Within the Blood Domain, countless blood rays flickered, instantly striking John down.
[You have been killed by a Shadow Clan expert. The Blessed Ring has been triggered…]
The notification flashed, and John was resurrected in place, coughing up a mouthful of blood as his soul was severely damaged.
The lords of these Shadow Clan main cities all wielded powerful soul attacks, leaving him defenseless.
“Human, this is the consequence of offending the Shadow Clan. Continue the attack!” The leader shouted angrily, launching another assault.
“Dammit!” John cursed, his mind working quickly as he activated World-in-Hand, drawing all eighteen city lords into it.
Buzz!
Spatial power rippled, and the dozen or so figures were immediately transported into an unfamiliar environment, a world governed by laws entirely different from those of Shadow
Star.
“What a stable world!” the leader exclaimed in shock.
Wrath of the Heavens immediately warned, “This is that human’s World-in-Hand. Last time, tens of thousands of upper-tier gods at their peak and Kangus were killed here. Be cautious.”
Having been part of the previous assault on Ice Talker’s city, he knew just how terrifying John’s methods could be.
“Hmph, no matter how stable this world is, it can’t trap us!” One of them scoffed, pulling out a large number of Undying Flames.
At that moment, John appeared, his figure descending with an indifferent gaze. He coldly spoke: “Welcome to my world.”
“Human, do you really think you can kill us this way? Blood Domain!” The leader barked an order, and the group once again worked together to set up the Blood Domain.
A fierce gust of wind howled, blood-red light spread out, enveloping John completely, completely isolating his World-in-Hand from the outside.
He furrowed his brows, carefully sensing the power of the Blood Domain. Raising his great sword again, he activated the Divine Skill Creation and Destruction.
“Human, it’s useless! This time, you will die for sure. Blood Domain Storm!” The leader shouted with fury. A storm of wind howled, and countless blood rays flashed, easily striking John down.
The Lifesaver talent triggered, and he resurrected in place once more, gaining ten seconds of invincibility.
“Break it!” John roared. A massive wave of Chaos Force surged as the ground trembled. His great sword slashed down toward the Blood Domain.
The group was shocked. They threw everything they had at John, golden light flashing, but they couldn’t even scratch him.
Buzz!
The great sword descended, and space shattered. Endless spatial currents surged, slowly devouring the vast Blood Domain.
The leader’s expression grew serious as he quickly issued orders: “The Blood Domain can’t hold him back. Destroy his World-in-Hand first!”
Saying this, he pulled out a dozen or so crystal spheres, which were Undying Flames, and threw them in all directions, triggering explosions.
The others immediately gave up on attacking John and began using Undying Flames to destroy the World-in-Hand.
Thunderous explosions rang out as the World-in-Hand trembled, cracks appearing in the fabric of space.
John, however, showed no fear, coldly saying, “Is that all you have?”
He looked at them with disdain. Creation and Destruction wasn’t just about destroying space; it could also repair it.
Roar…
A dragon’s roar echoed as John transformed into a Golden Divine Dragon. In Heaven and Earth Transformation, his attributes were boosted by a factor of one hundred and fifty.
“Break for me!” he roared, and a massive sword beam slashed down once more.
The enormous sword beam carried an aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth,
yet its true purpose was to repair the shattered World-in-Hand.
One by one, the spatial rifts were mended, and the World-in-Hand appeared even more stable than before.
“What’s happening?” The group was stunned, their expressions grave.
At that moment, the massive sword beam struck the Blood Domain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The blood rays trembled, the space shattered, and endless chaotic spatial currents immediately engulfed the entire Blood Domain, devouring it completely.
Cough…
The group, caught in the Devouring force, coughed up blood. Their souls were severely wounded, and they stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
“Die! Golden Lotus Hellfire!” John shouted furiously, unleashing a soul attack.
He wasn’t sure what kind of Soul Technique these individuals had, so he refrained from using Soul Impact recklessly.
Golden flames erupted, instantly enveloping them. Their agonized screams echoed as they clutched their heads, struggling in pain.
John had already refined two Golden Soul Essences and one hundred regular Soul Essences, boosting his Soul Technique to a terrifying three million. As a result, the damage of Golden Lotus Hellfire was greatly enhanced.
These enemies were completely unable to withstand the damage from the Golden Lotus Hellfire.
“Quick, summon the Golden Pattern Hunters’ Brood Mother!” The leader ordered through gritted teeth, as the pain from the soul attack intensified. Spatial fluctuations rippled, and eighteen Hunters’ Brood Mothers with golden patterns were summoned.
John sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. “What, you think these Hunters’ Brood Mothers can devour the Golden Lotus Hellfire?”
He had encountered the tactics of the Hunters’ Brood Mothers before and wasn’t the least bit
afraid.
“Attack!” The leader ignored John’s taunt, enduring the pain gnawing at his soul, and made contact with the Hunters’ Brood Mothers.
John’s brow furrowed, a bad premonition rising in his heart. These enemies weren’t trying to have the Hunters’ Brood Mothers devour the Golden Lotus Hellfire.
Roar…
A series of angry roars echoed as the Hunters’ Brood Mothers launched their soul attacks.
The soul attacks of the Hunters’ Brood Mothers were usually non-lethal, but under the command of these individuals, the power of their souls converged, transforming into eighteen arrows of soul energy that shot toward John at terrifying speed.
John sensed the danger. His Soul Technique wouldn’t be able to block this.
Without hesitation, he activated Golden Lotus Manifestation.
Buzz!
In the depths of his mind, the Golden Flame Lotus spun, golden light flashing as it enveloped
his soul.
