A row of stones is situated in the underground city’s plaza, each stone adorned with mysterious symbols that shimmer in golden runes.
“That’s the divine mission stone; we also receive tasks from it. If you want to take a mission, just place your hand on it. I remember there was a task yesterday to hunt down a thousand King-level beasts, with a reward of a half Celestial Artifact fragment. As for that mission everyone, including the City Lord, is preparing to take, you’d better not attempt it. If you accept it and fail to complete, you might lose your life.”
The dog said, and without waiting for Lu Yu to ask anything, he had already retreated far away.
He retreated step by step, whispering softly, “Please hurry and go over there, or else I’ll lose a beast corpse.”
The puppy isn’t clever, but he’s also unsure inside.
Since no human has ever used a quest stone in the dungeon before, it is unknown whether any unexpected incidents might occur.
If something unexpected were to happen, he would be implicated as well, since he and Lu Yu were standing so close together.
Therefore, the dog retreated to a distance, its eyes fixed intently on Lu Yu.
Lu Yu merely smiled and then imitated the blood-eyed warrior beside him by placing his hand on the stone.
A row of words flickered before his eyes.
Tasks of different levels vary.
You can take on missions at your own discretion.
However, the higher your level, the fewer rewards you will receive for completing low-level tasks.
Of course, conversely, your level and strength are low.
If you complete higher-level tasks, the rewards you receive will be greater than the original rewards.
Along the way, Gouzi told Lu Yu that someone in the city had accepted a task nearly at the King-level, yet their cultivation was only at the Ten-Thousand Sovereign stage.
This task was fortunately completed by this person.
As a result, he received a reward one hundred times greater than what he deserved. The reward included a King Crystal and the ability to choose once to alter his own attributes with a King-level skill.
This person rose directly from an ordinary individual to become one of the top experts in the city.
That ability to self-modify attributes allowed him to alter the skills within the King’s Crystal, resulting in a significant enhancement of his attributes.
Lu Yu is not interested in tasks that match his own level of ability.
This balance is determined according to the attributes.
Look at his attributes, there are only several tens of millions of statues.
But in terms of strength, he was already capable of challenging a king.
After flipping through it for a while, Lu Yu finally found the mission that Doggy mentioned.
The minimum rank required to complete the task, as indicated above, is King rank. Upon completion, the reward will be a one-time opportunity to select a self-adjusting skill attribute.
Lu Yu thought to himself: No wonder even Wang is starting to prepare to take on this mission.
If you take on this mission, you can enhance your skills in becoming a king, and your strength will be greatly increased as well.
However, when Lu Yu chose to accept the mission, a warning popped up.
…
Note: This mission is exclusive to the Blood Eye Clan. For non-Blood Eye Clan members who accept it, the difficulty will be doubled, and accordingly, the rewards will also be doubled. The mission is randomly assigned, not fixed!
Warning: Once you accept this mission, if you fail to complete it within the specified time, your soul will be directly erased. If you possess any means of resurrection, it will be consumed immediately, and the mission will still be marked as a failure. You will no longer be allowed to accept this mission again in the future.
Warning: You are not a member of the Blood Eye Clan. Once you accept this mission, the difficulty will increase.
Accept the mission or not—
…
Lu Yu watched as lines of text flickered, and before his eyes, a glow of red and white light shimmered.
Choosing the red light means acceptance, while the white light signifies giving up.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and then chose the red light.
I still have a puppet body in Fanggang.
Even if I die this time, it’s just using up one resurrection opportunity.
If completed, the enhancement of strength would be tremendous.
When he accepted this mission, everyone around the mission stone couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“Heavens, someone actually took on that King-tier mission?”
“Which king do you mean?”
“Are you kidding? If we fail this mission, it’s a death sentence.”
Numerous bloodshot eyes immediately began murmuring in discussion, glancing around curiously.
However, these people soon regained their calm.
