MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1290 - 267: Arrogance and Conceit
Hearing this, Duo Rentu chuckled softly, as if insulted, his expression quickly turning cold: "What? Have you killed many people too? Oh right, I heard you previously led people to slaughter two cities. What’s that? Just killing some worthless trash makes you think you’re invincible?"
Facing Duo Rentu’s provocation, Lu Hong didn’t respond directly, instead asking, "Did you come here to die today?"
"To die?" Duo Rentu raised an eyebrow: "Kid, I advise you to take your people and leave the Western Battle Zone. Seizing your Photon City soldiers and coveting your Spirit Cultivation Secret Technique was indeed improper, but the Western Battle Zone belongs to the Duo Family, and it won’t allow you to run wild. Spiritual Cultivation is an unstoppable force, even if the Western Battle Zone doesn’t take your Secret Technique, others will find ways to seize it from Photon City. You should better come to terms with this matter. I’m not unreasonable; if you withdraw from the Western Battle Zone today, the Duo Family is willing to compensate for this issue. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Duo Rentu’s offer, Lu Hong was slightly surprised: "From your expression, it doesn’t look like you’re sincerely seeking peace with me. Why say such things? Let me guess... hmmm..."
Lu Hong seemed to think of something and smiled: "You’re looking to ask me something, aren’t you?"
Duo Rentu wasn’t upset at having his thoughts exposed; his mood instantly calmed, his expression returning to serenity as he spoke: "Yes, I’ve thoroughly understood the Meditation Technique you passed to the Qin Long Guards. Though this cultivation technique isn’t bad, I believe it’s incomplete. Or perhaps, the quality of Spiritual Energy absorbed and transformed through this meditation method, though not weaker than the Martial King’s Vital Energy, doesn’t seem fitting for this realm. There should be more exquisite meditation methods within the Martial King Realm, ways that can further transform Spiritual Energy and improve its quality."
Responding to Duo Rentu’s conjectures, Lu Hong nodded: "You’re correct. Spiritual Cultivation divides into Three Transformations, corresponding to all realms up to Martial Emperor in your cultivation system. The Meditation Technique I passed to Qin Longwei results in Spiritual Power quality that only matches Second Transformation, roughly at Early Stage Martial King level. Once you breakthrough to Third Transformation, under more exquisite meditation techniques, Spiritual Power quality will achieve a qualitative leap, like this."
Saying this, Lu Hong waved his hand and a Heavy Sword, condensed by Pure Steel Battle Energy, landed in his hand, which he then tossed to Duo Rentu.
Duo Rentu caught the Heavy Sword, his expression instantly awestruck as he touched it: "This Spiritual Energy is truly magical; it’s created from nothing, profoundly wondrous!"
Indeed, Duo Rentu may not have realized it otherwise, but he’s absolutely certain that this Heavy Sword was forged by Lu Hong gathering Spiritual Energy, turning invisible energy in between heaven and earth into a weapon that could be touched, indistinguishable from a physical entity. This matter far exceeded Duo Rentu’s understanding over the years.
Touching the Heavy Sword in his hand, Duo Rentu grew increasingly covetous of the advanced meditation technique Lu Hong spoke of.
At that moment, Duo Sandao’s sword edge turned, pointing at Lu Hong as he spoke: "Hand over the more advanced Meditation Technique you mentioned. I can spare your life. After today, your Photon City will be protected by the Duo Family, enduring forever."
Hearing Duo Rentu’s offer, Lu Hong laughed: "Haven’t you realized something? Or rather, haven’t the Martial Kings of the Western Battle Zone realized something?"
At these words, Duo Rentu slightly furrowed his brow: "What?"
"Do you think my Photon City is weak?"
To this, Duo Rentu sneered: "Photon City has always been just a small town under the Ao Family’s command. If the Ao Family Main Lineage were stationed in Photon City, it might have earned my respect, but even the Ao Family just casually assigned a branch to manage it. You think this Photon City is impressive to anyone’s eye?"
"Really? Then today, I think you should be able to reevaluate the strength of Photon City." With that, Lu Hong raised his hand, and the Heavy Sword in Duo Rentu’s hand instantly vanished, transforming back into pure Spiritual Power, redrawing to Lu Hong’s hand, then re-condensing into a sword.
