Chapter 615: A Huge Bargain

Lu Yu revived the Violent King because of their future cooperation.

King Bao Lie also clearly understood his current identity. The cooperation was because of his strength and his abilities.

But this was not enough. What he sought was true freedom, and the immense power capable of traversing the tidal wave of the apocalypse.

Therefore, he needs to resurrect many people to enhance his own strength.

Lu Yu had seen too many such expressions to know exactly what the Violent King was thinking. He couldn’t help but nod with a smile and said, “As long as it poses no threat to me, I can be resurrected.”

“At the beginning, what must be revived are the three Kings you killed. Because they are the controllers of my Demon Beast Legion, and without them, it’s impossible for one person alone to control the entire Demon Beast Legion.”

Lu Yu immediately recalled the scene on the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of beast demons transformed into beams of bloody light and merged into the body of the暴烈王. He asked in confusion, “Is your body a nest? Or was that one of your skills when you became a king?”

The Tyrant King said, “That is the Royal Nest, second only to my King-making ability. It is my creation, my legion of life. However, it isn’t yet complete. As my power increases, the lives within the Royal Nest will gradually awaken. Finally, when I become the King, all the lives within the Royal Nest will awaken completely. But at that time, I myself won’t be able to control all the beast demons—they are too numerous. Thus, three Royal Kings must each control a portion, while I control the three Royal Kings.”

“What’s the quantity?” Lu Yu asked, his heart slightly startled.

Aren’t hundreds of thousands of Fae beasts enough?

What a huge number that would be!

The Tyrant of Fury said solemnly, “Two million Beast Demon legions, with ten thousand of them possessing the strength of ten thousand men!”

“Huh!” Lu Yu exhaled sharply, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

He is a mighty king, and he is too terrifying.

By that time, humanity might have been completely suppressed or even no longer exist.

One King, three Supreme Beings, and one hundred thousand Supreme Beasts each possessing the power of a King. How many Kings in existence could possibly command such an immense force?

Lu Yu didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Tell me the names of the three Kings. When I recover, I will bring them back to life one by one.”

The Tyrant King nodded and said, “Alright.”

“Is there anyone else who wants me to bring someone back to life?”

“Yes, this is a king!” Violent King’s four eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “It is my only friend, perhaps—”

The Violent King shook his head and sighed, “Forget it. For now, I’ll just resurrect my three Kings first. However—” The Violent King stared intently at Lu Yu, his expression turning serious, “You’ve provided me with so much and paid such a great price. Do you expect me to become like your sworn guardian? If one day you die, do you want us to protect your loved ones?”

Lu Yu nodded solemnly, “I don’t want such a day to come. But if that day does arrive, I hope you can promise me one thing. I can meet any condition you have; all I ask is that you protect my family after I’m gone.”

“If you can grant me true freedom, I might consider this condition,” the King of Fury replied proudly.

He is the king and does not easily make promises to others.

Even a king has his dignity. Once he agrees to this condition, it means he will have to spend his entire life in protection.

Such a promise is too heavy.

Whether the fierce Violent King will agree to this condition depends on how much Lu Yu is willing to pay and whether it meets his demands.

A smile appeared on Lu Yu’s face.

The fact that the Violent King did not object proves that he still has a chance.

At this moment, the Violent King spoke: “You once told me that if I could enter the core area of Fanggang, you would tell me all of Fanggang’s secrets. Do I now have the qualification to know?”

“Yes!” Lu Yu nodded, leading the Violent King out of the starry sky.

After granting the Violent King access to the core domain, he led the Violent King into the only building located within that core domain.

As soon as the Violent King entered the domain, he was drawn in by the auras of the four kings standing at the four corners of the grand hall.

“There’s actually another king in this realm,” Violent King said in terror, twisting his head to look at Lu Yu. “Just how many kings at your side have yet to fully restore their peak strength?”

“I’ll answer that question for you later,” Lu Yu smiled. “These are all secrets that you’re meant to know.”

“Then why did you bring me here? What are you trying to tell me?” the Violent King asked in confusion, his four eyes scanning the grand hall. His gaze locked onto the Treasure Vault Pearl, then shifted to the corpse puppet beneath it. He exclaimed in shock, “What? You’ve actually obtained the corpse puppet!”

“You know about the dead puppets!”

This time, it was Lu Yu’s turn to look at the Violent King in surprise.

The origin of this two-headed mutated tiger seems to be no simple matter!

This is something from the Tombs of the Kings; it seems unlikely that much information about it should have leaked out.

“I’ve heard some rumors before, but I thought it was just a legend. I never expected it to be true!” the Violent King looked at Lu Yu and said, “Is it really possible for a Death Puppet to turn Royal Blood into a puppet? Oh, it must be true. After all, those Kings of yours are probably Royal Blood Puppets, right?”

Lu Yu nodded with a smile and said, “That’s right. They’re all King’s Blood puppets. There’s the Sky-Sundering King’s, the Ten-Thousand-Snake King’s, and I just recently obtained the Rebirth King’s King’s Blood, which will soon transform into another King’s Blood puppet as well. Their power will grow alongside their original counterparts.”

“Amazing,” the Violent King said, circling the dead puppet a few times before finally setting his gaze on the treasure within the vault. “I didn’t expect this time’s vault pearl to be in your hands.”

