Chapter 554: The Blood Tower Moves, the Bone Army Rises!

It’s starting to get windy at Fanggang.

Tornadoes, each hundreds of feet tall, were spreading across the area.

A lingering shadow swept across the void, leaving the earth beneath it howling with raging hurricanes.

People outside the city could see everything clearly; their eyes worked to the utmost, yet they only captured a faint, illusory glimpse.

Beside the phantom, tens of thousands of blades of slaughter whirled around, their cold, glinting edges moving in sync with the phantom, leaving behind trails of afterimages across the heavens and earth.

The snake-haired man had just begun to grow wary when he was already swept away by a gust of fierce wind.

Boom!

His body swayed slightly, as if it had been struck by Lu Yu.

Splash!

The sword blade emitted a vibrating hum, as if a swarm of bees had whizzed past the Gorgon.

Ten thousand blades of slaughter pierced the light emanating from Wang Zun’s battle armor, leaving behind countless shallow sword marks on its surface.

The snake-haired man didn’t even have time to react before the sword blade was already thousands of meters away.

The serpent-haired figure saw a fleeting shadow of Lu Yu.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lu Yu vanished.

Once again, he vanished from between heaven and earth.

Lightning-fast—

This is the limit of speed that a person with a Heaven-Splitting Wing can achieve.

What is Lu Yu’s speed limit?

Now is the time—

The storm he brought along transformed Fanggang into the eye of the tempest, as if a catastrophe had descended from the heavens, dragging the entire city into its vortex.

The first gust of the storm was equivalent to Lu Yu’s peak power strike.

Boom!

The snake-haired figure was swept by the second strike; the sword blade slashed across, leaving countless shallow cuts on King Zun’s armor.

The serpent-haired man looked solemn and felt the pressure.

A speed so fast that even he couldn’t catch it.

Has Lu Yu started to get serious?

The previous moves were just试探 (testing the waters); now it’s time to take real action.

The third strike arrived.

The snake-haired man still couldn’t react in time and was swept up into the sky by this strike.

Boom, boom, boom…

Storms raged across the sky, and countless shadows, invisible to the eye, swept past the snake-haired figure.

The snake-haired man’s body was struck hundreds of times in an instant, his body covered with sword marks. A blade slashed across his face, leaving a deep gash that exposed the bone beneath.

This is the speed of a deity.

You don’t even need to get close; the storm generated by the rapid movement alone is equivalent to the attacker’s full-power strike.

The snake-haired creature couldn’t stand steadily in the air at all.

Lu Yu moved like a sharp sword swift as a gust of wind, gliding past the snake-haired creature. Each time they brushed by, it was a powerful strike.

People standing outside Fanggang City were having difficulty breathing.

How can such an attack be blocked?

Lu Yu was too fast, really too fast.

He wove a vast net by himself in the midair.

The snake-haired man felt like prey trapped in a net, endlessly struck by unseen forces. He could never figure out from where the vast net would launch its next attack.

Lu Yu’s speed increased rapidly. The snake-haired figure was surrounded by Lu Yu’s afterimages, which formed a dense cluster around it, trapping the snake-haired figure in the center.

Time and again, heavy blows attacked from all directions, leaving the snake-haired creature powerless to defend itself.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Boom after boom echoed through the heavens and earth, while the Bloodthirsty Blade’s screeching hum pierced the air with shrill intensity.

The sword marks on Wang Zun’s armor were increasing, and the damage had exceeded 65 percent.

“Lu Yu!” the snake-haired creature roared, its fury erupting.

In the span of two words, he was struck hundreds of times from all directions.

“I told you, without using the King’s skill, you must die here today!” Lu Yu’s voice was as faint and ghostly as a spirit.

A single sentence accompanied thousands of attacks.

Over these past two years, he has expended countless resources, repeatedly fighting within the realm of the至尊, pushing himself to the brink of exhaustion before emerging each time.

He did this in order to integrate all of his skills into the most powerful and terrifying attack technique.

One of them is the divine speed of the Sky-Sundering Wings combined with the attack of the Blade of Slaughter.

To cultivate this ultimate speed assassination technique, he spent nearly three months designing this set of attack patterns that are absolutely impossible to detect or block.

Boom!

The snake-haired figure slashed with a star-forged weapon, but only struck a lingering shadow.

Bang!

The snake-haired man was struck and swung in the sky. As soon as his body was knocked off balance, an attack from the other side sent him swaying in the opposite direction.

