Chapter 351: Refining the Extermination Immortal Sword and Breaking the Formation
John was in deep distress. His divine skill Creation and Destruction was powerful, but under the destruction caused by this terrifying force, it was barely effective.
He could only continuously activate Creation and Destruction without a moment's rest.
Fortunately, he had the Wrath of the Gods talent, which reduced skill consumption by 99%. Now, it was a matter of whether he or Shadow God would falter first.
"Human, it's useless," Shadow God mocked, seeing through John's intentions. "The formation consumes Spirit Stones, and I have plenty of them. Even if your spiritual power is vast, you won't last long."
John frowned. He could indeed feel some pressure.
Even with the Wrath of the Gods talent reducing his skill consumption, it wasn't without cost. Moreover, the attacks from the Extermination Immortal Sword Array were so terrifying that even with Creation and Destruction, his World-in-Hand was on the verge of collapse.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
He had to find a way to break the formation.
Buzz!
The sword intent hummed as sword rays rained down like a storm.
John vaguely sensed something.
"This is the Sword Law?" he murmured in surprise. He had sensed the Sword Law within this formation, something he hadn't encountered during his comprehension of The
Immortals legacy.
He was already proficient in sword intent and could easily grasp the The Heaven Law.
Perhaps, if he could understand the Sword Law, he would be able to break the Extermination Immortal Sword Array.
Chaos Force surged within him. He activated Creation and Destruction again, and his longsword cleaved down once more, repairing World-in-Hand.
His World-in-Hand was constantly being destroyed and repaired, repeating the cycle.
Everyone watched anxiously.
While they were temporarily safe, no one knew how long John could hold on.
If World-in-Hand was destroyed, they would all die without a doubt.
Among them, only Nature God, with his Heidern Tower, had the ability to resist the attacks of the Extermination Immortal Sword Array.
But even he could only hold on by the skin of his teeth. Breaking the formation was impossible.
The final outcome would still be death.
"Damn it! Human, I advise you to give up struggling," Shadow God sneered from outside the formation, watching as World-in-Hand was repeatedly destroyed and repaired. His brow furrowed in concern, as he felt a hint of pressure.
This Godslayer was too strange. A skill as powerful as that should have a huge energy consumption, yet he had been using it for more than half an hour without stopping.
Shadow God took out a large pile of Spirit Stones, feeling a pang of regret.
Although he had a vast number of Spirit Stones, they were not infinite.
And maintaining the full-force attack of the Extermination Immortal Sword Array consumed a staggering amount of energy.
He couldn't help but think of the Spirit Stone mines that John had plundered, his anger increasing further.
If he had those Spirit Stones, he was confident he could protect Shadow Star.
However, once he killed this human, those Spirit Stone mines would still be his.
He held his breath, eyes icy cold, and continued to fully manipulate the formation, launching an even more intense barrage at John.
He didn't believe that this human could continue using such an enigmatic skill.
Time passed, and unknowingly, a full day had already gone by.
John appeared exhausted, almost mechanically activating Creation and Destruction.
In addition, he had to focus his mind on comprehending the Sword Law, which was severely draining his mental energy.
Everyone around him was anxious but powerless to do anything.
However, Shadow God wasn't faring much better either. Fully activating the formation was also taking a heavy toll on his spirit.
The strong individuals who had recently joined Shadow God's ranks were growing impatient. One of the Lord Gods spoke up, "Shadow God, are you even capable of doing this? If you can't, let us enter Chaos Green Lotus The Secret Area and search for the Chaos Green Lotus ourselves."
"Shut up." Shadow God shot a cold glare at the speaker, saying with a chilling voice, "You are to obey me, and me alone. Anyone who dares defy me, I won't hesitate to destroy them!"
The others frowned, their faces filled with dissatisfaction, but under the pressure of
the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, they could only submit.
Moreover, the soul oaths they had sworn meant that even if they obtained the Chaos Green Lotus, they wouldn't be able to claim it for themselves.
Shadow God continued, "It won't be much longer. This human won't last."
He sensed that John was approaching his limit, his expression growing pleased as he once
again exerted full control over the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation.
[Your comprehension of the Sword Law has reached 10%. You have comprehended the Sword
Law.]
System Notification appeared.
John had finally grasped the Sword Law.
He could clearly perceive the tremendous power of laws contained in the sword beams that were shooting towards him, but he still couldn't stop them.
Buzz!
Suddenly, his spiritual power began to drain rapidly, as four forces relentlessly devoured his spiritual energy.
"What's going on?" he was startled.
He had already used up much of his spiritual power from repeatedly activating Creation and Destruction, and now this strange force was devouring what little remained. He wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
If his spiritual power ran out, his World-in-Hand would inevitably be destroyed, and everyone else would die along with him.
"Something's wrong!" he frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity.
When he was refining the United Sword, his spiritual power had been similarly devoured.
Now, four strange forces were aggressively consuming his spiritual energy.
He began to suspect what was happening.
It was the four divine swords of the United Sword Formation.
He was refining these four divine swords-or rather, these four divine swords had actively
chosen him as their master.
This was a good thing, but right now, it was deadly for him.
He needed enough spiritual power to continue using Creation and Destruction, or the consequences would be disastrous.
