Chapter 278: World Within the Palm, Chaos Force
John's mind raced as he scanned his surroundings, and his gaze locked onto the guardian dragon.
It seemed Sea King valued this creature highly. If he could kill it and obtain the Heart of Skyline Continent, it might give him the power needed to face Sea King.
Buzz!
Spatial energy pulsed, and John's figure disappeared, reappearing a second later directly in front of the guardian dragon.
"Hm? Split Void talent!" Sea King's expression shifted in surprise. Split Void was a skill unique to the Shadow Clan-how John acquired it was a mystery to him.
"Master, help me!" the guardian dragon cried out in terror.
"Die!" John shifted back into his Heaven and Earth Transformation state, raising his fist to strike down on the dragon's only remaining head.
"Human, how dare you!" Sea King shouted anxiously. But the distance was too great; he couldn't reach them in time.
With the guardian dragon's death, the Heart of Skyline Continent was sure to drop.
Moreover, John had passed all the final trials in The Secret Area, meaning the Heart of Skyline Continent would automatically recognize him as its master-something Sea King was desperate to prevent.
Boom!
A thunderous blast rang out as the guardian dragon howled in agony, blood pouring from its seven orifices.
At that moment, Sea King's attack struck John, instantly killing him again.
The Undying and Immortal talent triggered, resurrecting John in place.
"Hmph, let's see how you'll save your guardian dragon now!" John's voice echoed, and a powerful surge of sword intent filled the air as he unleashed the Nine Heavens Sword once
more.
Three massive sword beams tore through the void, slicing toward the guardian dragon with a fierce howl.
"No! Master, save me..." The guardian dragon's face was filled with horror. Already heavily injured, it couldn't avoid or defend against John's skill attack.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a ripple of spatial energy flared, and the terrifying sword beams vanished as if they had never existed, leaving only chaotic spatial currents in their place.
Simultaneously, both John and Sea King's figures disappeared.
The guardian dragon, spared from death, exhaled in relief, muttering to itself, "Did they enter the master's world? Now this human is as good as dead!"
...
John found himself in a strange, unknown space-a clear sky and a vast, endless ocean spread out before him.
Moments later, Sea King appeared, smiling as he looked at John. "Godslayer, welcome to my world," he said with a smirk.
He continued, "Originally, I intended to recruit you. But now, your talents intrigue me even more."
"Hmph, you really think you can kill me?" John sneered, attempting to summon Golden Lotus Hellfire.
But nothing happened.
"What's going on?" His brow furrowed as he tried again, only to be met with silence.
Not only that, but he couldn't sense any of his powers-and his spiritual energy had completely vanished.
"Heh!" Sea King laughed arrogantly, spreading his arms wide, his face wild with confidence. "Here, I am The Overseer. I am invincible. Even the Lord God would dare not tread here
lightly."
John swallowed, involuntarily stepping back, and desperately tried to break through this space to escape.
But even his Split Void talent failed to activate.
"Godslayer, stop struggling. Your death is certain!" Sea King could see John's intent,
spreading his hand and slowly clenching his fist.
"Ugh!" John grunted in pain, feeling a crushing force tightening around him, as if it would shatter him completely.
What terrified him most was the realization that no skills or talents worked here, meaning his death wouldn't trigger his Undying and Immortal talent. Death here meant a final end.
He felt death creeping upon him, powerless to resist.
Unwilling to give in, John desperately pulled two Undying Flames dropped by Blood Moon from his Storage Ring, hurling them at Sea King.
Boom...
The Undying Flames exploded, blazing brightly, only to fizzle out a moment later without inflicting any harm on Sea King.
With a dismissive sneer, Sea King said, "I told you, human. Here, I am invincible. Accept your fate."
As he spoke, his fist tightened further.
It was over.
Blood poured from John's seven orifices, his body contorting, and he closed his eyes in
despair.
He'd done everything he could; he could only hope that Earth would be spared in this
lifetime...
Buzz!
Suddenly, a strange pulse of power erupted, and an item flew from his storage space.
It was the Creation Stone.
"What's this?" Sea King frowned, staring intently at the Creation Stone, his expression
growing wary.
He could feel a tremor in his world within, sensing a distinct threat.
John, too, looked puzzled. The energy from the Creation Stone enveloped him, instantly nullifying the crushing force around him.
Not only that, but he felt his powers return.
Buzz!
Another hum resounded as the Creation Stone's glow intensified, and a terrifying surge of
energy shook the entire space.
"Chaos Force!" Sea King shouted in alarm, his expression shifting in rage and fear. "Human,
get out of here!"
Panic-stricken, he tried to expel John and the Creation Stone from his world.
But it was too late.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed as the entire space collapsed, the endless sea dissipating.
John reappeared in the boundless void.
And moments later, Sea King also emerged.
"Argh!" Sea King coughed, blood spilling from his mouth, his face pale as he dropped to one
knee, both shocked and furious.
