Chapter 58: Self-Detonation of the Destruction Black Lotus!
by xennovelCould it be that I, the Demon Lord Luo Hou, am truly fated to fall here today?
Fresh blood flowed down from his head as four menacing swords surrounded him protectively.
“If my Four Swords to Vanquish Immortals were completed, I might just stand a chance!” Luo Hou gritted his teeth.
The Ancestral Dragon’s colossal claws descended from the Nine Heavens, while Luo Hou raised the God-Slaying Spear high, hands stained with blood!
The spear was razor-sharp, and even the Ancestral Dragon dared not test its edge, retreating instead.
Before he could catch his breath, a burst of multi-colored flames surged toward him.
The Destruction Black Lotus emitted a sound of extreme strain as Luo Hou tumbled desperately to evade it.
Unexpectedly, the ground erupted with a massive qilin hoof; it not only contained divine power but also the laws of the Five Elements. The hoof struck Luo Hou, making him spit blood!
With the Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin present, each peak powerhouse could hold their own against Luo Hou!
Adding to that, the support from his kin set up an unparalleled formation, leaving Luo Hou with no breathing room under their combined assault! What infuriated him the most was that amidst such a fierce battle, those creatures calling themselves players were still mocking him!
“Look at this Demon Lord! He got caught by the Ancestral Dragon and spat out three mouthfuls of black blood!”
“Yeah! Just look, his black robe is nearly burned off by Sister Yuan Feng. How does he still look like a Demon Dao Patriarch?!”
These mocking words came right from the Little Loli’s mouth! “Ahhhh!”
Luo Hou’s bloodshot eyes could no longer contain his fury as he bellowed, “Do you have any respect for strong ones? A warrior can be killed but should not be humiliated!”
Surprisingly, upon hearing this, the players laughed even harder. Would they, the Fourth Heavenly Disasters, show any mercy to an NPC? “Looks like this Demon Lord’s plotting has come to ruin!” High above, the Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng exchanged glances.
Under the net of heavenly punishment, an unprepared Luo Hou truly found it difficult to turn the tide!
“Even if I fall, I will take one down with me!”
Luo Hou, seeing no other option, glared fiercely at the three beast kings.
Indeed, upon hearing his words, the warriors hidden in the void began to waver.
“Don’t panic, maintain the formation! Right now, Luo Hou is just a dying ember!”
The Ancestral Dragon roared sharply, fearing his kin would let their guard down and ruin everything.
However, the many powerful warriors did not expect that upon hearing Luo Hou’s declaration, the players who were watching from afar suddenly surged forward! “Don’t anyone dare snatch the God-Slaying Spear from me! I’ve got my sights set on it! This spear is simply an artifact!”
“If it weren’t for the God-Slaying Spear, I think Luo Hou would have been killed already. Otherwise, the clan leaders would no longer be hesitant!”
“The God-Slaying Spear is mine! The Pangu Banner is lost, but this spear can comfort my soul!”
“The twelve-rank Destruction Black Lotus looks amazing and has a great vibe. I’m getting it! Who knows, maybe I can even compare with the Buddha in the future! Please, players, give Dragon Shao some face!”
“The Four Swords to Vanquish Immortals, I’m reserving them! No one can snatch them from me! I plan to set up the Sword Array to Vanquish Immortals, ha ha! Only the Four Holy Ones can break it!”
Everyone felt a little embarrassed; this dark Loli was just too greedy! She actually wanted to take all four swords for herself!
In the center of the battlefield, Luo Hou listened to the furious cries of the three corpse gods. They weren’t even dead yet, and these players were already planning to divide up his treasures?
Weren’t they scared of dragging themselves down with him? No matter how tempting the Innate Treasures were, one still needed their life to use them!
What Luo Hou didn’t know was how alluring his treasures were to the players! Life and death were nothing to them!
The top experts in the field also felt a bit conflicted. Though the players had put in a lot of effort in this battle, the ones really fighting were still them! How could it be their right to share the spoils? Players rushed at Luo Hou like hungry wolves, and Luo Hou’s eyes filled with despair as he couldn’t help but close them: “Is it really my fate to fall to these petty players?”
His body swelled as the remnants of his magic began to surge wildly, ready to explode at any moment!
“Who is it?!”
Suddenly, a furious roar came from the Ancestral Dragon high in the sky as an overwhelming chaotic sword energy appeared out of nowhere!
Swish! The chaotic sword energy cut through the sky, shattering the void. The Ancestral Dragon’s defense was as flimsy as paper, easily breached! The torrential dragon’s blood flowed from the wound.
