A thousand city lords launched their attacks, which should have been a fatal blow capable of shattering even an entire city.
However, more than five thousand equally powerful auras surged up from the earth, their strength roaring like thunderclouds rising ceaselessly toward the heavens.
Hundreds of puppet warriors soared into the sky, each accompanied by fifty-seven city lord-level poison puppets.
The city lords who had rushed here from all directions were forced to turn their hands and set their sights on these poisonous puppets.
“What’s going on. Humans shouldn’t possess such immense power.”
“Heaven, what’s wrong with this city? It’s so terrifying!”
The lords of the divine city were secretly alarmed in their hearts; who could have imagined that such an event would occur just moments ago.
Boom!
Endless toxic gas surged like an ocean, sweeping from the earth up into the sky.
This —
In an instant, the clouds in the sky were shaken apart, and the starry expanse of the void descended into the sight of everyone.
The true power has not yet arrived. The sky shattered merely by the force of these puppets’ attacks already surpasses their strength.
“Divine Power Ignites!” shouted the city lord, summoning his courage.
The horn sounded, and they had no room left for retreat.
The four-armed human race is the best example.
Because until now, those divine servants who tried to escape are still wailing amidst the ruins; their voices reverberate through the sky and can still be heard hundreds of miles away.
The torment of soul and body—it is the most painful and cruel punishment for any living being.
Boom… boom… boom…
More powerful presences emerged in the sky.
City lords from all directions are approaching, exuding a bloody aura.
“The mountain city has been destroyed; the next one will be Fanggang!”
“The massacre in Weicheng is complete; your Fanggang should be destroyed as well.”
“The inner city is half ruined. But that place is already half-destroyed; destroy this area and then continue.”
…
Innumerable divine messengers appeared in the skies above Fanggang.
They struck, their forces colliding in the sky with the power of the poison puppet.
In that instant, it was as if two stars had collided, compressing the void until it imploded, with the air itself liquefying into a deep blue fluid that dripped from the sky.
The starry sky appeared even brighter.
There are hundreds of millions of divine servants in the nearby areas from all directions.
And it was these very divine servants who were now destroyed by the collision of two powerful forces.
“Set up the Immortal Sky and launch a counterattack!” a giant, only a hundred zhang tall, shouted loudly.
Another city lord shouted fiercely, “Let’s see just how many people are in Fanggang and how long they can hold out!”
More city lords were rushing over through the sky.
Three thousand divine cities, this is the power of the God Star.
Each divine city has a city lord, three generals, and tens of millions of divine servants.
And now all the city lords and generals have descended to Earth, while divine servants continue to emerge, threatening to flood this planet.
A pressure more powerful than the descent of darkness.
Boom!
Tens of thousands of city lords joined forces to suppress the assault, sending hundreds of puppets, including the toxic ones, retreating in shock.
Boom… Boom…
More city lords are taking action.
More skills unleashed by divine servants were impacting the barrier of the second realm.
The city wall was trembling, and cracks began to appear on its surface one after another.
Innumerable kings within the city were also scrambling to set up various barriers.
The army of monsters, as well as the humans, were hurriedly eating and drinking to replenish their energy and hydration.
Even if they can hold out for an hour, they will have an hour to rest.
Even the incredibly hard ground began to crack from the intense battle.
Buzz.
Thousands of city lords stepped onto the Bone City. The combined strength of a thousand people was something Lu Yu could not withstand.
Lu Yu, along with millions of his toxic puppet servants, as well as more than fifty city lords transformed into toxic puppets, were all shattered to pieces.
The gap in strength is too large; this is a fact.
Lu Yu kept retreating, coughing up blood violently.
A hundred puppets suddenly turned their heads. Originally facing the tens of thousands of Shencheng lords, they now swooped downward, plunging into the City of Bones along with more than 5,000 powerful warriors, heading straight toward the thousand city lords.
“Trying to escape!”
Tens of thousands of city lords in the sky roared with fury and chased down together.
As soon as they came down, they noticed the unusual surroundings.
“So this is the weapon that killed the Soul Lord? It’s finally been reforged, but it doesn’t look like much!”
A city lord said, “I heard that once you enter the City of Bones, you can’t leave without killing you, the heir of carnage, is that right?”
Another city lord sneered, “Then just take his body away. If even this heir has been destroyed, can this city still stand?”
“Lu Yu, soon you will only see the city’s anguish and misery with your soul.”
City of Bones, once you enter, there’s no leaving.
This is the largest battlefield—because here reside the most powerful warriors.
Hundreds of puppet warriors clashed with the Poison Puppet, and then stood in opposition to tens of thousands of Shencheng’s city lords.
When the extreme of power is reached, the difference between both sides becomes negligible; it is no longer a matter of strength, but rather of numbers.
The divine power accumulated over generations in the Three Thousand God Cities was partially replicated by Lu Yu in just a short moment.
“Lu Yu, even with these thousands of puppets, you’re still going to die!”
A city lord sneered, “For the sake of your life, use these puppet warriors to shield yourself. You can only watch helplessly as your city is destroyed.”
