Chapter 498: Three-Star Emperor Magical Beasts, Crushing the Soul Devouring Beast
Boom!
A massive explosion rang out, followed by the agonizing wails of pain and the scattering of blood. The three enormous beasts were struck by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, suffering severe injuries.
The power of Thunder Tribulation increases in proportion to the strength of the beings within its range. With these three giant beasts invading the area, the power of Thunder Tribulation was significantly amplified, and the beasts couldn’t withstand it.
Meanwhile, John, hiding beneath them, barely sustained any damage.
"Human, you’re seeking death!" A furious roar echoed. The three beasts realized they had been outmaneuvered. Their terrifying auras erupted as they roared and charged toward John.
Boom!
A deafening crash sounded as the golden light surrounding John shattered, and he was instantly annihilated.
[You were killed by a Three-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast. Lifesaver Talent Triggered.]
A prompt flashed on the screen, and John resurrected right where he fell. His golden aura surged around him, but he couldn’t hold back a cough of blood.
Even with his Lifesaver talent, John didn’t dare to be careless. He immediately activated his Elemental Escape technique and rapidly fled.
Boom... boom...
The thunder rumbled once again, and another Purple Sky Divine Thunder began to form.
John saw this and immediately stopped. He turned and charged back toward the three beasts.
"Damn!" The Ruin Beast cursed, suddenly halting in its tracks before quickly turning and fleeing.
The situation flipped instantly. Just moments ago, these three beasts had been hunting John, but now they were running from him.
"Hmph, weren’t you trying to kill me? Why are you running?" John taunted with pride, fully unleashing his Elemental Escape technique, while also commanding White Jade City to continuously strike, pushing the three beasts further into a corner.
In the distance, Nine Phoenix and the others watched in stunned silence.
They had been worried about John’s safety, but now they found themselves sympathizing with the three massive beasts.
"This isn’t good. The three beasts are heading toward us!" The Heavenly King’s face changed drastically.
The three beasts, unable to shake off John, were attempting to lead him away to direct the chaos elsewhere.
"World-in-Hand!" Sini shouted. The Powers of the Underworld surged as she led everyone into John’s World-in-Hand.
The three beasts missed their target, their expressions growing increasingly frantic.
The Thunder Tribulation locked onto its target, so even if the beasts managed to escape the storm clouds, as long as John pursued them, it would draw the Thunder Tribulation’s wrath.
"We need to get out of here. We can’t handle this Purple Sky Divine Thunder," the Soul Devouring Beast, badly wounded, urged as it staggered.
The Ruin Beast growled in frustration, replying, "We can’t break through the space under Thunder Tribulation."
"Then let’s deal with him first. I don’t believe he can withstand the full force of the Purple Sky Thunder Tribulation," the Bone Devouring Beast roared, turning and charging straight toward John.
Whoosh!
The wind howled as a terrifying aura filled the air. The Bone Devouring Beast’s body began to coagulate with eerie white bones, forming a cage around John.
"Howling Storm!" The Soul Devouring Beast followed closely behind, unleashing a soul-shattering attack.
John’s expression shifted slightly. Without hesitation, he immediately activated the Golden Lotus Manifestation to defend against the soul attack.
But in the next moment, a razor-sharp claw came rushing toward him—it was the Ruin Beast.
Boom!
He was struck with no ability to resist, instantly obliterated.
[You were killed by the Three-Star Emperor Ruin Beast and Soul Devouring Beast. The Undying and Immortal talent has been triggered.]
A prompt flashed across the screen, and John resurrected in place. Without waiting for the three massive beasts to react, he quickly charged forward without hesitation.
At that moment, beneath the swirling storm clouds, an even thicker purple divine lightning descended.
"This is bad!" The three beasts were taken aback. They had been entirely focused on John, neglecting the Thunder Tribulation above them. By the time they realized, it was already too late to escape.
Boom!
A deafening crash as the tribulation lightning descended, enveloping both him and the Ruin Beast.
"Roar..." A miserable howl echoed through the air.
The Ruin Beast’s enormous body crashed heavily to the ground, directly falling into a pool of blood. Its aura was disordered, and its soul had suffered a devastating blow.
John wasn’t in much better shape either. He too had been severely injured, but it wasn’t life-threatening, and not even his Undying and Immortal talent had been triggered.
"You despicable human, Bone Devouring Beast and Ruin Beast won’t let you off!" The Soul Devouring Beast, its breath faint and weak, still refused to admit defeat. It grit its teeth and cursed.
John was a bit speechless. It was clear that they had come to cause trouble, but now they were acting as if they were the victims.
He didn’t bother with them, instead turning his attention to the distant Ruin Beast and Bone Devouring Beast.
By now, they had already escaped the range of the tribulation clouds and weren’t in a hurry to leave.
Their goal was to kill John, and beyond the tribulation clouds, they were safe.
If John made any move, Ruin Beast could immediately break the Void and lead Bone Devouring Beast to escape.
Once the Thunder Tribulation had passed, they would return to finish him off.
Boom, boom, boom...
The sound of rolling thunder echoed, deep and oppressive.
A massive Purple Sky Divine Thunder began to form.
John paid no more attention to Ruin Beast and Bone Devouring Beast. His figure moved, and he directly hid beneath the severely wounded Soul Devouring Beast.
"Fool! You’ll die a terrible death!" Soul Devouring Beast cursed angrily, its voice trembling.
It could feel the terrifying power of the tribulation lightning and feared it wouldn’t be able to block it. Even if it didn’t die, it would be gravely injured.
John ignored its curses, his body surrounded by golden light. He activated Diamond Body Protection, followed by Golden Lotus Manifestation.
The power of this tribulation lightning was more terrifying than before. With Ruin Beast and Bone Devouring Beast no longer around to share the burden, he wasn’t sure if he could withstand it.
Boom!
A deafening roar as the massive purple lightning struck, hitting Soul Devouring Beast directly.
"Roar!"
A heart-wrenching cry, blood splattered everywhere. The huge body of Soul Devouring Beast was almost torn apart by the lightning, blood raining down as it collapsed onto the ground, lifeless or barely alive.
John also endured the full force of the Thunder Tribulation. The golden light around him shattered instantly, and the tribulation lightning enveloped him. His body was torn apart, and his soul was severely wounded.
[You have been struck down by Thunder Tribulation. The Undying and Immortal talent is triggered...]
The prompt flashed. He resurrected at the spot, his face pale, a small trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his body swaying weakly.
Fortunately, the storm clouds above him churned but did not form another Purple Sky Divine Thunder.
The second round of Thunder Tribulation had finally ended.
He let out a long breath, glancing over at the nearly destroyed Soul Devouring Beast, now nothing but a heap of blood and flesh.
"Hmm, it’s still not dead?" He was surprised. The Soul Devouring Beast still had a faint breath, its spiritual energy flickering like a candle flame—precarious and on the verge of extinguishing.
He gave a cold smile, summoned White Jade City, and smashed it down mercilessly, showing no mercy.
Boom!
Blood and flesh flew, and the Soul Devouring Beast didn’t even let out a scream. Its remaining life force was instantly shattered, and all its energy faded away.
[You have killed the Three-Star Emperor Soul Devouring Beast. The Plunder talent has been activated.]
[All four basic attributes +1 billion, Soul Technique +10 million.]
The prompt flashed, and a wave of warmth surged into his body, along with a tremendous amount of spiritual power.
John’s severely injured body instantly healed, and his strength received a terrifying boost.
"One billion attribute points!" He was stunned, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, his gaze fiery as he turned to focus on Ruin Beast and Bone Devouring Beast in the distance.
