The city remained a city, yet beneath the shimmering golden walls, a vast area spanning thousands of miles around the city gates was shrouded in darkness.
In that area, the black mist continuously extended outward like a giant beast.
Within the black aura, streaks of golden light flickered, and groups of divine servants engaged in fierce battle.
However, later observers saw within it nearly ten thousand dark figures encircling and slaughtering waves of divine servants; the moment the divine servants came into contact with the black aura, they immediately began spitting out large amounts of blood.
The blood initially spat out was bright red, but with each subsequent cough, its color deepened. By the time the blood turned pitch black, the person’s flesh and bones were already dissolving into a stream of black liquid flowing across the ground.
Right after that, a figure completely covered in black, surrounded by swirling dark mist, would rise again from the black water.
More than a thousand divine servants perished within the black mist, and the area covered by the black mist continued to expand.
“Kill!”
Innumerable divine servants rushed into the black mist, their divine powers blazing.
The horn has sounded; to be unaware of the foreign enemy is a dereliction of duty, and those who neglect their duty must die!
The great battle between the divine servant and the poison cultivator has begun.
A large number of toxic people were blown to pieces, their bodies exploding into a vast black mist that filled the sky.
Countless divine servants were also poisoned, their bodies turning into black liquid within ten to twenty seconds.
More and more divine servants hurried over, already blocking the ten thousand poison men near the city wall.
The servants of the divine have already come to understand who they are facing here.
“It’s that human, the one who killed the general. He’s nearby.”
“Find him and kill him.”
Innumerable divine servants roared in fury; some had already rushed out of the city or soared into the sky, searching desperately for Lu Yu.
Boom!
In the city, the toxic fists of the three generals, who had transformed into poison-infused beings, surged like dragons, tearing a gap through the encirclement formed by hundreds of thousands of divine servants.
All the divine servants blocking the path of the fist’s momentum were shattered.
General-level, this is a gap between heaven and earth compared to ordinary divine servants.
They were far too powerful, their strength already unparalleled on the Divine Star.
Now, with three generals joining forces, it is no longer a situation where even hundreds of thousands of ordinary divine servants could suppress them.
The three toxic men led the way, leaving a trail of blood wherever they went, turning rows of divine servants into toxic beings.
“Block them, block them!” The priests felt the pressure and kept shouting, calling for their companions to come to their aid.
Boom! Boom!
Each strike from the Three Venomous Men could instantly kill dozens of divine servants, leaving no one capable of withstanding them!
The black aura is expanding; ten thousand poisoned individuals have transformed into twenty thousand, and the number continues to rise.
The horn has sounded less than an hour ago, yet already hundreds of thousands of divine servants have transformed into poisoned beings.
Some of the poisoned individuals were blasted once again, but the number of poisoned individuals continued to grow.
After all, with three general-level toxins leading the way, how could the divine servants possibly stand in their path!
“Kill!”
All the divine servants roared loudly, using this method to boost their courage.
People outside the city were searching for Lu Yu’s shadow, but they couldn’t find it at all.
Because Lu Yu’s presence was completely undetectable, as if he had vanished entirely from the vicinity.
Millions of divine servants flooded this area.
The expansion of the dark energy was temporarily suppressed.
Even the Three Generals among the Poisons could not withstand the combined attack of millions of divine servants; one of the Poisons had its arm shattered.
“Kill them!” The priests, seeing the suppression succeed, immediately shouted in excitement.
But at this moment, all the poisoned individuals suddenly retreated.
They withdrew from the city and reached the area outside the city.
Then he turned around and ran away.
“Chase and kill, leave no one behind,” a figure clad in golden armor appeared mid-air above the city, issuing the command with a stern voice.
Everyone could sense the anger in the figure.
In this city, besides the city lord, the three great generals hold the highest status.
They were responsible for maintaining order in an entire city, yet at this moment, they were being challenged by a single human.
The general gave the order, and countless people rushed into the city.
Vroom!
Suddenly, the sky and earth trembled. A human figure transformed into a streak of lightning, dashing between the city’s buildings toward the golden-armored figure.
The figure moved at an extremely fast speed, so fast that all the divine servants couldn’t react in time, not even the general could respond.
A single sword trembled, and ten beams of sword light transformed into countless sword shadows that engulfed him.
“Roar!”
The toxic gas coalesced, and a dragon claw struck straight toward the general.
Hum.
A thousand-meter-tall armored figure, as if a thousand-meter-high divine statue coming back to life, struck its palm toward the heavens and earth.
“Oh!”
The general screamed in agony as he was slammed into the ground by the dragon’s claw and sword light.
When all the light faded away, a figure lunged out and pressed a hand onto the general’s crown. Blue flames flickered from the palm, burning the general’s soul.
The general let out a piercing scream, his body trembling violently as he could no longer fight back.
When the divine servants realized what was happening, they could only watch helplessly as the attacker snatched away a general from the city.
Buzz.
The person’s palm erupted with surging blue flames, while black mist seeped into the general’s body.
A powerful general was turned into a toxic creature in less than a minute.
The servants of the deity stood there in a daze.
The person they couldn’t find had actually been hiding in the city all along.
He had actually been waiting in ambush for the general’s arrival.
The tens of thousands of divine servants who rushed out of the city were instantly confronted by the four generals transformed into poison-infused beings, along with the combined counterattack of twenty thousand poison-infused beings.
With Lu Yu joining the battle as well, the attacks of the Sword Dragon and the Dragon King struck at the same time.
Within less than ten minutes, tens of thousands of people were transformed into toxic beings.
Three ten thousand poison men quickly moved away and then vanished at the horizon.
Moreover, the city’s divine servants dared not pursue further.
They even lost a general; if they continued the pursuit, who knows what other ambushes might be waiting for them.
