Chapter 580: Suppressing the King and the King’s Reverence

The starlight was obscured.

One by one, blinding blue beams shot forth, dazzling and deadly.

A beam splits the sky, piercing through heaven and earth, as one hundred thousand rays of light converge onto a patch of land no more than a hundred zhang in diameter.

Five thousand warriors were pierced through by the radiant light. A hundred armored warriors let out a strange, resonant howl, and their armor coalesced into layers of luminous shields that enveloped the crystal pillar.

These rays of light were pierced layer by layer beneath the sky-splitting beams.

Over a hundred layers of light were shattered in a single strike.

Boom!

The mysterious figure has made a move.

He blocked the sky-splitting beam, swept his palm, and countless beams of black light collided with the sky-splitting beam.

Black and blue lights shattered in the void.

A portion of the light beam struck the tall, burly man.

“Destroy!” the giant man roared in fury, raising his hand and punching toward the void. Cracks surged forth, blocking the beam of light.

“Break!” Lu Yu raised his hand into the air and struck a punch toward the direction of the big man.

Boom!

The cracks collided with each other, and all the void cracks vanished.

“What? Wang Zun’s power can cancel each other out,” the big man exclaimed in shock, but his body was already struck by the splitting air beam.

Tens of thousands of beams of light fell upon the giant man, and his skin transformed into a metallic luster.

The blue light struck the giant man’s body and shattered into countless fragments of blue light.

This was the first sweeping wave of light, and yet with just this single surge, the beams of light gathered within a hundred-zhang radius like a violent storm, exerting such immense pressure that the spectators at a distance could barely catch their breath.

This was the first time the soldiers of the Nine-Tower City witnessed Lu Yu’s attack.

The density, the range, and the power of the attacks were all pressing down on their nerves.

They didn’t even have time to blink their eyes.

Fast, incredibly fast.

Just as the first Rift Beam was breaking away from the Rift Wings—

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Once again, three rounds of crackling beams, separated by less than 0.1 seconds, shot out from the glowing orb above the Heaven-Sundering Wings, streaking toward the crystal pillar.

So fast it takes your breath away, so fast it scares you.

A beam of light pressed down from the sky like a thick curtain of radiance.

The giant Han had no time to react and was hit by three consecutive attacks, causing cracks to appear on his metal-like skin.

A single beam of light equates to Lu Yu’s full-strength attack. Even a giant would be unable to withstand tens of thousands of such strikes hitting simultaneously.

Those five thousand warriors couldn’t even react; as soon as they revived, they were pierced by beams of light and crushed into bloody pulp.

A mysterious figure stood in front of the crystal pillar, with faint threads of light connecting to over a hundred armored warriors.

A layer of light shield began to form around the mysterious figure and the crystal pillar. Every second, hundreds of thousands of layers of light shields were created, as if a small dome were completely isolating the crystal pillar.

These light shields folded densely, becoming thicker like crystal glass, with multicolored glimmers flashing between them.

At the same time, the mysterious figure let out a loud shout, breaking free from the light shield and rushing forward to meet the sky-splitting beam heading towards Lu Yu.

“There’s still strength to rush up here.” Lu Yu, mid-air, his eyes blazing with icy cold light.

“Buzz!”

Infinite waves of demonic energy surged from his body as the Demon Nest was unleashed.

Half-human, half-creature beings, fierce werewolves, and the six-headed dragon surged out from the mist of magic energy, rushing toward the mysterious figure.

“Not enough,” the mysterious figure said, raising a hand and sweeping away all the lives within the魔巢, shattering them into nothingness.

Splash!

Within the demonic aura, over ten thousand blades of slaughter descended like a rain of swords, piercing downward alongside the fissure beam.

The Nest of Demons’ life force, the Void-Sundering Beam, and over ten thousand blades of slaughter—these three mighty skills were unleashed together toward the mysterious figure.

The mysterious figures who had just ascended into the sky were all forced downward, crashing back to the ground.

“You say it’s not enough? Aren’t these sufficient?” Lu Yu did not reply. With a raised hand, he struck down again, sending a wave of toxic gas along with Wang Zun’s power sweeping across the land.

The soldiers more than ten miles away were already stunned.

The battlefield in their eyes seemed to be boiling, with surging demonic energy and multicolored lights repeatedly shattering the earth.

“Ahh!”

A towering giant roared furiously and charged toward the sky, but was immediately suppressed within the first moment.

Can’t move anymore.

