Chapter 811: Star Artifact—Starlight Sword

Outside Fanggang City, the roars of beasts echoed continuously into the sky.

Five masses of black mist connected together, emitting an astonishing aura.

The roar of the beast pierced through the domain light shield, causing countless people in the city to spit blood and their bodies to crack.

This sound even reached the dome of the First Field, causing it to vibrate with a humming resonance.

People were terrified, watching the black mist with their blood nearly freezing in horror.

The merging of the black mist is not only increasing in quantity, but also becoming more powerful and terrifying.

At this moment, cheers were echoing from the First Domain.

More than forty thousand resurrected people were cheering.

They moved their limbs, looked at the marks on their bodies that they originally should have had, and confirmed that they had indeed been resurrected.

Because not even the slightest mark on their bodies was missing.

Lu Yu kept his promise and brought back to life all those who had died defending Fangang.

They thanked Lu Yu for giving them a new life.

Then all that remains is for them to fulfill their promises.

“Battle!” someone shouted, waving their weapon high.

“Battle!”

More than 40,000 people raised their arms and shouted in unison, charging together toward the Second Domain.

No one rested, and no one retreated.

Under the guidance of their former companion, they made their way toward the Seventh and Eighth Domains.

The sky grew dark as five swirling masses of black mist descended like storm clouds, enveloping a section of the city wall in Fanggang!

Boom!

Five clusters of black mist transformed into a massive sphere of darkness with a diameter of five thousand zhang, looming over the domain like a vast shadow.

Its attack was like a giant python swinging its tail, causing the city to tremble with a light quake.

Countless eyes gleamed with menacing light within the dark fog, as if hungry beasts were staring at the warriors inside the city.

The warriors launched their skills across the domain to strike down their enemies, not giving up even if their efforts seemed to vanish like a stone sinking into the sea.

Now the only thing they can do is to kill one as soon as they get one.

If we don’t kill them, they won’t stand a chance.

Zhou Dahai and others were still outside the city, but this time they were no longer arrogant.

Everyone’s expression was extremely cold and grim, unleashing full power to attack the barrier, resembling grim reapers.

Lu Yu could hear the endless roars of beasts outside the city, and the city itself was trembling.

He knew that now he had everything, except for time and strength.

The task of killing the king has finally been completed.

He submitted the task when he opened the task system.

“Congratulations. You have completed the task of slaying a king. Now, you are rewarded with a choice.”

“Option One: Reward you with one hundred drops of royal blood, fifty thousand points in attack power, physique, and health, and a random weapon.”

“Option two: Enhance your body and specially strengthen one of your abilities.”

“Such a choice?” Lu Yu frowned.

The first option is tempting.

However, the second option was also not bad for him.

Both options can significantly enhance his combat strength.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and then chose the first reward.

The second option, although it could allow him to achieve greater potential.

But the first option is more needed for him now.

“Congratulations on your choice. Wang Xue is the blood of a king, a hundred drops of blood.”

“You will be rewarded with 500,000 respect in attack power, physical strength, and health points respectively.”

A voice echoed in Lu Yu’s ear, and he could feel a massive amount of energy flowing into his body.

His attributes have been enhanced to fifteen million.

“Based on your abilities, a weapon will now be randomly assigned to you!”

Then, a white light flickered in front of Lu Yu, followed by a rift opening in the space. From within the rift, a tall metal cabinet, several zhang long and one zhang wide, fell to the ground.

Bang.

This metal cabinet was incredibly heavy, and when it hit the ground, it kicked up quite a bit of dust.

Lu Yu was startled.

Because he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble involuntarily.

Such weight made him involuntarily think of the Star Armor.

Because the current land is very difficult to destroy.

Even Yukihime, using the last and strongest of her king-making skills, could only create a crack in the earth.

Even a full-force strike from someone like Wang would barely make the ground tremble like this.

However, the cabinet in front of him was so heavy that it seemed to weigh even more than King Wang’s strength.

