The beast roars outside the city could be heard all the way to the First Domain, and the sound was very loud.
However, the British major general and the others could not listen carefully at the moment; they only cared about Lu Yu’s terms.
To them, the value of a Star Artifact might not be able to demonstrate its power at the moment when it cannot be activated.
However, as long as someone becomes the king, the star artifact in that person’s hands is worth more than the combined power of ten thousand kings.
That kind of power is exactly what they need.
Bai Yang said, “Mr. Lu, please tell me, what conditions do you want?”
Lu Yu looked at everyone and said, “After your people become kings, I will need royal blood. Remember, it must be genuine royal blood! No less than one hundred drops of each type of royal blood.”
The old man from Huaxia frowned and said, “This—, are you saying the Star Artifact Association will refine it for us for free?”
“That’s right,” Lu Yu nodded. “You provide the materials, and I can help you forge star artifacts for free. However, if anyone under your command ascends to kingship, you must supply me with one hundred drops of royal blood per king—remember, one hundred drops for each king, not a total of one hundred drops.”
Bai Yang also pondered for a moment before saying, “Mr. Lu, are you trading the present for the future?”
Lu Yu’s expression turned serious as he said, “Don’t say that I’m tampering with the future. I’m also using the King’s Blood to create star artifacts. I believe you’ve all heard of the King’s Blood star artifacts before.”
Some nodded, while others looked utterly confused.
However, after a brief explanation from those nearby, those who didn’t understand began to look astonished one by one.
Wang Xue Xing Qi, this is truly a top-tier masterpiece among Xing Qi.
Lu Yu had long been capable of crafting star artifacts but had never taken action, not because he feared wasting resources, but because his goal had always been the absolute top-tier weapons, rather than ordinary star artifacts.
An elder of the Huaxia clan exclaimed in shock, “The star-ore you’ve collected is enough to forge at least three thousand star artifacts. Are you planning to create three thousand King’s Blood star artifacts?”
“That’s my concern now. Please give me the materials, and I can start production immediately,” Lu Yu replied. “The more royal blood star weapons I can forge, the stronger the city’s defenses will become. Consequently, our chances of surviving the apocalypse tide will increase significantly. Therefore, you will benefit from this as well.”
“Okay. We’ll go prepare right away.”
Everyone quickly left. Lu Yu was right; right now, it doesn’t matter who is stronger. The most important thing is to survive the apocalypse tide.
Moreover, they can obtain complete star artifacts!
A complete Star Artifact! This isn’t a damaged one or just fragments—it’s a truly intact Star Artifact.
Within less than an hour, everyone had returned.
There are six sets of materials in total.
Lu Yu brought these materials into the core area.
Lu Yu currently couldn’t use any of his abilities; crafting star artifacts could only be accomplished by Zao Kun and the genius of the One-Eyed Tribe.
If you’re talking about forging seven sets of star artifacts, producing one per month would be considered quite good.
After delivering the materials, Lu Yu returned to the battlefield.
The herds were endless, and the war showed no sign of ever ceasing.
All the warriors, except for some rear personnel, had no spare time to waste except for rest.
The King of Immortality was held back by the Strange People Clan.
It was a race that claimed to be capable of killing kings, and no one really knew how many warriors they had.
Anyway, the warrior of the异人族 keeps entering this world through the mirror door.
The puppet was also blocked, and the warnings of repeated injuries were transmitted into Lu Yu’s mind.
Although these are just minor injuries, they are only the beginning.
Lu Yu’s body had already become a half-Star Artifact, and due to his evolution, he had reached a level of power capable of shaking the lives of ten thousand revered beings to the point of death.
Ordinary beasts would find it hard to harm him.
However, facing the mutated beasts in the black rain, their attacks could tear away even his flesh and blood.
We must hold this city; even if we get injured, we cannot stop.
Everyone is getting hurt.
This is the end of the world, where the number of beasts is so overwhelming that it fills people with despair.
Every day is death, every day is war.
No one bothers to keep track of time anymore.
No one cares about time anymore, except to know when to rest and remember the sunrise and sunset.
In one month, Lu Yu killed a thousand Wang Zuns.
This is his current limit.
Without being able to restore his full strength, he certainly didn’t possess the power to instantly kill these Wang Zun experts.
The Void Prison can devour these King Zun beings.
However, he still needed the bodies of these kings and could not use the Void Prison Cage to devour them.
It was precisely under such circumstances that the speed of the slaughter slowed down a bit.
The first star artifact is ready.
A British soldier, who possessed a preliminary form of the “King-Making Skill,” charged into the enemy ranks wielding a star-forged weapon. He had already gained the ability to activate part of the weapon’s formidable power.
However, compared to Wang, he still had a long way to go.
At most, it could withstand about ten King-level experts.
…
In the third month, the black rain did not cease, and the land had already been submerged under half a foot of thick black mist.
The beasts within these black mists move faster and possess greater strength.
More terrifying was the fact that Wang Zun’s power was also increasing.
Even Lu Yu’s Void Prison could no longer contain them.
Three star artifacts have joined the war, already slaying countless beasts.
Every warrior wielding a Star Artifact can resist the combined assault of at least ten King-level beasts simultaneously.
…
By the fourth month, Lu Yu had become numb to it all.
He had slain fewer than two thousand Wang Zuns.
The beast’s power increased in the black rain, first reaching the level of Ten Thousand Sovereigns, and then advancing to the rank of King Sovereign.
