Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 341: Battling Lord Gods, the New Heaven Law



John paused for a moment, deep in thought, before speaking: "Tell Armstrong to inform Ice Talker that I know what to do."

"Got it. Boss, there's another thing." Ritchie nodded and continued, "Ice Talker mentioned that the Heaven Law is weakening, and the protection from The Overseer is starting to fade."

"What?" John furrowed his brows, his expression turning serious.

The Heaven protection was his greatest source of support.

Without it, he would have to face the Lord God-level powerhouses directly. Given his current strength, he was nowhere near being able to take on a Lord God.

A sense of pressure washed over him.

He had to break through to mid-tier gods as soon as possible and increase his The Overseer rank.

"Boss, is this really that serious?" Ritchie asked, noticing John's grave expression.

He didn't fully understand what the Heaven Law protection was, but he could tell it was important.

John nodded and explained, "It's very important. Without the Heaven Law protection, we'll be facing the threat of Lord Gods."

"Lord Gods..." Ritchie swallowed hard.

Although he had just entered Shadow Star, he understood what a Lord God was.

They were beings far beyond the power of gods. In front of a Lord God, even gods themselves were like ants.

Fear gripped him, and he asked nervously, "Boss, what should we do?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

John took a deep breath, managing to calm himself. "The Heaven Law protection hasn't disappeared completely yet. As long as we can gain the strength to fight a Lord God before that happens, we should be fine."

He was confident that once he reached mid-tier gods and The Overseer's rank hit three stars, he would have enough strength to face Shadow God.

However, as it stood, he couldn't risk breaking the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star around Shadow Star.

Even if he broke through to mid-tier gods, he'd still only be able to hold his own against a single Lord God. If he encountered more than one, he would be completely outmatched.

He glanced at his level.

Over the past few days, he had destroyed over a dozen regular Shadow Clan cities and slain countless Shadow Clan warriors. His level had increased to over 27,000.

Reaching level 50,000 still felt like a distant goal.

"Ritchie, I'll leave things here in your hands, along with the Blues Family. If there's any news, let me know immediately," he instructed Ritchie.

"Also, make sure to keep an eye on Sini and Tracy. Don't let them get up to any mischief." John decided to go off on his own to continue leveling up, worried that the two women might secretly slip away again.

Sini's strength had increased dramatically, and now, World-in-Hand was no longer able to restrain her.

"Don't worry, boss, leave it to me," Ritchie assured him.

John didn't say anything more. With a thought, he tore open a rift in space and vanished.

He appeared in the wilderness, continuing his search for regular Shadow Clan cities to destroy.

Roar... Roar...

The sounds of countless Hunters echoed around him as they surged forward.

John scoffed. United Sword appeared in his hand, and several elements of The Power of Laws surged, the sword intent humming with power.

A storm of sword beams and magic skills rained down, decimating the Hunters.

His strength had grown significantly, and dealing with these regular Hunters was no longer a challenge.

Apart from the Golden-Tier Hunters he encountered in The Immortals' Secret Area, he hadn't run into another large group of them.

He was certain that Shadow Star still had Golden-Tier Hunters-he just didn't know where they were hiding.

As he wandered through the wilderness, slaughtering Hunters and searching for Shadow Clan cities.

He came across a few other players, but they had all been killed by the Hunters.

He didn't pay much attention to them. The Gods' Game had reconnected with Earth, and the world was in chaos. The situation was dire, and he couldn't save everyone.

...

Half a month passed without him realizing it. John had destroyed more than twenty regular Shadow Clan cities, earning a bountiful reward-over four hundred million skill

stones, enough to level up all of his techniques to the 20,000 mark.

However, in the last few days, he had noticed that the Heaven power was weakening more and more. The protection from The Overseer could disappear at any moment.

Looking at his level, he had risen to over 34,000.

"Leveling up is still too slow," John muttered, standing on the ruins of a city he had just

destroyed.

It seemed like the Shadow Clan had become numb to their losses. He had wiped out over forty cities, and yet no main cities had come to their rescue.

It appeared that the Shadow Clan's situation was dire too, with all their efforts focused on protecting the main cities, leaving their ordinary cities to be completely abandoned.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed through the air.

The starry sky above flickered, and a massive rift in space appeared, with terrifying energy pulsing through it.

Someone was attacking the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star!

John was startled. He had caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure disappearing into the rift.

Then, the rift closed, and the Star Dust continued to sparkle as if nothing had happened.

"Lord God!" John frowned deeply. He was sure that the figure who had just entered Shadow Star was a Lord God power, and not a Shadow God.

A sense of unease gripped his heart. He quickly contacted Ritchie, asking if Nature Clan knew anything about the situation.

Ritchie logged off and contacted Armstrong.

A few minutes later, he logged back in.

Ritchie: "Boss, I asked Armstrong about the news from Nature Clan. It turns out that all

eight Lord Gods are in a battle in the Void, and none of them have descended into Shadow Star. Also, Lord Gods can't break the Great Formation of the Surrounding Star."

All eight Lord Gods are there?

John frowned. He was certain that the figure he had seen earlier was a Lord God.

