Chapter 519: Chapter 519: The Eroding Black Mist, Saving Merciless
“Goldflame, hand over the Seed of Fire, or we will all die!” A cold shout rang out, and a sword light flashed, charging toward John and his group.

It was someone from Merciless Church.

“Get away!” Goldflame shouted angrily, her staff sweeping through the air, and flames erupted in every direction.

“Goldflame, you’re here? Attack!” As the battle was about to break out, everyone charged forward.

John didn’t expect such a change. His mind quickly raced, and he was about to open World-in-Hand.

“Kid, don’t move, there’s a Ruin Beast,” Goldflame quickly warned.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed, and terrifying energy swept through, sending them flying through the air.

Merciless Church and Abyss’s powerful forces began attacking, surrounding John and his group.

Even Goldflame, their strongest, was only a six-star Emperor, and she was no match for them.

John was furious. Without hesitation, he unleashed Heaven and Earth Transformation, transforming into a towering giant, his body surging with immense power. Five Golden Wheels of Laws flew out, all charging toward their attackers with all their might.

The entire city was thrown into chaos. Roars and explosions echoed throughout the area as the power of laws surged through the air.

“Damn it!” Thoublade cursed as he watched the destruction of the city. With a thought, he instantly made the entire mountain range disappear, retracting it into his body.

His figure flashed and appeared before John and the others. “Stay close to me. We’re cutting our way out!”

As he spoke, the Golden Wheel of Laws howled once again. A long blade appeared in his hand, thousands of sword lights flashing, engulfing the enemies who had surrounded them.

Screams echoed as these enemies were no match for him. Anyone who touched the sword lights was either dead or severely wounded.

Without pausing, Thoublade swiftly charged toward the energy barrier.

“Hmph, as expected, it’s here.” On the stone platform, Blue Wolf Emperor sneered as he watched this scene. He lifted his foot and stomped heavily on the stone platform.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded, and the stone platform activated, slowly rotating. In the center, a massive black hole formed, devouring everything around it.

The space distorted, and everyone was drawn into its pull, helplessly flying toward the black hole.

Even Thoublade could not resist its force.

“Dammit, Blue Wolf, are you trying to kill us all?” Furious curses rang out as they were uncontrollably drawn toward the sky, only to be devoured by the black hole in the blink of an eye.

“Blue Wolf, are you really going to make a move against us, the Merciless Church?” The cold and beautiful woman was horrified, trying her best to resist, but her body was still being slowly drawn toward the black hole.

On the stone platform, Blue Wolf looked down coldly at this scene, sneering, “Merciless Church, Abyss, do you truly think you’re invincible? This place will become your tomb.”

Anger and fear spread among the crowd.

All the talk about executing Merciless and searching for the Seed of Fire was a lie.

The Seed of Fire was merely bait; the true intention of Creator God was to deal with them all.

“Blue Wolf, may you die a horrible death!”

“Do you think that by killing us, the Kaos Star Domain will be safe? This domain will be destroyed…”

The area was filled with furious curses as many powerful individuals were being devoured by the black hole.

Even Thoublade, no matter how much effort he put forth, was unable to stop it and was slowly being pulled into the black hole.

As they got closer, the force of the black hole’s pull grew stronger and stronger.

“Save yourselves. I cannot withstand the Godslayer Stone Forest.” Thoublade spoke, giving up his resistance, and his form was quickly devoured by the black hole.

John and the others weren’t surprised.

Whoosh!

The space around them twisted, and in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in an unfamiliar space.

The surroundings were shrouded in gray fog, and rows upon rows of stone tablets stood upright, resembling a vast graveyard.

“The Heaven God Tablet!” John exclaimed in shock. These countless stone tablets were all The Heaven God Tablets.

However, all of them were shattered and devoid of any of The Heaven’s power.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel their scalp tingle.

“Chaos, so many shattered The Heaven God Tablets… How many star domains did Kaos destroy?”

“Hmph, what does it matter? In front of Creator God, any life is but an ant.” Thoublade sneered, having already seen through Creator God’s true nature.

Everyone fell silent, their hearts heavy with despair. Entering the Godslayer Stone Forest meant certain death.

“Goldflame, this is all your fault!” The cold woman glared coldly at Goldflame, her killing intent radiating.

Other powerful individuals also gathered around, their eyes filled with hostility, but they were wary of Thoublade’s strength and didn’t dare to make a move.

“Is there no way to leave here?” John asked.

Everyone shook their heads, their faces full of hopelessness.

Thoublade looked at John with some curiosity, then spoke淡ly, “It’s not impossible. If you fuse with the Seed of Fire and enhance World-in-Hand, you could destroy the Godslayer Stone Forest.”

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people’s eyes lit up, and their focus quickly turned back to Goldflame. “Goldflame, you don’t want to die here, do you? Hand over the Seed of Fire.”

“Hmph. I’ve already told you, the Seed of Fire isn’t here.” Goldflame coldly replied, vigilantly eyeing John.

She feared that John might really try to fuse with the Seed of Fire to enhance World-in-Hand.

John looked at them with disdain and said, “Both of you, I’m not that kind of person.”

He could sense that Thoublade and Goldflame were testing him.

This caused him to feel a bit less hostility toward the two. At least they didn’t seem to have any ill intentions toward Leisian.

