Chapter 970: This Is My Turf!

Sunlight spills across the earth, showering countless people.

The light was warm, and the air carried a slight chill of the early morning.

An elderly man in Fanggang City looked up at the sky, the light from above falling upon his face and the city, his voice trembling as he said, “What was destined to come has finally arrived.”

“Yeah, what’s coming finally arrives,” Lu Yu said, looking at the sky as the countdown hit zero at that moment.

“Boom!”

The heavens and earth seemed to roar; countless beams of light pierced the sky, overwhelming the horizon and drowning out the sunlight.

“Kill!”

From the four fissures reaching up to the heavens, countless humanoid warriors surged forth, each radiating an aura of blood and battle.

The earth is not merely a thousand troops charging forward—it resembles the night when the tide of apocalypse descends, with an atmosphere of imminent peril surging into the sky.

“Roar!”

The monstrous army in Fanggang City has begun to move; the troops stationed on the city walls and those within the city are all on the move.

In the city, every tiny, tentacle-like flesh thread on the Blood King Beast’s body was gently swaying, emitting a faint glow.

Hum.

All the auras of the Magical Beasts have changed. Each one has transcended the King, possessing power as formidable as a divine servant!

It rushed out of the city, breaking through the barrier, and charged toward the crowd located merely ten li away from the city.

“Kill!”

Humans roared, and the impact came at that moment.

The two sides clashed, and blood stained the ground red.

Limbs were severed, and screams of agony echoed continuously.

Boom.

The three-headed Illusionary Demon was also in the battlefield. As the magical beasts charged forward, they too surged into the combat zone.

“How could this happen!”

Countless people screamed.

Their battle formation, composed of thousands of soldiers, was directly torn open by the three monstrous illusions.

Many people did not die.

After their flesh and blood had reorganized, they saw an enormous swarm of beasts approaching from the rear, covering the sky and earth.

At this moment, they finally realized that Fanggang City could not sustain a large amount of life. However, the void passage extended boundlessly, and the originally dwelling army of magic beasts within it surged out, tearing through the million-strong human army as they rushed out of the city.

“Heaven, oh my God, this is truly a divine city!” Some kings who had returned from the Spirit Star naturally understood just how terrifying a divine city could be.

At that time, the pressure brought by the Divine City was too terrifying.

At that time, the city guards in the divine city could only defend and not attack, and the city lord did not rush out immediately.

It’s different now.

As soon as the battle began, the three demon beasts, along with millions of magical creatures, charged out of the city, sweeping through their enemy’s ranks like a sharp blade.

Just a single impact was enough to instill terror in countless people.

Boom!

The other side.

West of the city—

In a moment, tens of thousands of people within a vast expanse were enveloped by a blinding light, which then condensed, compressing all these individuals into an even smaller space.

Blood and bones were squeezed out, and the space continued to contract.

Someone screamed in pain, others wailed in agony; their bones were protruding, and the space continued to compress and shrink.

The tragic fate of these people did not stop others from continuing.

They rushed up to the barrier.

“Roar!”

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes transformed into a nine-headed hydra, and darkness erupted from within him.

Boom!

Dozens of hydra-like creatures surged out from the city.

“Damn it!”

The Sky-Sundering King roared furiously, his hundred-thousand-zhang-long Sky-Sundering Wings trembling as Sky-Sundering Beams and the Sky-Sundering Eye struck toward the barrier.

Hum.

In the city, ten puppets of the Heaven-Sundering King also rushed into the sky, and beams of Heaven-Sundering light swept toward the crowd outside.

“Kill!”

King Reborn raised his star artifact and roared, launching a direct attack.

The southern city wall was bathed in radiant light that flooded the emptiness, surging like a vast ocean wave.

As Smith said, whether the enemy is in the millions or hundreds of millions, only a portion, rather than all of them, can eventually come into direct contact with the city.

As long as this group of people is blocked, those behind would either have to step over their companions’ bodies to get through or could only provide support or wait from the rear.

The previous engagement was evenly matched, with the defense forces even having a slight advantage in numbers.