“You know about the Treasure Vault Pearl as well?” Lu Yu was surprised once again.

Violent King is truly remarkable, knowing many secrets that other kings might not necessarily know.

“That’s because I am also one of the owners of the Treasure Vault Pearl.” The Violent King’s claw lightly touched the Treasure Vault Pearl, causing it to gently spin in the air.

Lu Yu was no longer startled; he simply shook his head and smiled.

This Violent King was truly extraordinary. Perhaps his era was just as remarkable as well.

The Violent King was quite pleased as he said, “It seems this time I’ve chosen the right partner. Territory, the Pearl of the Treasure Vault, and the Death Puppet—these treasures of yours should be more than enough to help you slay the Armored Man. If even these cannot ensure victory, I truly don’t know who else could win the Guardian’s War. As for the remaining secrets, I won’t ask how many you’ve still hidden away. This much is enough.”

The Tyrant King nodded, clearly satisfied.

“Then, have we reached an agreement?”

“The terms of cooperation are acceptable. But let me protect your family, and we’ll see after you grant me my freedom.”

Lu Yu said confidently, “I will definitely restore your freedom.”

“Abushe had said the same thing before. Unfortunately, though, Abushe is dead now.” The violent king was not being sarcastic; he was simply stating a fact, demonstrating an extremely rational side. He had transcended beastly instincts and had become even more rational than a human.

“This dead puppet still has one more ability—it can grant you an extra life…” Lu Yu explained briefly.

The Tyrant King’s eyes flickered as he scrutinized the corpse puppet once again.

After leaving behind a puppet avatar in this core domain, the Violent King also entrusted Lu Yu with twenty drops of his own blood.

This marks the official establishment of the collaboration.

The Violent King left Fanggang, carrying the medicine prepared by Lu Yu, and went in search of prey to cultivate his skills.

Lu Yu also left Fanggang to search for prey and cultivate in the plains outside the city.

Now, even the ultimate life force of the Devil King cannot harm him anymore.

The Tenth Day —

“The Shapeshifting Star Soul evolution has begun, with an evolution progress of thirteen percent!”

“Star Soul Body Cultivation Technique has reached 0.11% completion!”

It is extremely difficult for the two abilities to evolve.

However, the Murder Star Soul did not undergo any further mutations.

Lu Yu glanced once more at the name Abushe in the war mode.

His name was still up there; no one had taken him away.

In these ten days, he saw Abu She’s name disappear at least three times, but it always came back in the end.

No guardian can control Abshē.

The Tyrant King has returned, and its rate of evolution is horrifying.

In just ten days, the strength of ten men.

Lu Yu brought the King of Fury into the starry expanse of the core realm, where he could use the Star-Calling Art without any limit.

Violent King stood beside him, sensing the surging power of the stars in the sky at every moment.

Time passed day by day. After thirty-six days, the Violent King let out a mighty roar. The shockwave from his roar shattered the void, and a massive cascade of starlight descended from the heavens, landing upon the Violent King’s body.

Boom!

The King’s aura surged instantly from ten to three thousand, making the King’s presence even more intense.

“Haha!” the fierce king shouted excitedly, his roar echoing like a tiger’s.

He has finally mastered a skill that even the king envies.

“This is the power of the Star-Calling Art. It’s truly formidable,” Violent King laughed loudly. “Lu Yu, I never expected you’d be so generous as to teach me the Art itself.”

“As long as it benefits me, I won’t hesitate to use anything in my hand,” Lu Yu said, habitually opening the war mode interface, only to find that Abu She’s name had disappeared.

“Revived again, huh?” Lu Yu chuckled. “There sure are a lot of people who refuse to give up, still trying to get secrets out of Abu She?”

Lu Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes and gazed silently at the area for the first level. Inside, Abu She’s name竟然竟然 ranked fifty-seventh.

“The armored figure revived Abshe, only to make Abshe commit suicide again?” Lu Yu’s heart pounded with excitement as he looked at the Violent King and asked, “Is there any way to restrict a person’s actions so thoroughly that even suicide becomes impossible?”

“Yes. But it can’t exceed my abilities, only be below them.”

“Haha, that’s enough,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “We’ve gotten a great deal. When I resurrect Abu She, don’t let him die again. If we can get the method to restore your freedom from Abu She while we’re here, I’ll set you free right away!”

Abshai has been resurrected.

When the armored figure revived him, he possessed only the strength of a level one cultivator.

The moment he saw the heavily armored figure, he understood what had happened and chose to take his own life.

He has done this so many times that even he himself has lost count.

This time, however, his eyes lit up, and the fury in his gaze when he saw Lu Yu was terrifying enough to seem capable of devouring living beings.

Abushe opened his mouth, wanting to commit suicide.

He found himself unable to move. He tried to bite his tongue by opening his mouth, but his strength was too limited to accomplish it.

Abeshe reacted faster, instinctively attempting to harness the power within to self-destruct.

However, he found that he could no longer use any of his skills.

“Lu Yu, do you also want to get information from me? Dream on,” Abu She glared with fiery eyes. How could he possibly utter a single word to the enemy he hated?

Lu Yu smiled and said, “You don’t have to speak; I will find other ways to make you talk. You don’t even have the strength to kill yourself—do you really think you can resist me?”

Abushe’s face suddenly changed!
