Chapter 328: Chapter 328: The Immortals Faction, Golden-Patterned Hunters
?
The system prompt shed on the screen, and John and his group decisively chose to join The Immortals faction.
Other powerful figures from various races hesitated for a moment, but eventually, they also chose to join The Immortals faction.
At this point, the warriors from Shadow n became restless.
"This is unfair, this is targeting our Shadow n! I protest!" one of them yelled angrily.
The others, however, looked at him with disdain. Although they were all part of the Lord God faction, they held no fondness for Shadow n.
Of course, they were even more hostile toward The Immortals, but the reality was that only if The Immortals faction won could they advance to the next trial and obtain the ultimate rewards.
For the treasure of The Immortals in the Secret Area, they had no choice but to temporarily align with The Immortals faction.
One person sneered, "You can always choose the Shadow n faction. Who knows, maybe you''ll win after all?"
"Exactly. You Shadow n people always im to be the top race, right? I have high hopes for you," another mocked.
The others joined in, taunting the Shadow n warriors.
Enraged, the Shadow n warriors gritted their teeth but had no other option. They dared not choose the Shadow n faction, for if they lost, they would be teleported away or even perish here.
[Please choose a faction as soon as possible. If no choice is made within ten seconds, you will automatically be ced in the weaker faction.]
The system prompt echoed again, and a ten-second countdown began.
"My lord, let''s join The Immortals. We are no match for those guys," one of Shadow
n''s subordinates said anxiously, looking at their leader.
It was clear that Shadow n was the weaker side.
The leader of Shadow n was Yealper, the lord of the 47th City.
The number of a city lord signified their rank in strength. Yealper was exceptionally powerful, even rivaling a Tier 3 Overseer in the early stages.
But despite his power, he knew that joining Shadow n to oppose the other factions would be a suicide mission.
Grinding his teeth, Yealper hesitated for a moment, but as the countdown reached its final second, he joined The Immortals faction.
"Humph, coward."
"I thought your Shadow n was supposed to be so strong. Turns out, you don''t even have the courage to fight The Immortals."
The others mocked him mercilessly.
Yealper''s gaze turned cold, and he silently made a mental note of the individuals who had spoken so disrespectfully.
However, his subordinates could no longer hold back their anger. One of them shouted, "We''re not afraid of you! We only joined The Immortals faction to fight for the ultimate treasure!"
"Heh, still acting tough, huh? You''re just as shameless as before," the others sneered.
John stood off to the side, arms crossed, in a posture that suggested he was just watching the show.
It seemed that all the other races looked down on Shadow n.
Jolyne observed that even Shadow n had joined The Immortals faction and felt a pang of disappointment in her heart.
She, from the Feather Race, knew that the disaster her people faced was brought on by Shadow n. She had hoped to use this opportunity to kill a few of the Shadow n''s strong warriors.
[Faction Selection Completed: It has been detected that no strong warriors from the Shadow n faction have joined, automatically generating Shadow n warriors.]
The Secret Area prompt shed, and John initially thought that without a Shadow n faction, the trial would proceed immediately. But now it seemed that wasn''t the case.
Whoosh!
The surrounding Shadow Laws surged, and massive, powerful auras descended. "Golden-Patterned Hunters?" John was surprised. Arge number of Hunters with golden patterns appeared around him. They weren''t the queen insects, but they had reached the demigod realm. The majority were lower-tier gods and mid-tier gods, and some were even upper-tier gods, all with golden patterns. There were at least one hundred thousand of them. Not only that, a huge army of Shadow n puppets arrived, all of them at the upper-tier gods level, with many of them being city lord-level experts from Shadow n''s main cities. "Why do I feel like The Immortals are the weaker side?" someone said, astonished.
Others also had serious expressions, vigntly watching the Golden-Patterned Hunters army and the Shadow n puppets.
Yealper, seeing this, wore an excited expression and silently led the Shadow n warriors to retreat to the side.
Although he had joined the The Immortals faction, he had no intention of fighting the
Shadow n puppets.
Moreover, the Golden-Patterned Hunters'' brood mothers were immensely powerful, and he
didn''t feel confident enough to deal with them.
[The First Trial of the Secret Area Begins]
A prompt appeared.
Instantly, the Golden-Patterned Hunters'' brood mothers and the Shadow n puppets were activated. They roared and charged at everyone.
Burning Sky''s expression changed slightly. He immediately reminded the group, "The Overseers should deal with the Golden-Patterned Hunters, while the rest handle the Shadow
n puppets."
After speaking, he rushed straight at a Golden-Patterned Hunter.
ck mes surged around him-it was Hellfire.
However, the Hellfire that Burning Sky wielded was different from John''s Golden Lotus
Hellfire.
This ck me carried a sinister, corrupting power. Several Golden-Patterned Hunters were engulfed in the ck mes, and they instantly screamed in agony as the mes burrowed into their bodies. Within moments, they copsed to the ground, burning from the inside, their bodies charred ck and their life forces extinguished.
What a bizarre method!
John was shocked. Burning Sky''s power far surpassed what he had expected.
Fortunately, he had his Golden me Lotus, which made him immune to the effects of this
Hellfire.
The battle erupted in an instant, and the area was filled with cries of pain. Ordinary upper-tier gods couldn''t withstand the attacks of the Golden-Patterned Hunters.
These Golden-Patterned Hunters were far more powerful than ordinary Hunters.
Roar!
With an enraged roar, several Golden-Patterned Hunters locked their sights on John and his
group.
