The spread of shadow images has begun.
Everyone knew the news:
The Fallen God Angel had annihilated Kalu City!
For a time, all the strong individuals in Black Mist Prefecture became cautious, and they tried their best to avoid discussing the matter. The previous hunt for Fallen God Angels by the Four Divine Beast Families was not a secret; almost all strong individuals with some power had heard of it.
After all, daring to hunt Fallen God Angels on a large scale in the Dark God Realm was no small matter. Those who dared to do so could not be ordinary forces. Moreover, the Four Divine Beast Families had no intention of concealing it; they were even subtly spreading the news.
Now, the twelve-winged Fallen God Angel directly annihilated Kalu City. This confrontational attitude had made the entire Shadow Continent tense. No one wanted to get caught between the two at this time.
Whether it was the renowned Four Divine Beast Families of the Divine Plane or the powerful and mysterious Fallen God Angels of the Dark God Realm, neither was someone they could afford to provoke.
There was no need to say much about the Four Divine Beast Families. They were spread across the Divine Plane, their prestige reaching its zenith. They had countless strong individuals, and more importantly, four Sovereign God ancestors. Such a force was undoubtedly among the top three in countless planes.
As for the Fallen God Angels, although they were not as widespread across the Divine Plane as the Four Divine Beast Families, they did not appear frequently even in the Dark God Realm. Even when they did appear, most were Fallen God Angels with fewer than ten wings.
However, for the super strong individuals who had lived in the Dark God Realm for countless eons, especially those who had experienced the era of Sovereign Gods vying for faith, the ones they least wanted to provoke were not the Four Divine Beast Families, but the Fallen God Angels.
The Sovereign Gods' struggle for faith, besides the battles between unknown Sovereign Gods in the Divine Plane, involved more combat among God-level strong individuals in the material planes. In the past, many God-level strong individuals followed the arrangements of the Sovereign Gods and descended to the material planes.
Now, many material planes had a large number of God-level individuals, and they were even well-informed about the Divine Plane. This was mainly due to the God-level individuals who descended back then.
The terror of the Fallen God Angels during the battles between God-level strong individuals in the War of Faith was deeply imprinted in the souls of these super strong individuals.
Although the Sovereign Gods were no longer particularly concerned about faith, even so, one could discern some clues by observing the religious beliefs in the material planes.
In the material planes, the number of Dark Churches was second only to the Light Churches, almost covering all material planes.
The development of these Dark Churches initially centered around Fallen God Angels.
The annihilation of Kalu City now also made many super strong individuals lament the power of the Fallen God Angels once again.
After all, destroying a city was not difficult. However, the destruction of Kalu City resulted in the fall of three elders of the Four Divine Beast Families, including Kalu himself.
The Four Divine Beast Families had hunted some Fallen God Angels in the Dark God Realm in recent years, but they had only hunted Fallen God Angels with ten wings, the strongest being at the Five-Star Shadow Walker level.
Yet, in the battle for Kalu City, the Four Divine Beast Families directly lost three elders.
This was a huge loss for the Four Divine Beast Families. An elder was equivalent to a Seven-Star Shadow Walker, a true strong individual. Even for the Four Divine Beast Families, Seven-Star Shadow Walkers were pillars of the family.
In the Divine Plane, it might not be possible for a Seven-Star Shadow Walker to fall in tens of thousands of years!
But counting the two elders, Stuke and Bert, who had fallen in Hell previously, the Four Divine Beast Families had now lost five strong individuals at the Seven-Star Shadow Walker level within just over a decade!
For the Four Divine Beast Families, this was probably the greatest loss in countless years.
Hell, Blood Peak Continent.
You Lan Prefecture, Sky Altar Mountain Range, Four Divine Beast Families.
The Azure Dragon Clan's grand hall.
Gaisreisen and the other three patriarchs of the Four Divine Beast Families wore solemn expressions.
Although the order to hunt Fallen God Angels came from Leiding and the other three, they were Sovereign Gods and could not personally intervene. Even with the order, they would not interfere in any subsequent matters.
Everything was handled by the clan members of the Four Divine Beast Families.
"You all know what happened, right?"
Gaisreisen looked at the others, a trace of anger in his voice. "Kalu and the other two's strongest Divine Clones have fallen."
Family elders usually kept Divine Clones within the family. It was through this that even though clan members were spread across the Divine Plane, the family could always know the situation of their clan members everywhere.
This also allowed them to gather information from all over the Divine Plane.
This, in turn, contributed to the strength of the Four Divine Beast Families.
Gus and the other two listened to Gaisreisen's words and nodded heavily.
"In just over a decade, this is the fifth elder to fall in the family. Five! An unimaginable number."
