74: Chapter 74 Soul Attack!
Necropolis of the Gods, 15th floor.
A dull aura of destruction erupted.
It was like an invisible mountain, pressing down heavily on the Void Realm within a radius of ten thousand meters.
"Boom!"
The tattered broadsword in the hands of the man in ragged armor brought forth a streak of tragic black light.
Space, like fragile porcelain, shattered layer by layer wherever the sword edge reached.
This was no longer mere swordsmanship, but the material collapse caused by the Laws of Destruction condensed to the extreme.
Allen Dawson's eyes were calm, and the longsword in his hand instantly lit up with a scorching red glow.
Midgod Divine Power of Fire permeated his body, wrapping around the sword blade.
"Clang!"
The two swords clashed.
Violent ripples of power erupted from the point of impact.
Below, the red Dead Sea was instantly blasted into a deep pit with a radius of a thousand meters by the shockwave.
Allen Dawson used the force to retreat, his toes tapping continuously in the Void Realm.
The opponent's power was as heavy as an entire material plane smashing into him.
"A top-tier Five-Star Fiend." Allen Dawson quickly evaluated in his mind.
He hadn't expected to encounter an opponent of this level so quickly.
On the other side, the man clearly hadn't expected this strike to be blocked.
His sandpaper-like voice sounded again.
"Good defense."
"But destruction... is more than this."
As soon as the words fell, the broadsword in the man's hand suddenly turned into countless afterimages.
Each afterimage devoured the surrounding light, obstructing Allen Dawson's vision.
This was the intent of decay within the Laws of Destruction.
Allen Dawson not only felt the pressure on his Physical Body but his high-level god artifact for soul defense also began to tremble slightly.
It was a silent annihilation aimed at the Divine Soul.
Allen Dawson was not alarmed but delighted.
He came to the Necropolis of the Gods this time specifically for this feeling of pressure on the verge of death.
The existence of the heaven rewards diligence system allowed him to convert every second of combat into concrete insight values.
"Slash!" Allen Dawson shouted in a low voice.
His sword blade brought forth a fire dragon thousands of meters long.
The fire dragon roared, crashing into that black light of destruction.
The sky full of fire waves intertwined with the pitch-black sword shadows.
Allen Dawson's speed was extremely fast.
He continuously wove through the overlapping gaps in the Void Realm.
Every time he struck, he precisely pierced the weakest node of the man's broadsword power.
"How is this possible?"
The man's eyes finally showed fluctuation.
He was a Highgod who had immersed himself in the Laws of Destruction for tens of thousands of years.
How could this Midgod before him be on equal footing with him in the application of the Laws?
Moreover, the angles of the opponent's attacks were extremely tricky, completely unconventional fighting techniques.
At this moment, Allen Dawson had entered a state of self-forgetfulness.
He could feel the Mysteries of his Fire God Clone jumping wildly.
Especially the [Flame Space].
In this environment filled with the aura of destruction, the Domain of fire was being compressed to the limit.
Compression to the extreme meant a qualitative change.
The man was forced to retreat continuously by Allen Dawson, his face turning gloomy.
He was a true Five-Star Fiend; losing to a Midgod would be an utter humiliation.
"Sending you to your end."
The man suddenly opened his mouth.
A streak of pitch-black light shot out from his mouth.
The speed of the light was so fast that even Allen Dawson didn't react in time.
That was a Soul attack!
It carried the destructive poison that corroded the Divine Soul.
Allen Dawson had nowhere to dodge.
"Hum—"
The high-level god artifact for soul defense in his mind shone brightly.
The black light hit the defensive barrier, making a sizzling sound.
Although it blocked it, the intense impact still caused Allen Dawson's Divine Sense to flicker for a split second.
At that very instant, the man's broadsword had reached Allen Dawson's neck.
"It's over."
A cold, dead silence appeared in the man's eyes.
Just as his sword edge was about to sever Allen Dawson's throat, the corners of Allen Dawson's mouth curled up.
He had been waiting for the opponent's most proud move.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger cub?
Under that heavy hammer of a blow just now, Allen Dawson's Soul had unexpectedly captured a strange rhythm.
So, that's how a Soul attack can be played.
"Nirvana."
Allen Dawson uttered two syllables in his throat.
The longsword in his hand didn't defend.
Instead, it turned into a tiny, almost transparent red light.
The red light directly pierced through the suppression of the broadsword and instantly sank into the man's brow.
This move had no fireworks.
The man's movements stiffened.
The broadsword was less than a centimeter away from Allen Dawson's skin.
But this last centimeter became an eternal distance.
The man's eyes quickly dissipated.
His Divine Soul, condensed like iron, was like melting snow meeting a scorching sun before Allen Dawson's "Nirvana."
"This..."
"This is not a material attack..."
This was the man's last thought.
He collapsed with a boom, his body turning into ash in mid-air, leaving behind only a black Godspark and a space ring.
Allen Dawson stood where he was, his chest heaving slightly.
He didn't pick up the spoils of war immediately.
Instead, he sat down cross-legged.
That moment of inspiration was more precious than killing a hundred Highgods.
He kept replaying the trajectory of that transparent red light in his mind.
It was another way of combining the [Profound Mystery of Scorching Heat] and the [Profound Mystery of Burning Annihilation] within the Laws of Fire.
A means of Soul reaping unique to Allen Dawson.
The red Dead Sea gradually returned to its deathly silence.
Half a day later, Allen Dawson opened his eyes.
He pressed his fingers together and swiped gently at the distant sea surface.
A transparent ripple flashed by.
"Splash!"
The seawater, thousands of meters deep, was instantly evaporated by the invisible power, revealing the red sand and stone of the seabed.
"The power is decent." Allen Dawson muttered to himself.
With this Soul attack, Nirvana, even if he encountered a Six-Star Fiend who excelled in material defense, he would have a way to kill them.
Allen Dawson collected the Godspark.
He sank his Divine Sense into the other party's space ring.
Besides a large amount of ink stones and some Divine Artifacts, he found a pitch-black bone.
The bone emitted a faint aura of death.
Although this thing was not a Divine Artifact, it was definitely a treasure for those cultivating the Laws of Death.
"Pity, I don't Cultivate the Laws of Death." Allen Dawson shook his head.
He stood up and swept his Divine Sense in all directions.
The fifteenth floor was even more vast than he had imagined.
These Highgods scattered everywhere were his best experience packs.
For the next month, Allen Dawson became a god of slaughter.
He wandered continuously between the red Dead Sea, the withered forests, and the bone altars.
Whenever he met a Highgod, he would start fighting directly, regardless of whether the other party was willing.
There was a Highgod proficient in Destiny Rules who wanted to confuse him with illusions.
As a result, he was slashed ten thousand times by Allen Dawson's Heaven Burning move.
There was also a Highgod of the Earth element who excelled in material defense.
Allen Dawson directly cast Nirvana, blowing up his Divine Soul instantly.
On this day, Allen Dawson stopped at the top of a desolate mountain range.
He summoned the System panel.
