All the humans on the plains of the Inhuman Royal City had retreated.
It was already very difficult to set foot on the plains of the Yiren tribe and leave alive, so they had no choice but to go.
The countless hostile glances from the surrounding crowd felt as if they could kill.
Everyone understood that if they didn’t leave now, they would never have another chance.
They closely followed behind Lu Yu and the others, watching as Lu Yu stepped out of the plain. An outsider sternly said, “Lu Yu, remember what you’ve said. This is the last time our clan will meet you on this plain.”
Lu Yu turned around and said, “I understand. If we meet again, it will be for a fight to the death.”
“This is not a threat. Wang Zun wants you to know that everything happens only once!”
This is an extraordinary person in the holy city.
That armor is their glory, the radiance of their existence as warriors.
In the absence of Kings and Royal Venerates within the Sacred City, they could slay a warrior clad in a Starforged-grade armor, which was equivalent to defeating a King or even a Royal Venerate.
This is their record.
And now Lu Yu has taken away the glory they once had as warriors, leaving these martial artists longing to perish together with him.
However, they had to obey the orders from King Zun of the royal city.
The exorcists turned around and left.
The plain returned to normal.
However, for humans, they had discovered big news and couldn’t wait to return to Earth to share everything they had seen and heard with their companions.
It’s really a stroke of luck to witness such a spectacular confrontation.
The Blood Tyrant descended beside Lu Yu, his expressionless face saying, “Lu Yu, I don’t care what you’ve gained. What you promised me, you should give me now.”
“I promised you, and I will give it to you.” Lu Yu took out the star-imbued battle axe from his storage space and handed it to Blood King with both hands, saying, “A damaged star artifact—it’s your reward.”
The Blood Sky King received the battle axe with both hands, and his expression could not hide his excitement.
At this moment, the humans who had not retreated were even more astonished to see Lu Yu actually giving a star artifact to the Blood Sky King.
For a star-grade armor, Lu Yu would rather give away a broken star artifact to someone else. But what exactly is the armor he is determined to obtain?
The more unfathomable something is, the more mysterious it seems to people.
However, after examining it carefully, the Blood Tyrant looked up at Lu Yu with a serious expression and said, “You’ve activated it before, haven’t you? There’s an additional crack now, clearly different from what you showed me last time.”
“That’s right. To break through the barrier of the Holy City of the Strange People, I activated the Star Artifact once with the power of eight thousand statues.”
“It’s a pity. This way, I’ll have one less use of it,” Xue Tianwang said with some regret as he put away the star artifact.
Some people nearby who overheard Lu Yu and the Blood King’s conversation couldn’t help but wonder aloud: “Use it less often? What does that mean? Could it be that star artifacts have usage limitations?”
Everyone was very puzzled.
Unfortunately, no one was able to answer his question.
Thunder King walked past Lu Yu, saying, “I no longer owe you anything. Next time I take action, you’ll have to pay the price as well.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Your Majesty, the King of Flashing Thunder, please rest assured about that. Next time, when I ask you to take action again, I will certainly offer you satisfactory compensation.”
Flash Thunder King nodded and said, “Then I’ll take my leave first. If anything happens, you should know how to contact me.”
“There’s nothing more for me to do here, so I’ll be on my way too,” the Blood Heaven King replied in the same tone.
“Have the two of you thought about what I mentioned earlier?” Lu Yu asked at this moment.
The Blood Tyrant turned around and looked at Lu Yu with a half-smile, saying, “I’ve heard that Mr. Lu has been collecting royal blood for quite some time. I wonder if this is true?”
“That’s right. A long time ago, I started collecting royal blood,” Lu Yu said without hiding the fact, smiling. “For someone who possesses the art of forging weapons, I think you all understand how important royal blood is to me.”
Lu Yu did not reveal anything about the dead puppet.
Because that was his last trump card.
Without joining the Fang Gang and without people loyal to him, it would be impossible to know about the existence of the Death Puppets.
After experiencing battle after battle, only five thousand people knew of the existence of the death puppets.
Only these people know about the existence of the corpse puppet.
Although Lu Yu concealed the matter, rumors about the changes that occur when royal blood is added to the star artifacts have long circulated among the kings.
Lu Yu believed that Xue Tianwang and the others would believe it.
The Blood Tyrant took out a small bottle and asked, “That’s right. I’ve also heard about the effect of King’s Blood on Star Artifacts. But you should understand how valuable a single drop of my blood is. If I were to give you ten drops, what would you be willing to exchange for them?”
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, “For ten drops of blood, I can help you repair a star artifact once. However, you’ll need to find the materials yourself.”
“What, you’re already capable of repairing star artifacts?” Xue Tianwang, Zaisheng Wangzun, and Shanlei Wang were all greatly astonished.
They stared at Lu Yu with strange expressions, which startled him.
Lu Yu said, “I’m still practicing the refinement of half-star artifacts for now, but I’ve already started gathering materials for star artifacts. I believe that within ten years, I should be able to repair star artifacts.”
“Ten years… can the Star Artifact be repaired in ten years?” the Blood King’s eyes flickered with shock as he asked, “Are you certain it can be repaired in ten years?”
“It will definitely work,” Lu Yu nodded with great certainty.
“You’re not joking?” Xue Tianwang looked at Lu Yu in disbelief, unable to accept that this was real.
Because this information was even more explosive than Lu Yu’s possession of the art of forging weapons.
How could he know that Lu Yu had discussed the art of forging weapons with the One-Eyed King, a monarch who was also extremely knowledgeable in this field?
