The five Shadow Clan warriors were instantly on high alert.
“What’s going on?” one of them stood up, his cold gaze fixed on the spot where John was hiding. The powerful sword aura had emanated from that location.
Whoosh!
Countless sword blades whistled through the air, instantly enveloping the ten Hunter queens and the five Shadow Clan warriors.
“The Immortals’ technique. It’s the Godslayer!” one of them realized, immediately shouting a warning, “Quick! Protect the Hunter queens!”
Without hesitation, the five warriors positioned themselves in front of the ten Hunter queens, their bodies radiating a blood-red aura that formed a protective shield around them.
Slash, slash…
Despite the shield blocking most of the sword blades, many still pierced through, striking the Hunter queens.
-3,408,000,000
-1,704,000,000
-4,840,100,000
A series of terrifying damage numbers appeared. Each sword blade caused an overwhelming critical damage of over 30 billion, with additional true damage in the tens of billions and life percentage damage in the 40 billion range.
The Hunter queens had a total health of over 400 billion.
But even with that, they couldn’t withstand John’s fearsome assault.
“Coward! Show yourself!” one of the Shadow Clan warriors roared furiously, blood-red energy flashing through the air and sweeping over the area where John had been hiding among the Hunters.
Fortunately, John had anticipated this and escaped the moment he launched his attack.
Slash!
Blood splattered, and the surrounding Hunters let out agonizing cries as tens of thousands were torn apart by the blood-red energy.
John, watching from a safe distance, felt a wave of relief. Had he not fled in time, he would have been instantly killed by the attack.
“Blood Soul, stop slaughtering the Hunters!” one of the Shadow Clan warriors frowned and reminded the others.
The warrior then turned to the Hunter queens and ordered, “Command the nearby Hunters to scatter.”
With a deafening roar from the ten Hunter queens, the surrounding Hunters quickly retreated, creating a safe zone.
John, still disguised as one of the Hunters, moved with the retreating horde, blending in and biding his time.
“Damn it!” John cursed under his breath. If he had just a few more opportunities to attack, he could have definitely killed the ten Hunter queens.
But he wasn’t ready to give up.
“Screw it!” he gritted his teeth and once again unleashed his magic. The power of light and darkness surged through the air, raining down multiple ultimate spells on the ten Hunter queens, unleashing chaos.
“I’ve found you!” one of the Shadow Clan warriors’ eyes lit up as he locked onto John, who was still in his Hunter disguise.
A blood-red shadow flickered as the warrior charged directly at him with incredible speed. John’s expression shifted. He quickly shot into the sky, slaughtering any nearby Hunters, and fled toward the outskirts of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins at full speed.
“You won’t escape, human!” Two Shadow Clan warriors transformed into blood-red shadows, pursuing relentlessly.
Amid the Hunter army, one particular Hunter let out a silent sigh of relief. It was John.
The figure that had bolted out earlier wasn’t his true form-it was merely his gods doppelgänger.
However, three Shadow Clan warriors remained guarding the Hunter queens.
“Let’s do this again,” John smirked coldly. Once more, he unleashed his sword technique. The air hummed as countless sword blades formed and rained down upon the Hunter queens.
“Hm? Another enemy?” The three remaining Shadow Clan warriors were startled. Could there be more than one Immortal from Skyline Continent?
Slash! Slash!
The blades sliced through, terrifying damage numbers flashing in the air as the Shadow Clan warriors scrambled to defend themselves.
At that moment, a figure shot out from the Hunter horde, wielding a long spear surrounded by the four elemental forces. The spear morphed into elemental dragons, roaring as they charged forward.
“Human, get lost!” One of the Shadow Clan warriors roared, his body transforming into countless blood threads that entwined the spear, shredding it into pieces.
Meanwhile, the other two swiftly darted toward John.
“Time to run!” Without hesitation, John turned and fled.
“Trying to escape now? Too late! Bloodshadow Assault!” A cold voice echoed, and a sharp blood-red flash pierced through John.
[Your Skyline Continent human doppelgänger was instantly killed by Bloodjade. The Undying and Immortal ability has been triggered…]
The notification flashed. John’s Skyline Continent human doppelgänger resurrected instantly, coughing up blood as his soul suffered severe damage.
Without pausing, he spun around and continued to flee.
“Human, stop!” Two more Shadow Clan warriors gave chase.
“Be careful, it might be a trap!” The bald warrior shouted in warning, but the others had
already rushed ahead.
Now, only the bald warrior remained to guard the ten Hunter queens.
This is my chance!
John’s eyes lit up. With only one guard left, he was confident he could handle it.
And he had to act fast-his gods and Skyline Continent doppelgängers wouldn’t last much longer against the relentless Shadow Clan warriors.
Hum!
Suddenly, the air buzzed with the ominous hum of a powerful sword aura once again.
“There really is someone else!” The bald warrior’s eyes narrowed, his gaze turning blood-red
as he scanned the surrounding Hunters coldly.
Whoosh!
A Hunter broke away from the pack, three longswords swirling around it as it unleashed three sword techniques simultaneously.
Flying Sword Strike, Infinite Sword Array, and Unrivaled Sword Dance. The immense sword
aura enveloped the ten Hunter queens.
“Hmm, a god-level disguise ability!” The bald warrior was astonished. He hadn’t sensed anything unusual about this Hunter-only a god-level disguise could pull that off. “Damn you!” the bald-headed warrior roared, desperately trying to fend off John’s relentless
assault.
The sky was filled with countless sword shadows, and damage numbers flashed repeatedly— all based on life percentage damage.
