The Stars Fill the Sky

The dazzling spear of light sliced through the air, instantly bridging the distance between the two.

Clearly, Lu Bai was testing the waters; he wanted to see what new tricks the Deathmatch System could come up with.

He didn't use [Flash Time] because he was worried that the Deathmatch System wouldn't have time to react and might accidentally kill Old Ancestor Blood River.

As it turns out, a rigid system, in a sense, also means that it will not make mistakes.

Suddenly, the Old Ancestor Blood River's exposed skin gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Bang!

The deafening clang of metal echoed throughout the entire building in an instant.

The energy of the dazzling spear was not absorbed, but was instead blocked by the terrifying defense.

A violent energy surge swept out, like a raging hurricane, violently obliterating half of the already crumbling building.

Without a doubt, quite a few unfortunate people were affected by this attack.

However, Lu Bai possesses more than one way to revive these people, so there's no need to worry too much.

"Is it just a passive grant of abilities?"

Lu Bai observed the power lights emerging from the Old Ancestor Blood River's body, lost in thought.

He could see the surprised expression on the Old Ancestor Blood River's face; clearly, even Old Ancestor Blood River himself didn't know what abilities the Deathmatch System would provide.

Lu Bai smiled and reminded him, "Just giving me one or two abilities won't be enough to deal with me."

The Old Ancestor Blood River felt the unknown power covering him vanish instantly, realizing that Lu Bai had probably used that "robbery of the Heavenly Dao" method again.

Even without Lu Bai's reminder, he knew that there was no way to deal with Lu Bai if things continued this way.

Admittedly, he wasn't entirely sure what kind of power the Deathmatch System possessed, but judging from Lu Bai's exaggerated performance, he shouldn't expect too much; elevating him to Lu Bai's level shouldn't be a problem, right?

He unconsciously took a half step back, silently roaring in his heart, "If you want my help, what are you being stingy with? Give me all your strength!"

Before he could experience any new changes in his body, he suddenly realized that Lu Bai had disappeared from his sight.

With [Flash Time], Lu Bai wasn't worried about not finding an opportunity to make a move.

He came up behind the Old Ancestor Blood River, his gaze calm, without revealing the slightest killing intent, but his hands did not stop moving.

He raised his right hand and punched the back of the Old Ancestor Blood River's head.

Having tested the waters with the previous attack, Lu Bai wasn't worried that the Deathmatch System wouldn't be able to react in time.

Before the fist even landed, Old Ancestor Blood River already felt the sharp pressure of the fist coming from behind his head, making his scalp tingle.

Unfortunately, with so little time left, he had no time to react and could only place all his hopes on the Deathmatch System.

Lu Bai only threw one punch, the chain reaction it triggered was extremely violent.

The exaggerated power fluctuations were visible to the naked eye, forming a drill-shaped fist wind. The entire fist wind was even larger than the building beneath their feet, like a divine punishment descending from the sky.

Since Lu Bai was currently behind the Old Ancestor Blood River, he couldn't notice the sudden curve of the other's lips.

Boom!!!

After a tremendous roar, a cloud of dust billowed up, and countless pieces of building debris were ejected.

The building, which was already drafty, was completely destroyed by Lu Bai's punch, leaving only a few exposed steel reinforcement columns standing on the ground. It was clear that it could not be put back into use after repairs and reinforcements alone.

"Holy crap!"

"It's collapsed! It's collapsed!"

"That's scary... What's going on?"

"Don't crowd around, stay away."

A cacophony of exclamations erupted, rising and falling, far more noisy than a morning market.

Thanks to the new order established by Lu Bai, the people have much greater freedom than before, which has led to an unprecedentedly large number of onlookers.

Many bystanders were injured or killed in the aftermath of the attack.

Car rooftops, streets, rooftops, windowsills...

Everywhere there was room to stand, it was packed with people.

In this situation, even if people realize the danger, they cannot evacuate in a short period of time.

The commotion startled the crowd, causing chaos and frequent stampedes.

Fortunately, Lu Bai had anticipated this situation. He stood up from the billowing smoke and dust and silently began his [Mindstream Network].

"I am Lu Bai. Please don't panic. I'm watching you."

The same voice echoed in everyone's minds.

It must be admitted.

Lu Bai's prestige was not strong enough to command the obedience of the people with a single word.

However, the final line, "I'm watching you," with its subtle threat, quickly calmed the escalating situation back down.

Regardless of whether these people who have returned to the ground are satisfied with the new order, everyone still acknowledges the fact that Lu Bai's power is the greatest.

Even if there are some troublemakers among the people, they still have to consider that Lu Bai might settle scores later.

What are you looking at?

The Old Ancestor Blood River crawled out of the ruins not far away, looking somewhat disheveled.

Clearly, Lu Bai's [Mindstream Network] wasn't very sophisticated, and Old Ancestor Blood River was also casually included in it.

Hearing the noise, Lu Bai glanced at him and then read out the two new abilities that had appeared on the other person.

Unlike before, this time, the Old Ancestor Blood River reacted immediately to the ability to read it, saying with admiration, "As expected of Heavenly Venerate Lu."

Before Lu Bai could respond, he added, "What a pity, the Heavenly Dao of this world has already chosen me."

Lu Bai slightly suppressed his smile and remained silent.

"The method of stealing the Heavenly Dao is truly powerful, but I suppose you don't know it yet?"

The Old Ancestor Blood River opened his arms to the night sky. "The power you stole is but a drop in the ocean compared to the power of the Heavenly Dao!"

The next second, Lu Bai's pupils contracted slightly.

The situation appeared calm and uneventful, with no apparent changes.

An ordinary person looking at this would only be puzzled.

However, Lu Bai possessed the ability to [load saves], so he was able to notice it clearly.

The moment the Blood Old Ancestor Blood River opened his arms, countless points of light representing power emerged from the top of his head.

From Lu Bai's perspective.

White, silver, gold, and colored.

The four-colored light spots, like a sky full of stars, are brilliant and dazzling.

There were so many that Lu Bai couldn't tell whether they were specks of light representing abilities or just his eyes playing tricks on him.

It's important to understand that deathmatchers who can retain one or two abilities are already considered elite among deathmatchers.

These countless points of light represent countless abilities.

Even disregarding the effects of their abilities, the sheer number of them is astounding.

Upon seeing this scene, even Lu Bai subconsciously gasped.

"The system has given you everything?"