Lei Tao’s heart constricted, a sense of suffocation overwhelming him, as he trembled and whispered, “Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. The power of the group battle isn’t merely capable of fighting a King—it’s actually suppressing both the King and the King’s Vassal.”

“Captain, you once mentioned Lu Yu’s ability in group battles. Is this… is this really Lu Yu’s power in a group fight?”

“A terrifying area attack skill. A force like this could easily level an entire city.”

Lei Tao’s expression turned serious as he said, “We were all wrong. We’ve all misunderstood. Or rather, Lu Yu never used his full strength before. This is the terrifying sight of Lu Yu attacking with his utmost power.”

They were talking among themselves when enthusiastic cheers began to erupt between the surrounding skyscrapers.

Countless warriors became extremely excited.

The idol in their hearts, the human wall that tens of thousands couldn’t breach, was destroyed. Even the King and the King’s尊 (Venerable One) were forced to take action.

“Not enough, still not enough. With this, you can’t even break through my defense to destroy the crystal pillar.”

“Not enough, is it?” Lu Yu inhaled sharply, the rift wings behind him rustling noisily, as a crimson light flickered in his eyes.

Lu Yu unleashed his power, pushing his strength to the limit.

This is also a form of exploitation, an attempt to enhance one’s own strength through such means.

Bang!

The Sky-Sundering Wings expanded another thousand zhang, and two hundred thousand rift beams compressed the area of more than a hundred zhang guarded by over five thousand people, leaving only blinding light and obscuring all figures from sight.

“Ahh!” The towering man spat out a mouthful of blood, having been pierced through the heart by a beam of light.

He was reborn, yet it was the first time he had been killed.

The mysterious figure moved even faster, his palm striking repeatedly in midair, shattering the beams of splitting light into countless black flashes. Yet, he no longer had the opportunity to charge upward.

“Damn it,” the mysterious figure snarled coldly for the first time, his voice filled with anger. “If it weren’t for the need to protect this crystal pillar, I would have crushed you already.”

“Guarding? Can you really guard?” Lu Yu stood in the sky, his fists moving rapidly in succession.

Large cracks spread as the two powerful forces clash head-on, while toxic waves surge violently. Without even considering the toxicity itself, the impact force is already nearing that of ten thousand尊 (zūn).

Lu Yu raised his arm, and between his arms, clusters of demonic energy formed thousands of魔爆eagles in the air, which then dove together toward the mysterious figure.

“Exploding Eagle,” the mysterious figure exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Lu Yu to have such a hidden card up his sleeve.

If these Blast Eagles undergo mutation, they might be capable of dealing direct damage without being restricted by attributes.

The mysterious figure swept his hands through the air, and the black sky, layered tens of thousands of times, surged forward toward the Demon-Explosion Eagle.

The eagles’ cries shook the heavens, as each explosion, accompanied by fiery dragons, shattered the blackened sky into fragments. Simultaneously, hundreds of explosive eagles pierced through the protective barrier formed by the armored figures and mysterious individuals, tearing through layer upon layer until thousands of layers were destroyed.

The blade of carnage swept across, carrying the explosive force of the fire dragon, and struck the protective dome alongside the dragon’s fiery breath.

Once again, hundreds of thousands of layers of light shields were swept away.

“Damn it,” the mysterious figure growled in anger.

The light shield he had spent half a day setting up had actually been destroyed by more than half.

The Demon Explosion Eagle shattered into pieces, and the demonic energy surged into the air, reassembling into the Demon Explosion Eagle, which then dove downward.

Wave after wave of attacks came in an unrelenting, overwhelming barrage.

It was as if the apocalypse of destruction was descending upon the land.

The warriors watching from a distance felt chills down their spines, thinking that if such power were directed at them, they would have died long ago.

“I take back all my previous guesses,” Lei Tao said, inhaling sharply through his teeth. “If I were to face Lu Yu one-on-one, I would surely die. His ability in group battles isn’t merely limited to fighting multiple opponents. Even when facing a single person, the attacks he launches could be deadly.”

At this moment, Lu Yu stood in the sky and coldly said, “Leave that pillar of light, come up here and fight me. Otherwise, I’ll keep attacking you like this until the crystal pillar shatters.”

“With me here, do you really think you can destroy the crystal pillar? Dream on!” The mysterious figure laughed loudly: “Lu Yu, have you ever witnessed the true power of a king?”