But he was even more curious now—what was the connection between these two and Merciless? Why were they so protective of Leisian?

Whoosh…

Suddenly, black mist surged out from the shattered stone tablets, filling the air with a strange, ominous power.

“Not good, it’s the Corrosion Path Black Mist!” someone shouted in panic, hurriedly retreating.

John was puzzled, having come into contact with the black mist.

In an instant, the mist entered his body, wildly devouring his strength, including The power of laws.

He was startled and quickly retreated, but the black mist kept rising, filling the area. There was no escape; it surrounded him from every direction.

“Help! Ah…” A scream rang out as a one-star Emperor was engulfed by the black mist. His power drained away rapidly, and he couldn’t resist at all. Within moments, he turned into a pile of dry bones and then completely vanished.

The crowd watched this scene with their scalp tingling, panicking as they dodged the spreading black mist.

John tried to block the mist, but no matter what power he used, it was all devoured. The black mist showed no sign of being hindered.

Thoublade watched him quietly and said indifferently, “Kid, don’t waste your effort. This is the will of Creator God. Only someone at Creator God’s level can stop it.”

“Is there really no way out?” John asked, unwilling to give up.

Thoublade shook his head. “You can only wait for death.”

Everyone fell into despair.

The black mist continued to spread, compressing the space, eating away at everyone’s chance of survival.

“Don’t crowd me! Get away!” someone shouted angrily, and a conflict broke out in the crowd.

At this moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared as one of The Overseer summoned World-in-Hand.

Whoosh!

Instantly, the black mist was cut off.

“Hmm, World-in-Hand can block the black mist,” the person said with a glimmer of hope. But the very next second, the boundless black mist rushed back, quickly corroding everything within World-in-Hand.

In an instant, life energy was drained.

The person was shocked and hurriedly withdrew World-in-Hand.

“Ah!” A shrill scream echoed as the black mist spread from his body, quickly corroding him from the inside out.

The terrifying scene caused everyone to recoil in fear, backing away even further.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, from deep within the mist, a series of enraged roars and growls echoed, followed by the sound of battle.

“Merciless!” John recognized a familiar aura—it was the Merciless Emperor.

He locked onto the source of the energy, and without hesitation, he charged into the black mist.

“John, it’s dangerous!” Gaka shouted in alarm, trying to stop him, but it was already too late. John’s figure had already vanished into the black mist.

The black mist spread everywhere, so thick that it was impossible to see even a finger in front of him. The terrifying corrosive power swept toward him, devouring his strength.

Without hesitation, he summoned the Golden Wheel of Laws, hoping to block the mist’s invasion.

But it was completely ineffective. Even the Golden Wheel of Laws was devoured.

This was the powerful The Heaven power of laws, yet it couldn’t resist even a little bit.

Roar…

A series of enraged roars echoed through the mist, which swirled violently as magical beasts emerged from the darkness.

It was the Bone Devouring Beast, Soul Devouring Beast, and Ruin Beast.

They seemed completely unaffected by the black mist!

John was stunned, but he had no time to think. The Golden Wheel of Laws roared, and he directly struck down the beasts.

[You killed a one-star Emperor Soul Devouring Beast, Plunder ability activated.]

[Four basic attributes +1,000,000, Soul Technique +100,000, Corrosion Path Black Mist Resistance +1.]

…

The prompt flashed before his eyes, and he suddenly understood.

Killing these magical beasts here granted him Plunder ability, which provided Corrosion Path Black Mist Resistance.

“Die!” Hope ignited in his heart as he unleashed the Golden Wheel of Laws. White Jade City appeared and went on a rampage, slaughtering the magical beasts as he quickly approached Merciless’s location.

[You killed a one-star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast, Plunder ability activated.]

[Four basic attributes +1,000,000, Corrosion Path Black Mist Resistance +1.]

…

Roars echoed, and one magical beast after another was slain. His four basic attributes slowly increased.

The most important thing was that his resistance to the Corrosion Path Black Mist was steadily growing.

The strange black mist was causing him less and less harm, though it still continued to devour his strength.

His body could resist the devouring of the black mist, but The power of laws could not, and his internal energy continued to drain away.

He grew anxious and increased his killing speed. Finally, he saw Merciless.

At that moment, she was in a sorry state, her aura weak, surrounded by a group of magical beasts attacking her.

“Merciless!” He shouted angrily and flashed forward, several sword lights flashing, directly cutting down all the surrounding magical beasts.

” Jo… John, is it really you?” Merciless looked pale, swaying on her feet. She gazed at him in disbelief.

John moved forward and wrapped her in his arms, speaking softly, “Don’t be afraid. It’s me.”

Merciless smiled weakly, leaning against him. With a frail voice, she said, “I… I don’t think I can hold on much longer. But, I’m content knowing I could see you before I die. You shouldn’t have come…”

Before she could finish her sentence, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and Leisian appeared.

“Mother!” she cried out and rushed towards them.

“Leisian?” Merciless’s eyes widened in shock, her voice trembling, “How… how are you here?”

“Don’t worry, mother. Leisian will protect you.” Leisian said, flames flickering around her, and the black mist was actually dispersed by her presence.

John stared in surprise, unable to believe his eyes, “Leisian, you can block the black mist?”

Leisian nodded, “This power is very evil, but it can’t harm me.”

As she spoke, the flames around her intensified even further, and she began to purify the black mist.
