The prompt information flickered.
A surge of hot energy coursed through John’s body, instantly flowing to every part of him. His cultivation level advanced to the mid-stage of a Two-Star Emperor, and his comprehension of space law saw tremendous improvement. The Space Law Golden Wheel became even more powerful.
Furthermore, his Soul Technique increased by over seven million points.
At this rate, in just a few days, his Soul Technique would surpass one hundred million.
His confidence surged, and his attacks became even fiercer.
Six Golden Wheels of Laws howled through the air as the space trembled, and the enormous White Jade City continued to crash down.
Numerous sword lights flickered around him, filled with immense killing intent.
Soon, all the Emperor-level beasts below Five Stars were slaughtered, leaving only dozens of Six-Star Emperor beasts and two Seven-Star Emperor Ruin Beasts.
John’s strength had increased, but facing so many Six-Star and Seven-Star Emperor beasts was still somewhat taxing.
Whoosh…
At that moment, the wind howled, and from the shattered stone forest, strange black mist poured out and rapidly spread.
The Corrosive Path Black Mist descended once again.
“Dad, leave it to me.” Leisian spoke, a faint flicker of flame dancing around her, effortlessly dispersing the approaching black mist.
Roar, roar…
The beasts, sensing the flames on Leisian, roared angrily, their faces filled with fear.
John was surprised.
It seemed that the little girl’s abilities could also restrain these beasts.
However, he did not take any chances; he would never let Leisian be in danger.
“Nine Heavens Sword, Slash!” He shouted angrily. The United Sword howled as a massive sword light tore through the Void, slashing at the two Seven-Star Emperor Ruin Beasts.
Boom!
With a deafening crash, the two beasts were forcefully pushed back.
John showed no mercy. Six Golden Wheels of Laws spun and shot out. The massive White Jade City crashed down, launching a full-force assault on the remaining Six-Star Emperor beasts.
[You have slain a Six-Star Emperor Soul Devouring Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four basic attributes +100 million points, Soul Technique +2 million points, Corrosive Path Black Mist resistance +1.]
…
The prompt information flickered. These Six-Star Emperor beasts provided more attributes to plunder. His power rapidly increased, especially his Soul Technique, which had now exceeded 60 million points.
Boom, boom…
The sound of explosions echoed as the powerful power of laws spread.
John used every method at his disposal, nearly exhausting all his strength, and finally killed the two Seven-Star Emperor Ruin Beasts.
The remaining few weak giant beasts posed no threat at all and were quickly slaughtered by him.
The surroundings fell into complete silence, the black mist swirling, with no more giant beasts appearing.
John let out a sigh of relief, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
The Corrosive Path Black Mist spread, increasing the difficulty of his search for more beasts.
He glanced at the pile of giant beast corpses around him, too lazy to collect the magic cores. He simply stored everything in his World-in-Hand and decided to let Nine Phoenix and the others handle it.
Inside World-in-Hand, while they were in closed-door cultivation refining the Heart of the Continent, the few people there were startled.
They thought they were under attack by giant beasts again. When they saw the pile of corpses instead, they finally relaxed.
“Seven-Star Emperor Beasts!” Goldflame exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the corpses of two Seven-Star Emperor Ruin Beasts. “This kid can already slay Seven-Star Emperor Beasts?”
Thoublade frowned, feeling equally shocked.
“It should be due to the improvement of World-in-Hand, and the power of laws has also increased. But this kid’s abilities can’t be measured by normal standards,” he said with a sigh. “Though, I’m relieved. I made the right bet. At this rate, John will definitely be able to slay a Creator God.”
“Do you think John is in danger? Could there be Eight-Star or Nine-Star Emperor beasts here?” Merciless asked, still worried as he looked at the giant beast corpses.
John’s strength had grown immensely, but he was definitely not a match for Eight-Star or Nine-Star Emperor beasts.
“No.” Thoublade replied, “Kaos is in a bad situation right now. I sensed earlier that he’s being attacked by two Creator God-level experts. He can’t afford to pay attention to this place, and all the Eight-Star and Nine-Star Emperor beasts have been summoned into the Void by him to fend off the invasion of other Creator Gods and protect this star domain.”
“No wonder we haven’t encountered any Eight-Star or Nine-Star Emperor experts,” Nine Phoenix thought about the strange phenomena when they first arrived in the Kaos star domain and felt relieved.
Fortunately, Kaos was too preoccupied to attack them, or they would have been dead for sure.
Thoublade glanced at the giant beast corpses and said, “I hope this kid really has a way to improve his Soul Technique. At least, he should be able to grasp Soul Law in a short time. If Kaos realizes what’s going on, we’re in serious trouble.”
The others nodded in agreement, their expressions serious.
“I’ll collect the magic cores. You all continue your cultivation.” Heavenly King changed the subject, standing up. He had already refined the Heart of the Continent and condensed World-in-Hand, so further cultivation wouldn’t lead to any improvements.
“I’ll help you too.” Cand-Dragon and Forest King also stood up and said.
Whoosh…
At that moment, the wind howled, and waves of power from the laws surged. Highshield woke from his meditation, and the aura around him was even stronger than before.
“A perfectly integrated World-in-Hand?” The others looked at him, shock written all over their faces, and they gasped in surprise.
