Chapter 766: This Is Just the Beginning (2)

Countdown to the End of the World: 1 year and 17 days remaining—

The unusual activity in Fanggang did not go unnoticed.

From the sky, it’s just a city.

But in the hearts of many people, this is more than just a city, and has long been regarded as something other than a city.

This is because there is a powerful individual in this city, known as the strongest person in Huaxia, who operates beyond the control of the Huaxia military and is regarded as a headache-inducing figure by many countries.

Here also exists the very first king of all time!

If you want to understand how terrifying a true king can be, go to the city where the parasitic demon king resides, and you will see for yourself.

All powers are but fleeting clouds before the king.

You witnessed the terrifying destruction left behind by the Undying King in that city.

In just one strike, the entire city was engulfed in flames.

Half of the ten million parasitic warriors were burned to death.

To this day, the city is still engulfed in raging flames, illuminating the night sky with its fiery glow.

The great fire raged on without ceasing.

Some people dug a kilometer into the ground, yet underground it remained an endless sea of fire.

The King of Immortality’s palm strike was equivalent to destroying a city, leaving it completely unusable forever.

This place has become a realm of fire, a domain where only the Undying King can set foot.

Many people suspect that the Undying King is the Fire King, but this has never been officially confirmed.

As long as he is the king, that’s enough.

Therefore, many factions are closely watching the current unusual activities in Fanggang.

In particular, organizations that had previously been in conflict or had adversarial relationships with Lu Yu were even more nervous.

The atmosphere in several cities was tense, and countless soldiers were on high alert, swords drawn, not daring to relax for a moment.

Some of the world’s leaders gathered together and discussed, saying, “Which force could it be?”

“Port now has a king, just as Richard became King Richard, this is his era, unstoppable by anyone.”

King and King Zun are not the same. King Zun can resist, but what about the King? Even those who have not yet reached the King’s level of power have chosen silence. They were once Kings, and they understand the King’s strength better than anyone else.

“Indeed, the strongest person of an era—this is the ultimate combat power capable of sweeping through an entire age.”

“What exactly does Lu Yu intend to do?”

The uncrowned kings gathered in Fanggang. The King of Violence and the King of Rebirth were also in Fanggang, while the Immortal King was still setting up barriers.

It seemed like a laborer, continuously refining materials with flames and then placing them in different positions.

But once the battle begins, this is the most terrifying warrior in the world.

The warriors of Fanggang have already gathered, and some organizations that once opposed Fanggang are now forced to become tense.

However, there has been unusual activity in Fanggang for three days already, yet there has been no response.

It completely lacks the lightning speed needed to deal with the Parasitic Demon King.

This反而 makes them feel even more uneasy.

Because during this period, the movements of any organization could not possibly be minor actions.

Countdown to the End Times: 1 Year and 10 Days Remaining—

Fanggang still hasn’t made a move. The warriors in the city, aside from going out for hunting and cultivation, no longer interact with any organizations or factions.

This left them even more confused.

During this period, even Lu Yu had not been seen appearing.

Some forces became even more nervous.

The core field of Fanggang – under the starry sky.

Three large stars shimmered among the constellation in the sky, appearing so close to the ground that they seemed within reach if one simply stretched out their hand.

Three powerful beams of starlight descended from the sky, each one enveloping the central figures one by one.

This person’s entire body was covered with bulging veins, the muscles pulsing visibly.

Three beams of starlight descended from the sky, scattering countless sparks that were now flowing into his body.

Kun and the King of Destruction controlled the starlight, their gazes heavy as they focused on the figure within the beam of stardust.

Three beams of starlight converged on a single figure, whose body was wrapped in radiant starlight and encircled by flowing rivers of stars.

This person is indeed Lu Yu.

At this moment, he is harnessing the combined stellar power of the three gathered individuals to enhance his strength.