“It’s useless to take the mission. There were a few people who accepted it before, and even a king nearly lost his life. If it weren’t for resurrection techniques, it would have been a disaster.”
“Just wait. It won’t be long before this task comes back to us.”
Everyone went about their own business, each person thinking nothing of it.
Even their city lord had to prepare for a long time and dared not come to take on this task.
Other city lords have also seen this task here, and several people have been preparing for it, but they still dare not recklessly take it on.
After all, the ability to resurrect is not something everyone possesses.
Lu Yu received the mission. In front of him, crimson sigils flickered rapidly before swiftly forming into several lines of text.
“This—”
Lu Yu was greatly shocked, his heart tightening painfully.
…
Mission: Break through the underground city of blood within three days! The countdown will start in one second. After one second, the Blood City will be sealed, the defense shield will be activated, and except for the Blood Eye, all living beings are only allowed in, not out.
The defense shield will be deactivated in forty-eight hours.
The countdown begins, your location will be displayed at random times.
Humanity, prepare for exile.
…
These words were almost enough to kill Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was momentarily stunned, his whole body drenched in cold sweat like rain.
Buzz!
Above the city, a sudden crimson glow pierced the sky. On that luminous crystal, a soft blue light transformed into a radiant canopy that instantaneously enveloped the entire city.
People in the city are daydreaming.
Because they had never seen the crystal stone, which brought them light, exhibit such unusual activity before.
Lu Yu planted his feet firmly on the ground and suddenly sprang upward.
“Old man, I’ll f*** your grandfather!”
Lu Yu let out a furious roar towards the sky, no longer concealing his aura.
Boom!
A vast and oceanic aura erupted from his body.
The surge of power from twenty-seven million Zuns instantly transformed into a violent tornado, shaking the surroundings in all directions.
“Oh!”
There were as many as ten thousand people standing in front of the mission stones scattered around.
Nearly ten thousand people were struck by the edge of the tornado, their bodies instantly shattered into pieces, flesh and blood turned to mud.
Rows of houses were instantly torn to pieces in the blink of an eye.
Within a radius of a thousand feet around Lu Yu, everything except the mission stone was shattered.
Everywhere was filled with screams, and cries of anguish echoed all around.
Because no one knew what had happened here, the sudden destructive force left them overwhelmed and at a loss.
Especially the tremor of power from twenty-seven million尊, even King Zun could not withstand it and was shattered into a bloody pulp.
Vroom!
The steel eagle wings behind Lu Yu spread open, with the Milky Way winding around them.
In an instant, the eagle’s wings activated.
Innumerable rivers of stars suddenly appeared, then in an instant covered the eagle’s wings.
The Iron Eagle Wings instantly expanded, transforming into a pair of eagle wings nearly a thousand zhang long. They soared through the sky, leaving a trail of starlight as they carried Lu Yu beyond the borders of Blood Sea City.
Lu Yu’s speed reached the extreme; no one could see Lu Yu as a shadow.
Even the stars in the sky had to wait nearly half a second after Lu Yu streaked across the heavens before they could form a thousand-zhang-long starry band visible in the air.
By now, Lu Yu had already reached the edge of the city.
Above him, the crystal-encrusted sky had not yet fully descended, leaving a small gap through which he could still pass.
But just as he was about to reach the edge of the shield, the shield began to accelerate downward.
Boom!
Lu Yu’s head slammed against the protective shield.
Boom! Boom!
The entire City of Blood Sea was trembling.
Everyone in the city came out of their rooms, and each house was shaking.
Since the founding of this city, nothing like this has ever happened before.
Everyone was overwhelmed.
Then, in an instant, everyone froze.
There are no fewer than a million bloodshot eyes in this city.
They both heard the voice of the deity in their ears and received the task assigned by the deity.
Someone shouted loudly, a pair of bloodshot eyes emitting a crimson glow, roaring, “The gods have issued a mission: slay the human intruders and ascend directly to kingship.”
Boom!
The entire city was in an uproar.
