MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

"Father Emperor!" At this moment, Saint Virtue Crown Prince looked up, facing the old king who sat on the throne, "Your son has a matter to seek your guidance on."

"Oh? Is that so? Speak freely," the old king remained cheerful in demeanor, looking upon Saint Virtue with a kindly face.

"How long, may I ask, has Father Emperor truly lived?"

Upon hearing this question, the old king's expression did not change as he counter-asked, "Why would my son suddenly ask such a question?"

"It is because someone has told your son certain things, and today, here in the Xuantian Hall, I implore you to tell your son!"

"And what if I choose not to say?"

Hearing this, Saint Virtue Crown Prince lowered his eyes, "If Father Emperor does not wish to tell, then let it be."

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha," the old king suddenly burst into laughter, "My son really is the epitome of righteousness, and not in vain did I teach you in the days of old. Very well, you wish to know the truth, then I shall tell you the truth!"

"In fact, your father has lived for over three thousand years."

As he spoke, a demon shadow struggled out from beneath the old king, as if ready to launch an attack on Saint Virtue Crown Prince at any moment.

And knowing the answer, Saint Virtue also showed a look of relief, "It seems your son has not done wrong."

"Done wrong? Even if you made a million mistakes, the fact that you have entered this Imperial Palace today is sufficient!" The old king stood up, step by step descending the stairs, coming face to face with Saint Virtue Crown Prince, "My dear son, come, extend your father's life for another three hundred years, let your father break the barrier set by the Saint Master, and let the light of Saint An spread throughout the entire Star Sea!"

As the old king's voice fell, the demon shadow burst forth from the shadows, charging ferociously at Saint Virtue Crown Prince.

In that instant, a Sword Qi interwoven with Divine Power came from beyond the heavens, causing the demon shadow to retreat repeatedly in fear.

With a loud noise, the Xuantian Hall exploded apart.

And this was the signal of the uprising, as countless elites led by Sword Saint shed their disguises and stormed the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the palace guards also reacted quickly, activating the protective Formation, "Protect His Majesty! Protect Saint Virtue Crown Prince!"

Simultaneously, seven powerful auras soared into the sky, with Sword Saint Lu at the forefront, calmly gazing at the approaching Sword Saint Lu, "His Majesty has treated you well, Sword Saint Lu, what right do you have to betray him? To betray Saint An?"

"I haven't betrayed Saint An, it's His Majesty who has betrayed us! He has long since joined forces with the Eternal Domain and has become their lackey!"

"Impudence!" Sword Saint roared immediately, "Who gave you permission to slander His Majesty thus? Prepare to die!"

With that, a Blood Qi Shockwave rose to the sky, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall giant, which swung its Heavy Sword fiercely at the rebellion led by Sword Saint Lu, attempting to crush them to pieces.

Sword Saint Lu, of course, was not outdone; silvery-gray Sword Qi erupted from within him, wielding a Heavy Sword, he unleashed a Fatal Strike downward, shredding the blood-colored giant to bits.

The two sides exchanged no further words.

"Kill!"

With the thunderous battle cry, two torrents violently collided.

Various Sword Saints were also entwined by top-level combatants from the rebellion, while Lu Hong was tasked with facing Sword Saint Lu.

There was no need to fight, just a bit of acting would suffice.

The two appeared to be fully engaged in battle, but in reality, their attention was focused on the fight between Sword Saint and Angry Blood Warrior.

Sword Saint and Angry Blood Warrior, two of the finest among Saint An's Sword Saints, clashed with unparalleled intensity.

Angry Blood Warrior belonged to the lineage of Angry Blood Warriors, a Third Transformation Bloodthirst warrior.

Whereas Sword Saint Lu had advanced from Great War Master to the sect of Thousand Battles, as two branches of warriors' fighting systems, they inherently carried the flavor of archenemies.

These two factions had long harbored deep internal struggles, but to give credit where it's due, in one-on-one combat, the sect of Thousand Battles was indeed stronger than Bloodthirst.

As the palace guards continued their battle with the uprising forces, casualties began to mount.

Angry Blood Warrior also entered a state of Bloodthirst, gathering inordinate amounts of Blood Qi within him, gradually moving from a position of being suppressed by Sword Saint Lu to one where he was beginning to gain the upper hand.

Although the Sword Saint knew how to solve the problem of bloodthirst, damn it, Saint An had no spell skills, and even if she did, warriors wouldn't know that sort of thing.

"Sword Saint! Those who betray the kingdom—shall be executed!"

