Chapter 646: After the Holy City

Black rain poured down like a waterfall, forming streams of raindrops cascading from the sky.

The ground turned black where it passed, all the beast bones it rained upon turned pitch black, and the warriors of the Strange Mouth tribe who were splashed let out eerie, piercing screams.

Innumerable warriors of the Weirdmouth Clan self-destructed, transferring damage.

Dark rain fell, gathering on the earth and forming rivers. Poisonous streams flowed through the holy city.

Any soldier who was contaminated by the black water, or even inhaled a whiff of the toxic gas, could not escape.

The poison of the Toxic Dragon King is something that cannot be resisted.

The entire holy city was silent except for the sound of rain.

This poison is extremely potent.

“This… this is Lu Yu’s poison!” Many warriors of the Ghost Clan had heard of the terror of the poison from the Poisonous Dragon.

There were also records of them in their clan.

However, the records differ greatly from reality.

Such poison has no antidote at all.

They don’t know at all.

Lu Yu was once on the Starry Battlefield.

Every time Lu Yu used an attack method, even a technique like the Star-Calling Art would become ineffective.

Only the venom of the Dragon King of Poison rendered that entire starry sky defenseless.

That was a truly incurable poison.

Under such a toxic shroud, the holy city was filled with cries of anguish everywhere.

One twentieth of the holy city’s area would already be enough to accommodate several large cities, each capable of housing tens of millions of people.

A black rain fell, and at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in order to divert the damage.

Everyone in this area is now retreating.

This area is no longer safe to stand on.

Standing here, no one will survive.

The voice from the stone tower was filled with immense anger, shouting loudly, “Lu Yu, you will destroy our clan’s holy city!”

“I never said that.” Amidst a storm of dark rain, Lu Yu’s figure materialized and he stood in midair, his voice cold as he said, “Hand over that armor, and I’ll leave immediately.”

The voice within the stone pagoda roared in fury: “Do you think that’s possible? That is one of our clan’s most powerful weapons; do you think it can be given away so easily?”

“Haha.” Lu Yu laughed wildly. “If you don’t hand over the armor, you’d better prepare to build another city.”

Lu Yu spoke, and suddenly landed heavily. Within a ten-zhang radius beneath his feet, black flames surged up once again.

“I’ve already said it, I will have that armor, no one can stop me.”

Lu Yu spoke again, his voice shaking the heavens, revealing his boundless dominance.

The voice within the stone pagoda fell silent.

Lu Yu raised his head, his voice forceful: “I’ll give you time to consider. But if anyone dares to lay a hand on me again, I’ll poison another hundred miles of land, until this entire holy city is transformed into a toxic wasteland.”

There wasn’t a single sound in the holy city. The warriors of the Monster Mouth tribe had eyes that could kill, yet no one moved.

The Weird Mouth Tribe is quite obedient to commands.

The leader has not given the order; they will not lift a finger even if they die.

Outside this city, powerful waves of energy are drawing closer.

“What, so powerful, surpassing the Dragon King’s bone!” a strange-mouthed person exclaimed in terror, looking up at the sky.

Outside the city, a human and a demon stood atop the holy city, gazing down upon the land.

On them, that aura surged through the heavens and earth, spreading across the entire plain.

“The King of Humanity, and there are two of them!”

A voice filled with surprise came from within the stone pagoda.

On the land outside the holy city, a black tiger was striding forward, approaching the city.

Each step it took seemed to land upon the very pulse of the earth, causing the entire plain to tremble.

People on the plateau exclaimed in alarm: “The Violent King is here. This aura, it’s clearly only at the level of ten thousand zuns, yet why do I feel that he’s even more terrifying than before?”

“King Reborn and King Xiong Sha have arrived as well.”

The only two King Zuns on Earth have arrived now. Are they enemies or friends?

“With the Two Kings and a monster capable of slaying a king, this plain will be turned upside down!”

Only those with power exceeding 7,000 zuns could stand outside the Holy City.

