Everyone’s forehead was sweating, even including Fan Tian Luo, who was watching the battle from the rear.
Even the mighty King Bao Lie was suppressed by Lu Yu.
Could it be that Lu Yu has also attained the strength to challenge a true King, rivaling the power of ten thousand?
At this moment, hundreds of waves of poison surged across the battlefield, slamming into the ground and depressing an area hundreds of meters in diameter by nearly a hundred meters, as if a massive sinkhole had suddenly appeared on the earth’s surface.
It was as if a meteorite had struck, leaving a shocking wound on the earth’s surface.
The battlefield was silent all around, with every gaze fixed on the center of the sinkhole.
There was a flicker of green light there.
The warriors and demons on the Indian side let out a cheer, filled with joy and excitement.
Black Tiger can block the venom of the Poisonous Dragon; otherwise, Lu Yu would not stand a chance to win.
The Black Tiger rose from the gravel, shaking off the debris from its fur. With both heads calmly fixed on the venomous dragon in the sky, it said, “You managed to block the Star Annihilation. Let me see if you can withstand the Star Shattering.”
“I’m going to set it; I’m going to decide it,” the heavily armored figure stood in the distant sky, his voice becoming excited and thrilled.
A king capable of standing against the venomous dragon—that was what he had been seeking all along.
Black Tiger spoke, his tone devoid of any emotion. At that moment, the hair all over his body began to change color.
Lu Yu’s tiger-like figure, over a zhang tall, remained unchanged, but his black fur began to change color. It shifted from black to red, a crimson hue as vivid as blood.
“Shattered Star!” someone exclaimed in alarm. “Annihilation Star is already a force capable of rivaling Stellar Artifacts. This Shattered Star must be even more terrifying than the Annihilation Star.”
The Void Spirit King trembled with excitement as he said, “Shattered Star is the power of the Violent King’s destruction. However, there is a legend that even the Violent King’s Shattered Star is not the most powerful. Until today, no one has been able to force him to unleash his ultimate strength.”
“So, in today’s battle, will Lu Yu actually force the Violent King to unleash his ultimate power? I’m really looking forward to it. I’m quite eager to witness the Violent King’s true strength.”
Xu Ling Wang and the others tightly clenched their hands, staring intently at the battlefield without blinking.
They had witnessed the power capable of destroying stars.
If hit, even Lu Yu might not survive.
However, they were confident that if Lu Yu could withstand it, they could as well.
But what about the shattered stars? This is the power said to have destroyed kings. Can it be stopped?
Black Tiger’s entire body hair became increasingly red, even his eyes turned red.
The air around began to swirl and rush into the Black Tiger’s body. The air within a radius of hundreds of zhang around the Black Tiger twisted into a colossal whirlwind stretching straight up to the sky.
The battlefield had long fallen silent, as everyone wanted to witness the power of the shattered stars.
But many people can’t feel it. They’re too weak.
For Xu Ling Wang and others, they felt their hearts twitching and pounding wildly.
Destruction, this is truly a devastating force.
If struck by this blow, an entire royal city from their era would be destroyed.
The venomous dragon in the sky narrowed its eyes, as poisonous gas rolled around its body like thick, dark clouds blotting out the heavens, pressing down towards the earth.
The air grew heavy, and everyone held their breath, anticipating this confrontation.
“Wu!”
Within the Phantom Barrier, a dull horn sound echoed.
The Indians were stunned, but they began to retreat.
“Retreat?!” The blood color on Heihu’s body was fading, and the whirlwind around him was also disappearing.
“Lu Yu, the next time we meet will be the day of your death.” Sheng Mo coldly drew his finger across his throat and began to retreat backward.
“I’m taking your armor,” Wang Bing coldly said, fighting against the heavily armored man.
The armored figure exclaimed excitedly, “Soon, you will all be mine—Black Tiger too. Do you know that the more powerful you are, the happier I become? Because with Abushe’s life belonging to me, you will all become my subordinates, hahaha!”
