Outside the city, a thousand-man pursuit team watched as three hundred people they were chasing entered a fortified area of the harbor.
When this thousand people opened their mouths, not a single person dared to utter half a word.
Once these people enter the Fanggang, they are considered to be under protection.
They had no qualifications whatsoever before a king.
Moreover, this place is not only ruled by a king, but also Lu Yu’s territory. On someone else’s land, what right do they have to act so arrogantly?
Lu Yu’s personality is firm and resolute; this is something everyone knows clearly.
When these three hundred people entered Fanggang, they knew that the interception had failed!
The leader sighed helplessly and said with a bitter smile, “Let’s go. We don’t stand a chance anymore.”
“Damn it, these bastards deserve to die!” a person gritted his teeth, saying angrily.
The other person also said不甘心地, “Damn it, they actually dared to put a bounty on our heads. They must be tired of living. At a time like this, they still dare to pull such a stunt. They’re practically asking for death!”
“Let’s go back and report what happened here,” the leader said, shaking his head without giving a response.
Does this world still have right and wrong?
When the apocalypse tide comes, everyone can do nothing but fight for their lives.
Were the people they were hunting down in the wrong?
Even if it’s wrong, does it have anything to do with them?
In fact, various factions had long coveted the underground world, but they had lacked a pretext.
The underworld is getting more and more audacious. They’ve actually dared to put bounties on the leaders and powerful figures of various factions—that’s practically signing their own death warrant.
With an excuse like that, if one still fails to annex the resources of the underground forces, it would simply be incompetence!
To put it bluntly, the recent meeting to hunt down the Hunters was merely the beginning of a pretext.
…
In front of the red crystal, three hundred people listened excitedly as Lu Yu explained.
Lu Yu is elaborating on the value of three domain guardians in detail.
…
Common Realm Guardian — generated with Spirit Stones and Spirit Beads.
One billion Star Spirit Stones and Star Spirit Beads can be used to generate a Domain Guardian with the strength of a Hundred尊.
A hundred billion Star Spirit Stones and Star Spirit Beads can be used to create a Domain Guardian with the strength of a Thousand尊 cultivator.
…
Advanced Domain Guardian — created from a thousand Blue Planet Souls, the guardian’s initial level is set at Ten Sovereigns.
The guards generated by the Soul of the Blue Star possess armor that can be embedded with Star Spirit Pearls or infused with the skills of the domain owner, granting them enhanced combat capabilities.
All generated domain guardians can evolve.
Each statue’s power requires one drop of the evolution liquid.
The highest level of the Blue Star Soul Guardian can evolve into the Ten Thousand Sovereigns.
…
Top-tier Domain Guardian — forged from fragments of a half-star artifact.
Every fifty Semi-Stellar fragments can summon a top-tier guardian. The guardian’s initial level is Hundred Venerable, and its maximum level can be enhanced to King Venerable by using evolution liquid.
The body of the top-tier guardian will integrate the properties of a half-star artifact, making itself a half-star artifact.
…
Lu Yu informed the three hundred people about the detailed information regarding the Domain Guardians, leaving them stunned and with his words echoing in their ears.
A trembling voice asked, “Really, is this actually true? Artificially created powerful warriors—can they truly be made using just Star Spirit Stones, the Soul of Blue Planet, and Evolution Serum?”
“There’s no need for cultivation or any amount of time; with just an Evolution Serum, one can become a powerful warrior.”
People became more and more excited, feeling as if they had fallen into a dreamlike illusion.
With abundant wealth, they can create a large number of warriors!
The leading black man said, “These, these Domain Guardians are invincible? Mr. Lu, I’ve heard that the Domain Guardians are invincible. Is it true?”
“That’s right. As long as my core domain remains intact, these domain guardians won’t be destroyed,” Lu Yu nodded. “But the only difference is that these domain guardians, although created by you to defend your respective areas, ultimately take orders from me. Once your area is breached, they will immediately become guardians of my primary domain. Moreover, if you ever resist, I can also command these domain guardians to kill you.”
