The roar of countless King-level beasts filled the air as a prison of void engulfed Lu Yu and Jian Long.
Hum.
Before the cage was completely closed, Lu Yu fought his way out, though he was covered in blood with multiple wounds deep enough to expose the bone.
The stegosaurus was also mostly destroyed, with its dragon body incomplete.
This great battle is enough to turn the world upside down.
The King in the black mist felt the threat and stopped retreating.
Lu Yu fought his way out, followed by the Devouring Heaven King, the Immortal King, and others.
In the darkness, Lu Yu’s power greatly increased, which in turn multiplied his combat strength several times. Coupled with the Demon King Transformation, both his toxicity and offensive capabilities have now been pushed to their limits.
Xue Ji single-handedly blocked the path of four thousand false kings and a hundred thousand divine servants, yet still showed no sign of being at a disadvantage.
This mysterious king, whose power was so formidable that even the Heaven-Swallowing King and others feared him, was not even recorded in historical accounts.
Fighting from dusk till dawn, Lu Yu and the others were exhausted after the battle.
As soon as dawn broke, Lu Yu could no longer use the Star-Calling Art.
The power of the Fire Dragon, Jianlong, and the Dark Dragon was also declining.
The black mist surged back rapidly, forcing Lu Yu and the others back into their domain.
The great battle turned into a war of attrition.
During the day, the black fog suppressed the harbor.
As soon as night fell, Lu Yu and others launched an immediate counterattack.
The great battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the black mist gradually became thinner.
Among them, the aura of Wang Zun level also decreased.
This was completely a battle of attrition. By the time the sun rose on the fourth day, the number of King-level presences within the black mist had fallen below one hundred million.
Heaven Swallowing King roared excitedly, “Destroy it!”
Never heard of any king capable of destroying the core within the black mist.
But now they have the opportunity.
Now they have the opportunity.
The kings have taken action, and Lu Yu has also emerged from his domain to join the battle.
Zhou Dahai and others roared in anger, wanting to rush to the Black Mist’s aid, but upon seeing the figure standing in the void, their faces turned pale.
Now, out of the original one hundred thousand soldiers, fewer than thirty thousand remain, and nearly five hundred puppet kings have perished.
And all of this was stopped by none other than Yukki herself.
She is more terrifying than the Deathless King, more horrifying than ten kings combined.
“Stay where you are and don’t attack. I won’t kill you. But if anyone lays a hand on me, I will show no mercy.”
After saying these words, Yukki turned around and stepped toward the black mist.
The warriors in the city cheered; some had already fought their way out of the city to support Lu Yu and the others.
“Haha, we won. We defeated the Darkness.”
“There’s no need to die, there’s no need to die.”
“Who said the apocalypse tide couldn’t be overcome? We made it through—completely unscathed.”
The Reborn King stood on the city wall and shouted loudly, “Shut up! What are you happy about? This is merely a mass of black mist; the real terror has yet to come.”
The warriors in the city were cheering, but they all froze at the loud roar of the Reincarnation King.
What, what is going on? Is this still not the end?
They had clearly already suppressed the black mist; wasn’t this the arrival of darkness?
Zhou Dahai and others stood rooted to the spot, truly too afraid to move.
By now, they truly felt that this city was somewhat eerie and terrifying.
But within the dark mist are beasts at the level of a trillion kings.
However, now the number of Qianyi beasts has been reduced from hundreds of billions to less than one hundred million, yet the city remains completely undamaged.
Is this city really that hard to destroy?
The beast roars within the dark mist were suppressed at this moment.
Dozens of Kings, along with Star Artifacts, even hundreds of millions of King-level experts would still be powerless.
The black mist continued to shrink, and the wolf king within it kept howling, beginning to charge outward from within the mist.
However, with the combined efforts of over a dozen kings, the Wolf King was merely one king and was ultimately suppressed.
Suddenly, a piercing, skyward roar echoed through Fanggang City.
Wang Wei erupted, golden light enveloping the city, casting a faint golden glow upon everyone.
“Haha.”
The Golden King soared into the sky, finally returning to his throne. The frustration accumulated over countless years was released in this single, prolonged roar.
Fanggang has gained another king, while the Wolf King is now under increased pressure.
With the Wolf King letting out a howl filled with不甘心 (reluctance/resentment), the last remnants of the black mist dissipated.
The black wolf was staggering, bleeding profusely from its entire body, with a very weak regenerative capacity.
The current Black Wolf King has already reached his limit and is severely injured.
“I’ll deliver the final blow,” Lu Yu stopped the others from attacking, then punched the black wolf right on its crown.
The wolf king let out a mournful howl, and as it fell to the ground, its body exploded, spattering wolf blood everywhere.
Lu Yu stepped forward without hesitation to collect them, accumulating more than 300 drops in total.
Moreover, this strike could be considered as him killing a king, which means he can finally complete that damned task.
Inside the wolf’s belly, a gemstone the size of a cat’s eye suddenly exploded outward and fell to the ground.
No one moved.
This is something that burst out from a King-level life form; it’s extraordinary and not to be taken lightly.
If someone were to try to grab it at this moment, it might be dangerous.
Xue Ji looked calmly at the crystal and said, “Everyone, this crystal can allow a person to become a king directly. When the core beast king within the black mist dies, it will drop such a crystal. It contains the complete king-making skill of the beast king, as well as its transformation ability. However, a king cannot utilize it. Only those who have not yet become a king—and are not at the King Sage level—can use it. So there’s no need for everyone to fight over it.”
“What?”
