Lu Yu meant business.
He had spent decades preparing, and if he couldn’t even survive the Descent of Darkness, all his preparations would have been in vain.
We must persevere, at the very least until there are five or more kings within this city.
Lu Yu couldn’t afford to wait any longer.
His words greatly inspired Liu Xing’s spirit.
“I understand. Mr. Lu, I’ll go right away.” Liu Xing jumped up and left quickly.
Liu Xing realized that this time, Lu Yu wasn’t merely planning to take a risk—he was determined to deploy all of Fangang’s combat power to eliminate every beast nest in the surrounding area.
After Liu Xing sent the message to all major regions, the leaders of every region were equally shocked.
“Lu Yu is about to take action.”
“That’s great, I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.”
“Recall all the elite forces.”
The leaders of each region were equally inspired and quickly issued orders as well.
In this city now, the three strongest individuals are Lu Yu and the two Kings. If they don’t take action, anyone else who moves will meet their death.
Several months ago, six warriors who possessed the rudimentary skills of becoming a king were unable to go very far even when holding star artifacts; that was an example.
Now that Lu Yu is willing to take action, does it mean he also realizes the seriousness of the situation?
Destroying the beast crystals is also the urgent task they must carry out now.
The tide of beasts outside the city was already beyond their ability to resist.
No one can step out of the domain; they can only stay within it and attack using their skills.
If they couldn’t destroy the beast crystal, they would be trapped here forever.
Six warriors who can use star artifacts have arrived.
The first area quickly gathered more than ten thousand people.
One hundred and three warriors who have mastered the initial form of the King’s skill, and six Kings who have reached the breakthrough stage.
On the Fanggang side, there was Lu Yu, the Undying King, and the puppet.
Lu Yu looked around at the people, and the people were also looking at him.
Everyone’s expression was extremely solemn!
Everyone knew that this time, when they took action, they might be the one to die.
The elder from Huaxia came in person.
Because he had already received intelligence that a major city in Huaxia had been destroyed.
If they can’t destroy the beast crystal, then there won’t be any hope for the other cities either.
In the end, will there really be nothing left but this single city?
He also received the news that fine cracks had begun to appear on the walls of the second domain of the city.
If the problem isn’t resolved now, when darkness falls, this city might not be able to withstand it either.
“Lu Yu, how confident are you?” The elderly man asked bluntly upon seeing Lu Yu.
“Sixty percent confidence,” Lu Yu said seriously. “This time, I need everyone’s cooperation. If we succeed, we can at least clear away the sinkholes around Fangang.”
“You mean all ten of the giant sinkholes can be cleared away?” the British major general exclaimed in astonishment.
Moreover, Lu Yu’s answer surprised everyone.
They should know that since the third day after all ten heavenly pits were fully opened, they could barely move a thousand meters away from their territory, let alone go destroy a heavenly pit located nearly ten kilometers away from the city.
Bai Yang said excitedly, “Six points? That’s enough.”
A Wang Zun said solemnly, “Lu Yu, please tell us how you need us to cooperate. Among us here, your strength is second to none, rivaling the two Wangs. Moreover, you are the city lord of this city. As long as you are confident, just give the order.”
Another person also said, “That’s right; you gave the order directly, and the worst possible outcome is merely death. In fact, when the apocalypse tide first began, I had already resolved to fight with the determination to die.”
The man’s words resonated with many people around him.
The city has fallen, and they will surely die as well.
So why not just stop worrying about death and give it everything I’ve got?
Lu Yu said, “This time we don’t need too many people, but they must have strong defensive capabilities. Because…”
Lu Yu briefly described the situation he and the Undead King encountered when they headed to the sinkhole.
All the warriors around fell silent, their faces turning pale with shock and disbelief.
When there were still two kilometers left to approach the heavenly pit, a wild beast actually began its transformation into a king.
Bai Yang swallowed hard and said, “In other words, we have to take action ourselves. Either we can withstand the King’s attacks, or we must possess special offensive techniques to counterattack him directly!”
This is a terrible piece of news, leaving countless people shocked and helpless.
Who else here can challenge King Wang in battle!
The Immortal King nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right. The others are manageable; the real trouble is the King. If we can’t withstand the King’s attack, we won’t be able to buy time for our companions to destroy the beast crystal. Therefore, whoever takes action this time must at least be able to survive a single strike from the King and hold him off. Otherwise, sending others would simply be sending them to their deaths!”
An elder of the Xia Dynasty said, “The defense of the Yaoyue Star Soul should be able to withstand an attack from a King. As for the Blood-crying Star Soul, as long as there is blood, it can重生无限次. Moreover, the Blood-crying Star Soul also has special means to store blood, so it should be able to hold back a King.”
Lu Yu looked at Lou Xiaoyu, the one with the strongest defensive power among the nine mutated star souls.
The Wang Zun-level Yaoyue Star Soul is a power capable of blocking attacks from even a Nine Heavens Star Artifact. Moreover, breaking through to the ninth-level Star Soul, Yaoyue not only possesses formidable defensive strength, but its offensive power is equally unmatched compared to other Star Souls.
When he looked at the Blood-Weeping Star Soul again, it still had blood-red hair and eyes, with crimson skin.
He stood motionless on the spot, holding a star artifact, neither speaking nor moving.
The star artifact created by Lu Yu for the Huaxia military is now in the hands of the inheritor of the Blood-Soaked Star Soul. Moreover, this inheritor has already developed an initial form of the King-Making skill.
