Especially since most of these God level experts were various divine beasts, their strength might be even greater.

Beirut had seen some Gods in the Qingya Plane before, but this was the first time he had encountered so many God level experts gathered together at once. Even after coming to the Divine Plane, this was still his first time seeing such a sight.

For a moment, Beirut felt somewhat excited. It seemed he needed to reach the High God level as soon as possible. With his innate talent, ordinary High Gods would be no match for him.

Then, he would definitely make a name for himself.

Calorona did not know what Beirut was thinking. She explained through Voice Transmission, "One side in this battle is Wai, a Seven-star Devil from the Xue Na Family. He is an expert in the Laws of Fire and was once the Grayblood Devil of Red Maple Prefecture. The other is Stuke, an elder of the White Tiger Clan within the Four Divine Beast Family, an expert in the Laws of Wind."

"Although Stuke has never taken the Seven-star Devil assessment mission, every elder of the Four Divine Beast Family possesses the strength of a Seven-star Devil."

Calorona added, "Over the years, the Four Divine Beast Family has not cared much about devil missions. To them, becoming a family elder is more important than obtaining the title of Seven-star Devil."

Calorona was also well aware of the Four Divine Beast Family's power.

The Four Divine Beast Family alone had over two hundred Seven-star Devils, and they could use Sovereign's Might freely. Even Asuras would find it troublesome to face an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family.

After all, no Asura could use Sovereign's Might at will.

On top of that, the Second Generation members of the Four Divine Beast Family were almost all Asura-level experts, and they possessed Sovereign Artifacts.

Finally, the Four Divine Beast Family had four powerful Overgods behind them. Just thinking about it made one feel helpless. They were simply too powerful.

"The Four Divine Beast Family..."

Beirut nodded, his small eyes growing somewhat profound.

Though he had not been in Hell for long, he had long heard of the Four Divine Beast Family. Beirut did not care about their arrogance. After all, the Divine Plane was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. The weak were bound to be bullied.

That was precisely why Beirut had always been cautious. Even when he went out adventuring, he had never intended to leave Red Maple Prefecture. Otherwise, he would not have stayed with Calorona all this time.

"This battle to the death between the two can be considered the greatest battle Red Maple Prefecture has seen in hundreds of millions of years."

Calorona continued, "Perhaps even Teacher is spectating."

"Prefecture Lord?"

Beirut's expression grew slightly solemn.

He knew that Calorona and the Prefecture Lord of Red Maple Prefecture were teacher and student, but he had never had the chance to meet that Prefecture Lord. He only knew that he was extremely powerful and had held his position in Red Maple Prefecture for tens of billions of years without wavering. Seven-star Devils had once challenged him, but all had been killed in a single move.

It was because she had such a powerful teacher that Calorona actually held a high position in Red Maple City.

"Teacher did not say so, but I believe he will come. Or perhaps he will have Mr. Bekali come record a shadow image."

Calorona said, "Teacher once said that Wai and Stuke were both true experts."

Bekali was the butler of Quinsang, the Prefecture Lord of Red Maple Prefecture, and he handled the various miscellaneous affairs of Red Maple Prefecture for Quinsang.

However, Calorona did not mention that since this involved a battle with the Four Divine Beast Family, quite a few experts from that family would likely come. Ordinary battles between Seven-star Devils would not draw such a crowd.

On a mountaintop not far from Beirut and the others, Lota stood quietly, with Morit and Kakqi behind him.

No one could see the three of them.

"The black-robed Lower God beside Calorona is Beirut."

Morit secretly sent a Voice Transmission to Kakqi.

Kakqi had already become Lota's emissary, so Morit naturally would not conceal anything regarding Lota's requests.

"This Beirut really is lucky..."

Kakqi had naturally noticed Beirut and could not help saying so.

With his Three-attribute Soul Mutation talent, becoming an Overgod's emissary was not difficult. The difficult part was becoming the emissary of a powerful Overgod, rather than just any random Overgod.

Although all Overgods were extremely powerful, it was naturally better to pledge oneself to a stronger one.

Even so, Kakqi had spent hundreds of millions of years searching, along with a bit of luck, before becoming the Dominator's emissary. Yet Beirut had gained the Dominator's attention while still a Lower God.

