Chapter 826: Refining the Self into a Weapon

News, real big news.

One-third of the shops were suddenly empty.

Everyone stumbled and ran out in a panic, not caring about their own disheveled appearances, and hurried back to their respective organizations.

Lu Yu wasn’t just mad—he was furious.

Two star artifacts for a king’s life—just how provoked must Lu Yu have been by these people.

The news spread even faster than when Lu Yu was ambushed.

Within half an hour, the news had spread throughout all the major factions and powerful forces.

Boom.

In an instant, countless powerful figures soared into the sky from various cities.

The bounty for a single life was worth two star artifacts, and no one could remain calm anymore.

As Lu Yu said.

Perhaps a single star artifact won’t be enough to captivate some people’s hearts.

However, the two star artifacts are different.

People from all the major military forces and organizations have been mobilized.

The celestial organization even resorted to its precognitive abilities and located the King, who was hiding within a small organization, on the very first day.

Although the king fled.

But this only excited more people.

As long as one can be found, the rest can definitely be located.

Two star artifacts for a piece of King’s Crystal—this kind of deal seems profitable no matter how you look at it.

Some organizations have even launched joint operations with Digital King.

Organizations like the U.S. and Huaxia militaries can deploy dozens, even nearly a hundred Kings at once.

Lu Yu’s bounty this time was ruthless enough to make many kings feel their scalps tingling.

If this bounty were placed on their heads, could they escape?

Not only did all the powerful individuals around the world take action, but many warriors at Fanggang also sprang into motion.

Luo Haotian and others, along with their Beast King puppets, also stepped out of the defense port and began searching across the land.

There was no peaceful city at this time, let alone a peaceful nation.

Constant news was spreading in all directions.

“A king’s shadow was discovered on a small island in the Pacific Ocean.”

“Someone saw John among the ruins at the edge of England…”

The U.S. military has tracked down the trace of a king and is now making every effort to eliminate him.

Every powerful individual was exerting their utmost effort to search.

Some even witnessed Sky Rupture King and Star Soul King leaving from a pile of ruins, joining the ranks of the pursuers.

The core areas of Fanggang.

Lu Yu and Kun stood together, facing one hundred small bottles placed before the two of them.

Each of these small bottles was filled with sparkling blood, and mysterious energy was undulating within.

Wang Blood——

Lu Yu did not get what he wanted from the British military.

However, in the Chinese and American military circles, they obtained what they desired.

A hundred kinds of royal blood.

Kun rubbed his hands together excitedly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Lu Yu’s heart raced, even more excited than Kun.

The ten geniuses of the One-Eyed Clan were somewhat frustrated.

A hundred kinds of royal blood.

Kun trembled as he spoke: “A hundred kinds of royal blood… I can’t believe I’m actually witnessing a hundred kinds of royal blood at once.”

Lu Yu said, “Kun, do you really think that the Hundred Varieties of King’s Blood is the ultimate limit of the King’s Blood Star Artifact?”

“No one knows whether a hundred kinds of royal blood is the limit. Even if it’s not the limit, it’s still a record that has been set. A hundred kinds of royal blood – this is not something just anyone can collect.” Kun took a breath and said, “Lu Yu, are you really determined to refine your own body into a star artifact?”

Kun said this without taking his eyes off Lu Yu’s face.

You have to know that what Lu Yu did was simply crazy.

Once failed, no one knows what consequences may follow!

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said, “No matter what, I’ve already refined my body into a half-star artifact, so I’m just one final step away now.”

“But a half-star artifact is completely different from a star artifact,” Kun said seriously. “If the materials used for a star artifact aren’t perfectly fused, it could destroy you.”

Lu Yu said in a deep voice: “I’m going all out on this one. If I fail, I’ll self-destruct and use up this life. I also have a puppet decoy.”

Kun said solemnly, “Once it begins, you won’t have a chance to regret it.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been ready for a long time,” Lu Yu replied with a nod.

“Have you selected the main material for the star instrument?” Kun asked.

“It’s decided,” Lu Yu nodded. “I’m going to use black blood essence.”

“Hiss!” Kun inhaled sharply through his teeth, saying, “You’re determined to transform yourself completely into a weapon!”

Kun was very serious.

Or perhaps it was that he had never met anyone as crazy as Lu Yu before.

“That’s right. I’m determined to become a weapon completely,” Lu Yu laughed. “Even if I fail, I still have a chance to be reborn. Why wouldn’t I give it a try? Even if I fail, I can leave behind my experience, and eventually, someone will succeed.”

Kun heard this and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, “Well said. If we don’t succeed, there will always be others who will try again.”

“Come on!”

Lu Yu took out the Black Blood Essence along with a large pile of starmetal materials.

Kun said seriously, “I’ll ask you one last time: once we start, there’s no turning back. Are you sure you want to continue?”

“Come on, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time,” Lu Yu said with a smile, showing no sign of nervousness at all.

Kun nodded and said, “Okay, let’s begin.”

Lu Yu sat down cross-legged.

Boom…

Kun took action. This time, more than just a single beam of starlight descended from the sky.

There are a total of fifty Kun puppets in Fanggang.

Kun now has fifty puppets in use, plus himself.

It might be a bit challenging for Kun to distract and control fifty puppets at the same time.

But now, with fifty puppets all doing the same thing, this kind of control becomes much easier.

Fifty-one beams of starlight, fifty enormous stars drawing closer to the earth.

Boom… Boom…

The sky trembled, and in that moment, many people almost believed the apocalypse had arrived.

All fifty-one beams of starlight fell entirely into the core domain.

