Chapter 865: Blood Sea City

Ultimate Evolution.

This ability can resurrect a truly Dragon King-level life.

Lu Yu indeed never expected that his poison would evolve to the ultimate level, granting him such an ability.

Whether the Dragon Knight state can ultimately succeed, and whether it is applicable to the poison dragon created by oneself, remains an unknown.

Vroom!

The heavens and earth trembled as Fanggang City shook violently, and the void roared with a deafening sound.

Lu Yu felt that the power causing the earth to tremble originated from above the sky.

He raised his head to look at the sky. Above the Earth, even in daylight, the star approaching the planet was already visible.

Now approaching dusk, the sunlight is partially blocked. If you observe carefully, you can even see that the distance of this star reaching Earth is close to that of the Moon.

However, this star is more than two hundred times larger than the moon. Its immense size, positioned at the same distance from Earth as the moon, creates the illusion that it is so close that one could almost reach out and touch it.

People can already see the cities on that star, with tiny human figures like ants densely covering the cities, mountains, rivers, and canyons, all clearly visible.

People are gazing at the cities on this distant star, while those on that star are also gazing back at the cities on Earth.

Two planets stood facing each other, as if frozen in stillness.

Lu Yu’s expression tightened as he stared at the stars in the sky and said, “What does this mean? Is it about to begin?”

In every city where stars could be seen, countless people came out.

People looked up at the sky, stunned by what they saw.

“What exactly is the Second Wave of the Apocalypse?”

“Could it be that you want our two planets to collide, leading to a bloody battle to the end?”

The sky gradually darkened, and the star in the heavens slowly shifted westward. They were slowly losing sight of the planet’s shadow, yet they felt a terrifying power akin to the arrival of the apocalypse.

The stars also revealed their terrifying vastness to the people on the other side of the Earth.

At this moment, someone rushed into Fanggang Road and exclaimed, “Something big just happened—someone was pulled by a powerful force and fell toward that star.”

The port city of Fang immediately erupted into chaos.

Not only Fanggang, but every city that received this news was in an uproar.

“Who, who was pulled over there?”

“Can you see what’s happening?”

“How many people have been drawn in?”

Everyone has questions, and they all want to know the answers.

But soon, people got the answer.

That person was sucked halfway into the air, broke free from Earth’s gravity, and fell onto a distant star. Upon impact, he was crushed into a bloody pulp and never revived again.

“It’s just that one person was sucked away.”

“He was just too unlucky to die like that.”

“This might be a hint from the divine; our battle will unfold on that very star.”

“I heard that someone once saw a colossal beast destroy an entire city with millions of people in one swipe using a telescope. How can we survive on that star?”

Discussions and rumors have sparked countless speculations, leaving many people feeling desperate.

People are discussing it everywhere.

This star is too large and too conspicuous.

People who don’t notice him are too obvious.

Lu Yu didn’t know if this was the second wave of the apocalypse tide, but he had no time to think about it.

Since this star has already arrived, he needs to accelerate his preparations.

Kun is resting.

Lu Yu walked out of the harbor.

Because he had heard that in Xueyan City, only the underground areas reached by Xueyan possessed resources that were not available on the surface.

Lu Yu wanted to go and take a look.

Humans and Xueyan are actually not very different.

Unless there is a special method to examine, it is very difficult to distinguish between humans and Xueyan.

In addition, quite a number of humans have traveled to the city of Blood Eye.

Some resources on the ground are needed by the Blood Eyes.

As for the resources underground, humans also have a need for them.

Instead of heading to the nearest Bloodlight City, Lu Yu made his way toward the location of Huaxia Upper City.

Where the cities had long been destroyed multiple times, they became ruins again in the tide of the apocalypse.

It is now occupied by the Blood Sea City, which has risen from beneath the ground.

Lu Yu received information that someone in this city had spread rumors about seeing a sea of blood underground, within which there seemed to be a living being possessing power at the king level.

Someone once found a blood-red stone at the edge of a sea of blood, and after identification, it was confirmed that the stone was formed from genuine, pure blood.

If the information in Lu Yu’s mind was correct, then the Sea of Blood was indeed a real sea of blood, formed from the blood of a creature called a Qi Xue Beast after its death.

The blood-crying beast is born from blood and, upon death, its body dissolves back into blood.

In the Sea of Blood, there is a certain probability that pure blood will condense into crystals. These crystals are formed by solidifying the blood from the Sea of Blood, transforming it into a gemstone-like substance even harder than stone.

This crystal is called Qixue Stone.

If the inheritor of the Blood-Soaked Star Soul obtains it, it would be equivalent to absorbing the blood of hundreds of millions of living beings, resulting in a tremendous leap in power.

If people like them could obtain it, they could also absorb the energy from the Blood-Tear Stone, which would be equally effective in enhancing their strength.

A powerful expert known as the Blood-Weeping King started absorbing energy from Blood-Weeping Stones right from the first level of his Star Soul. He never cultivated; instead, he spent his entire life searching for these Blood-Weeping Stones, absorbing their energy to evolve.

Exactly how much Blood-Weeping Stone he had absorbed remained unknown to everyone.

But in the end, he became the true king.

Moreover, he resides within the sea of blood formed by the Qi Xue Beast, where he is invincible.

No matter how many times you die, you can be reborn in the sea of blood.

The information Lu Yu received described the stone in a way that sounded very much like the Blood-Weeping Stone.

Therefore, Lu Yu decided to go and take a look.

However, entering the underground entrance requires some effort to get inside.

