A powerful aura suddenly erupted, and in an instant, the whip broke free from Kakqi's restraints.
Kakqi's whip missed, but a massive hole was torn directly through the space where Bert had been standing, revealing the Space Turbulence within.
In the distance, whether they were High Gods from the Four Divine Beast Family or the captured God level experts, all of them were stunned by Kakqi's sudden appearance.
He was definitely a Super strong person at the Asura level!
Otherwise, he could not possibly possess such terrifying attack power!
"Worthy of the Four Divine Beast Family."
Seeing Bert immediately expend Sovereign's Might, Kakqi could not help but remark.
Only a family on the level of the Four Divine Beast Family could afford to expend Sovereign's Might so recklessly. If it had been any other Seven-star Devil, they would not have had Sovereign's Might to evade that blow.
Even if some Seven-star Devils possessed Sovereign's Might, they would be reluctant to use it unless they were at death's door.
"You're courting death!"
Bert's face darkened with fury as a ceaseless azure aura radiated from his body. It was the aura of dispersed wind-element Sovereign's Might.
After using wind-element Sovereign's Might, his strength increased a hundredfold. Even against an Asura expert, he had the power to fight.
This was one of the reasons the Four Divine Beast Family was so powerful. When the family's Seven-star Devils used Sovereign's Might, they could temporarily be regarded as Asura experts.
And every elder of the Four Divine Beast Family possessed several drops of Sovereign's Might!
A tiger-headed warblade appeared in Bert's hand. Violent energy gathered as he hacked toward Kakqi.
"Perfect. Let me experience the strength of an elder from the Four Divine Beast Family."
Even though Bert had used Sovereign's Might, Kakqi was not worried. He directly charged forward to meet him head-on.
Although Bert could be considered a Seven-star Devil, his overall strength only reached that level after accounting for his Talent Divine Power.
In Hell—or rather, throughout the Divine Planes—there were very few who could become Seven-star Devils solely by fusing four Profound Mysteries. After all, Profound Mystery Fusion was far too difficult.
Thus, most experts with Seven-star Devil strength had merely fused three Profound Mysteries. Coupled with one of their own Ultimate moves, that was enough to give them Seven-star Devil strength.
Some with special talents, or beings with Soul Mutation, could even reach Seven-star Devil strength after fusing only two Profound Mysteries.
Talent and fortuitous opportunities were both part of one's strength.
As for experts who had fused four Profound Mysteries, so long as they painstakingly developed a few Ultimate moves, they would stand at the pinnacle among Seven-star Devils and might even have the chance to challenge an Asura.
The weakest Asura was ten times stronger than a Seven-star Devil.
Fusing four Profound Mysteries, then possessing an Ultimate move with a tenfold boost—or some Talent Divine Power technique—basically placed one at the level of the weakest Asura.
In fact, experts who reached Asura strength through Fourfold Fusion plus techniques were somewhat inferior to those who had independently fused five Profound Mysteries but possessed no other techniques. After all, fusing five Profound Mysteries improved every aspect of one's strength to varying degrees.
Techniques, however, generally enhanced only one aspect.
Bert's comprehension of Profound Mysteries was not particularly strong. In terms of Profound Mystery Fusion alone, he had only fused six of the nine Profound Mysteries of the wind laws. At most, that was comparable to fusing three Profound Mysteries from other laws. Only with the enhancement of his Talent Divine Power did he possess Seven-star Devil strength.
Now that he had used Sovereign's Might, he was really only ten times stronger than the weakest Asura.
Of course, this level of strength already placed him at the pinnacle of the Divine Planes. There were not many experts who could surpass this boundary.
Kakqi had lived for countless years. In his comprehension of the Life Law alone, he was already comparable to someone who had fused five law Profound Mysteries. At the same time, he possessed his own Ultimate moves and was dozens of times stronger than an ordinary Seven-star Devil.
He was several times stronger than the weakest Asura, perhaps even nearly ten times stronger.
Even without using Fused Divine Power or the fusion of Exotic Rule Law, he did not fear Bert after Bert used Sovereign's Might.
In fact, he only needed to use Two-attribute Fused Divine Power to easily defeat Bert, even with Bert using Sovereign's Might.
