The barrier is a powerful creation of humanity.
This was originally a final measure used by humans to resist the descent of darkness or to defend against powerful beings such as kings and those revered as king-level entities.
No one has ever known whether anyone successfully defended themselves in the end.
What people know is that only the methods of creating these barriers were recorded and passed down through successive generations.
For example, the most powerful Wall of Steel, known as the ultimate defensive barrier, can withstand the combined attacks of dozens of Kings.
Of course, this “strongest” can only be achieved when the most top-grade materials are used and arranged with the power of a king.
An era can have no more than two kings.
Can this so-called strongest defense barrier truly withstand the combined attacks of dozens of Kings without breaking? Is it just a theory?
No one knows this clearly.
For example, just like the Immortal Heaven Curtain, it is known as the most mysterious barrier.
So far, there have been dozens of barriers in existence, and the ten most powerful ones indeed differ from each other, yet all possess equally astonishing strength.
It was also rumored that if one could create a barrier, they would receive a special reward.
What exactly is it?
No one knows.
The Poison King’s body has evolved again, and he can now even create barriers. What could they be like?
Lu Yu gave Liu Xing a direct and absolute order: no matter what it takes, no matter the cost. Even if it meant exchanging the right of access to the First Domain, they had to obtain the Venomous Dragon Fruit.
After Liu Xing nodded earnestly and noted it down, he left the harbor with more than ten bodyguards.
Liu Xing rarely left Fanggang.
This departure is because he needs to go to negotiations.
Because the barrier will affect the defense of Fanggang City in the future.
In the United States, someone claimed to possess a special method for constructing a barrier.
Liu Xing went there specifically to obtain this kind of shield.
Lu Yu handed over all the affairs related to Fanggang to Liu Xing.
He doesn’t care about anything else, no matter how much money is involved.
It was precisely this delegation of authority that allowed Liu Xing to demonstrate his genius management abilities, transforming the city into something akin to a wild beast.
Even while it slumbers, it still keeps countless enemies from daring to come near.
Just like guardians such as Sanggu.
With two subordinates as powerful as Wang Zun, they still did not dare to launch an immediate attack on Fanggang.
If his first strike misses, once the defenses of Fanggang City are activated, even if they deploy ten times more troops, they still won’t be able to capture it.
Lu Yu merely restocked some food supplies and other necessities, and then placed all the materials collected by Liu Xing for crafting star artifacts into his own storage space.
Then he placed all the materials obtained from Sangji into the core area, waiting for Liu Xing to return and categorize them.
Similarly, these materials are also freely accessible to warriors who can enter and exit the core area at will.
Huge piles of materials, like small mountains, were stored in the core area, making the warriors who had no chance to join the defense port envious and jealous.
The best welfare in the world is Fanggang.
An organization as wealthy as a nation-state maintains an army of one hundred thousand warriors. Even without entering its core domain, its benefits are several times those of other organizations.
Of course, these are just the visible parts.
There’s even more that you can’t see.
…
Lu Yu returns to the starry sky ——
Kun lifted his head the moment Lu Yu walked in.
Recently, Lu Yu’s frequent movements have made him feel the sense of urgency as well.
“Are we starting to create the star artifacts now?”
Kun answered very seriously.
“Correct!” Lu Yu wasn’t surprised.
Because this is something that has to be started sooner or later.
Lu Yu asked, “How much longer until the armor you’re currently crafting can be restored to its peak condition?”
Kun laughed and said, “The best armor nowadays probably has around 900,000 defense value, although it’s somewhat lacking in skills and other aspects. The armor I create now is about sixty percent of its peak condition.”
Lu Yu said seriously, “If you help me successfully create the star artifact, can I return to my former peak?”
Kun nodded solemnly and said, “My strength hasn’t fully recovered to the level of a King Zun yet. If I have the opportunity to craft a Star Artifact, I believe I can return to my peak within a year. Lu Yu, what trouble have you encountered this time that actually requires the use of a Star Artifact?”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly and said, “It’s not just star equipment. This time, I also need you to create the best armor possible, preferably with one of my skills infused into it.”
Kun frowned and said, “If that’s the case, it might be feasible after a year. As for the method of injecting skills, it’s quite simple. As long as I can restore my peak strength, it will be much easier than forming powerful abilities within the armor.”
Lu Yu’s eyes lit up as he said, “Great, that’s not a problem. I’m still a bit short of the ability to create half-star artifacts right now. However, I do have a method to directly craft star artifacts, and within three years, I will need at least two of them. Do you think it’s possible to complete two star artifacts within three years?”
Kun thought for a moment and said, “You possess hellfire and the art of forging weapons. If you can find a way to directly create star-grade artifacts, combined with the Star-Calling Technique, producing two star-grade artifacts within three years should be feasible, especially with my assistance.”
“Then that’s settled.” Lu Yu nodded and said, “You’ve crafted star-grade armor before—I trust your experience is more than sufficient.”
Lu Yu roughly explained the ability of transforming the Soul of the God of War.
Kun, surprised yet serious, said, “Even though this method allows us to skip the兵术 training process, we still need to use materials like Hellfire, Star-Calling术, and various top-grade ingredients. Producing two star-forged artifacts within three years should be feasible. Moreover, your energy transformation is already equivalent to the highest-level兵术. If we apply our兵术 at this point, it won’t only enhance our strength—it would be like giving the star-forged artifacts a second tempering, which means—”
Kun felt a chill run down his spine as he thought about it.
