Chapter 1236: Chapter 847: The Arrow of Parting Across Time (5K)_2

Thus, he agreed to the plan and, with the assistance of the gods, successfully ascended the throne, blessed by the millions of believers in this world.

He was known as the King of Humanity!

But there was a flaw in this plan.

It was the hero Lanxiu, that slave of human origin whose talent was incomparably terrifying, who reached the throne of a demigod in less than three hundred years.

His combat strength was extremely fearsome, and when he drew his bowstring, even the gods felt uneasy.

But the King of Humanity was overjoyed because Lanxiu held great respect for him, and he admired Lanxiu in return.

He believed he had the ability to persuade Lanxiu to become one of the gods alongside him.

With Lanxiu’s top-tier combat strength, his voice would carry even more weight.

However, all plans fell apart that night.

The former human king reminisced about that night.

The demigod Lanxiu roared in anger, accusing him of betraying Lanxiu, betraying humanity?

Ridiculous, humanity had risen and grown strong because of him. He was merely taking back what belonged to him, where was the betrayal in that?

Nevertheless, Lanxiu stood before the former king with a black bow, and with a single arrow, severely damaged the old king’s throne.

Causing the human old king to flee in panic.

Even if the gods used all their means to kill Lanxiu, for hundreds of years the old king dared not make any move, nor did he dare to leave the Hundred Generals City.

Fearing that the half-dead Lanxiu would forcibly shoot an arrow that would kill him.

Until now, that damned Lanxiu had finally died. Not even a speck of dust was left of him!

It was time for him to retake control over humanity, to repair his shattered throne. All he had to do was to deal with the last trouble... awakening Lanxiu’s [Player] Li Ba!

"But... killing Li Ba would interfere with the Evolution Game, and I bet I’d die instantly from the consequences," the old king replied.

"I know what you’re afraid of; we’ll help you share the burden!" the Dragon God transmitted, "Kill Li Ba, don’t let any mistakes happen in the cycle again!"

"You must be quick! The foreign human demigods will inevitably come to the rescue. We can block them for a short while, but not for long. You must end the fight as quickly as possible!" the Giant God transmitted.

Feeling his strength being subsidized, the old king’s eyes twinkled with golden light.

"Good, this time, Lanxiu’s last hope will be shattered!"

In the contestants’ rest area, the Champion Marquis felt a deep regret; this was surely Chaos’s conspiracy, but he truly had no position to stop anything.

After all, both had fought following their own beliefs.

All he could do was sigh at the death of the Bloodriders and the near-impossible ascension of Li Ba to divinity. Li Ba had dispersed his strength and Authority to defeat the Bloodriders. Remembering those three terrifying Demigod States, the Champion Marquis felt a profound regret. If only there had been a true Demigod State, possessing three kinds of strength at once. The terrible long-range attack and that demon body impervious to anything but Divine Sin, as well as that Divinity that could intimidate the void. How strong could that be?

Probably Li Ba, just upon his initial rise as a demigod, would have been able to defeat most demigods. What a pity, such a pity indeed.

Meanwhile, Yang Dong watched the figure on the platform and said to his friends, "Enough, stop pushing yourself. Just leave the Task. You’re seriously injured! We can take care of what comes next."

He saw Li Changhe’s injuries and realized his condition was very poor.

Indeed, though he’d succeeded in killing the Bloodriders, Li Changhe had paid a heavy price.

The Crimson Divinity inside him had been erased by Old Lead, but the inflicted injuries were not easily healed.

Even after ingesting the All-purpose medicine, there was no sign of improvement in his injuries. The parts corrupted by Divinity seemed to still be hindering the healing Effect. The malicious Divinity was even more troublesome than imagined.

If not for the Effect of the Mountain Pattern Armor, Li Changhe would have been unable to stand, let alone fight any further.

Moreover, after using the Mythical State, his Divinity was forcibly reset for a period. He was truly out of strength.

He needed to receive treatment as soon as possible, or rather, he had to give up continuing the competition.

That wasn’t really an issue; after killing the Bloodriders, he’d already advanced to the top eight, and the girls were now safe as well. It would be alright for Li Changhe to leave the Task.

However, before that, Li Changhe looked up at the figure in midair. That was the referee for this Hundred Generals Trial Sword Tournament.

The fight between Li Changhe and the Bloodriders had been so terrifying that the referee didn’t stay in the arena, instead, he turned to a contestant’s rest room, avoiding the risk.

At this moment, he hovered in midair, his golden pupils peering out from the Black Fog of his hood.

He spoke coldly, announcing, "The winner, Dong-07, Uncle Eight-direction, advances... to the top eight!"

But with his words, a dreadful aura descended in an instant.

Under the shocked gazes of almost all the players and demigods, the referee, in a flash, became an almost imperceptible black shadow, shooting towards Li Changhe like an arrow released from the string.

At the same time, behind him the golden Divine Rings coalesced. A terrifying aura filled the arena as a golden sword appeared in his hand, stabbing straight at Li Ba.

"Demigod!" a player roared in rage, "Li Ba, get out!"

"Damn it!" several human demigods immediately stood up, their formidable Divinity converging.

With the Bloodriders dead, Li Changhe had become the strongest of the new demigods.

Although it was by now difficult for him to become a demigod, he was ultimately a high-end human combat strength. The human demigods could not let him die like this.

If these bastards dared to interfere with the Evolution Game, to forcibly lay their hands on Li Ba, then they hadn’t held back either. They took action directly, intent on killing that damned referee.
