Chapter 642: Revival

The aura emanating from Lu Yu was overwhelmingly powerful.

He stood in the void, his formidable combat power continuously releasing waves that spread outward.

It started with a city, then expanded to the vast plains beyond the holy city, and eventually almost covered the entire plain.

His immense power compelled every living being on the earth to kneel down in submission.

This isn’t a powerful presence like Wang Zun and Wang’s, making you tremble deep within your soul.

Lu Yu’s strength is genuine and overwhelming, the kind of power that leaves you powerless to resist and filled with despair!

Pair after pair of eyes couldn’t help but fixate on Lu Yu, eager to see what he would do next.

Lu Yu’s hand rose, and the war axe in his hand shimmered with a sea of light. The Milky Way seemed to come alive, extending from the star-forged weapon and finally coiling around Lu Yu’s arm, then his body.

Snap!

A crack appeared on the battle axe. It was a long one, running from the blade all the way to the handle, as if bearing an immense force.

Some of the older, eccentric residents in the city exclaimed in astonishment: “This… this is the Star Artifact being activated!”

“No, no, it won’t work. Such a barrier can’t stop a star artifact. Strengthen it—quickly, strengthen it.”

Many people exclaimed in surprise!

How powerful is the Star Artifact?

If Wang Zun and Wang are considered the strongest among humans, then the Star Artifact would be equivalent to the strongest among weapons.

Its true combat power is sufficient to rival a king at his peak.

Ordinary people generally cannot activate star artifacts.

Their strength is insufficient to sustain the power required to operate the star artifact.

But King and Wang Zun could.

And if your power is truly strong enough to activate the star artifact, then the star artifact will unleash its real power.

The difference in power between the Xingqi before and after activation is more than tenfold.

Lu Yu’s power was barely enough to activate the star artifact, and even that was terrifying enough.

“Strengthen the defense, strengthen the defense!”

The city was filled with shouts and cries everywhere.

Streams of blood essence surged into the sky. Some soldiers even detonated themselves, transforming into blood dragons that merged into the barrier.

“He must be stopped.”

Dozens of bald, weathered-faced warriors of the Strange Mouth tribe climbed onto the stone tower built upon the dragon king’s bones.

A crimson light surged within the stone pagoda, and a beam of blood-red light, hundreds of feet thick, shot straight into the heavens and poured into the barrier.

The originally transparent barrier was gradually turning crimson.

Moreover, the sky beyond the barrier was no longer accessible to anyone.

The Flying Warrior was forced down to the ground by the power of the Star Artifact.

The warrior of the Weird Mouth Tribe on the ground wanted to leap up, but his body felt as if carrying mountain peaks on his back, making even movement extremely difficult.

Lu Yu raised the battle axe high above his head with both hands, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, enunciating each word: “Crash—down—now!”

Boom! Boom!

The war axe’s brilliance truly cleaved the heavens; the clouds shattered, leaving only the starry sky in the darkness.

As Lu Yu’s word “crush” left his lips, the war axe swung downward. The axe’s beam, stretching ten thousand zhang long, did not grow any longer.

However, the axe’s glow connected with the stars in the sky, and beams of light from each star were channeled into the battle axe, causing its power to swell.

The world lost its colors, soundless and lightless.

In that moment, time itself seemed to freeze, and even the starlight stood still.

All things are silent.

Suddenly—

It was as if the sea of thunder had poured onto the earth; the sound of roaring thunder was all that could be heard in everyone’s ears.

Ah!

The humans at the back were bleeding from their ears and noses, one after another. They no longer cared about concealing their figures and could only think about retreating.

In this way, even some of the weakest among them were shattered by the force of this sound.

“This strike is no weaker than the howling killing king’s!” the bald young man exclaimed, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, yet his eyes were filled with extreme excitement.

Because not everyone has the luck to witness such a battle.

The war axe finally swung down, like a star falling from the sky. The pressure it emitted shattered the void and crushed the earth.

