[You have slain the Three-Star Overseer Demesnor and gained 2.6766 trillion experience points.]

[Plunder talent activated: Heaven Law comprehension +1%, Space Law comprehension +1%, Constitution +5000, Strength +10,000, Spirit +5000, Agility +3000, Skill Points +1000.]
System notifications flashed rapidly. John’s comprehension of the Heaven Law rose another 1%, reaching a total of 12%. His mastery over the Heaven Law deepened once again.
Moreover, his Space Law comprehension increased by 1%, reaching 22%, allowing him to execute space-related skills and abilities with greater ease.
Upon Demesnor’s death, a Heart of the Continent floated out. Alongside it, two treasures dropped-one belonging to the Sea Clan and the other to the Beast Clan-along with an abundance of other loot.
John collected everything. Roar! Roar!
Deafening roars echoed as countless Hunters surged into the city through its shattered walls.
“Get out of here!” John roared in anger. Three long swords danced around him, their blades flashing brilliantly in mid-air. Thousands of sword lights rained down, furiously slaughtering the invading Hunters.
By the time he was done, most of the Hunters that had stormed into the city lay dead.
With a thought, John activated his World-in-Hand skill, releasing his companions.
The Shadow Lord God had already retreated. Though the Hunters were powerful, they posed no real threat to the group.
John quickly issued orders: “Cand-Dragon, you and a few others are responsible for clearing out the remaining Hunters inside the city.”
He then turned to Peter and instructed, “Senior, repair the formation and block the Hunter army. Everyone else, head to the city walls and ensure your own safety.”
“Understood.”
“Leave it to us,” they replied, nodding resolutely before joining the fray.
John also quickly leaped into another section of the battlefield.
At that moment, Ice Talker and Terran were engaged in a desperate battle against two three- star Overseers, Centeror and Humdwar. They were clearly outmatched and on the brink of defeat.
Terran, in particular, was struggling. His strength was already inferior, leaving him powerless against a three-star Overseer. His life hung by a thread.
John intervened just in time, blocking Humdwar’s attack.
“Go assist Ice Talker. I’ll deal with this one,” John said firmly.
Terran hesitated for a moment before retreating, suppressing the churning blood within his body. With a grateful glance at John, he warned, “Be careful. This one’s strong.”
Terran then joined Ice Talker, and together they faced off against Centeror. Whoosh!
The wind howled, and sword intent filled the air. John unleashed the Nine Heavens Sword, a colossal sword light slashing downward with immense force, forcing Humdwar to retreat.
His expression shifted slightly as he glanced toward the distant city. By now, the Hunters’ army had already been blocked by John’s forces, and they hadn’t discovered Demesnor’s death.
Frowning, he asked coldly, “Human, where is Demesnor?”
“Dead!” John replied icily, as the power of The Heaven Law surged around him.
This Humdwar was even stronger than Demesnor. Moreover, the power he wielded was highly unusual-it didn’t belong to any recognized law of power and could seemingly negate almost all forms of damage.
“What? You managed to kill Demesnor?” Humdwar’s eyes narrowed slightly, his disbelief evident.
“No need to be shocked,” John said, his voice cold and unyielding. “You’re next. Nine Heavens Sword!” With a furious roar, John unleashed his attack. Chaos Force and the Heaven
Law imbued his power, summoning three immense sword beams that tore through the void and descended with devastating force.
“This is… the power of The Heaven Law!” Humdwar’s expression changed dramatically, and The cried out in alarm.
His unique power could nullify almost all attacks based on any law, but The Heaven Law was the exception.
Not daring to be careless, Humdwar summoned the strange power he wielded, creating a protective shield around him.
Boom!
The first sword beam struck, accompanied by a thunderous explosion. Violent winds surged as the shield shattered instantly.
Before he could react, the second sword beam slashed down.
“Damn it! Get away from me!” Humdwar cursed furiously, brandishing his spear with a deafening roar as it clashed with the sword beam.
Boom!
The space around them trembled as the sword beam was broken, but not without cost- Humdwar spat blood and was hurled backward by the impact.
John’s attacks, infused with the Heaven Law, were far too overwhelming.
At that moment, the third and final massive sword beam descended, blotting out the sky and leaving no room for escape.
Boom!
Another earth-shattering explosion erupted as Humdwar was struck down, his body utterly
destroyed.
Yet, moments later, he resurrected on the spot. His soul was severely damaged, and he couldn’t stop himself from coughing up blood.
“This is impossible!” Humdwar wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at John with wide eyes, his disbelief turning to fear. “Who are you? How can you possibly wield the power of The Heaven Law?”
As a three-star Overseer, Humdwar could only barely sense the existence of the Heaven Law. To master it would require the power of at least a five-star Overseer.
But John was only a two-star Overseer-mastery of such a law should have been utterly out of
his reach.
Buzz!
The surrounding space trembled as powerful sword intent filled the air. Thousands of sword beams shimmered in the void, all imbued with the terrifying power of The Heaven Law.
John didn’t bother wasting words and launched another attack.
“Run!” Humdwar swallowed nervously. The sense of imminent death was overwhelming. If
he took a few more of those attacks, he wouldn’t survive.
Without hesitation, Humdwar retreated into his World-in-Hand space.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands of sword beams rained down, their immense power annihilating everything
around them.
When the dust settled, the area within several kilometers was left in ruins. Humdwar’s figure had vanished without a trace.
“Escaped?” John frowned and activated his Perception Talent, carefully scanning the
surroundings.
At that moment, spatial fluctuations rippled through the air, and Humdwar’s figure
reappeared.
