The human in the sky was freezing cold.
The snake people on the land could hardly believe it either.
The star artifact of the Serpent Clan is made from the bones of the Serpent King. In their hearts, it is not only a star artifact but also a symbol of invincibility and pride.
Now that the star artifact has been activated, it was actually shattered by a single punch from a human.
“No, that’s impossible. The Snake King is invincible.”
“He must not be human; no human could possibly break through the attack of a star artifact.”
“He’s a demon, kill him!”
Innumerable snake people could not accept it.
Their belief, their sacred king, had actually been defeated in such a way.
All the nagas became frenzied, lunging wildly toward Lu Yu and the Undead King.
The King of Immortality sneered coldly, “Your Highness, you think you can challenge me just by holding a Star Artifact? You can’t even unleash its true power. Let me now show you how to properly use a Star Artifact.”
The Deathless King disdainfully beckoned to the old serpent man with a flick of his finger and coldly said, “Will you come here yourself, or must I take action?”
What answered him was the pounce of a hundred thousand serpent people.
Boom!
The armor of the Deathless King ignited, and the massive flames behind him transformed into a hundred-meter-tall fire giant.
Hum.
A giant hand of flames came crashing down, carving a path through the midst of a hundred thousand serpent people.
The King of Immortality flew toward the old serpent man.
More than ten King-tier snake people slid sideways, attempting to block the Deathless King’s path.
However, over a hundred dragon-like creatures surged through the sky, lifting dozens of snake men high into the air.
The King of Immortality had already stepped beside the old serpent man. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the old serpent man’s hand, crushing the bones with a loud crack, and then the serpent’s skull fell into his hand.
“No!” the old serpent man cried out, ignoring the screams of pain, his face deathly pale.
Wang Zun activating a star artifact and Wang activating a star artifact are entirely two different concepts.
Boom.
It was as if the snake’s skull had come back to life; two beams of light shot out from its eyes, piercing through the sky.
In the Tianling of the snake’s skull, a soul seemed to awaken, radiating horrifying stellar power fluctuations.
Hum.
The surge of stellar power swept through, causing the old serpent man to spit blood, while all the serpent men within hundreds of miles were shattered into a rain of blood.
This time, even Wang Zun was no exception.
Even Lu Yu was caught in the stellar fluctuation, retreating with a large mouthful of blood spewing out. The Tianjing battle armor on his body seemed to come alive, blocking the stellar fluctuation.
In the Stone City, even after activating the star artifacts, there was never such a tremendous power.
Could it be that the lord of Shicheng at that time had never fully activated the star artifact?
Countless humans screamed in the sky as they witnessed the stellar energy waves sweeping out from the serpent’s skull, and the boundless, terrifying power that seemed to destroy everything in its path, leaving nothing but ruin in its wake.
“This, is this the power of the Star Artifact?” someone’s blood nearly froze in terror.
Many people looked toward the rear, where the kings had not yet regained their full strength, and felt an increasing sense of terror toward them.
The current kings have merely reached the Breakthrough stage, already surpassing the King Revered.
After regaining their strength, they will truly stand at the pinnacle of this world.
Within the holy city, waves of stellar power surged outward, mercilessly obliterating all life within its range, even flipping over multiple layers of the earth’s surface.
The King of the Undead raised the snake’s skull high with one hand and declared loudly, “The Star Artifact is prepared for the King; you ordinary people are not worthy of using it.”
The Star Artifact was truly activated; this was the work of the King’s power.
Above the serpent’s skull, the shadow of a colossal python millions of feet in length was cast. Each scale on its body gleamed with a metallic luster like steel. Spines grew along its back, a single horn adorned its head, and its mouth full of sharp teeth resembled rows of towering peaks.
The giant python’s eyes shone like stars illuminating the earth, causing the serpent people on the ground to tremble with fear.
“No——”
The old snake man screamed in agony, “I agree, I agree to your terms.”
Boom!
The giant serpent, millions of feet long, had already landed.
In an instant, the giant python swung its tail, flattening one-third of the city. No one could withstand the force of its tail.
