Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 335: Slaying Burning Sky and Netherworld Hellfire



"Get lost!" John roared, his voice thunderous as a resonant dragon's cry echoed across the heavens. Golden light flared, and he transformed directly into his divine dragon form.

Boom!

The impact sent him reeling. Blood surged within him as he was once again blasted backward.

Even in the divine dragon state, empowered by the Heaven and Earth Transformation, he couldn't withstand Burning Sky's relentless assault.

John's only edge against Burning Sky was his mastery of Soul Techniques. Yet, as someone trained in the Sea Clan's Condensed Spirit Technique, his soul-based attacks were useless unless his opponent's physical body was first destroyed.

Jolyne was right-this guy was practically invincible.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Human, I almost feel bad about killing you. But unfortunately, you've made the wrong choice," Burning Sky sneered, black flames surging around his body. His aura exuded a terrifying, oppressive power. Stepping forward, he closed the distance in an instant and raised his fist, slamming it down toward John's dragon head.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rocked the space. John was once again annihilated without suspense.

The Lifesaver talent triggered, and he resurrected on the spot, gaining ten seconds of invincibility.

"I refuse to believe you're truly invincible!" John's battle spirit ignited entirely. Letting out another resonant dragon's roar, he unleashed a tempest. The overwhelming power of elemental laws surged as hundreds of magical spells and countless sword lights swept toward Burning Sky like an unstoppable tide.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions reverberated throughout the battlefield as Burning Sky struggled to break free from the barrage of skills. His movements grew disheveled, and his injuries worsened, though none were fatal.

"Human, you are indeed powerful. But how long can your spiritual power last?" Burning Sky sneered, his expression feral as his aura swelled again. He lunged at John once more.

"Longer than you think," John retorted without a hint of fear. Thanks to his Wrath of the Gods talent, his spiritual power consumption was reduced by 99%, and his skill cooldowns were cut by the same margin. He was confident he could outlast Burning Sky. The divine dragon and the colossal giant clashed again in a chaotic melee.

John was clearly no match for Burning Sky and continued to fall back.

When his Lifesaver talent's invincibility ended, he was killed once more.

But Burning Sky wasn't faring much better. John's relentless skill attacks carried percentage- based damage and were bolstered by The Heaven's laws, making the battle excruciatingly difficult for him. What was worse, John's attacks seemed endless, as though they required no cooldown at all.

"Cough!" Resurrecting again, John spat out a mouthful of blood. His soul had taken yet another heavy blow.

But then, he noticed something peculiar about Burning Sky. While still terrifyingly strong, the chaotic aura around him had grown increasingly unstable.

Realizing this, John smirked coldly. "It seems you haven't fully mastered the fusion of these three laws."

"Hmph. Killing you doesn't require perfection," Burning Sky snarled, his face grim. He couldn't sustain this state for much longer. Letting out a furious roar, he charged at John again.

Terrifying energy rippled through the air, causing the space around them to tremble. John was blasted apart over a dozen times, his soul taking heavy damage. He endured solely through his indomitable will.

Burning Sky, on the other hand, was in even worse shape. Though he hadn't been obliterated by John's attacks, the power within him was nearing its absolute limit.

"Human, what kind of talent do you possess?!" he roared, his voice tinged with greed. His eyes gleamed with avarice, certain that John's prolonged combat capability was tied to his innate talent.

If he could obtain that talent, his own strength would undoubtedly soar, perhaps even allowing him to break through to the fabled four-star The Overseer rank.

John ignored his question and launched another series of relentless attacks. Countless magical skills and a storm of sword lights surged toward Burning Sky once more.

"Damn it!" Burning Sky's expression grew graver. His internal energy reserves were almost entirely depleted, leaving him unable to withstand the endless onslaught.

"Human, I refuse to believe you can still fight me once I destroy your World-in-

Hand!" Disregarding John's attacks, Burning Sky gathered the last remnants of his strength

and began violently tearing apart John's World-in-Hand.