"Perhaps, if I refine the four divine swords, the formation will fall apart on its own." He glanced at his stats.
He still had over 170,000 spiritual power left, but in just this short time, over 40,000 had already been devoured.
At this rate, his spiritual power would not be enough to sustain the refinement of these four
divine swords.
"Do you have any pills that can restore spiritual power? Hand them over to me." John looked
at Nature God and the others, ordering them.
They were momentarily stunned, then quickly took out a large number of Spiritual Power Pills and handed them over to him.
And these were all rare mid-tier Spiritual Power Pills and high-tier Spiritual Power Pills.
A mid-tier Spiritual Power Pill restores 200 spiritual power per second for 200 seconds.
A high-tier Spiritual Power Pill restores 500 spiritual power per second for 300 seconds. The effects of the mid-tier and high-tier Spiritual Power Pills could be stacked, but the recovery speed still couldn't match the speed at which the divine swords were devouring his
spiritual power.
"Maybe I can refine one of the divine swords first." John had an idea, and forcibly severed the three remaining forces that were devouring his spiritual power.
Only one force remained, devouring his spiritual energy, but he could just about manage to
hold on.
"Ha ha, human, it seems like you can't hold on anymore!" Outside the formation, Shadow God saw John starting to take the pills and laughed triumphantly.
He was certain that the skill John was using consumed an enormous amount of energy. Now, by using pills to restore his spiritual power, it was surely already too late. Seeing this, Shadow God felt a surge of hope and took out another pile of Spirit Stones to replenish the consumption of the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation.
He had acquired the Four Extermination Swords and could set up the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, but he hadn't mastered the Sword Law, so he couldn't refine these divine
swords.
As a result, he didn't realize that John was in the process of refining one of the divine swords.
Time passed, minute by minute.
John's spiritual power was rapidly depleting, and just as it was about to run out, the strange force devouring his spiritual power vanished.
He had formed a mysterious connection with one of the divine swords, as if it had become a
part of his body.
Poof!
At that moment, a sword beam flashed and instantly pierced through his body.
John staggered, coughing up a mouthful of blood, badly wounded.
"John!" Sini and the others cried out in worry.
"Ha ha, human, it's over now. Die!" Shadow God saw this and grinned manically, controlling
the sky full of sword beams, launching them down with full force.
"Heh, it's over, indeed." John sneered, looking at the vast sea of sword beams descending
upon him. There was not the slightest bit of panic in his eyes.
"Rise!" He casually waved his hand, and the sky full of sword beams shattered with a
thunderous crash. In one direction of the formation, a faint cyan longsword shot up into the
air, causing the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation to collapse with a resounding
crash.
The cyan longsword floated gracefully before John, hovering silently.
A faint cyan glow flickered, lively and ethereal, and the cold blade of the sword radiated a
sharp, murderous aura.
It was one of the Four Extermination Swords-the Extermination Immortal Sword.
Cough!
As the formation shattered, Shadow God was struck by a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of
blood. His eyes widened in shock as he glared at John.
"Impossible! You-you actually refined the Extermination Immortal Sword?" His expression was one of utter disbelief, "Human, how did you manage to do this?"
Not just him, but even the women standing next to John were stunned.
John hadn't done anything; he simply waved his hand, and the cyan longsword flew toward
him.
As though it had become one with him.
Clink!
John gently tapped the sword's body, emitting a crisp, clear ringing sound that was both
enchanting and unsettling.
A confident smile appeared on his face as he looked at the stunned Shadow God. With a
thought, he activated his Sword Mastery.
Whirr!
A flash of cyan sword energy shot out, aimed directly at Shadow God.
"Not good..." Shadow God's expression shifted. He finally reacted, but it was already too late
to dodge.
Thud!
Blood splattered as he was pierced by the longsword, suffering a devastating blow to his soul.
"Die, Judgment!" John's cold voice rang out, and the Extermination Immortal Sword flew once more, this time infused with the The Heaven laws and a powerful soul attack. "No! Human, you can't kill me..." Shadow God, sensing the imminent threat of death, panicked and hurriedly begged for mercy.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But the longsword pierced through his soul, his voice was abruptly cut off, and he completely
perished.
[You have slain Shadow God and gained 26,766,000,000 experience points.]
[Your level has increased...]
[The Plunder talent is activated, granting you the following: Divine-Level Formation Talent,
10% understanding of the Shadow Laws, 2% understanding of the The Heaven Laws, +10,000 Shadow Power.]
[Your understanding of the Shadow Laws has reached 100%, and you have become the
new Shadow Star Sovereign.]
The notification flashed before him.
"Shadow Star Sovereign?" John was taken aback as a tremendous surge of Shadow Laws
flooded through him. Everything around him became incredibly clear, and he felt as if he was in control of everything, as though he were within his World-in-Hand.
"So that's how it is!" He realized, the reason Lord Gods were so powerful was that they
controlled an entire planet.
The Overseer only controlled a World-in-Hand, which put them at a significant disadvantage compared to a Lord God.
Of course, John was an exception.
"It seems... this doesn't really amount to much." He furrowed his brows. Even though he had
become the Sovereign of Shadow Star, the current state of Shadow Star was pitiful, its The
power of laws weak, and it could collapse at any moment. Especially now that the Chaos Green Lotus had appeared.
