Fan Tianluo appeared very calm.
His heart was already churning with boundless waves, to the point where his blood seemed on the verge of congealing.
To fully construct all three tiers of the domain, one would need at least more than 200 billion Star Spirit Stones, not including various other expenses.
And after completing all these, Lu Yu still had a fortune of three trillion in his hands.
Even kings could not gather such vast wealth.
However, money cannot represent true strength. The ability to withstand the apocalypse tide still depends on one’s actual power.
No father wants his daughter to spend her entire life with an ordinary man.
Moreover, he could tell from Lu Yu’s tone that his daughter might also be a contender for the throne in the near future, so he wanted to see just how much power and influence Lu Yu actually had.
“Then we still have to go back!”
Lu Yu smiled and walked back with Fantian Luo.
The two walked along, and Lu Yu took the opportunity to explain in detail the structure of this world and various aspects of it.
Fan Tian Luo listened attentively.
He suddenly came to a stop. Although there was only one level, he instinctively noticed something different around him.
He saw several men and women gathered around a small stall, haggling with the vendor over prices.
“If my senses aren’t mistaken, these few individuals are all kings without crowns. Moreover, their strength—” Fan Tianluo was quite astonished, his eyelids twitching violently.
These few individuals have already reached the Ten-Thousand Sovereigns realm; no, one of them has even surpassed the limit of Ten-Thousand Sovereigns, possessing at least the strength of eleven thousand sovereigns.
It is already quite remarkable for an era to witness the rise of a single uncrowned king.
What stood before them were several uncrowned kings, each already fully grown and matured.
These people are now qualified to fight against Wang Zun, who has not yet regained his peak strength.
These men and women also noticed someone watching them from behind and couldn’t help but turn around.
“Haha, so the leader is here,” one of the tall men laughed, stepping forward and pulling Lu Yu over. “Quick, quick, help me buy this item. I just need this material to evolve my ability.”
“What did you call him?” Fan Tianluo was confused.
The uncrowned kings are a proud bunch, not easily bowing their heads.
Moreover, the tall figure speaking in front was actually a 10,000-dignitary-level expert who addressed Lu Yu as “leader.” This seemed to be the opposite of what it should be.
Lu Yu had the strength of only seven thousand and five hundred尊.
“Chief?” The big man looked at Fantian Luo and frowned. “Sometimes we just call him by his name directly; that’s fine, right? Oh, I know you’re an outsider. Heh heh, can’t blame you for that. But once you’ve stayed in Fanggang for a while, you’ll understand.”
“We sometimes call him Mr. Lu too, but you can really call him whatever you like,” a young girl giggled, stretching out her hand in front of Lu Yu. “Hurry up and give me the money. I’ve got my eyes on a few things, and it should cost around ten billion star spirit stones.”
The big guy immediately shouted as well, saying, “Mine also costs two billion star spirit stones. It’s perfect that I ran into you here; otherwise, I would’ve had to go looking for Liu Xing.”
“In a critical moment like this, you’re not resting properly but actually came here to go shopping.” Lu Yu looked at them with a bitter smile.
Vasantasena felt dizzy, wondering why something felt so off.
Although these uncrowned kings joked and played around with Lu Yu, they didn’t treat him as their leader at all.
Yet in the eyes of these people, he could see a deep reverence for Lu Yu.
It’s not like the King to be so generous as to hand out three hundred billion Star Spirit Stones so casually.
However, without even thinking, Lu Yu transferred two hundred billion from his own storage space into the woman’s storage space, and then poured another three hundred billion into the big man’s space.
“Storage space!”
Fan Tianluo took a deep breath, looking at Lu Yu and then at the others.
This is something that only a king possesses, and not every king has it.
Surprisingly, all the people in front of him had it too.
What surprised Brahma Rao the most was that he had already determined that Lu Yu was no ordinary person.
“This is the father of Huowu,” Lu Yu said, looking at Fan Tian Luo and introducing the group. “These are the warriors I have resurrected—Yang Lie, Fang Hua, Fenghuang Wu…”
Lu Yu introduced each one.
When the group learned who Fantian Luo was, their attitude immediately became extremely respectful.
“Senior, I didn’t expect it to be you,” Yang Lie said, scratching his head and chuckling foolishly. “The leader didn’t give me a heads-up beforehand, so I wasn’t prepared. I’ve embarrassed myself, terribly embarrassed myself.”
“Haha. These are trivial matters.” Fan Tianluo laughed and said, “You call Lu Yu ‘leader’ and show great respect to this young kid. Is it because your strength is inferior to his, or is it merely due to his status as a guardian?”
“Of course we can’t defeat him,” Feng Huangwu said, glancing at Lu Yu without holding back. “Not long ago, the leader had another outburst, but at least it wasn’t directed at us. If it had been, even if we all joined forces, he would have killed us without hesitation.”
“Uh!”
Fan Tian Luo felt that it sounded like an exaggeration no matter how he listened to it.
Being able to single-handedly suppress several individuals with the strength of ten thousand sovereigns, this seems to be more than just talk, right?
“Senior, you really have to believe me,” said Fang Hua. “Don’t let Mr. Lu’s easygoing appearance fool you. When he truly loses his temper, he becomes even fiercer than a wild beast. Moreover, I’m sure he hasn’t told you—he’s actually the inheritor of the Killing Star Soul among the Nine Great Mutated Star Souls.”
