334 Chapter 334: The Secret Area Ambush, Battle Against Burning Sky
John’s strength had advanced significantly since his battle with the Lord God puppet.
It had to be the augmentation from the United Sword!
Burning Sky stared at the longsword in John’s hand, his eyes glinting with greed.
“Netherworld Hellfire!” he roared, unleashing his most powerful attack.
Black flames surged into the air, howling as they engulfed John’s massive form in an instant.
A searing pain coursed through him. This black Hellfire didn’t just attack the soul; it also corroded the body. It was even more sinister than his Golden Flame Lotus.
Fortunately, John had already encountered this type of flame’s power through Ice Talker. His Golden Flame Lotus could refine and absorb it, neutralizing its threat to his soul.
With a thought, the Golden Flame Lotus began to circulate within him, absorbing and refining the black Hellfire.
“You’ve mastered the power of Hellfire as well!” Burning Sky exclaimed in shock before gritting his teeth and charging at John again.
“I’ll help you!” Humdwar shouted, knowing he couldn’t defeat John on his own. With a furious cry, he joined the fray.
Buzz!
The spear’s shadow roared through the air, shrouded in the overwhelming power of Eternal Laws, suppressing John’s abilities.
In his own World-in-Hand, Humdwar was nearly invincible.
Facing the combined assault of Burning Sky and Humdwar, along with the occasional sneak attacks from other Overseers, John felt the mounting pressure.
Fortunately, the United Sword had greatly boosted his strength. Without it, he might not have stood a chance against this group.
“Human, in my World-in-Hand, you are doomed!” Humdwar roared, astonished by John’s power but still brimming with confidence in his ability to kill him.
“Die!” Humdwar bellowed again as an endless wave of Eternal Power surged forth, isolating all surrounding laws.
Only his Eternal Laws and Burning Sky’s Netherworld Hellfire could operate in this domain.
“You really think you can trap me?” John sneered, raising the longsword high as Chaos Force and the supreme power of Heaven Laws converged around it.
Heaven Laws, superior to all others, were immune to any suppression.
Chaos Force, the origin of all powers, was equally impervious to Humdwar’s Eternal Laws.
“Creation and Destruction!” John roared, activating the divine skill. The longsword descended with cataclysmic force, carrying an aura of utter annihilation.
Boom!
The longsword tore through the air, splitting the void as chaotic spatial currents surged forth, ravenously devouring Humdwar’s World-in-Hand.
“What’s happening?!” Humdwar’s face turned pale with terror as he finally sensed the danger.
His World-in-Hand trembled violently, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Frantically, he unleashed his Eternal Laws to reinforce the space, but the destructive might of Creation and Destruction rendered his efforts futile.
Burning Sky watched in horror as the world around him disintegrated piece by piece. He was inwardly thankful he hadn’t recklessly pulled this human into his own World-in-Hand.
“Perish!” John roared, swinging the longsword again. Boundless energy erupted, accompanied by the terrifying power of Heaven Laws and Chaos Force.
Humdwar’s World-in-Hand crumbled inch by inch.
“No!” he roared in despair, watching his world disintegrate, his voice filled with panic and helplessness.
Crack!
With a crisp shattering sound, the last remnant of his domain was destroyed, giving way to endless spatial turbulence.
The group was forcefully ejected and reappeared on the Shadow Continent.
Nearby, the sounds of battle rang out. Ice Talker and Terran were entangled with other powerful figures but were holding their ground without any significant danger.
When they saw John emerge unscathed, they exhaled in relief.
Cough! Humdwar materialized, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His face was deathly pale, his eyes fixed on John with seething hatred. “Human, how dare you destroy my World-in-Hand!” he snarled, his voice trembling with rage.
“Hmph, I’ll send you off for good!” John retorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Golden Lotus Hellfire, engulfing Humdwar and the others.
Agonized screams filled the air. Except for Burning Sky, the rest of the group couldn’t withstand the devastating Hellfire.
“Die!” John shouted, giving them no chance to respond. He unleashed Soul Impact, targeting their very essence.
Buzz!
The air quaked as an overwhelming wave of soul energy surged forth like an enormous hammer, slamming into the depths of their souls.
John’s Soul Technique had reached over 6.8 million points, far exceeding the level of a three-star Overseer.
“Watch out! Danger!” Burning Sky sensed the incoming threat and tried to warn Humdwar, but it was too late.
Boom!
Humdwar’s mind was overwhelmed with a deafening hum. Already weakened by the destruction of his World-in-Hand, his soul was critically injured. Before he could react, his soul was obliterated.
[You have slain three-star Overseer Humdwar, earning 2,676.6 billion experience points.]
[Plunder Talent Activated: Acquired God-Tier Spear Mastery Talent, Heaven Law Insight +1%, Attack Speed +10, Physical Crit Chance +10.]
…
The notifications flashed rapidly. Along with Humdwar, seven other Overseers had been completely wiped out.
John’s comprehension of the Heaven Laws increased by another 7%, and he even gained a god-tier spear mastery talent through Plunder.
Although he wasn’t adept with spears, he could pass the skill on to Cand-Dragon or Judy.
Only now did he truly realize the extent of John’s power. John’s ability to kill the Lord God puppet in the Secret Area had not been a fluke.
Is this man really just a two-star Overseer? How can his strength be this overwhelming?
“Now, it’s your turn,” John said icily, not giving Burning Sky a chance to flee. With a flick of his hand, he pulled him into his World-in-Hand.
“Such a stable world… and such dense spiritual power!” Burning Sky exclaimed in shock as he examined his surroundings.
Despite John being only a two-star Overseer, his World-in-Hand rivaled that of a three-star expert.
