Before the Heavenly Pit—
Eighteen beast kings went berserk.
They shattered Lu Yu’s body time and again, yet each time, Lu Yu was reborn.
When it comes to the power of rebirth, Lu Yu is truly invincible.
But these are the Eighteen Kings, not the Eighteen Royal Lords.
Lu Yu could not withstand the attack of any single king, let alone eighteen of them attacking together.
The poisoned land and sky turned any life that entered into black water.
The eighteen Beast Kings were too powerful; the mere aura emanating from their bodies was enough to keep the surrounding toxic gas at a distance of dozens of meters away.
Still, countless monstrous creatures, driven into a frenzy, charged madly toward the poisoned land.
Lu Yu didn’t know how many wild beasts had been killed by the poisoned land.
It would be of no use to have even more wild beasts die in his eyes.
Whether the beast crystal can be destroyed is what truly matters.
Boom!
A beast king fell from the sky, its claws slamming onto the ground. The force rebounded through the hard earth, sending shockwaves rippling past Lu Yu.
Lu Yu’s bones were shattered in more than half his body, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
He blocked the Beast King’s attack, but another claw from a second Beast King behind him slashed down his back.
The light on the beast’s claws was like four sharp blades that severed his body.
Poisonous gas surged from Lu Yu’s body, regenerating his flesh and healing the severed parts.
Boom.
Lu Yu was completely corrupted, even his hair strands were entwined with endless black aura.
However, just as he had finished poisoning his opponent, the beast’s roar, transformed into sound waves, shattered his body.
Lu Yu clenched his teeth in anger and said, “Damn it, the difference in strength is too great!”
He and Wang are not even in the same league.
Back then, if the King of Immortality had suppressed him with his true strength, he probably would have been defeated long ago.
Lu Yu was no match for Wang at all, but he kept gritting his teeth and enduring the struggle.
The life value of the beast crystal is becoming lower and lower.
Corrosion at a rate of a thousand per second, the vitality of the beast crystal is dropping extremely fast.
Lu Yu resisted with all his might, using his body to memorize the king’s attack patterns.
Every death, every injury is actually an experience.
In this world, who can stand against eighteen kings as he does!
It would take nearly three hours to fully corrode the attributes of over nine million Zun.
Half an hour later, Lu Yu’s health value had already dropped by one hundred thousand units, and the recovery speed could not keep up with the consumption rate.
Lu Yu had no choice but to fight with all his might. At this point, there was no way he could retreat.
…
“Star Soul Body Refining Technique has reached fifteen percent completion!”
…
“This is—” Lu Yu was stunned!
He never expected such a change would happen either.
His body had indeed undergone several evolutions due to the Golden Beast Blood.
This time, the message received was somewhat alarming.
Lu Yu endured the attacks, trying to memorize the king’s fighting patterns with his body, merely as preparation for the day he would become king himself.
After all, the more one understands the power of the king, the greater the chance he himself will become king.
But being beaten like this, a battle that feels almost like a massacre—could there actually be benefits to it?
In that instant, he was struck by the Beast King’s attack once more, his body crushed into a bloody pulp.
The more damage the beast crystals sustain, the more ferocious these beast kings become.
…
Lu Yu’s health points dropped to 500,000.
…
“Stellar Soul Body Refinement Technique completed 17%!”
…
“Damn it, getting beaten up is actually one of the methods of the Star Soul Body Refining Technique?”
Lu Yu clenched his teeth and cursed in anger.
Moreover, this body cultivation technique is extremely difficult to practice.
This is a battle of disproportionate forces.
But for Lu Yu, as long as there is some benefit, it is worth it.
The King of Immortality and others have already fought their way back into the domain.
The crowd was about to cheer, but then realized that Lu Yu had not returned with them.
“This… this can’t be! Lu Yu is dead!”
Many people immediately felt as if they had fallen into icy depths, standing helplessly and weak within the domain.
This city belongs to Lu Yu. If he dies, who else will be able to command its many defensive capabilities?
Someone pointed in the direction of the sky pit and shouted, “No, he’s not dead! Look there—it must be Lu Yu holding the rear, drawing all the power toward him.”
“Haha, it must be! We still have a chance!”
Many soldiers quickly recovered from their frustration, and their fighting spirit was restored as well.
Soon they received the news.
The beast crystal has already been enveloped by poison and is suffering from continuous damage.
Now all that remains is to wait for the destruction of the beast crystal.
It was indeed Lu Yu staying behind alone that attracted the hatred of all the kings, allowing them to escape.
When he said this, even the kings present could not help but be moved.
Because facing eighteen kings alone, not a single king could be certain of victory, let alone Lu Yu.
If even someone like Lu Yu can survive this, then once he grows stronger again, his power will be beyond their imagination.
Those within the field could still only defend themselves and were utterly unable to break free.
Now they could only wait, waiting for that beast crystal to be destroyed.
They were also praying that Lu Yu would survive.
Three hours…
“Au!”
A group of beasts in a certain area suddenly let out loud cries, and then, like a retreating tide, they withdrew toward the sinkhole that Lu Yu and the others were heading toward.
People were first taken aback, then suddenly shouted out in excitement and joy.
“It worked.”
“Haha, the beast crystal must have been destroyed.”
“We are not far from victory.”
The commoners in the field received the news, and the warriors on the city wall saw it as well.
People saw Lu Yu flying amidst the tide of beasts, heading towards the domain.
Someone excitedly raised their arm in triumph and shouted, “We’re definitely going to win!”
