"Completion condition: Help Bowen defeat Takke in the challenge."
"Completion Rewards: High God of Earth Law (Seven-star Demon), Innate Divine Ability 'Spatial Confinement', and a choice of one Main Godhead Level Body."
The system triggered, and the information of the two appeared in Andres's mind.
"It really is!"
Andres was very excited. Riding was the Azure Dragon, the leader of the Four Divine Beasts, while Bowen was the Black Tortoise.
He never expected to encounter two of the Four Divine Beasts before even reaching the Skyrite Mountains.
"Azure Dragon" Riding is a cold and aloof man wearing a blue robe, with sharp features and a calm demeanor.
"Black Tortoise" Bowen is over three meters tall with bluish-green skin. He wears only a simple sleeveless shirt, revealing his strong arms with bulging muscles like rocks.
Upon seeing Riding and Bowen, Andres couldn't help but ponder how to complete their Binding Quest.
Riding's mission is to awaken the bloodline of the Azure Dragon's descendants.
In the original work, the Azure Dragon Clan conducts an ancestral baptism every hundred years to stimulate the Azure Dragon Bloodline of the younger generation.
The ancestral hall baptism of the Azure Dragon Clan requires the use of Dragon Transformation Crystal. The descendants of the Azure Dragon Clan absorb the power of the Dragon Transformation Crystal to activate the Azure Dragon Bloodline within their bodies.
The Dragon Transformation Crystal was created by the Azure Dragon Clan at great expense, but the original work does not mention the specifics of how it was made.
Andres had no immediate solution to this problem.
Compared to Riding, Bowen's Binding Quest is easier to complete.
According to the system information, Bowen is a Martial Fanatic, and his greatest desire right now is to defeat Takke in a challenge.
Since the challenge was won, Andres couldn't directly offer any help.
"I wonder who is stronger between the two of them."
Andres currently has a poor understanding of the strength of both sides.
In terms of talent, Bowen is undoubtedly stronger, but it remains to be seen how much of their potential they have realized.
"If Bowen loses, we can find a way to improve Bowen strength and help him surpass Takke. If Bowen wins directly, this Binding Quest will probably change," Andres thought to himself.
He hasn't offered Bowen any help yet. If Bowen wins against Takke directly, it won't affect him at all, and he naturally won't be able to complete the Binding Quest.
The Binding Quest will also change as Bowen's goals change, and the changed Binding Quest may become more difficult.
Thinking about it that way, Andres actually hoped that Takke would win.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh"
Riding and Bowen quickly flew to the location, where they stood facing Takke, hovering in the air.
"It's them?"
Which one is Bowen?
Upon seeing the arrival of Riding and his companion, the many God-level expert watching the battle became excited and began to discuss among themselves.
Before long, Andres saw Riding step aside, giving the stage to Takke and Bowen.
"It's about to begin!" The same thought came to everyone's mind, and they all focused their attention on Takke and Bowen.
"Takke, after I became Highgod, I challenged my way from the Skyrite Mountains. To this day, I have experienced twenty-eight battles and defeated all of them. Today, you will be the twenty-ninth!" Bowen.
"Hmph, what arrogance." Takke sneered. "I've seen plenty of guys like you; they all ended up being my defeated opponents."
"Haha, I've long heard that you are a super strong person on the Blood Peak Continent, second only to the Master of Lake Punis. However, I am different from your previous opponents!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Takke flipped his hand and took out a Red Longspear.
"Then let's go!" Bowen seemed very excited; his weapon was a Black Greatsword.
"Boom"
The surging Earth Element and fire elements collided high in the sky, and Takke and Bowen officially clashed!
Bowen, wielding a greatsword, slashed down at Takke, but Takke parried with his spear.
"Buzz"
The greatsword and the spear clashed, and invisible ripples emanated from the greatsword and traveled toward Takke.
"Um?"
Takke's expression changed instantly. He let out a soft shout, and all the endless flames gathered at the tip of his spear.
"Burst!"
With a Takke, flames exploded at the tip of the spear in his hand, sending Bowen and Takke flying backward from the impact.
The two fought for the first time, and the match was evenly matched.