What, what exactly are these humans trying to do?
How dare they launch a surprise attack on a city like theirs?
…
The Divine Star is immense, home to thirty thousand cities, each containing tens of millions of divine servants, along with three generals and a city lord.
For example, the city where the Wolf Demon is located.
Here it is known as the City of Wolf Demons, and all the divine servants here are Wolf Demons.
Even the city lord and the three generals are wolf demons.
Not long ago, they not only slaughtered everyone in a city, but also devoured all the humans there.
Now they are still savoring the taste of blood.
Boom!
A black dragon flew in from the distance and, in an instant, arrived above the City of Wolf Demons. Its enormous dragon claws spread across hundreds of zhangs, covering countless wolf demons beneath a shroud of dark mist.
“Auww.”
Thousands of wolf demons instinctively counterattacked in unison.
However, hundreds of them were infected with the wolf demon’s poison.
Thousands of wolf demons sent the toxic dragon into a sky filled with black mist, but they did not expect that within the mist, four powerful presences, each as strong as a general, surged downward alongside thirty thousand dark figures.
Thousands of wolf demons were completely annihilated in less than a minute.
The dead wolf demon rose from the black water and charged at its kin all around.
At that moment, the outskirts of Wolf Demon City were also filled with the sounds of horns, as countless wolf demons rushed to provide reinforcements.
This battle ended an hour later, with thirty thousand poison men, fifty thousand wolf demons, and four of the strongest poison men withdrawing from the city and vanishing into the horizon.
The wolf demons did not pursue.
The beasts’ instincts allowed them to sense the scent of danger.
…
Twelve hours after the battle, four cities were attacked.
Sixty thousand poisoned humans, fifty thousand wolf demons, twenty thousand bear beasts, and five general-level poisoned humans.
Never, absolutely never, had anyone dared to launch an attack on any city within the Divine Realm.
Therefore, the defenses of these cities failed completely to prevent the surprise attacks.
Lu Yu’s army of poisoned warriors is growing like a rolling snowball.
Lu Yu calculated silently, his voice cold as he spoke, “At this rate, there’s absolutely no doubt that we’ll have an army of two million toxic warriors within ten days.”
On the plains, the aura of 130,000 poisoned humans and beasts merged together, resembling the return of darkness, covering a void of tens of thousands of zhang as it advanced forward.
When Lu Yu arrived at the fifth city, he could hear from afar the sounds of fighting and screams of agony coming from within the city.
The edge of the city had already descended into chaos.
“Does anyone else share my thoughts?” Lu Yu looked at the city and said, “Why wait any longer? We should act now while the chaos is unfolding.”
As Lu Yu’s thought stirred, a legion composed of 130,000 poison-infused humans and beasts charged toward the city.
The city was already in chaos.
As the Poisonous Army charged in, the outskirts of the city quickly became even more chaotic.
This is also a city of humanity, where hundreds of thousands of divine servants have already gathered at the city’s edge.
They originally had the ability to not only contain the intruders but even eliminate them.
However, a legion of 130,000 toxic warriors surged in, led by five general-level toxic warriors, instantly throwing hundreds of thousands of divine servants into chaos.
Lu Yu also saw the other person in mid-air.
This was a group of more than ten people led by Luo Mo and Lie Tianwang.
Beside them, there were also around two hundred thousand puppet warriors.
Of course, they also saw Lu Yu.
At this moment, both sides’ eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit.
The Sky-Sundering King roared, “Lu Yu, let’s fight again after this. For now, let’s join forces and take as many puppets as we can.”
“Okay,” Lu Yu nodded in agreement.
In an instant, the two forces balanced each other, combining their strengths to the point of suppressing even hundreds of thousands of divine servants.
Two hours later, Luo Mo and others withdrew with the puppet army.
Lu Yu’s army of poisoned warriors also withdrew.
The city’s divine servant stood atop the city wall, roaring in anger, yet no one dared to pursue him.
The number of enemies was not large, but they feared being surrounded and trapped.
A general appeared at the edge of the city wall as Lu Yu and the others vanished beyond the horizon.
He stared at the grim scene at the edge of the city, a trace of chill creeping into his voice: “As far as I know, never before—never in history—has humanity dared to commit murder within the Sacred City. Has this era truly become even more terrifying than the age of the Nine Great Soul Lords?”
…
This day marked a disaster for the five sacred cities.
No one could have imagined that someone would dare to attack them right in their own territory.
These humans are crazy.
The news spread rapidly, expanding from one city to dozens, and then to hundreds. When there were still nine days and seven hours left in the countdown to the city battle, the entire Divine Star was already in an uproar.
“He’s gone mad, absolutely mad.”
“Damn it, are they even human?”
“If they dare to come again, not one of them will be spared.”
The city’s divine servants were roaring, each exuding an aura of deadly menace.
The city battle hasn’t started yet, but someone dares to attack them and create a puppet army.
As the news spread, deep within another vast mountain range shrouded in endless dark mist, the poison-clad army and approximately two hundred thousand puppet soldiers stood motionless.
Lu Yu, Luo Mo, and the Heaven-Sundering King stood on a flat expanse, facing off against each other.
Luo Mo said coldly, “Lu Yu, shall we cooperate and launch a surprise attack on a city at this moment?”
The Sky-Sundering King said, “Lu Yu, this is not the time for one-on-one duels. Our time is running out. Unless we possess a massive puppet army, we stand no chance against these cities.”
Lu Yu did not object. He said, “I agree with that. Whether you were enemies in the past or are enemies now, we currently share a common enemy. As long as this cooperation benefits me, it works.”
“Recently, I’ve already chosen a target,” Luo Mo said, licking his lips. “I sent out a clone and found a city not too far from here. If we can join forces and are ruthless enough, we might actually be able to take over the entire city!”
