Chapter 475: Annihilation Beam, the Golden Wheel of Laws
Overlord hesitated for a moment. With a casual wave of his hand, he dissipated the Heaven River above the others. However, in his heart, he had already decided to kill them. Once they escaped this place, they would no longer hold any value—there was no doubt they would die.
John and the others couldn't help but sigh in relief, at least for now, their lives were spared.
"Merciless, help me break the Demon's Sky Formation!" Overlord turned to Merciless Emperor and spoke coldly.
They were still within the Demon's Sky Formation, and the danger was far from over.

"Anixegon, be careful!" At that moment, VoidEmperor quickly called out in warning.
Outside the Demon's Sky Formation, Celestial Vault suddenly went berserk, charging toward Anixegon.
He had been betrayed by the Church of Light and carried immense hatred in his heart, determined to kill Anixegon.
Boom! Boom!
The powerful dark The Heaven power of laws surged, shaking the heavens as it blasted toward Anixegon.
"Hmph, seeking death!" Anixegon sneered disdainfully, unafraid. With a thought, the copper mirror appeared before him.
Hum!
The space trembled as he easily blocked Celestial Vault's full-force strike.
"Absorb!" Anixegon coldly commanded. The smooth surface of the copper mirror rippled, transforming into a massive whirlpool. A terrifying suction force emanated from it.
"Not good!" Celestial Vault's face changed dramatically. He tried to resist with all his might, but it was futile.
His strength was similar to Anixegon's, but now, after being gravely wounded by the God-Devouring Curse, his soul was severely damaged, and his strength was compromised. He was utterly unable to withstand the Dark-Light Mirror.
Helplessly, he was pulled toward the Dark-Light Mirror, his expression filled with terror. Gritting his teeth, he ordered, "All Black Magicians, dismantle the Demon's Sky Formation!"
He wasn't a match for Anixegon, but even if he had to die, he couldn't let Anixegon have an easy victory.
As long as the Demon's Sky Formation was destroyed, the Church of Light would face the wrath of Overlord, and he would still have a chance for revenge.
Whoosh!
His figure flashed, and he was no longer able to resist, falling directly into the devouring mirror.
The surrounding Black Magicians hesitated, uncertain whether or not to dismantle the Demon's Sky Formation.
Anixegon's voice rang out coldly, "Do not dismantle the Demon's Sky Formation! Celestial Vault is dead. From now on, you follow me, and I will not treat you poorly."
The Black Magicians exchanged uneasy glances before finally agreeing.
They had already offended powerful figures like Overlord and other Emperors. Without the protection of a strong figure, they were as good as dead.
Whether they followed Celestial Vault or Anixegon, they were nothing more than pawns to be discarded. It was better to take a gamble.
"Very well, do you really think this small Demon's Sky Formation can trap me, even in my wounded state?" Overlord's cold voice echoed as the Heaven River raged violently, becoming incredibly agitated. The terrifying The Heaven power of laws surged, causing the Demon's Sky Formation to tremble, on the brink of collapse at any moment.
Anixegon's expression turned grave. He quickly moved to the core of the formation and summoned the Dark-Light Mirror. The immense The power of laws intertwined and merged with the formation.
Hum!
A humming sound echoed as the Demon's Sky Formation became even more stable.
Immediately after, a powerful force gathered, and enormous Heavenly Demons appeared—twelve in total!
At this moment, with the power of the Dark-Light Mirror reinforcing the formation, its power was far more terrifying than before.
But that wasn't all.
Inside the formation, the The Heaven powers of Light and Darkness intertwined, their radiance flickering.
"Annihilation Beam!" Anixegon shouted with fury. The sky within the formation darkened as countless beams of light shot down, bombarding the group with relentless, destructive force.
Boom! Boom!
The sounds of explosions reverberated as the overwhelming The power of laws surged. The Nine-Star experts could not withstand the terrifying light beams, dying instantly upon contact.
Even the Emperor-level experts were unable to defend themselves.
John and Heavenly King acted without hesitation. They immediately summoned their World-in-Hand to block the sky of light beams crashing down upon them.
Bang! Bang!
The light beams struck, causing the World-in-Hand to tremble and crack.
John's face grew serious. He quickly activated his divine skill Creation and Destruction, stabilizing the two World-in-Hand.
"Brother John, let's join forces!" Heavenly King quickly urged.
John understood immediately. With a thought, the two World-in-Hand began to merge, channeling vast amounts of The power of laws together. The World-in-Hand became more stable.
Both John and Heavenly King were the Overseers of the World-in-Hand, with their unique connection to the The Heaven power of laws. With this special enhancement, their World-in-Hand possessed nearly complete The power of laws, making it nearly indestructible.
Boom! Boom!
The light beams continued to fall, but the merged World-in-Hand barely held strong against the onslaught.
The two of them sighed in relief, but the other Nine-Star experts weren't so lucky. A massive number of them fell, their deaths flooding the battlefield.
"Quick, get over here!" Nine Phoenix shouted urgently.
The others quickly reacted, scrambling to take refuge within John and Heavenly King's World-in-Hand.
The Nine-Star experts were the strongest beings in the Realm of Chaos apart from the Emperors, and if they couldn't escape, these individuals were critical to resisting the Church of Light. They had to find a way to protect them.
At this point, fewer than forty thousand Nine-Star experts remained.
The attacks from the Demon's Sky Formation and the eruption of the God-Devouring Curse had directly claimed the lives of over fifty thousand Nine-Star experts.
Even Emperor-level experts were not spared. Two of them fell under the bombardment of the Annihilation Beam.
Boom! Boom!
The space trembled as the Heavenly River surged, and endless cold light ravaged the surroundings.
