The dragon’s roar shook the heavens, its sound reverberating for thousands of miles. A vast area of the city and countless people all heard it.
The sound wave not only spread outward, but also toppled numerous buildings, allowing many people to hear the dragon’s roar.
…
East of the city—
General Lu Yu was guarding a section of the city wall when he received a message delivered by his subordinate.
“What!”
“This is impossible. Who dares to lay a hand on the Great Artisan? He even possesses a Star Artifact!”
“No, that’s not right. It’s him, that man.”
The general’s thoughts turned, and he thought of it immediately.
The city lord had warned them to be cautious of that person.
In this city, who else dares to defy the will of the city lord besides that person?
He abruptly stood up and teleported towards the western part of the city.
However, just as he had barely finished teleporting away, on a section of the city wall not far from him, Lord Storm also received the news.
He froze for a moment, then suddenly turned around.
Because a lord by his side had also been specifically instructed by the city lord to keep an eye on and be cautious of him.
In the instant he turned around, he was torn in half by a gray-haired lord standing beside him.
This person was indeed Luo Mo, whose entire body was emanating a blood-red, eerie demonic aura at this moment.
Large chunks of flesh were devoured by the demonic energy surrounding Luo Mo.
“Haha!” Luomo laughed maniacally, and in the instant he defeated the Storm Lord, he lunged at the general beside him.
“Damn it, Lu Yu actually attacked the Great Blacksmith. Is he worried that someone might kill the Great Blacksmith first to obtain the Art of Weapon Forging and the Star-Calling Art?”
After roaring with laughter, the demon was suddenly stunned into silence.
He received some messages.
“Actually, there’s such a thing!” Luo Mo became extremely excited.
Boom, boom…
Among the soldiers beneath the city wall, nine warriors suddenly sprang into action, attacking their nearby general and Wang Zun simultaneously.
…
In the southern part of the city, a lord also received the news, but before he could react, he was already frozen in ice.
The Snow Queen in golden robes and a golden mask instantly killed a lord with her star artifact.
She also received the message.
…
To the east of the city, a mysterious lord dressed in black robes suddenly launched an attack on the lord standing beside him.
The moment the dragon’s roar reached his ears, he lunged at a nearby lord.
At the moment he launched his attack, his black robe flared open, and a massive suit of heavy armor materialized on his body.
Heavy armor-clad figure, with the armor already activated. The shimmering sea of star artifacts illuminated the surroundings, causing the nearby lord to be momentarily startled.
Then the lord’s head was blown apart.
…
Almost as soon as the dragon’s roar spread across the land, Yan Sen, Hailong, and the others sprang into action.
They were ruthless and cold, instantly strangling the lords and warriors around them before swiftly vanishing.
…
Sections of the city wall fell into disarray.
Ten lords were beheaded instantly, an event that had never occurred before in Shicheng.
Moreover, those who took action were all decisive and ruthless, showing no mercy in their actions.
Many people were stunned. Their nearby lord was killed right before their eyes, and they didn’t even have a chance to react.
The Level 8 authority figure within the city was actually slain in an instant.
After those hands-on people disappeared, they finally realized where the problem lay.
Rebellion!
This is a fact that no one dares to believe.
The lord of this city is a king. Who would dare to defy the king’s will and commit murder within the city?
“Au! — Roar!”
At this moment, the second beastly roar arose from the mountains outside the city.
When this roar sounded, the warriors on the city wall turned extremely pale.
They saw countless wild beasts galloping through the mountains and forests, hesitating for a moment before rushing out of the woods like a massive army of thousands of soldiers and horses.
The dark, swarming beasts burst out from the forest, quickly covering the plains beyond the mountains, moving toward the stone city like a locust plague.
In the sky, countless flying beasts flapped their wings and left the mountains, forming a massive dark cloud that surged toward the stone city like a storm.
The uprising in the city has drawn the beasts’ attention; the beast tide is coming earlier than expected!
The soldiers on the city wall turned pale.
