Chapter 255: Silver Body
Chapter 255: Silver Body
In the void, a thin veil hovered, seemingly painted with ink, constantly transforming.
Upon closer inspection, the scene revealed three intertwining figures locked in a fierce battle, while the swirling veil was clearly a restrictive barrier.
Karl, under attack from two opponents, struggled to return to the Divine Realm fragment and lacked the opportunity to break free from the barrier. His only option was to launch a fierce counterattack to avoid attracting more powerful opponents.
"Huff..."
Breathing heavily, Karl lifted his hands, catching the two incoming golden hammers with his palms.
The hammers, crafted from an unknown material, were incredibly hard and imbued with a terrifyingly fierce power.
Karl had no doubt that if these hammers struck a mountain, they would likely pierce through it from both sides.
Even with his current physical attributes and regenerative abilities, enduring several blows from these hammers would leave him a bloody mess.
But the onslaught didn't end there.
Kidi, the longbow wielder, possessed the eyes of a divine archer, capable of precise shots from over ten miles away.
Karl had no choice but to exert himself to the fullest, employing his agility to narrowly dodge the arrows.
Divine spells of the deities' followers did not require cultivation; they were directly derived from the deities themselves. As followers, they only needed to provide energy.
Therefore, regardless of the spell, the deity's followers were proficient from the start. However, due to the lack of cultivation, their bodies, as energy providers, were inevitably stiff, making it impossible to dodge attacks otherwise.
"Shua!"
Avoiding the incoming arrow, Karl's eyes narrowed, and his body erupted with true energy, bracing for the hammer's impact.
"Peng!"
Karl's body staggered, and Esther, with her carp-like head, was momentarily stunned.
"Tss..."
An arrow took advantage of the opening, piercing Karl's neck like a vicious venomous snake.
The hunting god's archery never missed an opportunity.
And moreover...
Poison!
A bizarre toxin affected the life water's healing and the power of the abyssal squid's bloodline.
In addition to the poison, the arrow also carried a deadly curse! Fortunately, Karl was protected by the Thunder God's Wrath, rendering instant death spells ineffective against him up to the third rank.
Enduring the combined assault, he finally caught a brief moment to breathe.
Twelve Star Palace!
"Vrrr..."
The void trembled.
On the ink painting, twelve pillars silently emerged, trapping a figure within a dark enclosure.
"Kidi!"
Esther's expression changed:
"Don't worry." Although Kidi was trapped in the Twelve Star Palace, he instantly realized that this artifact had not yet unleashed its true power.
"Give me thirty breaths."
"Okay."
Esther exhaled, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, his body radiating golden light as he tightly gripped the hammers.
The two's breaths were not like those of ordinary people; they were much faster and would pass by quickly.
"Dang..."
The hammers collided, causing the void to tremble.
Karl shook his head, unhurried to strike. Instead, he took a few breaths to adjust his breathing.
Eight breaths!
Six Star Soul Reaver Spell!
His eyes gleamed as six souls roared out, their mouths sharp and shrill, charging towards Esther.
Ten breaths!
Karl's body flickered, appearing before Esther. With his hands sealed, countless lightning bolts rained down.
Ten Thousand Buddha Hands - Thunder Seal.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Hands of the Thousand Hands Realm unleashed their full power, and the battle energy within him surged, engulfing Esther in lightning.
Fifteen breaths!
Cold-Hot Variations!
Within a few hundred square feet, thirty extreme cold and hot alternations occurred every second, causing Esther's face to pale.
Twenty breaths!
A wizard tower appeared in the arena.
At the top of the tower, an eye slowly opened, observing the figure below.
Third Rank - Demon Eye.
Pseudo Third Rank - Fear Aura!
...
A smooth combination of moves instantly suppressed the opponent, and Karl seized the opportunity to lunge forward, gripping the opponent's arms tightly.
"Crack..."
With immense strength, Karl twisted and broke Esther's arm bones, followed by a powerful headbutt.
"Boom!"
Twenty-five breaths.
Esther's head caved in, his body leaning back, and blood gushed from his seven orifices as his eyes filled with confusion.
"Die!"
Seizing the moment of his bewilderment, the Wizard Tower's additional witchcraft, soul secrets, and Ten Thousand Buddha Hands all struck at once.
"Boom!"
Even with Esther's dragon bloodline and being a Middle Rank Devotee in the High Stage Second Rank, he was blasted into countless fragments.
Essence +7
Karl's eyes flickered, directly transforming the essence into physique.
Physique 39.4 - 40.1
High Stage Second Rank!
Although the increase in physique was not significant, it seemed to break some kind of limit, and his dormant bloodline became active again.
The Holy Demonic Transformation's fifth level, which had long stagnated, suddenly advanced, directly crossing that threshold.
Holy Demonic Transformation—Sixth Level!
Silver Body!
A silver body comparable to a Third Rank.
6◇9◇Book◇
"Shhhlala..."
Karl stood still, but he could feel his body undergoing drastic changes from the inside out.
His blood was like liquid silver, his flesh like precious metal, his hair sharper than blades... With each breath, he could exhale mist.
No wonder!
No wonder the silver body could rival a Third Rank.
Aside from not gaining extended longevity, the silver body possessed the essence of a forbidden knight.
Karl clenched his fist.
Although the world's restrictions remained, he could feel that the power he could unleash had grown stronger.
It was a power that delved deep into the essence of matter.
Law Power!
Only Third Rank powerhouses could control Law Power, and now, at the High Stage Second Rank, he had grasped it preliminarily.
"Swoosh!"
In the distance, a flash of light appeared, and Kaidi, with a somber expression, finally broke through the Twelve Star Palace and entered the arena.
"Thirty breaths?"
Karl looked at Kaidi and shook his head with a light smile:
"It seems it's not just thirty breaths. Fortunately, I killed him before the thirty breaths were up, or else waiting for help beyond that time would have been nerve-wracking."
"You actually killed Esther." Kaidi's eyes narrowed, and he silently retreated, bow in hand:
"The Black Dragon won't let you off!"
"Oh?" Karl raised an eyebrow:
"Is he related to the Black Dragon?"
"No." Kaidi shook his head:
"He is..."
Karl was taken aback and asked subconsciously:
"Is the Black Dragon male or female?"
No wonder he asked that; according to his knowledge, the Black Dragon was male, and Esther was also a male carp.
He wouldn't mistake that.
"Ignorant!"
Kaidi shook his head:
"Their dragon nature is like that."
As a devotee of the Hunt God, he was well-versed in the instincts of various beasts and was used to such relationships.
"..." For a moment, Karl forgot to make his move and curiously asked, "Are the deities in your world also in such a mess?"
"Messy?" Kaidi frowned:
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Hehe..." Karl chuckled:
"You're not in a hurry to attack, and you're not setting up a barrier. It seems you're still waiting for help to deal with me."
"Too bad!"
"It's not a big deal." Kaidi coldly smiled:
"The Black Dragon is on his way, and in ten breaths, he'll appear before you."
"Ten breaths?" Karl understood:
"Your thirty breaths are indeed much shorter."
"Not bad." Kaidi continued:
"So even if you killed Esther, you won't escape this calamity today. You're as good as dead..."
"Pfft!"
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes widened in disbelief as Karl appeared abruptly before him.
Then, slowly, he looked down at his own chest.
There, nestled within, was his Beast Heart, a 'treasure' bestowed by a deity.
Now, a palm abruptly reached into his chest, extracting the blood-stained, scorching heart and crushing it in his grip.
