The earth was shaking, and the thunderous rumbling caused the ground to undulate continuously within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
The tremors were so intense that the earth itself seemed on the verge of shattering, with even the mountains swaying.
People were amazed to see the transformation of the Blood Tower.
“What’s going on here?” someone exclaimed in shock. “Why does it feel like this is the Blood Tower’s true form?”
“It doesn’t really resemble that—it seems more like an unfinished grand city.”
People were talking about it.
Some people feel fear, while others feel excitement.
A fearful person sees such a city as if the gates of hell had opened.
They were excited to finally see what the weapon of the Heir of Annihilation truly looked like.
But what exactly is its capability?
The Supreme Lord of Darkness stood in the city, gazing at the strange sight of the Blood Tower. He smiled and said, “This so-called Blood Tower was indeed originally a regular tower. However, after experiencing wave after wave of wars, it has become a blood-soaked battlefield built from flesh and bones—a city ruled by the Master of Slaughter! I never expected, never expected it to reunite once again.”
Boom!
The shaking that nearly shattered the earth came to a stop.
The Tower of Blood ceased its movement and no longer expanded. Before everyone stood a blood-red palace, nearly a thousand meters high, reflecting eerie, otherworldly light under the moonlight.
The palace is divided into ten stories, each one hundred meters high, and its surface is covered with intricate bas-reliefs of animal patterns.
This magnificent palace instilled awe in everyone’s hearts, as if what they saw before their eyes was not merely a palace, but rather a tomb for living beings.
All the beast patterns above the palace seemed to be built from countless animal corpses, causing everyone who saw them to feel bewitched and terrified.
Just at this moment —
Lu Yu was still standing in the underground cave.
The Blood Palace has only one entrance, and all ten layers of the palace are completely enclosed with no windows at all.
At this moment, the position where the ten thousand warriors made of white bones stood was merely a hundred meters away from the palace’s edge, as if they were the city guards standing to protect their king.
But this is not the end yet.
Lu Yu was not only in a cave, but also in an underground ruin.
And now, all the rubble in the underground ruins floated up and automatically gathered towards different locations.
Restore the broken ground, and heal the deep scars upon the earth.
Moreover, countless fragments of stone gathered towards the four directions of the city, forming four towering stone pillars—each a thousand meters high—in the east, west, south, and north. The pillars were covered with crimson cross patterns filled with blood.
The area around Lu Yu became a flat plain.
Besides the central palace, there are four stone pillars with diameters up to one hundred meters and heights of nearly one kilometer.
When the last piece of rubble reached its proper position, the surroundings fell into silence.
However, Lu Yu was shocked.
This is a city no smaller than Fanggang, with its ground paved with huge stone slabs surrounding the palace, resembling a grand plaza in front of an imperial palace.
Lu Yu stood before the palace, the ground beneath him exuding a murderous aura, as if it were about to transform anyone standing upon it into a beast of slaughter.
The red on the crimson cross dripped like blood onto the stone pillar, staining it red.
Then the blood dyed the earth red, turning all the land crimson, and even stained the palace red.
An entire city, including the Blood Tower, turned completely red.
Boom… Boom…
The earth trembled once again.
Lu Yu felt an instant sensation of void movement around him.
Then, when everything before his eyes gradually came back into focus, he saw the bright moon and the vast emptiness surrounding him.
Not underground, nor in nothingness, a blood-red stone city, stretching a hundred miles in every direction, hovers suspended in midair.
The city under the moonlight was as red as if it were bleeding, and the people on the ground stood in a daze.
The Blood Eyes in the nearest underground city to Fangang also saw the city—a massive city suspended in midair.
Under the moonlight, all people felt was shock and terror.
They could not see what was above the Stone City, but they saw what was beneath it.
Innumerable bones lay piled atop one another, compressed together to form the foundation of the stone city.
Every bone fragment was crimson.
There were human bones, bones of wild beasts, and many more bones of mutated creatures whose names were unknown and unpronounceable, as well as bones belonging to the Dragon Clan.
All the bones were piled together.
Some were broken, some were fractured, some had lost their heads, and others had limbs severed…
Sword wounds, fist injuries, fractures—countless types of broken bones, and just as many ways to die.
They were all a deep, crimson red, then piled up beneath the stone city, becoming the foundation of this city that floated in the sky.
The earth was silent, gazing blankly at the sky.
Sword King, Spirit King, and others all emerged, staring at the city in the sky with the same shock.
This is because there is absolutely no one who has actually seen the city.
Even the Lord of the Underworld had wiped the smile off his face, leaving only solemnity and shock.
How many bones have become the cornerstone? No one can count them all.
Billions, tens of billions, or hundreds of billions?
The foundation beneath the city extended hundreds of meters deep, resembling a terrifying hell when viewed from below.
When the blood city appeared in the sky, most of the underground areas of Fanggang were emptied.
However, inside there was a large amount of gravel surging upward, filling the empty underground space.
No one paid attention to the ground anymore; they had all been captivated by the sky.
Someone exclaimed, “Is this really the Blood Tower’s true form? I thought the weapon of the Murder Star Soul was the Blood Tower, so why does it appear as a city?”