Bai Yang said seriously, “If our Celestial Deity Organization’s Blazing Star Soul and Chaotic Star Soul were to unleash their full power, we should have the strength for a battle. However, the duration wouldn’t be long; supporting for a few minutes would be enough.”
A representative of the U.S. military said solemnly, “Not counting the Blood-Tear Star Soul, the other five Star Artifacts must definitely be brought along. Even in the worst case, the combined power of the five should be enough to hold back a King-level opponent for a short period of time.”
“No, their strength isn’t enough,” Lu Yu shook his head seriously. “Besides the mutated Star Soul, the Star Artifact must be controlled by a King who has reached the breakthrough stage. I must ensure the Star Artifact can unleash its maximum power.”
After thinking for a moment, the leaders of all parties nodded together.
“I agree with that. This is not the time to be envious or stingy. If we can’t destroy the beast crystal, none of us will survive.”
Everyone also knew that this was not the time for division. They did not trust others with the Star Artifact.
But now the stakes are high. If the beast crystal isn’t destroyed, once the city falls, everything will be in vain.
All parties no longer held back and began nominating their strongest warriors.
It was finally decided that the four mutated star souls—Yaoyue, Qixue, Hun Dun, and Liehuo—would go together.
Lou Xiaoyu will step in to provide full defense when Lu Yu can no longer hold on, ensuring the safety of the warriors on her side.
Moreover, the Immortal King, along with his puppet, Lu Yu, and five other Kings who had reached the breakthrough stage, obtained the Star Artifacts.
A total of fourteen people were finally confirmed for the operation, which could be said to be the strongest fighting force in the city.
At this moment, having many people isn’t helpful.
Lu Yu needs to ensure that all these people are capable of fighting.
When the fourteen individuals reached the edge of the domain, they immediately drew the gaze of countless warriors.
A total of eight star artifacts were exceptionally dazzling.
The most striking sight was the Monarch of Immortality and the puppet each wielding a stellar artifact.
Several months ago, even with the combined efforts of Lu Yu and the Undying King, they failed to get close to the Beast Crystal.
This time, it’s not just two people, but two kings who are about to take action.
It is important that all eight of the current Star Artifacts in Fanggang City have now gathered together.
“Heavens, the four mutated star souls—Radiant Moon, Blood-tearing, Chaos, and Blazing Flame—are all gathered here.”
“Damn it, you idiot, it’s the Five Great Mutated Star Souls, and Lu Yu is there too, he’s the one with the Killing Star Soul.”
“It’s over. This time, it’s definitely over.”
Someone burst into疯狂 laughter and said, “Haha, this time the most elite fighting forces from Fanggang are all gathered together. Eight starseekers, two Kings, and terrifying warriors like Lu Yu. We’re definitely going to win this time.”
Everyone wore faces full of anticipation.
These are two kings, you know. If they still fail, they’ll really have no chance left.
Beyond the domain, outside the protective veil, grotesque faces of wild beasts pressed together, their writhing bodies devouring the veil like locusts.
The current humans are completely suppressed within the domain light shield, and no one can get out anymore.
In the city, people felt as if they were facing the real apocalypse, becoming food trapped within a city.
A few individuals, when exerting their utmost effort, can sustain themselves outside their domain for an hour—that would be their absolute limit.
Like kings who have reached the breakthrough stage, they can activate their king skills, which can last for about three to four hours.
However, after all, there was no King among them; among these beasts, there were thousands upon thousands of monarch-level creatures. Even within the endless hordes of beasts, they too were suppressed.
Lu Yu took out eleven sets of armor and handed them one by one to Lou Xiaoyu and the others. He said earnestly, “This armor is a gift for you. Although it won’t last very long among the beast herds, it can at least help block attacks for a certain period of time.”
The armor from Fanggang is famous indeed.
Nowadays, the finest armor in the world all originates from here.
When Lu Yu took out the armor, even the kings who had reached the breakthrough stage were moved.
When the eleven people approached the armor to check its attributes, they couldn’t help but look up at Lu Yu in unison, their expressions filled with shock.
A king exclaimed in shock, “A million layers of defense!”
When the blood-descendant received the armor, he could no longer remain calm.
“If it were a normal time, I would definitely sell it to you. However, now is not the right time to sell to you. With a million-grade defense, when facing a king, one repair should be able to withstand one attack.”
As a king put on his armor, he said solemnly, “Lu Yu, you’re even willing to bring out armor like this. It seems this time you’re really ready to fight with all you’ve got!”
The Blood-Weeping Inheritor said coldly, “Enough, everyone. There’s no need to waste time anymore. Lu Yu, you’ll lead this operation, so go ahead and give the orders.”
“I’m not going to stop until the beast crystal is destroyed,” Lu Yu said coldly, raising his hand. “For the first eight thousand meters, none of you need to take action. The key isn’t in the first eight thousand meters—it’s the beast crystal that matters most. So, until I give the order, you should just conserve your strength and prepare yourselves.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This operation is of critical importance. If the coordination is not done properly, they may never return.
After all, beyond the 8,500 meters, there is a king.
Lu Yu looked toward the Undead King, who gave a slight nod in return.
When Lu Yu looked at Lou Xiaoyu again, he found that Lou Xiaoyu was also looking at him.
Lou Xiaoyu noticed Lu Yu looking at him, and his face immediately flushed red. He quickly turned his head away to look elsewhere.
Lu Yu asked, “Miss Lou, your Yaoyue Star Soul should now be able to withstand a blow from the King, am I right?”
