Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 255: Split Void Talent, Slaying Peak Powerhouses



Deep in the Eternal Forest, Sini, along with the recently arrived Nine-Tails and Tony, had all been captured. Black ropes, imbued with soul-binding power, were wrapped tightly around them, and countless Hunters stood guard, keeping a vigilant watch over their captives.

Fortunately, these Hunters had yet to attack; they simply kept them imprisoned.

Despite their struggles, the black ropes were impossible to break-being tied to their very souls, they were bound by an eerie force they couldn't escape.

Tony glanced over at the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and asked, "Can you break free?"

She shook her head helplessly.

At the moment, Nine-Tails was covered in blood, her face pale-evidently, she had been through a fierce battle and hadn't come out unscathed.

Tony frowned, his disappointment showing. "Aren't these guys around the same strength as you? They're all peak upper-tier gods, aren't they?"

Nine-Tails shot him a sharp look, replying, "Even among peak upper-tier gods, there's still a difference in power. And even if I could break free from these ropes, the Hunters wouldn't just let us walk away."

"Looks like we're done for, then," Tony muttered, closing his eyes in frustration, clearly unimpressed by her abilities.

"Don't worry. Big Brother will come and save us," Jean said, her voice full of certainty. She and the other women had complete faith in John.

Tony nodded. He had heard Cand-Dragon speak of John's immense power before, and now he understood why-it was still overwhelming to think about.

Buzz!

Suddenly, there was a ripple of Spatial power, and a crack in space appeared. The group immediately went silent, their eyes fixed warily on the spatial rift.

Moments later, Split Void and his companions stumbled out, looking disheveled and battered.

"Neither Eddie nor the witch made it," Split Void said as he glanced around at his comrades, swallowing nervously. Remembering the terror of John, he feared the worst for the two who had stayed behind.

"What should we do? Should we go back and rescue them?"

"There's no time. We need to get out of here," another of the group said, his voice filled with fear as he glanced around the area, clearly anxious that John might show up at any moment.

The recent battle, particularly John's terrifying power in his giant form, had left them shaken -they knew they stood no chance against him.

"What about these prisoners?" one of them asked, gesturing toward Tony and the others. The leader, a gods-level powerhouse, thought for a moment before coldly replying, "Take the ones chosen by the Shadow Clan. Kill the rest."

Hearing their conversation, Tony couldn't remain calm anymore.

Among their group, only Jean, Tracy, and Sini had been marked as targets by these people.

Tony wasn't afraid of dying himself, but he knew how important these women were to John- he couldn't allow anything to happen to them.

He turned toward Nine-Tails again and whispered urgently, "I'll hold off their attacks. Can you kill them?"

He decided to reveal his hidden skill: Immortal Golden Body.

During his battle with Cand-Dragon, Tony had already proven that the Immortal Golden Body could nullify ranged true damage and the life-draining abilities of the Hunters. Only close-range attacks could truly threaten him.

While in this form, his defense was amplified a hundredfold-he was confident he could withstand the attacks of the six upper-tier gods without issue.

"Are you joking?" Nine-Tails shot him a skeptical glance.

She couldn't believe Tony had the ability to withstand attacks from peak upper-tier gods, and she knew she didn't have the strength to kill all six of them.

Buzz!

Just then, another spatial ripple appeared, and John and Cand-Dragon emerged from it.

"Looks like I won't need to," Tony sighed in relief upon seeing them.

"John!" Sini and the others, feeling reassured, immediately called out for his help.

The six attackers, seeing John and Cand-Dragon's sudden arrival, were struck with fear.

It was clear to them that something had already happened to the Shapeshifting Witch and Eddie.

The leader of the gods was the first to react, quickly barking out an order, "Split Void, tear open a spatial rift! The rest of you, control those captives, we need to get out of here!"

He planned to use Sini and the others as leverage against John.

Before the other party could speak, Split Void had already opened up in the rift. The other few immediately controlled Sini and the other women, preparing to escape.

"Hmph, you guys don't have a chance! John's cold voice came, and the women could be considered his reverse. If they dare to harm them, they will die!

Buzz!

The atmosphere shook as a massive wave of soul power surged forth.

"Divine Mindless!" John shouted. The powerful soul curse instantly took hold of the six attackers, freezing them in place.

At the same time, Cand-Dragon rushed forward, immediately freeing Sini, Tony, and the others from their binds.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled, and the terrifying pressure of John's transformed state filled the air. He had once again taken on the form of a giant, towering over everything. "Damn it, slow down, would you?" Cand-Dragon shouted in alarm, hastily bundling Sini, Tony, and the others into a cloud to whisk them away from the battlefield.

They know just how destructive John could be in his giant form.

Boom!

The ground quaked violently as John's massive fist slammed down on Split Void.

The unique spatial talent Split Void possessed allowed him to bypass spatial constraints, making him the key to their escape. But John knew that if he dealt with this one, the rest would be trapped.

Blood splattered as Split Void was instantly crushed into pulp by John's powerful blow.

However, as a peak upper-tier gods powerhouse, Split Void couldn't be fully killed as long as his soul remained intact.

