Chapter 216: Law of Life, Slaying Thunder



"Not good!" John noticed Thunder's intention, and his expression changed drastically. He shouted anxiously, "Scatter, now!"

Tony quickly understood the situation, but facing the onslaught of a lower-tier god, there was no way he could escape.

Panicking, he immediately retracted the Undying Flame.

Even if he died, he couldn't let John get caught up because of him.

"Hmph, it's useless. As long as I kill you, the Undying Flame will drop anyway." Thunder sneered maliciously, charging forward at high speed. With his mana completely drained, he could only resort to close combat.

But he was confident-a mere physical attack from a lower-tier god would be enough to instantly kill a demigod.

It's over!

Tony watched the rapidly approaching Thunder, a sense of despair filling his heart.

His defense was incredible, but it was only enough to withstand attacks from other demigods. Against a powerful lower-tier god, he was doomed.

"Your opponent is me!" At that moment, a surge of spatial energy rippled through the air. John used his spatial displacement skill, Flash, and appeared instantly in front of Tony.

"Get back!" He glanced at Tony and commanded.

Bang!

With a deafening crash, Thunder's attack landed, and John was instantly killed once more. Fortunately, Tony seized the opportunity to flee the battlefield as fast as he could, putting as much distance as possible between him and the fight.

"Cough!" John resurrected again, unable to stop himself from coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Hm? Your soul is injured?" Thunder's eyes lit up.

Up close, he could sense that John's soul was already wounded, and quite severely at that. "Hahaha! So, you're not invincible after all!" He laughed maniacally, seeing a glimmer of hope for victory. Raising his staff high as a melee weapon, he launched a series of frenzied attacks at John.

Bang!

John was instantly killed again, his mind reeling and his soul throbbing with pain. This time, the damage to his soul was far worse than when he fought the Giant Spirit God.

He had slightly underestimated the strength of a lower-tier god.

"Get lost!" John resurrected once more, and before Thunder could react, he activated Demon Slayer Slash.

Bang!

With a powerful slash, Thunder was stunned.

However, Thunder had methods to resist stun effects. Not daring to stay close, John quickly put some distance between them. He forced himself to ignore the dizziness assaulting his mind and unleashed another wave of skill attacks.

Magic surged, and sword light flickered-another round of relentless bombardment ensued. "Boy, stop this pointless struggle. I still have over 4 billion health points left. Killing you will be more than enough!" Thunder's cold voice echoed as he burst out from the spell's range and closed in rapidly.

John dared not let him get close again and quickly retreated.

Crack!

At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from above.

Thunder's mana had recovered slightly. He didn't need to use a powerful spell-just a single lightning bolt was enough to kill John.

[You were instantly killed by Thunder. Undying and Immortal talent activated.]

The system notification flashed. John knelt on one knee, his soul throbbing in pain.

At that moment, a Jade Heart Lotus appeared, radiating a green light deep within his soul. Following this, a surge of immense life energy emerged, healing his injured soul.

"What is this?" John was astonished. The sudden surge of life energy was completely different from the power of the Tree of Life. It wasn't as overwhelming, but it was purer, as if it originated from within him.

[After experiencing multiple deaths, you have comprehended the Law of Life.]

The notification popped up again, leaving John stunned.

In such dire circumstances, he had actually comprehended another Law-an even rarer and more powerful Law of Life.

Deep in his mind, his wounded soul rapidly healed under the combined effects of the Jade Heart Lotus and the Law of Life, instantly returning him to his peak condition.

His soul power also fully recovered.

Whoosh!

John let out a long breath, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort as he turned his gaze towards Thunder. A powerful battle intent surged within him.

"Huh? Your injuries are healed? How is that possible!" Thunder exclaimed in disbelief.

Soul injuries were the hardest to recover from, and yet John's Wounds had fully healed within just a few breaths.

This was utterly impossible.

"Heh, it's time to end this!" John chuckled coldly, not wasting any more words as he activated his soul skill Intimidation once more.

Buzz!

And now that John had mastered the Law of Life, he could potentially resurrect these two

beings.

He had the idea of subjugating them. Lower-tier gods were still considered invincible in the current Skyline Continent.

"John, here are two mid-tier divine artifacts," Sini said as she picked up the items that the

two gods had dropped and handed them over.

"Mid-tier artifacts?" John was puzzled. He had already acquired mid-tier divine artifacts

from killing a demigod.

Lower-tier gods should drop items of one grade higher-typically high-tier divine artifacts.

It seemed that both lower-tier gods and demigods only dropped mid-tier artifacts.

Perhaps only mid-tier gods dropped high-tier divine artifacts.

But with his current strength, it was impossible for him to kill a mid-tier god.

He examined the two weapons carefully.

A dark longsword and Thunder's staff.

The two mid-tier divine artifacts were excellent, but John already had the Sword of Divinity

and Demons and the Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword.

Although the Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword was a low-tier divine artifact, it resonated perfectly with his Three-Apertured Exquisite Heart talent, so he had no intention of replacing

it.

The two pieces of equipment weren't suitable for anyone in his group either, so he put them away without a second thought and turned his attention back to the two bodies on the ground. "Senior, Elsa, is it possible for either of you to communicate with the souls of deceased lower-tier gods?" John asked, considering the possibility of subjugating these two lower-tier gods, but first, he needed to establish communication with them.

Both of them shook their heads.

Elsa explained, "Master, our soul power is too weak. Once a lower-tier god dies, their soul

falls into a deep slumber. Only a soul with far greater strength than theirs can awaken them."

"I see..." John tried to sense the situation. He could tell that the souls of the two gods were

still alive, but he couldn't communicate with or attack them. His current level of Soul Technique was still too weak.

With a sigh, he decided to take the two bodies with him for now and figure out a way later.

If nothing else worked, he could always resurrect them and kill them again.

Though such an approach seemed rather cruel and twisted.

"Elsa, let's continue searching for more ninth-tier cities of the Dark Humans," John

instructed as he turned to Elsa.

His Soul Technique had already reached over 18,000 points. He wanted to continue

plundering resources from these ninth-tier cities and push his Soul Technique to 100,000 points before attempting to subjugate these two lower-tier gods.

The group mounted Avis and continued their search for the Dark Humans' ninth-tier cities.

...

Before long, John had obliterated two more ninth-tier cities, slain three demigod-level warriors, and collected over two million skill stones and other items.

It was more than enough to boost his Soul Technique to 100,000 points.

"Old man, this leveling up is way too slow," Tracy pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction.

After spending half a day, she had only reached Level 1043.

John had told her that she needed to reach the ninth tier, Level 5000, before she could act

freely.

But at this leveling rate, it would take her at least half a year. John felt a bit helpless too. He himself had only reached Level 1108.

After reaching the seventh tier, the experience required to level up was staggering. Even with

the Divine Path activated, granting a tenfold increase in experience gain, it was still a slow

process.

The only way to level up faster was to kill a large number of demigod-level beings. "Master," Elsa said, as if recalling something, "the experience in the Secret Area of the City of

Angels is still increased tenfold."

John's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "You mean to say that, even with the Divine Path active, the experience is increased tenfold again?"
