City after city spreads the stench of blood; city after city rises with black smoke.
Once bustling cities have now turned into ruins.
It was not only due to Lu Yu’s quest for revenge, but also the result of power struggles among various factions.
The balance among the major powers is still being maintained.
Some minor powers and weaker nations either attach themselves to others or surrender!
The apocalypse tide had not yet arrived, but many people who had already experienced the cruelty and darkness at the end of the world once again felt that indescribable sensation that left them utterly speechless.
Especially in some countries, because they were attached to certain kings, and now these kings have disappeared, all these cities have been destroyed by Lu Yu.
Among the ruined city, someone emerged from the rubble, gazing at the destroyed city, feeling nothing but helplessness and despair.
They couldn’t blame anyone.
Some people were cursing, others were swearing, but none of it was any use.
The city sky still bore traces of blood that had not yet faded, and an eerie silence blanketed the city.
They chose the wrong person to follow, and when the enemy sought revenge, they were unable to withstand it.
Many people emerged from the ruins, took a look at the city where they once lived, and chose to leave.
More cruel than the arrival of the apocalypse, they knew it was the end of the world.
“Let’s go. I heard that the Nebula City in England can enhance our strength. There, our powers can be strengthened, and we won’t have to watch helplessly as our own city is destroyed.”
“I have decided to go to the United States. I heard that in America’s Steel City, not only can one become stronger, but one can also use steel to revive infinitely.”
“China is not bad either. Twenty major cities in China have also set up barriers. I heard that besides the Immortal Sky Curtain, there is also the Phantom Veil. I also heard that these cities are surrounded by a certain ability.”
“I’ll go to Fanggang and give it a try. I’m not qualified for the first realm, but I heard that the sixth area is still hiring. The minimum requirement is ten-thousand zun power, and I barely meet that.”
Upon the ruins, countless people departed, walking toward their own destinations.
These ruins began to grow desolate, the bloodstained scent in the sky started to dissipate, leaving only plumes of black smoke rising into the air.
…
The countdown to the end of the world has reached one year and two hours.
Warriors from various countries began to return to the cities, and the number of wild beasts in the wilderness started to decrease.
In some areas, the wild beasts that died were no longer being replenished.
“What kind of changes will there be?”
Many people were talking to themselves, not even knowing what kind of changes would occur.
…
One year and one hour remaining until the apocalypse tide.
The mines beneath the cities still in existence are collapsing, and deep within the chasms, the low, rumbling roars of beasts begin to emerge.
Various countries seemed to have been prepared in advance, starting to fill the area with massive amounts of spiritual star ore, and even placing countless metal blocks, formed by fusing numerous materials, on top as reinforcement.
…
One year and ten seconds remaining until the Doomsday Tide!
Cities around the world fell into silence; everyone held their breath, waiting.
Ten seconds felt like ten years, with every passing second tugging at the heartstrings.
Even the leaders from various countries couldn’t help but sit in their seats feeling nervous.
…
One year countdown to the end of the world — Let’s go!
Boom!
The clouds in the sky vanished instantly, and the night side turned into day.
The daytime side is clear and sunny with endless blue skies.
A cold voice echoed from the sky: “From this moment onward, all transmission arrays are closed, and all transmission abilities are unavailable! From now until the arrival of the apocalypse tide, no more beasts will appear. From now until the arrival of the apocalypse tide, all spatial dimensions, except for storage spaces, are closed.”
A sound rang in everyone’s ears, leaving them all momentarily speechless with astonishment.
The transmission array is shut down, beasts no longer appear, and all spaces are closed!
“No, I haven’t gathered all my belongings yet!” someone screamed, desperately sprinting toward the city.
“It’s impossible, it can’t be like this. This is the apocalypse era; how can there be no beasts here? I haven’t reached the strength of ten thousand cultivators yet. Without beasts, how can I become stronger?”
In an instant, three commands appeared, throwing everything into chaos. One after another, people rushed madly into the wilderness, running toward the mysterious space they all knew so well.
Teleportation can be done without, but these spaces cannot be closed.
Someone wanted to enter the Demon Hunting Plains and found that the teleportation array was indeed shut down.
Some people want to enter a mysterious space known only to themselves, only to find that the air there has truly become air, and the void no longer offers any resistance.
“My treasure.”
“My Blue Star Mine, I’ve only dug halfway through.”
“Oh, the star treasure that I can get right away!”
…
The world is filled with curses and despair, one face after another showing helplessness and pain.
The transmission array has been shut down, which means it’s now impossible to travel to the Hunting Magic Plains or any other destination.
The absence of beasts indicates that hunting is no longer possible, and it will also be impossible to obtain star spirits or other items from beasts.
The closing of space also means that many mysterious places can no longer be accessed.
At this moment, everyone in the Demon Hunting Plains was transported back to Earth, and those in various mysterious realms were also sent out.
The beasts of the plains have vanished, and the beasts of the mountains have disappeared.
All the original ordinary wild beasts on Earth had long been devoured completely by fierce beasts.
In an instant, the world became quiet.
…
The countdown to the connection between the Demon Hunting Plains and Earth has begun: 360 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 18 seconds remaining.
…
A series of commands was not the end yet.
The Demon Hunting Plains actually still have a connection to Earth!
Some people’s eyes widened in shock, nearly going crazy, screaming, “What? Connected to the Monster Hunting Plains? Are you kidding me!”
“What a joke! How are we supposed to live like this?”
“Is the End Tide determined to completely destroy the Earth before it’s over?”
People all over the world are collapsing to the ground, their bodies turning cold.
