The plains were rumbling, and the earth shook so violently that people could be bounced off the ground.
The raging aura of slaughter was extremely intense. The vast, invisible wave of blood and gore felt as if countless demons were charging from the horizon.
The bald young man and others saw countless tiny black shadows stretching across the horizon, forming a dark, oppressive expanse.
Their hearts were trembling, as if they had momentarily stopped beating.
These dark shadows drew closer and grew larger.
Every Grok warrior resembles a fierce beast, their eyes turning an eerie shade of blue.
Boom!
The leader let out a strange cry, raised his hand, and slashed downward, sending forth a blade of light stretching thousands of feet in length straight toward the ground.
Half-Star Vessel!
The young bald man and others couldn’t help but feel a start of surprise.
The Guaizui Clan is really going all out this time.
Without saying a word, he immediately launched an attack with a half-star artifact.
The great army had not yet arrived, but the light from the half-star artifact had already reached the sky above Lu Yu’s head, hovering a hundred meters overhead.
Lu Yu swung his battle axe as well, unleashing the Star Artifact!
Bang!
The glint of the sword clashed with the gleam of the axe; in that instant, the swordlight was shattered and dispersed.
When faced with a Star Artifact, a Half-Star Artifact becomes utterly powerless.
A ten-thousand-zhang-long axe blade of light slashed violently backward.
The bald young man and others had never seen the power of a star artifact before.
They stared blankly as the axe light cut into the distant crowd, sending sprays of blood, flesh, and severed limbs flying.
No one can escape once their life is caught in the axe’s glow!
The distant warrior paid no heed to his comrades being torn apart, and charged toward Lu Yu like a frenzied beast.
Buzz…
A series of flashes of light split through the distant crowd.
Each of these beams of light stretched thousands of feet long, and when counted, they actually exceeded seventeen in number.
This data made the bald young man and others swallow hard.
“My God, my eyes must be failing me,” someone said, covering their eyes. “Seventeen and a half star artifacts? How come we’ve never heard of this before?”
Seventeen beams of light struck Lu Yu’s body.
Bang—
When the first beam of light struck Lu Yu, the entire beam shattered into pieces.
Countless beams of starlight burst forth from Lu Yu’s body, like tiny stars scattering in all directions.
That was the glow from the collision between the half-star artifacts.
Lu Yu’s body merely swayed slightly, completely unscathed by the attack of the Half-Star artifact.
In the moment his body swayed slightly, the sixteen other half-star artifacts simultaneously unleashed their radiant blades, all striking him.
The young bald man and others stood there, stunned.
If an ordinary person were attacked by so many Half-Star artifacts at once, they probably would have been blown to pieces by now.
However, when such bombardment struck Lu Yu, he emerged unscathed, walking out from the sea of light.
Lu Yu’s voice turned cold as he said, “That’s all you’ve got—this battle is ours to lose. With only half a star artifact, what can you possibly do to me?”
“Never-ending battle!” shouted a warrior from the Ghost-mouth Tribe, charging at Lu Yu like a man determined to die in combat.
“No, you’re too weak.”
Lu Yu let out a cold snort, raised his hand, and with a single palm strike, turned the warrior into a pool of blood and gore.
Roar!
The dragon of darkness soared, its eight serpentine bodies sweeping together through the warrior’s flesh and bones. Blood and vital energy spurted into the air, while white bones turned to ashes.
In an instant, the soldier’s flesh and blood were reduced to nothing but ashes scattered across the ground.
Tens of thousands of warriors from the Weirdmouth Clan had their eyes turn even bluer, and their speed increased.
Lu Yu didn’t even furrow his brows, striding forward with big steps.
Boom—
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the first thousand or so warriors of the Guizui tribe at the front were instantly turned into bloodied pulp by the battle axe in Lu Yu’s hands.
The Dark Dragon rampaged, drawing in the life essence of these people along with the demonic energy.
Numerous soldiers’ hair stood on end, instantly coming to a halt, each glaring furiously at Lu Yu.
“Lu Yu, you’ve gone too far!” a grotesque-faced man at the front shouted fiercely, “Daring to start a fight in our territory—don’t you fear provoking a great war between humans and humanoids?”
Lu Yu said coldly, “Don’t waste my time. You should know why I’m here. I won’t leave without getting what I came for.”
“It’s impossible!” countless grotesque-mouthed people answered in unison, filled with rage.
“Then there’s nothing more to talk about; I’ll have to charge in myself,” Lu Yu replied.
A strange-mouthed hostage demanded, “Lu Yu, just for a suit of armor, do you really want to cause a massacre?”
“Hmph, haven’t you figured it out by now?” Lu Yu said coldly, “The apocalypse tide is coming, and it will be humanity that is destroyed. You are merely puppets controlled by the gods. The Monster Hunting Plains were originally completely empty; you only appeared after someone activated them one day. You emerge only according to a predetermined method, and you can continuously resurrect in cycles—we don’t stand a chance.”
The odd-mouthed man said, “How do you know we can resurrect repeatedly? We also have to fight for our own chances of survival. Do you think we’re idle?”
Lu Yu’s heart pounded as he said, “If that’s the case, give me that armor. I can provide you with a large quantity of weapons in exchange, enough to cover your losses.”
“That is our clan’s weapon. Even if the armor is damaged, it is still a Star Artifact. Do you know the value of a Star Artifact? Even if you use thousands or tens of thousands of weapons, none could match the value of that Star Artifact!”
“Then there’s nothing more to talk about,” Lu Yu said coldly. “Without a genuine King of Kings or a true King, you won’t be able to stop me.”
Countless strange-mouthed people roared together: “The humanoid race has no cowards.”
Boom!
