When the God of Time attacked, Lu Ming chuckled coldly, forcefully blocking the scimitar in His hand with the Irithyll Straight Sword. He then immediately and without hesitation took the Peheim Magic Staff and used the Bloodlust Crescent spell, severing the hand holding the scimitar from the God of Time with a single strike.

As the crimson magic sword flashed, the arm of the God of Time flew out, spraying pale blue divine blood all over the ground, turning some white flowers pale blue, which looked very glaring.

At this moment, the God of Time, who had lost an arm due to excruciating pain, let out a terrifying scream, startling both the Blood Princess of the Moon and the God of Space.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lothric swung his longsword without hesitation, severing one of the arms of the God of Space, causing Him to scream in agony.

Unlike the light blue divine blood of the God of Time, the divine blood of the God of Space was light red and also had a corrosive effect. Wherever the divine blood splashed, white smoke rose with a hissing sound.

Fortunately, Lothric's longsword was fast enough, and his own speed was not enough, so when he severed the arm of the God of Space, he was not stained with the god's blood.

However, Lu Ming and Lothric were able to breathe a slight sigh of relief. Even though the arms of the two gods, Space and Time, who were controlled by the Blood Princess of the Moon, were cut off by the two of them, he remained unmoved and did not relax his control over the two unfortunate gods. Instead, he pressed his face against their bodies and injected something into their bodies, strengthening his control over these two native gods of Puru.

These two deities, pitifully, already had few followers in Pluto. For the sake of their few remaining followers, they resorted to any means necessary, even angering the chief gods of the major churches, to carve out a peaceful life for their few remaining followers, free from the curse of the undead. Now, however, they have become puppets of the Moon Blood Princess, forever unable to escape this tragic fate.

Because of this, after Lu Ming and Lothric switched the gods they were facing, every attack they launched was aimed directly at vital points.

At this moment, killing them is saving them, so Lu Ming and Lothric will not show any mercy.

Perhaps the gods of time and space were too weak, because after only a few rounds, Lu Ming and Lothric cut off their heads, causing their demise.

The death of the puppet god enraged the Blood Princess of the Moon, who spat out a large amount of cursed divine blood, shooting it at Lu Ming and his companion, forcing them to dodge so that she could catch them off guard by teleporting.

Unfortunately, Lu Ming and his companion were prepared. With just one Soul Spear and one Light Spear, they sent the Moon Blood Princess flying, who had lost her puppet and dared to teleport to their side!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Ming and his companion rushed forward, using their magic to create crystalline chains to bind the Moon Blood Princess and forcibly control her. In doing so, Lu Ming was sprayed with divine blood, his inner fire was suppressed, and his power suddenly decreased significantly.

Even so, the two of them still forcibly dragged the Blood Princess of the Moon back to the Firelink Shrine, and also brought back the heads of the Gods of Space and Time to the Firelink Shrine.

When Mia Linas and the others saw the Moon Blood Princess, a high-ranking god covered in tentacles, with exposed ribs and several irregular holes in her face, they were startled. When they saw the heads of the Gods of Space and Time, they were even more terrified.

However, Lu Ming and Lothric had no time to deal with them. After placing the God's Fire on their own thrones, Lu Ming and Lothric forcibly pressed the Moon Blood Princess against the bonfire at the Firelink Shrine, using their bodies to restrain the Moon Blood Princess who was struggling wildly, in order to prevent her from escaping.

Sensing that his power was weakening due to the curse of the divine blood and that he would soon lose control of the Moon Blood Princess, Lu Ming forcibly restrained the Moon Blood Princess, who was three or four times larger than himself, and shouted to Lily, "Begin the ritual! Quickly!"

"But..." Both Lilies seemed a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but shout, "Hurry! We're both about to be corrupted by His ancient god's blood!!"

Upon hearing this, the one of the two Lilies who had inherited the Fire Keeper's soul began the ritual. Instantly, the firewood on the five thrones ignited, transforming into three weak and two strong flames, which flew to the bonfire in the center of Firelink Shrine and merged into one image.

Lily scooped up the ball of firewood in her hands and sprinkled it on Lu Ming, Lothric, and the Blood Princess of the Moon.

Just as Lu Ming and the Moon Blood Princess were about to be teleported to the First Furnace, Lu Ming heard the two Lilies whispering, "You...you must come back..."

"Ah, I'll be back..."

-----------------------------------

Falling from the sky, Lu Ming crashed heavily into a pile of ashes filled with all sorts of weapons.

After crawling out of the ashes, Lu Ming removed the ashes that had accidentally gotten into his mouth, and then patted the ashes off his body.

Lothric was doing the same thing nearby.

The two exchanged a glance and, seeing that neither of them was familiar with this godforsaken place, couldn't help but sigh.

