Magnus understood this as well. It intended to kill Father Shen in one fell swoop!

WHOOSH!

But this time was different. Seeing Magnus’s weapon approaching again, the Immortal Sword that had been sweeping across the battlefield wheeled around and shot even more rapidly toward the tip of the double-bladed weapon. The Immortal Emperor, his Divine Sense covering the entire battlefield, was one of the few who had sensed the double-bladed weapon’s approach. He had even calculated that the weapon was targeting Father Shen’s chess array.

Originally, I thought Father Shen’s chess Array was invincible. After all, he is the father of *that* person.

But to the Immortal Emperor’s surprise, the powerful chess Array couldn’t even withstand a single thrown attack. Instantly realizing that it wasn’t that Father Shen was weak, but that the boss before him was invincible, the Immortal Emperor saw the weapon being thrown again and immediately sent his Immortal Sword to intercept it.

At the same time, he and Huang Yi exchanged a glance and moved to shield Father Shen, putting him behind them. Seeing that a single blow had made Father Shen cough up blood, they both judged that this boss was no ordinary foe. This wasn’t just a Summoning-type boss that could call forth endless monster tides. It was a super monster whose own Combat Power and intelligence were also immense.

BOOM!

The two had just taken a step forward to shield Father Shen when the Immortal Sword and the massive double-bladed weapon collided. An even match! The two weapons that crashed together were surprisingly evenly matched, sending each other flying back.

Just moments ago, he had been controlling his Flying Sword to annihilate the approaching Demon army and help the humans establish a defensive line. Now, after this single exchange, Zhao Li finally understood where the real problem lay. The boss was the one who needed attention!

ROAR!

The Immortal Emperor maneuvered his Flying Sword, about to move in and finish Magnus at close range. To his surprise, before he could even act, Magnus reacted first. The creature retrieved its massive double-bladed weapon, gripped it tight, and with a launch from its powerful hind legs, it leaped more than ten kilometers in a single bound, charging directly at the three-man team.

Straight into a melee! Moreover, as Magnus shot through the air, its body continued to grow! The weapon in its hands was growing larger too! Plummeting from above, Magnus gripped its enormous weapon with both hands, bringing it down viciously upon the three-man squad. Its eyes shone with bloodlust and madness. Furthermore, its weapon erupted in billowing green flames that illuminated the entire sky.

WHOOSH!

Magnus immediately opened with a Close Combat ultimate, stunning everyone. The newly established battle line instantly collapsed. Everyone had seen Magnus take out Father Shen, who was countless times stronger than them, with a single throw of its weapon. Faced with the boss plummeting from the sky for a close-quarters smash, the first thought of all the players was to run.

They had no choice but to defend, forced into it by Country F. But no one was willing to die for Country F. Almost instantly, the crowd that had just formed the defensive line began to flee.

Unfortunately, having been teleported here by the Divine Artifact, they couldn’t leave the confines of the stadium at all. They could only flee from the center of the stadium to the edge, where they were blocked by an invisible barrier. On the other hand, the local people from Country F easily escaped the stadium.

"You bastards!!!"

"Send me back!!"

"You fucking Country F bastards!!! I’ll haunt you to your graves!!"

"Send me back, or I’ll kill you!!!"

The trapped athletes grew desperate. Roaring in fury, some of them even charged the nearby wielder of the Country F Divine Artifact.

This is outrageous! We were invited here for a competition! Now you’ve cut off our escape route! You’re leaving us here to die. If we’re going to die, we’ll take you with us!

ROAR!

Overhead, having reached the apex of its leap, Magnus watched the chaos among the humans below. A wicked smirk crossed its face as it accelerated its descent.

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

Faced with Magnus’s direct charge, the Immortal Emperor acted with a single thought. An entire set of flowing, ethereal robes instantly materialized on his body as he finished inheriting his second equipment set. Now possessing all of his inherited equipment, the Immortal Emperor instantly donned his full set of gear. His Comprehensive Combat Power instantly skyrocketed by a hundredfold.

Then, FWASH!

The Immortal Emperor’s arm-length Immortal Sword also grew to several hundred meters long this time and shot up to clash with Magnus high in the sky!

"Don’t run!!"

"We must stand united!!!"

"Look at the Immortal Emperor of Great Xia!!"

Everyone was startled when Zhao Li suddenly appeared clad in glowing robes. No one had expected that this powerful figure had been hiding his Combat Power. Seeing this, the wielder of Country F’s Divine Artifact cried out in excitement. As they shouted, they waved their Divine Artifact, layering a massive amount of buffs onto the Immortal Emperor.

Then, the light radiating from the Immortal Emperor, now clad in a full set of Immortal Artifacts, intensified once more.

BOOM!

The giant Immortal Sword and Magnus’s double-bladed weapon collided once again.

An even match! Still an even match!!

"Fuck! Is Magnus’s talent ’Perfectly Matched’ or something?!"

"Our great Immortal Emperor has a full set of gear and is covered in buffs, and Magnus can *still* block him!?"

"That’s a cheat ability!!"

Everyone watching this scene through the live-stream thread was dumbfounded. This... what the hell is this situation?!

"According to the game’s lore, this guy can shatter a Magic City with a single blow!"

"And if you drink his blood, it can change your bloodline, making a Beastman more powerful and Bloodthirsty!"

"In the game’s background story, this guy is a World-Ending Level boss!"

"To kill him, you have to split his head open!"

"Who inherited the weapon [Blood Roar] from World of Warcraft? In the lore, Blood Roar is the weapon used to kill this guy!!"