Now they also have no choice but to retreat.

This battlefield was no longer one they could approach easily.

Especially in the Monster Hunting Plains, where their powers are unrestricted, heaven knows how vast the battlefield would become if a real fight were to break out.

“Lu Yu, you’ve even brought helpers with you. It seems you’re really determined to get that armor.”

“I didn’t call for help. It’s just me here. I don’t believe you won’t give it to me,” Lu Yu said coldly. “Even if I can’t take it with me, this time I can still destroy half of your city. Do you believe me?”

The Reincarnation King in the sky said coldly, “Lu Yu, just say directly what it is you want. I’ve also heard rumors of the Ghost Clan’s ability to slay kings in the past. Today, I’d like to see for myself whether those tales are true or false!”

Former enemies, now allies.

Since we are allies, when war breaks out, we should fight side by side.

“Just reduce the entire city to rubble,” the Violent King roared. Outside the city walls, he shook his body, which instantly grew from ten feet tall to a hundred feet. The murderous intent in his two eyes burned intensely.

The voice within the stone pagoda fell silent once more.

However, at this moment, an unusual energy was rising within the stone pagoda.

This breath was savage and bloodthirsty, as if the malevolent aura that had devoured millions of lives was rapidly spreading.

In the moment this aura appeared, Richard and Sa Wangzun sensed a powerful hostility directed at them. Without prior agreement, they both released their own auras to counterattack.

“What, there are also Wang Zuns among the humanoid race?” Richard was shocked, staring at the stone tower in astonishment.

This is definitely not a good thing.

He was merely there to watch the commotion and had no intention of getting involved.

However, this time I witnessed something astonishing.

If the Ghost Clan already has a King Zun, then what about the Wild Wolf and Serpent Demon Clans?

“Very good, very good. Warriors of the Inhumans, your combat strength has truly impressed me.” A sharp and youthful voice echoed from within the stone tower.

From the stone tower on the dragon’s head emerged a peculiar creature with long green hair cascading down its shoulders. Its hair was divided into countless thin braids, making it look extremely strange.

He stood atop the dragon’s head, looking at Richard and the Reborn King Zun, and said, “You want to seize an ultimate weapon? Do you truly believe you can?”

“I’m sorry, but it’s me who wants the armor, not them,” Lu Yu flew into the air, facing the strange-mouthed man from a thousand feet away.

“First of all, I want to clarify one thing. Our clan is not called the Ghost Mouth Clan; it’s the Yi Ren Clan. Remember this: you may address us as Yi Ren, but never as Ghost Mouth people.”

“Second: Don’t think that you people can control the outcome of this war.”

The green-haired stranger said.

“Do you really think a dragon bone and you, the King’s Pillar, can stop this?”

Lu Yu glanced at the green-haired man and suddenly snapped his fingers.

Beside Lu Yu, the Phantom Demon had already stepped forward.

The aura of the demon is consistent with Lu Yu’s, and their powers are equal.

Lu Yu even summoned the Demon King of Illusions. This is obviously going to be a fierce battle!

There was complete silence all around.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Lu Yu’s response.

Vroom!

At the end of the horizon, a wave of mysterious power swept across.

Everyone looked up toward the distant horizon.

That was the rear of the Sacred Clan, a land where humans could not even set foot.

Because the holy city here is too large, the plain it is located on is even bigger.

It was too difficult to pass through, so no one was willing to risk offending the Ghost Clan by crossing their territory, and even fewer people were willing to spend the time to go around it.

“Boom! Boom!”

The sound from the horizon grew louder and louder.

There is a terrifying fluctuation approaching this way.

Lu Yu frowned.

Richard and King Zai raised their eyebrows.

The body of the Violent King arched upward as he fixed his gaze on the sky and let out a low, menacing growl.

The dark, heavy clouds are drawing closer.

Only those with sharp eyes noticed that it was not actually a dark cloud.

