Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 684: Chapter 379: The King Emerges, Troops Approach the City!_2

Aside from that.

Beneath the Rune City Wall.

Hundreds of thousands of simulators were engaged in a fierce battle with the dark creatures.

With their bodies and lives, they formed a wall of flesh and blood, keeping all the darkness at bay outside Wuyou City!

Combat is the best way to grow.

With the blessings of [Heaven Rewards Diligence], [Heaven-defying Comprehension], and [Acting on behalf of Heaven], their power was increasing almost every moment.

But there were simply too many dark creatures outside the city.

They couldn’t be killed off completely, nor could they be exterminated permanently.

They were densely packed, like a dark ocean.

Even with all the simulators fighting fiercely and refusing to retreat, the dark creatures’ assault showed no signs of weakening.

"Lord Shi Tao, these dark creatures are coming on fiercely and not retreating; I’m afraid something is unusual."

A Sun Tyrant looked at the figure standing atop the city wall, reporting in a heavy tone.

That figure, clad in a black robe with long silver hair, exuded an immensely powerful aura.

Just standing on the city wall, his unparalleled majesty spread out, preventing dark creatures within ten miles from approaching.

This person was precisely Shi Tao, the Blood God Pope, and a genuine Tier Seven King-Sealing Giant!

When the Blood God Church was besieged by the Night Watch Department, Shi Tao, as the Blood God Pope, was heavily injured and fled until he reached the vicinity of Daxuan City.

Later, he was completely subdued by Lu Yuan using the talent effect of [Undead Calamity], becoming the pinnacle force of Wuyou City.

Yet, even as a King-Sealing Giant, Shi Tao’s expression was grim as he gazed at the endless dark creatures outside the city.

Logically speaking.

Dark creatures possess a certain degree of spiritual intelligence; if they can’t succeed after prolonged attacks, they usually retreat rather than fight to the bitter end.

However, this Dark Tide had continued for a whole half-month.

And the dark creatures’ offensive not only hadn’t weakened but had become increasingly fierce, as if determined to flatten Wuyou City!

"This Dark Tide, in both scale and attack intensity, far surpasses previous ones; it seems we’ve been targeted."

Shi Tao spoke, suddenly coughing violently twice, with a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"My lord..."

Seeing this scene, the Sun Tyrant shuddered, his eyes filled with worry and unease.

Three days ago.

Two Tier Seven King-Level dark creatures suddenly launched a surprise attack, causing significant losses to Wuyou City and a large area of land was lost.

It was only with Shi Tao’s timely intervention and desperate effort to block those two dark creatures that the battle line was barely maintained and not breached.

But as the price.

Shi Tao was also injured by the dark creatures, suffering significant wounds.

"It’s nothing, just minor injuries."

Shi Tao’s expression remained natural as he nonchalantly wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The Sun Tyrant’s expression was complicated; he hesitated to speak, but swallowed back his words.

For Shi Tao’s pale face and the blood at the corner of his mouth revealed that his injuries were indeed serious.

"My lord..."

"Wait, someone is coming."

Before the Sun Tyrant could say more, Shi Tao suddenly raised his hand in a stopping gesture, looking solemnly toward the direction outside the battlefield.

Before his words had fallen.

Outside Wuyou City, within the thick, ink-like black mist, a piercingly bright radiance suddenly erupted.

It was like a bright moon hanging high, or the blazing sun in the sky.

The light was so dazzling it couldn’t be directly gazed upon!

Countless dark creatures, like ghosts under the sunlight, let out the most piercing, miserable screams.

Black smoke rose from their bodies, and some of the weaker dark creatures turned to ashes on the spot, dissipating into the air!

And at the end of the black mist.

Three terrifying figures advanced together, appearing in the sight of all the simulators.

They were so powerful, treating the dark creatures as nothing, easily passing through the entire battlefield as if taking a leisurely stroll, arriving beneath Wuyou City.

As soon as these three appeared, a terrifying pressure of kings filled the sky and earth.

Forcing all the simulators to tremble uncontrollably, compelled to kneel and worship.

These were three King-Sealing Giants!

