Hell, Blood Peak Continent;
Red Maple Prefecture, Burning Volcano Mountain Range.
Inside a temporarily constructed cave mansion, Spark and Mel sat before a stone table.
"Kesu fought today and forced the Xue Na Family to use another drop of Sovereign Power."
Mel took a sip of red wine, his tone casual, and chuckled, "In at most half a year, even Reynalds will be powerless to turn the tide."
After they came to the Burning Volcano Mountain Range and met Reynalds, they knew they couldn't destroy the Xue Na Family in a short time.
The intervention of a Sovereign's Emissary was enough to balance the battlefield. Especially since Spark did not actively try to kill Xena.
However, it wasn't without a solution.
The two of them could completely tie down Reynalds and Xena, while also surrounding the Burning Volcano Mountain Range.
Then, they could dispatch elders from the Four Divine Beast Families to slowly devour the Xue Na Family's clan members. Once the main members of the Xue Na Family were fallen, dealing with only Xena would be easier.
The elders of the Four Divine Beast Families, after using Sovereign Power, all possessed Asura level strength. This strength was more than enough to deal with some of the Xue Na Family's clan members.
Although the Xue Na Family also had some Sovereign Power, the gap compared to the Four Divine Beast Families was too vast.
No family could match the Four Divine Beast Families in terms of Sovereign Power consumption. This was the vast foundation of the Four Divine Beast Families.
Just by coming to the Burning Volcano Mountain Range this time, the total number of Sovereign Power drops carried by the elders of the Four Divine Beast Families exceeded a thousand. This was an absolutely terrifying number.
Spark nodded, then his tone became somewhat helpless, "This Reynalds really can't see the situation clearly. In this state, he's still stubbornly defending the Xue Na Family."
Although he had repaid Reynalds' favor, he still had some past acquaintance with Reynalds. Seeing Reynalds so opposed to the Four Divine Beast Families, he felt regret for their past friendship.
"This has nothing to do with you. You've done your best. This is Reynalds' own choice, and no one can change it," Mel said.
Spark could only nod and sigh, "I hope Reynalds won't blame me."
They couldn't imagine any surprises regarding the Xue Na Family's outcome. They had seen too many such events. Even families stronger than the Xue Na Family before had been destroyed by the Four Divine Beast Families.
Outside the Burning Volcano Mountain Range.
Kakqi and Morit stood in the air, their gazes fixed on the temporary residential area of the Four Divine Beast Family clan members. It was almost a complete encirclement, surrounding the main residential area of the Xue Na Family.
From afar, one could see many Four Divine Beast Family clan members coming and going.
"It seems Reynalds is quite capable," Morit said.
He and Kakqi were worried that Reynalds and Xena wouldn't hold on, so after receiving Lota's order, they left Red Maple City and came to the Burning Volcano Mountain Range first.
As for Beirut, with Quinsang there, there wouldn't be any danger.
However, looking at the situation now, Reynalds was stronger than they had imagined. Of course, perhaps Spark and Mel only intended to kill Xena and had no intention of engaging in a death battle with Reynalds.
Otherwise, the Burning Volcano Mountain Range might have already become ruins.
Morit's Fire Element Divine Clone was only mid-tier among Asuras. After all, his Fire Element Law had only just fused five profound mysteries, with no matching point for the sixth profound mystery.
In terms of realm, he was quite a bit behind those who had started fusing the sixth profound mystery.
However, his Fire attribute clone had its own ultimate moves. When encountering some Asura powerhouses who had just begun fusing the sixth profound mystery, he was not without a fight.
As for Kakqi, due to his soul mutation, the strength of his three-attribute clones was not significantly different.
With the advantage of fused divine power and powerful soul power, ordinary Asuras were not his match.
Therefore, their early arrival was a form of insurance.
Once their strongest divine clones arrived, everything would be simple.
"We'll wait here?" Kakqi asked.
