No one could witness the battle between Lu Yu and the Howling King.
The Gate of Starlight was ten zhang high and five zhang wide. As soon as Lu Yu and Richard entered, it closed behind them.
Many people were extremely frustrated.
People did not get to see the major battle they had been anticipating.
This might be a battle of the century.
Five days later, the light gate opened again.
Lu Yu and Richard walked out together, both wearing smiles, as if nothing had ever happened.
Richard nodded at Lu Yu and never spoke another word to him.
Lu Yu did not utter a single word either.
Everyone was deeply disappointed.
They couldn’t get any information.
Who will win, who will lose, or will it end in a draw?
They can’t see these things at all.
After exchanging a few words with Will, Richard left.
Conversely, there were also some people who left.
Some young people chose to break through.
“From the moment the last person left until the next time it opens, there are still twenty-five days.”
After receiving such news from Li Jiayi, Lu Yu also chose to leave.
Lu Yu also memorized the coordinates of this place, so he would know how to enter next time.
Some people chose to wait here, while others retreated.
Lu Yu left this place and returned to Fanggang.
Lu Yu couldn’t understand it at all—just who was the Celestial Deity Organization’s mole in Fanggang?
He had barely just established himself when Yang arrived.
“Mr. Lu, you’re finally back.” Bai Yang looked visibly relieved and said, “Do you remember the internal conflict in the Liu family?”
When Lu Yu heard this, his eyebrows instantly lifted slightly, and he coldly said, “It’s better you didn’t mention it. Now that you’ve brought it up, I’d like to ask you a question. That kid promised that a King could be called upon, yet in the end, I never saw that King show up! If the final outcome hadn’t been nearly what I wanted, I would’ve crushed that kid long ago instead of letting him leave. Daring to play tricks on me—he thinks just because he’s a descendant of General Liu, I wouldn’t dare to kill him?”
Baiyang smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m not quite sure about this matter either. However, I heard from that kid Liu Jin that he had written a letter and your people delivered it, but Prince Wang didn’t show up. It’s not that he didn’t go; rather, he intended to go and offer support but ended up trapped in a space and only managed to escape a few days ago.”
“What’s the point of you explaining all this?” Lu Yu frowned and said, “I think after all this time, their family conflict should have reached a conclusion by now.”
Baiyang shook her head and sighed, “It’s because you’re not there, and King Wang is also absent. Almost all of South China is now under Liu Quan’s control. However, the final outcome hasn’t been decided yet. Some senior members of the South China army don’t believe Liu Quan is the right choice, so about one-fifth of the army supports Liu Jin instead. In other words, neither side has emerged victorious yet, and the final showdown hasn’t even begun.”
“Have you come here to find me, hoping that I would fulfill our original promise?”
Bai Yang said seriously, “Liu Quan couldn’t wait any longer. He has issued a final challenge to Liu Jin. The loser will withdraw and no longer participate in any matters concerning the Southern Army.”
“Time and place!” Lu Yu didn’t ask for more details.
Ten days later, in the Wild Wolf Mountains of the Demon Plains. It was rumored that Liu Quan also had the support of two Kings, or so some said, the Guardians behind him.
“It doesn’t matter who it is; it’s none of my concern,” Lu Yu said coldly. “I only want my share of the gains.”
“Okay,” Bai Yang nodded and said, “If there are no issues, then we’ll meet again in ten days.”
After seeing Bai Yang off, Lu Yu calculated the time and realized he could still resurrect another warrior.
He decided to resurrect the Lord of the Underworld.
This former guardian of the Star Soul of carnage deserves respect.
He had obtained the name from the冥尊 of this generation early on; now, he merely needed to search for that person.
“Not here!”
Lu Yu searched for a long time, but whether in the Ten Thousand Revered Powers, the Kingly Revered, or among the Kings themselves, there was no such name.
“Is the name wrong?” Lu Yu confirmed repeatedly. It couldn’t be mistaken.
“It can’t be that someone has already resurrected them first!”
Lu Yu searched carefully once again, confirming that the name was not among them, and couldn’t help but frown.
Not dead yet, or perhaps already revived by someone.
Lu Yu decided to confirm it again after finding the King of the Underworld.
However, he has now resurrected a warrior in the form of heavy armor and rewarded the warrior with five drops of beast blood from a Golden-Blooded Beast of the Qianzun Power.
These five drops of blood are sufficient for the warrior to absorb and utilize while recovering his strength.
Both potential and ability will undergo an evolution.
He himself was once again drenched in beast blood, then went straight to his room to open the remaining ten golden treasure chests.
“I wonder what’s going to happen this time!”
Ten golden treasure chests should at least yield one or two good items, right?
Opening a treasure chest is all about testing your luck.
Lu Yu felt that his luck had been quite good recently.
He crushed the first box with both hands, and amidst golden light, another bottle fell out.
Inside the bottle, a mass of black gas kept swirling around.
“This is—” Lu Yu looked at it seriously and was greatly surprised.
He had heard the Spirit King speak of this matter.
This is the Soul of the Poisonous Dragon.
There was an era when two kings emerged.
These two kings, in their legendary rivalry, fought side by side only once—when facing the poison dragon.
The two kings joined forces to slay the venomous dragon and divided everything the dragon possessed equally between them.
The only thing that could not be divided was the Poison Dragon’s Soul. Since it could not be separated, neither side was willing to back down, so neither obtained it, and it was eventually sealed away.
