230: Chapter 230 Divine Favor Shocks the Enemy, Lu Chen Returns!

Over Jin City.

Skills surged, roaring incessantly.

The final defensive light barrier shattered, like the straw that broke the camel's back, casting a shadow of despair over the hearts of those holding their ground.

"Kill!"

Kyle's cold voice echoed over the battlefield like a funeral bell.

The Beautiful Country coalition and countless Invading Monsters surged like a broken levee, launching their final assault towards the center of Jin City.

"Children of Great Xia, what is there to fear in battle! Follow me, kill—!"

Lu Sen's hair and beard stood on end. There was no fear in his eyes, only determination.

He took a step forward, Sword Qi surging around him, the might of his SS-grade Epic class [Sword Warrior] unleashed without reservation.

"Talent Activation—Sword Soul Awakening!"

Hum!

A clear sword hum resonated through the heavens. Lu Sen's body instantly became illusory, entering the 10-second "Sword Soul" state! His attack range skyrocketed by 200%, and wherever his sword light reached, it was like a galaxy falling!

"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"

He roared, and in the Void Realm behind him, tens of thousands of brilliant sword shadows emerged from thin air, emitting peerless Sword Qi.

"Fall!"

As he swung his arm, the myriad swords were released simultaneously, transforming into a destructive storm of sword rain, covering the densest area of the charging enemy forces!

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft—!

The sword rain poured down, flesh and blood flying!

Whether it was the hideous Invading Monsters or the well-equipped elites of The Beautiful Country, they fell in droves under this indiscriminate piercing strike, instantly clearing an entire area!

"What?"

High in the air, Kyle, who had been watching the battle leisurely, narrowed his eyes, his wine glass pausing slightly: "Such might... Is this a Divine Favor Talent? Lu Chen's father is actually a Divine Favor Talent user?"

"Hmph! A desperate struggle!"

President Lin Tianxiao's face was grim, but a flash of fear crossed his eyes.

Meanwhile,

Chen Rou raised her staff, and holy radiance spread from her like a tide.

"Holy Origin · Holy Light Infusion! Twin Prayers!"

She instantly applied [Life Link] to Lu Tie, Dong Tian, Elder Yuan, and others who were bearing the pressure on the front line.

At the same time, she triggered the tactical skill of her Divine Favor Talent—

"Reversal Holy Pact!"

A strange halo expanded from her center. Within its range, all green light attempting to heal Invading Monsters or hostile units was instantly converted into scorching Holy Light damage, burning those Invading Monsters until they shrieked incessantly!

"Pain Compensation!"

She groaned, her face turning pale as she actively took on a portion of the continuous damage suffered by Lu Tie, then converted 60% of this damage into warm healing radiance, showering it upon the struggling companions around her.

"Another Divine Favor Talent user? And a healer at that!"

Adam, the president of the Eden Guild, exclaimed, his expression finally changing.

Lu Chen's parents were both one-in-a-million Divine Favor Talent users! How could this be possible!

"Roar! And don't forget old Lao Tie!"

Lu Tie stood at the very front like a war god, his B-grade Heavy Armored Warrior physique appearing incredibly towering at this moment.

"Berserk God Battle Body!"

He stood with muscles bulging, his skin taking on a bronze luster as if he had donned a suit of bronze armor. As his giant axe swung, it carried a roar that tore through the air, forcefully hacking away an eighth-tier Invading Monster attempting to break through the defensive line!

"Get lost!"

He roared, triggering War Stomp. The ground cracked, and the shockwave sent surrounding enemies reeling.

However, there were too many enemies, and they were too strong.

There were over 30 ninth-tier enemies alone; almost all the ninth-tier big shots of the Western nations had come.

Not to mention the vast number of eighth-tier powerhouses.

The tens of millions of beast pets Lu Chen had left behind had seen their numbers plummet to under a million after the prolonged war of attrition. They still loyally used their bodies to build a defensive line, but they were falling faster and faster.

Just then,

even greater despair descended!

Rumble!

A ten-thousand-foot giant wave suddenly exploded on the distant sea, and a terrifying aura, not inferior to the Sky Overlord Veraphil, swept over!

A shadow of unimaginably massive proportions broke through the sea surface and slowly rose.

It was shaped like a giant turtle, but its body was covered in pitch-black bone armor, and dark red magma flowed through the gaps in the armor. Its head was dragon-like yet not quite a dragon, and its eyes were like two burning abyssal vortexes!