All the warriors were crushed into bloodied pulp, and an eerie silence enveloped the surroundings.
“I, I agree to your demands. Stop already!” The old serpent man rose from the ground, grabbed the Undead King’s snake, and cried out in anguish: “I’ve already said I accept your terms, why haven’t you stopped yet?”
The Deathless King kicked the old serpent man far away, his voice cold as he said, “What were you just saying? You didn’t agree before—now you want to kill me? With just this level of skill, you actually think you can kill me with a mere Starbreaker? That last strike was merely a warning to you.”
The old serpent man clenched his teeth, gazing at the tragic scene within the holy city, his heart filled with sorrow and fury, longing to end his own life.
How many attacks have there been, but none as brutal as this one.
The barrier was destroyed, and half of the holy city was ruined. All of this was built by the Snake Clan over countless years of hard work.
“Millions of Blue Planet Souls, are you willing to pay that price?” Lu Yu walked over from a distance, surprised and eyeing the Undead King and the snake skull in his hand.
Is the Star Artifact really something only a king can use?
That last strike was too terrifying.
The snake people heard the old snake person’s words and stopped.
They were terrified by a single strike from the Deathless King.
The King of Immortality tossed the snake’s skull to the elder serpent man and coldly said, “Remember this: never use such childish power in front of me again. Star artifacts are not meant for you lot. When someone from your race ascends to kingship, let them come find me with the star artifact! Killing you all is simply not worth my time.”
The old snake man grabbed the skull, trembling all over.
Even if he is now being cursed and scolded mercilessly, he wouldn’t utter a word in response!
The king before them was too terrifying to confront.
“Wait here. I’ll go get the Blue Planet Soul you need right away.”
The old snake man spoke and then left.
The King of Immortality allowed the old serpent man to leave without any concern, fully confident that no one here would dare to deceive him.
The snake people were still standing in their original positions, motionless.
If the old serpent man gives the order again, they will strike once more.
Half a day later, the old snake man arrived, rushing back with a bag, and gritting his teeth while painfully handing it over to Lu Yu, saying: “Each storage bead contains ten thousand Blue Star Souls, and there are one hundred storage beads in total. Count them carefully.”
Lu Yu took the bag and said, “I don’t need to count this right now. I believe you haven’t grown bold enough to dare deceive us.”
Lu Yu nodded toward the Undead King, and the two of them left the Holy City. Then, he signaled to Luo Haotian and the others to depart together.
All the people from Fanggang retreated.
At this moment, the old serpent man stood amidst the ruined cityscape, gazing at the humans in the sky and beyond the city walls. His face contorted with fury as he barked harshly, “Kill them all. Do not spare a single human in this swamp.”
Lu Yu and the Undead King’s extortion enraged the serpent people beyond measure.
They lost tens of millions of soldiers, and even Wang Zun lost nearly a hundred men.
This is a deep-seated enmity rooted in blood.
Since they couldn’t take it out on Lu Yu, they vented their anger on humanity instead.
Anyway, these humans are their enemies too.
For half a year, the human army believed that the serpent warriors they were fighting on the plains were the entirety of the enemy’s elite forces.
They were wrong.
Lu Yu and the Undead King enraged the Serpent Race. At least five hundred million serpent warriors left their holy city, and in the swamp, aside from the assembled kings and a few high-ranking monarchs, no human warriors managed to escape.
Even the humans waiting on the plains outside the marsh could not escape the serpent people’s counterattack, and in the end, only about five thousand human warriors managed to flee from that once-battleground.
Humans then realized how insignificant their power was compared to that of the humanoid races.
…
Lu Yu returned to Fanggang, bringing the Undead King back with him.
News of the Demon Hunting Plains had long reached Earth.
People finally knew where that king was.
After Lu Yu and the Undying King returned, the warriors at Fanggang cheered joyfully to welcome them back.
Liu Xing let out a sigh of relief and said, “There’s no need to look for Wang anymore. Mr. Lu has brought someone back, so finally we have someone to handle the barrier construction.”
