Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Meet again with the Woman; Ascending to the Seventh Tier
The ethereal blue silk dress danced in the wind, floating gracefully like a celestial being from the heavens.
Buzz!
At that moment, a powerful sword intent erupted with a booming sound, blocking the attack of the Holy Light.
John looked up, noticing that the figure of the woman in blue was becoming increasingly blurry, seemingly struggling against the avatar of the God of Light.
"Thank you, senior, for coming to my rescue!" As the restraining power faded, he regained his mobility and quickly expressed his gratitude to the blue-clad woman.
"It's impossible; you have fallen, your Divine Soul has perished, and you shouldn't exist!" The God of Light stared at the blue woman, his expression filled with disbelief and fear.
"Are you Darabont?" A light and airy voice emerged from the woman, marking her first spoken words.
Previously, their communication had only been through soul transmission.
The God of Light frowned, realizing that Darabont was a title from before he ascended to godhood; this blue-clad woman should not recognize him.
"You... you're from the past!" He suddenly grasped something, exclaiming in shock as he fixed his gaze on the blue woman.
She remained unresponsive, her Sword of Divinity and Demons and Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword floating in front of her, her features obscured, yet an overwhelming battle intent emanated from her.
"Run!" At that moment, John heard her voice resonating in his mind.
He reacted quickly, realizing that the blue woman's phantom might not be able to contend with the God of Light's avatar.
"Elsa, don't resist!" He turned to the nearby Angel Race, urging them, and mentally communicated with the Death Land, directly pulling Elsa and the other angels inside.
"Trying to escape!" The God of Light realized what was happening and roared angrily as he lunged at John.
At the same time, the blue woman moved as well, unleashing boundless sword intent that transformed into countless sword lights, enveloping the God of Light.
The atmosphere shifted ominously, as overwhelming energy surged. John dared not linger and quickly left the City of Angels.
The two sword lights-Sword of Divinity and Demons and Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword- followed him as he fled.
As the spatial rift closed, he faintly saw the blue woman's phantom dissipate, seemingly unable to withstand the God of Light's avatar.
John had no time to ponder these thoughts; he had already exited the City of Angels and arrived in the world of Gods.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He then communicated with the Death Land, directly entering it.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted nearby, accompanied by the sounds of fierce combat.
"I don't want to hurt you; don't bring humiliation upon yourselves!" Elsa's voice reached him as she effortlessly fended off the attacks from Sara and several other eighth-tier powerhouses.
The Tree of Life swayed, and Jean, controlling it, joined the fray, but they still proved no match for their opponents.
"Stop!" John quickly intervened to halt the confrontation.
Sara stood in front of him, warily watching Elsa. She said, "Husband, these angels have suddenly invaded the Death Land. We can't handle them; you need to summon Lords Tony and Ben quickly."
"Husband?" Elsa's gaze turned icy as a flash of light appeared, and Sara received a hard slap across her face.
"Who are you to call him that? Show respect to your master!" Elsa said coldly.
"Ma-master?" Sara touched her stinging cheek, looking at John with surprise.
"Elsa, that's too much!" he said, feeling some anger. Sara was also his woman; he wouldn't allow anyone to bully her.
"Hmph!" Elsa huffed, her eyes filled with warnings and threats as she glared at Sara.
"Husband, you... you tamed her?" Sara gulped, looking at John in astonishment.
She recognized Elsa.
The most powerful being beneath the gods; even Tony and Ben were no match for her, yet she had been subdued by John.
It was hard for her to accept.
John nodded without further explanation and looked at the women, warning them, "We're all on the same side now. No more chaos. I have things to attend to; you can get to know each
other."
After giving the reminder, he opened the portal to the Abyss and stepped inside.
He had refined The Immortals' treasure and was unsure if the gods could sense their avatar's presence in the Death Land.
To be safe, he decided to enter the Abyss to level up to the seventh tier as quickly as possible. "Master, wait for me!" Elsa called out, quickly following him into the Abyss.
Only about a hundred angels remained in the Death Land, looking at Sara and the others with suspicion.
Fortunately, no one continued fighting.
...
Darkness enveloped them.
Elsa furrowed her brow, feeling uncomfortable in this place, as even her light-based powers
were somewhat suppressed.
"Master, is this the Abyss?" she asked curiously, surveying her surroundings.
John nodded.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, three figures shot toward them from a distance; it was Sini and her companions.
"Elsa!" Tony exclaimed, launching an attack alongside Ben.
A towering wave surged, with hints of black light swirling; he unleashed his strongest attack
right away.
"Hmph, the old fool has actually comprehended the dark laws!" Elsa said disdainfully, waving her arm as a light shield formed, blocking the overwhelming wave.
Two beams of Holy Light descended, striking Ben and Tony.
Boom! Boom!
With two loud explosions, both men were caught off guard, spewing blood as they were sent
flying.
