Chapter 1372 Sneak Attack
“You cut me off back then. Since then, I’ve stopped appearing as you. Now I understand that from that day on, I became an individual completely different from you. It was I who narrowed my own path.”
As the ocean of thunder gradually faded away, Seboxia transformed into the true form within the Coffin.
With a gentle flick of the hand, an inexplicable ripple surged into the true form of Seboxia.
“Years ago, you cut me loose with the Pryncyp Blade, allowing me to become who I am today. Today, I repay you and spare your life. We’re even now!”
Seboxia, in his transformed state, spoke calmly to his true form. Then with a swift leap, he was already standing atop the coffin.
Within the sea of thunder ahead, Damoyed had now turned into a piece of charred wood.
Under the Lightning Tribulation, Damoyed, a cultivator at the stage of the Divine Realm, had completely lost his aura.
Seboxia slowly walked up to Damoyed, his gaze steady and unflinching as he looked at the latter’s lifeless body.
“You have obeyed my commands and helped me scheme for decades. In return, I have imparted all my skills and techniques to you. Our debts can be considered settled as master and disciple, right?”
Seboxia passed by Damoyed with life force stirring beneath his feet.
In the pitch-black underground, a hint of green appeared, and soon after, it seemed as if the entire land had come to life.
Plants sprouted from the ground, and just two steps later, the area had transformed into a dense forest.
The charred corpse on the ground, too, gradually revived amidst the majestic life force. Carried by the life force, it arrived in front of Jonathan.
The moment Damoyed opened his eyes, Jonathan kicked him straight into the ancient coffin and swiftly bound him with a formation.
Previously, the ancient coffin was temporarily seized from Jonathan’s control by the true form of Seboxia.
But now, since the true form of Seboxia had perished, Jonathan had once again gained control of the ancient coffin.
“Allow me to guide your spirit to the afterlife.”
Seboxia stood in the midst of the forest, extending a long tongue to lick his sharp teeth.
At this moment, Seboxia had completely abandoned his human form and returned to his most primal self.
Now, his only remaining life force did not linger outside the body. Instead, he used it to form his muscles and skeleton through transfiguration.
Endless spiritual energy surged toward Seboxia’s transfigured body and flowed into his veins, which were formed by his life force.
“You…”
Alec furrowed his brow as he looked at Seboxia’s transformation, his expression growing increasingly serious.
“Are you creating life?” Alec said somewhat incredulously.
At this moment, Seboxia completely abandoned his external form and began to replicate a true form using life force.
That was the pattern he was most familiar with. Even though an ancient beast like him had been doing the same thing for so long, he was still the most adapted to his own natural body among all the cultivation methods he had learned.
At this moment, Seboxia was creating with his life force and constantly evolving his true self.
Boom!
As a sound akin to a drumbeat resonated, Jonathan’s eyes widened in surprise.
At this moment, Seboxia’s transfiguration had fully solidified. The muffled sound was actually the beating of the heart that Seboxia had evolved.
Yet at this moment, what burst forth from Seboxia’s heartbeat was not blood, but an overwhelming life force!
“Impossible…”
Holding a charred wood stick, Alec yelled loudly at Seboxia.
Seboxia looked at Alec coldly, his eyes full of unmistakable greed.
“Since you are the founder of Sanctuary, you must surely know the location of the Remdik Emperor’s heart, right? Tell me, and I will grant you a quick death.”
The emperor’s heart was something that Seboxia had always been longing for.
Among the many conditions that Seboxia and Jonathan had previously agreed upon, there was one that involved stealing the emperor’s heart from Mount Enly.
Now that Alec, the founder of Sanctuary, was right in front of Seboxia, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Although Alec had the intention to retreat, he simply couldn’t bear to leave when facing the transformed Seboxia, Jonathan, and Joshua.
The grand purge outside had already begun. Whether the alliance between Sanctuary and the Collins family could succeed this time was hinged on the legacy within this small world.
After Michael’s death, Seboxia had resorted to his last resort. If Alec were to retreat at this moment, he might truly lose his final chance.
Streaks of thunder continuously gathered upon the trunk that Seboxia was gripping tightly.
“Seboxia, the emperor’s heart is in my hands. Come and take it if you dare!”
Crack!
Thunder roared.
Centered around Alec, a dazzling white light began to shimmer within a hundred-meter radius.
At this moment, Seboxia transformed while grinning widely. With a leap, he landed on all fours and charged into the electric plasma like a wild beast.
With his sharp claws, Seboxia seemed as if he could tear apart everything in the world.
The moment he plunged into the electric plasma, Seboxia forcefully tore apart the thunder in front of him with both hands and flung it aside like a piece of cloth.
“Take cover!”
Alec drove the charred piece of wood into the ground with his hand and forcefully stepped on it, embedding it deep into the earth.
The earth cracked open with the charred piece of wood as the center.
The electric plasma flowed through the cracks in the ground. In the blink of an eye, it formed a large formation spanning tens of meters.
“Die!”
With a loud yell, Alec formed a seal with both hands and activated the Thunder Formation to firmly bind Seboxia in his transfigured state.
“Ancient beasts? You’re nothing more than a beast. Even if you’re blessed by the heavens, you can never become human!”
With a cold laugh, Alec moved his hands in a complex hand seal gesture, causing the Thunder Formation to contract.
All of a sudden, the sound of Jonathan’s voice came through from behind him.
“Idiot!”
Before Alec could react to the curse, a massive chessboard carried by a gust of wind slammed into his back.
Bang!
It was a sudden and unexpected sneak attack. Even a powerful deity like Alec couldn’t react in time.
Alec wanted to dodge, but he was too late. All he could do was shield his head. Like a kicked ball, Alec was sent flying forward.
“Jonathan, you’re asking for death!!”
In mid-air, Alec turned his head and shouted loudly.
But in the next moment, a hand gently patted the back of his head.
Alec’s eyes widened as he looked at Jonathan. The sound of Seboxia’s eerie laughter faintly echoed in his ear.
“Divine space!”
Amidst numerous restraining barriers, Seboxia transfigured himself to set a trap.
Alec was completely dragged into hell by this slap.
Jonathan picked up the bronze handbell above his head. With a firm grip, he pressed it onto the charred wood that was nailed to the ground.
The spirit shield of the bronze handbell could block all energy except for the Great Pryncyp.
The moment the handbell was lowered, the surrounding electric plasma vanished instantly.
And so, the forms of Seboxia and Alec emerged within the electric plasma…
