Nine people chose their weapons.
Or perhaps it could be said that they simply selected the equipment best suited to their abilities.
And this is only six boxes.
The items in the remaining nineteen chests were also no weaker in power than the Star King Shield and other treasures.
The more they realized this, the more alarmed they became about the accumulated power of the Snake Clan.
If the Serpent Clan were to form a legion using this equipment, combined with the power of the Nine Great Serpent Devils working together, no city would be able to withstand them.
Is Fanggang going?
The nineteen boxes were taken out and distributed among Luo Haotian and others.
Lu Yu left Fanggang and headed to the city where Lou Xiaoyu was located, intending to hand over the Yaoyue Shield to her.
However, the city had been reduced to ruins, with not a trace of life remaining.
Lu Yu looked at the city ruins and smiled: “You fulfilled your promise, and you kept protecting this city until the very end.”
Lu Yu stood silently above the ruins for a long time before finally leaving.
In a nearby city, he wanted to find out how Lao Xiaoyu died.
He received exciting news that thrilled him.
Lao Xiaoyu did not die, but as to where she went, no one knows.
Lu Yu asked many people again, even went to the military in the city of Sijiu, but no one knew anything about Lao Xiaoyu and the others.
The military’s last contact with Lou Xiaoyu was after darkness fell.
They indeed passed through the darkness, but overnight, an entire city’s population vanished.
Lu Yu returned to Fanggang in disappointment, temporarily put away the Yaoyue Shield, and began preparing for the upcoming battle.
Lu Yu found Kun.
At this point, he realized that the set of star artifacts, refined from the vast ocean of gold and stone, had expanded to include one primary artifact and sixty star artifacts in total.
According to Kun’s plan, it should be completed before the start.
When Lu Yu saw Kun, he was startled.
Kunming had lost some weight recently.
A king named Zun, whose vitality is almost never consumed unless he is in battle.
However, Kun’s noticeable weight loss startled Lu Yu.
“What’s going on?” Lu Yu was startled.
Kun looked on, shaking his head, and said, “Don’t be afraid; I won’t die just yet. I have a bad feeling about this—it’s likely that this time the tide of the apocalypse has begun, marking the start of the end. The last time I felt like this was when the darkness first descended.”
Lu Yu looked at Kun, his heart trembling with shock.
Kun has experienced the descent of darkness; this feeling should be accurate.
Lu Yu took out a divine crystal and gave it to Kun.
Kun took one look and handed it back to Lu Yu, saying, “I don’t need it anymore. If you die in battle on the planet of the gods, I will commit suicide, and nothing will remain of me.”
Kun seems to have seen through life and death. Having died once, there is nothing left to fear.
Lu Yu did not say much more, and bowed deeply to Kun and the ten other gifted members of the One-Eyed Clan.
Kun said, “I heard that the divine servants who came down from the Spirit Star include warriors of the Giant Clan, right?”
Lu Yu nodded his head.
“If you ever see a One-Eyed Warrior on the Spirit Planet, help me kill them. Although our One-Eyed Tribe is not a battle race like the Dragon Clan, we certainly don’t need cowards!”
“Okay.”
Lu Yu nodded.
Kun closed his eyes to rest, preparing to continue the refining process.
Lu Yu left Kun and sought out the Lord of the Netherworld. From the Lord, he obtained a great deal of information about the Blood Tower.
“Do you know? The Blood Tower and the hundred thousand white-clad warriors were originally one and the same.”
The Sovereign of the Netherworld looked at Lu Yu and said, “After the Soul Master, they separated. Until now, they have never been united as one.”
“How can I possibly merge the Blood Pagoda with myself?” Lu Yu realized after seeing the Yaoyue Shield that the Blood Pagoda did more than just help him absorb the essence of slaughter.
The real Blood Tower is definitely capable of combat.
The Supreme Ruler of the Netherworld said, “This is something only the Soul of the Slaughter Star can know. You’ve already found the Blood Pagoda; go ahead and try to find a way.”
Lu Yu nodded his head.
Even without the mention from the Sovereign of the Underworld, he had already prepared to take action against the Blood Tower.
He still doesn’t understand the true purpose of the Blood Tower.
Head to the Blood Tower——
The first place Lu Yu wanted to check was the altar located beneath the Blood Tower.
As Lu Yu stepped into the underground cave, he could immediately hear a series of furious roars coming from the direction of the altar.
Within the altar shrouded in toxic gas, more than a dozen monstrous beasts were roaring and wailing there.
However, these magical beasts were poisoned, and many parts of their bodies had already been corroded down to gray bones.
To Lu Yu’s surprise, these magical beasts possessed only the strength of ordinary kings. They should have been corroded into black water within a few breaths, yet the corrosion effect on them was extremely slow, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
When Lu Yu saw them, the magical beasts saw Lu Yu as well.
They glared at Lu Yu with the most venomous eyes and rushed toward the toxic barrier.
Boom!
Poisonous haze flickered, with dark vapors swirling above.
More than ten magic beasts collided with the toxic barrier. Their bodies came into contact with the poisonous gas, and more areas of their bodies began to corrode.
“Human, we haven’t done anything. Why are you imprisoning us?”
A magical beast trembled, gazing at Lu Yu with despair.
It is very rare for a魔獸 to evolve into a King Ancestor.
Moreover, there were more than ten powerful magical beasts at once, which was even more incredible.
Three-headed魔人猿, five-headed魔狼, and seven魔猿 are all among the most common magical beasts.
And now they have become the mighty King Zun.
Moreover, the resistance to poison displayed by these magical beasts astonished Lu Yu.
His venom has become unmatched.
Even a powerful warrior like the Golden Armor Man couldn’t resist such poison. Why would these ordinary King-level monsters possess such an ability?
