Chapter 188: The Temple Seal, Demigod Susan
"John, you actually found the Dark Sea!" Bonnie's figure appeared, looking at the Dark Sea before her with astonishment and delight.
With the water from the Dark Sea, their dark elf clan would experience a significant boost in strength.
Not only that, but The Tree of Life could also nurture new elves.
Meanwhile, the demon emperor watched this scene with growing anxiety. It was clear that this human intended to take advantage of resurrecting the two divine beings to monopolize the Dark Sea.
He couldn't defy Sini's orders, and he wasn't a match for John, so he could only watch helplessly.
Whoosh!
Soon, the Dark Sea fully merged with Death Land, and the passageway closed.
With the life force of The Tree of Life nourishing them, along with the power of the Dark Sea, Michelle and Kamal would be resurrected in no time.
Seeing that there were no more treasures here, John turned to Sini and asked, "Did you find a way to break the Temple seal?"
She nodded and took out a jade stone, explaining, "This contains the power of the Demon Gods, which is enough to easily shatter the Temple seal."
"Great." John then looked at Elsa.
She understood and said, "Master, take me to the Secret Area of the Death Worm's Nest, and I will help you open the passage to the Temple."
...
The three of them left the Dark Sea's Secret Area and immediately entered the Secret Area of the Death Worm's Nest.
John had already explored this place, and while there were still sixth-tier Red Armored Ants and Dark Spiders wandering around, they posed no threat to the three of them.
"Master, this way." Elsa led the way, guiding them to the center of the Death Worm's Nest, where four different areas converged.
Light gathered around her, transforming into four beams that surged into the ground. Boom!
The ground trembled as four stone pillars slowly rose.
"Sini, can you help me? Use your power to activate the stone pillars," she instructed, gathering the power of Holy Light and channeling it into two of the pillars.
Sini nodded and followed her lead, condensing her dark power and infusing it into the other two pillars.
Buzz!
The pillars glimmered, and the four streams of energy coalesced at the center, causing spatial fluctuations that opened a rift in space.
This was the passage to the Temple.
John frowned and looked at Elsa, questioning, "This rift in space seems like only a god or someone who has fully merged with a treasure could open it, right? Ordinary players wouldn't be able to activate it. Why are the gods so anxious?"
"Master, there are other ways to open it." She pointed to the four grooves on the pillars and explained, "Using Spirit Stones can also activate it."
Spirit Stones?
John remembered that after defeating the four seventh-tier legendary bosses here, he had obtained four Spirit Stones, though their effects were unknown.
It seemed those four Spirit Stones were meant to unblock the passage to the Temple.

Who would have thought?
"Let's go." John no longer lingered on the question and stepped into the passage first. Buzz!
A wave of spatial power surged.
John found himself in an unknown area, surrounded by a vast expanse filled with swirling, mottled energies-wind, fire, water, earth, darkness, and light-all mingling together.
It seemed there were powerful restrictions here; he could feel his own strength being suppressed, unable to fully unleash itself.
"Is this the Temple?" Sini curiously surveyed the surroundings, noticing the desolation- there were no grand halls or structures in sight.
"Elsa! You actually made it in," a sudden furious shout echoed, and a terrifying aura enveloped them. A figure flew toward them rapidly-it was an angel.
An eight-winged angel! A demigod powerhouse!
"Susan!" Elsa recognized the angel, her expression shifting. "Impossible! Beings above the ninth tier cannot descend into the world of Gods. How did you get here?"
"Hmph, aren't you here too?" the angel named Susan replied coldly.
Elsa realized, her disbelief palpable: "You... you actually recognize a human player as your master!"
While it was true that ninth-tier beings couldn't typically enter the world of Gods, those confined in certain special spaces, like Tony and Ben, were exceptions.
Moreover, like Elsa, who acknowledged John as her master, such beings could evade the constraints of the world of Gods.
"Hmph! Do you think I would be as foolish as you?" Susan sneered disdainfully. "I may recognize a human as my master, but that guy is still under my father's control. I am still
free."
With that, her gaze turned to John, a murderous intent radiating from her as she said coldly, "Human, we meet again."
"Have we met?" he asked, puzzled. This angel seemed somewhat familiar, but he was sure he had never encountered a demigod-level angel before.
Elsa quietly reminded him, "Master, you killed a projection she conjured; that's how you obtained access to the Death Worm's Nest's Secret Area."
"It's you!" John suddenly realized, disbelief washing over him. "You're actually a demigod powerhouse!"
"Today, you will all die. Holy Light Judgment!" Without further ado, Susan swung her light sword, and a beam of Holy Light descended abruptly, enveloping the three.
John wasted no time and positioned himself in front of the two women to take the brunt of
the attack.
