Montra's Order
Andres looked at everyone and saw the unease in their hearts, so he smiled and comforted them, "The situation is not so bad yet. With my current strength, there are not many people on the Blood Peak Continent who can fight me. If a strong person that I cannot handle really appears, it is not too late to retreat from Iron Saber Gorge."
He flipped his hand and took out a Space Ring. He had just checked the Space Ring of the Four Great Families patriarchs of Somuo City, and they contained quite a few Highgodhead. After all, this was the wealth accumulated by the Four Great Families of Somuo City over the years.
Andres handed the Space Ring to Cilia.
"There are quite a few Godhead here, both Middle God and Highgodhead. Select some trustworthy people and bestow the Godhead upon them. By the way, it would be best if they had two souls and multiple bodies," Andres instructed.
With these Godhead, it won't be long before he can quickly assemble an army of Highgod.
He requested that his soul be divided into two parts, mainly to facilitate the transmission of intelligence. His idea was that most of these Highgod would be sent to various parts of Hell to collect intelligence in the future, and leaving one body in Iron Saber Gorge would allow them to transmit messages in a timely manner.
Cilia took the Space Ring and examined it, and was immediately startled.
"How can there be so many Highgodhead?"
Andres laughed and said, "They were all obtained from the Space Ring of the Four Great Families patriarchs."
Everyone suddenly realized, and Yasen couldn't help but laugh, " With the Four Great Families down, it'll be our turn to eat our fill!"
Everyone laughed.
The group flew back to Iron Saber Gorge, Cilia immediately began selecting suitable people.
Although Andres entrusted the task to Cilia, he did not simply relinquish his authority. He used the system to select individuals with talents exceeding those of ordinary Highgod and instructed Cilia not to bestow upon them Godhead.
It would be such a waste to have the talent to Independent godhood but instead Refine Divine Spark.
There were others who, although they did not have multiple bodies, were trusted by Andres and were granted Godhead, such as Yasen and the Human Saint Realm.
As Godhead were bestowed one by one, the power of Iron Saber Gorge gradually increased.
The situation at Iron Saber Gorge has stabilized, but Andres did not send the Fire God Clone back to the Skyrite Mountains.
News of the Teleportation Array inevitably spread; Iron Saber Gorge would be attacked, and Andres felt that the other Teleportation Array would not be safe either.
If a powerful individual were to occupy another Teleportation Array and travel directly to Iron Saber Gorge via Teleportation Array, then the "Boulder Guard" would be useless, and he would need to remain in Iron Saber Gorge to oversee the situation, just in case.
Skyrite Mountains.
"Brother Andres, I've come to challenge you to a duel!"
Before Lius arrived, a loud voice rang out.
Lius pushed open the gate to the courtyard where Andres lived and strode in.
Since they both practiced Wind Elemental Law, Lius would often come to spar with Andres.
After a thousand years of cultivation, Nimo has fused two Profound Mystery of the Fire Elemental Law, and Lius has fused three profound Profound Mystery of the wind element. However, Riding and Bowen have not improved much and are still far from fusion of the three profound Profound Mystery.
The Fusion Profound Mysteries becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. Their talent in fusion of Profound Mystery is only at the Seven-star Demon level, and coupled with the fact that they are already Highgod, their fusion speed is very slow, far inferior to that of Andres.
"Lius, if I win this time, tell me how good your Innate Divine Ability?" Andres said with a smile.
He was very curious about the White Tiger's Innate Divine Ability, after all, it was Innate Divine Ability Leis Jing said was even stronger than "God Devouring", but he had not had the opportunity to see it in all these years.
He often sparred with Lius and gradually discovered that Lius was simple and honest with no guile. Therefore, he wanted to try to find out about Lius's Innate Divine Ability directly.
"No way." Lius scratched his head in frustration. "My brother said that we should not use this method or talk about it unless absolutely necessary."
"You can't even tell me?"
"I can't say." Lius nodded with absolute certainty.
Upon hearing this, Andres understood that Riding had not truly considered him one of his own.
However, he wasn't surprised, because he had done the same thing; he hadn't told Riding and the others about the Teleportation Array.
There was not enough trust established between Andres and the Four Divine Beasts.
The Four Divine Beasts were polite to Andres because they valued his talent and wanted to recruit him.
Andres approached the Four Divine Beasts primarily for their Innate Divine Ability.
Over the years, he had also learned a lot about the strength of the Skyrite Mountains from the sidelines. He discovered that the four of them, including Riding, were extremely wary of Montra of the Sea of Stars Mist.
