Chapter 148: Chapter 148: City of Angels, Targeting John
"So you're just like the players!" John exclaimed in surprise, unleashing another dark magic attack.
"Human, how dare you!" the Two-Winged Angel roared in fury, but in the next second, she was devoured by the black hole once again. The air shimmered coldly as the Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword ruthlessly tore through her. Her HP was completely drained.
[You have slain a level 1000 seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel and gained 1.072 million experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated, Divinity +1.]
"Again?" John was surprised, as he had once more earned over a million experience points and 1 point of Divinity.
Buzz!
The Resurrection Point below flickered with light as the Two-Winged Angel reappeared, her face pale, her aura unstable. Her cultivation had dropped to the sixth tier.
"Human, the Angel Race will never forgive you!" she shouted furiously, her light sword glowing as she gathered all her strength for one final strike. However, she wasn't aiming at John; she was targeting the Resurrection Point beside her.
Once the Resurrection Point was destroyed, she could no longer resurrect here, escaping John's grasp.
John realized her intent, but it was too late to stop her.
Boom!
A beam of Holy Light descended, obliterating the Resurrection Point.
The Two-Winged Angel looked at John with cold indifference and said, "Human, you'll regret crossing the Angel Race."
"Tch!" John scoffed. He was tired of hearing such threats.
"Die!" John growled, gripping his staff in his left hand and his sword in his right. He unleashed three abilities at once.
Flying Sword Strike!
Annihilation!
Inferno Dance!
With the Three-Apertured Exquisite Heart talent, he simultaneously unleashed three devastating attacks.
Boom!
Terrifying energy surged, and the Two-Winged Angel was slain once more. The overwhelming energy even devoured and instantly killed the Pale Moon City Lord!
[You have slain a level 999 sixth-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel and gained 1.08 million experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated, Divinity +1.]
[You have slain a level 1000 sixth-tier epic Dark City Lord and gained 541,000 experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated: Strength +200, Spirit +200, Skill Points +10.]
The notifications flickered. The Two-Winged Angel dissolved into white light again, this time disappearing for good, but no loot dropped.
John had plundered yet another point of Divinity.
However, the Pale Moon City Lord did drop quite a few valuable items: a seventh-tier legendary belt, a City Building Order, a sixth-tier hero Secret Area Scroll, along with several Skill Stones, equipment enhancement stones, and other items.
Although these weren't immediately useful to him, John gathered them all up. He then destroyed the Pale Moon Altar, obtaining a Level 5 Altar Upgrade Stone.
"John, I've leveled up to 177!" With the danger gone, Sini descended on her mount, Avis, her face full of joy.
The leveling speed was exhilarating. It wouldn't be long before she reached the fifth tier. "Not bad," John nodded, glancing at his own experience points, feeling a bit disappointed. He had slaughtered so many fifth-tier magical beasts and Dark Humans soldiers, yet he was still stuck at level 455, with more than 70 million experience points needed for the next level- up.
After reaching the fifth tier, leveling up became increasingly difficult.
John didn't dwell on it. After cleaning up the battlefield, he mounted Avis and headed back to the Saint Martial Sect to complete his faction quests.
...
In a secret space within the world of Gods, a massive city floated in the air, bathed in radiant light, exuding a holy aura.
Within the city, figures swiftly flitted about-they were all angels.
Among them, there were even mighty four-winged and six-winged angels.
This was the legendary City of Angels, a level 9 city.
Whoosh!
A disheveled figure swooped down and landed in front of a luxurious mansion.
It was the Two-Winged Angel John had just slain-her name was Lisa.
"I have information about the Godslayer. I request an audience with Lady Elsa," she said
bowed and left the hall.
The vast chamber now held only Elsa and Tracy.
A soft smile appeared on Elsa's face as she turned to Tracy and asked, "Star Dust, how is your training going with the technique I've been teaching you?"
"Just so-so," Tracy replied flatly, continuing to peel her fruit without much interest.
Elsa didn't seem to mind her indifference at all and nodded before continuing, "Do you want
to meet that Godslayer?"
Tracy's eyes lit up. She put down the fruit and stared at Elsa, her expression wary. "Are you going to let me leave?"
Elsa smiled and nodded. "Once you've raised the Divine Path Technique to the 10th level,
you'll be free to leave."
"Really?" Tracy's eyes sparkled with hope. The Divine Path Technique was a top-tier light-
attribute cultivation method Elsa had taught her, capable of significantly increasing healing
power.
Despite the benefits, Tracy had always been cautious, never fully trusting Elsa, and thus refrained from fully advancing the technique.
Even so, she had already reached the 9th level and was close to breaking through to the 10th.
"Really," Elsa smiled, her demeanor genuinely sincere.
"I'll enter seclusion to train immediately," Tracy said eagerly as she rose and walked toward
the back of the hall.
Elsa didn't stop her, but the smile on her face slowly faded.
"What an adorable little girl," she murmured to herself, though her expression gradually
twisted into something sinister. "Godslayer, I wonder how you'd feel knowing you met your end at the hands of this girl..."
Although the Faction System had been activated, ninth-tier powerhouses still couldn't
descend into the World of Gods.
The highest level that could appear was an eighth-tier entity.
Elsa was confident that an eighth-tier four-winged angel could slay the Godslayer, but to be
absolutely sure, she had another plan in place.
...
World of Gods
John and Sini had returned to the Saint Martial Sect, where they found Chris and informed him
of their plans to establish a faction.
"John, do you think it'll be dangerous?" Chris didn't seem excited. In fact, he appeared more
concerned.
He was well aware that the activation of the Faction System was designed to target John.
Although starting a faction came with many benefits, Chris didn't want John to take unnecessary risks.
"Don't worry," John replied confidently. "I've already gotten the details from Tracy. Even
with the Faction System open, ninth-tier powerhouses still can't descend. As for eighth-tier enemies, I have more than enough strength to handle them."
In the Death Land, he had Sara, Bonnie, and Behemoth, all of whom were peak eighth-tier
legendary powerhouses.
Besides them, there were also Tony and Ben in the Abyss, two experienced seniors whom John could summon at any time.
Dealing with eighth-tier legendary figures would be a breeze.
"Alright, if you're sure, then you have my full support. Every disciple of the Saint Martial
Sect will cooperate with you fully," Chris said, seeing John's determination and deciding not to argue further.
By now, the Saint Martial Sect had close to 100,000 disciples, all hailing from various Ancient Martial Arts families. Half of them had already broken through to the fourth tier. With this level of strength, they should be able to withstand the monster tide attacks that
would inevitably be triggered by the establishment of the faction.