His Destruction God Avatar had just obtained a Sovereign Artifact and would need some time to get here. As for his Life Divine Clone, it was still following Lota's projection clone on its "travels."
"Let's wait for now. Before Spark and Mel make a move, there's no need for us to show ourselves yet," Morit smiled. "As long as Xena doesn't die, that's all that matters. As for others, why bother?"
Showing themselves to protect Xena was only to ensure that Spark and Mel's group wouldn't leave the Burning Volcano Mountain Range so quickly. It wasn't to save the Xue Na Family.
After all, the Overlord's command was to kill those who were besieging the Burning Volcano Mountain Range, not to save the Xue Na Family.
Of course, the main reason was that Morit's strongest divine clone was still on its way, and Kakqi's Destruction God Avatar hadn't arrived either. Otherwise, there would be no need to wait; they could have directly appeared and killed Spark and Mel.
"Mm."
Kakqi also nodded.
He didn't care about the life or death of the Xue Na Family or the other members of the Four Divine Beast Families in their battles. In the Divine Plane, death in battle was a very normal occurrence.
Three months later.
Morit and Kakqi had been closely monitoring the situation within the Burning Volcano Mountain Range.
They had not attracted the attention of Spark and Mel, as there were many god-level observers from afar. Many people were even specifically recording shadow images.
The Four Divine Beast Family not only didn't stop these fights, but often instigated them, allowing the surrounding God-level spectators to record shadow images.
These shadow images, once spread, served as immense publicity for the Four Divine Beast Family's reputation.
"Boom~~~"
In the distant mountain range, powerful energy fluctuations erupted.
Two figures battled at the center of the energy, their potent techniques even tearing rifts in space.
But the battle ended quickly.
A dragon-transformed elder of the Four Divine Beast Family, after his opponent's Sovereign Power dissipated, consumed another drop of his own Sovereign Power and effortlessly slew his foe.
Kakqi frowned slightly as he watched the scene unfold. "The Xue Na Family probably won't last much longer."
This was the second Seven-star Devil expert from the Xue Na Family they had seen fall in the past three months. As for clan members below the Seven-star Devil level, such as High Gods, nearly a hundred had died.
Xue Na Family clan members were killed almost daily.
The Four Divine Beast Family also suffered casualties, but they were negligible.
This was because they had discovered that among the clan members the Four Divine Beast Family had sent this time, even some Five-star and Six-star Devil level clan members possessed Sovereign Power!
This discovery once again reshaped their understanding of the Four Divine Beast Family.
Previously, they only knew the Four Divine Beast Family had profound foundations, but to the extent of bestowing Sovereign Power upon Five-star and Six-star level clan members was truly hard to fathom.
One must understand that on the Divine Plane, the entire fortune of a Seven-star Devil might not be enough to exchange for a single drop of Sovereign Power!
But within the Four Divine Beast Family...
Kakqi was speechless.
Even Morit's mouth twitched slightly upon discovering this.
In reality, the two were unaware.
While the Four Divine Beast Family did bestow Sovereign Power upon their clan members, it was mostly given to elders.
And some Seven-star Devil level elders would gift Sovereign Power to their children or those close to them. This was not uncommon within the Four Divine Beast Family.
Even the patriarchs of each clan tacitly approved.
Furthermore, if Five-star or Six-star level clan members possessed good bloodlines and potential, the Four Divine Beast Family would proactively bestow Sovereign Power.
The Four Divine Beast Family's strength was built upon this foundation.
After all, even a Five-star level clan member with Sovereign Power possessed strength comparable to a Seven-star Devil.
And the Four Divine Beast Family did not lack Five-star level clan members or Sovereign Power.
Morit nodded. "At this rate, the Xue Na Family will likely be annihilated before our strongest avatars arrive."
The annihilation of the Xue Na Family was one thing, but if Xena fell, Spark and the others would surely have to return to the Revolving Heaven Mountain Range.
"We can't wait any longer. We have to make a move first."
