“Let’s go. Enter my World-in-Hand,” John said with a thought, summoning all the spirit beasts into his World-in-Hand.
“Wow, such a powerful world!” Thunder Fireworks marveled, his eyes wide with shock as he took in the surroundings.
John couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. His World-in-Hand was created using Chaos Force, so it was truly unique.
He spoke, “Your task now is to help me mine the Spirit Stone ore. You can take one-tenth of the Spirit Stones as your share.”
Thunder Fireworks’s eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly responded, “No need for that. One percent would be enough for us.”
With another roar, Thunder Fireworks led his spirit beast army directly to the Spirit Stone mine at the southernmost point of World-in-Hand.
The area was covered by the Undying Flame, but it posed little threat to the spirit beasts. Not to mention, the vast quantity of Spirit Stones made the journey well worth it.
“Godslayer, how did these guys get in here?” Cand-Dragon asked, his tone filled with surprise. The spirit beasts were powerful, especially Thunder Fireworks, who posed a potential threat.
John smiled and answered casually, “I tamed them.”
“Wh-what?” Cand-Dragon exclaimed, shocked. He had encountered spirit beasts before- they were incredibly strong and prideful. Even the Shadow Clan couldn’t subdue them, so it was a surprise that John had managed to do so.
“Kid, I can feel it… Shadow Star won’t know peace with you stirring things up,” Cand-Dragon remarked, shaking his head in disbelief.
“This is just the beginning,” John replied with a smirk. His goal wasn’t just to stir up trouble in Shadow Star-he intended to destroy the entire Shadow Clan.
With the spirit beasts’ help, his confidence soared.
He turned to Cand-Dragon and continued, “I plan to wipe out a Shadow Clan city. Want to join me?”
From Ice Talker, John had learned that to establish a city on Shadow Star, one had to first destroy a Shadow Clan city to obtain a City Building Order.
The main cities of Shadow Star were protected by powerful arrays, and John wasn’t sure if he could break through them. However, wiping out an ordinary city would be a piece of cake for him.
“Sure,” Cand-Dragon said, his eyes lighting up.
He had never forgotten the oppression and torment he endured when he first arrived on Shadow Star. Now, with a chance for revenge, he wasn’t going to let it slip away.
“I want to join too!” Tony, overhearing their conversation, eagerly stepped forward.
“Fine,” John said without hesitation.
Although Tony was only at the demigod level, his mastery of Immortal Art and Immortal Golden Body greatly enhanced his defenses, making him a tough opponent. He was immune to ranged attacks, which made him particularly useful against the Shadow Clan.
Soon, the group had gathered.
Except for Tony and Sini, the rest of the group were all peak upper-tier gods.
Cand-Dragon, Jolyne, Nine-Tails, and Lincoln.
John didn’t plan on having the spirit beasts take action. To destroy a regular Shadow Clan city, these few individuals were more than enough. He would save the spirit beast army for when they needed to fend off a monster tide.
He led the group out of World-in-Hand and toward the nearest ordinary city.
The Shadow Clan’s City No. 601 was under the jurisdiction of the main city No. 96 and was not far from the Shadow mine where John had been working.
Along the way, they encountered Hunters everywhere, but they posed no threat to John and his group.
Soon, City No. 601 came into view, and the number of Hunters around it decreased. They wouldn’t approach the Shadow Clan cities unless they had orders to do so.
“Let’s finish this quickly!” John ordered, activating Heaven and Earth Transformation to turn into a giant. The terrifying pressure radiated from him, spreading over the city.
The massive disturbance caught the attention of the Shadow Clan inside the city.
“It’s that Godslayer! Quick, alert the city lord!” The soldiers on the city walls immediately recognized John.
His transformation into a giant had spread throughout the area, and anyone who entered the city in that form was obviously up to no good.
Buzz!
The sword intent hummed as a massive, terrifying sword beam tore through the sky, screaming toward the city.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed, and the great tremor shook the ground. The solid city walls, built with Shadow ore, were obliterated by the strike of John’s sword.
Inside the city, hundreds of figures shot into the air, all of them peak upper-tier gods from the Shadow Clan.
At the front was a bald man whose aura was the most powerful. He was the lord of City No.
601.
Whoosh!
The gigantic sword beam howled once more, slashing down toward the city.
“Godslayer, how dare you!” The bald man shouted angrily, his body enveloped in a blood-red aura as he charged directly toward the descending sword beam.
Bang!
Blood splattered as he was sent flying backward. A terrifying damage number flashed above his head-nearly two hundred million critical damage!
“Quick! Activate the array and ask Lord Eclipse for help!” He staggered up from the wreckage, panic in his voice as he gave the order.
Eclipse was the lord of City No. 96 and was incredibly powerful.
“An array?” John’s expression darkened as he noticed the energy fluctuations around the city.
A protective barrier rose, enveloping the entire city.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a defensive array and didn’t have any offensive
capabilities, so there was no immediate threat.
“Finish it quickly,” John said, wary. He couldn’t afford to let his guard down. If reinforcements from Shadow Clan arrived, it would cause problems.
Whoosh!
The wind howled as the massive power of laws surged. The group unleashed their most powerful attacks, bombarding the city.
Boom boom…
The sound of explosions reverberated, but all their attacks were blocked by a barrier. The energy surged, but the city remained unharmed.
