Under the Tree of Life, Merciless and the others were in closed-door cultivation, comprehending the power of the laws.
They noticed John’s aura and immediately stopped their cultivation.
“John, we have perfectly integrated with World-in-Hand. Do you think this has affected your World-in-Hand in any way?” Merciless quickly asked.
Over the past few days, they had significantly enhanced their strength through comprehending the power of the laws, and all of them had perfectly integrated with World-in-Hand.
John took a moment to sense his surroundings and replied, “Don’t worry, there’s no effect. In fact, I can feel that your presence has actually made my World-in-Hand more stable.”
“Really? Is it because you absorbed Kaos’s Sea of Laws?” Gaka questioned, still uncertain. He didn’t think this was the reason.
If an Overseer absorbing the power of the laws could stabilize World-in-Hand, why would the Creator Gods ever massacre the Overseers?
“This is true,” came the voice of Highshield from one of the massive red-green fruits hanging from the Tree of Life.
He and Thoublade’s Remnant Souls had merged into the fruit.
As the fruit ripened, they too would be reborn.
John looked at the fruit where Highshield’s soul resided, confused. He wasn’t sure how Highshield knew this, nor did he understand how this process worked.
Highshield explained, “We refined the power of the laws from your World-in-Hand with the intent to protect it. But those Overseers, on the other hand, were thinking only of improving their own strength, even plotting against the Creator Gods. Their purposes were entirely different. Now it seems that the Creator Gods’ methods were flawed.”
Upon hearing his words, the others fell silent. They had indeed shared the same mindset.
“Is that so?” John furrowed his brow, sensing something in his heart.
“John, what’s going on outside?” At that moment, the voice of Thoublade came from the other fruit.
John explained, “Kaos has been slain. Now, a large number of beasts are descending upon Kaos’s star domain, slaughtering life. It seems they intend to destroy these planets.”
“Kaos is finally dead? Hmph, he deserved it!” Highshield’s voice came through, filled with satisfaction as if avenging a great grudge.
With Kaos’s main body destroyed and only two of his Nine-Star Emperor clones remaining—Abyss and Merciless’s ancestor—both at the peak of Nine-Star Emperor, they were powerless to stop what was unfolding.
Thoublade continued, “John, this is also an opportunity for you. Devour the planets and raise yourself to Nine-Star Overseer. Once you condense one more Golden Wheel of Laws, you will be eligible to create a world.”
John nodded, agreeing with this assessment.
“Master, these two fruits look quite delicious,” came Dulu’s voice from the side. He was eyeing the two red fruits with a greedy expression, unable to resist swallowing.
Both of them were startled. The two fruits were now their physical bodies, and their souls resided within them.
“John, get this big oaf out of here!” Thoublade’s voice rang out. Dulu’s gaze sent a chill down his spine.
Highshield was also furious, shouting, “You dare! Do you believe I won’t kill you?!”
Dulu was unafraid, replying indifferently, “I’m not scared. You two little weaklings!”
“Shit…” The two cursed angrily, their fruits trembling violently.
Dulu’s words directly riled them up. Though their powers had disappeared for now, they had once been mighty. How could they tolerate such an insult?
“Bastard, when I’m reborn, the first thing I’ll do is break both your arms!” Highshield roared angrily.
John shot Dulu a glare, then looked at the violently shaking fruits, quickly trying to calm the two down. “Senior brothers, please don’t be angry. Your physical bodies are still not fully formed. If they drop now, you might end up as a child.”
“Well, I like children,” Leisian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, excitedly saying.
Hearing John’s words, the two immediately quieted down. They were both powerful beings; if they were truly reincarnated as children, it would be a huge embarrassment, and they would rather die than endure such humiliation.
Leisian, on the other hand, looked a little disappointed by their reaction.
“Alright, continue your cultivation and strengthen your power. I’ll break through to Nine-Star Overseer as soon as possible,” John interrupted them.
With Kaos slain, the three Creator Gods couldn’t yet descend upon this star domain.
However, the situation was still far from optimistic. The Galaxy Star Domain had been exposed, and John could feel that the coordinates of the Galaxy Star Domain would not remain hidden for long. The Creator Gods would surely find a way to track it down.
He needed to quickly reach Nine-Star Overseer, condense the Life and Order Golden Wheels of Laws, and create a world so that he could have the strength to confront the Creator Gods.
He thought for a moment, then left World-in-Hand and descended once again into Kaos’s star domain.
Roar, roar…
Furious roars echoed as his figure appeared, and countless powerful beasts immediately surged toward him.
John looked on with disdain, summoning the Golden Wheel of Laws. Sword lights surged around him, and he immediately began the slaughter.
Having killed the Nine-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast and refined its Sea of Laws, his power had increased dramatically, making him more than capable of dealing with Eight-Star Emperor beasts.
Even though he wasn’t yet a match for Nine-Star Emperor beasts, he was no longer in danger of his life.
Currently, the most powerful creatures in Kaos’s star domain were only Nine-Star Emperor-level, and they posed no threat to him.
Now, with no worries in the back of his mind, he went on a rampage, slaughtering the beasts, plundering their attributes, comprehending their laws, and further enhancing his strength.
