Chapter 260: Return to the Void Area, Final Secret Area



John entered the Abyss and immediately merged with his Beast Clan clone without alerting anyone else.

He curiously glanced around.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Tree of Life and the Elven Spring were emitting vast amounts of spiritual power, dispelling the surrounding dark energy, which left everyone relatively unaffected.

Members of the Beast Clan, elves, and disciples of the Blues Family were all cultivating around the Tree of Life.

"Godslayer, you're finally back!" Cand-Dragon felt the change in his aura and knew it was his true form, finally feeling relieved.

The final treasure of the Skyline Continent was about to emerge, and he was genuinely worried that John might not make it back in time.

"So, did you manage to kill the Hunter broodmother?" he asked curiously.

John nodded, "The broodmother from the Ancient Battlefield Ruins has been slain by me, but there's still one left, residing with that Shadow Clan powerhouse, Blood Moon. I wasn't able to kill it."

"Blood Moon?" Cand-Dragon furrowed his brow. He knew of the guy-a peak upper-tier god -and combined with the mysterious and unpredictable abilities of the Shadow Clan, he was simply no match for him.

With a helpless sigh, he said, "It seems this battle for the final treasure will be dangerous." John didn't have absolute confidence in dealing with Blood Moon either, but there was no way he could give up on the final treasure of Skyline Continent. He'd just have to take things one step at a time.

"By the way, have you ever seen that Sea King make a move?" He recalled the secrets about Sea King and turned to ask Cand-Dragon.

He already knew about Sea King's desire to cooperate with him, suspecting that the guy had ulterior motives.

"Sea King?" Cand-Dragon pondered for a moment, frowning. "I've never actually seen him in action. Does the Sea King have some issues?"

"Yeah," John said quietly, "I've received some information that he's also an Overseer."

"What?" Cand-Dragon exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief. "That's impossible! The Sea Clan has never participated in any major battles between races, and I've never heard of him seizing any world's final treasure."

John said calmly, "What if, by the time you encountered him, he had already become an Overseer?"

From the memories he obtained from Blood Jade, he learned that Sea King had been an Overseer for a long time, following the gods' games, invading worlds, and monitoring various races.

"This..." Cand-Dragon was speechless, recalling that there were indeed many strange things about Sea King.

The Sea Clan rarely showed themselves, as if they lived in isolation. Moreover, during the last massacre by the Shadow Clan, where many powerful beings of different races were slaughtered, the Sea Clan was the only one spared.

John continued, "I'm afraid this time, our greatest enemy might not be the Shadow Clan, but rather the Sea King."

Cand-Dragon, however, spoke up, "If that guy really is The Overseer, there's actually nothing to worry about. Overseers cannot enter the final Secret Area, and within the same race, only one Overseer can exist."

"There are such restrictions? So does that mean Heidern also can't enter?" John thought of Heidern, one of the gods.

Cand-Dragon nodded.

[Announcement: The final Secret Area of Skyline Continent will open at noon tomorrow. Coordinates: xxx, yyy]

...

Suddenly, three system-wide announcements echoed, signaling that the final Secret Area was about to open.

The coordinates pointed to an area within the sea of Skyline Continent.

"It's finally happening!" Cand-Dragon said with excitement upon hearing the

announcement.

"By the way, have you finalized the participants from your Beast Clan?" John asked, looking toward him.

"Yes. There will be three of us-me, Nine-Tails, and Tony." The Secret Area was dangerous, so he didn't involve too many people. Both he and Nine-Tails were peak upper-tier gods, strong enough to handle most threats, except for the Shadow Clan.

"Tony's joining too?" John asked in surprise. Tony was only at the demigod level, his strength far too weak.

For this mission, John had already turned down several requests from people who wanted to accompany him.

Cand-Dragon nodded with a mysterious look on his face, "This guy has comprehended the Immortals' legacy and has mastered a powerful skill. He'll definitely be able to help you when the time comes."

"Oh?" John raised an eyebrow, about to inquire more when several figures appeared, led by none other than Heidern.

"Godslayer," Heidern greeted with a slight nod, though there was a flash of curiosity in his

eyes.

He sensed a change in John's aura, like he was a completely different person from before. Still, he didn't ask too many questions. At their level, everyone had their own secrets. Heidern continued, "Let me introduce the people participating in the Secret Area from our side-four gods, three from the Angel Race, and two from the Orcs."

He introduced them to John one by one.

Among them, two gods and Lincoln from the Angel Race were peak upper-tier gods, while the

rest were all at the upper-tier god level.

The group nodded politely in greeting. They had all witnessed John's terrifying strength and held a great deal of respect for him.

John nodded back, acknowledging their gestures.

These people were different from the Beast Clan. Their cooperation was purely to deal with the Shadow Clan. When it came time to seize the treasure, everyone would be acting for

themselves.

Heidern waved his hand, signaling for the others to step back before asking, "I heard you've also formed a cooperation with the Sea Clan?"

