Chapter 2750

All factors aside, just based on strength alone, how could Johnathan, a mere human being, stand against Dusky?

In Dusky's past life, he was the Mystical Dragon of the West known for his strength. His strength was absolutely unmatched by Johnathan.

Johnathan had overlooked this point. Of course, he did not know that Dusky was not human in his past life.

Dusky's attacks became harder and heavier.

Johnathan could clearly feel that his arms were starting to become numb.

Although he had not felt this feeling for a long time, he understood as a doctor. He knew that his body would not be able to hold on anymore.

Dusky was not going to give him a chance to catch a breath. He yelled, "Three more strikes... No, he'll be finished in less than two strikes!"

Although Dusky had no intention of killing Johnathan at this moment, he would not let Johnathan disrupt his plan. Therefore, he decided to inflict so much pain on Johnathan that he would eventually give up. If that did not work, Dusky would cripple him.

The divine emperor forbade internal fighting between gods. Hence, Dusky had to spare Johnathan's life or he would not be able to explain himself.

Dusky threw one punch, and Johnathan took a few steps back. His body gradually became unsteady.

When Dusky saw this, he punched again. This time, he held back the intensity of the punch.

He could keep Johnathan alive while rendering him unable to put up any resistance.

The moment Dusky's punch landed, he was thrown several meters away.

Dusky was stunned as he looked at the wound on his chest. He stared at Johnathan in disbelief and muttered to himself, "Did you do this? No! This true energy feels foreign..."

He then looked behind Johnathan, but there was obviously nothing.

Dusky asked, "Where's Nash?"

At this point, Dusky understood that Nash might have completed the adjustment of his true energy. Dusky himself might have been affected by the power of the Heaven-Shaking Tome.

Dusky's earlier blow was the best evidence. His attack was interrupted by an invisible true energy. At the same time, that surge of true energy counter-attacked him.

"Is that the power of the Heaven-Shaking Tome?"

Dusky looked around cautiously. He was now in the array circle of the Heaven- Shaking Tome.

This would be a difficult battle if he could not find Nash in the array circle. He had already realized it through the attack just now.

Nash activated the full power of the Heaven-Shaking Tome.

Be it spells or arrays, all these techniques were essentially powers that transcended human abilities. Therefore, techniques that violated the law of nature would have an impact on the cultivators themselves.

The more powerful the techniques used, the deeper these cultivators pushed the laws of nature, hence the stronger the backlash they received.

However, the Heaven-Shaking Tome was an exception. This weapon itself was designed to fight against gods and the god realm. This weapon was not bound by the laws of nature.

If that was the case, how could one cast the array? The cultivator had to rely on his heart.

As long as the cultivator had high self-affirmation, then the Heaven-Shaking Tome could exert its true power. Once activated, the Heaven-Shaking Tome would center on itself on the cultivator and unfold an array circle that could be controlled by the cultivator.

The effect of that array circle would be solely based on the cultivator's imagination.

Dusky had seen Nash use array circles like this in the past. All the power used within the array would be returned to the cultivator.

In other words, people trapped in the array could only escape from it if they were prepared to lose everything.

Dusky just needed to escape from this array circle.
