Vast and boundless mountains, majestic and towering peaks!
Mountains several thousand meters high are densely clustered together; such a sight is absolutely impossible to see on the land of China.
Besides the Demon Hunting Plains, Lu Yu couldn’t think of any other place that resembled this terrain.
Who is the Guardian?
Lu Yu glanced around and noticed that, aside from himself, none of the hundreds of people present had star souls exceeding the Star Lord level.
Moreover, all of these people are very young.
Some were younger than him, while others were nearly his age.
Of course, this is only the age on the surface.
Since entering the post-apocalyptic world, Lu Yu’s appearance has remained unchanged, although his actual age is much older.
However, in today’s world, it’s nearly impossible to determine someone’s real age.
Among these people, Lu Yu did not spot any warriors at the Zunzhi level, so he couldn’t understand what was meant by “guardian.”
“What, you don’t have a guardian?” said the young man who had first mocked Lu Yu. “Then how did you get here? Don’t tell me you crossed dozens of beast groups by yourself and just happened to be lucky enough to get in alone.”
Someone suddenly realized, “Oh, I get it. This place doesn’t prohibit teleportation. If someone could teleport with enough precision, they could enter here. Just now, I noticed he seemed to appear out of nowhere; he must have teleported in. However, teleporting with such accuracy is nearly impossible. He probably teleported randomly and accidentally ended up here.”
“Only level one? Are you not afraid of dying by coming here?” Someone looked Lu Yu up and down, advising kindly, “Friend, don’t be curious. This is not a place for someone like you.”
“What’s going on here?” Lu Yu asked in surprise, looking at the stone door. “Is there something valuable inside?”
“Haha.”
Several people laughed loudly and said, “Friend, do you think this is some ordinary place? It’s difficult for regular people to pass through here. If you were lucky enough to be teleported in, consider yourself fortunate.”
Another person laughed, “There are plenty of treasures inside this stone door. However, this is not a place you can enter.”
“Let’s go. You’ll die if you enter at your current level.”
Just as they were speaking, a commotion arose in the distance.
“The Bai Xiaofei from the Celestial organization is here!” Someone shouted, and the next moment, several people around Lu Yu immediately dropped him and left.
Two Supreme Beings, each possessing the strength of seven thousand Zuns, entered this area accompanied by a teenager around seventeen or eighteen years old.
The young man wore a bright smile, greeting everyone in a friendly manner.
Someone said, “I heard that Bai Xiaofei took the evolution drug when he was eight years old, and later underwent potential development. It’s said that his potential development has reached seventy-five percent!”
One person exclaimed in astonishment, “Good heavens, this can’t be for real! Developing potential up to seventy-five percent? Isn’t he practically becoming a superhero?”
“He is still at the Star Lord level now. I heard that he wants to try another way to break through to the Sovereign level. However, even without being a Sovereign yet, he already has the strength to fight against a Sovereign with the power of ten heavens.”
Gasps of cold air could be heard from all around.
Everyone looked at Bai Xiaofei with a strange expression.
After bringing Bai Xiaofei inside, the two powerful Zun masters gave a few parting instructions before finally leaving.
As soon as Bai Xiaofei arrived, the atmosphere became lively.
At this moment, cheers erupted from afar: “He’s coming, he’s coming. The son of the Australian Howling King has arrived. The Howling King himself is here too.”
Shouts and screams echoed through the sky as a brown-haired, green-eyed youth, accompanied by a middle-aged man with brown hair, also arrived in this area.
The howling king, Lu Yu, with a single roar that shook and destroyed an entire city, remains to this day the only king.
It was precisely because he killed the Guardian and the King with a single, earth-shattering roar that he earned the title of “Xiao Sha” (Roaring Slayer).
His original name was Richard, but almost no one calls him that anymore.
The first King of the End Times, he belongs to humanity.
This King Zun was not particularly tall or muscular, not even considered robust.
However, the overbearing aura emanating from this person was unparalleled.
After he killed the guardian in Australia, he personally visited several powerful kings.
Kings such as the King of Rebirth, the King of Hell, and the Heavens-Tearing King have all engaged in battle with this尊贵王 (Honored King).
The true royal dignity and the power of myriad kings are vastly different.
Richard faced these kings, each of whom possessed overwhelming power.
Although none of the kings used the ultimate power of their king-making abilities, their other king-level powers were completely powerless against Richard.
The true King Zun stood before them, and his invincible power finally made people understand the difference between heaven and earth.
Richard had originally attempted to kill the guardians of several other countries after he murdered his own country’s guardian and took their place.
After killing two guardians in succession, he also slayed a king of a country.
This made all the guardians and kings feel the crisis.
Richard is attempting to sweep across the world by leveraging his overwhelming strength, revealing the Australian military’s ambitions and Richard’s formidable power to many people.
Therefore, as Richard was about to strike for the fourth time, guardians from all around the world took action together, and countless powerful legions turned their attention toward Australia.
Even powerful kings like the King of Hell could not wait any longer and personally led their armies toward Australia.
It was only then that Richard became serious.
After all, he was only one person and could not stand against the entire world.
Therefore, Richard reached agreements with various countries and factions in Australia.
Richard will not strike again, at least not against the weak. But if someone provokes him, he still reserves the right to fight back.
In this way, Richard remains the most powerful person in the world.
No matter how powerful the strength of ten thousand Zun might be, it pales in comparison to the might of a King Zun.
