Chapter 405: Divine Power Scroll Snipe Kill!

The ability【Boundary·Phase Walk】has been upgraded to level 120.

Whether it's the distance crossed or the ability to pass through during violent space‑storm fluctuations, both have seen considerable improvement.

As a Phase Walk lands.

"Hum!"

Take's World Power erupted violently.

A blue‑colored Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere, just about to initiate Origin Passage, was directly suppressed by Take's World Power.

Immediately, Take grabbed with one hand.

This one‑meter‑diameter Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere fell directly into Take's hand.

"Inside this Origin Sphere lies an astonishing Origin crystal."

"No wonder it can let a Mid‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi complete the Origin Baptism."

Feeling this Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere, Take's eyes gleamed with spiritual light.

"If I could grab a few more Mid‑tier Master Origin Spheres, it would be like having another Divine Kingdom Baptism."

"These Mid‑tier Master Origin Spheres are hard to catch; they have the means of Origin Passage."

"Intercept them, and they'll flee."

"Fortunately, my World Power can suppress and hinder them a bit."

"Just hindering them a little is enough."

Just as Take gathered this Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere into the Steam·Magical Cottage.

"Kid, this is mine."

A roar burst forth like thunder.

A Chao Shen Da Shi clad in legendary heavy armor, twenty meters tall, wielding a fourteen‑ or fifteen‑meter‑giant battleaxe, came forth wrapped in a thunder‑clad strike.

At this moment, everywhere were figures flying and scrambling for Mid‑tier Master Origin Spheres.

Even the source‑energy soundwaves of small‑scale battles.

Now the Divine Kingdom Baptism has ended, plus these abruptly appearing Mid‑tier Master Origin Spheres.

The fighting immediately erupted.

Treasures flew everywhere, and even oracles had to step aside.

"Boom!"

The blade of the legendary battleaxe fell.

The source‑energy sea exploded, sending up source‑energy waves hundreds of meters high.

And Take had already vanished.

A Phase Passage leapt far away.

Take immediately pursued the next Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere.

Compared to spacetime wormholes, which are ultra‑long‑distance jumps, this movement method requires a long charge‑up time.

"Phase Walk" and "Shadow Passage" are undoubtedly better suited for this kind of small‑scale flexible combat.

His form turned into a hazy light‑shadow, and Take swiftly caught up to a Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere ahead.

"Hum!"

World Power burst forth.

As the World Power gathered, that Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere trying to flee via Origin Passage was drawn into Take's hand.

"Second one in hand."

Having just stored this second one.

Take then saw, far away, a third blue‑colored glow beckoning to him.

"Huh!"

Take, gazing into the distance, almost thought he was mistaken.

But behind that third Mid‑tier Master Origin Sphere emitting a blue glow, there was none other than the Forbidden‑Spell Steam Swordsman, the Star‑Shatterer【Aomaer】.

"Is my luck really this good?" Take raised an eyebrow and couldn't help smiling.

At this moment, Aomaer also seemed to have spotted Take.

The joy of chasing the Master Origin Sphere vanished instantly.

"Aomaer, how does that poison‑curse feel?"

Take explained from afar using source‑energy fluctuations.

Instantly, Aomaer's face turned grim beyond measure.

"Take, it's really you behind this."

Aomaer spoke with a sinister, venomous tone.

"Heh… it's clearly the Giant Serpent Sorcerer Qiao·Fuliqian's, what does it have to do with me, Take?"

"Hmph!"

Having suffered a silent loss, Aomaer knew any further words would only hurt him, so he kept silent.

Take chuckled lightly.

"The Master Origin Sphere you're chasing is nice, but soon it will be mine."

As his words fell, Take had already raised his hand.

"Whoosh!"

A shadow shot forth suddenly for hundreds of kilometers.

Aomaer swung his sword in a sudden slash.

A dull "clang!" sounded.

However, within the hazy steam and shadow, a human silhouette emerged—turns out to be a "Steam Veil Shadow Master" wielding a shadow battle blade.

With this sword, Omar sent the Steam Veil Shadow Master flying back several kilometers.

But the Steam Veil Shadow Master also successfully blocked and hindered Omar.

"Courting death!" Omar flared with rage.

Just then.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two even faster shadow streaks likewise shot forth.

Adding to the previous Steam Veil Shadow Master.

At this moment, three rank-100 Steam Veil Shadow Masters gathered, moving to surround and attack Omar.