“Godslayer, it’s useless!” The bald man sneered. “This is the Four Symbols Defensive Array. With your strength, you can’t break it!” Seeing that the array had successfully blocked their attacks, the bald man looked at them with smug satisfaction.
“Is that so?” John didn’t believe it. A long, melodious dragon’s roar echoed as he transformed into his Heaven and Earth Transformation form, taking on the appearance of a divine dragon. His attributes were further boosted.
Whoosh!
The boundless sword intent surged as a terrifying sword beam ripped through the sky. He once again unleashed Nine Heavens Sword. Compared to his previous attack, its power had
grown exponentially.
Boom!
A thunderous crash shook the entire formation, but it still managed to block the sword beam.
However, the Shadow Clan soldiers in the city were not so lucky. The immense energy shockwaves sent several soldiers on the city walls spitting blood.
“Truly sturdy!” John frowned, his expression growing serious. He noticed that the
teleportation array at the center of the city was flashing brightly, signaling that
reinforcements were arriving.
His mind stirred, and he immediately used his Split Void talent to open a spatial passage into
the array.
The Four Symbols Guardian Formation blocked space, but it could not restrict the Split
Void talent.
Moreover, this was merely a defensive formation with no offensive capabilities.
“Go!” John commanded, stepping through the spatial passage and appearing inside the city.
“Split Void talent? No… that’s impossible!” The bald man was stunned, his gaze fixed on John in disbelief. “Human, why do you possess the Split Void talent?”
The Split Void talent was unique, something only five of the strongest Shadow Clan experts
could replicate.
John was not the first powerful being to control Split Void-it was simply inconceivable that
he could possess this talent.
“Attack!” John ignored him. With a command, he summoned three massive sword beams, but
they weren’t aimed at the bald man. Instead, they targeted the teleportation array in the center of the city square.
“Quick, stop him!” The bald man was immediately horrified, but it was too late to act.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out as the teleportation array was destroyed. Several reinforcements who had just stepped out of the array were instantly obliterated.
Roar!
Another loud dragon’s roar rang out as Cand-Dragon transformed into his true form and entered Heaven and Earth Transformation as well. He began rampaging, slaughtering Shadow Clan soldiers around him.
The Four Symbols Guardian Formation was meant to protect the city, but instead of safeguarding these soldiers, it turned them into sitting ducks.
The city was in chaos, with energy swirling everywhere. The sound of agonized screams filled
the air as Cand-Dragon and the others recklessly destroyed everything in sight.
The only ones who might have been able to stop them, the peak upper-tier gods from the
Shadow Clan, were now in John’s sights.
Golden Lotus Hellfire erupted, and countless sword beams howled through the air,
mercilessly cutting down everything in their path.
“Quick, shut down the formation…” The Shadow Clan soldiers were panicking, scrambling to
escape. The Four Symbols Guardian Formation, originally meant to protect the city, had now become a prison that trapped them inside.
The bald man was in misery. In just a few breaths, John had killed him multiple times, his face turning pale, his soul severely wounded.
He knew he was no match for John, and in a panic, he hurriedly spoke, “Godslayer, all you
want is the City Building Order. Let us go, and I will destroy the city and give you the City Building Order.”
In order to save his life, he was willing to offer anything.
But John sneered disdainfully and coldly replied, “I can destroy the city and obtain the City Building Order even if I kill you.”
As he spoke, he launched another attack.
“You shameless human! If that’s the case, you will never get the City Building Order!” The
bald man cursed in anger, ignoring John’s attack. He turned and charged toward the city’s
altar.
He intended to destroy the altar and seize the City Building Order for himself.
John realized his intentions and, with a thought, immediately summoned the man into his
World-in-Hand.
“Huh?” The bald man looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, momentarily stunned before he quickly came to his senses.
“Godslayer, you dare summon me into your World-in-Hand! How ignorant!” His expression
was one of excitement as a number of crystal spheres appeared in his hands-these were Undying Flame. Clearly, he intended to use these Undying Flames to destroy World-in-Hand.
John remained unfazed, unbothered by the threat. He spoke coldly, “Do you not know how I slaughtered your Shadow Clan’s hundred thousand peak upper-tier gods?”
“What do you mean by that?” The bald man was confused, but his actions didn’t pause for a second. He threw dozens of crystal spheres into the air, which immediately exploded. Boom boom…
A series of loud bangs rang out, and World-in-Hand trembled slightly. Several space cracks appeared, but the attack was nowhere near enough to destroy it.
“How ignorant,” John muttered, tired of talking. He swung his longsword and activated the
divine skill Creation and Destruction.
Whoosh!
The longsword sliced through the air, and the space cracks were sealed up. World-in-
Hand remained unharmed and even grew more stable.
“Impossible!” The bald man stood frozen, his face full of disbelief.
He had never received the blessing of the ShadowLord God and couldn’t master the Shadow
Laws. Undying Flame was his only means to destroy World-in-Hand.
But now, these Undying Flames were completely ineffective against John’s World-in-Hand,
and he was momentarily thrown into a state of panic.
Buzz!
The air trembled as John activated his soul skill.
Although the bald man was a peak upper-tier god, his soul techniques were far weaker than
John’s. Furthermore, within World-in-Hand, his soul connection to the Hunters’ Brood Mother was severed.
“Ugh…” The bald man groaned in pain, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes lost their light as he slowly collapsed to the ground.
