Chapter 461: Chapter461-Searching for a Target

Outside the Forbidden Zone, adventurers continued flying out one after another.

A faint golden light shone in John’s eyes as he swept his gaze across every powerhouse who escaped.

He found no suitable targets worth plundering.

They were all relatively poor, ordinary adventurers.

There was no point in bullying people like them.

Besides, John was currently at the critical stage of refining the Forbidden Zone, so he had no interest in wasting time on these adventurers.

As for the adventurers themselves, every one of them fled the Forbidden Zone in sheer terror.

The moment they escaped, they immediately pushed their speed to the limit.

Not one of them dared stop even for a second.

Some adventurers, however, did not immediately leave after escaping.

Instead, they joined the crowd gathered outside the Forbidden Zone and stared up at the mysterious powerhouse hovering in the sky.

Discussions quickly broke out among them.

"Is that guy trying to refine the Forbidden Zone?"

"A Forbidden Zone can actually be refined?"

"This is the first time I’ve ever heard of something like that."

"Wasn’t that mysterious powerhouse the one who killed the Ianser Beast and Oren God King just now?"

"The vast cosmos truly is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Especially now, with the cosmic calamity approaching, some extraordinary powerhouse seems to emerge every so often and shock the entire universe."

"For that mysterious powerhouse, effortlessly killing the Ianser Beast and Oren God King was probably nothing more than a trivial matter."

"But he actually dared to make a move inside this Forbidden Zone."

"He even seems to have suppressed members of the Tarlon Covenant."

"That debt definitely won’t be forgotten. There’s no way the Tarlon Covenant will let him off so easily."

"Now there’s going to be a real show. Let’s see how Tarlon’s side reacts."

Although John was extremely far away from the spectators, he heard every word of their conversation clearly.

"Tarlon..."

"Heh."

John sneered inwardly.

As far as he knew, the Tarlon faction relied on nothing more than Ancestor Tarlon, a God King-level powerhouse.

"With my current strength, no matter what kind of powerhouse I face, I’m already in an unbeatable position."

"So what if he’s a God King..."

John was not afraid in the slightest.

He continued refining the Forbidden Zone.

Soon, the refinement progress bar reached completion.

[Ding! Congratulations, refinement complete.]

[Notification: You have successfully refined the Forbidden Zone.]

[Notification: This Forbidden Zone cannot be stored inside your personal space or dimensional inventory.]

"It’s finally refined."

John raised his eyes.

The vortex of the Forbidden Zone still existed before him.

Yet somehow, he could now sense that everything inside it was under his control.

It was almost as though the Forbidden Zone was him—

and he was the Forbidden Zone.

"Of course the Forbidden Zone can’t fit inside my personal space or dimensional inventory."

John’s inventory was nearly infinite in capacity, while his personal space was practically comparable to a small world.

However, the Forbidden Zone itself was comparable in scale to a great world.

It was far too enormous to be contained by either his inventory or personal space.

"But something this minor is hardly a problem."

"My main Law is Space-Time Law, after all."

John smiled faintly.

He extended his palm.

His hand remained exactly the same size as before, yet ripples of Spatial Law suddenly appeared across his palm.

Then he reached toward the Forbidden Zone.

The surrounding powerhouses were completely baffled when they saw what John was doing.

"What is that mysterious powerhouse trying to do?"

"His hand is so small, while the Forbidden Zone is enormous."

"Don’t tell me he actually intends to grab the Forbidden Zone with his bare hand?"

Countless spectators immediately fixed their gazes on John without blinking.

John stretched out his hand and touched the Forbidden Zone.

The instant his palm made contact, ripples of Spatial Law spread outward and enveloped the entire Forbidden Zone.

Then—

whoosh!

The enormous Forbidden Zone suddenly shrank to the size of a walnut before vanishing completely.

The second stage after refining a Forbidden Zone allowed its owner to freely control its size.

The smaller the Forbidden Zone became, the greater its density and the more unstable it would be.

Even then, however, neither an inventory nor a personal space could contain it.

But John possessed Spatial Law.

Using his own flesh and blood as the foundation, he opened up an extraordinarily stable space comparable to a great world.

Just like that, he safely stored the entire Forbidden Zone inside himself.

At the same time, with a single thought—

the Forbidden Zone’s detailed attributes appeared before him.

[Forbidden Zone] (Refined)

Type: Innate Forbidden Zone

Effect: All-Purpose

Exclusive Owner: John

Binding: Bound / Cannot Be Dropped

Special Effects:

Can contain living beings. Can extract the myriad Laws contained within. Can be self-detonated. The resulting power is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a God King-level powerhouse. Can be used offensively. Smashing it into an enemy can destroy entire galaxies. Can be used defensively, absorbing Law-based attacks as well as various other forms of damage.

Description: A Forbidden Zone naturally generated by the Will of the Universe. It possesses incredible power and countless applications, limited only by the wielder’s imagination.

John’s eyes lit up after reading the Forbidden Zone’s attributes.

A good treasure.

This really was a good treasure.

Although it could not compare to the Chaos Bell, it was still extraordinarily valuable.

The Forbidden Zone was an all-purpose treasure.

It could attack.

It could defend.

It could store living beings.

And if things truly became desperate, it could even be self-detonated.

The resulting explosion would be equivalent to a full-strength strike from a God King-level powerhouse.

It was definitely a rare treasure.

Its effects were so useful that John suddenly felt the urge to refine every Forbidden Zone in the entire universe.

At that moment, the surrounding spectators erupted into astonished discussion.

"He really was trying to store the Forbidden Zone just now!"

"And he actually did it with one hand?"

"Is this what they mean by ’all you need is a pair of hands’?"

"This is ridiculous! It’s already extremely difficult for us to contain even a single world within ourselves, yet he casually stored an entire Forbidden Zone with one hand."

"As expected of someone capable of instantly killing Oren High God. His strength is absolutely heaven-defying!"

Just then—

several terrifying auras suddenly erupted from the east, soaring into the heavens.

Although those auras had initially been extremely far away, within just two breaths, they had already drawn close.

John was the first to sense them.

"High God-level auras..."

"And there’s far more than one or two."

"They’re probably powerhouses from the Tarlon faction."

"Looks like they’ve come looking for trouble."

John’s guess was correct.

The group approaching from the east was led by Kaine High God of the Tarlon faction.

Alongside him was an entire group of spoiled descendants from the great factions of the current universe.

In only a few breaths, they had already arrived near the Forbidden Zone.

By now, the many spectators had also noticed the disturbance in the distance.

"High Gods!"

"There are so many High Gods!"

"I see them! That’s Kaine High God, the only son of Ancestor Tarlon!"

"So Ancestor Tarlon didn’t come personally this time..."

"Kaine High God is famous for his explosive temper."

"I heard that before Ancestor Tarlon became a God King, Kaine High God once had an engagement broken off by a powerful clan."

"Kaine considered it the greatest humiliation of his life, so he cultivated like a madman."

"After eventually becoming a High God, he returned to that clan and forcibly took back the woman who had broken off their engagement—even though she was already married by then."

"Holy crap..."

"That’s brutal."

"This guy really is ruthless."

"Look at the people beside Kaine High God."

"They’re all High Gods!"

"Those are all second-generation descendants from the major factions of the current universe. Every single one of them has an extraordinary background."

"So does that mean the mysterious powerhouse is in trouble again?"

"Hmm..."

"Hard to say."

"That mysterious powerhouse is far too strong. He’s already surpassed what we can comprehend."

"No one can say for sure what’ll happen."

John had already put away the Forbidden Zone.

If he truly had no intention of fighting—

he could have left long ago.