The ground within several thousand zhang outside the Holy City was churning like waves, continuously surging and subsiding.

All the Ghast warriors beyond the barrier were shattered to pieces.

The Grotesque Beaked warriors inside the barrier also felt the pressure, their faces turning pale one by one.

Bang!

The battle axe came down.

The crimson barrier in the void blocked the war axe.

A ripple of light swept between them, cutting through the void.

The bones in Lu Yu’s arms emitted a series of rapid cracking sounds.

The blood-colored barrier developed cracks where the war axe struck, with large fissures spreading outward before finally shattering open.

The barrier shattered like crimson crystal, fragmenting into pieces that scattered through the void and then vanished.

The world was so quiet it seemed as if time had stopped.

Although it was just a split second, it was enough to shock everyone present.

Especially humans, many of whom had witnessed battles involving the late-stage Xiong Sha King.

Although Lu Yu’s attack using the Star-Calling Technique couldn’t yet match the true power of the Howling King, it had already come very close to the King’s level.

“This, this is the King without a crown!” someone stammered, shivering with cold and fear.

Everyone wore a look of terror on their face.

Finally, they understood where the true power of the uncrowned king lay!

In the holy city of the Guai Zui clan, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive, with countless eyes filled with terror.

Some soldiers exclaimed in astonishment: “This is too close to the power of King Zun as described in the legends.”

In this era, before Wang Zun had even emerged, their protective barrier was absolutely impregnable.

This barrier, infused with the lives and blood of countless clan members, was actually shattered in a single strike.

“What are you waiting for? Kill him!” A deep voice roared from the blood tower atop the dragon’s head.

“Kill!”

All the warriors of the Guai Zui clan hesitated no longer and rushed toward Lu Yu together.

Unbelievably fast!

Lu Yu has already rushed into the holy city.

There are no streets here, only countless enormous beast bones and structures built upon them.

“I haven’t even seen many of these beasts before. There’s actually a Sky-Sundering Beast’s bone here,” Lu Yu remarked. As soon as he entered the Holy City, he noticed a gigantic eagle bone towering nearly a thousand zhang high. There was a hole in the center of the eagle bone’s forehead—the very spot where the beast’s third eye had once been located.

The Sky-Sundering Beasts are extremely rare; even Sky-Sundering Kings had to exert all their efforts and ingenuity to slay just one.

Surprisingly, the Guaizui clan had also managed to kill one.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu darted toward the Dragon King’s Bone.

If the Cyclops’ Kun’s words are correct, then the Star Weapon Armor is located within the stone tower on the dragon’s head.

The Cyclops had also experienced the apocalypse.

Kun had infiltrated this city back then and gotten close to the armor.

However, at that time, the Weird Mouth Clan had a king who held a supreme status, which prevented him from getting any closer.

Lu Yu approached the stone tower, and countless Weirdmouth warriors flew towards him.

They didn’t even have a chance to get close, being shattered into blood pulp from ten thousand zhang away by Lu Yu.

“Move!” came the furious roar once again from the Blood Tower.

Two brilliant beams of light suddenly blazed from the hollow eyes of the Dragon King.

A breath of king’s aura surged out from the Dragon King’s bone.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The coiled dragon king’s bones stirred, and a massive dragon claw descended from the void toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu swung his arm, and the starry weapon in his hand unleashed a beam of light ten thousand zhang long, colliding with the dragon claw.

Bang!

Lu Yu was thrown backward by the impact.

The dragon claw, shimmering with golden light, struck Lu Yu’s body without the slightest hesitation.

“This is the power of the Dragon King!” Lu Yu exclaimed in horror, his body plummeting like a broken kite into the holy city.

No, this is merely the deceased Dragon King; with just a skeleton left, he was still struck down by a force capable of repelling even eight ten-thousandfold powers.

Boom!

Countless beast bones across the land began to stir. Upon each bone stood a warrior, their half-bodies fused with the bones, creating an eerie and unsettling sight.