A howling gale filled the battlefield as terrifying energy shattered space itself. Chaotic currents swirled wildly, gradually devouring John's World-in-Hand bit by bit.

John, however, remained unfazed. "Hmph. Do you think I'd pull you into my World-in- Hand if I feared your attacks?" His voice was calm yet scornful. In his divine dragon state, he controlled the United Sword, summoning the divine skill Creation and Destruction, slashing directly at the spatial fissure.

"What is he doing?" Burning Sky frowned, puzzled. John's actions seemed self-destructive, hastening the collapse of his World-in-Hand.

But the next moment, Burning Sky froze in shock.

The massive sword strike passed through the fissure, and the tear in space began to close. Not only was John's World-in-Hand repaired, but it also became even more stable.

"What kind of power is this?!" Burning Sky was horrified. He vividly remembered John using the same skill to obliterate Humdwar's World-in-Hand.

Now, to his disbelief, that bizarre ability had somehow repaired and reinforced the damaged World-in-Hand instead.

John reverted from his divine dragon state, transforming into a towering giant. He gazed calmly at the disheveled Burning Sky, his expression unreadable as he spoke evenly: "If I'm not mistaken, your Witch Clan's cultivation techniques focus on enhancing the physical body, correct? Otherwise, you would've already been dead by now."

Burning Sky's eye twitched slightly as he struggled to conceal the fear rising within him. John's deduction was spot on.

He was at his limit. Clenching his teeth, he said grimly, "Godslayer, let me leave. I can guarantee that we'll stay out of each other's way from now on. But if the Witch Clan

intervenes, you will stand no chance against us."

The Witch Clan intervenes?

John frowned. Hadn't the Witch Clan already joined the fray? It seemed there was more to this

situation than met the eye.

John had no intention of sparing Burning Sky. The sword energy around him hummed violently as he activated the Immortal Art: Nine Heavens Sword. Three massive sword beams tore through the sky and came crashing down with an ear-splitting roar.

"You ignorant human! You'll regret this!" Burning Sky shouted in a mixture of fury and despair, but there was nothing he could do.

He was completely spent. The three sword beams struck him with devastating force, obliterating his body on impact.

Boom!

Burning Sky's physical body was destroyed, exposing his soul. John didn't finish him off immediately. Instead, golden flames of the Golden Lotus Hellfire surged around him as he activated the soul skill Memory Extraction.

John's current level in Soul Techniques far exceeded that of a three-star The Overseer.

Burning Sky had no means to resist. The burning pain of the Golden Lotus Hellfire made his torment unbearable.

A surge of powerful soul energy effortlessly penetrated the deepest recesses of Burning Sky's mind.

In an instant, John received a flood of information. His brow furrowed, his expression turning grim as the weight of the revelations settled in.

Burning Sky, regaining partial clarity, managed to restore his body by sheer willpower. He forcibly severed the Memory Extraction, but his face turned deathly pale, his soul gravely

injured.

"What did you do to me?" he demanded, glaring at John with a mixture of rage and dread. The

truth was dawning on him.

"Hmph. You're no longer of any use," John replied icily, his expression devoid of mercy. His

attacks grew even more ferocious as countless skills rained down upon Burning Sky.

This time, Burning Sky could barely muster any resistance. He was obliterated outright.

Without hesitation, John cast Soul Impact.

The air trembled as his condensed soul energy formed a razor-sharp blade. It pierced through Burning Sky's exposed soul in an instant.

Burning Sky let out a muffled groan. His soul fire was extinguished. He was utterly and

completely dead.

[You have slain The Overseer, Burning Sky, gaining 26.766 trillion experience points.]

[Your level has increased to 24,110...]

[Plunder talent activated. You have obtained Netherworld Hellfire, Eight Desolation Body

Tempering Art, +1% comprehension of The Heaven's Laws, +10,000 Spiritual Power, and

+1,000 skill points.]

John's eyes flickered with surprise and delight.

