MTLNOVEL Chapter 506: Killing the Nine-Headed Lion, Time Law
"Not good!" The Nine-Headed Lion screamed in panic. It opened its massive, bloodied mouth, and eight of its heads fired eight beams of light, which merged into a single powerful attack aimed at the Golden Wheel of Laws.
Boom!
A violent roar filled the air as the Void collapsed, and a terrifying force surged through, sending John flying through the air.
The Nine-Headed Lion didn't fare any better. It was severely injured, blood spilling from the corners of its mouths, and its energy was fading.
This time, John was determined to finish it off.
"Foolish Dulu, are you really going to just stand there and watch us die?" the Nine-Headed Lion roared angrily, its voice weak with exhaustion.
It knew that neither it nor the three-headed beasts were any match for John. If this continued, they were as good as dead.
The only one who might stand a chance against John was the five-star Emperor, Dulu.
But that guy, while powerful, wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He had no flexibility, no cleverness. He simply didn't get it.
He continued to pound against the barrier, glanced at the injured Nine-Headed Lion, and said, "If the Creator God commands it, I will act. Don't disturb me now."
"F*** you!" The Nine-Headed Lion cursed furiously, unable to do anything to this idiot.
John watched the scene with amusement. He was even starting to like this guy named Dulu.
It had been a long time since he met someone so... pure.
"Nine-Headed Lion, not even if the Creator God himself descends today can save you," John said coldly, killing intent radiating from him. He launched another full-force attack.
The Golden Wheel of Laws roared, and the White Jade City came crashing down.
The others were in torment.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed, blood splattering in all directions, and the Nine-Headed Lion's heart-wrenching scream filled the air.
One of its heads was obliterated by the Golden Wheel of Laws, its massive body faltering, on the verge of collapsing.
"Run!" It was truly afraid now. If this kept up, it would definitely die.
Without hesitation, it abandoned the three pitiful beasts and turned to flee towards a distant spatial portal.
As long as it could escape this place, it would be safe. There was no way this human would dare chase it into Kaos's star domain.
"Trying to run?" John noticed its intent and summoned the power of the Space Law. The golden wheel of space howled as it flew out, and the overwhelming force of the laws enveloped the area, directly sealing off the entire space.
"Die!" he shouted in fury, disregarding the attacks from the other three beasts. Several Golden Wheels of Laws and the White Jade City launched together, relentlessly striking the Nine-Headed Lion.
Boom!
The Void shattered, blood filled the air, and the Nine-Headed Lion's enormous body was sent flying backwards.
John wasn't unscathed, either. He took the brunt of the attacks from the three four-star Emperor beasts, and was immediately struck down.
But then, the Lifesaver ability activated, and he was resurrected on the spot.
"Nine Heavens Sword!" Without sparing a single glance at the three giant beasts, John vanished from his spot and reappeared right in front of the Nine-Headed Lion. The United Sword howled as a cold, gleaming sword energy flashed, a massive sword aura tearing through the Void with a deadly intent that filled the air.
"No!" the Nine-Headed Lion roared in despair, its remaining heads summoning the power of laws to try and block the incoming sword strike.
Puff!
The laws shattered, and another head was severed.
The Nine-Headed Lion was left with only five heads, its vitality rapidly fading, its breath growing weak. It hurriedly pleaded, "Human, don't kill me! I'm willing to serve you as my master."
"Mm?" John paused for a moment, looking at the severely injured creature, before decisively rejecting its offer, "You're worth more to me dead."
"Golden Wheel of Laws, Strangle!" he shouted in fury. Five Golden Wheels of Laws transformed into longswords. Sword Mastery activated, and they began wildly slashing at the remaining five heads of the Nine-Headed Lion.
At the same time, a massive shadow loomed overhead as White Jade City came crashing down once again.
"Damned bastard!" the Nine-Headed Lion cursed in despair, glancing towards Dulu, who was still pounding on the barrier in the distance. "Dulu, even if I become a ghost, I will never forgive you..."
Boom!
The Void collapsed, and the Nine-Headed Lion's voice abruptly stopped as it was obliterated.
[You have killed the Nine-Headed Lion. Plunder talent activated.]
[+2 billion to the four base attributes. Enhancement in comprehension of Wind Elemental Laws, Earth Elemental Laws, Time Elemental Laws...]
Prompt information flashed on the screen, and John's four base attributes increased by another 2 billion points.
Moreover, he had Plundered various elemental laws and comprehended both Space and Time laws more deeply.
His elemental law golden wheel and space law golden wheel gained a slight increase in power.
Even more importantly, John sensed a vague method of consolidating the Time Law golden wheel.
"Now, it's your turn," John spoke coldly, turning his gaze towards the three giant beasts: the four-star Emperor-ranked Bone Devouring Beast, Soul Devouring Beast, and Ruin Beast.
Having slain the Nine-Headed Lion and gained a significant power boost, dealing with these three beasts was no longer a challenge.
The three giant beasts exchanged a glance, their expressions serious, and then they roared in unison, launching their attacks.
The Void shattered, bones flying through the air, accompanied by devastating soul attacks.
The three beasts held nothing back, unleashing their most powerful attacks.
"Hmph, overestimating yourselves," John sneered, summoning five Golden Wheels of Laws, which hurtled towards the Soul Devouring Beast—the greatest threat.