“Godslayer, I admit I am no match for you, but you cannot kill me either,” Burning Sky said cautiously, trying to negotiate. “I’ll hand over my Spirit Crystals, and we’ll go our separate ways. What do you say?”
John smirked disdainfully. “Begging for mercy now? Too late!” Without hesitation, he gripped the United Sword and launched a ferocious attack.
“Curse you!” Burning Sky roared in anger. Unleashing his full power, he merged the strengths of the Witch Clan and the Beast Clan, causing his body to expand to a size rivaling John’s Heaven and Earth Transformation state.
“What an incredible power!” John muttered in surprise before engaging Burning Sky in close combat.
The two clashed, their raw physical strength colliding with devastating force.
Boom!
Sword met fist in an explosive impact, causing the very space around them to tremble. Both fighters were forced back simultaneously, neither gaining the upper hand.
John frowned, his expression growing serious. “You’ve been hiding your strength all along!”
The current Burning Sky displayed power rivaling that of the Lord God puppet John had fought before.
“Hmph,” Burning Sky sneered. “I was merely using you to deal with the other Overseers. If it weren’t for the ultimate reward of the Immortals’ Secret Area, I would have dealt with you long ago. But in the end, even I was played by the Secret Area.” His eyes gleamed with regret as he clenched his fists, veins bulging along his arms. His bones crackled audibly, and a gust of wind howled around him as he surged forward once more. “Godslayer, I gave you a chance, but you failed to seize it!”
John’s expression turned grim as a sharp sword aura emanated from his body. With a flick of the United Sword, three blazing sword beams tore through the void, slashing down mercilessly.
This time, John wielded the Heaven Laws directly.
Burning Sky faced the incoming sword beams head-on. With a single punch, he shattered one. The second forced him to stagger, and the third struck him squarely.
Boom!
With a resounding crash, Burning Sky was sent flying backward. A thin line of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Despite taking a direct hit from John, the damage he sustained was minimal—a mere light injury.
“What an unbelievably durable body!” John muttered in astonishment. There was something deeply uncanny about Burning Sky, particularly the way the Witch Clan and Beast Clan powers fused within him. The resulting strength bore a striking resemblance to John’s own Heaven and Earth Transformation.
Burning Sky wiped the blood from his mouth, his gaze cold and filled with disdain. “Human, I told you—you can’t kill me.”
Around John, elemental laws surged in unison, radiating immense magical power. Wielding the United Sword, he unleashed an onslaught of magic attacks, each spell cascading like a meteor shower onto Burning Sky.
Burning Sky’s physical resilience was formidable, but John’s attacks dealt percentage-based damage, bypassing sheer toughness. If he could destroy the body, he would target the soul directly.
Spell Combos triggered repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of magical skills that engulfed Burning Sky in a relentless storm of explosions.
Powerful energy surged through the battlefield, causing the space to tremble and fracturing it with spatial rifts.
However, this energy alone was not enough to destroy Burning Sky’s World-in-Hand.
As the magical storm dispersed, Burning Sky’s figure emerged, still standing tall and defiant. Though his injuries had worsened, he refused to fall.
John frowned, his expression heavy. Burning Sky’s body wasn’t just resilient—he clearly possessed advanced regeneration abilities, likely similar to John’s own.
“Cough!” Burning Sky spat out a mouthful of blood, his crimson eyes fixed on John with murderous intensity.
“Human,” he growled. “To be honest, I didn’t want to be your enemy. But you’ve repeatedly tested my patience, and now, you must die!” His face twisted into a snarl as immense power radiated from him, the unmistakable energy of the Sea Clan coursing through his body.
But this was not simply the power of the Sea Clan!
John’s eyes widened in shock. Burning Sky had merged the treasures of three great clans—the Witch Clan, Beast Clan, and Sea Clan.
The most terrifying part was that the laws of the three clans’ powers could seamlessly fuse together.
It was similar to the way John fused elemental laws. But the union of the three racial powers was far stronger.
The combination of Witch Clan and Beast Clan powers had already turned Burning Sky into a giant, making him as strong as John’s Heaven and Earth Transformation.
Now, with the Sea Clan’s power slowly joining the mix, his strength was growing even more terrifying. However, the fusion process was incomplete and unstable.
Burning Sky’s face twisted in pain, his body trembling as he struggled to control the Sea Clan’s power.
I can’t let him succeed!
Sensing imminent danger, John’s sword intent flared, emitting a sharp hum that filled the air. His killing intent surged as countless sword beams shot out, blotting out the sky and raining down on Burning Sky.
Slash! Slash!
The sword beams tore through Burning Sky’s body, splattering blood everywhere. Yet he stood firm, ignoring the attacks as he continued merging the powers of the three clans.
Rumble!
The fusion was finally complete. The combined power of the three clans’ laws resonated with a deafening hum, causing the space around them to quake. Thunder rolled across the battlefield, heralding the rise of something truly monstrous.
“The Heaven Laws!” John gasped in shock. Burning Sky’s fusion of the three clans’ powers bore an uncanny resemblance to the Heaven Laws that John had mastered.
“Die!” With a roar, Burning Sky’s body expanded again, doubling in size. His face contorted into a grotesque snarl as he clenched his massive fists and swung them toward John with overwhelming force.
Boom!
[You have been slain by Witch Clan’s Burning Sky. The Blessed Ring has activated…]
The notification flashed before John as the Blessed Ring resurrected him on the spot. His soul, however, was injured from the attack, leaving him dazed and forcing him to retreat hastily.
Burning Sky’s attacks carried a devastating soul-damaging effect.
“It’s over!” Burning Sky’s voice was filled with fury and confidence. He wasn’t surprised by John’s resurrection and wasted no time. With a single step, he closed the distance and swung his massive fists down again, giving John no chance to recover.