"Do not underestimate Beirut. From what I have observed, his talent is no weaker than ours."

Morit's tone turned more serious as he sent a Voice Transmission. "When I was in the Material Plane, I witnessed Beirut's Talent Divine Power. It was extremely strange! Later, the Dominator even said that once Beirut reached the High God level, few people without a Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact would be able to withstand his Talent Divine Power!"

It was precisely because of this that Morit paid close attention to Beirut.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Morit's words, Kakqi's expression changed slightly. "The Dominator actually evaluated Beirut's Talent Divine Power so highly?!"

Without a Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, few people could withstand it?!

If the Dominator had truly said it, then it could not be false. Based on that alone, Beirut would likely become nearly invincible. If an Overgod then bestowed a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact upon him, he would become another near-invincible figure!

Beirut's Talent Divine Power was actually so terrifying...

Kakqi felt solemn. At the same time, he made up his mind to build a good relationship with Beirut in the future.

Roar!

A thunderous tiger roar suddenly rang out.

The surrounding God level experts were all drawn by the sound and looked toward its source.

They saw a White Tiger Metal Life over a hundred meters long rapidly flying over from the horizon. The entire Metal Life was pure white, and the White Tiger resembled a real white tiger. Its eyes swept over the surroundings, faintly carrying a trace of pressure.

"It is an expert from the White Tiger Family!"

"Move aside!"

The surrounding Gods' expressions changed drastically upon seeing the Metal Life. Those in its path scattered like startled birds and beasts.

The Metal Life moved extremely quickly. Clearly, aside from the Metal Life itself, the expert piloting it was also very powerful.

After the Metal White Tiger flew above Gray Blood Mountain, it suddenly vanished. Then, dozens of High Gods dressed in the attire of the Four Divine Beast White Tiger Clan appeared. The leader had short white hair, golden eyes, and a white patterned cape behind him. He was Stuke, an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family and a Seven-star Devil expert.

Besides him, two others dressed similarly to Stuke stood alongside him, their status clearly no lower than his.

As for the remaining High Gods, whether in attire or bearing, they were somewhat inferior to the three of them. Yet even the weakest among them were Five-star Fiends from the White Tiger Family.

These few dozen people alone could form a powerful force in Hell.

From this glimpse, one could infer part of the Four Divine Beast Family's strength.

"Wai has not arrived yet. Could he have lost his nerve? Hahaha."

Stuke did not see Wai and could not help laughing loudly. His tone was filled with disregard for Wai and even the Xue Na Family. His voice echoed through heaven and earth. "Wai, if you have lost your nerve, I will not kill you. But I will erect this Stone Tablet on Gray Blood Mountain! Hahaha! Detour when you see the tablet! Hahaha!"

As he spoke, a massive Stone Tablet over a hundred meters tall suddenly appeared. It fell from the sky and slammed directly into Gray Blood Mountain below, sending countless broken rocks and clouds of dust flying.

Huge words were carved upon the Stone Tablet: [The First Family of the Four Divine Beast Family].

The surrounding God level experts could all hear Stuke's words, but none dared say anything. Many even felt that it would be understandable if Wai had indeed lost his nerve.

As for erecting a Stone Tablet, it was not such a big matter.

Furthermore, many Gods agreed with the words on the Stone Tablet. The Four Divine Beast Family was simply too powerful.

"This Stuke..."

Morit narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Stuke and the others. No one knew what he was thinking.

Kakqi also sighed inwardly. At first, he had wanted to become the emissary of one of the four Overgods of the Four Divine Beast Family. If he had not encountered the Dominator, he would likely now count as having "joined" the Four Divine Beast Family.

From a certain perspective, an Overgod's emissary was also an "outside supporter" of the Overgod's family. Saying he had joined the Four Divine Beast Family would not be wrong.

Just as everyone was looking at the Stone Tablet, from another direction, a man with loose hair flew toward Gray Blood Mountain, his entire body wreathed in flames.

The man wore a mask covering half his face. A saber as tall as a person and two fingers wide was strapped to his back, and it too burned with flames.

He was Wai, the Seven-star Devil of the Xue Na Family.

