Even, he didn’t even place his gaze or attention on us, instead looking into the empty space.

Is he... not afraid of death?

Kolantono was instantly furious, feeling underestimated.

Oh, Lu Wenwu wasn’t underestimating him.

Indeed, he hadn’t looked at him from the beginning.

That’s because after activating the Eye of True Sight earlier, Lu Wenwu noticed a sixth person hidden in this small space besides their group of five.

It was a gaunt old man who seemed almost to blend with nature, his aura unfathomable.

He stood there quietly, yet prior divine sense scans hadn’t detected him.

Only when the Eye of True Sight swept over did it finally capture his trace.

[Herb Morales (S+)]: 680 0000/680 0000

[Cultivation]: Pseudo-Tier One of Ascension to Divinity

[Current Status]: Causality Cutting, Hidden, Killing Intent, Gathering Strength, Suppressed, Space Seal

[Analysis]: Unknown source, illegally residing on Blue Star, an Ascendant Divine Tier Transcendent without baptismal transformation, being suppressed by the Imperial City Safety Zone’s grand array, all attributes decreased, unable to harness Power of Heaven and Earth and Power of Rules

Tier One of Ascension?

But his level rating is still S+?

It seems on this Blue Star, at most one can only mix to this rating.

And whether after "Ascension" there will still be player level evaluation remains unknown.

Lu Wenwu’s eyes slightly narrowed, pondering internally.

This six million-eight hundred thousand blood volume is indeed formidable.

This is the highest player blood volume he has seen so far.

Even the body of Lu Wenwu, having undergone several transformations, is far surpassed by the opponent by a full double!

However, a Foundation Level cultivation technique... the 9th Layer shouldn’t have such a terrifying boost, right?

Could it be an equipment augmentation?

Or possibly a new change brought by breaking through to the Ascension to Divinity Tier?

Lu Wenwu was still thinking.

But the hidden Ascendant Divine Tier elder seemed reluctant to give him any more chances.

"To be able to detect me, you are indeed a Celestial Pride."

Suddenly, the black robe on the elder vanished, replaced by an extremely ornate silver-white knight’s armor.

The armor bore complex and profound golden patterns, with dark force sketching shapes resembling dragon scales, making it apparent upon one glance that it carries ancient and heavy meanings, full of historical charm.

This is not a piece of system-produced equipment.

It appears to be an ancient creation passed down by a major force on Blue Star, matching the equally exquisite and magnificent two-handed knight’s sword in his hand.

[Furious Dragon Knight Armor Set]: 260 0000/260 0000

[Cultivation]: Pseudo-Myth

[Current Status]: Suppressed, Spiritual Charm Loss, Consumption Intensified, Resurgence of the Wrathful Dragon Soul

[Analysis]: An item passed down through generations by the now-defunct Angry Dragon Knight Order, usable only by genuine "Dragon Knights."

As the Dragon Knight, Morales spoke, and equipped his Furious Dragon Armor Set to prepare for combat, the others including Kolantono naturally halted their planned attack.

Even though they were prepared to die bravely, if they could survive, or exchange their lives for more Divine Continent powerhouses, it would be better.

Now Morales is ready to take action personally, making them believe victory is guaranteed without much need for their involvement.

This time, there shouldn’t be any more surprises...

"Dragon Knight? Where’s your dragon?" Lu Wenwu suddenly asked, with a frown, "I’m one to respect the old and love the young, never bullying the weak."

This sudden question left Kolantono unable to keep a straight face.

Third time!

Third time!

Interrupted again!

Do you seriously not care about your current situation at all?

Morales also seemed to find it hard to remain composed.

What do you mean where’s my dragon?

I too wish to fight alongside my mount!

Without a dragon, a Dragon Knight’s combat strength falls by more than half.

But what can I do?

Don’t you know the level of your Divine Continent’s Imperial City Safety Zone’s grand array?

He said nothing, merely silently wielding his longsword, advancing towards Lu Wenwu.

The Angry Dragon Longsword unleashed its sharp Sword Qi, soaring towards the sky, and the aftermath released even stung people’s skin painfully.

If placed in the outside world, this sword could borrow the might of heaven and earth to directly cleave a mountain in half.

Now, under the dual suppression of the Imperial City Safety Zone and Death Arena, this sword’s power decreased, but for Lu Wenwu, it was even more deadly.

In the outside world, he could dodge via Space Flashes, weaken with Space Deflection, or evade with Fleeting Shadow.

But in the Death Arena, space for dodging was too small, with a maximum movement radius of merely five hundred meters.

Originally, a singular attack when touching the Death Arena’s space seal would rebound back, transforming it into a range-wide damage, enveloping all hideaways.

So Lu Wenwu’s choice was...

Forget dodging, damn it, explode directly with him and test the purity!

"Ascension God Powerhouses... let me see your power!"

Taking advantage of his earlier banter with Kolantono, he had long been gestating Double Celestial Fire Thunder Burst within his arms, awaiting the final "main ingredient" to merge!

Yes, Lu Wenwu, relying on his multiple life-saving methods and the "Influence Body Refining Skill" allowing limb regeneration, was directly gestating Celestial Fire Thunder Burst in both arms!

Accompanied by an overwhelming eruption of Abyssal Demon Qi, ghastly green Evil Flame suddenly flared on Lu Wenwu’s arms, then vanished into invisibility.

Instead, a surging four-color Thunder Light emerged!

Harsh lightning sounds resounded, and in Demon Dragon Form, Lu Wenwu appeared almost entirely bathed in an ocean of lightning, ceaseless thunder roiling in his arms.

"Bang!"

Underfoot, the earth roared, and the ground, reinforced by space seal, shook violently.

The replaced Burst Step on the skill panel asserted its power — though low in level, it was straightforwardly brutal, remaining effective in such close-range combat, catching them by surprise.

What the hell is this!?

Exploding at the slightest disagreement?

Seeing Lu Wenwu hurtling towards him, the Dragon Knight Morales was hugely astonished.

The unfinished sword strike abruptly shifted in the air, switching from offense to defense.

For an Ascendant Divine Tier powerhouse, Lu Wenwu’s death-for-death approach was merely surprising.

But beside him, the four S Tier players led by Kolantono felt only fear and tingling scalp.

They sensed the scent of death from the thunder surging from those arms.

Kolantono’s eyes nearly cracked, and almost immediately, he took out a defensive tool from his personal backpack, maximizing protective power.

The Imperial City Safety Zone’s grand array could seal space power from storage space but couldn’t block system functions.

"Boom!"

An enormous amount of lightning erupted within the one-kilometer diameter hemispherical death arena.

The rampant sea of thunder immediately exploded, rushing back under the effect of the space seal.

The differing eruptions and collisions of two forces, more powerful than normal explosions, transformed the entire arena into a world as if thunder tribulation had arrived!

There’s absolutely nowhere to hide here!

A blast within a confined space is the most terrifying thing.

The release of Double Celestial Fire Thunder Burst was more potent than the previous clash with Space-Time Demon God.

Lu Wenwu, using his arms as the direct release point, faced the brunt of it, and the Life and Death Talisman was instantly triggered.

[You are enduring a deadly damage]

[Your equipment [Life and Death Talisman] is conducting a judgment]

[Judgment failed]

[Demon God’s Blessing did not activate]

[Tiding’s Blessing activated]

[The current damage will take effect in three parts over the following three seconds]

Since obtaining the Life and Death Talisman, Lu Wenwu was experiencing Tiding’s Blessing skill effect for the first time.

The rampant thunder instantly destroyed his arms, and even if calculated in three times, the blazing high temperature and ravaging thunder element remained unbearable for his physical constitution.
