“I can’t let them live.” John was about to leave and enter the world of the Gods to hunt down those who had slain the Azure Family.
At that moment, a faint power flickered, drawing his attention deeply.
“What is it?” he wondered, feeling intrigued. Was there a treasure here?
Curiosity piqued, he followed the source of that weak power.
It wasn’t coming from the Azure Family but from the dense forest deep within the mountains.
It seemed the ancestor of the Azure Family, Hummer, had just flown from this direction.
Surrounding him were scattered rocks, remnants of a ruined structure, and a broken stone tablet caught his eye. Weathered by time, he could vaguely make out three large characters on it.
“Co-Cloud Sect? This is a cultivation sect!” John was astonished; the force drawing him grew even stronger.
He stepped into the forest, where a stone staircase, overgrown with weeds, led directly to the mountain’s peak.
The source of that alluring power was at the summit.
He executed Sword Flight, quickly reaching the mountaintop. The cold wind blew against him, but the area was lush with greenery, a powerful force radiating around him.
This power was identical to that emanating from the Spirit Stone in Elsa’s room.
Yet it wasn’t this power that attracted him.
The energy was faint but felt intensely compelling, as if calling from the depths of his soul.
Curiously, he scanned the surroundings for the source of the power.
The open mountaintop revealed everything; beneath the thick grass was a hidden entrance to
a cave.
That alluring energy was coming from within.
Intrigued, John entered the cave.
Buzz!
A faint ripple of spatial power echoed, as if this place were isolated from the outside world.
The cave was not spacious; everything was in plain sight, with a simple stone table, stone stools, and a stone bed.
Signs of human life were evident, and the strong pull came from four items on the table, glowing with a soft white light.
Convinced there was no danger, he approached with curiosity.
A piece of jade bone, a jade stone, a jade talisman, and a small, palm-sized jade sword.
“This is… Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Spirit Stone, and Immortal Sword!” he exclaimed involuntarily.
He had never seen these items before, but he instinctively guessed their names at first glance.
remembered the instructio
from the woman in green, warning him not to refine the
gods’ treasures, but to find these four items.
“Could it really be this coincidental?” He glanced around the cave, his gaze drawn upward.
Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt as if a pair of enormous hands in the void were guiding him forward.
He stopped dwelling on the issue and looked at the four items on the stone table, muttering in confusion, “How do I use these things?”
Curiously, he picked up the small jade sword.
Whoosh!
The jade sword was sharp, easily cutting through his palm, and blood dripped onto the stone platform, revealing four small characters.
“Enter the game with your body?” John’s brows furrowed in confusion, and then the
bloodstains vanished, absorbed by the other three items on the table.
Only then did he notice that the jade sword was also drawing in his blood.
Buzz!
With a humming sound, the four items suddenly merged into his body.
“Did… did I just refine them?” He could feel his body strengthening, his power significantly increasing. This was only from refining the four items, not a complete fusion.
To fully merge the Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Spirit Stone, and Immortal Sword, special conditions were still needed.
Crack!
At that moment, another light sound echoed as the stone table cracked, and several stones rolled off.
“Spatial stones?!” he exclaimed in disbelief.
Under the heavy stone table lay hundreds of spatial stones.
Could it be that spatial stones weren’t products of the world of Gods, but originated from the real world?
He realized that the strong figures from those cultivation sects likely descended into the world of Gods using spatial stones.
“Enter the game with my body? Do they want me to descend into the world of Gods as well?” He recalled the four characters that had appeared on the table and frowned at the spatial stone in his hand.
He had no desire to enter the world of Gods.
“Let’s see how it goes,” he murmured to himself, collecting all the spatial stones-307 in total.
After thoroughly checking the cave to ensure he hadn’t missed anything, he decided not to linger and used Sword Flight to quickly return to the military base.
…
The round trip had taken a whole day, and the biggest regret was that he hadn’t completely dealt with the Azure Family.
He could only ask Elsa if she knew the whereabouts of the Azure Family in the world of Gods. After helping Sinigame pot fill with nutrients, he immediately entered the world of Gods. He appeared outside Flame City, and shortly after, several notification sounds rang out.
[You refined the Immortal Bone, Constitution +10000]
[You refined the Immortal Body, Agility +10000]
[You refined the Spirit Stone, Spirit +10000]
[You refined the Immortal Sword, Strength +10000]
[Fusion conditions for Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Spirit Stone, and Immortal Sword: Convert all magic power into spiritual power]
…
“Forty thousand attributes just like that!” John was astonished; he hadn’t expected such a massive boost in power from refining the Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Spirit Stone, and
Immortal Sword.
Most importantly, he had unlocked the fusion conditions.
Convert all magic power into spiritual power.
The Spirit Stone Elsa had given him could turn magic power into spiritual power.
One Spirit Stone can convert 10,000 points of magic power into 1 point of spiritual power.
His magic power totaled over 1.9 million, meaning he would need 190 Spirit Stones, which
was still far from enough.
