While Lu Yu was troubled over the ten available spots, Ming Zun and others arrived.
Moreover, the purpose of each person coming here is for the qualification inscribed on the stone tablet.
In the shop, besides Lu Yu and Liu Xing, there were also some people from various cities and ports who had come to do business.
When these people entered, their hearts couldn’t help but race.
Lu Yu is somewhat weaker in terms of business acumen.
However, the guards around them were not weak at all; some were even at the King’s level.
But when they saw the people coming in, even the kings felt their scalps tingling.
These are not ordinary kings; any one of them can rank among the top experts in major cities.
It’s already quite good for a city to have five people this powerful at this stage.
Now, all of a sudden, there are six or seven more people at Fanggang, which is really alarming.
Lu Yu never expected that Mingzun and the others would return at this time.
Some people thought to themselves: Who says there aren’t many experts defending the port? It’s not that they aren’t capable—it’s just that the time for them to act hasn’t arrived yet.
“That’s the Lord of the Underworld and the Demon-Slaying Elder; both are ancient relics who have awakened after a long slumber.”
“How come we’ve never heard of their names before?” a young person asked in confusion.
“That’s because these people rarely take action, and it’s also uncommon to see them engage in battle.”
“I heard that none of these people were in the city when darkness fell!”
“What?”
Everyone in the store couldn’t help but gasp softly, their eyes growing even more strange.
They no longer even engage in transactions and begin to rise and leave one after another.
Now they are witnessing something truly significant.
Even the descent of darkness did not remain within the city walls; could these people have survived outside the city?
What kind of monsters are these people!
A sea of black mist formed by countless beasts, where even a king would be torn to shreds and not even a trace of bone fragments would remain.
How on earth did these people survive!
…
When Lu Yu went to meet him, he couldn’t hide the joy on his face.
The Supreme Lord of the Netherworld, the Demon-Slaying Elder, the Spirit King, along with his beloved and Xiaoxiao, have all returned.
Even King Reborn and King Violent had arrived.
This was something Lu Yu hadn’t anticipated.
“Senior Ling Wang, who is this?” Lu Yu had never seen anyone by Ling Wang’s side before.
This person had a large, square face, golden hair, and pure white pupils without any distinction between irises and whites of the eyes.
He was probably only about 1.7 meters tall, slightly shorter than him.
This person didn’t appear particularly strong or large, with a slightly thin build.
But standing here, he possessed a power that surpassed everyone else’s.
“You can call me the Sword King,” the man laughed. “Because if my sword leaves my hand, my strength will be reduced by half!”
“Are you also going to the Divine Star?” Lu Yu felt a tremor in his heart.
The swordsman who called himself the King of Swords in front of him possessed power no less than that of Yukihime!
“I want to see what’s on the Divine Star—can anything there surpass the power of the Dark Descent?”
The Reborn King said, “Lu Yu, I heard that the God has specifically chosen you to go to the Divine Star. Now, adding me, the Blazing King, Huo Wu, the Spirit King, Ming Zun, the Evil Demon Elder, and also the Sword King, Xiao Xiao, there are already nine of us. Even if the last one is just a placeholder, I’m afraid we might be enough.”
Liu Xing looked at everyone in the shop, his body trembling with excitement.
These were all people who had already become extremely powerful even before anyone else rose to become a king.
Now they have returned to their thrones, their strength restored to its peak.
Now gathered together, they surprisingly agreed to travel to the Divine Star.
Mr. Lu had previously decided that five people would be enough. Now, there are not only five, but already nine people.
Among the nine people, at least three possess combat strength close to that of a dungeon lord.
With these people going to Shénlíngxīng together, what is there to worry about?
Lu Yu looked at everyone gratefully and said, “Thank you all, thank you all.”
This is his city, and these are the people he is determined to protect.
He, who once had only one true friend, now had so many people helping him that his lips began to tremble involuntarily.
Xiao Xiao, after so many years without seeing each other, is still as cold as ever, but she also seems to have grown up.
That little girl from back then has now become a queen, possessing a power even stronger than his.
