The star-forged armor lifted off the ground, feeling as heavy as a mountain in Lu Yu’s hands. Even with the transformation into a demon king, his entire body remained tense.
However, the fact that the Star Armor was lifted indicates that he is capable of using it.
“Haha, it can move!”
Lu Yu was overjoyed.
Although he could only lift the heavy armor half a meter high, as long as it moved, it meant there was a chance for him to use this armor.
Lu Yu excitedly put down the armor and circled around it, examining it from all sides for a long time.
He well knew that although the infinite power of the uncrowned king was unavailable, the third ability of the King’s Skill granted him temporary access to a portion of the king’s power.
Now, as long as the Star Armor can move, he can use it.
Lu Yu began to integrate the Starlight Armor into his body according to the method left behind on the crystal coffin.
This armor is too unique; even fusing with it is extremely difficult.
It took Lu Yu a full six hours to integrate the Starlight Armor into his body.
He felt as if his body were weighed down by one lead ball after another, making his movements somewhat awkward.
Once the Demon King Transformation was activated, movement returned to normal and was no longer affected by anything.
Lu Yu released the Starlight Armor.
The moment the armor appeared, the entire area began to shake violently.
This is a star artifact refined using two quintillion Star Spirit Stones. Just considering the weight of the stones alone, this armor is already incredibly terrifying.
At once, Lu Yu felt as if he were trapped inside a massive armored cage, making his movements even more difficult.
Every movement of his hands and feet became as if filled with lead, making it quite difficult to move.
“Whether I can use it or not, I’ll take it away first,” Lu Yu gritted his teeth, unfastened the Star Armor, and then reverted from his Demon King Transformation, moving forward using only his original strength.
This kind of movement was somewhat slow and required a great deal of effort. However, for Lu Yu, it was also a method of cultivation.
Lu Yu opened the remaining boxes, each of which contained some extremely rare items.
A box contains a crystal case, and inside the case lies a star soul.
This is a mutated Star Soul, and it seems to have already begun merging with the soul.
“Before his death, he separated his mutated star soul from his spirit, leaving it behind for future generations?” Lu Yu murmured to himself, greatly admiring this person.
Lu Yu opened the other boxes, each containing some precious items.
He possesses powerful king-level skills and also the methods for crafting star artifacts. Moreover, he found a mutated Star Spirit Pearl here, which is related to the art of forging weapons.
“The most precious and best thing I have now should be my blood,” Lu Yu thought. He carefully collected a hundred drops of his blood, placed them into a bottle, and then stored the bottle inside an empty box. He also left some words written on the stone platform outside the box.
He is not a king, but his blood can transform into an extremely potent poison, a toxic blood surpassing even the venom of poison dragons. At times, one hundred drops of this toxic blood can be considered as valuable as a star artifact.
Lu Yu meticulously documented the changes he underwent after acquiring the venom of the Poisonous Dragon. He also provided a detailed description of the Poison King’s attributes. Should he fail to survive the apocalypse tide, this record would serve as his legacy.
After finishing his review, Lu Yu found that aside from the Divine Edge fragment, the only thing he could use was the Starlight Heavy Armor.
The remaining items are currently not usable by anyone in Fanggang.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment as he was preparing to leave. He recorded everything he had experienced during this stage of the apocalypse tide—the sinkholes, the beast dimension, the sinkholes again, the possible emergence of kings near the sinkholes, and the mutation of the beasts—and left the notes inside the box.
“These experiences alone are worth an artifact of the stars. Having taken so much, it’s time to leave something behind.”
After leaving these behind, Lu Yu smiled and then departed from the core area.
At this moment, outside Fanggang, the Beast Sea had already arrived. An endless tide of wild beasts covered the mountains and fields, attacking the city from all directions.
Outside the city walls, the sea of beasts surged once again, and the harbor, which had been calm for only four days, was once more shrouded in an atmosphere thick with blood.
However, the field could be repaired, and with Lu Yu and others destroying the surrounding beast crystals, hope was restored to many warriors.
Even in defense, many warriors became quite proactive.
When Lu Yu returned, Yang Bai and others had already been waiting in the first realm with the materials for the star artifacts.
This time, it was to be refined separately by Kun, Lu Yu, and Huan Mo.
Then, ten Cyclops geniuses provided support.
In three months, the six star artifacts were forged once again.
During this period, many warriors in Fanggangcheng advanced to the rank of King Revered, and some even acquired the nascent forms of Kingly Skills.
The defenses of Fangang have been significantly strengthened, but the beasts have also become equally more powerful.
During these three months, Lou Xiaoyu and the others were not idle either. Everyone was well aware of their insufficient strength, and had been actively seeking ways to enhance their power over the past few days.
The day when the six Star Artifacts were completed was also the day when Lu Yu and the others set out.
For the first time, Lu Yu used his own blood, dripping it into the blood puppet, and created three puppets of himself.
Their control is respectively held by Liu Xing, Luo Haotian, and Shi Hu.
Once the enemy encounters resistance at Fanggang, the area attack power of these three puppets will be sufficient to hold them off.
As everyone was preparing to leave, the old man from Huaxia approached Lu Yu alone and said earnestly, “There are some things I haven’t told others. This time, when you lead people out of this city, you’ll face not only the beast tide from the twenty-eight cities, but the entire Huaxia.”
Lu Yu frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
The old man said seriously, “Lu Yu, there’s more to this than I’ve told you. It’s not just beasts from dozens of cities heading toward Fanggang—it’s every single city in all of Huaxia. We’re focusing our defenses on thirty key cities, but the truth is, as long as a city exists, there will be beast crystals there. That means, besides those thirty priority cities, there are still three hundred and seventy-six other cities across Huaxia that contain beast crystals.”
