John continued to roam through the forest, hunting down elental creatures. This forest was ho to wind elental creatures.
It seed that these elental creatures were confined to different territories.
The forest was dominated by wind elental creatures, while his three clones had encountered creatures of other elental attributes in different areas.
One clone found earth elental creatures in the desert, another found fire elental creatures near the volcanic region, and the last found water elental creatures by the lakeside.
However, his Beast Clan clone had yet to locate Tony.
He had placed a soul mark on Tony, confirming that he was still alive, but the restrictions of this space prevented him from sensing Tony's exact location.
John sighed helplessly. While hunting elental creatures, he continued his search for Tony.
...
Three days passed quickly.
John and his three clones had killed nurous elental creatures, collecting over 300 basic elental spirit stones.
What improved the most during this period was his understanding of elental laws. His comprehension of the four fundantal elental laws had all surpassed 30%.
With fire elental law reaching as high as 41%.
He even felt confident that he could eventually elevate his understanding of all four fundantal elents to 100%.
"It's ti to regroup," John thought. He stopped hunting and rged with his three clones, tearing open a spatial rift and arriving at the entrance of the Secret Area.
As soon as he appeared, he saw Jolyne standing nearby.
John frowned. This woman really seed to be haunting him.
He approached her and asked with a hint of suspicion, "Have you been waiting here the whole ti?"
"I just arrived," Jolyne replied coldly, glancing around, seemingly wanting to say sothing but then hesitating.
At that mont, Cand-Dragon and Nine-Tails also appeared.
They greeted John, but completely ignored Jolyne.
"Has Tony not arrived yet?" Cand-Dragon asked, a bit concerned as he didn't see Tony.
"He's here," Jolyne said indifferently.
Sure enough, Tony's figure erged from the mist. He looked a bit battered, with dried blood on his clothes, clearly showing that he had been injured.
As a demigod, fighting lower-tier gods' elental creatures was quite a challenge for him, though fortunately, his life wasn't in danger.
John glanced at Jolyne suspiciously.
His own soul perception hadn't detected Tony, yet this woman had sensed him beforehand.
"Master," Tony approached the group quickly, letting out a sigh of relief.
Cand-Dragon nodded and said, "Everyone, take out any extra elental spirit stones and hand them over to Godslayer."
He then produced 12 earth elental spirit stones and 15 water elental spirit stones.
Nine-Tails took out 14 fire elental spirit stones, 2 wind elental spirit stones, and 9 earth elental spirit stones.
Tony, feeling a bit embarrassed, said apologetically, "I couldn't find any elental spirit stones."
"No worries, I've got extras," John said as he casually took out over 300 elental spirit stones.
Everyone stared in shock.
"Master, how did you find so many elental spirit stones?" Nine-Tails asked in disbelief. The four elental creatures were spread out across different regions, yet the Spirit Stones that John took out covered all four elental attributes. Even if he didn't spend ti traveling, it seed impossible to gather so many Spirit Stones in just three days. Cand-Dragon seed to realize sothing, knowing that John had powerful clones at his disposal.
John smiled but didn't offer much of an explanation. He simply said, "I've already comprehended the laws of the four basic elents. Take what you need. There are still four days left, more than enough ti to fully grasp the laws of the four elents." Cand-Dragon spoke up, "Nine-Tails and I don't need them. We can take our ti hunting down elental creatures to find more stones. Tony should prioritize refining these. Any extras, you should keep for yourself. This is the final Secret Area of the Skyline Continent, and mastering the four basic elents will help you obtain the ultimate treasure."
"Alright," John didn't refuse.
The elental Spirit Stones weren't of much help to him anyway. By plundering the elental creatures' essence through combat, he could easily push his comprehension of the four elental laws to 100%.
At that mont, Jolyne stepped forward and presented over seventy elental Spirit Stones, her voice calm and distant, "These are the ones I found."
John was slightly surprised, glancing at Jolyne's still-cold deanor, and offered a simple, "Thank you."
A hint of doubt lingered in his mind. It seed as if this woman was genuinely trying to help him.
Tony received one hundred Spirit Stones each for wind, fire, and earth elents, and handed the rest to John.
Cand-Dragon then said, "We've got four more days. Let's continue searching for elental Spirit Stones. Tony, you'll co with ."
"Alright," Tony agreed. His strength was limited, and his only trump card was his Immortal Golden Body, but that was a defensive skill that consud a huge amount of his demonic energy. Venturing out alone would indeed be dangerous for him.
The group parted ways once more.
"Godslayer..." Jolyne began to speak, but before she could finish, John had already torn open a spatial rift and disappeared.
"Damn it!" She gritted her teeth in frustration, carefully sensing his direction before quickly
pursuing him.
John reappeared in a vast desert. With a re thought, his three clones shot out, each going in different directions to hunt down more elental creatures.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the sounds of intense battle echoed through the desert.
John's eyes lit up as he spotted two shadow Clan warriors slaughtering earth elental
creatures.
He swiftly flew over and positioned himself above the two, asking, "Need a hand?"
"Godslayer?" One of the Shadow Clan warriors recognized John, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes as he growled coldly, "Get lost!"
