Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Transformation into a Dragon, Leaving the Treasure Realm
A flickering notification appeared, and a powerful surge of energy burst forth from within John.

“Roar…”

A dragon’s roar reverberated through the air, and a massive, menacing dragon’s shadow materialized behind him.

“This is the Azure Dragon Bloodline!” Roc sensed the overwhelming energy within John and gasped in disbelief.

The Azure Dragon was a formidable lower-tier god from the Beast Clan, possessing immense strength.

Now, with the appearance of the Azure Dragon Bloodline in John, there could be only one explanation— the Azure Dragon must have perished.

“Could it be that this human killed him?” Roc stared at John’s figure, swallowing hard, his heart filling with even more reverence and fear.

Whoosh!

Violent gusts of wind surged as the Monster Bone, Monster Claw, Monster Core, and Monster Spirit—four invaluable treasures—emerged from John’s body. Rather than merging into his physique, they instead integrated into the massive, ferocious dragon’s shadow behind him.

“Roar…”

Another dragon’s roar sounded, and the shadow of the dragon grew even more solid, almost as if it had materialized into a tangible form.

Storm clouds gathered, and the colossal form of the divine dragon whistled through the sky before swiftly drilling back into John’s body, disappearing without a trace.

[You have completely fused with the Beast Clan’s treasures. All four base attributes increased by 100,000 points.]

[You have comprehended a unique skill: Dragon Transformation.]

[Dragon Transformation: Unique Skill. Transforms the user into a dragon, boosting attributes by 50%, consuming 1 point of spiritual power per second.]

Terrifying energy surged through him, and John’s power was elevated to an even greater height.

Not only that, but he had also gained a unique skill—Dragon Transformation.

In this form, his entire being would take the shape of a dragon, and all his attributes would increase by 50%.

Maintaining the dragon form would consume spiritual power, but he possessed the Wrath of the Gods talent, reducing spiritual power consumption by 99%.

With his current 459 points of spiritual power, he could sustain Dragon Transformation for more than twelve hours.

Of course, in battle situations, the consumption of spiritual power would accelerate, shortening the duration.

Still, for him, it was more than sufficient.

After refining and merging with the Beast Clan’s treasures, his four base attributes increased by an additional 110,000 points.

Moreover, with the Power of the Giant Spirit enhancement, his strength attribute alone increased by 220,000 points.

With his current power, he could easily slay a demigod-level being.

Even when facing a lower-tier god, he would still have a fighting chance. If his opponent lacked any soul-attack methods, he was confident that he could even kill a lower-tier god.

“Lord, your strength has increased once again.” Roc noticed that John had successfully merged with the Beast Clan’s treasures, feeling a twinge of unease in his heart.

He could already slay demigod beings before. Now, he would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

“Lord, what’s our next move?” Behemoth also came over, curiously inquiring.

“Find more treasures and rob other powerhouses from different races,” John responded calmly.

There were still more than ten days left until the end of the treasure exploration. He didn’t want to waste any time. The more treasures he could plunder, the more he could help others fuse with the treasures to increase their strength.

“Of course, there’s one more crucial thing to do—find the Azure Family disciples and eliminate them.”

John and his companions left the area, continuing to wander through the Treasure Realm.

…

In the following days, they raided many more powerhouses from other races and killed quite a few of them as well.

Most of their targets were from the gods, Angel Race, Dark Humans, Orcs, and demon race.

As for disciples of other races, John merely robbed them without killing. He didn’t want to make enemies of all the races.

There was just one day left before the Treasure Realm would close, but they still hadn’t found any members of the Azure Family.

John suspected that those guys must have gone into hiding.

Too lazy to continue searching, he went straight to the exit of the Treasure Realm, preparing to lie in wait.

The Treasure Realm could only remain open for one month. If one couldn’t leave in time, they would have to wait another three hundred years.

Aside from various fusion treasures and tools, there were no other living creatures in this realm. It wasn’t suitable for cultivation, and no one wanted to be trapped here for three hundred years.

John and his team guarded the exit of the Treasure Realm, and soon, someone showed up.

They were native humans from the Skyline Continent, only three of them.

John had never encountered them before and guessed that these guys had been hiding and cultivating the entire time.

“Stop right there! If you want to leave, hand over all your treasures!” Behemoth stepped forward, his gigantic frame completely blocking the exit. He stared coldly at the trio.

“Why should we?” One of them looked at Behemoth’s mountain-like body and couldn’t help swallowing hard.

“Because I can kill you!” Roc stepped forward as well, speaking indifferently. “You have two choices: obediently hand over your treasures and then leave, or I’ll kill you and take the treasures myself.”

“You’re pushing us too far!” The leader’s expression was unwilling, but then he glanced at John, standing silently to the side, and quickly said, “Godslayer, we from the Skyline Continent have no grievances with you. How about this—we’ll give you our Bloodline Awakening Stones, Light Spirit Stones, and Dark Spirit Stones, and you let us go?”

John glanced at the one who spoke and said coldly, “I want all the treasures you have on you.”

Roc took a step forward, a spear appearing in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

“Fine, we’ll hand them over.” The three were reluctant, but faced with the threat of death, they decided to surrender their treasures.

John’s voice sounded again, “Don’t try any tricks. I can sense if you’re hiding any treasures.”

The three men froze for a moment, startled. They had indeed planned to keep some treasures hidden.

