Chapter 39: A Huge Disaster Has Been Caused! (End of Volume 12)
The Saint-level experts who had been maintaining order immediately retreated to the riverbank, while the gathered onlookers stared wide-eyed in shock. The sudden death of Bloom had already stunned the ordinary people, as they had witnessed him flying.
Bloom was a Saint-level expert, yet he had been killed without any chance to fight back.
To the ordinary people, this was simply unbelievable.
That was a Saint-level expert!
At this moment—
With a ferocious expression, Beaumont charged toward Olivia, his deep cyan battle knife howling through the air as he slashed directly at him. But what awaited him was Olivia’s dazzling sword strike!
Darkness and light coexisted!
“Bang!”
The battle knife and the frozen longsword clashed, and a terrifying shockwave violently spread downward. The entire surface of the Borsa Dike exploded with a loud “bang,” cracking open before turning into fine powder. The top meter of the Borsa Dike was completely pulverized and blown away, revealing the pitch-black stone beneath.
The Borsa Dike had remained unbroken for ten thousand years precisely because of this unique material.
The shockwave plunged downward, causing the surface of the entire Yulan River to sink abruptly before erupting with a thunderous explosion. Countless water droplets splashed in all directions like arrows, striking people and causing them to cry out in pain as blood seeped from their wounds.
Immediately, the large crowd gathered on the riverbank panicked and rapidly retreated backward.
“Hmm~~” A peculiar white-glowing ripple shot out from Desri’s head. This white-glowing ripple moved at incredible speed, instantly reaching Beaumont, who let out a pained low growl.
“These bastards.” Beaumont glared at Desri and Olivia in the distance.
He had miscalculated!
He had originally thought that Desri and Olivia, having just become gods, would be weak and easy to deal with. But who would have guessed… that Olivia’s sword strike just now was even slightly stronger than his own slash? As for Desri, he was even more troublesome with his bizarre soul attack.
“Want to kill us? Dream on.” Olivia’s face was icy cold.
Linley also glanced at Desri, silently marveling: “Desri cultivates the soul aspect within the Light Elemental Laws. Now that he’s become a god, his soul attacks are truly hard to defend against. Even Beaumont suffers a bit.”
Desri’s greatest strength was the soul!
“Linley, I can handle this Beaumont alone,” Olivia transmitted telepathically, full of confidence. Then, Olivia instantly transformed into a streak of light, crossing space in a flash to appear before Beaumont.
“Bang!”
A swirling, wave-like gray mist immediately emanated from Beaumont’s body, spreading over an area of dozens of meters.
“Swoosh.” Olivia immediately flew back.
His face pale, Olivia retreated and quickly transmitted: “Be careful! The gray divine power on his body contains a strange force. The moment I got close, my whole body felt weak—very eerie.” Olivia took a deep breath, and his complexion gradually improved.
Desri and Linley were secretly alarmed.
Linley knew that having reached the level of a Demigod for so long, Beaumont surely possessed some formidable attacks.
“Haha…” Beaumont let out a wild laugh, his eyes fixed on Linley and the other two, filled with murderous intent. “It seems I underestimated you. If I don’t show some real skill, killing you will indeed be difficult. Now, prepare to die.”
With that, the gray mist around Beaumont surged mightily as he charged straight at them. His target remained Olivia and Desri!
Olivia and Desri wore solemn expressions.
“Hmm~~” Desri once again shot a white-glowing ripple from his head, sweeping toward Beaumont.
But this time, Beaumont acted as if nothing had happened, and his battle knife, shrouded in gray light, slashed like lightning directly at Olivia.
“Hah!” Olivia roared, forming a protective shield of light and dark divine power on his body. Then, a black-and-white sword light flared up. Space immediately cracked, and the black-and-white sword light collided with the cyan battle knife. A series of impacts rang out—
“Not good!” Linley sensed trouble.
A faint cyan figure suddenly charged in.
Countless eerie purple sword lights flared up, spawning numerous spatial cracks—it was the Wind’s Stance: Dimensional Blade! The countless purple lights, each a dimensional blade, stabbed out simultaneously, momentarily halting even Beaumont’s fierce assault.
“How bizarre.” Linley’s heart trembled.
He felt that Beaumont’s battle knife had transformed into layers of surging waves crashing toward him, and he was like a small boat in that tide, on the verge of being engulfed at any moment. Moreover, this “wave of blades” contained a strange deathly aura that constantly affected his soul. If his soul were weak, the mere influence of this deathly aura would likely leave him dizzy and powerless to resist.
“Retreat.” After unleashing the “Wind’s Stance,” Linley immediately grabbed Olivia and flew back.
Olivia’s face was pale. His soul wasn’t as strong as Linley’s, and the deathly aura affected him greatly. Desri was even more shocked—his attacks had become completely ineffective.
Above the Borsa Dike on the Yulan River, Linley, Desri, and Olivia hovered side by side in midair, all sensing that things had taken a turn for the worse.
“I have no way to deal with him anymore,” Desri transmitted to Linley and Olivia.
Linley said nothing. Desri was only skilled in soul attacks, but since the enemy could easily resist them, what else could Desri do? Linley looked at Olivia and transmitted: “Olivia, do you have any other way to handle Beaumont?”
Olivia narrowed his eyes and replied telepathically: “I have one final strike. After using it, my mental energy will be completely drained, and my soul will be weakened, leaving me unable to attack further.”
Linley nodded inwardly.
“You still want to kill me?” Beaumont laughed wildly. “You, the one with soul attacks—your soul attacks aren’t bad, but I, Beaumont, don’t even fear the Great Sorcerer, so why would I fear yours? Your abilities are far inferior to the Great Sorcerer’s!”
