Ice Talker spoke helplessly, “Forget it, I’ll help you refine those two Heart of the
Continent first. Then I’ll enter seclusion to comprehend the The Immortals legacy and see if I can break through.”
With that, she took out twenty spiritual power pills and handed them to John. “These two should also enter seclusion to comprehend with me.”
John took the pills and remarked, “I feel like I’m at a disadvantage here.”
The price of a spiritual power pill was high, at 1000 Spirit Stones each, but it seemed that Shadow Star didn’t lack Spirit Stones.
Shadow Star had more than just this one Spirit Stone vein-there were many scattered veins throughout the region, though not as rich as this one.
Other Lord God worlds likely also had large quantities of Spirit Stone veins on their planets. Ice Talker explained, “The spiritual power pills are not particularly rare, but only Alchemists can refine them. The Alchemist profession is rare, and it’s controlled by a few Lord Gods. The price of 1000 Spirit Stones is just the surface value; some powerful factions or organizations are willing to pay even higher prices to acquire large quantities of spiritual power pills. The price can go as high as over 2000 Spirit Stones per pill.”
“I see,” John said, looking at the Emperor of the Underworld. The old man seemed to be an Alchemist himself. Perhaps Tracy could study under him.
“Let’s go. We’ll enter World-in-Hand first.” With a thought, John brought Ice Talker, Cand- Dragon, Tony, and Peter into the World-in-Hand.
“What a solid world!” Terran marveled at John’s World-in-Hand, his astonishment evident. “John, can you take me out of here?” At that moment, Sini ran over to John, her eyes full of longing.
“This is…?” Ice Talker’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Power of the Nine Nether!”
“Huh?” Sini noticed her gaze and, upon realizing Ice Talker was another beautiful woman, glared fiercely at John.
John pretended not to notice, instead turning to Ice Talker with a puzzled expression. “You know the Power of the Nine Nether?”
Sini had gained the Power of the Nine Nether through the Immortals legacy, something John had never heard of before.
Ice Talker nodded, glancing between John and Sini. She said, “Shadow Clan got themselves into big trouble by provoking both of you. It’s lucky for us that we aren’t enemies. The only regret is that two The Overseers can’t come from the same race; otherwise, this little girl would truly be invincible.”
The Overseer?
John froze. Sini could become a The Overseer? But she wasn’t human-she was of the demon
race.
And among the demon race, no The Overseer had ever appeared. Did being a The Overseer somehow enhance the Power of the Nine Nether?
John was about to ask more questions when Ice Talker and the others had already arrived at the The Immortals legacy site and entered seclusion to comprehend it.
However, John had already guessed that since Sini had mastered the Power of the Nine Nether, she could easily break the seal of his World-in-Hand. It seemed that the Power of the Nine Nether was a natural counter to The Overseer.
“We can’t leave right now; we’re trapped here,” John explained briefly to Sini.
She looked disappointed, then asked, “John, do you think my ability could break the formation?”
“Hmm?” John’s eyes lit up. There might be a possibility after all.
However, the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star was too dangerous. He didn’t want Sini
to take any risks. It would be better to wait for Ice Talker and the others to finish their
seclusion. If they couldn’t find another solution, then he’d let Sini try.
With a few people protecting her, there wouldn’t be much danger in the short term.
After dismissing Sini, John focused on refining and integrating the Heart of the Continent, following the method taught by Ice Talker.
…
Over a month had passed. John had already integrated the two Heart of the Continent, and his strength had improved significantly, though his realm had not increased.
Ice Talker and the others had also completed their comprehension of the The
Immortals legacy, and each had gained new abilities.
The greatest improvement was seen in Ice Talker, who had gained a new power. However, she didn’t reveal what it was.
John didn’t press her for the details; after all, everyone had their own secrets.
Ice Talker sighed, “The abilities we’ve gained aren’t related to formations, so we likely can’t break the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.”
Cand-Dragon spoke up, “Maybe The Absolute has already left?”
But the others didn’t think so.
“Formation?” Peter approached, asking, “Are you all trapped in a formation? I
comprehended the Immortals legacy, and I gained insight into the power of formations. Maybe I can help you.”
“Really?” Ice Talker asked eagerly. “Can you solve the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star?”
Peter furrowed his brows and shook his head. “No, I can’t. The formation is too complicated, and my strength is too weak to set it up.”
Slap! Chris immediately slapped Peter, angry. “Who told you to set it up? Didn’t you hear that we’re trapped in a formation? You should be trying to break it, not set it up!”
Peter rubbed his head awkwardly and gave a dry chuckle before saying, “I can destroy it, though. I just need to find the formation’s core. If I break the core, the formation will
collapse.”
Everyone’s eyes brightened. They hadn’t expected the solution to be so close at hand.
“Senior, it looks like we’ll have to rely on you this time,” John said, standing up.
“John, I’m going too,” Sini quickly added.
John didn’t refuse. With a thought, he led the group out of World-in-Hand and back into the snow mountain.
The biting cold hit them immediately. Sini instinctively moved closer to him.
John’s thoughts stirred, and he gathered his spiritual power into a barrier, blocking the cold.
Then, he gathered his Chaos Force once again and activated the Nine Heavens Sword, effortlessly breaking the passage connecting the snow mountain to the Spirit Stone mine. “Let’s go,” John said, and the group passed through one by one, entering the collapsed Spirit
Stone mine.