"Feng King, Desert King, and King Wuwei? What are you doing here?"

Shi Tao’s expression changed drastically, immediately recognizing their origin and identity.

Especially when he saw the burly man in the lead, an intense feeling of unease filled his heart.

For this person was the most dazzling young genius of the Great Yan Empire in nearly a century.

He was born into the Imperial Race, gifted from an early age.

Rumored to have awakened SS-level talent, astonishing the world with his first simulation, passing the Hell Level simulation!

Hell Level, only second to the Apocalypse Level difficulty in simulation!

For this reason alone.

King Wuwei received the full support of the Great Yan Empire.

Reaching the Tier Seven King Sealing threshold at merely a hundred years of age.

Breaking Talisman King Jiang Heng’s cultivation speed, he became the youngest King-Sealing Giant in the Great Yan Empire for five hundred years, earning the Monarch’s praise as King Wuwei.

His strength even surpassed many veteran King-Sealing Giants by a significant margin!

"I am commanded to suppress the Dark Tide; why are you not opening the City Defense Array?"

King Wuwei stood mid-air, hands folded, looking down at Shi Tao and the others with a detached demeanor.

Though Shi Tao was also a King-Sealing Giant of the same level, King Wuwei’s gaze was cold and emotionless, as if staring at an insignificant ant.

As for the other two King-Sealing Giants, their faces bore a hint of wry amusement and disdain, seemingly waiting to see Shi Tao make a fool of himself.

"Commanded to assist?"

Shi Tao’s face changed slightly, clearly never having heard of such a directive.

Moreover, the act of opening the City Defense Array wasn’t his decision to make.

At this thought, he slightly turned toward the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wuyou City has never sent out any request for assistance, and we have the capability to fend off this Dark Tide."

"There’s no need for your concern. Please return."

At the very moment the three descended.

Above Wuyou City.

A flurry of data streams also flashed, finally coalescing into a tall, graceful figure, directly rejecting the proposal of King Wuwei and the others.

"An artificial intelligence dares to speak with this king? Bring out your City Lord!"

King Wuwei, young and arrogant, demanded loudly.

He insisted that the City Lord of Wuyou personally come to receive him.

"The City Lord is in seclusion, and I am currently acting as Deputy City Lord, fully managing all affairs."

"You can address your matters directly with me."

Wuxin’s voice was cool.

Lu Yuan had not shown up for forty years, and news of his seclusion was no longer a secret.

"You harbor Evil God Cultists and defy the Imperial Court’s orders, causing a cataclysmic disaster."

"This is your final warning from this king, open the City Defense Array, and have everyone leave the city to welcome the imperial presence, or bear the consequences!"

King Wuwei showed a trace of impatience; his aura became increasingly terrifying, ready to act at any moment.

His presence represented the will of the Great Yan Empire.

Though Wuyou City was merely a border town.

It had rapidly developed in recent years, even attracting the attention of the Great Court Royal Family.

And the Great Yan Empire’s attitude toward Wuyou City was primarily one of annexation and pacification.

But Wuyou City continuously shut its doors to him; if not punished sternly, wouldn’t it disgrace the Great Yan Royal Family?

Upon hearing this, Shi Tao’s heart sank as though into an icy cave.

These were three King-Sealing Giants!

Just one of them alone could act as an autonomous ruler over an entire region.

Not to mention King Wuwei’s unmatched talent and strength.

With his power alone, he could breach the City Defense Array!

Just when a look of determined resolve flashed through Shi Tao’s eyes, prepared to coexist with Wuyou City.

A voice suddenly, like thunder, exploded in everyone’s ears.

"Did the Great Yan Royal Family only send you three good-for-nothings?"

The voice was calm and composed.

As if the army at the gates were not three King-Sealing Giants, but three insignificant beings.

"Insolent!"

"Who dares challenge the majesty of the King Sealing?"

The three of King Wuwei exploded in anger, violently furious, immediately looking up.

In their eyes, filled with shock and rage.

A black-haired young man walked through the sky, with an aura like an abyss, as if a Divine King had descended!
