Every notification that rang in John’s ears signified the awakening of another Ultimate Supreme Venerable trait.

Each one represented power that other Supreme Venerables could only dream of attaining.

John immediately opened the detailed information page to examine the system’s rewards.

[Trait 1: The barrier between the Supreme Venerable and Origin Venerable ranks has been removed.]

[Trait 2: Law comprehension speed increased by 10,000×.]

[Trait 3: Laws may be converted without any loss. Even Acquired Law Insight Points obtained through Plunder are equivalent to Space-Time Law Insight Points.]

[Trait 4: The Ultimate Supreme Venerable Body is immune to all damage below the Origin Venerable rank. Attacking a target below the Origin Venerable rank triggers Instant Execution.]

[Trait 5: The Ultimate Supreme Venerable Soul has undergone the same evolution.]

[Trait 6: Omniscience of Myriad Arts grants mastery of every divine ability below the Origin Venerable rank.]

John felt power erupting endlessly throughout his body.

The sensation was so overwhelming that it felt as though the myriad universes themselves lay within his grasp.

Before such power, even an Origin Venerable would be forced to kneel before him.

With that thought, John turned his attention back to Overlord Taihen.

Trapped within the Divine Domain Barrier, Overlord Taihen looked utterly bewildered. He had no idea what was happening inside this strange domain.

The Divine Domain Barrier was a severed fragment of the Universe Will, and only humans could wield it.

Throughout all history, John was the only person who had ever obtained it.

As long as the Divine Domain Barrier remained active, the space-time within it existed independently under John’s control. Even the destruction of the universe outside could not affect it.

John had now attained mastery over myriad arts.

His ten fingers danced through the air, rapidly forming a sequence of hand seals.

They moved so quickly that they left countless afterimages behind.

As the final seal took shape, John’s immense magical power surged into it.

A forbidden zone of law formed between his hands.

It suddenly contracted, condensing into a single ray of chaotic light.

John shouted,

"Annihilation!"

The ray of chaotic light vanished with a sharp whistle.

When it reappeared, it had already pierced straight through the center of Overlord Taihen’s brow.

The moment the chaotic light penetrated his forehead, Taihen’s Venerable Soul twisted violently before being absorbed and refined by the light!

The brilliance in Overlord Taihen’s eyes...

Faded completely, leaving them empty and lifeless!

But at that moment...

John sensed something unexpected.

The Origin Venerable’s body was rapidly generating a new soul!

"An Origin Venerable’s body is unique—a peerless treasure in its own right."

"The body itself is the most exalted of sanctuaries."

"Although I suppressed his Venerable Soul, the existence of his Origin Venerable body allows new Venerable Souls to grow within it without end!"

"Each newly born soul possesses a different personality and new memories. It is a completely independent Venerable Soul!"

"To erase an Origin Venerable completely..."

"I must destroy the body as well!"

"Just like the original owner of the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic, the entire body must be shattered. Yet even after that body was destroyed, the surviving bone retained its instinct to devour universes!"

"That alone shows how extraordinary—and how difficult to destroy—an Origin Venerable truly is."

John remained completely composed despite what he had discovered.

The hand seals he had formed activated the divine ability Annihilation, an art designed specifically to counter souls.

For one thing, a soul was more fragile than a physical body.

More importantly, an Origin Venerable’s body was so powerful that only another Origin Venerable could destroy it!

Overlord Taihen’s Venerable Soul had now been suppressed.

The newly formed soul was still developing, leaving the body without a conscious master.

This was the perfect moment to strike!

John drew a deep breath.

A trace of madness flashed through his eyes!

"Peak Sovereign Bone Relic!"

Whoosh!

After his explosive increase in strength, John could now unleash eighty percent of the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic’s true power.

Once he reached the Origin Venerable rank, he would be able to unleash its full might.

For now, eighty percent was more than enough to deal with Overlord Taihen’s ownerless body.

"Break!"

John roared.

Translucent ripples of law spread from his voice and infused the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic.

They contained the combined law power of 1,892,160,000 Johns.

The aura of the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic instantly soared.

With a sharp whistle, it shot toward the center of Overlord Taihen’s brow.

BOOM!

The laws protecting an Origin Venerable’s body were extraordinarily powerful, but the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic had likewise reached that level.

Combined with John’s law power, which was already comparable to that of an Origin Venerable, the result was inevitable.

The bone relic pierced through Overlord Taihen’s forehead in an instant and entered his mindscape.

The inner world contained within an Origin Venerable’s mind was no smaller than a cosmic sea.

It held enough space to contain countless universes.

After entering Taihen’s mindscape, the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic began to expand.

It grew larger and larger—vast, boundless, almost infinite...

Turbulent currents of Origin Venerable-level law power erupted from it and ravaged Taihen’s body without restraint!

In moments, the Origin Venerable’s body began to collapse!

At the same time, the aura of the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic grew increasingly powerful.

As one weakened, the other grew stronger.

The reason soon became clear.

The Peak Sovereign Bone Relic was devouring Taihen’s Origin Venerable power.

Just then, the system chimed.

[Ding! You have slain an Origin Venerable!]

[Notice: You have gained EXP and Fame...]

[Ding! Your Plunder talent has activated. Selected loot: +50,000,000 Law Insight Points of every type!]

[Notice: Plunder has triggered a 10,000× multiplier. You have gained +500,000,000,000 Law Insight Points of every type!]

The instant the notification sounded, it confirmed that Overlord Taihen—a mighty Origin Venerable of his generation—was dead!

John listened to the notifications and looked toward Taihen’s remains.

The Peak Sovereign Bone Relic had completely replenished itself with Overlord Taihen’s power and was evolving at astonishing speed.

It had already grown from a skeletal hand into a complete arm, and it continued to develop rapidly.

Given enough time, it would inevitably grow into a complete Origin Venerable body!

Worse still, the faint beginnings of a Venerable Soul were already forming within the bone relic.

John frowned at the sight.

If the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic completed its growth, it would produce another Origin Venerable body. Once its Venerable Soul finished developing, an entirely new Origin Venerable would be born!

If that happened, what would have been the point of destroying Overlord Taihen’s body?

"Besides, I’m still only a Supreme Venerable."

"Once this Origin Venerable is born, it may not be willing to obey me!"

"Another battle would be unavoidable!"

"Instead, I should transform the bone relic’s Venerable Soul into an artifact spirit and refine the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic into a true Origin Venerable-grade artifact!"

That was right.

John intended to refine an Origin Venerable alive!

With a thought, law power immediately surfaced within his eyes.

His hands formed another sequence of seals, sending wave after wave of law power around the Peak Sovereign Bone Relic.