Woooo…

Omar gripped his legendary steam longsword tightly.

Violent steam surged forth, covering the sky and earth.

Clang clang clang…

Amid the intersecting blade and sword lights.

The three rank-100 Steam Veil Shadow Masters fought fiercely alongside Omar.

Just then, Taku performed a phase shift, intercepting the rapidly flying third mid-tier master origin sphere—the very one Omar was pursuing.

Originally, Omar's level was 149.

After this baptism, his level rose to 156.

The legendary steam longsword, in his hand, wielded tremendous power with every gesture.

Each sword strike unleashed a violent surge of source energy.

The reputation of the Forbidden Curse Steam Swordsman is no idle boast.

Even the three Steam Veil Shadow Masters joining forces were no match for him, and were beaten back repeatedly.

Yet the three Steam Veil Shadow Masters were extremely agile, their speed astonishing, constantly entangling Omar so he could not calmly pursue the mid-tier master origin spheres.

And Taku's order to the three Steam Veil Shadow Masters was simply to hinder Omar.

After equipping the highest-level among them—a 132-rank Shadow Steam Master—with a full rune arcane forbidden shield, Taku launched another full rune arcane forbidden curse dragon breath–star eclipse arrow at Omar.

Afterward, Taku didn't wait for the result, immediately blinked away and chased after the fourth mid-tier master origin sphere not far away.

At the same time.

Throughout the divine nation's reincarnation baptism pool, battles raged everywhere.

Everywhere were figures chasing mid-tier master origin spheres.

Some were groups of people teaming up to chase one.

Some were groups teaming up to violently beat a Chao Shen Da Shi who had obtained a master origin sphere, forcing him to surrender it.

Meanwhile, Taku relied on his agile speed and powerful world-suppressing force.

He continually seized one mid-tier master origin sphere after another.

Although some Chao Shen Da Shi whom Taku had outpaced were furious beyond restraint.

But at this moment, Taku's speed—his Steam Light Feather Blade combined with Storm Wings—

Those mid-tier Chao Shen Da Shi famed for speed could scarcely catch up to Taku.

Taku naturally came and went as he pleased.

He continuously harvested one master origin sphere after another.

In the high skies, Taku sped forward, chasing a mid-tier master origin sphere ahead.

Behind Taku, three Chao Shen Da Shi, each level 160, followed him with faces full of anger.

"Taku, you've already snatched so many, yet you're still competing with us for this one?"

A steam assassin from behind shouted a threat.

"You've also taken several—aren't you still grabbing?" Taku replied indifferently.

His body swayed slightly.

Hum!

Taku suddenly phase-shifted to land beside the rapidly flying mid-tier master origin sphere ahead.

At the same time Taku performed a phase jump.

Three mid-tier Chao Shen Da Shi almost simultaneously used their jump abilities, each unleashing their own techniques to deal with Taku.

The steam mage released forbidden magic chains on Taku.

The black-winged demon swordsman, with a bloody crimson blade edge, ruthlessly thrust toward Taku's chest.

The steam assassin master, meanwhile, unfurled three streaks of starlight afterimages, each strand the epitome of assassination art.

Taku's forbidden shield was shattered almost instantly.

The three attackers' blows poured heavily onto Taku's master-form body outline.

Boom boom boom…

The devastating attack exploded upon Taku's body.

After the explosion's fallout dissipated, Taku had already gathered that mid-tier master origin sphere.

This wave naturally could not be endured for free.

The spoils were those first clutched in his hand.

Boom—

With the aftermath of an explosion wave, origin energy steam, and magical light and shadow faded away.

Ta Ke endured the three intermediate Steam Masters.

Unmoving, he stood high in the sky.

The three intermediate Chao Shen Da Shi were all slightly startled.

"Crystal Wall State!"

"What formidable defensive power."

"This guy's masterly aura of intimidation is astonishing."

Ta Ke's gaze swept over the three, icy and sharp, and he spoke indifferently.

"Three... the treasures inside the Divine Kingdom Reincarnation Baptism Pool have basically been snatched up."

"Are you three calling it quits here, or... shall we see the real deal?"

The steam mage among them stepped back.

"I was only competing for that intermediate master's origin sphere, with no intention of fighting; since you've taken it, I'll take my leave."

The intermediate steam mages all retreated.

The other two also retreated upon seeing that.

"Ta Ke, your strength is indeed astonishing; I'd heard you sniped a legendary powerhouse, and was doubtful, but now it seems you truly have skill—admirable!"

