Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

"Haha, as expected, World-in-Hand has been perfectly merged!" John laughed excitedly.

The fact that the space was automatically repaired was a sign of the perfect integration of World-in-Hand.

Now, his World-in-Hand had become an indestructible existence.

Of course, it wasn't invincible. If faced with an overwhelmingly powerful force, it could still be destroyed in an instant.

But that was almost impossible. He could sense that even an Emperor-level powerhouse wouldn't be able to easily destroy his World-in-Hand.

"John, congratulations!" Gaka's joyful voice echoed.

As John's World-in-Hand grew stronger, Gaka's own recovery sped up, and his physical form began to solidify once again.

Now that World-in-Hand had reached this state, it no longer needed the sea god tree to protect it.

However, John didn't summon it.

"Big Brother, can I stay here to cultivate?" Spoorate asked expectantly.

The others gathered around, all of them sensing the immense strength of John's World-in-Hand, feeling the dense spiritual power, and noticing that it almost contained the complete The Heaven law.

Training here would be faster than anywhere else.

If John could perfect the The Heaven law, he would become a Creator God, completely mastering this world.

"Of course," he nodded, offering no hesitation. With a wave of his hand, powerful spiritual energy gathered around The Tree of Life, assisting them in their cultivation.

This amount of spiritual power was negligible compared to his World-in-Hand.

Looking at the group, he asked, "How long has it been since I started refining World-in-Hand?"

Sini snapped to attention and quickly replied, "It's been over a month already. In three days, the King's Meeting that Nine Phoenix Emperor mentioned will begin."

"That long?" John was surprised, but at least there was still time.

"Let's go, then. Time to attend this meeting."

His goal wasn't just to attend the King's Meeting, but to become one of the seven great kings.

Now, he had the power to do so.

With a thought, his three avatars flew out, remaining within World-in-Hand to guard everything. They could also cultivate there and grow stronger.

However, his own strength had slightly weakened, and his control over World-in-Hand had diminished a little. He no longer appeared as The Overseer who had fully merged with World-in-Hand.

This didn't bother him, though. If he encountered a nine-star powerhouse, he could still surprise them, drawing them into World-in-Hand and striking them down directly.

He then led the others out of World-in-Hand.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of battle filled the air, and a foul stench wafted toward them.

The group looked around to see the surrounding scene clearly.

After John had refined Endless Desert, it had vanished, leaving only the Dark City and the edge of the Endless Desert connecting.

A narrow strip of desert separated the two sides, where a fierce battle was breaking out between the adventurers and the Black Magicians of Dark City.

As John and the others appeared, the Black Magicians immediately set their sights on them.

"Godslayer!" The leader of the Black Magicians recognized John's identity, exclaiming in shock. He quickly issued an order, "Go! Don't let these people escape!"

John and his group had been specifically targeted by Senren, and Dark City had already issued a bounty. Anyone who captured them would be richly rewarded.

The Black Magician army immediately abandoned the adventurers, turning their attention to John and his group.

"Hmph, overestimating yourselves!" John sneered. The leader of the Black Magicians was only at the eight-star level, hardly a match for him and his companions.

With a casual wave of his hand, endless sword light surged, radiating an aura of overwhelming slaughter. Several of the Black Magicians were instantly cleaved apart.

Only three of them, who were at the eight-star level, barely managed to block his strike. However, they were deeply shaken and did not dare approach him any further.

"Let's go!" John had no interest in dealing with these individuals. He jumped onto Avis's back, leading the others as they boldly left the battlefield.

The Black Magicians did not dare to stop them any longer.

"My lord, could it be that this man has refined Endless Desert?" one of them suddenly thought of something, looking at the leader of the Black Magicians in surprise.

"That's possible!" The leader nodded. John's power had increased significantly, and with the disappearance of Endless Desert, it seemed likely that he had indeed refined the desert.

His expression changed slightly as he realized the secret behind Endless Desert. He quickly spoke, "We must inform Lord Senren."

Senren had already left Dark City, preparing for the King's Meeting. The leader couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

...

John and his group rode on Avis, flying swiftly toward Fire Phoenix City.

The city was far off, and there were still three days left before the King's Meeting officially began.

With Avis's speed, they should just about make it in time.

John wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't particularly interested in the King's Meeting; his only goal was to become one of the kings.

That way, he could openly expand his influence and rescue the powerful individuals who had fought alongside him against The Heaven, those exiled in the Realm of Chaos.

"When we arrive at Fire Phoenix City, make sure to wake me up," he told his companions before taking out a drop of golden blood, preparing to enter seclusion to refine it.

It was the blood of a divine dragon.

Cand-Dragon's eyes brightened at the sight, swallowing his saliva. However, he had already refined a drop of divine dragon blood, which had granted him a significant power boost. Continuing to refine it wouldn't offer him much further benefit.

The group nodded.

John sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began refining and absorbing the drop of divine dragon blood.

...

