Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

The Shadowflame Seed grew with the wind, quickly reaching a diameter of ten meters. 

After annihilating the Bone Serpent, the level of the Shadowflame Seed had reached Level 4. 

Its attributes had once again significantly increased:

[Shadowflame Seed (Divine Item): …] 

[Current Level: 4] 

[Attributes: Perfect control over Shadowflame, capable of single-target attacks and area damage. When attacking a single target, it inflicts 55% true physical damage and 60% true magic damage in a single instance. In an area attack, it inflicts 30% true physical damage and 45% true magic damage on enemies within 3000 yards.] 

[Mana Consumption: None] 

[Cooldown Time: 10 minutes]

With a slight thought from John, the fully expanded Shadowflame Seed suddenly released numerous clusters of fist-sized Shadowflames. 

Under John's control, these flames constantly fused in mid-air, eventually merging into a black flame dragon that was only a few tens of meters long.

It was fortunate that after the Shadowflame Seed was upgraded to Level 4, John could perfectly control the Shadowflame. 

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to fully merge these flames in such a short time.

The Dark Flame Dragon roared and directly met the divine power spear that had thrust towards it. Both flew at extreme speed in mid-air. 

Wherever they passed, space shattered and the explosive sound was deafening.

In an instant, the Dark Flame Dragon and Evil Judgement Spear collided heavily.

"BOOM!"

A noise akin to the sky collapsing instantly reverberated throughout the entire subspace. 

Even powerhouses like John and Leviathan had to temporarily seal their hearing; the noise was just too deafening.

The enormous energy shockwave shattered a whole expanse of space around them, with the two forces intertwining and turning that space into a quagmire.

Leviathan stood calmly in the distance. 

Despite panting heavily, there wasn't the slightest worry on her face. 

She was very confident in the skill she had released. 

Even though the release of the Evil Judgement Spear had consumed most of the divine power in her body, as long as it could eliminate her enemy, the skill's release was well worth it.

No choice, Divine Talents also differ in effectiveness. 

The Evil Judgement Spear is, after all, a high-level God's gift. 

And Leviathan is just a lower-tier god; she is bound to pay a certain price for its release. 

Moreover, after the Dark Erosion, the power of the Evil Judgement Spear had become even greater, and the divine power consumed naturally increased as well.

Leviathan stared intently as the two energy forces continued to intertwine and clash in the distance. 

The shattered space fragments were ground into dust, tightly encasing those two forces. 

Even a deity like Leviathan couldn't penetrate the space fragments to see exactly what was happening inside.

Gradually, a look of perplexity appeared on Leviathan's face. 

How could so much time have passed without the Evil Judgement Spear completely obliterating that human's skill? 

Her formerly composed demeanor gradually froze, eventually turning into astonishment and confusion. 

That's because the shattered space in front of her was slowly healing itself. 

The originally immense energies seemed to dissipate together.

The Evil Judgement Spear failed to break through that human's skill; both the Dark Flame Dragon and Judgement Spear were annihilated simultaneously... how could this be possible?

Leviathan's lush lips parted slightly, and for the first time ever, she revealed an expression of disbelief. 

The Evil Judgement Spear is a high-level god's gift, and coupled with the erosion of darkness, it encompasses both Holy Light and Evil attributes. 

Its power is immense; even Leviathan herself couldn't withstand this level of damage. 

How on earth did that human do it?

"What's the matter? You seem pretty surprised... ever thought that I could unleash a gift of this caliber too..." John's indifferent voice echoed from afar, laced with a hint of mockery.

Leviathan suddenly looked up, her eyes blazing as she fixed them on the Shadowflame Seed in John's hand, which had returned to its original size. 

She finally realized something was off.

"That energy just now... was it the Shadowflame only the Abyssal Demon clan can control?" Leviathan roared out in a piercing voice.

John gave a slight smile and teasingly replied, "What do you think?"

Leviathan's face instantly darkened, and when a deity gets angry, the heavens and earth change color. 

The gray smog above the entire space began to roll violently. 

A fierce gale howled past, sweeping all the rubble from the ground into the sky.

"It has to be the Shadowflame, no doubt about it. So, what you have there must be the legendary Shadowflame Seed that can control the Shadowflame..." 