"I hope we have time to spar; moreover, in this battle with that Omar, I bet on your victory."

As the two retreated, each spoke in turn.

In a moment, the three left cleanly.

Ta Ke moved toward where he sensed.

Only scattered few intermediate master origin spheres remained in the whole world.

Ta Ke also had no intention of continuing to compete.

After carefully counting, Ta Ke's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Altogether twelve; that's already quite good."

"After advancing to intermediate master, I can fully use these treasures to quickly level up to 150 and above."

"And before that, using these treasures as collateral, I'll place a bet at the Divine Kingdom Market and win."

"With odds of 1.2, I can surely at least double my money."

"Right! My Steam Curtain Shadow Master."

Ta Ke slapped his forehead suddenly.

As Ta Ke activated the summoning ritual incantation.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Only two Steam Curtain Shadow Masters returned.

Moreover, the two returned Steam Curtain Shadow Masters were both near dismemberment; it's questionable whether they can be saved.

The two Steam Curtain Shadows fell into Ta Ke's shadow behind him.

Ta Ke flew toward the exit.

At that moment, dozens of Chao Shen Da Shi had gathered at the exit.

But each of those Chao Shen Da Shi was brimming with killing intent.

Their hostile gazes almost intertwined into a vast net of resentment.

After all!

Those Chao Shen Da Shi capable of entering the Divine Kingdom Reincarnation Baptism Pool to undergo baptism and level up are naturally immensely strong and proud.

Those who suffered losses in the earlier scuffle naturally won't yield easily.

"Ta Ke!"

Just then, a roar sounded from afar and drew near.

Yet seen, a steam sword aura pierced the heavens, crashing toward the exit with a boom.

The layered, compressed surges of origin energy made many Chao Shen Da Shi's hearts quiver; it was none other than Omar.

At this moment, Omar was so furious because...

Ta Ke naturally knew the situation from the retrieved Steam Curtain Shadow Masters.

Although Ta Ke's arrow was blocked by him, the flames also ignited Omar.

Then, the three Steam Curtain Shadow Masters, relying on extreme speed and their shadow-phasing trait,

constantly harassed Omar.

Although one died, the two that returned were basically in a scrapped state.

Yet, under the flames' burning and the harassment of the three Steam Curtain Shadow Masters, Omar was utterly unable to obtain even a single intermediate master origin sphere.

This made Omar nearly explode with rage.

At this time, Omar's killing intent was sky-high.

Today he swore to take Ta Ke's life!

"Silence!"

Just then.

A towering figure a hundred meters tall emerged from the opened vortex gate.

It was none other than the legendary powerhouse who had been guarding the Divine Kingdom Reincarnation Baptism Pool.

Exit area, who dares to fight and kill! Die!

Scanning the entire arena, finally the gaze of this legendary powerhouse, the guardian of the God Nation Reincarnation Baptism Pool, fell upon Omar who had rushed over.

That final "die" word was clearly meant for Omar to hear.

At this moment, even Omar, furious and angry, swallowed it down alive.

This person before us is indeed a legendary powerhouse, one who has ascended to godhood.

These Chao Shen Da Shi are certainly the future hope of the God Nation.

But to dare to fight and kill in front of a legendary figure...

A legendary powerhouse would truly slay them.

"Everyone, leave one by one."

After scanning the many Chao Shen Da Shi, the legendary powerhouse Frederick finally spoke softly.

Immediately, the many Chao Shen Da Shi in front began to enter the Vortex Gate, leaving one by one.

"Hah!"

Ta Ke lightly exhaled and gently rubbed his brow.

"This time I've leveled up to 139, my foundation is quite solid, and the superiors will surely assign some tasks."

"Before that, the construction of the Inheritance Land and the research of the Steam Veil Shadow Master must be put on the schedule."

"The Steam Veil Shadow Master's combat ability is certainly not bad, but its level is slightly low and its lethality is not strong."

"If... I could use my Stellar Physique precisely, with the Primordial Spirit Form as the sequence framework, supporting these Steam Veil Shadow Masters, we could completely cultivate a batch of Veil Shadow Masters with considerable combat power."

"The difficulty of cultivation is certainly there; even if unsuccessful, increasing the combat power of some Steam Veil Shadow Masters would still be good."

"Moreover, by using the abilities of High-Dimensional Correction and Steam World to research and test the Steam Veil Shadow Masters, this helps me build the inheritance of the Steam Wizard sequence."

