Chapter 678 Apparition
Jonathan had inherited the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique by chance. It happened when he hadjust joined the military and was serving under Quilton Army at Harfush.
Back then, Hades was but a regimental leader. Quilton Army wasn’t able to hold itself against itsopponent which was triple in size. Thus, they could only retreat into the mountains while engaging inintermittent fights.
Jonathan’s company was tasked with delaying enemy troops to buy more time for the main troops. Thecompany retreated as they fought, and Jonathan ended up being the sole survivor.
While fleeing from the enemies, he fell through a hole beneath a river by accident. The hole started offbeing the width of a well, but there was a cave the size of a basketball court after passing through it.
Within the enclosed space, Jonathan found nothing aside from a corpse that sat upright. Another objectthat caught his attention was a jade slip that was glowing in the dark.
After he reached out to touch the jade slip, he felt as if a cool stream flowed through his arm beforeseeping into his mind. Within an instant, it eradicated all of his negative feelings, including hunger, fear,and panic.
He was so focused on leaving the place alive that he didn’t pay attention to all that had happened andmerely assumed that the place was a tomb that saved his life.
It wasn’t until he thought back on it that he realized it was a retreat for someone that went intoseclusion during ancient times.
Somehow, that person didn’t manage to emerge from his period of seclusion and passed away insideinstead. Meanwhile, Jonathan obtained that jade slip by a twist of fate and inherited the divine
knowledge it contained.
After Jonathan was out of danger, he returned to seal the cave lest somebody else disturb the eternalrest of the deceased.
According to the introductory chapter, the technique was passed down from ancient times, but nobodyknew who exactly created it.
It was also mentioned that it was the later generations who named the technique according to the sigilof the Sacred Dragon which could be found in the introductory chapter.
The contents of the text spanned various topics, including but not limited to the basics of the technique,cultivation methods in general, spells, pill-making, and weapon-refining.
Fast-forward to then, the spell that Jonathan was casting was Five Elements of the Dragon Deity, whichwas one of the most basic spells within the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
Although he had no idea what ancient times might look like, the fact that even the most basic of movesrecorded within the text required wielders to have achieved God Realm was proof of the spell’s sheerpower.
During previous battles, Jonathan didn’t get the chance to cast such a complicated spell.
After all, not only did it consume a lot of energy, but the process of it was slow too.
Moreover, the opponents he faced were all extremely skilled, and none gave him the chance to castsuch a spell.
After Jonathan’s chanting, the shattered ice that was dispersed around them began to bob in the water.
Aidan and the rest could sense danger coming from beneath, prompting them into action anddispersing.
Despite their speedy retreat, Jonathan’s spell was even quicker.
Following an explosion, countless tornadic waterspouts broke out from the water surface aroundJonathan and shot upward into the skies.
Water droplets fell from the skies amidst the chilly northern winds.
By the next instant, the droplets merged to form countless eerie-looking triangular blades with scalysurfaces.
“Slice them up!”
Jonathan waved his arm with all his might, and the blades floating mid-air began soaring at a manicspeed.
Initially, the soaring eerie blades merely picked up speed gradually.
Aidan and the rest who were within their vicinity had to dodge and duck. Although they were fumbling,they weren’t injured.
However, after a few seconds, the blades drew silver lines that spanned across the skies, arrivingbefore their targets within the blink of an eye.
On the riverbank at the sidelines, Sawyer stared at the sight above the river and his gaze was filledwith astonishment.
Even though he was also a cultivator, the sight before him was beyond his understanding.
For all that Sawyer knew, cultivation was a mere means to strengthen the human body by ingestingspiritual energy found in nature.
Even though those who had reached Grandmaster Realm could transform their surroundings usingtheir spiritual energy, Sawyer was mindblown when he witnessed Jonathan’s unpredictable techniques.
Meanwhile, Karl had a solemn look on his face.
When he had broken through into God Realm, he, for a moment, had assumed that his skill was finallyon par with Jonathan’s.
That was what he based his choice to defect from Asura’s Office so that he ventured out on his ownpath.
However, he only came to know how big a mistake he had made.
He never was on par with Jonathan.novelbin
Just as Jonathan said, he could kill him at any moment if he wished to.
On the ice, the eerie blades were still manically making their way toward Aidan and the rest.
Even if they wished to launch themselves forward to kill Jonathan, they had to first get past thecountless ice blades.
Jonathan’s spell was an extension of elemental spells.
While standing on the ice floes with the running waters of River Onxy beneath him, it was easy forJonathan to cast a water-based spell. Although it would also consume a lot of his spiritual energy, hecould, in turn, create countless blades.
Although Aidan and the rest could easily avoid the ice blades by retreating to the riverbank, the catchwas that they couldn’t do that.
There were only six people engaged in the fight, but there were hundreds and thousands of peoplewatching from both sides of the river.
There were even spies, bribed by various factions, studying everything closely at the headquarters ofboth armies.
Jonathan was up against three of them, so they would be embarrassing Remdik if they retreated.
Thus, their only choice would be to push forth.
Followed by a spurt of blood, Aidan let out a roar. Pure spiritual energy erupted from his fist andcleared out a ten-meter pathway before him.
Alexander sprang into action right away, running on the surface of the water.
Due to his immense speed, his thrust set off a series of huge waves across dozens of meters as if abomb had exploded.
Four spiritual senses clashed as the waves obscured everyone’s view.
An energy slash sliced through the waves, aiming for Jonathan’s head.
“Converge!”
Jonathan cast a spell as he leaped backward. Drops of water quickly converged next to Antoine’s body.Within moments, Antoine’s body and the gigantic waves behind him were frozen into a solid wall of ice.
After glancing at Antoine’s blade that almost touched his forehead, Jonathan procured his HeavenSword and pierced it toward Antoine’s throat.
Ding!
After a crisp noise, a speck of light at Antoine’s chest grew increasingly brighter while he was stillfrozen in the ice.
The chilly ice shattered into fine particles that filled the skies.
On the frozen river, Aidan, Alexander, and Antoine knelt on the ground on one knee.
Countless specks of light began to merge mid-air as an overwhelmingly terrifying aura emerged.
Jonathan took out his bronze handbell before leaping backward in a flash.
Back on the riverbank, he stared at an apparition of more than ten meters tall hovering while stillholding Heaven Sword.
The apparition of an elderly man was watching him condescendingly.