In order to complete Lu Yu’s mission, Liu Xing has met with many Kings recently. The worst condition offered by the other party was a star artifact, and the price was naturally extremely high.
He’s still worried about having to spend a lot of money!
It’s all good now.
Lu Yu and a man named Wang returned, and the construction of the barrier was thus set in motion.
The King of Immortality knows what Lu Yu is going to do, for he possesses part of Lu Yu’s memories.
So after arriving at Fanggang, he immediately asked Liu Xing for all the materials needed to build the barrier.
Invulnerable Celestial Canopy, Phantom Veil, Iron Wall, including the King’s Canopy of Stone City…
Since Wang personally constructed the barrier, it was guaranteed to be of the highest quality.
Moreover, when it comes to expenses, Fang Gang truly spared no cost, and all the materials used were top-of-the-line.
Because of King Wang’s presence in Fanggang and his construction of protective barriers, Fanggang has become the safest city in the world for the future.
Countless people approached Liu Xing, all eager to obtain the right to reside in Fanggang’s premier real estate sector.
Even if the right of residence in the first domain is not feasible, the right of residence in the second domain would still work.
But Liu Xing just shook his head at all these.
In the end, who gets to move in will depend on how Lu Yu gives his nod.
They wanted to know where Lu Yu was, but after seeing Liu Xing point towards the core area, they could only wait quietly.
Before the Domain Crystal—
Lu Yu injected a million Blue Planet Souls entirely into the domain crystal.
…
Advanced Domain Guardian — generated from the Soul of Blue Planet.
Moreover, the advanced guards created from a thousand Blue Star Souls have an initial level of Ten Sovereigns.
…
Lu Yu has never had the time or money to do these things.
After all, the consumption of the Blue Planet’s soul was too great.
The tide of doomsday is approaching, and he has to resort to every possible means to make the city’s defenses even stronger.
A million souls of the Blue Planet can create one thousand high-level guards.
Moreover, the guardians generated by the Blue Star Soul possess armor that can be embedded with Star Spirit Pearls or infused with the skills of the domain owner, granting them even greater combat capabilities.
All generated domain guardians can be evolved using evolution liquid, and the highest level of the Blue Star Soul Guardian can evolve into Wan Zun.
Lu Yu infused each elite guard with his own potent venom.
This was his most satisfying and most powerful force.
It is sufficient for defending the city.
As for the Evolution Serum—
Lu Yu, the current situation in Fanggang is that there are now countless vials of evolutionary liquid, with quantities measured in the hundreds of millions.
He does have a technician who is capable of producing the evolution solution.
Over the years, this technician has become more skilled. As long as there are sufficient materials, he can operate hundreds of controllers by himself, producing over 50,000 units of evolution liquid per day!
In addition, since the Phantom Demon can replicate all the powers of a person, when there is nothing else to do, it will use the strength of this individual to create an evolution potion.
The maximum daily output reached as high as one hundred thousand pieces.
Lu Yu evolved every elite guard into a guardian of ten-thousand-fold power.
One thousand elite guards cost Lu Yu ten million drops of evolution liquid, yet Lu Yu didn’t even flinch.
Those who entered the city were startled to find that the number of sculptures on the walls of the First District had increased dramatically.
“Lu Yu has started to strengthen the defense in this area.”
“The end-of-the-world tide is coming, and no one can escape. In the future, this Fangang might be the last city left for humanity.”
Many people looked with envy at the domain’s walls made of star spirit stones, constantly sighing in admiration.
“No matter what it takes, I have to get into the city. I must find a way to enter the First Domain, even if it costs me everything.”
Quite a few people secretly vowed as well.
Because of the king, because of the territory, because of the barrier, more people came to Fanggang, trying to obtain the right to live here!
They wanted to find Lu Yu, but discovered that Lu Yu had been staying inside the core area without coming out.
Satellites from various countries focused on the core area, where they saw Lu Yu throwing a large number of Half-Star Device fragments into a massive screen.
