Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Back to the Transcendent! Kill Gods if They Stand in Your Way, Kill Buddhas if They Block You! Are You That Eager to Die?
Without thinking too much, Luca suddenly felt the entire Celestial Pool Secret Realm shaking violently.
The lake's surface rippled, and even the surrounding trees swayed.
He froze for a moment, then realized: the most important thing in the Celestial Pool Secret Realm was the Solar Divine Spear.
Now that he had taken it, wouldn't this secret realm be on the brink of collapse?!
Thinking this, Luca's lips twitched.
The real question was, how was he supposed to leave now?
Just as he was about to inquire about the Solar Divine Spear.
He suddenly felt his vision flip upside down, the azure sky turning into the Celestial Pool water beneath his feet.
"Ugh!" Luca stood there in shock. The next moment, an endless torrent of water poured down, crashing directly toward him!
Outside the secret realm, the entire Southwind City began to tremble violently; even the Celestial Pool Mountain was shaking!
"What's going on?" Confusion and fear filled everyone's eyes.
Even Orf and the others frowned, not understanding what was happening.
Only Pandora's beautiful eyes flickered as she turned to look in the direction of the Celestial Pool Secret Realm.
She sensed an incredibly powerful aura.
"Could it be that thing is about to emerge?" she mused, frowning.
But wasn't the Solar Divine Spear trapped in the Celestial Pool and unable to come out?
What was happening now?
Meanwhile, at Red Maple Academy.
A beam of blood-red light descended suddenly, landing in front of the Heavenly Pool Grand Hall—Finn had arrived specifically for the Solar Divine Spear.
Finn gazed at the violently shaking Heavenly Pool Grand Hall.
He frowned, a sudden sense of foreboding creeping into his mind.
Just as he was about to enter the Heavenly Pool Grand Hall to investigate.
A series of cracking sounds erupted from within. Deep fissures appeared in the ground.
To Finn's astonishment, this grand hall, standing for over a thousand years, suddenly collapsed!
At the same time, a golden beam of light shot up from the hall, piercing the sky like a spear!
"The Solar Divine Spear?!" Finn's pupils contracted in disbelief. "How is this possible?! Wasn't it sealed away by the gods in the Celestial Pool Secret Realm?!"
Before he could think further, he saw a figure materialize within the golden beam, a golden mark glowing brightly on its forehead!
Finn stared at the figure for what felt like an eternity before finally recognizing who it was!
"Luca?!" he exclaimed, barely able to believe his eyes.
This boy, who had never been a concern for him, was suddenly here, holding the very thing Finn had longed for!
Meanwhile, Orf and the others, who were besieging Pandora, also noticed the strange occurrence at Red Maple Academy and turned to look.
Upon seeing the figure, shock filled their expressions.
What was going on with this kid?!
At the First Dock, Luna and the others stared at the golden figure in the sky, each feeling as if they were in a dream.
"Is that Luca?" Fred rubbed his eyes, convinced he must be seeing things.
"It is him," Luna replied, looking up with a mix of emotions in her eyes.
At Red Maple Academy, Luca had just emerged from the secret realm.
He happened to catch sight of Finn, who was staring at him in utter shock, as if he were looking at a monster.
"Hmm?" Luca paused for a moment, then suddenly understood.
"So that's what's going on," he murmured to himself.
Connecting the dots with the Mora family and the current situation, it wasn't hard to guess that everything Finn had done was to obtain the Solar Divine Spear.
He was even willing to destroy the entire Southwind City, causing countless deaths...
Luca couldn't help but laugh.
He never expected Finn would come to him so willingly.
In that case, let this scoundrel… accompany the dead!
Golden light flickered on Luca's forehead as a golden spear materialized in his hand.
Flames danced around it, gradually spreading from the spear to envelop him.
"You!" A sudden sense of crisis surged within Finn, his expression tightening. Without a moment's hesitation, he summoned blood-red wings from his back and quickly fled into the distance!
No one understood better than him what that spear represented; he wasn't foolish enough to engage in a fight with Luca at this moment! As long as he could escape, he would have plenty of opportunities to retrieve that spear later!
"Ha! Now you want to run? It's too late!" Luca's cold voice rang out. Golden patterns swirled around him, and the golden flames erupted, releasing an incredibly terrifying aura!
Luca's power soared rapidly, moving from mid-tier to high-tier, until he broke through to Superclass! He stood at the level of Transcendent!
Boom!!
The terrifying pressure felt as if the heavens themselves were collapsing, and a great sun began to rise over the night sky!
Endless radiance poured down like rain, dispelling the darkness of Southwind City, transforming the sky into a sea of golden flames!
A golden figure wielding a spear stood tall in the air, surrounded by swirling flames.
Behind him, a golden giant rose hundreds of feet into the air.
Its divine power was overwhelming, like that of a deity!
In that moment, countless people looked up at the sky, their hearts trembling with awe.
"I'm finally back to Transcendent!" A surge of familiar power roared within Luca, a smile creeping onto his lips.