This puzzled him.
Even if Montra is a strong being comparable to Xing Yi, according to the information in the original work, Xing Yi, although not an ordinary race, is most likely not Super Divine Beast of the level of the Four Divine Beasts.
In this era, without the Sovereign Artifact, Montra and Xing Yi could not have reached the Paragon. If they were the "God Devour Rat" of the Highgod, they could have easily slaughtered everyone with their Innate Divine Ability "God Devouring".
The White Tiger's Innate Divine Ability is said to be even stronger than "God Devouring," yet Riding and the others are wary of Montra, which Andres cannot understand.
Not to mention, the four of them, including Riding, should also possess Combined Innate Divine Ability.
"Could it be that Riding and the others haven't mastered the Combined Innate Divine Ability yet? Does Lius's Innate Divine Ability also have some kind of limitation? Unlike 'God Devouring'?" This was the only explanation Andres could think of.
However, Riding and the others kept their mouths shut, and he was unable to confirm his suspicions.
"Andres, shall we begin our sparring?" Lius asked sheepishly when he saw Andres lost in thought.
"Oh, of course."
Andres stopped thinking about it and became very interested in his sparring match with Lius.
Although Lius has not fused as many Profound Mystery as Andres, Lius has fused three Profound Mystery: "Wind Elemental Law," "Dimension," and "Wind Space." Among them, "Wind Space" is exactly what Andres is currently comprehending. Sparring with Lius can bring him a lot of inspiration and enlightenment.
"Call"
The wind howled in the courtyard.
The two began to fight.
However, not long after they started sparring, a guard from one of the Four Divine Beasts Family arrived outside the courtyard.
"Lord Lius, Lord Andres, Riding has urgent business and requests your presence in the main hall."
Andres and Lius both stopped fighting at the same time.
"Big brother is looking for us? Then let's hurry over there!" Lius listened to Riding and immediately flew towards the main hall.
"What's the matter that's so urgent?" Andres was also curious. He had lived in the Skyrite Mountains for a thousand years, Riding rarely called him to meetings.
After all, his current relationship with the Four Divine Beasts Family is merely a cooperative one, Riding will not allow him to participate in many clan affairs.
Andres also took flight and flew with Lius to the main hall of the Four Divine Beasts Family.
The main hall where the Four Divine Beasts Family held their council was the same place where Andres held a banquet when he first arrived at the Skyrite Mountains.
At this moment, Riding, Nimo, Bowen had all arrived in the hall.
With the arrival of Andres and Lius, there were exactly five people.
Seeing Andres and the other person, Riding nodded. "Everyone's here, let's begin."
"Brother, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Bowen asked.
He had obviously just arrived and didn't know what had happened.
Riding said in a deep voice, "I just received news that Montra and Xing Yi seem to be about to go to war. Montra sent someone to order the four of us to go to the Sea of Stars Mist to deal with Xing Yi together."
"Start the war!"
Nimo, Lius, Bowen all changed their expressions.
"Why the sudden outbreak of war?" Nimo asked curiously.
Although Montra and Xing Yi have long been at odds, neither of them can do anything to the other, so they haven't fought each other for many years, at most there are some conflicts between their subordinates.
"It is said that a mysterious Magic Array has been discovered on the Sea of Stars Mist, which can teleport to other planes. Now, both sides are gathering their strongest warriors in order to compete for this Magic Array," Riding said.
Upon hearing this, Andres' heart stirred.
"Could it be that Montra and Xing Yi discovered the Teleportation Array in the Sea of Stars Mist?"
Although it was just a guess, Andres felt it was pretty close to the truth.
His first thought was to have someone teleport him to the Teleportation Array in the Sea of Stars Mist to confirm, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
At this moment, the status of the Teleportation Array in the Sea of Stars Mist is unknown. If they were to teleport there and Xing Yi and Montra noticed Iron Saber Gorge, it might backfire.
He decided to first have his Fire God Clone lead the people of Iron Saber Gorge to prepare for the situation, and then observe the developments.
"Magic Array that can teleport to other planes?" Unlike Andres, Nimo and the others were full of doubt. They had never heard of Teleportation Array, let alone knew that there were other planes besides Hell.
Riding shook his head. "I don't know much either. Montra didn't reveal much information. He only sent someone to give orders for the four of us siblings to set off immediately for the Sea of Stars Mist."
