Chapter 224: Breaking the Seal, Unleashing a Mighty Life Force



Avis, well aware of the terrifying power of the Undying Flame, flew at top speed until they were a hundred thousand meters away, far enough that the altar could no longer be seen. Only then did he dare to stop.

Buzz!

Before long, a terrifying surge of energy rippled through the air from the distant horizon, sweeping toward them. The surrounding temperature soared instantly, fierce winds howled, and John and his group were directly blown off their feet.

John clearly saw a blinding white light flashing in the distance—an immense ball of fire. Wherever it passed, the Hunters too slow to escape were instantly incinerated, leaving nothing but empty air where they once stood.

Even from a hundred thousand meters away, they could still feel the powerful shockwave's effects.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the entire space around them shook violently, emitting a low, resonating hum. The seemingly indestructible power of the seal was utterly insignificant in the face of the Undying Flame, collapsing instantly under its immense force.

[System Announcement: The seal of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins has been shattered, now connecting to the World of Gods.]

...

As the system announcement rang out three times in succession, players began to buzz with curiosity, speculating wildly. None of them truly knew what this "Ancient Battlefield Ruins" represented.

However, within the Void Area, the gods and deities were thrown into utter chaos, reacting in sheer panic.

"The Ancient Battlefield Ruins have been opened? Damn it! Who did this?!" A roar of fury echoed throughout the Void Area, emanating from a figure seated at the highest throne-an upper-tier god, Heidern.

He was also known by another title: The Overseer.

The powerful figures beneath him were equally shocked, their faces filled with fear.

"Overseer, could it have been that Godslayer?" ventured Mantra, who was among the gathered deities, voicing his suspicion.

The God of Light had already set out over a month ago to hunt down the Godslayer, yet there had been no word from him since.

The most likely explanation was that the Godslayer had fled into the Ancient Battlefield Ruins and destroyed the seal.

"Godslayer? Damn it!" Heidern cursed, recalling that John possessed an Undying Flame-a weapon that could indeed shatter the Ancient Battlefield's seal.

"What the hell was the God of Light doing? He can't even deal with a lowly human, and now he's let that man destroy the seal of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins!" He was furious, his rage echoing through the hall.

The powerful figures below him all bowed their heads deeply, terrified of drawing his wrath.

One deity glanced up at him cautiously and asked in a timid voice, "Overseer, now that the Ancient Battlefield Ruins have been opened, what should we do?"

The fearsome reputation of the Hunters was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the gods. Many of their kind had fallen to those creatures.

Whatever happened, none of them wished to face the Hunters again.

Heidern took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down as he suppressed his fury. He spoke slowly, "I suspect that human intends to resurrect The Immortals. You all stay here and guard the Void Area. I'm going to visit Lord Shadow."

With that, his figure flashed, appearing in a secret chamber.

He hurried over to a stone platform. A surge of immense holy power poured into it, activating the platform.

Buzz!

A light flickered, forming a vague silhouette on the platform. Its face was obscured, but it emanated an aura of darkness and malice.

"Greetings, my lord!" The once-mighty Heidern now knelt humbly on one knee, his expression reverent and deferential.

"What is it?" a cold voice echoed from the silhouette.

"My lord, the seal of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins has been shattered, releasing countless Hunters into the Skyline Continent. They threaten my dominion. I implore you to take them away," he pleaded quickly.

These Hunters had been brought in by the Shadow Clan, initially intended to combat The Immortals.

However, it turned out that these Hunters posed a far greater threat to ordinary gods, while being largely ineffective against The Immortals.

"I'm aware," the voice replied, still as icy and emotionless as before.

Heidern's brows furrowed slightly, and he hesitantly asked, "My lord, when will you take action?"

"Hmm?" The silhouette's gaze turned cold and menacing.

Heidern trembled in fear, immediately lowering his head and shutting his mouth, not daring to speak further.

His position as the Overseer had been bestowed by this very being.

To others, he seemed all-powerful, but when facing a member of the Shadow Clan, he was no more than a groveling servant.

He knew full well just how terrifying these entities were. In their eyes, he was as insignificant

as an ant.

Even the mighty warriors of The Immortals had been effortlessly crushed by them.

"Hm?" John suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing.

He had instinctively activated his Soul Perception and clearly sensed an extremely powerful life force in the vicinity. At the very least, it was at the level of a lower-tier god.

It shouldn't be a Hunter. Those creatures had already left, and the highest level they could

reach was only demigod.

"Master, what's wrong?" Elsa noticed John's sudden pause and asked curiously. John replied, "There's a powerful entity here- at least at the level of a lower-tier god."

"That can't be right. The Hunters wouldn't spare any life form, let alone a powerful deity," Tony disagreed, doubting John's claim.

"Let's check it out," John said without offering further explanation. He jumped onto Avis' back, carefully sensing the location of the life force, and directed Avis to move forward.

The others followed, their curiosity piqued.

"Wait, it's not just one!" John's voice echoed back.

As they got closer to the source, John sensed more, weaker life forces-ones he hadn't detected before because they were masked by the overwhelming presence of the larger entity.

There were millions of these weaker life signals.

Could it be more Hunters? John speculated that only Hunters could exist in such enormous numbers.

"Kid, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Tony frowned. If there was really an entity above the

demigod level here, he would have sensed it immediately.

"I'm positive." John was certain. The advantage of his Soul Perception was that he could

sense any living presence, with no chance of error.

He urged Avis to fly faster.

The others exchanged glances but chose not to argue further.

Soon, Avis landed in front of a hidden cave entrance.

"It does seem like there's a powerful life force here, but I can't feel any energy fluctuation,"

Ben observed, his brows furrowing as he stared at the cave entrance.

"Doesn't this place seem a bit too eerie?" Undead Lord hesitated as he looked into the dark,

deep cave, not daring to step forward.

Everything about this place felt unknown. Without his Undying and Immortal talent, he didn't

dare to take risks.

"Master, let me go in first." The death demon general scoffed at Undead Lord's hesitation,

taking a deep breath as he approached the cave entrance.

Bang!

A collision sound rang out, and he cried out in pain as he was sent flying backward, landing

heavily on the ground.

"Master, there's a barrier here. I can't get through." He groaned, rubbing his forehead in pain

as he struggled back to his feet.

"Is that so?" John murmured, stepping forward slowly.

He passed through the barrier effortlessly, without any resistance.

"Huh, what's going on?" The death demon general was baffled and tried to step forward

again.

Bang!

He was thrown back again.

Curious, the others also tried to enter but were all repelled. Only John could enter the cave

with ease.

"Could it be that only Immortal beings can get through?" Ben stroked his beard, deep in thought. This was the first time he'd encountered something so peculiar.

Shadow Power!

John had a different theory. He suspected that it was related to the Shadow Power he'd

plundered. The life force within this cave was definitely connected to the Hunters or the Shadow Clan.
