Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

The strength of Celestial Vault was utterly baffling. Even without the support of the Demon's Sky Formation, he was not at all at a disadvantage when facing two Emperor-level experts.

Boom...

At that moment, the surging sea raged violently, wreaking havoc on World-in-Hand.

John snapped back to reality and immediately threw the Divine Tree into the sea, calming the Endless Sea.

Then, he swiftly activated his divine skill, Creation and Destruction, stabilizing the damage caused by the three-way battle, which had been relentlessly destroying World-in-Hand.

The powerful flames of the Heaven Laws, Chaos Force, and the dark power of the Heaven Laws intertwined, mercilessly annihilating everything in their path.

John and the others withdrew to a distance, unable to intervene in the battle between the three.

"I am the Heaven! Today, all of you shall die!" Celestial Vault's arrogant voice rang out, his overwhelming aura filling the air. With the power of just one person, he easily suppressed the two Emperor-level experts.

So powerful!

John's face tightened, his eyes fixed on Celestial Vault. The power this man was wielding was definitely not just the dark power of the Heaven Laws.

Nine Phoenix and Chaos were already at a disadvantage, hurriedly defending themselves.

If this continued, defeat seemed inevitable.

John's heart raced. Celestial Vault's abilities were too unpredictable. If Nine Phoenix and Chaos were to lose, no one here would escape.

"John, more Emperor-level experts are coming. Quickly retract your World-in-Hand!" Gaka's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

More Emperor-level experts?

John was taken aback but didn't doubt Gaka's words. His mind raced as he immediately withdrew World-in-Hand into his body, leaving behind only the Endless Desert.

In the distance, powerful auras filled the air, and two figures swiftly approached.

The aura they exuded was no weaker than that of Nine Phoenix and Chaos.

The newcomers were two elderly men. One wore a black robe, his white beard and hair disheveled, with an ambiguous, obscure aura. The other wore a blue robe, his spirit sharp and energetic, radiating an ethereal presence, though there was a hint of malice in his gaze.

These were likely the other two Emperors, the Demon Emperor and the Void Emperor.

John couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With two more Emperor-level experts appearing, Celestial Vault was certainly no match for them. Even if they couldn't kill him, they would at least prevent him from destroying the Endless Desert.

"Stop right there!" A furious roar sounded, and both figures attacked simultaneously, each striking at Nine Phoenix, Chaos, and Celestial Vault.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, both sides were blasted back, separating from each other.

Nine Phoenix transformed into human form, her willow-like brows furrowed. She stared coldly at the two newcomers and said, "Demon Emperor, Void Emperor, what is the meaning of this?"

"Hmph, two old fools. I advise you not to interfere in my matters," Celestial Vault sneered, showing no respect for them whatsoever.

Even when facing four Emperor-level experts at once, he was not the least bit afraid.

The Demon Emperor's face darkened, his expression cold and heavy as he glanced at Celestial Vault. "We had an agreement. Emperor-level experts and Celestial Vault are not to interfere with each other. Have you forgotten?"

Nine Phoenix took a step forward, her tone icy. "It was Celestial Vault who attacked my Fire Phoenix City first. Am I not allowed to fight back?"

Celestial Vault sneered dismissively. "My son is dead. That agreement means nothing to me. Demon Emperor, Void Emperor, I'm giving you both face—stay out of this, or I'll kill you along with them."

He took a step back, his gaze cold as he stared at the group, ready to strike at any moment.

John was astonished. This guy wasn't just arrogantly bold—what kind of backing did he have to challenge four Emperor-level experts so confidently?

The two old men were clearly angered but didn't dare to openly clash with Celestial Vault just yet.

The Void Emperor took a deep breath, his expression calm. He spoke evenly, "Now is not the time for us to tear each other apart. The Heaven Divine Stele is about to appear. We must join forces."

"What? The Heaven Divine Stele is about to emerge again?" The others exclaimed in shock, their eyes turning to the Void Emperor with disbelief.

"The Heaven Divine Stele? What's that?" John asked curiously, turning to Sword Demon and whispering.

Sword Demon shook his head slightly and explained in a low voice, "It seems to be something used to comprehend The Heaven, but only those with the power of nine stars are eligible. I'm not sure of the details myself."

He was only at the peak of eight stars and was not qualified to comprehend the Heaven Divine Stele.

The group fell silent, each wearing a serious expression. No one seemed inclined to make a move.

Celestial Vault's voice was icy. "I can overlook the past, but this human killed my son Black Raven. He must die today."

He turned his gaze to John, his killing intent palpable.

"Impossible!" Nine Phoenix immediately stepped in front of John without hesitation. "Black Raven dared to attack Fire Phoenix City. He got what he deserved. As long as I'm here, you won't lay a finger on anyone here!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Celestial Vault sneered. The immense power of the laws surged around him, ready to strike.

"Wait." The Demon Emperor quickly stopped him, glancing at John. Upon seeing that he was merely a weak eight-star expert, his expression remained indifferent, as if he hadn't even taken notice of him.

