Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Late Stage One Star - The Overseer, Snow Mountain, and Mines



The bombardment of Star Dust continued for over ten minutes before The Absolute finally put away the Spirit Stone, halting the formation's attack.

After more than two hours of relentless shelling, the human was undoubtedly dead.

Now, all he hoped for was that Ice Talker was still alive.

Ice Talker was no ordinary being; he was a descendant of the Nature God. If he perished here, there would be no way to report it to the Nature God.

"Search for the human's corpse and the Heart of the Continent," The Absolute commanded. He led a group of powerful individuals to collect ores and search for the Heart of the Continent.

The entire mountain peak was reverberating with energy, a result of the Star Dust explosions.

However, this level of damage was no longer enough to threaten the peak power of upper-tier gods.

The group rushed forward, eagerly scavenging the scattered Spirit Stones.

Most of these Spirit Stones would need to be handed over, but the Shadow Clan's casual reward of a few stones was enough to send them into a frenzy.

Before long, they had collected most of the ore, yet they found no trace of John or the others' bodies.

"My lord, we didn't find the human," a black-robed man approached, speaking respectfully. "What?" The Absolute frowned. "What about the others?"

"None of them," the black-robed man shook his head.

"Impossible. Under The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, even if they hide in World- in-Hand, they would be dead for sure. Search again, thoroughly." He was certain that John couldn't have survived the attack from The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, and even Ice Talker would likely have little hope of making it out alive.

However, he didn't want Ice Talker to be in danger.

The group continued their search, digging through the earth, but still, no sign of John and the others was found.

"The Immortals! Does this human know formations?" The Absolute's expression grew serious. He was convinced the human was still here.

If these people had managed to escape the reach of the formation, they would surely come for him.

But where could they be hiding?

"Everyone, fall back!" he ordered coldly, then took out a Spirit Stone and activated The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star again.

This time, however, it was a trapping formation, not a killing formation.

He was certain that John and the others hadn't escaped. They must be hiding somewhere, having avoided the deadly assault of The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.

Once they showed themselves, they would be doomed!

...

Inside World-in-Hand, John had been in seclusion, cultivating.

The barrier set up by Ice Talker prevented anyone from disturbing him.

He sat cross-legged, with the power of the laws surging around him. This was the unique law of World-in-Hand.

After seven days, John slowly opened his eyes, and two sharp beams of light shot out from his pupils.

His cultivation level had unexpectedly broken through directly to the late stage of One Star, The Overseer, with his strength receiving a significant boost once again.

"So this is the feeling of merging with World-in-Hand?" He felt both surprised and delighted in his heart. With a casual wave of his hand, the power of the laws surged.

It felt as though his entire body was an independent world. If Ice Talker were to lock him into her World-in-Hand again, John could easily escape.

Of course, this was assuming she didn't interfere.

Currently, his strength was still far from being a match for Ice Talker.

"I'll go out and have a look." John noticed that the few women under the Tree of Life, along with the others, were comprehending The Immortals' legacy and cultivating. He didn't disturb them. With a thought, he left World-in-Hand.

A chill swept over him, and he couldn't help but shiver. His curiosity toward the snow mountain grew even stronger.

The snow mountain had already been destroyed, yet his World-in-Hand remained intact. No matter how many years had passed, it was still as solid as ever.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the distance, followed by a fierce wind and flashes of blade light.

"Hmm? Such powerful sword intent!" John was shocked. The attacks from the blade lights weren't particularly strong, but the mastery over the sword techniques was as proficient as his own swordsmanship.

He couldn't help but feel intrigued and hurried outside to investigate.

Amidst the swirling snow, two elders were engaged in an intense battle.

It was Chris and Tony sparring.

At this moment, Chris was only at the ninth rank, but facing Tony, a demigod, he held his ground and didn't fall behind in the short term.

The inheritance of the snow mountain!

John was delighted. Chris must have received the inheritance from the snow mountain, which explained why he had become so strong.

"Eh? Little brother, you woke up so soon?" Ice Talker exclaimed in shock upon seeing John. "You... you actually reached the late stage of One Star, The Overseer! What kind of monster are

you?"

John, feeling confused, asked, "Is it really that fast?"

He didn't feel that breaking through to the late stage of One Star, The Overseer, was particularly difficult. It had felt almost like a natural progression.

"Fast?" Ice Talker replied helplessly. "It's not just fast, it's terrifying."

She felt a sense of unfairness in her heart. With the Nature God's help, the accumulation of vast resources, and thousands of years of effort, she had only managed to reach the late stage of Two Star, The Overseer.

Yet John, with no resources or external help, had so easily merged with World-in-Hand and reached the late stage of One Star.

Her brows furrowed as she reminded him, "Little brother, your talent is too astonishing. If the Lord Gods find out, they will do everything in their power to eliminate you. You'd better hide your cultivation level."

John nodded, not taking it too seriously. Even if he didn't reveal his cultivation level, the Lord Gods would never leave him alone.

At the very least, the ShadowLord God of Shadow Star had already marked him for death. They were in a situation where only one could survive.

He looked at Ice Talker and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you helping me?"

He could feel that Ice Talker harbored no animosity towards him.

