From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 386: Spiritual Ceremony, Half-God Shadow

As mental pressure was emanating from the psychic circle, the supernatural warriors guarding around the circle released source energy, opened a composite protective shield, and covered the circle.

This composite protective shield is composed of multiple defensive means including spirit and energy, and can isolate against mental pressure.

However, after the protective shield appeared, it only weakened some of the mental pressure and did not completely isolate it.

You can imagine how strong this mental pressure is.

Qi Jinghui felt the mental pressure crushing him, his head buzzing, and he couldn't help but take a half step back.

Lu Heng also frowned slightly, looked back at him, and said, "If you can't stand it, get out first."

"It's okay." Qi Jinghui took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

After he recovered, he said in surprise: "What level is this mental pressure? This is too terrifying."

"Demigod level."

When Lu Heng felt the mental pressure coming, he already knew what was on the other side of the spiritual circle.

Because this mental pressure is very familiar, I have encountered it before, from the Skeleton Lord Leoric.

"Demigod?" When Qi Jinghui heard this answer, a look of shock flashed across his face.

This was not the first time Qi Jinghui had heard the description of demigod.

All countries and supernatural organizations in the human world collect information about the abyss world, and Qi Jinghui is the chief of staff of the Southern War Zone of Daxia. He has seen most of the intelligence and information from the abyss world.

Since half a year ago, abyss battlefields with danger levels reaching level 7 have appeared one after another.

In the Abyss Battlefield of Danger Level 7, there may not be demigod-level beings participating, but you will gradually come into contact with information related to demigods.

Therefore, Qi Jinghui has read a lot of information related to demigods.

One of them is about the "Skeleton Lord", and this one about the demigod was created after the recruitment of the Siren World ended.

In addition to the first-hand information reported by Lu Heng and Su Muyu, this file also contains information reported by Liu Haiyang, Jiang Shaoran and others.

At that time, Lu Heng led the team close to the Wugulan Cave and saw a powerful being hiding in a skeleton coffin on the seabed.

Lu Heng wrote a paragraph in this file, believing that this was a demigod-level existence, temporarily named the Skeleton Monarch.

Therefore, Qi Jinghui knew the name "Skeleton Monarch", but Lu Heng did not write the name "Leoric" in the file.

Because when I fought with the Skeleton Lord that time, the other party did not give his name, so this name naturally could not be written.

But now I can write.

Because Clyde Savile said that the oracle he heard through spiritualism came from a demon lord of the abyss named "Leoric".

The name "Leoric" has been written into the "Abyss Files" of the Southern Theater Intelligence Department, but it was created in another file.

Because, before today, there was no information linking "Skeleton Monarch" and "Leoric".

Lu Heng had seen a file with "Leoric" written on the header, which recorded the detailed process of Clyde Savile's spiritual communication.

"Staff Officer Qi, when you go back, you can merge the two files of the Skeleton Lord and Leoric. This mental pressure belongs to the Skeleton Lord."

When Qi Jinghui heard this, his eyes widened again and he asked, "Did you recognize this mental pressure?"

Lu Heng closed his eyes and replied, "Yes, I recognized it."

Qi Jinghui had no doubts. It was not surprising for a psychic with peak combat power to identify the identity of his opponent through mental pressure.

At this moment, Qi Jinghui understood a lot of things: "So, the target of this spiritual communication is you."

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes, it should be directed at me."

Qi Jinghui thought quickly in his mind and asked, "Do you want to stop the spiritual ceremony?"

After knowing the purpose of this spiritual communication, he was worried that something unexpected might happen next. If he wanted to be safe, stopping the ceremony was indeed the best way.

Lu Heng shook his head and replied, "It's too late."

It was indeed too late. The spiritual ritual only opened the spiritual channel connecting to the abyss world. When the mental pressure of the Skeleton Lord appeared, the function of the spiritual array had been completed.

Even if we destroy the psychic formation now, it will be useless.

The Skeleton Lord on the opposite side only needs to expend a little more energy to continue maintaining the spiritual communication.

"What should we do now?" Qi Jinghui frowned, feeling worried.

Lu Heng comforted him: "Don't worry too much, it's just a spiritual communication, it won't cause any waves."

