Lu Wu City!
According to Mo Li, this was the highest-ranking city of the Tiger Demon tribe, a sacred place in the hearts of nearly a hundred million Tiger Demons. When 'Heavenly Dao' opened, the Tiger Demon tribe only took half a year to capture a main city, which became the first city for all demon players in the Mountain Sea Realm!
Back then, under the leadership of Great Emperor Lu Jie, the participating Tiger Demon players numbered as high as thirty million. After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, they finally took over the city from the 'Heavenly Dao' natives.
Great Emperor Lu Jie, in remembrance of his ancestor Lu Wu, renamed the city Lu Wu City. Now, under the command of the Tiger King, Lu Wu City had developed into the largest city in the entire central region, covering a staggering 1200 square kilometers with a permanent population of over six million Tiger Demon players!
Most terrifyingly, all buildings in Lu Wu City had reached level 9, just one step away from the bottleneck of a mortal city at level 10.
Ye Yun found Mo Li's words quite eye-opening.
"Such spendthrifts, all of them," Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh.
In his previous life, after three years, even the highest-level cities established by Earth humans had barely reached level 7.
"System prompt: Player has entered a Level 9 Emperor City of the Demon race! Affected by the city's domain, player and affiliated pets' attributes are reduced by 10%."
As soon as he entered the city, an inexplicable pressure enveloped Ye Yun, leaving him bewildered.
"Once a city reaches a certain level, it will exert a certain degree of pressure on hostile forces or foreign races entering its vicinity," Mo Li quickly explained, seeing Ye Yun's confused expression.
"System prompt: Player's Fate Beast - Black Ant has been cursed by Demon race players - Suppressed. Player's current attack is reduced by 10%, lasting for 300 seconds."
"System prompt: Player's Fate Beast - Black Ant has been cursed by Demon race players - Breakout. Physical defense reduced by 10%, lasting for 300 seconds."
...
Before Ye Yun could fully process the previous system prompts, a barrage of notifications flooded in the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array. Black Ant was instantly afflicted with five or six negative status effects.
"Human! I wonder how well my trap of 'inviting you into the urn' worked?" a booming voice echoed from above.
"Impressive, but what of it?" Ye Yun emerged from behind Black Ant's head, leaping onto its forehead. Ye Yun noticed that while Black Ant's size remained unchanged, its entire black carapace now emanated a cold, metallic sheen.
Fifty meters above, two hundred yards away from Ye Yun, stood a figure ten feet tall with a tiger's head and human body. He was clad in an entire set of tiger-striped armor, exuding a majestic aura. Three prominent bone protrusions extended from his arms to his fists, and nine steel spikes, over half a meter long, protruded from the back of his hands.
Beside him stood a stunning woman adorned in a resplendent, five-colored phoenix-feather robe. She sat barefoot on a giant flying beast, her flawless jade-like face filled with allure. One hand held a fanned peacock feather, gently stroking her exposed calves.
Behind them, over a dozen formidable-looking demon players stood, clearly leaders of their respective races.
The entire sky was filled with potent demonic energy!
"As expected of a 'Heavenly Emperor' titled player of the Demon race, your strength might not be much, but you certainly know how to command an imposing presence," Ye Yun said nonchalantly, watching dozens of support players cast curses and debuffs on him, not even bothering to dodge.
In his opinion, before absolute strength, all these tricks were futile and rather gaudy.
"Human! Although your strength is immense, I have now gathered my Demon race's two Emperors, three Great Sovereigns, over a dozen minor Demon Sovereigns, and more than a hundred Demon Kings, with millions of demons at my command!"
"Furthermore, Lu Wu City's teleportation array connects to five major regions and 521 cities. With a single command, billions of demon players can arrive at any moment. Do you think you stand a chance?!" Lu Jie roared, his gaze fixed on the nonchalant Ye Yun.
"They are but insignificant ants. Numbers mean nothing to me, you scumbags. If need be, I can slaughter the entire Mountain Sea Realm alone, so what?"
"Lu Jie, if you know what's good for you, get out of the way. I'll break the Qi Tian Tower and leave. If you try to stop me, the loss will be far greater than just the Qi Tian Tower!"
As Ye Yun spoke, he surveyed his surroundings, marveling at Lu Wu City's vastness and grandeur.
Setting aside the buildings, the plaza around the teleportation array and resurrection point alone seemed to stretch endlessly, with sides no less than five kilometers long. This would be an unbelievable feat in the human world.
At this moment, countless demon players on the plaza were converging towards them. They moved like a well-trained army, forming ranks according to their professions and factions, quickly filling the enormous plaza.
"My warriors, this human player before us intends to lay hands on our Demon race's foremost city in the Mountain Sea Realm, to strike at the very foundation of our Tiger Demon tribe! Tell him, what shall you do!" Lu Jie clenched his fist, the nine steel spikes pointed menacingly at Ye Yun as he roared.
"Kill!" A unified roar, a colossal surge of morale, instantly swept through Lu Wu City!
Lu Jie looked at Ye Yun sternly. He knew that even with all the suppression effects on Ye Yun, he was still no match for him.
As the leader of his race, as the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons, his dignity could not be challenged. However, this was only 'Heavenly Dao', the Mountain Sea Realm, not reality. Despite any real-world power, his resolve was unwavering. What he could do now was not to protect Lu Wu City's Qi Tian Tower, but to defend the dignity of a Demon Emperor, the dignity of billions of demons.
"Little brother, listen to your sister's advice. Why not retreat now? Or, join our Demon race. My brother Jie and I will grant you the position of Third Demon Emperor, making you our equal, how about it?" At this moment, the beautiful woman beside Lu Jie opened her lips, her voice as melodious as heavenly music.
She was the second Emperor of the Demon race, Kong Li! Legend had it that her true form was a Chao Yang Peacock, a descendant of the Demon Ancestor Kong Xuan!
Through Mo Li's introduction, Ye Yun had gained some understanding of these Demon race powerhouses.
"Haha, to turn into your grotesque, half-human, half-beast forms? But, seeing you like this makes me quite excited. Enough nonsense, let's fight!" Ye Yun brandished a branch.
'Song of Life!'
His 1200e health instantly surged to 1260e, leaving many ordinary onlookers bewildered.
'Demonic Qi Soaring!'
"Kill!"