"Hah, feisty, aren't you?" John chuckled lightly, and with a thought, three longswords flew out. His Sword Mastery took over, and the blades frenziedly slashed through the elental creatures surrounding the two warriors.
John's old weapons, the Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword and the Sword of Divinity and Demons, had long been replaced with three top-tier divine longswords.
Before the two Shadow Clan warriors could even react, all the nearby earth elental
creatures were slaughtered by John's swift assault.
"What do you an by that, human?" one of them glared at John, his voice cold.
"What, you don't even know how to say thank you?" John taunted, smirking at the two of
them.
"These bastards don't know the aning of gratitude," a clear, cold voice suddenly ca
from behind him.
John flinched in surprise, frowning.
It was Jolyne.
He had no idea how this woman had managed to follow him.
At that mont, seven earth-elent Spirit Stones appeared from the elental creatures'
nest nearby.
Just as the two Shadow Clan warriors were about to act, a ribbon shot out, sweeping up the
seven Spirit Stones and sending them into Jolyne's hand.
Without even looking at them, she tossed the stones over to John.
"Those are ours, you bastard!" one of the warriors cursed angrily, ready to lunge forward to
reclaim them, but his companion quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Gene, calm down. Don't forget the rules here," his companion warned urgently. Jolyne's expression was filled with disdain as she continued, "What's the matter? Been
groveling for so long you can't stand on your own anymore? By the way, whose lapdogs were you again? The Blood Clan's? The Underworld Clan's? Or maybe the Insect Clan's?"
"Who... who are you?" Gene, still glaring at Jolyne, seed to sense sothing familiar about
her.
"I'm your father!" Jolyne replied sharply.
John was left dumbfounded. Was this icy woman really this aggressive?
"You're dead!" Gene roared, his rage boiling over as he shrugged off his companion's grip and
charged at Jolyne.
Her gaze remained cold and calm, watching him approach without moving an inch.
Boom!
Just as Gene was about to reach her, his body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist,
his soul instantly obliterated.
"Idiot," Jolyne spat with disdain. She then turned her eyes to the other Shadow Clan warrior
and added in a casual tone, "Oh, by the way, I heard that your clan's current status was bought by trading away your won? Got any won left in your clan?"
The Shadow Clan warrior's eye twitched, fury flaring up inside him, but he restrained himself.
This woman's words were cutting deep, and it was clear she knew far too much about the Shadow Clan. She wasn't soone to be taken lightly.
"Fine, I'll rember this," he growled coldly, before tearing open a spatial rift and
vanishing.
This guy had the Split Void ability too!
Jolyne frowned, clearly displeased.
"You're not from the Sea Clan, are you?" John walked over and looked at her, his tone flat.
Jolyne gave a small nod.
John continued, "What's your connection to the Sea King? And why are you getting close to
?"
Jolyne raised a finger to her lips, motioning for silence. Then, with a flicker of ntal energy,
she sealed off the space around them.
Such powerful soul energy!
John was taken aback, feeling the sheer strength of her soul force, which far exceeded his own.
John curiously looked at Jolyne. With the laws of the Secret Area in place, she couldn't harm
him, even if she wanted to.
"Godslayer, I an you no harm. In fact, you could say I'm half a mber of The Immortals," she said as her aura surged, revealing a treasure belonging to The Immortals.
John was taken aback. Jolyne's fusion with The Immortals' treasure was more advanced than
his own.
And not only that—she had rged with more than one racial treasure.
This woman had also used an Apocalypse Stone!
John frowned, still not fully trusting her.
Jolyne continued, "It's true that the Sea King asked to stop you from obtaining the final
treasure, but I won't do that. I will help you with all my strength and will never act against
you."
John stared at her and asked, "Why are you doing this? What's your motive?"
Jolyne fell silent for a mont before finally saying, "Consider it my way of repaying a debt."
Repaying a debt? A debt to The Immortals?
John was confused, but it was clear she didn't want to explain further.
With a wave of her hand, Jolyne dispelled the ntal barrier she had set up and said, "I can
sense Shadow Clan warriors nearby."
"Lead the way!" John's eyes lit up. Hunting down Shadow Clan was far more appealing to him
than killing elental creatures.
With his three clones still active, and four days to spare, he had more than enough ti to plunder enough knowledge to reach 100% comprehension of the four basic elental laws. Working together, John robbed Shadow Clan of their elental creatures.
Jolyne, on the other hand, focused on provoking and taunting them, fueling their anger. Over the next few days, John learned more about the Shadow Clan from her.
The rise of the Shadow Clan was steeped in filth and disgrace, much like the Dark Humans.
They had repeatedly pledged their loyalty to several different races.
But unlike the Dark Humans, the Shadow Clan was even more despicable. In their weakness,
they bowed and scraped, even going so far as to sacrifice their own won. However, once they gained power, they ruthlessly slaughtered the once-powerful races they
had sworn allegiance to, all to erase their shaful past.
Of the four main gods behind the Gods' Ga-representing the Sea Clan, Underworld Clan, and Nature Clan-none held any respect for the Shadow Clan. They were all filled with contempt for them.
But because the Shadow Clan had a main god of their own, no one dared to act against them.