After all, Sovereign's Might displayed different levels of power in the hands of different experts. Given Bert's strength, being able to unleash a hundredfold increase in Sovereign's Might was already his limit.
Seeing that Kakqi still dared to fight him directly after he had used Sovereign's Might, Bert sneered inwardly. He really was seeking death!
This person before him might be some hidden Asura expert. If Bert could kill him, his name would surely resound throughout Hell! When that happened, the family would certainly reward him with even more Sovereign's Might!
Thinking of this, Bert became somewhat excited.
As for defeat? Impossible. He still had five drops of Sovereign's Might. He could exhaust this guy to death if nothing else.
Boom!
Boom!
The two seemed to transform into two Light rays, tangling together as terrifying energy poured out in all directions.
The watching High Gods stared at the battle with worship in their eyes.
A battle of this level was exceedingly rare.
Bang!
After one clash, the two separated.
Bert's expression had become increasingly grave, while Kakqi remained relaxed. "An elder of the Four Divine Beast Family is nothing more than this."
He had not even used Two-attribute Fused Divine Power. Relying solely on the most basic strength of his Life Divine Clone, there was no way Bert could kill him.
Even so, Kakqi had to admire the Four Divine Beast Family. This guy's comprehension of Profound Mysteries was far too lacking, but his body was much tougher than that of High Gods at the same level.
With the enhancement of his Talent Divine Power and Sovereign's Might, his strength had actually reached the Asura Realm. Kakqi even guessed that if Bert were willing to expend more Sovereign's Might, he might be able to secure the position of a Prefecture Lord.
This leap in strength was simply enormous.
There was a reason the Four Divine Beast Family was powerful.
"Who exactly are you?!"
How could Bert still fail to understand? This guy before him was likely a top-tier existence even among Asuras.
Otherwise, an ordinary Asura expert could not possibly still be his opponent after he used Sovereign's Might.
The gap between Asuras was enormous. Even the family patriarch generally would not directly provoke those peak Asura experts.
"Me? You aren't worthy of knowing."
Kakqi sneered. Having figured out Bert's current strength, he lost interest in playing around.
Fused Divine Power surged forth, and Kakqi's speed instantly increased a hundredfold as he charged directly at Bert.
"What?!"
Kakqi's sudden burst of speed instantly made Bert's face change drastically. What kind of terrifying speed was this?!
At such a distance between them, he did not even have time to unleash his Talent Divine Power!
With such speed, this guy had definitely been hiding his strength just now! More importantly, Bert had not sensed the aura of Sovereign's Might from Kakqi. That meant this guy was using his own innate strength!
For a moment, Bert did not even know what level of existence he had provoked!
Could he be a Paragon High God?
That was the only possibility Bert could think of.
At that moment, Bert's heart was filled with despair.
But just then, heaven and earth suddenly fell silent. A powerful energy fluctuation abruptly appeared out of nowhere, and even Kakqi's figure involuntarily stopped beneath this energy.
As the energy fluctuation emerged, a pressure from the depths of the soul slowly appeared.
Kakqi was utterly shocked!
He knew this feeling of pressure arising from the depths of his soul all too well.
When the Dominator had accepted him as an emissary before, this feeling had appeared.
An Overgod—
had descended!
This was the only thought in Kakqi's mind.
Regarding Sovereign's Might.
The original work stated that Sovereign's Might had different levels of power in different people's hands.
However, there was not much further description of this later on. Of course, that was likely because the experts Linley encountered later were all extremely powerful and could bring out the full power of Sovereign's Might, so the difference was not apparent.
So, let's make a simple setting here: using Sovereign's Might did not mean invincibility. Sovereign's Might had a minimum and maximum amplification.
At minimum, it could amplify ordinary High God divine power by a hundredfold. In other words, if a Lower God used Sovereign's Might, they would roughly possess the strength of a Six-star Devil. At maximum, if a Paragon used Sovereign's Might, their strength would be a hundredfold stronger than when using divine power—or several hundredfold, depending on their familiarity with it. This was the power of a Paragon using Sovereign's Might in the original work.
God level experts in between would have their use of Sovereign's Might affected more or less by their own strength. Based on this, if the gap in strength exceeded a hundredfold, one could deal with an expert using Sovereign's Might even without using it oneself.
