Chapter 783: Conditions

Lu Yu ordered the puppet to return as soon as possible.

The puppet is outside the domain, and not far from it, so it will return quickly.

Just as the puppet was about to leave the battlefield, the Undying King in the sky became enraged.

He is the king, high above all.

Now he was actually blocked by a group of weak little beasts.

The King of Immortality let out a fierce roar, his murderous aura piercing the heavens.

Boom—

Black smoke rose from his entire body.

By now, he had already ignored Lu Yu’s commands, unleashing a massive tidal wave of poison.

Over one hundred thousand beasts were struck by the toxic waves of the Undead King, continuously shrieking and wailing in agony.

The area of the toxic wave had shrunk; the hundreds-of-zhang-wide toxic wave now covered only half its original expanse. It should have swept forward and cleared a path ahead, but it only managed to open half the way before losing its power.

“Damn it!”

The Immortal King cursed, such restrictions made it impossible for him to fight freely and joyfully.

But even so, the power of the poison has not diminished at all.

Large beasts turned into black liquid droplets falling to the ground amidst the toxic gas. Any beast that was touched by the black liquid also cried out in agony.

The number of wild beasts poisoned to death is not merely one hundred thousand—it has long since surpassed two hundred thousand.

As soon as the dark water hit the ground, it immediately seeped into the earth and vanished without a trace.

The King of the Undead flew into a rage, sending waves of poison sweeping outward, followed by fiery dragons rising from his armor and charging into the beast horde.

Hundreds of thousands of beasts around him turned to ashes and black water fell to the ground.

As the King of Immortality took a step forward, more beasts were rushing toward him from behind the toxic waves and the fire dragon.

These beasts have no fear or awareness at all; their eyes seem to hold only the intent to kill living beings.

The King of Immortality was blocked once again, having barely taken two steps forward.

“Die for me!” the Immortal King roared furiously, his voice wave sweeping across the sky like thunder, spreading in all directions.

His roar was truly earth-shattering.

The void shattered in fragments, and even the earth could not help but tremble slightly.

All life within a thousand zhang around the Immortal King was turned into blood sludge, falling towards the ground.

Above the great dragon’s battle bones, tens of thousands of warriors from the Yi Ren clan exploded into a crimson rain.

However, this dragon was desperately blocking the Deathless King’s forward charge.

A king named Wang Zun roared atop the dragon’s head, his eyes filled with fierce battle spirit. He shouted loudly, “The gods have commanded us to protect the crystal, and with it, we shall be resurrected! We are immortal and fear nothing!”

“Get out of my way, you insignificant ant!” The Undead King shouted, striking with a single palm through the air, the force of which sent the dragon flying.

This giant dragon has also been suppressed and shrunken in size within this world.

The body that was originally millions of zhang long is now less than one hundred thousand zhang in length.

However, this is still three hundred thousand meters long; even if it were entirely made of bones, it would be unimaginably massive.

When the King of Immortality struck his palm against the dragon bone, it was as if he had struck a single leaf.

The massive dragon bone flew dozens of miles away.

However, it was the sudden obstruction of the Dragon Bone that stopped the Undead King’s advance. Once again, hundreds of thousands of beasts surrounded the Undead King.

“Damn it!”

The King of Immortality roared in rage, unleashing both venom and flames, yet still could not break through the path.

The warriors within the city saw hope in the cheers from just now.

However, seeing the Undying King in such a state, all their hopes seemed to be shattered.

Someone lost all hope, knelt on the ground with trembling knees, and sobbed, “Even this won’t work? This is the King, after all.”

“No way, absolutely impossible! Is the god really going to destroy this world? If even the king cannot pass through the battlefield, what can we possibly do!”

They suddenly remembered that the first wave of the apocalypse was the arrival of darkness.

And the descent of darkness was once a battlefield where even kings were slain.

Some people think this is fake.

And now that they’ve seen it with their own eyes, how could they still not believe?

It’s still just the Black Rain stage; the Black Tide hasn’t even begun yet. If the Undead King is already trapped, do they still have a chance?

The King of Immortality was unwilling, yet powerless to do anything about it.

He began to retreat. At a moment like this, if he got trapped, it would be very difficult to break free.

Boom!

A British major general grabbed a desperate soldier and slapped him hard, saying, “Snap out of it. If you’re already feeling hopeless, how do you expect to survive? Don’t forget, the city hasn’t fallen yet, and you’re still alive. If you don’t want to die, then get your act together and prepare for battle.”

Some leaders directly kicked the desperate warriors into the air, roaring angrily, “Snap out of it, all of you! If you don’t want to die, then raise your weapons and fight! If you refuse to battle, I’ll kill you right now and distribute your belongings to those who can fight.”

“My organization doesn’t need someone like you who lacks fighting spirit. If you don’t want to live, then die for me right now!”

At this moment, a leader in the city punched each of the desperate warriors one by one.

Now is not the time for despair; this is just the beginning.

The field remains unbroken, the barrier still stands.

Moreover, the military forces at Fanggang cannot possibly be limited to just these.

Someone who has been planning for decades, solely to prepare for the end-time tide, could there possibly be only what we see now?

Don’t forget, it wasn’t until the beginning of the End Times tide that Fanggang saw its second king.

Moreover, before this, this Wang Lian had not shown the slightest sign of existence.

Probably no one could have guessed that the second king was also in Fanggang!

These leaders really went all out to kill.

If you can’t wake him up, it means he’s truly dead!

Hundreds of people cried out to God and all the deities in the heavens for salvation, but their leader was thrown directly into the beastly horde and torn to pieces instead.

Is it still effective to pray to the gods at this moment?

