MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Time passed, moment by moment, and the divine light surging above the bronze giant gate flickered like a candle in the wind, bright one moment and dim the next.

Saint Master and Wu Kelong, among other strong figures, gripped their weapons tightly, their breathing becoming rapid. Although there was nothing on the other side of the gate, who could guarantee that this was not a ploy set by the demonic clan?

Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless soldiers, the divine light extinguished, and the gates swung wide open, connecting to the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

At that moment, everyone held their breath, their palms already sweaty.

As time ticked by, with the gate wide open, there truly was no sign of even a hair from the demonic clan.

"It shouldn't be like this, right?" Wu Kelong was now truly filled with questions.

Saint Master also spoke up and asked, "General Wu, what exactly is going on here?"

"Your Majesty, I have no idea. Normally, behind the bronze gate, there should have been an endless army of demons assembled, but..."

Saint Master's brow furrowed slightly, "General Wu, do you mean to say that you have not sent anyone to surveil the eternal clan?"

Wu Kelong shook his head, "We did implement such measures before, but they couldn't last. You haven't seen it — that boundless black ocean and those terrifying demonic clan powerhouses emitting horror. Even with the protection of formations laid out by the Saint Master, our soldiers, after watching for too long, would suffer spiritual damage, leaving indelible fear. Therefore, except when the eternal war begins, everyone must follow the orders of our ancestors and not approach the gate at all."

After listening to Wu Kelong's explanation, the king of Saint Master took a deep breath and then said, "Then let's wait. No matter what schemes the eternal realm has, we will remain unchanging in response to all their changes."

And so, a month passed, and still nothing appeared on the other side of the bronze giant gate.

Wu Kelong had already sent multiple scout teams to explore the ancient roads of the heavens, but unfortunately, they all came back empty-handed.

The demons killed by Divine Power would dissolve like snow, leaving no trace of their existence; thus, this was also why Lu Hong, after slaughtering countless members of the demonic clan in front of the bronze gate, could not be detected.

Sixteen scout teams continuously ranged out thirty thousand miles, having searched all areas around the bronze giant gate, but still with no discoveries.

The absence of battle might sound like good news.

But for Wu Kelong and Saint Master, this was a hundred times harder to endure than outright warfare.

Because they knew that the eternal realm, which had entangled with them for ten thousand years, would not give up its invasion of the Star Sea.

Over this month, Wu Kelong visibly felt himself age by no less than fifty years, unable to sleep night after night, endlessly pondering what kind of plan the demons were executing that even made them voluntarily give up such a precious opportunity to attack. It was important to know that in another two months, once the bronze giant gate recharged, these creatures would have to wait another millennium.

Crown Prince of Saint Master felt the same way. At his prime age, he figured if he continued like this, he wouldn't live past fifty.

The great army of Saint Master was also on edge, acting like skittish cats at the slightest disturbance.

Fortunately, these days came to an end.

Lu Hong had pushed through a hundred thousand miles of the ancient road, nearly annihilating the demonic army.

Originally, Lu Hong thought about going deeper, but then decided to return first to report to Saint Master and the others, to put their minds at ease.

After this massacre, Lu Hong's level had soared like a rocket, reaching level ten of the Third Transition.

With such profound strength, this level ten powerhouse was enough to rival a Demigod.

Sentinels watching from afar noticed a figure on the horizon and immediately shouted anxiously, "There's something happening! Your Majesty! There's something happening!"

Hearing this, the king of Saint Master quickly jumped onto the hastily constructed Watchtower and gazed intently, then sighed with relief, "Don't panic, it's our Lord."

Before long, Lu Hong arrived in front of Saint Master and the others.

Wu Kelong was the most anxious, "My Lord, did you encounter the demonic army on your journey?"

"I've encountered them," Lu Hong nodded.

"And... where are they now?" Wu Kelong asked anxiously, "During these days the dark demons have made no move, they must be brewing some terrible conspiracy, planning to destroy our Saint Ann defensive line in one fell swoop. If you have any clues, please inform us in detail, so we can be prepared."