It seemed that there were more than just eight Lord Gods in the entire star domain.

[System Announcement: The Heaven Law is disrupted, and The Overseer's protection, The Heaven Protection, has vanished.]

...

Suddenly, three system notifications echoed.

John's frown deepened, and a growing sense of unease overwhelmed him.

Something major was happening in Shadow Star.

Ding.

At that moment, Ritchie sent another private message.

Ritchie: "Boss, there really is a Lord God who descended. He's arrived at Purple Sky City, and

his targets are Sini and Tracy!"

John's expression shifted. Without time to reply, he immediately opened a spatial rift and

rushed toward Purple Sky City.

Boom!

As soon as his figure appeared, a tremendous tremor shook the ground, and an overwhelming

aura of pressure spread out.

The Four Symbols Guardian Formation and the Seven Kill Formation were instantly shattered,

and Purple Sky City was nearly destroyed.

Above the city, a gray-robed elder stood, holding a long spear. His robes fluttered in the air,

exuding a terrifying aura.

The surrounding Hunters trembled, too afraid to approach.

Lord God!

John moved swiftly, landing on the city walls. He fixed his gaze on the gray-robed elder,

unable to identify his race. Coldly, he asked, "Who are you?"

The gray-robed elder slightly lowered his head, his eyes filled with disdain. He spoke indifferently: "You must be the Godslayer, right? My target isn't you. If you don't want to die,

get out of the way."

His voice was calm, his tone indifferent. His long spear hung loosely in his hand, the cold tip aimed directly at Sini and Tracy, standing behind John.

John frowned. He had no idea why the elder was targeting the two women. Could it be because they wielded the Power of the Nine Nether and Star Dust?

A thought crossed his mind, and he drew United Sword from his side, coldly replying, "What if

I don't move?"

"Heh, then I'll kill you both!" The gray-robed elder scoffed, his form suddenly vanishing. The next moment, he appeared directly above John.

A flash of cold light gleamed from his spear as it whistled through the air toward John. This was a basic strike, but John felt an overwhelming force pressing down on him, as if the

very heavens and earth had been bound. He couldn't even raise his sword to block. The pressure was so intense that he could only brace himself.

"Heaven and Earth Transformation!" John roared, unleashing his divine skill, Heaven and

Earth Transformation.

He fused the power of the Lich, gaining the Creator Bloodlines. With the enhancement from Heaven and Earth Transformation, his strength was increased by 200 times.

A fierce wind howled as he transformed into a towering giant, the United Sword growing in

size alongside him. With a mighty swing, he brought the sword down on the gray-robed

elder.

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled, a violent wind whipped through the air, and several people around them were instantly sent flying. A few weaker players were directly obliterated. John was also knocked back repeatedly by the shockwave.

"Huh, so that's all you've got?" He fixed his gaze on the gray-robed elder, feeling relieved.

From the earlier strike, he had sensed that the elder's attributes were similar to his own Heaven and Earth Transformation.

"Ha, you're ignorant!" The gray-robed elder sneered. "Though I have just recently ascended

to Lord God, what I have been granted is the new Heaven Law, something that you could never comprehend."

"God Form!" The elder bellowed, his figure rapidly expanding to match John's size.

Similarly, his attributes were massively amplified, at least ten times stronger than before. "A new Heaven Law?" John frowned, his expression darkening.

He remembered the truth about the Gods' Game that he had learned from the Burning Sky's

memories.

The Creator God aimed to destroy all star domains and rebuild a new order.

With the disappearance of The Overseer's protection, had he already succeeded? John's gaze remained fixed on the gray-robed elder, unshaken. His thoughts raced, and he

immediately used World-in-Hand to gather all the people of Purple Sky City, ensuring they wouldn't be caught in the crossfire of their battle.

The gray-robed elder watched this nonchalantly, sneering. "Humans. It's useless. Even if you die, World-in-Hand will be destroyed, and those people will meet the same fate." "Hmph, do you think you can kill me?" John's voice turned cold as immense sword intent

surged around him. A gigantic sword light condensed, and he unleashed the Immortal Art: Nine Heavens Sword, slashing it toward the gray-robed elder. "Presumptuous!" The elder didn't flinch at the incoming attack. With a slight shake of his spear, he summoned a massive surge of power, shattering the sword light effortlessly. "Die!" The elder's spear lunged forward like a flood dragon leaping from the sea, striking

directly at John's chest without giving him any chance to evade.

Buzz!

Golden light flickered around John's body-Immortal Art: Diamond Body Protection-which

boosted his defenses by a hundredfold.

Boom!

[You have been killed by a Lord God. The Blessed Ring activates...]

A notification flashed before his eyes. Even with his defense increased a hundredfold, John

was still unable to block the gray-robed elder's attack.

John resurrected on the spot, his face pale.

He realized this was an attack using the new Heaven Law. Although he had been killed, the gray-robed elder wasn't unscathed either. The Diamond

Body Protection's 10% damage reflection had wounded him considerably.

"A new Heaven Law? Well then, I'll see whose grasp of the Heaven Law is stronger," John

took a deep breath, and the Heaven Law began to condense around him.
