Sini and the others found themselves struggling against the eight-star experts.
The three of them nearly exhausted all their strength, managing to hold off three of the eight-star experts.
There were still seven others charging at John.
“You will all die today!” A furious shout rang out as the group surrounded John.
At this moment, John’s strength was enough to handle eight-star experts, but facing the siege of seven people, he was still in constant danger, with no real way to counterattack.
“Spoorate!” he called out, reminding his companion. The giant sword inherited from The Immortals reappeared in his hand.
Spoorate understood immediately. She jumped onto his arm and gently stroked the giant sword.
“Slash!” With all his might, John swung the giant sword. A powerful gust of wind howled, the space itself trembled, and the overwhelming sword intent vibrated with a hum.
The others’ faces turned serious. They realized the sheer terror of this strike and quickly banded together to resist it.
Boom!
The giant sword slashed down, shattering the space. The group was knocked back, but they didn’t sustain any injuries.
“Kid, you sure have a lot of treasures on you!” One of them stared at the giant sword in John’s hand.
He could sense that the immense power behind the strike came entirely from this sword.
“Whoever kills this human, the spoils will be theirs!” one of them called out, charging straight at John.
“I agree.”
“This is definitely mine.”
The others immediately went into a frenzy, disregarding everything in their pursuit of John’s treasures.
A powerful surge of the power of laws erupted, and terrifying energy crashed towards John like a violent tidal wave.
John’s expression darkened as he swung The Immortals’ giant sword to block as much as he could.
Several strands of the power of laws intertwined, with continuous booming sounds. John was forced to retreat repeatedly, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
Relying on The Immortals’ inheritance, he still had the strength to fight one or two eight-star experts, but against the siege of seven, he was completely outmatched.
These people were acting as if they had lost their minds, determined to kill him and steal his treasures.
“Big Brother, what should we do?” Spoorate also sensed the severity of the situation. She wanted to help, but there was little she could do.
John gritted his teeth and spoke, “Wait for your father’s rescue.”
He glanced at Great Bear, who was also in a perilous position.
Nick, in league with the man in the black robe, had sealed off the entire area. Dark power of laws surged, and the terrifying Black Demon Bomb was wreaking havoc, destroying Great Bear’s World-in-Hand with abandon.
If it weren’t for his use of Creation and Destruction to stabilize the space, he would have been finished by now.
But even so, he couldn’t hold on much longer.
Sword Demon and the others were entangled with the man in the black robe, and the situation was far from optimistic.
At this point, the only thing he could rely on was The Immortals’ giant sword. However, swinging the massive weapon consumed an enormous amount of energy. Even with Spoorate’s help, they couldn’t last much longer.
“Take them down one by one!” he said, his expression turning cold as he locked eyes with one of the eight-star experts holding a giant axe. This man was also a Lord of Advanced City.
Whoosh!
The longsword whistled through the air, carrying immense pressure as it came crashing down.
“Don’t interfere, leave him to me!” The axe-wielder’s face lit up with excitement. He was eager to claim John’s treasures and charged at him without hesitation.
A smirk curled on John’s lips, filled with disdain.
If all seven of them teamed up, he would be no match for them. But with only one coming at him, it was impossible for this person to withstand the attack from The Immortals’ giant sword.
Buzz…
The space trembled as several massive flows of the power of laws surged around the giant sword. With a powerful swing, the sword came crashing down.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed through the air, shaking the heavens. The figure of the man with the giant axe flew backward, blood spilling from his mouth. It was clear he had sustained serious injuries.
“This guy is too strange. Everyone, attack together and end this quickly!” One of the attackers noticed John’s overwhelming strength and became cautious. He joined forces with a few others to launch a full-out assault.
John felt the pressure intensify. He fell into a defensive stance, swinging the giant sword desperately to block the combined attacks from the others.
“Damn it!” he cursed inwardly. The sword strikes were powerful, but the cost of maintaining them was terrifying.
His spiritual power, necromantic energy, and Chaos Force were rapidly draining away.
At this rate, if his strength ran out, he would surely die.
“Great Bear, are you going to stand there or what? How long are you going to take to deal with those black-robed men?” he yelled, glancing at Great Bear, who was still entangled with the black-robed figures. Frustration seeped into his voice.
The situation around him was worsening. Sini and Tracy had already been injured.
And he still had to keep using Creation and Destruction to stabilize Great Bear’s World-in-Hand.
He had thought that Great Bear would easily handle the black-robed men, but reality was far from that.
Great Bear was also deeply anxious. The Black Magicians from the Celestial Vault were too cunning, trapped in the dark realm, severely hindering his abilities.
On top of that, Nick was a nine-star expert, as strong as he was, and it was impossible to defeat these enemies in a short time.
He had also realized that John and his group were nearing their limits. Gritting his teeth, he made the decision to take a risky gamble.
“Kid, whatever happens, stabilize the World-in-Hand for me, or we’re all going to die!” Great Bear growled, his hair standing on end as a terrifying aura surrounded him.
Boom!
Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky, dark clouds spread across the heavens, and Great Bear let out a roar that shook the world. The pressure around him intensified with each passing moment.
“You have such a powerful ability, why didn’t you use it sooner?!” John shouted in frustration. He could clearly feel that, at this moment, Great Bear was powerful enough to crush the black-robed figures.
But just as he thought that, his expression changed.