Even if Clyde Savile maximized the power of the spiritual ritual, he could only use the power of the Skeleton Lord to temporarily increase his combat power.

Lu Heng even dared to snatch the divine essence of the Skeleton Lord. How powerful could Clyde Xavier be, who relied on spiritualism to obtain the power of the Skeleton Lord?
While talking.

As the spiritual ceremony continued, Clyde Savile began to emanate a strong aura of the abyss, and a tall skeleton shadow began to emerge behind him.

This skeleton shadow is seven meters tall and looks deep and terrifying.

Lu Heng felt the aura of the abyss and frowned slightly.

As the shadow of the Skeleton Lord became clearer and clearer, it was as if a demigod had descended to the earth, causing many of the supernatural warriors present to not dare to look up.

It seems that just one look at him will suck your soul away.

The Skeleton Monarch looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Heng. He slowly opened his mouth and said in a deep and distant voice: "Finally I caught you."

Lu Heng looked at him calmly and corrected him: "This is not called arrest, you can only say that you found me."

The Skeleton Lord snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Just as I expected, a weak ant like you was born into such a weak world."

Compared to the abyss world, the human world does not originally have any extraordinary powers. From this perspective, the human world is indeed "weak".

However, supernatural powers are not invincible. Even if humans only use technological power, they are capable of hurting demigods.

Because demigods cannot ignore the power of nuclear bombs.

As to whether a nuclear bomb can kill a demigod, that depends on the specific circumstances, but the explosive power of a nuclear bomb can definitely injure a demigod.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for killing a demigod with a nuclear bomb, that is, the demigod needs to be in the range of the nuclear bomb explosion, which is the most difficult condition to achieve.

After all, demigod-level beings possess unimaginable abilities, whether it is space teleportation or the ability to be immune to nuclear explosions, they can both defend against nuclear bomb attacks.

The so-called nuclear bomb that can hurt demigod means that the power of the nuclear bomb can break the defense.

In addition, if a demigod-level abyss demon really descends upon the human world, this demigod can also use nuclear bombs.

For a demigod, it was too easy to control a few humans who knew the codes for launching nuclear bombs.

Therefore, for a demigod, it is not too difficult to destroy the Blue Planet. It is enough to detonate nuclear bombs all over the world.

With the current power level of the human world, it is difficult to fight against a demigod-level abyss demon king.

Of course, if a demigod-level abyss demon king really descends upon the human world, it does not mean that the human world will definitely be destroyed.

Because the human world can also become an abyss battlefield, and conscripts will appear.

In other words, if a demigod-level Abyss Demon King descends on Blue Star, the summoned beings from another world may also be demigod-level. Even if not, they have the power to fight against demigods.

It's a very delicate balance.

...After Lu Heng and the Skeleton Lord looked at each other for a moment, he took the initiative to ask: "Since you are coming for me, just tell me your purpose."

There was anger in the Skeleton Monarch's tone: "Give me back what you took from me!"

Of course Lu Heng knew what he was talking about, it was naturally the source of divinity.

The divine essence is the embodiment of the power of demigods.

The Skeleton Lord lost a portion of his divine essence, which weakened his demigod power.

As long as he gets back the lost divine essence, he will be able to restore all his demigod powers.

When Qi Jinghui heard this, he turned around and observed Lu Heng's expression.

Because he didn't know what Lu Heng took from the Skeleton Lord.

There is no relevant record in the archives.

Lu Heng looked at the phantom of the Skeleton Monarch, his expression did not change at all, and asked calmly: "Is it useful to you?"

For a demigod on the side of an evil god, returning the divine essence cannot alleviate his anger.

If Lu Heng meets him in the abyss battlefield in the future, he will still be hunted down by him.

Therefore, there is no point in agreeing to such a request.

The Skeleton Monarch suppressed his anger and continued, "What you took is of no use to you. If you agree to return it, I can give you what you want."

"Give what?" Lu Heng didn't want to agree to his request, he just wanted to know more information.

"Class, your world hasn't seen the fourth class yet, I can give it to you." The Skeleton Lord offered a tempting exchange condition.

"What rank? I'm very picky about ranks." Lu Heng's lips curled up into a smile.