“You—” This was the most surprised Brahma had ever been in his entire life.
A successor of the Murderous Star Soul, one person capable of suppressing several uncrowned kings, and doing so while their cultivation base is over two thousand ranks lower. This is simply unbelievable.
“I’m starting to want to see your strength,” Fan Tianluo said, looking at Lu Yu and scanning him up and down.
What others say is just their own perspective; it’s only one side of the story.
He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
“Senior, I know what you’re worried about,” Lu Yu said earnestly. “There’s still a month left. In a month, you will see the results. During this time, I need to make some preparations because I have something important to do.”
“Yeah. That works.” Fan Tianluo nodded and said, “I’ll also use this month to restore my strength.”
“Please come back to the city with me first; I have something I need to give you,” Lu Yu said, leading Fan Tianluo back to the core area once again.
This time, he granted Brahma Rao access to the core domain.
In the center of the grand hall of that tavern, a pitch-black spherical orb floated there, gently rotating.
There is a small copper figure standing motionless at the base of the sphere.
“Hmm?” Fan Tianlu felt his pupils suddenly contract. As soon as he saw the orb, he realized something unusual about the black sphere.
Lu Yu has such strict control over the core areas that whatever is here must certainly be no ordinary item.
Especially when he saw, around the hall, four warriors clad in black cloaks and heavy armor standing motionless at each of the four corners.
“The breath of King Wang!” Brahma Lo was no longer surprised, but utterly stunned.
The weaker one is, the more sensitive they become to the presence of strength.
Because even a slight trace of a strong individual’s aura, when released, can appear as vast as an ocean to those who are weaker.
The breaths of these four warriors were just like this, and each faint breath that landed on Fan Tianluo was so clear.
Definitely the aura of a king.
He has not yet returned to the throne.
But these four soldiers are definitely kings, there’s no doubt about it!
Fan Tianluo felt it was too extravagant, his voice trembling slightly as he said, “You, you’re using a king to protect this pearl.”
It’s not to mention how strong the uncrowned king outside is.
These four kings appearing on this land would be enough to shake the entire era.
And here, they are only responsible for guarding the small bronze figures and the black spheres.
Lu Yu picked up the small bronze figurine, gesturing for Fan Tianluo to drip a drop of blood onto it, explaining that this would create a puppet substitute.
Fan Tian Luo looked at the manufactured substitute, barely suppressing his inner doubts as he asked, “I won’t ask about this little copper figure for now. Just tell me what this bead is.”
Lu Yu said, “The Pearl of the Treasure Vault!”
“You, you—” Bhairava could no longer find words to describe his feelings.
With a heart not strong enough, I would have been scared to death long ago.
Fan Tianluo felt his heart becoming stronger and stronger as Lu Yu refined it.
It took Fan Tian Luo quite a while to compose himself before he finally said, “You even possess the Treasure Vault Pearl—just how far have you progressed?”
“Do you think I can use these to hold off the first wave of the apocalypse!”
“Three layers of domains, four kings, plus the King without a crown—I think that’s enough. But will it be sufficient to survive the first wave?”
Lu Yu said seriously, “My strength is not limited to this. If you truly wish to see, in one month you will witness one-third of my entire military force.”
Fan Tian Luo hesitated and said, “I’ve heard you mention ‘one month’ before, and now you’re saying it again. What will happen after one month?”
“I am a guardian, so a war between guardians is inevitable. Therefore—” Lu Yu took a deep breath and said, “One month from now, there will be a war between guardians.”
“The war among the Guardians, you—” Brahma Lo didn’t want to say anything else, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
He was too astonished.
“Okay, in one month, I look forward to seeing just how powerful your one-third of the troops can be. Of course, I mainly want to see you, so don’t disappoint me.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Senior. I definitely won’t let you down.”
“My cultivation level has dropped to the first stage, so I need to rewalk the path I took before. Therefore, for this month, I won’t be staying in the city. I’m going to leave the city and take a look around.”
“Wait,” Lu Yu called out to Fan Tianluo, then took out a small bottle. “This is a drop of evolution medicine. It can transform you directly into a Supreme Being and also evolve your body. You can take it now and instantly enhance your power, or you can choose another path. A King taught me a cultivation method suitable for your current state, which can significantly strengthen your abilities. Which option do you prefer?”
“An evolution pill? The cultivation method of a King?” Fan Tianluo realized that Lu Yu seemed to possess countless techniques, each one astonishing beyond belief.
“Would you mind telling me which King Wang you’re referring to?”
“She calls herself Xue Ji, and I don’t really know much about her,” Lu Yu said, shaking his head.
Brahmalo thought for a long time but still couldn’t figure out which queen Snow姬 was, leaving him no choice but to shake his head helplessly.
“Give me the cultivation method; I won’t spread it to others,” said Fan Tiana Luo.
…
On a pitch-black night, Lu Yu walked out of the city.
The first day of the ten-day weakening period would be used by him to strengthen his Star Soul once again.
He bypassed those weaker lives directly, searching for lives at the Demon Lord level.
He was looking forward to whether his star soul would evolve again after this period of weakness!
A month later, the war was no longer merely a battle among guardians; he intended to prove himself and gain recognition from Fantian Luo.
Even for Huowu, he must demonstrate his might to the entire world!
