As a black light appeared, accompanied by a series of unintelligible "incantations," a powerful aura emerged from the center of the three individuals.
Even the High God man felt a tremor in his heart.
"Be careful! Attack quickly!"
The man transmitted a message to the clan members around him, and at the same time, flames erupted all over his body. These flames instantly formed a terrifying giant flame bird, which screeched and charged towards the three.
The man's expression was extremely grim.
Damn it!
He was born in the Dark God Realm and had lived there for eons. Naturally, he knew that Fallen Angels had a near "self-destructive" technique that was very powerful. But he hadn't expected these three to use it without hesitation. After all, using this move almost meant death.
Furthermore, this technique required at least three people to act in unison. If even one had a different thought, the power of this move would be greatly reduced.
But judging by the current situation, Swika and the other two had no conflicting thoughts.
Fallen Angels were all lunatics.
If it weren't for the family's need for the Angel's Heart, he wouldn't have been willing to fight the Fallen Angels.
The man's flame bird, along with the various attacks from over a dozen Mid Gods around him, reached the three in an instant.
But the three did not resist, allowing these techniques to strike their bodies.
After they unleashed their move, it became a powerful soul attack, sacrificing their souls. When they performed it, all their soul power had already been drained.
In a sense, their bodies were already "dead."
Naturally, they wouldn't resist.
However, even though they wouldn't resist, the attack formed by the three would not dissipate.
Although some of the soul attacks among these dozen or so attacks canceled out part of the energy of this move, it wasn't even a tenth.
Instantly!
This move transformed into a black stream of light, charging out from amidst the dozen or so attacks. After emerging, the stream of light surprisingly turned into a rain of swords, directly shooting towards the man and the dozen or so clan members behind him.
Soul attacks were very fast. Even if the few of them reacted, they still didn't have enough time to dodge.
Almost instantly, more than half of the clan members behind the man perished.
Not everyone's soul defense was strong.
Even though the man endured this black light, his eyes went momentarily blank, and the flames on his body extinguished for an instant. But strangely, at the moment the flames extinguished, they reappeared in gold.
As the flames reappeared, the man's eyes regained their clarity. However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with lingering fear.
Although he didn't endure much of the black light, this light was very strange, directly corroding his soul power. Even the soul fire couldn't completely burn away this black light. If it weren't for his sufficient bloodline concentration and his direct use of "Nirvana Power," he might have perished as well.
Among the Vermilion Bird Clan of the Four Divine Beast Family, the talent divine power did not provide much enhancement to attacks. What was truly powerful was their "Nirvana Power."
This Nirvana was not about dying and coming back to life. No God level being could achieve that. Even the Sovereign God of the Vermilion Bird, Nimo, could not truly achieve Nirvana rebirth.
However, as long as it wasn't instant death, even if only a trace of soul power remained, Nimo's "Nirvana" possessed a rebirth-like effect.
She could consume "Nirvana Power" to "Bathe in Fire Nirvana" her damaged soul back to its peak state and dispel all continuous attacks the soul had previously endured. However, after Nirvana, the soul could not use this move again for a short period.
The soul is the foundation of life. The death of any life is the death of the soul.
Damage to the soul naturally has a significant impact on strength. In fact, even recovering from it is extremely difficult.
But with this Nirvana ability, Nimo of the Vermilion Bird practically had two lives in battle.
As for the clan members of the Vermilion Bird Clan, none of them possessed the powerful Nirvana Power of the Sovereign God. For them, using "Nirvana" had certain soul power limitations.
Even for the Second Generation clan members, once they lost more than half of their soul power, they could no longer perform Nirvana.
For other clan members, it was even less.
Take the man for example. He could only perform Nirvana before his soul power loss exceeded one-tenth. Once he exceeded this limit, he could only forcefully resist soul attacks.
However, as long as they weren't dead, their ability to recover their soul injuries far surpassed that of other God level beings.
But the attack from Swika and the other two just now gave the man an extremely strange feeling. That peculiar "devouring sensation" made him feel as if his soul was the opponent's ingredient.
