Chapter 596: The Great Battle (1)

Lin Zifeng felt like he was about to break down.

I really shouldn’t have brought these little ancestors here to Fanggang.

Are the young people these days all so fearless? Can’t you have fun without risking your lives?

He had just blocked the young man’s attack, so how come another one appeared now?

You’re asking for it, you guys!

Lu Yu looked at the girl, whose face immediately turned red, and she became unconsciously flustered.

“How long has the Star Soul Awakened been active?” asked Lu Yu.

“Two, two days!” When asked about the Star Soul, the young girl immediately raised her head confidently and answered with a small chest puffed out, though it had not yet fully developed.

Lu Yu nodded and said, “Becoming a fifth-level Star Soul in just two days isn’t slow at all. However, you’re not my match right now. If you truly have the confidence to challenge me, wait until you reach the Sovereign level—I’ll give you a chance then.” Lu Yu walked past the young girl and said, “Right now, I don’t have much time to waste. Don’t disturb me.”

“If you feel confident, come find me. I’ll hold back my strength and fight you.”

Lu Yu took long strides and quickly moved forward dozens of steps, rushing toward the monster that had lunged out from a patch of grass.

Several young men and women looked at Zhang Xiaoyu with admiration. Not everyone had the courage to dare challenge Lu Yu.

Even Lin Zifeng couldn’t help but show a surprised and delighted expression on his face.

Lu Yu had walked quite a distance when Lin Zifeng’s expression finally turned to shock. “It seems the rumors were true after all,” he murmured.

“Is something wrong, Uncle Lin?” Zhang Xiaoyu asked.

“The army in Fanggang is gathering strength, and some say there may be a war among the Guardians soon. Now that Lu Yu speaks of it, we can be even more certain—it’s true,” Lin Zifeng said seriously. “We should return to our base and report this information back.”

The ten-day period of weakness has passed.

Lu Yu, under the starry sky, once again endured the pain of muscle tearing.

“The Shapeshifting Star Soul evolution has begun, with an evolution progress of ten percent!”

“Star Soul Body Refining Technique has reached 0.8 per thousand!”

“Haha!”

Lu Yu looked at the changing attributes of the God of War Star Soul and couldn’t help but burst into a delighted laugh.

Transmutation: Once you have evolved a life form or any item into a semi-star artifact through the power of hunting, you continue to hunt in order to accumulate stored attributes. When the stored attributes reach their limit, you gain the ability to transmute the semi-star artifact into a true star artifact, though this transformation can only be applied to two items.

The Bloodthirsty God’s Will – When fully awakening to absolute carnage, a space of two hundred zhang in diameter will be formed around you, filled with razor-sharp murderous intent. Any living being entering this space will suffer damage equal to that of the blades of slaughter themselves.

At the same time that the God-Killing Star Soul evolved, even its attributes changed.

The transformation can successfully convert two star artifacts.

What about the next time?

Only twenty days left!

Lu Yu placed himself under the starry sky, striving to improve his weapon forging skills.

The soldiers in Fanggang are gathering, and members of the Celestial Organization are also appearing in large numbers in Fanggang, seemingly engaged in some covert activities.

All countries became tense.

Because all signs have already indicated that a Guardian War is about to be launched soon.

“The temptation of the victor claiming everything from the defeated—was even Lu Yu unable to resist it?” Many people whispered quietly.

No one knows how terrible this battle will be, or which country Lu Yu is targeting.

Time passed day by day.

Many people’s hearts were beginning to tense up.

Meanwhile, the guardians of various countries were equally tense.

It’s not that I’m afraid, but I don’t know who exactly Lu Yu will target.

The Supreme Lord of the Netherworld returned in haste; his aura was mysterious, giving people an eerie sense of untouchable dread.

Once, a king named Wang Zun came into close contact with the King of the Netherworld and felt an extremely terrifying sensation.

“It’s not King Zun, nor is it King; this person is evolving into another form of power!” King Zun thought in alarm, instinctively taking a step back.

He could feel that once he got involved, it would be very difficult to escape.

The Demon-Slaying Elder has also returned; the Demon-Slaying Elder, who once possessed the power of ten thousand sovereigns, now wields the might of a king, and the oppressive aura unique to a king has become extraordinarily heavy.

Many demons recalled the ancient records and couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

“This is a sign that someone is about to complete the King’s Skills. Actually, someone has already begun challenging for the throne. My God, this is much faster than the recovery of those kings.”

The times have changed, and many things that should not have appeared in the same era have emerged together.

This is an era in which kings rise, making it ever more difficult to determine who truly stands first.

A mighty army of one hundred thousand troops gathered at Fanggang City, while Luohan and over a thousand elite warriors also arrived at the first domain.

The atmosphere in the first realm was extremely heavy, filled with a chilling stillness that pierced to the bone.

Everyone was waiting, with countless satellites aimed at Fanggang.

Everyone was waiting for Lu Yu’s arrival.

Because once Lu Yu appears, it signifies that the war is about to begin.

Days passed, one after another. Many people waiting were on the verge of breakdown, yet they still didn’t see Lu Yu come out.

Suddenly—

Someone in Fanggang City shouted at the top of their lungs in alarm: “India, someone has attacked India.”

“Boom!”

Fanggang City was in an uproar; no one had expected that someone would dare to take action against that vast nation at such a time.

“It’s the Guardian and his army who drove back the King of Hell. They have landed in a coastal city at the southernmost tip of India. This, this is news from half an hour ago. I heard that the Guardian’s army has already destroyed six cities and is advancing toward the interior of India!”

