A huge hand suddenly shot out from the collapsed space, rushing toward Johnnie quickly.
At that mont, Johnnie was standing on the fading Steel Dragon. His red eyes were fixed on the proud Princess Astraea, completely unaware of the danger behind him.
The giant hand covered the sky, covered in thick black "hair." If you looked closely, you could see that the "hair" was actually a bunch of tiny arms, each moving and wriggling.
Skye and Seth reacted imdiately.
Although Seth's soul power had already been completely used up, in this life-threatening situation, he gritted his teeth and flew toward the giant hand with Skye.
But as they reached the air, the black arms on the hand suddenly stretched out fast, rushing toward them.
Fast!
So fast!
Skye and Seth didn't have ti to react. In an instant, the arms touched their bodies.
Then, Skye, who was once tall and strong, started to shrink and beco thin.
The huge axe in his hand suddenly felt extrely heavy, so heavy that he had to let it go, watching it fall from the sky.
It wasn't the axe that had gotten heavier. It was his strength that had disappeared.
Seth had his own problem. His black hair turned white before his eyes, and his youthful face aged quickly, with wrinkles appearing in seconds.
In just a blink, the 20-year-old Seth turned into a middle-aged man with white hair.
Faced with this strange situation, Seth's pupils widened. His whole body shook. He could feel his life force fading. If this continued, he would surely die.
At that mont, Skye, now thin and weak, gritted his teeth and used his body to push Seth away.
The two of them managed to escape the black arms for a mont.
"What the hell is that thing!" Skye was breathing hard, his body falling quickly—he could barely stay in the air anymore.
Without Skye and Seth to interfere, the giant hand that had co out of the collapsed space moved again, quickly heading toward Johnnie.
Princess Astraea of the Haughty Royal Clan was trembling, her face pale, with blood continuously flowing from her lips. It was clear she couldn't last much longer.
The Steel Dragon was about to win!
But when the giant hand reached behind Johnnie, those black "hairs" stretched out quickly, rushing toward Johnnie in a wild, unstoppable wave.
Just two of those black arms had nearly killed Skye and Seth.
Now, Johnnie had thousands of them behind him!
Skye and Seth stared in shock, their eyes wide open, watching the sky.
At this critical mont, a long, huge arm suddenly reached out from the broken space behind Astraea.
"Wake up, Johnnie!" The voice of the Terra Lady suddenly appeared.
The killing intent that had filled the sky quickly disappeared, and Johnnie's red eyes instantly returned to normal.
At this mont, the Terra Lady's arm and the enemy's giant hand were both moving close to Astraea and Johnnie.
Astraea suddenly spat out a lot of blood, her silver light fading quickly. She fell like a broken kite from the sky.
But the giant hand, covered in black arms, didn't change at all. It still rushed toward Johnnie.
The Terra Lady's voice ca again.
"Try if you dare!"
Before the black arms could grab Johnnie, the Terra Lady caught him and threw him toward Skye and Seth.
But before Skye and Seth could catch him, a bright white light suddenly exploded in the sky, swallowing everything around them completely.
Collapse, lting away.
Within the white light, everything was gone.
Johnnie didn't hesitate at all. He imdiately pulled Skye, Seth, and the others into The Map of Heaven and Earth, then ran as fast as he could.
Immortal Art, Spatial Compression!
Spatial Compression!
Spatial Compression!
...
He used Spatial Compression ten tis in a row, but before he could get far, he suddenly felt a huge force behind him. It hit his body hard and sent him flying.
"Boom!"
"Crash!"
Under the force, Johnnie smashed through a bunch of big rocks. The pieces flew everywhere.
Finally, he crashed hard into a wall of stone — or more accurately, his body was pushed deep into the rock.
Warm blood slowly flowed from his mouth.
Johnnie struggled to pull his arm out of the stone. He wiped his mouth, then looked at his hand — it was pure golden blood!
Could it be...
Johnnie took a deep breath and quickly checked his information prompt.
[Ding, Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art has reached level twelve, Four Basic Attributes 4 million]
[Ding, Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art has reached level thirteen, Four Basic Attributes 6 million]
[Ding, Your body has been pushed to its limit. Since your level has reached Stage 9, Level 10, error...]
