Senren didn’t see the Black Magicians or the others. He stared at John and coldly asked, “Human, how are you still alive? What happened to my Black Magicians?”
With the Demon’s Sky Formation in place, he didn’t believe that the 70,000 Black Magicians could have been defeated.
John looked at him dismissively and coldly replied, “They’re dead.”
“What? Impossible!” Senren glared at him, swallowing hard.
John’s safe return likely meant that those Black Magicians had already perished.
His World-in-Hand must be hiding some secret!
The Nine Phoenix Emperor and the others, upon seeing John suddenly appear, were also in disbelief.
However, this was good news for them. Without the threat of the Demon’s Sky Formation, the remaining Black Magicians and Dark Puppets were no match for them.
“Senren, the situation has changed. We need to join up with Black Raven and the others.” Baron quickly spoke.
Just the two of them were no match for the Nine Phoenix Emperor.
“Alright!” Senren nodded, and the two immediately flew toward Fire Phoenix City at the foot of the mountain.
“You’re not escaping today!” The Nine Phoenix Emperor shouted coldly, decisively charging at the two.
John followed closely behind.
These two were the leaders of Dark City. If they died here, Dark City’s strength would be severely diminished, which was also beneficial for him.
“Quick, stop them!” The two were panicking and immediately ordered the Dark Puppets to block John and the Nine Phoenix Emperor.
Thousands of Dark Puppets rushed forward without hesitation, self-destructing on command.
Boom…
The roar echoed, and a powerful wave of energy swept across, sending John flying through the air.
The Nine Phoenix Emperor didn’t fare much better. Her body was surrounded by trembling flames, and she couldn’t make any progress. She could only watch helplessly as Senren and Baron escaped.
“Damn it, Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens!” she shouted in fury. The flames around her condensed into a massive Fire Phoenix illusion, diving down and pouncing on Senren and Baron.
Boom!
The Fire Phoenix engulfed the two, creating a thunderous roar as the flames surged, mixed with the dark power of the Heaven’s Laws.
The two figures were sent tumbling down the mountain in a disheveled state.
Senren and Baron were severely injured.
Just as the Nine Phoenix Emperor was about to pursue, hundreds of Dark Puppets surged toward her from all directions, self-destructing once more.
“A bunch of idiotic puppets!” she gritted her teeth in anger, doing her best to resist the overwhelming dark energy shockwave. She could only helplessly watch as the two escaped.
“Nine Phoenix Emperor, deal with these puppets first,” John quickly urged.
These puppets weren’t very strong, but their self-destructing tactics were making it unbearable for him.
Moreover, these Dark Puppets wielded the dark power of the Heaven’s Laws, so he didn’t dare to easily collect them into his World-in-Hand.
The Nine Phoenix Emperor glanced at him and said calmly, “Leave it to me!”
Clang!
A sharp buzzing sound reverberated through the sky, like metal clashing.
The flames surrounding the Nine Phoenix Emperor surged, her figure shifting as she directly transformed into her true form.
It was a colossal nine-headed Fire Phoenix.
She soared into the sky, her wings spreading wide, radiating brilliant light that nearly obscured the entire mountain range.
“This is bad, get away quickly!” The Heavenly King’s face changed slightly upon witnessing this, and he urgently warned the others.
John and the others also sensed the change and hurriedly moved to dodge.
Whoosh…
The giant Fire Phoenix flapped its wings, sending a howling wind and scorching heat in every direction. Red fireballs rained down from the sky.
Boom boom…
The fireballs crashed to the ground, causing the mountains to tremble. Flames surged, and the surrounding area was engulfed in a sea of fire. The entire mountain range was transformed into a Fire Mountain, burning fiercely.
Only John and his group remained safe, but the terrifying heat and searing intensity made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
John furrowed his brow, staring at the rising flames. He asked in surprise, “Why do I feel like this fire has a life of its own?”
The Forest King also nodded gravely, acknowledging the strange sensation.
“Essence Fire,” the Heavenly King explained. “This is the Nine Phoenix Emperor’s core flame, which carries a soul’s essence and inflicts soul damage.”
“Soul damage?” John nodded, now understanding. He had sensed it too. The Nine Phoenix Emperor’s core flame reminded him of his own Purple Flame Hellfire, but this fire was far more powerful.
Tens of thousands of Dark Puppets were instantly reduced to ashes, with no chance to self-destruct.
As the flames dispersed, the Nine Phoenix Emperor reverted to her human form and landed in front of the group, coldly saying, “The Celestial Vault dares to attack my Fire Phoenix City? Not a single one shall escape.”
With that, she charged directly toward Fire Phoenix City.
John and the others followed closely behind.
Chaos reigned within the city, which was shrouded in a massive Demon’s Sky Formation. Countless Dark Orbs howled through the air, mixed with Black Demon Bombs, relentlessly bombarding Fire Phoenix City.
The soldiers and adventurers within the city were struggling terribly. The Chaos Emperor could break the Demon’s Sky Formation, but he was currently surrounded by numerous Dark Puppets, all of which self-destructed in succession with constant booming sounds.
He could only passively defend, with no way to fight back.
“Damned Dark City! I swear I’ll make you pay!” The Nine Phoenix Emperor cursed angrily. Her flames surged as she charged directly into the city.
“Seeking death!” Senren’s face darkened. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire
He and Baron had already broken into the city and met up with Black Raven and Purple Cloud. The four leaders joined forces to manipulate the Demon’s Sky Formation, working in unison with overwhelming power.
“Nine Phoenix Emperor, be careful!” The Heavenly King sensed the immense power of the formation and hurriedly warned.