"My lord, who do you think will win?" Dup asked Andres telepathically, his eyes fixed on the battle in the air.
Andres did not answer immediately; he watched the battle in the air and assessed the strength of both sides.
In terms of talent, Bowen is undoubtedly superior, but Bowen has clearly not yet developed his talent to its full potential.
"That move by Takke just now likely combined two profound Profound Mystery of the Fire Elemental Law," Andres thought to himself.
Andres himself was also cultivating the Fire Elemental Law, so he could see some clues.
He was certain that Takke's shot contained the Profound Mystery the "fire element," but besides the Profound Mystery the "fire element," there were other Profound Mystery contained within it as well.
"It's very likely the 'Explosion Profound Mystery'," Andres guessed.
However, he has not yet grasped the "Explosion Profound Mystery" and is therefore not sure.
The Explosion Profound Mystery is one of the most powerful of the six Profound Mystery of the Fire Elemental Law. If Takke's shot combines the Profound Mystery "Fire Element" and "Explosion Element," then the power of this attack could reach the level of Five-star Demon.
"This Takke is still a divine beast. He hasn't used his Innate Divine Ability yet. If he combines them well with his techniques, he could very well have the strength of Six-star Demon," Andres thought to himself.
He then looked at Bowen. The fact that the two had fought to a standstill just now meant that Bowen's sword strike also possessed the power of Five-star Demon.
However, he has not yet grasped the Earth Law, so he cannot see the profound Profound Mystery contained in Bowen's moves.
"This battle should allow us to witness the Innate Divine Ability of 'Black Tortoise'."
Andres felt a sense of anticipation.
In the original work, the Four Divine Beasts possessed powerful Innate Divine Ability, but only the Azure Dragon's Innate Divine Ability was described in detail. The effects of the other three divine beasts' Innate Divine Ability were not mentioned in the original work.
He was very curious.
Just then, a huge Black Tortoise Projection appeared behind Bowen in the sky.
He unleashed his Innate Divine Ability!
"Takke, you've lived up to your reputation for withstanding my full-force sword strike. In that case, you'll get to experience my Innate Divine Ability!"
Bowen was very confident. Before he finished speaking, the Black Tortoise Projection behind him emitted an invisible ripple that quickly spread to the place where Takke was.
"Innate Divine Ability? Hmph, then you can try my Innate Divine Ability!"
Behind Takke, a change occurred, and a huge Strange Bird Projection appeared, its body engulfed in raging flames.
"Chirp"
The strange bird let out a sharp, piercing cry and spat out a phantom flame from its mouth.
"Call"
Bowen's Innate Divine Ability enveloped Takke's body.
Enveloped by the invisible ripples, Takke suddenly realized that he was unable to move. Not only him, but even the innate Innate Divine Ability he had already used had stopped.
The illusory flame remained suspended in mid-air, completely still.
The space around Takke's body seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world, completely frozen.
"This..."
Andres, who was watching the battle, opened his eyes wide as he thought of Bowen's system information.
Innate Divine Ability – Spatial Confinement.
"This Innate Divine Ability involves the laws of space!"
The Azure Dragon's Innate Divine Ability, "Dragon's Roar," can alter the flow of time, while the Black Tortoise's Innate Divine Ability involves space.
The laws of time and space cannot be comprehended in the Coiling Dragon World; one can only touch upon them through Innate Divine Ability and other means.
Takke was completely immobilized due to Bowen Innate Divine Ability. Bowen naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He raised his greatsword and slashed fiercely at Takke.
An invisible ripple shot out from the greatsword and spread to Takke's body. Takke's body trembled and turned into dust, like a wisp of smoke, but due to the influence of his Innate Divine Ability, he remained suspended in mid-air.
"Buzz"
With the Spatial Confinement effect gone, the smoke dissipated with the wind.
"Wrong!"
Bowen's expression changed drastically, because he had not discovered Takke's Godhead.
His attack was not powerful enough to shatter even Godhead essence.
"Whoosh!"
Takke's Innate Divine Ability did not disappear; instead, they flashed into Bowen's body after the Spatial Confinement was lifted.
