Chapter 465 - 218 Breaking Through the Barrier
As the time for Lu Hong to emerge from his seclusion drew nearer, the anticipation for his success grew among more and more people. However, the current state of affairs within the Power God Path was abysmal. A large number of strong individuals from other divine paths had entered and wreaked havoc on the local forces of the Power God Path. Yi Kuang was just one of many; in every corner of the Power God Path, numerous strong individuals faced challenges and suffered heavy casualties.
It was then that Augustus stepped forward, defeating the heretical strong ones wherever he went. However, the power of one man was limited; he could only alleviate the situation and act as a deterrent to others.
As a result, three days later, Augustus was ambushed by the strong ones of the four great divine temples in the valley outside the sixth trial passage.
This battle was earth-shattering, and the entire valley was razed to the ground. Although Augustus defeated many strong opponents, he was gravely injured himself and was forced to go into hiding.
After this incident, the situation within the Power God Path reversed once again. Heretical strong ones occupied cities and drove out and slaughtered the trialists of the Power God Path. The series of events left the Hall Master of the Power God Path trembling with rage. However, he could not publicly support the Power God Path; the massive influx of outsiders was clearly supported by divine temple forces, and the extent of Duke Sotu’s involvement, though unknown to the Hall Master, was certainly significant.
He believed that any move by the Power God Hall would inevitably be suppressed by a joint effort of the other divine temples.
"Niu Zhongshan, do you think if he were to emerge, he could resolve the current predicament of the Power God Path?"
Elder Niu glanced at the still shining rankings on the list and shook his head with a bitter smile, "Hall Master, the level of this Tu Suku is still too low. The disparity between the Second Transition and the Third Transition is like a gulf. Even if he is strong, facing late-stage Third Transition experts, he will still be exhausted."
From Lu Hong’s profile, it was clear that he had defeated a top contender from the Star Sea, Bai Shi. But this was a one-on-one combat, just a duel.
Hadn’t they seen how Augustus was suppressed? Hundreds of heretical strong ones ambushed him together, completely shameless.