Though it had only been thirty minutes, it was more than enough for him!
Turning his gaze to Finn's retreating figure, golden light flickered in Luca's eyes.
He calmly uttered a single word.
"Die!!"
The voice was not loud, yet it resonated through the heavens!
The giant behind him raised its hand, a golden spear forming in its grip.
With a mighty swing, the giant gathered its strength, flames dancing around the spear, an overwhelming force building.
In the next moment!
Boom!
A terrifying sonic boom erupted!
The world darkened in its wake!
The golden spear shot forward with unparalleled might, racing like lightning toward the fleeing Finn!
"Save me!" Finn's expression changed dramatically as he yelled in panic.
Pandora, dressed in a flowing black gown, furrowed her brows slightly. She raised her hand, and boundless black water surged forth, coalescing into a massive curtain of water to block the path of the golden spear!
However, in the instant of contact.
The black water curtain shattered like tofu!
Couldn't stop it?!
To the astonished gazes of the crowd, the golden spear showed no signs of slowing.
It swept past Finn in an instant!
His form suddenly froze in mid-air.
Then, with a brilliance like a firework, he exploded!
"Boom!"
As they watched the golden flames burst in the sky, everyone stood frozen in place.
The Duke's son, Finn, was actually killed just like that?!
The masked figure who was entangled with Orf turned pale at the sight.
His face twisted in rage as he shouted at Luca, "You damned little beast! Do you even know what you're doing?!"
Fear and anger swirled in his eyes!
This was the son of Duke Lyon, the heir of the Phillips family!
To think he had died at the hands of some unknown youth in Southwind City?!
Imagining Duke Lyon's fury to come.
The masked figure felt cold sweat dripping down his back, his body shaking.
Heaven knows how many would pay for this with their lives!
"Hahaha! Well done!" Bronte and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction!
With their experience, they could see that everything was a conspiracy orchestrated by Finn and Pandora.
Countless innocent lives lost, and Southwind City fallen—how could they not be enraged? Luca's actions were exactly to their liking!
As for Duke Lyon's revenge, with Southwind City being the domain of the Southern Territory, and now in ruins because of Finn.
Even if he didn't come to trouble Luca, they would absolutely push for the impeachment of that imperial minister!
Pandora's expression also shifted for the first time.
"This is interesting," she said, watching Luca with keen interest, as if trying to see right through him.
Yet, she didn't seem angry; after all, the duke's son was not so easily killed.
Meanwhile, Luca's gaze shifted to another direction.
There, a disheveled figure was flying toward the luxurious airship.
It was Finn!
"A life-saving talisman?" Luca sneered.
Such things were considered treasures even in the Clinton royal family; it seemed Duke Lyon truly valued his son greatly!
At that moment, the others also spotted Finn fleeing toward the airship.
He looked nothing like the high-and-mighty duke's son he had been before; now he was a pitiful sight.
Completely naked, engulfed in golden flames, his hair was burned away.
If no one had mentioned it, it would have been hard to believe that this was the same person who had once held himself so proudly.
"He's still alive?!" Orf and the others felt a twinge of disappointment.
The masked figure let out a long breath.
He glared fiercely at Luca, seething with anger. "You brat, this isn't over! Just wait for the Phillips family to take their revenge!"
The moment the masked figure's words fell, Luca suddenly looked over.
His eyes glinted with cold light as he sneered, "Are you sure you'll have a chance?"
He didn't believe for a second that this guy had any life-saving talismans left!
If he was going to kill, he would do so completely; that was always Luca's principle!
Not just Finn, none of these guys would escape!
As his words echoed, he vanished from sight and reappeared beside the masked figure.
With golden flames enveloping his hand, he struck toward the figure's face.
The masked figure's expression changed drastically as he tried to dodge.
But he found the space around him seemed to be locked, leaving him completely unable to move!
Boom!
Luca's hand landed on the masked figure, and golden flames erupted instantly, engulfing half of his body.
There were no screams or cries of despair!
In just an instant, this Superclass powerhouse turned to a pile of ash in Luca's hands!
"Gasp!" Many onlookers inhaled sharply at the sight.
This was a Superclass expert, one of the very top figures in the entire Clinton Empire!
To think he was killed so easily?!
How could this young man possess such terrifying power?!
Pandora stood calmly on the surface of the black water, observing the scene without a flicker of emotion.
The death of the masked figure didn't even cause her eyes to change.
To her, he was just an ordinary Superclass professional, no different from an ant—his death was inconsequential.
However, when she saw Luca preparing to strike at Finn again, she scoffed, "Arrogant!"
With a cold huff, the black water beneath her transformed into a giant python that lunged fiercely at Luca.
Luca's gaze sharpened, and he reversed the Solar Divine Spear in his hand, unleashing a surge of golden flames that shot skyward! The two forces collided with a thunderous crash, and the black water python exploded in mid-air, scattering down like a rain of dark droplets!
"Are you in such a hurry to die?" He turned his head to glance at Pandora, his killing intent palpable!