He had refined the Heart of the Continent and resumed his cultivation. Despite being a One-Star Overseer, he had directly formed a perfectly integrated World-in-Hand.
He, too, was surprised. He spoke, “It’s because of this human. I have gained partial World-in-Hand authority from him.”
When John had previously resisted the giant beasts, he had granted Highshield partial World-in-Hand authority, which he had not yet taken back.
An ordinary Overseer would need to acquire various treasures, like the Tree of Life, the Law Tree, or the Immortal Giant Sword legacy here, to fully integrate World-in-Hand.
But Highshield had only obtained partial authority over World-in-Hand from John. Receiving the blessing of the power of laws here, even as a One-Star Overseer, he was able to perfectly integrate World-in-Hand. This was definitely an unprecedented feat.
“Could this affect John’s World-in-Hand?” Gaka spoke up, his gaze toward Highshield cold and suspicious.
The others also cast wary glances at him, doubting that he might have devoured John’s World-in-Hand laws.
Highshield grew angry and coldly replied, “I didn’t actively absorb the power of laws here. If it’s really a problem, I’ll just let that brat devour my World-in-Hand again.”
The others frowned. It was indeed a feasible option, but such an action would be excessive.
Highshield’s World-in-Hand had already been devoured once. Now that he had just become a One-Star Overseer and integrated World-in-Hand, if it were devoured again, it could very well endanger his life.
Thoublade spoke, “That’s unnecessary. Just handle these giant beast corpses.”
He could sense that the World-in-Hand wasn’t affected, and since John had already broken through to Eight-Star Overseer, there was no need to devour other Overseer’s World-in-Hand anymore.
“Hmph!” Highshield snorted coldly. These people clearly still harbored hostility toward him, worried that he might devour John’s World-in-Hand laws.
He was displeased but didn’t say anything more, quietly starting to handle the giant beast corpses.
He gazed at the two Seven-Star Emperor Ruin Beast corpses, still in shock. Even at his peak, he would have been unable to slay a Seven-Star Emperor Beast.
This human is terrifying!
The others continued their closed-door cultivation, working on improving their World-in-Hand, while he silently processed the giant beast corpses.
…
In the Godslayer Monument Forest space, John once again slaughtered a batch of giant beasts, totaling over ten thousand.
“My Soul Technique has finally broken through to one hundred million points!” He felt a surge of joy in his heart. He had gained a much clearer perception of Spiritual Power and successfully comprehended Soul Law.
But to form the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws, he knew that this was still far from enough.
Thoublade had said that comprehending Soul Law didn’t necessarily mean he could devour Kaos’ Sea of Laws. He had to condense the Golden Wheel of Laws to be absolutely certain.
“Continue!” He surveyed his surroundings and kept searching for giant beasts to hunt.
For others, improving Soul Technique might be difficult, but with his Plunder talent, and given that there were so many Soul Devouring Beasts here, increasing his Soul Technique was a breeze.
During the past few days of battles, not only had his Soul Technique improved, but his cultivation had also reached the late stage of Two-Star Emperor. His power had significantly increased, and he was on the verge of breaking into the Three-Star Emperor level.
At this moment, the Corrosive Path Black Mist dissipated, and the surroundings fell back into complete silence.
He had already discovered the pattern of the Corrosive Path Black Mist: it appeared once every three days. When the mist arrived, the giant beasts here became extraordinarily violent.
He continued to wander through the space, his Soul Technique growing stronger, and his spiritual power becoming even more formidable.
Soon, he discovered another group of giant beasts gathered together, around a thousand in total, with the strongest among them being a few Six-Star Emperor beasts.
Without hesitation, he made his move, slaughtering them mercilessly.
[You have slain a Three-Star Emperor Soul Devouring Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four basic attributes +5 million points, Soul Technique +200,000 points, Corrosive Path Black Mist resistance +1.]
[You have slain a Three-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four basic attributes +10 million points, Corrosive Path Black Mist resistance +1.]
…
The prompts kept flashing. With his current strength, dealing with beasts below the Five-Star Emperor level was a piece of cake.
Several Golden Wheels of Laws howled through the air, and in an instant, these beasts were all slain.
He casually stored the beast corpses in his World-in-Hand and continued searching for more.
As he kept slaughtering the giant beasts, his four basic attributes, Soul Technique, and comprehension of space law skyrocketed.
In just a few days, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Three-Star Emperor, his Soul Technique had surpassed 130 million points, and his understanding of Soul Law had improved, though he still hadn’t formed the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws.
However, his space law had undergone a significant enhancement, particularly his space law golden wheel, which was now the most powerful of all the Golden Wheels of Laws he had mastered.
“Dad, the Corrosive Path Black Mist is back,” Leisian, sitting on his shoulder, said in a somewhat bored tone as she looked at the black mist pouring out from the shattered stone tablets.
Over the past few days, she had been following John around, either slaughtering giant beasts or on her way to do so.
She had lost interest, only feeling like she could be of help when the Corrosive Path Black Mist appeared.
John affectionately rubbed Leisian’s head and said, “Are you bored? You can go back to World-in-Hand and keep your mother company.”
“No,” she replied decisively. “Mom won’t be in danger. I want to stay with you, and I can help you disperse this evil black mist.”
