Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 156: Refining the Jade Heart Lotus, Enhancement of Plunder Talent



"Amazing!" John exclaimed in his heart as he witnessed the scene before him. Isn't this the legendary art of bringing the dead back to life and restoring the flesh to bones?

"Tch!" A disdainful voice came from behind him. It was the Undead Lord. "What's so special about this? I can do it too. Kid, with my Undying and Immortal talent, you'll be able to do this later on as well."

"Really?" John became intrigued. The Undying and Immortal talent was indeed powerful. As long as his soul remained intact, he would essentially be immortal.

At this moment, the branch-like arm completely fused into Behemoth's body.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Behemoth flexed his arm, clenched his fist, moving it freely and easily. His face was filled with excitement.

"Thank you, my lord!" he expressed his gratitude again.

This arm, shaped from the branches of The Tree of Life and activated by the Vein of the Earth, was far stronger than his previous arm.

He even considered asking Tony to sever his other arm so he could have it reforged as well...

But that was just a fleeting thought. The Tree of Life was far too precious, and even if Tony agreed, John would never allow it.

After completing this, Tony turned to John and asked, "Kid, anything else? If not, we should return to the Abyss."

His Dark Element Affinity had already reached 99 points, and he felt as if he could break through at any moment, reaching 100 points and comprehending the power of the dark laws.

"No rush. I want to establish two more factions," John replied.

Gates City had also triggered a faction mission. Once it was upgraded to a level-five city, he would be able to establish a faction.

Moreover, he had promised to help Bonnie and Black Turtle establish their own factions.

For Bonnie's elves, he planned to establish their faction in Ritchie's Flame City, which could also help defend against the demon race invasion.

As for the Beast Clan faction, Black Turtle had chosen the previous Beast Clan Secret Area, but a city needed to be built first, so that matter wasn't urgent.

"Alright. I have some personal matters to attend to as well," Tony nodded, his gaze turning hostile as he looked at Black Turtle.

Black Turtle's heart skipped a beat. He knew this was inevitable. A fawning smile spread across his face, but before he could speak, a hand had already struck down.

"Ouch!" Black Turtle howled in pain, flying backward.

"You damn turtle! I entrusted the Beast Clan to you, and this is how you protect it? The Jade Heart Lotus went missing, the Beast Clan Secret Area was destroyed... Let me beat some sense into you!" Tony cursed, showing no mercy with his blows.

"Grandpa Tony, I know I was wrong!" Black Turtle quickly transformed into his original form, screaming in agony.

Everyone watched this scene with great interest.

Jade Heart Lotus?

John suddenly remembered the items that the woman in green had handed to him, one of which was a blue-green jade lotus that he hadn't had the chance to inspect yet.

His heart stirred, and he took out those items.

Sure enough, it was the Jade Heart Lotus.

[Jade Heart Lotus: A treasure of the Beast Clan, containing powerful spiritual properties. Can be refined.]

There was only a simple description, without revealing much information.

After refining it, the Fox Demon Curse could be completely lifted.

John wasn't in a hurry to refine it, though. He turned his attention to the other four items.

"Divine treasures of the gods!" he gasped, realizing that this was a complete set of divine artifacts.

[Divine Core, Divine Rune, Divine Weapon, Divine Soul: Treasures of the gods. Once cultivation reaches the 10th tier and all four items are fused, you can ascend to godhood. Requires Divinity to fuse. Currently ready for fusion.]

John couldn't help but swallow hard as he read the information about the four items.

He had already plundered Divinity from the Two-Winged Angel and had accumulated 11 points, meaning he could fuse these divine treasures.

Once fused, as long as his level reached the 10th tier, he would be able to become a god. However, he didn't proceed with the fusion.

Fusing these items would allow other gods to sense him, and that was too dangerous.

Besides, the woman in green had warned him not to refine these items just yet but instead to search for the Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Immortal Sword, and Spirit Sense.

John had never heard of these things before, but he suspected they were also priceless treasures, and that refining them would grant godlike power.

Currently, he already had three sets of treasures: one from the gods, one from the demon race, and one from the Beast Clan.

He could refine any of these to increase his level to the 10th tier, reaching a power equivalent to that of the gods.

However, he was far more curious about the Immortal Bone, Immortal Body, Immortal Sword, and Spirit Sense, wondering what kind of power they might offer.

He had already asked Tony and Ben about them, but they claimed to know nothing.

John was certain those two knew more than they were letting on but simply didn't want to tell

him.

He had a strong feeling that the woman in green was an existence far more terrifying than even the gods.

As for who or what she really was, he would have to find that answer himself.

John decided not to dwell on the issue for now. Instead, he looked at the Jade Heart Lotus in his hand and began refining it.

Buzz...

A flash of blue-green light shimmered, and the Jade Heart Lotus instantly merged into his body, appearing within his mind.

[Ding! Successfully refined the Jade Heart Lotus. Mental attribute +10,000, Soul Technique

+1,000.]

[Fox Demon Curse lifted.]

The notification flashed, and John suddenly felt a wave of clarity in his mind. The Fox Demon Curse had finally been lifted.

Not only that, but his mental attributes had increased by 10,000, and his Soul Technique by

1,000 points.

"So powerful!" John marveled, feeling the Jade Heart Lotus nourishing his very soul.

This treasure was far stronger than any divine artifact.

"Sini, it's time to level you up," John said, turning toward Sini.

