The peak combat power of the Lizardman Chief! (6000)

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt slightly reassured.

At the same time, he was once again extremely satisfied with Braum's defense!

After all, this was the focused fire of two Demigods!

If it were any other Legendary powerhouse, they might have been killed instantly in less than a second!

Yet, Braum could endure for 60 seconds; it could be said to be beyond imagination.

Of course, these two Demigods couldn't just keep using basic attacks; they definitely had all sorts of terrifying skills!

So, Cao Xing needed to be extra careful and be ready to provide support at any moment.

"Boom— Rumble—"

Golden war blades and blood-colored energy impacts continuously hammered against Braum, and the space in that area was directly shattered with dense cracks.

Of course, Cao Xing and the others were not idle, either, attacking the enemies frantically.

Five seconds into the battle between Demigods, Braum's HP was dropping crazily!

Seven hundred million—six hundred million—five hundred million. In the blink of an eye, it had dropped by two hundred million!

Meanwhile, Dragon Speaker, Malenia, Isabelle, and the others were all continuously unleashing terrifying attacks, bombarding these two Demigods.

However, when faced with everyone's focused fire, they either dodged with ease or casually raised their weapons to block.

Occasionally, when a portion of the attacks landed on them, it only dealt fifty or sixty damage.

Although they didn't know how much HP Demigod-level creatures had, it was clear that their attacks were not posing much of a threat.

Blood Commander had an indifferent look in his eyes and let out a cold snort.

"Overestimating your own capabilities."

Seeing this, Cao Xing sighed inwardly.

"For a Legendary, a Demigod is indeed an insurmountable chasm."

Of course, this was also because Cao Xing hadn't unleashed his full power yet.

He still held many Legendary skills in his hand; these skills combined crowd control, armor reduction, and super-high burst damage.

If he used them all, he could definitely deal significant damage to the Demigods.

However, these skills all required the use of Divine Power, and since they had only just broken through to Legendary, their accumulation was insufficient, so they couldn't use these skills at will yet.

Cao Xing shook his head.

"Forget it, as long as we can withstand these guys' attacks, that's enough. Once we slowly improve in the future, we will still be able to slay Demigods with Legendary power!"

They still had many opportunities for improvement ahead.

In addition to all the Legendaries breaking through to level 150, those support classes hadn't broken through yet.

Once those support classes advanced to Legendary, the values of various status skills could be greatly increased!

In the brief moment he was thinking, about six seconds had passed in the battle.

The two Demigod-level powerhouses were still attacking Braum frantically!

"Crack—"

The golden war blade hacked and slashed wildly, each strike carrying the force of ten thousand tons, carving cracks into Braum's Glacier Armor.

It was as if a Frost Giant was about to shatter!

In the blink of an eye, Braum's HP dropped by another one hundred million, and his aura suddenly plummeted.

Blood Commander and the Watchers leader also sensed Braum's waning strength.

Their eyes turned cold, and their attack speed instantly accelerated!

And at this critical moment, Isabelle, who had been holding onto [Revelation · Anthem], directly took action.

"Whoosh—"

A vast force of light elemental energy quickly landed on Braum.

Then, vigorous life force surged up from within his body.

The instantly dissipated life aura even caused tender green plants to sprout from the ground below.

+2,964,185,235

A healing figure of a full 2.9 billion appeared, directly raising Braum's HP to the maximum!

His aura recovered instantly, and the Profound Ice Armor, which had been covered in cracks, also rapidly restored itself.

Seeing this, even the knowledgeable two Demigods showed looks of bewilderment in their eyes.

The next moment, Blood Commander raged: "Damn it! This is the healing method of those guys from the Church!"

"With this Saint Light Sage here, we can't kill this Shield Guard in the short term!"

Hearing this, the expression of the Watchers leader also became increasingly grave.

He glanced at Isabelle, then at the other Legendaries beside Cao Xing, "Cao Xing, is this your reliance?"