The uprising within the city and the tide of beasts outside—were these forces conspiring to destroy the city?
…
West of the city—
The Milky Way drew in its light, and the great blacksmith melted into a pool of dark water. Yet the armor still stood in place, unmoving.
Lu Yu grabbed it with one hand and put it away.
At this moment, he also received some information.
Meanwhile—
Lu Yu’s power surged dramatically.
He advanced from breaking through ninety thousand to reaching one hundred thousand.
“Haha,” Lu Yu laughed loudly, saying, “So that’s how it is! This city itself is a treasure—by slaying opponents of the same or higher level, one can actually obtain their strength!”
Lu Yu killed the Great Blacksmith and obtained the Great Blacksmith’s power.
If others had obtained it, they certainly wouldn’t have been able to improve.
Because Wanzun is the limit for anyone.
Lu Yu was the uncrowned king, and such power was growing within him completely and entirely.
“Haha.”
Lu Yu laughed heartily.
At this moment, Lu Yu gained not only the power of the Great Blacksmith, but also the most important memories of the Great Blacksmith.
This is about forging a star-grade armor.
These experiences quickly entered Lu Yu’s mind, merging into his memories and becoming a part of him.
Just as Lu Yu had suspected, the master craftsman was indeed a human from the real world. Unfortunately, he failed to leave this space and became a puppet.
These memories were unlocked after the death of the great blacksmith.
The strongest figure of an era is nothing more here than a puppet.
This star artifact is called the Celestial Crystal Star Armor. It is not only the thinnest armor, but also maintains its defensive capabilities despite being made so thin.
Most importantly, this armor can adhere to the bones, providing protection for the immortal parts of the body.
Moreover, when the armor contracts, it also enhances its defensive capabilities.
The more it contracts, the stronger the armor’s defensive effect becomes.
If it weren’t for him facing Lu Yu and the strongest poison, this armor would even give the city lord a headache.
Now this armor belongs to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu used the memories of the master craftsman to put on the armor.
Moreover, he originally could have obtained the strongest skills of the Great Blacksmith. However, the Great Blacksmith’s most powerful skills were the Star-Calling Technique and the Art of Forging, both of which Lu Yu already possessed. Therefore, it was as if he had gained nothing at all.
But even so, it’s enough.
Killing a Level 9 privileged individual brought him so many benefits; it was more than enough.
Lu Yu heard the beast’s roar and also sensed the commotion in the city.
It seems those beasts aren’t so foolish after all—they sensed the chaos in the city and have started moving faster.
“Lu Yu—”
A voice roared from the sky, and a figure came hurtling down toward Lu Yu.
“General.” Lu Yu looked up at the opponent, laughing loudly, “You arrived just in time; I’ll take your life as well.”
The great general’s domineering and fierce punch came crashing down from the sky.
Roar.
The demonic nest reappears, and the divine blade’s radiance splits the heavens. Ten thousand weapons of slaughter descend together upon the great general.
“How is this possible! One hundred thousand warriors, the power of one hundred thousand warriors. Star artifacts, and ten thousand half-star artifacts!” The general was stunned.
He watched as countless powerful auras surged toward him, the force of his punches already dissipated.
Last time when he had that big fight with Lu Yu, Lu Yu didn’t use such a powerful force.
The city lord ordered them to be on guard against Lu Yu, so the general knew that Lu Yu was concealing his true strength.
But hiding to this extent is truly terrifying.
Facing over a hundred dragon-like monsters and the onslaught of thousands of half-star and star-grade weapons, the great general’s hair stood on end and his entire body turned cold with fear.
“Boom!”
Another oppressive force descended from the sky, like a colossal star plummeting from the heavens. The魔龙 (dragon of darkness) shattered, the myriad sword lights unleashed by the star-shaped artifact were crushed, and even the ten thousand blades of slaughter could not withstand this force, disintegrating under its pressure.
“Lu Yu!”