In such a situation, how could he dare to think further? Naturally, he directly used his talent divine power.
Looking behind him, including himself, only five clan members remained! The others' faces were also deathly pale, clearly having used their talent divine power as well.
Although the other clan members also had the talent divine power "Nirvana," for those who were weaker or lacked sufficient bloodline concentration, this attack instantly broke the limit for them to perform their talent divine power.
It was even possible to directly annihilate their souls.
Three ten-winged Fallen Angels killed nearly ten of his clan members!
Looking again towards Swika and the other two, in their location, only three somewhat broken Fallen Angel corpses were falling towards the mountain below, still faintly emitting a "wicked" dark aura.
Fallen Angels, unlike the Bright Angels, or the natural angels and elemental angels born from heaven and earth, although they possessed a certain degree of self-awareness, they were no longer considered living beings.
They did not have a Divine Spark. Although they had their own souls, those souls were within the Angel's Heart.
Furthermore, their bodies were not truly composed of divine power but were bodies modified by the Rebirth Pool. They were similar to metal puppet weapons, just much more powerful.
Therefore, Fallen Angels and Bright Angels were more like advanced metal puppets with self-awareness that would never betray.
The so-called intermediate god and high god realms of Fallen Angels and Bright Angels were merely inferences based on their strength.
Ten wings and twelve wings were just the minimum standards for Fallen Angels and Bright Angels, not fixed. For example, Swika, a ten-winged Fallen Angel, possessed the strength of a high god.
There were even ten-winged Fallen Angels stronger than Swika, possessing the strength of a six-star shadow walker.
As for twelve-winged Fallen Angels, their strength was at least that of a seven-star shadow walker, with some even approaching the power of an Asura! Fallen Angels of this caliber were few and far between, considered elite powerhouses within the entire Dark God Realm.
"Take these three corpses back!"
The man suppressed his trembling fear towards Swika and the others and directly ordered, "Dig out their Angel Hearts."
The bodies of Fallen Angels, along with their Angel Hearts, were extremely precious materials in the Divine Plane. The Angel Heart, in particular, was even more valuable than a divine spark.
After all, divine sparks were abundant in the Divine Plane, but not everyone had the ability or the courage to kill an angel.
With these three ten-winged Angel Hearts, the loss wouldn't be too great.
"Yes!"
The remaining four clansmen, though their eyes still held a trace of lingering fear, also showed a glint of excitement.
This was their battle achievement!
Just as the group was flying towards the three Fallen Angel corpses, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly appeared from above.
The man and his clansmen's expressions changed drastically.
"Who's there!"
The man immediately unleashed his full defensive power, his spiritual sense scanning the surroundings as he roared.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort was the only response.
Following that was a world-ending blade light. Where the blade light passed, the space itself cracked!
Seeing the spatial cracks, the man's face turned ashen!
This terrifying attack was beyond his ability to resist. Who wanted him dead?!
No one explained. The man didn't even have time to escape before the blade light swept past, instantly annihilating him and his clansmen.
As the blade light vanished, Kakqi's figure landed on the ground.
He casually collected the divine sparks of the man and his clansmen, then turned his attention to the three Fallen Angel corpses, which he also stored in his spatial ring.
"Four Divine Beast Family."
Kakqi frowned, then his spiritual sense spread out, detecting traces of battle in several areas. These traces still held residual auras, specifically the auras of the Four Divine Beast Family clansmen and the Fallen Angels.
Kakqi followed the trail of battle.
After flying for a thousand miles, Kakqi finally detected the figures of some bandits within his spiritual sense.
Immediately, Kakqi charged towards the bandits who were cautiously exploring the surroundings.
Most of these bandits were intermediate gods and naturally hadn't detected Kakqi's spiritual sense. When they finally discovered Kakqi, their expressions turned grim.
The leader's face was also pale. A high god!
"Hoff greets you, sir!"
The bandit leader didn't dare to think further and quickly spoke, fearing that the high god before him would instantly kill him.
The other bandits also cautiously paid their respects.