He spoke, "Celestial Vault, how about this? Spare this human for now. In the future, if you wish to deal with him, we will not interfere."

He didn't care at all about John's life or death. It was just that Nine Phoenix seemed to value this human, and with The Heaven Divine Stele about to emerge, he didn't want any distractions.

Celestial Vault cast a cold glance at the group, but in the end, he chose to compromise.

"Fine. I will spare this human for now. But when we meet again, I will kill him, and no one will stop me. Let's go!" He gave John a cold look, waved his hand, and led the remaining army away from the Endless Desert.

The group couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

John, however, furrowed his brows. He hadn't expected Celestial Vault to be so terrifying, completely unafraid even when facing four Emperor-level experts.

This guy definitely wouldn't let him off the hook. It seemed like staying here any longer wasn't an option.

Lost in thought, John decided it was best to head toward Nine Phoenix's or Chaos's territory.

"Demon Emperor, Void Emperor, how did you get this information? When will The Heaven Divine Stele appear?" Chaos turned to the two of them and asked.

The Demon Emperor waved his hand dismissively and replied lightly, "No rush. There's still something else to take care of."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to John, his expression haughty. "Not long ago, The Heaven Laws appeared in the Endless Desert, which means someone underwent the Emperor Thunder Tribulation. But why is it that I didn't detect the aura of a newly ascended Emperor?"

Nine Phoenix's expression shifted slightly at his words. In the end, this matter hadn't been kept hidden.

She looked at John, feeling a tightness in her throat, her expression tense.

The Emperor-level experts already knew about it. If they investigated further, John wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

She was about to speak, but Chaos Emperor stopped her, shaking his head gently.

"Senior, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you really think I could kill an Emperor-level expert?" John spoke calmly, locking eyes with the Demon Emperor. He had a vague feeling that this person was targeting him.

"Hmph, you don't know?" The Demon Emperor sneered coldly. "Kid, Leviathan has already sided with me. Otherwise, how would the Endless Desert be untouched? Leviathan's aura disappeared right after crossing the Emperor Thunder Tribulation. Then you began refining the Endless Desert. Don't tell me this has nothing to do with you?"

Leviathan has sided with the Demon Emperor?

John was taken aback. No wonder Dark City hadn't taken any action against the Endless Desert.

He could feel that the Demon Emperor was deliberately targeting him—perhaps because he had refined the Endless Desert, or maybe because he wanted to gain Celestial Vault's favor.

John replied indifferently, "Since you've already decided that I killed Leviathan, why bother with all this talk?"

"Heh, very well!" The Demon Emperor chuckled with fury, glaring at John. "Boy, don't accuse me of bullying the weak. If you can block my strike, I'll spare your life."

"John, don't!" Nine Phoenix immediately interrupted him, speaking calmly, "Demon Emperor, this matter was my doing. It has nothing to do with John."

The Demon Emperor furrowed his brows. He knew that John couldn't possibly have killed Leviathan.

The Demon Emperor's intention was clear: he wanted to kill this human, reclaim the Endless Desert, and give Celestial Vault an explanation.

However, Nine Phoenix admitting it at this moment made things complicated for him.

Emperor-level experts were forbidden from killing each other, and with The Heaven Divine Stele soon to emerge, he didn't want to make an enemy of Nine Phoenix just yet.

He spoke directly, "Nine Phoenix, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Damn…" John couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He had only suspected that this guy was targeting him earlier.

Now, he was certain that this bastard was absolutely going after him.

With his strength, it was impossible for him to kill an Emperor-level expert. And considering that the Demon Emperor could tell something had happened to Leviathan, he surely guessed that it was Fire Phoenix who was responsible.

"Heh..." John sneered disdainfully, staring at the Demon Emperor. "Since you already know it was me, why waste time with all this talk? Isn't it just about blocking one of your strikes? Bring it on!"

He took a step back, provocatively waving his hand.

"Arrogant!" The Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent. He was about to make a move, but Fire Phoenix Emperor stepped forward to block him.

She stood in front of John without giving way, coldly saying, "Demon Emperor, I've told you already. It was I who killed Leviathan. If you dare touch this human, you'll have to get past me first."

Chaos Emperor said nothing but silently moved to stand beside John.

"Nine Phoenix, Chaos, I really underestimated both of you," the Demon Emperor said, narrowing his eyes. A powerful aura surged around him, both light and dark, as he revealed that he wielded the power of both Light and Dark Heaven Laws.

The Heaven Laws were not like regular laws—they were incredibly difficult to combine, especially when the two powers were so diametrically opposed.

John had once tried to merge the Dark Heaven Laws with other attributes, but it had been impossible.

The Void Emperor also took a step forward, coldly eyeing Nine Phoenix and Chaos, clearly ready to take action as well.

John quietly asked, "Seniors, are you two capable of dealing with these two?"

"No," Nine Phoenix answered bluntly. She continued, "I can't let you take the blame for me."

John felt a slight warmth in his heart, though Nine Phoenix Emperor hadn't said this before.

He took a step forward and spoke, "Seniors, I appreciate your goodwill. But Leviathan was indeed killed by me."
