Chapter 227: 10 Points of Essence
Chapter 227: 10 Points of Essence
Karl had his suspicions about a potential traitor among the Divine Envoys, as it seemed too coincidental that they encountered Fallen Angels on every outing.
But it was just a suspicion,
and he had no concrete evidence.
The possibility of humans colluding with demonic beings was incredibly low, almost negligible.
The reason for his early preparations was more out of habit, leaving himself a backup plan.
Being cautious about potential traitors was secondary.
As for Ham...
Of course, Karl had already verified that he was trustworthy, which was why he entrusted control of the formation to him.
The simplified Twelve Star Gate was also a formation, and it required a master controller.
Karl needed to engage the Fallen Angel, drawing it closer, so he couldn't be the master controller.
"I never thought it would be you, besides Sam!"
Karl turned to Yun San, shaking his head slightly.
"If you surrender now, I can hand you over to Yun Lou Phantom City for punishment."
This wasn't out of kindness, but because having one less person controlling the formation would create a weakness, potentially allowing the Fallen Angel to escape.
It was better to keep him here.
"Heh..."
Yun San merely smiled faintly in response to the angry glares from Karl and the other Divine Envoys, and muttered:
"The gods fall to the earth, and divine flames descend upon the world..."
Hmm? Karl's expression darkened, and he quickly turned the pillar in his hand, sending Yun San directly in front of the Fallen Angel.
A heretic!
Such people couldn't be reasoned with.
"Attack!"
"Buzz..."
The light emanating from the Twelve Star Palace below suddenly intensified, causing even the struggling Fallen Angel to stiffen.
Its attempt to escape into the void was forcibly pulled back.
'As one's power increases and their rank rises, the once ethereal and intangible space takes on a physical form. The Twelve Star Palace formation flattens space, essentially placing multi-dimensional spaces on the same plane.'
'The method of dodging attacks by entering other spaces is no longer viable.'
Karl's eyes flickered, and within his sea of consciousness, a spell circuit lit up brightly, summoning the Six-Star Soul Annihilation Spell.
"Screech!"
Six Death Wraiths screeched in unison, their combined sound waves tearing through the Fallen Angel's flesh.
As their numbers increased, so did the power of the Death Wraiths.
Especially after the Curse Killing Spell reached perfection, it could unite the power of the six Death Wraiths.
The attack,
surpassed the defensive limits of the Fallen Angel.
However, the Death Wraiths were ultimately Nightmare-Level demonic beings, incapable of dealing a fatal blow to the Fallen Angel.
So...
Ten Thousand Buddha Hands! Karl roared internally, and battle qi surged from within him.
This time, he held nothing back, and the Life Water from the Second Circle Witchcraft continuously infused him with life force.
His battle qi skyrocketed.
A colossal Buddha illusion appeared behind him.
With the Buddha's hands forming seals, one after another mysterious hand seal appeared, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.
Thousand Hands Realm!
Benefitting from the increase in mental energy and martial dao will, Karl had already reached the threshold of the Thousand Hands Realm.
However, at his current level, he could only achieve the full power of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hands in the Thousand Hands Realm by accumulating power and remaining immobile.
To casually unleash the power of the Thousand Hands Realm was still beyond his capabilities.
But now, he could!
At the Thousand Hands Realm, the Ten Thousand Buddha Hands could boost his burst damage to sixteen times that of a normal full-power attack.
In terms of lethality...
Late Second Circle!
Despite his power being limited to the early Second Circle, this strike possessed the might of the late Second Circle.
However, ever since the Thousand Buddha Hands evolved into the Ten Thousand Buddha Hands, the Thousand Hands Realm was no longer the limit of this holy technique.
The true pinnacle was the Ten Thousand Hands Realm, with a burst damage of thirty-two times.
"Die!"
Terrifying thunderous light descended from above, instantly blinding those in the arena and causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
So powerful!
The Divine Envoys' faces were filled with fervor.
They had never witnessed such might from any other Divine Envoy, nor had they even heard of it.
"Boom!"
Infinite thunderous light rained down, rapidly eroding the Fallen Angel's shell.
A breakthrough!
Karl's eyes lit up.
