The Four Great Beast Kings felt very frustrated!
They had never been so humiliated before.
They stand supreme among the myriad creatures!
They should be the rulers of this plain, commanding a vast army of beasts!
Now they are being suppressed by a single person.
One person actually possesses such a terrifying wide-range attack skill.
Probably, within these mountains including the Stone City, no one could surpass the area attack range of the person standing before them.
Innumerable beast族 warriors launched skill attacks one after another.
It’s no longer a matter of who will win or lose; it’s about whose attack will reveal a weakness first.
More than a hundred dragon-like beasts, each shaking their bodies with such force that they could shatter the skills of the Beast Clan warriors.
The sky-splitting beam engulfed the vast expanse of land, its indiscriminate assault leaving the herd no chance to flee.
They could only desperately unleash their skills to attack and resist the Dark Dragon, to withstand the Rift Beam.
The Beast Clan is immensely vast, and there are countless powerful experts here. Therefore, it’s not difficult to withstand the Dragon King and the Sky Rending Beam.
However, it would be nearly impossible to suppress Lu Yu again.
Neither side gave way, transforming the battlefield of myriad spirits into a sea of light.
Time is passing day by day, drawing ever closer to the one-year mark.
The Four Beast Kings knew it was impossible to kill Lu Yu.
What they need to do now is wait for the portal to open.
This kind of confrontation has become pointless.
The human in front of me is too powerful. Unless he is a king, I’m afraid no one in the Beast Clan can suppress him.
Some orc warriors were a moment too slow in unleashing their skills and were instantly torn apart by the dragon’s wrath and the sky-splitting beams.
Days passed one by one.
With the portal opening, it marked that a year had passed.
Lu Yu’s demonic aura receded, and his Sky-Sundering Wings also folded back.
He stepped into the portal and vanished in an instant.
The White Tiger gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go; we must report this to the Great Beast King as soon as possible.”
“Unexpectedly, there is such a formidable expert among the humans. He must be eliminated.”
The orcish horde also began to retreat.
The battlefield of myriad souls instantly became vast and empty.
…
Lu Yu stepped through the portal, and the glowing gateway behind him closed immediately.
When he reappeared in the Sky Tower, the city lord of Stone City was still seated motionless on the golden throne.
He was surprised to see Lu Yu come out.
The power of Lu Yu that he sensed shouldn’t have been able to last for a whole year.
Are you hiding your strength?
A cold gleam flashed in the man’s eyes.
Lu Yu said in a deep voice, “In one year, I believe I have completed the trial you mentioned.”
“That’s right, you’ve completed it. As agreed, you’re free now,” the man said. “Remember, once the beast tide begins, you’re responsible for the southern part of the city. If anything goes wrong, you will still die!”
“Roar!”
A deafening beastly roar, resonating with boundless royal might, echoed from beyond the Sky Tower, reverberating through every corner of the Stone City.
This is a sign that the beast tide is about to begin.
Lu Yu learned from others that when the Great Beast King roared for the third time, the beast tide would begin.
The first beast roar is the horn for the gathering of the beast tribe.
The second sound is the horn signaling the Beast Clan’s departure from the plains, as their army arrives beneath the walls of Stone City.
And once the third trumpet sounds, the beast tide will begin.
The beast tide will continue until all the beasts have fallen in battle, as long as the fourth roar of the Great Beast King does not sound.
The longest interval between two consecutive roars was seventeen days, while the shortest interval was six days.
The man said coldly, “Go back to your place in the south of the city. Remember what I said—don’t force me to come after you myself.”
Lu Yu didn’t even bother to bow, and simply turned around and left.
The man watched Lu Yu leave, stood up with a smile, and said, “Unexpected indeed! You actually lasted a whole year. I’ve won quite a lot this time, so I’ll spare your life—for now.”
…
The city of stone was filled with a grim and desolate atmosphere, devoid of its usual prosperity and bustle.
Everyone’s face was extremely pale and gloomy.
Because the beast tide is really coming, every warrior in this Stone City must defend the city.
Although there was a barrier, there was no ease to be found.