Hearing Wu Kelong's words, Lu Hong gave a faint smile and waved his hand, "No need for that. I've seen the dark demon army, but they've all been killed by me. You don't need to be too nervous. As long as no God Realm powerhouses intervene, I can handle it."

"You... are you sure?!" Wu Kelong obviously didn't believe it, and even the King of Saintly Virtue was skeptical.

"Believe it or not, that's up to you. But looking at you all... did you not sleep well?"

Everyone looked at each other, their dark, undissolvable circles under their eyes proving rather conspicuous.

To Lu Hong, bearing the title of a lord and the highest ruler of the warrior class, his words could not be taken lightly. However, Wu Kelong and the King of Saintly Virtue still dared not fully believe him. After all, how could one person possibly wipe out an army of over ten million dark demons?

"Rest in shifts and stay vigilant." But indeed, the prolonged mental tension needed to be eased. Wu Kelong ultimately decided to order rest in batches, do a thorough check, and additionally deployed thirty more scout squads to survey the enemy situation.

Entering the tent, Lu Hong also recounted the details of the battle to the King of Saintly Virtue. The recount was rather fantastical, with claims such as "a single skill wiped them out" that no Sword Saint would believe.

Instead, they wondered if this Blood Lord... might be a bit too fond of boasting?

Whether they believed him or not, Lu Hong didn't care. Once he finished explaining the situation, he lay down on the spot and began to rest. After more than a month of fighting, albeit easy, he was still tired from the long hours of operation, especially from continuously invoking 'Heavenly God Descends' and expending life force, which had caused him significant depletion. Though the God Realm path had Spiritual Energy, it wasn't abundant enough to replenish him in time.

Back from this journey, Lu Hong needed to properly recover before he could delve deeper into the ancient path to search for Gui He.

After a week of recuperation, Lu Hong set off again, entering the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds path.

Previously he had been pursuing the dark demons, but this time he could afford to appreciate the scenery of the ancient path.

Speaking of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, it sounds as if there should be a collection of independent worlds existing beneath the starry sky.

But standing on the ancient path and looking back at the Star Sea, that bronze gate seemed like the entrance to a village, and indeed, the All Heavens path was a very broad road.

There were also continuous mountains, rivers, and lakes all around.

However, under the scourge of the dark demons, there were no other living creatures.

While previously chasing the dark demons, Lu Hong had discovered a presence similar to the bronze gate. This time, he intended to go in and investigate, to see what might be left behind that door.

After about half a month's travel following the road, Lu Hong arrived at a brass gate, a much smaller construction compared to the bronze one, measuring only about three thousand meters across, with no defensive measures in place.

Stepping through the unguarded gate, what hit him was a wave of deathly aura.

Although the deathly aura was thick, the Spiritual Energy was quite abundant.

Venturing further, the vegetation around him grew lushly, but there was still no sign of any living beings, not even wild animals.

After crossing through the gateway's plane, Lu Hong arrived at the central core of this world.

This world was much smaller than the Star Sea but contained over three hundred scattered planes within it. It should have bred a thriving civilization, but given the likelihood of an invasion by the dark demons, it had been completely wiped out.

If the dark demons didn't mean to occupy these planes, why did they feel the need to kill all the creatures within them?

Walking through these desolate planes and observing the remains of shattered buildings, Lu Hong could tell that this world once had a very advanced level of cultivation. The remnants of cultivation completely differed from the heritage of Star Sea. The understanding of strength and Magic Power was unique and innovative.

As Lu Hong entered the third plane for his visit, he sensed a faint life force.

Are there survivors?!

Looking into the distance, he quickly locked onto two extremely faint life auras. If he hadn't achieved a significant increase in strength from killing the dark demons this time, he likely wouldn't have detected them.

Lu Hong raised his hands and called out towards the hiding spot of the others, "I mean no harm. I'm just passing by. If you do not wish to meet, I can leave right now."