Ice Talker gazed at him deeply, her expression growing much more serious as she spoke. "It's

not the time to tell you that. Just know that our goals are aligned."

"To destroy Shadow Clan?" John asked, confused. Did Nature Clan and Shadow Clan have a grudge with each other?

It didn't seem like Shadow Clan had ever betrayed or allied against Nature Clan. Ice Talker shot him a sharp look before replying, "I was wrong. Our goals are not aligned."

John wanted to ask more, but by this time, the battle between the two had already concluded. Chris, despite being at the ninth rank, lacked the spiritual power to keep up and ultimately

lost.

Moreover, Tony hadn't used his full strength. If he had activated his Immortal Art, specifically the Immortal Golden Body, he would have easily defeated Chris.

"Senior, congratulations on your new discovery," John quickly stepped forward to

congratulate him.

"John, you've finally made it here. I wouldn't have had this fortuitous encounter if not for you," Chris said, a wide smile on his face.

He had once thought his life would be nothing more than ordinary, but following John,

joining The Immortals, and becoming part of the legendary immortals had changed

everything for him.

Now, he had even received the inheritance from an Immortal ancestor. His future achievements would be far greater than this.

He continued, "I've received the snow mountain inheritance and feel like I've gained new insights. I wish to go into seclusion and further comprehend The Immortals' legacy." "Alright, I'll send you there," John said, his mind shifting as he placed Chris into World-in-

Hand.

Sini and Tracy had both been worried about him, so it was a good opportunity to reunite

them. "Little brother, you have the inheritance of The Immortals in your hands?" Ice Talker asked, surprised. She quickly added, "Would you let me comprehend it as well?"

"Sure, but it'll be an exchange of favors," John said. He didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

"Tch, never mind then," Ice Talker said, clearly disappointed, and decisively dropped the

matter.

"Godslayer," a voice suddenly called out from the side. It was the Emperor of the Underworld. "I'm willing to offer ten low-level spiritual power pills in exchange for the opportunity to experience the legacy of The Immortals."

"Spiritual power pills? What's that?" John asked, puzzled.

"Restorative pills for spiritual power," the Emperor of the Underworld replied, taking out a

porcelain bottle and tossing it to John.

John quickly caught it and inspected it with curiosity.

[Low-level Spiritual Power Pill: Restores 100 points of spiritual power per second for 100

seconds.]

John was pleasantly surprised. It was indeed a pill that restored spiritual power.

Although he had the Wrath of the Gods talent, which reduced 99% of spiritual power consumption, his consumption still remained quite high when using the Heaven and Earth Transformation state.

With this item, it would be enough to completely offset the consumption of Heaven and Earth

Transformation, allowing for continuous combat.

John looked at the Emperor of the Underworld, curious, and asked, "How many of these do you have? A few thousand, or even some mid-level or high-level spiritual power pills would

work." "A few thousand?" The Emperor of the Underworld's eyes widened, his face turning red with

anger. "Kid, do you think these are cabbages? One low-level spiritual power pill is worth a thousand Spirit Stones, and only an Alchemist can refine them. They're incredibly rare. Don't even think about mid-level or high-level spiritual power pills."

"Stingy." John couldn't help but complain. Seeing the Emperor of the Underworld about to explode, he quickly added, "Fine, fine. I'll accept."

"Hmph!" The Emperor snorted, then took out nine more porcelain bottles, tossing them to

John.

John eagerly caught them, and his thoughts turned to Tracy, who was an Alchemist in The Immortals. He wondered if she could refine spiritual power pills.

If so, he would have an endless supply.

He looked at Ice Talker and asked, "When do you plan on comprehending the legacy of The

Immortals?"

Ice Talker replied, "No rush. First, let me help you refine the snow mountain world and solve

the current crisis."

The snow mountain world here could block the attacks of The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star. Perhaps, once John refined it, he could break the formation's influence.

She once again assisted John in sensing and refining the snow mountain world. The snow mountain world held an entirely new power of laws.

John sat cross-legged, following Ice Talker's guidance and focusing on feeling the world's

essence.

But soon, he opened his eyes and furrowed his brow. "It's not working. I can't refine and merge it. It feels like there's another force resisting it."

"This is impossible," Ice Talker said in confusion. "The snow mountain has already fallen,

and its World-in-Hand is masterless. Anyone should be able to refine it." She closed her eyes and attempted the refining herself.

"Hmm?" After a short time, she opened her eyes, a look of puzzlement in them. "This isn't

right. This force is completely different from the snow mountain world. It's fiery, violent, filled with a destructive aura."

"Spirit Stone Mine!" John and Ice Talker exclaimed in unison.

The World-in-Hand of the snow mountain wasn't just the snow mountain itself; it also contained the Spirit Stone mine. They were actually one and the same.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Two completely different forces-no wonder they were able to withstand the attacks of The

Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.

"What should we do now?" John asked.

Ice Talker furrowed her brow, clearly at a loss.

To refine and merge the snow mountain world, they would have to leave this place and enter

the boundary where the snow mountain world and the Spirit Stone mine met.

But The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star would surely sense their movement and

launch another attack.

Neither she nor John would be able to withstand another assault from The Great Formation of

the Surrounding

Star.