Accompanied by the raging Sword Saint's furious roar, the river of blood qi cleaved the sky, and the furious blood sea surged downwards, twisting towards the Sword Saint.

Faced with such power, the Sword Saint stood tall and unmoved while the heavy sword in his hands burst with the ultimate silver light.

Lu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, "I didn't expect he would know this move too."

He recognized the starting stance, but Lu Hong himself had not mastered it. Regarding the advancement to the Great War Master of the Third Transition, it must be said, Lu Hong still had many skills to learn. After advancing to the Third Transition of an Angry Blood Warrior, the newly acquired skills weren't many; the most important was Blood Source Control, because mastering the blood source meant one could leverage the power of blood to simulate all close-quarters combat skills, with the strength linking to the quality and quantity of blood qi, rather than heavily to the specifics of the technique.

However, in comparison, there were countless skills to be learned for the thousand-war lineage. Although these skills were all inscribed within the holy sword, Lu Hong had not yet mastered them.

At that moment, watching the rollicking blood sea rush down, a giant armored warrior formed of sword qi rose from the ground, a sword breaking the heavens, aiming deep into the bloody abyss.

Seeing this, the raging Sword Saint also laughed heartily, "Good, very good, finally I see your signature move. Now let's see whether your sword qi is powerful or my blood-fueled blood qi!"

As he spoke, under the command of the raging Sword Saint, the blood sea deformed, coalescing into a furious fierce beast that viciously collided with the sword-armored giant.

Power erupted, shattering heaven and earth.

Lu Hong glanced at Sword Saint Lu beside him, saw the envy in his eyes, and smiled, "You don't know these skills?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Sword Saint Lu rolled his eyes, "Bloodthirst may be a skill Angry Blood Warriors can study from the early stages of Second Transition, but how many can truly master it?"

"Eh? Is it that difficult?"

"Is it not?"

"Well, it must be very difficult then." Lu Hong did not say more, instead pointing to the Sword Saint, "Do you know what that move of his is called?"

"What Sword Saint just used is called 'Sword Armor,' manipulating sword qi to gather the objects of one's thoughts and can transform anything in the world, very powerful."

"Is this also passed down by the Saint Master?" In fact, Lu Hong had something unclear; in principle, Gui He was merely a descendant of the Angry Blood Warrior lineage, with no opportunity to study the skills of the Great War Master lineage. How then was the lineage of Saint An's Great War Master passed on?

"Yes, the Saint Master established a Holy Temple in the void, where everyone could enter once at the age of twelve to choose their career path."

"I see." Lu Hong nodded; it seemed that this lineage wasn't imparted by Gui He, but directly moved from Divine Grace, a holy temple.

As the turbulence ended, two figures clashed again, with silver-gray sword qi and crimson blood qi splashing ripples, like the blooming of a rare flower.

In close quarters, the Sword Saint regained the dominant force.

Immediately, the raging Sword Saint urged his blood power, and a Bursting Blood Qi Shockwave exploded forth.

Watching the classic move of the blood-rage being released again, Lu Hong nodded in satisfaction; the raging Sword Saint's understanding of warrior skills was profound, each skill release was perfect.

The explosion of blood qi seemed to be anticipated by the Sword Saint, who turned and released a Third Transformation Skill abruptly—an extension of the Fatal Strike that was slightly less sharp, but had a much wider attack range.

And it was this move that allowed the Sword Saint to protect his front, pushing all the explosive blood qi back, the sharp blade of the sword pressing close to the raging Sword Saint's heart.

The raging Sword Saint had not expected the Sword Saint to forcefully confront him head-on, caught off-guard and retreating continuously to dodge the attack.

At this time, Lu Hong turned again to Sword Saint Lu, asking, "Does the raging Sword Saint know the Chaotic Uprising?"

"He probably... does not, after all, this thing is even more difficult to master than Bloodthirst."

Lu Hong glanced at Sword Saint Lu, "You are after all a Third Transition blood-rage warrior, what do you know?"

"I...," Sword Saint Lu was a bit ashamed, "What does it matter to you what I know?"

Outside the Imperial Palace, the battle raged fiercely, but within this Formation-protected, vast palace, it was extremely silent.

The five-colored Divine Power circled around Crown Prince Saint De, preventing the shadow demon from making a move, and the old king's face was sullen as he stared intently at Saint De, "How so? My son, do you also plan to commit patricide?!"

"Father, every life has its end, going against Heaven violates human ethics. Please stop!"