The Demon-Slaying Elder was full of energy, no longer showing the decadence of his younger days.
He has slain countless demons in the past, and now he himself has become a king, possessing demonic energy—become a king!
Mingzun stood in a corner with a smiling face. Although he was smiling, he gave people a sense of awe without even getting angry.
What surprised Lu Yu the most was that the Dark Sovereign’s aura was nearly non-existent, resembling darkness itself, and gave off a sense of power slightly weaker than that of Xue Ji.
Xiaoxiao said, “Big Brother, the reason I couldn’t help you before was because I was too weak. Now I’ve finally become strong, and all I want now is to help you protect this city.”
A touch of innocent smile appeared on Xiaoxiao’s previously cold face.
Lu Yu smiled.
The innocent child from back then hasn’t disappeared; he merely hid his feelings because of the apocalypse.
The Spirit King laughed and said, “Lu Yu, now that only one person remains, you don’t need to worry anymore. Focus on your cultivation. You still have great potential for growth. In three months, you should be able to astonish many people.”
The King of Swords said, “But before that, we must first leave our marks on the stone tablet, and then find a quiet place to rest.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing immediately said, “Everyone, rest assured. I’ll arrange for someone to take care of all your daily needs. For the next three months, you just focus on cultivation and don’t worry about anything else.”
These are all allies of Fanggang.
No, they are all people from Fanggang.
Boom!
The stars in the sky trembled, and the earth roared.
Fifty-one stars swiftly illuminated the night sky, and fifty-one beams of light shot straight into the heart of Fanggang.
Everyone in Fanggang City was astonished.
Then, they realized that Kun had begun to forge a star artifact.
The last time, Kun refined Lu Yu’s body into a star artifact, creating an almost invincible humanoid weapon.
Now then, what kind of weapon will this time be.
“This era is quite interesting,” Sword King said with a smile, nodded at Lu Yu, then turned around and walked away laughing.
The Supreme Spirit looked at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, it hasn’t been easy for you to come this far. Particularly, your growth has truly surprised me. However, your understanding of the Killing Star Soul is still somewhat lacking. For these next three months, I will take you somewhere—I will impart to you everything there is to know about the Killing Star Soul.”
“Thank you, senior,” Lu Yu said with a deep bow, his gratitude evident.
Jian Wang and the others went to the stone tablet and left their marks, while Liu Xing had already arranged a place to stay.
The Supreme Lord returned to the shop and looked at Lu Yu, saying, “Come with me; I’ll take you to a place.”
“Where to?”
“Domain of the Sovereign Demon!”
“What?” Lu Yu was greatly surprised.
He was far too familiar with the Demon King’s domain.
Because his beginning could be said to have originated from the Domain of Unified Demons.
But the opening of where requires too cruel a ritual, demanding a blood sacrifice or the use of a key.
Over the years, Lu Yu had only entered a few times.
The Supreme Lord of the Netherworld said he would bring him to rule the demonic realm—could it be that he plans to sacrifice an entire city in blood!
“I won’t do anything like a blood sacrifice,” Lu Yu said. Ming Zun seemed to understand his thoughts and smiled, replying, “However, there happens to be an opportunity now that can take you inside.”
“Is someone going to sacrifice an entire city with blood?” Lu Yu was taken aback.
“No. By this stage, some areas can be accessed autonomously. As for the Domain of the Unified Demon, we only need to enter at a primary level.”
Lu Yu nodded and asked, “What needs to be prepared?”
The Sovereign of the Underworld said, “You just need to ensure that you stay alive.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “As long as it’s not a god doing it personally, killing me will be a bit difficult.”
Lu Yu was very confident about this point.
One-on-one, even a divine servant would find it hard to kill him.
The Supreme Ruler of the Netherworld said, “This time, the opening of the Domain of Unified Demons is different from previous occasions. It concerns you, and it concerns many others as well. This time, even the Divine Servants may have to enter.”
“Does it have to do with me?” Lu Yu was slightly taken aback. He found Lord Ming’s words mysterious, yet he couldn’t explain what they meant.
