Chapter 238 - Volume 1 Finale - The Queen’s Warrior (Part 1)

Chapter 238: Chapter 222 Volume 1 Finale - The Queen’s Warrior (Part 1)"Lu Hong, be careful. Although Kefati is weak, it is still too much for your current level!" Ancestor Dragon kept reminding in Lu Hong’s heart.

Lu Hong didn’t say much; the Steel Holy Sword fell into his hand, and the Steel Fortress Skill was activated!

As the strongest defensive skill of the warrior, the defensive capability of the Steel Fortress should not be underestimated.

However, compared to the steel sword, the national treasure of the Snow Clan was still a bit stronger. Under the touch of Kefati’s bone staff, the extremely defensive fortress shattered instantly.

The Steel Holy Sword emitted a mournful cry, quickly fading away.

Lu Hong withdrew the holy sword and roughly understood its power. Then he took a deep breath; it was time to see the limits of "Heavenly God Descending".

Lu Hong gathered all the qi and blood in his body and swung out a fierce punch, smashing hard on the falling bone staff.

An invisible ripple spread out, and the entire northern region seemed to have experienced a massive earthquake.

The supreme elder of the Xia family was sitting on a recliner, which was flipped over and tumbled to the ground.

"What happened?" the supreme elder asked in panic.

En Jing hurriedly helped the old man up: "It seems a major incident has occurred in the north; I will immediately send someone to investigate."

"Immediately, right now!" The supreme elder scolded En Jing and then turned his gaze to the queen’s scepter quietly placed beside him.

Konstantin had called her when she was next to the scepter. She also knew what Konstantin wanted from her, but why should a dead person come back to life? The supreme elder had never felt she had done anything wrong in her life; planning to kill Lu Hong was also to prevent the Puro family from infiltrating the Xia inner sanctum. She was not wrong, this person deserved to die; no one could stop it!

"Phew!" Bu Sheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the figure of Kefati paused, and his form slightly retreated.

Meanwhile, Lu Hong was smashed into the ground; with that one strike, the plains before Hanguguan Pass had become a shattered glacier.

"Again!" Lu Hong burst out from the ground; one strike from Kefati had not brought him down, but he had sustained some minor injuries.

Now, Lu Hong’s understanding of "Heavenly God Descending" had elevated to another level—unrivaled defense and combat power, truly worthy of the name of the first divine skill of the warriors.

"You’re still alive?!" Bu Sheng’s eyes widened, his face full of panic. Summoning the ancestral spirits to execute the first slash had already caused him a significant loss of life force. If he executed a second strike, he feared he would die years earlier than Emperor Wuyan.

What should he do? Bu Sheng was incredibly anxious. Should he admit defeat? If he admitted defeat, the Snow Clan would indeed be ashamed for thousands of years, and he would undoubtedly become the criminal of the Snow Clan. But if he didn’t admit defeat, even if the second slash killed Baron Yitian, his own life would near its end. He hadn’t even married yet; having finally seized the imperial throne, he couldn’t just hand it over to someone else. How could he be at peace?

At the moment Bu Sheng hesitated, the voice of the Supreme Poison Master resonated in his heart: "Your Majesty, if you execute the second slash, all the supremes of the Holy Cave will do everything to extend your life, ensuring that your future offspring will smoothly inherit the imperial throne."

Hearing the promise from the Poison Master, Bu Sheng gritted his teeth.

"Slash!"

Kefati’s figure became more solid; the second staff smashed down hard toward Lu Hong.

Facing the incoming second slash, the entire north suffered the oppression of divine beings. The queen’s scepter beside the supreme elder emitted a faint red glow involuntarily, as if calling its master to act and protect the empire.

"How dare he?!" Konstantin watched the abruptly stopped scene, his face showing astonishment. With the second slash down, Bu Sheng would surely die within ten years.

"My lord, can Baron Yitian withstand it?" Nightingale stood behind Caesar, her face full of concern.

"I don’t know," Caesar whispered, "but if he withstands this strike, you all will immediately enter the northern battlefield at all costs to rescue Tuku!"

"Understood!" Without needing further instructions from Caesar, Nightingale had already prepared everything, just waiting for Caesar’s command.

With each execution, the Seven Extremes Slash grew more powerful; Lu Hong knew this strike might be his limit.

Lu Hong took a deep breath and once again gathered all his strength, swinging his fist to meet it.

This collision emitted no sound, but at the intersection of the two forces, a small black hole appeared, wildly devouring everything around it.

That was the law of the ancient covenant, protecting the continent from too much destruction.

The power of the Seven Extremes Slash and Lu Hong’s full-strength strike were all swallowed by the covenant, cutting off the power of both parties who then experienced a backlash, each spitting out a large amount of blood and falling to the ground.

As the ancient covenant was triggered, everyone watching the northern battlefield became completely disordered; was this too fake? On the Continent of God’s Grace, except for a few occasions when top powerhouses triggered the covenant protection during their battles, could such a scene also appear in this low-level Second Transition combat?

The power of Bu Sheng’s skill could be understood, as behind him stood an army of a million and national treasures.

What about Baron Yitian? By what right? By what right, with only a Second Transition level and not even peaking, did he manage to trigger the restriction of the covenant?

"It must be the covenant that protected Lord Baron," Lilly could only explain to the generals this way: "The power of Bu Sheng’s skill exceeded the limit, causing the covenant to descend and absorb its power."

"Oh!" The generals nodded, saying it must be so, relying on the late-Second Transition to trigger the upper limit of the covenant, such prowess, definitely not human!

"Ptui!" Bu Sheng spat: "You really escaped calamity." Bu Sheng and Lilly had the same thought: had it not been for the covenant’s arrival, Lu Hong would have likely vanished in ashes under the second slash.