"Damn you! You destroyed my world within the palm!" he roared, only to cough up another
mouthful of blood.
His world was connected to his very being. With its destruction, his body and soul had suffered severe trauma.
Though he still held the Heart of the Continent, he'd spent tens of thousands of years creating
that world.
Now, John had reduced it to nothing.
"Master, what happened? Why is this human still alive?" The guardian dragon stared in confusion at the two of them, and even more bewildered to see Sea King injured.
"Shut up, you old fool!" Sea King's rage surged. If not for the guardian dragon, he'd never
have drawn John into his inner world.
And his world wouldn't have been destroyed.
Now, all he wanted was to kill the guardian dragon on the spot, but he restrained himself,
clinging to his greater plans.
"Human, you will die!" Sea King roared, channeling all his fury at John as he charged forward.
His aura was unstable, his power significantly weakened.
"Heh, do you really think you're still a match for me now?" John sneered, focusing his energy
as he summoned Golden Lotus Hellfire once more.
Whoosh!
Golden flames erupted, instantly engulfing Sea King.
"Argh..." Sea King's anguished cries filled the air as he staggered, his newly conjured skill
dissipating in an instant.
"Heaven and Earth Transformation!" John shouted, unleashing a fierce whirlwind as he
resumed his Heaven and Earth Transformation state.
Whoosh!
With his fist clenched, John threw a devastating punch toward Sea King, relying solely on his
raw physical strength without using any additional skills.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Boom!
Sea King spat blood as he was sent flying back, but it wasn't a fatal blow.
Even in his weakened state, his body's resilience was formidable.
Wasting no time, John activated the Immortal Art, Nine Heavens Sword.
Buzz!
The space tore open, and three terrifying sword beams descended, slicing relentlessly toward
Sea King. "Back off!" Sea King roared, commanding the vast water element around him to condense
into a barrier, barely managing to fend off the sword attacks.
John frowned, summoning his own elemental powers, and launched a flurry of magical
attacks that rained down like a storm.
Spatial Rift Slash!
Annihilation!
Light Sword Slash!
Holy Light Demon-Buster Blast!
Flying Sword Strike!
...
The intense energy ripped through the space, fracturing it entirely.
The water barrier protecting Sea King shattered under the relentless assault, and countless
attacks descended upon him.
Boom, boom...
The deafening explosions left him engulfed, swirling in chaotic spatial currents.
As the energy dissipated, Sea King was left kneeling on the ground, disheveled, with his body battered and covered in wounds. His face twisted in agony as the flames continued to torment
his very soul.
"Truly resilient!" John marveled, sensing Sea King was at the brink of death, yet his attacks
couldn't completely destroy the Sea King's body.
Roar!
With a fierce dragon roar, John transformed into his divine dragon form, further amplifying
his power with Heaven and Earth Transformation, reaching terrifying new heights.
"A dragon? Is he part of the Beast Clan too?" the guardian dragon murmured from afar,
watching in stunned awe as John became a magnificent golden divine dragon. Yet he still believed Sea King would ultimately defeat him.
"I'll see just how strong your body really is!" John roared, summoning a whirlwind as a vast
Power of Laws gathered around him, and he unleashed a barrage of devastating skills once
more.
Boom, boom...
Sea King, now defenseless and filled with rage and resentment, could only let the onslaught
rain down upon him.
Boom!
Finally, he reached his limit, succumbing to John's relentless assault.
Buzz!
The air trembled.
Seizing the moment, John activated his soul skill, Soul Impact, aiming to obliterate Sea
King's soul completely.
"Ugh..." Both he and Sea King spat blood simultaneously.
John's face went pale, feeling the backlash in his own soul.
Even now, Sea King's soul force surpassed his own. "Damn it!" he cursed. Fortunately, he still had Golden Lotus Hellfire. Golden Lotus Hellfire's damage was twice that of Red Lotus Fire, meaning his current soul
force could deal over nine hundred thousand soul damage-more than enough to eliminate
Sea King. He released Heaven and Earth Transformation, returning to his original form, conserving his energy to pour everything into Golden Lotus Hellfire.
Sea King's face twisted in agony, but he looked at John with defiance still in his eyes. "Godslayer, killing me gains you nothing. Let's call a truce; the Heart of Skyline Continent
will be yours," he finally spoke coldly, unable to withstand the soul-burning pain any longer.
"Master, no!" the guardian dragon cried out in panic. If John claimed the Heart of Skyline Continent, it would spell certain death for him.
But John remained unmoved. He looked at Sea King and said calmly, "If you'd offered this
from the start, I might have spared you. But now that I've seen your true strength, I can't let you live." "Human, you will regret this!" Sea King gritted his teeth, accepting his fate as he closed his eyes, allowing Golden Lotus Hellfire to consume and purify his soul, ceasing any further
resistance.