India’s great army was retreating; out of the original one million soldiers, fewer than eight hundred thousand remained.
Among them, one king was severely injured, and one king was honored in death, while more than a hundred experts who possessed the power of the Hundred Sovereign perished, resulting in extremely heavy losses.
On Lu Yu’s side, the soldiers had also lost over twenty thousand troops, and several Kings Without Crowns were severely injured and unable to fight again in the short term.
The armored side suffered the loss of two King-level experts, along with dozens of experts possessing the strength of ten thousand cultivators, which could indeed be considered a heavy casualty.
All three parties suffered extremely heavy losses.
At this moment, the Void Spirit King cast a cold gaze toward Lu Yu and said, “Eighty billion worth of materials—who will cover the cost? We protected you while you crafted the puppet, yet you actually abandoned the process at the critical moment.”
“I’m out,” Lu Yu said coldly, leaving no room for the Queen of the Xuling to speak further.
Lu Yu continued, “Eighty billion, you say? Are you expecting me to watch my people die?”
The Wolf King coldly snorted and said, “When your people die, are our people not also dying? Two Kings and dozens of experts with the power of ten thousand cultivators—this loss is much greater than yours. Yet this loss has resulted in your defeat. What do you have to say about that?”
“What else do you want me to say?” Lu Yu scoffed coldly. “You’ve only lost a little over a hundred people, while I’ve lost more than twenty thousand. Who has suffered more severely?”
The Wolf King was very dissatisfied and snapped, “They’re merely a group of weak lives; how can you compare them to us?”
“Your life is valuable, but others’ aren’t?” Lu Yu said coldly. “I’ve already said it once: I’ll cover the eight billion credits worth of materials—every single cent. But you, keep your mouth shut and don’t piss me off. Don’t think just because I’ve made a deal with that guy, I won’t lay a hand on you. Push me, and I’ll settle things with him first.”
“Alright, you provide the materials.” The heavily armored figure raised his hand, signaling his people to remain silent. He then turned to Lu Yu and asked, “But what will you do if the soldiers of Abeshe attack again while you’re forging?”
“Last time, I was careless. But this time, it won’t be so simple. Actually, thirty-two puppets would have been enough, but those final eight are still indispensable.”
The Void Spirit King said, “Are you going to leave here to carry out the refinement? Once you leave, I’m afraid their attacks will resume. Although I hate to admit it, your presence here does serve as a certain deterrence. If you leave, Abushe’s attacks will certainly come again.”
Another person said, “War cannot be without death. If you can truly calm your mind and focus on refining it, you might still succeed.”
“So many people have died. This war has already exceeded my expectations. Do you really think I will let my people die like this again?” Lu Yu said.
Lu Yu publicly crafted puppets here, fearing that his enemies might miss his sudden attack.
Moreover, since the forces of the two guardians were both present here, he didn’t believe Abushe would dare to launch an attack.
But he underestimated Abu She’s intuition and determination.
Just as the puppet was being forged, Abu She began his attack instead of waiting any longer.
“It’s probably impossible to create a puppet without using a corpse,” said the man in heavy armor. “Are you planning to take your people away and come back only after the puppet is completed?”
The armored man’s tone quickened as he thought of this.
Because once Lu Yu and his men leave, Abushe’s army will surely be able to counterattack.
In that case, the armored man realized that the people he had brought along would definitely not be enough.
But if he were to gather the remaining forces under his control, the peninsula he had occupied might well be lost.
“Leave? Who said I was leaving?” Lu Yu stared at the group still watching him menacingly from the city and declared, “Since the enemy has set up barriers to keep me out, why can’t I set up barriers to protect my people?”
“What kind of barrier do you plan to set up?” Xu Lingwang and the others’ faces lit up with joy; they had actually forgotten such an important matter.
If there were some kind of barrier to block the attacks, it could at least buy them enough time to finish crafting the last eight puppets.
“Since they have set up the Phantom Barrier, I shall set up my own Phantom Barrier as well.”