Bowen's eyes instantly went blank.
"Call"
The smoke from Takke's shattered body gathered together under the control of some unseen force, condensing back into Takke's body.
Takke was pale and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
"Fortunately, my innate ability 'Death Substitute' can help me withstand one fatal attack, otherwise..."
In the Coiling Dragon World, some powerful mythical beasts, in addition to their Innate Divine Ability, also possess other innate talents. For example, the Innate Divine Ability of the Purple Crystal Divine Beast is "Purple Crystal Barrier," while its innate talent is "Purple Crystal Space."
"Firebird" Takke also has a special ability that allows him to block a fatal attack, which is why he named his ability "Death Substitute".
With this talent, he survived many life-or-death crises.
However, his ability is limited; it can only be used once in a short period of time, and it cannot be used again in this battle at least.
"Hmph! I didn't expect Bowen's Innate Divine Ability to be so terrifying, but I'm still the one who wins!"
Takke's face was filled with murderous intent. At this moment, Bowen was being attacked by the illusory flames and was in a state of temporary disorientation.
Takke, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He gripped his Red Longspear tightly, and the sparks at the tip of the spear condensed into an incredibly dazzling point.
"Die!"
Takke thrust out his gun, aiming to kill Bowen before he regained consciousness.
"Not good!"
Andres's expression changed.
He also needs to obtain Black Tortoise's Innate Divine Ability; he can't let Bowen perish like this.
However, before he could make a move, he saw a huge Azure Dragon Shadow appear in front of him.
It was Azure Dragon Leiding who unleashed his Innate Divine Ability, "Dragon's Roar"!
"What's going on?" Takke's expression changed.
Dragon's Roar can alter the flow of time.
Under the influence of the Dragon's Roar's roar, Takke discovered that no matter how hard he tried, his shot couldn't reach Bowen's head.
The flow of time around his body changed.
When the effects of the Dragon's Roar's Roar wore off, Bowen had regained consciousness, and Riding appeared beside Bowen.
"Takke, my brother lost this match. We'll part ways here." Riding said calmly, then pulled the still somewhat unwilling Bowen along and flew into the distance.
Takke watched Riding and the other man's retreating figures, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He felt a strong threat from Bowen and wanted to kill him, but he was also very wary of Riding's strength.
He had no confidence in facing two opponents.
In the end, he did not choose to pursue and kill them.
Among the spectators.
"Dup, we're following too!"
Andres sent a telepathic message to Dup, then chased after Riding and the other man in the direction they had gone.
Having finally met two of the Four Divine Beasts, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get to know them and complete the Binding Quest.
"Master, why are we chasing after them? Those two are not to be trifled with!" Dup said worriedly.
"Don't worry, we're not going to provoke them."
Andres and his companion were spotted by Riding shortly after they gave chase.
Riding and Bowen stopped in mid-air and turned to look at Andres and Dup who were rushing towards them.
"What are you two trying to do?" Riding frowned, scrutinizing Andres and his companion with a wary look in his eyes.
Their expressions relaxed slightly when they Divine Sense that Andres was only Middle God.
"Gentlemen, my name is Andres, and this is my servant Dup. I mean no harm; I simply wish to make friends with you both," Andres said with a smile.
"He's your servant?" Riding and Bowen were both surprised.
After all, Dup was Highgod, while Andres was only Middle God.
"The Master-Servant Contract must have been signed when they were weak," the two thought to themselves.
Riding said calmly, "We have no interest, and you don't need to follow us. Otherwise, we won't be polite."
As he spoke, he turned to leave, clearly not wanting to get to know Andres.
Andres had anticipated this and said directly, "Bowen, don't you want to defeat Takke? If we spar with each other, we might be able to improve our understanding of the Profound Mystery."
"Spar? With your abilities?" Bowen glanced at Andres with disdain. "I am Highgod, having comprehended all the Profound Mystery of the Earth Law. I cannot improve any further. You don't even know that, yet you want to spar with me? How laughable!"
Upon hearing this, Andres's heart stirred.
Bowen's statement clearly indicates that they are unaware that the Profound Mystery can be fused.