“You—” Lu Yu’s face paled drastically as he stammered, “Are you saying we’re going to destroy all the beast crystals in every city of Huaxia?”
“That’s right,” the old man nodded. “This time it’s not a joke. If the beast crystal of a city is not destroyed, the darkness will surely come.”
Lu Yu clenched his teeth and said fiercely, “If you hide such information again next time, I will definitely kill you!”
The old man shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “I’m afraid there won’t be a future. If you cannot destroy these beast crystals, the descent of darkness is inevitable.”
“Old man, I won’t stop you if you want to die. But remember this: I don’t want to die. Not only will I survive, but I will also ensure this city survives the apocalypse.”
Lu Yu replied coldly and turned to leave.
The Heaven-Devouring King and others had already been waiting at the edge of the domain. Seeing Lu Yu approach, he laughed loudly and said, “This time there’s no city for us to rest in—once we leave this city, it’ll truly be a fight to the death.”
The King of Immortality laughed and said, “Wanting to die? Not so easily!”
“Don’t worry, I have a way to provide a shield for you,” Lu Yu replied with a smile.
Another king said, “Go!”
The five mutated star souls: Slaughter, Moon Radiance, Chaos, Blazing Flames, and Blood Tears.
Also including the Heaven Swallower King, Storm King, Blade Armor King, War Dragon King, Golden King, plus the Undying King and his puppets, a total of twelve beings along with eight Star Artifacts.
This time, it was three kings along with nine warriors, who could be considered the most elite fighters in this world, stepping out of their domains together.
“Roar!”
Lu Yu directly unleashed the Demon Nest, releasing over a hundred mighty dragons each possessing an attack power of seven hundred thousand. They surged in all directions like a torrent.
In an instant, the countless beasts outside the city were shattered into a rain of blood.
As long as the king does not appear, Lu Yu is invincible.
Over a hundred dragon kings from the Demon Nest led the way, and no wild beasts could approach within a thousand zhang around the group.
Moving from Fanggang towards the twenty-eight major cities of Huaxia, the journey was marked by nothing but mountains, forests, and wild beasts along the way.
Because of the old man’s words, Lu Yu paid special attention to the city as it moved forward.
Less than a hundred miles ahead lay a city.
When Lu Yu and others approached, the city had already been destroyed, leaving only ruined remnants and countless wild beasts within.
There are ten heavenly pits, six of which still contain beastly realms. Although no more creatures are emerging, endless black rain continues to fall from the sky.
There were millions of beasts piled up like mountains around the beast crystal.
The seemingly sleeping herd is merely resting.
The King of the Undead coldly remarked, “There are at least two kings in this city.”
Lou Xiaoyu asked in a low voice, “Lu Yu, are we going to fight our way through all the way?”
“Destroy this place. The fewer beast crystals there are, the better our chances of winning,” Lu Yu replied, clenching his teeth and waving his hand.
Regardless of whether the old man had deceived him or not, all the beast crystals had to be completely destroyed.
The Heaven-Devouring King coldly replied, “Then let us fight.”
Having restored his kingly power, his confidence has also returned.
“Everyone, this time we can’t afford to waste any time. We must fight with all our strength.”
Lu Yu cut his finger, letting ten drops of blood fall, and solemnly distributed them to the group, saying, “This is my blood—it is both a deadly poison and an antidote. Consume it, and you will no longer fear my poison, allowing you to unleash your full strength within the toxic fumes.”
Ten drops of blood are for ten people, excluding him and the Undead King, including the puppets.
Tian Wang and others were shocked, and several of them showed visible surprise.
They’ve seen Lu Yu’s poison before. Once it takes effect on the King, even the King won’t be able to escape.
Everyone had long suspected that the poison affecting Lu Yu was a deadly toxin far more terrifying than the Dragon毒.
Many people fear Lu Yu, but what they dread even more is his poison.
Now Lu Yu has given them the power to detoxify, which is a true release.
The others, including Wang Tian, knew this was no time for hesitation. They quickly raised their heads and let the blood drops into their mouths.
The metallic taste of blood spread in his mouth, instantly transforming into a surge of heat that coursed through his entire body!
“Evil King Transformation!”
Boom—
Lu Yu’s aura underwent a drastic change, and Wang Wei released his power.
He directly transformed into the Demon King, his entire body engulfed in blue flames, and the slowing effect caused by the Starlight Armor vanished.
Boom!
Twelve figures suddenly erupted into action, unleashing their full strength as they lunged toward the beast crystal.
The group moved at an extremely fast pace. When they breached the three-kilometer radius around the beast crystal, a million wild beasts began to undergo mutations.
Although the twelve individuals had already pushed their speed to the limit, the well-prepared group acted in one swift motion and instantly crashed into the beast crystal.
The demon’s nest raged violently. Lu Yu and the three kings pushed their powers to the limit. In an instant, the beast mountain was shaken to pieces and crashed into the beast crystals.
“Au.”
Eighteen Beast Kings also successfully underwent mutation instantly.
Boom!
Lu Yu placed one foot firmly on the ground.
Buzz, the Poisoned Land has been activated.
The power of the Demon King’s transformation enhanced the Poison King’s abilities, expanding the range of the poison to five hundred zhang.
The toxic gas burned directly onto the beast crystal.
“Roar!”
All the beasts in the city sprang into action.
One beast mountain after another collapsed.