Unlike the Four Divine Beast Family, no other members of the Xue Na Family appeared besides Wai.

"Stuke!"

Wai's eyes held only Stuke. His Spiritual Sense locked directly onto Stuke, and his voice carried towering fury.

"It is the Grayblood Devil!"

Quite a few High Gods immediately cried out when they saw Wai.

Clearly, not everyone had forgotten Wai, the former genius of Red Maple Prefecture.

Especially given Wai's appearance today. He had abandoned the elder's attire he usually wore within his family and returned to the outfit he had worn while adventuring through the Divine Plane countless years ago. Even his face had changed back to how it had looked in those days.

At that time, he was the Grayblood Devil!

Today, he was still the Grayblood Devil.

The moment Wai appeared, the experts of the White Tiger Family noticed him.

"Stuke, we will leave this to you."

The two men standing beside Stuke had smiles in their eyes and showed no concern.

"Hehe, do not worry."

Stuke was also extremely confident. His eyes fixed on the approaching Wai. "I was just thinking of refining another Honey Ice Flower. I will use Wai's Heart Bone as the material!"

The other two then led the rest of the group to a mountaintop to spectate.

The Gods originally on that mountaintop hurriedly left.

Seeing this, the Four Divine Beast Family could not help laughing loudly. This was the might of their Four Divine Beast Family. They were the first family of the Divine Plane!

With such prestige, how could any other family compete with them?

"Hehe, I did not expect you to come after all. Not bad, not bad."

Stuke looked at Wai before him and laughed indifferently.

Although Wai had changed his appearance, his Soul Aura had not changed. No matter what he looked like, he could not hide from Stuke's senses.

"Stuke, today, I will make you accompany Lily in death!"

As Wai's words fell, he stopped listening to Stuke. He directly drew the saber from his back and, without restraint, poured out his divine power. Transforming into a stream of light, he slashed straight at Stuke.

Countless flames appeared out of nowhere, as though they were burning directly in mid-air. The terrifying heat even caused the Black Jade Stone on Gray Blood Mountain to begin melting.

Where the Flame Blade passed, a long crack appeared in space.

Stuke had originally intended to say a few more words to Wai, but this fellow actually dared attack first, cutting off the rest of Stuke's words.

Hmph!

Stuke snorted coldly. Unafraid of Wai's technique, he instantly transformed into countless wind elements and vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, Stuke was high in the air. The wind elements around him formed countless enormous wind blades in the blink of an eye.

The wind blades circled Stuke. A pair of huge dark-golden Tiger Claw weapons appeared on his hands, and as the Tiger Claws appeared, all the wind blades gathered upon them.

Break for me!

Stuke's eyes turned golden, blazing with light. He thrust both claws forward, sending terrifying energy howling outward. Countless wind blades formed the phantom of a massive tiger claw that tore forward.

Then, Stuke did not stop. He actually flew forward directly, following behind his own attack as he sought to engage Wai in close combat.

Close combat was his specialty!

Wai—or rather, the Grayblood Devil—saw Stuke face him head-on, and a glimmer flashed through his eyes.

You are seeking death yourself!

Boom~~~

The Flame Blade collided with the tiger claw phantom, and terrifying energy surged in all directions. Cracks appeared throughout space beneath the impact. It was clear that neither of their previous attacks had been a probing move.

"Hahaha, Wai, is that all you are capable of?"

Seeing Wai appear somewhat "surprised" after the clash, Stuke burst into wild laughter. At the same time, his body shot forward, and his Tiger Claws reached directly for Wai's head.

If Wai did not dodge, Stuke was confident he could crush Wai's head with a single claw.

However, he did not think he could kill Wai so easily. Wai was a Seven-star Devil as well. To kill him, Stuke might have to use his Talent Divine Power or expend a drop of Sovereign's Might.

He mocked Wai, but he had no choice but to acknowledge Wai's strength. A Seven-star Devil was no weakling.

"Hmm?!"

But just as he approached Wai, Wai's dodging speed was actually so slow?

And there was even a cold smile in Wai's eyes?!

Only a single thought flashed through Stuke's mind, and he had no time to think further. Since you are not in a hurry to dodge, then die!