[Error...]
[Ding, your level has been promoted to Stage 10,]
[The Way of Heaven is correcting itself. Your godhood tribulation power has increased by 300%. Please open the godhood lightning stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, the power of the godhood tribulation will keep increasing.]
[Warning: Please open the godhood tribulation as soon as possible.]
[Warning: Please open the godhood tribulation as soon as possible.]
[Warning: Please open the godhood tribulation as soon as possible.]
Johnnie looked at the three warning ssages in a row and took a deep breath.
He rembered from Aero's notes that in this world, there seed to be sothing trying to stop people from reaching Stage 12 and surviving the godhood tribulation.
Johnnie took another deep breath and pushed the thought aside for now.
He felt his body healing quickly. The golden blood on his palms was slowly soaking back into his skin through the pores.
After a few seconds, all his wounds were completely gone.
He looked back at the battlefield where the fight had happened. He had used the Immortal Art of Spatial Compression ten tis, but he still got caught in the explosion.
Now, the center of the battle had turned into nothingness.
A huge circle surrounded the area, with no soil, no air, not even light. It looked like a black hole, pulling in all the rocks and dirt around it.
Soon, the black circle disappeared, and everything slowly returned to calm.
Johnnie took a deep breath and flew slowly toward the center.
When he was taken over by the weapons on the Steel Dragon, he couldn't stop the killing intent in his heart. But he still kept a little bit of his mind.
That was why he could hear Skye's voice and use the Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art.
To be honest, the killing intent in those weapons was dangerous enough to erase his mind—but it was also a powerful thing that helped him increase his Body-Tempering Art quickly.
Johnnie really didn't expect that his Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art had jumped all the way to Level 13, pushing his body to its limit and raising his stage to Stage 10!
He had only been in the ancient battlefield ruins for a few days, and already he had gone from Stage 9 to Stage 10!
Sure enough, the more dangerous the place, the more opportunities it held.
Johnnie thought back to the giant hand that had co out of the collapsed space. Against that thing, he had no chance at all.
If it hadn't been for the Terra Lady stepping in, he probably would have been caught by that hand right now.
As Johnnie stepped into the area where the white light had appeared, he imdiately frowned. Everything around him was filled with an unbearable silence.
It was as if the white light had erased all life from this place.
Looking up, he saw that the collapsed space was already repairing itself quickly.
At that mont, Johnnie suddenly saw a huge phalanx — like a part of a giant tree — standing quietly on the ground.
The massive phalanx gave a slight shake, and the Terra Lady's voice suddenly appeared in Johnnie's ear.
"Johnnie, things are getting out of control. Try to stay safe and look for a chance to leave the ancient battlefield."
Johnnie didn't know exactly what had happened, but he had a feeling in his gut.
Earlier, the Terra Lady had appeared as a whole arm, but now only a single phalanx remained.
Johnnie took a deep breath and looked serious. "Are we giving up on the ancient battlefield?"
The Terra Lady answered."Yes. The Star Raiders are stronger than I expected. They're determined to take this place."
"Who you fought earlier, the Haughty Royal Clan's Princess Astraea, was sent to the center by them. I checked a little, and there are three more Star Raiders who are almost as strong as a Divine King."
When Johnnie heard that, he took a sharp breath.
He knew how strong Princess Astraea was. If it hadn't been for the weapons on the Steel Dragon, that fight wouldn't have ended so quickly.
After all, Astraea wasn't Wicked Life. The power of Thunder Cultivation – Destroying the Evil couldn't deal ten tis the damage to her.
To his surprise, there were not just Astraea, but three more Star Raiders who were as strong as Divine Kings.
"Wasn't it only people below Divine King level who could enter?" Johnnie said, a little frustrated.
He thought about Sunny. Sunny had only been at Stage 11 when he entered the ancient battlefield ruins, but after going through the godhood tribulation there, he had gained power close to that of a Divine King.
Astraea and the other three Star Raiders must have used a similar thod to get in.
"If I could break through to Stage 11, I might be able to fight against enemies at the Divine King level on my own." Johnnie said, taking a deep breath.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He instinctively frowned.