"Godyer, be careful, this one has soul-based attacks," Ice Talker warned. Around him, the power of the Ice and Wood elements surged as he charged toward one of the Golden-
Patterned Hunters.
John, curious, also joined the battle, but he didn''t actively attack. Instead, he wanted to
observe the methods of these Golden-Patterned Hunters.
One of the Golden-Patterned Hunters lunged directly at him.
Puff!
Blood sprayed as a damage number shed.
-2,200,000
1% of his health was lost, and it was apanied by 1% of soul damage.
John felt a wave of dizziness in his head. He now understood the Golden-Patterned Hunters'' attack methods. If he were surrounded by tens of thousands of these creatures, they
could easily y even a The Overseer or a Lord God-level powerhouse.
It seemed that the earlier warnings about the Hunters'' Brood Mothers weren''t exaggerated.
However, for John, these Golden-Patterned Hunters still posed no threat.
No longer testing them, he decisively struck back.
Buzz!
A massive sword intent surged, and three longswords flew out, effortlessly shredding the
Golden-Patterned Hunter.
[Golden-Patterned Hunter killed, 67.66 billion experience gained]
[Plunder Talent activated, Shadow Power +10, Physical Crit +1]
The prompt shed. Just like the Shadow n''s upper-tier gods, Golden-Patterned
Hunters could be Plundered for 10 points of Shadow Power.
His Shadow Power had already reached over 6 million points, but it was still only 1% of the
health damage, with no noticeable increase.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Roar... Roar...
More furious roars echoed as arge number of Golden-Patterned Hunters surged toward
them.
The pressure on everyone increased, and they had to fight with all their might. Particrly for Cand-Dragon and Jolyne, it was a life-threatening situation. Both were peak
upper-tier gods, but there was still a significant gap between them and The Overseer.
If even 100 Golden-Patterned Hunters struck them, they would surely perish. The Immortals faction had already suffered casualties.
John no longer held back his power. A powerful gale swept through the area, and an
overwhelming pressure enveloped the battlefield. He immediately activated Heaven and Earth Transformation, transforming into a towering giant.
The massivemotion drew more attacks from the Golden-Patterned Hunters and the
Shadow n puppets.
"Die!" he roared, fearless. Three terrifying sword beams ripped through space. With a single horizontal sweep of his longsword,rge numbers of Golden-Patterned Hunters were in. "Impressive!" Burning Sky watched the scene, his brows furrowing. It seemed that Humdwar had been right-this human''s strength was not to be underestimated based on
appearances alone.
Even so, he was not afraid in the slightest. His soul was powerful, his body was strong, and he
had no weaknesses. Killing John would be a simple task for him.
Boom! Boom!
The air was filled with a rumbling sound as the power ofws surged, and the Hunters roared incessantly. The casualties on The Immortals'' side continued to rise.
It wasn''t that these individuals weren''t a match for the Golden-Patterned Hunters. Rather,
they each had their own agenda and didn''t engage in a full-scale fight. Burning Sky and the others were intentionally holding back, allowing the Golden-Patterned Hunters to ughter more of the strong fighters in order to reduce the number of
competitors.
As a result, John and his group became the ones to kill the most Golden-Patterned Hunters.
As the battle continued, the losses on The Immortals'' side grew severe, and only the peak- level The Overseer and upper-tier gods remained. Everyone had stopped holding back and was fully engaged in battle.
John, in particr, focused on the Shadow n puppets, more than thirty of which were as
powerful as the Shadow City Lords.
He was curious to see if killing these puppets would also allow him to Plunder insights into
the Shadowws.
Whoosh!
Blood began to fill the air as the Blood Domain was activated. This was a Blood Domain cast
by the more than thirty Shadow n puppets, filled with a powerful, bloody killing aura that suppressed everyone''s strength.
However, John was not afraid in the least. With a wave of his hand, he cast his own Blood
Domain.
Boom! Boom!
The two Blood Domains collided, and the thunderous sound echoed across the battlefield.
The powerful power ofws tore apart the space, and endless spatial turbulence surged around them.
However, John''s Blood Domain was even more powerful and quickly dominated the field.
These Shadow n puppets had no emotions. Ignoring the countless skill attacks, they charged through the spatial turbulence and fearlessly rushed toward John. "Hmph, overestimating yourselves!" John sneered, his disdain evident. Three sword beams intertwined as he unleashed a frenzy of attacks.
Crack!
The Shadow n puppet in the front was instantly shredded.
[You killed a Shadow n puppet, gaining 26.766 billion experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated: Shadow Lawprehension +0.5%, Shadow Power +10, Strength
+5000, Skill Points +1000.]
The prompt shed. These powerful Shadow n puppets could indeed be Plundered for
Shadow Lawsprehension.
However,pared to the Shadow City Lords, they only yielded 0.5% of the Shadow
Lawsprehension.
John was more than satisfied with this. With a thought, he directly stored the powerful
Shadow n puppets into his World-in-Hand.
Even if they only gave 0.5% of Shadow Lawsprehension, these Shadow n
puppets would still provide a significant boost to his Shadow Power.
With the powerful Shadow n puppets gone, the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced.
They now found it much easier to ughter the ordinary Shadow n puppets. With the World-in-Hand backing him, John was even more confident, effortlessly killing thirty-two Shadow City Lord-level puppets.
He gained another 16% in Shadow Lawsprehension, bringing his total to 38.1%. His
control over the Shadow Laws became much more refined, and his strength also received a
substantial boost.
With a thought, he exited the World-in-Hand.
The remaining Golden-Patterned Hunters and Shadow n puppets were quickly dealt with, and the The Secret Area prompt appeared once again.