Some special beasts first undergo mutations, then become kings or begin to possess the aura of kingship.
…
In the sixth month, the six Star Artifacts had already been crafted.
Six people wielding star artifacts joined forces, attempting to move toward the giant sinkhole.
However, they were forced to return before even managing to walk a kilometer.
It took them half a month to cover this kilometer. As for retreating, they were almost completely drained of strength.
In the end, it was still Lu Yu and the puppet who worked together to bring them back.
Otherwise, all six of them would have to die among the beasts.
Now they finally realized how strong Lu Yu was. He had come all the way here alone, and it would only take him a few days to retreat back.
“This is the Dark Descent that even a King couldn’t survive,” said a warrior holding a star-forged weapon. As soon as he returned, he collapsed onto the ground, his voice trembling: “Even two Kings wouldn’t make it through.”
“Yeah, at the very least, it would take four Kings plus possibly a Star Artifact as well to even have a chance.”
“That’s terrible. This kind of apocalypse is purely for killing people; they never intended to let us pass through at all.”
They rested, discussed things, and then parted ways to return to their respective areas.
The person who used to be full of confidence, whom everyone believed would one day become a king, now seems to have merely been speaking nonsense when he claimed he could easily survive the apocalypse.
…
The last day of the sixth month marked the end of the first half-year since the beginning of the Doomsday Tide.
People only had the city before them and the towering herds of beasts beyond the mountains outside the city, with absolutely no knowledge of the situations in other cities.
A voice from the sky resounded once again: “The mission system is now activated. Each warrior can obtain tasks suited to their abilities within the mission system, allowing them to enhance their strength and also exchange for various items to improve their survival capabilities.”
A cold voice echoed in the sky above Fanggang.
At first, everyone was taken aback, but soon after, they burst into cheers.
They have already seen the mission system.
You can receive rewards for slaying a certain number of beasts, collecting a specific number of Star Spirit Pearls, or achieving a particular level of strength.
People suddenly felt that they still had hope.
Lu Yu also returned to Fanggang.
He needs to rest at this time.
He still had a long way to go to complete his mission.
Lu Yu closed the task system.
Different levels allow you to take on different tasks.
For example, he is now Wang Zun, and the tasks he receives are at Wang Zun’s level; he cannot receive lower-level tasks, nor higher-level ones.
Lu Yu opened the task list, which contained a total of two tasks.
…
One task is to exchange ten thousand king’s bodies for a single drop of true royal blood. Whose royal blood it is, is completely random.
…
When Lu Yu saw this task, his eyes couldn’t help but light up with excitement.
A single drop of true royal blood would be of great use to him.
He can create king-level puppets and also use them to forge star artifacts.
…
Another task—defeat a hundred King-level experts, enhancing the Hundred King’s attack power, physique, and vitality. If one’s attributes reach their maximum limit, these attributes can be transformed into evolution energy, which can be used to evolve one’s body.
…
“Great mission,” Lu Yu laughed heartily, punching the air with a heavy swing.
This kind of task was practically made for him.
Lu Yu accepted these two tasks without hesitation and then started to rest.
And during this brief period of rest, everyone in the city was undertaking various tasks.
Some require materials, others require abilities.
Once the conditions are met, generous rewards can be obtained.
When Lu Yu got up again after his half-hour rest, more than a thousand Wang Zuns had already arrived in the city.
Moreover, dozens of people directly attained the Hundred Refinements Demonic Body from the mission, gaining the opportunity to become kings.
A single individual from the Han military received a special mission, gaining the opportunity to directly elevate a skill to the nascent stage of a King’s skill.
He rose from an ordinary soldier to become a key candidate for development.
Lu Yu went berserk after hearing that.
It is said that the man’s mission is to collect one hundred million Star Spirits.
With beasts roaming everywhere, each one dropping a cluster of gems upon death, an army of a hundred million Star Spirits could easily be amassed by slaying just a few thousand beasts possessed with the power of ten thousand zuns.
That was way too easy.
“No, I need to work harder too. If things continue like this, these guys might surpass me just by completing missions.”
Lu Yu took three days to kill a hundred Wang Zun.
His strength increased by a hundredfold, and then the mission system refreshed two new tasks for him.
Killing two hundred King Revereds enhances the attributes of a Thousand Revered.
Another one is to kill a Zun who possesses the power of thousands of ten-thousands of cultivators, and obtain a Semi-Star Artifact.
Lu Yu, upon seeing the task to kill Wang Zun and the reward offered, speculated that both the task and the reward were actually randomly assigned.
It takes killing a hundred King Revereds to obtain the Hundred Revered Attributes.
Now, killing two hundred enemies will grant you the attributes of a thousand尊.
The tasks generated by this task system are also random, it’s completely up to your luck.
Such a task was merely a matter of time for Lu Yu.
Lu Yu completed two tasks in seven days.
He directly gave the Half-Star Device to Liu Xing, to be used by the soldiers in Fanggang.
The increase in the strength of a thousand warriors is very important to Lu Yu.
This time, another task popped up in front of Lu Yu’s eyes. Although there was only one, it was displayed in yellow characters.
“Special mission?” Lu Yu’s heart stirred, and he immediately clicked to open the mission details for a closer look.
…
Mission – Kill one million beasts and five thousand Wang Zuns at the fastest speed possible, and you will receive a reward. The amount of the reward will be determined by the speed at which you complete the kills.
Timer starts——
