The flames shattered the black mist with their fiery glow, as thousands of beastly roars erupted from within the mist, only to be reduced to ashes in the blaze.
People on the city walls could see the black mist condense into a dark spear, piercing the fire giant with countless wounds.
But as long as the Fire Giant remains, it is immortal.
One by one, the flaming giants reached their huge hands into the black mist, pulling out clumps of fog. The flames consumed the mist, within which echoed the anguished howls and shrieks of beasts.
Boom, boom…
The black mist surged toward the high-level guard, with the power of the Billion King seemingly transforming into a grinding mill, threatening to crush the guard into oblivion.
The grating sound of teeth gnashing against steel rang out in the black mist, as dense as rain.
Many warriors standing on the city wall, upon hearing this sound, felt as if thousands of insects were gnawing at their brains.
Some of the weaker individuals immediately began bleeding from their ears, their eardrums shattered by the force of the sound.
However, within these black mists, beasts were also emitting even more agonized cries.
Large patches of black mist began to transform into black water and fall to the ground.
Moreover, all the black mist that was touched by the black water let out howling screams.
It’s like an epidemic, poison spreading, flames burning.
The body of the high-ranking guard was incredibly tough; even with so many beasts gnawing at it, not a single mark was left behind.
The black mist had a life of its own; some of it was attacking the guardians and fire beings, while large swaths continued to assault the domain.
“Roar.”
The beast is howling.
“Haha.”
Zhou Dahai and others were also laughing loudly.
“Lu Yu, your city is finished. Face our divine servants and the descent of darkness—come out and kneel on the ground, begging for mercy, and I might spare you.”
“Those who don’t want to die, come out. I might spare your lives if you surrender.”
The false kings laughed maniacally while also attacking the domain.
On the city wall of the second realm, numerous cracks began to appear.
In just a few hours, the damage exceeded 3%, which was higher than the damage caused by the Beast Tide’s months-long assault.
Lu Yu stood on the city wall, feeling extremely cold.
Although countless warriors were launching skill-based attacks across the domain.
However, their attack was not effective at all.
Tian Wang and others also rushed over. Five Kings, along with eight star weapons, and ten armored Kings whose identities could not be discerned were also launching attacks.
However, aside from Xue Ji’s Kingmaking Skill, which can blast away the black mist, none of the other Kingmaking Skills can even disperse a third of it.
“Lu Yu, is this really the only way we can wear them down?” King Reborn stood on the city wall, clenching his teeth as he asked.
He still falls a bit short. If he were to reclaim the throne, he could certainly add some strength to the city’s forces.
But now Wang Zun’s role in this battle has become insignificant.
There are 150,000 Wang Zuns in the city, which is a large number.
However, when the black mist arrives, even the King of Billions cannot compare, let alone be a hundred or thousand times more powerful.
The Reborn King said, “The only way to break through the darkness is to defeat the King within the black mist. However, to confront the King, one must charge into the black mist. Yet, once one enters the black mist, no one has ever survived to come out.”
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said, “Then we’ll outlast them—exhaust every beast until they’re all dead, and then kill the king. Your Highness, you don’t need to join the battle now. Strive to reclaim your throne as soon as possible.”
“Okay.” Reborn King nodded and leaped off the city wall, entering the core area.
Excluding the Deathless King and the puppets, there are ten puppet kings remaining. Currently, there are a total of seventeen kings within the city. Heaven-Devouring King, Storm King, and Snow Princess have already reclaimed their thrones. The remaining fourteen kings are all stuck at the critical point, just short of their final breakthrough.
Now, Ren Jia Wang and others deeply understand the dangers of this city. They no longer show themselves but instead focus on cultivating and improving their skills.
Lu Yu leapt down from the city wall. Inside the light barrier, he could clearly see the dark mist outside repeatedly surging against it.
Each impact of the black mist was like countless beasts within it opening their blood-dripping mouths in unison to tear at the glowing shield.
Boom!
Blue flames rose from Lu Yu’s body as he activated his Demon King Transformation.
“Roar.”
The demon’s nest unfolded, and more than a hundred powerful dragon demons crossed the barrier, rushed out of their domain, and charged toward the black mist.
The dark mist tore apart the black dragon, yet new black dragons were being born.
