From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 77 - 76: Decisive Battle, Holy Artifact, Ancestor’s Mallet_2

Su Muyu didn't even spare a glance and turned around to continue shooting at the demons.

...

Elsewhere, on the second-floor platform of the great hall,

Lu Heng and Lei Jinhao had battled for two minutes, both locked in a struggle that was difficult to resolve, with no clear victor.

Under normal circumstances, Superpower Users at level 18 or 19 should have an average Attribute around 36 points.

With Lei Jinhao in a Frenzied state, all his Attributes surged past 45 points, exceeding even those of a Commander Level Demon, and coupled with the Fighter Class Fighting Spirit, his Combat Power was terrifyingly strong.

Any other Superpower User facing Lei Jinhao would not last a single round.

Lu Heng, having the Talent "Agile as a Dragon," reached an Agility of 48 points, even when the average Attributes of Superpower Users at their level were only 36 or 37.

At a disadvantage in Strength, he relied on his superior Agility and speed, as well as his In-depth Level body movement technique and swordsmanship, to steadfastly suppress Lei Jinhao.

The more Lei Jinhao fought, the more dismayed he became; he had thought that in his Frenzied state, crushing Lu Heng would be as easy as crushing a chicken.

Only when he clashed head-on did he realize just how strong Lu Heng truly was.

This left him feeling extremely bitter; in his quest for an energy infusion from the Evil God, he had willingly undertaken the Traitor Task.

Believing that after receiving the energy infusion, he would stand unrivaled among Superpower Users, he found himself still being overpowered by Lu Heng, even in his Frenzy.

He couldn't understand why, having clawed his way up from humble beginnings for the sake of power, by any means necessary.

Yet in the end, he still couldn't overcome the man in front of him.

In that instant, all his efforts seemed to lose their value.

The time for Frenzy was running out; he knew it was all over.

A wave of exhaustion swept through his body; his offensive slowed, and despair filled his mind.

Seeing that Lei Jinhao's attacks were slowing, Lu Heng guessed he must have given up; once the Frenzy ended, any random strike would finish him.

At the same time,

the Resurrection Ceremony in the Temple's great hall was nearing its conclusion, and Evil God Barton was about to return to the Abyss.

When that happened, the world would be completely doomed to Hell, whether for Humans or the Bansel people.

At the very center of the Resurrection Ceremony, the Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander was conducting the last step, beginning to pick a body for Evil God Barton.

The Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander called a devout Fiery Flame Horned Demon to kneel before the heart of Evil God Barton, preparing to receive this gift.

Seeing this, Lu Heng immediately distanced himself from Lei Jinhao, dashed to the altar with a step, and swung his sword, cutting down the Horned Demon meant to house the Evil God's heart.

Enraged, the Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander lifted its Fiery Flame Claws towards Lu Heng's head.

With a push from his right foot, Lu Heng's Micro-level Body Technique kicked in; he retreated to the left, ducking to evade the claw attack, and thrust his sword towards the Evil God's heart.

As the sharp blade was about to touch the heart, it was suddenly immobilized by a mysterious force, unable to penetrate even slightly.

The power held by the Evil God's Heart was stronger than expected.

Then, a wave of intense Spiritual Pollution surged forth, infiltrating his brain; in an instant, Lu Heng felt his spiritual power rapidly depleting, his head buzzing.

Being too close to the Evil God's heart, he couldn't withstand the Spiritual Pollution.

Lu Heng immediately retreated to avoid the Spiritual Pollution.

The Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander roared in anger but had to continue the Resurrection Ceremony and could not chase after Lu Heng. He could only order his subordinate Horned Demons to rush forward and attack.

Meanwhile, the Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander picked the second body to house the Evil God's heart and proceeded with the last step of the Ceremony.

Lu Heng cut down a dozen or so Fiery Flame Horned Demons, gathered his focus, preparing to move forward again and stop the Ceremony.

Just then,

Lei Jinhao flashed in front of him, his eyes emitting a strange red light, with a black energy connecting behind him.

"I don't believe you can beat me this time!" Lei Jinhao's face was filled with ferocity and savagery.

Indeed, he had felt despair just moments ago as his Frenzy neared its end.

However, when Lu Heng killed the Horned Demon meant to house the heart, the energy infusion bestowed by the Evil God descended again, dramatically extending his Frenzy and granting him an even more powerful strength boost.

Lu Heng saw the strange red light in his eyes and guessed what was happening.