Meanwhile, below, the Lizardman Chieftain and the Ice Crystal King, who were absorbing the [Blood Core] and whose auras were constantly rising, also noticed the battle situation above.

Looks of admiration could not help but appear in their eyes.

Cao Xing had previously said he could hold off two Demigods, and the two of them hadn't quite believed it.

However, it now appeared that not only could he hold them off, but he was even doing so with ease.

They looked at Cao Xing's strength with newfound respect.

Compared to the old Chieftain's relief, Blood Commander appeared increasingly anxious.

Because he knew that if they couldn't quickly finish off Cao Xing and the others, once the old Chieftain and the Ice Crystal King below recovered, they would be even less of a match!

Blood Commander seemed to have made a decision and said coldly: "Luo, let me do it! Use a Demigod skill to wipe them all out at once!"

But the Watchers leader shook his head and said: "No, your 'Blood Realm Tide' is too dangerous. There are still many civilians in this area, and they will all die because of your attack."

Blood Commander's eyes widened immediately, and he asked in disbelief: "At a time like this, you are still being so soft-hearted?"

"If this goes on, once those two old guys recover, we will be the ones defeated!"

But the Watchers leader firmly shook his head, "No, this is my bottom line."

Blood Commander blasted out a blood-colored energy ball and then raged: "To hell with your bottom line, today I am going to wipe them all out!"

As he spoke, monstrous blood energy erupted from his body and spread at an extremely terrifying speed.

In an instant, it spread out for hundreds of kilometers, shrouding the entire Snowy Plateau!

All living beings on this plateau felt a suffocating sense of discomfort, as if they had been soaked in a pool of blood; breathing was difficult, and their nostrils were filled with a strong smell of blood!

The Watchers leader looked at Blood Commander and said coldly: "Aetius, don't forget, your Blood Cores are still in my hands."

"Are you sure you want to disobey my orders?"

Hearing this, the aura on Blood Commander's body suddenly faltered, and the aura shrouding the entire Snowy Plateau dissipated in an instant.

With bloodshot eyes, he gritted his teeth and raged: "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

The Watchers leader scanned the battlefield with an indifferent gaze and said in a calm tone: "Let me do it."

"I will use a Demigod skill to slay them all."

The next moment, the heavens and earth suddenly changed color!

He slowly raised his right hand, and a huge golden war blade pierced through the blood clouds, slowly emerging from the sky.

The war blade was over a thousand meters long, radiating endless golden light from its entire body, dyeing the blood clouds of the entire sky into golden auspicious clouds.

Even from over a thousand kilometers away, one could see the outline of this war blade.

The mountain ranges of the entire Snowy Plateau trembled violently under this terrifying power.

One snow-capped mountain after another collapsed, triggering massive avalanches!

Everyone looked up, feeling uneasy.

Cao Xing said with a grave expression: "Is this the true strength of the Watchers leader?"

"With a single strike, it shrouds the entire Snowy Plateau; it's terrifying—"

Being locked on by this kind of attack, there wasn't even a chance to escape.

Because no matter how fast you were, it was impossible to run several hundred kilometers in an instant!

In the moment he was thinking, the golden war blade, which seemed slow, pressed down at an extremely fast speed.

A suffocating pressure washed over them!

Even Cao Xing was a little unsure if Braum could withstand this strike.

"Let's try it; anyway, we all have one resurrection."

"Even if his strike is monstrous, as long as it isn't a multi-stage attack, he won't be able to one-shot us."

Just as he was preparing to rely on a series of buffs on his body to tank it, a strong tremor suddenly came from the ground below.

Then, two terrifying auras rose up, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield!

One of them even directly reached the Demigod realm!

And it wasn't just an ordinary Demigod; the intensity even reached the level of Blood Commander!

A towering figure holding a holy sword and clad in battle armor, along with a massive lizard reaching ten thousand meters in length, appeared out of nowhere!

The Lizardman Chieftain and the old King had completely absorbed the power within the [Blood Core] and returned to their peak state!

