SWNOVELS Chapter 197: Greed
What was going on?
The Sacred Lord of the Sacred Mountain and the Dark Master of the Dark Palace were both shocked at the same time.
With their peak Divinity Phase strength, they could retreat a dozen meters in the blink of an eye.
However, the moment they moved, a powerful attraction started to pull them back.
Jacob's two palms were facing them like two black holes.
As if they were going to devour them.
"Damn it. How could the darkness swallow the light?"
The Sacred Lord was shocked.
At this moment, his entire body was emitting blazing light to resist the enormous attraction from Jacob's palm.
However, no matter how hard he resisted, it was in vain.
The blazing light around him began to be torn apart and devoured by Jacob.
His vigorous Zhen Qi was coming out from his body and heading towards Jacob.
"What the hell is going on? Why do I get the feeling that I'm no longer the lord of darkness in front of him? It seems like he's the real one."
The Dark Master was more shocked than the Sacred Lord.
He cultivated the power of darkness. However, facing Jacob, he felt powerless.
The darkness around him was devoured by Jacob. His Zhen Qi was out of his control, being drained away by Jacob little by little. Jacob wasn't just devouring their Zhen Qi. They could feel that their flesh and blood were being pulled away from them little by little. "Damn it! You give me no choice!"
The Sacred Lord could no longer remain calm in the face of this weird situation.
Then, a scepter suddenly appeared in his hand.
In the scepter, there was a ball of dazzling light.
This was his magical artifact - the Sacred Scepter.
It was also a sacred artifact of the Sacred Mountain.
"Go to hell!"
Although the destruction of the Sacred Scepter would cause his strength to plummet, the Sacred Lord still tossed it out.
He was going to detonate his own sacred artifact.
When Jacob saw the scepter, a gleam flashed across his eyes.
This item was interesting.
The ball of light in the scepter was similar to the golden statuette Jacob had obtained from the Goldsmith family in the capital city. It contained the power of faith.
This scepter was more advanced than the golden statuette, and the power of faith in it was purer.
What Jacob didn't know was that this scepter was the sacred artifact of the Sacred Mountain, and the Sacred Mountain was the most sacred land in Myanmar. Every day, a large number of believers would go there for worshipping.
This was why the power of faith in the scepter was so pure.
Jacob did not know that, but it did not affect his judgment.
"You want to detonate it? It's not gonna happen!"
Jacob snorted.
"Collect!"
With that, Jacob made a gesture to grab, and an illusory palm appeared out of thin air to grab the scepter.
When he was holding the scepter, he also contained the energy on the verge of explosion.
"Damn it. What's going on?"
The Sacred Lord was once again shocked.
He wanted to detonate his sacred artifact to destroy Jacob and cut off his bizarre devouring and attracting power, but he failed.
How could Jacob be so powerful?
The Sacred Lord was in despair.
Just as he was about to call for help, the devouring attraction from Jacob's palm suddenly disappeared.
The Sacred Lord and the Dark Master heaved a sigh of relief.
They wanted to retreat again.
They were dejected.
This was in stark contrast to the time when they were confident in taking down Jacob and gaining the upper hand. However, just as they heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to retreat again.
They felt a greater sense of danger.
Their scalps went numb and they were horrified.
They didn't have much time to think. The Zhen Qi in their bodies had reached to the extreme at this moment. However, the moment they turned around, they found them facing a terrifying force that could distort the void.
Jacob clapped his palms, which were like black holes that could devour everything.
All of the energy he had devoured was compressed to the extreme and erupted.
The Divinity Phase experts in the distance, including Scarlet Blood, Tri-life Daoist, and Takashi, were shocked.
This power was as strong as a small nuclear weapon.
The Sacred Lord of the Sacred Mountain and the Dark Master of the Dark Palace felt more clearly than anyone else.
They were using all the strength they had got.
Trying to escape.
However, the two beams of energy that Jacob had shot out were traveling faster than the sound, as if they were teleporting. Soon, they enveloped the two men.
In the air, an intense explosion sounded.
The explosion created high air waves.
The floor outside the Ullr Palace was paved with high-grade materials, but at this moment, the explosion had caused it to crack, and small pieces were flying everywhere.
The Sacred Lord and the Dark Master turned into two bolts of lightning, flew into the air and then smashing into the ground.
The ground trembled again.
The three halls in the Ullr Palace trembled slightly.
Two large holes appeared on the ground.
In the pit, the Sacred Lord and the Dark Master were deeply planted into the ground.
Their clothes were torn apart by the terrifying energy, and the remains could barely cover their bodies.
The skin exposed in the air was mutilated, looking miserable.
This result stunned the hundred Divinity Phase experts at the entrance.
Scarlet Blood and Tri-life Daoist hadn't expected this.
When the battle started, they could tell that the Sacred Lord and the Dark Master were no match for Jacob even though they had joined forces.
However, they had no intention to help them. They were competitors. Since those two men wanted to gain the upper hand, they were happy to see them forced into a desperate situation by Jacob. As peak Divinity Phase experts and the masters of the two great forces, they must have saved some trump cards up their sleeves.
When Jacob put them into a desperate situation, they would be forced to show their trump cards. Moreover, they would suffer serious injuries. After that, they would no longer be a threat. Meanwhile, with them testing Jacob's strength, the others would learn more about him.
However, the crowd had never expected that the Sacred Lord and the Dark Master would have lost so quickly.
"Trash!"
Scarlet Blood said.
Krish and Valerie looked at Jacob and their faces turned gloomy.
They looked at each other again and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Jacob wasn't so strong when he was outside the Pharmacy Pavilion.
At the time, Jacob was able to defeat them, but it was not so easy.
But now, in the blink of an eye, he had severely injured two peak Divinity Phase experts.
What was the move Jacob just made?
They could tell that the Sacred Lord and the Dark Master were injured by their own power.
Jacob had absorbed a large amount of their Zhen Qi and somehow compressed it to the extreme. Then, the Zhen Qi exploded.
A single shred of power at the peak Divinity Phase would be very powerful. When that much amount of energy was gathered and compressed, the power of a sudden burst was beyond imagination. Otherwise, with the strength and physique of the two peak Divinity Phase experts, they wouldn't have been severely injured by that single blow.
Both Krish and Valerie shuddered involuntarily. If Jacob had used this move against them back then, they would have ended up as miserable as the Sacred Lord and the Dark Master.
No, maybe, Jacob hadn't learned this move back then?
Could it be that he had obtained some cultivation techniques from the Ullr Palace?
An idea struck Krish and Valerie.
They exchanged glances and read each other's minds.
More than half of the Divinity Phase experts shared the same thoughts with them. They were all looking at Jacob with greed in their eyes.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