It turned into a rain of dragon blood that constantly dripped down! The battlefield was changing rapidly; having been ambushed, the dragon clan warriors immediately tensed, and the Three Talents Great Formation showed a flaw!
“Good opportunity!”
Luo Hou’s eyes gleamed with brilliance as he pointed at the black lotus beneath him, gritting his teeth: “Explode!”
“Oh no!”
The surrounding attackers roared.
Crash!
In the next moment, a twelve-rank Destruction Black Lotus began to spin and grow larger, its pitch-black appearance growing even more terrifying. Threads of annihilation energy rose within! Petal by petal, the black lotus floated in the void! Boom! A deafening explosion followed! The twelve-rank Destruction Black Lotus self-destructed!
This was a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, one of the four seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus!
In addition to its defenses, it possessed immeasurable uses, sitting at the pinnacle of Innate Treasures, with even the possibility of ascending to Innate Divine Treasures. Who could bear to self-destruct it?
Luo Hou was pushed to his limits and had no choice but to explode!
Players in the area were blown away by the massive explosion. Fortunately, the three clans’ warriors quickly altered their formation for defense; otherwise, there would have been countless casualties!
However, Luo Hou also seized the chance to escape! “What a pity! How did chaotic sword energy show up at the last minute!”
Viewers watching the live stream lamented. They were so close to using the three-clan NPCs to take down one of the ultimate bosses, but unexpected changes had emerged at the last moment!
North Mysterious Rain felt the sword energy seemed familiar and slapped his thigh in realization:
“I know which bastard stirred up trouble!”
“Who is it?” Dragon Shao gritted his teeth. “I swear I will make him feel the players’ wrath!”
North Mysterious Rain: This powerful chaotic sword energy can injure the Ancestral Dragon with a single strike. It must be from the Pangu Banner in Hongjun’s hands! It’s definitely Dao Ancestor Hongjun! At that moment, countless people shouted in disbelief.
The Little Loli cursed through tears: “Hongjun, you old tortoise! Why aren’t you in Yujing Mountain, and instead, causing trouble for me? Wouldn’t it be better to help him eliminate his destined foe?” Woe is me~~ My Four Swords to Vanquish Immortals flew away!
ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3 The netizens couldn’t help but be astonished. Such deathly enemies would actually help each other escape! The Spending Addict marveled: “Hongjun has grown over a hundred times stronger since the last time we besieged him! Just look at this chaotic sword energy. Even if ten of me were here, I wouldn’t be able to dodge it! It even comes with space-shattering capabilities and can track enemies!”
It seems that the last time we besieged Hongjun really was the best chance we had, unfortunately, it didn’t succeed!” Game Master Zhang said: “Old Pig, you shouldn’t regret it. Hongjun could very well become the ruler of the future world. If it were that easy to kill him, he wouldn’t stand a chance at becoming the ultimate victor!” The Little Loli grew more furious: “This is driving me insane! I can’t take it anymore!”
o(╥﹏╥)o o(╥﹏╥)o
“I will take down Hongjun and demand my Four Swords to Vanquish Immortals back!” The cooked duck flies away! The players were enraged, and the netizens sighed. The dark Loli was genuinely angry this time!
After long preparations, it all fell apart because of his intervention. After all this, Hongjun was bound to attract attention. Women always held grudges! Even though he was incredibly powerful as the Dao Ancestor, he couldn’t withstand the players’ endless harassments and obstacles! In the Primordial World, the Ancestral Dragon regained his true form, and as he touched his abdominal wound, streams of golden blood glittered under the sunlight.
“Do you know who ambushed you?” Yuan Feng asked from the side.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had slipped through their fingers; it would be all the more difficult to kill a vigilant Luo Hou in the future! “Only three individuals could unleash such powerful chaotic sword energy in my opinion!” The Ancestral Dragon replied solemnly.
Behind them, Dragon Shao stepped forward: “My King, no need to guess; it was Hongjun, that old schemer!”
“Exactly!” The Little Loli also stepped forward in fury. “Although Hongjun presents himself as a paragon of virtue and always helps weaker beings, mediating conflicts among great clans, in truth, he is sneakier than anyone! In my eyes, he poses a danger hundreds of times greater than Luo Hou! Don’t you see? He’s only here to stir up trouble!”
Behind them, hundreds of players nodded in agreement. Hongjun was more dangerous than the Demon Lord Luo Hou, and having been ambushed by players, he was now exceptionally alert and cunning.
