Chapter 52: Battle Against the Lotus Rock Lord
The Nine Nether Region, Lotus Rock Island has exploded!
Over 300,000 years have passed since the last Lord challenge, and Lotus Rock Island is once again facing a challenge for its lordship.
Lotus Rock Island's Lord, "Ningshuang," has accepted Star's challenge. The battle is set for ten days from now.
"Lord Roy, I heard you're challenging the Lotus Rock Lord in ten days. Does that mean we'll become the masters of Lotus Rock Island in ten days?"
Upon returning to the Four Divine Beast Family's stronghold on Lotus Rock Island, Chris eagerly asked Roy.
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, in ten days this place will be the Four Divine Beast Family's base in the Netherworld."
Roy nodded.
As for losing?
Neither Roy nor the members of the Four Divine Beast Family had even considered that possibility.
"That's great."
After receiving Roy's affirmative answer, Chris happily went to share the news with her new friends.
Seeing this, Roy shook his head.
Forget it, she's just a maid anyway...
It is what it is.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is the day of the decisive battle between Roy and the Lotus Rock Lord, "Ningshuang."
As expected, the Blood Battle Stage on Lotus Rock Island was deserted today.
This was because the battles of the Asura Prefects often shattered space, and the Blood Battle Stage could not withstand their combat.
Therefore, to avoid damaging the Blood Battle Stage, Lord challenges were held outside the city.
The battleground for Roy and the Lotus Rock Lord "Ningshuang" was chosen to be the Nine Nether Sea in the easternmost part of Lotus Rock Island.
On this day, Roy led over ten thousand members of the Four Divine Beast Family to the battleground. Upon seeing Roy, the spectators tacitly made space for the Four Divine Beast Family to watch the fight.
Roy then flew to the sky above the Nine Nether Sea, awaiting the arrival of the Lotus Rock Lord.
Roy didn't have to wait long. Less than fifteen minutes later, the Lotus Rock Lord "Ningshuang" arrived with the people of Lotus Rock.
Edgar and Marshall, the two brothers, led the Lord's people to a spot on the side, preparing to watch the battle.
This battle would affect more than just the Lotus Rock Lord.
They were all subordinates of the Lotus Rock Lord. If the Lotus Rock Lord defeated Star, they could continue living on Lotus Rock Island.
If the Lotus Rock Lord lost, they would have to leave Lotus Rock Island with him.
...
"Let's begin,"
After flying to a position parallel to Roy, the Lotus Rock Lord "Ningshuang" spoke directly.
"Alright, please proceed."
Roy didn't stand on ceremony.
Roy challenging the Lotus Rock Lord was essentially an act of "bullying from within." He didn't expect the Lotus Rock Lord to give him any pleasantries, and the Lord's directness suited Roy perfectly.
The strong reigned supreme. The victor took all, and the loser faced either death or exile.
Roy dared not underestimate the Lotus Rock Lord. The moment he attacked, he unleashed a technique that fused the profundities of five laws.
Extending his hand and flipping it towards the Lotus Rock Lord—
"Five Finger Mountain!"
"Boom!"
The space where Ningshuang was located was controlled by immense gravity. Under this powerful gravity, the space itself was pulled into faint wrinkles, within which faint black lines appeared.
What's more, above the Lotus Rock Lord, a colossal phantom mountain shaped like a hand descended from the heavens, shattering layers of space and leaving behind giant spatial rifts as it pressed down on the Lotus Rock Lord.
"Hmph!"
The Lotus Rock Lord let out a cold snort. A slender sword, transparent and ice-blue, appeared in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The Lotus Rock Lord slashed out with his sword. A massive ice-blue sword energy tore through space and struck the base of the Five Finger Mountain.
"Boom!"
A tremendous power erupted, causing Roy's Five Finger Mountain to waver slightly.
At this moment, the Lotus Rock Lord erupted with power.
"Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Seal!"
"Accumulating Frost Cold!"
"Boom boom boom..."
In the Nine Nether Sea, countless waters erupted from the surface, only to be transformed into an ice mountain by the Lotus Rock Lord, shielding himself at the very center.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Crack, crack..."
Roy's Five Finger Mountain phantom clashed with the Lotus Rock Lord's ice mountain, and for a moment, it felt as if heaven and earth had lost their color.
The immense roar blasted a massive void in the space between them, a spatial rift that sucked in the power of their collision into the turbulent flow of space.
Under Roy's Five Finger Mountain, the Lotus Rock Lord's ice mountain couldn't hold on for long before shattering into countless pieces of ice.
However, Roy's Five Finger Mountain phantom had faded considerably, losing more than half its power. It was then cleaved apart by the Lotus Rock Lord.
Following that, the Lotus Rock Lord transformed into a blue silhouette, his long sword unleashing a massive sword energy towards Roy.
Just as Roy was about to counter, he suddenly felt his reaction time slowing down. In his soul space, the Star Bell chimed, "Dong dong dong," jolting him back to his senses.
"Soul attack?"
Roy was startled. If the Star Bell hadn't protected his soul just now, he would have been hit.
When did this Lotus Rock Lord launch a soul attack?
This move was truly insidious. It had no initial strength, merely deceiving his senses. The killing intent was the subsequent cold that would freeze the body, making one unaware of losing control, ultimately freezing both body and soul.
"Ha!"
Upon regaining clarity, Roy unleashed his divine power, shattering the freezing ice that had begun to form on him. He extended his right hand towards the attacking Lotus Rock Lord.
Using "Earth Pulse" as the core, fused with "Earth Travel Technique," "Strength," "Earth Element," and "Gravity Space," the Commander-level technique exploded instantly.
"Void Tremor!"
"Crack, crack..."
The space in front of Roy shattered like glass.
These countless spatial rifts instantly spread to the Lotus Rock Lord, causing his body to be violently torn apart along with the space.
"No!"
Severely injured, the Lotus Rock Lord's face was filled with terror. Disregarding the conservation of divine power, he unleashed a massive surge, instantly regenerating two arms from his neck downwards. Then, he unleashed his fastest speed, attempting to escape the suction of the spatial rift.
Unfortunately, he was right in the center of the spatial rift. Unless one was a Paragon High-God with immense willpower or possessed a defensive Lord God Artifact, no one could escape the rift's pull.
"Save me..."
In despair, the Lotus Rock Lord could only plead with Roy, "Lord Star, I beg you, save me. I am willing to acknowledge you as my master. Please save me..."
"This..."
"Chains of Heaven!"
Hearing the Lotus Rock Lord's plea, Roy waved his hand. Instantly, several chains flew from the air, binding the head of the Lotus Rock Lord, Ningshuang.
Unfortunately, Roy's action was a moment too late. The Lotus Rock Lord's head had already been sucked into the spatial rift.