“But, but that’s the King!”

Lu Yu stood outside the city, lost in thought.

At the other end of monitors for a dozen or so satellites, some elderly men with gray hair, or some soldiers in military uniforms, stood in a daze.

They have already determined that the Snake-haired Man must be a king!

Even if Lu Yu is powerful, can he defy the heavens and slay a king?

But now, they were truly confused.

Lu Yu is incredibly bold.

This speed reached the ultimate level, so fast that even satellites had to use recorded playback in slow motion to capture it. And even then, it was still so quick that one couldn’t afford to blink, or they would only catch a fragmented glimpse of its trail.

An old man from Huaxia inhaled sharply and said, “With such speed and such attacks, who could possibly stand in Lu Yu’s way anymore?”

“The Overlord Skill of the Sky-Sundering King is so terrifying; Lu Yu managed to obtain this skill through sheer luck, which is truly enviable.”

A British military officer said joyfully, “If Lu Yu wins this battle, then we will have fulfilled our promise.”

“Even if they don’t win, it would be difficult for the snake-haired people to kill Lu Yu. In that city, it’s Lu Yu’s domain.”

The four directions trembled.

Lu Yu’s incredible speed left everyone speechless.

The snake-haired man had already been forced into a corner.

“Without using the King’s ability, you will die!”

Lu Yu roared furiously, his fist unleashing tens of thousands of blades of killing energy, sending the snake-haired figure crashing into the harbor.

Boom!

The ground erupted with fifty thousand flaming titans, their fiery forms surging into the sky to counterattack alongside domain guardians.

Boom!

The body of the snake-haired person was blasted out of the city.

Wang Zun’s armor had even more cracks, and even the snake-haired warrior was already spitting blood.

“Oh!”

The snake-haired man’s hair thrashed wildly; he was truly enraged.

“You want to see Cheng Wang’s skills, right? I’ll show you as much as you want.”

“I will kill every single person in your city, without exception,” the serpent-haired woman screamed, her ten fingers and the veins around her eyes bulging grotesquely, looking absolutely terrifying.

Boom.

The aura around the snake-haired figure collapsed entirely, as the power of ten thousand sovereigns, driven by the king’s might, compressed thousands of zhangs of void, causing it to flow downward like water toward the earth.

“Remember, I am the King of Snakes, the King of all Kings of Snakes.”

The king’s armor on the Myriad Snake King automatically contracted, a pair of flesh wings nearly ten feet long grew forth, and his eyes transformed from human eyes into elongated snake-like pupils.

Boom!

Lu Yu’s speed and storm rushed towards the King of Ten Thousand Snakes.

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes clenched his five fingers into an empty grasp and suddenly thrust his fist into the void.

Bang! Large chunks of blood and flesh appeared in the void as Lu Yu’s body was shattered into pieces by the punch.

“He managed to catch my lightning speed!” Lu Yu was astonished, staring into the eyes of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes.

“Are you underestimating me?” Wang She Wang, gazing at Lu Yu from afar in the sky, said in a deep voice: “If my King-making skill were just this much, would I still deserve to be called a King? Now I’ll show you exactly what the gap is between you and a King.”

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes stepped on the void, and his body vanished.

Not swift, but completely vanished.

“Boom!”

In an instant, within the boundless expanse of heaven and earth, hundreds of giant serpents surged forth from all directions, emerging suddenly from the void and rushing toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu’s body had no time to move before being struck by a number of giant snakes.

Each giant python possessed the strength of ten thousand beings, crashing into Lu Yu’s body and turning him into a pulp of flesh.

“Void Serpent Nest, this is the first ability of my King’s Skill. I’d like to see if your speed can rival the ferocity of my Serpent Nest!” The King of Ten Thousand Snakes spoke from the void.

Hundreds of giant pythons vanished into the void after a single strike.

The moment Lu Yu’s body recovered, the giant python reappeared. Its coiled body shot out like lightning, shattering Lu Yu’s newly restored form.

Lu Yu’s body was reborn, transforming into a venomous dragon.

The giant serpents created by the impact were all corroded by potent venom.

“Yi She!” Wan She Wang stepped out from the void. With a single raise of his hand, his arm extended infinitely, transforming into a dragon-like serpent, tens of thousands of feet long, which crashed into the poison dragon.

The poison dragon’s skull was shattered, and the toxic gas fell upon the蛟dragon as well.

