The core members were baffled by the sight of the man before them. Despite being handsome and well-built, he was as ferocious as a bear and his eyes displayed utter madness and killing intent.

However, those like Loving Aunt - who had just caught up - and Essence Stalker changed as they sensed the aura of the fellow and recognised him to be the inheritor of Quetzalcoatl, the Dragon God of Wind and Lightning!

The final God Serpent Inheritor turned out to literally have been born in the Pangu Lineage! What kind of sick joke was fate playing with them?!

Just as Loving Aunt and Essence were about to stop this meaningless fight and inform Austin of who he truly was, AP broke out of the wall he had been sent flying into, not even a scratch on him.

He laughed playfully as he flourished his pole axes and pointed towards Austin.

"Brat, you're just about as strong as I am, but you got the first hit! Impressive! Let's exercise a bit, what do you say?"

Austin simply howled like a wounded beast, he had been fighting and defending Shuangtian's room for almost an hour since the slaughter began, and many members of the Pangu Lineage had run down here to hide or use Shuangtian for other purposes.

However, whether Ancestors down to the youths, Austin had slaughtered them all without a care, which was why he was surrounded by so many bodies. The endless blood flowed into him and madly increased his power, which then reduced his control.

As such, he entered his berserk state where his eyes became black and his upper torso crackled with blood-red lightning that could sear bodies beyond traditional recovery.

And now, with someone as powerful as AP standing before him, Austin felt pressure as well as an urge to fight. Not just because of his opponent's power, but because he sensed a thick aura of Pangu blood in AP similar to Shangtian.

As the only one who had ever successfully managed to suppress and actually defeat him, Austin had long been looking forward to a rematch, but Shangtian had hardly come down anymore after they became adults, and it was mostly because Austin was not as berserk as he previously had been.

"I'm going to fight this guy, but he can't bring out any suitable power while barehanded. Boss Essence, I will have to trouble you to create a suitable weapon for him." AP_Berzerker turned to Essence and asked seriously.

Essence thought about it and nodded. He too wanted to see how strong the final God Serpent Inheritor was after being kept in this damned Lineage for so long. As such, he manifested some Aurora Energy to create two thick and powerful hand axes.

Instead of leaving them in energy form, Essence actually coalesced them, which made them obtain matter and permanence, but also meant that he couldn't recover that bit of Aurora Energy. Also, he couldn't do this often as using Aurora Energy in an established universe was dangerous.

Essence floated the weapons over to Austin who warily checked them out before taking them in hand. When he felt his blood lightning easily enter the axes and merge with them, his face displayed shock, then excitement.

With this, his killing ability would greatly increase. However, his face couldn't help but change to one of confusion as he thought of Essence's aura when he was manifesting his bloodline.

Despite his berserk state, he had noticed that it felt similar to his own, and Austin also felt a feeling of closeness towards Essence that was far stronger than whatever he felt for any Pangu Lineage member.

However, he had no time to think as AP suddenly charged forward with a severe look in his eye, manifesting his divine strength as his arm bulked and glowed. Austin was not one to be outdone as he crackled with Blood Burning Lightning and rushed towards AP, their weapons clashing in the middle.

The ensuing shockwave wiped out a part of the concrete flooring, creating a small pit. A Goldy white light exploded from AP while the blood-red lightning exploded from Austin, causing the two lights to clash in an overlay between the two.

The two finally broke their clash and began swinging and fighting, their movements resembled anime characters who had been fast-forwarded. AP had Xingtian's Divine Speed and Austin buffed himself with the literal speed of lightning, so you could just imagine the kind of blur the two created.

Clang!

Boom!

Clash!

Their axes kept striking each other with such force that the metallic clang was enough to cause many to grimace. If the weapons were not so sturdy, they would have long shattered under the power and force of their users.

However, neither AP nor Austin cared about it, too lost in the thrill of battle. AP finally felt like he had met his perfect match, while Austin felt like this was the first battle where he could truly and methodically explore his power and his fighting ability.

Both men were almost equal, but AP had the advantage of Tier 4 Control. Even if he didn't actively use it, it had already passively transformed his mind and body into something perfect for combat, so Austin was slightly suppressed.

He didn't have Control, yet he managed to compensate by manifesting the speed of lightning into his thoughts and also used his ability to control blood to sense the movement within AP's body in order to judge what he would do next.

This makeshift ability could somewhat mimic the passive aspects of the Void of Perfection, but if AP went all out, its flaws would quickly be revealed.

Naturally, AP would not do such a cheap thing because it would spoil the specialness of this fight. To him, the outcome of this fight mattered little, he just wanted to be able to swing his goddamn axes and feel some resistance from his foe.

Literally everyone else had just dropped in one or two hits, so how could he be satisfied?

Austin began to get stronger and stronger, the lightning around him, which usually billowed in every direction chaotically, becane more condensed and focused, either used to defend himself or to attack AP.

