MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

The blood-red clouds rolled endlessly, a crimson aurora, as thick as a barrel, roared like a tiger and pierced through the heavens and earth, slanting down towards Lu Hong.

And Lu Hong opened his five fingers and gave a low shout: "Blood Fiend—Condense Sky Realm!"

In just an instant, both the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior and his ultimate skill were drawn into that blood-red world.

Through prior battles, Lu Hong was fully confident he could defeat this Blood Patterned Tiger warrior, but he wasn't sure he could kill him before he surrendered.

One must know, the opponent was a Demigod. Though his strength was rather weak, his blood was unmistakably a great supplement.

If Lu Hong could kill him and absorb his blood, the upcoming battles would become a hundred times smoother.

So Lu Hong activated his realm move, drawing the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior in, closing off his escape and surrender routes.

To prevent the opponent from forcibly breaking the realm move and escaping, Lu Hong almost gave up resisting the Blood Patterned Tiger's ultimate skill and charged at him.

Fortunately, the Blood Patterned Tiger used blood-based magic, which, under the fusion of the blood realm, significantly weakened the power of his skill.

Seeing Lu Hong not even bothering to block, taking it head-on, the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior was furious. Wasn't he being underestimated? Who was he looking down on?

Then, he once again activated his magic, his vast blood essence condensed mid-air, and dozens of identical beams shot out, all directed at Lu Hong.

"Blood Transverse Sky!" Lu Hong swung the Blood Holy Sword, and a Blood River surged and roared in this world of blood, swallowing up all those beams.

The Blood Patterned Tiger warrior now realized, his skills seemed to pose almost no threat to the half-beast in front of him, how could this be?

In shock and anger, wanting to flee this realm, he suddenly discovered, chains had long entwined around him, each chain like a leech, continuously sucking the blood essence from his body.

"You..." The Blood Patterned Tiger warrior hurriedly struggled with all his might, but before he could rid himself of all the chains, Lu Hong arrived in front of him.

Having no choice, the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior had to give up breaking free and engage in a tangle with Lu Hong.

But to have a prolonged battle with Lu Hong in this Blood Fiend Condense Sky Realm? Wasn't that like an old man eating arsenic, courting death?

In less than thirty rounds, the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior felt his strength gradually waning, whereas Lu Hong, after receiving the opponent's blood essence, was full of vigor and energy, even more intense than in his prime.

"What on earth are you?"

At this moment, the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior was scared. He was clearly a Demigod, a level above Lu Hong, and reasonably, his blood essence should far surpass the other's, though not overwhelming, at least advantageous.

Yet from the beginning of their encounter to now, he hadn't gained any advantage over Lu Hong. In all aspects, even the quality of his blood essence, he was overpowered by Lu Hong.

But the Blood Patterned Tiger refused to believe that the blood essence in his body could be so easily assimilated by the half-beast before him.

So he resolved, with a desperate heart, "Since you want to steal my blood essence, I'll give it all to you. Let's see if you have the guts for it!"

With that, his blood essence erupted once more, cooperating with those chains, sending it all at once to Lu Hong.

Faced with the presented supplement, how could Lu Hong not accept it? With the passive skill of Blood Source Conversion in action, those foreign blood essences, like docile lambs, all merged into Lu Hong's body, becoming homogenous.

Several minutes passed, and the blood essence within the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior was fully drained by Lu Hong. Seeing the unchanged complexion of his opponent, he panicked: "No... impossible... You consumed so much of my blood essence, how..."

Lu Hong chuckled, "Do you know what Blood Source Conversion is?"

"Blood Source Conversion?"

Though the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior did not know the skill's effect, he guessed that this was likely the method the half-beast in front of him used to assimilate blood power.

"No, you... you can't kill me... Behind me is..."

Lu Hong wasn't about to give him a chance to speak. With a gleam from the Blood Holy Sword, the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior was decapitated.

At the same time, Lu Hong lifted the realm move. Those beneath the stage, enveloped in a blood haze, suddenly saw the head of the Demigod-level Blood Patterned Tiger warrior roll off onto the ground, immediately causing them to retreat in fright.

This was a Demigod! And he was killed so quietly?

Lu Hong sheathed the Blood Holy Sword, turned to glance at the ancient Beasts Gods in the stands, and seeing several of them looking indignant, he chuckled and asked towards the audience below the stage, "Who else would like to come up and fight?"

