Black Raven coldly issued his command, directing the Heavenly Demon to charge at John.
He could feel that if this went on for a few more rounds, the dark pearl might not be able to hold up.
Senren and the others understood immediately. They activated the formation with full force, controlling the Heavenly Demon to assault John.
Boom, boom…
The sound of explosions echoed as John dodged frantically, unable to find an opportunity to counterattack.
With the energy of the formation supporting the Heavenly Demon, the attacks were terrifying, and once again, John was blasted away.
The Lifesaver talent activated for the third time.
“Dragon Transformation!” A resounding dragon roar filled the air as John instantly transformed into his dragon form. Under the enhancement of Heaven and Earth Transformation, his attributes were greatly boosted.
The massive divine dragon and the Heavenly Demon collided fiercely.
Torrential energy surged, the sea roiled, and the space shattered.
John’s strength was on par with the Heavenly Demon, but he had to rely on Creation and Destruction to stabilize the World-in-Hand, still finding himself at a disadvantage.
“Human, this time, you will die!” Senren’s expression twisted with malice, his killing intent palpable.
John had destroyed his years of planning, obliterating everything in his territory. Senren had already harbored a deep hatred for him.
This time, no matter what, he was determined to crush him.
Space shattered, and endless The power of laws surged.
John’s strength seemed almost endless, with various techniques continuously unfolding.
Though at a disadvantage, the Heavenly Demon still couldn’t defeat him in a short amount of time.
Moreover, John had the strange Resurrection ability. He had died more than ten times, yet his strength remained unaffected.
Senren and the others grew increasingly alarmed. They couldn’t even begin to imagine how terrifying John would become if he continued to grow stronger.
At this point, the over 100,000 Black magicians who had been maintaining the formation were starting to show signs of exhaustion.
Baron’s expression turned grim. He quickly said, “Black Raven, the energy of the Demon’s Sky Formation is depleting too quickly. We can’t sustain it for much longer. We need to find another way.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Black Raven replied confidently, manipulating the black pearl. It emitted an overwhelming wave of Darkness Heaven laws, reinforcing the operation of the Demon’s Sky Formation.
He coldly stared at John and said, “Human, the dark pearl is the most refined concentration of Darkness Heaven laws. Its power is limitless. You should give up your struggle. I can put you out of your misery.”
“Endless?” John frowned, his eyes fixed on the black pearl hovering in the air.
He could sense that Black Raven was not exaggerating. There was something eerie about this pearl.
Several times, he had used the Darkness Heaven power of laws, but each time, it had been devoured.
Without relying on the Darkness Heaven power of laws, he was unable to destroy the Demon’s Sky Formation.
It was a deadlock.
Boom!
With a mighty crash, he was blasted away once more by the Heavenly Demon.
The Undying and Immortal talent activated. He resurrected at his original position and quickly distanced himself from the battle.
“Senren, it seems I underestimated your strength!” He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze cold as it locked onto Senren and his group.
After all the battles, even with Dragon Transformation and Heaven and Earth Transformation, his strength had been heavily depleted. Despite the Wrath of the Gods talent, he was in no condition to keep fighting.
If this continued, he would undoubtedly die.
If it were just Senren and the others, he would be confident in destroying the Demon’s Sky Formation. But the real threat was that black pearl.
“He can’t hold on much longer. Finish him off and take Fire Phoenix City!” Black Raven said coldly, not giving John any chance to recover.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind howled, stirring up towering waves as the Heavenly Demon charged once again.

“Huh?” John glanced at the raging sea and furrowed his brow, an idea forming in his mind.
Boom!
[You were killed by the Heavenly Demon. The Undying and Immortal talent has been triggered.]
The prompt flashed. Once again, John was struck down by the Heavenly Demon.
He canceled his Heaven and Earth Transformation, his face pale, blood soaking his body.
“What’s wrong? Have you exhausted your strength?” Black Raven’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction, and he let out a breath of relief.
John, however, maintained a calm expression, his gaze still fixed on the massive Heavenly Demon. He spoke slowly, “Let’s see if this Demon’s Sky Formation can withstand the attack of World-in-Hand!”
“Huh?” The others were confused, not understanding what John meant.
“Rise!” John shouted, sensing the ancient divine tree in the Endless Sea.
Everything related to World-in-Hand was under his control. With a thought, he summoned the divine tree.
Boom!
With a tremendous crash, the sea seemed to boil, giant waves crashing down as an overwhelming force tore apart space itself. The heavens crumbled, and seawater surged in reverse.
The terrifying energy instantly engulfed the Demon’s Sky Formation.
“What’s happening? Didn’t you fully fuse with World-in-Hand?” Senren’s expression darkened. He could feel the terrifying force emanating from the attack—it wasn’t just aimed at them, but rather at John’s World-in-Hand.
This power was enough to devour his World-in-Hand.
The furious ocean waves, with their terrifying power, swept through. This force didn’t belong to any known attribute.
Buzz!
The black pearl hummed, uncontrollably devouring the power, trembling violently.
“Not good, my Dark Pearl can’t withstand this!” Black Raven’s expression changed. He immediately tried to retract the black pearl.
“Black Raven, don’t!” Purple Cloud’s face shifted slightly, and he hurriedly warned, but it was too late.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the massive body of the Heavenly Demon shattered into pieces, and the Demon’s Sky Formation was directly destroyed by the violent surging waves.
