Chapter 1163

Originally, a Holy Lord could not break through Naseli's defense no matter how hard he tried. Now, he had sent Nasri flying with just one blow. Even Gu Ding could not believe the difference between them.

After all, Naseli had said before that without an attack that was ten times stronger than her strongest attack, it was impossible to break through her defense. She was probably not bragging.

Gu Ding was a little surprised by the effect of his blow. He knew that his combat effectiveness would skyrocket after he became a Holy King, but he was not sure how much his combat effectiveness would skyrocket.

However, after Nasry activated the Boundary of the Blood Moon, other than the blood-red protective layer, her own defensive power was also much stronger than other Saint King Level powerhouses.

Although she was sent flying by Gu Ding's finger force, the attack was weakened by the Blood Moon Boundary's absolute defense. For her, it only caused a slight shock to her body and did not cause any substantial damage.

However, what Naseli did not know was that Gu Ding did not use his full strength in that finger attack. He was just testing how strong his attack power was after becoming a Holy King.

Naseli climbed out of the hole. She looked a little disheveled. She rose into the air again and looked at Gu Ding from afar. This time, there was finally fear in her eyes.

"I have to admit that after you became a Holy King, your strength has reached a terrifying level."

"I've already broken through your absolute defense. There's not much point in continuing to fight." Gu Ding only wanted to pass the stage. He did not want to do anything to his opponent, so he tried to dissuade her.

"If you can take my last blow, I'll admit defeat immediately." Naseli was still unwilling to give up. As a Holy King powerhouse, she did not believe that she would be crushed.

"Alright!" Gu Ding agreed readily.

Naseli adjusted herself slightly and soon closed her eyes. She threw the scimitar in her hand high up in the air, then began to quickly form hand seals with both hands. At the same time, she was chanting something.

The strange syllables that came out of her mouth did not seem to be any language, but a strange rhythm.

Under the effect of the hand seals, the rhythm turned into crimson sigils, rose into the air, and sank into the scimitar.

The scimitar stopped descending and hovered in midair, its blade like a blood moon hanging in the air.

Gu Ding could vaguely sense that Naseli's machete was emitting a strange aura. The power did not seem to come from Naseli herself, but from somewhere else.

Naseli's series of actions seemed to take a long time, but they were actually completed in an instant.

After completing the hand seal, the incantation in her mouth was also completed. She opened her eyes, and at this moment, her pupils had become pitch-black.

In the void, other than the blade, the other parts of the machete seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the crescent-shaped blade hanging in the void. It released a blood-red brilliance towards the entire land, as if it had become a real blood moon.

"Tears of the Blood Moon!"

Naseri let out a low murmur.

Then, black blood stains appeared on the blood moon, as if it had been dyed with black blood.

Gu Ding looked up at the blood moon that had become abnormal, but with just one look, he felt the world spin around him. The next moment, he found himself in a blood-red space.

Gu Ding did not panic when he was suddenly pulled into such a space. Instead, he looked around, trying to find a way to escape.

It was a sealed space. The walls, ceiling, and floor were all blood-red, so red that it was glaring.

"Is this an illusion, or a space-type divine power?" Gu Ding was not sure what he had encountered at that moment.

However, he soon discovered that a corner of the sealed space was dyed black. It felt like when he used to live on Cerule, and a leak from the kitchen upstairs had seeped into his house's kitchen. Gu Ding could not help but frown. He could feel that the blackness was corrosive, but strangely, his body did not feel much threat.

Even so, Gu Ding remained vigilant and stared at the changes in the entire sealed space.

The blackness that looked like a water stain began to quickly invade the entire blood-red space. Soon, all four walls were completely invaded. Then, the ceiling began to slowly change color, and finally, the floor began to be corroded.

Gu Ding immediately wanted to use his divine power to shatter it, but he soon discovered that whether it was the Extreme King Finger, Super Shadowing Palm, or the divine powers of the Wargod Palace, none of them could be used in this space.

"Even Lord-level divine powers can't be used. This must be a rule restriction …" Gu Ding frowned slightly.

At that moment, a smear of blackness had already climbed up one of his ankles.

When he noticed the abnormality in his ankle, Gu Ding finally knew what kind of attack this blackness was. After his ankle was wrapped in black, it became numb as if it had been petrified. His skin, muscles, bones, and even every nerve seemed to have lost feeling.

Gu Ding instantly understood that this blackness had the similar effect of petrifying people.

"This divine power is indeed strange. Now that there's no other way, I'll try the inherited divine power I just obtained from the King's Holy Crown and see if it can help me get out of this crisis."

Destiny Overlord Punch!

Gu Ding clenched one hand into a fist. Under the flow of one hundred and eighty sigils, a wave of purple gas rippled out from the center of his palm. Then, as if triggering a change in heaven and earth, the entire blood-red space shook. After that, a strange scene happened. The blackness that had been tainted in the blood-red space began to turn into a black mist and gathered around Gu Ding's fist. The blackness in the entire blood-red space began to fade away and slowly returned to its original blood-red color.