"I'll go!"

Even after two ancient Beast Race warriors had died, it still didn't deter those with a greedy eye on the throne.

Soon, the challenge resumed.

However, having absorbed all the blood essence from the Blood Patterned Tiger warrior, Lu Hong's combat power was now three times more overwhelming than at the start. How could ordinary Third Transition Peak warriors be his match?

Sticking to the principle that ancient beastmen must die but sparing ordinary ones, Lu Hong slaughtered over sixty ancient Beast Race warriors in succession, and his power nearly doubled through bloodthirsty absorption.

What was supposed to be a war of attrition instead left Lu Hong's spirit livelier. At this point, the ancient Beast Race feared acting recklessly, choosing instead to retreat temporarily.

With the temporary withdrawal of the ancient Beast Race, the beastmen arranged by the Lionheart Ancestor began their efforts. After a month, Lu Hong found himself in an endless cycle of battles.

Lu Hong racked his brains to win at minimal cost, and whenever an opponent was easily dealt with, Lu Hong would deliberately prolong the fight, making a bit of recovery.

While the arena battle was intense, numerous schemes were already unfolding backstage.

At this time, Eferot also traveled across realms, using the power of the Heavenly Gods to return from the Star Domain to Divine Grace.

After returning to Divine Grace, Eferot did not immediately head to the arena but instead watched Lu Hong fighting on stage from afar and murmured to himself, "I knew it."

Then he went to find Tai'e.

Upon entering the side chamber, even after more than a month, the wounds were still somewhat visible.

"Father? Are you injured?" Seeing the red and purple on Tai'e's face, Eferot was surprised, "Who hurt you?"

Upon hearing Eferot's words, Tai'e, somewhat annoyed, said, "Who else could it be but your good brother, my unfilial son."

"Er..." Eferot blinked, then understood immediately, laughing, "How could Tukuru possibly be a match for Father?"

Upon hearing this, Tai'e waved his hand, "You shouldn't underestimate him. This boy, though his level isn't very high now, his strength shouldn't be underestimated. If he reaches the Third Transition Peak, I might not be his opponent."

"Then you are... acknowledging him?" Eferot's heart suddenly had calculations, probing Tai'e's stance.

Tai'e closed his eyes slightly and then said, "The Blood Oath has formed. Those who wish to be Beast King can fight for it. I was the first to step up; the old Beast King abdicating is a settled matter, so why should I cling to it?"

"If you didn't hold back, who could defeat you, Father?"

"Child." Tai'e raised his hand, and Eferot hurriedly stepped forward, allowing Tai'e to rest his hand on his shoulder.

Then Tai'e continued, "Strength is key to victory, but relying solely on strength doesn't guarantee success. If I were on that arena now, I wouldn't have it easy against those boys either. Continuous fierce battles, even for me, would be exhausting. When I stand on that arena, it breaks the connection with the audience; I'd have to endure all the schemes personally. A single mistake, and all is for naught."

"So, you gave up the throne, Father?"

Tai'e chuckled, "Perhaps I should have abdicated long ago. But your strength was too weak to control the situation, let alone handle those greedy ancient Beast Gods. Now that the Blood Oath has been established, if you have the heart to be king, you can compete with your brother. Whichever of you two becomes Beast King, I can accept."

"I understand, Father." Eferot nodded, and suddenly the idea to fight on the arena arose in his heart.

However, Tai'e then reminded again, "If you wish to fight on the arena, by all means do so, but don't rush in. Understand the situation clearly, and don't invite trouble for yourself or your brother."

Eferot wasn't foolish and understood Tai'e's meaning naturally.

At this moment, Baroth also arrived from afar, utilizing the power of the Heavenly God to return from the Star Domain to Divine Grace.

After arriving at Divine Grace, Eferot did not go to the arena immediately, he just watched from afar as Lu Hong fought on stage and muttered to himself, "I knew it."

He then went to see Tai'e.

Entering the side hall, even after more than a month had passed, Tai'e's wounds were still healing, and on seeing Eferot he asked, "Child, what brings you here?"

Hearing Tai'e's voice, Eferot smiled and said, "Uncle Togoru could never be a match for you, father."

In response to Eferot's comment, Tai'e said, "Children, you shouldn't underestimate him. If he were to reach Third Transition Peak, he might actually surpass me."
