Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

"Don't worry, this time that guy won't escape," John said confidently. Worrying about the safety of Sini and the others, he made a move and left World-in-Hand.

He appeared in the desert.

Although the lead Paladin of Light was gone, the remaining Paladins still operated as one unit, their coordination seamless. Sini and the others were struggling, already injured.

Fortunately, John had arrived just in time.

"Hang in there a little longer," he called out to the others. Then, without further hesitation, he used the same method, directly pulling ten Paladins of Light into World-in-Hand.

Ten Eight-Star experts, working together, still posed a significant threat.

But in his World-in-Hand, John was confident he could handle them.

Without wasting any more words, he launched his attack.

Activating United Sword Domain, a surge of powerful laws energy flooded the area, and countless magical forces exploded, bombarding the ten Paladins relentlessly.

The ten Paladins managed to hold on for just a few rounds before they were utterly shattered.

They were soon overwhelmed by an avalanche of sword beams and endless magical attacks, and within moments, they were all dead.

[You have slain an Eight-Star Paladin of Light. Plunder ability activated.]

[Soul Technique +1,000, Magic Critical +5, Light Element Body Conversion +1%]

...

The prompt continued to flash across the screen.

Killing these Paladins of Light would certainly allow him to Plunder their Soul Technique and Light Element Body Conversion.

In just this short time, John had already gained over 10,000 Soul Technique points and 11% Light Element Body Conversion.

"Keep going!" he thought to himself. He once again left World-in-Hand and appeared in the endless wilderness.

At this point, only about sixty Paladins of Light remained, but they still coordinated effectively, their combined strength was still terrifying.

Sini and the others were still no match for them, but fortunately, their injuries weren't too serious.

John once again used World-in-Hand to deal with them. This time, he pulled twenty Paladins of Light into World-in-Hand.

Facing the combined might of twenty, even with the power of World-in-Hand, John still felt some pressure.

Moreover, the attacks from these twenty were still a threat to his World-in-Hand.

Luckily, with the divine skill Creation and Destruction, he was able to stabilize the space.

John poured everything into the fight, even sustaining some injuries, but eventually, he managed to slay the twenty Paladins of Light.

Though it cost him quite a bit, the rewards were rich.

He had Plundered an additional 20,000 Soul Technique points and 20% Light Element Body Conversion.

Not only that, but he also obtained two complete Hearts of the Continent and eleven regular Hearts of the Continent.

He collected everything and left World-in-Hand once again.

The remaining forty-seven Paladins of Light no longer posed a threat to them.

Especially with the powers of the underworld that Sini wielded, which had a significant restraining effect on them.

John collected the remaining Paladins, along with Sini and the others, into World-in-Hand.

"Kid, how many Paladins of Light did you piss off?" Gaka, noticing that more Paladins had appeared in World-in-Hand, couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

John replied, "This is the last batch."

"Go!" He wasn't in the mood for small talk. With a single command, a surge of laws energy flowed through him, and he charged toward the Paladins first.

Holy Light flickered, and immense power howled.

These forty-odd Paladins were all Eight-Star experts, and their combined attacks were on par with mid-Nine-Star experts.

The terrifying energy rippled through the air. World-in-Hand could hardly contain it. Cracks appeared in the space, and endless spatial turbulence surged, destroying everything in its path.

John remained unfazed.

As long as his World-in-Hand wasn't destroyed in an instant, with the help of divine skill Creation and Destruction, he could gradually repair the space.

With his United Sword raised high, Chaos Force surged, and Creation and Destruction activated.

A sharp sword beam sliced through the air, carrying an overwhelming, unbeatable force. Yet, instead of destroying the space, the fractured parts were slowly mended.

These Paladins of Light were no longer a threat to his World-in-Hand.

No longer having to worry about his surroundings, John let all the laws energy in his body gather. He unleashed his full strength, with magic skills roaring as they crashed down on the Paladins.

"Damn it! Who the hell are you?" The Paladins grunted in pain as they were pummeled, cursing loudly.

With the power of World-in-Hand supporting him, they were no match for John and the others. They could only passively take the blows.

They tried to escape, but this was John's World-in-Hand—there was nowhere to run.

"You scum of the Church of Light, die!" Sword Demon roared. A terrifying sword beam erupted, instantly slicing one Paladin in two.

He had followed John for a while, and during this time, his strength had also improved.

The greatest weapon of these Paladins, their Spiritual power and combined attacks, were nothing in the face of John and his companions.

They had completely lost the advantage and were systematically taken down by John and his team, one after another.

Soon, only the last Paladin remained, severely injured and on the brink of death.

He glared at John, unable to resist. Weakly, he said, "Human, offending the Church of Light... you won't end well!"

Pfff...

John didn't bother with any further words. With a single sword strike, blood splattered, and the final Paladin fell beneath his blade. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was quite a hassle," John said casually, wiping the blood off his longsword.

