Chapter 223: Frenzied Slaughter, Hunter Leader



Both Thunder and the Death Demon General were lower-tier gods, possessing immense power. For a short period, holding off these Hunters was not a problem for them at all.

Elsa, Tony, and the Undead Lord had also ascended to demigod status, allowing them to fend off the ninth-tier Hunters effectively.

Only Sini and Tracy were relatively weaker, being at the seventh tier, making them less of a threat to the Hunters.

The two of them stayed close to John, ensuring his safety.

John, having withdrawn from the battlefield, could no longer hold on mentally. Leaning against Sini, he closed his eyes, and soon, the sound of his steady breathing filled the air.

Sini's heart ached as she looked at him. Gently, she adjusted his position, letting him rest his head on her lap so he could sleep more comfortably.

Boom! Boom!

Thunder roared and dark forces surged all around. The Death Demon General and Thunder managed to repel most of the Hunters' attacks.

Occasionally, a few lone Hunters would break into the gorge, only to be effortlessly dispatched by Elsa and the others.

Though the Death Demon General and Thunder were lower-tier gods with formidable strength, they struggled to keep up with the endless onslaught of Hunters.

In just half a day, their magic energy was completely drained, forcing them into close- quarters combat. With the relentless swarm of enemies, their health points continued to plummet.

Although Sini had healing capabilities, it was impossible to keep up with the sustained damage caused by so many ninth-tier Hunters.

"Wake up the Godslayer. If this continues, we're all dead," Tony panted as he cut down a Hunter that had broken through.

"Alright!" Sini nodded and gently roused John.

John opened his eyes. Although he had only rested for half a day, his mental strength had already recovered significantly, and his physical stamina was fully restored.

"You two step back and rest now. Leave the rest to me," he instructed Thunder and the Death Demon General. Gripping the Sword of Divinity and Demons in his hand, he summoned the Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword, which split into three, and began yet another frenzied slaughter against the approaching Hunters.

All the Hunters around were ninth-tier.

Tony had mentioned before that Hunters could only cultivate up to the demigod level.

However, John had yet to see any demigod-level Hunters appear.

Even so, the ninth-tier Hunters posed a significant challenge to everyone.

Surrounded by the immense power of light and darkness, John unleashed a barrage of relentless attacks on the Hunters swarming the gorge.

In an instant, the Hunters within the gorge were completely eradicated.

Elsa, Tony, and the others couldn't contribute much to the battle, so they took the opportunity to rest, preparing to replace John when the time came.

John continued fighting for another day.

The Death Demon General and Thunder had fully recovered and took over from him, allowing him to step back and rest.

John hadn't reached his limit yet he could easily keep fighting for another two days and nights.

However, Sini and the others wouldn't allow it, fearing for his safety if he pushed himself too far.

Left with no choice, John reluctantly agreed to rest.

Thus, the group took turns resting and attacking, relentlessly slaughtering the Hunters.

John had lost count of how many ninth-tier Hunters he had killed.

He only knew that both he and the two women had ascended to the eighth tier, and his Plundered Shadow Power had accumulated to ten thousand points, increasing his percentage-based health damage to 0.1%.

His strength had significantly improved once again.

The group's coordination became increasingly refined, and the constant influx of Hunters no longer posed a threat.

And so, they continued like this for an entire month.

By now, they had all become numb to the endless combat, and despite the unrelenting waves

of Hunters, the number of enemies hadn't decreased at all. Instead, demigod-level Hunters began appearing.

This sudden escalation increased the pressure on them once more.

Only John and the two lower-tier gods, Thunder and the Death Demon General, could handle demigod-level Hunters with relative ease.

But it clearly wanted them to destroy the seal so it could escape this place.

At least until that goal was achieved, it wouldn't dare make a move against them.

And if the seal were destroyed, they could escape too-beyond these ruins, it would be easier

to shake off these creatures.

Avis followed the Hunter as it flew over the vast expanse of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins. Everywhere they passed, the ground teemed with countless Hunters.

Over the past month, they had slaughtered nearly a hundred million of these creatures, yet

their numbers didn't seem to have diminished at all.

Perhaps what the Hunter leader said was true-their deaths weren't final. They could be

resurrected.

The Ancient Battlefield Ruins stretched far and wide. After two hours of flight, they finally reached the edge of the ruins and landed near an altar.

"Human, this is the place," the Hunter leader gestured at the altar before them, then asked

curiously, "So, how do you plan to destroy the seal?"

John looked over at Tony.

Tony took out the crystal sphere.

"Huh? The Undying Flame!" the Hunter leader exclaimed in shock, its face filled with terror.

John was intrigued and asked, "What's the matter? Can this thing really annihilate all of

you?"

"Heh heh..." The creature forced an awkward smile but didn't say much. It only took a few steps back involuntarily.

John sneered. He had guessed correctly-the Undying Flame could completely obliterate the

Hunters.

"Tony, let me handle this," Ben stepped forward, reaching out to take the Undying Flame.

But Tony dodged his grasp, remaining calm. "You can't do it."

He glanced at the people around John, sighed helplessly, and decided to activate it himself.

"Wait, isn't it possible to detonate it remotely?" John stopped him, curious.

If using the Undying Flame meant sacrificing Tony, John would never agree to it.

Tony sighed and explained, "The Undying Flame has a blast radius of a hundred thousand meters. Only upper-tier gods' spiritual power can cover such a distance."

A hundred thousand meters?

John was taken aback. Even though his Soul Technique had advanced to over twenty thousand

points and he had mastered soul perception, his mental strength still couldn't reach that far. Tony continued, "Don't worry. My defenses are strong. I might get out of this unscathed."

"Not happening." John didn't buy it. He snatched the Undying Flame from Tony.

"Hey, kid, don't do anything reckless!" Tony was startled.

"Godslayer, why not let this guy detonate it?" Undead Lord suggested, pointing at the Hunter

leader.

The creature was so frightened it immediately shook its head. "No, not me! That thing can destroy me completely!"

John sneered, "Look at you, such a coward. Why not command one of your Hunters to do it?"

"Hmm, that could work." Its eyes lit up. It beckoned to one of the elite seventh-tier Hunters

nearby.

It had initially wanted to use an ordinary Hunter, but those were too dim-witted and unreliable.

Taking the Undying Flame from John, it handed it to the selected Hunter and meticulously instructed, "Use your spiritual power to detonate this crystal sphere and destroy the altar. Remember, only detonate it after we're far away-when you can't see us anymore. Got it?" The Hunter's gaze was dull. After a moment, it nodded seriously. "Remember, don't detonate it until you can no longer see us." It repeated the instruction several times, then ordered the surrounding Hunters to disperse.

John and the others quickly climbed onto Avis's back and fled the scene as fast as they could.
