The definition of a Tier Four Nation Destruction Level.

It probably meant that if a country only had Level 4 Adventurers, they would be unable to stop it from destroying the nation, no matter what...

Then the definition of a Tier Five Nation Destruction, I’m afraid, means that even if a nation has a Level 5 Adventurer’s Guild, it still wouldn’t be able to stop its path of destruction...

He had advanced ten kilometers inward.

The Flesh and Blood City had already killed over fifty Humming Hunters.

The Humming Hunters were the most fragile of his Summoned Creatures.

They were easily killed if they got entangled.

But for every one the Flesh and Blood City killed, Lu Cang would summon a replacement. They were essentially inexhaustible.

The Void Pillar Guardians were constantly emitting an attracting aura from the Void Pillars.

Lu Cang could feel that the vast majority of the enemy’s Perception was focused on the Void Pillar Guardian unit.

The Perception scanning in his direction was negligible.

Under the effect of his shielding, the enemy couldn’t notice him at all.

’Perception is certainly useful, but it also requires a great deal of concentration.’

"This way."

Finally, after penetrating deep into the enemy’s belly, Lu Cang arrived at the location of the severed blood vessel.

This entire area of flesh was already completely necrotic.

Upon arriving, Lu Cang dispatched all his Humming Hunters to pursue along the direction of the blood vessel!

WHOOSH!

Ahead was the end of the blood vessel, where it burrowed into the ground.

SLASH!

Twenty Humming Hunters struck simultaneously!

A spray of blood-red light filled the air as they forcibly tore a bloody hole in the ground, a hole that followed the path of the blood vessel.

Lu Cang extended his Perception inside.

It was filled with squirming, fleshy growths.

"Clear the way."

The Humming Hunters continued their charge inward! Lu Cang shared their Perception, making them like his own eyes.

The Humming Hunters worked together to carve a path through the flesh.

They hacked their way along the blood vessel.

SWISH—

After they had flown some distance!

Suddenly, an extremely fast tentacle shot out from the inner wall!

It dragged over a dozen Humming Hunters into the fleshy walls on either side, and his connection with them was severed.

’They were eaten...’

Lu Cang immediately summoned new ones, and the legion of Headless Frenzy Warriors following close behind arrived. These Headless Frenzy Warriors were not nearly as fragile.

Tentacles extended from inside the walls, wrapping around their ankles.

They broke free with sheer brute force, their movements completely unaffected.

Deeper and deeper they went, following the blood vessel...

The counterattacks they faced grew stronger, and they even encountered parasitic Tier Four Nation Destruction Level flesh Demons.

Unfortunately for them, these Demons were nothing more than fodder for Lu Cang to casually chop down.

Lu Cang didn’t explore inward with the main force. Instead, he remained high in the sky, following them only with his Perception.

Whenever there were casualties, he would immediately summon replacements at the nearest possible location.

And send a new one in.

The legions sent to explore consisted only of Humming Hunters and Headless Frenzy Warriors.

Neither of these two types was excessively large.

The Void Pillar Guardians, as well as the other two types of Summoned Creatures floating in the sky, were far too large.

It would be inconvenient for them to enter.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t create a larger opening, but doing so would be too troublesome and would only increase his workload.

’Being large isn’t always a good thing...’

They continued to dig and explore inward like this for another ten kilometers or so. He lost about 100 Humming Hunters and 12 Headless Frenzy Warriors.

Finally, they reached the... end of the blood vessel.

The fleshy wall was breached, revealing a bloody, cramped space containing a pulsating mass of brain matter.

On all sides were throbbing walls...

"This should be the core."

It was written in the Basic Theory of Demons that the vast majority of Demons have a core weakness, just as humans will die if their heart or brain is destroyed.

Almost all Demons possess one such critically important organ.

As the saying goes.

A single strike to the enemy’s heart is better than hundreds of attacks against its hard shell.

"It’s hidden really deep."

It was hidden deep underground, in a space only the size of a three-story villa, buried in flesh and blood...

’If I hadn’t followed the blood vessel, I really wouldn’t have found it.’

’If I hadn’t thought to follow the vessel, and instead tried to destroy all the city’s major blood vessels one by one with the Observation Mirror, who knows how long that would have taken.’

