In the very center of Xueguang City stands a grand hall, which serves as the palace of King Yama.
However, beneath the throne in the palace, there was a secret passage.
This passage leads directly underground.
If someone from the surface could reach the underground world, they would surely be amazed by everything there.
A kilometer beneath the surface lies a hollow area nearly five hundred meters high, where a giant city stands.
Each of these cities is no smaller than Xueguang City, and some are even larger.
The majestic city wall makes everyone feel small.
Above every city hung a white gemstone several meters in diameter, radiating brilliant white light that illuminated every corner of the city.
Each of the blood-eyed warriors rides a ground dragon.
There were four gates in total, one on each side of the city. The gates stood wide open, and the soldiers entered and exited in an orderly manner.
Outside the city, there were countless wild beasts.
Thousands of beasts roamed outside the city, occasionally staring at the city gates.
Once Bloodshot Eyes stepped outside the city, he was immediately attacked by hundreds of wild beasts.
These beasts include tigers, wolves, and black bears. Of course, among them there are also some unusual creatures such as two-headed wolves and magic wolves.
No matter which kind of beast it is, its strength is at least sixty thousand zuns, some reaching even one hundred thousand zuns, and there are even those at the King Zun level.
If you leave the city, you can feel the King’s presence more strongly near areas like stone forests or lava seas far from the city, or even encounter powerful beasts that embody the King’s might.
After you feel it carefully, you will be greatly surprised.
Because what you can sense is not the aura of a single king, but rather the auras of several kings.
Even the Blood Eye at the distant edge of the city could sense King Wei’s might.
The Blood Eyes, who live underground, must endure the King’s aura and fight once they leave the city.
Under such pressure, they made progress more quickly.
There is no day or night underground; the Blood Eyes do nothing but rest and fight.
Among the many cities, there has never been a break in the lines of people coming and going.
As soon as the teams stepped out of the city, they were immediately attacked by packs of beasts.
The smaller herds consist of tens of thousands of beasts, while the larger herds contain more than fifty thousand animals.
These teams mostly consisted of several elderly people guarding hundreds of young people or teenagers.
There was also a king taking care of thousands of young warriors with bloodshot eyes.
“Roar!”
One beast after another launched fierce attacks.
The young Blood Eye warriors, already covered in wounds, continued to fight desperately with clenched teeth.
At this moment, a teenage boy with bloodshot eyes collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
He had just sat down when an old man kicked him up, coldly saying, “Get up! Someone like you, a good-for-nothing, would die if you ever set foot on the battlefield.”
“Uncle Liu, I can’t do it anymore, I really can’t.” The boy gritted his teeth and stood up, but his legs were already trembling so badly that he couldn’t muster any strength.
The old man’s voice rang out sternly: “The enemy won’t give you a chance to rest. If you can’t even handle these few beasts right now, you have no qualification to set foot on the battlefield.”
Another old man waved his leather whip in hand and with a “crack,” he lashed it across the youth’s back, coldly snarling, “Fight faster, or I’ll throw you into the den with another beast. You don’t deserve to live.”
The boy’s back was whipped until a bloody wound appeared, the muscles beneath the lash marks were crushed, exposing the pale white bones.
The young boy clenched his teeth, stood up, and desperately lunged forward, hurling himself like a beast toward the creature.
But the teenager’s physical strength had truly been pushed to its limit.
He was pinned down by the beast in no time.
“Roar!”
Instantly, countless wild beasts lunged forward together, tearing at the young man’s flesh with large bites.
“Help! Help me!” the boy cried out in agony, his voice sending tremors through his nearby companions, each of them gritting their teeth desperately to hold on.
The young boy was soon devoured, his flesh reduced by half, with one arm and both legs torn off.
At this moment, an old man finally intervened, displaying the power of a King and unleashing a devastating strike against the beasts that had surrounded the young boy, thereby rescuing him.
The youth was already at death’s door, with most of his body reduced to skeletal remains, and his bones covered in tooth marks.
If it weren’t for his bones protecting his internal organs, his insides would have been completely hollowed out by now.
The boy’s face was also half-decayed, with his eyeballs rolling in their sockets.
An old man grabbed a beast, tore its head off with one hand, and splattered the beast’s blood onto the young boy. He coldly said, “Remember this—it’s called death. If we don’t save you next time, you’ll have no choice but to die. And when you encounter enemies, if you don’t fight with all your strength, defeat means death. Therefore, you must become stronger—much stronger.”
The beast’s blood merged into the young man’s body. The nearly dead youth’s entire body began sprouting granulation tissue, rapidly regenerating flesh, and his severed limbs were also growing back.
The first generation of Blood Eyes did not possess this ability.
However, starting from the second generation’s blood eyes, they had already begun to evolve.
Whether it’s devouring blood and flesh or being drenched in blood, all of these can rapidly heal injuries.
Especially the powerful flesh, which serves as nourishment and an evolutionary elixir for them.
After recovering, the young man’s face remained pale. However, his expression turned extremely cold and grim as he silently lunged at the beast to attack.
This battle lasted for several days and nights, until the elder finally ordered a retreat. Only then did the thousands of young, bloodshot-eyed warriors heave a sigh of relief and withdraw into the city under the elder’s cover.
“Rest for three hours, then continue fighting,” said an old man.
The young people immediately slumped to the ground and quickly took out their food.
To them, raw meat is their grain, and the blood of beasts is their water.
The elders watched as these young boys were shedding the baby fat from their faces, and they nodded approvingly, feeling very pleased.