Can he even use such a weapon?

Lu Yu gently opened the cabinet door, trying to see what was inside.

The metal cabinet door wasn’t heavy; with just a little force, he pushed it open.

Lu Yu had just opened a gap about half a foot wide when he immediately closed it again.

“Did I see that right?” Lu Yu rubbed his eyes hard and reopened the cabinet door.

He heard countless clinking sounds of swords in his ears, and behind the cabinet door before his eyes, there was actually a small enclosed space.

This small space was filled with sharp swords.

Each sword is three chi in length, with a light blue hue, emitting a sharp and radiant glow.

At this moment, Lu Yu also obtained information about the weapon – the Star Ocean Sword.

Rank – Star Artifact.

Sealed within this small space is not a single weapon, but an entire set.

Among the information he obtained, there were a total of one billion Star Swords in the Star Sea. When all the weapons were combined, they formed a celestial weapon—the Starlight Sword.

When separated, although each of them could not possibly reach the power of a Stellar Artifact.

However, just as they are now, these billion-long swords are connected by blue beams of light, possessing defensive power comparable to that of a star artifact.

Moreover, each of these swords had no attribute markings.

This means that when these one billion long swords are activated, they will possess the same attacking power as him.

Lu Yu looked at these long swords in surprise.

Now these long swords are closing together, eventually forming a blue long sword no more than three chi in length.

Lu Yu obtained control of the Starlight Sword by following the methods outlined in the acquired documents.

In the moment the sword fell into his hand, Lu Yu finally saw the material from which the sword was made.

At the same time, Lu Yu lowered his hand, and the long sword he wielded was terrifyingly heavy.

Snap!

Lu Yu’s arm was torn open by the muscle from the long sword’s weight.

Lu Yu exerted force with both hands simultaneously; the strength of one and a half million units could barely lift the sword.

“This is a weapon that rivals the Starlight Armor!” Lu Yu’s scalp tingled with awe.

I have obtained another powerful artifact.

Lu Yu had no choice but to refrain from using his Demon King Transformation, barely managing to lift the Starlight Sword above his head.

Once swung, it becomes just as difficult to handle as the Starlight Heavy Armor.

Lu Yu held the sword in his hand, examining it carefully, and felt the energy of starlight grass within it.

This must be made from starlight grass.

And it’s the top-grade Starlight Grass.

The more Lu Yu felt, the more astonished he became.

This sword is truly extraordinary.

Lu Yu held a sword in his hand, yet he felt as if he were grasping not just a single blade, but an entire sea of swords.

He possessed the art of forging soldiers, and within the sea of swords, he sensed that each blade contained the essence of starlight grass.

“This—” Lu Yu was genuinely surprised.

This is not merely the forging of the Starlight Sword, but rather the Starlight Sword has gained the ability to split into a sea of star swords.

A cultivator decomposed and refined the Starlight Grass into a billion swords, then re-forged and melted down these billion swords to create a single Star Artifact.

Because a single star artifact can only be crafted using one primary material.

Therefore, the alchemist divided the top-grade Starlight Grass into one billion portions and infused each portion into one billion swords.

Then, when refining the star artifact, it was equivalent to recombining the Starlight Grass once more.

It was the Star Ocean first, then came the Starlight Sword!

The person who forged this star artifact is too terrifying.

A single Starlight Grass is not that big, yet he was actually able to divide its energy into one billion portions.

Someone actually had the perseverance to divide the energy of a Starlight Grass into a billion portions; a person with such patience must be incredibly formidable.

Moreover, this person’s patience could be more accurately described as terrifying.

Because he needed to forge a star artifact, he first had to create a billion swords.

How much wealth must this person possess to have forged a billion identical long swords? Perhaps this alone could consume his entire lifetime.

Lu Yu admired this person.

He himself also possessed the art of forging weapons, and with his abilities, he could craft a longsword of the same quality.

