Chapter 833: Ruins and Meteorites!

Kun has no authority over the interpretation of the Star Artifacts.

This clan originally possessed the extraordinary ability to forge armor out of thin air, which was already quite remarkable.

Moreover, as some people learned, the King of the One-Eyed Clan had once forged a Star-Level armor, marking him as a senior expert in the art of weapon forging.

Now dedicated to refining star artifacts in Fanggang, he has absolute authority when it comes to the refinement of star artifacts.

Kun now says that the star power Lu Yu has mobilized is terrifying, so it must indeed be terrifying.

“How much star power can he mobilize?”

“How scary is it?”

Luo Haotian and others couldn’t help but ask.

They don’t want to know a concept; they want to know the exact numbers.

Lu Yu transforming himself into a star artifact was already quite terrifying.

Now Kun actually told them that Lu Yu could harness an even greater amount of star power!

What would the situation be like then?

Kun said, “A star artifact functions as a massive container, ultimately transforming various materials into a grand vessel capable of holding and radiating the brilliance of stars. As it is refined, vast amounts of stellar essence become integrated into the star artifact, essentially solidifying within it. When the artifact is activated, this stellar essence is released as energy to attack enemies. Therefore, the more a star artifact is used, the more its stellar essence diminishes, until it is eventually exhausted and the artifact is rendered useless. However, Lu Yu is different—he possesses an enormous amount of stellar essence within his body, making it extremely difficult for him to ever deplete it completely. Moreover, in the crafting of ordinary star artifacts, being able to channel even one or two beams of starlight is considered exceptional. Yet Lu Yu directly harnessed fifty-one beams of starlight. All of this starlight has now settled into his flesh, blood, and bones. Therefore, the amount of stellar power Lu Yu can draw upon is vastly different from others. The stellar energy stored within his body is far more profound than that contained in a mere star artifact.”

Kun explained, helping many people gain an understanding of the star artifacts.

In the past, I had only known that the use of star artifacts could cause damage, but I never imagined there was such a reason behind it.

Yuki rarely spoke, but now she asked, “What’s the difference between Lu Yu’s body and a normal stellaron?”

His question was actually one that many others also wanted to know.

Kun said, “From the beginning to the end of its creation, an ordinary Star Artifact could never drain the light from an entire star until it dims completely. Yet Lu Yu managed to suck dry the light of fifty-one stars all at once—that’s the difference!”

Hiss!

Many people inhaled sharply.

In other words, the amount of Star Essence within Lu Yu’s body exceeds the normal capacity of a star artifact by fifty-one times.

No!

This is only a rough estimate.

Since no one had ever crafted a star artifact that consumed an entire star, no one could determine exactly how much star energy this particular star originally contained.

As Kun began to say, even if Lu Yu fully activated his star artifact, he could at most consume one-fifth of the Golden-Haired Man’s stored star essence after battling for an entire year.

If even billions of consumptions amount to merely one-fifth, just how much stellar essence does a single star truly contain?

This number is difficult to calculate.

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Kun continued, “Lu Yu’s current situation is very special and different from that of an ordinary star artifact. A star artifact is not a human body; as long as Lu Yu cultivates appropriately, he can now control the power of the star artifact he has summoned entirely by himself.”

The Rebirth King was moved and said, “Does that mean he can now channel the energy from the star artifact to fully activate it, whenever he wishes?”

“That’s right.”

Kun smiled and nodded slightly, as if to tacitly agree with that statement.

The surroundings fell silent, with only the sound of breathing audible.

Lu Yu can now possess the power of the War King, which is great news for Fanggang.

For them, admiration can sometimes turn into jealousy.

Lu Yu finally spoke at this moment, saying, “Today, by sharing this method with you all, I want to convey that if you truly wish to forge your own bodies into star artifacts, the materials required for the star artifacts will be provided by me. I’ve also discussed this with Kun. If the process fails, there may be no chance of revival.”

Kun nodded from the side and said, “This is the process of forging a star artifact. Although I’ve already mastered the technique, individual differences exist, so I can’t guarantee a 100% success rate. The worst-case scenario if it fails is that you might truly end up transformed into a star artifact yourselves. At best, you’ll simply be blown to pieces, leaving no trace of your bodies behind.”

Someone frowned and said, “That doesn’t seem right. The best outcome should be refining a star artifact, how could it be the worst result?”

Lu Yu shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “No, that would be the worst outcome. Because once your body becomes a star artifact, your soul might become trapped or drift endlessly in oblivion. That wouldn’t really be considered death, and you wouldn’t even be recorded in the war mode. Therefore, I wouldn’t be able to bring you back to life. The better scenario is that your body is completely destroyed, meaning you’re truly dead, and then I could revive you once again.”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a shiver down their spine.

As expected, refining into a star artifact turned out to be the worst possible outcome.

Lu Yu was not stingy at all; what he shared with everyone now could be considered one of the most powerful forces in this world.

The people here include thirty-five uncrowned kings, such as Shi Hu and the hundreds who initially joined Fanggang, as well as Xue Ji and King Regeneration, two allies of Fanggang.

Lu Yu is willing to help everyone grow stronger, even transforming their physical bodies into star artifacts, specifically royal blood star artifacts.

Would anyone else be willing to share such power, such ability?

You must understand that once betrayal occurs, it would cause significant harm and pose a serious threat to both Lu Yu and Fanggang.

Moreover, figures like Reborn King Zun and Luo Haotian, although resurrected by Lu Yu, …

However, Lu Yu had long since used the method obtained from the Indian guardian to completely sever their connection with the guardians.