Exploit, relentless exploitation, pushing the young blood warriors to transcend their limits continuously.
This is the reason why the vampire clan has countless powerful beings.
They have only a few hours of rest each day, spending the remaining time in combat.
Some of the young boys, while resting, asked, “Uncle Liu, you mentioned that over a thousand city lords from the Blood Eye Clan have already returned to the surface. Does that mean the surface world now belongs to us?”
When the other teenagers heard about this, they immediately became energized.
A girl said proudly, “It’s definitely going to be our domain. Those people on the surface, each one so conceited, how could they possibly stand up to our city lord?”
A teenager tore off a piece of meat, eating it as he sneered, “Then we’ll soon be able to return to the surface too. I heard from my father that Grandpa suffered much discrimination when he was on the surface. Not a single person there was good. When I return to the surface, I’ll devour every one of them, unless they’re from the Blood Eye clan.”
“Since they don’t acknowledge us anyway, we, the Xueyan, are one race, and they are another. Destroying them won’t affect us at all.”
A group of boys and girls began discussing the topic of extinction without the slightest hesitation, speaking and laughing as they went along.
A young girl said, “Uncle Liu, since you’re old, you must know about the powerful individuals who existed in the past, right? Could you tell us something about them? If they were still alive, we could go find them and use them as opponents. Wouldn’t that make us stronger more quickly?”
“Yeah, if we eat their flesh and blood, we’ll become stronger.”
Some of the teenagers immediately started shouting.
Several elderly people’s faces turned gloomy.
The crowd of young people with bloodshot eyes all fell silent, some looking fearfully toward the elderly men.
“Remember this, when you face the enemy, you must give your all in battle,” a cold voice from an old man warned. “Underestimate them, and you’ll be the ones dying. Do you think those people on the ground who have survived since the apocalypse are weak? With your mere thousands of cultivation strength, not even reaching ten thousand, do you really dare to provoke them?”
Remember, battle means fighting for life and death — it’s either you survive or he does. Don’t underestimate the强者 on the ground. Is there really a weak one among those who survived the Darkening? To say nothing of other cities, I live in Fanggang, and back then there was a terrifying figure there. His power in Fanggang was unmatched — he occupied mines and possessed nine mutated star souls, all of them deadly. If that man had become a King, aside from the city lord, you wouldn’t even leave behind a trace when facing him.
Another elderly man said thus.
A young girl immediately raised her hand and said, “I’ve heard from my great-grandfather that this person is named Lu Yu. I’ve heard that he was already very powerful before the apocalypse.”
“I’ve also heard about Lu Yu. Back then, he dared to take a person’s head alone among a thousand soldiers.”
“Hmph, no matter how powerful they are, they’re still just one person. Once we become kings in the future, we can kill them too.”
The boys and girls were eating and chatting, completely disregarding the people on the ground as if they were nothing.
At this moment, a bloodshot-eyed man ran over and whispered something into an old man’s ear.
The old man’s expression changed slightly, and then he waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
The bloodshot-eyed man who had run over retreated.
“Brother Liu, what’s going on?” the other elders asked immediately.
Liu Que said, “Just received news that there are still one hundred and thirty-five cities on the surface that have passed through the Darkening. The number of Kings humanity possesses does not exceed a thousand.”
At this moment, the young blood-eyed warriors heard the news and immediately burst into cheers.
“Not even a thousand kings could prevent three Blood Eye Cities from joining forces and wiping out humanity from the face of the earth.”
“We can go back to the surface now.”
Liu Que coldly snorted and said, “Are you happy? You haven’t even returned to the surface—you understand nothing. A city that couldn’t be destroyed even when darkness fell isn’t something you can just wipe out at will. Just now, I mentioned Lu Yu to you all; remember his name. Don’t provoke this person unless you become a King yourselves. Currently, Fanggang still exists, a city possessing hundreds of Kings, and Lu Yu himself is extremely powerful. Even Lord Yama dared not claim he could defeat him. As for you all, in three days’ time, fifty of you will be selected and sent to the surface. Start cultivating hard—now!”
Everything happening beneath this city is similarly occurring in other cities as well.
Many young Blood Eye warriors were being told by the elders about the surface world, preparing to head up to the ground.
…
Fanggang—
After the commotion over the ring, the Fanggang area has now returned to tranquility.
People outside the city left as Lu Yu departed.
Some Blood Eyes who wanted to enter the city, receiving no response from within, eventually left.
As for being in the city.
Facing the rare moment of tranquility, Lu Yu began to forge the Eagle King’s Wing.
…
The Eagle King’s wing originally belongs to the Eagle King himself, containing the essence of the Eagle King’s poison. If the Eagle King’s wing is refined into a winged star artifact, it can activate the world’s most potent poison. If one does not possess the conditions required to forge a star artifact, consuming the Eagle King’s wing through special means can also achieve the same effect, awakening the world’s deadliest poison.
…
Since obtaining the Eagle King’s Wing, Lu Yu had planned to refine it into a star artifact.
The King’s Blood still remains within the wings of the Eagle King. Therefore, it will require ninety-nine more drops of King’s Blood to forge the most powerful King’s Blood Star Artifact.
Using the Wing of the Eagle King as the primary star artifact material, Lu Yu and Kun discussed for a long time to determine the crafting method before they began working on it.
The Eagle King’s Wing is not an ordinary refinement; Lu Yu intends to merge it with the Sky-splitting Wing to recast a king-level skill.