At most, a hundred swords a day.

That’s only 3,600 swords in one year, and 36,000 swords in ten years.

So how did this person manage to create a billion identical long swords?

Now, this sword does not feel heavy in his hands.

But Lu Yu knew that this sword was actually composed of one billion smaller swords. Once swung, its sheer weight could collapse an entire sky.

This also allowed Lu Yu to see an alternative path.

As long as you persist in following one path, you can still become invincible.

If a king were to wield this star artifact, he could easily repel a mass of black mist without any problem.

No, even two blobs of black mist are nothing to worry about.

Lu Yu put the Starlight Sword into his storage space. Such a weapon couldn’t be used right now, but it was undoubtedly a powerful and deadly tool.

The Starlight Sword’s power is now comparable to that of the Divine Edge.

At this time, the sky had already begun to darken.

Lu Yu opened the mission system, ready to check what tasks he could receive before the battle began.

“Damn it, each one is harder than the last. They actually expect me to destroy an entire cluster of deadly mist alone? Is that even possible?”

Lu Yu couldn’t help but curse.

In the short term, it will be difficult for him to accomplish this task.

The stars in the sky had already begun to twinkle.

Lu Yu leaped up and headed toward the second realm. In the sky, stars shimmered, and beams of light even pierced through the dark mist, falling upon Lu Yu’s body.

Boom. Boom.

This time, the power of the Star-Calling Technique surged to five million zuns in an instant.

“He has become even stronger.”

Everyone was greatly surprised.

With the strength of five million zuns, he is the unrivaled second only to the King himself.

The power of the Dragon of Darkness and the Flame Giant surged again, and the Sea of Slaughter Sword also appeared within his body.

Boom!

A dragon formed from a sword that had slaughtered a billion beings carved an extremely long passage through the black mist.

Hum.

Lu Yu leaped into the air, and his Sky-Splitting Wings unfolded directly. The ten-thousand-zhang-wide Sky-Splitting Wings released a hundred thousand piercing beams that tore through the black mist, causing it to shriek in agony.

No matter how strong the black mist is, it’s only at the level of a King Ancestor.

Each beam of light is equivalent to a strike of five million尊 (zūn) of power, capable of piercing through even thousands of King Zūn.

“Okay.”

Tian Wang and the others laughed heartily and had already activated their star artifacts, launching attacks into the black mist.

As soon as the black mist retreated, they would rush out of the domain.

However, this time the amount of black mist was five times greater than before. When struck, it instead attacked even more fiercely. Each impact seemed as if it would lift the entire city into the air.

Boom, boom.

Lu Yu suddenly concentrated the Sword Dragon, Demon Nest, Flame Giant, Top-tier and High-tier Guardians in an instant, launching a coordinated attack in one direction with the Void Slash.

At that moment, the power was compressed into a single point, and the black mist within that area was instantly obliterated.

Each point of power is equivalent to five million units, which is an utterly overwhelming force.

At the very least, tens of millions of Wangzun-level beasts were knocked down within the black mist.

They will not die and can regenerate.

In the instantaneous clash of power, Lu Yu actually gained the upper hand.

A Stegosaurus led the way, while the Black Dragon and the fire giant carved a path through the dark mist, revealing to the city’s people a gigantic serpent at the heart of the fog, nearly a hundred zhang in length.

The giant python’s eyes were blood-red, and its scales shimmered like steel armor even in the darkness.

A soldier in the city exclaimed in astonishment, “Incredible! They actually struck the core of the black mist with a single blow.”

Tian Wang and the others were also greatly surprised.

This black mist is not only powerful; its offensive strength is sufficient to compensate for its weak defense.

But this time, Lu Yu was too ruthless.

One attack pierced through the black mist. His attacking power was actually more ferocious than the black mist itself!

In an instant, everyone felt a certain sensation.

If Lu Yu were truly given the power of a king, and then placed together with the Mist of Death, who would ultimately prevail?