The remaining warriors were as if stuck to the beast bones, their bodies completely pressed against them, becoming like scales on the beast bones.

Vroom!

The Sky-Sundering Beast soared into the heavens, its wings expanding to thousands of zhang in length, as a sky-splitting beam hurtled toward Lu Yu.

“Race me,” Lu Yu said. With a sudden flap of his Rift Wings behind him, he vanished from sight, leaving only a gust of wind in his wake.

Bang!

In the next moment, Lu Yu appeared behind the裂天兽骨, bringing his battle axe down in a powerful strike.

The Dragon King’s bone can block the attack of the Star Artifact, but that doesn’t mean the Sky-Piercing Beast’s bone can do the same.

Lu Yu’s strike cleaved into the裂天 beast bone. The axe light split the bone in half from below.

The strange-mouthed figures on the beast bones shrieked one by one. Between the two halves of the beast bones, countless blood-red threads stretched out, connecting the bones back together.

“Bound by flesh and blood, harnessing the collective power of many to revive the裂天兽’s abilities, they not only restored its powers but also bestowed new ones.”

Lu Yu couldn’t help but be moved.

This clan is indeed mysterious. Is their own strength insufficient, so they use this kind of power to compensate?

A creature like the Sky-Sundering Beast has as many as ten thousand warriors attached to its body.

To what extent will one’s abilities reach!

Just as he was pondering, countless warriors attached to the beast bone suddenly sprang to life.

Their backs were crisscrossed with countless blood-red lines connected to animal bones, and as they leaped from midair, they all lunged toward Lu Yu together.

Lu Yu shook both arms, and a surge of power rapidly expanded outward!

Tens of thousands of warriors were simultaneously swept by the fluctuation of power, all of them bleeding from their mouths and noses.

Lu Yu was startled and stunned!

The power of the Eight Trigrams array was unable to kill even a single person.

“What’s going on!” Lu Yu took a breath, noticing that these soldiers, even after being hit, didn’t stop their movements at all, and rushed toward him all at once.

All the warriors grinned.

The sharpest fangs and most terrifying attack method of the怪嘴族 (Strange Mouth Tribe) is precisely this mouth.

Their bloodthirsty mouths gaped open, with rows of sharp fangs densely packed, extending from the corners of their mouths to their throats, an utterly terrifying sight.

Every soldier lunged toward Lu Yu, opening their mouths to take a bite.

Lu Yu moved extremely fast, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

“Kāng chī…”

Loud, shrill gnawing sounds came from the void.

When Lu Yu turned around, he was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over his body.

These bizarre-mouthed warriors actually managed to bite through the void as if it were flesh and blood being torn apart.

“An ordinary Ghost-Mouthed person doesn’t possess such power,” Lu Yu said in astonishment. “All of this must be related to the city and these beast bones! Could it be that these bones are acting as a conduit, linking and sharing the strength among all the Ghost-Mouthed people?”

“Lu Yu, get out of this plain, or you must die!” The dragon king’s bones in the center of the city let out a sound.

This sound came from the stone tower on the dragon’s head.

Since the moment the word “move” was uttered, only one-third of the dragon’s colossal body, stretching ten million zhang in length, has lifted off the ground.

The Dragon King’s bone will certainly require a tremendous amount of energy to set into motion.

It was already one-third of the Dragon King Bone hovering above the ground; the terrifying pressure it released was about to engulf the entire Holy City.

“Do you think our clan’s holy city is somewhere you can just walk into? You should be grateful. This is the power our clan used to slay the Dragon King in ancient times. For it to be used against someone like you, who isn’t even a King’s Noble, is a disgrace.”

A deep voice filled with anger resonated within the stone tower.

They used the “King-Slaying Skill,” which indicates the importance they place on Lu Yu.

The young bald man and others stood there in the distance, stunned.

Even if they were told to leave, they wouldn’t have been able to move.

Or perhaps they have already forgotten how to walk.

What did they hear!