John was taken aback; it was the first time he had seen Elsa in action, and he hadn't expected her to be this powerful.
"Kid, you've really gotten yourself into trouble with the wrong people!" Tony shouted in
anger. "This guy doesn't have the dark laws. Quick, open the portal! We need to escape and
leave her trapped in the Abyss!"
"Old fool, how cruel you are!" Elsa's gaze turned icy. If she hadn't known this was John's group, she would have already struck him down.
John finally spoke up, "Elder brothers, Elsa is one of us now."
"One of us?" Tony and Ben exchanged glances, looking at John with confusion and disbelief.
"Sister, are you an angel? You're so beautiful!" At that moment, Sini approached and took Elsa's hand, curiously touching her wings.
Elsa instinctively felt a bit resistant but, noticing John's warning gaze, quickly snapped to her senses and smiled, saying, "No, it's you who's prettier!"
"Looks like the master has hit the jackpot," Sini giggled, pulling Elsa away as the two began
to whisper to each other.
"Kid, you really tamed Elsa?" Tony asked John, still unable to believe it.
John nodded but didn't elaborate further. "Where can I find a gathering of ninth-tier Abyss demons? I need to level up."
He had already refined The Immortals' treasure, and with the gods now watching him, he needed to reach the seventh tier as soon as possible to help Sini obtain the Demon Gods' legacy and break the Temple's seal.
"Follow me." Tony gave him a deep look and led him deeper into the Abyss, to a canyon.
In the canyon, powerful Abyss demons were scattered about, but they were all regular ninth-
tier beasts.
Most of the boss-level threats had been eliminated by Tony and Ben.
"Do you need our help?" Ben asked John.
"No, I can handle it," he replied, shaking his head. Surrounding himself with flickering Holy
Light, he cast the Holy Light Exorcism Spell.
Boom! Boom!
Holy Light shone brightly as John harnessed the power of light, enhancing his magic attacks
by 100% and adding 20% true magical damage.
These ninth-tier ordinary beasts were no match for him and were instantly annihilated.
[You have slain a 5000-level ninth-tier Abyss demon, earning 1.76 million experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated, Spirit +1.]
...
The notifications continued to pour in.
Without the tenfold experience boost, John could only gain just over a million experience
points from slaying the ninth-tier Abyss demons.
Fortunately, there were plenty of Abyss demons around. If all went well, he would reach level
1000 in two days and trigger his seventh career advancement quest.
The two men watched in stunned silence.
"Light laws? What kind of freak is this kid?" Tony looked at Ben and couldn't help but ask, "Is
the savior you prophesied really this powerful?"
"Uh..." Ben fell silent, equally unable to accept it.
"I'm going to go into seclusion," Tony said, feeling defeated, and turned to leave.
Ben followed suit.
...
After wandering in the Abyss for two days, John finally leveled up to 1000, triggering his
career advancement quest.
[You have reached level 1000, unlocking your career advancement quest. You may continue to
level up after the advancement.]
[Wrath of the Gods Mage seventh advancement quest: Slay 50 legendary bosses of level 7 or
higher.]
[Nightmare Assassin seventh advancement quest: Slay 50 legendary bosses of level 7 or
higher.]
[Sword Immortal seventh advancement quest: Slay 50 legendary bosses of level 7 or higher.]
Slaying legendary beings of level 7 or higher was easy for John; the only challenge was finding
50 legendary Abyss demons of that caliber.
He continued to roam the Abyss, searching for legendary-tier Abyss demons.
[Successfully killed 80 legendary bosses of level 8 or higher. Wrath of the Gods talent
upgraded; skill consumption reduced by 80%.]
[Next level upgrade condition: Slay 90 legendary bosses of level 9 or higher.]
...
Notification messages flashed. To John's surprise, his Wrath of the Gods talent had leveled up
again, reducing skill consumption by 80%!
Previously, in the Secret Area of the City of Angels, he had already killed a large number of
level 8 legendary four-winged angels.
The next level required him to slay 90 legendary bosses of level 9 or higher, which wouldn't be a problem for him; the only difficulty was finding the ninth-tier legendary bosses.
John decided not to dwell on this and continued searching for legendary Abyss demons of
level 7 or higher.
After another week of wandering in the Abyss, he finally killed enough legendary Abyss
demons to complete his career advancement.
His power received a slight boost again, but more importantly, after reaching level 7, he could
increase the levels of his advanced career skills.
During these days, he had accumulated over seventy thousand skill points by using skill
stones and the Plunder skill from slaying beasts.
He wasn't planning to upgrade his cultivation level just yet; he wanted to use everything to
enhance his skills.
Each level increase for advanced skills required 1,000 skill points, and John had mastered over
twenty skills, which was enough to max them all out.
Moreover, he possessed the SSS-grade Blessing of the Archmage talent, and he wondered if he could comprehend an ultimate magical skill upon reaching level 7.