The sky had just begun to lighten. It had only been the first sixty seconds of the seventh day, yet the number of fallen warriors already exceeded one hundred thousand!

North of the city, this is the northern wall of Fanggang, where the colossal bones of the city tower before the humanoid people.

“Lu Yu, this time you must die!” roared the warrior of the Serpent Clan, his expression fierce and menacing.

You must know that when Lu Yu received the help of a king, he certainly didn’t hesitate to extort them, leaving them unable to hold their heads high among the humanoid race.

Boom.

Countless people have set foot in the City of Skeletons.

They were rushing toward the Blood Tower.

“Destroy the Blood Tower. This is the exclusive weapon of the Slayer Heir. Destroy it.”

“That’s right. Back then, everything related to the Soul Master was to be left behind and destroyed completely.”

Innumerable human-like warriors were rushing toward the Blood Pagoda, their weapons striking fiercely at it.

“Stop!”

In the crowd of humanoid beings, someone shouted loudly, “You don’t want to live anymore. How dare you attack the Blood Tower here? Do you really think you have several lives to spare?”

Among the crowd, several humanoid warriors who appeared significantly older stepped forward, and the countless surrounding humanoid warriors quickly retreated.

“The Blood Tower has merged; without killing the Soul Lord, the Blood Tower cannot be destroyed,” said an elderly ape demon. “What are you waiting for? Kill Lu Yu!”

Ape Demon’s voice finally turned into a roar.

The conflict between the Soul Lords and the humanoid race runs deep with bloodshed and hatred, so everything related to the Ten Mutated Star Souls must be destroyed.

Countless people raised their hands, lifting their weapons high into the air, and shouted in unison: “Kill Lu Yu!”

Boom…

All the humanoid warriors sprang into action, charging towards the northern wall of the fortress.

Lu Yu was the only person here.

He has been here since the fifth day.

He sat cross-legged at the edge of the City of Bones, which was also precisely outside the barrier.

As battles began to erupt in other directions, the humanoid warriors were also rushing towards this area.

Lu Yu opened his eyes and, seeing the humanoid warrior lunging towards him, pushed off the ground with both hands and leaped high into the air.

Boom!

The place where he originally sat was struck by thousands of beams of light, and infinite radiance was shining brilliantly.

Lu Yu’s body twisted mid-air, and the Eagle King Wings suddenly appeared behind him, carrying him directly into the ranks of the humanoid warriors.

“Roar!”

Dozens of black gas streams surged from Lu Yu’s body, and in the next second, they transformed into several dragon heads.

The heads of these black dragons opened their mouths and bit down in all directions.

“Click, click…”

Dragon mouths bit into the crowd one by one, and instantly, people all around screamed in agony.

After the dragon’s mouth bit down, many severed limbs and broken arms were left scattered on the ground.

The dragon’s head retracted, completely vanishing into Lu Yu’s body.

Lu Yu stood in a vacuum, surrounded by a sea of blood. In an instant, half of the millions of humanoid warriors had vanished.

The humanoid warrior in the distance had not yet had time to react when he realized that all his companions beside him had suddenly vanished.

Many soldiers still kept their attacking posture, standing there in a daze without realizing what had happened.

“What, what has happened?”

Some humanoid warriors rubbed their eyes hard, realizing something was wrong.

Five hundred thousand people, a full five hundred thousand people, can they vanish in an instant?

The severed limbs and pools of blood on the ground serve as clear evidence that a fierce battle had indeed taken place here not long ago.

However, the blood and flesh from those severed limbs were gradually seeping into the earth, and the bones were sinking into the ground, merging with the city’s surface.

Lu Yu was still standing among them, which indicated that what they had just seen must have been real.

“What are you looking at? The battle has already begun. Are you still going to wait?” Lu Yu swept his gaze over the humanoid warriors, then lifted his leg and dashed forward in a flash toward a specific direction.

The humanoid warrior in that direction was greatly alarmed and then acted without hesitation.

“Roar!”

