[You have been instantly killed by the Shadow Clan elite Blood Moon; Undying and Immortal trait activated…]
Notifications flashed as John was killed once again.
This Blood Moon was unbelievably tricky, practically immune to soul attacks, with only the Red Lotus Hellfire able to harm him.
But John’s soul power hadn’t yet recovered, leaving him unable to use it.
In a short span, he’d been killed by Blood Moon hundreds of times.
Moreover, with that strange red thread connecting them, which transferred damage, he couldn’t risk launching any attack.
“Godslayer, I’m here to help you!” At that moment, Jolyne arrived, having helped Cand- Dragon and the others eliminate the remaining Shadow Clan warriors.
John quickly warned, “Be careful; this guy’s immune to soul attacks.”
He knew Jolyne’s strongest attacks were soul-based.
“I’ll cut off the life connection for you!” Jolyne said, shedding her black cloak.
Her multicolored, flowing gown caught the light, framing her flawless face, like an ethereal deity, stunning beyond words.
For a moment, John was mesmerized.
Buzz!
A brilliant rainbow aura enveloped him, severing the crimson thread connecting them.
“Hurry up, attack!” Jolyne urged as she noticed him staring, a hint of urgency in her voice. Boom!
A flash of blood-red light struck, killing John once more, activating his Undying and Immortal trait.
He finally snapping back to focus.
John yelled, “Heaven and Earth Transformation!” His form shifted rapidly, morphing into a giant towering above, casting an overwhelming pressure over everyone.
“What…what is that creature?”
“So terrifying. I can feel my soul trembling.”
“Is this human actually going to kill a Shadow Clan elite?”
“What’s there to question? Haven’t you seen Godslayer already took down six Shadow Clan elites?”
“Good thing we chose the right side in time…”
People looked up at the towering form of John, filled with awe and shock.
Especially the weaker survivors among them, who slumped to the ground in utter disbelief.
“This human has grown even stronger,” Lincoln murmured, a familiar sense of helplessness creeping in. This wasn’t the first time they had witnessed John’s Heaven and Earth Transformation, yet it still struck them with awe.
Blood Moon stared in shock at John’s transformation, but he quickly collected himself.
“Hmph, human! Do you think that getting bigger will make me fear you? You will die today!” he roared, disappearing into a flurry of blood-red light as he launched a frenzied assault.
“How foolish,” John’s deep voice resonated, causing the very air to quiver.
In his Heaven and Earth Transformation state, his attributes were magnified a hundredfold, now matching Blood Moon’s power. With the blood link severed by Jolyne, he had no reason to hold back.
Boom…Boom…
The sky itself seemed to tear open, and three massive sword shadows appeared out of thin air. Nine Heavens Sword!
But this time, John was controlling all three swords simultaneously.
Boom!
The colossal sword shadows slashed down toward the blood-red light.
With a deafening crash, the very fabric of space seemed to shatter.
The Secret Area’s space was far sturdier than the outside world, yet before John, it shattered like glass.
Endless chaotic spatial currents surged, tearing apart everything in their path with merciless fury.
Jolyne’s face turned pale as she hurriedly retreated, her soul power was strong, but her physical body couldn’t withstand the raging spatial currents.
Others watching were also jolted into awareness, stepping back repeatedly.
Cand-Dragon, however, didn’t move. He stood with a serious expression, eyes locked on John as if he’d reached some understanding.
“Cough!” Just then, Blood Moon reappeared, coughing up blood as he was thrown backward.
“Godslayer, just what are you?” he managed to steady himself, floating in mid-air, glaring furiously at John.
For the first time, Blood Moon felt fear – against this transformed John, he was almost completely powerless.
Whoosh…
With a sweeping motion, John stepped forward, his body instantly splattered with blood.
Although he didn’t fear the spatial currents, his body was still unable to fully withstand their damaging force.
“Enough with the talking!” he shouted, commanding the three enormous sword shadows to strike at Blood Moon.
The sword shadows sliced through the air, fracturing space itself.
Blood Moon’s expression shifted drastically. He knew he couldn’t withstand this strike. His gaze quickly scanned the surroundings and locked onto Cand-Dragon nearby.
With a wave of his hand, a red thread shot out, aiming to connect his life force with Cand-
Dragon’s.
“Hmph, don’t even think about it!” Jolyne’s voice cut through, and with a sweep of her hand, another rainbow-colored light descended, severing the approaching thread.
“Cand-Dragon, back away!” she urged.
Yet Cand-Dragon remained in place, his gaze still fixed on John.
“Hm?” Jolyne noticed the peculiarity.
Cand-Dragon seemed entirely focused, deeply immersed as if in a state of enlightenment.
She chose not to disturb him, standing guard beside him to prevent interference from Blood
Moon.
Boom!
The massive sword slashed down, sending a spray of blood mist as Blood Moon was obliterated without resistance.
A second later, the blood mist condensed, and his figure reappeared, coughing blood again, his face pale and his soul wounded.
Although his immunity to soul damage wasn’t absolute, destroying his physical body was
enough to damage his soul.
John’s Immortal Art skill had easily obliterated his body.
“Hmph, I get it now. I just have to destroy your body to damage your soul!” John’s icy voice
echoed.