If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself.

Nowadays, no one can afford to let such pessimism spread.

The war has only just begun. If we lose hope now, we will lose this war.

The puppet has returned, bringing back 3,000 king-level corpses for Lu Yu.

This is enough for him to enter the Celestial Being System three times.

Liu Xing hurried over at this moment and said, “Mr. Lu, the British brigadier general, along with representatives from the Chinese military and the Celestial Deity Organization, are here to see you. They hope to discuss something with you.”

“What is it that you need to see me for at this time?” Lu Yu frowned and said, “I told you I’m not available right now.”

Liu Xing said earnestly, “Mr. Lu, the casualties across all regions have already exceeded a thousand. The major organizations hope that you could supply some weapons, preferably star artifacts. Otherwise, even without facing the Black Tide, their forces could suffer ten thousand deaths. They believe the chances of surviving the darkness are extremely slim!”

Lu Yu frowned as he spoke.

These guys seized upon his weaknesses.

He just wanted to hold onto this city, developing it for so many years at all costs, and everyone could see that.

It’s not really a threat to say that it can’t be held at this time.

Lu Yu could see it too; at this rate, holding the city would be difficult.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Wait for me at the shop in the First District. I need to take care of something here first, and I’ll come right away.”

“Understood.” Liu Xing immediately ran outside.

Don’t think that because the apocalypse tide has begun, the functions of shops will become useless.

However, casualty reports and enemy force statistics from various regions kept pouring in to him like snowflakes, making him even busier than before.

Those military talents that Fangang has been recruiting all along were prepared for this very moment.

Logistics, battlefield analysis, and the balance of power are constantly shifting.

If any problem occurs, Liu Xing has the authority to mobilize the defenders of Fangang to reinforce other areas, and also has control over the domain guards and fire people in the first domain.

After Liu Xing left the core area, Lu Yu took the puppet and entered his own room.

Thousands of royal corpses, along with a large amount of star spirit stones and star spirit pearls.

The celestial god system struck again.

“Only one option?” Lu Yu frowned immediately.

This time, the only option before him was the physical enhancement skill.

However, this item is also a fragment and not a complete skill!

“Shards or not, since I’m already in, there’s no reason to leave empty-handed.” Lu Yu felt reluctant but had no choice but to grit his teeth.

What he needs now is skills.

All my own skills have been sealed; the only power I can still use is destruction.

Reinforced Steel Bones: This is a significantly noticeable ability for physical evolution. Fragment obtained: 1. Only by collecting all fragments can one acquire this ability.

One thousand royal bones were exchanged for a single fragment.

After exiting the Celestial Deity System, Lu Yu immediately invested in various supplies once again.

“What does this mean?” Lu Yu was instantly taken aback.

This time, when he entered, there were no skills or items available for him to choose.

What lay before him was actually a task.

Task: Slay ten thousand Wang Zun. You may unlock one sealed ability within your body and have a certain chance to enhance the unsealed ability.

“Damn it, you’re the one who sealed my abilities, and now you’re making me waste time to break free,” Lu Yu shouted in rage.

Well, since I’m already here, I have to take on the mission.

Even though it was a complaint, at the very least he now had the opportunity to unlock a new ability.

Lu Yu logged out and then re-entered the system.

“Good heavens, three thousand royal saint bodies! It took a king six days to collect them successfully. And you’re just playing with me like this?”

Lu Yu really wanted to drag that so-called god out and give him a good beating to vent his anger.

Let’s not even discuss whether this system is controlled by a deity or not.

But could one’s luck really be this bad three times in a row?

Obtain one hundred Blue Star Souls.

Three thousand royal corpses were exchanged for one hundred Blue Star Souls.

Lu Yu gave all of these to Wang Ling.

Wang Ling still had about ten thousand Blue Planet Souls in hand and was still refining the Evolution Serum.

Although the apocalypse tide has begun.

However, some things are still useful.

The evolutionary liquid can still enhance the strength of domain guardians and serve other purposes as well.

Thirty thousand royal corpses, along with three trillion star spirits stones and a large number of star spirit pearls, were simply gone.

Lu Yu was unwilling but could do nothing about it.

When he arrived at the shop in the first area, there were more than ten people here, including Poplar and a British military major general.

When these people saw Lu Yu arriving, they all stood up.

Bai Yang didn’t want to waste time and said seriously, “Mr. Lu, I think Liu Xing has already conveyed our intentions to you. What do you think?”

The British major general nodded solemnly as well and said, “Mr. Lu, you’ve spent quite a long time among the herds, and you should clearly understand the changes in these herds over the past few days. However, people like us struggle to resist the coming of darkness, let alone destroy the beast crystals. If Mr. Lu is willing to provide stardust artifacts, I think destroying the beast crystals might still be possible.”

Lu Yu glanced at the crowd.

Everyone knows he possesses the Star-Calling Art and the Art of Forging Weapons, making the creation of stellar artifacts effortless for him.

It’s just that in the past, no one had the qualifications or the financial means to commission Lu Yu to craft star artifacts.

But now it’s different.

Everyone was also very much looking forward to Lu Yu’s agreement.

Lu Yu saw that Bai Yang and the others looked exhausted, with some covered in blood and their clothes torn, having no time to change.

No one can take it easy now; even these leaders have to go out and fight desperately.

Moreover, Lu Yu was well aware of the hardships of war. After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “I can help you forge the star artifacts. But you must also agree to one condition!”

“What conditions?”

Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up, and they looked at Lu Yu with excitement and anticipation.

If the star artifacts were in their hands, their pressure would be greatly reduced.

They would agree to ten conditions, let alone just one.