He had actually plundered Burning Sky's Netherworld Hellfire and acquired a high-tier mind technique of the Witch Clan, the Eight Desolation Body Tempering Art.

His earlier suspicion was correct: the Witch Clan indeed cultivated techniques focused on

enhancing physical strength.

Burning Sky's death also brought other rewards. He had dropped treasures from the Witch

Clan, Beast Clan, and Sea Clan, including a two-star Holy Artifact gauntlet, the Heart of the Continent, and various miscellaneous items.

John casually collected them but didn't examine the rewards closely. His brow remained furrowed as he processed the memories extracted from Burning Sky.

The truth behind the Game of Gods was far more sinister than he had imagined. The real mastermind wasn't the Eight Lord Gods, but a being of unparalleled terror-the Creator God! The Creator God's goal was to destroy all life-bearing planets and recreate an entirely new

world.

Even without John's interference, the World of Gods would eventually connect with Shadow

Star.

His actions had merely accelerated the timeline of the game.

The Witch God, fully aware of the Witch Clan's inevitable downfall, had sent Burning Sky with

a singular purpose: to plunder a treasure soon to be born on Shadow Star, the Chaos Green

Lotus.

This was the Immortals' treasure, capable of reconstructing a physical body and transforming it into a chaotic physique, enabling its wielder to escape the impending catastrophe. John also uncovered a critical piece of information: the destruction of the Immortals and the

decline of the Beast Clan were closely tied to the Witch Clan. Behind it all, the Witch Clan's influence loomed in the shadows.

Moreover, the Witch Clan had already secretly allied with the Shadow Clan.

"The Witch God... To think he slaughtered the Immortals to curry favor with the Creator God

and ascend as a Lord God. This guy is even more despicable than the Shadow Lord God," John

muttered coldly, his gaze icy. Despite his rage, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Creator God, a being who had yet to appear in person, possessed unfathomable powers.

His abilities were bizarre and overwhelming, allowing him to manipulate The Heaven and

create Lord Gods at will.

John knew that with his current strength, confronting the Creator God would only lead to certain death.

He had to seize every opportunity to grow stronger as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the Creator God couldn't descend into this world freely, so John still had time.

Taking a deep breath, he began examining the abilities he had plundered from Burning Sky. [Netherworld Hellfire: A powerful soul flame with terrifying corrosive properties.

Absorbable.] Absorbable?

John was surprised. This Netherworld Hellfire could be absorbed and refined by his Golden

Flame Lotus.

Though intrigued, he didn't rush into absorption, choosing instead to review the techniques

he had plundered.

[Eight Desolation Body Tempering Art: Level 1, a high-tier Witch Clan technique that

enhances physical strength.]

As expected, it was a technique designed to strengthen the body. John's earlier suspicions were confirmed. Moreover, when combined with the Sea Clan's techniques, this art could significantly bolster soul defense.

The Eight Desolation Body Tempering Art enhanced physical strength and increased defense,

while the Sea Clan's Tranquil Mind Technique ensured that as long as the body wasn't

destroyed, the soul would remain unharmed.

Of course, some exceptional soul attacks-such as the Golden Lotus Hellfire or the

Netherworld Hellfire-could bypass this safeguard.

But now that John controlled both these abilities, and with the presence of the Golden Flame

Lotus, he no longer feared Hellfire-based attacks.

"This was truly a bountiful haul," John thought with satisfaction. With a single thought, he

exited the World-in-Hand.

Outside, Ice Talker and Coldman, along with a few surviving experts from various races, were locked in battle. The fight was nearing its conclusion.

With only a handful of two-star The Overseers barely holding on.

John intervened directly. The overwhelming power of The Heaven's laws surged forth,

obliterating the remaining opponents with ease.

His comprehension of The Heaven's laws soared further, reaching 52%, surpassing his

previous grasp of The Shadow's laws.

Several of the defeated Overseers dropped Heart of the Continent fragments, which John promptly collected.
