Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Dragon Transformation, Battle Against Lower-Tier Gods
The two lower-tier gods flew at high speed, heading straight for Dark City.
Meanwhile, the Death Demon General secretly sent a message to Michelle, urging him to take control of Death Land as soon as possible.
As long as John was killed, Death Land would become an ownerless domain. Whoever refined it first would claim it as their own.
...
John and his group finally finished clearing the battlefield, collecting over 300 low-tier divine weapons and more than 200,000 skill stones.
"Let's go to the next ninth-tier city," he said as he jumped onto Avis's back, preparing to leave.
At that moment, two terrifying auras surged from the distant horizon, approaching rapidly. "Master, it's Thunder. And the other one is the Death Demon General from the demon race!" Elsa's face turned pale as she recognized the two figures and hastily warned him.
"Kid, run! I'll hold them off!" Tony said gravely, the crystal orb containing the Undying Flame appearing in his hand once more.
Whoosh!
The wind roared as the two figures arrived in the blink of an eye, hovering in mid-air, their gaze immediately locking onto John.
But soon, their attention shifted to Tony-more specifically, to the Undying Flame in his hand.
Thunder looked at it with trepidation and said, "Tony, our target is the Godslayer. As long as you leave quietly, we won't trouble you."
Tony stared at them coldly, unmoved. "Kid, get out of here. Once the Undying Flame is released, it will cover a hundred miles. I'll keep these two occupied."
"Old man, don't be impulsive." John stopped Tony and said, "Can't you see? These two are here to die."
Tony frowned. He understood what John meant-these two were here to force him to use the Undying Flame. Even if John escaped, without this deterrent, other lower-tier and mid-tier gods would soon come for him, and he would be doomed.
"Then what do we do?" Tony asked, still glaring coldly at the two enemies. If all else failed, he was prepared to take them down with him.
John took a step forward and looked directly at the two lower-tier gods, speaking calmly, "I can handle this."
"They're lower-tier gods!" Tony reminded him.
"Master," Elsa added anxiously, "the Death Demon General has soul attack abilities."
"Is that so?" John's brow furrowed slightly. With his Undying and Immortal talent, he had no fear of lower-tier gods. However, if the enemy possessed soul attack abilities, it could pose a significant threat. If his soul were to be destroyed, the Undying and Immortal talent wouldn't activate.
He asked, "Elsa, do you know what that guy's Soul Technique is?"
Elsa shook her head.
Deciding not to waste time, John refined all the skill points he had just obtained to continue upgrading his Soul Technique.
After accumulating another 1.44 million skill points, he used them all to level up Soul Technique.
[You have consumed 1000 skill points. Soul Technique has been upgraded to level 7366. Soul Technique +1]
...
"What's this? Trying to increase your strength now? Isn't it a little too late?" Thunder sneered as he watched John refine skill stones.
"Stop talking nonsense and finish this quickly!" The Death Demon General, worried that unexpected changes might occur, launched a soul attack without hesitation.
Even if Tony were to release the Undying Flame, he didn't care-his only concern was completing the task Michelle had assigned him.
"You lunatic!" Thunder's heart skipped a beat at the sudden attack. He didn't immediately join in, but instead kept a wary eye on Tony, ready to flee at a moment's notice.
While loyal to the Dark Humans, he wasn't willing to risk his life for them.
"Old man, don't be reckless. I can handle this. All of you, back off!" John warned, a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
His soul had suffered some damage.
He had just used up all his skill points, raising his Soul Technique to level 8809.
The Death Demon General's Soul Technique was only around level 18,000-insufficient to kill him instantly.
"What a powerful soul!" The Death Demon General was visibly shocked. He had assumed that killing a mere seventh-tier human would be effortless, but he hadn't expected John's Soul Technique to be so formidable-he was nearly backfired by his own soul attack.
With John's Soul Technique almost on par with his own, the Death Demon General didn't dare to recklessly use more soul skills and instead switched to close combat.
Boom!
[You have been killed by the Death Demon General. The Blessed Ring has been triggered.]
With a deafening explosion, John was instantly killed, just as he had expected. The next moment, he resurrected on the spot.
Whoosh!
Sword energy buzzed as he simultaneously activated Unrivaled Sword Dance and Dance of the Void, wildly slashing at the Death Demon General.
-3,380,000
-2,143,000
...
A series of damage numbers flashed, all of them indicating true damage.
"Hmph. Human, stop your futile struggle. Your attacks may be peculiar, but they can't harm
me in the slightest," the Death Demon General scoffed disdainfully.
As a lower-tier god, even at the initial stage, his four basic attributes were all above 80 million, and his health points were over 9 billion.
"Those demigods who died by my hands had the same thought. You won't be any different!" John retorted just before being killed once more. Immediately, his Lifesaver talent activated, granting him five seconds of invincibility.
He unleashed his most furious barrage of attacks. With a 99% skill cooldown reduction, he instantly cast dozens of spells in rapid succession.
Seeing that John didn't appear to be in any immediate danger, Tony, Elsa, and the others quickly mounted Avis and retreated to the edge of the battlefield to avoid getting caught up in
the lower-tier gods' attacks.
They were only at the demigod level. Against lower-tier gods, they stood no chance and their only leverage was the Undying Flame.
Boom! Boom!