At that moment, the roar of the Moon Blood Princess suddenly reached their ears. They hurriedly used their speed and teleportation magic to narrowly dodge a barrage of Farron arrows and a large amount of divine blood.

This is no longer a dream, but the true primordial furnace, so both of them can unleash their full power here. The only condition is that they cannot be sprayed with the divine blood of the Moon Blood Princess; otherwise, being cursed by that divine blood here would likely cause their power to decrease several times over!

However, what troubled them both was that the incarnation of the Lord of Cinder had inexplicably joined forces with the Blood Princess of the Moon!

At this moment, the two of them have to deal with both the Moon Blood Princess and the incarnation of the Lord of Cinder, making it difficult for them to escape unscathed.

But whether it will work or not, we'll have to try to find out.

So Lu Ming and Lothric got into position and attacked the Blood Princess of the Moon and the incarnation of the Lord of Cinder.

Lothric's opponent is the Blood Princess of the Moon, while Lu Ming faces the incarnation of the Lord of Cinder.

The reason for this choice is that the Moon Blood Princess's combat power in the real world is insufficient, so it's acceptable to leave her to Lothric to deal with. Lu Ming, however, cannot afford to be sprayed with divine blood, otherwise he won't be able to defeat the incarnation of the Lord of Cinder.

Chapter Thirty-Two - Passing on the Flame

Because of the previous battle with Meg's nurse, the Irithyll Straight Sword was on the verge of breaking, so Lu Ming did not use the Irithyll Straight Sword in the battle. Instead, he chose the weapon combination of the Farron Greatsword and the Behemoth Staff.

From the very beginning, Lu Ming encountered the staff form of the Lord of Cinder's avatar. Before he could even get close, the Lord of Cinder's avatar fired several Crystal Soul Spears at Lu Ming. Furthermore, it began silently chanting incantations for other spells.

Seeing this, Lu Ming naturally knew that this avatar of the Lord of Cinder was plotting against him. Therefore, he did not blindly rush forward. Instead, while dodging the Crystal Soul Spear, he distanced himself from the avatar of the Lord of Cinder and attacked it with the Soul Spear and various elemental magics, preventing it from plotting against him. He successfully caused the avatar of the Lord of Cinder to miss its target with a Soul Greatsword attack.

However, with the distance between them, Lu Ming also lost the opportunity to interrupt the Lord of Cinder's avatar from casting Crystal Soul Blocks. This allowed the Lord of Cinder's avatar to easily hang the Crystal Soul Blocks above its head, putting considerable pressure on Lu Ming. It also made it difficult for him to make the right response when attacking, causing him to be frequently hit by the Crystal Soul Blocks and suffer considerable injuries when attacking the Lord of Cinder's avatar.

Fortunately, none of these injuries were serious. Although they weren't minor, they wouldn't cause him any problems when he made any moves, preventing him from dying at the hands of the Lord of Cinder's incarnation.

"A Crystal Soul Spear plus a Crystal Soul Block and a Soul Greatsword? This is really troublesome!" Looking coldly at the Lord of Cinder's avatar, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little troubled. It was already so difficult to deal with in its staff form. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome once it transformed into other forms?

Realizing he couldn't wait any longer, Lu Ming rushed forward, dodging several magical attacks from Crystal Soul Spears and Crystal Soul Blocks. He swiftly closed in on the Lord of Cinder's avatar, then swung his Farron Greatsword at its waist, as if to cleave it in two. The terrifying force of the blow dispersed the flames burning on the Lord of Cinder's body, sending sparks flying.

But at that moment, the Lord of Cinder suddenly transformed his staff into a scimitar, using only one hand to block Lu Ming's attack with the Farron Greatsword. Moreover, he still had the ability to free up one hand to grab Lu Ming's neck.

Seeing the flames on the hand that the Lord of Cinder was reaching for him, Lu Ming knew something was wrong. He quickly used his Divine Speed, flashing behind the Lord of Cinder with the Greatsword of Farron, preparing to deliver another backstab and severely injure the Lord of Cinder.

However, before Lu Ming could even raise his sword, the King of Cinder's avatar unleashed a backflip slash, swiftly turning around and aiming his curved blade at Lu Ming's neck. If this strike landed, Lu Ming would undoubtedly die!

Therefore, seeing this, Lu Ming had no choice but to hold the Farron Greatsword diagonally in front of him, forcibly blocking the attack from the Lord of Cinder's avatar, which nearly caused him to be knocked away by the Lord of Cinder's avatar. The Lord of Cinder's scimitar also left a deep wound on the Farron Greatsword, almost cutting it in two!

Thus, Lu Ming naturally dared not continue his relentless attack, and instead used his divine speed once again to retreat swiftly. But at this moment, Lu Ming suddenly hurled the Farron Greatsword in his hand like a javelin, shooting it towards the Lord of Cinder's avatar, and casually picked up a weapon belonging to a former challenger or the Lord of Cinder from the ground, once again charging towards the Lord of Cinder's avatar.

