MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Under the pressure of the lordly title, Wu Kelong and others finally finished listening to Lu Hong's narration in full, especially regarding the blessed weapons, which Xiao Zheng emphasized again.

Wu Kelong nodded, "Thank you, my lord, for your guidance. You are right, our army has suffered heavy losses in the past years after the weapons bestowed by the Saint Master failed. We had guessed this, but due to the overwhelming number of enemies, we couldn't manage to perform the baptism replacement in time. That was an act of desperation."

Since humans rarely live past a thousand years, Wu Kelong almost entirely trusted Lu Hong when he mentioned this point. He came to know about these matters only after inheriting the manuals from his ancestors.

With the issue peacefully resolved, Lu Hong took up the role of a hands-off manager and delegated the task of deploying troops to Saint De and Wu Kelong. Meanwhile, he headed directly to the Star Sea portal, thousands of miles away.

Lu Hong was quite curious about the portal that led to the outer world.

As he approached, a magnificent ancient bronze gate that spanned the horizon emerged at the world's intersection point.

Extending ten thousand miles and carved with numerous ancient races, the artifact appeared as an unparalleled divine item.

Through this massive bronze gate was the endlessly dense domain of demons, legion vast beyond calculation.

However, these menacing demons were held back by the faint divine light emitted by the bronze gate.

Every few minutes, a demon would charge at the divine light, only to die upon the barrier, thereby weakening its power.

Lu Hong stepped into the massive bronze gate and ran his hand over it. An ancient remnant image crossed his mind. It was of ancient Titans, who, after battles of blood and fire, had driven out foreign races to protect the Star Sea and had forged this peerless gate to shelter this world.

Removing his hand, Lu Hong turned and looked at the vast army of demons.

Suddenly, the demonic legion parted to make way, and a tall demon stepped forward, looking through the divine light barrier at Lu Hong, "Who are you?"

"The one who will take your lives," Lu Hong grinned. "Too many warriors have been sacrificed over the years. It's time to end this war."

"Ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!" Facing such arrogant words from Lu Hong, the demons burst into laughter, the leader arrogantly retorted, "Joke, if not for the Heavenly Gods aiding you lowly humans, you'd have been annihilated by our race long ago. Since you speak of ending the war, do you even have the means to cross the barrier and fight me one-on-one?"

Facing the demon's mockery, Lu Hong wondered, "Can I cross it?"

"Turns out you're just rubbish who knows nothing," the demon chuckled. "You don't even understand this formation. I don't know who allowed you to approach this portal, but don't worry, wait a few more days until the divine light dissipates, then I'll personally come and take your head!"

Listening to the demon's threats, Lu Hong nodded, "That would be great, I can't wait to finish all of you off."

Saying this, Lu Hong took a bold step and crossed the barrier, coming face-to-face with the demon.

This move shocked the demon soldiers, causing them to freeze.

The demon leader was quite surprised too, then quickly leaned into Lu Hong's face, his pupils dilating, reflecting Lu Hong, "Good lad, bold indeed. I am the Warlord, your courage grants you the right to live. Just kneel right now, swear fealty to me, and I might consider letting you become a dog under my command."

"Aren't we supposed to fight? Why the sudden change of heart?" Lu Hong laughed, "Are you afraid that you can't defeat me?"

Hearing this, the Warlord's expression chilled, "Human, you seem to misunderstand the situation. Has no one told you about the strength of our demon race?"

"Enough talk, if you're going to attack, do it quickly."

"Is that so? Then die!" Saying this, the Warlord raised his arm, aiming a palm strike at Lu Hong.

"Wait!"

Just then, Lu Hong suddenly called a halt.

The Warlord, as if expecting this, retracted his hand while smiling, "What? Have you had a change of heart? Just kneel and submit, and I might spare your life."

"No, no, no," Lu Hong shook his head. "I just think you're too weak. Call a few more; let's make it a group."

Infuriated by the insult, the Warlord roared, "Seeking death?!"

With that, countless black demonic powers burst forth, sweeping towards Lu Hong.

In a blink, Lu Hong was engulfed by the black demonic power.

However, the Warlord did not feel pleased, as he did not sense the human's death. Instead, a sense of unease gradually welled up in him.

The next second, a five-colored divine light emerged from the sky, cascading down towards Lu Hong.

"Heavenly God—descent!"

Divine light broke through the magic power enveloping Lu Hong.

As soon as he grasped the holy sword, Lu Hong did not waste any words. With a Heaven Slaying strike, he swept through the demons.

Boosted by the divine power, these demons had no resistance. Instantly, the thousand-zhang blood sword cleared out a vacuum in the demon army.

The demon sect also vanished into dust under this strike, dead thoroughly.

This sight terrified the demon army, "Hea... Heavenly God?!"

As they spoke, all the demons started to flee. With no Heavenly God present, they were mere crops before Lu Hong, ready for the harvest, with their only chance of survival being escape.

But Lu Hong was not willing to let these demons escape. Blood Transverse Sky tore through the sky and countless blood enriched by divine power poured down, Blood River Tao Tian, submerging countless demons within.

The chase ensued.

Lu Hong, surrounded by divine light, resembled a reincarnated War God, smashing the million-strong demon army into disarray and total retreat.

After slaying countless demon warriors, Lu Hong's experience was filled, and he smoothly advanced to the Third Transition Middle Stage, singing victoriously as he reached level eight.

By his power alone, to repulse the demon army, this was probably the first occurrence in ten thousand years.

The demons did not expect that a non-Heavenly God realm powerhouse would wield divine power, and it was somewhat difficult to summon a Heavenly God in a short time.

As long as no Heavenly God appeared, there was no end to the slaughter of demons. This was a war between races, with no place for mercy.

Days hurried by, and Saint Master and Wu Kelong searched the entire camp but could not find any trace of Lu Hong.

"Could the Lord have gone to the portal?"

Saint Master glanced at Wu Kelong, "You say that, but it's indeed possible. However, General Wu, there's no need to be too nervous. The Lord has mastered a strand of divine power, enough to ensure his safety."

Wu Kelong nodded, "That's good."

Speaking again, Wu Kelong asked, "Saint Master, are you prepared for this war?"

"Prepared."

"So shall we depart?"

"Depart!"

The military horn sounded through the heavens, and the mighty army of Saint An assembled in just half an hour. All the soldiers, rigorously trained, marched in line, their movements uniform—such a host of warriors was a formidable presence across countless realms.

Had it not been for the special nature of the demon race, the Saint An army might have already defeated the opposition.

Standing among the millions of soldiers, with Wu Kelong accompanying on the right, Saint Master looked over the vast forces and felt a surge of emotion, eventually saying, "My soldiers, do you know the purpose of our mission?"

"To guard Saint An, to defend Star Sea!"

A unified shout shook the heavens.

"Yes. To guard Saint An, to protect our homeland, to defend Star Sea, to defend the humans living in Star Sea. This mission is fraught with deadly peril, and I can promise you nothing, but I can stand with you and never take a step back!"

"Charge!"

The mighty army moved mightily in all directions.

As they approached the portal, the scene before Wu Kelong took him by surprise.

After all, he had previously scouted the portal, and the other side of the bronze gate should have been crammed with an endless demon army, but... now not a single one was in sight?

Saint Master did not know, but seeing no trace of demons on the other side of the gate, he asked, "Have we arrived too early? Has the Heng Realm not yet sent troops?"

"Maybe... it's their ploy, hoping to catch us off-guard by making us lower our guard."

"Hm." Saint Master agreed with this guess and immediately ordered, "Command the entire army to pitch camp here, tighten defenses, and dispatch two legions to distribute the blessed weapons."