For that matter, the Blood Burning Lighting should have fried AP to death by now, but he was easily able to recover from it. After all, if there was one thing Xingtian was known for, it was his Regeneration and Endurance.

That was actually his main forte, and everything else was just an add-on. Killing AP would be as hard as trying to kill Deadpool as long as he had Bloodline Energy available.

Likewise, AP's strength caused a lot of trouble for Austin who was not a strength build per se. Yeah, he could boost his power by stimulating his muscles with Blood Lighting, but it was nothing compared to what AP could bring out.

To offset this, he used lightning in defense, but he still felt the aftereffects of the clash. Luckily, he too had the Undying King Inheritance.

Even if the concentration of his Pangu blood was slightly above average, he could still regenerate consistently from such wounds, making this contest one of attrition between the two.

When people with this kind of bloodline power met, unless one's attributes directly countered the others, most of their fights would end up like this, a battle with the winner being the one whose tactics were better in drain the other person's Bloodline Energy.

The core members by the side watched the bout with interest, gauging the power of this hidden ally. Eventually, Misery and his group caught up and became spectators as well, their eyes flashing.

Especially the direct family of Shuangtian who were shocked by AP, Tunder, and Armonia whose auras were suffocating to them. It felt as if they were looking at slightly weaker versions of Shangtian and the progenitor.

However, they were also shocked that AP could contest with this berserk half-breed. After all, even when they were in prison, they had heard about to deeds of this crazy youth, as well as his strange power, so they could recognize him at a glance.

Their eyes couldn't help but twitch when they saw that these two were fighting so dangerously and explosively right in front of Shaung'er's door.

Were they not worried that one wrong blow and she would be turned into ash?!

Fortunately for them, even in their blood frenzy, AP and Austin actually did consider that, which was why both were fighting closely and had not truly gone all out, else this wouldn't be the sole outcome of their battle.

Eventually, the two men broke their clash and dug a hole in the ground as they were both pushed back. They grunted and panted slightly as they remained in a battle stance facing each other, their eyes sharp and their auras at their peak.

After squaring off like this for a while, they both receded their auras and glanced at each other calmly.

"Not bad, but you need to join your fellows for more training in order to bring out your God Serpent power." AP commented lazily, returning to his bored state.

"God Serpent?" Austin asked with confusion, feeling that this word caused a strange thumping in his blood.

Essence Stalker and Loving Aunt stepped forward, opting to explain and show Austin what his current identity was. Austin was visibly shocked but when he learned about the Lucifer Lineage, his enthusiasm cooled.

"Ah, so you're from my mother's family? Okay."

Hearing this, how could they not know that something was wrong? Well, even without telling them, for a God Serpent to be born in the Pangu Lineage required copulation between one Lucifer Lineage member and one Pangu member, either male or female on each side.

Given the typical history, behavior, and actions of both sides, any genius could tell which one belonged where and how Austin was likely conceived, especially given the fact that he was thrust to the lowest level here.

And if you flexed your braincells just a tiny bit, you could likely guess the kind of relationship such a child would have with both his parents in such an environment.

Reaching here, a hint of pity and sadness couldn't help but enter the heart of the core members and Loving Aunt especially.

Misery stepped forward and smiled. "Whatever the case, we're here to save Ao Shuangtian in the room behind you and return her bloodline to her. We have already captured that dog Shangtian, so we just need to bring her there to start the transfusion."

Austin was shocked by this. They had actually managed to capture that brute, Shangtian? Impossible!

He couldn't help but disbelieve it, for he knew Shangtian's direct power more than anyone else. Yet when he considered that all of these powerhouses must have fought him at once, Austin estimated that they would have a 70% chance to capture him based on their auras alone.

As for their specific power, he couldn't tell.

This made him waver a bit, as he felt like they were speaking the truth, and his blood even gently pulsed as if to agree with his thoughts that they were trustworthy.

"If you don't believe us, at least you will believe her own father and grandfather, right?" Misery stated as he gestured to Ao Litian and Ao Fengtian who stepped forth.

Seeing them, Austin's face showed shock and confusion, their features were the typical Pangu Lineage fare, but having seen Shuangtian before, he could see the resemblance.

All of these facts weighed together made Austin finally relax his vigilance and step to the side. As Misery, AP, Tunder, and Armonia walked towards the door to assist Shuangtian in her movement for their escape, Austin seemed to hesitate.

He held AP's shoulder and paused before he spoke softly.

"When you go in and… see her… don't overreact. She doesn't like that."

The brows of the core members furrowed when they heard this and the family of Shaungtian's faces changed as their hearts were filled with trepidation. Ao Litian and Ao Fengtian could no longer hold back and accompanied the group into Shaungtian's confinement area.

When Misery gingerly pushed the door open and allowed some light into the dark and damp room, allowing the group to see the small bed with a figure lying in it, their faces changed greatly as Ao Litian and Ao Fengtian roared like wounded beasts.

"SHUANG'ER!!!!"
