Chapter 464: Chapter464-The Terrifying John

Besides feeling fortunate to have escaped, Kaine High God was also overwhelmed with grief.

His father, Tarlon God King, spent almost all his time cultivating and had rarely ever paid much attention to Kaine.

The old servant, on the other hand, was the one who had truly watched him grow up.

To Kaine, that old man was far more like a real father.

Many of his techniques, combat skills, and cultivation methods had been taught to him by the old servant.

It was no exaggeration to say that the old servant was practically his adoptive father.

Having lacked a father’s companionship since childhood, Kaine had always respected the old servant deeply.

Yet now—

that old servant had sacrificed himself for Kaine and died at John’s hands.

The realization tore Kaine apart.

His heart felt as though it had been ripped open.

An intense hatred surged through him.

He wished he could immediately drag his father out of seclusion, have him suppress John, and then personally step forward—

to skin John alive and tear him apart.

But before any of that could happen, he first had to escape this danger.

When powerful beings fought, they almost never allowed their enemies to survive.

Therefore, Kaine could only stop and send a message to his father after reaching somewhere truly safe.

And in the entire universe, what place could possibly be safer than beside a God King-level powerhouse?

At this moment, Kaine High God was fleeing faster than he ever had in his entire life.

He raced straight toward the cosmic plane where Tarlon God King was cultivating, not daring to waste even the slightest amount of time.

As expected of a High God-level powerhouse, Kaine’s speed was terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed millions of miles.

As long as I can reach Father, I won’t have to worry about being killed anymore.

Although Kaine had no idea whether that mysterious powerhouse would actually chase after him, he did not dare gamble on it.

In his heart, John’s level of danger had already risen to nearly the same level as that of a God King.

Kaine did not even dare confront him once more.

Only after returning to his father’s side would he finally feel safe.

At that moment—

Rip!

Space suddenly split apart.

A figure stepped out from the spatial tear.

It was precisely the location Kaine High God had passed through moments earlier.

John spread out his Divine Sense.

He immediately sensed Kaine entering a secret-realm-type plane.

His figure flashed—

and disappeared again.

By the time he reappeared, John had already entered the secret realm as well.

"Father!"

"Save me!"

Inside the secret-realm world, Kaine High God could no longer care about anything else.

This was where Tarlon God King cultivated.

The instant Kaine appeared, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

At almost the exact same moment—

John appeared.

He directly blocked Kaine High God’s path.

However, he did not attack immediately.

Kaine High God might have been fast...

but he was still no match for the Phoenix, renowned for possessing the greatest speed.

John possessed the complete Phoenix Dharma Manifestation.

In the end, he had still managed to intercept Kaine High God inside this secret realm.

However, there was also an incredibly deep and oppressive aura within this place.

Even John felt a trace of pressure from it.

"That should be Tarlon God King."

"So this High God in front of me is actually Tarlon God King’s son."

After hearing Kaine’s shout just now, John immediately understood.

Whoosh!

A burly figure suddenly appeared.

He positioned himself directly between John and Kaine.

The newcomer was none other than—

Tarlon God King.

Tarlon God King’s gaze burned like torches.

He merely glanced at John once before his expression changed drastically.

He blurted out in shock,

"It’s actually you!"

John’s entire body was shrouded in Law power.

Only a God King-level powerhouse could see through it.

Naturally, Tarlon God King was capable of seeing John’s true appearance.

Yet for some reason, the moment he recognized John, visible shock appeared on his face.

John raised an eyebrow but did not think much of it.

The Cosmic Tournament had been broadcast throughout the myriad universes, including countless universes across different timelines and dimensions.

There was practically no God King-level powerhouse who did not know John.

So after Tarlon God King saw John’s true appearance—

such a reaction was perfectly normal.

"You killed powerhouses of my Tarlon faction, took away the Forbidden Zone belonging to my faction, and even chased my son all the way here..."

Tarlon God King stared deeply at John and said solemnly,

"Isn’t this going a little too far?"

Previously—

he had sensed his son leading a group of High Gods to cause trouble for John.

Yet Tarlon had not intervened.

The reason was simple.

He was wary of the faction standing behind John.

And now, after seeing John’s true identity, he was not only wary of the Skyvault Consortium behind him—

he was even more wary of John himself.

John was currently ranked first in the Cosmic Tournament.

Barring any unexpected developments, the champion of this final Cosmic Tournament would undoubtedly be John.

And once he obtained the opportunity awarded to the champion—

an opportunity coveted by countless powerhouses throughout the cosmos—

breaking through to the God King level would be effortless.

Even taking another major step after reaching God King would not necessarily be impossible.

More importantly—

John was already terrifyingly strong right now.

He suppressed High Gods as easily as crushing ants.

That alone proved he possessed enough strength to contend with God King-level powerhouses.

If Tarlon fought him personally, who would win was still uncertain.

And there was another problem.

Powerhouses at their level usually possessed clones or avatars.

Even if Tarlon somehow managed to defeat John here and suppress his current body—

John might still have other clones elsewhere.

Once John eventually broke through to the God King level, Tarlon would be facing a catastrophic enemy.

No matter how he looked at it, provoking John was a terrible bargain.

Whether he won or lost—

there was almost nothing to gain.

That was precisely why Tarlon God King had watched his son being chased without making a move against John.

Tarlon God King’s attitude immediately stunned Kaine High God standing behind him.

His father was a God King!

Yet he—

was actually trying to reason with a mere peak High God?!

He killed members of our Tarlon faction.

Fine.

He took away our Forbidden Zone.

Fine.

He even killed Old Sir.

Fine!

But Father—

he was chasing me down to kill me!

Kaine High God was deeply dissatisfied.

However, he did not dare voice those thoughts aloud.

He merely stared wide-eyed, completely unable to understand why his father was treating this mysterious powerhouse so cautiously.

This wasn’t how things were supposed to go!

Shouldn’t his father simply raise a hand and suppress the mysterious powerhouse on the spot?

"The Forbidden Zone never had an owner to begin with."

John spoke calmly.

"The Forbidden Zone was naturally created by the Will of the Universe."

"It was not created specifically for any particular faction or individual."

"Your Tarlon faction merely relied on its strength to seize and occupy it."

"In that case, why can’t I rely on my strength to take it from you?"

Even while facing a God King, John remained completely calm.

"The powerhouses of the Tarlon faction spoke disrespectfully to me."

"What is wrong with me suppressing them?"

"As for your son—"

John glanced toward Kaine.

"He led a group of High Gods here to suppress and kill me."

"If I kill him in return, that is only natural."

John looked back at Tarlon God King.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"You’re twisting logic!"

"You’re talking bullshit!"

The hot-tempered Kaine High God suddenly roared.

"Which Innate Forbidden Zone in the universe isn’t occupied by some faction?"

"It’s not as though the Tarlon faction is the only one doing it!"

"What, are you planning to challenge every faction that controls a Forbidden Zone now?"

"If you hadn’t killed members of the Tarlon faction first, why would I have come looking for trouble with you?"

Kaine immediately turned toward Tarlon God King.

"Father, there’s no point talking to him anymore!"

"Just suppress him!"

"If we don’t suppress this man today, how will the Tarlon faction ever maintain its footing in this universe?"

"We’ll become a laughingstock to every other great faction!"

"And Old Sir..."

Kaine High God’s expression became filled with grief and fury.

"He died because of me!"

"Father!"

"You have to avenge Old Sir!"