However, countless tiny black holes shimmered across the dragon’s body, absorbing all the toxic gas.

Boom!

A colossal dragon opened its mouth, firing a hundreds-of-meters-long venomous arrow that struck the regenerating head of the poisoned dragon.

The poison arrow shattered the dragon’s head.

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes stood in place, his tone cold and arrogant as he said, “What’s so special about having a fully toxic dragon body? Back when I ascended the throne, the rival I defeated to claim the position possessed a fully toxic dragon body as well.”

His voice was not loud, yet it was still caught by the people outside the city.

Everyone felt cold all over.

The fully toxic dragon body is extremely terrifying.

But the Wan She King before them had actually killed even those who possessed the Complete Poison Dragon Body.

How many kinds of kings can restrain such a king?

Lu Yu retracted his Poison Dragon Body, flames swirling around him as numerous fire dragons flew from his body, charging toward the Ten Thousand Snake King.

“It’s useless. This is absolutely useless,” scoffed the Wan She King coldly. “Whether it’s poison or fire, it’s nothing but trash in front of me.”

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes stepped into the flames.

His body began to sprout scales, each small scale bearing a tiny black hole that absorbed the flames into itself.

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes opens his mouth—

Boom!

A fiery dragon stretching for ten thousand zhang surged out from its body, colliding with the flame giant formed by Lu Yu and shattering it into countless sparks.

A spark of stardust exploded and coalesced into the form of Lu Yu.

“You’re finished,” the King of Ten Thousand Snakes said as he appeared before Lu Yu. His speed was no less than Lu Yu’s divine swiftness; the two stood less than half a foot apart.

The palm of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes pressed against Lu Yu’s chest, channeling all its power outward.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s body was shattered once again.

“Lu Yu, do you really think becoming a king is as simple as that? This is the ultimate skill of a king. In every era, the skill of becoming a king is invincible. You—aren’t worthy.”

As the King of Ten Thousand Snakes spoke, at the moment Lu Yu began to recover, his palm pierced through Lu Yu’s chest, crushing his heart.

Lu Yu was stunned, never expecting the King of Ten Thousand Snakes’ ascension skill to be so terrifying!

The King’s skills still have a gap between Wang and himself.

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes snapped his fingers. Once again, a million flying serpents emerged from the void behind him, each carrying a demon warrior into the sky. These demons stretched from heaven to earth, swarming like locusts and blocking out the entire sky.

The demon clans come in various forms, each exuding a strangely eerie aura. They belong to different eras and possess distinct powers.

The most terrifying thing is the power of the million-strong demonic army.

Each one possesses a strength exceeding five thousand!

“Lu Yu, it’s over. This is the army of a million I’ve transformed, created especially to kill you. In the war between Guardians, I have won.”

The world fell silent, and the crowd outside the city began to retreat.

They looked in horror at the vast army of a million soldiers, their hearts trembling with fear.

Has the battle reached the point of conclusion?

“What, Lu Yu is also a guardian!”

“Heavens, what did I just hear? This is the Guardian’s war.”

“This is the true nature of the war that has swept across the world—it is a struggle among Guardians.”

Innumerable people gasped in alarm, finding the title “Guardian” even more terrifying.

How much financial power would it take to create such a formidable force?

Guardian, what kind of power do they actually possess to wage such a terrifying war?

Lu Yu took a deep breath, his eyes like a sea of blood, his voice cold as he said, “That’s right, a war among Guardians. Yes, this is war, not just a battle. Now—”

Boom!

Beyond the harbor, on a vast expanse of land, a towering blood-red tower stood alone in the desolation, shooting a sky-piercing crimson beam into the heavens.

“Massacre, massacre—” beneath the blood tower, a dull and mechanical voice, devoid of emotion, echoed repeatedly.

These sounds seemed like magical melodies piercing through the earth, shattering the clouds above.

“Your million troops against my army—I’d like to see who will be victorious!” Lu Yu said, lifting his hand and slashing it downward forcefully.

Boom. Boom.

The Blood Tower lifted off the ground, and below it, one by one, skeletons sitting in meditation rose to their feet. Each skeleton began to grow armor across its bones, and the weapons in their hands emitted blinding, dazzling light.

“The real battle starts now!” Lu Yu roared, his fighting spirit transforming into an endless surge of murderous and ruthless intent.

Bloodlight erupted from one hundred thousand skeletons, each one radiating boundless murderous intent that resonated with the blood pagoda!