The heavy Farron greatsword, once hurled by Lu Ming, immediately hurtled towards the Lord of Cinder's avatar, but the avatar made no attempt to dodge. As the Farron greatsword hurtled towards him, the Lord of Cinder raised his scimitar and struck the greatsword down with a single blow.

But once you make a move, it's difficult to stop it.

Just as the Lord of Cinder avatar knocked down the Farron Greatsword that Lu Ming had thrown, Lu Ming followed up with a thrust of his sword!

The King of Cinder was too late to retract his attack. He could only forcefully take a step forward to steady himself and use his hand to block Lu Ming's attack!

The longsword pierced the hand of the Lord of Cinder, igniting a burst of flames. As the sword broke through the Lord of Cinder's defenses and hurtled toward his head, the blade was already glowing red-hot from the intense flames emanating from the Lord of Cinder, almost melting away.

Just as Lothric thought Lu Ming was about to succeed, the hand of the Lord of Cinder, pierced by the longsword, suddenly grabbed the remaining part of the blade. This hand, like an iron clamp, prevented the longsword from advancing or retreating, ultimately ending Lu Ming's attack in failure.

However, is this really the case?

The instant the longsword was grasped by the Lord of Cinder, Lu Ming unleashed Bloodlust Crescent, piercing the Lord of Cinder's body with the magical sword that instantly transformed from magic into a crystal sword, severely injuring the powerful being.

Of course, Lu Ming was not complacent because of his successful attack. The moment he saw purple smoke appear on the helmet of the Lord of Cinder, he used High Speed ​​Movement to quickly get away from the Lord of Cinder.

Then, Lu Ming saw the King of Cinder transform and spew out a cloud of purple poisonous mist, concealing himself.

Because his vision was blocked by the poisonous fog, Lu Ming could only rely on sound to determine what the King of Cinder was doing in that fog.

As Lu Ming pulled another spear from the ground, he heard two crisp metallic sounds. The first sound was probably the one from the Lord of Cinder breaking the longsword he had just successfully pierced into its hand, while the second sound was... the sound of the Firelink Greatsword transforming into another form.

Therefore, Lu Ming naturally put in his utmost attention to avoid being ambushed and killed by the King of Cinder in his avatar.

"What!?" Even though Lu Ming was cautious, he was still startled when the Lord of Cinder's avatar burst out of the poisonous mist at unimaginable speed and charged at him, using the Firelink Greatsword to make a spear-like thrust. He hurriedly used his divine speed to dodge the Lord of Cinder's attack. However, even so, the Firelink Greatsword still left a scratch on Lu Ming's face.

Because he had been grazed by the Fire-Connecting Greatsword, which was burning with intense flames, Lu Ming felt as if his right cheek was on fire, extremely hot and painful. However, he knew that his face had only been scratched by the Fire-Connecting Greatsword and was not actually burning.

So, after regaining his footing, Lu Ming, without a word, unleashed a beam of icy blue light at the Lord of Cinder's avatar, instantly freezing it. This gave him a chance to devour Meg's healer's soul, replenish his nearly depleted mana, and, before the Lord of Cinder could break free of the ice, forcefully plunge his spear into the frozen avatar's head...

After landing his attack, Lu Ming immediately distanced himself from the Lord of Cinder. Regardless of whether the Lord of Cinder was frozen by the freezing ray or whether his spear pierced its head, Lu Ming had to stay away. Because at this moment, it was a bomb! A bomb about to explode!

With a deafening "BOOM!!!", a terrifying burst of flame erupted from the Flamelink Greatsword of the Lord of Cinder, melting and evaporating all the frost on the Lord of Cinder's body.

Looking at the incarnation of the Lord of Cinder, which was still burning fiercely in a steamy environment with not a trace of oxygen, Lu Ming instinctively felt something was wrong.

What happened next confirmed Lu Ming's suspicions even more—things had truly taken a turn for the worse! At that moment, the Lord of Cinder, in his guise, fired a lightning spear into the sky. Soon, the spear exploded into dozens of lightning bolts, hurtling towards Lu Ming, Lothric, and the Blood Princess of the Moon!

Seeing that the target of the lightning spear rain was also the Blood Princess of the Moon, Lu Ming and Lothric knew that the Lord of Cinder avatar at this moment was no longer a fusion of the wills of many Lords of Cinder. The Lord of Cinder avatar now had only one will, and that was the Lord of Cinder, Gwyn!

It is precisely because of this that the Moon Blood Princess became a target of attack, instead of an ally as before.

