Chapter 388: Chapter 388: The Battle with the ck Snake, World-in-Hand
?
The ck Snake, writhing in pain, released its massive maw and recoiled slightly, fixing its cold, menacing gaze on John.
Two neat rows of tooth marks appeared on his arm, and ck blood began to flow from the deep wounds.
The pain in his arm was excruciating, and John felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
The poison of the ck Snake was no joke.
He couldn''t afford to be careless. With a thought, John activated the Power of Laws, using its life-regenerating abilities to heal the wounds on his arm. The pain eased slightly, and he let out a sigh of relief.
The ck Snake''s voice echoed, dripping with malice. "Tsk tsk, it''s been a long time since I''ve encountered a worthy opponent." Its cold, bloodshot eyes never left John, and it spoke with a sinister, almost excited tone.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the massive snake''s body flickered and lunged at John, the two of them crashing into each other in a violent sh.
"So strong!" From afar, Xayah watched the battle unfold with a mix of awe and fear.
It was the first time she had seen John use his divine skill, transforming into a towering giant. His strength was not just physical; even his mere presence exuded an oppressive force that left her feeling helpless.
Perhaps... perhaps the master really could kill this ck Snake...
Excitement surged in her heart, but soon, it was reced by a deep, sorrowful realization.
John, too, was an Overseer. Even if he did kill the ck Snake and obtain the Hundor Gourd, there was no way it would be given to her.
Her mission had failed, and punishment was inevitable.
She sighed inwardly, no longer dwelling on the matter.
Boom!
Another loud crash echoed as both John and the ck Snake were sent flying backward.
The ck Snake''s tough scales shattered, and blood poured from the deep gashes.
John was also in no better state. His shoulder and arm bore two vicious wounds, dark blood trickling down his body.
He had underestimated the power of this giant serpent.
This was just an eight-star peak magical beast. If it were a nine-star beast, John couldn''t even begin to imagine how much more powerful it would be.
"Immortal Sword Formation!" John shouted, his voice cutting through the air. No longer holding back, the murderous intent around him surged. Four sword beams shot out in a flurry, instantly sealing the entire space. The Immortal Sword Formation was formed.
"Die!" he dered coldly. The Immortal Sword Formation activated, and thousands of sword beams zed to life, sweeping across the battlefield like a massive that covered everything in its path.
"Such terrifying killing intent!" The ck Snake''s expression shifted as it saw the rain of sword beams. There was no way to evade them. Without hesitation, the snake coiled its massive body, forming a huge ball with its ck scales exposed, creating a formidable shield of defense.
ng! ng!
The sound of sharp sword des shing echoed through the air as the ck Snake''s hardened scales held up against the onught for only a few seconds. Then, with a deafening crash, they shattered, and the relentless sword beams plunged into the creature''s flesh.
St...
Blood poured from the ck Snake''s body as it let out a piercing, agonizing scream that reverberated across the ind.
"You damn human, I underestimated you," the snake cursed, fury burning in its voice. Ignoring the endless sword attacks, itunched its massive body at John with terrifying speed, appearing right before him in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
The enormous snake, like a rope, wrapped itself tightly around him, squeezing with all its might.
Creeeek...
John felt a terrifying pressure enveloping him, his internal organs shifting and distorting under the immense force.
"Get off me!" John shouted furiously, his muscles bulging as he tried to break free from the ck Snake''s constriction. At the same time, countless sword beams filled the sky, wildly attacking the snake.
Puff! Puff!
The ck Snake''s body was torn and shredded, blood pouring out, its face twisted in pain. Yet, it did not dare to cken its grip. Instead, it tightened its hold on John with all its
strength.
It knew that if John managed to break free, it would be doomed.
"You bastard, die!" The pain coursing through its body only fueled its rage. The ck Snake opened its massive maw wide and descended upon John, attempting to swallow him whole.
John froze for a moment.
The snake''s size was massive, butpared to his form as a towering giant in the Heaven and Earth Transformation, it was far inferior.
This creature actually wanted to swallow him whole?
John couldn''t help but think of an old saying, "The greed of a snake can never be satisfied, even if it swallows an elephant."
Whoosh!
A wave of putrid stench hit him before he could react, and in an instant, he was swallowed whole by the ck Snake.
Inside, it was nothing like what he had imagined. It wasn''t cramped at all, but rather, it felt like a small world. The surroundings were dim, filled with the overwhelming stench of rot.
"This is World-in-Hand?" he gasped in disbelief.
"Indeed, I am an Overseer!" The ck Snake''s voice echoed in the gloom, and then its massive form appeared, floating in midair, its face full of smug pride, gazing at John with a
look of disdain.
Once trapped in its World-in-Hand, even the most powerful of humans would be doomed.
"Heh." John sneered, amusement flickering in his eyes. If they were outside, it would take him some effort to deal with this ck Snake, but in its World-in-Hand, it was practically asking for death.
"You really are asking for it," he said coldly, raising his United Sword. Chaos Force surged through him, and on the de, the reflections of the sun, moon, and starry dust appeared, along with mountains, rivers, andkes, instantly breathing life into the deste world
around him.
"Hmm?" The ck Snake''s eyes narrowed, a sense of unease stirring within it.
"Creation and Destruction!" John''s icy voice rang out as the United Sword swung down. A terrifying sword beam swept across the entire world.
Boom!
The sword beam cut through the air, shaking the very fabric of space as it shattered everything in its path. A torrent of chaotic space storms erupted, violently devouring
everything around them.