The humanoid population is enormous; if they were all to mobilize, the entire Earth would turn into a battlefield.
Innumerable powerful experts were equally astonished.
They had a sense of impending trouble and were already mentally prepared.
But the outcome still surprised them.
Besides the Holy City, the humanoid race also has a royal capital hidden behind it.
What about the other clans?
The mere presence of these four tribes is already a disaster for humanity. What more if the beasts from the plains were to arrive as well?
They dared not think anymore.
“Not enough, it’s not enough.” All the major powers felt the pressure.
…
If someone were to observe the Earth from a satellite, they would see people flying and others running across the plains and forests of the continents.
Transmission can’t continue, the beasts are gone.
People began to gather in the cities of some major countries.
For example, America’s Steel City, Britain’s Nebula City…
Lu Yu was popular among the warriors in these places because of these magical abilities.
These cities are becoming increasingly prosperous, and the population is growing as well.
The port city of Fangchenggang is no exception—
The sixth area is still hiring.
This place can accommodate the lives of two hundred thousand people. Now that this area has been given to the underground forces, they too need to expand their power in order to survive.
The weakest among the Ten Thousand Venerated Forces, yet still mighty enough that even those as supreme as the Sovereigns, or those with exceptional potential and talent, are qualified to enter.
The seventh zone fell to the Beast Demon Clan of the Violent King, and the eighth zone went to the Rebirth Demon Clan of the Rebirth King. The remaining two zones also occasionally received inquiries from people.
However, Liu Xing never nodded in agreement. In the end, it was Lu Yu who decided who would take control of these two areas.
While some people wanted to find Lu Yu and tried to seize a territory using the rhetoric of underground forces, they were directly slapped away by Lu Yu with one palm.
The blood-soaked cities of Huaxia were also fully deployed, eventually covering twenty cities. These cities spread outward from the center of Sijiu City, connecting with each other.
Each City of Bloodbath not only has an undying celestial dome constructed, but also has a large garrison stationed for defense.
In the center of the City of Bloodbath stands a Soul Tower. Those who leave their blood and marks within the Soul Tower can use blood as a medium within its range. The loss of a certain amount of blood can enhance a person’s strength and recovery abilities, with the ultimate power of Ten Thousand Statues capable of breaking through to Twenty Thousand Statues.
The City of Bloodbath can imprint a person’s soul.
Those who die within the city can be resurrected three times within it.
This also attracted a large number of warriors to head there.
The Celestial Deity Organization has approached twenty cities in Huaxia and activated defenses in ten of them.
Ten cities activated their so-called “City of Power Walks” capability.
Once the power of the Rampaging City is activated, the strength of the warriors within the city will double. Ten thousand experts will become as powerful as twenty thousand, and the power of King Experts will also double, surpassing ordinary King Experts.
Moreover, weapons and skills within this city also have enhanced effects.
This is also the only entity in the world, aside from military forces, that possesses such city defenses.
The Celestial Organization has collaborated with the military to connect thirty cities, forming a powerful defensive circle.
At the very center of the defensive circle lay the Sihe City.
And Fanggang stands alone in a corner of China, with fewer and fewer people in the surrounding cities.
However, Lu Yu was not worried. What he needed were not just more people, but individuals with potential and room for growth.
If there is no space, he can provide space. If there is no time, he can offer time to these people.
What he bought was not the present, but the future!
Many soldiers are optimistic about the defense port and are applying for the possibility of entering the sixth zone or the first field.
The Fanggang area is very lively and has not become desolate despite the emptiness of the surrounding cities.
360 Days to the End Times—
The weather was calm as usual, with no one around except the warriors waiting outside the city for inspection.
At the edge of the horizon, powerful auras began to emerge.
These auras numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and as soon as they appeared, they pressed down so heavily that the warriors outside the city could hardly catch their breath.
“How many people have come?”
“Heavens, I must not be mistaken. Wang Zun’s aura alone is in the tens of thousands. Which organization is planning to target Fanggang?”
“No killing intent, no will to fight, not an enemy!”
As people were discussing, they saw someone approaching.
These people were not of the Huaxia ethnicity. Upon closer inspection, some individuals recognized the leaders among them.
The British have arrived ——
The British army numbered up to two hundred thousand strong. It included not only tens of thousands of Zun warriors, but also over ten thousand Wang Zun soldiers. Within this force, there were several Wang-level fighters who had broken through to higher stages, as well as six warriors who had already developed the initial forms of King-making abilities.
The appearance of these people startled quite a few individuals.
Among these people, soldiers accounted for a quarter, and the rest were elites from various major organizations in Britain.
Some forces are among the top ten organizations in the United Kingdom.
People were stunned, unable to understand what had just happened!
“My goodness, Britain has two hundred thousand troops, all elite forces! What are they planning to do?”
“It can’t be a fight. With these people, they couldn’t possibly take control of Fanggang.”
People were very puzzled.
However, there were also some sharp-minded people who, in an instant, made some associations.
Their faces immediately turned pale with shock.
“Lu Yu actually had it all figured out; he had been calculating for decades!”
“My God, he has been preparing for this day since the very beginning of the First Domain!”
Faces lit up with excitement, one after another.
Decades of calculation, decades of accumulation—Fanggang is absolutely not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Undoubtedly, the towering buildings within the core area conceal the accumulated, never-before-seen combat capabilities of the past few decades.
“Lu Yu didn’t even hide from the King of Immortality; what else could be concealed within that tall building?”
“You must enter the Fanggang.”
People outside the harbor were becoming even more frantic.
They are more optimistic about Fanggang and look forward to the city’s development in the post-apocalyptic era.