A large amount of black mist was also torn into pieces by the dragon.
The venom of the Poison Dragon, the blazing radiance of the Three-Eyed Dragon King like a scorching sun, and the fiery toxicity of the Fire Dragon capable of melting the earth.
All the dragon kings, fearless and unafraid, charged straight into the black mist.
This is merely a soulless and powerless life born from the Demon Nest; all its strength is merely imprinted within the Demon Nest itself.
As soon as these more than a hundred Dark Dragons were torn apart, new Dark Dragons were immediately born from the Demon Nest, replenishing their numbers.
The blizzard rose again as Xue Ji stood in the void. The mighty winds and snow surged outward, forming a domain that froze the massive amount of black mist.
…
Each blizzard causes hundreds of attacks. The lives targeted by the blizzard are not limited by defense power or any armor; each attack directly inflicts damage of ten thousand Juns on the health points. The strongest blizzard will deliver ten thousand strikes.
…
This is the attribute that Lu Yu knows.
But now, this is the attack that the real king is using, and it will only be more powerful.
The snow-white stars in the sky reappeared, as if ready to destroy the earth once again.
“Roar.”
The shadow of the black wolf reappeared, its howl shattering the void.
“Roar.”
The black mist came to a halt, transforming into a colossal black spear, a thousand zhang long, carrying with it the roars of billions of wild beasts as it surged toward the stars.
“This—”
The Heaven-Devouring King and other monarchs had never witnessed such a sight before.
The fact that a cluster of black mist can launch a coordinated attack with billions of beasts at the same time indicates the threat this star poses to the black mist.
The Storm King and others were equally astonished, thinking to themselves, “I’ve never heard of any king whose attack could reach such a level. She is truly terrifying.”
When the first star was hurled toward the earth by Xue Ji, the kings already sensed the power of this woman.
Looking back now, this woman’s strength was not just something they felt.
Even the black mist could feel it!
The roar of the billion beasts shook the star that was about to fall, causing cracks to appear on its surface.
“Amazing! Even the power of a handred billions of Kings cannot shatter this star,” said the King of Swallowing Heaven and others, visibly moved.
If hit by such power, there’s a high chance their King-making abilities would be shattered.
After the roar, the black mist transformed into a dark spear and collided with the stars.
In an instant, the world lost its color. The stars in the sky shattered into countless pieces, turning into a flurry of white snowflakes that eventually vanished into nothingness.
At the same time, the black mist that had condensed into a thousand-foot-long black spear was completely shattered.
The warriors in the city were greatly alarmed.
A black wolf in the center of the dark mist had a wound split open at the center of its forehead.
Blood was dripping from the black wolf’s forehead, and a single drop of vivid red stood out so strikingly in the eyes of everyone present.
“What? That’s impossible!” Storm King exclaimed in shock.
“Who exactly is she? Such immense power, shattering the strike of a Billion King in one blow, even injuring the core Wolf King.” Tian Wang and others could hardly believe it.
The Black Gun, which had gathered the power of a thousand billion kings, was shattered by a single star that already had cracks in it.
Moreover, the power of the stars also injured one of the core kings.
This is the king’s skill to become the king!
This is the power of King!
This is too terrifying.
At this moment, twenty thousand elite guards and fifty thousand fire warriors surged forward together toward the black wolf.
Taking advantage of the moment when the black wolf was injured, Lu Yu wanted to defeat this wolf king in one fell swoop and destroy the black mist.
“Au.”
The black wolf roared, filled with anger and a murderous aura.
The howling sound transformed into shockwaves, sending two hundred thousand elite guards flying backward, while five hundred thousand fire beings turned into a sky full of blazing lights.
The scattered black mist began to coalesce once more.
The people within the city dared not even send their king out of the city gates, turning it into a war of attrition.
Zhou Dahai and others attacked outside the city, and their laughter grew louder and louder.
Seven hours, and the damage to the city wall exceeded five percent.
Lu Yu quickly used the restoration crystal to repair the city wall.
The cracked city wall healed once again, and the warriors inside the city erupted into cheers.
As long as the city remains unbreached, they will maintain their fighting spirit.
Drainage, this is a war of attrition.
