From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 837 - 491: The Altar’s Secret Revealed (Part 2)
Klidor’s eyes widened, contemplating countless possibilities in his mind.
Just as Lu Heng was about to use his skill to question him, he opted for a blood explosion, spraying his toxin-laden blood towards Lu Heng.
Lu Heng raised his hand and gently blocked, the blood splattering on the Divine Origin Battle Armor, corroding its energy layer into puffs of dense smoke.
"Died so crisply."
Lu Heng wiped the blood off the Energy Armor, stowed away the Rune Treasure Book, then took out the Communication Treasure Pearl to contact Lawrence Phoenix: "Target has been dealt with."
Lawrence Phoenix then asked, "Did he discover my identity?"
Lu Heng replied, "Not sure, I stabbed him with a sword, and he chose to self-destruct. He probably wanted to keep some secret."
After the communication ended, Lu Heng put away the Communication Treasure Pearl and continued searching through the Blood Sacrifice Tower for any possessed records.
The Blood Sacrifice Tower was managed by the Great Wizard of the Bloodline Clan, so it housed many ancient books and treasure tomes related to witchcraft.
Lu Heng searched for useful ones to learn as much as possible about the secrets of the Bloodline Clan.
Among them, he also found records of the ritual for ascending to demigod.
The most crucial factor for becoming a demigod is obtaining demigod materials.
Earlier, he had extracted an important piece of information from Tiness: the key material for Moznis to ascend to demigod is the Demon God’s Blood.
This is the blood left by the first generation Demon God of the Bloodline Clan, the key material for their ascension to demigod.
According to the records on the parchment scroll, only the Bloodline Clan can use the Demon God’s Blood. Other species that use it will be polluted by it, causing their blood to rot, leading to death.
Even if they miraculously survive, they will be transformed into bloodlines by the Demon God’s Blood.
Regarding the methods for ascending to demigod, Lu Heng had heard about some before his rebirth.
The materials needed for demigod advancement are not the same for everyone. Depending on the species, class, and attributes, the requirement for demigod materials differs.
Of course, the rarity of demigod materials makes it impossible to choose freely.
Therefore, most aspirants, upon obtaining demigod materials, will actively adapt to the materials to ascend.
That’s right, actively adapt to the demigod materials.
Since demigod materials are so hard to obtain, the fortunate ones who get them are unlikely to pass up the chance to become a demigod.
Thus, if the obtained demigod material is unsuitable for personal use, most aspirants will find a way to adapt to the material.
For example, the demigod material obtained is the Demon God’s Blood.
And if the Demon God’s Blood is unsuitable for use by any species other than the Bloodline Clan, what then?
The solution is simple: just convert yourself into a bloodline.
That’s right, as long as you convert to a bloodline, you can adapt to the Demon God’s Blood and gain the chance to ascend to demigod.
However, conversion to a bloodline is irreversible. Although this method can indeed lead to becoming a demigod, one becomes a demigod bloodline, belonging to the abyss side as a demigod lifeform.
Even demigods cannot resist the control of the Abyss.
Just like the Bone Sovereign, who, after accepting the power given by the Abyss, became its minion, the only difference from other Abyss creatures being a higher rank.
After reading the introduction about the Demon God’s Blood, Lu Heng closed this parchment scroll and sighed slightly.
The beliefs he had held onto for so long could not be abandoned at this point.
No matter what, Lu Heng could not convert to a bloodline, meaning he could not directly use the Demon God’s Blood.
...
Half an hour later.
Lawrence Phoenix, leading a squad of bloodline demon guards, arrived at the Blood Sacrifice Tower and saw the blood splattered everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Lawrence Phoenix let out a sigh of relief.
This splattered blood was a typical sign of the Bloodline Clan initiating a blood explosion.
This self-destructive method splatters blood filled with toxins, a way for the Bloodline Clan to drag their opponents down with them.
Of course, this level of blood splatter posed no threat to Lu Heng.
Lawrence Phoenix was relieved because Klidor chose to self-destruct without revealing his secret.
As a Great Wizard of the Bloodline Clan, Klidor knew too many secrets.
Bloodlines of this rank, knowing they couldn’t escape, often chose to self-destruct.
Lawrence Phoenix wasn’t sure what secret Klidor wanted to hide; it could have been other Bloodline Clan secrets or his own.
That’s right, after some serious thought, he suspected Klidor intentionally helped him hide the secret of the altar.
The reason is simple: the altar’s secret was a rivalry between him and Moznis. No matter who won, in the end, the Bloodline Clan won.
If this secret were discovered by human recruiters, the fisherman would profit in the struggle.
Therefore, Klidor hiding the secret of the altar was an act of resisting human recruiters to protect the interests of the Bloodline Clan.
...
As night fell.
Time entered the longest night in Valendar Cave.
This night, Lawrence Phoenix kept watch outside the Demigod Altar, not daring to lose focus for even a second.
This was his last chance to turn the tables, and he couldn’t afford any mistakes.
...
To human recruiters, this night was also long.
Because tomorrow marked the time for Moznis’s ascension ceremony, as well as the time for the final battle.
In the past half-month, the surviving recruiter teams had been using Lu Heng’s guerrilla tactics to fight the bloodline demons.
Lu Heng, following the sixteen-word tactical mantra of guerrilla warfare, commanded the recruiters to attack bloodline demon teams.
Consistently maintaining the strategy of "advancing when the enemy retreats," in this half-month, the recruiters achieved zero casualties while plenty of victories.
In half a month.
Lu Heng attacked twelve bloodline demon teams transporting ascension materials, among which were quite a few high-rank bloodlines.
This allowed Lu Heng’s team of four to average a level of 54.
After killing the Bloodline Clan’s Great Wizard Klidor, Lu Heng absorbed a large amount of level energy, instantly reaching level 55.
All recruiters began preparing for tomorrow’s decisive battle.
Lu Heng also checked various skills, attributes, and the remaining supplies and ammunition.

This set of attributes makes him the absolute number one in combat power among humans.
However, in the world of bloodline demons, he’s not yet invincible.
Lu Heng had observed Moznis’s battles, clearly aware of how terrifying the combat power of this bloodline prince was.
After all, it’s a bloodline prince close to a demigod. Though not having ascended yet, its strength is beyond what ordinary superpower users can contend with.
