Han Wu brought Qin Shuang together as they rose into the sky. They traveled for 1,000 kiloters before she finally managed to sense the Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow’s aura. She glanced at Han Wu and worried that he would be unable to capture it.
Han Wu smiled and offered no explanation. He approached the Thunder Sparrow and released his Divine Authority to announce his presence.
The Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow had been enjoying the nearby Thunder Sparrows’ worship, so Han Wu’s arrival irritated it. It launched itself toward him and unfurled its Lightning Domain. The thunderclouds overhead rged into that domain, and thousands of lightning bolts rained down in unison, each one locked onto a single target: Han Wu.
Qin Shuang feared the barrage would injure him, but she was surprised to see him float in the air without a scratch. The lightning bolts condensed in his palm while the Lightning Energy brightened and dimd from ti to ti.
The Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow noticed the condensed energy in Han Wu’s hands and was horrified. It quickly attacked by releasing more lightning. All of its attacks landed, but Han Wu wasn’t hard at all. In fact, the Lightning Energy continued to gather in his palm and change from ti to ti.
The Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow was intelligent enough to know what was happening and panicked. It had never t a foe immune to its lightning. It tried to fly away, but Han Wu was faster. He turned the energy in his palm into a sprout and carefully placed it on the Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow’s back.
The sprout quickly grew into a 10,000-ter-tall tree that pinned the Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow and clamped its wings with roots and vines. It tried to blast the tree with lightning, but the tree was a Fulgurwood, so it absorbed every strike without harm.
The Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow realized it had lost and started pleading beneath the tree.
Han Wu landed and spoke in a hard voice. “Surrender or die.”
The Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow wanted to live and refused to cast aside its pride, yet fear rose when Han Wu gathered Death Energy gathered to his finger and pointed at it. It abandoned its stance and chose to surrender.
Han Wu called Qin Shuang over to sign a Spiritual Blood Contract with it. She would gain permanent authority over it, and it would have to follow her orders.
The Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow balked at such a one-sided contract, but Han Wu condensed the Death Energy at his fingertips again. Once it reluctantly accepted the contract, he placed the Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow in Qin Shuang’s divine realm.
Qin Shuang felt delighted to gain an Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow, though she also wondered what Han Wu had done to subdue it.
Han Wu chuckled. “This is the base form of my Divine Jurisdiction, called Conversion. I can turn any type of energy into energy that I control before releasing it.”
Qin Shuang’s eyes lit up. “Does that an you are invincible right now?”
She understood that many powerful Skills relied on massive amounts of energy. If Han Wu could absorb, convert, and release that energy as his own, those Skills would be useless against him. The result bordered on invincible!
Han Wu shook his head. “My Divine Jurisdiction isn’t that strong yet. There’s a limit to the conversion. Also, so Skills are purely physical, and I can’t absorb those at all.”
Qin Shuang nodded. Even though his Divine Jurisdiction had only just ford, its strength already seed outrageous. She could already envision what would happen if soone tried to overwhelm him with sheer energy.
They had stayed in the Fulgur Oldwood for nearly four years. Qin Shuang had captured enough Thunder Sparrows and even secured an Earthsunder Thunder Sparrow, which exceeded their expectations.
Han Wu had also obtained the initial form of his Divine Jurisdiction and the Fulgurwood Binding. Their ti there had been a bountiful harvest, and they returned to the Divine Civilization in high spirits.
Han Wu was about to go sowhere else but stopped with a frown. A huge pool of blood was pouring out from the Blood Coliseum in his divine realm, and the units inside evacuated at once. They relayed their report to him through prayer.
Han Wu inspected the Blood Coliseum and watched the rising flood of blood gather in it. The mont it recognized him as the inheritor, the blood dissipated swiftly and left only a string of ssages.
The Blood Coliseum had gathered 500 candidates. It was ti for the inheritance ceremony to start, and all the candidates had to return within three days. Anyone who arrived late or failed to appear would face punishnt for breaking the rules.
For their punishnt, the Blood Coliseum in their divine realm would spawn Sanguine Combatants in a number ten tis greater than the life forms living there to slaughter them.
Han Wu grew serious. When he first beca a candidate, there were only 350 of them. Little ti had passed, yet the number had already risen to 500.
“Sanguine Combatants... The Blood Coliseum has really gone crazy this ti,” he muttered.
Sanguine Combatants were Unique life forms from birth and natural fighters. One’s divine realm would stand no chance if the Blood Coliseum suddenly spawned Sanguine Combatants ten tis a candidate’s units.
Even Han Wu didn’t dare to break that rule because his units achieved victory through numbers. If there were ten tis more Sanguine Combatants, he’d have to battle at least 1 trillion of them.
He couldn’t take them on, and he was also looking forward to the ceremony. With his current strength, he had a chance to beco the Blood Coliseum’s inheritor.
Han Wu explained the situation to Qin Shuang before transporting himself to the Blood Coliseum through the Permanent Coordinates.
Due to the ceremony, all matches were canceled. However, many spectators still arrived since they wanted to witness the rise of the new inheritor.
When Han Wu returned to the Blood Coliseum, his na appeared on the screen. Everyone was excited when they noticed Locust Plague.
Han Wu quickly checked his adversaries. The list included two Major Gods, eighteen Gods, 210 Demigods, and 270 Divine Beings. None of the 500 candidates had relinquished their candidacy because the Sanguine Combatants would destroy their divine realm. They couldn’t accept losses of that scale.
