Chapter 515 -515: Seed of Fire, Merciless is Saved
"Dulu, up!" John commanded, taking the lead with a swift strike toward the divine servants.
Dulu let out a furious roar, swinging his spear with overwhelming force, slamming it down on the five-star Emperor powerhouse.
Boom!
A resounding crash echoed as the man was sent flying, his eyes wide in shock as he looked at Dulu.
His expression was one of confusion, but he quickly said, "You are Lord Dulu? Lord, I am Gatherline from Roshan City, we are allies."
"Hmph, who said we're allies?" Dulu sneered, his strikes merciless and lethal.
Gatherline finally understood, his face contorting in rage. "Bastard, you actually betrayed Lord Creator God! You shall not be forgiven!"
Flames erupted around him as two curved blades appeared in his hands. His attacks were wild and violent, rivaling Dulu's strength.
The two clashed in an instant, the air crackling with terrifying energy as they fought evenly matched.
John and the others turned their attention to the other divine servants—two four-star Emperors, two three-star Emperors, and the rest of them were one- and two-star Emperors.
Except for him, Gaka and the others were no match for these divine servants.
Fortunately, in this period of time, his strength had grown tremendously. He had broken through to the two-star Emperor rank, and with five Golden Wheels of Laws activated, combined with the overwhelming power of White Jade City, he was easily able to hold down the two four-star Emperors.
The Merciless cult member was also strong, at the four-star Emperor level, and with Gaka and the others, they managed to entangle the rest of the divine servants.
Boom, boom...
Thunderous explosions reverberated, shattering the space around them. John wielded his Golden Wheels of Laws, relentlessly attacking the two divine servants.
"Who are you, kid, to openly oppose Roshan City?" one of the four-star Emperors shouted, barely managing to block John's attacks as he asked with trepidation.
Though they were four-star Emperors, they weren't The Overseer, and they were in a dire situation.

There was a significant gap between ordinary Emperors and The Overseer.
"You don't deserve to know!" John sneered, summoning the Four Extermination Swords. The sharp sword lights flashed with a killing intent so strong it filled the air.
His attacks grew even stronger, forcing the two four-star Emperors to retreat in haste.
"He's so strong!" the Merciless cult member thought, her eyes flashing under her mask. She involuntarily took a few steps back, looking for an opportunity to escape.
John had struck suddenly, and she didn't believe these people were here to rescue her. Since they were already engaged in battle with the divine servants, she saw an opening to flee.
However, the divine servants weren't going to let her escape so easily. Their attacks were relentless, like a tidal wave, leaving no room for her to flee.
Boom!
Another powerful crash sounded as White Jade City howled, sending the two four-star Emperors flying through the air.
"Nine Heavens Sword!" John roared, and a massive sword aura tore through the sky, whistling as it slashed down.
At the same time, the five Golden Wheels of Laws spun rapidly, viciously tearing through the air.
Pfft!
Blood splattered as a four-star Emperor was sent flying, gravely wounded, barely escaping instant death.
John didn't give him a chance to recover. He summoned the Destruction Golden Wheel of Laws, smashing it down with full force.
Boom!
In an instant, the man was reduced to a cloud of blood mist, his soul wiped out by the Golden Wheel of Laws, ensuring his complete death.
[You have killed a four-star Emperor divine servant. Plunder talent activated.]
[All four basic attributes +100 million, comprehension of The Heaven elemental law increases.]
The prompt flashed on the screen. The strength of these divine servants was not weaker than that of the mighty beasts, yet his four basic attributes had only increased by 100 million points.
Even so, it was still an extraordinary gain.
With a casual motion, John stored the man's dropped items into his World-in-Hand and then charged toward another Emperor-level opponent.
"Run!" The man's face contorted in fear as he glanced at Gatherline, who was still engaged with Dulu. Without hesitation, he turned to flee.
"Spatial confinement!" John's cold voice echoed, and the space law golden wheel spun, directly sealing the entire area.
In the next moment, several sword lights flashed and enveloped the man.
"Bastard, Lord Hall won't let you get away with this," the man cried in terror, producing a signal flare to send a message to Lord Hall, the lord of Roshan City.
"Begging for help now is too late!" John's voice was cold, his deep eyes flashing with a streak of light. A strange force erupted, the power of the Time Law.
Time stopped!
In an instant, a bizarre field of law enveloped them. All the combatants remained frozen in their attacking stances, stunned in place. The surrounding area fell silent, as time itself ceased to move.
The divine servants and the Merciless cult member all widened their eyes in shock, their expressions full of terror.
Boom!
John controlled the Golden Wheel of Laws, striking down with unrelenting force. The four-star Emperor was killed instantly.
[You have killed a four-star Emperor divine servant. Plunder talent activated.]
[All four basic attributes +100 million, comprehension of The Heaven elemental law increases.]
The prompt flashed again. John didn't slow down in the slightest. He manipulated the Four Extermination Swords and turned his attention toward the five-star Emperor.
Now, with his profound comprehension of the Time Law, he was able to cast Time Stop again, and this time, the five-star Emperor couldn't break it as easily.
The man's face twisted in fear, his eyes wide as he stared helplessly at the ever-growing sword light.