Destroying that one blood vessel only caused the surrounding flesh to wither a little.

If he tried to kill it with that level of efficiency, withering just a small patch at a time, the damage output would be far too low.

The city was so massive, Lu Cang worried that with this fleshy creature’s regeneration speed, by the time he finished destroying the vessels on the west side, the east side would have already regrown.

A single point of "Source" lit up on Lu Cang’s Magic Staff.

WHOOSH!

This point of "Source" transformed into light and shot straight toward the entrance of the bloody tunnel.

Midway, it transformed directly into a Flying Ice Bee and zipped along the carved-out path at extreme speed.

The path was a winding, convoluted one.

He’d had to constantly dig through flesh to advance, which took a great deal of effort.

’If I had to do all this myself, it would have been incredibly troublesome.’

SWISH!

The Flying Ice Bee flew to the end of the path and arrived in the room filled with brain matter, where a single large brain throbbed in the center.

Lu Cang could clearly see an extremely thick blood vessel beneath the brain, which was connected to over a hundred branches.

Those branches split into more branches, spreading out in all directions. The vessel he had been chasing was just one of them.

The colorful Flying Ice Bee landed on top of the brain.

[Source·Convergence Burst (Tier Two) (Level 301)]

[Sacrifice Soul: 50,000,000]

This was Lu Cang’s most extravagant Sacrifice yet!

A fifty million Soul Sacrifice!

The light of the Convergence Burst was more brilliant than ever before!

From his position high in the sky, Lu Cang could almost see countless souls ascending, as if in praise!

The Magic of a Death Priest.

’Do souls sing praises when this Magic is used?’

Lu Cang didn’t know; after all, he had never met another Death Priest besides himself.

Then, in the very next instant—

HUMMM!

It felt as though all sound had vanished, and in that moment, the world lost all light and color!

BOOM!

An instant later, a violent roar erupted!

Countless souls rose toward the sky!

A shockwave blasted out, scattering the clouds and mist!

A spherical impact spread out in all directions!

Even Lu Cang couldn’t help but shield himself from the impact.

He gazed down below. When everything had fallen silent...

...all that remained on the ground was a giant crater with a fifteen-kilometer radius!

Lu Cang had compressed the Range to drastically increase its Power.

At the edge of the crater, traces of flesh still remained.

However, this flesh rapidly turned deathly pale, then black, clearly having lost all vitality.

Like a chain of dominoes, the flesh farther and farther away began to turn black.

About five minutes passed.

The entire city turned black and withered completely.

A Teleportation Gate leading to the next floor, just like before, appeared in the distance.

"It’s over..."

’A Tier Five Nation Destruction Level Demon is indeed hard to kill.’

’This one was just a regenerative, attrition-based, restorative type, and even so, its offensive power allowed it to slaughter my Tier Four Nation Destruction Level Summoned Creatures like chickens.’

’Even when I went straight for its weak point...’

’...I still lost 452 Tier Four Nation Destruction Level Summoned Creatures to kill it.’

’Though, to be fair, the vast majority of the casualties were Humming Hunters.’

’If it hadn’t been me...’

’...could anyone else have killed it?’

Lu Cang couldn’t help but think of Xu Zhou. With his strength... ’It would probably be difficult.’

’Forget floor 100, he’d probably get stuck somewhere in the 90s.’

’Which means... that Lu Luwei.’

’Lu Luwei also cleared 100 floors. It seems my opponents in this War God Cup aren’t as simple as I thought...’

Lu Cang walked toward the Teleportation Gate.

The next stage should be the reward settlement.

The rewards for the War God Tower were settled all at once after leaving, calculated based on the highest floor reached.

Of course, one could also clear a key floor, leave the War God Tower to collect the rewards, and then return to challenge it again.

There was no limit to the number of attempts, because when you truly couldn’t win... you just couldn’t win, no matter what.

Lu Cang approached the Teleportation Gate.

Just as his Perception Ability swept over the Teleportation Gate...

...he suddenly felt...

[Secret: Door]

[Hidden Object: Hidden War God Inheritance Challenge]

[Opening Method: Break this door]

’There’s a hidden part?’