A figure approached, golden light swirling around his body, as an angry aura surged toward Lu Yu like flames.
The city lord of Shicheng has arrived.
He received the message and knew it was a plea for help from the master craftsman.
So he hurried over.
But he was still a step too late. Seeing Lu Yu actually trying to kill the general, how could he not be furious?
There are only three experts with level-nine authority in the city. If Lu Yu kills two of them, how can the city still be defended?
Therefore, his first move was a deadly strike.
The power of King is something that a person like Lu Yu cannot withstand.
The sheer force of the gust sent Lu Yu flying onto the city wall.
Bang—the city wall trembled.
The man threw another punch.
The Sky-Sundering Wings behind Lu Yu emerged, and he shot into the sky at the first moment.
“You think you can escape right in front of me?” the man roared, clenching his fist in midair with one hand.
The air around Lu Yu instantly imploded, collapsing inward with explosive force.
Bang.
The Tianjing battle armor on Lu Yu’s body shone with streams of starlight.
Boom—boom—boom—
The sound of the void exploding echoed continuously, as countless people beneath the city wall stood staring at the sky in a daze.
This is their city lord.
When have you ever seen the city lord take action, except when facing the Great Beast King?
Now he has turned his attention to a human.
Lu Yu had no chance of fighting back in front of the king.
This is the king, the true king!
The space around Lu Yu kept compressing, as if trying to crush him into pieces.
However, the Tianjing armor on his body kept shining with starlight, enduring the man’s attacks.
“Did you even obtain his armor?” The man’s anger grew further, his hands clenching into tight fists, yet he still couldn’t kill Lu Yu.
The defense of the Star Artifact-class armor is the most extreme; the armor’s power is now fully revealed.
The man’s first strike failed, and he suddenly shot upward, rushing toward Lu Yu.
Vroom!
Lu Yu moved at an incredible speed and vanished from the spot in an instant.
“Race me in speed,” the man said, his eyes flashing with brilliance, as the void around them collapsed.
Bang!
In that void, Lu Yu was shaken out and crashed straight into the city wall.
Boom—
The man’s fists moved as fast as lightning, and in an instant, tens of thousands of punches landed on Lu Yu’s body.
Lu Yu let out a mighty roar, activating his battle armor with immense power.
Countless shards of crystalline light formed a shield that blocked the man’s punch.
Moreover, countless crystal rays were emitted from the shield, stabbing into the man’s fist.
Crack—
A faint crack appeared on the Tianjing Battle Armor.
Small blood marks appeared on the man’s fists.
The man’s voice was low and cold as he said, “Using armor forged from my own people to stand against me?”
“It’s not just that!” The fragment of the divine blade in Lu Yu’s hand also activated. One after another, crimson sword beams transformed into a sword dragon, charging toward the man.
“I will make you understand the consequences of opposing me in this city.”
The man took a big step forward, his eyes suddenly shooting out golden light.
With a single punch, he shattered the blood-colored sword qi that filled the sky, and then launched several ten thousand punches in succession toward Lu Yu.
“The little king without a crown, do you think you can stop me?”
The man is immensely powerful; as a king, his strength represents the pinnacle of power in this world.
Bang.
Lu Yu’s punch sent countless cracks rippling through the void.
Crack—
A man’s fist created a crack, and the force of the punch landed on Lu Yu’s body.
Bang!
Lu Yu was once again struck so hard that he slammed against the city wall.
Blows rained down on Lu Yu, each strike sending endless bursts of starlight flashing across the Tianjing Battle Armor.
Although Lu Yu was protected by his Tianjing battle armor, the force of the man’s punch still caused his bones to creak with a crisp, cracking sound.
His eyes grew increasingly bloodshot, and a killing aura surged from every pore of his body, spreading dense, invisible sword qi throughout the sky.
“The King Without a Crown actually has the prototype of the King’s skills.”
The man was terrified, his eyes flashing with an even colder light as he snarled, “Then you must not be allowed to live even longer!”