Blood Moon wiped the blood from his lips, responding coldly, “Godslayer, even if I die, I’ll
take you with me!”
With that, he produced a crystal sphere in his hand, a flicker of white flame dancing within.
“Undying Flame!” Tony shouted from afar in alarm.
Blood Moon held the Undying Flame in his hand.
“What? How did you get that?” John demanded, frowning. The Undying Flame was exclusive to The Immortals; Tony only happened to acquire one by pure chance.
But now, Blood Moon, a member of the Shadow Clan, possessed the Undying Flame.
The Undying Flame was as mysterious as John’s Red Lotus Hellfire, capable of attacking the soul and strong enough to threaten even peak upper-tier gods.
“Hmph, you’ll never know. Die!” Blood Moon roared, hurling the Undying Flame directly at
John.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, the white flame burst forth like parasitic fire, instantly wrapping
around John’s massive form.
The terrifying heat scorched his body and soul alike.
“Ugh!” John grunted in pain, but deep within his soul, the Crimson Karma Lotus emerged,
working hard to absorb and neutralize the power of the Undying Flame.
He barely managed to hold off its deadly effects.
“Human, did you think I only had one Undying Flame?” Blood Moon’s icy voice echoed as he
produced two more Undying Flames, hurling them toward John without hesitation.
Boom! Boom!
The Undying Flame detonated, sending the temperature of the entire Secret Area
skyrocketing.
More concerning was that the Crimson Karma Lotus couldn’t fully neutralize these flames,
leaving John fatally wounded.
[You have been instantly killed by Undying Flame. Undying and Immortal trait activated…]
The notification flashed, and John resurrected again, still surrounded by waves of Undying
Flame.
“Amethyst Battle Armor!” he shouted, and his massive form glowed with a violet light, transforming into a suit of armor that covered his entire body.
This was the ultimate skill he had gained after upgrading his Diamond Armor.
“Water Mist Clone!” He quickly summoned a large clone – not his true clone, but a skill-
based copy.
The immediate danger was momentarily diverted, but before he could catch his breath, Blood
Moon revealed two more crystal spheres.
He had even more Undying Flames.
“Human, I prepared these for Skyline Continent’s Guardian God, but I suppose they’ll serve
well enough for you!” Blood Moon’s face showed reluctance, but he gritted his teeth and
threw the crystal spheres again.
Boom!
Boom!
John’s Water Mist Clone evaporated in an instant, and his Amethyst Battle Armor shattered,
his body and soul suffering critical damage.
The power of the Undying Flame was terrifying; at this rate, John feared he might actually
fall.
“Godslayer, catch!” At that moment, Jolyne quickly discarded her rainbow-colored gown, once again cloaking herself in a black robe, and tossed the gown to John.
Not fully understanding her intent, John nevertheless grabbed the rainbow-colored gown.
Buzz!
The multicolored light enveloped him. As soon as it touched him, it transformed into a set of rainbow armor, completely shielding him from the Undying Flame’s damage. “What…is this?” Blood Moon’s eyes widened in shock. “The Immortals’ Rainbow Veil? Impossible! How could such a treasure be in your hands?”
He stepped back, his gaze furious and fearful as he looked at Jolyne. “Aren’t you from the
Feather Race? Why do you have an artifact of The Immortals?”
“Light Sword Slash!”
“Holy Light Demon-Buster Blast!”
“Return of Ten Thousand Swords!”
…
John’s cold voice echoed, his energy surging, causing the entire space to tremble. A storm of
magical skills roared forth, engulfing Blood Moon.
Boom!
Space fractured, and Blood Moon was instantly killed once more.
“Die!” John didn’t relent, his assault continuing.
With Blood Moon’s body destroyed, John set his sights on his opponent’s soul.
“Red Lotus Hellfire!”
“Soul Impact!”
Two powerful soul-based attacks struck in succession.
Bang!
Blood Moon’s soul shuddered, flickering like a candle in a storm, and then was extinguished
in an instant.
“No…human, by crossing the Shadow Clan, you are doomed to die…” Blood Moon’s voice cut
off as his soul dissolved, vanishing completely.
[You have killed Shadow Clan elite Blood Moon, gaining 2.6766 trillion experience points.]
[Your level has increased to 10,055…]
[Plunder trait activated. You have acquired an SSS-level Time Affinity, time law
comprehension +1%, Shadow Power +10.]
The notifications flashed, marking Blood Moon’s fall. A few Elemental Essences scattered
around, along with another Undying Flame.
“An SSS-level Time Affinity?” John was stunned. Time affinity was even rarer than spatial
affinity, and with it, he’d gained a 1% comprehension of time law, allowing him to adjust time flow by 0.1X.
It might not seem like much, but in battles against powerful foes, a fraction of a second’s advantage could be decisive.
With the battle over, the powerful warriors from various races who had been watching in awe looked at John, towering like a deity, with a mixture of reverence and fear.
“Blood Moon is really dead.”
“This human is terrifying.”
“I recall an old saying from long ago: don’t provoke The Immortals…”
Roar…
Suddenly, a resonant dragon’s roar echoed through the entire Secret Area. Fierce winds
surged, fine cracks appeared in the space, and an enormous dragon emerged, occupying nearly half of the Secret Area’s space. Its overwhelming presence filled the air, even more
daunting than John’s.
