Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Undying Flame, Slaughter of a Hundred Thousand Troops
"Godslayer, stop The Absolute from setting up the formation!" Ice Talker called out urgently from the side.
She and Terran were entangled with two of the city lords from the main cities and couldn't break free.
"Got it!" John responded, swiftly sheathing his curved blade and charging toward The Absolute, who was in the process of arranging the formation.
"Human, don't even think about it!" A furious shout rang out as the hundred thousand Shadow Clan warriors, hidden within the Hunters, made their move.
These hundred thousand were all peak upper-tier gods, powerful beyond measure. Though not as strong as Kangus, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
Whoosh!
A sky full of blood-red rays flashed, and John was instantly blasted to pieces.
"Damn it!" He resurrected on the spot, glaring at The Absolute who was still arranging the formation. There was no way he could kill so many upper-tier gods in such a short time.
Anxious, John immediately pulled the hundred thousand Shadow Clan warriors into his World-in-Hand, intending to use it to wipe them out.
"Godslayer, no!" Ice Talker noticed his movement and tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
Buzz!
A ripple of spatial energy spread out, and John along with the hundred thousand shadow Clan troops vanished without a trace.
"It's over!" Ice Talker's expression darkened. The peak upper-tier gods of the Shadow Clan had the means to destroy a World-in-Hand. Moreover, with so many of them arriving at once, things looked grim.
Inside World-in-Hand, the Shadow Clan warriors surveyed their surroundings, feeling the unfamiliar power of the laws. Far from being afraid, they appeared somewhat excited. "Godslayer, you're truly ignorant to have summoned us into your World-in-Hand." The leader of the group looked at John with disdain and mocked, "Your World-in-Hand is the most stable I've ever seen, but to think you could trap us? Ridiculous!"
As he spoke, he took out a blood-red jade stone and crushed it in his hand.
Whoosh!
An endless sea of blood spread out, quickly covering more than half of World-in-Hand. "Hmm?" John's expression shifted slightly as he felt the blood-red aura. It was eerily similar to the Blood Domain that Kangus had used.
What terrified him even more was that the power of the laws within World-in-Hand was being completely blocked by this blood-red haze.
"Godslayer, I'll destroy your World-in-Hand. Let's see what other tricks you have!" The leader sneered coldly and ordered, "Bombard them!"
Before John could react, the Shadow Clan warriors took out crystal orbs and casually threw them.
It was the Undying Flame!
Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out as World-in-Hand trembled, cracks forming all over it, its structure on the brink of collapse.
These Undying Flames were different from those in the Spirit Stone Mines.
In the Spirit Stone Mines, the Undying Flame merely covered the area but no longer had any destructive power.
But the Undying Flame inside these crystal orbs exploded with world-shattering force.
John finally understood why Ice Talker had warned him repeatedly not to summon these creatures into his World-in-Hand.
Boom! Boom!
The thundering explosions echoed, and World-in-Hand shook violently. At this rate, it might very well be destroyed.
"Damn it!" John cursed, his soul energy surging as he cast the Golden Lotus Hellfire.
Whoosh!
Endless golden flames spread out, enveloping the hundred thousand soldiers.
Immediately, shrill screams filled the air as John's soul energy drained rapidly.
Using the Golden Lotus Hellfire to cover such a large number of enemies was unsustainable for him. He wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
"Everyone, stay calm. As long as we destroy his World-in-Hand, he is as good as dead!" The Shadow Clan leader gritted his teeth, resisting the soul-burning effects, and from his hands, dozens of crystal orbs appeared, which he casually threw, triggering massive explosions.
"Return of Ten Thousand Swords!" John roared, the sound of his sword intent vibrating in the air. An endless wave of sword intent surged outward, engulfing the hundred thousand Shadow Clan warriors.
"Hmph, useless. The Blood Domain is an independent law. You cannot harm us," sneered the Shadow Clan warrior, looking down on John with disdain.
Countless sword beams rained down, killing over a hundred of the Shadow Clan warriors. However, they resurrected immediately, enduring the pain coursing through their souls, and continued to bombard John's World-in-Hand.
"Kangus was slain by my hand. Do you think you can stop me?" John activated his Heaven and Earth Transformation once more. His longsword rapidly expanded in size, a violent wind spiraling around it, carrying with it an aura of world-shattering power.
[Your level has risen to level 13451...]
[Plunder talent activated, Space Law comprehension +1%, Shadow Power +10, Constitution
+1000.]
...
A series of notifications flashed on screen as Shadow Clan warriors continued to fall under his onslaught. His experience soared, and his attributes grew stronger.
These Shadow Clan upper-tier gods, nearly all of whom had mastered powerful laws and exceptional talents, were valuable targets for his Plunder talent.
He acquired rare laws and formidable abilities with each kill.
The sound of anguished wails filled the air as the Shadow Clan warriors, faced with the threat
of death, abandoned their attempts to destroy John's World-in-Hand and began fleeing in
panic. "Hmph, do you think you can escape in my World-in-Hand?" John scoffed, raising his hand to
unleash a spatial confinement.
Buzz!
The surge of spatial power spread out, trapping everyone. Even the Split Void talent, known
for its ability to bypass space, was rendered useless here, not to mention their basic space
laws.
One by one, Shadow Clan warriors were blasted to pieces, and the rest were left in utter
despair. Soon, the hundred thousand shadow Clan warriors were slaughtered to the last, their bodies scattered across the ground, leaving behind a vast amount of loot-powerful top-tier artifacts, Origin Stones, Talent Upgrade Stones, and other rare items.
Of course, the biggest gains went to John, who plundered not only attributes and power of
laws but also increased his level to 19,740. He was now only two hundred levels away from reaching the lower-tier gods realm.
"Bonnie, clean up the battlefield. You all can distribute the spoils," he ordered, gesturing to
Bonnie to take care of the loot. The items no longer held much value for him. Then, with a thought, he exited his World-in-Hand.
Around him, countless Hunters continued to spread across the battlefield, having already climbed up the city walls. The city was on the brink of falling.
Ice Talker and Coldman were still engaged with two of the Shadow Clan city lords, unable to
break free.
The fall of the city was only a matter of time.
"Godslayer, are you alright?" Ice Talker asked, her voice filled with surprise and disbelief as
she looked at John.
She knew all too well the Shadow Clan's treacherous methods. A hundred thousand peak
Shadow Clan upper-tier gods were more than capable of destroying his World-in-Hand, yet John seemed unharmed.
John didn't have time to explain. His gaze was fixed on The Absolute, who was still in the process of setting up a formation.
"Human, where are the Shadow Clan troops?" The Absolute noticed John and asked coldly.
"They're dead!" John replied dismissively, his tone filled with contempt as he charged toward The Absolute.
By now, The Absolute was in the final stages of setting up the formation. He could not afford
to be interrupted.
"Impossible!" The Absolute couldn't believe it. A hundred thousand peak upper-tier gods were a massive force-even for the Shadow Clan, suffering such a huge loss was unthinkable. "Quick, stop him!" The Absolute's expression changed to one of panic as he immediately ordered the Hunters surrounding them to intercept John.
No matter what, as long as the formation was completed, they were certain to win.
Roar! Roar!
Countless Hunters howled in fury, swarming toward John in an attempt to overwhelm him. Several Hunters' Brood Mothers also launched soul attacks against him. "Hmph, overestimating yourselves!" John sneered, an overwhelming wave of sword beams erupting around him. The Hunters fell in swathes, their numbers decimated.
The soul attacks from the Hunters' Brood Mothers had no effect on him whatsoever.
John plowed through the attackers, cutting a path toward The Absolute with ruthless efficiency.
