Whoosh!
At this moment, the Tree of Life swayed, releasing a powerful surge of life energy that began to heal John’s injuries.
In an instant, his physical wounds were fully healed. However, his soul had been injured and would require time to recover.
Nonetheless, this soul injury didn’t affect him too much.
“John, you avenged my father’s death. The great debt of gratitude cannot be repaid in words. In the future, should you need anything, I will go through fire and water without hesitation.” The voice of Highshield echoed, his obsession completely let go, now wholeheartedly submitting.
John simply smiled and didn’t pay much attention. His slaying of Abyss wasn’t solely for Highshield’s vengeance.
He took a moment to heal his injuries but didn’t rush to reforge the Destruction and Slaughter Golden Wheels of Law.
Looking toward Merciless and the others, he spoke, “I will leave now. You should continue your seclusion and cultivation. Try to improve your strength. Don’t worry about saving resources for me.”
Abyss was already dead, but he was concerned that the three Creator Gods might have their subordinates destroy Abyss Star, which would prevent him from refining it.
With that, he moved and left his World-in-Hand, reappearing on Abyss Star once again.
The place was still thick with black mist, and the sounds of battle and roars echoed through the air.
The giant beasts were still slaughtering the life on Abyss Star, and while the Corrosive Path Black Mist enveloped them, their strength was also affected.
However, with John now in control of the Corrosive Path Black Mist, he was no longer afraid.
“Roar!” A massive Mechanical Beast set its sights on him and charged forward with a roar.
Among the subordinates of the three Creator Gods, the Mechanical Race was least affected by the Corrosive Path Black Mist.
“Hmph, seeking death!” John sneered, completely dismissing the threat. Two Golden Wheels of Law had been destroyed, and while his soul was wounded, his strength remained unaffected. Dealing with these beasts was effortless for him.
Even when facing a Nine-Star Emperor beast, he was not afraid in the least.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, a Golden Wheel of Law slammed down, instantly obliterating the Mechanical Beast.
[You killed a Seven-Star Emperor Mechanical Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four base attributes +200 million, Mechanical Life Law comprehension +1, Order Law comprehension +1.]
The prompt flickered. John moved deeper into the black mist and began a frenzied massacre.
His target was the massive beasts under the three Creator Gods—he had no intention of harming the life on Abyss Star.
Boom, boom…
Explosions resounded, the black mist trembled, and the cries of agony echoed as the massive beasts were slaughtered by him and Merciless.
[You killed a Nine-Star Emperor Abyss Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[Four base attributes +5 billion, Abyss Law comprehension +1, Reincarnation Law comprehension +1.]
[Your cultivation has advanced to the Early Stage of Eight-Star Emperor.]
…
The notifications flashed. After a week’s time, John had killed nearly all the invading beasts on this planet, plundering vast amounts of attributes. His strength surged, and he had broken through to the Early Stage of Eight-Star Emperor.
“Hmm, so many powerful beings!” John marveled as he sensed that this planet still held tens of thousands of powerful individuals—all above the Five-Star Emperor level, and all of them were The Overseer.
The strongest of them was at the Peak of Eight-Star Emperor.
These individuals were all members of Abyss’s organization.
If he could subjugate them, they would undoubtedly form a formidable fighting force.
John’s mind raced, his powerful spiritual energy spread outward, and a majestic voice echoed across the battlefield: “I am John. Kaos has fallen, Abyss has been slain by me. I now give you all a chance at survival—submit to me.”
A terrifying aura enveloped the area, and everyone heard the voice. They stood frozen in place, expressions filled with awe and fear.
They also sensed the abnormality in the Kaos Star Domain, as one planet after another vanished. Although they were The Overseers, they had no power to stop it.
The only way they could survive was by seeking the protection of a stronger being.
They considered submitting to the Creator Gods, but those beings didn’t even trust the lives they themselves created—how could they possibly trust them?
Moreover, they had witnessed John’s slaughter of the giant beasts. Even Nine-Star Emperors were no match for him. To them, this was indeed an excellent opportunity.
“My lord, I am willing to submit!” One individual knelt on one knee, their demeanor humble as they proactively offered to sign a soul contract.
With one person taking the lead, others followed suit, kneeling and agreeing to submit, all signing the soul contract.
“Very well.” John nodded in satisfaction. He then spoke, “You will enter my World-in-Hand. Gather the magic cores of these giant beasts. You may refine and use them as you wish.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes gleamed with excitement and joy.
These invading giant beasts were all Six-Star Emperors or higher. They had spent their entire lives striving for strength and yet, they might never even get their hands on an Eight-Star or Nine-Star Emperor beast’s magic core.
If they obtained these magic cores, their strength would undoubtedly improve rapidly.
John, however, paid little mind to this. He had no use for such things, and there were plenty of them.
In just a few days, he had slaughtered millions of giant beasts. Even if these individuals consumed them all, they wouldn’t make much of a dent in the supply.
“Do not resist.” He reminded them, and with a thought, he gathered everyone, along with the countless corpses of the giant beasts, into his World-in-Hand.
At this point, the massive Abyss Star was still shrouded in black mist. There was no life left, and it resembled more of a dead planet than anything else.
He didn’t waste any more time. Sitting cross-legged, he began to refine the planet.
Abyss Star was incredibly powerful. Perhaps, after refining it, he would break through to the level of Nine-Star Emperor The Overseer.
Whoosh…
The World-in-Hand opened, and the endless power of laws surged, enveloping the entire planet.
This planet was even stronger than the ones he had previously refined.
