Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Immortal Sword Formation, Subduing the Lord God
The Shadow God and the Witch God were both shocked and terrified when they saw this scene.
John's power far exceeded their expectations. The two of them had no absolute confidence in withstanding his overwhelming soul attacks.
"Why is this human so terrifying?" the Witch God said, his expression grave. A sense of retreat began to form in his heart.
"Don't be afraid. Shadow Star is my domain, and these people will die for sure!" Shadow God quickly reassured him.
As he spoke, he was simultaneously fending off attacks from several other Lord God powerhouses while fully activating The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star.

[Announcement: Sea Clan Star Domain Destroyed]
[Announcement: Underworld Clan Star Domain Destroyed]
...
Suddenly, several system notifications echoed through the chaos.
Everyone in the midst of the battle paused.
Except for Shadow Star, all seven Lord God star domains had been completely destroyed.
"Haha, the Creator God has finally made his move. Your star domains are gone, let's see how you act all high and mighty now!" a newly promoted Lord God powerhouse laughed with excitement.
"Dammit!" Nature Wrath of the Gods cursed, enraged. Looking up at the boundless void, he shouted angrily, "Creator God, come out now!"
"Impudent, how dare you show such disrespect to the Creator God!" Another newly promoted Lord God powerhouse glared at Nature God, but did not dare to make another move.
After a series of battles, they had already suffered significant losses, and with John and Cand-Dragon now joining the fray, they could feel the pressure mounting.
Their goal had only been to disrupt The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star and seize the Chaos Green Lotus.
Now that the formation had been destroyed, there was no need for them to continue fighting to the death.
"Shadow, why was my Witch Clan star domain also destroyed?" The Witch God's face darkened, and he coldly questioned Shadow God.
He had been working with Shadow God, who had promised to protect the Witch Clan's star domain.
But now, the Witch Clan, along with the star domains of other races, had been destroyed, leaving only Shadow God's Shadow Star.
"How would I know?" Shadow God's expression grew more serious, and he took a step back, warily eyeing the others.
Now, he had become the target of everyone's suspicion. He could feel that the Creator God was intentionally trying to destroy him, or else why would only Shadow Star be left intact?
"Shadow God, you will die!" Wrath of the Gods from the heavens cursed, charging directly at Shadow God.
At the same time, several Lord Gods from various star domains also made their move, including the Witch God.
"Dammit!" Shadow Wrath of the Gods cursed under his breath. Despite the protection of The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, he was no match for the combined forces of the seven Lord Gods' star domains.
"Everyone, farewell!" He had no intention of wasting time fighting and immediately fled toward Shadow Star.
"Don't let him escape!" The others swiftly followed, pursuing him into Shadow Star.
Boom! Boom!
A storm of Star Dust rained down, slowing their pursuit.
"Let's go, into Shadow Star!" The newly ascended Lord Gods did not continue attacking. They cast cold glares at John, then scattered and descended into Shadow Star.
"Godslayer, what's our next move?" Cand-Dragon asked after releasing the Heaven and Earth Transformation state, watching as the gods disappeared.
While the newly ascended Lord Gods weren't particularly strong, if they managed to escape, it would be difficult to catch them.
"We'll go after Shadow God." John thought for a moment, then jumped onto Cand-Dragon's back. With other Lord Gods, they continued the chase after the fleeing Shadow God.
The pursuit continued, with Shadow God in a sorry state. Even with the protection of The Great Formation of the Surrounding Star, he was no match for the seven Lord Gods, coming close to death several times.
He fled relentlessly, not daring to pause for even a moment.
Once he entered Supreme City, he would be safe.
In the distance, a towering city appeared — it was Supreme City, the forbidden zone of Shadow Star.
Shadow God saw hope. With a burst of speed, he charged toward it.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a deep hum filled the air, and the world was flooded with a terrifying aura of slaughter.
At the four corners of Supreme City, four longswords rose into the sky, and endless sword light enveloped the area.
"This is bad, Immortal Sword Formation! Retreat now!" Nature God's expression changed as he quickly warned.
The others realized what was happening and quickly tried to halt their advance, but Sea God and Witch God had pushed too deep into the formation and were immediately trapped.
Thousands of sword beams flashed, carrying terrifying principles of slaughter.
The bodies of the two were instantly destroyed, their souls mercilessly torn apart.
"No!" A roar of unwillingness echoed as Sea God's soul was ruthlessly shredded, and he fell.
The Witch God, surrounded by the powers of necromancy, desperately burned his soul force, barely managing to escape the formation in panic.
"Such power!" John arrived, his eyes widening in shock as he looked at the flashing sword beams. The Immortal Sword Formation contained an overwhelmingly powerful sword intent.
Then, he noticed the Witch God nearby. His body had been destroyed, his soul exposed, unstable and severely wounded. John was confident that he could easily finish him off.
"Hold off for now." A voice from Nature God echoed in his mind.
John froze, glancing at him, then decided to hold back.
"Haha! You wanted to kill me, didn't you? Come inside and try!" Shadow God's arrogant voice rang out from within Supreme City.
The group's anger flared up, but they didn't dare to step into the formation recklessly.
