Chapter 864: Ultimate Evolution

Lu Yu has become king.

This is definitely not good news for many people.

Yanluowang was closest to Fanggang. When he felt the royal aura emanating from the Toxic Dragon’s illusion, his expression involuntarily turned grim as he fixed his gaze upon the phantom.

At this moment, in Fanggang, many soldiers were also astonished.

If Lu Yu becomes king, combined with the power of the Dragon King and the Star Artifact, he would truly be invincible.

“Isn’t it said that a king without a crown cannot become a king? Why is this happening?”

“It happened too suddenly, too suddenly. There wasn’t the slightest omen of Lu Yu becoming king.”

Some are happy, while others are worried.

Pairs of eyes gazed at the figure in the air, their expressions incredibly complex.

At the same time, many people immediately left Fanggang.

This news is definitely sensational enough.

Lu Yu has become the king.

In other words, Lu Yu has now already reached the pinnacle of power in this world based solely on his own strength.

Those who had not yet left the city and were still waiting for an opportunity were all greatly alarmed.

They no longer cared about hiding their figures, and one by one, they leaped into the air. They looked at the poisonous dragon’s illusion and then carefully examined Lu Yu’s figure hovering in midair.

Yama, the King of Hell, arrived as well, standing no more than a mile away from Lu Yu.

His gaze was sharp as lightning, sweeping back and forth over Lu Yu’s body. His voice turned cold as he said, “No, your aura is far too weak compared to a king’s. You haven’t become a king yet.”

After saying this, King Yama slightly relaxed and felt a bit relieved.

If Lu Yu really became king.

He can perfectly activate the star artifact.

A fully activated star artifact is equivalent to a king’s strike.

If Lu Yu were to attack using those Dragon Stars as Star Artifacts, that would unleash the true power of tens of thousands of King Techniques.

It would be equivalent to the combined attack of tens of thousands of true kings, and even King Yama would not be confident enough to withstand it.

“What, he hasn’t become king yet?” Upon hearing this, many people around immediately felt relieved.

“You scared me. But what’s with those two stock kings?”

“It might be the aura from just having refined a star artifact, or perhaps a temporary enhancement from some ability improvement.”

Lu Yu became king, and they really don’t need to struggle anymore.

Now, the phantom of the poison dragon is gradually fading away.

The pair of steel eagle wings behind Lu Yu also vanished.

The royal aura around Lu Yu vanished, allowing people to accurately detect his presence.

Indeed, there is no aura of a king.

They just felt that Lu Yu’s strength had become even more mysterious and harder to perceive.

Lu Yu glanced at the King of Hell, then headed straight back to the core domain.

Ability is not meant for showing off, but for fighting.

He has ingested the Poison of the Eagle King, and what he gained is not merely a stronger poison, but rather another evolution of the Poison Dragon King.

Moreover, the power of the newly acquired Star Artifact can be tested directly in battle.

When he landed, Kun was staring at him in astonishment.

Because even after Lu Yu fully integrated the Wing of the Eagle King, no one could have anticipated that two completely different royal auras would emerge within him.

It wasn’t just Kun who was watching Lu Yu.

Yang Lie and a few other uncrowned kings in the city also rushed over.

Zi Yu looked at Lu Yu in surprise and said, “Mr. Lu, what exactly is going on here?”

Yang Lie was shocked and anxiously asked, “Mr. Lu, just now the aura of a king that I sensed—what exactly was it? You wouldn’t really become a king, would you? You must be hiding your true identity!”

“Mr. Lu, even if you don’t become a king, your strength is already formidable enough. Why are you in such a hurry to become a king?”

“You can’t really have become king, can you? There wasn’t even the slightest sign of it?”

A group of people gathered around Lu Yu, unreservedly asking him questions without any hesitation.

If it were someone else, such a question would never be asked.

Because in the eyes of others, such a question is considered taboo.

No one wants their abilities or strengths to be completely uncovered by others.

However, Lu Yu had no such concerns.

Lu Yu could answer his companions’ questions if possible, and if not, he wouldn’t get upset either.

Therefore, Yang Lie and others asked boldly.

Lu Yu smiled and said, “I haven’t become a king yet. What you saw earlier was merely a temporary display of my skills and the aura of my star artifact.”

Everyone suddenly understood and said, “So that’s how it is.”

It turned out to be just the powerful aura momentarily revealed by a skill.

It might be the aura released at the moment of completing the evolution, when his skills had reached the King level.

Kun frowned and said, “As far as I know, Mr. Lu, your Toxic Dragon’s power seems to have reached a stage where further evolution is extremely difficult. But just now, what exactly happened? Was the appearance of the Toxic Dragon’s illusion a sign of another evolution?”

Lu Yu nodded and said, “It’s true that the Poisonous Dragon is extremely difficult to evolve. However, as long as one possesses the appropriate ability, further evolution is still possible. The Eagle King’s Wings contain a venom no less potent than that of the Poisonous Dragon. By absorbing the Eagle King’s poison with the venom within my body, I not only gain a stronger poison but also achieve a form of evolution.”

“Is there a poison stronger than the venom of the Poisonous Dragon?”

Everyone deeply understood the extent of Lu Yu’s poison; it was a toxin capable of corroding even star-grade artifacts.

Such a poison actually has another poison that can rival it. How is that possible?

Lu Yu meticulously recounted everything he had seen and heard in the ruins, along with his deductions.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Lu Yu.

“Mr. Lu, if anything were to happen to you, your body or your abilities might very well become a trophy.”

Lu Yu looked up at the sky, his voice cold as he said, “That is, if they can kill me first.”