“You’re merely at the level of ten thousand zhen, still far from regaining the power of a King. My current Rift Wings are a King’s technique; don’t you think I wouldn’t understand you by now?” Lu Yu coldly snorted and said, “Come at me then, face-to-face, one-on-one. Victory or defeat will determine life or death. If you intend to defend, you won’t be able to hold out at all.”

“Before long, this city will fall into the hands of Yan Xilong. When that happens, the entire army of fifty thousand undead will arrive. Will you be able to suppress them all?”

“Let’s see how long you can hold out!” Lu Yu raised his hand.

From beside Lu Yu, the Phantom Demon emerged.

“You’re honored. This is the first time I’ve teamed up with a phantom demon to attack.” Lu Yu swung his hand down heavily.

Hum.

Phantom Demon and Lu Yu gazed at each other from thousands of meters apart in the sky, his two-thousand-zhang-long Heaven-Splitting Wings unfolded behind him.

The next moment, two hundred thousand rift beams tore through the sky. The Demon Nest, Blades of Slaughter, Demon-Explosion Eagles, waves of poison, and rifts in the void all descended together, suppressing and crashing down toward the earth.

Lei Tao and others had already experienced cardiac arrest.

In this moment, it felt like the end of the world.

The void in everyone’s eyes distorted, and the supposedly invincible structures seemed unable to withstand the pressure, beginning to crack.

The ground was shaking.

The entire city is moving.

This is equivalent to the power of two Lu Yus destroying a land at the same time; what could possibly withstand such force?

The sky-splitting beams condensed into mountains, one after another, crashing down.

The mysterious figure was pressed down so hard that he couldn’t lift his head. The towering giant, over ten feet tall, began to emit a diamond-like luster all over his body, as if transforming into a diamond man.

Even so, he could no longer move, being suppressed by various forces.

Lu Yu coldly shouted into the air, “Block it? Let’s see how you block it now!”

“Lu Yu!” The mysterious figure had never been suppressed like this by an enemy before.

Without the crystal pillar, he could have rushed forward in an instant and shattered Lu Yu into pieces.

Coincidentally, his current task is to guard this crystal pillar.

“If I keep defending any longer, I’ll drain you to death,” Lu Yu said coldly. “Come up here and fight me one-on-one.”

“Stay here, and you’re as good as dead. Don’t get too cocky,” the mysterious figure said, barely holding back, gritting his teeth. “Your arrogance won’t last much longer.”

“Is that so?” Lu Yu looked up at the sky, his voice cold. “Then let’s add a bit more force.”

The mysterious figure looked up, glancing at Lu Yu in astonishment and exclaiming, “What? Do you still have more power left to use?”

“Your ally is too weak. He didn’t even figure out my background before asking for your help. Want to see? I’ll show you everything.”

Lu Yu took a deep breath, and the Star-Calling Art within his body began to activate.

The tall, burly man was sensitive and alarmed, exclaiming loudly, “Star-Calling Art!”

Boom!

A giant star shone brightly in the sky.

A beam of starlight pierced through the celestial canopy and fell upon Lu Yu.

The power within Lu Yu surged wildly.

At the same time, the Demon of Illusion also employed the Star-Calling Art, invoking the power of a star to descend.

The裂天 wings growing longer behind the two.

Three thousand Zhang, four thousand Zhang, five thousand Zhang; with every additional thousand Zhang, the power of the Sky-Sundering Beam increases by a hundred thousand.

At the same time, Lu Yu’s strength was also increasing.

Breaking through seven thousand, approaching eight thousand, then rapidly surpassing eight thousand and charging toward nine thousand.

The tall man’s face turned green with shock.

At this moment, a beam of light split the sky and struck him, causing him to explode.

The light shield set up by the mysterious figure shattered completely, and the hundred armored warriors around him were also utterly destroyed.

The mysterious figure roared, raising a black canopy to block all the attacks.

But the next second, the sky screen also shattered.

Lu Yu’s power reached the peak of Ten Thousand Sovereigns, yet it continued to rise, surpassing even that formidable threshold.

This is impossible.

The mysterious figure was terrified.

No one will ever be able to break through the power limit of Ten Thousand Revered Ones to achieve advancement.

The tall, towering man began to feel fear, experiencing dread for the first time even as a King’s Esteem.

Is this a human being!

“King without a crown!” the mysterious figure exclaimed, staring at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu in front of him turned out to be the “King without a Crown” as well.

How could that be possible.

An undefeated legend who has actually been concealing their most powerful talent until now.

“What, Lu Yu is the uncrowned king!” From the main buildings in the distance, countless people shouted.

They clearly understood what this title represented!