Both Overlord and Merciless Emperor were attacking the Demon's Sky Formation with all their strength, trying to break through the formation.
However, with the added power of the Dark-Light Mirror, the Demon's Sky Formation remained incredibly stable, and it was impossible to break through easily.
Even Merciless Emperor's attacks were absorbed by the Dark-Light Mirror, unable to harm the Black Magicians outside the formation.
She spoke up quickly: "Overlord, I cannot threaten those people. We need to think of another plan!"
Overlord furrowed his brows, his figure looking disheveled, with a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at the flickering light beams in the sky and said, "Cover me."
"Alright!" Merciless Emperor didn't know what he was planning, but she agreed without hesitation. She flew above Overlord, an aura of cold energy surging around her. Powerful energy condensed into a giant ice shield.
Overlord sat cross-legged, and his World-in-Hand appeared—though it was merely an illusion, the power it contained was very real. The enormous Heavenly River gathered once more, its overwhelming pressure filling the area.
Hmm? Anixegon noticed his movements. He furrowed his brow, a bad premonition stirring in his heart.
With a thought, he fully controlled the Demon's Sky Formation, and several light spheres formed above Overlord and Merciless Emperor. Their radiance flickered, and then they fell with explosive force.
Boom! Boom!
Countless beams rained down, striking the ice shield.
Merciless Emperor's body trembled slightly as cracks began to appear all over the ice shield, which seemed on the verge of shattering at any moment.
She glanced down at the Heavenly Tribe below, gritted her teeth, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which she smeared onto her longsword.
Hum!
The deep blue longsword instantly turned blood red, humming continuously as it became even more powerful.
"The Path of Mercilessness!" She whispered, swinging the longsword, and the blood-red sword aura spread out. She performed a Piercing Strike on the ice shield, howling as it cut toward the light spheres above.
Boom! Boom!
Several light spheres exploded with a deafening sound. The fierce winds howled, and the terrifying power rippled out, tearing apart the surrounding space.
"Puff!" Outside the formation, Anixegon suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, struck by backlash and severely wounded.
"The Path of Mercilessness is indeed powerful!" he muttered to himself, not daring to relax for a moment. He used the Dark-Light Mirror to stabilize the Demon's Sky Formation with all his strength.
"Leave no room for them to escape. Kill them all," he ordered coldly, turning to the Black Magicians and the Church of Light members by his side.
Hum!
The Dark-Light Mirror activated, and it began to wildly Devour the power of those around him.
Even if it meant sacrificing everyone, he was determined to kill Overlord and the others.
Boom! Boom!
The space trembled again, and a terrifying pressure swept across the area. The Demon's Sky Formation transformed into a massive net that rapidly began to shrink.
John felt an immense sense of danger. He and Heavenly King's World-in-Hand would likely not be able to withstand this.
"Master, do you need me to make a move?" At that moment, John heard Elsa's voice in his mind.
She was outside the formation, ready to strike at any moment to stop the Demon's Sky Formation.
John glanced at Overlord and Merciless Emperor not far off. After a brief hesitation, he sent a voice transmission: "Wait for now."
He felt that Overlord was still hiding some of his power and should be able to break the Demon's Sky Formation.
Moreover, Elsa's strength was still too weak, only having just broken through to Nine-Star. If she exposed herself now, she would likely be in danger.
Boom! Boom!
The terrifying pressure spread, and beams of light slammed down one after another.
John's World-in-Hand wasn't at the core of the light beam attack, but it still couldn't withstand the force. The World-in-Hand shattered, and cracks in the space spread, wreaking havoc and destroying everything in their path.
He dared not be careless. He continuously activated the Divine Skill: Creation and Destruction, trying his best to stabilize the World-in-Hand he and Heavenly King shared, buying time as much as possible.
Screams echoed around him. Though World-in-Hand provided some protection, many Nine-Star experts were still blasted to death.
Right now, all he could do was focus on stabilizing the World-in-Hand, not able to care for anyone else's life or death.
Hum!
Suddenly, blinding golden light flashed. Overlord was surrounded by eight golden discs, glowing like the sun, dazzling and blinding.
The immense Heavenly Power of Laws spread, and the Demon's Sky Formation trembled violently. The power contained within these golden discs was even more terrifying than the Heavenly River itself.
The light beams falling from the sky were all enveloped in the golden light and disappeared, unable to cause any harm.
"The Law Golden Wheel!" Nine Phoenix and Chaos both cried out in disbelief, staring at Overlord.
John, confused, asked, "What is the Law Golden Wheel?"
Nine Phoenix suppressed the shock in her heart and glanced at him before explaining, "The Law Golden Wheel is the Heavenly Law, but it's your own version of it. Emperor-level experts can form the Law Golden Wheel. Once nine Law Golden Wheels are condensed and combined, one can take the final step and become a Creator God. Even Chaos and I have only barely managed to form a single Law Golden Wheel, but we can't summon it externally. I never expected Overlord to have condensed eight of them!"
Heavenly Law forming the Law Golden Wheel?
John frowned, feeling as if he was beginning to understand, but it was still unclear.
Only by breaking through to Emperor-level could one form the Law Golden Wheel, and his current strength was still far too weak.
"Break for me!" Overlord roared, and the eight Law Golden Wheels spun rapidly, howling as they shot toward the formation.
Boom!
With a violent crash, the seemingly indestructible Demon's Sky Formation shattered instantly. The space collapsed, and it began to Devour everything around it in a frenzy.
"This is bad..."
Screams rang out.
The Black Magicians and Church of Light members who had set up the Demon's Sky Formation were struck by a powerful backlash. They spat blood and suffered severe injuries.
Even Anixegon wasn't spared. He was operating the Demon's Sky Formation at full power and felt the most intense backlash of all.
