Lu Yu roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield and reverberating throughout the entire defense port.
This city belongs to him.
Now that he had shouted those words, no matter the reason, everyone in the city had to take action.
With a loud command, the British major general led the charge out of the territory, shouting fiercely, “Block the beasts from rushing the city walls! Do not allow them to get close!”
“Charge!”
Countless warriors from the first zone swung their weapons and leaped directly out of the domain.
Before they even landed, their skills had already been unleashed.
…
In the military area of Huaxia, a lieutenant general waved his hand and shouted, “As planned, all soldiers will be divided into three teams—first team, attack; second team, prepare.”
“Prevent the beast from charging.”
The people from the fourth region also mobilized. Two hundred thousand warriors divided into three formations, and the first formation likewise leaped out of the city.
…
In the third zone, a person completely wrapped in countless fire dragons charged into the beast horde like a fiery creature emerging from a hellish inferno. His flames instantly incinerated thousands of beasts, creating a small vacuum around him.
However, in an instant, the fiery man was also engulfed by the flames.
…
Everyone received orders to stop the beasts. Their mission was to defend the city at all costs.
“Kill!”
Warriors in all regions began to move.
The area where the Reborn Demon Clan is located is supported by Luo Haotian and others, while Xue Ji and others are taking action in the territory of the Blazing King.
From the ninth to the tenth sector, the area is guarded by soldiers from Fanggang. These soldiers are responsible for this region, but in terms of numbers, they are certainly insufficient.
However, in these two areas, there gathered three thousand Flame Giants, ten thousand regular Domain Guardians, ten thousand advanced Domain Guardians, ten thousand elite Domain Guardians, and fifty thousand Bone Warriors.
These people alone are equivalent to the combined strength of over a hundred thousand powerful individuals.
The entire perimeter of Fanggang City became a battlefield.
Within just ten minutes, more than two hundred million beasts gathered outside Fanggang City. Mountains formed by piles of beasts collapsed like avalanches.
The beast at the foot of the mountain climbed up and reached the summit, while the one at the top descended to the bottom.
It’s just like rolling a snowball—the further it moves forward, the larger this mountain of beasts becomes.
Within the city, many warriors had merely found the sight magnificent. However, only after stepping out and advancing onto the battlefield did they realize how much pressure the towering city walls and their domain had shielded them from.
When they were truly on the battlefield, they felt ten times more pressure.
At this moment, when they looked at Lu Yu again, they had nothing more to say.
Because Lu Yu was facing millions of beasts all by himself.
Suddenly—
A general of the Xia Dynasty suddenly shouted loudly, “Hear my command! Form the battle array, charge forward, and kill the beasts—more, the better!”
The British military major general also shouted loudly: “Pass the order down: all soldiers should focus on killing the beasts, not on stopping their charge.”
Poplar also shouted orders loudly on the battlefield in front of the third zone—the command was the same: to kill the enemy, not to block them.
They are not ordinary people; their vision extends extremely far.
As soon as he stepped onto the battlefield, he immediately grasped the situation under the pressure.
The purpose of this beast tide is destruction, so if you block it, it will only result in an even greater number of beasts.
Now it’s more than 200 million heads.
If their numbers continue to increase, this city, or even this planet, will be overwhelmed by beasts.
By then, it won’t just be a shock of 200 million beasts, but possibly billions or even tens of billions.
To hold this city, we must kill more beasts.
The fewer the number of beasts, the safer the city.
As soon as the order was given, the battlefield became even bloodier and more brutal!
…
The heavy rain fell like a waterfall, dripping onto the earth and onto the bodies of the beasts.
In just a few breaths, some beasts that had merely numbered in the thousands had already increased their strength by a hundredfold.
The black rain that fell upon the ground did not seep in; instead, it rose up like mist.
Now the black mist on the ground is less than a quarter of an inch thick.
Moreover, it was not covering the entire ground, but rather appeared in some areas as black mist while other places remained clear.
