Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

John looked at Nine Phoenix and spoke, "The million-strong army of Dark City has made some movements."

He briefly explained the changes in Dark City's army.

Chaos furrowed his brows and said, "They've divided into eighty-one teams, each with more than ten thousand people. They're trying to set up the Demon's Sky Formation to devour the entire Endless Desert."

Nine Phoenix's expression turned serious, and she coldly said, "We can't wait any longer. If they manage to complete the formation, your World-in-Hand will be in danger."

John was also uncertain. He replied, "But the armies of the other kings haven't arrived yet. Can we handle these guys?"

Nine Phoenix let out a cold smile, full of confidence. "If a million-strong army gathers together with Celestial Vault at the helm, I wouldn't dare make a move recklessly. But now that the army is split, we can defeat them one by one."

John's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good opportunity.

Moreover, he could clearly sense the positions of these teams.

"Let's move immediately," Nine Phoenix said as she stood up and summoned her subordinates.

To be cautious, she, Chaos Emperor, and John each led 30,000 elite troops, splitting up to act separately.

John took out several communication stones and handed them to the two. He said, "If there's any change in the enemy's actions, I'll notify you at any time."

"Understood!" They both replied, accepting the stones and immediately setting off.

"Sini, you stay here. If anything unexpected happens, enter my World-in-Hand immediately. I'll take in the Endless Desert," John instructed the women.

"Don't worry. We'll handle things here," Sini nodded. She had part of John's World-in-Hand powers, along with mastery over the powers of the underworld, enabling her to enter at any time.

Even in the case of an emergency, she could lead the others into the World-in-Hand right away.

This time, John only brought Sword Demon, Cand-Dragon, and 30,000 elite troops from Fire Phoenix City. He sensed a small team nearby and quickly rushed toward them.

He could clearly feel that the Dark City army was completely unaffected by the yellow sands and mirages; their movements were precise. It was clear that these individuals could distinguish the correct direction.

John was puzzled. If Endless Desert couldn't trap the people of Dark City, why hadn't they taken control of it earlier?

The strength of Serpent King Medusa was such that even Senren couldn't deal with her. If they wanted to control it, it should have been an easy task for them.

John couldn't figure it out and didn't dwell on it any longer. He quickly moved through the desert.

Soon, he found the team—over 12,000 members, most at the seven-star or eight-star level, with the leader at the early Nine-Star stage.

This level of power wasn't even a match for the army of Fire Phoenix City.

"They're here!" The Nine-Star expert felt the presence of John and his group, his eyes lighting up.

"Quick, set up the formation!" he commanded coldly. These people seemed to have been prepared for this, as dark laws of power surged around them, quickly spreading and attempting to devour John and the others.

"Hmm? Isn't this the Demon's Sky Formation?" John wondered, sensing the peculiar aura of the formation. Although it was composed of dark laws, it didn't seem to have much offensive power.

"This isn't right, this is the Sealing Array. These guys are trying to trap us." A soldier in black armor behind John also sensed something unusual and immediately spoke up to warn him.

John looked at the man in confusion and asked, "Sealing Array? What kind of formation is that?"

The black-armored soldier quickly explained, "It's a sealing formation. If someone is trapped inside, even an Emperor-level expert would struggle to escape within a short time."

"Even an Emperor-level expert can't break free?" John frowned, realizing the danger. He immediately took out a communication stone to contact Nine Phoenix and Chaos Emperor.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Both of them had also been trapped by the Sealing Formation. To break the formation would take at least half a day.

That much time was more than enough to set up the Demon's Sky Formation and envelop the entire Endless Desert.

"I'll see just how strong this formation really is," John muttered. The wind around him howled, and a powerful aura spread, transforming him into a towering giant.

Buzz!

The United Sword appeared in his hand, humming with sword intent. The massive Chaos Force surged within him as he activated the divine skill Creation and Destruction.

A huge sword light howled through the air, threatening to destroy everything in its path as it cleaved toward the formation.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed, and the Endless Desert trembled violently, but the immense formation stood firm, completely blocking the strike.

At the edge of the Sealing Formation, the leading Black Magician looked at John and coldly said, "Human, stop your pointless struggle. Even an Emperor-level expert can't destroy the Sealing Array, let alone you."

"Is that so?" John scoffed, a sneer playing across his face.

He could feel that the Sealing Array was indeed powerful, but it had its limits.

That last sword strike had left a few of the Black Magicians injured and vomiting blood.

Whoosh!

The wind howled again, and the United Sword was raised high. John once more unleashed the divine skill Creation and Destruction.

"Damn it!" The leading Black Magician cursed, clearly aware that John had spotted a weakness in the formation.

He turned to the other Black Magicians nearby and urgently ordered, "Quickly, whatever it takes, stop this man. Once the Demon's Sky Formation is set, this human will die for sure!"

Their expressions were grim, and the dark Power of Laws surged wildly, fully supporting the formation.

"Slash!" John roared, and the United Sword came down in a massive arc, the enormous sword light howling through the air.

