“Senior, help me!” John cried out urgently.
Once again, he had been struck down by Senren. Although he had the Undying and Immortal talent, the consecutive Resurrections had left him severely wounded.
Gaka quickly reacted. Ignoring Medusa, he seized the Sea God Trident and, with the howling winds, thrust it toward Senren.
“Get out of my way!” Senren’s face twisted with rage as he shouted. Dark, endless power surged around him, forming a massive shield in an attempt to block Gaka’s attack.
Boom!
With a resounding crash, the dark shield shattered, and Senren vomited blood, flying backward.
“Die!” Gaka’s strike landed without hesitation, giving Senren no chance to react. He swung the Sea God Trident, causing the very air to tremble as it smashed down with force.
“Gaka, don’t think I won’t dare to kill you!” Senren’s face twisted into a snarl, and a towering black staff appeared in his hand.
He opened his mouth and coughed up more blood, splattering it onto the staff.
Instantly, the power of dark laws surged, and the surrounding area was plunged into pitch darkness, as if the end of the world had arrived.
“Chaos of Demons!” Senren roared. The dark space echoed with the cries of ghosts and wolves as endless black mist swirled and coalesced into monstrous, demonic figures. These creatures bared their fangs, claws, and howled as they lunged at everyone.
“Stay behind me,” Gaka instructed. He could feel the terrifying power of dark laws contained in these monsters.
Other than himself and John, no one here could withstand them.
The group didn’t hesitate and quickly gathered behind him.
“Devastating Sweep!” Gaka gripped the Sea God Trident with both hands and swung it in a sweeping motion. The air trembled as massive shockwaves surged forward.
Boom… Boom…
The shockwaves swept through the horde of demons, instantly disintegrating them into nothingness, without a single one managing to harm the group.
“Senren, do you truly think that mastering these dark, twisted arts can allow you to challenge a Ten-Star Emperor? Prepare to be annihilated!” Gaka’s body radiated with terrifying energy. He raised the Sea God Trident high and brought it down with all his might.
His target wasn’t just Senren, but the entire space itself.
He intended to destroy the entire Tower of Death.
“You dare!” Senren sensed his intent and, disregarding everything else, charged forward to stop him.
Buzz!
A constant humming noise rang out as the space trembled violently. The moment Gaka’s attack made contact, Senren spat out blood and was violently blasted away.
Crack, crack…
The space shattered, and endless chaotic currents surged through it, but it was slowly being repaired.
“Just missed it,” Gaka murmured with regret. His breath was weak, and he half-knelt on the ground, using the Sea God Trident to prop himself up to avoid collapsing.
He had been bound by chains for thousands of years, and only just broke free. His strength was almost completely depleted. The attack he had just launched had drained almost all of his power.
“Haha, Gaka, you will never escape my control!” Senren watched with delight as the shattered world began to slowly repair itself.
Fortunately for him, his Tower of Death was not an ordinary World-in-Hand.
“Senior, leave this to me!” At that moment, John made his move.
He too could not destroy this world, but Gaka’s full-force attack had already left it severely damaged. Now, it was enough for him to break through.
Whoosh!
A howling wind swept through as his massive figure loomed, towering above all. He raised the United Sword high, and a terrifying surge of energy radiated from it, carrying an overwhelming destructive aura.
“Mm?” Senren’s expression grew serious, a sense of dread creeping into his heart. He wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
“Creation and Destruction!” John roared, bringing the longsword down with incredible force, releasing a devastating sword beam.
Crack, crack…
The sword beam slashed through the air, and the space shattered inch by inch, unable to be repaired in time.
The world, which had already been on the verge of collapse from Gaka’s previous strike, could no longer hold together. Under John’s Creation and Destruction attack, it immediately fell
apart.
Whoosh…
The terrifying chaotic currents of space surged, pulling the group into them, while the other demons imprisoned in the Tower of Death were also sucked in.
In addition to the Immortal King, there were three other nine-star powerhouses.
“Haha, finally free!”
“Let’s go!”
…
Excited voices echoed as the demons glanced at the group before scattering and fleeing in all directions.
“Bastard!” Senren saw this and was filled with uncontrollable rage. He tried to stop them, but it was already too late. Cursing under his breath, he charged at John.
“Your opponent is me!” Gaka moved in an instant, positioning himself between John and Senren, the enormous trident descending with a thunderous crash.
Boom!
Senren had no way to resist, and was once again sent flying by the impact.
“Damn it!” His eyes burned with fury as he glared at Gaka, his breathing erratic. He wiped the
blood from his mouth and coldly said, “None of you will escape.”
Without waiting for a response, his figure disappeared.
John froze, confused. “Did that guy escape?”
“Cough!” Gaka suddenly coughed up blood, his expression weakened.
“Senior.” John looked at him, surprised.
Gaka was a Ten-Star Emperor, yet he had been injured in his battle against Senren.
Shaking his head, Gaka spoke, “That guy didn’t escape. He’s trying to seal the area. We need
to leave this place.”
John was stunned. “Senior, are you saying that even you are no match for Senren?”
