Chapter 1358 Another Deal
Boom!
As the chess piece fell, a massive mountain peak descended from the sky without warning, landing heavily next to Michael.
The earth quaked violently. Michael swiftly dodged to the side but was still swept off his feet by the impact of the falling mountain peak.
Roar!
A roar of fury echoed from that mountain peak.
Michael looked up, only to see a giant black bear with enormous tusks appearing between the mountain peaks.
Blastearth Ursine?
Michael looked at the monster that appeared, his face slightly stunned. The next moment, he turned and ran.
Above his head, three more mountain peaks were crashing down in succession.
Around him, four towering peaks firmly sealed off the four directions.
Beneath the other three peaks, three more demon beasts appeared one after another.
They were Blastearth Ursine, Southern Serpent Koa, Bloodswallow Skyhawk, and Celestial Dragonfang Leopard.
These four demon beasts, all of which only existed in ancient texts, were extremely ferocious creatures that had long been extinct. Yet, they have all appeared here now.
“It’s all an illusion!!”
With a loud roar, Michael stomped his right foot down. His spiritual energy surged skyward, transforming into an endless spiritual pressure that radiated in all directions.
No one knew exactly what Pryncyp Michael had come to understand.
However, when it came to understanding the use of spiritual energy, Michael was the strongest person Jonathan had ever seen.
As the spiritual pressure dissipated, the steps of the four demon beasts simultaneously halted.
In the next moment, under that terrifying spiritual pressure, they completely exploded into a mist of blood.
“Even if you were to drain all your spiritual energy, it would be impossible for these mere things to harm me in the slightest.”
Standing outside the chessboard, Jonathan looked at Michael in the chessboard coldly.
“How about this move?”
Jonathan reached out his hand and gestured forcefully toward the back. Behind him, a hundred-meter-tall giant, entirely composed of life force, leaped up and stomped fiercely toward the chessboard.
Beyond the chessboard, one had to look up to see the giant.
At this moment, the formation on the chessboard was highlighted, appearing more majestic than ever.
In Michael’s eyes, the giant’s figure had already blended into the white clouds, stirring up a storm with every casual movement.
High above in the heavens, the colossal figure, brandishing an enormous blade, descended, cleaving through the expanse of clouds forcefully.
The blade spanned across the sky, falling like a star, leaving no room for escape.
Beneath the endless spiritual pressure, Michael’s clothes fluttered. In his wake, the boundless spiritual energy coalesced, forming an immense phantom of a serpent.
“Attack!”
In the moment Michael swung his sword, the phantom python soared into the sky, colliding with the descending giant blade.
A powerful spiritual explosion unfolded on the chessboard, destroying all the formations that had been solidified on it.
“Jonathan!”
Michael looked at the restored scenery around him and the chessboard beneath his feet that had lost its luster as a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
“If you don’t have any tricks up your sleeve, you might as well be dead!”
At this moment, Jonathan, having been backlashed by the spirit explosion, had already suffered severe internal injuries.
Even though the life force within the body was continuously healing, it was still impossible for him to stand up for now.
Michael strode toward Jonathan, lifting the long knife in his hand and resting it on Jonathan’s shoulder.
“The person that the Collins family has decided to annihilate, must certainly meet their end.”
He swung his sword, and Jonathan’s head rolled off.
Michael looked toward Alec in the distance, only to see him clapping and laughing heartily.
Michael pointed the long knife directly at Alec and said, “Alec, it’s your turn now.”
However, Alec was not at all flustered. He just kept waving his hand and said, “A God Realm playing tricks on a Divine Realm. Why didn’t I capture this moment? Collins, are you a fool?”
Upon hearing Alec’s words, Michael also realized that something was amiss.
He looked down at his feet, but Jonathan’s corpse was nowhere to be seen.
The figure that fell to the ground was nothing more than a substitute made entirely of mud.
Just then, Michael felt a heavy blow from behind. Before he could react, he found himself kicked into a massive coffin.
“Unite!”
Suddenly, Jonathan’s voice rang out. Michael tried to roll away, but the coffin lid slammed shut with a bang, blocking out all the light from outside.
On the chessboard, Jonathan’s figure was disheveled.
Just now, he had withstood that powerful spiritual explosion with nothing but his physical body. Although he could still stand at this moment, there was not a single part of his body that remained unscathed.
Even his chest and abdomen were so gravely injured that one could see through his body to the other side. If an ordinary person had sustained such injuries, they would have surely died several times over.
Yet, against all odds, Jonathan in front of him was still hanging on, clinging to life.
The life force was frantically healing his body. After a few dozen seconds, Jonathan’s breathing steadied again, and all his injuries were completely healed. His skin was as tender as a newborn baby’s.
“Your skills are impressive, somewhat similar to the Holy Blood of Sanctuary,” Alec commented with a chuckle as he walked up to Jonathan.
As Jonathan reached out with his left hand, intending to tap into the remaining life force, Alec gripped his hand tightly.
“There’s no need to waste your inheritance as I have no intention of fighting you. Why bother?”
With a smile, Alec looked at Jonathan, then slowly let go of Jonathan’s wrist.
Jonathan looked at the founder of Sanctuary in front of him with a troubled expression, completely unable to fathom what the latter was planning to do.
He abducted Ksana and uncovered many secrets of Sanctuary. Consequently, Sanctuary sent nearly twenty divine cultivators to pursue and intercept him.
This was the ideal moment to eliminate him, so Alec shouldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
At this moment, Alec fell silent, circling around Seboxia’s coffin. Afterward, he gently knocked on the lid of the coffin.
“This is something remarkable. My consciousness can’t even penetrate it.”
Upon seeing that Alec truly had no intention of starting a fight, Jonathan slightly let down his guard.
Rising to his feet, he slapped the ancient coffin. The coffin emitted a burst of light, then shrank to a little over a meter in length before he hoisted it onto his back.
Alec’s gaze was filled with envy.
“This thing isn’t affected by external influences, right?”
“Correct.”
Upon seeing Alec accurately describe the characteristics of the coffin, Jonathan no longer held anything back.
Jonathan regarded Alec with a solemn expression. “I need to know, are you truly planning to attack us? If you want to fight, I’m with you till the end. But if you don’t want to fight, we can leave right now.”
Alec couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing the solemn expressions on their faces.
“Of course not. Even if dozens of you confront me, you’re no match for me. As I mentioned earlier, once you manage to defeat Michael, our scores will be settled. I won’t break my promise. What I wish to negotiate with you is a different arrangement!”