Everyone’s heart was pounding wildly.
You can ignore the part about using domain guardians to kill them.
They never thought of resisting Lu Yu when they came here.
Suddenly, they felt that coming here was totally worth it.
Such a city is guarded by top-level guardians whose bodies are made of half-star artifacts, each possessing advanced abilities and the power of ten thousand尊.
Over the years, Lu Yu has been collecting large amounts of evolution liquid and Blue Planet souls, and has never overlooked even the smallest fragments of half-star artifacts.
Now they finally understand.
All of this is for the sake of this city.
These are all Fang Gang’s secrets; he kept them too well.
It’s precisely because no one knows the reason behind Lu Yu’s acquisition that they’re unsure how to raise prices.
Now that we’re so close to the Doomsday Tide, releasing such secrets won’t make much of a difference anymore.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts when they thought about it.
Lu Yu, your calculation is so profound.
Before the First Field was fully constructed, Fangang began to aggressively acquire Blue Star Souls, Evolution Fluids, and Semi-Star Device fragments.
Has Lu Yu known about the Doomsday Tide since then?
Did Lu Yu start preparing for this war decades ago?
Decades of accumulation—just how profound is Fanggang’s foundation, and how much terrifying strength remains hidden beneath the surface?
Everyone couldn’t help but feel their hair stand on end as they realized that what the city had shown them was merely the tip of the iceberg.
“That’s great, really great. If we have these domain guardians and the people we can find in the future, defending the first area will be too easy.”
“This is the Domain Guardian, merely a part of the city’s defense system,” Lu Yu continued.
“What, what?”
Three hundred people shouted in unison, each of them feeling as if their blood were about to ignite.
The domain guardian, powerful enough to be invincible, is actually just a part of the domain’s defense?
They didn’t hear wrong, did they?
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, are there any other defensive capabilities?” Everyone became excited.
Lu Yu said, “Each area can construct 100,000 defensive towers. The attack power, physical strength, and health points of each tower are equal to those of the owner of the domain crystal. The attack radius of each tower is ten thousand meters, and each tower can attack four targets at once!”
“This, this is…”
Three hundred people were completely stunned. This couldn’t be a joke, right?
The territory of Fangang is indeed owned by Lu Yu. This means that every defensive tower possesses Lu Yu’s attack power, physical strength, and hit points.
Moreover, Lu Yu is a king without a crown, whose strength can be infinitely enhanced.
If Lu Yu could ever become a King or even a King Monarch, a single defensive tower would be at the King Monarch level.
No, that’s not right!
Lu Yu of today has already surpassed Wang Zun. If he goes beyond that, he’ll truly become the king.
“This area will belong to your group afterward. Elect three representatives who can grant others access to this territory,” Lu Yu indicated to the crowd that they could now choose their leaders.
After discussing among the three hundred people, three individuals were selected.
The original leader of the black people, and the one who discussed the third condition with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu didn’t recognize the last one and didn’t care either.
“Remember, this area belongs to you, but that doesn’t mean you have full authority. If I’m not satisfied with what you do, I can expel you at any time.”
Three hundred people nodded continuously as they listened.
Lu Yu stared coldly at the crowd with icy eyes and said in a deep voice, “The section of the city wall you are guarding is connected to the protective shield. Once the wall is destroyed, the shield will also shatter. Although it seems impossible to break the Star Spirit Stones now, it doesn’t mean they will remain unbreakable forever. Remember your promise: when the day comes that the First Domain needs you, you must use your lives to help me defend it.”
A man said solemnly, “Rest assured, Mr. Lu. Although we are involved in the underworld, it doesn’t mean we have abandoned our basic dignity. We will definitely fulfill what we have promised.”
In fact, everyone knew deep down that if the area they were guarding was destroyed, or if another area was shattered, they would have no place left to stand—and they would have no choice but to fight with all their might.
They won’t have anywhere to hide by then.
