Uthered's binding quest

Nimo's tone displeased Andres, who said coldly, "I said that as long as you defeat Tierri and Aolte, I will not fight you for the Teleportation Array in the Green Spirit Great Marsh. Now this Teleportation Array is yours, and you can do whatever you want with it. However, I suggest that you do not start a conflict with the Abyss Plane for the time being."

After Andres finished speaking, he didn't linger and returned to Green Spirit City with Pash, leaving only Bowen and Nimo behind.

Looking down at the now empty castle, Bowen said worriedly, "Second sister, I think Andres is right. The strength of this Abyss Plane should not be underestimated. It's best not to take over this Teleportation Array for now."

"I know, hmph. First, send the information back to Big Brother and let him make the decision," Nimo snorted, turning back to glare fiercely at Andres' departing figure.

Andres and Pash left the castle aboard Metal Life.

Inside the Metal Life, Pash saw through the transparent inner wall that Bowen and Nimo also left in the Metal Life shortly after they left.

Pash immediately came over to report to Andres.

"My lord, the Four Divine Beasts Family did not occupy the Teleportation Array; they have left as well," Pash said.

"Okay." Andres breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that Nimo might do something foolish and try to take over the Teleportation Array.

If that's the case, the Four Divine Beasts Family might clash with the Abyss Plane.

Once the war starts, Andres will find it difficult to stay out of it, since he hasn't yet obtained Nimo and Riding's Innate Divine Ability and can't let them die like this.

"That's for the best. We'll talk about everything after I break through," Andres thought to himself.

When Andres returned to Green Spirit City aboard Metal Life.

People in the Blood Peak Continent, Somuo City, and Iron Saber Castle also learned about the situation in Iron Saber Gorge.

Leighton hurriedly arrived at the courtyard where Andres's Fire God Clone was located.

"Master, the situation at Iron Saber Gorge has been clarified."

Andres opened his eyes from his meditation. "Don't rush, speak slowly."

Leighton composed himself and said, "Master, Iron Saber Gorge is currently occupied by a group of people from a Material Plane called the Abyss Plane. Although it is Material Plane, they are very powerful, with many Highgod among them. What should we do?"

Andres was not surprised that he already knew about the Abyss Plane, and casually said, "Just have someone keep an eye on their movements, that's all."

"Yes," Leighton said. "Master, there is one more thing. We have received intelligence that battles have recently taken place at other Teleportation Array, and even the Teleportation Array on the Muya Continent has changed hands. Master, should we investigate this carefully?"

"No need, I know what's going on. There's no need to investigate. We don't need to do anything during this time. Let me break through first," Andres said.

"Does the master know?"

Leighton was startled by Andres's words, but seeing that Andres had no intention of explaining, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Yes, Master, then I'll take my leave."

"Um."

Leighton turned and walked out of the courtyard, but before he could reach the gate, he heard Andres's voice again.

"Etc!"

Leighton turned his head and saw that Andres' eyes were wide open, and his face was full of shock.

"Master, what's wrong?" Leighton was puzzled, not understanding why Andres had suddenly called him back.

Andres didn't speak immediately; he was still in shock.

At this moment, the system information for Uthered in his mind changed.

Originally, Uthered's Binding Quest was "none", but now it has become "help Uthered defeat Yibai'er".

"Yibai'er? The King of the Abyss Plane? The two of them have crossed paths? Could it be for the sake of the Teleportation Array in the Sea of Chaos?" Andres was uncertain.

He hadn't expected this change to happen, but it was a good thing for him because he finally had the opportunity to complete Uthered's Binding Quest.

After recovering from his shock, Andres said to Leighton, "Leighton, immediately pass the message down to check the Teleportation Array in Uthered and the Sea of Chaos. See if anything major has happened recently, quickly!"

"Master, I'll go right away!"

Leighton sensed the urgency in Andres's tone and, not daring to delay, left immediately.

Andres waited for a month before Leighton finally came to report to Andres with confirmed intelligence.

"Master, look here!"

Leighton took out a Shadow Projection Crystal Ball, Crystal Ball displayed a battle between powerful individuals.

Andres recognized the location of the battle as the seabed where the Sea of Chaos Teleportation Array was located.

The two sides in the battle were Uthered and a Bald Man whose body was covered with strange black patterns.

Leighton said, "Master, our people in the Sea of Chaos have found out that a month ago, a great battle took place at the Sea of Chaos Teleportation Array. After the battle, the Sea of Chaos Teleportation Array changed hands. This is Floating Shadow of that battle."

Andres remained silent, focusing intently on the battle within the Shadow Projection Crystal Ball.

The battle was intense, but the process was actually quite short.

In the scene, a huge "Dark Kun" phantom appears behind Uthered. He unleashes his Innate Divine Ability and attacks the Bald Man with Black Spear.

Uthered instantly unleashed countless spear shadows, each wreathed in black light.

This is Uthered's strongest move, and it's combined with his Innate Divine Ability "Soul Prison," making it arguably his most powerful killing move.

Andres saw that, under the influence of the Soul Prison, the Bald Man's eyes momentarily lost focus, but he soon regained his composure. He held a Black Longsword in his hand, and with a single thrust, all of Uthered's spear shadows were shattered, and the sword light even severed half of Uthered's head.

If Uthered hadn't tilted his head at the last moment, he would have perished.

Having narrowly escaped death Uthered seemed to know he was no match for the Bald Man, and turned and flew away into the distance without looking back.

The scene with the Shadow Projection Crystal Ball ends here.

Andres stared at the Shadow Projection Crystal Ball with an extremely solemn expression.

Uthered's current strength is equivalent to that of a lower-middle-level Commander. The Bald Man defeated Uthered so easily, so his strength must be at least that of a higher-middle-level Commander, similar to Linley in the original work when he fused four profound Profound Mystery to create the Inch of Land, Foot of Sky technique.

"It seems this is Yibai'er."

Based on the system information, Andres easily guessed the Bald Man's identity.

He guessed that Uthered triggered the Binding Quest because he was extremely unwilling to accept defeat to the King of the Abyss Plane "Yibai'er".

"After my breakthrough in wind element, the fusion of two Highgod Power will make it possible for me to fight him. To win, I will need to rely on 'Spatial Confinement' or 'Tiger Roar'." Andres felt that this was a bit tricky.

What's more troublesome is that Uthered's Binding Quest is to "help Uthered defeat Yibai'er," which means that Andres can't just defeat Yibai'er directly.