But it was too late. With a deafening boom, the Demon’s Sky Formation rapidly expanded, engulfing the entire Fire Phoenix City, and John’s group was caught within it as well.
Boom boom…
The sky was filled with Dark Orbs, which fell relentlessly, destroying everything in their path.
The Fire Phoenix Emperor was the first target, instantly submerged by the Dark Orbs and Black Demon Bombs.
John and the others were also struggling, doing their best to dodge the attacks from the Demon’s Sky Formation.
“Damn it.” The Heavenly King gritted his teeth and spoke, “John, please stabilize my World-in-Hand!”
With that, he immediately activated his World-in-Hand.
The Demon’s Sky Formation was operating at full capacity, and his World-in-Hand might not be able to block it. He could only rely on John.
Boom boom…
As the World-in-Hand activated, it blocked the impact of the Dark Orbs, but the force was so great that the World-in-Hand trembled violently, and in an instant, it shattered, creating massive space rifts.
John furrowed his brow and quickly activated his Creation and Destruction ability to stabilize the World-in-Hand.
But it was little more than a temporary fix.
As soon as the space rifts were repaired, countless Dark Orbs and Black Demon Bombs came rushing in again.
John frowned, feeling the immense power of the Demon’s Sky Formation. He spoke up, “Forest King, Spoorate and the others are in Fire Phoenix City. Help protect them. I’ll destroy this Demon’s Sky Formation.”
“Understood!” The Forest King nodded quickly in agreement.
The Heavenly King, however, furrowed his brows and quickly warned, “John, you must not! Even a perfectly integrated World-in-Hand can’t stop a Demon’s Sky Formation operating at full capacity.”
John, however, remained completely indifferent. He didn’t pay any attention to the Heavenly King’s warning. With a thought, he activated his World-in-Hand.
Vroom!
Spatial power surged.
Senren noticed this and his eyes lit up. He quickly spoke, “Quick, enter his World-in-Hand. This time, we will definitely crush him!”
John frowned. He didn’t dare to bring Senren and the other three into his World-in-Hand. It was too late to stop them now.
In an instant, the massive Demon’s Sky Formation and the four leaders—Senren included—were all drawn into his World-in-Hand.
“It’s over…” The Heavenly King sighed helplessly as he witnessed this.
The combined power of the four Dark City leaders supporting the Demon’s Sky Formation was terrifying. Even the Chaos Emperor couldn’t easily break it, let alone John.
…
Inside John’s World-in-Hand…
A figure flickered as John appeared in an endless ocean.
Immediately after, dark clouds gathered overhead, obscuring the sky. A powerful wave of dark Heaven’s Laws surged, filling the air with the aura of destruction.
The entire Demon’s Sky Formation and the four leaders—Senren included—were now in the World-in-Hand.
John’s expression grew serious. With a thought, three phantoms swiftly appeared before him—his three main avatars—who then merged into his body.
Whoosh!
The wind howled as the aura surrounding him intensified. The World-in-Hand also began to change.
“Hmm? You really have perfectly fused your World-in-Hand!” Senren noticed the change in John’s aura and exclaimed in shock, his eyes fixed on him.
No wonder he was able to slay those Black Magicians.
A perfectly fused World-in-Hand had self-healing capabilities and was nearly indestructible.
However, with the Demon’s Sky Formation running at full power, even if it couldn’t destroy the World-in-Hand, it would still be enough to annihilate this human.
“Human, your World-in-Hand will be mine. Heavenly Demon, descend!” Senren roared, positioning himself with the other three leaders in the four cardinal directions. Together, they fully activated the formation.
Endless black mist surged, a powerful force of dark Heaven’s Laws that instantly converged, transforming into a massive, grotesque monster. Its size was even larger than John’s.
“So strong!” His expression grew serious. This Heavenly Demon was even more terrifying than the one that had been formed before.
Roar…
An angry roar echoed as the space trembled, and the sea churned violently.
John’s mind buzzed. This gigantic Heavenly Demon even had soul-based attack abilities.
However, this kind of soul attack posed no threat to him.
Buzz!
He didn’t dare to let his guard down. With a thought, the Four Extermination Swords howled out from within him, their sharp killing intent spreading through the air.
“Immortal Sword Formation!”
“United Sword Domain!”
“Return of Ten Thousand Swords!”
The powerful sword intent hummed as he instantly summoned three formidable sword techniques to strike.
Thousands of sword beams flashed and screamed through the air, hurtling toward the Heavenly Demon.
Boom boom…
The repeated booms echoed through the space as the Heavenly Demon’s massive body was pierced by the endless sword beams, leaving it covered in wounds.
But immediately, the dark Heaven’s Laws surged, and the creature’s body quickly regenerated, returning to its original form.
Senren sneered coldly. “Human, it’s useless. As long as the Demon’s Sky Formation is in place, the Heavenly Demon can’t be killed.”
“Is that so?” John frowned, his body surrounded by howling winds, a terrifying force rippling through him. The power he radiated was identical to that of the Demon’s Sky Formation.
“Huh? Darkness Heaven Laws!” The Baron gasped in shock, his eyes locked on John in disbelief. “Impossible. Why is the Darkness Heaven Laws on you so powerful?”
He could sense that John’s Darkness Heaven Laws was even stronger than that of the Celestial Vault.
The Celestial Vault’s Lord had already reached 89% comprehension of the Darkness Heaven Laws. Could it be that this human’s comprehension had surpassed 90%?
Even an Emperor-level powerhouse couldn’t achieve such an extraordinary level of understanding of the Heaven’s Laws.