At the moment night fell, Lu Yu resolutely activated the Star-Calling Art. A massive star cast down thick beams of starlight, enveloping Lu Yu within.
Boom—boom—boom—
Lu Yu’s blood and energy boiled within him, and in that instant, his power surged from a million zuns to three million zuns.
A group of dragons roared furiously, and the fire man was also growling; the power of all the defensive towers in this city was increasing.
A millionfold increase in power is already sufficient to suppress tens of thousands of Wang Zuns. Now, with a threefold enhancement in strength, combined with the boosted powers of the Demon Nest and the Fire Humans, the overall might has grown significantly.
In an instant, the black mist was pierced with hundreds of thousands of holes.
The sky was ablaze with flames and poisonous fire.
The light of the Eight Bings Star Artifacts, combined with the kings’ royal skills, caused the black mist to actually retreat.
“What’s going on here?” The city’s warriors had never seen anything like this before.
This is the living creature in the dark mist, now filled with fear.
It’s not just Lu Yu whose power has increased in the darkness. The strength of tens of thousands of warriors has simultaneously risen to three million zuns, a force that surpasses the black mist.
With the king and the Star Vessel, the black mist is in fear.
Xue Ji stood in midair, her body enveloped by a blizzard, mysterious and powerful.
Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at Lu Yu, wondering what he was thinking.
The kings were equally astonished, as they had never imagined that the black mist would retreat upon seeing it.
The only one still conscious within the dark mist was the core.
But the core is a King. Now the black mist is retreating, indicating that the force defending the harbor at night is a power even the King fears.
The beast kept roaring, trying to drive the fiery figure in the mist away.
As their power increases, the Fire Warriors’ destructive capability also grows.
Meanwhile, the poison from twenty thousand elite guards was also corroding the black mist in large quantities.
Countless lives were lost on the first day of the war.
Lu Yu roared furiously and surprisingly stepped out of his domain.
Zhou Dahai and the other false kings saw it and suddenly gave the order: “Get rid of him.”
One hundred thousand soldiers turned around.
One by one, they charged toward Lu Yu with murderous glares in their eyes.
Boom.
Yuki turned around and took one step forward, positioning herself in front of Zhou Dahai and the others.
The wind and snow intensified, a mighty storm arose, engulfing all one hundred thousand divine servants.
The storm transformed into thousands of attacks in an instant. When the King wielded them, they were far more terrifying than when Lu Yu used them.
Two-thirds of the one hundred thousand soldiers were engulfed by the blizzard, and in an instant, they were shredded into pieces by the knife-like winds.
Four thousand false kings were mired in a quagmire, the power of the storm was terrifying, slicing three thousand false kings into countless pieces of flesh scattered across the sky.
Boom.
Stars rained down once more, a celestial body with a diameter of ten thousand zhang exploding amidst wind and snow, obliterating one hundred thousand soldiers and the false king in an instant.
Half of the warriors didn’t have strong regeneration abilities and were instantly killed.
The blizzard howled, highlighting the mysterious and powerful presence of Xue Ji.
The face beneath the golden mask was also highly anticipated by everyone.
The hearts of the kings were filled with awe and terror.
Even the Undying King narrowed his eyes at the sight of Xue Ji’s retreating figure and murmured, “Who is she? She seems familiar, as if I’ve heard of her before.”
Yuki is too powerful.
The ten kings merely managed to block the four thousand false kings.
And now, Yukiko alone has managed to block all four thousand pseudo-kings and one hundred thousand warriors by herself.
Four thousand false kings were reborn, yet each one had a pale face.
This isn’t a battle between opponents of the same level at all.
On the other side, Lu Yu was surrounded by endless radiant light, with ten thousand blades of slaughter, each emitting a semi-stellar glow.
Lu Yu, however, was not satisfied. Clenching his fists, his eyes filled with ferocity, he suddenly swung both arms with great force.
Hum.
Ten thousand blades of slaughter erupted, and countless flashes of cold light transformed once more in the air.
Boom… Boom…
Ten billion blades of slaughter formed a ten-thousand-zhang-long dragon sword that surged toward the black mist.
“Au.”
In the dark mist, the Black Wolf King sensed a threat and let out a furious roar.
The retreating black mist surged back, nearly engulfing the sword dragon in an instant.