"Yes, is there an issue with that?" Cand-Dragon's expression remained neutral as he stared at Heidern, wanting to see if he knew anything about Sea King's secret.

Heidern frowned, his expression serious. "There might be a powerful figure within the Sea

Clan. I sensed the location of the final Secret Area in Skyline Continent a while ago and sent two upper-tier gods to investigate. But they vanished without a trace. Whoever did it... even I

couldn't achieve something like that."

As he spoke, he glanced toward John.

John rolled his eyes and said, "You're not seriously suggesting it was me, are you?"

"You're right," Heidern quickly corrected himself. "If you had killed upper-tier gods, you

would've transformed into a giant, and I would have noticed."

John gave a calm smile. In the past, he indeed needed to use his Heaven and Earth Transformation state to kill upper-tier gods.

But now, with his improved Soul Technique, he could take down upper-tier gods just as

silently.

However, judging by Heidern's reaction, he didn't seem to know that Sea King was an

Overseer.

John felt curious. Both Heidern and Sea King were Overseers-he wondered which of them

was stronger.

"I was just checking in. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Heidern said, before turning and walking away.

After watching him leave, Cand-Dragon frowned. "I wonder what kind of scheme he's

cooking up."

John replied indifferently, "He can't enter the final Secret Area in Skyline Continent. With just those upper-tier gods, he won't cause much trouble."

"Oh, by the way, has the demon race made any moves?" John asked, remembering the demon

race.

Beelzebub, leading the demon race, had also taken refuge in the Abyss. This was their home territory, and John hadn't bothered them.

Cand-Dragon shook his head, "No. I suggested a collaboration, but they declined."

"Don't worry about them," John said, unconcerned. In his view, the demon race wasn't even

as strong as the Angel Race under the gods.

...

The next day, the passage to the Abyss opened, and John, along with his group, set off toward the entrance of Skyline Continent's final Secret Area.

Not long after they left, Beelzebub, accompanied by ten upper-tier gods from the demon

race, also departed from the Abyss.

Roar! Roar!

The roars of magical beasts echoed through the air.

Skyline Continent had become extremely unstable, with cracks in space appearing sporadically, as though the world could collapse at any moment.

Once the final treasure was taken, Skyline Continent would crumble entirely, and this world

would cease to exist.

The magical beasts seemed to sense the impending danger, becoming restless and agitated.

However, the Hunters were nowhere to be seen anymore.

John didn't think too much about it as his group flew swiftly, soon entering the vast ocean

area.

Here, the space was much more stable.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance to Skyline Continent's final Secret Area.

Though it hadn't opened yet, numerous races had already gathered here.

The Sea Clan, humans from Skyline Continent, the demon race, Dragonkin, Giants, and over

ten other races, with hundreds of powerful figures present.

However, aside from the Sea Clan and Skyline Continent humans, the strength of the others

wasn't particularly impressive.

The arrival of John and his group immediately caught the attention of these powerhouses. Everyone turned to look at him with hostility in their eyes.

It was all because of him that the passage to Shadow Star had been opened. If they couldn't

seize the final treasure of Skyline Continent, they would be doomed when they arrived at

Shadow Star.

John ignored their hostility, indifferent to whether they lived or died.

They had wanted to open a passage to Earth, and the fact that he hadn't wiped them all out

was already giving them more leniency than they deserved.

John's gaze swept past the crowd, focusing on Sea King.

He could sense the aura around Sea King, who was merely a peak upper-tier god, unlike

Heidern, who wielded some kind of special power.

It seemed Sea King had some hidden strength that wasn't obvious.

Sea King noticed John's gaze and smiled warmly in acknowledgment.

John nodded back, then looked at the rest of the Sea Clan.

Since Sea King was an Overseer and couldn't enter the final Secret Area, it would have to be the

ten people standing behind him.

"Hmm?" John frowned. Among the ten upper-tier gods, one individual caught his attention.

Dressed in a loose black robe, the figure appeared to be a woman, but her face was obscured by a large hood, making it hard to see clearly. However, the aura emanating from her was no weaker than Cand-Dragon's.

"Not from the Sea Clan?" He furrowed his brow, then glanced at Cand-Dragon and Heidern

beside him, whispering, "Do you know who that robed figure is standing next to Sea King?" Both of them looked at the woman in the black robe, equally puzzled.

They could sense the strong aura as well. A being of such power in Skyline Continent was someone they should've known about.

"Could she be from the Shadow Clan?" Tony suggested.

Cand-Dragon shook his head. "No, I don't recognize the energy she's emitting. She must be

from some unknown race."

Boom!

Suddenly, the sea roared as hundreds of figures shot into the sky, radiating an overwhelming

aura of bloodlust and killing intent that sent shivers down everyone's spine.

The Shadow Clan had arrived!

The gathered races immediately grew alert, instinctively banding together. "Things are really getting lively!" The lead Shadow Clan warrior sneered, his crimson eyes

scanning the various powerhouses before finally locking onto John.

He licked his lips, a twisted smile forming as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the

Godslayer, right?"