Lu Yu said.
“What, do you also understand the construction of the Phantom Barrier!” the Wolf King said in slight astonishment: “That’s impossible. Even I only have a general understanding of the Phantom Barrier; how could you possibly know about it?”
“I understand how to crack something, so naturally I know how to build it. Remember, just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean others don’t either. If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet and see if I can build it!” Lu Yu said no more and began taking out batches of materials from his own storage space.
Abshai’s construction of the Phantom Barrier is considered top-tier, so the value of the materials consumed is enormous.
However, Lu Yu didn’t need something this high-end.
He just needed a phantom barrier that could last for twelve hours.
Moreover, faced with the powerful counterattack of the Phantom Barrier, even if Abu She wanted to strike back, he would have to pay a tremendous price.
Therefore, based on such materials, the total consumption would be around two hundred billion Star Spirit Stones.
Moreover, the method of setting up Phantom Barrier using top-grade materials is quite different from that of ordinary materials, so Lu Yu wasn’t worried about Wolf King and others stealing the technique.
Piles of materials fused together, forming metal rods as thick as a human arm and nearly two feet in length.
These refinements are very simple; it takes about ten or fifteen minutes to refine one.
Thirteen pillars were placed by Lu Yu in thirteen different positions.
As the last pillar pierced into the ground, a pale blue light shield enveloped Lu Yu’s army as well as Xuling King and the others.
Just as the Phantom Veil successfully transformed into the Azure Canopy that enveloped the land, Abusha and others in the distant city were greatly astonished.
The expressions on the faces of Reborn King and the others were extremely unpleasant, yet remarkably vivid.
Lu Yu selected eight sets of materials from his storage space and began refining the final eight puppets.
Abeshe’s expression was extremely grim; his eyes glared at the light shield as if he could kill with his gaze. His hand raised several times, only to fall back down again.
The night sky was ablaze with towering flames, and within the eight pillars of fire reaching into the heavens, the puppets gradually took shape.
This time, the great army of Abu Shah did not move.
Since they have set up the Illusionary Barrier, they must be aware of its effects.
Attacking now would result in at least a hundred thousand deaths, perhaps even more.
Moreover, this might not even be able to stop Lu Yu from refining it.
The armored figure looked at the puppet in the roaring flames, a smile appearing on his face.
He turned his head to look at the city not far away, and everything within it would soon be his.
That two-headed black tiger would be his, along with everything else of Abeshe’s, including his wealth and his legion.
The puppet is becoming more human-like, and has already begun to develop eyebrows, eyes, and facial contours.
The sky became bright, and the sun was moving toward the zenith.
As the flames gradually died down, the puppet transformed into a sculpture and began to solidify.
“Haha.” Xu Ling Wang and the Wolf King laughed, already envisioning the moment the Phantom Barrier would shatter.
Lu Yu merged two puppets, and the Heavy Armored Man also merged two puppets.
The remaining four were distributed.
All forty puppets were completely destroyed.
The atmosphere in the last city had become exceptionally heavy.
They heard laughter and guessed that the other party had definitely finished.
Abshar snarled fiercely, “Lu Yu, if you’re willing to back out, there’s still a chance.”
The heavily armored man laughed loudly and said, “A Bushe, you’re about to die—what more do you want to say? You don’t have another chance.”
Abu became furious and said, “If you won’t leave, then none of you will leave.”
The heavily armored figure said, “Once the Phantom Barrier is broken, it will be you who dies. Abushe, your life is mine—don’t let yourself be killed by someone else.”
Lu Yu said coldly, “What’s the point of talking to him? How long are you going to keep wasting time? Everything is ready, it’s time to end this.”
Lu Yu, speaking, took a step forward and leaped straight into the sky.
Boom!
The ten-thousand-zhang-long Rift Heaven Wings unfolded.
“Break through your Phantom Barrier first!” The armored figure also sprang into action, his steel wings trembling as he soared straight into the sky.
