The earth was silent.
Even the kings now dared not utter a word.
The humanoid warriors were retreating.
When they looked at the vast land stretching for thousands of miles around, sinking and collapsing, they couldn’t help but feel a chill run through their entire bodies.
This is just a gentle step when Wang landed!
That long trench was still there!
That was merely a casual punch from the King!
Before they returned to the throne, the true king could kill them with a mere instant strike!
They really couldn’t understand how Lu Yu managed to walk alongside a true king.
Some organizations are not convinced.
They spent a significant amount of time, manpower, and resources to wage this war.
However, when Lu Yu appeared, all the plans were thrown into disarray.
Lu Yu saw Luo Haotian and the others, and he landed on the ground together with the King of the Undead.
Lu Yu pointed at Luo Haotian and all the harbor guards nearby, saying, “These are my companions—don’t mistake them. One day in the future, we will fight side by side in battle.”
The King of Immortality was very proud, yet beneath his helmet, his gaze swept over one face after another, memorizing each of them.
One by one, the soldiers of Fanggang were thrilled and filled with pride.
When could they get so close to Wang Li?
Meanwhile, many experts from distant organizations were filled with a mix of jealousy and admiration.
Many of these people had also wanted to join Fanggang back then, but they gave up because they couldn’t resist the temptations from other organizations.
But now I’m increasingly regretting it.
Now they saw a king standing side by side with Lu Yu, which made them even more regretful.
The uncrowned kings, including Luo Haotian, surrounded the Undying King, feeling the aura emanating from him.
They now also possess the Reforged Demon Body and are preparing to attempt ascension to kingship.
The earlier they can sense the king’s aura, the more advantageous it will be for them.
The King of Immortality did not move; the aura around him was not only powerful, but also cold like machinery.
“This aura… why does it feel somewhat similar to yours?” The more Yang Lie sensed it, the more astonished he became.
Because the aura of the Deathless King, after being weakened countless times, was surprisingly 80% similar to Lu Yu’s.
Luo Haotian also noticed it and said in horror, “Lu Yu, you, you can’t possibly be——”
The aura of the Undead King was too similar to Lu Yu’s—it was as if Lu Yu’s power had been enhanced.
“Have you really completed the Immortal King?”
Luo Haotian and others can enter the core area and know most of Lu Yu’s secrets.
They had heard from Lu Yu about the story of the Undying King.
That would absolutely be an uncontrollable monster.
Fed by blood, the Immortal King will eventually become a king. However, due to the blood, the Immortal King becomes like an infinitely enhanced feeder.
From a certain perspective, the current Undead King embodies some of the characteristics that Lu Yu possesses after becoming king in this era.
From skills to abilities, everything has been perfectly inherited!
The king without a crown can indeed become a king.
Luo Haotian was extremely excited.
Because of the King of Immortality, they became even more determined and believed in their ability to become kings themselves.
The people on the plain did not leave; they wanted to see whether Lu Yu was truly determined to wage war against the Snake Clan.
Millions of Blue Planet Souls—Lu Yu must be either insane or joking.
I’m afraid the Snake Clan wouldn’t be able to provide such a quantity.
Moreover, the Snake Clan has always held a deep hatred towards humans, and their enmity with Lu Yu is especially intense. How could they possibly submit to Lu Yu’s blackmail?
“I’m afraid there will be a big battle.”
“I heard that in the past, the Snake Clan had killed a King. Now, a Snake Demon has emerged among the Snake Clan. He hasn’t appeared for so many years, probably because he’s been striving to ascend to the throne.”
“But Lu Yu has brought a true king. Can the serpent demon, who has not become a king, fight against a king?”
“Don’t forget, the Snake Demon is also an outcast of the serpent race. It is said that their power is as terrifying as the nine mutated star souls of humans.”
People whispered among themselves, and as many cast their eyes toward the Undead King, they all secretly wished for his swift demise!
How could they feel at ease with a king pressing down on their heads?
It was like when Richard had just become a king, a single person easily defeated an entire nation; no matter how large the army, it was nothing more than something Richard could handle with just one hand.
In the end, if it weren’t for the combined efforts of various countries, they probably wouldn’t have had the chance to suppress Richard.
Now there’s another king, even more terrifying!
“Wo…”
A dull horn sounded at the end of the plain, and its piercing, urgent noise caused everyone’s heart to tighten abruptly.
All the humanoid warriors immediately surged backward like a tide.
People on the plain looked up at the same time, gazing toward that vast expanse.
Does a horn sound like this signify war?
Someone excitedly clenched their fists and looked toward Lu Yu and the others, saying, “This time, we’re finally going to see what true royal power looks like.”
Lu Yu glanced toward the direction from which the horn had sounded, his voice cold. “So, they’ve decided not to give in after all?”
The King of Immortality coldly said, “Do you really think these people will easily give you a million Blue Star Souls? You must be dreaming.”
“Then take action until they give in.”
Lu Yu replied in a cold voice.
Luo Haotian and others said excitedly, “Damn it, we’ve long had it in for those snake people. Over the past few years, they’ve been capturing humans to feed to the serpent demon. They’ve also provoked and ambushed us multiple times. It’s time to settle everything with them once and for all.”
“You don’t need to lift a finger. I alone am more than enough,” said the Undead King, waving his hand with an air of overbearing arrogance. “It’s just a city after all. Won’t I be able to destroy it?”
Lu Yu looked at the Undead King in astonishment.
Although the Immortal King was nourished with his blood, most of its power, personality, and even memories originated from him.