The West Sea Overlord—Abyssal Demonized Giant Turtle King!

It had finally made its personal appearance!

"Roar!"

A roar, like thousands of thunders exploding simultaneously, shook the entire Jin City.

The terrifying sound waves, mixed with the aura of the Abyss, caused many low-tier class changers to vomit blood and collapse.

The burning pupils of the West Sea Overlord instantly locked onto Lu Sen and Chen Rou, who had the strongest aura in the crowd, filled with malice.

"Lu Chen!!! Damn you, Lu Chen!!!"

It let out a heaven-shaking roar, the sound waves turning into a tangible impact, sending the blocking beast pets and class changers flying one after another.

"This time, I will make you suffer in agony!!!"

Its massive body moved, each step causing the earth to shake. Ignoring those tickle-like attacks, it bore down directly towards the direction of Lu Sen and Chen Rou!

The shadow of death, like a cold giant hand, gripped everyone's throat.

Lu Sen and Chen Rou looked at each other, seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

Even if they died, they would break a few teeth off this monster!

Dong Tian, Yuan Feng, and other big shots of the Hunter Organization, seeing that the West Sea Overlord had also joined the enemy camp, all had bitter expressions. They had been routed in this battle; there was no way to fight anymore.

But even so.

They would fight back with all their might.

Just because.

They believed.

That as long as Lu Chen returned, everything would be calm again!

Yu Linglong's pretty face was deathly pale, her hand holding the longbow trembling slightly.

She looked at the companions falling around her, at Aunt Rou and Uncle Sen struggling to hold on, at the boundless tide of enemies, and a deep sense of powerlessness and despair welled up in her heart.

Clearly...

Clearly Brother Chen had already integrated the four borders, and Great Xia had just seen the dawn of revival...

Clearly everything was developing in a good direction...

Why?

Why did she have to experience this pain of losing important people again?

The images of her father and mother flashed through her mind, overlapping with the figures of Lu Sen and Chen Rou fighting in blood before her.

She was unwilling!

She was truly so unwilling!

Crystal tears mixed with blood and sweat slid from the corners of her eyes.

Yu Linglong suddenly raised her head, using all her strength, gathering all her unwillingness, grievances, expectations, and despair, and shouted towards the direction of the Eastern Territory with a heart-rending cry:

"Brother Chen!"

"Come back quickly!!!"

The voice was shrill, piercing through the clamor of the battlefield, echoing over the shattered Jin City, heartbreaking to all who heard it.

"Heh, heh, heh... Scream, scream to your heart's content! Even if you scream until your throat breaks, that little bastard won't be coming back!"

President Lin Tianxiao let out a gleeful and malicious laugh.

Hum!

In the center of Jin City, the teleportation array that had not been completely destroyed suddenly erupted with brilliant light without warning!

The light was so intense, so dazzling, that it instantly dispersed the gloom and despair on the battlefield, like a sun rising over the land of Jin City!

A massive, murderous aura swept across the battlefield.

Time,

seemed to freeze at this moment.

The giant claw of the West Sea Overlord froze in mid-air.

Kyle stood up abruptly from the Throne of Light, his pale golden pupils shrinking to pinpricks for the first time.

The mockery on Adam's face and the malice on President Lin Tianxiao's face instantly froze, turning into unbelievable horror.

Everyone and every Invading Monster fighting stopped involuntarily, looking in shock towards the source of the pillar of light.

The light slowly dissipated.

A slender and straight figure slowly stepped out from the teleportation array.

He was dressed in black clothes as ink, his black hair dancing, his expression cold and stern, his eyes deep, containing endless killing intent.

Just by standing there, it was as if he suppressed the entire time and space.

Lu Chen slowly raised his head, the Eye of the Ringed Heavens scanning the devastated battlefield, looking at his severely injured parents, at Sister Linglong with tear-stained cheeks, at Elder Dong and others who were fighting to the death to protect them.

Finally...

Lu Chen's gaze fell on the West Sea Overlord frozen in mid-air, and on the clamoring Western powerhouses.

His eyes were still calm.

But that bone-chilling killing intent, suppressed to the extreme and resembling an Asura, swept out silently like the stillness before a storm.

Lu Chen, has returned!

The slaughter, is about to begin!
