Han Wu refused to back down. A portal opened, and an endless swarm of locusts poured out.

Their numbers were so vast that they blotted out the sky.

The Demigod Elephant Lord marveled at the sheer quantity of Han Wu's locusts.

To cultivate so many locusts, Han Wu must have put in a lot of effort and resources.

However, quantity does not equate to strength.

Even with a hundred thousand locusts, they might not be a match for a single Giant Mammoth when both are elite lifeforms.

"Is this all you've got?" the Demigod Elephant Lord sneered.

In his view, the elite lifeform locusts released by Han Wu posed no threat to his Giant Mammoth army.

Han Wu smiled without saying a word.

After the elite lifeforms like the Celestial Demon Insects, Perdition Locusts, and Dark Curse Locusts took flight, the Transcendent lifeform locusts finally appeared.

The Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insects, cultivated from the Insect Nest + Law of Gluttony + Toxic Mist Orb.

The Earth Blast Perdition Locusts, cultivated from the Insect Nest + Law of Gluttony + Earthfire Lava Sphere.

The Shadow Stream Dark Curse Locusts, cultivated from the Insect Nest + Law of Gluttony + Shadow Spike.

The total number of these three types of Transcendent lifeform locusts reached 18,000.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately caught the attention of the entire audience.

"Transcendent lifeforms? They're really Transcendent lifeforms, and in such numbers!"

"Are these still locusts? What kind of evolution and mutation have they undergone to become so powerful!"

"I seriously suspect this Locust Plague kid is from some big family sent out for training. How much resources must it have taken to raise locusts to this level!"

...

Even the Demigod Elephant Lord, seeing this, adjusted his stance and no longer dared to underestimate Han Wu.

The fact that ordinary locusts could be cultivated into Transcendent lifeforms was enough to show the genius of the cultivator.

Han Wu, on the other hand, was thinking that if he had one more day, he could increase the number of Transcendent lifeform locusts tenfold.

What kind of scene would that be?

"Is this your true strength? I'm starting to look forward to it!" the Demigod Elephant Lord said with a hint of excitement.

Han Wu still did not respond.

The preparation time ended, and the competition officially began.

The Elephant Lord immediately issued a divine decree, commanding the hero lifeform: Giant Thunder Mammoth to unleash its skill.

Level 3 skill: Intermediate Thunder Breath.

Endless arcs of electricity spewed from the Giant Thunder Mammoth's long trunk, crashing into the incoming swarm.

With a series of crackling sounds, a large number of locusts were killed by the electric arcs.

Han Wu refused to be outdone and ordered the Dark Curse Locusts to attack.

Level 2 skill: Basic Shadow Spike.

One by one, shadow spikes composed entirely of dark elements pierced into the shadow of the Giant Thunder Mammoth.

Each Dark Curse Locust was weak, and the shadow spikes they released could not immobilize the target.

But when the number of shadow spikes reached tens of thousands, the Giant Thunder Mammoth's movements became significantly sluggish.

When the number of shadow spikes exceeded a million, the Giant Thunder Mammoth was like a statue, frozen in place.

It was ultimately immobilized by the shadow spikes!

Han Wu quickly gave the order for the Transcendent lifeform: Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insects to attack.

The Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insects flapped their wings, raising their unicorn horns to stab at the Giant Thunder Mammoth.

The Giant Thunder Mammoth's hide was thick and tough, and even the Transcendent lifeform Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insects could only pierce it a finger's depth with all their might.

This depth was no more than a scratch to the Giant Thunder Mammoth.

The Demigod Elephant Lord laughed wildly: "Even if you can raise locusts to Transcendent lifeforms, so what? My Giant Thunder Mammoth can stand still, and you still can't harm it."

Hearing this, Han Wu finally responded, "Are you sure?"

As he spoke, the Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insect exploded, releasing a large cloud of toxic mist that enveloped the area.

Even the unicorn horn, driven by the explosion, pierced deeper.

The toxin was successfully injected into the Giant Thunder Mammoth's body.

A single Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insect contained limited toxin, insufficient to poison the massive Giant Thunder Mammoth.

But Han Wu had a total of 6,000 Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insects.

If one wasn't enough, then two, if two weren't enough, then four...

As long as the Giant Thunder Mammoth couldn't break free from the immobilizing shadow spikes, it would face continuous attacks from the Toxic Blast Celestial Demon Insects.

The Elephant Lord guessed Han Wu's plan and immediately issued a divine decree, ordering the Giant Mammoth army to thwart Han Wu's plan and rescue the Giant Thunder Mammoth.

Han Wu countered by commanding a large number of locusts to attack the Giant Mammoth army.