Someone said, “The Blood Tower—perhaps the weapon truly is the Blood Tower! But this city wasn’t formed centered around the Blood Tower; rather, it’s entirely built from piles of bones and the bodies of the dead. This city itself is already a symbol of the inheritor of slaughter. Whether you call it a city or a tower, can’t you understand it by seeing this? Slaughter itself is death!”
Killing is death—
The voice of this person echoed through the sky, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble.
Yes, killing is death!
Doesn’t the Killing Star Soul represent death itself? Isn’t the city of bones before them the clearest proof of that?
“Hmph! What do you know about slaughter being the same as death? You people are just afraid. You’ve been terrified by Lu Yu for a long time. How dare you even think of fighting against him?”
A cold, indifferent voice echoed from the sky.
People looked up and saw a blonde figure wearing a mask, standing in the void and gazing down at the earth.
The blonde man spoke again, “Just because you’re afraid doesn’t mean I am. Today, even Lu Yu has retrieved his weapon. I’ll let you all witness with your own eyes how I defeat him.”
When people saw the blond-haired man, they immediately knew he was the representative of the god.
At such times, the existence of the divine spokesperson can be said to be extremely noble, with even the celestial servants descending from the Divine Spirit Star required to obey their commands.
Moreover, some people have also received vague information from the mouths of certain shrine servants.
Once the divine representative arrives at the Celestial Star, a grand city will be bestowed upon them.
Nowadays, many people dare not easily oppose those who speak for God.
And the spokesperson of God is the servant of God, never bowing down to anyone.
Now he is arrogant, but he certainly has the ability to back it up.
The blond man lifted his leg, ready to leap onto the crimson stone city.
“No,” a divine servant suddenly appeared in front of the golden-haired man and hurriedly said, “My lord, please don’t act recklessly. You can go anywhere on this planet, but there’s one place you absolutely must not enter—the stone city.”
The golden-haired man sneered arrogantly, “He may be a killer inheritor with peak King-level strength, but I still slaughtered him. Why shouldn’t I go up there?”
“That’s not a city,” the divine servant stared at the palace and the flat square, saying, “It’s said that this city was built by the first Soul Lord. But what he built was not a city either—it was a battlefield!”
The blonde man said coldly, “The battlefield? What about it? Since it could be built, I can destroy it!”
The divine servant whispered, “My lord, it’s not as simple as you might think! Do you know why the weapon of the Slayer’s heir is called the Blood Tower?”
The blond man shook his head.
“It’s exactly as we see it; the original Blood Tower was indeed a blood tower. The Soul Master of Slaughter built the Blood Tower—it’s that spire we see there.”
“Then what about this city, or as you said, how could this battlefield turn out like this?”
The divine servant’s expression turned serious as he said, “That’s because everyone who has ever stepped onto this battlefield becomes its foundation after death! Initially, there was the Blood Tower, and then after the Slayer Sovereign’s death, for reasons unknown, it split apart. This is the first time since the Slayer Sovereign’s era that it has reunited. In this world, only the people of Divine Spirit City truly understand its terror and have witnessed its power. If you return to Divine Spirit City, you might still have the strength to step onto this battlefield. But right now, once you step onto it, you absolutely won’t be able to leave. That is the territory of the Slayer’s successor—in here, no one dares to set foot upon it.”
The golden-haired man was unconvinced, replying coldly, “On what grounds? Just because of this stone city, or merely because he is a mere Bloodline Heir who isn’t even a King?”
The divine servant hurriedly said, “In terms of strength, you are certainly superior. But once you set foot in that city, everything will change. My Lord, please don’t go there. Your current mission is to head to the Divine Star, not to fight against the inheritor of carnage here. The Blood Tower is the weapon of the carnage inheritor. However, a weapon isn’t necessarily only what is used—it’s a very special piece of equipment. Please don’t act recklessly.”
The golden-haired man gazed at the blood-colored city in the sky and gritted his teeth. “What would happen if I went up there?” he muttered.
He had just declared that he would defeat Lu Yu on the battlefield, and now he was telling him to do nothing and just walk away. Would he still have the face to show?
Moreover, he became the deity’s spokesperson merely because Lu Yu had not agreed to the god’s request, making him the substitute.
Because of this, he felt an even greater urgency to prove his strength to everyone.
Let everyone, even the gods, understand that he is stronger than Lu Yu.
Now that Lu Yu has even retrieved his weapon, this is his best chance.
He became the strongest by defeating the strongest inheritor of the killing legacy.
“If you insist on going up there, you will surely be defeated now,” the divine servant said solemnly. “Because the place where Lu Yu is standing is his battlefield, and there, he is invincible!”
“Invincible!” The golden-haired man’s heart pounded. He found this word even harder to accept.
Lu Yu is invincible, could that be possible?
The divine servant said, “Yes, the current Lu Yu is invincible as long as he stands on that battlefield. Even you would not be his match. The Blood Tower is his weapon, and the battlefield itself is also his instrument of war. I don’t know exactly what immense power Lu Yu can summon there, but when I descended, I was clearly warned that once the Heir of Slaughter sets foot on this battlefield, no one is allowed to approach.”