Crack, crack…
After a long while, signs of breaking began to appear. Cracks spread across the massive planet, and it slowly began to fracture, turning into countless fragments that slowly merged into his World-in-Hand.
Boom! Boom!
The World-in-Hand trembled violently as it devoured Abyss Star, rapidly expanding outward.
In the sky, Star Dust flickered, and the powerful The Heaven Law swirled around, stabilizing the newly opened World-in-Hand.
John could clearly feel his World-in-Hand growing stronger, and the laws within it becoming even more powerful.
Not only that, but Abyss Star had once been Abyss’s World-in-Hand, and the Corrosive Path Black Mist that pervaded it was also devoured by him.
His control over the Corrosive Path Black Mist had grown even stronger.
Whoosh…
The space trembled as Abyss Star was damaged, completely devoured and refined by his World-in-Hand. The surroundings transformed into an endless Void, an utter silence enveloping the area.
[You have refined Abyss Star. Your control over the Corrosive Path Black Mist has increased.]
[Your The Overseer cultivation has reached the perfect Eight-Star level.]
The notification flashed, and John’s The Overseer cultivation had reached the Eight-Star Perfection stage, but he had not broken through to Nine-Star.
He wasn’t sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Buzz!
At that moment, a five-colored pillar of light flickered in the Void, descending upon him. Once again, he received The Heaven’s Blessing.
However, this pillar of light was even more intense than the last one.
With a thought, he instantly arrived at his World-in-Hand, under the Tree of Life.
“John.” Merciless and the others saw him appear and were about to greet him when they noticed a massive five-colored light pillar descending right behind him.
Everyone was shocked.
“Kid, you’ve reached the Eight-Star Perfection level of The Overseer?” Thoublade exclaimed in disbelief.
John’s previous Seven-Star Overseer Perfection had already left them in awe. Now, to their surprise, he had broken through to the Eight-Star Perfection level of The Overseer.
The further one went in The Overseer cultivation, the harder it became to advance. Thoublade had never heard of anyone reaching the Eight-Star Perfection level.
“John, how did you manage this?” Highshield couldn’t help but ask, his voice filled with confusion.
John wore a puzzled expression and replied, “I don’t know. It feels like everything just fell into place naturally.”
The group fell silent, feeling a bit disheartened.
“The Heaven’s Blessing is descending. We should move out of the way.” Nine Phoenix looked at the massive pillar of light and quickly reminded everyone.
“No need.” John hurriedly stopped them. “I’ve already reached the limit in my comprehension of The Heaven Law. I can’t absorb much more of it. Rather than letting it go to waste, we might as well absorb it together.”
“Alright!” The others were pleased and nodded in agreement.
For ordinary cultivators, receiving The Heaven’s Blessing could mean the chance to resist the Emperor Thunder Tribulation successfully or a blessing after breaking through to the Emperor realm.
As for reaching the perfect level of The Overseer cultivation, they wouldn’t even dare to hope for it.
If it hadn’t been for John’s help, they wouldn’t even have reached the One-Star Perfection level of The Overseer, let alone ordinary people.
Buzz!
The five-colored pillar of light descended, enveloping them all. They sat cross-legged, carefully absorbing and comprehending the light.
Whoosh…
The Tree of Life gently swayed, also absorbing The Heaven’s Blessing.
John basked in the light, feeling the familiar power of laws that surged around him.
John didn’t continue to comprehend and refine the The Heaven Law that had already formed the Golden Wheel of Laws. Instead, he focused on comprehending the Destruction and Slaughter The Heaven Laws.
The two Golden Wheels of Laws had been destroyed during his battle with Abyss, and it was crucial to take this opportunity to reforge them.
Whoosh…
The World-in-Hand roared with wind, and the laws began to spread.
He had just subjugated the members of the Abyss Organization, but they didn’t have the qualifications to enter the pillar of light.
Even so, the power of laws still spilled outward. They had stopped collecting magic cores, instead sitting cross-legged outside the pillar of light, greedily absorbing and refining the dissipating The Heaven Laws.
[You have comprehended the Destruction The Heaven Law, and forged the Destruction Golden Wheel of Laws.]
[You have comprehended the Slaughter The Heaven Law, and forged the Slaughter Golden Wheel of Laws.]
The notification flashed as the two Golden Wheels of Laws shot out with a roar.
John had successfully reforged the Destruction and Slaughter Golden Wheels of Laws, greatly enhancing his strength once again.
The five-colored pillar of light still hadn’t dissipated. He continued to absorb and comprehend other The Heaven Laws.
This The Heaven Blessing was incredibly powerful, and it lasted for quite a long time. The five-colored pillar of light finally began to fade.
The others’ bodies glowed, their comprehension of The Heaven Laws having made significant progress.
Buzz!
At that moment, Chaos Force and the power of Destruction surged, and the two Golden Wheels of Laws flew out.
Chaos and Heavenly King had both forged their own Golden Wheels of Laws—Chaos had formed the Chaos Golden Wheel of Laws, while Heavenly King had forged the Destruction Golden Wheel of Laws.
“I actually formed a Golden Wheel of Laws!” Heavenly King exclaimed with excitement. He had only recently broken through to One-Star Emperor, yet he had successfully formed a Golden Wheel of Laws.
Of course, it couldn’t compare to John’s power.
Chaos was also thrilled, but not surprised. After all, World-in-Hand had been opened by Chaos Force, and his cultivation had been advancing at an incredible pace. He had made the most progress among them.