At that moment, the eighteen arrows of soul energy instantly struck into his mind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions echoed. The golden light flickered and scattered, but the Golden Lotus Manifestation barely managed to block the soul attacks of the arrows.
Even so, the immense shockwave still severely wounded his soul.
“Cough!” John coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pale, his mind ringing with a buzzing
sound.
“Not dead?” The leader couldn’t help but swallow hard, unable to accept what he was
witnessing.
The Golden Pattern Hunters’ Brood Mothers had incredibly powerful souls. When eighteen of
them joined forces to launch soul arrows, even a three-star The Overseer would have no
chance of blocking them.
And yet, John had only been heavily injured.
Fortunately, the Golden Lotus Hellfire that enveloped them dissipated.
“Again!” The leader ordered once more, directing the Golden Pattern Hunters’ Brood
Mothers to continue their soul attacks.
“Damn!” John’s expression grew grim. He could feel that, even with the Golden Lotus Manifestation, he wouldn’t be able to block a third such powerful soul attack.
He couldn’t let them keep attacking!
“Divine Mindless!” he roared, gathering his immense mental energy as he cast the forbidden
soul spell, Divine Mindless, to control the Hunters’ Brood Mothers.
Buzz! The space trembled, and an invisible force immediately invaded the minds of the eighteen Golden Pattern Hunters’ Brood Mothers.
John couldn’t help but cough up more blood. These Golden Pattern Hunters’ Brood Mothers had a Soul Technique of no less than three million, and forcibly controlling them caused a backlash on his soul.
But he gritted his teeth and endured, maintaining control over the Hunters’ Brood Mothers, who continued to cast their soul attacks, now targeting the Shadow Clan experts instead.
Dozens of soul arrows formed, but instead of striking John, they were aimed at the Shadow
Clan warriors.
“Bastards, are you out of your minds?” The group was immediately horrified, cursing and hurriedly activating their soul defense skills.
The Golden Pattern Hunters’ Brood Mothers had incredibly powerful souls, and they could
not withstand such an attack.
Pfft!
The soul arrows shot into their minds, and the Hunters’ Brood Mothers howled in agony.
These Hunters’ Brood Mothers had all formed a soul bond with the Shadow Clan warriors. When the warriors suffered soul damage, the Hunters’ Brood Mothers’ souls also experienced
a backlash.
Among them, eleven had weak souls and were directly annihilated by the soul arrows.
[You have killed a Shadow Clan upper-tier gods peak expert. You gained 26.766 billion
experience points.]
[Your level has increased…]
[Plunder talent activated: Shadow Power +10, Shadow Law +1%, Physical Critical Hit +10.]
[You have killed a Shadow Clan upper-tier gods peak expert. You gained 26.766 billion
experience points.]
[Your level has increased to level 20,000, unlocking the advancement quest. You can continue
to improve after advancing.] [Lower-tier gods advancement quest: Kill ten lower-tier gods experts.]
[You have completed the advancement quest, your cultivation has reached lower-tier gods.
All four basic attributes increased by 200,000.]
[You have broken through to the mid-stage of the two-star The Overseer rank. All four basic
attributes increased by 200,000.]
[Plunder talent activated…]
The prompt flashed, and John’s level finally reached level 20,000, successfully breaking
through to the lower-tier gods rank.
Moreover, The Overseer had also broken through to the mid-stage of two stars, significantly enhancing his attributes.
Not only that, but by killing these Shadow Clan city lords, he once again Plundered 11% of the
Shadow Power of Laws.
His Shadow Power of Laws had reached 13.3%, giving him a completely new understanding of
the Shadow Laws. He could even manipulate the Shadow Power of Laws now.
“So that’s how it is!” John muttered, both surprised and pleased. With a casual wave, blood-
red light spread, and a vast Blood Domain formed.
The remaining seven Shadow Clan experts widened their eyes in terror, unable to believe what
they were seeing.
“Human, y-you… how are you able to cast Blood Domain?” The leader’s voice trembled, disbelief in his tone. “You have mastered the Shadow Power of Laws!”
“Heh!” John sneered coldly. Thousands of blood rays flickered, enveloping the group of Shadow Clan experts and the eighteen Golden Pattern Hunters’ Brood Mothers. “No!” The group screamed in terror, their voices filled with anger and disbelief. They had already suffered significant soul damage, and they knew just how powerful the
Blood Domain was. They were completely powerless to resist.
Boom! Boom!
The blood-red mist spread, and in an instant, the eighteen Hunters’ Brood Mothers, along
with the seven remaining Shadow Clan experts, were all slaughtered.
John once again Plundered a large amount of attributes, as well as 8.8% of the Shadow Power
of Laws.
Now, his mastery over the Shadow Laws had reached a point where he was no longer afraid of
Blood Domain. Even without using the divine skill Creation and Destruction, he could easily annihilate the city lords of the Shadow cities.
However, what delighted him the most were the spoils of battle dropped by these foes.
Eighteen Holy Artifacts, three of which were longswords. He could easily replace the high- tier artifact he was currently wielding.
In addition, there were eighteen Golden Soul Essences, which, when refined, would directly increase his Soul Technique by 1.8 million!
John took everything into his possession. With a thought, he left World-in-Hand.
At this moment, Purple Sky City was on the brink of collapse. Countless Hunters and Shadow Clan troops had invaded the city through spatial rifts.
Fortunately, the city’s altar was deep within a mine, protected by Cand-Dragon and the
others. The invaders would not be able to destroy it in the short term. “Hmph, you think you can destroy my Purple Sky City?” John sneered, his voice full of disdain as he began to slaughter the surrounding enemies.