Someone cried out in alarm: “They’re all beast bones, all beast bones!”

Closer.

A terrifying wave of energy surged beyond the Sacred City, heading straight toward the group.

A thousand-meter-long Sky-Sundering Beast Bone has reached the King Reverence Level 1, with countless warriors similarly attached to its body.

These warriors are not weak; each has reached the level of ten thousand sovereigns.

On the Tian Ling of the Sky-Sundering Beast Bone, the lower half of a warrior’s body was merged together with the beast bone.

Moreover, the warrior’s strength was actually at the level of a King Venerable!

“Second place goes to Wang Zun!” The people outside the city cried out in astonishment, their eyes wide as they stared, realizing that things here were far from simple.

However, on the back of the裂天兽骨 (Sky-Sundering Beast Bone), there was also a wolf bone standing nearly a hundred zhang tall.

The aura exuding from this wolf bone was actually— the aura of a king. The half-human, half-wolf warrior, with his body merged with the wolf’s head, turned out to be another royal sovereign.

“This, how is this possible!”

All the humans who could stand outside the Holy City were stunned.

So these humanoid tribes still have such a massive force hidden away!

Following the裂天兽骨 (Sky-Sundering Beast Bone), a sea of dark clouds stretched for thousands of miles. The entire starry sky was filled with flying ancient beast bones, a dense and ominous sight.

Among the ten thousand beast bones, there were at least a million warrior elites, and among so many warriors, there were actually more than ten thousand emanating the supreme aura of the Wan Zun power level.

The green-haired stranger noticed the humans’ expressive faces and laughed heartily. “Everyone, how do you feel now? Do you still want to try destroying this city?”

A voice full of pleasant surprise came from the stone pagoda on the Dragon King’s head: “My lord, the royal army from the capital has arrived as well.”

“Boom!”

All the warrior strangers in the holy city began to cheer wildly, with various beastly roars and warriors’ screams nearly piercing through the heavens.

The green-haired stranger snorted coldly, “I was merely conducting a routine patrol here when I encountered this situation. If we don’t contact the capital city for reinforcements, how can we withstand the attacks from these humans?”

Dozens of bursts of laughter echoed simultaneously from the stone pagoda, making them appear particularly thrilled and excited.

A voice from within the tower called out to Lu Yu, “Lu Yu, do you still want to obtain the armor?”

“Oh, hahaha. The imperial army has arrived at the city. You guys, none of you are leaving today.”

“Back then, we were capable of slaying kings. Today, it’s just two king-level experts who have arrived; you two don’t have any qualifications at all.”

The outskirts were silent.

Richard and Regen King’s faces turned gloomy.

The Violent King kept growling lowly, also feeling the pressure.

Lu Yu stared at the green-haired stranger with a cold voice: “The capital?”

“That’s right, I’m talking about the King’s City!” the green-haired stranger sneered. “Do you really think defeating this holy city means the end of our clan? This sacred city is merely a natural barrier guarding the entrance to the King’s City, and its warriors are nothing more than guards. Now, do you still dare to think about seizing that armor?”

In an instant, the surroundings fell silent, yet every heart was pounding wildly.

Even kings like Richard and Reincarnation King were greatly astonished.

The answer given by the green-haired stranger was too astonishing.

Such a colossal city, armed with a terrifying weapon like the Dragon King’s Bone, is merely a guardian of the royal capital.

Dark clouds had already gathered above the holy city. The stranger standing atop the beast’s bone that split the heavens, his hair red as blood, gazed down coldly at the earth and said, “Green Hair, with only this many people, you’ve dared to summon us. Your audacity is truly minimal.”

“That’s right,” said the bald stranger on the wolf’s bone. At this moment, he cast a sweeping, icy gaze across the land. “You’ve even had us bring two supreme weapons. You truly think too highly of these humans.”

The strange man’s gaze swept across the land, a power belonging to Wang Zun. As his eyes passed over the humans, quite a few of them immediately collapsed to the ground.