"Oh, by the way, actually, Spiritual Cultivation isn’t solely about strengthening Spiritual Power, but also includes techniques to release Spiritual Power. I think you might have learned some of these techniques from the Qin Long Guards, right?"
"So what?" Although Duo Rentu obtained the First Transformation warrior skill cultivation method, he didn’t grasp much of its mystery. Skills are fundamentally about the operation and practical release of spiritual power within one’s body; these cannot be comprehensively conveyed through mere strokes in writing. Therefore, the inheritance and mastery of professional skills are the most challenging aspects of each profession, and the proficiency in professional skills greatly affects their intensity.
To Duo Rentu’s understanding, mastering these skills, the power released seemed not much different from the enhancement in capabilities provided by martial arts skills, so he paid little attention to them, focusing entirely on cultivating Spiritual Power, directly neglecting skill mastery.
"So, didn’t you discover the prowess of skills?"
"Really? Then can you demonstrate it to me, old man?"
Facing Duo Rentu’s request, Lu Hong laughed: "Certainly, but I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to learn from it."
"Whether there’s a chance or not isn’t for you to decide."
"Then let’s try it!"
"Alright, kid, directly show your strongest skill, let me experience the real power of Spiritual Power skills!"
Upon hearing Duo Rentu’s request, Lu Hong raised an eyebrow with amusement but didn’t refuse: "Then you better watch closely."
With that, Lu Hong’s stance slightly lowered, beginning to gather momentum: "The strongest skill I currently possess is called Extreme Eternal." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Extreme Eternal, huh? Nice name, let me see it quickly, old man!" Duo Rentu’s interest was piqued too, while he mobilized his own vital energy and Spiritual Power, ready to defend at any moment, all the while intently watching Lu Hong’s actions, as if trying to uncover the secrets behind skill release.
As time ticked by, Duo Rentu began to feel something amiss.
Because, the formerly vast surrounding Spiritual Energy had transformed into milky-white tornadoes, continually converging towards Lu Hong.
Layer upon layer of pressure, like breathing, gradually spread out. This invisible pressure seemed heavy as a thousand pounds; each surge caused the ground to crack and the space to tremble.
"You... this..." Duo Rentu retreated repeatedly; could this imposing force merely be the buildup for skill release?
What kind of destruction will it cause once unleashed?
This skill seemed impossible for him to defend against!
The thought suddenly exploded in Duo Rentu’s mind: "You... you better stop! Stop now!"
Duo Rentu repeatedly shouted, but Lu Hong paid him no heed, making Duo Rentu panic, turning tail and running!
"Duo Rentu, why are you running? Didn’t you want to test the power of my skill?!"
As Lu Hong’s voice fell, the Eternal Sword slashed out. This sword wielded only nature’s spiritual energy, without Lu Hong’s own spiritual power infused. If released with full force, the Western Battle Zone would likely be torn in two, not only damaging the environment but space itself might get severed too.
Feeling the suffocating, terrifying wave behind him, Duo Rentu turned his head in horror.
That exceedingly bright sword light seemed to freeze everything, sweeping past his eyes.
The sword light swept across, spanning hundreds of miles. The Sword Qi sliced into Yan’an City, splitting the enormous city in two. Countless people in Yan’an City hadn’t yet realized what happened and were instantly sent flying into the heavens.
As for Duo Rentu, the moment after the sword light swept past, he had already evaporated in place; his physical body wasn’t enough to withstand the power of such an attack and leave any trace.
Duo Rentu, the Uncrowned King of the Western Battle Zone, died just like that under Lu Hong’s sword.
There was no other way; it wasn’t that Duo Rentu wasn’t powerful enough, but Lu Hong’s Spirit Cultivation System was far too mature and formidable. Martial Arts development currently amounts to merely elementary school level, directly bullying when you use university level against elementary level.
Currently, if anyone within Martial Arts Realm hopes to confront Lu Hong, likely only a Martial God beyond Martial Emperor can manage that. Unfortunately, the Dark Continent has not yet developed the Martial God Realm.