After discussing some matters regarding the ruins with Lu Yu, the group took their leave.

Ruins should never be entered easily, as it is extremely difficult to get out.

Moreover, the method mentioned by Lu Yu is not something that just anyone can use.

After Yang Lie and the others left, Kun examined Lu Yu’s body again to confirm that the final fusion with the King Eagle’s wing had been completed successfully.

Kun nodded slightly with a smile, looking very cheerful and happy.

Being able to come into contact with the crafting of so many stellar artifacts after his rebirth is also a valuable experience for him.

Moreover, being with Lu Yu, he was exposed to many secrets that no one else had ever had access to before.

For example, the true secret of the Kingless King, the refinement of the Royal Blood Star Artifact, and now the method of refining a part of the King’s body, such as the Eagle King’s Wing, into a star artifact—this is absolutely an experience no one else possesses.

Although he became King Zun and reached the pinnacle of power.

But he might possess the most experience in crafting star artifacts in this world.

Even if this world still fails to survive the apocalypse.

But for him, these abilities will be able to help others in his next resurrection.

One day, he would be able to use his own abilities and knowledge to help an era survive the apocalypse.

Lu Yu gave Kun the fifty-one Golden Stone Oceans of the 51st Division, along with fifty-one identical sets of stardust artifacts.

He also gave Kun the complete method for refining star artifacts that the Lord of Stone City had told him.

“This—”

Kun was surprised once again.

I never expected there to be such a method for refining a Star Artifact.

Lu Yu said, “Originally, I wanted to refine the main star artifact into the form of wings, but now it seems unnecessary. Please help me refine the main star artifact into a ring. I already have a sword and armor; all I need now is to control this set of star artifacts.”

“There’s no problem with that.” Kun rubbed his hands together, surprised that he had learned another method of refining star artifacts. He hadn’t expected Lu Yu to possess such a technique.

Moreover, now Lu Yu began to cultivate a large number of star artifacts, and Kun could gradually sense Lu Yu’s thoughts, which left him astonished.

Lu Yu explained in detail the refining method that the City Lord of Stone City had told him.

Kun replied solemnly, “Forging this set of star artifacts isn’t difficult. However, every single step of all fifty-one artifacts must be executed perfectly without any mistakes. I just finished forging the Eagle King’s Wings, and the effort drained me greatly. For safety’s sake, I will rest for a couple of days before starting the next one.”

Kun said goodbye to Lu Yu and walked into the core area building to prepare for rest.

Lu Yu watched as Kun left, then brought up his own skill interface to find the Poison Dragon King’s skill page.

The Poison Dragon King has evolved, and this time, there are some abilities from the evolution that Lu Yu hasn’t fully explained to Yang Lie and the others.

Even after his power evolved as the Poison Dragon King, he didn’t have much chance to take a closer look.

Now that everything had finally quieted down, he was able to bring up the Toxic Dragon King’s abilities and had time to examine them carefully.

Actually, examining a capability is also a way to understand one’s own abilities.

The application of capability, including the timing and manner of its use, plays a decisive role in determining the outcome of battle.

The part of the poison barrier that had evolved into toxic beings vanished.

The ability to poison the land has vanished.

For Lu Yu’s current capabilities, releasing toxic gas that spreads thousands of zhang is no less effective than poisoning the land itself.

Combined with the toxic barrier, its effect is only slightly inferior to that of poisoning the entire land.

The poison that once contaminated the land has vanished, yet its effect on poisoning humans has increased, and it has even evolved the ability of the Toxic Dragon King.

King of the Poisonous Dragons:

Grade: Unique (The strongest poison, unparalleled)

Explanation – Having absorbed the strongest poison from the King of Poisonous Eagles, the power of the Poison Dragon King has fully evolved to its ultimate state. Any weapon before you is merely a pile of scrap metal; even if a stellar artifact falls into your hands, it would take no more than ten breaths to dismantle it.

Poisoned Person — When a person is killed by the powerful venom of the mighty Poison Dragon King and completely decays into a pool of black liquid, a Poisoned Puppet will be reborn from the black liquid. The Poisoned Puppet possesses the strength of the fallen warrior in life, as well as the terrifying toxic power of the Poison Dragon King. Moreover, any warrior killed by a Poisoned Puppet can also undergo the same transformation, turning the deceased into another Poisoned Puppet.

Ultimate Evolution: King of Venomous Dragons — This is the true King of Venom, surpassing all poisons, unstoppable by anyone. Once a mighty venomous dragon, it has now become the power within your body; its soul and flesh have been devoured by you. However, the dragon’s ultimate power can still only be harnessed by the dragon itself. As you unleash your full body’s toxicity, the true venomous dragon will re-form, coalescing once again. Be aware, this is not an illusion, but the genuine King of Venom, a mighty dragon possessing royal-level strength.

Lu Yu watched as the Poison Dragon King’s power evolved once more, especially the final skill, which made him involuntarily gasp in amazement and feel an urge to burst into laughter.

The Poison Dragon King is truly the king.

Even the Xing vessel would be corroded within ten breaths; this speed was simply astonishing.

A毒 dragon possessing royal-level power.

Moreover, the ultimate evolution—does this mean that the Poison Dragon King’s power has reached its peak, with no possibility of further transcendence?

Lu Yu kept staring at the words “Ultimate Evolution,” feeling both excited and disappointed.

It can’t evolve any further, which means the Poison Dragon King’s toxicity has reached its limit.

However, the ultimate ability of the final evolution is to recondense the poison gas into a real venomous dragon.

“Does that mean I can take advantage of the Dragon Knight state to fuse with the Venom Dragon King?”