“That’s right, we’re definitely going to win.”
If a beast crystal can be destroyed once, it can certainly be destroyed multiple times.
They will surely be able to destroy all the beast crystals around the city.
When all the retreating beasts had entered the heavenly pit, the earth began to tremble.
Rising rapidly from the hard rocks within the sinkhole, it quickly filled up the sinkhole and also filled in the column of black gas.
Ten heavenly pits have been destroyed, leaving nine heavenly pits and six remaining beastly spaces.
Lu Yu is back.
His face was pale, but his spirit was good.
The elder of the Huaxia clan had never left the first realm. When he saw Lu Yu return, he immediately became excited and said, “Lu Yu, just tell me what kind of recovery items you need.”
This time, the strongest force from Fangang was deployed to destroy a beast crystal.
This is hope.
Prove that they can bring about the descent of darkness.
Lu Yu shook his head, saying, “I just need some time to rest. In six hours——”
Lu Yu looked up at the sky and said, “We should be able to launch another attack before nightfall.”
“Okay!”
The elder of the Huaxia left, and when departing, told Lu Yu to feel free to ask for anything he needed.
As long as this city can be destroyed, so can all the others.
Lou Xiaoyu and others were resting in the first area.
Lu Yu returned to the core area.
In this battle, he was left with only 200,000 HP. Over three hours, eighteen Kings had consumed 500,000 of his HP. This was a terrifying outcome.
At the moment the beast crystal was destroyed, all eighteen Beast Kings turned into ordinary beasts and headed toward the sinkhole, while the mutated herd also returned to normal.
He destroyed the beast crystal, which could be considered as completing the mission.
When Lu Yu opened the task system, he saw the list of completed tasks—rewarding two drops of Wang Blood, ten thousand Blue Star Souls, and ten thousand drops of Evolution Liquid.
“This reward is too stingy for such a difficult task.”
Lu Yu let out a cold snort, feeling very reluctant.
After he submitted his task, he saw another task pop up again.
“Destroy four beast crystals!” Lu Yu frowned, feeling that the tasks issued by the mission system were becoming increasingly difficult to complete.
It’s as if there’s an intelligence deliberately increasing the difficulty of the task.
However, this time also brought significant gains.
The Star Soul Refining Body Technique has been enhanced to 21%.
This meant that if he continued fighting like this and kept enduring the pain, he could complete the Star Soul Body Refining Technique.
The greatest gain, however, was that at the moment the beast crystal shattered, its central core remained intact. As this core fell through the air toward the sinkhole, Lu Yu managed to catch it in his hand, realizing instantly that enduring countless attacks had been entirely worthwhile.
The core of the beast crystal is called the Restoration Crystal!
This core can actually repair broken cities or domains.
In other words, as long as they possess restoration crystals, the city’s walls could continuously repair themselves.
Lu Yu noticed an additional data field indicating the degree of damage displayed on the screen in front of the domain crystal at the core area. The screen showed the extent of damage at various defensive positions across the port.
The damage level of the city wall in the second sector has reached three percent.
A warning also appeared at the top.
Once the damage level reaches thirty percent, a King-level lifeform can forcefully enter the domain.
When the damage level reaches fifty percent, Wang Zun can forcefully enter.
If the damage level reaches seventy-five percent, the light shield of the domain will be effectively destroyed.
A damage rate of three percent is not considered significant.
Lu Yu also discovered hints of several materials beneath the damage level.
A restored crystal can repair 5% of the damage.
After putting away the restored crystal, Lu Yu went to rest.
In six hours, his life value recovered to the peak of 700,000.
The sky was turning dark when Lu Yu and the others set out once again.
It was another arduous battle, and before midnight arrived, the second heavenly pit vanished.
The pressure of the city felt a bit less.
The soldiers cheered, and many of them felt incredibly lucky.
Being able to enter Fanggang was the best decision of their lives.
For the underworld experts in the sixth region, this was their most successful decision ever.
At dawn, Lu Yu and the others launched another attack.
The third tiankuang has been destroyed.
Lu Yu already had three Restoration Crystals in his possession.
Half of the task has been completed.
Boom!
When the beast crystal of the fourth Heaven’s Hollow was destroyed, a king broke through and reclaimed his throne!
At that moment, heaven and earth trembled. Within a radius of two thousand zhang around him, every living being, except for the King, was shattered to death. The King’s might knew no bounds!
“Haha!” the king laughed heartily, feeling extremely delighted. He raised his head to the sky and roared, “After enduring for so many years, I’ve finally risen to power. From this day forward, I will slay anyone who dares to stand in my way!”
He called it the “Heaven-Devouring King,” whose power was sufficient to swallow the heavens themselves.
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
Returning to the domain, everyone rushed over to offer their congratulations.
Lu Yu also congratulated the Heaven-Devouring King, saying, “Congratulations, congratulations. However, according to our agreement, you, the Heaven-Devouring King, should give me a hundred drops of your blood.”
“No problem!” the Sky Devouring King was in a good mood and directly slashed his wrist, collecting a hundred drops of blood into a small vial and handing it to Lu Yu.
Because of the conditions set by Lu Yu when he created the star artifacts for people in various regions on that day.
It’s just about fulfilling the promise made back then.
Three kings joined forces, and the heavenly pit was destroyed more quickly.
The fifth tiankeng was destroyed.
Lu Yu received another task from the mission system.
“Got it, hahaha!” Lu Yu burst into laughter as he looked at the reward from the mission system.