Pfft, pfft...
Blood sprayed everywhere as the sharp sword lights, infused with the power of The Heaven laws, easily cut through the man, killing him instantly.
[You have killed a five-star Emperor divine servant. Plunder talent activated.]
[All four basic attributes +200 million, comprehension of The Heaven elemental law increases.]
...
The prompts continued to flash, and in an instant, all the divine servants had been slain.
The only ones left standing were the Merciless cult member and Gaka's group.
He raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers. The time stop effect was lifted, and the group regained their ability to move.
The Merciless cult member stared at him in fear, stepping back a bit before coldly asking, "Who are you?"
She could sense that if John decided to act against her, she would surely die.
Dulu and the others moved forward, surrounding her, preventing any chance of escape.
John glanced at her briefly and said indifferently, "I am a friend of Merciless Emperor. Do you know where Merciless is?"
"Friend? Hmph!" The cult member scoffed, her eyes full of disdain. "You're all The Overseer. If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Abyss, aren't you?"
Abyss?
John had already learned that this was another organization from the Kaos Star Domain, composed of a group of The Overseer. However, they had been hiding in the shadows, avoiding the pursuit of the divine servants.
Before John could respond, the cult member continued, "What 'friend of Merciless Emperor'? You're just after the Seed of Fire. Even if I die, I won't tell you where Merciless is."
"Seed of Fire?" John asked, his face showing confusion.
Gaka and the others, however, looked surprised, their expressions changing immediately as they stared at the cult member.
At that moment, Gaka's voice echoed in John's mind, explaining, "John, the Seed of Fire is the core of The Heaven law. The reason Creator God's world was destroyed is because it lacked the Seed of Fire. Both Creator God and The Overseer are searching for this thing. But Merciless Emperor isn't The Overseer; they cannot possibly possess the Seed of Fire. I suspect it's related to your daughter."
John furrowed his brow, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the cult member. "I'll give you a chance to live. Tell me where Merciless Emperor is."
"Dream on!" The cult member gritted her teeth and turned to flee.
Voom!
The power of spatial law surged, and the surrounding space was locked down.
John didn't waste any more words. He immediately cast the Soul Binding Curse, Divine Mindless.
A powerful wave of spiritual power surged, instantly invading the depths of the cult member's soul.
Then, he used Memory Search, probing through her memories.
Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind, revealing details about Merciless Emperor and the Merciless cult.
"Cough!" The spiritual power dissipated, and the cult member coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her eyes were filled with terror as she stared at John and growled, "What did you do to me?"
"Hmph, you are of no use to me anymore." John's killing intent radiated from him as he suddenly struck, summoning the Destruction Golden Wheel of Laws.
Boom!
The cult member, only a three-star Emperor, was completely incapable of blocking his attack. She was instantly obliterated into a bloody mist, her soul eradicated.
[You have killed a three-star Emperor. Plunder talent activated.]
[All four basic attributes +100 million. Obtained Merciless Secret Art.]
Merciless Secret Art?
John paused for a moment. This was the cult's secret technique—powerful and sinister. To practice this art, one had to sever all emotions and attachments.
The technique was powerful, but it wasn't something he would practice.
"John, did you find any information on Merciless Emperor?" Nine Phoenix quickly asked.
John nodded and replied, "Merciless Emperor was here. After that, he was captured by the Merciless cult and taken to the Endless Ice Domain. However, along the way, he was saved by the former elder of the Merciless cult, Granny Goldflame. His current whereabouts are unknown."
He was right in his guess— the Merciless cult wouldn't protect Merciless. They intended to groom him and Merciless's daughter as the next Saintess.
Thankfully, he had been saved by Granny Goldflame.
"Granny Goldflame?" Gaka frowned, muttering softly to himself.
John turned to him, confused. "Do you know her?"
John had searched the cult member's memories, but she didn't know much about Granny Goldflame's identity either. All she knew was that Granny Goldflame had been a former elder of the Merciless cult, though she had long since left the organization.
Gaka spoke up, "I remember a senior like that. It seems she betrayed the Merciless cult and was expelled by the cult leader, Glasice."
John nodded. His memory search had revealed the same information.
But what remained unclear was whether Granny Goldflame had any malicious intent.
Nine Phoenix asked, "John, what should we do next?"
"Thoublade City," he replied. "Merciless was saved by Granny Goldflame in Thoublade City. We'll go there and see if we can gather any information."
"Master, isn't this a bit too risky? The lord of Thoublade City is an eight-star Emperor, and I've heard he is also a The Overseer," Dulu quickly spoke up.
The lord of Thoublade City, Thoublade, was one of the few The Overseer under Kaos's command. His power was terrifying, and it was said that even a nine-star Emperor would have a hard time fighting him.
"It's fine. We won't enter his territory; we'll only scout the outer edges for information," John responded calmly. He had to go to Thoublade City—Merciless had been saved there, and it was possible the city lord, Thoublade, was involved in some way.
The group said no more. They covered up the traces of the battle and, before the divine servants of Roshan City could catch up, quickly left.
Thoublade City wasn't far from Roshan City. The group flew at full speed, and three days later, they arrived at the borders of Thoublade City's territory.