The black shadow that had wrapped around Gu Ding's left foot also quickly turned into mist. His left foot also regained its original feeling as if nothing had happened.

Even Gu Ding was a little surprised to see this scene.

However, soon, the blackness in the entire space was completely sucked out and completely wrapped around Gu Ding's fist like a thick fog. However, it did not cause any damage to Gu Ding.

Gu Ding cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and punched one of the walls of the blood-red space.

With just one punch, the blood-red wall was blasted into a layer of cracks that looked like a spider web. The cracks quickly spread in all directions.

Before Gu Ding could punch a second time, the entire blood-red space completely collapsed, and Gu Ding returned to the space where he had originally been. He looked down at his fist and saw that the black mist had automatically dissipated.

"You … How is that possible?!" Naseri saw Gu Ding's sudden appearance, and her face was full of shock. "You … How did you get out?!"

"I broke the wall and naturally came out," Gu Ding said matter-of-factly.

Naseri wanted to ask more, but she heard the scimitar that had turned into a blood moon above her head vibrate and then fall from the void. The blood-red light on the blade dimmed to an extreme.

"If I'm not mistaken, that weapon of yours is a Devil Weapon. The divine power you used just now seemed to have borrowed the power of this Devil Weapon. However, a Devil Weapon is a Devil Weapon after all. With your strength, even if you don't have a weapon, there are few who can match you. It's best not to use this Devil Weapon if you can. " After a few battles, Gu Ding also confirmed that the scimitar in Naseri's hand was actually a Devil Weapon.

Devil Weapons had the ability to bewitch people. There were even many Devil Weapons that caused trouble and directly caused the death of the user.

"The Crescent Fang is indeed a Devil Weapon, but it's different from ordinary Devil Weapons. It's a Devil Weapon that was born with me. It was born with me from my mother's womb when I was born, "Naseri explained.

However, Naseri did not seem to want to explain too much about this matter. She only said that one sentence and changed the topic. "Since you've broken through my strongest move, I have no other way to fight you. I admit defeat in this battle! "

After saying that, Nasri reached into her chest and took out a black token from within.

"This is the clearance token you wanted!"

Gu Ding grabbed the token with one hand. At that moment, the guards seemed to be affected by the token as they stopped attacking Biggie and the others.

A female notification sounded in the void.

"Gu Ding and the team led by him have successfully passed the third stage of the assessment!"

"Thank you!" Gu Ding nodded at Naseri.

The next moment, Gu Ding and the others were transported to the palace where they had completed the second stage of the assessment.

Both Faust and Dockett immediately sat down cross-legged.

The continuous battle that had lasted for almost an entire day was exhausting, but at the same time, they had gained a lot. The ones who gained the most were probably the two Holy Disciples, Faust and Dockett.

The guards they had encountered earlier were all Saint Level powerhouses with similar combat effectiveness as the two of them. In order not to drag the team down, the two of them had given it their all.

After a whole day of fighting like this, the two of them had gained a lot of enlightenment.

Gu Ding gestured for the others to keep quiet. Everyone nodded and retreated to the side.

"There's a high chance that these two kids will break through to Holy Lord level this time. They've already accumulated enough and were just short of an opportunity to break through. The continuous high-intensity battle this time has put a lot of pressure on the two of them, but it has also given them a lot of enlightenment, "Neptune whispered to the others.

"I was thinking about whether to let the two of them continue to participate in the next stage since the assessment is getting more and more difficult. Now it seems that my consideration was unnecessary, "Gu Ding said with a smile.

Five days later, Dockett was the first to break through to Holy Lord level. Under Neptune's guidance, he continued to sit cross-legged and consolidate his strength.

On the seventh day, Faust also finally broke through to Holy Lord level. He also used the last few days to consolidate his combat effectiveness.

The assessment period of ten days passed in a flash.

Inside the palace, teams were sent out one by one.

Out of the six teams that had originally participated in the third stage, five teams had actually passed. However, other than Gu Ding's team, all the other teams looked unusually disheveled.

The only team that had lost the qualification to advance was the team led by the Gorgeous Beauty.

She was unlucky that the castellan she encountered was immune to soul attacks. All soul attacks could not be used in the entire city, and she could not use any of her charm techniques.

After all the people who had passed the stage had arrived, the prompt sounded again in the void.

"The third stage of the assessment must have exhausted everyone. Everyone can rest here for three days to adjust to their best condition. After three days, I will start the fourth stage of the assessment!

"Let me first remind you that there are currently five teams that have passed the stage. There are a total of thirty-seven people in the main quota and subsidiary quota, but only five people can pass the fourth stage of the assessment. As for the specific rules, I will explain them in detail in three days. Everyone, rest well! "

Gu Ding and the others could vaguely hear a snicker after the prompt finished. The prompt seemed to have deliberately stated the rules to increase the psychological pressure on everyone.