Linley recalled the Great Sorcerer’s attack.
If not for the damaged divine artifact and the cyan droplet, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the Great Sorcerer’s final desperate strike.
“As for you, with the black-and-white hair,” Beaumont said, convinced he had already won, “using both light and dark divine power at once is certainly unique. But a simple sword strike like that—if I, Beaumont, couldn’t block it, I’d have been killed long ago in the plane prison.”
“A simple sword strike? Hmph, one strike is enough to kill you.” Olivia gritted his teeth.
He was ready to go all out.
“Haha…” Beaumont laughed in fury. “Fine, if you want to die, I’ll grant you death.” The gray power around Beaumont surged again, like an endless tide that directly engulfed Linley, Desri, and Olivia.
Linley’s heart hardened.
“Kill!”
With a ferocious expression, Olivia charged forward ahead of Linley, holding his frozen longsword. Linley followed without hesitation. Both Linley and Olivia had decided to use their ultimate moves!
“Haha~~” Beaumont laughed wildly as he swung his deep cyan battle knife.
The deep cyan battle knife transformed into countless blade shadows, forming a tidal wave of blades that swept toward them.
At the same time, Beaumont’s eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and a faint red hue appeared within the deep cyan wave of blades. Although Linley had started later than Olivia, his speed was faster, so he engaged Beaumont first.
“Kill the black-haired kid and seriously wound this Linley,” Beaumont thought, no longer holding back. But suddenly, he was shocked to see an extraordinarily dazzling purple light flare up before Linley, accompanied by a soft sound like a flute.
The sound was beautiful.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent, leaving only the gentle flute-like sound.
“Clang!”
The purple sword light collided with the wave of blades, but a blood-red illusory sword shadow shot out from the Purple Blood Soft Sword, directly entering Beaumont’s mind. Beaumont’s soul was extremely powerful, and once he controlled his mental energy, he could form a barrier to defend himself.
Even against the Great Sorcerer’s ultimate move, Beaumont was confident he could at least survive.
But…
The gentle flute sound caused Beaumont to sink into it for an instant, preventing him from controlling his mental energy to form a barrier. That instant was precisely when Linley attacked, and when the blood-red illusory sword shadow shot out!
The blood-red illusory sword shadow easily pierced through the ocean of mental energy that had no barrier.
“Ah!” Beaumont snapped back to reality only when the illusory sword shadow pierced his mental energy ocean.
But it was too late.
The blood-red illusory sword shadow directly struck Beaumont’s divine spark. The divine spark trembled violently, and the illusory sword shadow finally exploded… The soul within the divine spark was shattered into pieces. Beaumont’s eyes instantly went blank.
His soul had scattered!
Naturally, the wave of blades also stopped.
Speed’s Essence—Wind’s Whisper!
“Die!” Olivia, only a fraction of a second behind Linley, unleashed his ultimate strike. In the battle between divine-level experts, the gap between them was minuscule. Just as Beaumont died, Olivia’s sword arrived.
A dazzling black-and-white frozen longsword, surrounded by a transparent membrane, appeared. Outside the transparent membrane, countless spatial cracks formed.
This strike was undoubtedly Olivia’s strongest since becoming a god.
“Pfft!”
The black-and-white sword light directly knocked the cyan battle knife away, then flew out, easily splitting Beaumont’s body from head to toe. Clearly, cutting through Beaumont’s divine body consumed almost no energy, and the black-and-white sword light continued downward.
“Thud!”
Like an axe chopping a tree, the black-and-white sword light struggled to cut into the pitch-black stone of the Borsa Dike. Olivia’s ultimate strike was too powerful. It finally managed to split the ten-thousand-year-unbroken Borsa Dike in two with great difficulty.
“No.” Olivia, his mental energy completely drained, stared in shock at Linley.
When his attack met Beaumont’s and easily split him in two, Olivia realized… Beaumont was already dead. Clearly, before Olivia’s strike, Beaumont had died. After all, his sword had split Beaumont in half with almost no energy loss.
“Linley, you killed him?” Olivia asked in surprise.
“Just a bit faster than you,” Linley said, waving his hand to collect the flying divine spark, divine artifact, and space ring.
Desri also flew over, his face full of smiles: “Linley, you…” But before he could finish—
“Boom!” The Borsa Dike, already split in two by Olivia, suddenly exploded into countless fragments. Even Olivia’s full-strength strike had only barely cracked it, yet now it burst apart.
“Haha~~~ Ten thousand years, and I’m finally back!!!”
“Yulan Continent, over a million years, and I, Roka, have returned, haha~~~”
“Yulan Continent, I’m back!”
“I’m back!”
“I’m back!!!”
Like a swarm of locusts, countless figures surged out from beneath the Borsa Dike, flying in all directions.
“Thank you, little ones,” a voice echoed in Linley, Desri, and Olivia’s minds. This scene completely stunned them. The auras of those countless powerful beings made Linley tremble with fear.
“Boom!” A black-robed figure appeared high in the sky.
Instantly, space froze.
“Lord Beirut.” Linley immediately recognized the figure as Beirut. Beirut’s expression changed drastically. He extended his right hand, which transformed into a massive black palm that slammed downward, plunging directly into the area beneath the Borsa Dike.
The endless stream of figures emerging from below was cut off like a river.
“Lord Beirut.” Linley, Olivia, and Desri were utterly bewildered.
Beirut’s face was ashen as he looked at the three of them: “You have caused a huge disaster!!!”