Sword Demon and the others were not idle either. They immediately unleashed their strongest attacks, hammering at the formation.

John even summoned the Four Extermination Swords, combining them with Creation and Destruction. A variety of techniques were unleashed one after another.

Boom boom…

The ground trembled as the dark Power of Laws surged. The mighty formation seemed to be on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

"Why is this human so powerful?" The leading Black Magician's face darkened as he stared fiercely at John.

The Sealing Formation had no offensive capabilities; if this continued, it wouldn't hold for much longer.

Grinding his teeth, he commanded, "Hold on, even if it costs your lives, trap these people."

With that, he quickly stepped back and took out a series of black jade stones, emanating a powerful dark Heavenly Power of Laws. He immediately began placing them around the area.

Buzz!

The space trembled, and powerful waves of Darkness Heaven Law surged from the distance, responding to the black jade stones.

He was setting up the Demon's Sky Formation!

John vaguely sensed a terrifying pressure, and he realized his World-in-Hand might not be able to withstand it.

"Break for me!" he roared, and a massive black ancient sword appeared.

It was the Immortal's inherited sword. Now that John's strength had increased, he could barely control it.

The great sword howled, and with a simple, unadorned strike, it cleaved toward the Sealing Formation.

Boom!

Crack!

A sharp cracking sound echoed, and the powerful Sealing Formation shattered. The Black Magicians coughed up blood, their faces pale, as the formation backfired, causing them to suffer heavy injuries.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!" John said coldly, charging straight at the leader of the Black Magicians who was still setting up the formation.

"Not good, just a little more!" The leader's face twisted in panic, and he coldly ordered, "Quickly, stop him!"

The surrounding Black Magicians didn't hesitate. They rushed forward, raising their hands as countless Black Demon Bombs howled through the air, completely enveloping John's figure.

Boom boom…

Explosions rang out, and the dark Power of Laws surged, but a flash of golden light flickered. John emerged unscathed, the Immortal's inherited sword raised high in his hand.

"Die!" he roared, bringing the massive sword down.

"Lord, be careful!" Several Black Magicians didn't hesitate, blocking in front of their leader.

Pfft!

The Black Magicians were powerless to resist and were instantly struck down by the massive sword.

The leading Black Magician swallowed hard, fear evident in his eyes, but his actions didn't pause for a moment. A dozen or so black jade stones flickered and quickly sank into the ground around them.

Even if he were to die, he would complete the arrangement of the Demon's Sky Formation.

Whoosh!

The wind howled as John's attack descended.

"Human, you will die!" The Black Magician embedded the last jade stone into the ground, watching the falling massive sword with an expression of calmness.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the Black Magician's body was obliterated, vanishing without a trace.

Buzz!

The space trembled, and several light pillars shot into the sky, responding to one another.

The entire Demon's Sky Formation was now fully set, and the terrifying dark power surged. Thunderous booms echoed in the sky as a horrible aura descended.

John's expression became serious. He drove the great sword into the spot where the black jade stone had just disappeared.

Pfft!

The massive sword plunged into the earth, and a powerful force surged, attempting to destroy the formation's core.

But it was to no avail. The Demon's Sky Formation had already formed, with the components connected and unified as one.

Even with his god-tier Formation Talent, it was not something he could easily destroy.

Rumble...

Thunder rumbled through the heavens and earth as endless waves of Darkness Heaven Power surged. The oppressive aura spread, and a gigantic, grotesque monster appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun.

It was the Heavenly Demon conjured by the Demon's Sky Formation.

"Human, today I will avenge my son!" A cold voice reverberated, and a strange, forceful pulling energy surged, wildly attempting to Devour the power of World-in-Hand.

"Celestial Vault!" John's expression shifted slightly, and he guessed the identity of the one behind the voice.

He could clearly feel the power of World-in-Hand draining away, and yet there was nothing he could do about it.

Even the energy within his own body was being Devoured.

"I'll see just what kind of monster you are!" He gritted his teeth, and with a thought, the complete World-in-Hand descended.

Whoosh!

Three figures flickered and merged directly into his body—it was his three main avatars.

His strength was greatly enhanced again, and at the same time, the full power of World-in-Hand arrived. The surge of vitality and Laws of Power emanated, pushing back against the Demon's Sky Formation.

"Hmm? The Roots of Heaven and Earth!" Celestial Vault noticed The Tree of Life, and a shocked exclamation escaped him. "Human, I didn't expect you to possess such a treasure. I'll take it for myself!"

The gigantic Heavenly Demon locked its eyes on The Tree of Life within World-in-Hand, beginning to Devour it furiously.

"Let's see if you have the ability to do so!" John's expression was grim, and with a wave of his hand, he called upon the Endless Sea within World-in-Hand. A black divine tree shot out, howling as it flew.

Boom!

A monstrous wave surged as the sea boiled. Without the divine tree to suppress it, the power of the sea became incredibly volatile, recklessly destroying everything in its path. Massive spatial rifts appeared in the sky.

The overwhelming force swept through the area, even causing the Demon's Sky Formation to tremble slightly.