“Let’s go. It’s probably another six hours before the Demon King’s Domain opens.”
The Sovereign of the Netherworld gestured to Lu Yu, signaling that it was time to leave.
The Supreme One took Lu Yu with him, not teleporting, but flying through the sky.
The Supreme Spirit remained silent throughout the journey, merely leading Lu Yu forward in continuous flight, crossing the borders of Huaxia, and heading deeper into a vast ocean.
Half an hour later, Lu Yu spotted a small island at the end of the horizon.
The island isn’t very big, yet quite a few people have already gathered here.
In the center of the island, on a mountain, a blood-colored altar stood prominently.
Dozens of divine servants, their bodies wrapped in golden light, stood at one corner of the sky. Surrounding them were many people, each with a solemn expression.
This group had the largest number of people, exceeding five thousand.
In other parts of the island, there were also dozens of teams.
Lu Yu could tell that part of it was not human.
“So many people know that the Unified Magic Field is about to open?” Lu Yu noticed that there were at least tens of thousands of people around him.
“This is a quest that will be randomly assigned to some powerful individuals. Of course, it’s not only the person who initiated the quest that can enter. Anyone who arrives here can enter as well. Actually, it’s even more than that—”
Mingzun looked up at the sky as he spoke.
Boom.
A figure descended from the sky like a golden meteor crashing into the earth.
As this person landed, his entire body radiated intense golden light, nearly transforming into armor that enveloped him.
Buzz.
Dozens of beams of light descended from the sky, and from each beam, dozens of people plunged straight down to the earth.
“People from the Divine Star will also come in,” said the Lord of the Underworld.
Dozens of divine servants landed and gathered in one place.
They soon caught sight of another group of divine servants.
A newly arrived divine servant laughed and said, “Alear, you’re really lucky. In such a short time since arriving on this planet, you’ve managed to gather so many divine servants. You’ll surely be rewarded when we return.”
A spirit servant leading the other side chuckled, “Si, are you envious? Unfortunately, this descent isn’t your share. I heard you were severely punished last time since you brought back fewer than a million spirit servants. But this time, what we bring back won’t merely be a million—it’s already more than ten times your number.”
The man called “Si” changed his expression, his eyes flashing with cold light, and did not speak immediately.
A person beside the master said, “According to the rules, the losing side must pay one million points of divine power!”
“Okay.” Alar sneered, “This time you’re definitely going to lose. Didn’t you see the people I brought with me?”
Alar laughed heartily, raising his hands high above his head as he spoke.
Boom!
Thousands of people around Alar released powerful auras.
The false king’s aura exceeded four thousand, and the remaining one thousand was entirely composed of king-level aura.
This sudden move startled all the other factions as well.
Thousands of powerful auras gathered together like this, as if even the clouds in the sky were shattered.
Dozens of people from the company’s side wore slightly chilly expressions.
At this moment, dozens of more beams of light descended from the sky, and dozens of additional divine servants landed on the ground.
These people were extraordinary; each of them was over ten feet tall, and the person at the very front was more than fifty feet in height.
Their entire bodies were as solid as if forged from iron and steel. Each of them carried a stone staff as tall as themselves, with golden light shimmering on the surface, radiating divine power.
“Lu, you’re here too,” said Si, his voice cold. “Looks like we’re in for a fight this time.”
One of the newly arrived servants of the gods, a tall man standing five zhang high, said, “Si, Alai’er. I didn’t expect that this time it would be people from our three cities who came down.”
“The adults aren’t here, so it’s enough for us to handle it.”
“As per the old rule, the loser gets a million points of divine power!”
The five-zhang-tall Luo laughed loudly, saying, “Just like before, these humans aren’t even worth looking at—mere side characters who can only stand aside.”
His voice was as loud as a great bell, like thunder in a dry season, shaking the small island slightly.
Lu Yu looked in surprise at the giants landing last, inhaling sharply and exclaiming, “Giants! Weren’t they supposed to have been destroyed during the Dark Descent?”