Crack, crack…
The thunderstorm raged, lightning flashing everywhere, wreaking havoc on everything around them.
In an instant, Great Bear’s World-in-Hand was filled with cracks, teetering on the edge of collapse.
“This is bad!” John realized what was happening and urgently activated Creation and Destruction, trying to stabilize the World-in-Hand as best as he could.
“Bear Overlord, descend!” With a fierce roar, the clouds swirled as if the heavens themselves were being torn apart. Great Bear’s body suddenly expanded, growing to a size comparable to John’s Heaven and Earth Transformation.
However, the aura around him was even more terrifying. The space itself shattered as chaotic energy surged. Above him, the sound of thunder rumbled, as though an ancient, terrifying beast had descended from the heavens.
“Die!” He roared, lifting his palm, which blotted out the sky and came crashing down.
Boom!
The ground beneath his feet shattered, and hundreds of black-robed figures were instantly turned to nothing but a bloody paste. Nick, too, was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
At the same time, John’s pressure did not lessen—in fact, it grew even greater.
When Great Bear’s palm descended, space itself shattered, and the World-in-Hand collapsed.
John dared not hesitate. He immediately broke free from the siege of the eight-star experts, sheathed The Immortals’ giant sword, and drew out the United Sword, once again using Creation and Destruction.
Buzz!
The sword hummed as an enormous blade of energy cut through the air, just barely stabilizing the collapsing world around them.
John let out a sigh of relief. He could feel that the power Great Bear was using now came from the World-in-Hand, but that same World-in-Hand was unable to withstand the terrifying force.
Without John’s intervention, this technique would have been impossible to use.
Boom!
Another thunderous roar sounded as Great Bear slammed his fist down, obliterating a large group of black-robed figures.
Immediately after, the space that John had just stabilized shattered once again, and he nearly got swallowed by the chaotic space currents.
He quickly regained his balance, gritting his teeth as he once again activated Creation and Destruction, constantly repairing the broken space.
World-in-Hand was continuously being destroyed and then restored by John.
Soon, sweat began to bead on John’s forehead. He gritted his teeth and snapped, “Forest King, watch yourself! This is your World-in-Hand. If it’s destroyed, the one who’ll suffer is you.”
“You were the one who told me to end this quickly, right? Now that I’m doing it, you’re not happy?” came Great Bear’s discontented voice, yet his attacks didn’t slow down. Instead, they grew even more violent.
Since he had mastered the Bear Overlord’s divine skill, Great Bear had never used it before. His World-in-Hand couldn’t handle this kind of power. He had thought it was an useless skill, but now, encountering John’s situation, he realized the potential.
With no worries holding him back, he destroyed everything in his path without hesitation.
Even Nick, the nine-star expert, was nothing more than a helpless victim before him.
“Hmph, a bunch of ants daring to challenge my authority—this is suicide!” Great Bear’s voice thundered as he continued his relentless assault, sending shockwaves through the air. The black-robed figures were slaughtered mercilessly.
Nick dodged in panic, filled with terror. He never imagined that Great Bear could possess such a terrifying ability.
However, he quickly realized something was wrong.
Great Bear’s strength was coming from his World-in-Hand, but that same World-in-Hand couldn’t withstand his attacks any longer. If they killed that human, Great Bear would no longer be able to maintain this state.
With that thought, he hurriedly commanded, “Forget about Great Bear for now, focus on killing that human.”
At his command, the others around them reacted immediately and charged toward John.
“Who dares?!” Great Bear roared in fury. He took a step forward, and his enormous palm, like a giant fan, blotted out the sky as it came crashing down.
John looked up at the shadow looming over him, his heart pounding in fear. He hurriedly protected Spoorate and retreated in panic.
Boom!
The earth shook violently, and a terrifying force swept over the area. John had already moved far enough, but he was still caught in the blast. He coughed up blood and was thrown through the air.
“Damn it!” He glared at Great Bear and cursed, “Are you trying to crush both me and Spoorate under that attack?”
“Heh heh, I couldn’t hold back. Hurry up and stabilize World-in-Hand, I’ll continue,” Great Bear said, his voice filled with excitement and not the slightest trace of remorse.
“F*ck…” John’s curse was interrupted as the shattered space swept toward him.
He couldn’t afford to waste time. He once again activated Creation and Destruction, trying to stabilize the fractured World-in-Hand.
Great Bear charged ahead, thunder crashing around him. A terrifying aura filled the air. With every movement, mountains crumbled and space shattered. The black-robed figures in his path were crushed into meat paste.
John stayed close behind, continuously using Creation and Destruction to repair the space and stabilize the World-in-Hand.
At first, Great Bear was somewhat cautious. But when he noticed that John could use such a powerful skill without any noticeable gaps or energy depletion, he felt no more hesitation. He went all out, unrestrained.
Boom!
The entire World-in-Hand trembled violently. The black-robed figures and Thunderstrike, among others, met horrific fates, almost all of them turned into nothing but blood and flesh.
Even the nine-star expert, Nick, was ruthlessly crushed. His body was covered in blood, and despite multiple attempts to escape, Great Bear pulled him back every time.
“Die!” It seemed Great Bear had grown bored of the fight. Losing interest, he grabbed Nick with a powerful hand, and with overwhelming strength, he slammed his fist down.
“Despicable human, the Celestial Vault will never forgive you!” Nick shouted in despair, his eyes locked onto John as he gritted his teeth and cursed.
