Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent-Chapter 522 - : Soul Laws, The Black Mist Descends Again

John frowned, not understanding why Thoublade was so excited. He stepped forward, positioning Leisian behind him, staring at Thoublade with cold eyes. "Thoublade, if you dare lay a hand on Leisian, don't blame me for making a move against you!"

Thoublade furrowed his brow, his expression one of displeasure. "Kid, I was just starting to like you a bit. Merciless is my nominal disciple, and I haven't agreed to whatever is going on between the two of you yet."

John glared at him, realizing that he had overreacted. It seemed that Thoublade didn't actually mean any harm toward Leisian.

Merciless's face flushed slightly with embarrassment, quickly changing the subject. "Master, is there any way to leave this place?"

"Leave?" Thoublade shook his head and replied, "I have an even crazier idea."

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

He glanced over at The Tree of Life not far away, then turned back to John, asking, "Kid, how many of The Heaven laws have you comprehended?"

John was a bit confused but answered, "Five Golden Wheels of Laws—I've comprehended Time, Order, and Mechanical Life Law."

"Mechanical Life Law?" Thoublade exclaimed, clearly puzzled.

But he didn't dwell on it, continuing to ask, "What about Soul Laws?"

"Soul Laws?" John looked even more confused. "Is there such a law?"

His Soul Technique had already surpassed 50 million points, and he had mastered soul attacks, but it wasn't the Soul Law itself.

"You haven't mastered the Soul Law?" Thoublade furrowed his brow, suddenly seeming a bit troubled.

Merciless spoke up. "Master, does leaving here require mastering the Soul Law?"

She remembered that Kaos had mastered the Soul The Heaven Law and had even condensed a Soul Golden Wheel of Laws.

Thoublade nodded, then shook his head. "It's not about leaving here. It's about devouring this place."

"Devouring this place?" The group was even more confused.

He continued, "Do you know what the Godslayer Monument Forest is?"

"Could it be Creator God Kaos's World-in-Hand?" Gaka guessed, surprised.

"Exactly!" Thoublade went on, "If I'm not mistaken, the Sea of Laws from the Kaos Starfield is also hidden here. Kaos has been using the Godslayer Monument Forest to kill powerful beings and devour their powers to make up for the energy loss in the Sea of Laws."

The group fell silent, their brows furrowed deeply.

John was also taken aback. The power of the Sea of Laws was actually fading? No wonder Kaos had tasked him with finding the Sea of Laws in the Initial Star Domain.

"No way," Goldflame said, looking puzzled. "If this is Kaos's World-in-Hand, how are we still alive? With just a thought, he could erase us."

Thoublade glanced at John, then explained, "Kaos is currently spread thin. News about the Initial World and the Seed of Fire has leaked, alerting other Creator Gods. They are now attacking Kaos. Plus, after Kaos created the world, his World-in-Hand has already separated from him. He can't be aware of everything happening here in real-time."

John recalled the events that took place when he first arrived in the Kaos Starfield. There had indeed been a battle occurring in the depths of the Void, and now it seemed clear that it was Kaos clashing with other Creator Gods.

Thoublade continued, "If we can devour the Sea of Laws, Kaos's power will be significantly reduced, and he definitely won't be able to withstand the attacks from the other Creator Gods."

John asked, "Does it require mastering the Soul Law?"

"Yes," Thoublade answered, "And you must also condense the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws."

John furrowed his brow. He hadn't even comprehended the Soul Law yet, let alone condensed the Golden Wheel of Laws.

He turned to Thoublade and said, "Senior, you must have mastered the Soul Law. Why not do the devouring yourself?"

Thoublade was an Eight-Star Emperor, and his The Overseer cultivation had reached the Nine-Star level. His World-in-Hand was incredibly powerful, far beyond what John could compare to.

Although John desired the Sea of Laws, his primary concern right now was escaping this place.

Thoublade shook his head. "I haven't condensed the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws, and my World-in-Hand can't bear the power of the Sea of Laws. Only your World-in-Hand, or perhaps that tree over there, can accomplish it."

He pointed toward The Tree of Life nearby.

John looked confused. The Tree of Life was powerful, but he didn't sense anything particularly special about it.

Thoublade continued explaining, "There was a Creator God who created a world using a life tree as its vessel. While your Tree of Life is still small, its potential is immense. It could undoubtedly withstand the power of the Sea of Laws, and it may even be capable of creating a world and becoming a Creator God."

Upon hearing his words, the others' faces lit up with excitement and hope.

"Master, how can we help John comprehend the Soul Law?" Merciless quickly asked.

Among them, only Thoublade had mastered the Soul Law.

He replied, "I will assist him in comprehending the Soul Law, but whether he can grasp it and condense it into the Golden Wheel of Laws depends on his comprehension."

John furrowed his brows. He felt that this wouldn't be easy. Even if he comprehended the Soul Law, condensing it into the Golden Wheel of Laws would be incredibly difficult. It was something that couldn't be done in a short time.

