Lu Yu, the Reborn King, and the Undead King had departed.
Soon after the three of them left, news of a battle that had taken place in this city began to spread.
Everyone who heard the news was stunned.
“It must be fake!”
The first reaction of everyone.
Cities erupted in uproar; no one could believe it.
Lu Yu was trapped by dozens of kings for several days, yet he didn’t die. Is that possible?
Lu Yu had not yet become a king himself. Facing a single king, he barely had the strength to fight back. How could he possibly survive an attack from dozens of kings?
A person said solemnly, “This news is absolutely true because I was nearby at that time and saw it with my own eyes. When a layer of barrier shattered, there was the presence of Kings inside, at least thirty-five of them, and that’s a conservative estimate. Besides these Kings, there was also Lu Yu.”
Innumerable people displayed astonished expressions, finding it utterly impossible.
Even the Arabian Nights doesn’t have such an outrageous story.
Someone’s face turned dark green with anger and he said, “Friend, don’t joke around. Wang Ke is the most powerful warrior in this world. If even he can’t kill Lu Yu, who hasn’t even become a king yet, then what’s the point of becoming a king at all?”
Another person snorted coldly and said, “If you don’t believe this, there’s another thing I can tell you that you’ll probably find even harder to believe.”
“What else is there?”
Everyone’s eyes widened in amazement.
Could there be anything more terrifying than Lu Yu’s power to challenge the king?
“Lu Yu split a King’s body in half with a star weapon, from the crown of the head down. And he also poisoned two other Kings to death. Can you believe that?”
“Huh?”
This is even harder for anyone to believe.
Lu Yu’s strength shouldn’t even be able to activate a Star Artifact; how could he possibly split the capital city in two with just one sword strike?
This is really even harder to believe.
But the information coming from England is just like this.
One person tells it, but no one believes—
The story was passed on between two people, yet no one believed it still.
However, when dozens, even hundreds of people all say exactly the same thing, no one can help but believe it.
What kind of star artifact could cleave a king in two?
What kind of power does Lu Yu truly possess? Under the combined attacks of dozens of Kings, he actually survived for several days. Is he even human anymore?
Even if darkness descends, is that really possible?
Lu Yu, is this really the current Lu Yu?
How could he have grown so powerful that he could even kill a king?
…
Fanggang –
The Reborn King, the Undying King, and Lu Yu have returned.
They had just returned when they found that the battle involving Lu Yu had already become a topic of conversation in Fanggang.
Many people looked at Lu Yu’s expression, their faces filled with disbelief.
“The speed of information spreading is even faster than our transmission. This world is really a bit terrifying,” Regen King frowned.
The King of Immortality turned his head toward Lu Yu and asked, “Lu Yu, did you really split a king in two using a Star Artifact?”
“Let’s talk about it when we get back to the core area,” Lu Yu replied with a smile.
As Lu Yu and others entered the First Field, cheers immediately erupted there.
In the core area of Fanggang, Luo Haotian and others have already received messages transmitted by the Illusion Demon.
Even Liu Xing came back in time.
Since Lu Yu was attacked by dozens of kings, this was no small matter.
At Fanggang, everyone sprang into action. All able-bodied individuals gathered here, each warrior brimming with killing intent, waiting solely for a single command.
Apart from Luohan Tian and others, there are now more than sixty king-level puppets among the most powerful combat forces.
Humanoid King-class puppets and Beast King-class puppets alike exuded waves of killing intent, reflecting their controllers’ fury.
As soon as they receive further news, they will head straight to the UK.
Especially people like Luo Haotian, who were resurrected by Lu Yu.
They were even more certain that once Lu Yu died, they would have to choose a new leader.
They can accept Lu Yu, but that doesn’t mean they can accept someone else as their leader.
The moment they received the information from Huanmo, they were almost ready to rush over and kill them directly.
If more than sixty kings were to act together, the problem would probably not be so simple.
However, they received another order to hold their positions.
After the Reincarnation King and the Immortal King arrived, Lu Yu was no longer in danger.
Now, when everyone saw Lu Yu return unscathed, they cheered and stared with wide eyes.
Surrounded and attacked by more than forty kings, he actually returned unscathed?
Lyle and Horrid never stood a chance of surviving.
On the way back to Fanggang, he was mercilessly struck down by the Undead King with flames and royal majesty, without the slightest hint of mercy.
The blood-colored King Crystals formed after the two men’s deaths caused the Undead King and the Regeneration King to pause in astonishment.
“After a person dies following the use of the King’s Crystal, the crystal reforms itself?” Reborn King found it unbelievable. Then, in an instant, he suddenly sensed danger and coldly remarked, “This is not a good sign. If the King’s Crystal can reform, those who became kings through its power might also be in peril.”
Lu Yu’s expression turned serious as he said, “Yes. Confronted with a mass of deadly mist, they would be unable to obtain the King’s Crystal. However, in this era, if they faced a king, there might actually be a chance to kill him. Especially against the Voice of the Gods—given enough false kings, they truly might succeed.”
The Rebirth King asked curiously, “Lu Yu, exactly what star artifact did you use to slay the King?”
Everyone has now returned to the core area.
King Reborn had already been unable to resist his curiosity and asked.
How Lu Yu survived with his skills was none of the Reincarnation Kings’ concern; perhaps those were the secrets Lu Yu relied on to save his own life.