Lu Yu stood behind a large group of puppet warriors and laughed, saying, “I’ve always said that you people, who think strength alone can conquer everything, don’t understand. How could you possibly know how much I’ve prepared and sacrificed for this day?”
Lu Yu laughed loudly and said, “For all of this, Fang Gang has countless plans. In fact, the final plan is simply to have me alone hold back a large number of your city lords—that’s enough.”
Lu Yu’s laughter echoed in the air, full and exhilarating, growing even more animated.
“I have been gathering military talents since the beginning of the apocalypse, not to have them fight, but for the plan of this day, for the arrangement of this day.”
Lu Yu said.
But at this moment, the faces of all the city lords turned pale with alarm.
They were no longer smiling.
Here – you can come in, but you can’t get out!
Unable to join the battlefield outside the city.
They were trapped, while the puppets that rushed in could leave freely.
A hundred puppet warriors transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-long venomous dragon, soaring into the sky, while 5,700 city lord-level toxic puppets also surged out of the Village of Bones.
Here, Lu Yu is the king; he controls everything.
He allows whoever he wants to come in.
He lets out whomever he deems qualified to leave.
Now he sent his puppet out, while more than eleven thousand city lords of the Divine City were trapped here.
“Roar!”
A ten-thousand-zhang-long poisonous dragon plunges straight into the enemy ranks outside Fanggang City, its toxic flames raging and destroying everything in sight.
The dragon’s tail swung, and with a single strike, it could shatter more than one hundred thousand divine servants into pieces.
5,700 city-level poison puppets descended directly onto the battlefield, leaving wails of anguish wherever they passed.
All the city lords around Fangang are now in the City of Bones, while those outside are all divine servants and generals.
But how could he block it under the bombardment of thousands of city-level toxic puppets.
Moreover, each venomous dragon was accompanied by millions of divine servant-level puppets.
The situation has turned around.
Originally, the attacking side was being slaughtered; the vast, endless army of divine servants had nowhere to flee and no choice but to rise up and fight.
The army of poisonous dragons and toxic puppets swept through with unstoppable force, clearing away hordes of divine servants and attacking enemies both inside and outside the three walls of Fanggang within less than a minute of departing from the City of Bones.
Moreover, at the edge of Fanggang City, the land extended outward for dozens of miles, soaked in black blood, littered with fallen warriors, countless severed limbs, and mangled corpses.
Lu Yu’s puppet army was proving its worth, not merely blocking the enemy but actively destroying them.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of city lords within the City of Bones were trembling all over. They watched as large numbers of divine servants perished, feeling both fury and shock.
A rumbling thunder echoed through the sky, with countless lightning snakes darting between the clouds.
God was angry, rebuking them for their idiotic arrogance and pride.
At first, Lu Yu indeed did not possess overwhelming strength to face so many city lords of the divine cities. Even three city lords joining forces could suppress him.
However, there are countless military strategists within Fanggang City.
Lu Yu explained in detail the abilities of the Blood Tower, his own powers, as well as the situation regarding the City Lord of the Divine City and the Divine Star.
That’s why he himself stood in the north to block the way.
Smith and others were gradually accumulating by leveraging Lu Yu’s abilities.
Therefore, Lu Yu stood on one side, continuously devouring, all the while waiting for the right moment.
Lu Yu continued to hold back the enemy alone, even when the Lord of the Sacred City finally arrived.
All of this is for now.
These strongest beings living on the Divine Spirit Star would believe that the three thousand divine cities can destroy no city, nor kill no person.
It’s bound to lead to negligence and carelessness.
As long as one city lord becomes careless, he will succeed.
Luo Mo’s words are indeed insightful.
Lu Yu also knew that his act of devouring merely gathered the power of those people within his body, rather than truly integrating it.
Once the limit is reached, nothing will remain.
But Lu Yu couldn’t afford to think about all that now—the time was pressing.
He made the puppet warriors stronger, leaving behind more powerful fighters for the harbor’s defense. He even gave Luo Haotian and others control over these warriors, and further provided them with a method to break free from the Guardians’ control.
Once he dies, the city will not be completely destroyed because of him.
Lu Yu wore a triumphant smile.
His ultimate goal here is to trap a large number of Shengcheng lords inside. The more lords he manages to draw in, the less pressure there will be outside.
At the edge of the City of Demon Bones, he clenched his teeth and said, “One after another blocking the assaults of thirty thousand divine cities and countless other forces. Lu Yu, you’re truly ruthless; I really underestimated you.”
A city lord said coldly, “I will kill you first, and then destroy this city.”
“Haha,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “You seem to have been proud for countless years, forgetting too much, even the sense of danger.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing menacingly at the tens of thousands of city lords facing him. “You’ve forgotten where you are,” he snarled. “This is within the domain of the Blood Tower of Slaughter—it’s my battlefield. How dare you try to kill me here!”
Lu Yu suddenly raised his arm and shouted fiercely, as an infinite murderous intent surged out from within his body.
This time, it was the most primal force of slaughter, the power of Lu Yu’s star soul.