[You have refined the divine dragon blood. All four basic attributes increased by 10 million points. Dragon Transformation skill upgraded.]

[Dragon Transformation: Special skill, transforms the body into a divine dragon, increasing attributes by 100%. Consumes 10,000 spiritual power per second.]

The prompt flashed before him.

John had completely refined the divine dragon blood and opened his eyes.

His power had been significantly boosted once again. The most important gain was the doubling of the Dragon Transformation skill's effectiveness.

With the added boost from Heaven and Earth Transformation, his attribute increase reached an astonishing 400 times.

Even without relying on the power of World-in-Hand, he could now easily contend with nine-star experts, and even kill those in the late stages of nine stars.

"John, you're awake," Sini said, noticing he had regained consciousness.

John nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where are we?"

Sini spoke, "We've entered the territory of Nine Phoenix Emperor. However, we encountered a large group of powerful magical beasts that delayed us. We may not make it to the King's Meeting on time."

"It doesn't matter," John replied casually. Whether he could become one of the seven kings wasn't important. As long as he had the strength to kill a king, those people would submit to him.

Once they entered Nine Phoenix's territory, the atmosphere became much quieter.

Occasionally, strong eight-star magical beasts appeared, and even some nine-star magical beasts, but none of them took the initiative to attack.

Half a day later, a vast mountain range appeared in the distance, with flickering lights in the sky.

It was a fiery mountain range.

"So hot," Ice Talker frowned, uncomfortable with the environment.

They had already entered the range of Fire Phoenix City.

Beneath the continuous flames of the mountain range, a massive city stood. The area was lush with vegetation, and the environment was beautiful, unaffected by the flames.

"Stop! You are in the territory of Fire Phoenix City, no flying allowed!" A sharp voice shouted, and a strong figure suddenly appeared in the air. Holding a long spear, the individual blocked John and his group.

Early nine-star!

John was surprised. Someone in Fire Phoenix City could casually appear with nine-star strength.

He quickly ordered Avis to land.

Although he wasn't afraid of this person, they were now in Fire Phoenix's domain, and it was important to follow the rules.

The person looked them over coldly and asked, "What is your purpose in Fire Phoenix City?"

"My lord, we are here to attend the King's Meeting," John said, promptly taking out the Fire Phoenix token.

"Attend the King's Meeting?" The person seemed confused, taking the token and examining it closely. After confirming it was indeed a Fire Phoenix token.

He looked at John with suspicion, furrowing his brows.

He could sense that John's cultivation was only at the peak of eight stars, far from the nine-star realm.

With such strength, he was not qualified to attend the King's Meeting.

However, with the Nine Phoenix Emperor's token, he could not stop them.

He handed the token back to John and said, "The King's Meeting has already begun. It's being held on the Fire Mountain behind us. Only you can go up there; the others will be guided into the city, and arrangements will be made for them. Go ahead."

He stepped back and cleared the way, no longer obstructing them.

"Thank you," John said, nodding in gratitude before leading the group into the city.

Fire Phoenix City had strict security, and every adventurer entering the city had to have their identity verified.

Fortunately, John had the Fire Phoenix token, so he wasn't stopped.

Under the guidance of one of the city's guards, he entered the Fire Mountain at the back of the city.

...

At the top of Fire Mountain, a flat area had been cleared for the meeting.

Nine Phoenix Emperor sat upright in the primary seat, while seven chairs were placed on a stone table in front of her, six of which were occupied.

Among those seated were the Heavenly King and Forest King Great Bear.

These six were the Seven Great Kings of the Realm of Chaos.

The chair representing the Serpent King Medusa was vacant.

Everyone glanced at the empty seat with some confusion but didn't give it much thought.

Fire Phoenix gazed at the empty chair and frowned slightly. She had already warned John, but for some reason, he still hadn't arrived.

However, the meeting had already started, and it wouldn't be appropriate to delay any further. She looked around at the six others and calmly spoke, "There are two matters for this King's Meeting."

Everyone immediately straightened up and turned their attention to Fire Phoenix.

She continued slowly, "The first matter, you should have already heard some rumors. Serpent King Medusa has fallen. We need to select a new King."

"Medusa is dead?" a muscular bald man exclaimed, his brow furrowing as a powerful aura radiated from him.

He was War King, one of the Seven Great Kings, at the peak of nine-star strength, second only to Heavenly King in power.

Nine Phoenix Emperor nodded and continued, "Yes, it was done by Senren from Dark City."

The Forest King and Heavenly King exchanged a glance but said nothing further.

At that time, Medusa had already escaped from Dark City, so it was likely his death had nothing to do with Senren.

But since Nine Phoenix Emperor had spoken, if she said it was Senren's doing, then it was Senren who did it.

"Damn, Celestial Vault is becoming more and more lawless. This is a blatant challenge to us," War King growled angrily.

"Indeed, we must retaliate!" said a man in golden armor, his aura equally as strong as War King's.

He was Zeus, the God King, one of the Seven Great Kings.

The others nodded in agreement.