He still needed two more level-five Altar Upgrade Stones and two level-four Altar Upgrade Stones, so he decided to continue destroying the cities of the Dark Humans.

Sini also needed to enter the Abyss, and although Tony and Ben would be there to protect her, increasing her level would ensure even greater safety.

Ritchie and Armstrong were also going to accompany him, but with too many pressing matters in both the Saint Martial Sect and Flame City, they had no choice but to return to their

respective cities.

John and Sini rode Avis together, searching for level-four and level-five cities of the Dark

Humans.

In the level-four and level-five cities, the soldiers of the Dark Humans were at the fifth and sixth tiers of cultivation, respectively.

With his current strength, dealing with these foes was a breeze.

Only the level-five cities had seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angels stationed as

guards, which posed a bit more of a challenge.

But just a bit.

Before long, John located two level-four Dark Human cities. By himself, he effortlessly

slaughtered the inhabitants and razed the cities, obtaining two Altar Upgrade Stones in the

process.

Next was a level-five city, but it wasn't any harder for him.

In the vast mountain forests, a sprawling and majestic city appeared.

This was Fire Dragon City, a level-five Dark Human stronghold. It was named after the

powerful sixth-tier Flame Dragons that populated the area.

John hovered above Fire Dragon City. Not wasting any time, he cast a high-level spell, Hellfire, triggering a Spell Combo, turning the entire city into a sea of flames.

Screams of agony and terror echoed throughout the city.

The Dark Humans didn't even have time to react before more than half of them were dead or

severely wounded.

"Human! You seek death!" a furious shout erupted as three figures flew out from the city.

The city lord of Fire Dragon City, along with two Two-Winged Angels from the Angel Race.

"Godslayer!" The Two-Winged Angels recognized John at a glance. They exchanged horrified looks and, without hesitation, turned to flee.

"Master, those are seventh-tier Two-Winged Angels! Why are they running away from you?" Avis was stunned, unable to process the situation.

John was a bit speechless as well. It seemed his reputation had already spread throughout the

Angel Race.

"Stop staring and go after them!" John snapped, launching into action. He unleashed Blazing Radiance and Unrivaled Sword Dance, easily slaying the city lord of Fire Dragon City. Then he urged Avis to chase down the fleeing Two-Winged Angels.

The city lord, though seventh-tier, was only of epic rank and posed no real threat.

John's Wrath of the Gods talent was just two legendary seventh-tier kills away from leveling

up again. And these Two-Winged Angels were exactly what he needed.

However, Avis's flight speed was too slow to catch up to them.

John switched to Sword Flight mode, and his Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword shot out, splitting into three blades that quickly pursued the fleeing angels, engaging in a vicious

attack. Slash!

Blood sprayed, and the numbers for true damage flashed across the air.

-27,460

-27,551

...

John's current stats still couldn't break through the physical resistance of legendary seventh-

tier beings with normal attacks.

But his greatest strength now wasn't his physical prowess-it was his dark magic.

Buzz!

A powerful dark energy engulfed the area, and John cast Dark Descent, covering a radius of

several dozen miles.

The two Two-Winged Angels were caught within the field, their attributes weakened by 12%.

"Human, get out of our way!" The two angels, realizing they couldn't escape, roared furiously, gripping their light swords as they gritted their teeth and charged at John. John sneered in disdain, casting Annihilation and Dark Storm simultaneously. The combo triggered a Spell Combo, unleashing a terrifying force of dark magic that devoured the two

angels.

-1,296,090

-150,140

-1,124,100

...

Massive damage numbers, exceeding a million, flashed before him.

With magical critical hits combined with the true damage of dark magic, the Two-Winged Angels, despite their nearly 9 million health, saw it halved in an instant.

Terror struck their hearts. They exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, fled in opposite

directions.

They had entered the World of Gods using special methods. Dying here wouldn't mean true death, but it would cause them to lose levels-a devastating consequence for seventh-tier beings, as leveling up after that point was exceedingly difficult. This was something they

could not afford.

"You can't escape," John scoffed, unleashing Unrivaled Sword Dance, Infinite Sword Array, and Flying Sword Strike all at once, targeting one of the fleeing angels. Blood splattered, and pristine white feathers fluttered to the ground. While she wasn't

instantly killed, she was gravely wounded and fell to the earth.

John paid her no mind, switching to Sword Flight and quickly pursuing the other Two-Winged

Angel. With his dark spells off cooldown, he raised his hand and sent two more waves of dark magic crashing down.

"No...!" she let out a desperate scream, but it was in vain. She was instantly obliterated.

[You have slain a seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel, gaining 1.6 million experience

points.]

[Plunder talent triggered: Divinity +1, Luck +1.]

The notification flashed as John gained another point in Divinity and Luck.

The Two-Winged Angel's body dissolved into a white light, disappearing without leaving any

loot behind. Unbothered by the lack of drops, John turned back to finish off the other Two-Winged Angel. With a casual wave of his hand, two more dark magic spells howled through the air. The wounded Two-Winged Angel, terrified, roared in fury, "Human, your doom is near!

You'll regret this-"

Boom!

Her words were cut short as she disintegrated into a flash of white light and vanished.

[You have slain a seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel, gaining 1.6 million experience

points.]

[Plunder talent activated: Divinity +1, Mental attribute +200.]

[You have successfully killed 70 legendary bosses above the seventh tier. Wrath of the Gods

talent upgraded: Skill costs reduced by 70%.]

[Next upgrade requirement: Kill 80 legendary bosses above the eighth tier.]
