MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

"Young friend, whatever the case, let me take you back to Da Song first; just lying here is not a solution."

He seemed to be speaking to Lu Hong, or perhaps to the altar, or maybe he was speaking to himself.

Thus, Di Shu suppressed the greed in his heart and picked up Lu Hong.

And at the moment he lifted him, Di Shu suddenly opened his mouth, his aged head burst open, revealing his true form, and bit down towards the unconscious Lu Hong.

At that very moment, the Altar of Life erupted with radiant light, countless blood-red chains rushed at Di Shu.

"Haha, too late!"

Di Shu laughed wildly, intending to swallow Lu Hong whole.

But just then, Lu Hong suddenly opened his eyes, an invisible shockwave erupted from the void, pressing towards Di Shu.

This was one of the Lion Poor clan's ultimate techniques, the Celestial Roar.

Its greatest effect was intimidation, especially against beast race creatures in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, it had absolute deterrence power.

Even though Di Shu was powerful, he was shaken for half a second by this fury-filled roar.

And this precious half-second allowed Lu Hong to escape from Di Shu's mouth, evading the trap.

Di Shu, recovering, looked at Lu Hong with a face full of resentment, roaring in anger, "How did you find out!"

"As expected!" Lu Hong's expression was grim: "You despicable creature!"

"Damn it, damn it!"

Seeing the chains would take a bit more time to seal the way out, Di Shu unwillingly began to fight for his life.

Without another word, he launched another attack at Lu Hong.

But, the elders and several soul bodies of the Lion Poor clan unexpectedly stood in front of Di Shu.

"Di Shu, your greed knows no bounds, today you shall pay the price!" With that, the elder swung his fist, smashing down fiercely on Di Shu.

A resounding boom echoed, the void shattered, and Di Shu was knocked back continuously.

At this moment, Di Shu realized he had fallen into their trap, but when he tried to escape, he found he couldn't get away.

Countless blood-red chains wrapped around his body, locking him in place.

"Ah!"

Di Shu naturally refused to give up, and so struggled to transform his true form, hoping to rely on its might to break the chains' restraints.

Unfortunately, Di Shu underestimated the power of the Lion Poor clan's Altar of Life, no matter how hard he tried, his body was still locked in human form, unable to change in the slightest.

"Damn it, damn it!" Di Shu cursed loudly, but unfortunately, he couldn't escape the altar chains' confinement.

Seeing Di Shu thoroughly restrained, the Lion Poor clan elder approached Di Shu, shouting to Lu Hong: "Little guy, extract a drop of your Heart Blood."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong forced out a drop of fresh blood, directing it to float in front of the elder.

The elder took the drop of blood, using Lu Hong's blood, to draw a mystical array on Di Shu's forehead.

Seeing the array, Di Shu's face showed fear: "No... no... I've learned my lesson, I've learned my lesson, don't, don't, I'm willing to swear to become the servant of the Lion Poor clan, don't, don't..."

Unfortunately, no matter how Di Shu pleaded, the Lion Poor clan elder remained unmoved, completing the mark bit by bit.

With the final stroke, the array burst into a brilliant divine light.

Under the divine light's cleansing, Di Shu's soul visibly turned transparent, losing its self-awareness.

Having finished these actions, the Lion clan elder finally breathed a sigh of relief, showing a satisfied smile, inviting Lu Hong: "Come on, little guy, try controlling him, from today onwards, this Di Shu will be your servant, though he lacks his former consciousness, he can perfectly execute every task you assign."

"Really?" Lu Hong was surprised, then delighted, immediately ordering: "Di Shu, fly into the air."

Upon hearing this, Di Shu's eyes were hollow, like a robot, executing Lu Hong's command, flying into the air.

The Lion Poor clan elder chuckled: "From now on, you have a powerful tool for self-defense, though Di Shu is slightly wounded, his power is definitely not to be underestimated, plus his special spatial ability can protect you in many dire circumstances, he is undoubtedly an excellent Protector of our Lion Poor clan."