"The class that wields the power of the Grim Reaper is more powerful than you can imagine," the Skeleton Lord promised.

Hearing this answer, this class should refer to [Death Agent].

From this perspective, the Skeleton Lord has not given away the fourth job level yet, and now wants to exchange it for divine essence.

Lu Heng stared at the aura of the abyss emanating from him, and then changed the subject and said, "Haven't you already accepted the power of the abyss? Haven't you recovered to your full potential yet?"

After these words were spoken, the shadow of the Skeleton Lord froze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a mental pressure filled with anger began to vibrate.

Several low-level supernatural warriors, including Qi Jinghui, fell to the ground, covering their ears.

Someone immediately rushed forward and carried out the comrade who could not bear the mental pressure.

After Qi Jinghui was carried out of the hemispherical building, he squatted against the wall, gasping for breath, and then hurriedly shouted, "Quickly bring the computer."

A superpower warrior brought over a laptop.

The computer screen was displaying images of a spiritualistic ritual.

Qi Jinghui needed to pay close attention to the progress of the spiritual ceremony and not miss any process, but he still underestimated the mental pressure emitted by the Abyss Demon King.

So the only option was to observe from the sidelines with a laptop.

……

In the hemispherical building.

The spiritual ceremony is still going on, and the confrontation between Lu Heng and the Skeleton Lord continues.

The Skeleton Monarch roared angrily: "The aura of the abyss on me is all given by you. One day, I will make your native world fall into the abyss like me."

Lu Heng frowned and thought of something rather subtle.

In his previous life, this demigod-level skeleton monarch also accepted the power of the abyss, and finally obeyed the will of the abyss and destroyed the elves' main city, Kolos.

However, Lu Heng didn’t know how the Skeleton Lord in the previous life was swallowed by the abyss.

In this life, it seems that it was because of his own actions that the Skeleton Lord accepted the power of the abyss.

When in the Siren World, Lu Heng had guessed that the Skeleton Lord had been hiding in the Ubun Blue Cave for decades, probably to hide from a powerful enemy.

Combined with what he said now, I can roughly imagine what happened.

It is possible that he himself had taken away his divine essence, causing his demigod power to weaken. He was then pursued by powerful enemies and finally had to accept the power of the abyss.

Lu Heng did change some things, but it seems that the world line is still moving in the original direction.

Just like in his previous life, the Skeleton Lord accepted the power of the abyss.

Since he has been swallowed by the abyss, he will inevitably accept the will of the abyss in the future and attack the elves' main city, Kolos.

If that's the case, everything is back to square one.

The process changed, but the result did not.

Lu Heng thought of much more things than others.

The supernatural warriors present, including Qi Jinghui, were analyzing the Skeleton Lord's purpose, wanting to know what this demigod-level Abyss Demon Lord was going to do.

Lu Heng was thinking about how to change the future outcome.

Once the Elf King City Koros falls, the elves will eventually perish.

The elves are the known civilization that have persisted the longest during the abyss invasion.

The Ancient Tree of Knowledge possesses the most complete knowledge of the abyss world. If the elves perish, it will be more difficult to fight against the abyss in the future.

An idea came to Lu Heng's mind: would things have changed if he had not attacked the Skeleton Lord in the Wugulan Cave before?

After thinking about it, Lu Heng discarded the idea.

Even if an evil demigod like the Skeleton Lord had not been swallowed by the abyss, he could not become an ally in the fight against the abyss.

Even if he is not swallowed by the abyss now, he will still accept the power of the abyss when he is threatened. From this perspective, it is only a matter of time before he falls into the abyss.

After Lu Heng figured out these things, he looked up at the Skeleton Lord and responded in a formal tone: "You are already a minion of the abyss. The divine essence can't be returned to you. Do whatever you want."

"Damn reptile!"

The Skeleton Lord roared and raised his hand to point at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng clenched his fists to prepare for his attack, but the attack did not come.

The Skeleton Lord's finger did not emit any energy attack.

In fact, Lu Heng was not afraid even if he launched an energy attack.

With the current strength, there is no pressure to deal with this kind of demigod phantom that appears through the spiritual ritual.

Although the attack did not occur, something else did appear.

Something that made Lu Heng look surprised.
