Chapter 368: Three Slash Series, Sea's End

"Hmm!" The old man didn't say anything again and focused on stabilizing himself. He knew that he couldn't underestimate this young man in front of him. After all, he was fighting against the most talented man existence in the whole universe.

Since the Three Slash Series wasn't enough, Jin Rou was preparing to cast the second slash of the said series. However, because of too much dark and polluted qi here, he needed to convert it first to a pure qi and channel it to his technique. Thus, it resulted to him being not able to cast it quickly as he could.

"Activate!" The overlord seemed to have sensed the rapid changes in Jin Rou's vicinity and assumed something big was going to happen. So, he immediately used a system and released a black scroll.

"!" Jin Rou was instantly alarmed because he could feel the overwhelming darkness of this scroll. It looked like it had sealed millions, no billions, of raging and hating souls.

"Revenge of the Dead." The overlord murmured under his breath. Then suddenly, the scroll opened up and truly, countless souls in death appearance appeared from it!

The souls were going to Jin Rou with their hands stretched forward. They howled in madness as they charged towards their target, as if they were about to devour him.

"Tsk." Jin Rou couldn't help but click his tongue. He knew that these souls wouldn't be touched again by any attacks he made unless he attack the caster.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Jin Rou kept on evading and fleeing the chasing souls behind him. He was using his full speed to bypass them, however, they seemed to be inexhaustible and would only stop if their target had been reached.

"Looks like I really have no choice." Jin Rou gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's get this on. Activate!"

Then, a small white stone appeared out of nowhere. It looked like the finest pearl from the sea. Then, it suddenly flashed with blinding light that blinded everyone and everything.

This system was called Redemption and it only had a limited use so Jin Rou was trying not to use it. He was feeling that he would need to save it for the later to come. But he had no choice. It's either he use it or to be devoured by the souls filled in hatred.

The souls that caught this light had vanished all of a sudden and left the place with an eerie silence.

"…" The overlord was speechless for a moment before saying, "I didn't expect that His Majesty has a Redemption Pearl. Truly, you are the epitome of talent. You are not a shame in your family."

He paused for a second before continuing, "However, the stone is only one-time usage. I wonder if you got any more of that stone?"

It was true. The Redemption Stone could only be used once and it would disappear upon usage. It contained the utmost level of light energy that could suppress any darkness. However, the another con of this stone was its very limited supply. Even their family only had a few, as people who was capable of creating it was also few in numbers. Of course, the celestial family had also tried to get the procedure of how it was made. But the light existences had begged them, saying that let them do that job instead.

The family had no qualms about this so they agreed. Besides, the light existences had helped them for too long and so much since time immemorial. Thus, they owe them a debt.

"You're going to die either way, whether I answer that question or not." Jin Rou didn't give a confirmation or denial about the overlord's question.

"I see, so that's the first and last one you have." The overlord smirked and concluded, "Your Majesty, it seems that fate is on my side right now."

"Whoosh!" Then, the overlord disappeared all of a sudden. After a split second, he appeared once again but in front of Jin Rou!

"!" Jin Rou instantly used all of his strength to back off. However, an invisible palm shot towards his chest with a speed he couldn't see and was thrown away like a kite with its strings snapped.

"Boom!" Jin Rou bumped into a thick wall and almost puked blood. Though he wasn't that seriously injured, the fact remained that this overlord had dealt damage on him that it almost made him spurt blood.

"That is one of my powerful attacks that even transcendences need to weigh themselves before receiving it. Well, as if they have a choice though." The overlord expressed his admiration towards Jin Rou and said, "However, to Your Majesty, it only dealt a bit damage. Truly deserving of being a celestial king."

The old man was speaking with leisure even after saying those words. It was like as if he wasn't afraid as he had a hidden trump card that he could use against Jin Rou. Remember, even from the start, he already knew the other party's identity yet he didn't flinch even a bit.

"Are you done talking?" Jin Rou caught his breath and said, "If you are, can you die now?"

"Oh?" The overlord was interested, "Does His Majesty has something for me?"

"Wham!" The lightning sword raised upwards and revealed a sea of lightning energy all over the place. Jin Rou smirked and said, "Yes, I have something for you. And please gladly receive it!"

"Three Slash Series, Sea's End!" Jin Rou shouted and swung his sword.

"Bam!" Then, the sea of lightning circulated and shook the entire world. It then became a torrential maelstrom that could annihilate everything in this world. It contained the power of the billions of creations and worlds beyond the mysteries.

"!" The overlord revealed a horrified expression for a second and almost blurted out a curse. This power, he could feel that this power was more overwhelming compared to that when Jin Rou used his first slash.

Once again, he activated all his defensive treasures and formations to deal with this incoming terrifying attack.
