A Tough Challenge

"That should be enough to deal with you, right?"

Old Ancestor Blood River quickly checked the capabilities provided by the Deathmatch System.

The Deathmatch System probably determined that Lu Bai posed too great a threat.

After all, it was more like the Deathmatch System only provided assistance based on what Old Ancestor Blood River lacked.

However, Lu Bai's performance proved that providing him with one or two abilities in succession was meaningless except for making Lu Bai stronger.

Fixing the bug related to Lu Bai was given the highest priority in the Deathmatch System's judgment.

Therefore, the Deathmatch System went all out, providing Ability Pool, regardless of level, to the Old Ancestor Blood River, allowing him to choose how to use them.

Of course, this ability is limited in time; the Deathmatch System itself is very rigid and cannot overcome its limitations.

The Old Ancestor Blood River was unaware of this, but his expression visibly transformed into ecstasy.

The more he understood the effects of these abilities, the more confident he became.

He felt that if he could return to his own world, even disregarding the gold, silver, and white levels of ability, he could easily reach the pinnacle of the Cultivation World just by relying on these colored-level abilities.

White-level abilities are negligible, but Silver level already fall into the supernatural realm.

Perhaps the Silver level ability has too many flaws and is not very useful on its own, but if it can be paired with the right ability, the effect may not be weaker than that of the color-level ability.

After all, there are simply too many of these abilities; if you randomly select and combine them, you can easily create a powerful combination of abilities.

It is worth mentioning that when Lu Bai looked at the "stars" above the Old Ancestor Blood River's head, after his initial surprise, he revealed a joy like that of a bountiful harvest.

He has already begun trying to access the abilities of the Old Ancestor Blood River.

The result is that no matter how the Old Ancestor Blood River obtained these abilities, as long as the source is the Deathmatch System, there is still no problem in reading them.

[Loading the save file] proved the domineering nature of Black-level abilities with facts.

However, the sheer number of these abilities is indeed enormous.

Although the entire process of reading the data went smoothly, the sheer volume of data meant that it would be a task that Lu Bai could not complete in a short time.

The sheer number of abilities made him think that the reading speed was too slow.

Having probably gained too much access to his abilities all at once, Old Ancestor Blood River was completely unaware that the abilities granted by the Deathmatch System were being plundered by Lu Bai.

This powerful figure from the demonic sect has now completely relaxed.

He had only glanced at a tiny fraction of the vast Ability Pool, yet he was confident that Lu Bai had no chance of winning.

"This is no longer a small-scale operation."

The Old Ancestor Blood River's words carried a hint of lightness as he pointed a finger to the sky. "Come on, Heavenly Venerate Lu, let's move on to the next round."

Buzz~

Suddenly, an enormous pressure vortex appeared in the night sky above his head, stretching for at least a hundred miles at a rough glance.

Lu Bai was still silently reading the Old Ancestor Blood River's abilities. He didn't even have the mind to check the ability information he had read; he was just focused on activating the [save/load] function.

At least three or four abilities are credited per second.

To be fair, this read speed isn't actually slow.

However, the Old Ancestor Blood River possessed more than a million points of light representing his power above his head.

At Lu Bai's current reading speed, he can only barely read over ten thousand abilities per hour.

In order to acquire abilities more efficiently, he had to prioritize learning abilities of Silver level and above.

Even so, it remains a long way off before all of these abilities can be fully acquired.

"We can't waste time."

Two figures stood atop a mountain.

Because the moon had disappeared, they could feel the wind on the mountaintop getting stronger and stronger.

One of them knelt devoutly in the direction where the moon had been. "What a mighty power! These ignorant fools don't understand that they survived entirely because of the Lord's mercy."

The other Mona Warrior, though not as eccentric as his companion, also had a solemn expression.

"Now that the Lord has begun to act, we should not continue to sit idly by and reap the benefits. Let us gather our comrades and contribute our modest strength to the Lord's great cause."

"That's right."

The kneeling Mona Warrior responded immediately, but before he could stand up, he noticed a massive air pressure vortex forming above the distant new city.

"Has any comrade already set off? Let's go too, we can't let that comrade have all the glory."

"That's exactly right."

The two Mona Warrior reached an agreement and quickly set off for the scene.

To their surprise, the changes in the new city were far more complex than they had imagined.

Not long after the enormous and terrifying pressure vortex appeared, they noticed that a visible spherical power fluctuation suddenly appeared in the area where the new city was located, followed by a terrifying shock that first came from afar.

Even at this great distance, one can still feel its overwhelming power.

"Have they already exchanged blows?"

"I have a feeling something's not right. Should we try to contact the Lord first?"

"No need, speed things up."

"I don't recall any of my comrades having this ability..."

"[Heavenly Phenomenon Descends] plus [Magic to Physics]."

The Old Ancestor Blood River casually spread his hands and added, "Just two abilities combined can unleash such power."

"I could have as many abilities as I wanted; what do you have to fight me with?"

Looking at Lu Bai in the distance, the Old Ancestor Blood River already felt victory was within his grasp.

The two are nearly a kilometer apart.

The previous collision turned this middle section into a huge, sunken crater.

The fresh soil churned up from the pit was as smooth as if it had been rolled over by a heavy road roller, compressed so that there was not a single gap.

Within this area, even newly constructed buildings were completely destroyed, leaving no trace, let alone any survivors.

Lu Bai shook his hand, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Thanks to his [Steel Body], he wasn't seriously injured.

However, he really doesn't have a way to deal with the Old Ancestor Blood River for the time being.

This was the first time I'd encountered an opponent with so many abilities. I even reloaded my save and swung my sword until it was smoking, but it didn't diminish the power glow above Old Ancestor Blood River's head by much.

The problem is that the Old Ancestor Blood River clearly doesn't care about affecting innocent civilians, and the commotion he causes gets bigger and bigger each time.

Furthermore, the rapidly deteriorating Earth's ecology after the moon's disappearance cannot be ignored and must be addressed as soon as possible.

Lu Bai examined the ability information he had acquired during this period and muttered to himself.

"We need to be a little more proactive."