The Watchers leader stared fixedly at the Lizardman Chieftain below and said gravely: "Mid-stage Demigod? And it doesn't look like he's borrowing other methods; it seems more like his own power."

"Could it be that he has also ignited the Divine Fire?"

Although his heart was full of doubts, he still unhesitatingly controlled the golden greatsword in the sky, causing it to fall rapidly.

It sounds slow, but from the moment the Watchers leader summoned the golden greatsword to the moment the Lizardman Chieftain revived, the entire process took less than a second.

The Lizardman Chieftain also sensed the horror of this strike and directly opened his blood-red mouth.

A pale golden beam of light erupted from his mouth, shooting straight into the sky!

"Whoosh—"

"Rumble—"

The beam of light collided with the golden holy sword in mid-air, and the two completely different forces began to devour and annihilate each other.

Then, the beam of light and the golden holy sword vanished simultaneously, triggering a heaven-shaking explosion!

A terrifying energy storm spread out from tens of thousands of meters high in the air!

The surrounding snow was instantly blown away, and the nearby high mountains were directly razed to the ground.

The entire Snowy Plateau seemed to have experienced an apocalyptic earthquake.

Massive cracks ten thousand meters long appeared, as if tearing the earth apart!

This was the power of the Demigod-level; with a full-strength strike, it could even destroy an entire region.

When the terrifying aftermath dissipated, everyone was standing in place.

The Lizardman Chieftain had successfully blocked this terrifying strike!

The expression of the Watchers leader had become unprecedentedly grave, "You are not an ordinary Legendary; you were once a Demigod too!"

"And—your power at your peak was even stronger than mine."

"What happened to you? How could you have fallen to this current realm?"

Hearing this, everyone's gaze on the field fell upon the giant lizard.

A look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

So, the Lizardman Chieftain once possessed the power of a Demigod.

No wonder he was so powerful!

It seemed that his five [Blood Core]s had allowed him to briefly recover to his peak combat power.

And while everyone's attention was on the Watchers leader and the old Chieftain, a blood-colored figure appeared silently behind the group.

It was Blood Commander.

His gaze was fixed on Cao Xing, his eyes filled with intense killing intent!

[part:gemini-3.5-flash]

"Damned human brat, die!"

Then, he quickly made his move, a blood sword as thick as a thumb hurtling towards him at extreme speed!

A sneak attack from a Demigod was something a Tier 10 existence like Cao Xing could not possibly react to in time!

A fatal crisis struck!

Seeing the danger, Liu Muxue beside him reacted quickly, raising her hand to cast a Holy Shield that instantly enveloped Cao Xing!

*Crack!*

The Holy Shield shattered, blocking the fatal blow.

Having failed his first strike, the Blood Commander's eyes turned cold.

Just as he was about to attack again,

four earth-shattering sword qi slashed forward at a speed that seemed to transcend space!

*Swish!!*

Four consecutive strikes hit the Blood Commander dead-on, leaving four terrifying bloody gashes on his body, as if about to slice him into several pieces.

He looked at the wounds on his body. "The Nine Swords of Holy Judgment… You old geezer, you actually directly used the power of the Kingdom's Holy Sword?"

The old king laughed. "A Demigod actually resorting to a sneak attack against a Tier 10 kid? You really do bring 'honor' to Demigods!"

The Blood Commander's face grew even gloomier. "Old geezer, even if you can use the power of a demigod artifact, how many more strikes can you unleash?"

"I am definitely killing this brat today!"

With those words, a massive bloody hand condensed once more, preparing to slam down hard on Cao Xing.

Right then, the old king took a deep breath, gripped the Kingdom's Holy Sword in his hand, and slashed out violently!

*Swish! Swish!!*

Three consecutive strikes, each sword qi spanning tens of thousands of meters, as if about to slice heaven and earth apart!

Last time, the old king was completely exhausted after unleashing three consecutive strikes,

but this time, he had unleashed seven consecutive strikes and still appeared full of vigor and imposing momentum.