"The deeper the research, the better the effect on constructing the Steam Wizard sequence."

Just as Ta Ke was quietly contemplating.

"Boom!"

A terrifying divine power erupted suddenly without any omen.

As this terrifying divine power blossomed in all directions.

The entire area world was completely suppressed by the divine power fluctuations.

This divine power fluctuation was ten times greater than the previous legendary powerhouse's pressure.

In an instant, all transcendents in the Vortex Entrance Area exploded in chaos.

Some had their livers and gallbladders torn apart, fleeing in panic.

Some's legs trembled violently, barely able to stay airborne.

Even more were drowned in despair and fear, lacking even the courage to resist.

"It's a Divine Power Scroll!"

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and a blazing heat wave as bright as stars erupted with a roar.

Ta Ke only felt his Master State throughout his body boiling completely.

Under the suppression of divine power.

Extreme madness and bloody killing intent made Ta Ke boil to the extreme.

Facing danger and desperation!

Ta Ke's most instinctive and essential madness manifested without doubt.

Just as the Divine Power Scroll blazed forth.

Roaring bellows pierced the heavens.

"Frederick, die for me!"

The Divine Power Scroll's sniper attack!

It was actually targeting the legendary powerhouse "Frederick".

Just as the legendary powerhouse Frederick coldly activated his Demigod Heart to carry out divine power defense.

"Boom!"

A burst of golden divine light pillar instantly enveloped Ta Ke not far away.

"Hiss—"

Within the terrifying Divine Power Attack Scroll, Ta Ke, enveloped within, was instantly vaporized.

Seeing this, the legendary powerhouse Frederick's face sank.

"Was this a miss?"

"No... even if it missed, it wouldn't be this far off!"

"Damn... he's... sniping Ta Ke!"

"Those evil gods want to avenge Ta Ke by using him to snipe the legendary powerhouse."

"Is he dead?"

Seeing Ta Ke's Master State torn apart and vaporized.

The legendary powerhouse Frederick was both shocked and angry.

But at this moment, the mid-level Chao Shen Da Shi who released the Divine Power Scroll, now enveloped by divine power, wanted to interrupt but it was already too late.

"Hahaha..."

The mid-level Chao Shen Da Shi manipulating the Divine Power Scroll let out an eerie, strange laugh.

"Blasphemer Ta Ke, I act under the command of the great God of the Dim Sun."

"In your way, I will snipe you!"

Even if your talent is outstanding, what then?

Under the Divine Power Scroll, everything turns to ash and nothingness!

Hahaha...

That Chao Shen Da Shi grew ever more frenzied.

At this moment, having expended the Divine Power Scroll, it also underwent self-destructive combustion.

Obviously, this is a complete suicide attack; this mad follower had no intention of surviving.

I, I understand!

Just then, behind the Aberrant Chao Shen Da Shi of the Dark Sun Evil God's followers, Ta Ke's cold voice suddenly rang out.

Besides… you're somewhat absurd! Next life, remember to be a bit more precise.

The Aberrant Master, whose smile had completely stiffened, strained to turn his head with all his might.

What they saw, however, was Ta Ke's intact, hazy silhouette.

This…

They widened their eyes to the extreme, attempting a final struggle, but it was already beyond redemption.

As the divine power fluctuations dissipated.

Its body also collapsed with a thunderous roar.

Everyone's gaze gathered upon Ta Ke.

Within the crowd's corner, Ao Ma Er watched Ta Ke's silhouette, filled with regret; he wished he could go up and strike a blow.

That idiot missed—couldn't they send a transcendent being with aiming talent? Those evil gods are utterly useless!

The Chao Shen Da Shi, still hearts pounding, now all turned their gazes toward Ta Ke.

He actually dodged the Divine Power Scroll's sniper strike—and that's a Divine Power Scroll!

Is it just good luck, or can one truly dodge it?

It feels like a fifty-fifty chance!

Can one even dodge the Divine Power Scroll's sniper strike?

Hehe… just try and you'll find out.

Try? That's as good as dying!

They glanced left and right.

Ta Ke didn't linger, and after bowing to the legendary powerhouse, he immediately leapt out through the Vortex Gate, swiftly vanishing.

As expected, even inside the Divine Realm, it's not safe.

Only my own safe haven offers security.

Ta Ke, flying toward his own stronghold, muttered to himself.