Gaka sighed in resignation. “If I were at my peak, I would naturally not fear him. Furthermore, the strongest in Dark City are not these few lords, but the Black Magicians.” “Black Magicians?” John asked, puzzled. He had crossed paths with Black Magicians before, and the most powerful among them was only at the Eight-Star level, hardly a threat to him. Gaka nodded and continued, “The Black Magicians themselves are not very powerful, but when they join forces, they can set up a formation, the Demon’s Sky Formation. Once, even four Emperors teamed up and couldn’t break it, and the Nine Phoenix Emperor nearly
perished in it.”
Demon’s Sky Formation?
John was confused. He had never heard of this formation, but any formation that could threaten a Ten-Star Emperor was undoubtedly formidable.
It was probably even stronger than the The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.
He remembered his previous encounters with the Black Magicians. They were indeed skilled in forming arrays, and he had suffered because of it. Fortunately, at that time, he had been able to rely on Spoorate’s power and wield the gigantic sword passed down by The Immortals,
which saved him.
“Medusa!” Gaka’s gaze fixed on Medusa, who was hiding in the back, seemingly waiting for
the chance to escape.
Medusa trembled, knowing that escape was no longer possible. He stepped forward, kneeling with a thud, holding out a crown with both hands, his voice full of fear. “Master, I offer this
crown. Please spare my life.”
John finally remembered this person, and his expression darkened.
Medusa’s treachery was even worse than that of the Dark Humans they had encountered
before.
Killing intent radiated from Gaka, but he ultimately managed to restrain himself.
He raised his hand, and the crown flew into his grasp. Coldly, he said, “Medusa, here’s your
last chance. Take us out of here. If you dare play any more tricks, I promise you will regret ever
being born.”
Dark City had a complicated terrain, and the only one who could help them escape from the
Black Magicians was Medusa.
Gulp!
Medusa swallowed hard, his face lighting up with hope. “Master, don’t worry. I will definitely
get you all out of here.”
“Senior, I still need to save two people,” John quickly spoke up. His purpose in coming here
was to rescue Jean and Nature God.
No matter what, he had to save them.
“Alright, we’ll save them first.” Gaka hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement,
then sighed with some regret. “I rather like that little girl. If her talent had been higher, I would have considered passing the Sea God legacy to her.”
As he spoke, a deep sigh escaped him. He had been imprisoned in the Tower of Death for a thousand years, and the dark power had already invaded his soul through the chains. He had little time left.
Now, all he hoped for before his demise was to find a suitable successor for the legacy.
He couldn’t help but glance at John. This human could barely wield the Sea God Trident, but
he was still a potential candidate.
Meanwhile, Medusa’s expression darkened, his rage boiling inside. He had long coveted the Sea God legacy and had devoted himself to serving Gaka for many years. Yet in the end, he was
still less favored than an outsider.
He was unwilling to accept this. No matter what, he would seize the Sea God legacy for
himself.
Gaka seemed to sense his thoughts. He glanced at Medusa, his voice cold as he said, “Let’s go.
We’ll save them first.”
Medusa quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, his expression becoming humble. He
spoke, “Master, I know where they are imprisoned. Follow me.”
With that, he tore through the chaotic space currents and stepped forward, leading them to
the abandoned high-rise building.
He pointed upwards and said, “Master, the people you’re looking for are imprisoned on the
top floor of this building, by Senren.”
John immediately prepared to act. However, at that moment, Senren appeared, leading a
large group of Black Magicians.
“You can’t even protect yourselves, and you still think you can save others? None of you will
escape today. Form the formation!” Senren’s face darkened as he shouted. Thousands of Black Magicians surrounded the group, trapping them.
“You, go save them. Leave these guys to me!” Gaka sneered, taking the first step to attack
Senren.
John didn’t hesitate. He immediately charged into the abandoned building.
Whoosh!
A howling wind swept through, and dark powers surged as dozens of Black Magicians immediately moved to intercept him.
“Get out of my way!” John shouted furiously. He unleashed the divine skill Heaven and Earth Transformation, transforming into a towering giant. His longsword swept through the air, releasing thousands of sword beams that flickered as they instantly broke through the
encirclement.
“Forget about him. Set up the formation!” Senren hurriedly ordered. He was no match for Gaka, and was forced to evade his attacks, clearly in a state of distress. The Black Magicians immediately abandoned John and focused on forming a powerful formation. The surrounding dark powers gathered, and a terrifying array slowly began to take
shape.
“Creation and Destruction!” John roared, swinging his longsword. A massive sword beam, filled with an unstoppable momentum, howled as it slashed down.
The sword beam cut through the air, shattering the space and causing the dark powers that
had just been gathered to collapse in an instant. Seizing the opportunity, John charged into the highest floor of the building.
Four Eight-Star Black Magicians stood guard there, and they immediately charged at him.
“Die!” John bellowed, the surrounding sword intent humming as he activated the United
Sword Domain. A terrifying aura of murderous intent filled the air, and thousands of sword beams howled, directly engulfing the four magicians.
In a single exchange, the four Eight-Star powerhouses were heavily wounded.
Boom!
John didn’t spare them another glance. He immediately broke open the secret room at the top
of the building, reverting from his Heaven and Earth Transformation state.
