From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

The arrow towers on the city walls stood tall, continuously unleashing a rain of arrows that felled swaths of Bloodline Demons with each volley.

To stop the Bloodline Demons from further attacking the breach in the city walls, Lu Heng charged out of the city, unleashing Dragon Breath Slash and killing hundreds of Bloodline Demons.

Kill notifications began to flood the screen, and amidst the torrent of energy drawing him, a tide of energy surged within him, beginning to challenge the limits of his Energy Level.

As Dragon Breath Slash came, Lu Heng charged the Wind God Power in tandem, and once charged, he unleashed a cut.

Wind Dragon Absolute Breath Slash!

Clang!

In an instant, the fierce wind howled as the Wind Dragon re-emerged.

To the north of Kolos City, Terres's Wind Dragon roared, and to the west was Lu Heng's Wind Dragon in fury.

The Wind Dragon plunged into the midst of the Bloodline Demons, the Tornado Blade tearing those of lower Ranks into horrific bloodied flesh.

The Bloodline Demons who withstood the Tornado Blade were then swept up into the skies by the Wind Dragon Roll.

The Wind Dragon wreaked havoc, countless Bloodline Demons were whisked into the air, desperately unleashing Defense Skills to ward off the cutting wind blades.

Just then,

a sword light streaked from the northwest, crossing the sky, bisecting the Bloodline Demons in mid-air into two halves.

Seeing this sword strike, Lu Heng's brow twitched; he recognized this as Terres's second Sword Saint's Ultimate Skill "Flying Dragon Hunting Sky."

His first reaction was to think Terres had resolved the crisis in the north and had come to aid.

Upon closer inspection, however, it wasn't Terres, but a breathtakingly beautiful Elf, who turned out to be none other than Queen Orelana.

Queen Orelana had finally returned from the Moon God Lake, arriving outside Kolos City just in time to witness the grand battle.

After the Wind Dragon Absolute Breath Slash, seeing the multitude of Bloodline Demons caught in the air, she immediately followed up with the second Sword Saint's Ultimate Skill "Flying Dragon Hunting Sky," wiping out all the Bloodline Demons in the sky.

"The Queen has returned! The Queen has returned!"

Seeing Queen Orelana's return, the morale of the Elf Clan soared, their attacks becoming fiercer.

With Queen Orelana joining the battle, whether it was the powerful swordsmanship or the offensive and defensive Arcane magic, both were more than enough to control the battlefield.

With Lu Heng's cooperation and the solid city walls, the Elf Clan was able to steady the battle situation.

If the standoff continued in this vein, the Bloodline Demons would inevitably collapse.

In the midst of fierce combat, the tide of energy within Lu Heng never ceased.

Vast amounts of energy gathered, challenging the Energy Level boundary once more.

Just as the battle seemed to be tilting towards a victory for the Elf Clan,

a blood-red light suddenly shot up from the heart of Kolos City.

It instantly captured everyone's attention.

"What is that?"

Lu Heng turned to look and saw that the soaring blood-red light emanated from the palace district.

The blood-colored column of light grew thicker and thicker, and even from a distance, its immense width of surely over ten meters was palpable.

A ten-meter wide column of light, brimming with a Demonic presence.

Even without knowing what the blood-colored column was, just from the terrible aura alone, it was clear that something major was about to happen.

Queen Orelana's expression turned grave, and without time to speak with the city's guard, she immediately led the Elves towards the palace district.

Her expression was one of urgency.

Others only knew that the blood-colored column had appeared over the palace district, but she knew that the location was the Space Corridor within the palace district, the position of the Teleportation Gate to the Moon Well.

As the blood-colored pillar of light appeared, a powerful energy burst forth from within, breaking through Kolos City's magic barrier.

With a loud "boom," the magic barrier shattered.

High-rank Bloodline Demons in the sky swooped down, charging into Kolos City, and clashed fiercely with the Elf Guards within.

The situation that had just stabilized was once again thrown into turmoil.

Su Muyu's Chongming Bird had already observed the situation in the palace district and reported through the communication channel, "It's a door, like the Gate of Hell."

In fact, when Lu Heng saw the blood-colored pillar of light, he had already guessed what was happening.

This blood-colored pillar of light was a typical manifestation of high-density energy of the Bloodline Clan, capable of forming such a powerful energy column, there were basically only a few scenarios.

And now, the greatest threat to Kolos City was the Bloodline Clan's Gate of Hell.

The Gate of Hell of the Bloodline Clan, simply put, was a teleportation gate.

Bloodline Demons could use the teleportation gate to enter the palace district of Kolos City.

Moreover, the higher the energy level of the Gate of Hell, the higher the level of Bloodline Demons that could pass through.

That is to say, whatever rank of demon the Bloodline Clan wanted to teleport over, they would open a gate of that level.

Such a massive blood-colored pillar of light implied that the Bloodline Demons being teleported could very well be of Demon King rank.

Sure enough.

Within the blood-colored pillar of light, a shadowy figure of a Demon King more than ten meters tall began to slowly emerge.

Seeing this Demon King apparition, Lu Heng had a question arise in his heart.

Kolos City was heavily guarded, and the palace district was even more heavily protected.

Why would a Gate of Hell appear in the palace district?

Who opened it?

The direction Black Field and a few others had headed towards was indeed the palace district, but they were already dead.

Could there be other Traitors?

Now that the Gate of Hell had appeared and the Bloodline King was about to descend, there was no time left to contemplate these questions.

Queen Orelana, leading Fiona and her Queen's Guard, charged into the palace district, launching the most ferocious attacks towards the blood-colored pillar to stop the teleportation.

Just at this moment.

The Bloodline King within the blood-colored pillar let out a roar to the heavens, swinging its huge claws and with a "bang," a blood-colored shockwave was unleashed.

The shockwave swept across like an energy tsunami, grinding everything in its path into dust.

The palaces around the Space Corridor collapsed one by one, turning into debris that shot outward.

Queen Orelana released Arcane Energy to counter the blood-colored shockwave.

The collision of the two energies caused ripples to spread out in all directions.

In an instant, the energy surged, the earth trembled, and space distorted.

The Bloodline King was too powerful, its blood-colored shockwave overwhelming everything in its path, swallowing Queen Orelana in a flash of bloodlight and sending her flying.

Terres returned from the north of the city, unleashing a Wind Dragon Breathless Slash with his sword.

The Bloodline King raised its claws, summoning a scarlet energy tsunami to contend with the Wind Dragon.

The two fought evenly matched, neither side able to claim victory for a time.

The Bloodline King protected the Gate of Hell behind it and continued to allow more high-rank Bloodline Demons to come through the teleportation gate.

After four Great Demons of the Bloodline Clan came through, they began to cast spells around the central position of the Space Corridor.

That position was where the Moon Well Space Gate was located.

Once the Space Gate into the Moon Well was opened and occupied by Bloodline Demons, it meant that the Quel'dorei World was headed towards its end.