He had already made an enemy of the Celestial Vault organization, and now he had also provoked the Church of Light.

He had offended the two major factions of the Realm of Chaos.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it. The Church of Light was powerful, but for now, they wouldn't take action against him.

He stopped dwelling on the matter and checked the spoils of this battle.

He had gained over thirty thousand Soul Technique, and the conversion of the Light Elemental Body had reached 69%.

Unfortunately, he hadn't managed to reach 100% conversion of the Light Elemental Body.

Besides that, he had also acquired seven complete Hearts of the Continent, thirty-three regular Hearts of the Continent, and various light-attribute items.

He gathered them all up and didn't rush to refine them.

Buzz!

At that moment, a ripple of Spatial power surged, and Medusa's figure appeared out of nowhere in his World-in-Hand.

The fact that the Paladins of Light hadn't left for a long time made him curious.

But when he saw the surroundings, his face immediately changed in shock.

The corpses of the Paladins of Light were scattered all around, and not a single one had survived.

"Human, you... you actually managed to kill all these Paladins of Light!" He gasped, swallowing hard, a chill rising in his heart.

He knew well just how powerful the Paladins of Light were. Nearly a hundred of them working together could challenge even a late-stage Nine-Star expert.

This human, only at the Eight-Star level, had killed all these Paladins—this was too strange.

"John, seal the space! Don't let him get away!" Gaka was the first to react, quickly warning.

John understood and was about to seal the space.

But Medusa reacted even faster. Upon seeing the Paladins of Light all slaughtered, he immediately prepared to flee.

Buzz!

A fluctuation of Spatial power, and his figure vanished.

"This time, you won't escape," John said firmly, leaving World-in-Hand and arriving in the Endless Desert.

"Mm, where is he?" He scanned the area, but Medusa was nowhere to be found.

Just then, Sini and the others appeared.

Spoorate looked a bit flustered and quickly spoke, "Big brother, that guy ran into my World-in-Hand."

"What? He ran into your World-in-Hand?" John's expression changed slightly.

Spoorate had only recently advanced to The Overseer rank and barely reached the late-stage One-Star level. His World-in-Hand was still weak, and even if Medusa was injured, he could easily destroy it.

It seemed that Spoorate's ability allowed him to travel freely between different worlds, but it required an entrance to be nearby.

John turned to Spoorate and quickly said, "Hurry, open your World-in-Hand. Also, everyone else, open your World-in-Hand as well."

Most of the people around him were The Overseer rank, and with their World-in-Hand connected, they could prevent Medusa from escaping.

"Got it." Spoorate didn't hesitate and immediately opened his World-in-Hand, connecting it to the Endless Desert.

The others quickly entered.

John made sure to stabilize this world right away, sealing off the space to control Medusa.

At this moment, Medusa finally started to panic.

The destruction of Gran City, the connection between their World-in-Hand, meant he couldn't escape.

"Human, you can't kill me!" He looked at John, hastily speaking.

John sneered, coldly saying, "If you want to live, tell me how to enter the Mountains of Immortals."

Medusa looked at him and said, "To enter the Mountains of Immortals, you need a key. But the key is no longer in my hands."

"Key?" John coldly stared at him. This guy was crafty, and John didn't trust him.

Medusa sensed his suspicion and hurriedly explained, "I'm too weak to resist now, there's no reason for me to lie. And if the key were in my hands, I would have already refined the Mountains of Immortals and controlled the entire Endless Desert."

John furrowed his brows. This guy didn't seem to be lying.

Furthermore, Gaka had said that once they entered the Mountains of Immortals, they could refine the Endless Desert.

He asked again, "Where is the key?"

Medusa hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Leviathan, who was once the guardian of the Mountains of Immortals, betrayed Gaka, and the key was taken by him. But I don't know where he is, though he must be hiding somewhere in this desert."

"Leviathan?" John looked at Sword Demon, confused.

Sword Demon shook his head. He had never heard of this person.

However, since Leviathan was a guardian of the Mountains of Immortals, Gaka should know who he was.

John's murderous intent filled the air as he coldly said, "You've already lost your value."

"Wha—?" Medusa's expression changed, and he tried to flee.

Boom!

John raised his hand, the Dark Heaven's power of laws surged, and a Dark Orb howled through the air, directly blasting him away.

Medusa's massive body tumbled, his scales shattered, and his injuries worsened. He was on the verge of death.

"Die!" John swung his United Sword, and a sharp sword beam flew toward him.

Medusa, gravely injured, couldn't defend against this strike.

In despair, he closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate.

"Human, stop!" A light voice called out, and an apparition of a woman materialized, blocking the sword beam and taking the brunt of the attack.

It was a massive energy body formed from Spiritual power.

"The Law of Light! You're also from the Church of Light?" John sensed the strong aura of light emanating from the woman and warily asked.