The Black Magicians stood no chance, instantly submerged by the sea, most of them perishing.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The space trembled as the raging sea raged on, spatial rifts spreading throughout the entire World-in-Hand.
John’s expression grew grim. He couldn’t afford to be careless. Quickly, he activated the divine skill Creation and Destruction to stabilize World-in-Hand.
“Human, let’s call it quits. What if we agree to not interfere with each other?” Black Raven panicked, hastily begging for mercy.
The others, swept away by the waves, tried desperately to escape, but it was futile.
“Hmph, begging for mercy now? It’s too late!” John sneered. The divine tree in his hand expanded rapidly under his mental command, roaring toward Black Raven.
“Be careful!” A purple figure flashed and immediately leaped forward, blocking in front of Black Raven.
Boom!
Blood mist filled the air, instantly washed away by the surging sea, leaving no trace of the body.
[You have killed Purple Cloud. The Plunder talent has been activated.]
[All four basic attributes +1,000,000, Physical Critical Hit +10, Magic Critical Hit +10, Luck +1.]
The prompt flashed. Purple Cloud was instantly killed in a single strike.
“So strong!” John was stunned. Only then did he realize the divine tree in his hand had changed slightly.
Now, the divine tree no longer resembled its previous wood-like appearance. It had turned pitch black, shimmering with a metallic sheen, and now contained powerful The power of laws.
This divine tree, which had been guarding the seabed, had absorbed some of his World-in-Hand’s The power of laws.
However, what intrigued John even more was Black Raven’s identity.
As one of the four great lords of Celestial Vault Dark City, Purple Cloud had not hesitated to place himself in front of Black Raven to protect him.
At this moment, Black Raven’s face was ashen, and his body trembled slightly, clearly startled by the recent attack.
“Black Raven, are you alright?” Senren asked with concern, glancing at John before gritting his teeth. “Human, let us go, and I will overlook everything you’ve done until now.”
“Heh!” John sneered coldly. “Do you think there’s any room for negotiation between me and Celestial Vault?”
His face showed nothing but disdain as he prepared to strike again.
The power of the ocean was terrifying. Even with him using Heaven and Earth Transformation to stabilize things, it wouldn’t hold for long. He had to end this quickly.
Whoosh!
He swung the divine tree in his hand, rapidly enlarging it as it came crashing down toward Black Raven.
“Bastard!” Senren cursed, and without hesitation, he and Baron moved to block in front of Black Raven.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, both of them spat out blood and were sent flying. Even with their combined strength, they couldn’t withstand a single blow from the divine tree.
“Die!” John roared, giving them no time to react. The divine tree came crashing down once again.
Boom!
The waves surged, and World-in-Hand trembled violently.
[You have killed Baron. Plunder talent activated.]
[All four basic attributes +1,000,000, Soul Technique +10,000, Physical Attack Speed +10, Luck +1.]
[You have killed Senren. Plunder talent activated.]
[All four basic attributes +1,000,000…]
The prompt flashed, and John’s strength increased once more.
At this point, only Black Raven remained.
He was terrified, swallowing hard, gritting his teeth as he said, “Human, let me go. I am the son of Celestial Vault. If I fall here, you will die too! You cannot bear the wrath of my father!”
Son of Celestial Vault?
John was surprised. He hadn’t expected Black Raven to hold such a high status.
“I’m willing to gamble!” John replied coldly, showing no fear.
Celestial Vault had already acted against Fire Phoenix City, and the Nine Phoenix Emperor would never let that slide. Besides, his territory, Endless Desert, bordered Dark City. Celestial Vault would never allow his influence to grow. The two sides were already locked in an irreconcilable battle.
Whoosh!
The fierce wind howled, carrying the destructive force of the heavens. The divine tree came crashing down with full force.
“No…” Black Raven’s eyes widened in horror, unable to scream, and was instantly crushed by John’s attack.
[You have killed Black Raven. Plunder talent activated.]
[All four basic attributes +1,000,000, You have gained a Divine-level talent, Dark Rift.]
[Dark Rift: A Divine-level Dark Talent, capable of creating an independent dark space.]
The prompt flashed. John had gained a Divine-level talent, Dark Rift.
This talent seemed somewhat similar to World-in-Hand, but it could directly open up an independent space.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
At that moment, a loud rumble echoed, and the massive waves surged, ruthlessly destroying his World-in-Hand.
He didn’t have time to analyze the new talent’s effect. He quickly tossed the divine tree back into the sea.
Buzz!
A powerful force surged. The divine tree sank into the ocean, calming the tumultuous sea. The surface gradually returned to calm, but huge rifts in space continued to spread.
John couldn’t afford to be careless. He once again activated Heaven and Earth Transformation, turning into a towering giant. The United Sword appeared in his hand, and he continuously activated Creation and Destruction, stabilizing the space.
The sword energy hummed, and enormous spatial power surged.
The space rifts slowly began to close under his repair.
World-in-Hand gradually returned to stability, and John couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“What a pity.” He looked at the calm sea with a regretful expression. He could feel that the divine tree was even more powerful than the massive sword from the Immortals’ legacy. Not only that, but he could use it directly.
However, without the divine tree’s suppression, this sea area would boil with chaos, and his World-in-Hand would never withstand it.
Perhaps, once his strength increased, he’d be able to stabilize this entire oceanic region.