Right now, with other Creator Gods targeting the Initial Star Domain, he was worried about Earth's safety and couldn't afford to stay trapped here forever.

He seemed to think of something and spoke up: "Senior, if the Soul Technique increases, would it allow me to comprehend the Soul Law?"

Thoublade nodded. "Exactly, increasing your Soul Technique is the key."

"I see." John relaxed. This was too easy for him. He possessed the Plunder talent, and there were numerous beasts in the Godslayer Monument Forest, many of which were Soul Devouring Beasts.

Slaying Soul Devouring Beasts would allow him to Plunder their Soul Technique.

Thoublade frowned. "Kid, do you think this will be easy? It takes at least one hundred million points of Soul Technique to even begin to condense the Soul Golden Wheel of Laws. Your Soul Technique is only around fifty million points, so you're still far from the required threshold."

"I'm confident." John said with a confident smile, offering no further explanation.

He continued, "Let's focus on recovering for now. This isn't something we need to rush. The real danger is the enemies outside."

John was well aware that, with Thoublade's Intimidation, and since the corrupted black mist outside had temporarily receded, their enemies hadn't made a move yet.

The corrupted black mist was intermittent, and once it returned, they would definitely stop at nothing to destroy his World-in-Hand.

The group nodded in agreement and didn't say anything more, retreating to meditate and heal beneath The Tree of Life.

...

Outside, a group of powerful individuals gathered. It was clear they weren't planning to let John's World-in-Hand go. They were discussing countermeasures.

"We don't know the exact pattern of the corrupted black mist. We need to capture that human's World-in-Hand before it returns," Hybird said coldly, with the others nodding in agreement.

"But Thoublade is too strong, and that human isn't to be underestimated. We're no match for them," one person said, his face wary after recalling the earlier battle.

The others frowned in concern.

Hybird turned to Highshield and asked, "My lord, do you have any way of dealing with Thoublade?"

He shook his head. "If we were in the corrupted black mist, he wouldn't dare use his World-in-Hand. With all of us attacking together, we might be able to kill him. But without the mist, I'm no match for him."

The group fell silent, their faces filled with despair.

"Perhaps we can use the power of those giant beasts," a member of the Merciless Sect suggested.

Everyone's eyes lit up at the idea. It was indeed a possible solution.

The giant beasts here weren't affected by the corrupted black mist, and they had already encountered six-star Emperor-level beasts. If they could gather all these beasts and unleash them to invade John's World-in-Hand, it would be nearly impossible for him to defend against them.

Especially the powerful Ruin Beasts, which could even Devour World-in-Hand itself.

Highshield nodded. "This plan is good. I left a mental mark in that human's World-in-Hand. As long as we gather enough giant beasts and charge in, we can definitely take over his World-in-Hand."

"Good, let's attract the giant beasts right away," several of them agreed, immediately setting to work, searching for the giant beasts in the Godslayer Monument Forest.

There were countless giant beasts here, all Emperor-level Bone Devouring Beasts, Soul Devouring Beasts, and Ruin Beasts.

Some of them were even six-star and seven-star Emperor beasts. Thoublade was strong, but facing the overwhelming number of giant beasts, he would be no match.

Moreover, the Ruin Beasts could Devour World-in-Hand, and he dared not casually use the power of his own World-in-Hand.

They had to gather enough beasts before the next wave of corrupted black mist arrived and seize John's World-in-Hand, or the consequences would be dire.

Roar, roar...

The sounds of furious roars echoed, one after another, as countless giant beasts gathered towards their direction.

In just a few days, they had attracted over a hundred thousand giant beasts, all at least three-star Emperor level.

They didn't bother with the weaker ones, all of them were slaughtered.

There were even over a dozen seven-star Emperor beasts, enough to tie down Thoublade.

However, there were casualties among their group, though fortunately, all of them were three-star Emperor or below.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the wind howled, and from the crack in the shattered stone tablet, black mist surged out.

The corrupted black mist had returned.

The group, still engaged with the giant beasts, noticed this and their expressions changed.

Hybird quickly said, "Highshield, it's up to you now."

"No problem!" Highshield responded coldly. Holding a long spear, he felt the mental mark left in John's World-in-Hand. With a sweep of his spear, he slashed through the Void.

Whoosh!

The power of the Heavenspace Law surged, and the Void was torn open, creating a spatial rift that connected to John's World-in-Hand.

"Go!"

He roared, leading the charge through the spatial rift.

Roar, roar...

The terrifying roars of the giant beasts followed closely behind as they charged through the rift, invading the World-in-Hand.

Under the Tree of Life, John immediately sensed something was wrong and opened his eyes in anger.

"Beasts!" He gritted his teeth and cursed, "These bastards are really despicable."

He felt the terrifying presence of over a dozen seven-star Emperor-level beasts.

His heart sank with worry as he turned to Thoublade and asked, "Senior, can we stop them?"

"No problem!" Thoublade nodded, standing up.

He had decided to directly use the power of his World-in-Hand. Even if his own World-in-Hand was destroyed, he couldn't let John's World-in-Hand fall.