Leviathan's voice was brimming with extreme cold, coupled with a hint of hard-to-detect fatigue: "So, who exactly are you? Why can you even master the forbidden secrets of the Abyssal Demon clan?"

John just smirked without giving any answer.

Leviathan, as if suddenly realizing something, her face dramatically changed, her eyes filled with undisguisable terror.

"Controlling multiple deity powers...ignoring factions, no distinction between Justice and Evil... You, are you the legendary Godslayer?!"

Suddenly, Leviathan spread her wings and slid hundreds of meters backwards, wishing to put as much distance between herself and John as possible. 

The fallen angel no longer held her initial arrogant demeanor of having everything under control. 

She looked like a frightened rabbit, her face full of panic.

Hidden behind the Asura Mask, John's face broke into a peculiar smile. 

This formerly haughty fallen angel, upon guessing his class, had shown such a pathetic reaction? 

Could the title of Godslayer really instill such fear in deities?

John murmured to himself in his heart, completely oblivious to what being a Godslayer meant to those deities.

Deities reside in the Divine Realm, looking down upon the Godslayer Continent as its true rulers. 

Born from the world itself, they embody divinity, vie for mortal faith, manipulate the lives of mortals at will, but never consider their own downfall. 

That's because no being can kill them.

Even the once-in-ten-thousand-year war among the gods, whether it's The Devil from the Abyss or other deities from the lawful and righteous factions, could only severely injure their opponents or seal them away, but could never completely obliterate their adversary.

Like The Devil, Azazel...

That was until the appearance of the Godslayer class on the continent. 

This class seems to exist solely to hunt deities. 

Every emergence results in the downfall of countless deities.

This explains why Leviathan became so flustered upon discovering John's identity... 

To those high and mighty deities, the Godslayer is their one and only nightmare.

Leviathan looked at John as if she were looking at a devil. 

"Since you have mastered the powers of so many deities, it must mean countless deities have fallen at your hands... It seems the rumors are true after all, the Godslayer devours the powers of the deities he hunts... My luck must be at its worst, I finally escaped only to encounter the legendary Godslayer... Endless darkness, I have worshiped you so faithfully, why do you let me face such an unjust fate?"

John tilted his head, his eyes growing even more peculiar. 

What was this Fallen Angel babbling about? 

When did he ever hunt countless deities? 

Apart from The Devil Azazel sealed in the Godslayer Temple, he had only ever encountered Leviathan...

However, upon seeing the terrified look in Leviathan's eyes, John had no intention to explain further. 

Right now, the divine power within Leviathan had nearly run out, and the HP value above her head was less than half. 

This was the perfect opportunity to strike her down while she was weak!

John quickly absorbed the Shadowflame Seed into his body, his figure flickered, and he appeared directly in front of Leviathan. 

Seeing John getting closer and closer, a hint of desperation flashed in Leviathan's eyes. 

Although she had fallen into darkness, her divine essence still existed, and her mind hadn't completely descended into chaos. 

She knew she was outmatched and that she should try to preserve her own life at this point.

Leviathan had heard that the deities who fell at the hands of the Godslayer had no chance to retain their divine souls, their powers completely devoured by the Godslayer. 

She had barely managed to escape from the sacrifice seal, and she didn't want to meet such a fate.

Leviathan suddenly slashed her arm with the massive sword in her hand, allowing her godly blood, filled with an endless Evil aura, to flow out. 

The eerie runes that covered her arms were quickly covered by her divine blood. 

As the runes soaked up the divine blood, an inexplicable fluctuation suddenly radiated from Leviathan, and this subspace started to collapse, seemingly disconnecting from the main world of the Godslayer Continent.

John's eyes slightly narrowed, recognizing this as Leviathan's final escape tactic. 

If she managed to sever the connection between the subspace and the main world, escaping into the void, he would undoubtedly be forcefully ejected from here due to the world's rejection. 

Finding Leviathan again would then become incredibly difficult.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of John's mouth, hidden behind the Asura Mask. 

Escaping from him? 

That wasn't going to be easy. 

John extended a finger and with a gentle tap, a streak of dim light burst forth, immediately stabilizing the collapsing space.

To her horror, Leviathan found that she had lost control over the Divine Realm's space. 

She looked around, only to find the surrounding light retreating and all the basic elemental orders completely locked down. 

Abyssal Prison was activated!