Everyone looked at Yukki together, even more astonished.
Only by defeating the Core Beast King within the black mist can one obtain the crystal it drops. I suspect no one knows its attributes.
Yuki-hime knows the attributes.
Had she destroyed such black mist before?
If that’s really the case, then what kind of secret is Snow Princess hiding, and just how big could it be?
The Heaven-Devouring King said, “If that’s the case, then let Lu Yu take it. His current strength is formidable, yet he is not a king. If he were to become a king, this black mist would be utterly incapable of suppressing him.”
The Storm King nodded and said, “That’s right. I have no objection to this item belonging to Lu Yu. However, let us also take a look at the attributes within the crystal to understand them.”
No one had any objections.
However, such an item is worth a fortune.
The relationship between Xue Ji and Lu Yu is not ordinary, and they are also somewhat worried that this matter may not be exactly as Xue Ji described.
In the end, Lu Yu picked up the item. After glancing at its attributes with his demonic eye, he tossed it to the Storm King and said, “The Snow Region King was right—it can indeed allow someone to ascend to kingship. It’s truly priceless!”
Everyone took the crystal and glanced at it. The markings were exactly as Xue Ji had described. This item was completely useless to kings and those of the royal rank.
The more they experienced this, the more they felt that Xueji was terrifying.
This mysterious woman has shattered the black mist, or she has descended through the darkness.
The Heaven-Devouring King said, “Return to the city, everyone. Hurry and rest while you can. They should be arriving soon.”
Lu Yu asked, “What’s going to happen?”
The Storm King said coldly, “Darkness descends!”
“Isn’t that enough?” Lu Yu asked in surprise upon hearing this.
“This is just the beginning. It took us four days to destroy a cluster of black mist, which I hadn’t anticipated. But this was merely black mist, not the true arrival of darkness. The real descent of darkness is infinitely more terrifying than this.”
Lu Yu didn’t dare to be careless. After finding nothing else around the Wolf King, he quickly followed the group to prepare to return to the city.
At this moment, the horizon was already echoing with the roars of beasts. Three masses of black mist were surging toward the harbor from three different directions, moving with incredible speed, like lightning and sparks.
“Go!” the Storm King didn’t hesitate any longer. In an instant, he transformed into a violent whirlwind, sweeping up Lu Yu and the others and carrying them all into the city.
Meanwhile, three clusters of black mist had already gathered not far from Fanggang, merging into a massive black sphere with a diameter of three thousand zhang, heading straight toward Fanggang.
The warriors on the city wall saw it.
Only then did they realize the meaning of King Zai’s words. In fact, they had merely destroyed a cluster of black mist, which was truly insignificant.
Three clumps of black mist have arrived; could more be far behind?
The moment Lu Yu and others entered the city, the black mist also collided with the domain light shield.
With just one impact, a crack appeared on the city wall, and the power of the black mist continued to grow exponentially.
However, just at that moment, a cold and emotionless voice suddenly echoed from the sky once again.
…
“Congratulations, brave warriors! You have successfully defeated the Mist of Death. From now on, the teleportation ability is unlocked worldwide.”
…
Upon hearing the news, the crowd was both astonished and thrilled, raising their fists in enthusiastic celebration.
With teleportation abilities, their chances of escaping and maneuvering would greatly increase, while the likelihood of being surrounded and killed by the black mist would significantly decrease.
At this moment, the cold voice resounded again: “All guardians, the ultimate mode of War Mode has been activated. Each of you can obtain a more powerful King within War Mode to fight for you. Please fight to your heart’s content, striving to survive the apocalypse tide.”
“What? Does this mean even kings can be resurrected directly now?”
Everyone looked at Lu Yu in great surprise.
Lu Yu had already opened the interface for War Mode when the voice mentioned it. The section originally dimmed under the “King” category suddenly lit up, revealing its true form.
Not only are the titles of the kings described in detail, but the abilities of each king are also thoroughly elaborated.
Lu Yu simply took a glance and said, “It’s not that easy to revive someone. Reviving each King requires a complete set of star artifacts, as well as five hundred trillion star spirit stones and an equal number of star spirit pearls.”
When this number reached everyone’s ears, the expressions of anticipation on their faces vanished.
If a king could be resurrected, their combat strength would be greatly enhanced.
But with this price, I’m afraid even if all the money in Fanggang were gathered together, it might only be enough to resurrect one person at most.
Lu Yu knew in his heart that he was truly out of money.
During his successful suppression of the Deathless King, he looted all his enemies, but ended up using all the money to create domain guardians.
Now, I don’t even have enough star spirit stones to cover a single trillion.
“Huh,” Lu Yu saw an interface and laughed heartily, “Great, just great. Because I killed the Wolf King, and was the first person worldwide to defeat a Beast King within the Death Mist, I’ve been given a chance to revive. The War Mode allows me to resurrect a group of people without spending any money. Is it limited to just reviving those who died in this era? That’s good enough.”
Lu Yu is now carrying the lives of more than 47,000 people on his back.
These are all the warriors who died in the first and core areas of Fanggang.
Now he had the chance to bring these people back to life, and it wouldn’t cost him a penny.
Everyone returned to the city.
Lu Yu immediately found Liu Xing and began selecting names.
More than 40,000 names; selecting one does take time.
Lu Yu spent a day and a night to select and resurrect more than 47,000 people all at once.
On this day, two more black mists arrived at Fanggang, merging with the original three, forming a colossal black mass five thousand zhang in diameter, covering a vast area of the sky, as if darkness had truly descended upon the land.