This is Him. Therefore, He has no memories of the other Lords of Cinder, nor of the previous agreement with the Blood Princess of the Moon, and He utterly disdains allying with her, for His own power far surpasses that of the Blood Princess of the Moon, a high-ranking god with low combat strength and misplaced skill points. Gwyn was the God-King of Anor Londo before linking the First Flame!

How could a god-king possibly cooperate with a weak, unknown foreign god? This would be an utter disgrace!

And so it was. The Moon Blood Princess, who was fighting Lothric and had the upper hand, almost driving Lothric to a dead end, was brought to the brink of death by a lightning spear rain from the Lord of Cinder, which brought Lothric from a very passive and unfavorable position to the position of victor!

Moreover, since Lothric already possessed teleportation magic, the lightning bolts raining down from the Lord of Cinder posed no threat to him whatsoever. He dodged them in a few swift movements.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming, relying on his incredible speed and high-speed movement, successfully avoided the barrage of lightning bolts from the Lord of Cinder. Although Lu Ming looked somewhat disheveled, he was fortunately unharmed and suffered no problems whatsoever.

Seeing this, the avatar of Lord Cinder was furious. Having been burned for countless years and left with only a sliver of consciousness, he roared, gripped the Flame-Borrowing Greatsword tightly, and lunged at Lu Ming.

When He was close enough to Lu Ming, the Lord of Cinder swung the Flame-Borrowing Greatsword violently, once, twice, three times, four times...

Lu Ming struggled to dodge the attacks of the Lord of Cinder, but in the end, the Lord of Cinder suddenly plunged the Flamelink Greatsword into the ground, triggering a violent explosion of flames that sent Lu Ming flying. He landed heavily on the ground, tumbling and breaking many of the weapons stuck in the ashes.

"Cough! Cough!" Lu Ming collapsed to the ground, coughing up two large mouthfuls of blood. His face was pale, but even so, his eyes remained fixed on the King of Cinder's avatar.

"I...won't...give up~!!" Forcing himself to his feet, Lu Ming suddenly roared and transformed into a giant serpentine dragon, flapping his four enormous wings as he pounced on the Lord of Cinder's avatar.

Because of its incredible speed, the Lord of Cinder's avatar didn't have time to dodge and was sent flying by the dragon's attack.

Unlike the dragon's previous disheveled state, the Lord of Cinder merely somersaulted twice in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground, then fired a spear of sunlight at the dragon.

The Sunlight Spear is a divine weapon for slaying dragons, but the problem is that you have to hit it!

The dragon was an expert at using the Sunfire Spear, so how could it not know that its scales couldn't withstand that damned Sunfire Spear?

So the instant the Lord of Cinder emanated and fired the Sun Spear, the dragon spewed out large amounts of crystals, intercepting the Sun Spear.

Furthermore, it used the tentacles on its neck as arms to unleash countless spells at the Lord of Cinder's avatar, launching a terrifying bombardment, intending to blast the Lord of Cinder's avatar into nothingness.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as the dragon had hoped. The Lord of Cinder's avatar wasn't blasted to smithereens by the magic; instead, it approached the dragon unharmed and unleashed a pillar of lightning upon it!

In an instant, the dragon scales were torn apart by lightning, and blood burning with the flames splattered all over the ground.

The dragon roared in pain and hurriedly flapped its giant wings to fly into the sky, avoiding another attack from the Lord of Cinder's avatar, the Sun Spear.

In the sky, the dragon seemed to heal the hideous wounds on its body inflicted by the lightning pillar with the powerful self-healing ability of a dragon, and then shot out a series of huge seeds from its mouth, which shot towards the avatar of the Lord of Cinder.

Seeing the Lord of Cinder forced to dodge the attacks of the seeds, the dragon roared and used its powerful magic to make the seeds sprout and grow into a large patch of plants that, like tentacles, smashed, wrapped around, and stabbed at the Lord of Cinder.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Cinder suddenly swung his Flame-Borrowing Greatsword, unleashing a raging inferno that burned all the plants that dared to approach Him to ashes.

However, the dragon's killing move wasn't the seeds and plants; those were merely minor tricks to distract the Lord of Cinder's avatar, utterly insignificant. The next attack was the dragon's true, decisive blow.

Knowing that the dragon's next attack could be terrifyingly powerful, Lothric immediately and without hesitation teleported himself and the Blood Princess of the Moon onto the dragon's back and under its claws.

The dragon grabbed the Blood Princess of the Moon and then swallowed the golden slug that had broken through space. When the central eye of the nine eyes on the dragon's enormous head became as deep as the universe due to the slug's power, the dragon roared.

In that instant, a power completely different from magic was condensed in His mouth.

Yes, that is divine power. After consuming half of Amigodala's soul and the soul of Mego's wet nurse, He has now consumed the soul of the slug born from the ritual of 'The Call from Afar,' and has successfully reached the level of godhood.