The power of slaughter surged through the void, as if countless sharp blades were tearing through the sky.
Vroom!
The City of Bones came to life.
Boom… boom… boom…
The ground beneath everyone’s feet began to tremble more violently.
Then—
The blood light on the giant tower at the center of the City of Bones grew even more intense, as if a blood-red sun was beginning to rise and cast its glow.
Upon that blood tower, the beasts carved like reliefs seemed to come to life. Their bodies began to move slowly at first.
“This is going to bring back to life all the warriors who have perished here and turn them into warriors again?” Luo Mo said to himself.
The Hydra sneered coldly, “It’s useless. Even if he obtained the Blood Tower, he could activate only a small portion of it. This is far from enough for him to stand against ten thousand powerful experts.”
Luo Mo narrowed his eyes, revealing a greedy expression, and licked his lips.
He was staring at the Blood Tower, eager to see just how powerful it truly was!
Since the time of the Soul Lord, the Blood Tower has never been united again.
This is the first time!
Not only Luo Mo, but even the city lords were drawn to look in that direction.
Soul Master, those are ten legendary强者 (strong experts).
Everything about them is a mystery. Especially their weapons, which surpass even the Xingqi, making them the most powerful weapons in this world.
Before their eyes stood the so-called ultimate weapon of slaughter!
The palace has a total of ten levels from top to bottom, and at this moment, the beasts outside the top three levels have become more active.
It started with just moving the limbs, and now they begin to walk, then start to run.
The Hydra trembled in shock, exclaiming in horror, “No, that’s impossible. He actually found three fragments. They were supposed to be destroyed, so why can they still be found?”
Luo Mo looked at Hydra and asked, “What do you know?”
The core of the Blood Tower of Slaughter lies in the Blood Tower itself, which is divided into ten levels. It was constructed using countless magic beasts as its foundation. Once activated, the Blood Tower brings an incredibly terrifying increase in power to the inheritor of Slaughter. If Lu Yu didn’t possess the fragment and couldn’t activate the Blood Tower, then even ten thousand city lords could easily achieve victory. However, now even ten thousand city lords would find it difficult to win. It seems we’ve come somewhere we shouldn’t have. This time’s inheritor of slaughter is someone whose strength is second only to the Master of Souls in all generations!
As the Hydra spoke, the beasts carved into the stone began to move. They were not actually leaping down from the palace, but rather running along the walls of the palace as stone carvings.
They became images on the palace walls, these stone carvings running swiftly across the walls, moving faster and faster.
Millions, tens of millions, perhaps even more stone beasts were running.
Like a giant revolving lantern, it spins until everything becomes a blur of afterimages.
“Roar!”
“Au!”
These beast carvings let out roaring sounds.
The palace began to tremble, and the beast above ran faster and faster.
Moreover, as he ran, the palace emitted a deep, rumbling resonance.
Then these beasts unleashed boundless murderous intent, like hungry wild animals hunting down living creatures, revealing terrifying and bloody intentions.
The land of the City of Bones is covered with countless bones.
All the bones that lay dead had now opened their eyes; pairs of crimson bloodshot eyes gleamed with eerie light, making the bone-covered ground even more sinister and terrifying!
They were unwilling to accept death, releasing boundless resentment and bloodthirst.
Everyone felt the murderous and resentful qi beneath their feet gathering toward the Blood Pagoda.
Each strand of resentment and murderous intent was like a thin thread, moving across the land and converging toward the palace.
No one could figure out what was going on; it was utterly impossible to understand what was happening.
Suddenly—
A speck of blood-red light flickered at the tip of the palace. This tiny spot of light gradually expanded, growing from the size of a star to eventually become a massive, blood-red sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters.
The sphere emitted a faint humming sound, as if vibrating, pulsing slightly once every second.
Many city lords hadn’t even begun their battles yet, and the murderous intent within them wasn’t particularly intense either.
But now, the murderous intent within them was beginning to surge uncontrollably. Originally, they had only intended to kill Lu Yu.
Now they wish they could tear Lu Yu apart limb by limb.
“Kill!” One of the city lords couldn’t help but let out a shout.
Above his celestial crown, a streak of red light suddenly appeared and then vanished into the crimson sphere atop the spire.
Boom… boom… boom…
The void trembled, as if a massive object were streaking through the sky, prompting everyone to look up.
They saw countless beams of red light converging toward the blood orb from all around Fangang, and even from much farther away.
All the red light completely disappeared into the sphere.
The sphere absorbed the blood, but showed no sign of expanding. However, from within the sphere, ten thick beams of red light, each as thick as an arm, extended outward. These ten tendrils of red light twisted like serpents and instantly pierced into Lu Yu’s back the moment they appeared.
Boom…
Endless murderous aura surged from within Lu Yu’s body, like a tsunami crashing forward.
There was absolutely no sign of his companion here, and Lu Yu showed no restraint, unleashing his murderous aura to the utmost limit.
Within a radius of dozens of miles around Lu Yu, the empty space was filled with the clinking sound of sword blades sweeping through the void.
Countless blades sliced through the void, mercilessly cutting down every living being within their range!