“The madman of war. Just two months ago, he killed a Guardian and incurred the wrath of a King, and now he’s targeting the Guardians again.”

Innumerable cities and countless people had received the news and were discussing it.

Before the satellite surveillance, a figure was seen leaving the core area of Fanggang City.

The monitor shouted loudly, “Lu Yu has appeared!”

“What, how could it be such a coincidence?” The military leaders received the news and stood up one after another, each with a look of astonishment on their faces.

“Could it be that Lu Yu has joined forces with another guardian?”

Some people were guessing, feeling as if their blood was about to congeal.

Lu Yu stepped out of the core area.

The ground in Fanggang City was trembling as one skeleton after another, wielding sharp blades, climbed out from beneath the earth.

“Massacre, massacre!”

A deafening, earth-shattering sound erupted from the white skull’s crown, soaring into the heavens and凝聚ating all the killing intent.

“Good heavens, he’s even mobilized the White Bone Army. What scale of war is this going to be?”

“Initiate!” Yang stood atop the wall of the first domain, crushed a white pearl in his hand, and shouted loudly, “Open the portal!”

Boom, boom, boom…

One by one, brilliant beams of white light shot into the sky from all directions around Fanggang City!

Vroom!

The entire ground of Fanggang City lit up.

One hundred thousand warriors, one hundred thousand bleached bones—all vanished.

The officials in front of the satellite monitors all cried out in alarm, “Quick, quick, aim the satellite at the border between China and India!”

The satellite is turning, and the monitor’s画面 is moving.

Everyone who saw the border between China and India couldn’t help but feel a chill run through their entire body and a coldness down their spine.

They have joined forces; it’s true, they have really teamed up.

The gathering of Lu Yu’s army instilled fear in countless guardians.

Especially the Guardians of India had gathered a large army at the border between China and India.

But no one could have expected that on the other side, a guardian had already taken action.

Abushe redeployed the troops, leaving only a small contingent to hold off the Huaxia border.

And now Lu Yu’s army has arrived.

This is an attempt to attack from both the north and south, aiming to decisively defeat India’s defenders in one fell swoop.

“India is finished,” someone muttered, sitting in front of the monitor, staring blankly at the screen.

The two guardians joined forces, gaining an advantage in both military strength and powerful warriors.

Apushi finished.

“Massacre!”

A mighty sound of magic surged along the border between China and India, rolling forward like a tsunami.

The army of one hundred thousand skeletons crossed the border. Clad in heavy armor made of bones and wielding long swords, they slashed into the bodies of the Indians and countless demon tribes.

The war has already begun and is impossible to stop.

The Indian side has hundreds of thousands of demon troops, along with one hundred thousand Indian soldiers defending this area.

Boom!

Powerful auras surged from the demon clan’s army and the Indian forces.

Bang!

A mighty force erupted from Wang Zun amidst the demonic army, shattering the void with cracks, as countless dragons slashed through over a thousand bone-clad warriors.

Bones are regenerating from the fragments.

Then Wang Zun stepped forward, his body clad in a set of damaged King’s Armor, resembling a war god descending into the world.

The Demon-Slaying Elder moved, raised his hand, and slashed forward. A million Demon-Slaying Swords transformed into a massive dragon, hurtling toward Wang Zun.

The void itself was torn apart, and those rifts in space were shattered into oblivion.

The Supreme Sovereign of the Netherworld also moved. Around him, hundreds of thousands of tiny stars whirled. When he stepped into the demonic army, all the stars began to rotate. Anyone swept by these stars was instantly crushed to dust.

As the army of a hundred thousand white bones marched out, Luo Haitian and the others also unleashed their full combat power without holding back, crossing the border as if to suppress an uprising.

“The强者 with the power of Wan Zun exceed one hundred!” Many people who rushed over immediately upon receiving the news exclaimed in shock.

They were more terrified than ever.

Among Lu Yu’s army of one hundred thousand soldiers, there were actually over a hundred Supreme Beings at the Wan Zun level of power.

Luo Haotian’s combat power has already reached a formidable 12,000 zuns; without the Kings and Wangzun emerging, he would be invincible.

Several unrivaled kings, whose power surpasses that of ten thousand crowned rulers.

They were unstoppable, and every step they took was accompanied by rivers of blood!

The people who rushed over were breathless; they couldn’t describe the current situation.

Even if Abu She’s army is powerful, and even if he allies with a king, can he withstand the combined might of two Guardians?

Ten minutes—just the first ten minutes—reduced several cities near the border to ruins.

Lu Yu’s command was – war, not leaving a single city standing!

Behind the battlefield, many people rushed over as soon as they could.

Among the crowd, a burly man in his fifties stood midair, his gaze fixed silently on the battlefield below for a long time.

He was deeply moved.

“This is the one-third of the troops that the boy was talking about!”

“There are actually more than thirty ‘Kings without a Crown’. And that one is the Demon-slaying Elder. Hmm, right, has he also broken free?”

“Lu Yu, I acknowledge your influence. But what I want to see is your true strength,” the giant man muttered to himself in mid-air.

He was very surprised and deeply impressed by Lu Yu’s power.

In his time, such power was enough to rival the peak military strength of a king.

But what he wanted to see was Lu Yu’s strength.

Behind the battlefield, Lu Yu stood proudly in a void, gazing down at the battlefield motionless.

He resembled a sleeping beast, or rather, a ferocious predator searching for its prey.

“What are you waiting for?” Brahma whispered to himself, his eyes glowing with fiery blood, waiting for Lu Yu to make the first move.