It was already challenging to determine a victor in the fight with Lei Jinhao in a Frenzy, and with him receiving another energy infusion, it would be even more difficult to get past him to stop the Resurrection Ceremony.

"Another fucking energy infusion, is there nothing else you know besides accepting the Evil God's power?" Lu Heng cursed loudly, not wanting to entangle with his opponent, he quickly scanned his surroundings, thinking of ways to stop the ritual.

"You just have to win! I don't care about the rest!" Lei Jinhao's face showed a smile that was almost manic.

His prolonged Frenzy state, although powered by the Evil God's energy, was actually depleting his own Life Force.

Once the energy infusion ended, he too would die from an excessive depletion of Life Force, his flesh and blood would break apart.

But before that, he was an unfeeling, fearless killing machine.

Lu Heng charged left and right, trying to bypass Lei Jinhao to find an opportunity to sabotage the ritual.

However, Lei Jinhao always stood guard in front of the ritual formation, not moving an inch.

The will of the Evil God had already taken over his brain, he had lost the ability to think, and was instinctively guarding the ritual formation.

Moreover, in his Frenzied state with energy infusion, without pain or fear, he was like a fierce beast that knew no fear of death.

If things went on like this, once the Resurrection Ceremony was completed, they would be utterly defeated in this battle.

As Lu Heng was contemplating his strategy, the great doors of the Temple burst open with a crash.

Iron Arm, leading the Bansel Clan warriors, had broken through the doors and charged in.

Lu Heng immediately shouted to Iron Arm, "Quick! The ritual is almost done!"

Iron Arm roared violently, swinging his Warhammer and rushing toward the altar, smashing it down on the Blood Feast Holy Grail.

The Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander roared as it met him head-on, and they clashed fiercely, the resounding booms of their impacts making it difficult to tell them apart for a while.

This created a two-on-two standoff in front of the altar.

Lu Heng and Iron Arm joined forces but still found it hard to break through the blockage of Lei Jinhao and the Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander.

The situation became deadlocked once again.

At that moment, Mia smashed a Horned Demon and rushed into the altar area, swinging her Warhammer down on the Blood Feast Holy Grail at the center of the altar.

Boom!

The Warhammer collided with the Holy Grail, making a sonorous clash, and the blood inside splashed out, but the ritual was still not over.

The Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander bellowed loudly, summoning the Horned Demon troops to come back and defend, and a melee erupted around the altar.

Mia turned back, hammering away a Horned Demon, and then swung her Warhammer toward the black Evil God's Heart, but as she raised her Warhammer to strike, a psychic shock came rushing in.

Her body shuddered, her head splitting with pain as her Warhammer dropped helplessly, and with her hands clutched at her forehead, she groaned in pain.

"Mia! Come back! You can't withstand Barton's Spiritual Pollution," Iron Arm shouted urgently.

Mia hurriedly dragged her Warhammer out of the range of the altar, then shouted loudly and joined her father in attacking the Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander.

Under their assault, the Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander was forced to retreat step by step.

Iron Arm raised his Warhammer and brought down a thunderous blow, inflicting a severe injury on the Fiery Flame Horned Demon Commander, sending it flying, then turned to look in the direction of the altar.

At the center of the altar, a chosen Horned Demon split its own chest open, lifted the black heart up, and placed it inside its chest.

The Resurrection Ceremony was about to be completed.

Seeing this, Mia shouted, "Father, I'll hold off the Demon, you go stop the ritual!"

Iron Arm couldn't care less; he charged toward the center of the altar, simultaneously shouting, "Where's the Holy Artifact? Quick, give it to me!"

Lu Heng immediately pulled out the Bansel Clan Ancestor's Mallet and threw it to Iron Arm.

Iron Arm caught the Bansel Clan Ancestor's Mallet, pounced in front of the Evil God's Heart, and thrust the mallet into it.

The Ancestor's Mallet pierced the surface of the heart, but could not penetrate deeply.

Iron Arm swung his Warhammer and slammed it heavily onto the Ancestor's Mallet.

Clang!

The Ancestor's Mallet pierced the Evil God's Heart, embedding half an inch inside.

Iron Arm raised his Warhammer again, and this time a violent storm of Spiritual Pollution flooded his mind.

It was as if he could hear countless Evil Spirits and Demons howling and roaring.

"Brave Bansel Clan warrior, never surrender!" Iron Arm roared with all his might, warding off the psychic contamination in his mind, and once again swung his Warhammer down hard.

Boom!
