The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Old Lu’s fist turned metallic gold as he descended on the Peak Tier 10 monster and landed a powerful punch that pushed the brute far from the battlefield.

It was a powerful punch, packing some serious blood energy

“Get some healing; I will take it from here,” he turned and said to General Dane, who was hurt in multiple places, before moving toward the brute elephant.

General Dane nodded and moved toward General Manas to heal him.

He had been holding back the elephant while Old Lu underwent the transformation, causing him to sustain some serious injuries.

A Transcendent fighting a powerful Peak Tier 10 beast like the Brute Elephant isn’t something that can be casually mentioned.

“Heaven-Splitting Punch!”

Old Lu’s voice boomed as he jumped high into the air, creating a powerful shockwave. He punched forward with the first form of the Golden Vajra Fist still active.

The punch indeed shattered the ground, pushing back the brute elephant further.

The Blood Monk Transformation is a technique the monks frown upon due to the nature of its activation.

Naturally, it was considered the last resort for all monks.

After all monks had completed their training, it was taught to them. It involves activating it with one’s own blood.

However, Old Lu has mastered a different way of activating it: by using the blood of a powerful monster. He tried with a Peak Tier 9, but it didn’t work.

That was when he knew Tier 10 and above could work. But he understands that for the skill to work, the blood must come from a monster or beast that has just lost its life.

So the moment Kathy killed the first Tier 10 monster, he went for it, and luckily for him, it worked. Now, he had activated the first form, which is the [Golden Vajra Fist], turning his right arm metallic gold.

Basically, his fist became indestructible.

But that isn’t all.

The moment he activated that skill, he received a skill called “Heaven-Splitting Punch.”

This was why the monks taught this to their members. It was their last resort, since using their own blood would burn away their life force.

If it runs out while using it, then you will die. But now, Old Lu isn’t using his blood; he is using the monster’s blood, so he jumped high into the air for the third time and descended, landing yet another punch.

The Brute Elephant raised an earth defense, but his fist smashed through, landing on the body of the same.

This incited a painful grunt from the Elephant.

“Die, human!” The elephant’s body glowed, activating an enhancement skill that made it much tougher and larger.

Old Lu smirked and formed a hand seal.

“Blood Monk Transformation,” he muttered.

“Second Form: Titanic Vajra Palm.” He formed a hand seal, causing a 5-meter-wide golden metallic palm to appear in the air.

He looked at the elephant and punched his still-golden palm forward.

“Heavenly Vajra Palm Descent!”

The giant palm in the air descended and landed on the giant elephant, creating a huge crater in the ground. The elephant was forced down with its body sustaining multiple injuries.

Though the palm could have turned most monsters and beasts into a splat, this one only sustained multiple injuries. But the injuries are severe.

Old Lu didn’t wait for it to get back up. He instead raised his palm again and landed yet another Heavenly Vajra Palm Descent.

This gave him the leeway to relax a bit and go for the kill when he caught his breath.

The fact that he was using the blood of another monster didn’t mean his stamina wasn’t being affected. He was indeed feeling the strain, and the pain it was having on him was just too much.

So he went for the kill.

“Blood Monk Transformation,” he commanded again.

“Third Form,” he spat a mouthful of blood, “Blood Monarch Spear.”

He formed yet another hand seal, commanding a giant blood spear to appear in the air and point menacingly at the Brute Elephant.

The moment the spear appeared, the elephant knew its death was coming, so it started to retreat. However, the moment it moved back and was about to run off, a giant axe landed on its side, sending it flying back.

Uncle Xian intervened.

Old Lu didn’t waste the chance and pointed his finger at the elephant.

“Spear of Annihilation!”

He sent the spear flying. It was a big red spear with a sharp, pointed tip that could pierce anything.

However, just when the spear was a meter away, something colossal appeared and blocked it. This created a powerful shockwave and dust that immediately blocked his sight.

Old Lu was taken aback but quickly flew to the side as a flaming attack moved past him and exploded behind him.

When the attack came, he saw that a new presence had arrived. This forced him to look far into the distance.

That was when he saw the battle had just turned dire.

“Disciple Lucy, we have incoming,” he said before charging at the Stone Lava Lion, one of the seven powerhouses in the Badlands.

Naturally, over 700 stone Lave lions, each radiating molten lava, could be seen speeding toward them in the distance.

Old Lu was now forced to handle the two Peak Tier 10s, considering Kathy had only killed three Tier 10s and Miriam had killed two.

Lucy rose and looked into the distance, squinting her eyes at the approaching horde of lava lions.

“Everyone should get ready for more incoming.” Her voice reached everyone.

“Kathy, activate your ultimate form. Goddess Miriam, you should do the same. You all should get your trump cards ready.”

Her command was not to be ignored.

The horde coming meant only one thing: they all had to do more than they were doing now. They had to activate their trump cards.

Activating secret techniques and ultimate weapons would be required of those who had them.

Kathy transformed into her giant metallic golden bird form, creating a large shadow on the ground.

Miriam also raised her sword, and the golden gem embedded in the tiara-like crown on her forehead activated.

This was her getting ready for battle. The lava lions were closing in fast.

Suddenly, a figure flew overhead and started speeding toward the incoming lions.

“Everyone, I will buy you ten minutes; better make it count.” Uncle Mark flew away and landed 4 kilometers away from everyone.

“Giant Colossal Shield Descent.”

His voice boomed as the sky flashed, and the surface of a shield appeared, bringing with it a powerful energy that immediately pressed down on the lions.

It covered them in all aspects, with only a handful slipping past his containment.

“Space Lock,” his voice boomed again as he formed a hand seal, locking the space, containing the monsters for the next ten minutes.