Lu Yu looked at the dozen or so magical beasts, observing them as he spoke: “Why were you all imprisoned inside the altar?”
“Just because we are魔 beasts, the lowest and most despicable form of life, we shouldn’t become Kings,” a demonic ape growled, his eyes turning extremely sharp and fierce, “Spare us, and we are willing to fight for you.”
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes at these magical beasts and smiled, “It won’t be that easy, I’m afraid! Do you know how potent my poison is? It can even kill a king far more powerful than you, yet it can’t kill you all. You must possess special abilities, which is why you were imprisoned here. Since none of you wish to speak, I think I should add another layer of precaution—a further barrier for your containment.”
Lu Yu spoke, and dark energy emerged from his palm, transforming into numerous venomous snakes that twisted their bodies in the air.
More than ten magical beasts looked on in alarm, their expressions changing drastically.
A demonic ape quickly said, “No, don’t. We haven’t done anything, just became king, nothing else. Really, truly nothing.”
Lu Yu’s expression turned icy, and he coldly said, “It’s already impossible for a single era to produce two Kings. As for a King Monarch, there can be only one. Yet here you have fifteen King Monarchs altogether. If someone powerful had a collecting obsession, it would still be impossible for them to gather you all across multiple eras, only to use you for suppression! Everyone, your lie is simply too unconvincing. If you don’t wish to speak, then continue staying trapped here.”
Lu Yu took a step forward as he spoke, and the ground beneath his feet transformed into toxic flames that surged upward toward the cave ceiling, forming a wall of poison.
“No, no!” the demon ape trembled, saying: “Human, we haven’t done anything wrong, we merely ate a few people, never committed any evil deeds. You humans kill us, so shouldn’t we be allowed to eat humans too?”
“Your mouth is too stubborn. The poison barrier can create poison beings. You guys have even beheaded poison beings; ordinary kings don’t possess such capability.” Lu Yu said coldly, without stopping his pace.
In no time, another layer of toxic barrier was set up at the periphery of the existing one.
This time’s toxic barrier is even stronger than the last one!
It’s also Lu Yu’s ultimate poison, absolutely unsolvable.
Fifteen fierce magical beasts looked at Lu Yu in terror. Seeing that Lu Yu completely ignored their pleas and explanations, each of them erupted with killing intent, which transformed into an immense wave of murderous aura surging toward Lu Yu.
“Roar!”
At the same time, fifteen magic beasts roared in unison.
They jumped up, and all the corroded wounds on their bodies disappeared.
At the same moment, the auras of the fifteen magical beasts surged explosively, reaching the peak of the King realm, as their fifteen powers converged into one.
Even the aura alone is equivalent to a single strike from a king at the peak of his power.
However, as soon as these auras appeared from the fifteen magical beasts, countless blood threads immediately descended from the blood tower above, piercing into the bodies of these beasts.
The aura of fifteen King-ranked magical beasts instantly vanished, reverting to the level of King’s Disciple once again.
Lu Yu was greatly shocked and thought to himself: So the Blood Tower had been suppressing these monstrous beasts all along.
However, what makes these fifteen magical beasts so different that they have to be suppressed in this way!
Lu Yu said while thinking, “There’s definitely something wrong. Your endurance is too poor; you’ve already revealed your hand like this.”
“Humanity, despicable humanity!”
Fifteen monstrous beasts roared furiously, wildly ramming into the toxic barrier within.
They were poisoned, but the poisoned areas healed quickly.
Lu Yu stood outside the toxic barrier for a while, his voice cold as he said, “Immortals! You are actually immortal!”
Lu Yu was secretly startled in his heart.
Apart from immortality, he couldn’t think of any other way to counteract his poison.
“That’s right. You guessed correctly,” a demon ape coldly snarled, letting out a loud roar.
Blood patterns immediately emerged on the altar, and from within them, monstrous creatures began crawling out. First, grade one Demon Apes, then grade two Demon Wolves—these weak monsters charged toward the altar, crashing into it one after another.
However, these weak magical beasts died immediately upon colliding with the toxic barrier.
After more than a hundred thousand magic beasts had died one after another, the remaining fifteen magic beasts stopped roaring, and no more magic beasts emerged from the altar.
“Human, let’s talk calmly,” said a demon ape, trying to calm himself as he sat on the edge of the altar. “We will do our best to meet whatever conditions you have. But please, let us out.”
“That’s right,” another demon ape immediately nodded. “As long as you’re willing to let us out, we’re willing to tell you the secret of immortality.”
Lu Yu’s eyes flickered. The secret to immortality was simply too tempting a request to ignore.
However, Lu Yu’s eyes soon turned resolute as he said, “I’d rather believe that the Blood Tower is sealing you away out of fear of your immortality.”
“Human, the outside world should be in the midst of an apocalypse, right? Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been released. If you’re willing to let us go, we can help you withstand the apocalypse until you’ve safely passed through it.”
“You certainly don’t understand why we’re here. It was precisely because of our immortality, protecting some people through the apocalypse tide, that we were suppressed.”
The World of Warcraft’s words became more and more tempting.
The ability to be immortal can be achieved through the apocalypse tide; this is absolutely possible.
Lu Yu lowered his head, hesitating.
A demonic ape slightly curled the corner of his mouth and said, “Human, believe us. We don’t want to be trapped here either. Moreover, with your strength combined with the Blood Pagoda’s suppression, even if we deceive you, you could trap us again!”
The demon ape was very sincere and serious.
Lu Yu frowned, as if his heart had been stirred.
Fifteen magical beasts had unusual glimmers in their eyes.
“You can’t even imagine the mighty army of monsters we possess. Even if enemies from the Divine Star were to descend, they wouldn’t stand a chance against us.”
A monstrous wolf continued speaking.