Meanwhile, the Blood Commander's body took three more wounds, looking as if he was about to fall apart.

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, the Leader of the Watchers quickly shouted, "Aetius, come back!"

Hearing this, although the Blood Commander was unwilling, he knew he couldn't take the Ice Crystal King's slashes head-on.

He instantly dissolved into a cloud of blood mist, attempting to flee.

Just then, the old king's eerie voice drifted from behind him,

"Didn't you want to test the full power of the Nine Swords of Holy Judgment?"

"Then today, I'll let you see it with your own eyes!"

He took a deep breath, his aged skin rapidly swelling as if the power within his body was surging frantically.

Then, he violently slashed out the final two strikes!

*Swish! Swish!*

Fast! Too fast!

The speed of these two strikes far exceeded even the reaction time of a Demigod-level powerhouse!

*Pfft—!*

After taking these last two strikes, the Blood Commander's body exploded on the spot!

*Splatter…*

A thick cloud of blood mist dispersed in the air, and a rain of blood gradually began to fall from the sky.

Immediately after, the blood mist rapidly gathered beside the Leader of the Watchers, gradually reconstructing the Blood Commander's body.

Clearly, he had triggered the effect of 'Blood Resurrection'.

However, unlike those Legendary Myriarchs who would be in a weakened state after resurrecting,

the Blood Commander's resurrection talent was clearly much stronger, restoring him directly to his peak state.

Upon resurrecting, he was filled with a towering intent to kill, glaring at Cao Xing and the old king as if he wanted to skin them alive and swallow them whole!

"Luo, the Ice Crystal King has already used the Nine Swords of Holy Judgment. They no longer have the strength to harm us."

"Let's strike together and wipe out these damned pests!"

The Blood Commander's killing intent boiled; even though he had died once, he still refused to back down!

The Leader of the Watchers pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Fine, I'll hold off this Lizardman. You go and slay them!"

Before his voice even faded, the two Demigods vanished from their spots once more, a terrifying pressure sweeping over.

Just then, the Lizardman Chieftain suddenly spoke up, "Who said we don't have the power to harm Demigods?"

With those words, he opened his bloody maw once more.

*Whoosh—*

A terrifying suction force erupted, as if it could swallow ten-thousand-meter-tall mountains whole.

The figures of the Blood Commander and the Leader of the Watchers were forced out of hiding, flying involuntarily toward the Lizardman Chieftain.

At the same time, an aged voice sounded in Cao Xing's ear.

"Lord Cao Xing, do it."

In this instant, he understood.

Without any hesitation, Cao Xing took out the Lizardman Statue, directly consuming 5 Divine Power Shards to replenish his divine power.

He activated the statue's strongest ultimate skill: Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor—Destruction Death Ray!

*Hum!*

In the sky, another giant lizard phantom, measuring ten thousand meters in size and completely on par with the old chieftain, appeared, making the entire world tremble.

Then, the lizard quickly opened its massive mouth, condensing vast energy within.

In the next instant, a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth, stretching dozens of kilometers, emerged.

The pillar of light blasted directly onto the bodies of the Blood Commander and the Leader of the Watchers.

*Hum! Hum, hum!*

[-67,235,642]

[-74,186,216]

[-97,141,983]

[-113,782,955]

[-138,626,177]

Terrifying damage numbers popped up one after another.

This wave of the Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor could be said to have landed every single hit squarely.

It dealt at least over two billion damage!

At this moment, everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the center of the battlefield!

"Are they dead?"

There was a hint of anticipation in the old king's voice.

He could feel that the attack power of the light pillar unleashed by Cao Xing was extremely formidable, only slightly weaker than his Nine Swords of Holy Judgment.

An attack of this level could definitely heavily wound, or even kill, a Demigod!

However… when all the energy fluctuations dissipated, two slightly battered figures appeared before everyone.

Although they were covered in wounds, they still stood firm.