"This is bad!" The ck Snake cried out in rm. It finally realized what John was trying to do - he intended to destroy its World-in-Hand.
"Human, you dare!" It widened its eyes, mes of fury rising within it. Without hesitation, it
charged at John.
Boom!
A deafening crash sounded as the World-in-Hand copsed under the force of John''s sword strike. The surroundings immediately turned into a void of nothingness.
Cough!
The ck Snake violently coughed up a mouthful of blood, and both it and John were hurled back into the swamp below.
From the distant ship, the others breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the scene unfold.
When John was suddenly swallowed by the ck Snake, they were startled. Then, the ck Snake disappeared, and the women immediately recognized that it was the World-in- Hand technique at y.
Now, it seemed that John was unharmed, and in fact, it was the ck Snake that had suffered a
severe blow.
"You despicable human, you actually destroyed my World-in-Hand... I will not forgive this!" The ck Snake roared in fury, ignoring its injuries as it lunged at John once again, the two of
them locked inbat.
Boom boom...
The sound of violent shes rang out as the World-in-Hand technique was destroyed. To
their surprise, the ck Snake''s strength was unaffected; if anything, it had be even
more enraged.
For a moment, John was forced to retreat, step by step.
"Human, I will make sure you can neither live nor die!" The ck Snake yelled, its long body coiling around John''s massive form, tightening with all its might.
Crack crack...
John felt his bones shift under the pressure. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t break
free.
"Damn it, Dragon Transformation!" he shouted in anger. A golden light enveloped him, and in an instant, he transformed into a colossal Golden Divine Dragon, his base attributes
increasing fiftyfold.
Whoosh!
The Golden Divine Dragon and the massive ck snake entwined, each unable to gain the
upper hand.
"Bastard, are you even human or a monster?" The ck Snake growled, anger and confusion
in its voice. John''s bizarre abilities kept appearing one after another, leaving it unable to counter effectively.
Especially after he transformed into the divine dragon, his power was now no weaker than the
ck Snake''s.
Puff...
John didn''t bother answering. With a swipe of his sharp dragon ws, he shattered the
snake''s scales, blood pouring out.
Roar...
The ck Snake roared in fury, ignoring its injuries as it broke free from John''s grip and
retreated, creating distance between them.
"Human, die! Death descends!" it shouted, opening its enormous mouth and spewing a cloudN?v(el)B\\jnn
of ck mist, filled with a powerful corrosive aura, covering the entire swamp.
John''s massive body was immediately consumed by the mist. "Laws of Darkness?" he furrowed his brow. The surroundings turned pitch ck, and his mental energy was severely disrupted. The ck mist felt thick and sticky, almost like a liquid, clinging to him in a way that made him ufortable.
Not only that, but the mist also had a powerful corrosive effect. Even with his golden scales protecting him, he could still feel intense pain, as if his very body were burning.
The ck Snake''s control over the Laws of Darkness far exceeded his own.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the ck mist swirled, and the ck Snake''s enormous body reappeared within it.
"Human, die!" it yelled again, opening its bloodied maw and lunging at him with terrifying
speed.
Crack!
The golden scales on John''s shoulder shattered, ck blood dripping out as a sharp pain shot through him.
Before he could react, the ck Snake''s massive body coiled again, disappearing once more into the thick, ck mist.
"Damn it!" John cursed, immediately canceling his Dragon Transformation state and
reverting to his massive giant form, making his movements more flexible and swift.
Whoosh!
The ck mist swirled once again, and the giant, dark body of the ck Snake lunged from
behind him.
John had already sensed its presence. He quickly turned around, grabbing the ck Snake by
the neck. Then, he activated the power of space.
Buzz!
Both he and the ck Snake''s massive form suddenly vanished, appearing in a vast new
world.
Chaos Force radiated throughout the area, and life seemed to pulse all around them.
"Huh?" The ck Snake paused for a moment, taking in the unfamiliar world around it. Then,
it realized, "You''re also an Overseer!"
Its eyes lit up with excitement and joy. "You destroyed my World-in-Hand, and now I''ll
destroy yours!" "Hmph, do you really think you can?" John sneered, raising his hand. "Spoorate!" "Coming!" Spoorate''s voice echoed in his mind, understanding the situation. With a single
leap, shended in his palm.
The ck Snake finally noticed the small figure, confused. It clearly felt the girl''s power, which was no threat at all. It didn''t understand what John was trying to do. "Boy, are you really nning to use this little girl to fight me? I''ll destroy your World-in-
Hand right now!" It sneered, opening its bloody mouth and spewing another wave of ck
mist.
John''s gaze was cold. He drew the United Sword into his body and stepped forward to the enormous sword of the Immortals'' inheritance. Using the power of Spoorate, he gripped the sword''s hilt tightly, his arm bulging with veins as he slowly began to pull the massive sword
out.
Buzz!
The space around them trembled, and the terrifying power of thews surged.
The ck Snake''s eyes narrowed as it sensed a strong sense of danger.
This seemingly simple giant sword contained an aura that could destroy the heavens and the
earth.
"sh!" Before the ck Snake could react, John roared and swung the giant sword.
Whoosh!
The wind howled as the sword''s de hummed with energy. The surrounding ck mist was
immediately obliterated, and the enormous sword beam shot forward at an overwhelming
speed. "This is bad!" The ck Snake''s face changed slightly. Its scales tightened, and it quickly coiled into a ball, trying to block the iing sword beam.
