"Brother John, thank you!" Heavenly King felt the changes in his World-in-Hand, his heart filled with gratitude.
Not only had John helped him withstand the Thunder Tribulation, but now he had completely restored his World-in-Hand.
He was now even confident in his ability to reach the highest position-Creator God!
John rely nodded slightly, his figure flashing as he rushed toward Celestial Vault.
"Hmph, you overestimate yourselves!" Celestial Vault sneered, his aura swirling with imnse dark Heaven Laws. Among them were several strange powers that surged toward him.
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded, and John was struck with a trendous force, flying backward.
"So strong!" John stared in shock at Celestial Vault.
This guy wasn't even an Emperor level powerhouse, yet his comprehension of the Heaven Laws was no weaker than his own.
What was even more bizarre was the special force emanating from Celestial Vault's body. John couldn't identify the power of laws it ca from, and he couldn't even defend against it.
At that mont, Nine Phoenix spoke from the side: "John, our mission is complete. Let's retreat."
She understood well that with their combined strength, defeating Celestial Vault was impossible, let alone killing him.
John furrowed his brows, unwilling to leave, but reluctantly nodded in agreent.
"Hmph, now you want to leave? It's too late! You almost destroyed my Dark City! No matter where you go, I will kill you all!" Celestial Vault roared, charging at them once again without hesitation.
Boom...
The battle resud in full force.
Even with all four of them fighting together, they were no match for Celestial Vault.
They attempted to retreat, but Celestial Vault was fixated on one person, and escape was impossible.
Whoosh!
At that mont, two more terrifying auras descended.
It was Demon Emperor and Void Emperor.
Both of them had felt the Emperor Thunder Tribulation and rushed over imdiately.
"Chaos, stop!" Demon Emperor shouted, halting the ongoing battle.
He turned his gaze toward Heavenly King in surprise and said, "Heavenly King, you actually managed to survive the Emperor Thunder Tribulation?"
He was well aware of Heavenly King's situation-his World-in-Hand was severely damaged and had barely advanced. Despite being a Nine-Star Peak powerhouse, his strength had been greatly affected, and he should have been incapable of withstanding the Thunder Tribulation.
Heavenly King glanced at him coldly, his voice indifferent. "That's none of your business, Demon Emperor."
His tone was far from polite. He had long been displeased with both Demon Emperor and Void Emperor.
Now that he had beco an Emperor, he stood on the sa level as them, and there was no need for him to show any courtesy anymore.
Demon Emperor furrowed his brows, his expression filled with dissatisfaction, but he dared not say much more.
He turned to Celestial Vault and said indifferently, "Celestial Vault, I've already told you. The Heaven Monunt will descend soon. We are forbidden from taking action against Emperor level experts. Have you forgotten?"
"Hmph!" Celestial Vault snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain. "Today, I will kill these few. If you two are not happy with that, you can co at together!"
His tone was full of arrogance, overflowing with confidence.
Both Demon Emperor and Void Emperor were clearly furious, but they also knew the trump card Celestial Vault held.
They both glanced at the nearby volcano, their hearts filled with wariness.
Others may not know the identity of Celestial Vault, but they were well aware of it.
If they provoked this guy too much, they would probably all have no chance of leaving.
After so thought, Demon Emperor looked at John and decided to compromise. He spoke, "Fine. You can kill that human, and we won't interfere. But if you want to act against Emperor level experts, you must wait until the Heaven Monunt's descent is complete."
The arrival of the Heaven Monunt was crucial-it was their best chance of escaping the Realm of Chaos.
No matter what, he couldn't allow this plan to go awry.
"Impossible!" Heavenly King imdiately stepped in front of John, staring directly at Celestial Vault, his voice cold. "If you dare harm my brother John, you'll have to get through first."
Nine Phoenix and Chaos also stepped forward without hesitation, their intentions clear. "Hmm?" Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes, looking at Heavenly King in confusion.
An Emperor level powerhouse was actually calling this human his brother.
And judging by the stance of the others, they seed prepared to risk their lives to protect him.
He was sowhat curious-what was so special about this John that three Emperor level experts were willing to lay down their lives to guard him?
"Hmph!" Celestial Vault sneered again, his disdain even more evident. "Demon Emperor, you saw for yourself. It's not that I'm refusing to give you face, but these people are seeking death on their own. I advise you two not to intervene, or I'll kill you both along with them."
The atmosphere on the scene beca tense once more, the air charged with hostility. Demon Emperor and Void Emperor exchanged a glance. After a mont's hesitation, they stepped aside.
They decided not to interfere in this matter.
As for the Heaven Monunt plan, if Celestial Vault were to act with full force, it wouldn't make much of a difference whether Nine Phoenix and the others were involved.
"Very well, you've made a wise choice!" Celestial Vault sneered coldly, about to strike once more, aiming to kill John and the others.
"Enough!" Suddenly, a shout of rage ca from the air. The group felt a buzzing in their
heads.
At the sa ti, Celestial Vault coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face paling as he looked up in shock toward the sky.