“Human, come out.”
“This city is not a place for you to come.”
“Shred him, devour his flesh and blood alive.”
Pairs of bloodshot eyes shot out crimson beams of light.
“Buzz!”
Wang Wei appeared in all directions of the city.
Not all the Blood-eyed Kings went to the surface; some remained underground to protect the city and guide young Blood-eyed warriors in their training.
In an instant, dozens of royal auras surged into the sky.
The task given to the ordinary Blood Eye warrior was to ascend directly to kingship.
Yet the mission given to the kings was far more tempting.
“Human, you dare to sneak into the Blood Eye city, and now you want to escape?”
The Blood-eyed King leaped up and stood directly in midair to check the intruder’s information.
At this moment, a blood shadow descended from the sky and landed on Lu Yu’s position.
Lu Yu was completely enveloped in a crimson glow, transforming into a blood-soaked figure.
“It’s him, it’s him!”
“There, I felt the presence of humanity.”
“Someone actually dares to enter Xueyan City? Kill him! Don’t miss out on fresh blood and flesh.”
Everywhere there was wild laughter; the city was boiling over.
Such a task was something no one could refuse.
When Lu Yu was sent flying backward by the force of the light barrier, he crashed into a cluster of buildings.
As soon as he climbed up, he saw thousands of bloodshot-eyed warriors charging toward him like beasts.
Lu Yu shouted fiercely, “Get out, all of you! I don’t care who you are—if anyone dares to move closer, I’ll kill you all!”
The roar of voices surged and burst around him.
Thousands of blood-eyed warriors were instantly blown into blood-soaked pulp.
The countless Blood Eye warriors behind were greatly alarmed. At this moment, they felt the aura emanating from Lu Yu and were all astonished, their faces paling in shock.
“With over twenty million attribute points, this isn’t an ordinary person.”
“There are rumors spreading that the ‘uncrowned king’ of the surface world has actually arrived underground, invading their territory.”
“What’s the use of coming here as an uncrowned king? I’ll still take you down!”
Innumerable bloodshot eyes roared in fury, charging madly toward Lu Yu.
The bloodshot eyes, which had turned into a pool of blood on the ground, regained their physical forms and charged forward one after another, as if they had nothing to lose.
They opened their mouths, revealing a dense array of fangs.
Their teeth are powerful enough to tear through armor, and their formidable blood-red eyes, even if they do not become kings themselves, can still rip through the flesh and blood of kings.
“You don’t want to live anymore, huh? Then all of you can just die.” Seeing that intimidation wasn’t working, Lu Yu decided to take direct action.
Boom.
Black gas surged like waves from his palms, rolling forward and devouring thousands of bloodshot eyes.
These bloodshot eyes were instantly corroded into a pile of white bones as the black waves swept over them.
When the black waves completely swept over his body, the white bones were transformed into black water that seeped into the ground.
A king rushed over from the sky and immediately used his royal ability as he raised his palm.
Black light transformed into hundreds of thousands of black blades, slashing downward.
On the ground, demonic energy surged.
Lu Yu deployed the Demon Nest!
Boom!
Over a hundred Dark Dragon Kings unleashed their Royal skills.
The Milky Way transformed into thousands of King-making skills, all sweeping upward.
Two forces collided in the sky, sending shockwaves across the land and flattening one-third of the city’s buildings. Countless blood-eyed creatures were turned into blood-soaked mud by the residual force of the impact.
The black blade shattered, and the skills of becoming a king, numbering in the tens of thousands, also exploded.
The two sides were tied.
But Lu Yu was faster in his movements.
A dragon’s breath surged forth, and once again, rays of starlight pierced through the black blade, striking the king in the sky.
Bang!
This king was shaken and flew backward, blood splattering all around him!
“What?”
Countless bloodshot-eyed warriors on the ground widened their eyes in astonishment and cried out in shock.
Is this the King without a Crown? Even the King has been wounded!
