The weather is changing too quickly.
All cities were becoming tense.
With one month remaining until the end of the world, in the sinkholes at the centers of cities where star spirit ore had been completely mined out, the roars of beasts grew more urgent and louder.
Tens of millions of streams of energy are rising from the sinkhole, each stream at least reaching the Ten-Thousand Sovereign level, and countless streams attaining the King Sovereign level.
These beasts seemed to be shattering the broken seal, constantly roaring and raging without cease.
Black gases spewed out from the skywell, transforming into dark clouds that enveloped the heavens and earth.
The kings who had died when darkness fell now seemed to recall the scenes of their deaths back then, and one by one, their expressions turned solemn.
Someone noticed cracks appearing in the void of certain areas, within which countless beasts lay sleeping in the massive fissures.
That’s the beast space; do you really want to unleash it completely?
Some people made such a guess.
These ferocious beasts are located right outside the city. Once these creatures awaken, what consequences will follow?
One month is too short.
…
Lu Yu stood before the dead puppet, holding a small bottle containing a single drop of blood—the true royal blood of the City Lord of Stone City.
Lu Yu frowned, muttering to himself, “If I were to resurrect a King using the abilities of a death puppet right now, would it trigger the apocalypse earlier?”
He had never done this before, fearing that it would completely reset the countdown of the End-Tide and trigger a catastrophe.
However, with only a month left until the apocalypse, even if it were to be triggered, it probably wouldn’t cause too much of a problem.
The King of Immortality has completed all the barriers.
Only the immortal sky requires a core, and all these cores are located within the core domain, which is impervious to external forces.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, deciding to wait until the very last moment.
Except for the seventh and eighth regions, the construction speed in the first six regions has been very significant during this period.
Each area probably has around ten thousand defensive towers, and above the city walls, there are also tens of thousands of warriors from various fields.
These field warriors, combined with the ten thousand white bone warriors, fifty thousand fire beings from the first domain, and seventy thousand domain guardians, formed a formidable force.
If so many people were stationed on the city wall, it would already be enough to defend a quarter of it, and the defensive capability was even sufficient in Lu Yu’s opinion.
Lu Yu finally confirmed it himself after several days.
The Doomsday Tide countdown has less than twenty-five days remaining.
At this point, the countdown had everyone’s nerves tightly wound; each passing day felt like an eternity.
Lu Yu felt that since he had already waited for decades, he could certainly wait for one more month.
He moved between cities during the day as usual, and practiced star-guiding techniques at night.
As for using the dead puppet, wait until the final day of the countdown to proceed.
All cities were busily preparing for defense.
They were unsure just how powerful the apocalypse tide would be, so they had no idea what level of defense would be sufficient. As a result, they could do nothing but keep reinforcing their defenses relentlessly.
…
Countdown to the Doomsday Tide: Twenty-Four Hours Remaining—
…
The heavens and earth of the planet have been reinforced and completed; ordinary attacks will no longer be able to harm the heavens and earth.
All warriors’ attack range will be compressed to half of the original, while their attack power remains unchanged.
…
Everyone received another instruction.
“Are you worried that war will destroy this planet?” Many people were speculating.
At this moment, Lu Yu finally dripped a drop of blood from the City Lord of Stone City onto the corpse puppet.
Streaks of white light emerged from the corpse puppet, coalescing into a human-shaped figure in the air.
“Final twenty-four hours!” Lu Yu sat cross-legged in front of the corpse puppet, closing his eyes to rest.
Over the past month, he has adjusted his condition to peak performance.
Time was passing away, second by second. Although the countdown was silent, it felt to everyone as if an ear-piercing sound were ringing in their ears.
The second sector of the Fanggang city wall was crowded with warriors.
Beyond the city walls, within the barrier of the domain, lay the final area where domain guardians could move freely.
Where all the Flame Guardians and Domain Guardians had already been lying in wait, fully prepared.
Final ten seconds!
Lu Yu closed his eyes; the horizon had already begun to turn a pale dawn white!
…
Final nine seconds—
The City Lord of Shicheng is already on the verge of taking form, possessing an aura that is indistinguishable from that of King Lian in the special domain.
…
Final three seconds—
The Lord of Stone City has been completely replicated successfully.
A single drop of Lu Yu’s blood fell onto the forehead of the City Lord puppet. The blood was extraordinarily vivid, forming intricate blood纹 that seeped into the forehead.
…
Suddenly, a shrill alarm rang out in everyone’s mind.
Within the crater of a volcano on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, the true royal majesty shook the heavens and the earth.
…
“The countdown to the End Tide has ended—”
“The first wave of the Doomsday Tide begins—”
“From now until the end of the first wave of the Doomsday Tide, the attack will not stop!”
“From now until the end of the first wave of the Doomsday Tide, the dead shall not be resurrected!”
…
The grating sound reverberated through the soul of everyone.
On the second section of the city wall at Fanggang, the hearts of all the warriors tightened with tension.
Boom!
This was a deafening explosion, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Outside Fanggang City, several areas of space had ruptured.
“Au!”
“Roar!”
Within the spatial rifts, endless roars of beasts surged like waves, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Many warriors saw into the beast realm through the cracks.
One by one, the beasts began to sway unsteadily as they stood up.
They stretched their bodies and opened their drowsy eyes.
They—awakened, countless millions!
The next second—
Crack—the space split open.
Innumerable beasts surged through the rift and descended upon the land.
In the blink of an eye, the ground rose up to form a mountain of beasts towering thousands of feet high!
From the crack in the sky, an endless stream of monstrous creatures continued to surge forth.