Gaisreisen continued, though his tone remained steady. "Regardless of why these five elders fell, this is the greatest loss since the establishment of the Four Divine Beast Families. We never suffered such heavy losses even when fighting against other Asura families. This is a disgrace to the Four Divine Beast Families, to us!"
The expressions of the others were also grim; it was indeed a disgrace.
The White Tiger Patriarch was silent for a moment before speaking directly, "According to the descriptions of Kalu and the other two, the attackers were six twelve-winged Fallen God Angels."
Although there were some shadow images, they were in the Dark God Realm. It was not possible to transmit them to Hell in a short time. Even though the clan members had collected the shadow images as quickly as possible, they had not yet arrived.
Therefore, all information could only be judged by word of mouth.
"According to Kalu and the other two, the reason they fell was that the leading Fallen God Angel possessed a Sovereign Artifact."
Mokorei, the Black Tortoise Patriarch, spoke with a hint of seriousness, adding, "The six of them used an Angel Battle Formation, combined with a Sovereign Artifact, and launched a surprise attack, instantly killing the three of them."
Sovereign Artifacts, the most powerful weapons. Any strong individual possessing a Sovereign Artifact was among the peak existences in the Divine Plane. This Fallen God Angel possessing a Sovereign Artifact meant they were either an Emissary of a Sovereign or a strong individual who had explored the Plane Battlefield.
The Four Divine Beast Families had never valued the Plane Battlefield and did not participate in it.
After all, the rewards from the Plane Battlefield were merely Sovereign Artifacts and Sovereign Power. Although Sovereign Artifacts were precious, the difficulty of obtaining them was too great. Even the four of them were not confident they could achieve it.
As for Sovereign Power?
The Four Divine Beast Families lacked nothing more than Sovereign Power. If it weren't for the need to motivate their clan members to cultivate, they could even equip all their clan members with Sovereign Power.
This was their foundation. This alone was enough to make all other families trail far behind.
It's normal for the Four Divine Beast Families to not care about the Plane Battlefield in this situation.
However, not caring doesn't mean they don't know the rules of the Plane Battlefield.
"Sovereign Artifact, Angel Battle Formation."
Vermilion Bird Patriarch Tiya's brows were also tightly furrowed.
"Even so, based on Kalu's description of the scene at the time, the strength of these six Fallen God Angels was probably even greater than ordinary Seven-star Devils."
Mokorei continued, "Because Kalu said they used Sovereign Power and our Black Tortoise Clan's Talent Divine Power, even then, they couldn't block that one sword strike."
They were also very clear about the Angel Wars. They had dealt with Light God Angels quite a bit in the Light God Realm. Of course, they were just ordinary Ten-Winged Light God Angels.
But even Ten-Winged Light God Angels, when they combined their Angel Wars, could easily deal with a Seven-star Devil.
Tiya naturally knew this and didn't ask further about it. Instead, her tone became somewhat serious, "These Fallen God Angels have Sovereign Artifacts. Could they be Sovereign's Emissaries?"
The Four Divine Beast Families had information on all the Sovereign's Emissaries in the Divine Plane, but none of them were Fallen God Angels.
"So what if they are Sovereign's Emissaries? Killing three Elders of our Four Divine Beast Families is unforgivable."
White Tiger Patriarch Gus snorted coldly, "Even if we kill him, the Sovereign God behind him won't be able to do anything to us."
Gaisreisen and the others didn't deny Gus's words.
After all, Sovereign Gods wouldn't interfere in matters between God-level experts. Even if a Sovereign God wanted to interfere, they would have to weigh whether they had the strength to do so.
The Four Divine Beast Families indeed had this confidence.
"Big Brother, let's make a move. This matter has a greater impact than Stuke's fall. If we don't kill this Fallen God Angel, how will our Four Divine Beast Families establish themselves in the Dark God Realm in the future?"
The golden circles in Gus's eyes glowed slightly.
Although Kalu said the opponent had a Sovereign Artifact and was likely a Sovereign's Emissary, other super families might be wary of them. However, the Four Divine Beast Families lacked neither Sovereign Artifacts nor Sovereign's Emissaries.
Tiya and Mokorei also looked at Gaisreisen.
Among the Four Divine Beast Families, Gaisreisen's command was the most important.
Gaisreisen glanced at the other three, nodded, and then directly said, "Notify all clan members in the Dark God Realm to head to Dragon Soul Prefecture and prepare. Have Todd accompany Mr. Rivev and Mr. Artis to the Dark God Realm's Dragon Soul Prefecture."
Todd Leiding was Gaisreisen's son and a third-generation clan member of the Four Divine Beast Families. Even without a Sovereign Artifact, his strength was among the very top Seven-star Devils.