Since they could kill it, there was no need to rush the expulsion. After all, slaying a Fallen Angel should also yield essence.
An angel,
A divine being's minion.
Moreover, judging by the number of wings, a Battle Angel with three pairs of wings should be considered a higher-ranked minion.
The thunderous strike, aided by the six-headed Death Wraith, causes the Fallen Angel's flesh and bones to gradually disintegrate.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."
Even its skull melts away like foam before a sandblaster, rapidly dissipating.
Sam and Yun San, only slightly affected, scream in agony. In the blink of an eye, their bodies are riddled with a thousand wounds.
"Die!"
"Die!"
Sam roars skyward, and his broken body erupts with a bloody glow. A snake head bursts forth from his chest.
Hmm?
Karl's eyes flicker, sensing danger.
Sam's strength is not something Karl is concerned about, even if he has mutated, he is still no match.
But this snake head...
Instinctively, it inspires fear in Karl.
Even the Divine Realm fragment deep within her Mental Sea reacts, sending a warning.
What is this?
"Crackle!"
The snake head opens its mouth wide and lunges towards Yun San, who vanishes without a trace.
It lunges again, and the Fallen Angel's lower body also disappears.
What is this?
Sam seems to have used some sort of blood sacrifice to summon something not bound by the rules of this world.
But...
How could he, just an ordinary Divine Envoy, achieve this?
Karl is startled, and subconsciously takes a step back. At this moment, the snake head pounces on the other Divine Envoys.
The formation of the Twelve Star Palace is equally ineffective against it.
One of the Divine Envoys is swallowed whole, without any resistance.
"What is that?"
Ham roars:
"Wood Nine Phantom City!"
Hmm?
Karl's eyes narrow.
Through the snake's gaping mouth, he can vaguely see a scene, seemingly a broken Phantom City.
He has never been to Wood Nine Phantom City, but Ham has.
So...
Is it the existence of Wood Nine Phantom City controlling this giant snake?
But isn't Wood Nine Phantom City, with its population of ten thousand, a bustling place? How has it become a desolate, uninhabited ruin?}
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, Karl's spirit trembles.
Essence +10!
But there's no time to celebrate; he collects the Twelve Star Palace and transforms into thunder, dashing towards the rear.
"Run!"
The others scatter, and various screams echo.
Karl glances back, his eyes narrowing.
The void...
Has collapsed!
The snake's lower body leads to an unknown destination, its mouth wide open, sucking in everything around it.
The gaping snake mouth resembles a black hole.
The more it devours, the larger the black hole grows, even space itself seems to collapse towards it.
Through the snake head, Karl can see Wood Nine Phantom City and other places, with similar entities.
The entire Wood Nine Phantom City has collapsed, engulfed by the endless void, and the collapse area continues to expand.
Karl's body freezes.
He looks at the enlarged snake head, then up at the Blood Moon hanging high in the sky, and shakes his head helplessly.
This world...
Is doomed!
The giant snake clearly possesses qualities beyond the fourth rank, possibly even on par with the Moon Goddess.
A sixth-rank upper-tier deity?
Or a seventh-rank Great Deity?
Regardless, the barrier left by the Moon Goddess has encountered a problem.
"Forget it!"
Karl takes a step, and his figure vanishes, reappearing in the Magic Forest.
"It seems the Crumbling Divine Realm is off-limits."
"No!"
Karl shakes his head lightly, expressing regret:
"I'm afraid the entire alternate world is now inaccessible."
His greatest advantage was his ability to acquire resources from alternate worlds, propelling his cultivation.
Now,
This trump card might be unusable.
"Never mind!"
"I'm already a Second Rank Holy Knight, with a lifespan of five hundred. I'm about to break through the First Circle of Witchcraft, and in the future, I might become a Third Circle Wizard, living for a thousand years. What more could I ask for?"
Shaking his head, Karl looks at his data panel, and with a thought, the essence instantly transforms into mental energy.
Mental Energy: 18.3
18.4
18.5
...
20!
"Boom!"
Karl grunts, his head tilting back as the raging mental energy transforms into a sharp spike, piercing his skull.
The Source Sea Meditation Method operates at an unprecedented speed.
Until...
Second Circle!
Second Circle Wizard!