“The formation is still active!” Ice Talker frowned and quickly whispered a reminder.
Hum!
A strange energy wave rippled through the air, and the entire sky seemed to be filled with Star Dust as The Absolute shot up into the air.
“Godslayer, so you’re still hiding here!” He glared coldly at John and said angrily, “This time, you will all die for sure!”
“Surrounding Star, killing formation!” With a furious shout, The Absolute immediately
activated the killing formation.
Whoosh…
Countless Star Dust rained down, bombarding the area where they stood with a relentless
barrage.
John and his companions gritted their teeth, not only trying to avoid the Star
Dust bombardment but also needing to protect both Peter and Sini.
“Peter, can you sense it?” Cand-Dragon asked anxiously.
Peter didn’t answer immediately. He looked up at the sky, his eyes reflecting the endless Star
Dust.
“I found it!” After a moment, he realized something and said helplessly, “The core of the formation is outside. Can you attack it from here?”
He pointed toward the outside of the formation, where a slightly raised jade stone could be
seen.
“Great, if we could get out, we wouldn’t need you at all!” Terran complained helplessly.
“Maybe I can break it,” Sini suddenly spoke up.
Everyone was taken aback.
Ice Talker furrowed her brows and warned, “Little girl, if you expose the Power of the Nine Nether, your situation will be even more dangerous than Godslayer’s.”
“I’m not afraid. You all focus on breaking the core,” Sini replied, indifferent, even eager for
more enemies to come.
John didn’t stop her. This was the only way out.
If things got too dangerous, he could always keep Sini locked away in World-in-Hand.
Hum!
A cold, murderous energy gathered, and Sini put all her strength into opening a gap in the
formation.
“Hurry, now’s your chance!” she quickly urged.
The group immediately gathered their most powerful attacks and rushed through the gap in
the formation, aiming straight for the core.
Boom!
A thunderous roar shook the sky, and the entire area trembled. The Star Dust scattered into pieces as the formation was shattered.
At the same time, the Spirit Stone in The Absolute’s hand shattered as well, and a trace of blood dripped from his mouth.
Controlling the formation was connected to his mind and soul. With the formation destroyed,
his soul suffered a devastating blow.
“Power of the Nine Nether!” His eyes were filled with shock and fear as he stared at Sini.
“Godslayer, don’t spare anyone here. Remember, don’t take them into World-in-Hand!” Ice Talker quickly reminded him. If they killed everyone here, perhaps Sini’s secret would remain
safe.
“Understood!” John replied, and immediately drew Sini and Peter into World-in-Hand, removing any worries. He then activated Heaven and Earth Transformation without
hesitation.
Roar…
A long and resonant dragon’s roar echoed as Cand-Dragon also activated Heaven and Earth Transformation.
The two massive beings charged straight into the enemy ranks.
The powerful beings within the mine were all at the peak of upper-tier god cultivation,
making it somewhat difficult for John and his companions to handle.
However, Ice Talker and Terran had an easier time. Their control over World-in-Hand far
exceeded John’s.
Though they couldn’t pull these powerful enemies into World-in-Hand, they had their own
surrounding worlds. As long as they stayed within a certain range, they were essentially
invincible.
Especially Ice Talker-just a wave of her hand and snowflakes danced through the air,
carrying endless killing intent. Even the mighty upper-tier gods at the peak of their power couldn’t withstand a single strike from her.
Even the Emperor of the Underworld, after transforming, could easily block the attacks of
four peak upper-tier gods.
A fierce wind howled, the Undying Flame surged, and terrifying power radiated across the
battlefield.
The Absolute watched in fury as his upper-tier gods fell one after another. His eyes nearly
bulged out with rage as he roared, “Ice Talker, does your Nature Clan really intend to go against my Shadow Clan?”
“Hmph,” Ice Talker sneered, “When I was trapped in The Great Formation of the Surrounding
Star, you didn’t say a word like that. Now, you’re going to accompany these fools to the grave!” With a cold snort, she struck without hesitation. Snowflakes filled the sky, instantly enveloping The Absolute, and they shot toward him like arrows.
Hum!
Suddenly, space trembled. The dancing snowflakes froze mid-air, as though time itself had
been bound, and the entire area seemed to be imprisoned.
“Lord God!” Ice Talker’s eyes widened in horror. She quickly warned, “Godslayer, get
everyone around you into World-in-Hand!”
With a swift motion, she immediately pulled the Emperor of the Underworld into World-in-
Hand.
John reacted just as quickly, and with a thought, he drew Cand-Dragon and Tony into World-
in-Hand as well.
Whoosh!
Endless gusts of wind surged, scattering the snowflakes into the air, and the sky became suffused with an endless blood-red hue.
John couldn’t help but swallow nervously, his heart pounding as he watched the scene unfold.
The blood-red sky revealed a massive figure, so immense it seemed to block out the sun, a presence so vast that even John’s Heaven and Earth Transformation appeared like that of an ant in comparison.
A deep sense of helplessness welled up inside him, as if a mere thought from this being could
erase him from existence.
So this is what a Lord God is like?
“Lord God!” The Absolute, barely surviving, cried out in shock as he fell to his knees.
The other peak upper-tier gods around him also fell to the ground, their faces filled with awe,
as they knelt in reverence.