The barrier was breached in several places by the beast tide on multiple occasions.
Those were disasters for Shicheng.
It is estimated that at that time, as many as tens of millions of wild beasts surged into the city.
The beast tide did not recede until more than one hundred million humans had perished beneath the claws of the beasts, not including the destroyed buildings.
Therefore, as soon as the beast tide is about to arrive, major shops will generously contribute funds, and warriors will enthusiastically participate in the defense.
Three level-nine authorized personnel guarded different sections of the city wall, while over sixty lords, tens of thousands of monarchs, and millions of troops were all mobilized. Additionally, the billions of warriors within the city rushed to various sections of the city wall to establish defensive lines.
On his way, Lu Yu saw nothing but hurried warriors and bustling crowds flowing in and out of various shops.
At this time, every soldier is more than willing to spend every penny they have to buy various props in order to save their lives.
When Lu Yu returned to the Heilong Association, its scale had expanded by more than five times, with no fewer than a thousand people coming and going.
As soon as Lu Yu entered, he was immediately noticed by a steward of the merchant guild.
Without needing an announcement, Lu Yu had already arrived at the third courtyard.
No matter how much the commercial association expanded, the third courtyard where Lu Yu had stayed remained unchanged.
When the steward delivered the news to the three presidents, they did not dare to delay and immediately informed Zuo Lanfeng and others.
When the six of them arrived at the third courtyard, they found Lu Yu’s door tightly closed.
They didn’t dare to move and stood quietly in the courtyard, barely daring to breathe.
The current Heilong商会 has already attained qualifications comparable to those of a second-tier merchant guild.
Moreover, Zuo Lanfeng, Zhang Lan, Almon, and others were no longer mere shopkeepers; they had all become heads of merchant guilds, with scales comparable to that of the Heilong Merchant Guild when it was a fourth-tier guild.
Even if they are wealthy and powerful, they know the reason behind all of this.
Therefore, in front of Lu Yu, they are always obedient!
The six people waited for two full days and nights.
Lu Yu fought in the Ten Thousand Spirits Battlefield for a year. Even though the energy within his body was inexhaustible, his physical body and mind still felt exhausted.
Hunger, thirst, and exhaustion overwhelmed Lu Yu’s body as he finally collapsed after leaving the battlefield.
Lu Yu slept for two full days. Even after two days of rest, he still felt completely weak and sore, as if his bones had come apart.
When Lu Yu pushed open the door and saw Zuo Lanfeng and the other five people standing in the courtyard, he slightly hesitated and asked, “Are my companions still here?”
Zhang Shan hurriedly said, “My lord, on the day you returned, your companion had already come back!”
“You all go and get them,” Lu Yu said, waving his hand to indicate that the others could leave.
Zuo Lanfeng hurriedly said, “My lord, over the past year we’ve gathered some things—won’t you take a look first?”
“You guys organize things first, and later I’ll come find you,” Lu Yu said in a deep voice. “The beast tide is approaching; I need to make some preparations.”
The six people dared not say more, so they bowed and turned to leave.
Before long, Yukki and the others arrived.
The third courtyard was immediately sealed off, with guards stationed around the perimeter to prevent anyone from approaching.
Besides the Reborn King Zun, Yan Sen, and Hailong, the remaining Kings, including Xue Ji, had actually all entered the breakthrough stage.
The Reincarnation King chuckled, “Don’t be surprised. We’ve spent eight trillion Star Spirit Stones this year just to reach this stage; it’s literally built upon money. But as for you—”
Everyone was also sizing up Lu Yu at the same time.
It had been a year since they last met, and Lu Yu’s aura was still somewhat suffocating to everyone.
“Nine hundred thousand尊!” Hai Long sucked in a cold breath, saying, “We’re about to break through to a million尊.”
“The King without a Crown is indeed formidable!”
Everyone was amazed and felt a bit envious of Lu Yu.
Lu Yu said, “Have all of you found a way to leave?”
As the others listened, they couldn’t help but shake their heads, their faces dark and cold.
Yansen sucked in a breath of cold air and said, “That means we have no choice but to take the last step.”
Challenge the two kings!
