Chapter 457: Chapter457-A Powerhouse of the Oren Race

The moment the humanoid being emerged, his gaze immediately locked onto John.

He was none other than a powerhouse of the Oren race—

God King Oren.

After sensing the aura of a peak High God emanating from John, a cold gleam immediately flashed through Oren’s eyes.

But when he saw the complete Phoenix Dharma Manifestation behind John...

his eyelids twitched.

A complete Phoenix Dharma Manifestation?

He was genuinely shocked.

His movements slowed for a moment.

After all, a complete Phoenix Dharma Manifestation possessed the complete Divine Abilities of the innate divine demon Phoenix.

And John himself was a peak High God.

In a sense, that made him equivalent to a peak High God-level expert of the Phoenix race.

No wonder this man dares act so arrogantly.

So he’s relying on a complete Phoenix Dharma Manifestation.

After figuring this out, God King Oren sneered.

"But a High God is still only a High God."

"I am a peak God King."

"Even against an ordinary Sovereign-rank expert, I have the strength to fight."

"Across the entire Supergod City-State, I am considered a first-rate powerhouse."

As an existence far above ordinary High Gods, God King Oren possessed an extraordinary ability to process information.

His thoughts moved at incredible speed.

Whether to fight or flee could be decided within a single instant.

And once he made his decision—

Whoosh!

God King Oren vanished.

When he appeared again...

he was already directly above John’s head.

"DIE!"

He roared.

Earlier, God King Oren had discovered an opportunity inside the forbidden zone.

He had been just moments away from obtaining a valuable High God-grade treasure.

But suddenly, the laws within the forbidden zone had become unstable.

Because of those fluctuations, the treasure was startled away and escaped directly from his grasp.

God King Oren had been furious ever since.

He was a mighty God King.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

It was infuriating!

And now, after discovering that John was merely a peak High God...

he attacked without hesitation.

"Since you made me lose my opportunity..."

"then I’ll recover my losses from you!"

The power of laws surged wildly around God King Oren’s body.

It rapidly condensed into an enormous spear.

The spear contained the power of several laws—

the Law of Causality.

The Law of Destruction.

The Extreme Dao Law.

The weapon formed entirely from law stretched for hundreds of miles.

The surrounding space trembled beneath the pressure radiating from it.

Clearly, this method of condensing laws into a weapon possessed extraordinary destructive power.

John sensed the terrifying aura approaching him.

Yet his expression remained calm.

He casually looked at God King Oren’s attribute panel.

[Oren Talis]

[Race: Oren Race]

[Realm: Peak God King]

[Law Cultivation:]

[Primary Laws: Law of Causality — Grade Four]

[Law of Destruction — Grade Four]

[Extreme Dao Law — Grade Four]

[Special Talent: Unified Law-Martial Veins]

[Divine Abilities: ...]

"Grade Four Law cultivation."

"He really is a peak God King."

John understood the system clearly.

Once the cultivation of one’s primary law reached T5, one would qualify as a Sovereign-rank expert.

If only a secondary law reached T5, one could technically undergo a Sovereign-level assessment...

but without receiving the corresponding realm enhancement.

Such an existence could only be considered a pseudo-Sovereign.

John’s attention shifted toward the special Talent.

"This Unified Law-Martial Veins Talent is pretty useful."

"It allows martial techniques and law techniques to be used simultaneously without conflicting."

"My physical body is already extremely powerful, but I’ve never been particularly suited to martial-type skills."

"If I plunder this Talent..."

"that problem disappears."

John’s eyes immediately lit up.

...

Far outside the battlefield, the watching experts felt the full eruption of God King Oren’s aura.

Their expressions changed drastically.

Fear appeared in their eyes.

One after another, they retreated even farther, terrified of being caught in the aftermath.

"If I were facing him, God King Oren wouldn’t even need to attack."

"Just feeling that God King-level pressure would destroy my will to fight!"

"God King Oren may not be invincible beneath the Sovereign level, and he has never killed a Sovereign while fighting above his realm..."

"but he is still a first-rate expert among God Kings."

"He’s famous across countless universes!"

"That mysterious expert is in trouble now."

"He probably isn’t God King Oren’s match."

The spectators discussed the situation intensely.

Originally, the mysterious expert had apparently come here to enter the forbidden zone.

But he had somehow clashed with Tarlon because he refused to follow their unreasonable rules.

Then, using methods no one could understand, he had suppressed all the Tarlon experts guarding the place.

After that...

he started refining the entire forbidden zone.

Naturally, refining the forbidden zone disturbed those still exploring inside.

First, the peak High God-level Ianser Beast had emerged.

And now...

God King Oren himself had come looking for trouble.

...

"DIE!"

God King Oren drove the enormous law spear straight toward John.

BOOM!!!

The instant his Divine Ability erupted, space itself began to shake wherever the spear passed.

If an ordinary High God were struck by this attack...

even an immortal High God body would suffer fatal damage.

Unfortunately for God King Oren...

his opponent was not an ordinary High God.

It was John.

Facing the descending God King...

a strange light flashed through John’s eyes.

Whoosh!

"Inner World!"

The gray-red world descended once again.

"Phoenix!"

Whoosh!

The Phoenix Dharma Manifestation spread its wings and instantly appeared beside God King Oren.

From God King Oren’s perspective...

the Phoenix Dharma Manifestation had simply vanished from its original position.

And in the very next instant—

the entire world before his eyes shattered.

Space was sliced into countless fragments smaller than dust.

Everything...

had already broken apart.

God King Oren had no time to react.

He couldn’t possibly react.

His vision simply went black.

At the same time...

his Life Origin began vanishing at terrifying speed.

He only had time for a final thought.

How is this possible...?

When did I get hit?

This is the Phoenix race’s core Divine Ability...

Spatial Shatter?!

Then—

his consciousness disappeared.

At the same time, system notifications sounded beside John’s ears.

[Reminder: You have killed a God King-level expert.]

[You have obtained a certain amount of EXP, wealth, and Fame.]

[Ding! Your Plunder Talent has been triggered.]

[You have designated the special Talent, Unified Law-Martial Veins, for plunder.]

[Reminder: Plunder has triggered a 10,000x amplification.]

[You have obtained the SSS-grade Talent: Law-Martial Meridian Unity!]

[Reminder: You have automatically collected a number of High God-grade items.]

[Reminder: You have additionally collected a number of God King-grade items.]

This time, John had specifically chosen to plunder God King Oren’s Talent—

Unified Law-Martial Veins.

After the 10,000x amplification...

it evolved into Law-Martial Meridian Unity.

In essence, it was a Talent that allowed martial techniques and law techniques to be cultivated and used simultaneously.

With this Talent...

John could now use martial techniques freely.

He could cultivate both law and martial arts.

After obtaining the Talent, John immediately returned his attention to refining the forbidden zone.

...

Meanwhile, the surrounding spectators were unable to calm themselves.

They had just witnessed it again.

That mysterious expert had used another incomprehensible method...

and erased the famous God King Oren.

A peak High God...

had casually suppressed a peak God King!

This had completely exceeded their understanding.

If God King Oren had merely been an ordinary God King, perhaps it would have been somewhat easier to accept.

But he wasn’t.

God King Oren had earned his reputation through actual battles.

His strength was genuine.

His achievements were real.

And yet...

John had still killed him.

First, the mysterious expert suppressed the Ianser Beast.

Then...

he suppressed God King Oren.

Just how powerful...

was this mysterious man?
