• After fighting for hours and earning only ten thousand experience points, Lu Chen returned to camp exhausted, prompting the Chieftain’s Sons and Cloud Prefecture’s geniuses to protest that his stamina was anything but weak.

Lu Chen and the exhausted defenders endured seven days of escalating attacks inside the God Kingdom while the besieged God of Nightmares repeatedly died and revived. When divine blood spilled into their area, Lu Chen charged the resulting monsters and fought them with his overwhelming defense, leaving him battered but alive as a blade-wielding foe struggled to pierce his skull.

• Lu Chen relied on Blood Replenishing Pills and hunted alone while the God Kingdom suppressed his recovery skills, then stopped when evil beings surrounded the plaza.

• Lu Chen exchanged sealed divine blood for three more Divinity Crystals, then learned Size As One Wishes and saw a giant grow to two hundred meters and destroy a mountain with a punch.