Within the starlight, the immense power of the stars cascaded down like the Milky Way itself pouring from the heavens, transforming into a dazzling, boundless river of light that flowed from the sky to the earth.

Lu Yu took a deep breath—

Bang!

A burst of flames erupted inside his body.

These flames did not transform him into a fire giant, but instead burned his body and even his bones.

His muscles melted away bit by bit in the flames, and his bones became translucent.

At this moment, Kun, together with fifty puppets, employed the art of refining weapons, transforming all the star-ore materials like black blood essence into liquid form.

Then, Kun, together with fifty puppets, began using flames to refine the materials for the star artifacts.

What was originally done by one person is now being done simultaneously by fifty-one people, and the speed is more than fifty times faster.

The refining process, which originally took several hours to complete, now took less than ten minutes.

However, Lu Yu had not yet been completely melted; his blood and bones intertwined in the air, and one-tenth of his body had already transformed into a pool of crimson liquid.

This is using flames to burn oneself.

The ten geniuses of the One-Eyed Clan were all deeply moved, holding Lu Yu in sincere admiration.

How many people can melt themselves with their own flames?

It would be presumptuous to claim there will be no one like him in the future, but certainly there has never been anyone like him before.

Lu Yu dares to act this way because he possesses the power of the Fire God’s Wrath.

He transformed into a body of flames, yet still retained his consciousness. Lu Yu had considered this possibility for a long time and had experimented with it on numerous occasions.

In the end, he transformed his consciousness into flames, yet his physical body remained.

In Lu Yu’s view, consciousness should be equivalent to the soul.

He successfully separated his soul from his physical body, making it possible to refine his own body.

Although the soul and the body are separated, the pain of burning oneself will never change.

That force was not enough to destroy the soul, yet it still made him feel a pain as if his body were being torn apart.

Kun was waiting for the final dissolution of Lu Yu’s physical form, while simultaneously beginning to continuously refine the materials for the star artifacts.

Again and again, once more and once more.

The impurities in the Black Blood Essence and the Star Core materials have been completely eliminated, leaving not the slightest trace.

The sky had already turned into a pale dawn light, yet the brilliance of the stars above Fanggang still shone undimmed.

The brilliance of the fifty-one beams of starlight overshadowed the sunlight.

The star-summoning technique was not disrupted by daylight, which Kun had not anticipated.

But this is also a good thing.

In this way, the refining process will not be disturbed at all.

The sky shifted from white to dark, and the night in Fanggang remained densely covered with stars.

At this moment, the people from the First Domain had all retreated to the edge of their domain, too frightened to speak loudly.

What was happening in the core area filled them with fear and dread, as if a devil were crawling out of hell.

Satellite monitors were instantly aimed at the center of the anomaly the moment the beam of starlight touched down at the harbor.

Everyone who witnessed all this was greatly alarmed.

Because they had already guessed what Lu Yu was doing?

Lu Yu was collecting King’s Blood for the King’s Blood Star Artifact, which was something everyone knew.

But now they feel that all the madmen in the world combined are not as crazy as Lu Yu.

Several elderly men from Huaxia trembled as they spoke: “He’s gone mad, truly mad.”

A British military officer slumped into a chair and said, “He’s really not human; he’s actually trying to forge himself into a stellar artifact?”

U.S. military personnel were equally shocked, staring at the monitors while pulling their hair in disbelief, saying, “If he succeeds, he himself will become a star artifact. Once he attacks, it will be equivalent to a strike from a star artifact.”

Boom… Boom…

Lu Yu’s body had completely turned into blood.

Then the star instrument material began to fuse.

Hum.

The moment the two masses of liquid collided, the heavens and earth trembled.

This is something no one has ever dared to do before.

A mysterious and vast power was generated the moment the two liquids came into contact.

“What is going on here?” Kun had never encountered such a situation before.

Before Kun could take control, the blood water and the star artifact materials were already attracting each other and rapidly fusing together.

The process was too fast; by the time Kun could blink, the merging had already been completed.

“The first drop of blood!” Kun, seeing that the blood and the star artifact had no repulsion toward each other, gritted his teeth and picked up a small bottle, letting a single drop of blood fall into the liquid suspended in midair.

Vroom!

This time, the bloody water surged, and a king’s威force shot out from within, suppressing and defending the harbor.

Kun remained calm. He focused his mind, shutting out everything around him and concentrating solely on the refining process.

The art of forging soldiers and the technique of drawing stars were activated simultaneously, fifty-one pairs of hands working together to control the royal blood, as the bloodwater gradually seeped and dissolved bit by bit.

One cannot control a person by focusing on the slightest details.

However, the combined power of the fifty-one individuals controlled the melting of the royal blood and blood water to an incredibly precise degree, down to the finest details.

The royal blood was gradually merging, and the royal might, which had initially been extremely powerful, began to weaken bit by bit.

It took Kun ten hours to fully integrate a single drop of Wang blood.

If it were in the past, this process would only take about ten minutes.

But now the matter at hand involves a human life, and potentially the future of hundreds of thousands of people in Fanggang.

This allowed no room for error on his part.

After completing the fusion of this drop of royal blood, Kun then added the second drop of blood.

Boom!

Wang Wei reappears, and bloodlight blooms.

Boom!

Beyond the city of Fanggang, thousands of false kings and more than thirty masked kings appeared in the sky.

As soon as they made their move, they unleashed their most powerful force.

More than thirty masked kings even activated the third ability of the King’s Skill.

They are afraid, afraid of everything Lu Yu is doing right now!