Such black mist over the land was like a faint, rising vapor, barely worth noticing.
However, when some of the beasts stepped onto the black mist and inhaled its vapors, their power surged even more violently.
The warrior tribesmen who were caught in the black rain and stepped into the black mist let out howls one after another, their veins bulging as their strength surged dramatically.
“Roar.”
A black wolf stood upon the dark mist, its entire body trembling as its smooth fur began to shed, revealing hard, shield-like scales rapidly emerging on its beastly hide.
At first, these scales seemed sparse when viewed initially, but in the blink of an eye, they spread to cover the entire body.
“Au!”
The black wolf has mutated, instantly enhancing its strength by hundreds of levels.
Someone exclaimed in alarm, “This black rain can actually cause beasts to mutate!”
The experienced warrior shouted loudly, “This is a Scale-armored Wolf, not an ordinary beast anymore. It now has skill-based attacks.”
“Au.”
In another direction, the roar of beasts also rose in alarm.
Thousands of lions inhaled the black mist, transforming into manticore-like creatures with scorpion tails and eagle wings, their power increasing by more than a thousandfold.
The black rain keeps falling, pouring down relentlessly!
The black mist was rising higher and higher, covering the ground, yet it was still only a quarter of an inch high.
A large number of beasts are mutating, and the pressure on the warriors is increasing dramatically.
The number of beasts not only failed to decrease but actually increased.
The addition of a million warriors and the mighty impact of the Kings’尊 cannot reduce the numbers of these beasts.
Lu Yu felt like he was about to become a machine.
He found himself trapped in the midst of a herd of beasts, unable to move forward even an inch.
He doesn’t have the ability to teleport or fly.
He was surrounded by beasts, as if transported back to that mysterious space of the fierce beast battlefield.
The beasts that cannot be slain—
Lu Yu could feel the pressure mounting.
“This is the first wave of the apocalypse tide, this is the descent of darkness?” Lu Yu was overwhelmed with shock.
It seemed as if there were no end to these things, the beasts were endless.
If it’s like this in Fanggang, then other cities must be the same!
Lu Yu had lost count of how many beasts he had killed or how many punches he had thrown.
The black mist beneath his feet had already risen to an inch in height; at the very least, three days had passed.
After Lu Yu initially rushed out, it became too difficult for him to return to the city.
It took him three days to walk back a thousand meters, and he was still a thousand meters away from his domain.
Normally, all it takes is a quick step forward or a sudden charge.
It’s hard to take even a single step now.
Day four…
Lu Yu suddenly sensed that the puppet of the City Lord of Stone City had been injured.
“What? Even the king can be injured?” Lu Yu was greatly shocked.
Then he received information from the puppet.
Puppets are surrounded by tens of millions of beasts; in fact, the stronger the warrior, the more beasts they attract.
Beasts cannot harm puppets.
However, the mutated beasts are different. Their combat effectiveness and attacking power have been enhanced in the black mist and black rain.
A mutated Tiger King, before his death, tore a piece of flesh from the shoulder of a puppet.
Although it was just a single bite, it greatly surprised Lu Yu.
The King is invincible, and he has indeed fought against true Kings before.
How hard would it be to hurt a king?
The black rain has actually caused the beasts to evolve to the point of being able to injure the King. This is still not even the true beginning of the darkness.
If things continue like this, these beasts will only become even more terrifying.
By then, it might really be possible to kill even a king.
Lu Yu issued orders to the puppet to return to the city and launch an attack relying on his domain.
This way, there will be no enemies attacking from behind, reducing nearly half of the damage.
Lu Yu also accelerated his attack speed.
It was only after two days that Lu Yu finally stepped into the territory of Fanggang. He was gasping for breath, never imagining that this was just the beginning of the darkness descending.
At this moment, he noticed many unusual glances around him looking in his direction.
Some people immediately showed expressions as if they were looking at a monster.