Lu Yu gained a lot of information and experience about military tactics from him.
Based on Lu Yu’s current financial resources, it would take at least ten years to repair the star artifact, which is already the worst-case scenario.
If Lu Yu had given up everything in recent years and devoted himself entirely to the art of forging soldiers, he could have repaired the star artifact in no more than five years.
Seeing that Lu Yu didn’t seem to be lying, the Blood Tyrant threw the small bottle to him and said, “Once I find the materials, I’ll come find you in Fanggang again. Lu Yu, remember this: when the day comes that you can repair star artifacts, help me complete the restoration of this battle axe.”
The Blood Sky King was very satisfied with the terms offered by Lu Yu, and he appeared particularly excited.
Stellar artifacts are precious, but those who possess the art of forging weapons are even harder to find.
Even though many people possess the art of forging weapons, only a few of them eventually succeed in creating star-forged weapons.
After all, cultivating the art of training soldiers is extremely difficult.
That’s not something you can easily reach the highest level of mastery in.
The art of forging star soldiers requires a certain level of proficiency. If you haven’t reached that level, you won’t be able to create advanced star soldiers at all.
You must start your cultivation from the lowest rank, the first-level Star Soldier, and then accumulate experience to forge the next-rank Star Soldier.
Therefore, cultivating the art of forging soldiers is a process that burns through money. Without several tens of billions of funds, one wouldn’t dare to claim they could forge a star soldier with the strength of ten thousand, let alone a half-star artifact or a star artifact.
In the era of the Blood Regent, there was someone who once possessed the art of forging soldiers, yet until his death, he could only create nine thousand star-forged warriors.
By the time he reached this stage, he had already consumed 300 billion Star Spirit Stones and countless other materials.
Those who have reached the level of crafting semi-star artifacts, like Lu Yu, are extremely rare.
Otherwise, why would there be so few star artifacts?
It’s precisely because there are so few people capable of crafting star artifacts.
A master of the art of forging weapons who has reached the pinnacle of their craft can produce only two to three star-grade artifacts in their entire lifetime, which is considered the absolute limit.
However, there are rumors that when the End-Tide arrives, a weaponsmith will forge five star-forged artifacts, though that is merely a legend.
Thunder King said, “I don’t know when Mr. Lu will be able to craft a star artifact. However, I can give you these ten drops of my blood right now. Should the day come when you can create star artifacts, I would be willing to provide all the necessary materials and ask Mr. Lu to craft one for me. Would these ten drops of blood be a sufficient price for that future favor? Alternatively, if I were to find a fragment of a star artifact, would you be willing to repair it for me?”
“This is absolutely not a problem,” Lu Yu said with a smile, nodding as he accepted ten drops of blood from the Flash Thunder King.
The Reincarnation King watched from the side with envy and said, “Mr. Lu Yu, if we, the Reincarnation King and I, gather sufficient materials, would you be willing to forge a star artifact for us?”
Lu Yu said seriously, “As allies, I won’t charge you anything as long as you provide the materials. However, I can’t guarantee the success rate.”
Refining is different from repairing; when it comes to repairing, Lu Yu has one hundred percent confidence.
Cultivation is different.
Lu Yu had already begun to experience failures while refining semi-star artifacts.
Although failures are still rare.
However, Lu Yu believed that the failure rate would be even higher when it came time to forge the star artifact.
When Lu Yu said that, King Zai Sheng’s eyes lit up as he replied, “Good. Your words are enough. King Zai Sheng has chosen a fine ally.”
Richard couldn’t help but envy their conversation.
More people could only swallow hard.
While they were still talking about how to obtain a top-tier weapon with Ten Thousand Revered attributes, others had already begun discussing Star Artifacts.
That’s the gap, this is the gap.
Richard knew very well that even if he managed to get Lu Yu to forge a half-Star Artifact through his connections with the Australian military, the cost would likely be extremely high.
Lu Yu and others exchanged their final farewells and then parted ways.
The King of Fury and Lu Yu returned to Fanggang.
Only then did the Violent King curiously glance at Lu Yu and say, “Lu Yu, for a piece of armor, you actually used a damaged half-star artifact as compensation to invite a King. Just what armor is it?”
Lu Yu led Bao Liewang to the core area and said, “There were five Star-tier armors in total. Two have been completely destroyed, and three are damaged. The Flying Heaven King Armor is in the hands of the heavily armored warrior, and the other two are missing. The armor I possess is one of the completely destroyed ones.”
“What?” King Bao Lie exclaimed in astonishment. “A completely destroyed one. If that’s the case, no wonder the Yi Ren clan gave it up so easily. Even though it’s said to be their ultimate weapon, they must still be able to repair it before they can use it. But—”
The Violent King looked at Lu Yu in astonishment and said, “From what I know, the two completely destroyed Star-grade armor pieces were the King’s Blood Armor, forged using fifty drops of royal blood, and the other was the Bone Dragon Armor, crafted from the bones of a dragon king. Which one of these is the one you possess?”
Even if these two sets of armor were completely destroyed, their value would still be no less than that of the Flying King Armor.
Don’t assume they’re completely destroyed.
But they indeed represent two extreme fields.
The Dragon King Bone Armor, crafted from the bones of a Dragon King, combines the power of the Dragon King with a star-forged weapon. It is said to possess its own consciousness, rivaling the strength of a king.
Another one was even more terrifying.
When the Tyrant King thought of this, he couldn’t help but tremble with rage.
