Fear No One

"Leiding, you're courting death!"

Hurrei glared angrily at Leiding's Sovereign Projection.

Wasn't Leiding clearly implying that Hurrei was nothing more than a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and that his strength was inferior to the four of them?

"Hurrei, stop putting on airs here. If you've got the guts, send your Lightning Sovereign Avatar over and let us see whether you're qualified to bark wildly in the Tianji Mountain Range."

Leiding laughed heartily, still showing the Lightning Sovereign no respect whatsoever. He had the air of someone who feared neither life nor death and would fight anyone who refused to yield.

Taking a deep breath, Hurrei tried his best to calm himself.

His gaze fixed on the four who refused to give an inch before him, Hurrei's eyes flickered slightly.

Hurrei could tell by now that these four were not the least bit afraid of him, the Lightning Sovereign.

For Hurrei to fight the Four Divine Beasts one-on-one? It was not that he did not dare; he simply had no confidence in winning.

The Four Divine Beasts' ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with Sovereign-level experts was no empty boast.

If the Four Divine Beasts had truly been soft targets with no substance, they would have long since been eliminated by the other Overgods despite bearing a title comparable to the Law Overlords.

The Four Divine Beasts' Combined Innate Divine Ability allowed the four of them, with the strength of Lower Gods, to rival Law Overlords. Quite a few Overgods had set their sights on it.

According to rumors among the Overgods, Lord of Destiny Of had personally tested the Four Divine Beasts' Combined Innate Divine Ability and given it extremely high praise.

Of claimed that unless one was a Paragon-level Sovereign, it would be very difficult to withstand the Four Divine Beasts' Combined Innate Divine Ability without some special means.

Although Hurrei possessed one more portion of Willpower than the other Law Overlords, he was still far inferior to a Paragon-level Sovereign.

Otherwise, Hurrei would have long since sent his Sovereign Avatar to crush the Four Divine Beasts to death. How could he have allowed them to challenge him here?

I still need to find a way to make my lightning divine clone reach Paragon as soon as possible. Once I become a Paragon, I will be the undisputed number one among the Law Overlords. Even compared with the Four Rule Overlords, I will not be much weaker.

Hurrei was no fool. He would not do anything he was not confident about.

He did not respond to the Four Divine Beasts. For a moment, the scene fell silent.

"Leiding, I'll remember what happened today. Given the chance, I'd truly like to see whether you four are really as formidable as the rumors say."

The Lightning Sovereign's voice rang out across the heavens again, but anyone with eyes could see that this Lightning Sovereign had chosen to back down.

"Hmph. You'd better have the courage. We'll be ready anytime. Hurrei, check the almanac before you go out in the future. Don't get yourself killed by someone without realizing it."

Leiding snorted and instead threw a threat back at Hurrei.

Hurrei knew that remaining here would bring him no advantage.

He merely gave Leiding and the others a deep look, then glanced at Wyatt, who had remained silent nearby. His Sovereign Projection then vanished from the skies above the Tianji Mountain Range with a boom.

"What Lightning Sovereign? Before our Four Ancestors, he only dared to make threats with his mouth."

"Exactly. That Lightning Sovereign is just someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. If I had been born a little earlier, it might not even have been his turn to become the Lightning Sovereign."

Many members of the Four Divine Beasts Family who had witnessed the scene felt indignant at Hurrei's unreasonable, bullying behavior, while also feeling proud of their own ancestors.

Some clan members secretly resolved that when they had the chance, they would definitely visit the Lightning God Plane and properly teach the members of that Sovereign's clan a lesson.

He left. A Paragon's strength truly was on an entirely different level from an Overgod's.

Watching Hurrei's projected clone dissipate, Wyatt sighed inwardly.

Although Paragons were invincible among gods, the portion of Willpower possessed by a Paragon was utterly incomparable to the vast amount of Willpower contained within an Overgod's Sovereign Spark.

An Overgod traveling at full speed could cross a Supreme Plane in less than a day.

Fortunately, Wyatt had his four ancestors as backing. Otherwise, today's matter would truly have been difficult to resolve.

When facing such a shameless Overgod, even a Paragon had no real solution.

"Wyatt, you've truly brought an enormous surprise to our Four Divine Beasts Family!"

A hearty laugh rang out beside Wyatt.

Leiding and the other three's Sovereign Giant Faces had transformed into four figures.

Three men and one woman—the Four Divine Beasts in their human forms.

Azure Dragon—Leiding

Vermilion Bird—Nimo

White Tiger—Lius

Black Tortoise—Bowen

These were the Four Divine Beasts Family's four Overgods!

Unlike the murderous expressions they had worn while confronting Hurrei moments earlier, the Four Divine Beasts now all bore faint, gratified smiles.

"You've reached Paragon. That has given us an enormous helping hand."

At Leiding's side, Nimo, who had transformed into a beautiful woman with long red hair, spoke with a smile as well. Her words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

"I must thank you four ancestors for helping me this time. Without you, I would have been in serious trouble today."

With a slight smile on his face, Wyatt spoke modestly.

What he said was indeed true. Without Leiding and the others stepping forward today, Hurrei would only have pushed his luck even further. Wyatt had been sitting peacefully at home when trouble fell from the sky, dragged into this by a few dead people.

Having an Overgod as backing made Wyatt realize just how satisfying it truly was.

"Father!"

"Mother!"

At that moment, a streak of blue light and a streak of red light cut through the skies above the Tianji Mountain Range. Two figures arrived before the Four Divine Beasts and spoke excitedly.

These two were none other than Natalia, the Patriarch of the Vermilion Bird Clan, and Gaysleison, the Patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan.

After greeting the Four Divine Beasts, the two also nodded slightly at Wyatt.

Now that Wyatt had become a Paragon, his status and standing were completely different from before. Moreover, news of Wyatt becoming a Paragon had already become known to many experts of the Four Divine Beasts Family.

Under the deliberate spread of the Four Divine Beasts Family's members, news of Wyatt's Paragon status would likely spread at an extremely terrifying speed to every corner of Hell. Even the other Supreme Planes and God Planes would soon learn of it.

"Gaysleison, notify all elders of the Four Divine Beasts Family within Hell Youlan Prefecture who are Seven-Star Devils or above. The four of us will personally convene a meeting in the Tianji Mountain Range."

Leiding looked at Gaysleison and spoke.

"Personally convene a meeting?"

Gaysleison and Natalia exchanged glances, both looking rather surprised.

The four Overgods—Leiding, Nimo, and the others—had not personally convened a family meeting for a very long time.

Now that they were calling a meeting, the two guessed that it was very likely related to Wyatt.

Gaysleison did not ask further. He would naturally learn the reason when the time came. After merely nodding slightly to his father, he departed directly.