…
[You have killed a Seven-Star Emperor Soul Devouring Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four basic attributes +200 million points, Soul Technique +5 million points.]
[Your Soul Technique has reached 200 million points, and you have condensed the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws.]
A prompt flashed, and after killing a large number of Soul Devouring Beasts, his Soul Technique had increased, breaking through the 200 million mark once again, allowing him to condense the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws.
Not only that, but his strength had also received a significant boost, now reaching the late stage of Six-Star Emperor. He could easily handle Eight-Star Emperor beasts.
However, he still hadn’t condensed the Order Golden Wheel of Laws.
He had now condensed nine Golden Wheels of Laws. As soon as he reached Nine-Star Overseer and merged the Golden Wheels of Laws, he would be able to create a world.
He still hadn’t condensed the Order Golden Wheel of Laws, and without it, the world he created might be unstable. He had to condense the Order Golden Wheel of Laws.
“Slaughter the Mechanical Insect Race!” He looked at the countless beasts pouring in around him, focusing on the mechanical beasts and continuing his massacre.
…
The Kaos star domain was in chaos, filled with war and slaughter.
One by one, life-bearing planets disappeared, turning into dead planets, their energies forming the complete Heart of the Continent.
Another half month passed.
[You have killed an Eight-Star Emperor Mechanical Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four basic attributes +1 billion points, Mechanical Life Law comprehension +1, Order Law comprehension +1.]
[You have successfully condensed the Order Golden Wheel of Laws.]
The prompt flashed, and a Golden Wheel of Laws soared into the air.
“Finally succeeded!” John let out a long breath, feeling a wave of joy in his heart.
Condensing the Order Golden Wheel of Laws had been even more difficult than he had imagined.
Over the past half month, he had almost constantly been slaughtering mechanical beasts, killing nearly a million of them, before he finally managed to condense the Order Golden Wheel of Laws.
Now, he had successfully condensed ten Golden Wheels of Laws.
Life, Elements, Chaos, Destruction, Killing, Space, Time, Soul, Reincarnation, and Order Golden Wheels of Laws.
As soon as his Overseer cultivation reached Nine-Star, he would be able to attempt to merge all ten Golden Wheels of Laws into one, create a world, and become a Creator God.
“This planet will do.” He sensed his surroundings. The life on this planet had almost been wiped out, and most of the invading giant beasts had been slain by him, turning the planet into a dead world.
Refining such a planet would cause him no moral hesitation.
He floated into the air, his mind focused, and World-in-Hand activated.
His World-in-Hand was vast, far larger than this planet, making the refining of the planet an easy task.
Whoosh…
The vast power of the laws surged out, nearly covering the entire planet.
Boom…
The space trembled, and the ground collapsed. The planet fractured inch by inch, merging into his World-in-Hand.
Refining the planet was even easier than he had expected.
He felt a bit melancholic, not because he felt sympathy, but because his thoughts turned to the Galaxy Star Domain.
If he couldn’t protect the Galaxy Star Domain, the life-bearing planets there would likely meet the same fate.
He could not let such a thing happen.
Soon, the planet was completely devoured, and World-in-Hand underwent some changes, becoming even larger.
However, his Overseer cultivation was still at the peak of Eight-Star and had not yet broken through to Nine-Star.
“Continue!” He was standing in the Void, his powerful mental energy spreading out as he quickly locked onto the nearest planet.
The life on this planet had also been slaughtered by Merciless, and countless giant beasts had taken over, rampaging and destroying everything in their path.
John acted decisively, summoning all ten Golden Wheels of Laws. The massive White Jade City also appeared before him.
White Jade City had been destroyed by Kaos before, but John had re-condensed it. With his improved comprehension of the laws, White Jade City had also grown stronger.
Boom!
The enormous city blotted out the sky and crashed down, causing the planet to tremble violently. Countless giant beasts were obliterated.
[You have killed an Eight-Star Emperor Abyss Beast. Plunder talent activated…]
The prompts flashed continuously, and he plundered numerous attributes, his strength growing significantly. He had already broken through to the peak of Six-Star Emperor.
At this rate, he would soon break through to Nine-Star Emperor.
Roar, roar…
Furious roars echoed as an endless tide of giant beasts charged toward him.
“Looking for death!” John sneered, and the space around him trembled. Time stopped activated, plunging the area into complete silence. The giant beasts, mid-attack, froze in place.
With his comprehension of Time Law enhanced and the Time Law Golden Wheel condensed, even Nine-Star Emperor-level beings couldn’t easily break the time prison.
The surrounding beasts had become lambs to the slaughter.
Buzz!
The sword intent hummed, the killing aura spreading, and thousands of sword lights flashed, carrying with them the power of the ten Golden Wheels of Laws, as he slaughtered the giant beasts.
[You have killed a Nine-Star Emperor Elemental Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four basic attributes +5 billion points, Basic Elemental Law comprehension +1, Rare Elemental Law comprehension +1.]
[Your cultivation has broken through to the early stage of Seven-Star Emperor…]
The prompts flashed one after another. His cultivation had successfully broken through to the early stage of Seven-Star Emperor, and his strength was once again greatly enhanced.
These giant beasts were no match for him. In just half a day, he had slaughtered them all.