Lu Yu could see the tall walls of the Black Stone City from the outskirts of Blood City.

There was a bloodshot eye guarding the city wall, while in front of the city gate, a bustling crowd continuously flowed.

A large number of Bloodeye warriors rode in and out on their ground dragons.

They wore an air of arrogance, paying no heed to the humans passing by.

As for the Blood Eyes, they evolved from humans and are superior to them.

Although he faced discrimination back then, that was an old grudge held by the older generation.

However, they are evolving, and their power is increasing faster than that of humans. Moreover, their natural talents, potential, and physical abilities far surpass those of humans.

In their eyes, humans are merely stagnant lives that should be eliminated by the times.

Of course, they are proud, yet disciplined, and rarely come into conflict with humans.

Since Lu Yu’s return from the underground, there have still been many people who discriminate against him and have had conflicts with him in various situations.

However, once conflicts arise, the Blood Eye Clan’s ferocity makes people realize their true terror.

These are people who fight like beasts.

They will use every means at their disposal, including their teeth, employing any method necessary to achieve victory.

Once killed by Xueyan, there would be no corpse left at all.

Humans received some news: the second generation of Blood Eyes has begun. The Blood Eyes are evolving again, and by devouring the flesh of powerful beings, they can not only absorb their abilities but also obtain the energy within their flesh to further evolve.

In the descent of darkness, someone devoured the flesh and blood of a king and ascended directly to kingship.

When Lu Yu approached the city gate, he was blocked by several bloodshot guards.

Lu Yu had to present a token that emitted a blood-red glow when entering or exiting the city gates, and was not subject to any restrictions.

Lu Yu guessed that it must be the Blood Eye’s symbol of identity.

The Blood-eyed Guard glanced at Lu Yu a few times and coldly said, “For humans entering the city, each person must pay one hundred thousand star spirit stones.”

“Affordable.”

Lu Yu directly handed Xueyan ten storage pearls containing star spirits.

The Blood-eyed Guard glanced at him, nodded, and said, “You may enter. But remember, this isn’t a human city—you cause trouble here, and you won’t even leave behind a scrap of bone.”

“I just came in to look for something I need for my cultivation. I won’t cause any trouble.”

“Go inside.”

The Blood-eyed Guard allowed Lu Yu to pass.

Because every day, hundreds of thousands of people like Lu Yu enter the city, each claiming to be here in search of something to cultivate.

As for what their exact intentions were, the guards didn’t care at all.

Once inside the city, there will naturally be more powerful individuals keeping watch.

Once you get into trouble, you risk losing your life.

Not long ago, news came from Blood Moon City that a young man from an organization had luckily obtained the King’s Crystal during the dark hour and became a king.

Young people have become proud, believing themselves to be invincible.

In Blood Moon City, he set his sights on an item and attempted to buy it at a low price by force.

As a result, he was torn to pieces by several Wang-level warriors with bloodshot eyes, and his flesh was distributed among dozens of people.

These people consumed the blood and flesh of the young, and some immediately ascended from the power of ten thousand to possess a hundred-refined demonic body.

The people of Xueyan City couldn’t wait for humans to cause trouble here.

As Lu Yu passed through the city gate, he immediately heard the cries of vendors.

The houses along both sides of the city gate were lined with shops, where people were coming and going, creating a very lively scene.

Lu Yu casually walked into a store. The shop was spacious, with rows of shelves around the walls filled with weapons and materials.

This shop covers several hundred square meters, and even with dozens of people walking inside, it doesn’t feel crowded.

Two staff members were busy running around with great stress, constantly explaining things to everyone or haggling with them.

Now that Lu Yu had just walked in, the boss, who had been sitting on one side, stood up as well.

This was an elderly man who appeared to be around fifty years old. Smiling cheerfully, the old man approached and said, “My friend, what would you like?”

As the boss spoke, he glanced at Lu Yu, his expression subtly changing.

He couldn’t see through Lu Yu’s true strength.

Lu Yu was also scrutinizing the boss and couldn’t help but feel a start of surprise as well.

This old man was actually a king, and certainly not one who had become a king through the use of royal crystals.

The two laughed heartily and both turned their gazes away.

The old man said, “Rare, rare, for a powerful one to grace us with a visit. Friend, the items in my humble shop are probably not worthy of your attention.”

Many people around were surprised.

Most of them had bloodshot eyes, and they deeply understood the old man’s strength.

It’s rare for a king to call someone a “strong individual”—this young man looks about the same age as them, yet I can’t sense any powerful aura from him.

Moreover, the old man had already made it clear that nothing could catch this person’s eye.

Inside here, there’s even a King-tier mutated Star Spirit Pearl, along with several half-Star artifacts.

“Since there’s nothing, I won’t look anymore. I just came here out of curiosity on my first visit.” Lu Yu bowed to the old man and turned to leave.

The old man personally escorted Lu Yu out.

At this moment, a young man with bloodshot eyes stepped forward and bowed deeply to the elder, asking, “Master Zhao, who exactly is that person? How could they earn your acknowledgment as a true expert?”

A young girl said, “Yes, Old Master Zhao, he’s as strong as us, even though he’s the same age?”

The old man looked at the group of young people in the store and coldly remarked, “In this world, appearances can be deceiving. You can tell we old men have existed since the beginning of the apocalypse, but when it comes to people who look just like you, you can’t discern their age. Pay attention from now on if you encounter this person—he, like us, is someone who has survived since the start of the apocalypse!”