Whoosh…
Suddenly, a fierce wind whipped up, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a terrifying pressure
enveloped the area.
“Oh no!” John’s expression changed; he had almost forgotten that refining several major racial treasures in advance would attract the attention of deities.
The Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Spirit Sense, and Immortal Sword were treasures of the same level as those of other races.
“Ritchie, all members of Flame City, immediately teleport to Saint Martial Sect!” he quickly warned the members of Flame City. They had to break through the Abyss passage and escape before the deity’s avatar descended.
The Abyss was completely isolated from the world of Gods, making it impossible for the deity
to sense them.
Death Land was also a separate space, but angels and Dark Humans had previously descended
into Death Land.
He wasn’t sure if the deity’s avatar could enter; there were too many treasures in Death Land that were crucial to him, and he didn’t dare to take risks lightly.
The Abyss passage closed.
Ritchie sensed something was wrong. Upon hearing John’s warning, he reacted quickly and ordered everyone to teleport to either Saint Martial Sect or Malina’s Phoenix City.
Those who couldn’t teleport immediately logged out.
A massive face appeared in the sky as the deity’s avatar descended, but Flame City was already
deserted.
“Hmm? Why did they suddenly vanish?” The gigantic face furrowed its brow, muttering to
itself, “Could they have logged out? The aura just now seemed to belong to The Immortals; I must report this to Lord God of Light!”
Thunder rumbled in the sky as the massive face slowly faded, the dark clouds dissipating, and
the world regained its clarity.
John entered the Abyss, exhaling a long breath of relief. He regretted refining the four
treasures.
Now he was already targeted by the deity, making his movements very inconvenient. Breaking
the seal of The Temple required level seven.
He was only at level 773, far from the required 1,000. He would need to enter the City of
Angels’ Secret Area to quickly level up to seven.
He wondered if the City of Angels was under the deity’s surveillance.
This was his only hope, and he reached out mentally to contact Elsa.
He had signed a master-servant soul contract with Elsa, allowing for mental communication.
Godslayer: “Elsa, I refined the Immortal Bone and other treasures. Is the City of Angels within the deity’s detection range?”
“Immortal Bone? Master, you refined The Immortals’ treasures?” Elsa’s tone was shocked.
The Immortals?
John was puzzled. Could it be that the cultivation sects were The Immortals? It seemed Elsa
knew something.
He quickly asked in his mind, “What kind of existence is this The Immortals? Please explain in
detail.” Elsa said, “Master, I’m not sure about the specifics. All I know is that The Immortals are very powerful and ruthless. They suddenly appeared in the last world of Gods, intending to annihilate all races. At that time, even the most powerful gods and the demon race couldn’t match them. It was only when a mysterious force behind the gods intervened that The Immortals were dealt with.”
“A force behind the gods?” John asked in surprise. “Aren’t the gods the strongest?” “No,” Elsa replied. “In front of those beings, the gods are like ants. However, that mysterious
force has only appeared once to combat The Immortals and has never shown itself again.”
John furrowed his brows, a heavy expression on his face.
His ultimate enemies might not be the gods after all.
What shocked him was the power of The Immortals, which was strong enough to take on all
the races in the world of Gods.
The Immortals were even more powerful than he had imagined.
He decided not to dwell on this; the most important thing now was to deal with the gods.
He asked, “Elsa, if I appear in the City of Angels’ Secret Area, will the gods notice?” “No,” Elsa reassured him. “There are many angels in the City of Angels refining treasures, not
just the gods, but also the demon race, the Beast Clan, and the human race from Skyline
Continent. The gods won’t pay attention to the City of Angels.”
The human race from Skyline Continent also had treasures?
John was surprised, recalling Ada and her Undying Legion, who were all native beings of
Skyline Continent.
It seemed that the races able to survive in the world of Gods were not simple.
The fact that the gods wouldn’t detect the power in the City of Angels put him at ease.
As long as he didn’t descend into the world of Gods before breaking the seal of The Temple,
he would be safe.
Once he broke the seal, the path to becoming a deity would open, and strong figures from
other races, including the demon race and Beast Clan, would emerge.
At that point, the gods would have no time to focus on him.
“Oh, and Master, there’s one more thing,” Elsa continued. “The God of Light just assigned me
a task, asking me to send someone to find and capture the demon race princess, saying she is a
player.”
She thought it was necessary to inform John about this.
“What?” he exclaimed, realizing that the little princess of the demon race was, of course, Sini.
But how did the gods know?
Sini’s identity had only just been confirmed, and only he, Tony, Ben, and Demon King Shadowflame knew about it. There was no way it could have spread so quickly. “There’s a traitor!” he speculated, believing someone had intentionally leaked this
information to the gods.
Tony and Ben were powerful figures of the Beast Clan, and they were sworn enemies of the
gods; they couldn’t possibly betray the Beast Clan.
The only other suspect was Shadowflame.
But that guy had sworn loyalty to him and wouldn’t betray him either.