Kakqi looked at the man, showing no intention of attacking, and directly asked, "Where is this? Did you see any fighting before?"
Kakqi was somewhat puzzled by the Four Divine Beast Family's encirclement and killing of Fallen Angels. The Four Divine Beast Family was indeed powerful, and even he, unless he had become an emissary of an Overlord, would not want to provoke them.
However, even so, within the Dark God Realm, the Four Divine Beast Family wouldn't dare to casually encircle and kill Fallen Angels, right?
After all, even if the Overlord didn't care, other Fallen Angels would intervene.
The level of "unity" among Fallen Angels and Bright Angels was no less than that of the Four Divine Beast Family. Moreover, many Fallen Angels held positions in the Shadow Army. Did a branch of the Four Divine Beast Family dare to kill Fallen Angels?
If this were in another Divine Plane, or if it were a super expert from the Four Divine Beast Family, he might not have thought much of it. But could mere five-star shadow walker clansmen of the Four Divine Beast Family act so brazenly in the Dark God Realm?
This seemed to show too little regard for the Fallen Angels by the Four Divine Beast Family.
It was precisely because of this that Kakqi was somewhat puzzled and wanted to gather some information.
He was now an emissary of the Dark Overlord. The Overlord might not care about these matters, but he and Morit could not afford to ignore them.
Hearing Kakqi's question, the bandit leader cautiously replied, "Sir, this is the Black Jade Mountain Range. I did indeed witness a battle earlier. It was between three ten-winged Angel lords and a high god with over a dozen intermediate gods."
As if recalling the terrifying battle, the bandit leader's heart still pounded.
"Do you know the reason for the battle?"
Kakqi continued to inquire.
The bandit leader paused slightly, then shook his head, "As for the reason for the battle, I am unaware."
Kakqi's brow furrowed slightly.
Seeing Kakqi's expression, the bandit leader, fearing he would be killed, quickly added, "However, besides this battle, I have seen similar fights in other places before."
"Similar battles?"
Kakqi's brow twitched slightly.
The bandit leader nodded, recalling, "I was heading to Huis City back then and encountered a battle. One side was also an angel, and the other was a dozen or so dragonmen."
"Dragonmen?"
Kakqi's heart tightened slightly. "Could they be members of the Azure Dragon Clan from the Four Divine Beast Family?"
Dragonmen shared many similarities with the dragon transformation of the Azure Dragon Clan. Those unfamiliar with the Four Divine Beast Family would indeed easily mistake the Azure Dragon Clan's dragon transformation for dragonmen.
"I didn't dare to get close at the time, so I couldn't be sure."
Although the bandit leader was only a mid-level god, he was clearly aware of the Four Divine Beast Family.
In fact, even if he had gotten closer, he wouldn't have been able to distinguish whether they were members of the Four Divine Beast Family. He usually didn't have the opportunity to see members of the Four Divine Beast Family, otherwise, he would have recognized the Vermilion Bird Clan members from the previous battle here.
Although the Four Divine Beast Family had four branches, there were significant similarities in their auras. This was quite miraculous, as such a thing wouldn't happen in other families.
While Kakqi didn't get the exact answer he wanted from the bandit leader, he was almost certain in his heart that the dragonmen were, in all likelihood, members of the Azure Dragon Clan.
After all, what ordinary dragonman family would dare to fight fallen angels?
Furthermore, members of the Vermilion Bird Clan had also fought fallen angels here. It was unlikely to be such a coincidence.
Then there was only one possibility: for some reason, the Four Divine Beast Family had some friction and conflict with the fallen angels in the Dark God Realm.
Could it be because of what happened before?
Kakqi thought of Lota's previous meeting with the Four Divine Beast Sovereign God and dared not speculate further.
However, regardless of the reason, as an emissary of the Overlord, he could not stand by and watch the Four Divine Beast Family slaughter fallen angels at will.
Especially in the Dark God Realm.
Afterward, Kakqi directly took out over a dozen divine sparks and threw them to the bandit leader. "This is your reward."