Both Kun and the Violent King possess the Star-Calling Art, and Lu Yu himself also wields it. At this moment, the three great experts are using the Star-Calling Art together, tripling the amount of star power they harness.

Lu Yu stood at the center of three beams of starlight, every pore on his body acting like a bottomless abyss, devouring the massive influx of celestial light raining down from the heavens.

With one breath, Lu Yu drew in a massive influx of starlight through his mouth and nose, which transformed into three celestial rivers flowing into his body.

His strength increased, and thus he required more star power.

With every breath, the three bright stars in the sky momentarily dimmed, then regained their brightness.

With every breath Lu Yu took, a rumbling thunder resounded within his body. His entire body trembled as if mighty dragons lay dormant within his muscles, writhing and undulating.

Another breath…

As Lu Yu’s power within his body surged, his strength instantly multiplied a hundredfold.

The ten geniuses among the Eyepatch Clan on the periphery have already become Kings.

But now, facing Lu Yu, he felt a deep, soul-born fear and trembling.

Lu Yu had long since surpassed Wang Zun’s power; it could be said now that his strength could annihilate Wang Zun in an instant.

Because even from a considerable distance, the group could now feel the storm-like surge of Lu Yu’s breath sweeping through this space.

Kun could stand beside Lu Yu only by relying on the armor that continuously appeared on his body.

That was armor with a defense power of millions, each piece priceless and invaluable.

Nowadays, these armors need to be changed every hour.

Because these armors could at best last for an hour before being shattered beyond repair by Lu Yu’s breath.

The King of Violence remains motionless. A king who has reached the breakthrough stage possesses immense power.

The Tyrant King is even more different; his power seems even more terrifying.

Bang! One of Lu Yu’s arms suddenly exploded into a mist of blood. The scattered flesh and blood recoiled, then condensed to form a new arm.

Kun’s voice sank: “Lu Yu, if you forcefully absorb it like this, you might not even survive if you can’t withstand it.”

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and did not answer Kun. Instead, he opened his mouth and inhaled sharply once more, a frigid breath so intense that even the stars in the sky seemed on the verge of vanishing.

“There’s still one year left; I can’t afford to waste it. My Wang Zun bone can absorb the power of stars to enhance my strength. I must break through during this time.”

Lu Yu’s King’s Sacred Bone can be strengthened to its limit by absorbing the power of the stars.

Lu Yu never stopped absorbing either. However, over the years, no matter how much his power increased, even after breaking through the milestone of ten thousand zuns, he still had not reached his limit.

Lu Yu suspected that this might be related to the talent of the uncrowned king.

Moreover, his own talent was no longer just the “Unadorned King,” but had evolved into the “Dual King’s Gift.” Such an evolution could very likely trigger the mutation of the King’s Sacred Bone.

Therefore, Lu Yu intended to use this period of time to focus on improving himself, and this time he was really going to give it his all.

Bang!

As Lu Yu spoke, his chest exploded open once again.

A fist-sized hole was spewing blood outward.

However, as the blood arrow was shot out, it quickly flowed back toward the chest.

“Enough to impress Kun Du, who couldn’t help but admire Lu Yu.”

These days, Lu Yu had never stopped enduring the pain of his body being on the verge of exploding.

The star power contained within the three beams of starlight was too immense.

Moreover, Lu Yu forcibly absorbed the star energy, first suppressing and then refining and integrating it within his body, where it coalesced into a massive amount of undissolvable stellar power.

He himself was like a time bomb; if he couldn’t withstand the explosion, the resulting force would certainly rival Wang Quan’s ultimate strike.

Lu Yu’s initial days were such that the stellar energy entering his body would cause him to explode once every second; now, it happens only once every few minutes, which is already a significant improvement.

Lu Yu didn’t call for a stop, and neither Kun nor the Violent King halted.

Time seemed to be becoming increasingly insufficient for Lu Yu.

With one year and five days remaining until the end of the world, Lu Yu’s power broke through to three hundred thousand Zun.

