Chapter 144: Chapter144-Counter-Killing the Myriadsoul Vanguard and Entering the Top Three

[Special event of the All-race Battlefield has been triggered!]

John, who was currently heading toward the high-points region, paused mid-step. He slowly landed on the ground, his gaze shifting slightly.

"So the countdown ended this quickly."

When he had entered, there had still been twenty-five minutes before the special event began.

Now, those twenty-five minutes were up.

[Battlefield-wide announcement: The mutation of this secret realm has now begun. The Divine Relic Fragment will break through its spatial concealment barrier in one minute. All participants across the entire region will unlock the real-time terrain map of the secret realm.]

[Once the terrain map is unlocked, the real-time coordinates, movement routes, and stationary positions of all participating Vanguards will become visible to every other Vanguard across the entire region, without concealment.]

[The Divine Relic Fragment has a time limit. If no one successfully obtains it within sixty minutes, it will automatically escape into the void and permanently dissipate, never to appear in the world again.]

...

"Divine Relic?"

"Probably another SSS-rank special item."

"This All-race Battlefield is truly generous. It even throws out things like this."

"Looks like I’ll get to enjoy another killing spree."

After John finished reading the announcement, turbulent battle intent flickered in his eyes.

The announcement had not revealed the so-called Divine Relic’s grade, which meant it was a special item.

Under normal circumstances, special items started at the level of a lesser Holy Grail.

If he could get his hands on it, John would gain more benefits.

The only thing he needed to consider was that this event would definitely attract every Vanguard on the map.

If John busied himself killing other Vanguards and allowed the Divine Relic to be taken away in the end, then if the other party desperately tried to escape, with the All-race Battlefield being so vast, John might not necessarily be able to chase them down.

He had just shown off his strength. If he appeared on the battlefield, he would definitely become the target of everyone.

Some Vanguards might even give up fighting for the Divine Relic and forcefully come over to surround and kill him instead!

"Forget it. Why worry so much?

"Since this event gives everyone full-map vision, there’s no need to worry about the other party escaping in the end.

"All I need to do is let loose and kill!"

The corners of John’s mouth rose as he looked at the map.

On the map, the positions of every Vanguard across the entire region had appeared clearly. His own position was also among them.

And at the center of the map, a glittering Divine Relic marker was especially eye-catching.

"It’s more than a hundred li away from here. From the looks of it, it seems to be underwater.

"There are also large numbers of Vanguards from other races gathered nearby.

"This level of difficulty is truly delightful."

John looked at the detailed situation on the map, not showing the slightest fear.

Just then, he noticed a point of light on the map rapidly approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

His gaze shifted slightly, and he opened the detailed information of that light point.

"Myriadsoul, Spiritglow?"

"A Level 270 Myriadsoul Vanguard. He’s clearly closer to the Divine Relic, yet he’s deliberately heading toward me.

"His ranking is 11th too, just one step away from the top ten.

"Has he set his sights on me?"

John watched as the other party approached him at high speed.

A look of eager anticipation flickered in his eyes.

"In that case, I’ll wait here quietly for you to come challenge me."

John landed atop a mountain peak below.

He sat cross-legged and silently began to wait.

...

Whoosh!

A pale-blue stream of light streaked across the sky.

Many Vanguards of other races sensed that terrifying aura and quickly avoided it.

Within the stream of light was the last remaining Vanguard of the Myriadsoul race—Spiritglow.

His entire body was like an energy form, covered in pale-blue radiance.

His body sometimes expanded and sometimes shrank, while special psionic characters flowed around him.

Myriadsoul Spiritglow, Level 270, ranked 11th on the Points Ranking.

In truth, if not for the temporary arrival of a fellow Vanguard of his race, whom he had spent some time guiding, he might have already entered the top ten by now.

...

"That brat hasn’t moved at all. He’s staying in place. Could he be waiting specifically for me?"

As Myriadsoul Spiritglow hurried on his way, he observed John’s movements on the map.

"Is he that arrogant? Does he think he can definitely beat me?"

"Haha, I like your courage."

A cruel light flickered in Spiritglow’s eyes.

In order to avenge his fellow Vanguard, he had not hesitated to give up participating in the fight for the Divine Relic and had crossed a thousand li to come kill John.

Soon, he arrived near the light point on the map and immediately saw John sitting on the mountain peak.

"Human brat, were you the one who killed my clansman?"

Spiritglow shouted angrily and directly raised his hand, throwing out a punch.

In the next moment, the characters circling around his body transformed into a giant fist shadow that smashed toward John.

Rumble!

In an instant, the entire mountain peak was shattered.

John’s figure was instantly swallowed by the fist shadow.

"Die!"

Spiritglow withdrew his hand on his own, believing John was already dead beyond doubt.

After all, ever since he had entered the All-race Battlefield, absolutely no one had ever been able to withstand one strike from him.

This Level 150 human brat was even less likely to endure it.

However, in the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

As the dust gradually dispersed, a tall and straight figure appeared in Spiritglow’s field of vision.

"He actually didn’t die?"

Spiritglow felt a chill rise from the depths of his heart.

Before he could react, John’s figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You seem rather arrogant."

John’s calm voice sounded beside his ear.

The next moment, an extremely high-temperature dragon flame surged from John’s body.

"Not good!"

Spiritglow’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly raised his hand, mobilizing the Myriadsoul characters around his body to prepare a defense.

However, John was too fast. Spiritglow had no chance to resist at all.

Boom!

Spiritglow took a blast of dragon flame directly to the face.

[-16.26 million!]

His HP instantly almost hit rock bottom.

However, at the critical moment, the psionic characters on his body instantly fused into him.

They barely managed to preserve a sliver of Spiritglow’s HP.

At this moment, the light around his body had already dimmed to an extreme degree, and he crashed down onto the ground.

Even sparks of dragon flame still lingered across his body.

Spiritglow stared in horror at the human figure walking toward him step by step.

"This man is terrifying!"

He mobilized the little strength left in his body and activated his final long-distance traversal skill.

However, in the next moment, a glaring prohibition notification appeared before his eyes.

[Traversal skills are forbidden in this place!]

The last bit of strength remaining in his body was instantly drained dry.

A look of despair appeared on Spiritglow’s face.

"How can this be? How can there be the power of a prohibition law in this place?"

Boom!

Another terrifying blast of dragon flame flew toward him. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The little HP Spiritglow had left was completely annihilated.

A notification rang beside John.
