Chapter 950 - 428: Battle (4)
Lu Hong naturally knew it was the Netherworld God forcing his potential. Since activating the Lion Poor bloodline, he had never truly unleashed its power, so he had no clue where his limits lay.
But he instinctively resisted this way of assistance. As a top-tier Divine Lord, the Netherworld God was unlikely to go back on his word.
In other words, if Lu Hong were defeated by these Eighteen Realms Heavenly Gods, and they wanted to kill him, the Netherworld God would indeed watch indifferently, not intervening.
Seeing over thirty Heavenly Gods surrounding him, Lu Hong was unwilling to give them the chance.
His muscle strength instantly erupted, creating layers of sonic booms that propelled him forward, aiming to leap out of the encircling trap.
Yet those Eighteen Realms Heavenly Gods weren’t about to let Lu Hong escape from such a capture. As Lu Hong rapidly retreated, the multicolored Divine Power fiercely surged, aiming directly at him.
Faced with such an attack, Lu Hong threw a mighty punch, roaring like a lion, and collided with the incoming Divine Power.
Suddenly, the Divine Power exploded, stirring the four corners.
At the same time, Lu Hong, retreating, crashed against a yellow shield wall.
Turning his head, he saw thick earth walls erected around him, enclosing him in a confined space.
Without hesitation, Lu Hong threw a punch at the earth wall, but contrary to expectations of an explosive scene, his fist felt as if it sunk into mud. Despite his immense strength, lacking a focal point, he lost all his momentum.
The force of his punch, accompanied by sound waves, slammed into the earth wall. Unfortunately, it only created ripples, like a stone in water, causing no significant damage.
Pulling back his fist, Lu Hong immediately sensed trouble, glancing toward the distant Earth Realm Celestial God: "It’s you!"
"Indeed." The Earth Realm Celestial God smirked coldly, "We gave you a chance earlier, but you squandered it. Don’t blame us for being ruthless."
The Earth Realm Celestial God explained to Lu Hong, "In my youth, I fought alongside the Realm King, suppressing countless beast rampages. Dealing with you brute force types, I’ve got plenty of methods. Kid, just wait for death!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong’s face turned grim. Did they really think he, Lu Hong, was an easy target?
Lu Hong had been through numerous battles and faced death multiple times. Who’s afraid of whom?
Knowing escape was futile, Lu Hong unleashed his ferocity, charging toward the nearest Heavenly God.
Roar!
A Lion King’s roar burst forth, sending shockwaves throughout with his bloodline power, though invisible, shaking everything.
He opened with the ultimate bloodline skill, Shaking the Firmament.
The sound waves triggered by the bloodline power surged in layers, furiously impacting the surroundings.
The Heavenly Gods advancing on Lu Hong were pressured by this force, daring not to continue forward, instead using Divine Power to resist the impact.
As the first wave of force was resisted, they found its potency seemed minor and resumed attacking Lu Hong.
Now, Lu Hong stood before the nearest Heavenly God.
As Lu Hong’s eyes widened, the Lion Poor Ancestor’s Eye tore through the sky, casting down a crimson gaze.
The Heavenly God subjected to the gaze felt his soul shatter, as though a primordial beast was staring him down, his Divine Power crushed like under a mountain, losing its mobility.
Thud!
Lu Hong’s punch landed hard on the opponent’s face, instantly caving it in, sending the Heavenly God flying.
However, Lu Hong was relentless.
Before the opponent flew off, Lu Hong grabbed his arm, forcefully pulling him back.
Meanwhile, other Heavenly Gods closed in, and the second wave of shock rippled outward.
This second wave was more than double the first.
The Heavenly Gods aiming to save or attack Lu Hong were caught off guard by the strengthened shockwave, their advancing forms pushed back by sound waves. Some, lacking Divine Power protection, were shaken internally.
The Heavenly God caught by Lu Hong was in dire straits; suppressed by the Ancestor’s Eye, unable to muster Divine Power, and at the heart of Shaking the Firmament, suffering immense damage.
Thud!
Lu Hong punched the Heavenly God’s chest, collapsing it. In regular circumstances, he’d be dead.
Despite being gods, transcending human frailties, they still couldn’t withstand such attacks, spitting blood.
After two blows, the Heavenly God finally escaped the Ancestor’s Eye suppression, his Divine Power reawakening.
"Die!"
The Heavenly God poured all his might, unleashing his Divine Power, forming a torrent intent on engulfing Lu Hong.
But, as the third shock formed and rippled out.
This time, it surpassed the previous, shattering the Divine Power flood along with the Heavenly God’s body.
Though relatively weak, the first Heavenly God was still a genuine god, albeit at Early Mortal Realm.
As the first god fell, others displayed panic; none were much stronger than him, belonging to the lowest ranks among Eighteen Realms’ Godly Warriors, stationed in the remote Constant Domain.
The Earth Realm Celestial God maintaining the formation wore a grim expression, resisting Lu Hong’s shock while keeping the great enclosure intact, unable to intervene as the god was slain.
Lu Hong’s methods exceeded the Earth Realm Celestial God’s understanding. The Eighteen Realms’ fierce beasts’ abilities were researched by Realm Kings to control them and eliminate any burgeoning threat.
This Earth Realm Celestial God, having battled alongside the Realm King, hadn’t seen Lu Hong’s peculiar bloodline skills, feeling dread.
As the fourth shock ripple spread.
Feeling its incoming force, gods recognized they must exert full power to withstand it.
Finally discerning the peculiarity of Lu Hong’s skills, the Earth Realm Celestial God shouted, "Suppress him! If he keeps using this skill, we can’t hold out!"
In the next moment, the Earth Realm Celestial God withdrew from formation maintenance, brown Divine Power coalescing into a great hand, countering Lu Hong’s shock.
The other gods mimicked, channeling Divine Power into reinforcing the giant hand.
Boom boom boom...
The forces were deadlocked.
Amid relentless collision, Lu Hong’s bloodline surged, continuously feeding power to his shock, while Eighteen Realms’ gods strove to terminate it.
Lu Hong refused to relent, deploying the Ancestor’s Eye to suppress opponents.
Seeing this, the Earth Realm Celestial God discerned the Ancestor’s Eye’s utility, hurriedly retrieving a massive mutant beast skull from his Space Ring.
Upon the skull’s ascent,
Instantly the skull quaked, generating Bloodline Power.
Centered on the skull, a gigantic Barbaric Bull over three hundred meters tall rapidly formed.
Constructed purely from bloodline, not flesh, its aura remained potent.
Moo~~~~~~!
With the sound of the Bull’s moo.
The Bull charged toward the Ancestor’s Eye, blocking its gaze, sparing those gods below from its influence.
Witnessing the Bull targeting the Ancestor’s Eye, Lu Hong leaped forward, aiming a fierce punch at its head.
With a muffled thud.
Lu Hong was hurled back by immense force.
The Bull was dazed by Lu Hong’s punch, seemingly forgetting its mission.
"Fool, smash that Heavenly Eye!"
Under the Earth Realm Celestial God’s order, the Bull shook its groggy head, resuming its assault on the Ancestor’s Eye.
