System, Show Me Your Limits

Faced with the encroaching tide of blood, it was difficult for the technicians present to remain calm.

After all, this young man who called himself the Old Ancestor Blood River clearly possessed supernatural power, and no one wanted to personally experience what the effects of this blood tide were.

In addition, the corridors inside the building are relatively narrow, so you don't even know where to hide.

Therefore, apart from reminding Lu Bai to be careful, these technicians and staff could only retreat to the rooms on either side of the corridor and close the doors behind them.

In this comparison, Lu Bai, who remained calm, stood out.

As the blood tide drew closer, the smile on his face grew even brighter.

The reason is simple.

Even though he didn't know the exact principle behind how the Old Ancestor Blood River gained his abilities out of thin air, the feedback from the [load save] told Lu Bai that he could still claim the Old Ancestor Blood River's abilities for himself.

That's enough to confirm.

With his ability to [load saves], he actually hoped the other party could obtain a more powerful ability.

A surging tide of blood swept in from one end of the corridor, leaving no gaps.

It looked like the blood tide was about to engulf Lu Bai in the next second.

However, at that moment, an energy barrier that looked familiar to the Old Ancestor Blood River suddenly appeared, blocking Lu Bai and completely blocking the surging blood tide.

Lu Bai assessed the defensive strength of the energy barrier and chuckled, "Looks like I'm not so righteous after all."

Seeing this, the Old Ancestor Blood River at the other end of the corridor stiffened slightly, then forced out a cold smile, "So you have such methods too."

As a powerful figure from a sect who had smuggled himself out of the world of cultivation, he naturally wouldn't realize immediately that Lu Bai had taken away his abilities; at most, he would think it was a coincidence.

"But unfortunately, if Heaven wants to deal with you, what can you do?"

As Old Ancestor Blood River spoke, his expression suddenly brightened with joy.

He then raised his right hand, and a dazzling light emanated from his palm, quickly condensing into a spear of light about two meters long.

His tone was laced with undisguised sarcasm. "Heavenly Venerate Lu, stop resisting stubbornly."

Before he finished speaking, he hurled the light spear in his hand at Lu Bai without hesitation.

The ten-meter distance between them vanished in an instant.

The dazzling spear struck the energy barrier blocking Lu Bai's path.

Clearly, while the Deathmatch System may be rigid, it won't make basic mistakes.

The Old Ancestor Blood River's newly acquired ability is extremely effective against the [Ultraman Barrier].

The stalemate lasted barely a breath before the dazzling Ultraman Barrier shattered.

A violent surge of energy spread instantly.

Boom!!!

It's important to understand that the building housing the Combat Command Center, despite its short construction period, is of paramount importance, and there's absolutely no way they would cut corners.

However, faced with such terrifying energy fluctuations, the walls on both sides of the corridor crumbled instantly, as if made of paper.

With the outpouring of energy, not a single window in the building survived, and terrifying tremors reverberated throughout the entire structure, making it seem as if the building would collapse at any moment.

The situation is naturally even more exaggerated in the central area of the energy burst.

Brilliant beams of light shot out from the left and right sides of the building, piercing the endless night sky, with the building's walls offering no obstruction whatsoever.

Only after the energy had been completely released could a passage about five meters in diameter, running north to south, be confirmed to have appeared on the building.

The Combat Command Center only partially affected; aside from casualties, the unintentional impact on the power supply lines rendered it unable to continue operating normally.

It is worth mentioning that the military reacted quickly; a large number of armed troops have appeared around the building.

Among them were vehicles equipped with retractable ladders, which were already in use in an effort to rescue as many people as possible trapped inside the building.

In any case, the staff, research experts, and senior commanders within the building are all true elites, and losing any one of them would be a huge loss for the entire human race.

As for the much larger number of people, they could only stand outside and watch the situation unfold, completely clueless about what had happened, which inevitably led to some unrest.

However, thanks to Lu Bai's exaggerated methods, the large number of people were not easily instigated, and the credibility of the new order could be maintained for the time being.

Lu Bai brushed the dust off his clothes and looked at the Old Ancestor Blood River at the other end of the corridor, looking somewhat disheveled.

Of course, he was only in a sorry state; he wasn't injured in the attack.

"Is that all?" Lu Bai suddenly asked.

He's not in a hurry to kill Old Ancestor Blood River, since he can directly access any ability provided by the Deathmatch System.

Therefore, he was even more curious to know just how much more power the Old Ancestor Blood River could acquire.

Ideally, we should be able to figure out the logic behind how the Deathmatch System provides abilities. That way, we might be able to achieve the effect of customizing abilities in an unconventional way.

"Heavenly Venerate Lu, how pathetic! You can only be stubborn now; the Heavenly Dao of your world has already abandoned you."

Old Ancestor Blood River was clearly unaware of Lu Bai's thoughts. This native, who had sneaked out of the Deathmatch Arena, now showed an expression of absolute confidence.

Admittedly, the two abilities that the Deathmatch System provided him were not actually that strong.

But the significance behind this is quite profound.

With divine intervention, he didn't even know how he could lose.

"Do you consider the Deathmatch System to be the ultimate truth?"

Lu Bai was able to understand the Old Ancestor Blood River's way of thinking and apply it to the concept of cultivating immortality. The Deathmatch System did indeed have a somewhat alternative aspect of the Heavenly Dao.

He didn't bother to argue, simply raising his right hand, and a dazzling spear of light appeared in his grasp. "Then you'd better get the Deathmatch System to give you more help."

This identical attack method finally made Old Ancestor Blood River sense something was wrong.

He tried to conjure a dazzling spear of light in response, but was horrified to discover that he could no longer use this method. "How is this possible?!"

The Old Ancestor Blood River was so shocked that he fell silent.

He genuinely didn't understand what the Deathmatch System was, but in his eyes, Lu Bai's actions were no different from stealing the power of the Heavenly Dao.

No, this isn't just stealing; this is clearly robbing the Heavenly Dao.

"No wonder... no wonder the Heavenly Dao of your world wants to eliminate you."

For some reason, Old Ancestor Blood River felt a sense of fear.

He suddenly realized that the situation wasn't as certain as he had imagined.

"Come on, Deathmatch System, let me see your limits."

Lu Bai stared at the Old Ancestor Blood River, but spoke directly to the Deathmatch System.

The next second, he hurled the dazzling spear of light from his hand.

Like a streak of light, it illuminated the young face of the Old Ancestor Blood River, turning it a scorched yellow.
