Within the scope of the blood-colored circular pattern, there is imposing majesty, the whip of the strong, and the wailing of the weak.

This is exactly the domain skill of Emperor Gustav as a lord: Blood Ring Command!

It should be noted that the "Allied Attribute Amplification" here can include Gustav himself! It's just that it will consume additional Fighting Qi energy.

The effect is quite astonishing, because Gustav already belongs to the stamina specialization type of lord, with attributes that are quite strong whether in Power or Agility.

With Blood Ring Command, Gustav's Power can soar to 99 points, with Agility rising to 66 points.

What's truly terrifying is the Endurance, which can climb to 143 points!

As a Level 6 endurance specialization type lord, Gustav's Life Value conversion ratio is as high as 40, combined with 143 points of Endurance, which totals to 5720 points of Life Value.

Moreover, there is also the skill [Majesty of the Great Emperor] based on the World Waymark, increasing 2000 points of Life, bringing Gustav's Life Value to a staggering 7720 high.

Not to mention there's a fixed damage reduction of 20 points, although the reduction for continuous damage is only 33%, which is about 6.6 fixed damage reduction, but Bai Pu's strongest weapon against bosses—the Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting, has already been greatly weakened in its effect.

The Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting ignores defense and can cause 9 points of life draining toxic damage per second, but Bai Pu is well aware that he cannot compete with the lord in terms of priority, at the very least, his priority is one level lower than the opponent's.

Not to mention, within the domain of Blood Ring Command, all enemy attributes must be reduced!

Without effective countermeasures, Bai Pu's Power would be reduced by 9 points, Agility reduced by 6 points, Endurance reduced by 13 points, Spirit reduced by 4 points...

Bai Pu squinted his eyes and simultaneously activated [Blood River Territory]!

The mighty phantom of the Blood River surged and flowed.

Immediately, the phantom of the Blood River and the illusion of the Blood Ring collided with a roar!

[Detected similar skill: Blood Ring Domination Domain. Your professional skill: Blood River Territory is undergoing priority confrontation.]

[The overall priority of the Blood River Territory is 8 points, and the overall priority of the Blood Ring Domination Domain is 10 points.]

[The confrontation result is as follows: In the overlapping range of the two, the Blood River Territory's effect is reduced by 50% (double judgment), Blood Ring Domination Domain's effect is reduced by 25%.]

Bai Pu frowned. The lord truly lives up to the name; even after Bai Pu's second career change to become an Enhanced Hero, he is still crushed in the priority confrontation!

Moreover, judging by Emperor Gustav's [Blood Ring Command] domain, its diameter is more than twice that of Bai Pu's Blood River Territory, covering a battlefield of several hundred meters around!

Bai Pu realized that his [Blood River Territory] should be the embryonic form of a domain skill. Encountering a legitimate lord's domain skill, it's inevitable to be suppressed.

However, this scene, in the eyes of other awakened on the field, was extremely shocking!

"No way! How can an Awakened have a domain?"

"It should be the embryonic form of a domain skill! This means his template has already approached the Lord Template, and it's considered very strong among Enhanced Heroes."

"How is it possible, can the embryonic form of a domain skill really contend with a legitimate lord's domain?! The level is even one lower!"

Under the confrontation between the phantom of the Blood River and the illusion of the Blood Ring, Bai Pu's Power still decreased by 7 points, Agility decreased by 5 points, and Endurance and Spirit also decreased to varying degrees.

Of course, the benefits for Emperor Gustav himself would also be synchronously reduced. He would also be drained of Life Force by the Blood River Territory to form dark attribute damage, and he had to bear a 21-point slow effect.

Bai Pu also felt his Blood River Fighting Qi consumption increasing, from a maximum of 2 points per second to 3 points per second now!

"So this is a lord... truly powerful."

Bai Pu could only narrow the range of the Blood River Territory to reduce the consumption of Blood River Fighting Qi while striding forward to engage in close combat with Emperor Gustav!

With a buzzing sound, Emperor Gustav, holding a golden-forged heavy shield in his left hand, slammed it onto the ground heavily.

At the same time, his right hand held a broadsword pointing diagonally at the ground, facing Bai Pu in a strict stance!

He did not choose to take the initiative to attack, because he also felt the threat from Bai Pu.

Under the overwhelming phantom flow of the Blood River, he felt a heavy pressure, as if he was ensnared in mud, his speed much slower than usual.

Both held shields, but Gustav's broadsword was a single-handed weapon, whereas Bai Pu's right hand wielded a chainsaw greatsword, with a menacing appearance as a two-handed weapon!

So, from the view of the scene, it was instead Bai Pu who appeared more ferocious.

Clang!

A dull sound, as Bai Pu's chainsaw greatsword slashed out.

Gustav's golden heavy shield was raised to block.

Bai Pu's expression changed slightly; he felt from Gustav's golden heavy shield a deep-sea-like soft strength! Bai Pu's strike landed on the shield as if slicing into a mass of cotton, without any rebounding force!

This meant Bai Pu could not rely on the rebounding force to quickly deliver a second strike, and the Wind-Seeking Effect could not come into play; he could only forcefully pull back the greatsword.

As Bai Pu withdrew the greatsword, Gustav's golden heavy shield suddenly exerted a suction, like a magnet!

The emperor's Shield Mastery Specialization must have reached an extremely high level, blocking this strike by not using "skew" techniques to dissipate force, but soft strength to offset the rebounding force, while using adhesive force to cling to the opponent's weapon!

This adhesive force wasn't strong, so Bai Pu could still successfully pull back the greatsword. However, his attack interval was forcibly extended by more than double, the attack losing its usual flowing water-like feeling.

Gustav's right hand broadsword, flicked out with a stabbing motion.

This stab was swift as lightning, one moment making a stabbing motion, then it immediately hit Bai Pu's chest! It was so fast Bai Pu didn't even have time to block with his shield.

To describe Gustav's stab as fast, any language would seem inadequate.

It was as if a video, with several frames extracted, in one frame storing up power, the next, the blade already piercing into the enemy's body, frames of the blade reaching out being pulled away.

On the battlefield, many awakened inhaled deeply in shock.

Though they were in battle, the focus on the battlefield was the frontal clash between Bai Pu and Gustav, a rare sight indeed.

These mid-level Awakened had rarely seen Native Lords in action; the word 'lord' like a vast sky overhead, each Awakened only able to gaze up, without any notion of challenge.

Almost every squad had at least one Awakened, entrusting their back to other teammates to defend, watching this duel.

Encased in heavy armor with a large shield, "Longxiang" couldn't help but think to himself, what if I faced such a thrust?

The answer was too late to block, let alone dodge, having no choice but to take the thrust head-on!