“Au.”
As soon as these beasts landed, their eyes flew open completely, each pair as red as blood, as if they were the starving eyes of countless millennia that had just awakened.
They caught the scent of humans and charged toward the defensive position.
There are a total of six ferocious beast spaces around Fanggang. Now, the beasts emerging from these six ferocious beast spaces are all rushing toward Fanggang.
No sooner had these beasts awakened than, within less than ten seconds, more than a million of them were surging toward Fangang.
This is the weakest beast, with each one not exceeding a hundred zuns.
Boom!
They crashed into the wall.
Vroom!
All the Domain Warriors and Flame Giants before the city wall stirred, releasing boundless and terrifying auras.
Millions of beasts had not even had time to let out a roar before they were all crushed into blood pulp by the pressure emitted from these guards.
Flesh and blood fell to the ground, the blood seeping into the earth, as if melting away and quickly vanishing into the land.
“Roar!”
The crack in the space outside the city, where the fierce beasts reside, has grown larger.
A crack stretching for ten thousand meters appeared, as if the sky itself had been torn apart.
In the span of a single breath, ten beast mountains, each a thousand zhang tall, descended upon the land.
These beasts have become stronger and more numerous.
The number of wild animals this time exceeded ten million.
Like the iron hooves of a thousand troops galloping across the earth, unable to shatter the ground, yet powerful enough to shake the heavens themselves.
At this time, the city of Fanggang was already surrounded by beasts outside its walls.
Thousands of wild beasts, densely packed, stretched from the horizon all the way to the walls of Fanggang.
Boom.
They are attacking the barrier of the domain.
One beast after another slammed into the shield, their heads splitting open and blood gushing out, their bones breaking and tendons tearing, yet they continued their relentless assault.
“Howl.”
The beasts in front were charging, and the beasts behind were also charging.
They had no minds of their own, and pairs of crimson eyes were all fixed on the people atop the city wall.
The Domain Guardians moved, the Flame Warriors advanced, even the Bone Warriors sprang into action, and even the defensive towers began launching attacks.
One after another, they pierced through the beasts’ bodies, exploding into countless sprays of blood and turning the wild animals into crimson pulp.
Under the immense power of countless Wangzun-level forces, not even a single second passed before millions of beasts were crushed.
But there are still millions of wild animals!
Within the six凶兽 spaces, there are endless beasts. The cracks resemble cascading rivers, with countless creatures surging out of the fissures and landing upon the earth.
In an instant, the ground was piled high with hundreds of millions of wild beasts.
And this was merely within thirty seconds of the ferocious beast’s space rift opening.
People were suffocating.
No one can take it easy in front of hundreds of millions of beasts.
Because all of this is just the beginning.
The beast roared furiously, charging recklessly against the defensive barrier of Fanggang.
The current beast’s power has already reached the level of a thousand尊 (zūn).
However, in the eyes of many people, such a beast is too weak.
In this way, they don’t even need to lift a finger, as those area guards and defense towers can handle the enemies on their own.
Someone burst into laughter and said, “So this is the apocalypse tide? It’s way too easy.”
Many people nodded in agreement, saying, “Talking about the first wave of the apocalypse tide—what a joke. This is all the strength they’ve got?”
A leader standing guard on the city wall barked loudly, “All of you, stay alert! The apocalypse tide has barely lasted thirty seconds—do you really think it’s over?”
Some experts shouted loudly, “Everyone, pick up your weapons and stay alert. If the barrier breaks, none of us will survive.”
Just as these people were shouting, a huge mirror gate suddenly appeared on a small hill dozens of kilometers outside Fanggang City.
This mirror gate is thousands of feet high and hundreds of feet wide, floating in midair and reflecting radiant light.
“Kill!”
From within the mirror gate, a voice echoed out, and a brutal, murderous aura pierced through the mirror gate.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of animal bones surged out from the mirror door.
Each beast bone has a warrior on it.
“Oh my God, the passage to the Demon Hunting Plains has really opened.”
“That’s the work of the Oddities and the Warbones.”
People cried out in alarm; no one dared to be arrogant anymore.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Each warrior’s aura is at least at the level of ten thousand emperors. As for the battle bones they ride upon, the weaker ones are at the emperor level, while the stronger ones reach the King Emperor realm, and some even possess a battle aura approaching that of a King.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of warrior cultivators appeared on the plain, riding atop battle bones.
An alien warrior raised his arm and shouted, “Humans, your doomsday has arrived. Destroying you is the will of the gods.”
Boom!
A terrifying aura descended from the sky, directly targeting the battlefield of the Yi Ren clan.
Massive cracks surged outward, forming a cage of void that instantly engulfed more than half of the warriors of the Yi Ren Clan.
“It’s Lu Yu!” someone shouted, naturally recognizing who the person was that had taken action.
Hum.
Suddenly, the ground outside Fanggang City cracked open, revealing a massive chasm nearly three thousand zhang in diameter.
“Roar.”
Thousands of powerful auras erupted from the abyss, each one at the Wang Zun level.
“Heavens! This… this is just the beginning?” people exclaimed in astonishment.
Because every monster that crawls out from the abyss is at least of the King Zun level, and they are nothing but strong.
As soon as these beasts emerged, they rushed toward the defense port.
“Buzz!”
The heavens and earth seemed to collapse.
In the core area of Fanggang, two royal auras emerged simultaneously.
These two auras directly stunned everyone present.
Fanggang only has one King, how can there be two King’s auras!
“Heaven! Could it be that the second king is also from Fanggang?” Someone thought to himself, and even he felt that this idea was a bit terrifying.