Some people were both admiring and envious.
Lu Yu had no time to pay attention to the gazes of these people. He leaned against the edge of the city wall, drank water heartily, ate a few bites of food, and then closed his eyes to rest.
However, Lu Yu soon gathered some information from people’s conversations.
In the past few days of being trapped within the beast horde, warriors from each region have already taken multiple rests.
Eventually, people from all regions had to divide themselves into three formations, just like the Huaxia people.
One team rests, one team prepares, one team waits.
That’s how it was; each team could hold out for at most around six hours.
Moreover, each team that returned was certain to have hundreds of people dead.
The moment Lu Yu stepped into the Fangang territory, the expressions on the people’s faces revealed their realization that surviving among the beast horde for nearly six days without perishing was not a miracle, but a testament to his strength.
Their group of six or seven hundred thousand resisted the beast horde, and at most, they could only hold on for a few hours before their physical strength was exhausted and their spirits worn out.
Moreover, each person would at most be facing a few thousand beasts.
Lu Yu survived one by one while facing the onslaught of a million wild beasts within the herd.
The gap between people.
When Lu Yu opened his eyes half an hour later and stood up, preparing to step out of the domain once again, astonished cries erupted from all around him.
“My goodness, is this still a human being?”
“Lu Yu seems to have rested for only half an hour. How come he has recovered his energy so quickly?”
Lu Yu pretended not to hear those voices.
His eyes were fixed only on the city and the beasts.
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed from the sky, saying, “Within every beast nest lies a beast crystal; destroy the crystal, and you destroy the nest. Warriors, destroy all the beast crystals, and you will survive the first wave of the apocalypse tide. Strive hard, for this is the only way you can survive. Either perish within the endless beast tide, or destroy the crystals and live.”
The sound rolled through the air alongside a thunderous roar, lingering for a long time without fading.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, and one by one, they all showed expressions of excitement.
Lu Yu suddenly recalled the crystal in the center of the Beast Realm and murmured to himself, “Could that be the Beast Crystal?”
The sound gave them a glimmer of hope.
However, Lu Yu’s expression was serious and heavy.
Only by stepping into the herd can you truly understand how difficult it is to take even a single step within.
The nearest sinkhole to Fanggang City is also ten kilometers away. At his current condition, it would probably take him a month to get there, and that’s assuming the beasts’ strength hasn’t increased.
And the beast space is even further away.
“I’ll try.” Outside the city, Lu Yu, who had not retreated all along, snorted coldly. He struck the Dragon Bone of War away and then dashed toward a ferocious beast space.
Boom—
Hundreds of thousands of mutated beasts, now gifted with flight, surged toward the Immortal King all at once across the sky.
And the countless wild beasts upon the earth also leaped up.
They seemed to know the Lich King’s objective and immediately blocked his path forward.
The kings mounted on the dragon bones glared fiercely. They rode back toward the Undead King and shouted, “I’ve also received divine orders to protect the beast crystal! None of you will get close to it!”
“As long as this city is destroyed, we will receive the gods’ reward, so you must die.”
More arcane warriors rushed toward the Undead King with their battle bones.
Even a king would be momentarily blocked.
This momentary obstruction is enough for millions of beasts to pull the Immortal King down from the sky.
Lu Yu could see everything clearly from the city. He narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam appearing in his gaze.
“Lu Yu, this won’t work if we continue like this—activate the Star Artifact!” the Regeneration King appeared beside Lu Yu and said, “Let the Undead King use the Star Artifact; we should be able to get close enough. The Star Artifact you gave me—lend it temporarily to the Undead King. I believe this beast tide can be resolved quickly.”
“One or two star artifacts definitely won’t work,” Lu Yu shook his head. “Let’s wait a bit longer.”
Lu Yu ordered the puppet to return immediately.
The puppet has collected quite a few King Zun bodies these days. He intends to take this opportunity to enter the Celestial God System once again.