However, if the difference was only a hundredfold, then the user of Sovereign's Might would be stronger than one who did not use it. This could be calculated based on Sovereign's Might being superior to divine power, since Sovereign's Might enhanced every aspect.
Roughly speaking, Lower Gods had around a Ten-thousandfold difference, Middle Gods around a thousandfold, and High Gods around a hundredfold. These were all changes in divine power. The main difference really came after becoming a High God; Lower Gods and Middle Gods were just included for comparison.
An Overgod—
had descended!
This thought appeared in Kakqi's mind, and he was also immensely shocked. It was far too difficult to encounter an Overgod descending!
Even many Asura experts would not have the chance to see an Overgod even once over countless years. He had encountered the Dominator when becoming an emissary before, and now he had encountered another Overgod.
Countless streams of azure Sovereign's Might appeared out of thin air, forming more than a dozen thick torrents that converged. In the blink of an eye, they formed a gigantic azure face over ten meters tall in mid-air.
A terrifying aura and pressure instantly spread outward.
"Overgod!"
Kakqi immediately knelt and prostrated himself.
Although he was the Dominator's emissary, he still had to pay respects upon seeing other Overgods. Anyone who was not a Paragon High God had to kneel upon seeing an Overgod.
Beyond respect for Overgods, this was also due to the influence of their divine might.
"Overgod!"
Unconcealed excitement filled Bert's face as he hurriedly knelt. His eyes were filled with worship, and his face even flushed red.
He recognized it at once. This was the ancestor of the White Tiger Clan within the Four Divine Beast Family, the White Tiger Sovereign God whose mighty name resounded across countless planes! At the same time, he was Bert's ancestor!
The family's Seven-star Devils had the opportunity to meet their ancestor, and Bert had once been fortunate enough to see him. He could never forget the aura of the White Tiger Sovereign God.
He had not expected to see his legendary ancestor again today! It was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.
Aside from Kakqi and Bert, the other High Gods and the God level experts atop Ice Snow Mountain also uncontrollably knelt beneath the pressure, lowering their heads in reverence.
The giant face of the White Tiger Sovereign God ignored Bert and instead looked at Kakqi. In a thunderous voice, he said directly, "Are you willing to become my emissary?"
Though it was phrased as a question, there was clearly no room for refusal.
White Tiger naturally knew about Stuke within the family. They paid some attention to the family's Seven-star Devils as well. However, as an Overgod, he would not concern himself with matters such as a Seven-star Devil of the family being killed. After all, those were merely matters between gods.
Overgods would not interfere in the affairs of gods, even if someone beat up their Children.
Still, out of boredom, he had been observing the actions of the family's younger generation. Of course, it was only ordinary attention. Regardless of the outcome, he would not personally interfere.
Overgods and gods were no longer lifeforms on the same level.
But what he had not expected was to encounter a God level expert with Three-attribute Soul Mutation.
As an Overgod, so long as a God level expert used Fused Divine Power under their observation, it was impossible to conceal it from their sight.
White Tiger had also noticed Kakqi's battle with Bert from the beginning. He had merely felt that this guy's strength was fairly good; among Asuras, he could be considered quite powerful. He was likely second only to those peak Asuras.
Although this level of strength qualified him to become an Overgod's emissary, only after some Overgod's emissary died would those Overgods perhaps consider him out of boredom.
However, after Kakqi used Fused Divine Power, White Tiger developed the thought of taking him as an emissary.
A High God with Three-attribute Soul Mutation was almost as rare as a Paragon, perhaps even rarer. Though his strength could not compare to that of a Paragon High God, he was undoubtedly the strongest beneath Paragons.
In certain abilities, a High God with Three-attribute Soul Mutation was not much inferior to a Paragon High God.
In all of Hell, only Aiken, Zijing's emissary, possessed Three-attribute Soul Mutation. Even among Overgods, this was a great source of prestige, scarcely inferior to having a Paragon as an emissary.
He had not expected that he too would have the chance to encounter a High God with Three-attribute Soul Mutation.
A High God with Three-attribute Soul Mutation was indeed qualified to become his emissary.
Although he already had two emissaries, this was not a problem. He merely needed one emissary to "give up" their position.