-96,443,000
-5,043,000
Two damage figures flashed-over ninety-six million from the skill and over five million
from true damage.
John was instantly annihilated.
[You have been slain by the demigod powerhouse Susan. The Blessed Ring triggers; you
resurrect on the spot.]
"Master!" Sini and Elsa looked on in worry.
"I'm fine!" John's expression was serious as he kept a vigilant eye on Susan.
The sky was calm, as if the green-clad woman's projection would not descend again.
"Heh, I knew you had a means of resurrection. I wonder if you can withstand a soul attack?" Susan sneered disdainfully, her vast soul power coalescing as a beam of white light shot toward him-it was a soul skill!
John didn't dare to be careless; he quickly activated his Soul Barrier.
Puff!
The white light dissipated without causing a ripple.
John was taken aback; this woman's soul attack hadn't even broken through his Soul Barrier.
Her Soul Technique was far inferior to his own.
"Is this really what a demigod powerhouse looks like?" John scoffed, his previous anxiety
easing.
Even if she was powerful, without a soul attack, he felt invincible. "Impossible!" Susan's eyes widened in disbelief. "My Soul Technique is over ten thousand points! How could you possibly block my soul attack without a fusion treasure?"
"Sorry, but my Soul Technique is a bit stronger than yours," John replied casually. Thankfully,
he had obtained the Jade Heart Lotus, which boosted his Soul Technique by 10,000 points. Combined with his training, his Soul Technique had reached an impressive 11,800 points, far
exceeding hers.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the air trembled as he unleashed his soul skill, Soul Impact.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed as John coughed up blood from the backlash.
Though her Soul Technique wasn't powerful, she possessed a formidable soul power that
didn't belong to her.
Just like that Hannah, it was a technique from the God of Light.
"John, what should we do?" Sini asked anxiously.
She and Elsa had fully fused with the treasures of the demon race and gods, significantly
boosting their strength, but they still couldn't compete with a demigod powerhouse. Wiping the blood from his mouth, John stared at Susan with confidence. "I can take this
woman down!"
Susan was strong, but she was nowhere near the level of that Beast King from the Orcs.
While he might not match her strength directly, with his Undying and Immortal talent and true damage, he could wear her down.
"Hmph, just you? Let's see how many times you can resurrect!" Susan scoffed, brandishing her twin swords as powerful light surged, charging at John once more.
"Get back!" he warned the two women as a massive dark power surged. He unleashed his skill,
Dark Descent.
An expanse of dark power enveloped the area.
Having reached the seventh tier, his Dark Descent skill had been upgraded to level 11, reducing
the enemy's attributes by 32% while enhancing his own dark magic damage by the same
amount.
"Annihilation!" he shouted softly, triggering the Spell Combo. Two Dark Orbs shot out with a howl, rapidly compressing until they transformed into two miniature black holes, voraciously devouring everything around them.
A flicker of panic crossed Susan's face as she was uncontrollably drawn toward the two orbs.
"Get away!" she yelled, unleashing a barrage of Holy Light that sliced toward the Dark Orbs.
Buzz!
The space trembled as the two beams of Holy Light were directly consumed by the black
holes, and the next moment, they exploded.
Boom...
-1,151,800
-1,151,875
Two damage numbers flashed, both representing true damage from dark skills.
Susan lost over two million health points, a mere drop in the bucket compared to her three
billion health.
"Hmph, you're not all that impressive," she said, glancing at the damage John had inflicted. Though shocked, it posed no real threat to her.
"Die!" she shouted, enveloping John in countless beams of Holy Light.
John, unsurprisingly, was instantly killed again.
Then, his Lifesaver talent triggered, along with The Tree of Life's life-sharing ability, rapidly
restoring his health.
The power of a demigod was terrifying; even a regular attack could easily finish him off.
He had no desire to dodge, choosing instead to tank Susan's attacks while unleashing a
furious flurry of light magic, dark magic, Sword Immortal skills, and Assassin skills.
All were methods that dealt true damage.
With the Three-Apertured Exquisite Heart talent, he could instantly release three skills. Coupled with the Wrath of the Gods talent, which reduced cooldowns by 90% and skill costs
by 80%, his skill attacks flowed without interruption.
Boom boom...
Magic surged, and the sound of sword intent resonated.
Each of John's skill attacks dealt between 800,000 and 1,100,000 damage to Susan. While her health pool was immense, she could not withstand such relentless bombardment.
"You bastard, how many times can you resurrect?" Susan growled in anger, once again
eliminating John and retreating swiftly.
She was beginning to feel afraid.
In front of her, John seemed fragile, easily killed; she had already defeated him over twenty
times, yet he resurrected without a scratch.
Meanwhile, she had lost over a hundred million health points. If this continued, she feared she might truly be worn down to nothing.