"Holy crap, they're still not dead?"

Surprise flickered in Cao Xing's eyes.

The sheer vitality of a Demigod-level powerhouse was truly beyond imagination.

However, although they weren't killed, the state of these two was already extremely poor.

After all, even a Demigod would find it difficult to emerge unscathed from an attack of that level.

At this moment, a violent aura surged from the Blood Commander.

Ever since those nine Blood Myriarchs had been completely wiped out, he had somewhat lost his mind.

His voice was filled with madness and rage: "Not only did you force me to use up a resurrection chance, but you also injured me this heavily!"

"Cao Xing, do you know how many lives I have to devour just to recover?"

His blood-red gaze locked directly onto the Frost Mage in the crowd, as if he would tear them to shreds in the next second.

Cao Xing shrugged, his tone completely indifferent. "What does that have to do with me?"

However, the more nonchalant his attitude, the more it infuriated the Blood Commander.

His expression grew increasingly distorted, and the killing intent in his eyes practically materialized.

"Luo! Let's strike together. Even if I die in battle here today, I will kill them all!"

The Leader of the Watchers beside him frowned, clearly seeing that the Blood Commander's state was somewhat off.

"Aetius, calm down."

However, the Blood Commander turned his head and roared, "Calm down? If all of your Watcher Elders were killed by this brat, could you stay calm?!"

The Leader of the Watchers fell silent for a moment, knowing that he did have a point.

If it were him, he would probably fall into the same madness.

However, the current situation was clearly unfavorable to them. If they kept fighting, one of them might actually fall here.

But the Blood Commander disregarded everything, directly releasing a towering wave of blood energy that enveloped everyone once more!

"Today, not a single one of you will escape!"

A terrifying aura filled the entire Snowy Plateau!

This was the precursor to a Demigod-level skill!

Seeing this, a ruthless look also surfaced in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Damn, so arrogant!"

"I still have one skill I haven't used yet. Even if I burn through all my Divine Power Shards today, I'll take you out!"

"It's the perfect chance for me to get the achievement for first-killing a Demigod!"

With that, he took out the Lizardman Statue once more. A bizarre and venomous aura spread out again, making even the air feel thick and sticky.

The Leader of the Watchers felt a sense of crisis once again from the statue in Cao Xing's hand!

He hurriedly shouted, "Let's go, stop tangling with them here!"

"They have a Legendary Shield Guard. We won't be able to gain any advantage in the short term."

At this point, the Leader of the Watchers quickly added, "This is an order, Aetius. If you want our plan to fail completely, then go ahead and have it your way."

"And I will also communicate with the existences of the Blood Plane to have them replace you with another batch of people."

Hearing this, the Blood Commander seemed to wake from a dream, the madness in his eyes gradually fading.

He gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to obey the order.

With those words, the two of them quickly turned around, transforming into streaks of light and rushing forward.

Seeing this, Cao Xing knew they wanted to run.

So he quickly said, "Attack with all your might! Keep them here!"

In this instant, every Legendary and even Demigod on the field unleashed their attacks without hesitation!

Cao Xing, a Tier 10 Otherworld Lord, had actually become the commander of this battle.

However, the Leader of the Watchers had absolutely no desire to continue tangling with them.

With a wave of his hand, a golden barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking everyone's attacks.

Then, he fled toward the horizon without hesitation.

*Boom—!*

Everyone's attacks exploded against the barrier, but failed to keep them.

"Damn it, they sure run fast!" Cao Xing cursed, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Seeing Cao Xing like this, the Lizardman Chieftain and the old king exchanged a glance behind him, strange expressions appearing in their eyes.

They were both old monsters who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years,

but what happened today was still somewhat beyond their comprehension.

A Tier 10 Otherworld Lord had sent two Demigods fleeing in panic.

This was something that had never happened before in history—

(PS: Tomorrow I will organize the conditions for breaking through to Demigod, then digest the rewards. This expansion pack is about to end.)
