The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

After saying that, the scarred man crushed a blood-red token.

Countless array patterns immediately floated up, forming a blood array with a range of 100 meters.

All the believers' eyes lit up; they recognized this formation.

I only need to suffer weakness for two days to gain thousands of faith points? That's fantastic!

Without hesitation, they all stood inside the blood array.

The scarred man glanced around. "You're all in, right?"

"Yes, they're all in, Head Steward!"

"Very good." The scarred man grinned. "Since you've already made it in, I won't pretend anymore."

Friends, I'll borrow your lives for you!

Give it to me! Offer it as a sacrifice!

With a powerful roar, the blood array shone brightly, rapidly absorbing the lifespan of more than forty believers, all of whom were above level 70.

Sensing their life force rapidly disappearing, the believers were thrown into a panic.

"Weren't you only going to take a little? Steward, what are you doing?!"

"Stop it now!"

"No, ah!"

Hearing the screams of agony, the scarred man laughed wildly.

"Heh heh heh, just a little? You lowly trash, you think just a little bit can enhance my domain?!"

The youngest but highest-ranking member of the faith could not believe it and cried out, "Aren't we family? Shouldn't we love each other? How could you harm your own family?!"

He truly regarded the Order as his home!

Everyone here is nice, and they all get along well with Ge Ke. It's so much better than that home where everyone just compares themselves to other kids and is full of pressure.

But why is this family broken too?

Watching the pitiful young man's heart-wrenching questions, the scarred man continued to smoke his cigarette without stopping.

After a long silence, he said, "You have all given your lives to me. If this is not love, then what is?"

Under the horrified gaze of the young believer, the scarred man intensified his sucking, "Alright, go to sleep."

I will carry on your journey, for the rest of your lives.

With the power of the blood array, the greatsword seemed to be stained, gradually turning blood red.

At that moment, its power surged instantly, and it actually pushed back despite the fusion breath.

Holding the activated divine fusion artifact, Lu Yuan was able to directly perceive and see everything through the combined fiery red demonic dragon's perspective.

A distance of over twenty kilometers could not stop those dark, star-like vertical eyes.

Seeing the Eternal Order members getting along so well again, Lu Yuan remained silent.

The scarred man, wielding his greatsword as he swept back, burst into wild laughter. "Boy, can you feel the power of our Eternal Order's bonds?!"

"I felt it. Now, let me let you feel my bond."

Lu Yuan's expression was calm, and all the black spots on his body floated up in front of him.

As the first one was crushed, black power surged into the fusion breath, instantly increasing its power.

Because the current fusion breath is too strong, it completely exceeds the range of Kuroko's amplification, and the effect is greatly reduced.

If one isn't enough, then two, three!

Just like Yang Long said, don't skimp on things when it matters.

Lu Yuan crushed more than a dozen of them in a row, causing the power of his fused breath to surge wildly, as if he had broken through a certain critical point. Instantly, the blood-red giant sword trembled violently.

I can barely take it!

"No! This is impossible!" The smile on the scarred man's face vanished, replaced by horror.

"This is something I sacrificed the lives of over forty family members to obtain, how could it be broken! How could it be broken?!"

I still want to lead them on this journey!!!

Lu Yuan was indifferent; how could a mere forty-odd lives compare to the sweat he had poured into his work day and night?

How could it possibly compare to the dazzling light of the sun at five in the morning!

He slowly grasped the last black piece in his palm.

"Star Candle! Tide Moon! Burning Sun! Give it to me, crush it!"

Click!

As the black pieces shattered, the crimson dragon's vertical eyes suddenly shone brightly, causing the earth to sink once more.

Boom! The bursting fusion beam became even more dazzling.

The blood-red greatsword also developed cracks under the impact of the terrifying divine fusion power.

This is like toppling dominoes; more and more cracks appear and spread wildly.

Then, it shattered with a deafening roar, engulfing the scarred man who was gripped by extreme terror.

boom!

The earth shook violently, and the unobstructed beam of light instantly traversed an immense distance, creating a straight passage stretching for countless kilometers. Its dazzling light almost dimmed half of Yongweiya.

Whether they were students on the run or followers in pursuit, they could all see it, and their eyes immediately filled with shock.

At position number 78, a soldier on guard duty was yawning when, in the next moment, he suddenly felt his vision brighten to an extreme.

Immediately, the distant mountain peak, tens of meters high, exploded instantly. A dazzling beam of light, stretching across the sky and earth, pierced through and engulfed everything, shattering hundreds of meters around it!

The terrifying impact, even from an unknown distance, knocked him over.

Only then did the enormous roar reach his ears, and he sat there on the ground, stunned.

After a long while, he swallowed hard and murmured, "What...what happened?"

Not to mention the many soldiers stationed elsewhere, even the commander of the No. 78 position who had come out was shocked to see that the once lush and winding mountain had been turned into a mess of broken ground.

The scene, as if wiped out by some terrifying force, left them speechless.

Suddenly, I miss my Lord Lu Yuan so much.

No, even he couldn't possibly lift an entire mountain in an instant, could he?

What kind of monster is this?

Equally shocking was another battlefield where the fighting had become incredibly fierce.

The elders of the cult, along with one less mentor and only four remaining, stopped fighting and looked towards the distant beam of light that shone like starlight but had created an endless passage through the destruction. Their faces were grim.

I don't know what's going on.

……

After the divine fusion was broken, the fiery red dragon collapsed and transformed into three girls.

Lu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this attack successfully killed the cult's domain master; otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

After all, he didn't have any readily available energy stones to replenish his divine fusion artifact, so he couldn't launch another attack.

With such a tremendous effort, the rewards are quite pleasing.

He was promoted two levels in one go!

The amount of experience provided by those in the field is astonishing!

He's already level 77!

Most importantly, the danger has finally been temporarily averted.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan smiled and turned around, "Professor Luo, it's alright, let's go..."

The sound suddenly stopped.

Because, at some point, the icy-white woman had already fallen to the ground.

That life force was like a flickering flame, growing ever fainter, and could vanish at any moment.

Lu Yuan's face immediately darkened, and he told the silver-haired girl to lead everyone away immediately, since there had just been such a commotion.

It will definitely attract many believers to come and see.

Even more domain-specific individuals have arrived.

……

Half an hour later.

A hidden cave.

"How is Professor Luo?"

The silver-haired girl shook her head. "Life is almost over, Summoner."

Not only were there numerous injuries, but they were also afflicted with some kind of terrifying curse.

Even under these circumstances, internal fighting is still breaking out.

I doubt they'd survive another day.

Lu Yuan's expression was grave.

Yongweiya was trapped by the great formation and could not get out. He was also surrounded and searched by countless cultists.

Perhaps, not to mention Professor Luo Ning, he too would die.

But... he doesn't want to collapse here. If he collapses here, what will his mother do?

Those family housing units weren't purchased; will the university take them back?

Will those who clashed with him at the city government retaliate after his death?

He didn't want his summoned beasts to die with him; they all had their own unfinished business.

And then there's Star Candle; he can't imagine the other's death.

He didn't want Luo Ning to die either.

In that case, there's only one way...

Lu Yuan silently looked at the ice-white woman lying on the soft legs of the blue-black dress-clad elf, her chest rising and falling slightly, a testament to her still being alive.

Only if she recovers can Yongweya's inevitable death be averted.
