo couldn’t believe it.
Such things can’t be believed at all.
In the history since its first appearance, the field has been fully established absolutely no more than three times.
That amount is not counted in hundreds of billions of spirit stones, but rather in countless spirit stone mines stacked upon each other.
Could a person possibly accumulate such immense wealth?
Even a king, possessing hundreds of thousands of meters-high Star Spirit mines, would be considered the wealthiest in an era.
And these are used to build a domain? They’re not even close to enough.
Just like the King he knew, who consumed dozens of three-thousand-meter-high Spirit Star mines, yet managed to construct only up to a ninth-level domain, with three hundred thousand defensive structures built.
But he never imagined that the young man before him could establish a complete domain.
“Take me out and show me. Don’t lie to me,” Fan Tianluo forced himself to stay calm and insisted on verifying it himself!
As the two individuals stepped out of the starry sky, Fan Tianluo was forcibly transported outside the core realm.
Fan Tianluo stood in his place, silent for a long time.
When he saw Lu Yu come out, he said, “Take me to the city wall of the First Domain.”
Only a small portion of the distant, towering city wall was faintly visible, and Fan Tian Luo wanted to get a closer look.
Lu Yu didn’t say anything. He led Fantian Luo toward the city wall of the First Domain.
Many people saw Lu Yu and instinctively stepped aside to clear the way.
To Brahma Lo’s surprise, among them were two experts with power close to ten thousand zuns, nearly reaching the level of Sovereign, who actually made way for Lu Yu.
He could tell that it wasn’t fear of Lu Yu’s power, but fear of Lu Yu himself.
“What was your strength before you became weak?”
“Seven thousand five hundred statues!” Lu Yu thought for a moment and then replied.
Fan Tiano looked at Lu Yu seriously and asked, “Really only seven thousand five hundred statues?”
The difference between seven thousand five hundred and nine thousand was fifteen hundred, a gap large enough to be fatal for ordinary warriors.
If these people are still afraid of Lu Yu despite such a gap, then this young man in front of them is likely no ordinary individual.
“Senior, I never intended to deceive you,” Lu Yu said with a bitter smile. “There are indeed only seven thousand five hundred.”
Fan Tien Lo stopped asking questions. However, he was quite astonished.
A supreme expert with the strength of seventy-five thousand zuns makes warriors of ten thousand zuns fear him. The young man in front is no ordinary individual.
All the way down, he could see shops standing one after another and high-rise buildings as thick as a forest.
The street is wide and bustling with a steady flow of people.
The city looks so serene, as if it had never experienced the ravages of war.
The more so, the more surprised Brahma Rao became.
Even the king cannot build a capital city in this land.
The city wall ahead became increasingly clear, and he also saw the domain guardians—statue-like figures seamlessly merged with the wall.
Fan Tian Luo recognized it at first glance, inhaling sharply through his teeth. “The first realm is completed. According to legend, only after completing the first realm can one forge a realm guardian using a Star Spirit Stone or a Blue Planet Soul, just as recorded. You used the Blue Planet Soul—actually used the Blue Planet Soul to create a realm guardian! How much wealth do you really have?”
For the first time, Fan Tien Loa was so surprised that he didn’t need to look further.
The wealth of the person who could build a city like this is beyond calculation.
“Senior, as the father of Huo Wu, I don’t want to hide anything from you,” Lu Yu said earnestly. “Right now, I have about three trillion Star Spirit Stones and Star Spirit Pearls, along with several thousand Blue Star Souls. These are just the items I currently carry on me. Additionally, this city generates substantial daily profits, which I estimate can be exchanged for roughly another five hundred billion Star Spirit Stones.”
Brahma Luo felt his mouth go dry, as if his ears had been struck by a thunderclap.
“You… you built this entire city, and you have three trillion Star Spirit Stones and thousands of Blue Star Souls?” Fan Tianluo couldn’t believe his ears.
A person who has died once can also be said to have experienced countless storms.
But even now, I was still startled.
Brahma Rao could no longer calm himself; he stared at Lu Yu, somewhat dazed, and finally managed to steady his wildly pounding heart. He said, “Even if you have so much money, those funds aren’t necessarily your influence, nor are they your true strength. If you want to withstand the apocalypse tide, what kind of abilities can you tell me about?放心，你认为隐秘的可以不说，我也不勉强你。但至少你要有一种能力要让我认可。”

But at the very least, you must possess one ability that I can acknowledge.'”