The strange-mouthed person speaking raised the Half-Star artifact in his hand, the light gathering above the weapon, ready to slash it outward.
Lu Yu took a single step to stand before the warrior, his voice cold as he said, “Before me, even a half-star artifact won’t help you.”
With the strength of seventeen thousand zuns, he possesses power that surpasses everyone else.
Before him, these warriors seemed as insignificant as mere novices.
He merely stood before the warrior, causing the latter to feel suffocated and his movements to become sluggish and restrained.
The soldier’s weapon had just been raised in front of his chest when Lu Yu’s weapon crashed down onto it.
Bang!
The warrior’s body was shattered.
The weapon in the warrior’s hand exploded into rivers of stars, each stretching tens of thousands of zhang in length, enveloping the entire battlefield in a dazzling display.
The vast plains were bathed in starlight, as if people were standing right in the middle of the Milky Way. The galaxy sparkled brilliantly, dazzling and magnificent.
This is the essence of the Half-Star Artifact; it is formed from countless rays of starlight.
The art of forging soldiers gathered these starlights and eventually transformed them into a half-star artifact.
Similarly, the art of forging troops can also decompose these half-star artifacts, transforming them once again into infinite stardust.
The sky and earth were enveloped by the Milky Way.
But the next second—
Lu Yu’s body became like a vortex, devouring all the starlight from the sky.
“I told you, you can’t stop me.”
Lu Yu’s cold response.
The shattered warrior before him was recovering.
His recovery was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, he had already regained almost half of his original form.
But his neck was gripped by Lu Yu’s single hand.
Lu Yu’s power was too overwhelming; the warrior he suppressed stood rigid and motionless, unable to move.
“Lu Yu, you rest and enter the Holy City!” the warrior roared through gritted teeth.
“By you two?”
Lu Yu sneered coldly; the demonic aura around him surged, and all the creatures from the Demon Nest emerged—werewolves, half-human half-monster beings, dragons, and countless grotesque-mouthed monsters, all launching into fierce battle.
The young bald man and his companion were so astonished that they stood there, spellbound.
“This, this is Lu Yu!”
“I used to think I had a chance to become an expert like Lu Yu, but now it seems I was just daydreaming!”
“Don’t miss it, absolutely don’t miss it. A battle like this may never be seen again in the future.”
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, staring intently at the battlefield, already forgetting to run away.
This is power; this is what it means to be a true master.
They used to not know how terrifying the power of the “Uncrowned King” could be.
Some are merely rumors, not witnessed with my own eyes.
This time, they saw it with their own eyes.
The power of seventeen thousand zuns, a body with half-star grade defense.
Lu Yu was nothing short of an invincible killing machine.
Even a casual punch from Lu Yu was like an invisible spear, piercing through the bodies of hundreds of people.
The fearless warrior of the Guai Zui people fought bravely until the very end.
Tens of thousands of warriors could not stand up again; they had all died in battle!
Lu Yu couldn’t help but be moved, filled with deep respect for these humanoid warriors.
But his footsteps did not pause for even a moment, as he once again headed toward the holy city.
This time, there were no humanoid warriors to block the way.
It became quiet along the way, as if the might of Lu Yu had crushed the will to fight from these humanoid warriors.
Behind Lu Yu, the young bald man and others stealthily followed from a distance, daring to trail closely behind.
These people realized that it wasn’t just them; several other teams had also been following Lu Yu all along.
“There are people just like us who are not afraid of death,” the bald young man said in a low voice.
This has nothing to do with them; he just wants to see what Lu Yu is really up to now!
Armor?
What kind of armor is worthy for Lu Yu to assault the human-like race’s holy city?
The cities where the humanoid tribes live are like their own lives.
They had heard countless times the principle that if the city falls, its people fall too, ever since they began trading with the humanoid races.
Any outsider who sets foot in their city must die!
This is the belief of the humanoid race.
Many people were seeing a humanoid city for the first time.
Lu Yu was also seeing such a city for the first time.
Lu Yu had already spotted a building in the city from a distance.
That’s not a building at all; it should be a landmark.
A colossal dragon bone, nearly a million zhang in height, coils at the center of the city, towering close to ten thousand zhang high.
The dragon’s head on the dragon bone was lowered, and the entire dragon bone was golden, looking fierce and terrifying.
Above the dragon’s head, a massive stone tower, hundreds of feet tall, stood towering upward.
Around this dragon’s backbone, various large and complete beast bones stand tall in all directions. Upon these bones, numerous stone and bone-built structures have been constructed, giving the entire scene a somewhat chaotic and eerie atmosphere.
This is the city of the Odd-mouthed people, and those beast bones are the trophies from generations of the Odd-mouthed tribe hunting powerful creatures.
The bones that can stand here belong to beings who, at the very least, possessed the strength of five thousand Zun before their death, for only such power grants one the right to enter this city.
As for the bones near the city center, even the weakest among them would be at least ten thousand in number.
At the center lies the largest ribcage, said to belong to a dragon king. This dragon had entered the Demon Hunter Plains intending to hunt down the humanoid race, but instead, it was devoured alive by an overwhelming number of Goumouths.
In that great battle, the Guizui clan had not a single king, not even a single king’s vassal.
It was precisely such a group of lives that managed to kill a king.
This is a demonstration of how terrifyingly strong the combat power of the Weird Mouth Clan can be.
This Dragon King Bone is their most proud achievement, as important as that armor.
The colossal city stretched endlessly on both sides, with row upon row of beast bones densely packed with warriors of the Strange-mouthed Clan.
That number was even greater and denser than a swarm of locusts covering the sky and the land.
The bald young man and others sat down on the ground in a daze.
As soon as they saw this number, they felt completely overwhelmed.
Is this something a person can face?