Therefore, the brown-haired boy was very proud to have such a father, but now, while staying close to Richard, he was obedient, listening carefully to his father’s teachings.
Only when the youth looked at others, his gaze obviously carried a hint of disdain.
After Richard appeared, many Sovereigns who were on distant mountain peaks hurried over.
Lu Yu finally understood what a Guardian was.
The surrounding areas of these mountains are certainly inhabited by numerous wild beasts, making it very difficult to enter.
Even those at the Star Lord level like them would probably find it hard to get close.
Therefore, they can’t enter without the protection of a powerful supreme guardian.
Coming in alone would make these people feel suspicious.
“Remember, once you’re in, everything depends on yourself. What you can get depends on how far you can go,” Richard said in conclusion, though his tone was rather arrogant.
This world is vast, and there are many truly powerful individuals.
The brown-haired boy kept nodding, yet his expression was full of disdain.
Sighing, Richard looked at the boy with great affection and said, “When I get the chance, I’ll take you to meet Lu Yu. You’re far too arrogant.”
“Father, since you’ve already become a King Revered, are you still afraid of that person from Huaxia?” the young boy said discontentedly, “Even if he is powerful, he’s merely at the level of Ten Thousand Revered; he’s still far inferior to you.”
“I’m not afraid of him, but when you see him, you’ll understand some things. But do you really think having seventy-nine percent of your potential developed is something to be proud of? There are many people in this world stronger than you,” Richard said finally, “Will, remember this: after you get inside, don’t make too many enemies. No matter how strong you are, you’re still just one person; if attacked by a group, you won’t be able to escape.”
The young man said impatiently, “Don’t worry. With my strength, I don’t believe anyone can kill me.”
Richard gave the young man a few more warnings before turning around and leaving together with many other powerful figures.
However, the conversation between the two people was still overheard by many.
Seventy-nine percent of potential development, even higher than Bai Xiaofei.
As soon as Richard left, Will’s demeanor became even more haughty.
With a father as revered as King Zun, he had every right to strike such a pose.
Some people moved toward Will, hoping to get closer to him.
There were people from China, Korea, America, and so on.
The people who come here are all geniuses from around the world.
Lu Yu still hasn’t figured out exactly what’s going on here.
But it should be about to open soon.
Because quite a few more people have arrived.
One of them was a young girl from Huaxia, around seventeen or eighteen years old.
The person who sent him here was quite ordinary, with a cultivation level not exceeding three thousand zong.
The girl was very lovely, with a delicate oval face, a long ponytail, and dressed in a pure white shirt and pants, looking fresh and charming.
She smiled a lot and greeted everyone she met with great enthusiasm, which made many people couldn’t help but take a second glance at her.
Even Wei Er couldn’t help but reveal an entranced expression as he approached the young girl.
However, at this moment, the beast patterns on the stone door began to emerge from nothingness, gradually glowing brighter.
“It has begun,” many people immediately pulled their thoughts together and started walking towards the stone door.
Someone looked at Lu Yu and said, “I’m telling you, don’t even think about coming in here—it’s not a place your current strength can handle. If you want to enter, wait until you reach the Star Lord level.”
“Thank you for the reminder. I just want to go inside and take a look.”
“Hmph, don’t blame us if you die from not listening to our advice,” someone said discontentedly. “Curiosity kills the cat—that’s exactly what I’m talking about.”
Hundreds of people gradually made their way toward the stone gate. When they approached to within about half a zhang of the gate, darkness suddenly surged out from the stone gate, enveloping the crowd and pulling them inside.
Lu Yu also walked over and was similarly engulfed and pulled into the darkness.
When light returned to Lu Yu’s vision, he found himself standing on a vast plain, where grass about a foot high swayed gently in the breeze…
The sky here is clear and cloudless, with a strong scent of earth and green grass.
Not far away is a vast lake, on the edge of which a few small trees stand alone, growing in isolation.
A dozen or so hares were drinking water in front of the lake.
When they noticed the human who had suddenly appeared beside them, they were so startled that they all scattered and ran off in different directions.
It’s too quiet here; I can’t help but feel that even the killing intent and fighting spirit in my heart are about to be dispelled.
Before everyone’s eyes, a blurry figure suddenly appeared and said, “Welcome to the Beast Battlefield. Here, for every wave of beast tide you survive, you can receive generous rewards. Upon entry, you will receive ten thousand grade-one star spirit stones.”
“Divine being?” Lu Yu was taken aback, and as he saw the indistinct figure, his heart quivered.
But when he looked more carefully, he noticed that this shadow was somewhat different from the deity of the Hunting Plains who had granted him the status of Guardian.
An additional storage pearl appeared in front of each person, and inside each storage pearl, there was exactly ten thousand grade-one star spirit stones.
“With just entering once, there’s already such a reward. If I enter repeatedly, wouldn’t I earn a fortune in light essence stones?” Lu Yu murmured to himself while holding the storage pearl.
“You’re thinking too much,” laughed one of Lu Yu’s companions. “This place only opens once a month; you’re lucky enough just to have entered. Besides, if you die before the end of each wave of beast attacks, you lose your life and all your rewards. Do you think this is easy?”
“Top tier, your luck is really bad this time. As soon as you step in, you’ll just be waiting to die. Or, if you can run fast enough to escape after the first wave of the beast tide, I’ll give you credit for that.”
The girl with the ponytail stood not far from Lu Yu. She kindly stepped forward and said, “Now that you have ten thousand star spirit stones, you can try summoning a guardian to assist you.”