Kakqi transmitted his voice directly.
"No rush. Let's try to contact Reynalds first. See if they can hold on for another year. If not, then we'll act."
Morit had no other options, but directly intervening posed a danger to their avatars.
Spark and Mel were both Sovereign's Emissaries and possessed Sovereign Artifacts. With just one Sovereign Artifact, even if his Fire-attribute avatar and Kakqi joined forces, they might not be able to kill either of them.
There was even a chance of being killed in return.
Otherwise, they could have had Xena and Reynalds team up against Mel, while the two of them dealt with Spark.
"I'll go."
Kakqi said directly.
Kakqi possessed a Three-attribute Soul Mutation. As long as he concealed his aura, it would be difficult for even a Peak Asura expert to detect him.
Therefore, the Four Divine Beast Family's encirclement held little meaning for him.
Moreover, even if discovered, his avatar had the ability to escape.
"Alright."
Morit clearly knew this and did not refuse.
Kakqi nodded, then directly altered his soul aura and flew towards the Burning Volcano Mountain Range.
Xue Na Family Garrison.
In the main hall.
Besides Xena, the Old Ancestor of the Xue Na Family, there was a middle-aged man in blue robes, his aura concealed to the extreme.
This alone was enough to demonstrate the man's profound attainments in soul cultivation.
"Xena, return to Thundercloud Prefecture with me," the man in blue robes said directly. "Even if I give you some Sovereign Power, it won't last long."
The man in blue robes was none other than Reynalds, the Prefect of Thundercloud Prefecture on the Blood Peak Continent, an emissary of the Blood Peak Sovereign God Pash, and the patriarch of the Reynalds Family.
He was well aware of the Xue Na Family's current predicament and understood the intentions of Spark and Mel. Once the Xue Na Family members were gradually surrounded and killed, they only needed to keep him occupied. Then, the elders of the Four Divine Beast Family could use Sovereign Power to kill Xena.
He also felt some dissatisfaction with Spark, but he knew Spark had no choice.
Xena, seated in the head position, closed her eyes without replying, her expression completely unmoving.
"Xena."
Reynalds' tone was somewhat anxious, "Are you just going to watch Deep and the others fall?"
Deep was Xena's son with him, and currently the Patriarch of the Xue Na Family. He was in charge of the Xue Na Family's affairs, but he was only a Seven-star Devil.
Previously, Deep's daughter, his granddaughter Reynalds, had already died at the hands of the Four Divine Beast Family. During the recent battles, many of his direct bloodline members in the Xue Na Family had also perished.
Hearing Reynalds' words, Xena opened her eyes, looked at Reynalds, and sneered, "Deep is the current Patriarch of the Xue Na Family. What if he falls for the family?"
"Xena, you..."
Reynalds faltered. Thinking of something, he sighed, his tone softening considerably. "Xena, I know you still hate me. But now is not the time to talk about this."
"Reynalds."
Xena's voice was somewhat cold as she interrupted Reynalds. "Countless years ago, we said that the Reynalds Family is the Reynalds Family, and the Xue Na Family is the Xue Na Family. I am grateful that you can come to help me, to help the Xue Na Family."
As she spoke, Xena looked at Reynalds with a complex gaze, her tone unusually gentle. "But asking me to return to Thundercloud Prefecture and hide in Thundercloud City? I cannot do that."
Xena's tone slowly returned to normal as she looked towards the distant Burning Volcano Mountain Range outside the great hall. "Countless years have passed. Even if I die this time, I will make them pay a price."
"Xena."
Reynalds still wanted to persuade her.
"Enough, stop talking!"
Xena directly spoke, staring at Reynalds. "You should leave. I believe the Four Divine Beast Family will not stop you if you wish to leave."
Xena's voice became somewhat distant. "The Four Divine Beast Family wants the Heart Bone, don't they? Let's see if they have the ability to take it from me!"
Reynalds did not immediately reply. He knew Xena's personality too well.