According to the records described by Ling Wang to Lu Yu, the Soul of the Poisonous Dragon is the core power of the Poisonous Dragon itself.
Through the Soul of the Poisonous Dragon, it is even possible to recreate an entire Poisonous Dragon.
The reconstructed毒龙 could be said to become an artificial weapon.
He will not only possess the abilities of the Poisonous Dragon, but also gain the powers of certain materials, becoming a truly terrifying dragon-shaped weapon. In fact, such artificial weapons have always existed.
For example, powerful dragon clans can become artificial weapons, and beasts can as well.
A venomous dragon is also a form of life; theoretically, it is entirely possible.
No one has ever been willing to refine the Dragon’s Soul into an artificial weapon.
Those who can slay the poison dragon all use the poison dragon itself to complete the poison dragon’s body.
People with nothing to lose would never dare to cross paths with a venomous dragon.
Therefore, something like the Soul of the Poisonous Dragon is known only to a very few people.
“Creating artificial weapons?” Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, “How about trying to integrate them into the Demon Nest, allowing them to grow together with me?”
Lu Yu put away the Soul of the Poisonous Dragon.
Open another treasure chest again.
What this produces is truly unpredictable, as if everything in the world is contained within it.
This time, Lu Yu summoned was actually an ordinary Level 1 Star Soldier.
The next three consecutive treasure chests all contained the most ordinary items.
Then, from the four treasure chests, several Blue Star Souls were continuously obtained, which was also considered a small gain.
Anyway, he’s in urgent need of these materials right now to forge a Domain Guardian.
The tenth treasure chest once again surprised Lu Yu.
“A key to unlock the Seventh Level of Unified Magic Fields—now that’s something valuable,” Lu Yu said earnestly as he carefully put away the key and headed once again into the Demon Hunting Plains.
The Wolf Mountain Range is located far away from the entrance of the Monster Hunting Plains.
Lu Yu slashed his way forward, which was also a form of tempering.
…
“The Shapeshifting Star Soul evolution has begun, with an evolution progress of 76%!”
“Stellar Soul Body Refinement Technique completed at 7%!”
…
His months of slaughter in the beast realm, combined with the effects of the golden blood beast’s blood, had accelerated his evolution at an excessively rapid rate.
The effect of the transformation has already reached ten Star Artifacts.
It’s like Lu Yu now has the opportunity to transform all ten half-star artifacts into full star artifacts.
The energy absorbed from the hunt has already accumulated to a level sufficient to evolve two star artifacts.
What Lu Yu currently lacks is materials.
As long as he has the necessary materials, he can transform himself into a stellar artifact at any moment.
The domain created by the Blood God’s murderous intent has expanded from five hundred zhang to one thousand zhang.
By the time Lu Yu arrived at the location Bai Yang had indicated, his strength had also fully recovered.
In the center of these mountains lies a vast plain within a valley, spanning tens of thousands of units of land, resembling a paradise untouched by the outside world.
The mountains here are green and the waters are clear, not even a single wild beast can be found.
If you wish to escape the wars of the world, there is no better place to come than here.
When Lu Yu walked in, quite a few people had already arrived there.
Lu Yu saw the young man he did not like.
Liu Quan also noticed Lu Yu. The previous encounter had left a deep impression on him, and a glimmer of sinister and ruthless intent flashed across his eyes.
Beside Liu Quan stood a middle-aged man who had pleaded for mercy on Liu Quan’s behalf; the rest of the people there were unfamiliar to Lu Yu.
However, among them there were about sixty or so soldiers, none of whom were weak. Two of them seemed to have already discovered methods to advance to the next level of King Reverence, their auras bearing some resemblance to Lu Yu’s.
Among them, two individuals each sat on a grand armchair, their expressions exuding arrogance.
When these two saw Lu Yu, they didn’t even bother to stand up, merely giving him a once-over.
Lu Yu recalled what Bai Yang had said and was certain that these two men were the two kings who supported Liu Quan.
Liu Quan, seeing that only Lu Yu had come, sneered, “Mr. Lu, why isn’t that young Liu Jin here? Is he too scared or has he already admitted defeat?”
“These have nothing to do with me. I came here for my own purpose,” Lu Yu said, stopping less than a hundred meters away from Liu Quan and the others.
Liu Quan glanced at the people around him; this was completely different from their last meeting.
He now has substantial power, controlling four-fifths of the forces in South China. With the King’s support behind him, why should he fear Lu Yu?
Liu Quan thought about it and chuckled, saying, “Mr. Lu, how about you help me instead? I’ll double the offer my dear younger brother gave you.”
Liu Quan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding great momentum and appearing even more arrogant.
“Mr. Liu, I don’t like you, so even if you offer me ten times more, I still won’t agree,” Lu Yu said bluntly, his expression filled with disgust. “Therefore, it’s better for you not to make any conditions anymore.”
Liu Quan’s expression immediately changed, his eyes revealing an even fiercer and more sinister gleam as he said, “Mr. Lu, my younger brother is utterly useless, and so are all his men. If you side with them, you can only lose. I’m inviting you to cooperate with me because I truly admire you.”
“What? You call me a waste!” A pale, cold voice echoed in the sky, saying, “What a bold statement.”
Hiss!
Suddenly, the wind began to blow fiercely across the sky and the earth.
A shadow flashed from the sky to the ground, reaching Liu Quan’s side as swiftly as a bolt of lightning.
Bang!
The shadow was so fast that the eyes couldn’t follow. He had already extended his hand and slapped Liu Quan hard across the face.
