Chapter 490: Chapter490-Hunting the Hunters

At that moment, a savage grin suddenly spread across John’s face.

He looked like an apex predator that had finally found its prey and was ready to begin the hunt.

Power flowed continuously through the Sacred Bell of the Void and Sacred Eye of Space-Time. In an instant, John comprehended many more of their mysteries, along with the most effective ways to use them.

The Sacred Bell of the Void above his head began to toll rapidly.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The law ripples appeared perfectly ordinary, yet they were now fundamentally different.

Every region engulfed by the Space-Time Law was instantly forced into temporal reversal.

The Aura Overlord’s divine ability disappeared. Even the Destiny Halo behind him vanished with it.

The barehanded Sovereign’s body began moving backward uncontrollably.

Both powerhouses were caught by the Space-Time Law at almost the same instant and rewound to the state they had been in when they first appeared.

At the same time, the vast ashen-red world manifested once more. The Sacred Eye of Space-Time projected its law power onto the two Sovereigns.

Countless spatial collapses immediately appeared around the two pinnacle Sovereigns of the Demon King Council.

Turbulent law currents surged into existence and began tearing their bodies apart.

Cracks spread across their flesh like fractures through glass.

This was Void Annihilation, a Peak Sovereign divine ability!

John had already comprehended the law patterns engraved upon the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic. They contained a classic Space-Time Law divine ability known as Void Annihilation, which could obliterate every enemy within the space-time region it enveloped.

The Peak Sovereign Bone Relic returned to the shape of a skeletal hand. Ripples of Space-Time Law erupted from its palm, instantly engulfing both pinnacle powerhouses.

The Aura Overlord might have mastered his reincarnation ability to an extraordinarily profound level, but he had not yet borrowed the power of his reincarnated selves. At that moment, he was merely an ordinary pinnacle Sovereign.

The Time-Reversal Sovereign had tempered his body with the Law of Time, refining every genetic particle and atom into its strongest possible state.

But Void Annihilation was a Peak Sovereign divine ability...

Moreover, it was itself a Space-Time Law ability, making it the natural counter to his power!

In an instant, the two powerhouses—both reputed to possess combat power at the Half-Step Supreme Venerable level—were annihilated by the Space-Time Law!

Their bodies collapsed and scattered like human figures molded from loose sand!

System notifications rang in John’s ears.

[Ding! You have slain two Peak Sovereigns!]

[Notice: You have gained EXP and Fame...]

[Ding! Your Plunder talent has activated. Selected loot: +5,000,000 Law Insight Points of every type!]

[Notice: Plunder has triggered a 10,000× multiplier. You have gained +50,000,000,000 Law Insight Points of every type!]

[Notice: Automatically looted 12 Sovereign-rank items!]

[Notice: Automatically looted 2 additional Sovereign-rank items!]

"Fifty billion Law Insight Points!"

"My laws aren’t far from advancing to the Sovereign grade."

"The breakthrough will come soon."

John had gained an immense quantity of Law Insight Points. Combined with the progress he had made while creating his own divine ability, it appeared that his advancement to the Sovereign rank was close at hand!

The battle on John’s side had ended.

He had harvested tens of billions of Law Insight Points and made significant progress toward creating a divine ability of his own.

John’s combat power had soared from the peak God King level to beyond the Half-Step Supreme Venerable level.

He was now stronger than a true Supreme Venerable and could even suppress powerhouses at the pinnacle of that rank.

All he lacked was one final breakthrough.

Once he reached the Supreme Venerable rank, he would become an Ultimate Supreme Venerable!

Elsewhere, Valhalla had already conquered the Demon King Council’s Idunn Universe.

They had slain the several ordinary Supreme Venerables stationed there.

John continued leading the players deeper into the Demon King Council’s territory.

Their next target was the Elyon Universe!

Elsewhere in the myriad universes...

The Traditional Powers Alliance continued its fierce offensive against the New Powers Alliance and secured a considerable number of victories.

Then, on that very day...

At the birthplace of the Worldbane Bloodline...

The place where the drop of blood had once fallen was now enveloped in Origin Venerable-level law power, transforming it into an absolute forbidden zone.

Not even Peak Sovereigns could enter without permission.

Through the barrier of Origin Venerable-level law power, one could vaguely make out the original drop of blood.

It had transformed into a vivid crimson flower that was slowly blooming.

The flower was as large as an ordinary universe, stretching across hundreds of millions of miles.

And it was still growing!

At that moment, two Peak Sovereigns waited beyond the absolute forbidden zone created by the Worldbane Bloodline.

"The Exalted One said that the Worldbane Bloodline is destined to give birth to an innate spirit. It will become the cause of the world’s destruction and a calamity for all living beings..."

"Then how are we supposed to make it obey our commands?" asked the black-haired Peak Sovereign with a frown.

Every word he spoke rumbled like muffled thunder, carrying the overwhelming majesty of heaven and earth.

"The Exalted One’s commands are not for us to question," replied the other Peak Sovereign.

He had a head of pure white hair but the face of a young man. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, he continued calmly, "Our only task is to welcome the Doom Spirit. We need concern ourselves with nothing else!"

While the two Sovereigns were speaking, something happened within the forbidden zone that even Peak Sovereigns could not enter.

A young man slowly walked out!

His naked body was drenched in blood. Vivid crimson hair hung around a face marked by a pair of scarlet double pupils.

He walked dazedly out of the Worldbane Bloodline’s forbidden zone, his eyes vacant. The aura radiating from his body was at the Saint rank!

"It has emerged—the Doom Spirit!"

The black-haired Sovereign’s eyes lit up when he saw the young man.

"Double pupils, a Supreme Bone, and Worldbane Sacred Blood..."

The white-haired Sovereign stared at the youth, his eyes narrowing in astonishment.

Just then...

BOOM!

A vast yet invisible presence appeared from nowhere, pouring directly into the Doom Spirit from above!

The aura was boundless, overwhelming, and unfathomably mysterious...

Only the faintest trace escaped into the surroundings, yet every hair on the two Peak Sovereigns stood on end. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, as though they had encountered a natural nemesis capable of suppressing their very bloodlines!

"The Exalted One has acted!"

BOOM!

The immense power enveloped the dazed young Doom Spirit, making his entire figure appear hazy and unreal.

At the same time...

BOOM!

The two Peak Sovereigns sensed the young man’s power surge!

"God King rank!"

The black-haired Sovereign froze in astonishment.

The Doom Spirit had already become a God King?

Then...

BOOM!

The Doom Spirit’s aura soared once again.

"Supreme Venerable rank!"

Even the white-haired Sovereign was stunned.

The Doom Spirit had emerged at the Saint rank, advanced to God King almost immediately, and then leaped straight from God King to Supreme Venerable!

BOOM!

The Doom Spirit’s aura erupted yet again!

The two Peak Sovereigns watched him with growing tension.

"Half-Step Origin Venerable!"

The black-haired and white-haired Sovereigns cried out simultaneously in shock.

In an impossibly short time, the Doom Spirit’s strength had soared all the way to the Half-Step Origin Venerable level!
