Chapter 490 Chapter 490: Destruction of Light City, the Arrival of the Magical Beast
Anixegon was dead, his form completely obliterated, and from his remains, an ancient bronze mirror floated out.
It was the Dark-Light Mirror!
John's heart surged with joy. He remembered that this mirror was a supreme treasure of The Heaven.
"Roar..." Suddenly, a furious roar echoed through the air.
The massive disturbance startled the Nine-Headed Lion, which shook its nine heads. Its cold, sinister gaze fixed on John, and in the blink of an eye, it charged directly at him.
John's expression shifted slightly. He quickly put away the Dark-Light Mirror and manipulated Dark City, sending it crashing down.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out as the Void shattered, and the enormous city was sent flying back.
The Nine-Headed Lion stood frozen, shaking its head, clearly disoriented. It glared at John with a rising fury.
"Hmm? The spatial passage is still open!" John noticed the flickering spatial rift not far from him.
It had been created by the Overlord before, and it was still not closed.
"Roar!" The Nine-Headed Lion roared in anger. The immense power of its nine heads surged, and blinding light flashed.
"This is bad!" John's expression darkened. He knew how terrifying the Nine-Headed Lion's attack was. Even the Overlord had not been able to stop it back then, and several Golden Wheels of Laws had been shattered in an instant.
He glanced at the flickering spatial passage and immediately made up his mind to escape without hesitation.
Buzz!
Behind him, the space trembled, and several beams of light shot toward him with terrifying speed.
In a rush, John immediately controlled Dark City to block the attacks.
Boom!
Another deafening explosion reverberated, and the space cracked apart. The immense Dark City was also riddled with cracks, and a chilling wind howled, as though thousands of souls were wailing.
John was affected as well. His body was struck by the force, causing him to spit blood and be thrown backward.
Fortunately, he had managed to escape the Void Land.
Roar...
The Nine-Headed Lion's enraged roar echoed behind him. It extended its nine colossal heads, but an invisible force blocked it, preventing it from entering the Realm of Chaos. The beast could only watch as John escaped.
"That was close!" John breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had managed to escape in time. If he had fallen into that creature's hands, things would have been grim.
At least he had killed Anixegon.
John glanced back at the Nine-Headed Lion, whose massive heads were still poking out of the Void, and mockingly made a cutting gesture across his throat. Ignoring the beast's furious roars, he turned to head toward Light City.
By now, Light City had been reduced to a hellish landscape. The True Dragon Emperor's self-detonation had already left the entire city in ruins, nearly annihilating it entirely.
Angry individuals continued to vent their fury, slaughtering the surviving members of the Church of Light to avenge the True Dragon Emperor.
The streets flowed with rivers of blood, and within half a day, the Church of Light's members had been completely exterminated, turning the city into a ghost town.
When John arrived and saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel moved.
But these people had brought it upon themselves.
He met up with a few others and turned his attention to the wounded Merciless Emperor.
Her face was pale, her body drenched in blood. Despite the injuries, her aura was still cold, pushing everyone away with a sense of unapproachable distance.
"John, how is it? Is Anixegon dead?" Nine Phoenix asked, her voice filled with concern.
Anixegon was no weakling. If he managed to escape, the group would be left on edge.
John nodded and spoke, "He's been slain. What's more, we have a chance to escape this place."
"What?" Everyone turned to him, shock evident on their faces.
Even Merciless shot him a questioning look.
At that moment, the deafening roars of the magical beast army echoed as they spotted John and the others. The dark mass of beasts surged toward them.
"Run! There are two-star Emperor magical beasts among them, we can't hold them off!" Merciless Emperor felt several terrifying auras and quickly shouted a warning.
The group, terrified, didn't hesitate. They fled Light City and raced toward the Realm of Chaos.
Crack... crack...
The sound of vicious collisions filled the air as one monstrous magical beast after another, with sharp fangs and grotesque appearances, descended upon Light City, devouring everything in their path.
Metal, rocks, dust—nothing was spared.
In a matter of moments, the ruined city was devoured by the beasts, with most of it reduced to nothing.
Roar!
A roar sounded as a few magical beasts charged forward, their sights set on John and the others.
The magical beasts were clad in tough scales, a mix of black and blood-red, and emitted a strange, ominous aura as they rapidly approached the group.
"Ah..."
The sound of horrific, blood-curdling screams filled the air as several nine-star experts were instantly devoured. Blood mist filled the air as their bodies were torn apart and consumed by the terrifying magical beasts, their very souls being devoured as well.
The sight of this caused the others to panic. They quickened their pace, fleeing toward the Realm of Chaos.
John lagged slightly behind, his sword intent humming around him. With a thought, the Four Extermination Swords were summoned.
Buzz...
Cold, sharp light flickered as the swords flew toward the powerful magical beasts, which were swarming toward them like a tidal wave.
Splash!
Blood splattered, and the mournful screams echoed as several injured Bone Devouring Beasts and Soul Devouring Beasts were immediately devoured by their own kind.
John furrowed his brow. These beasts were even more ruthless than the Hunters.
Moreover, after devouring flesh and souls, the Bone Devouring Beasts and Soul Devouring Beasts actually gained a slight boost in power.
They could grow stronger through killing.
"John, these creatures are not to be underestimated. If we're trapped by them, we're dead for sure!" Merciless Emperor's voice reached him. She grabbed him and urged him to keep moving.
Behind them, more screams echoed. The nine-star experts who couldn't escape in time were all mercilessly devoured.
Two Emperor-level experts also met their untimely end.
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion rang out, and a terrifying shockwave sent countless magical beasts flying.
One of the nine-star experts, unable to endure the agony, chose to self-destruct.
The others were terrified out of their minds and didn't dare to linger for a second longer. They scattered in all directions.
John and the others quickly fled, entering the Realm of Chaos.
The group was left shaken, their faces pale, and their hearts full of despair.
Creator God couldn't descend, but his magical beasts could.
Countless Bone Devouring Beasts, Soul Devouring Beasts, and Ruin Beasts flooded into the Realm of Chaos. The surrounding area was already teeming with the figures of magical beasts.
Luckily, there weren't too many of them, and they didn't pose an immediate threat to the group.
John acted decisively, easily killing them in an instant.
[You have killed a nine-star Bone Devouring Beast. The Plunder ability has been activated.]
[+100,000 to the four basic attributes.]
...
The system's notification flashed, and John's four basic attributes were slightly increased.
Perhaps the arrival of these magical beasts wasn't such a bad thing after all—at least his cultivation would rise faster.