Boom—

A sudden, astonishing thunderclap erupted from within Lu Yu, the sound of the thunder shaking the heavens.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s heart gave a slight beat, sending tremors through the air around him that cracked the space for tens of thousands of feet.

A crack swept across Kun’s body, slicing his armor in half at the waist.

Even Kun was cut into two pieces.

The Violent King retreated swiftly, withdrawing ten thousand zhang in the span of a breath, yet he was still grazed by the crack.

The Violent King let out a muffled grunt and was sent flying backward for dozens of miles before he managed to steady himself.

If it weren’t for the infinite starry sky, King Bao Lie would have already crashed into the barrier.

His eyes widened with surprise as he stared at Lu Yu.

The void crack only appeared for an instant before vanishing.

As for Yu Kun and others, they were even more astonished.

Lu Yu became the King Zun. The power that had just manifested was the strength that only appears when one becomes the King Zun.

As Lu Yu became the King’s Zun, all of his powers were withdrawn and concealed.

Kun and the others could only sense the aura of Wang Zun from Lu Yu’s body, and could no longer detect even the slightest fluctuation of any other presence.

Whether it was the demonic energy or the Star-Calling Art, it seemed as if they had both vanished in an instant.

“It’s done!” Lu Yu clenched his fists, feeling the power surging through his body, and burst into laughter.

“Was the final change of Wang Zun’s bones the sealing?” Kun swept his gaze over Lu Yu and said, “He sealed away all of your powers.”

“That’s right. From now on, I’m merely a Wangzun, a true Wangzun.” Lu Yu nodded and said, “Qun, thank you and everyone else for your hard work all these years. Now, come with me outside; there’s no need for you to hide anymore.”

“Leave here?” Kun and the others were taken aback. They had almost forgotten their own existence while staying here, and had forgotten that they should go out for a walk.

Kun smiled and said, “Yes, it’s time to go out for a walk. I should see what your era is like, and also witness what the end-of-days tide will look like in this age.”

“Let’s go! It’s time to take action, King Bao Lie.”

Lu Yu signaled to the Violent King and stepped into the starry teleportation formation.

Lu Yu walked out of his room, the first time since returning to Fanggang.

In the core area, nearly ten thousand people had already gathered here.

So many people staying here have already made it crowded.

After waiting for so many days, when the group saw Lu Yu reappear, they couldn’t help but all stand up.

Lu Yu looked at the crowd and nodded with a smile, saying, “For a long time, Fang Gang has remained quiet, following the principle of ‘if others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them.’ But starting today, everything they owe us must be repaid!”

The smile on Lu Yu’s face faded into a cold and stern expression right after he finished speaking.

Boom!

At the same time, the suppressed power within Lu Yu’s body erupted like a volcano.

Snap!

A stream of energy surged upward from the top of his head, piercing through the clouds into the sky.

A fissure stretching thousands of feet in length appeared in the sky above Fanggang, as if the heavens themselves had been split apart.

The kings in the city of Fanggang saw and felt it as well.

They were greatly surprised and quickly realized what had happened.

“Wang Zun!”

“This is Lu Yu’s aura; he has become a King’s Venerable.”

Boom!

All the soldiers at Fanggang immediately burst into cheers.

Lu Yu has finally broken through and become a King Ancestor!

He was already capable of defeating a king-ranked expert in an instant before he even became a king himself. What would happen now?

Beyond the city of Fanggang, even satellites in the sky could detect this unusual phenomenon involving Lu Yu.

Become Wang Zun and possess the power to tear through the void.

But even with their full strength, their attacks couldn’t reach even one percent of Lu Yu’s power.

What is Lu Yu doing? Is he demonstrating his strength to the entire world?

Lu Yu shouted loudly, “All core domain warriors, pay attention! There are some people who deserve to be dealt with, and now is the time to settle the score. Follow me! After today, anyone who dares to provoke Fanggang will be completely wiped out!”