Even he couldn’t guarantee what kind of star artifact would be created.
In the era of the Cyclops, Kun became the King Venerable and created star-tier armor.
You should know that crafting star-weapon-grade armor is even more difficult than forging star weapons themselves; Kun is practically at the pinnacle of the art of weapon forging.
Therefore, Kun’s words are quite authoritative.
Lu Yu said solemnly, “Alright. Then during these three years, I won’t leave here. Everything will focus on manufacturing star artifacts.”
Kun beckoned to his ten clansmen and said, “Come over here too. You also possess the art of forging weapons. This time, while refining the star-forged artifact, we will coordinate using the weapon forging techniques, which should provide a supportive effect and also help enhance your abilities.”
The ten geniuses immediately became excited.
The conversation between Kun and Lu Yu has already been heard by the ten people.
Refining a star artifact—this was something they had never encountered before, let alone even dared to imagine.
The clan that excels the most in cultivation in this world.
Kun signaled everyone to stay silent, then coughed slightly and said, “From my experience, besides the influence of materials, the most important factor in crafting star artifacts is the auxiliary element. For example, Hellfire is divided into the ordinary flames on the outside and the core Hellfire Essence. The effect of these two flames on the final star artifact can differ by roughly twice as much. Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about this point. Lu Yu’s flame is precisely Hellfire Essence—it’s a naturally superior condition compared to other artifact crafters. As for the materials, I think we don’t need to worry about that either. The only things we must pay attention to are the infusion of star power and some key points in the crafting process…”
Kun was never stingy.
He passed on all his previous experiences as well as various techniques and knowledge related to military training to everyone.
Everyone was listening attentively.
Kun is a true expert who has actually forged star artifacts. Every word he speaks is a valuable lesson, absolutely priceless.
Everyone’s sword-forging techniques may not reach the highest level individually, but combined, they should be sufficient to achieve the pinnacle.
In the following month, Lu Yu supplied the basic materials, and everyone began to familiarize themselves with the various points mentioned by Kun.
Everyone was nervous and serious.
After all, this is about refining star artifacts that will be unmatched in any era, and not just one, but two of them.
After a month of getting familiar, everyone had gained a considerable understanding of the key points that Kun had mentioned.
After seeking clarification on some unclear points, Kun solemnly said, “That’s about it. Lu Yu, for your first star artifact, do you want to forge it into a weapon or armor?”
“Let’s create some weapons first,” said Lu Yu. “Crafting star-tier armor is more challenging, and besides, I don’t have enough materials for that. However, I already possess eighty-seven types of royal blood, which I can infuse into weapons to forge the most powerful star-tier weapons possible.”
As Lu Yu spoke, he couldn’t help but clench his hands together tightly, his voice filled with excitement.
The piece of divine blade fragment he held wasn’t used many times, but its power was stronger than the battle axe he had given away.
The power of Wang’s blood was revealed at this moment.
An one-eyed man said excitedly, “None of us have ever crafted a star artifact infused with royal blood before. This time presents a perfect opportunity for us to gain some experience.”
The first material Lu Yu took out wasn’t the best one, but the top-grade item possessed astonishing power.
The main ingredient is Starlight Grass.
After this primary material is refined into a star artifact, once the artifact is activated, it can summon starlight, with each beam of starlight possessing the power of a star artifact.
The finest Starlight Grass can summon ten beams of starlight for attack.
Including the star artifact itself, it is equivalent to eleven star artifacts attacking simultaneously.
As long as someone activates this star artifact, even if they aren’t a king, they can slay a king.
However, Lu Yu’s Starlight Grass was just the most ordinary kind; at best, it could summon a single beam of starlight after refinement.
Since no one could be sure whether it would succeed in one attempt, this was just an experiment.
After Lu Yu melted all the materials with hellfire, he turned his gaze toward Kun.
Kun, along with ten geniuses from the One-Eyed Clan, nodded to indicate they were ready.
Lu Yu extracted a stream of energy from the Murderous Star Soul and infused it into the material.
Boom!
This is a powerful attribute that has accumulated the essence of countless billions of living beings.
This powerful energy, once injected into the material, immediately caused it to display power exceeding that of a half-star artifact.
“This is such terrifying energy,” the ten one-eyed tribe geniuses thought inwardly.
They nearly couldn’t withstand the force of this energy and were injured by the shock.
Then—
Boom, boom—
Two beams of starlight from the sky fell together onto the mass of materials at the center where everyone stood.
An one-eyed man exclaimed excitedly, “In an era, a person who can channel even a single beam of starlight into a star-forged artifact is considered quite remarkable. Yet we have two beams—in just this step alone, double the starlight is being condensed into the artifact. Once this star-forged artifact is completed, even the most ordinary materials will create something extraordinary.”
Kun said solemnly, “Focus your attention. This is the forging of a star artifact.”
Ten one-eyed men immediately adopted solemn expressions, carefully controlling the activity of the alchemical technique on the materials, as if spiritually carving an artwork, tempering the materials bit by bit.
At the same time, waves were also stirring within their hearts.
Since the moment they began refining the star artifacts, they could already sense changes in their strength.
Kun shouted loudly at this moment: “Now inject the royal blood. Inject a different type every ten minutes and watch for changes carefully.”