He hadn’t truly escaped-he had only hidden within his World-in-Hand. “Human, the next time we meet, I will kill you!” Humdwar spat out the threat, his expression
filled with dread. A trace of blood lingered on the corner of his lips as he tore open the space
and fled without hesitation.
“Damn it!” John cursed angrily, realizing it was too late to stop him.
If he had known Humdwar was this vulnerable, he would have trapped him in the World-in-
Hand and obliterated him immediately.
John turned his gaze to the other battlefield.
Centeror was proving to be immensely powerful. Despite the combined efforts of Ice
Talker and Terran, they were clearly outmatched. They could only defend themselves
passively, their situation growing increasingly dire.
“You two, leave this one to me,” John called out in a firm tone. Without further delay, he activated the World-in-Hand, trapping Centeror within it.
He feared that Centeror might attempt to escape, but in the World-in-Hand, John had
absolute confidence in his ability to annihilate him.
“Human, how dare you trap me in your World-in-Hand? Such ignorance!” Centeror sneered
disdainfully as he surveyed his surroundings.
Although John’s World-in-Hand was stable and durable, Centeror was confident that he could
destroy it with ease.
“You talk too much,” John replied coldly, not wasting time on pointless banter. With a single
thought, he unleashed the Golden Lotus Hellfire.
Whoosh! Golden flames surged and swept toward Centeror, engulfing him in an instant.
“Hmph! Human, this is useless. Your Hellfire can’t harm me,” Centeror scoffed, waving his
hand casually. Wind elements swirled around him, forming a shield that completely isolated him from the blazing inferno.
John showed no concern. He hadn’t expected the Golden Lotus Hellfire to kill Centeror
outright anyway.
Taking a step back, John summoned the elements around him. The power of laws surged- wind, fire, water, earth, as well as the rare elements of light and darkness.
“Die!” John roared as he unleashed the Wrath of the Gods mage skill.
Inferno Dance!
Wind Blade – Obliteration Slash!
Annihilation!
Holy Light Demon-Buster Blast!
…
A Spell Combo was triggered, unleashing nearly a hundred magic skills. The attacks blanketed
the space, converging on Centeror like a raging storm. “What? The power of The Heaven Law?” Centeror’s expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock. He could clearly feel that all these skills carried the devastating damage
of the Heaven Law.
“Impossible…” The arrogance vanished from his face as fear overtook him. Realizing the danger, he frantically launched his own attacks, desperately trying to shatter John’s World-
in-Hand and escape.
But his efforts were futile. John’s World-in-Hand was remarkably stable, reinforced by the divine skill Creation and Destruction, making it nearly indestructible.
John had previously trapped eleven Overseers in his World-in-Hand, including two three-star Overseers, none of whom had been able to destroy it.
For Centeror to attempt the same alone was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Boom! Boom!
Explosions roared as magic surged, tearing spatial fissures into the surroundings. However,
the cracks were instantly repaired, leaving no room for escape.
Centeror’s figure was quickly overwhelmed by the onslaught. He had no chance to retaliate
and was completely obliterated.
Moments later, he resurrected in place, his face pale as he dropped to one knee. The damage inflicted by the Heaven Law was utterly devastating.
What made matters worse, John’s attacks also carried soul-damaging effects. “Gulp…” Centeror swallowed hard, a deep sense of powerlessness rising within him. Giving
up all resistance, he spoke in despair, “Godslayer, it seems we all underestimated your strength. To kill you… it would take the Lord God himself to intervene…”
His expression was bitter. Overseers were protected by the Heaven Law, which prevented the
Lord God from making a direct move.
It was clear now-John had likely become an invincible existence.
“Smart choice. I’ll make it quick for you,” John said coldly. With a thought, he unleashed his
soul skill, combining Golden Lotus Hellfire with Soul Impact.
Whoosh!
This time, Centeror didn’t resist at all. The golden flames devoured him entirely, his face
contorted in pain as he grimaced.
Immediately after, a surge of powerful soul energy pierced into his mind, mercilessly
crushing his soul.
“Ugh…”
Centeror let out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood ran down the corner of his mouth. His eyes dimmed, and his body collapsed lifelessly to the ground.
[You have slain the Three-Star Overseer Centeror and gained 2.6766 trillion experience
points.]
[Your level has increased to 20,144, earning 48 free attribute points.]
[Plunder talent activated: Heaven Law comprehension +1%, Strength +5000, Spirit +5000,
Skill Points +1000, Luck +1.]
…
The notifications flashed continuously. John’s Plunder talent activated once more, boosting
his Heaven Law comprehension by an additional 1%, bringing it to 13%.
As Centeror’s death marked the end, a Heart of the Continent floated out of his remains. John
collected it casually before turning his attention to the spoils on the ground.
Among the loot were:A Sea Clan treasure set, An Underworld Clan treasure set, A Holy artifact dagger, a piece of equipment suited for assassins.
He stashed all of it without hesitation. With a single thought, he exited the World-in-
Hand and reappeared above Purple Sky City.
By now, countless Hunters had already swarmed toward the city, but the once-damaged city
walls had been fully repaired. The Four Symbols Guardian Formation had been reactivated, bolstered further by the powerful Seven Kill Formation.
These weaker Hunters posed no real threat. To John, they were nothing more than walking
experience points.
“Godslayer, you didn’t actually kill Centeror and the other Overseers, did you?” Ice Talker exclaimed, visibly relieved to see John unharmed.
“No, Humdwar managed to escape,” John replied with a hint of regret.
If he had trapped Humdwar in the World-in-Hand back then, that one wouldn’t have had any
chance of survival either.