“Master, wait a moment. There are more people coming.” One of the humans from the Skyline Continent noticed disciples from other races, including the gods and Angel Race, approaching and quickly stopped the leader.

What John was doing would undoubtedly offend everyone present. If they all decided to resist together, there might be trouble.

“Why are you blocking the way? Get lost!” The leader, a peak ninth-tier gods powerhouse, sneered arrogantly. He glanced at Behemoth with cold disdain.

Buzz!

At that moment, a cold gleam flashed, and Roc suddenly made his move. Before the arrogant god could even react, he was instantly killed.

“Roc, how dare you attack us gods? Do you have a death wish?” The gods’ people continued to shout arrogantly.

“Hmph, you’re exactly the ones I want to kill,” Roc replied dismissively. Without wasting any more words, he swung his spear. His demigod-level strength burst forth, effortlessly obliterating the peak ninth-tier powerhouses in front of him.

The gods and Angel Race powerhouses were all massacred, their precious treasures scattering across the ground.

Sara and Bonnie stepped forward and collected each piece of treasure, one by one.

“Master, I’m willing to hand over all my treasures. Please, just let us leave.” The three humans from the Skyline Continent were terrified now and hurriedly pleaded.

“Wait here first!” John ignored them and looked beyond, noticing members of the Azure Family.

“Roc, capture those guys over there. Don’t kill them yet,” he immediately ordered.

“Yes, sir!” Roc responded, his figure flashing as he appeared in front of Hummer and his group of ten. With a wave of his hand, a gust of fierce wind swept up the group and threw them directly in front of John.

“John, you’re still alive?!” Hummer looked at John in disbelief.

“What’s wrong? You seem surprised.” John glanced at Hummer mockingly, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Tell me all the secrets of your cultivation sects, and I’ll give you a swift death.”

“Hmph, don’t even think about getting any information out of me.” Hummer snorted coldly, resolved to face death.

John stared at him coldly, not wasting any more words. He immediately activated his soul skill, Memory Extraction.

Buzz!

A wave of soul energy surged, easily penetrating Hummer’s mind and extracting his memories.

Hummer stood there dazed, frozen in place.

John frowned. He didn’t obtain any useful information.

Hummer didn’t know much—most of it was similar to what he had already extracted from the god who had refined the Immortals’ treasure.

The only noteworthy piece of information was that the cultivation sects’ inheritance was hidden within the World of Gods.

However, as to how to obtain it, even Hummer didn’t know.

“What… what did you do to me?” Hummer regained his senses, feeling a sharp pain piercing through his soul. He looked at John in terror.

John had no interest in engaging further. He casually waved his hand at Roc and said calmly, “These guys are useless now. Kill them all.”

“Understood!” Roc moved swiftly, easily slaughtering the ten Azure Family disciples.

These people were weaklings, not even reaching the seventh tier in strength.

However, they did possess quite a number of valuable treasures—ten sets of Immortals’ artifacts and a large amount of Spirit Stones.

Sara and Bonnie quickly gathered all the treasures.

Not long after, more disciples from the Dark Humans, Orcs, and Demon Race arrived one after another.

John gave the order to eliminate every last one of them.

As for the remaining disciples from other races, he didn’t go to the extent of exterminating them. He glanced at those trembling in fear and said indifferently, “Hand over all the treasures on you, and you can leave.”

The group looked down at the corpses on the ground, swallowing nervously, not daring to show any hint of resistance.

Those bodies belonged to the gods and their subordinate races, the most powerful beings in the Skyline Continent.

If John dared to kill members of the gods, what would hold him back from killing them?

“Master, we’re willing to hand everything over,” the three humans from the Skyline Continent standing at the front said immediately, surrendering their treasures obediently.

Most of what they handed over were Spirit Stones of the basic elements: water, fire, wind, and earth.

To fuse the treasures of the Skyline Continent’s human race, one needed to comprehend the power of laws associated with at least one of these basic elements.

“Alright, you can go now.” John nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Behemoth to step aside.

The three humans, fearing that John might change his mind, didn’t dare linger for even a second and hastily fled the area.

Next up were three members of the Demon Race.

“Stop.” John blocked one of them and used Memory Extraction again. With a cold smile, he said, “You still have 10 Dark Spirit Stones and 1,192 Skill Stones that you haven’t handed over.”

“Wh-what?” The man was terrified and instinctively shook his head in denial.

“Roc!” John signaled Roc, who was standing nearby.

Splat!

Blood splattered as the man was instantly beheaded, and, sure enough, 10 Dark Spirit Stones and over a thousand Skill Stones fell from his body.

John spoke coldly, “This is your last warning. I have a way of detecting hidden treasures. Anyone who dares to keep something for themselves will end up like him.”

He pointed at the corpse on the ground, issuing a chilling threat.

In reality, he didn’t have any means of detecting hidden treasures; it was merely the effect of using Memory Extraction.

But Memory Extraction consumed an enormous amount of energy, so it wasn’t something he could use continuously. He had to make an example of someone to intimidate the others.

After witnessing this, everyone was struck with fear and didn’t dare hide anything anymore. They lined up obediently and handed over all their treasures.

…

Atop the snow-capped mountain.

The spatial rift opened once more, and the gods of various races craned their necks, waiting eagerly.

Very soon, three figures emerged—it was the three humans from the Skyline Continent. Their faces were pale, and just thinking about John’s terrifying power still sent shivers down their spines.
