News
Dup returned quickly.
The Three-eyed youth was not lying; the Four Great Families had indeed issued a bounty. Now, the news had spread throughout Somuo City, and the Four Great Families' forces were spreading the message to surrounding powers.
However, the Four Great Families did not reveal why they were looking for this gray-robed old man.
"It seems to be true." Andres no longer doubted it.
However, Hell is vast, and finding someone is no easy task.
"Master, I think we should stay in Somuo City. If there is any news, it will surely reach Somuo City," Dup said.
"Alright then." Andres didn't have any better ideas for the time being.
He continued his cultivation in the hotel, while having Dup and Clark go around the city every day to gather intelligence and see if there was any news about the old man in gray.
Andres never expected that this wait would last for ten years.
Over the course of ten years, there were several rumors about the gray-robed old man in Somuo City, but they were all eventually proven to be false.
Andres was not in a hurry and stayed in Somuo City to focus on his cultivation.
That day, the system in his mind reacted.
"Mission complete: Peak-level expert of the plane."
"Completion reward: Choose one from the Destruction Rule Middle God and 'Swallowing Heaven'."
Andres was overjoyed when he saw the system's message.
"Emerson has finally finished refining the Godhead."
Emerson was Demigod powerhouse of the Goblin Merchant Guild. His true form was the divine beast "Ni Suan". When the Plane Teleportation Array first descended, he was by Babatonde's side, and that was when Andres first met him.
Emerson's Binding Quest is to help him become Middle God.
Dylan Plane, Andres gave him a Middle God of the Destruction Rule.
Now, more than a decade later, he has finally comprehended the profound Profound Mystery of Godhead and become Middle God.
Looking at the system information, Andres did not hesitate and decisively chose the Innate Divine Ability "Swallowing Heaven".
"Call"
In Andres' mind, above the Soul Ocean, a black halo slowly emerged.
"Is this the Innate Energy of 'Swallowing Heaven'?" Andres wondered to himself.
Divine Innate Divine Ability need to consume special Innate Energy to unleash their innate divine abilities. In the original story, Linley also had a blue halo in his mind. After he awakened the Azure Dragon Bloodline, his soul power merged with the blue halo, allowing him to the Azure Dragon Clan's Innate Divine Ability, "Dragon's Roar."
"Give it a try!"
Andres left the room and went into the courtyard.
The hotel in Hell is very large, and each room is a private room with its own courtyard.
"Buzz"
Andres activated his soul power and merged with the black aura, and a huge "Ni Suan" phantom immediately appeared behind him. As long as he selected a target, the "Ni Suan" phantom would use its powerful absorption force to control the target.
"It feels pretty good." Andres was fairly satisfied with this Innate Divine Ability.
Although "Swallowing Heaven" is far inferior to Innate Divine Ability such as "God Devouring," it is still of great help to him at this stage.
In the original story, Tarossa, by fusing two Profound Mystery and combining them with her Innate Divine Ability, could reach the level of Six-star Demon and achieve a hundred victories on Miluo Island.
Now that Andres has "Swallowing Heaven," if he can combine it with his ultimate moves like the Windfire Sword and Dimension Slash, his strength will be close to that of a typical Six-star Demon.
"Call"
The enormous phantom of the "Ni Suan" appeared before Andres, who was about to return to his room to continue his cultivation.
Dup rushed in.
"Dup, is there any news?" Andres asked.
Over the years, the reason Dup came to him in such a hurry was usually because he had heard news of the Gray-haired old man.
"Yes." Dup's expression was strange. "Master, this time it should be true. However, this news is related to us. This Gray-haired old man has appeared in Iron Saber Gorge!"
"What did you say?" Andres's expression changed.
Iron Saber Gorge.
The semi-transparent light curtain of "Boulder Guard" protects the entire Iron Saber Gorge.
Cilia, Lulutia, and the others were all inside the light screen. They had completed the migration of their people. After the Dylan Plane returned to its former peace, God-level expert and even Saint Domain from various races came to Iron Saber Gorge to cultivate.
Today, Dup Divine Sense that a powerful Highgod was approaching, so he urgently activated "Boulder Guard".
Over the past decade or so, he and Babatonde have been researching Magic Array and have already improved and perfected the "Boulder Guard". Now, under the power of Highgod Power, the "Boulder Guard" can block the attacks of ordinary Five-star Demon powerhouses.
An elderly man in a black robe with gray hair floated outside the light screen. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes moved slowly as he observed the Magic Array in front of him.
"I never imagined that within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles of Somuo City, besides the Four Great Families, there would be such a powerful figure."
The Gray-haired old man was quite surprised by the power of the "Boulder Guard".
He was well aware of his own strength. Ordinary Highgod were no match for him. Even the patriarchs of the Four Great Families in Somuo City were at most on par with him in a one-on-one fight, or even worse. Yet, when he attacked the "Boulder Guard" with all his might, he couldn't break through it.
"Interesting." The Gray-haired old man stroked his chin, his Divine Sense spreading out as he transmitted his voice to Dup inside the "Boulder Guard": "I need to use the Plane Teleportation Array here. Remove this Magic Array, and I promise I won't harm you."
When Dup heard the telepathic message, his heart skipped a beat.
How did he know about the Plane Teleportation Array?
Dup feigned composure. "I don't know what you're talking about. There's no Teleportation Array here, and I've never heard of one."
Upon hearing this, the Gray-haired old man simply smiled and waved his hand, and an opening appeared in the belly of the enormous Black Dragon floating behind him, like a portal.
A Blue-robed youth flew out of the Black Dragon.
"What is this?" Dup asked in astonishment.
He had assumed that the Black Dragon was the Gray-haired old man's mount. Within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around Somuo City, many powerful individuals would tame mounts to travel, so it was not unusual.
But a mount can't carry a life inside its belly.
Not only Dup was shocked, but also Holan and other Middle God.
"Misichi!" Holan exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the Blue-robed youth.
"Do you know him?" Dup asked Holan.
Holan said, "He was originally our companion, but he was also controlled by Hamid's Soul Control. After Hamid died, he left Iron Saber Gorge."
Upon hearing this, Dup suddenly realized why the Gray-haired old man knew about the Plane Teleportation Array.
Clearly, Misichi fell into the hands of the gray- Gray-haired old man, who in turn learned of the existence of the Plane Teleportation Array.
"You know this person, right? Are you still going to play dumb with me?" the Gray-haired old man said with a smile.
Dup did not respond, nor did he intend to dispel the Magic Array.
With the "Boulder Guard" in place, they can hold off the Gray-haired old man, but once it is dispelled, the initiative will fall into the hands of the other party.
"No matter what, we'll wait for the master to return," Dup decided.
"I never imagined that the person the Four Great Families were looking for would appear in Iron Saber Gorge. I hope Master can make it in time," Dup thought to himself.