Thunderous explosions echoed across the battlefield. During his five seconds of invincibility, John launched over a hundred spell attacks, causing the Death Demon General to lose over 500
million health points.
His expression shifted to one of wariness, and he staggered back, realizing he had underestimated this human.
"Thunder, what are you waiting for? Attack!" He glared angrily at Thunder, who was standing
at a distance.
Now that Tony and the others had withdrawn, eliminating the threat of the Undying Flame.
Thunder finally moved without hesitation.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning descended in an instant, striking directly at John.
Boom!
John was killed once more, triggering his Lifesaver talent for the second time. Ignoring Thunder completely, he continued his relentless assault on the Death Demon General.
Boom! Boom!
Another hundred spells rained down, and under the continuous barrage, the Death Demon General lost billions more in health points.
"Damn it!" He roared in frustration and charged at John with reckless abandon.
[You have been killed by the Death Demon General. Undying and Immortal has been
triggered.]
...
Notification messages flashed continuously. Under the relentless assault of the two lower-
tier gods, John found himself on the defensive, being killed repeatedly almost immediately after each resurrection.
If it were just one lower-tier god, he was confident he could take them down. But facing the uninterrupted attacks of two, he was struggling to keep up.
"Dragon Transformation!" he bellowed, and a dragon's roar reverberated across the heavens
and earth.
John's form shifted and changed, transforming into a massive, resplendent five-colored
divine dragon.
"Dragon's aura? What the hell! Is Master part of the Beast Clan or the Dragonkin?" Avis
shouted in shock from afar.
He could sense that the divine dragon aura emanating from John was even stronger than his
own.
Tony was equally stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
At this moment, the aura emanating from John was indistinguishable from that of the Beast
Clan.
Could it be that he wasn't human at all, but rather a true member of the Beast Clan?
"You will die!" John's voice rumbled like thunder, accompanied by the deep, resonant roar of
a dragon. After transforming into his dragon form, all his attributes were boosted by 50%, and his strength surged to an even higher level.
Yet, it still wasn't enough to fully withstand the attacks from the two lower-tier gods.
Fortunately, he now had more opportunities to strike back.
No matter how many times he resurrected, as long as he could take down one of them in the
process, he could completely turn the tide of battle.
Boom! Boom!
Several spells exploded, and sword techniques whistled through the air.
After his transformation, every one of John's attacks inflicted nearly 5 million true damage on
the Death Demon General.
Bang!
John was killed again, only to be resurrected moments later with full health.
By this point, the Death Demon General was in a miserable state. He had only recently broken
through to become a lower-tier god, and under John's relentless barrage, his health had already plummeted to 5 billion.
If this continued, he feared that he might really be killed by John. "Thunder, what the hell are you doing?" He shouted furiously, suspecting that Thunder
wasn't using his full strength and was deliberately holding back. "How is this my fault? You're just weak-maybe you should train more!" Thunder was also in
a bad situation. Even though John hadn't specifically targeted him, he had been caught in the
blast radius of several of John's area-of-effect skills, losing over 300 million health points in the process.
If this kept up, they might really not be able to take John down. Gritting his teeth, the Death Demon General suppressed his anger and said, "This human
can't keep resurrecting forever. Don't give him a chance to fight back! If I die, you won't
survive either."
"Of course I know that." Thunder didn't bother arguing. He raised his hand, and bolts of
lightning enveloped John.
John was struck down again.
Thunder's lightning attacks had a paralyzing effect, making them even more threatening than
the Death Demon General's blows.
"Damn it!" John cursed, still maintaining his divine dragon form. The Three-Foot Black
Dragon Sword shot out, splitting into three as it launched a relentless assault on Thunder. He wasn't focused on dealing damage-his goal was to disrupt Thunder's lightning attacks.
"What a bizarre way of attacking!" Thunder muttered in shock as his lightning skills were interrupted by John's strikes time and again.
Such precise attacks were something he couldn't replicate himself. Without the threat of Thunder's lightning, John's offensive barrage intensified.
The power of light and darkness surged together, and dozens of skills poured down,
enveloping the Death Demon General.
Boom! Boom!
The battlefield echoed with deafening explosions as the Death Demon General struggled
desperately to defend himself.
He turned angrily toward Thunder once more, shouting, "Thunder, why aren't you attacking?
You bastard, are you trying to get me killed?"
"You think I don't want to? This guy's attacks are too weird! They keep interrupting my skills!" Thunder shouted back, equally frustrated. If it weren't for his fear of the gods behind him, he would've considered fleeing and leaving the Death Demon General to fend for
himself.
"Don't give him any chance to retaliate," the Death Demon General warned as he tried to escape the onslaught of John's longsword attacks.
Boom!
John was killed again.
Before he could resurrect, several more attacks rained down.
The two lower-tier gods had finally put aside their arrogance and started working together,
coordinating their strikes to prevent John from counterattacking.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Damn it!" John cursed, his repeated deaths causing his soul to weaken and his head to swim
with dizziness.
If this continued, he might actually be in real danger.
Buzz!
The air vibrated as John gritted his teeth and activated his soul attack skill.
The Death Demon General's Soul Technique was about the same level as John's, and
Thunder's Soul Technique was even lower.
Even if he couldn't kill them with his soul attack, he wouldn't suffer a severe backlash.