The Black Dragon’s head reappeared within Lu Yu, devouring all the more than one hundred thousand soldiers at this location, as if swallowing them into an unfathomable abyss.

At this moment, all the humanoid warriors finally saw clearly.

Those companions were the people who had been swallowed by the sudden appearance of the black dragon within Lu Yu’s body.

This, this seems different from the previous Lu Yu.

He’s become ridiculously powerful.

“You’re all too weak,” Lu Yu said mockingly.

That’s the truth.

Among these humanoid warriors, there was indeed a king, but their numbers were scarce—only about a thousand among millions of warriors. Others were of ranks like King’s Honor or Supreme Sovereign, which Lu Yu found utterly unimpressive.

He consumed over three million experts at the Divine Servant level on the Spirit Planet, along with eleven generals and a giant wolf.

Each of the lives that were consumed possessed strength hundreds or even thousands of times greater than these humanoid warriors.

At that time, he could swallow tens of thousands of divine servants in one go, and here he devoured hundreds of thousands of humanoid warriors.

Lu Yu’s obvious mockery immediately provoked dissatisfaction among all the humanoid warriors.

A hoarse voice from behind said, “Go around Lu Yu and attack Fanggang. He’s just one person holding this position; does he actually think he can defend such a vast section of the city wall alone?”

Four hundred miles in length, this section of the city wall is simply too vast. You might not even be able to see its entire span, so how can it possibly be defended?

As the sound exited, all the humanoid warriors immediately sprang into action.

There were more than ten million humanoid warriors atop the City of Bones.

They immediately scattered and rushed toward the barrier.

Some collided directly with their bodies, while others launched skill-based attacks.

At this moment, an aged voice sneered, “Lu Yu, you’re too arrogant. Standing here alone, do you really think you can defend this city?”

Lu Yu stood in place, his voice cold. “It seems you’ve forgotten that you were once nothing more than slaves to the Soul Lord. How dare you now think of rebelling? Have you even forgotten the most basic abilities of the Blood Tower of Slaughter?”

Buzz!

At this moment, the humanoid warriors that had collided with the barrier vanished, followed by the disappearance of the skills that had attacked the barrier.

In an instant, nearly a million warriors and millions of skills vanished.

The humanoid warriors were greatly alarmed, not knowing what had happened.

Boom… Boom…

The void above everyone’s heads suddenly split open.

Then, the vanished million warriors crashed down from the sky, using the same force they had previously employed to strike the barrier, and ferociously collided with the humanoid warriors on the ground.

Bang, bang, bang…

“Oh.”

The camp of the humanoid warriors was filled with continuous screams of agony.

The falling warriors collided with those on the ground; some were shattered into pieces, while others were instantly crushed into blood-soaked pulp.

When the blood hit the ground, the bones of the fallen warriors, now clotted with blood, merged into the blood-soaked city.

Moreover, even though some flesh was still writhing, the lives that could have been revived were also merged into the earth.

Millions of warriors collided with the earth, dying instantly, not a single one survived.

Then, millions of skills from the sky fell down, slashing into the crowd of millions of humanoid warriors, half of whom were turned into blood sludge.

No matter how quiet the surroundings were, the humanoid warrior was still stunned.

This is just the beginning of the war, and they’ve already lost over three million soldiers.

Moreover, the ability to resurrect was somehow ineffective within this city of bones.

Lu Yu scoffed coldly, “Go ahead and attack. You don’t need to pay any attention to me.”

An aged apemon emerged, gritting his teeth, and said, “All the humanoid warriors from the same era as the Soul Master have perished. However, there were rumors passed down stating that in the City of Slaughter, if the inheritor is not killed, the city becomes one where you can enter but never leave. Moreover, if the inheritor of the slaughter survives, all attacks directed outward will only become techniques used by the inheritor. It seems all of this is true.”

“Exactly right,” Lu Yu said,勾ing his fingers in all four directions. “So I’m all that’s needed to guard this place. If you don’t kill me, you’ll never leave this city alive. This is my territory; you’ve come here merely to die!”