However, he had never heard of a star artifact capable of beheading a king in a single strike!
“A sword!”
Lu Yu took out the Starlight Sword.
The sword’s surface sparkled with starlight, initially appearing unremarkable.
However, when the Reincarnated King took it, both his arms sank heavily, and the force from the sword nearly caused him to stumble and fall.
“This heavy?”
The Rebirth King was horrified, having never seen a star artifact so heavy before.
Kun exclaimed in surprise, “Did I see that right? They’re only using top-grade Starlight Grass inside—there’s no way that’s enough to kill a king!”
He took over the Starlight Sword.
Just as he took it in his hands, Kun was greatly surprised.
This sword is terrifyingly heavy.
Moreover—
“Amazing!” Kun exclaimed in admiration. “Someone actually managed to create a star-forging artifact like this. It’s terrifying.”
He was also a person who possessed the art of forging weapons. As soon as he grasped the sword, he immediately sensed something different about it.
The sword passed from hand to hand among the Undead King, Yukihime, and others. Whoever held the sword could sense its unusual nature.
It is indeed possible to slay Wang with this sword.
Lu Yu’s power has not yet reached the level required to fully activate the Starlight Sword.
Everyone found it even harder to imagine the power of this sword if it were fully activated.
Kun said solemnly, “Lu Yu, as long as your strength increases a bit more, once you can easily wield this sword, even if you aren’t a king yourself, you’ll have the power to slay one.”
Lu Yu put away his sword and said seriously, “This time being trapped inside the barrier, although I nearly got killed, there was also some gain. I think I now roughly know the limit of the King’s power.”
“What do you mean?”
Xue Ji and the others’ eyes sparkled with surprise.
How did Lu Yu measure the king’s ultimate strength?
Lu Yu roughly described the process of how he used a Venomous Explosion Eagle to annihilate a king.
Using the Toxic Bomb Eagle’s ability to ignore defense, they bombarded relentlessly and eventually wore down a king.
“One trillion statues!” The kings were astonished.
Luo Haotian was equally astonished.
It’s extremely difficult for an uncrowned king to keep improving and reach this level.
Lu Yu currently has the strength of only 2.6 million zuns.
People like Luo Haotian, their current strength is at most around one and a half million.
One hundred billion versus one hundred times the gap; they still have to work hard for countless years to achieve that.
And this world would not give them a chance.
The giant meteor in the sky is approaching; it’s probably the second wave of doomsday tide, or perhaps the very harbinger of destruction.
The meteorite will eventually approach Earth, and it will definitely not take more than half a year.
There’s not enough time left.
However, Luo Haotian and others were equally excited and thrilled.
The limit of the King is one thousand billion titles, which represents that the King’s power has a peak.
The king cannot surpass his peak.
As for the uncrowned kings, they have no peak, only constant breakthroughs.
Give them time, and they can surpass the king.
They are the most powerful people in this world.
The Reborn King and others fell silent.
It has always been said that the King Without a Crown has the ability to fight against the King, but that is wrong.
Now the uncrowned king can finally claim his rightful title.
The truly strongest power has always existed, but people simply haven’t noticed it.
The king without a crown is the truly invincible one.
Yuki said, “You were attacked by dozens of kings and still managed to obtain such important information—you’re very lucky.”
“This time, I feel lucky to have made it back alive,” Lu Yu said with a bitter smile. “Inside, teleportation was restricted, so I couldn’t use my Starlight Sword or escape. If it weren’t for the fact that many of them lacked combat experience, giving me an opening, I wouldn’t have had the slightest chance of returning alive. If they had been just a bit more united, I would have had no opportunity at all.”
Thinking back to it now, Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingling repeatedly.
This plan of his was flawless, seamless, and perfect to the utmost degree.
The only drawback was that the kings wanted to capture him alive, rather than kill him.
Lu Yu managed to barely hold on because of this one thing.
If these dozens of kings had targeted him from the start and attacked with full force, he might have been captured without even having a chance to resist.
Luo Haotian and others also felt fortunate and kept nodding in agreement.
The Rebirth King and others felt that Lu Yu’s success wasn’t just luck; they believed he must still be hiding some other ability.
As kings themselves, they naturally understood the terrifying power of a king.
If it were a thousand billion experts, even blocking just one would be the best Lu Yu could do in his current state. Yet he managed to resist being overwhelmed even under attacks from dozens of opponents, which was extremely unusual.
Xue Ji stared at Lu Yu and said, “You’ve killed a king, right? You should become a king by using the King’s Crystal.”
Lu Yu looked at Xue Ji in surprise and said, “Yes.”
“So, after the opponent’s death, they should drop a Blood King Crystal, right?” Xue Ji continued to ask.
When Yukki asked that, Lu Yu felt a tremor in his heart.
The Reborn King was equally astonished.
Shiromi knew that the King’s Crystal was already mysterious.
Now she actually knows what these people will drop after they die?
Suki doesn’t seem to have simply survived the Darkening.
Lu Yu thought for a moment, then took out a blood-red crystal from his storage space and said, “Yes, the king I killed in the space did drop this blood crystal. Do you know its use?”
Xue Ji nodded and said, “I’ll tell only you. If you don’t mind, let’s find a secluded place to talk.”