Bowen frowned and said, "Brother, it's normal for Montra to gather his troops to fight Xing Yi. However, if none of us four siblings are in the Skyrite Mountains, we won't even have time to come to the rescue if something happens here."
Their Four Divine Beasts practice is to leave at least two of them in the Skyrite Mountains.
Just like when Bowen set off from the Skyrite Mountains and headed east to challenge the strong, only Riding accompanied him to prevent Bowen from being in danger of losing his life if he failed the challenge, while Nimo and Lius stayed behind to protect him.
Riding said, "That's what I'm worried about too. Montra specifically emphasized that all four of us should go. What are your thoughts?"
"No matter what, someone must stay behind to protect the Skyrite Mountains," Bowen said firmly. His wife was in the Skyrite Mountains, and he wouldn't feel at ease if none of his four siblings were there.
"I think so too," Nimo said.
"Uh, I don't understand. Anyway, I'll do whatever you tell me to do," Lius said, scratching the back of his head with a sheepish expression.
It's not surprising that Riding and the other two knew Lius's personality.
Riding thought for a moment and said, "Then that's settled. Nimo, you stay here. I'll take Bowen and Lius to the Sea of Stars Mist."
"I have no objection, but how do we explain this to Montra?" Nimo asked.
Riding pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Andres: "Brother Andres, how about you come with us to the Sea of Stars Mist?"
"Big brother, do you want Andres to replace me?" Nimo transmitted his voice to Riding.
"That's right, Montra wants all four of us to go, but I'm not comfortable with the Skyrite Mountains. Andres is quite strong, so it makes sense to have him replace you," Riding transmitted his voice.
"Would this kid be willing?"
"It would be best if he were willing. If not, we'll have to force him to Supreme God's Oath and pledge allegiance to us." A hint of coldness appeared in Riding's voice transmission.
"Don't worry, big brother."
Nimo, Bowen, and Lius all heard Riding's telepathic message and secretly prepared to make their move.
Andres was naturally unaware of the communication between the Four Divine Beasts. After hearing Riding's words, he was quite tempted. If he could go with Riding and the others, he would know the situation of the battle as soon as possible. No matter who the Teleportation Array of the Sea of Stars Mist ultimately fell into, he would be able to respond in time.
However, he didn't rush to agree. Instead, he asked, "How strong is Montra? How does he compare to Brother Riding and the others? All four of you are divine beasts with Innate Divine Ability. Even if you join forces, are you not confident of defeating him?"
He wanted to take this opportunity to find out the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts, especially the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger.
The Four Divine Beasts exchanged glances, and finally Riding spoke up, "That Montra is very strong. In a one-on-one fight, even if we have fused two Profound Mystery now, we still can't defeat him. Fusing three profound Profound Mystery might be possible. As for Innate Divine Ability, our Innate Divine Ability are not very effective against him. Perhaps our third brother's..."
At this point, Riding paused, looked at Andres, and gave a meaningful smile, "Brother Andres, putting that aside, what are your thoughts? Would you like to come with us to the Sea of Stars Mist? Don't worry, we'll be safe together."
Andres did not answer immediately, but fell into thought.
Although Riding had only provided limited information, he still gained something from it.
First and foremost is Montra's strength.
The Four Divine Beasts have now fused two profound Profound Mystery, and with a tenfold increase in physical strength, their physical attacks are comparable to those of Six-star Demon. If their Innate Divine Ability are also taken into account, they might even threaten Seven-star Demon. However, Riding still felt that he couldn't defeat Montra and that he needed to fuse three profound Profound Mystery to have a chance.
"So, Montra is at least Seven-star Demon, or even more."
Andres also felt some pressure.
Even now, when he goes all out, Fused Divine Power with the fusion of six profound Profound Mystery- elemental techniques, he is only at the Seven-star Demon level.
"It seems unnecessary. It's best not to fight Montra," Andres thought to himself.
The second gain was the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts.
Although Riding didn't finish speaking, Andres could tell that Riding didn't know that the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts could be combined.
In addition, Lius's Innate Divine Ability is different from the other three of the Four Divine Beasts, but Riding did not finish explaining what it was, obviously not wanting Andres to know.
Andres remained silent, Riding and the other three gradually grew impatient.
"What are you thinking? Don't stay silent!" Nimo said, displeased.
Hearing Nimo's words, Andres snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at Riding and the other three.
As long as he is careful on this trip to the Sea of Stars Mist, he should be able to survive.
"Okay, let's go together," Andres agreed.