Unnoticed by the group, a shadowy figure had appeared above them. It was an ancient- looking elder, silent and imperceptible, and none of them had sensed his arrival.
Nine Phoenix and the others imdiately recognized the elder, their faces filled with shock. They quickly bowed in respect. "Greetings, Lord Overlord."
Overlord? John was puzzled, his curiosity piqued as he looked at the shadow in the air.
He had never heard this title before, and the old man seed like an existence even stronger
than an Emperor.
The shadowy figure gave a slight nod, his deep gaze sweeping over the group, lingering on John for a mont longer.
Then, he turned his gaze to Celestial Vault, his tone icy and indifferent. "This farce ends
here."
The group imdiately lowered their heads in respect, not daring to protest in the slightest.
But Celestial Vault gritted his teeth, staring coldly at the old man. "My son was killed, and Dark City was almost destroyed. I'm giving you face here. I won't make things difficult for Nine Phoenix and the others, but this human must die!"
"Hmph!" The old man scoffed in disdain. "Celestial Vault, do you really think I'm blind? Do you think I don't know all the things you've done over the years? You still think you're like Skybroke, proving the Dao with your body and becoming sothing like The Heaven? Don't think you can intimidate . Stop hiding, summon your true form, and let see just how
much you've truly comprehended."
True form?
John looked toward the now calm volcano, rembering the powerful aura he had felt earlier.
Could it be that Celestial Vault's true form was inside that volcano?
If this body was just a projection, how powerful would his true form be?
Could it be sothing even beyond an Emperor?
John turned his gaze back to the elder, growing more curious about the old man's identity.
At that mont, Celestial Vault's expression darkened. His eyes flickered with hesitation, and after a long silence, he chose to retreat.
"Tsk tsk, it's quite lively here!" Suddenly, another voice rang out.
A figure materialized, taking the shape of a handso young man with blonde hair, a faint
smile on his face.
"The Lord of Light, Anixegon!" Chaos exclaid in shock, his gaze fixed coldly on the
newcor.
Lord of Light? Soone from the Church of Light?
John looked at the newcor with confusion, curious about the person. Just like Celestial
Vault, he could not sense any aura emanating from him.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, a gust of wind howled, and the elder moved, striking at Anixegon, the Lord of
Light.
He did not dare to underestimate the situation. He gathered his most powerful attack and launched it back at the elder.
"Be careful. Heavenly King, retract your World-in-Hand!" Nine Phoenix's face changed as
she hurriedly warned.
Heavenly King reacted imdiately and retracted World-in-Hand.
The group quickly pulled John back, retreating rapidly. DemonEmperor and VoidEmperor also looked grim, swiftly retreating to a distant location.
The only one left on the battlefield was Celestial Vault.
Buzz!
The two forces collided with a trendous roar. The space humd, followed by an earth- shattering boom. Terrifying waves of energy surged, and the space shattered. Endless The power of laws surged, instantly reducing everything around to nothingness.
Even Celestial Vault was struck down, but his body quickly reford. Surrounding them, everything was obliterated, except for the volcano, which remained intact.
[You were struck down by Overlord Anixegon. Your Undying and Immortal talent has been
triggered.]
A ssage flashed on the screen. John had already retreated a thousand miles away, but the massive energy still swept toward him, instantly killing him again.
Nine Phoenix and the others also had grim expressions, their injuries worsening.
"How terrifying!" John said with a heavy expression, staring at Overlord and Anixegon in the
sky.
The power of their attacks was even more horrifying than the Emperor Thunder Tribulation. Both of them hovered in the air, their auras continuously rising, though they showed no
intention of attacking further.
Their strikes were evenly matched.
However, it was clear that Overlord was the more powerful of the two. He was rely a projection, whereas Anixegon, the Lord of Light, had descended in his true form. "Bastards! Overlord, Anixegon, what is the aning of this?" Celestial Vault roared in fury,
his Dark City nearly destroyed, now nothing but ruins.
He glared at the two, coldly questioning them.
"A mistake." Anixegon smiled faintly, yet his tone carried no hint of apology.
He looked toward Overlord, speaking, "Overlord, I'm just here to watch the show, I have no
intention of being enemies. Please don't misunderstand."
"Hmph!" Overlord scoffed, glaring at Anixegon as he warned, "This sudden appearance of The Heaven God Tablet-don't think I don't know it's the work of your Church of Light. If you pull any tricks, I will kill you on the spot."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Anixegon smiled broadly, quickly waving his hands in
denial.
Overlord ignored him and turned his gaze toward Nine Phoenix and the others. His voice rang
out, booming through the air. "One month from now, all those who have participated in the comprehension of The Heaven God Tablet, co to my World-in-Hand." With that, his figure dissipated and vanished without a trace.
Nine Phoenix and the others hurriedly bowed in respect. They then turned to John and said,
"Let's go!"
After that, their figures disappeared instantly.
"Bastards!" Celestial Vault watched in fury, his anger reaching a boiling point. He was too
late to stop them and dared not make another move.
He feared that Overlord might return and threaten him with his true form.
