Chapter 180: Trapped in The Land of Nothingness, Bountiful Rewards
When Johnnie fought opponents far stronger than himself, this special effect had never been triggered.But when facing a god-level powerhouse, the chance of it activating was probably less than one in a billion.Yet, to his surprise, at the critical moment, the Instant Kill effect was actually triggered and instantly killed Pluto.This definitely had something to do with the Lucky Master profession bonus.At this moment, not only Johnnie, but the others were also all stunned.Maiev was even frozen in her attack pose, completely dumbstruck."He... he’s dead?" Her voice was full of shock and disbelief.That was a being of immense vitality, with tens of billions of Health Points, and unimaginable defensive abilities. Even they couldn’t kill him so easily.And yet, Johnnie had actually killed him."It must have been the Instant Kill rule." Black Tortoise swallowed hard, his face just as shocked.He transformed into human form, looking rather battered, with a vicious wound across his chest, though such an injury was nothing major for a god-level being.Buzz!At that moment, powerful Soul Power surged.Above Pluto’s corpse, a spirit took shape—Pluto’s Divine Soul."Johnnie, well done. I never thought that only if an adventurer killed a god would the suppressing force over the Universe Continent be lifted. My sacrifice was totally worth it. In ten days, the real crisis for the Universe Continent will begin!" Pluto’s cold voice echoed, full of murderous intent.Johnnie frowned deeply, only now recalling the system announcement from earlier.In ten days, the suppressive power over Universe Continent would disappear. No doubt, many god-level powerhouses would descend. The entire continent would be thrown into chaos."When I return, it will be your day of reckoning!" Pluto’s icy voice rang out again, as his Divine Soul fled deeper into The Land of Nothingness.Azure Dragon and the others just watched coldly, making no move to intervene.It wasn’t that they didn’t want to stop him; they simply couldn’t. Only a rare few gods possessed the power to completely erase a Divine Soul.Clearly, Azure Dragon and his companions didn’t have that ability."Hmph, Pluto, you’re not getting away today." At this moment, the Doe Family Ancestor spoke coldly.He opened his palm, and a kettle-shaped treasure flew out, rapidly enlarging and enveloping Pluto’s Divine Soul."The Demon-Refining Pot!" Azure Dragon recognized the treasure and gasped.The Demon-Refining Pot was also one of the ten ancient supreme artifacts. Its powers were on par with the Celestial Mirror—it could refine all things, and could also refine Divine Souls.At this moment, Pluto’s Divine Soul was trapped by the Demon-Refining Pot. Sensing the danger, Pluto cried out in panic, "Doe Family, how dare you! Don’t forget what you’ve done. Without my protection, you’re all doomed!""Hmph!" Douglas snorted, looking totally scornful. "The Doe Family needs no protection from you. Once I refine and absorb your Divine Soul, I’ll ascend as the new Pluto, and become a true god!""So this is what you were planning all along, huh? Ha! Too bad—you’re destined to be disappointed..." Pluto knew he would fall today, but he still had a trick up his sleeve. There was no way the Pluto legacy would fall into the hands of adventurers.Douglas frowned, not understanding Pluto’s final words, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Go!"At this moment, Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise attacked Douglas at the same time.
The Demon-Refining Pot could refine Divine Souls. This ability was way too terrifying.There was absolutely no way they could let it fall into the Doe Family’s hands, or they’d all be in danger.
Douglas didn’t show a hint of fear.The Celestial Mirror appeared in his hand. Space rippled around him.In an instant, his figure appeared a hundred meters away, making Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise’s attacks miss completely.
"Seal the space!"Black Tortoise instantly gathered divine power.He locked down the space, restricting the Celestial Mirror’s teleportation.
But Douglas stayed calm, not the least bit rattled.He turned to Dorian and said coldly, "Dorian, the sacrifice."
"Understood!"Dorian’s face was icy cold.A flash of chilling light came from the blue sword in his hand.He suddenly slashed at the group of Doe Family disciples behind him
Splat!Blood splattered everywhere.A Doe Family disciple’s eyes went wide with terror and confusion.He stared at Dorian and asked desperately, "Sir Dorian, w-why?"
He died never understanding why Dorian would attack his own people.Dorian didn’t answer.His gaze was frigid and emotionless. He mercilessly slaughtered the Doe Family disciples.
These noble children hadn’t connected through a login crystal.Their real bodies had descended onto the Universe Continent.Their deaths were real—utterly permanent.
The blue sword was soaked in blood.A crimson glow surged from it, radiating terrifying power.Even the surrounding space trembled.