The Immortal Sword Formation was far too terrifying; only Nature God, with his Ancient Artifact Heidern Tower, might be able to barely resist it.
They all turned their eyes toward Nature God.
Boom! Boom!
At that moment, the sky rumbled with thunder, and several space rifts appeared, from which powerful figures of various races descended.
These were the strongest beings from the seven star domains, all of whom had seen their domains destroyed and now had arrived at Shadow Star.
Among them were also many players from Earth.
Shadow Star was the last remaining star domain. If this planet were destroyed, apart from the Lord Gods and The Overseer, all other life would likely be wiped out.
"Gentlemen," Nature God spoke up, his gaze sweeping over the group. "I know none of you want to cooperate, but Shadow Star cannot afford to fall. We must unite and fight against the Creator God."
"Fight against the Creator God?" A blond, middle-aged man scoffed, sneering. "Nature God, are you overestimating yourself or us? Our star domains have been destroyed, the laws of the Heavens have weakened, and our power is waning. What do we have left to fight the Creator God?"
He was the Lord God of the Sky Clan, and his strength was on par with Nature God's.
The others also sighed in despair.
In their prime, they hadn't been able to face the Creator God; how could they now?
Nature God continued, "Of course, I know that. But rather than sacrificing ourselves for nothing, why not take a gamble? What if we succeed?"
The group frowned, deep in thought.

"I'm in!" The Witch God was the first to speak up.
The others immediately shot him disdainful looks. This man was double-dealing; first, he had sided with Shadow God, trying to protect the Witch Clan's star domain, but when that domain was destroyed, he shamelessly switched sides.
Now, he was unashamedly joining forces with Nature God.
"I'm in too." The God of the Underworld also spoke.
The Underworld Clan had always had a good relationship with the Nature Clan.
With those two voices raised, the others also began to speak in agreement.
With Sea God dead, all five of the remaining Lord Gods, aside from Shadow God, agreed to stand with Nature God.
Nature God nodded in satisfaction and continued, "There's one more issue. Since we are all cooperating, we need to choose a leader. I propose that Godslayer from the Immortals lead us."
At that moment, John, who had been quietly observing the situation, was stunned upon hearing Nature God's words.
"What?" the group exclaimed, looking utterly unimpressed. "You want this human to lead us? Nature God, are you joking?"
"Impossible!" Eternal God spoke coldly, his murderous intent palpable. "The Eternal Clan is the strongest race. There's no way we will let this human lead us. And besides, this man killed Burning Sky."
"I also disagree," Sky God said, his voice cold. "If anyone is to lead, it should be me. Otherwise, we're done for. The Overseer under my command hasn't suffered any significant losses, and my strength is unmatched. I'll never submit to a human's orders."
"I agree!" The Witch God voiced his support once again.
Sky God and Eternal God both sneered at him, looking even more disdainfully at this traitor.
"I agree too," Cand-Dragon chimed in eagerly.
If John could manage to recruit these Lord Gods, he couldn't even imagine how powerful his forces would become.
The others glared at him coldly. Their allegiance wasn't something that a newly ascended Lord God could decide.
"Human, I can join you, but I have one condition: I want to comprehend the Immortals' legacy." A giant turned his gaze toward John and spoke slowly.
It was Titan God from the Titan Clan.
This man's size was comparable to John when he used his Heaven and Earth Transformation.
John couldn't help but wonder what secrets the Immortals' legacy held, to the point where even Lord Gods were interested.
He looked at Titan God, nodded, and replied, "Okay."
All the other Lord Gods from the various star domains, with the exception of Sky God and Eternal God, agreed to join John.
Nature God, holding the Heidern Tower, cast a cold glance at the two and spoke flatly, "And what about you two?"
The two exchanged a look. They could sense the murderous intent from Nature God.
With the Heidern Tower in play, if it came to a real battle, they knew they wouldn't be a match for Nature God and the four Lord Gods backing him.
Moreover, John and Cand-Dragon's battle prowess couldn't be underestimated either.
Sky God relented, speaking up, "Fine, I'll join, but like Titan, I also want to comprehend the Immortals' legacy."
"I agree as well," Eternal God chimed in.
"No problem. But the two of you will be on probation first," John replied. He didn't fully trust these two.
The Immortals' legacy was contained in his World-in-Hand. These two Lord Gods were strong, and if they harbored any ill intentions, they could potentially destroy his World-in-Hand.
The two of them weren't happy with this, but they said no more.
"Let's go. We'll head back to my Purple Sky City." John had just received word that Ice Talker and Armstrong, along with others, had arrived on Shadow Star and were making their way to his Purple Sky City.
He immediately tore open a space rift and entered first.
The others followed closely behind.
In Purple Sky City, they were still being relentlessly attacked by countless Hunters.
Suddenly, several terrifying auras descended. They were Lord Gods. The Hunters shuddered and, for the first time, retreated.
"Master!" Ice Talker saw Nature God and immediately rushed forward, her face filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry, I failed to protect Nature Star."
John was taken aback. She was actually Nature God's disciple.
No wonder Nature God had been so protective of her.
"It's not your fault. Even if I had been at Nature Star, I wouldn't have been able to stop this." He sighed helplessly and comforted Ice Talker.