Blood and flesh reformed as Split Void resurrected, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale and filled with terror.

In a panic, he shouted, "Help me hold off this giant! If you don't, we're all going to die!"

At that moment, the others also managed to break free from Divine Mindless and, without hesitation, launched a combined assault on John.

"Fools!" John sneered, effortlessly parrying their attacks as he continued focusing his relentless strikes on Split Void, denying him any chance to open a spatial rift.

Boom! Boom!

Each of John's blows reverberated through the area, shattering space itself. Spatial rifts swirled chaotically all around, and the unlucky Hunters that couldn't retreat fast enough were torn to shreds by the space currents.

And this was John using only his basic attacks. If he unleashed his full power through his skills, he could easily tear the entire area apart.

Split Void and his companions were like mere toys before John, scattering in panic with no

chance to retaliate.

From a distance, the others watched in stunned silence as John rampaged in his giant form.

Aside from Cand-Dragon, it was the first time anyone else had witnessed him in his Heaven and Earth Transformation.

"What... what kind of monster is that?" Nine-Tails whispered, her voice trembling as she swallowed nervously. Deep down, though, she was more certain than ever that pledging her

loyalty to John had been the right decision.

Boom!

Another thunderous crash echoed in the distance as John slammed Split Void into the ground,

his soul gravely wounded and his life hanging by a thread.

The others were also heavily injured, barely clinging to life.

John, too, was covered in blood, his body riddled with wounds.

Of course, these injuries weren't caused by his enemies, but by the relentless spatial currents.

Luckily for him, his mastery over the Laws of Life, along with his life-sharing bond with The Tree of Life, made such injuries trivial.

"Die!" John roared as his sword hummed with power. He unleashed his skill: Infinite Sword

Array.

A storm of sword blades filled the air, instantly engulfing the six attackers.

The overwhelming sword technique, combined with 100% true damage, annihilated them all

in one fell swoop.

Though they resurrected on the spot, their souls had been deeply wounded.

John didn't give them time to react. Waves of dark and light power of laws surged as he rained down spells on the battered enemies, relentlessly pummeling them.

Although he had passed on the Wrath of the Gods class to his gods' avatar, his mastery over it allowed him to cast these devastating spells effortlessly after merging with the avatar.

[You have killed Split Void, gaining 2.6766 trillion experience points.]

[You have leveled up to 10,007.]

[Plunder talent activated: You have gained SSS-level Split Void talent. Spirit +1000, Strength

+1000.]

[Split Void: SSS-level unique talent. Allows you to ignore spatial restrictions, tear open spatial channels, and travel freely through space.]

The notifications flashed as Split Void became the first among them to completely perish under John's terrifying skill and the relentless burning of Hellfire.

And to John's delight, he had successfully Plundered Split Void's incredible spatial talent. Being able to ignore spatial restrictions and open spatial channels at will was undoubtedly another lifesaving tool added to John's arsenal.

"You can't kill us, human! If we die here, the Shadow Clan won't let you go!" the remaining attackers shouted in fear, desperately trying to threaten him.

With Split Void dead, they were utterly hopeless, and their only option left was to invoke the

wrath of the Shadow Clan to intimidate him.

"Heh, do you think I'm afraid of them?" John scoffed coldly. He swung the Sword of Divinity and Demons, unleashing a barrage of magical skills, even more densely than before.

The remaining five had no chance to resist. Their souls were obliterated and purified, leading

to their complete demise.

[You have killed a peak upper-tier gods powerhouse, gaining 2.6766 trillion experience

points.]

[You have leveled up to 10,017.]

[Plunder talent activated: Strength +1000, Agility +500, Skill Points +100.]

...

The notifications flashed, and John once again gained a significant boost to his attributes. His

level had risen to 10,017.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, the only disappointment was that he didn't manage to Plunder any new talents.

These enemies must have possessed SSS-level or special talents, which was precisely why the Shadow Clan had marked them as targets.

"Godslayer, we need help!" Cand-Dragon's voice called out urgently.

They were surrounded by countless Hunters. Sini and the other women, being only at the

ninth tier, were no match for these creatures.

John didn't waste time checking the loot from the fallen enemies. He quickly gathered the

items and deactivated his Heaven and Earth Transformation state, rushing to their aid. Dealing with these Hunters didn't require the use of his giant form.

Boom! Boom!

A few spells rained down, and the Hunters encircling Cand-Dragon and the others were

obliterated in an instant.

"Let's go!" John called, and with a thought, he led the group back to Death Land. With the immediate danger gone, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Nine-Tails, are there any other Shadow Clan members currently on Skyline Continent?" John

asked, turning to her.

She thought for a moment before replying, "There were only nine of us who descended

together. As for whether more will come later, I'm not sure. However, with the Skyline Continent's final treasure about to appear, it's certain that more Shadow Clan powerhouses will descend."

John furrowed his brow, feeling a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Even though his power had grown significantly, he still wasn't entirely confident in facing the

Shadow Clan elites.

"By the way, does anyone else in the Shadow Clan possess the Shapeshifting Witch's disguise

talent?" John asked, recalling how dangerous her ability had been-she could even mask her aura, making it nearly impossible to detect her.