The two sides collided once more, their terrifying power shaking the very laws of the universe. The Void shattered in their wake, and countless magical beasts were caught in the turmoil.
Even one-star Emperor magical beasts couldn't withstand such an overwhelming display of power, quickly fleeing the battlefield.
The three giant beasts were no weaker than the Nine-Headed Lion.
Under their siege, John did suffer some injuries, but they were insignificant to him.
The Golden Wheel of Laws howled through the air as an array of powerful skills, weapons, and magical treasures erupted in quick succession, leaving the three giant beasts with no chance to counterattack.
"Divine Mindless!"
"Judgment!"
The Void trembled as John unleashed a potent soul attack, striking the Soul Devouring Beast directly.
Buzz!
In an instant, overwhelming spiritual power invaded the beast's soul. Its expression went blank, and for a brief moment, it seemed to lose all focus.
"Die!" John seized the opportunity. The Elemental, Chaos, and Destruction Golden Wheels of Laws all appeared together, crashing down on the beast with brutal force.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, blood mist filled the air. The massive body of the Soul Devouring Beast was shattered, and its soul was mercilessly torn apart by the three Golden Wheels of Laws.
[You have killed the Four-Star Emperor Soul Devouring Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[+1 billion to the four base attributes, +50 million Soul Technique points.]
Prompt information flashed on the screen, and a surge of power rushed through him, instantly gathering throughout his limbs and bones.
John felt his mind sharpen, and his Soul Technique had been greatly enhanced.
Boom, boom!
At that moment, the attacks from the two remaining beasts, the Ruin Beast and the Bone Devouring Beast, struck, sending him flying through the air.
However, these two beasts no longer posed any threat to him.
"It's over." John spoke coldly, his killing intent spreading. The Four Extermination Swords howled into action, and all five Golden Wheels of Laws came crashing down with full force.
The two giant beasts swallowed nervously, exchanging a glance, and without hesitation, turned to flee.
"Trying to escape?" John sneered. The Space Law golden wheel howled, directly sealing off the space.
But that wasn't the end.
"Time Stop!" His eyes flashed with a cold glint, and the power of the Time Law was unleashed, spreading instantly.
Having killed the Nine-Headed Lion and plundered the comprehension of Time Law, combined with the boost from slaying the Soul Devouring Beast and enhancing his Soul Technique, John felt an immediate surge of understanding.
Buzz!
The Void trembled as everything fell into eerie silence. The two giant beasts and Dulu froze in place.
Crack!
But then, with a sharp sound, the Time Law shattered. A sharp pain shot through John's head, and a faint trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He glanced at Dulu in surprise. The guy had broken the time freeze.
This was... strange. The guy's power was a little unpredictable.
The two beasts snapped out of the time freeze, their expressions filled with terror, and without hesitation, they turned and fled deeper into the Void.
Especially the Ruin Beast, which directly shattered the Void.
"Damn it!" John gritted his teeth, locking onto the Bone Devouring Beast. He activated his Space Technique and immediately pursued it, controlling five Golden Wheels of Laws, which came crashing down fiercely. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
"Roar..."
Accompanied by a pained howl, blood filled the air as half of the Bone Devouring Beast's body was shattered, leaving it grievously wounded.
Then, countless sword lights flickered, and the Four Extermination Swords howled through the air, furiously slicing through the beast.
The Bone Devouring Beast had no chance to resist and was immediately slain.
[You have killed the Four-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast. Plunder talent activated.]
[+2 billion to the four base attributes.]
The prompt flashed on the screen, and John's strength was significantly enhanced once again.
When he attempted to chase after the Ruin Beast, that creature had already vanished into the Void, disappearing without a trace.
"What a shame, it managed to escape." He muttered in frustration before his gaze locked onto the bald man, Dulu.
That guy was still mindlessly hammering away at the barrier.
At this point, cracks had spread all across the barrier, resembling a massive net, and it had become extremely fragile.
John's expression grew serious as he manipulated the five Golden Wheels of Laws and decisively struck.
Buzz!
The space trembled, and the man's form vanished strangely, dodging the attack from the Golden Wheel of Laws. He reappeared immediately afterward, completely ignoring John, still relentlessly pounding on the barrier.
"Hm?" John furrowed his brows, surprised. "Void talent?"
He could sense that Dulu didn't just have regular Space Laws or elemental teleportation abilities. When his form disappeared, it was as though he was no longer in this world.
Even entering the World-in-Hand couldn't achieve something like that.
"I'll see just what kind of ability you really have!" John gritted his teeth and, wielding the United Sword, charged in for a close-range attack.
Buzz!
The sword hummed with energy as the longsword cut through the air. However, Dulu's form vanished again.
The next second, he appeared not far away, still hammering away at the barrier, completely ignoring John's attack.
"Human, stop interfering. You are no match for me." Dulu said indifferently, his tone serious.
John opened his mouth, but found he couldn't argue.
This guy's ability was truly strange—no space confinement could hold him.
The only thing that could work was Time Law, but this guy could easily break through it, and John would end up suffering a backlash.
John decisively abandoned the attack, studying him curiously. His eyes flickered as he spoke, "You serve Creator God so loyally. He must have given you plenty of rewards, right?"
"Rewards?" Dulu paused for a moment, but his actions didn't stop. He continued pounding on the barrier and, with a puzzled look, asked, "What's that?"
John realized then: this guy was powerful, but his mind was still undeveloped.