Indeed, Di Shu's power is quite considerable, with its help, aside from the four superpowers, Lu Hong could probably sweep through everything.

The Lion Poor clan elder continued to say to Lu Hong: "Young friend, there shouldn't be only you among our Lion Poor clan bloodline, right?"

Lu Hong nodded: "Yes, if things are as I suspect, there are many descendants of the Lion Poor clan bloodline."

Upon hearing this, the elder and the Lion Poor clan souls behind him all became excited.

"Oh? I didn't expect Heaven to not abandon our Lion Poor clan, there are still so many descendants!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, truly Heaven hasn't abandoned our Lion Poor clan!"

The elder also smiled broadly, then said to Lu Hong: "When you depart this time, I hope you can quickly bring the clan members to the altar, then we will fully assist them in awakening their Bloodline Power, allowing our Lion Poor clan to prosper once more!"

"Understood, I will do it as soon as possible." Lu Hong nodded, agreeing to the elder's request.

"Good, then I won't keep you, the many marvelous uses of bloodline power are deeply engraved within your blood, as long as you calm your mind and explore, you can master everything, remember, you must quickly bring the clan members to the altar, once the altar is activated this time, it won't close again, the energy to maintain the altar is limited, if it runs out we'll never awaken again, and our Lion Poor clan bloodline will never be revived."

After a lengthy round of admonitions and reminders, Lu Hong finally bid farewell to the souls of the Lion Poor clan and rode on Di Shu, leaving the Altar of Life.

But as Lu Hong vanished into the void, the Lion Poor clan elder's expression suddenly turned grim.

The Lion Poor clan members behind him also stepped forward, speaking solemnly: "Elder, do you think that kid will fall for it?"

"I've not noticed anything amiss, he should believe my words, but...," the elder hesitated, then continued: "But I still feel something's not right, he might've sensed something. Still, if he wants more power, he'll eventually come to me..."

As the elder of the Lion Poor clan finished speaking, the soul bodies also vanished from the altar, and the vast altar gradually disappeared into the void, leaving no trace.

As for Lu Hong in the flying void world, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.

Di Shu is untrustworthy, but it doesn't mean those Lion Poor clan members can be trusted.

In a massive Altar of Life, where none of the deceased Lion Poor clan souls have dissipated, what could they be planning? Surely it's nothing but an attempt at soul-possession and resurrection!

Lu Hong certainly isn't foolish, from the first moment he saw the souls of these Lion Poor clan members, he sensed something was off, these souls weren't filled with joy at seeing a fellow clansman, they were clearly admiring a powerful vessel!

This Altar of Life, Lu Hong seldom intends to return unless he has the power to overturn these soul bodies, but for the Lion Poor clan elder to let him leave so easily, he must be assured that Lu Hong will return to the altar.

Then, for what purpose?

Lu Hong pondered for a long time without reaching a conclusion, and then decided not to think too much, given the situation, he would take it one step at a time!

But he must admit, this venture into the void brought substantial rewards, not just the acquisition of Di Shu as a servant, his own power had surpassed the scope of the Third Transition, merely his physical strength could definitely challenge the Mortal Realm Celestial, if he further activated his bloodline power, perhaps even subduing Earth Realm Celestial Gods wouldn't be out of question.

This brings him closer to avenging the Bow clan.

With Di Shu's powerful spatial traversal ability, Lu Hong didn't immediately return to Da Song, but ordered Di Shu to fly back to Constant Domain.

After half a month, Di Shu arrived at the special void layer outside Tang Shi world, steadily stopping there.

Through Di Shu's special ability, Lu Hong saw Tang Shi world at that moment.

No war had erupted here, the vast Tang Shi looked like a battlefield inferno, countless soldiers were engaged in fierce combat.

Seeing this scene, Lu Hong's expression turned grim, could it be these people thought he'd died and began to vie for the inheritance?