“Remember, now that you have control over this area, you’re under my protection. What you did before—killing and setting fires—has nothing to do with me,” Lu Yu said as he turned to leave, after granting the three of them authority over the area. “From now on, follow the rules of the harbor. If anyone dares to touch you, I’ll step in personally.”
This is Zone 6, and he still has four more zones to go.
Before the Doomsday Tide, I believe these four areas will not be given away.
Three hundred people saw Lu Yu off, their faces glowing with excitement and joy, the worries and heavy burdens that had weighed on their hearts for days finally lifted.
…
The thousand-man pursuit team left, and they reported to their superiors that these three hundred people had entered the Fanggang area.
The two military leaders both chose to remain silent upon hearing the news.
Because not long after, they would also move into one of the areas.
However, they intensified their pursuit and assassination attempts on the underground forces.
Because if this news spreads, all the underground forces’ experts will defect to Fang Gang, which would be a disadvantageous situation for them.
Even if they were to occupy a region of Fanggang, it would merely provide them with an additional base and another route of retreat.
If other territories are destroyed, they can retreat to Fanggang.
Even if Fanggang were destroyed, it would not be their entire fighting force.
On the fifteenth day of the crackdown on the underworld, 300 elite members of the criminal underworld who had just arrived at Defense Port’s Sixth Sector left the port.
This time, they were not only former elite members of the underworld but also under Lu Yu’s protection.
…
The British border—
Here is a forest stretching for dozens of miles.
Since the end of the world, this place has been plagued by wild beasts year-round.
There were once three powerful King-tier beasts here, but they were eventually captured by the British military working in collaboration.
The end-of-the-world tide is drawing near, yet the beasts here show no sign of decreasing.
At the center of the forest stood a low hill. The hill was covered with twisting vines and ancient trees towering into the sky. Dozens of wild beasts stared uneasily at the small book, afraid to approach.
Inside was originally their nest, but now there are humans living there, and they are very powerful.
At this moment, several humans approached from the front of the small hill. They were very familiar with this place and quickly made their way to the base of the hill.
“I found it, here!” a human shouted excitedly.
Several people quickly gathered around. Before them, an opening was hidden among piles of rocks and creeping vines.
Suddenly, from within the cave, a voice filled with anger and sorrow shouted, “So you’re really determined to wipe me out completely. I’ve already hidden here; do you still insist on my death?”
“Damn it. Boss, if we can’t make it, let’s just fight then. It’s too humiliating for me to hide here like this.”
“Yeah, let’s do it. I’ve had enough of you guys. If we’re going down, we’re taking each other with us. I’ve had this skill all along but never used it—consider it my parting gift to you.”
Boom!
The cave entrance was as if exploded, with countless rocks flying in all directions.
In an instant, more than a hundred warriors surged out from the mountains. The weakest among them possessed the strength of ten thousand cultivators, and the five leading them were all Monarch-level experts.
This mountain has long been hollowed out, with enough space inside to hide hundreds of people. Among the five individuals, the one standing in the center held a fragment of a star artifact in his hand.
However, when all these people came out, they were all taken aback.
Because the people standing before them were not enemies, and they all recognized each other.
“Mr. Smith, how come you’re here?” Wang Zun, holding a starry artifact, said with excitement. “Great! You’re actually still alive. If that’s the case, combining the forces of our two organizations will be sufficient to withstand the attacks from those damn soldiers.”
The man called Smith was a blond white man. He was equally excited when he saw the people across from him and said, “John, I never thought you’d still be alive. It’s truly wonderful.”
“Where are your people, though?” Wang Zun, holding the fragment of the star artifact, looked past Smith and exclaimed in shock, “Could it be that all your people are dead?”
John certainly knew how powerful the organization Smith was part of could be.
Most of these people are murderers who escaped from high-security prisons, each one a vicious criminal who fights without fear of death.
It can be said that one thousand people can be as effective as ten thousand.
Just imagine how fierce the battle outside must have been if even Smith’s men were all killed.
“Haha, we’re not dead, you know. We just split up to escape,” Smith laughed loudly. “Mr. John, this time I came here not only to meet you all, but also to bring you some good news.”