The bald-headed warrior’s health plummeted rapidly, but despite his shock, he didn’t panic. With a flick of his hand, a crimson thread appeared and quickly wrapped itself around John.
“Not this again!” John muttered to himself. He had faced Shadow Clan warriors before and knew how terrifying this red thread could be-it allowed the warrior to transfer any damage
The received back to his opponent.
Whoosh!
John shifted tactics. The sword shadows vanished, and he reverted to his true form, staring
coldly at the bald-headed man.
“If I’m not mistaken, you’re the infamous Godslayer. How do you possess the shapeshifting ability of the Shapeshifting Witch?” the warrior asked curiously.
The Shapeshifting Witch’s god-level disguise ability had already been replicated five times, meaning it couldn’t be copied again.
Additionally, she was under the control of the Shadow Clan and would never have defected to
a human.
“You can ask her yourself,” John replied coldly. Without wasting any more time, crimson
flames surged from his hand, engulfing the bald-headed warrior.
“Soul attack!” the warrior gasped, his face twisted in pain.
Roar…
Nearby, one of the Hunter queens let out a howl of agony.
This is the queen that shares the soul with the bald man.
John’s eyes lit up at the sight.
It seemed that when one target shared its soul with another, as in the case of the Hunter queen and the bald-headed warrior, an attack on either would inflict damage on both.
The Hunter queens possessed powerful souls, and his previous soul attacks had been met with
backlash.
Only his Red Lotus Fire was unique-it could purify souls, bypassing any soul backlash or
defensive abilities.
However, the cost in soul energy was enormous. Without a higher Soul Technique level than his opponent, fully purifying a target’s soul would be difficult.
But John wasn’t aiming to destroy them outright-his goal was simply to keep the bald-
headed warrior occupied.
“Die!” John roared, unleashing his Immortal Sword once again. Dark clouds gathered as a terrifying pressure filled the air.
His ultimate skill, Return of Ten Thousand Swords, was unleashed again.
Roar! Roar! The Hunter queens, sensing imminent danger, let out enraged cries, and the surrounding
Hunters threw themselves recklessly at John.
“Hmph, fools!” John sneered. Countless sword shadows swirled in the air as tens of
thousands of blades descended, enveloping the Hunter queens and the swarming Hunters.
Slash! Slash!
Blood sprayed in all directions as Hunters were shredded by the sword storm, disintegrating
into a cloud of blood mist.
The ten Hunter queens shrieked in agony as their bodies were riddled with wounds, their
health plummeting rapidly.
“Stop, human!” the bald-headed warrior shouted furiously. His rage surged as he tried to
ignore the burning pain in his soul. A beam of blood-red light shot from his hand, piercing through John’s body.
[You have been instantly killed by Shadow Clan warrior Meorite. The Blessed Ring has
activated…]
A notification flashed. John was instantly resurrected with full health, paying no mind to the warrior’s attacks as he continued his onslaught against the Hunter queens.
John understood the horrifying strength and trickery of the Shadow Clan warriors. If he didn’t
kill the Hunter queens now, the Shadow Clan warriors would remain invincible.
Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out across the battlefield as the Hunter queens wailed in despair, their health
bars plummeting at an alarming rate.
“Cough!” John spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling a sharp pain as he sensed his two remaining clones were heavily injured.
If this continued, the clones would undoubtedly be destroyed. “Unify!” He summoned both the gods and Skyline Continent human clones back to his main
body, merging with them and significantly boosting his overall attributes.
Whoosh!
The power of darkness and light swirled around him, and he unleashed another barrage of
relentless attacks on the Hunter queens.
“Damn you!” Meorite cursed in frustration, his body transforming into a blur of blood as he dashed toward John, once again striking him down in an instant.
But just as before, John’s Lifesaver ability activated, granting him five seconds of
invincibility.
“You’ve run out of time!” John sneered as he used those precious seconds to bombard the ten
Hunter queens with spell after spell.
His Spell Combo activated, unleashing dozens of devastating magical attacks in rapid
succession.
Sword slashes, enormous spear projections, and magic rained down on the queens like a storm of fury. “Human, how dare you!” The other four Shadow Clan warriors, having returned to the battlefield, saw what was happening and erupted with rage. They threw themselves in front of
the Hunter queens, determined to block John’s attacks at any cost. Four crimson threads shot
out again, wrapping around John in an attempt to bind him.
They were desperate, trying to shield the queens with their own bodies.
Boom! Boom!
The battlefield shook violently. Fortunately, John was still in his invincible state.
However, as soon as his invincibility wore off, his health dropped rapidly.
This time, he was killed by the sheer force of his own powerful attacks, amplified by the red
threads binding him.
And yet, for the second time, Lifesaver activated, and John once more gained five seconds of
invincibility.
“Divine Mindless!” John’s voice echoed coldly across the battlefield as a massive surge of soul
energy erupted from him.
He cast his soul-binding curse, forcing his way into the minds of the five Shadow Clan warriors, attempting to seize control.
“Cough!” John staggered as a wave of blood burst from his lips, his face pale-his soul had
taken a heavy blow.
The five Shadow Clan warriors shared their souls with the Hunter queens, making them immune to Divine Mindless. He couldn’t control them.
But even a fleeting moment of distraction was enough.
Seizing the opportunity, John unleashed his ultimate Immortal Art-Nine Heavens Sword.
Hummmm!
A terrifying sword aura filled the sky. Above, a colossal sword materialized, splitting the heavens as it descended with furious power, aimed directly at the Hunter queens and the Shadow Clan warriors.