This is the last thing everyone wants to do.
Everyone present was well aware of Wang’s power, which they could not hope to resist.
The Dragon King with Three Eyes said solemnly, “Recently, Luo Mo and others have made contact with us. It seems they’ve also noticed the problem. Knowing the time is pressing, they are willing to join forces with us.”
Yuki said, “We’ve agreed to join forces and give it a try. This is our only chance.”
Hailong also nodded and said, “That’s right. If we rely solely on ourselves, it might be quite difficult to accomplish. However, if we work together, our chances will be greater. We agree, but now it’s up to you. If you disagree, we’ll have to think of other methods.”
Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, “I agree. The most important thing is to leave this place first; as for other grudges, we can set them aside for now.”
Everyone silently praised in their hearts.
Lu Yu’s broad-mindedness satisfied them, knowing when to be adversarial and when to join forces.
Hailong nodded and said, “Then I’ll go find Luo Mo right away. Luo Mo is now the lord and also the contact person for the other side.”
This collaboration might determine whether everyone can leave this space.
Therefore, when Luo Mo and others arrived, it was already late at night.
One by one, experts from the real world teleported into the third courtyard of the Black Dragon Merchant Guild.
Richard arrived, the armored figure came, and Luo Mo along with Sky-splitting King and others also arrived.
Besides Wang Zun, the strength of others like Tian Wang has also improved.
However, they don’t have the trillions of financial backing that Lu Yu possesses, so they have not yet reached the breakthrough stage.
The large shops in the third courtyard were all emptied out, and now more than sixty people gathered together, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.
After staying here for more than a year, they still hadn’t found a good way to leave.
But everyone here is smart and has already realized the crisis.
If they couldn’t escape before the beast tide ended, they might become puppets of this stone city.
Luo Mo, the strongest among the heavily armored warriors, looked at Lu Yu and the others and spoke first, saying, “Lu Yu, I believe you understand the current crisis we face. No matter what grudges we hold, we must set them aside for now.”
Lu Yu said seriously, “I agree to cooperate, but this collaboration is limited to this space only.”
The armored man said, “That’s exactly what I was thinking too. Once we get out, we’ll still be enemies.”
The Demon King Luo said, “I’ve already heard from the Sea Dragon King that your goal is the same as ours. However, we’ve never had a concrete plan on how to proceed. I think here, everyone should stop hiding their information, or else we won’t be able to get out, and we’ll all lose our lives here.”
Lu Yu said solemnly, “I hope you won’t hide anything. Let me start first! I’ve already met the City Lord. From our conversation, I roughly learned that besides the current Great Blacksmith, Great General, and Great Lord, there should be two level-nine authority puppets around the City Lord. Of course, there’s also another piece of information—”
Lu Yu shared the information about the four Beast Kings he had encountered in the Myriad Spirit Battlefield, including detailed descriptions of some of their abilities that had been used.
He has already shown his sincerity by doing so.
However, the information he provided was quite astonishing.
No one had seen Lu Yu during this year. Who would have thought that Lu Yu had such important news?
This is especially true for information about the Beast Clan, which is completely unattainable from the City Lord.
Lu Yu saying so much was enough to show his sincerity.
The heavily armored man looked at Lu Yu with a complex expression in his eyes and said, “Since you put it this way, I won’t hide anything anymore. I was hiding in the shadows of the palace when you first met the City Lord. It was also me who revealed your information to the City Lord. Originally, I wanted the City Lord to know you possess a star artifact and thus kill you. However, I didn’t expect the City Lord to spare your life. Therefore, everyone should be cautious around the City Lord—he doesn’t seem to be completely ignorant of this space.”
That’s not good news.
If the Lord of Stone City knew that he was merely a puppet of the gods, would he truly not resist?
The current city lord might be watching them closely.
Everyone fell silent.
If the city lord has ulterior motives toward them, would they be able to resist the power of an entire city?
A cold gleam flashed sharply in Lu Yu’s eyes. Clenching his fists tightly, he swung them with force and coldly said, “If that’s the case, since we have to fight anyway, let’s do it tonight!”