However, a portion of it should originate from the Undead King himself.
What kind of power could possibly create such a king—one who possesses his memories and yet carries the arrogance of a king?
Since the part about the king does not come from him, no matter how arrogant he may be, he does not possess the king’s characteristics.
Or—
The one who created the Undead King was a king himself, and this is a part of that king’s character!
As soon as the King of Immortality was revived, he possessed the king’s personality and part of his soul consciousness.
The King of Immortality didn’t know what Lu Yu was thinking. He merely sneered and said, “There’s no need to be curious; I alone will be enough.”
“I will confirm this with my own eyes,” Lu Yu replied, nodding.
The King of Immortality disdainfully replied, “You still doubt me? Then witness it with your own eyes.”
As he spoke, the Immortal King hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Yu and said, “When you created me, wasn’t it precisely your hope that I would become your tool? Then, would you like to personally experience my power now?”
Lu Yu understood the meaning behind the Immortal King’s words and shook his head, saying, “I want to witness it with my own eyes, but I don’t wish to experience it myself. I must walk my own path, and I fear that remembering your power might influence my progress in the future.”
When Lu Yu created the Undead King, he made it a suit of armor with consciousness, with no physical body inside at all.
The Immortal King is not only a king, but also a suit of armor.
Lu Yu anticipated that he would inevitably face brutal wars in the future. While expanding his power, he was also preparing for what lay ahead.
In the future, when a force arises that he cannot confront alone, Lu Yu will don the armor transformed from the Undying King and use the Undying King’s indestructible body to fight.
However, he always kept in mind the advice given by King Shu, not to easily dismiss or ignore the experiences of kings, as it would not be beneficial for his own path to becoming a king.
Moreover, the Undying King’s aura is so similar to his, making it even easier to affect him!
“Wo…”
At this moment, the second horn call sounded, even more urgent and piercing.
“Annoying!”
The King of the Undead let out a soft hum.
An infinite regal aura surged from his body into the heavens, like countless bolts of thunder racing toward the stars. It shattered the clouds and created roaring peals of thunder across the sky, drowning out the sound of the horn.
Lu Yu took a giant step forward and vanished from the plain in a flash of teleportation.
The King of Immortality was no less swift in his movements. Stepping forward alongside Lu Yu, he too took a large stride.
The two of them teleported thousands of miles in a single step, crossing vast plains.
Behind the two, Luo Haotian and others, along with the harbor defense soldiers, closely followed.
The强者of various factions, along with the kings, also followed closely behind.
Their emotions were extremely complicated.
They fought for six months straight, yet they did not advance a single step across this plain.
It was merely the arrival of a king that caused the humanoid race to retreat.
The group crossed the plains and saw an endless swamp nestled between a range of mountains. The swamp was shrouded in mist, with the bones of countless wild beasts scattered across its surface. Sparse and scattered vegetation grew in the muddy patches.
Lu Yu and the Undead King stood at the edge of the swamp, as if standing before the gates of a sinister and terrifying hell. Ahead, thick mist and murky marshes loomed, as though malevolent spirits were wandering within.
More and more people arrived at the marsh, facing the vast expanse of swamp that stretched before them like an endless sea.
Someone whispered, “I’ve done business with the Snake People a few times. I heard that their swamp is a natural barrier that has devoured countless humans. Even King Zun couldn’t reach its end.”
“Speak softly, don’t let Lu Yu and the others hear. I still hope Lu Yu and that Wang guy die here!”
“I was thinking the same thing. If both of us get stuck here, Fanggang will be left without a leader.”
Some people began to laugh slyly from the back.
At this moment, the Deathless King looked at the vast swamp and, without any emotion, turned his head toward Lu Yu, asking, “Tell me, how would you like to destroy this swamp?”
Lu Yu said, “Before the Serpent Clan presents one million Blue Planet Souls, I won’t restrict you from taking action. You can destroy as you wish.”
“So you’re saying I can just attack at will?”
The pair of bloodshot eyes beneath the Overlord’s helmet turned an even deeper shade of red as he said, “Then watch carefully.”
The voice of the Deathless King instantly turned sharp and icy cold, and killing intent emanated from beneath his armor, like countless towering swords cleaving into the swamp.
The mist was torn apart, and the sparse vegetation in the swamp could not survive.
The King of Immortality took one step forward into the swamp—
Boom—
Flames surged from the feet of the Undead King, spreading forward.
At first, only a foot-high flame erupted from the ground several zhang away in front of the Undead King.
These flames seemed to be inherently underground, bursting forth from water, from the earth, and even from among the grasses and trees.
At first, the flames expanded only within a few zhang’s range with each breath, then surged forward like a wildfire.
Instantly, in the large fan-shaped area of nearly 160 degrees in front of the Undead King, flames erupted from the ground. These flames vaporized the water in the swamp, turned the trees into ashes, and dried up the soil.
All the humans beyond the marshes widened their eyes in astonishment, frozen in place.
With this single step, the Deathless King transformed the entire hundred-mile expanse of land ahead into a sea of flames.
In the murky pools of the swamp, within the mud, countless serpent-men cried out in agony as they fled from the sea of flames.
Each snake was constantly flapping its body to put out the flames.
However, the flames were not only burning their bodies, but also bursting out from their five senses and beneath their scales, impossible to extinguish no matter how hard they tried!
“King of Fire!” someone exclaimed in awe, recalling the fiery expanse in the Hunting Magic Plains.
This should be the legendary Flame King’s ability to control the flames of heaven and earth.
