Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Battle Against the Black Magicians, The Dark Giant
John gazed at the massive net descending upon him, his expression shifting slightly.
He could clearly sense the strange nature of these dark magics. It felt as though the black- robed figures were one entity. Though each of them only had the cultivation level of seven stars, their combined attack was not weaker than that of an eight-star expert.
"Kid, daring to oppose Celestial Vault, you're truly courting death!" The leader of the black- robed men looked at John, who appeared stunned, assuming he was paralyzed with fear. A sneer formed on his face.
Whoosh!
The gigantic net woven from dark magic suddenly contracted, the pressure spreading and causing the air to tremble.
John, however, remained calm, his expression unchanged.
Boom! Boom...
A series of thunderous explosions echoed as the dark magic detonated, a violent wind spiraling outward, sending John flying. Yet, he remained unharmed.
The leader's smile froze, and he exclaimed, "You possess the Body of Dark Elements!"
"You've refined the Black Magic Crystal!" His expression shifted as realization dawned. "Wait, no... You don't have the Dark Heaven Law!"
The leader's face broke into a grin, his eyes fixed on John as he spoke, "You've passed the Celestial Vault's test. Welcome to join the Celestial Vault organization!"
The black-robed man stood proudly, as though being chosen by Celestial Vault was a great honor.
John was momentarily stunned, unsure of where this man's confidence came from.
He coldly replied, "Sorry, I refuse!"
With that, he raised his United Sword high and unleashed the Infinite Sword Array.
Hum!
The longsword hummed as countless sword beams flickered in the air, enveloping the black- robed figures.
"Kid, stop being so arrogant. Do you really think you're invincible just because you have the Body of Dark Elements?" The leader of the black-robed men, furious, raised his hand to form a dark energy shield, hoping to block John's attack.
Boom!
But as the sword beams descended, he felt an overwhelming force.
The dark energy shield shattered instantly under the attack, and hundreds of sword beams rained down upon them.
John's strength had fully recovered, and his attacks carried 1% of life damage as well as soul- based damage.
Though the black-robed men weren't killed, they were severely wounded.
"Such a strange attack method!" The leader's face darkened as he spoke in a cold voice, "You are a criminal of The Heaven!"
Having never encountered such an attack before, he instantly deduced John's identity.
He spoke again, "Human, this is your last chance. Surrender or die!"
Despite the strange nature of John's attack, the leader showed no fear. After all, Celestial Vault had managed to survive and thrive in the chaotic Land of Exile, and they undoubtedly had their strengths.
"Master, don't waste any more time with them. These guys are ruthless, just kill them already!" Avis, who was hiding in the distance, quickly shouted. He hated the black-robed men to the core but was too weak to do anything about them.
John ignored him and raised his United Sword once again. A powerful sword intent surged, and countless sword beams flashed across the sky.
"Return of Ten Thousand Swords!" he roared. The United Sword flew from his hand and instantly transformed into thousands of sword beams, enveloping the dozens of black-robed
men.
"This is bad!" The leader of the black-robed men's face changed slightly. He could sense the terrifying power of these sword beams, and it was clear they were not something they could block.
"Form the formation, Dark Guardian!" he coldly commanded. The others swiftly shifted their positions, and an immense surge of dark power erupted around them. The energies gathered together, and in an instant, a colossal dark giant took form.
"A formation?" John was puzzled. He could sense the power of the formation, but it wasn't powered by Spirit Stones-it was the work of the black-robed men themselves.
He was slightly taken aback. It seemed that the Celestial Vault organization was even more powerful than he had imagined.
Roar!
With a mighty roar, the dark giant gazed at the incoming sword beams. It suddenly opened its enormous mouth.
And a terrifying suction force pulled the sword beams into its maw.
Whoosh!
The dark giant's body trembled, its surrounding dark energies swirling around it as they engulfed the powerful sword beams. It seemed as though the giant might explode at any moment from the immense pressure.
How terrifying!
His face shifted with alarm. The black-robed leader's spear technique was not merely based on the dark laws; it was a power he couldn't defend against. "Human, daring to oppose Celestial Vault, this is your fate!" The black-robed man smirked arrogantly, his confidence soaring after landing a successful blow.
"Big brother, do you need my help?" Spoorate, seeing John wounded, anxiously called out
from the sailboat, offering her assistance.
"No need," John replied calmly. If this had happened earlier, he might not have been able to face this man without relying on the Immortal Sword inheritance. But now, his power had increased dramatically, and he was no longer afraid.
The power of life surged within him, his body regenerating as his shattered arm was restored.
His cold gaze locked onto the dark giant.
"Overestimating yourself!" The black-robed man roared in fury, his spear moving in a blur as The unleashed the same attack once again.
John remained calm, four sword beams now surrounding him, an overwhelming killing intent
emanating from him.
These were the Four Extermination Swords.
"Immortal Sword Formation!" John's cold voice echoed, and the terrifying murderous aura seemed to materialize in the air as sword beams filled the sky.
"This is bad!" The black-robed man's expression shifted. He could clearly feel the terrifying
power of these sword beams.
But these sword beams weren't aimed at him-they were directed at the black-robed men
below.
The dark giant's strength came from the black-robed men. If they were killed, the dark giant
would dissipate.
The black-robed man's face turned pale with panic. It was already too late to stop the attack.
Endless sword beams rained down, filling the entire sky.
Blood-curdling screams echoed as the black-robed men were the first to be hit, torn apart in
an instant.
[You have slain a Seven-Star Dark Awakened One. Plunder ability activated.] [Mental +2000, Magic Critical Strike +10, Physical Critical Strike +10, Dark Magic Damage
+0.1%]
...
Notification after notification flashed across John's vision. Over thirty black-robed men were
engulfed by the sword beams and were immediately wiped out.
Boom!
With a deafening crash, the dark giant lost its support and collapsed. The black-robed man vomited blood and was sent flying backward.
His arm, still clutching the spear, trembled slightly, blood dripping from his fingertips.
Although he hadn't been directly killed by the sword beams, he was grievously wounded.
"Who exactly are you?" He suppressed the terror rising in his heart, his voice cold as he
demanded an answer.
John's methods
were bizarre and filled with all kinds of terrifying power. He even wielded
such a fearsome weapon.
Even the Heaven criminals who had fallen to this place could not possibly be so powerful.
"Judgment!" John didn't waste time with words. He immediately unleashed his soul skill-
Judgment.
Whoooom!
A deep hum filled the air, and the atmosphere quivered as the terrifying power of Heaven's laws converged, striking directly at the black-robed man's soul.