The elite lifeform Giant Mammoths were easier to deal with than the hero lifeform Giant Thunder Mammoth.

Amidst the explosions, the Giant Mammoth army suffered casualties.

The Elephant Lord watched this scene with a heavy heart.

He thought he had already overestimated Han Wu, but he still underestimated him.

Although it was somewhat inappropriate to use demigod power against a divine creature, the Elephant Lord couldn't stand by and watch his kin get severely injured.

He channeled the divine power within him and cast divine spells.

Savage Divine Spell: Thick Armor.

Savage Divine Spell: Blood Vitality.

Savage Divine Spell: Healing.

After casting three divine spells in succession, the Elephant Lord consumed most of his divine power.

But the results were evident.

The injured Giant Mammoths were nourished by the divine spells, their wounds healing rapidly, and a thick blood vitality shell formed on their surface.

The locusts' self-detonation only managed to thin the blood vitality shell, unable to harm the Giant Mammoths.

On the contrary, the Giant Mammoths could easily crush large numbers of locusts with a casual swing of their long trunks.

Even when the locusts flew high to escape the range of the Giant Mammoths' trunks, the Giant Mammoths could inhale with their trunks, pulling a few locusts in and crushing them.

Han Wu's situation became very unfavorable.

"Being able to force me to use divine spells already proves your strength. Once I've killed half of your kin, I'll allow you to surrender," the Elephant Lord, holding the advantage, had no intention of annihilating Han Wu.

A genius capable of raising ordinary locusts to such a level would not stop at divine creatures.

The Elephant Lord wanted to leave a good impression before Han Wu rose to prominence.

But in Han Wu's dictionary, there was no word for surrender.

Moreover, he hadn't used all his strength yet.

"By my command, Bull Demon Race, deploy!" Han Wu suddenly issued a divine decree, and a portal opened behind him.

The Bull Demon Race from the Divine Realm received the divine decree and marched into the arena with great vigor.

At the forefront, the hero lifeform: Bull Demon Shaman let out a furious roar.

The accompanying Bull Demons followed suit.

A total of 2,604 Bull Demons charged valiantly into the opposing 740,000 Giant Mammoth army.

The sudden turn of events left the Elephant Lord stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.

The opponent actually had Bull Demons in reserve!

These were extremely formidable creatures from the Abyss, willing to follow the opponent's orders.

It was truly shocking.

But Han Wu's attack wasn't over.

He focused on the direction of the Bull Demons' assault, and soon a Giant Mammoth fell under the Bull Demon Shaman's totem.

Han Wu immediately issued another divine decree: "Skeleton Race, attack!"

Behind him, the portal opened once more.

190 Skeleton Knights carried a large bone palanquin out of the portal.

The Skeleton Lord sat on the palanquin's seat, its comical stature exuding an imposing presence, like a child playing with a big gun.

Beside the Skeleton Lord stood two hero lifeforms: Bone Manipulator and Bone Reviver.

They resembled two servants, ready to serve the Skeleton Lord at any moment.

The scene left the audience in awe.

Someone exclaimed in disbelief, "I think I saw the famous hero lifeform of the Skeleton Race: Bone Manipulator. This must be an illusion. Can someone wake me up?"

"Brother, I also think I'm seeing things. Let's slap each other and see if we can break the illusion."

"Damn it, refund. How can we play like this? The demigod only has one hero lifeform, but a divine creature summoned three hero lifeforms and a suspected lord lifeform. Is this reasonable? The Blood Arena's management needs to explain!"

"It's a conspiracy, definitely a conspiracy. I get it now, this whole charade is to scam our money. The Blood Arena lacks divine virtue, I advise you to act wisely!"

...

Han Wu never imagined that summoning the Skeleton Race would turn the audience's ire towards the Blood Arena.

But how the audience reacted was none of his concern.

His current goal was to defeat the opponent with as few trump cards as possible.

"Bone Reviver, it's up to you." Han Wu jumped onto the palanquin, lifted the small skeleton from the seat, and sat down himself.

The Skeleton Lord, in its childlike form, was furious at Han Wu for taking its throne but was helpless.

After all, Han Wu was the god who provided for it.

The hero lifeform: Bone Reviver received the order, first bowing respectfully to the god Han Wu, then leaping into the air, floating above the Giant Mammoth army with the locusts' support.

It cast a mass resurrection ability on the dead Giant Mammoths below.

Instantly, from the corpses of the Giant Mammoths, a Skeleton Mammoth rose, free from the constraints of flesh.

Without flesh, it lost its flexible trunk, but its tusks became even sharper.

The transformed Skeleton Mammoth immediately swung its tusks at its former companions.

Before long, another Giant Mammoth fell.