The appearance of a third-generation disciple showed the importance the Four Divine Beast Families placed on this matter.
As for Rivev and Artis, they were the emissaries of the Azure Dragon Sovereign God and the Black Tortoise Sovereign God, and their strength was not inferior to the four of them.
"Since the Fallen God Angels want to go to war with our Four Divine Beast Families, then let's go to war."
Gaisreisen looked outside the great hall, his tone calming down, "We will use the Fallen God Angels to wash away the shame of our Four Divine Beast Families!"
Were they short of families to fight with? Who were the Four Divine Beast Families afraid of?
Even if they faced Fallen God Angels, so what?
"Go to war!"
Gus and the other two also nodded.
Every time the four of them decided to go to war, the Four Divine Beast Families would fight against Asura-level families or forces. Only through battle could the clan members become stronger.
The Four Divine Beast Families never feared battle.
Especially for the honor of the family!
Blood Peak Continent, Red Maple Prefecture.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Kakqi listened to the orders of Morit's subordinate Lota. Although he was somewhat shocked, he wasn't too surprised. His tone was somewhat serious, "For you and me to surround and kill Mel and the others is not a simple matter."
He had previously witnessed the "minor friction" between Lota and the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Gods. And a while ago, his Destruction God Avatar had already witnessed the battle between the Four Divine Beast Families and the Fallen God Angels in the Dark God Realm.
For this reason, he had even killed some members of the Four Divine Beast Families.
Now, the Overlord had ordered them to surround and kill the guy from the Burning Volcano Mountain Range. The minor friction between the Overlord and the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Gods seemed to be escalating.
Thinking of this possibility, Kakqi couldn't help but tremble in his heart and didn't dare to think further.
"Mel and Spark are a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible."
Morit was much calmer than Kakqi and didn't pursue the reasons behind it.
After all, he had followed the Overlord since not long after the beginning of heaven and earth, and had experienced countless battles. Moreover, there were no lack of battles caused by conflicts between Sovereign Gods.
Of course, he couldn't influence the battles between Sovereign Gods. He only needed to fight for the Overlord at the God level.
Although Spark and Mel were also Sovereign's Emissaries, and even peak experts, he was not afraid of them. Now, with Kakqi added, there was a complete chance to kill them both.
"My Light Divine Clone has already reached Blood Peak Continent, and it will arrive here in at most three to five years."
Morit continued. In order for his Light Divine Clone to reach Red Maple Prefecture as quickly as possible, he used a Sovereign God Token and took five teleportation arrays to reach Iron Knife Gorge on Blood Peak Continent.
However, Iron Knife Gorge was not particularly close to Red Maple Prefecture. Even if he didn't use his Metal Life and flew at full speed, it would still take three to five years. This was also because his Light Divine Clone was inherently skilled in speed.
"Where is your Destruction God Avatar now?"
Morit asked.
Kakqi went to the Dark God Realm to meet the Overlord, who would bestow upon him a Sovereign Artifact. Once he obtained the Sovereign Artifact, Kakqi's strength would greatly increase.
With their combined forces, they would have at least a seventy percent chance of killing Spark and Mel.
"We've already reached the Darkness Prefecture," Kakqi stated directly. "We were delayed slightly on the way."
He had specifically investigated the Four Divine Beast Family's slaughter of the Fallen God Angels on his journey, which caused the delay. Otherwise, he would have arrived at the Darkness Prefecture earlier.
The Prefect of the Darkness Prefecture was Morit.
This wasn't the most important thing. The most crucial point was that Phantom Mountain was located within the territory of the Darkness Prefecture. For Kakqi to formally meet Lota, he had to come to Phantom Mountain in the Darkness Prefecture.
"Mm, after receiving the Overlord's reward, return to the Red Maple Prefecture as soon as possible," Morit nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Let's go to the Burning Volcano Mountain Range first. During this period, we cannot let Spark and the others kill Xena. Otherwise, if they return to the Sky Altar Mountain Range, it will be much more troublesome to kill them."
Although Morit was confident, he did not dare to kill the emissaries of the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Gods in the Sky Altar Mountain Range.
"This Xue Na Family has managed to hold on for so long; their strength doesn't seem too bad," Kakqi also nodded.
Although Reynalds was in the Burning Volcano Mountain Range, they had previously believed the Xue Na Family wouldn't last much longer. But now, it seemed they had underestimated the Xue Na Family and Reynalds.
Of course, the Xue Na Family was likely also at their limit.
Without external forces, even with Reynalds' efforts, the annihilation of the Xue Na Family would be unavoidable.
Hell, Sea of Chaos.
Wu Kun City.