The people in front of Lu Yu were all skilled experts who possessed freedom and were not controlled by the guardians.

Lu Yu did this out of concern that, should he die one day, Fanggang might collapse.

Therefore, he granted these people freedom, hoping that one day his actions would prove to be justified.

Lu Yu and others felt their hearts pounding, barely able to resist such temptation.

They were deeply moved by Lu Yu’s complete lack of protective trust in them.

Indeed, some people were moved and desired to refine themselves into a stellar artifact.

However, the conditions mentioned by Lu Yu, along with Kun’s reminders and warnings, made them all hesitate.

“Never mind, I don’t dare.”

“I’ve already died once, and I have no intention of dying a second time.”

“You, Lu Yu, are enough for me. I’m afraid of pain.”

Everyone shook their heads, and both the Reincarnation King and Xue Ji gave up.

They didn’t have the courage to take a gamble like Lu Yu did.

Moreover, the pain of flames burning through the body is not something an ordinary person could endure.

Yuki asked, “Lu Yu, what are you going to do next?”

“Well, now that I’m done with enhancing my strength, the next thing is to have Kun help me forge a star artifact,” Lu Yu said with a smile. “I’ve already found my goal; all I’m lacking now is time.”

Lu Yu looked up at the sky. Once the night descended, that star became especially clear.

Lu Yu had already explained to Kun the method of refining a complete set of star artifacts, leaving the rest to Kun to handle.

There wasn’t any particularly important intelligence, so everyone was now cultivating and waiting for the meteor’s arrival.

The crowd dispersed.

Liu Xing approached Lu Yu at this point.

He had arrived earlier but had not interrupted the conversation among the group.

The crowd dispersed, and only then did Liu Xing come over.

“Mr. Lu, someone wants to exchange information with you for the King’s Blood Star Artifact, and preferably also the method of refining a human body into a Star Artifact.”

“What intelligence?” Lu Yu asked in surprise. “At this stage, there doesn’t seem to be much usable intelligence left.”

“It’s about the recently appeared ruins and information regarding the meteorites in the sky.”

“Alright, let’s hear it then,” Lu Yu said, showing some interest.

Liu Xing said, “The Celestial Deities organization, together with King Lie and others, entered a ruin, confirming that it had once been a royal city.”

“Huh?” Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, frowning as he asked, “You’re continuing?”

“The ruins that the Skybreaker King and the Star Soul King have been entering and exiting recently are the remains of the Skybreaker King’s city. The city has already been destroyed, but it seems that the Skybreaker King had sealed his great army within the city palace at that time. His repeated entries and exits were likely for the purpose of locating the army he had sealed.”

Lu Yu said, “That doesn’t seem right. If that were indeed the City of the Sky-splitting King, he wouldn’t be unable to locate the army he himself sealed away.”

Liu Xing said, “According to the limited information Yang Yang has obtained, it seems that what’s inside is not simply an army that has been sealed away.”

“With just this vague intelligence, do you really think you can exchange for a King’s Blood Star Artifact?” Lu Yu frowned.

Liu Xing said, “Bai Yang mentioned that they seemed to have seen a King-level life form moving around the periphery. And—”

Liu Xing said seriously, “They saw a huge altar, on which there was a golden light undulating.”

“Is it divine power?” Lu Yu asked.

Liu Xing said, “After that, they never had another chance to move inward. Whether it was divine power fluctuations or some other kind of energy, no one knows. But Bai Yang said that it definitely had something to do with gods.”

“That kind of news sounds plausible enough. What about the news regarding the meteorite?”

“That meteorite is about the size of the Moon, and there are cities on it. Through special means, they also observed giant beasts and humans walking in those cities,” said Liu Xing.

“City?” Lu Yu’s heart pounded violently, and he had a very bad premonition.

Although Lu Yu had a premonition about something, he didn’t consider it particularly significant. He replied solemnly, “However, this still isn’t enough to exchange for a King’s Blood Star Artifact.”

Liu Xing said, “This is merely the information they’ve observed. Through further observation, they’ve also uncovered some secrets. This secret might be unique. Bai Yang wants to use this secret to exchange for a royal blood star artifact.”

Liu Xing paused for a moment and continued, “They discovered that the people of one city had buried a stone coffin deep into the earth at the city’s center. After observation, they determined that it might be the remains of some powerful life form. Because after that object was buried within the city, the city came under attack from surrounding cities.”

Lu Yu stroked his chin and said, “Uncertain information? Although I don’t know what they’ve buried, I think it’s acceptable. Go tell Bai Yang that his intelligence is worth one royal blood star artifact, though such an artifact can only contain ten drops of royal blood. If they intend to forge a human body into a star artifact, you’ve already heard what we’ve said earlier—make the stakes clear to them. Such a star artifact could never help them infuse royal blood.”

“I understand,” Liu Xing said as he took out six King’s Blood crystals from his robe and handed them to Lu Yu. “These were sent by the British and American militaries. They want twelve Star Artifacts, each infused with ten drops of royal blood…”

“No problem,” Lu Yu said as he approached the Wang Xue crystal, subtly placing it into his storage space. “You should still have some materials left. Let Kun handle the manufacturing. They can provide the Wang Xue themselves.”

Liu Xing talked to Lu Yu about the recent situation regarding the business in Fanggang before finally taking his leave.

Lu Yu already had eleven King Crystals in his hand.

According to Yukki’s words, this amount is enough to evolve a skill or a star artifact ten times over.
