Innate Divine Abilities of the Four Divine Beasts, Hope's Strength

Outside the Water Elemental Plane, within the spatial turbulence, massive amounts of seven-colored halos flowed incessantly, forming a constantly swirling vortex of spatial turbulence.

Spatial turbulence is a forbidden zone for gods; even Highgods would perish after spending time within it. The only beings capable of surviving permanently in the spatial turbulence are Paragons, gods possessing Sovereign artifacts for material defense, and a few rare divine beasts whose physical bodies rival Sovereign artifacts.

However, even if a Highgod survives, they are like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean, drifting helplessly with the turbulence, perhaps never to escape. The only ones capable of maneuvering within the spatial turbulence are Sovereigns, who have been endowed with the power of heaven and earth.

"BOOM~~"

Accompanied by a massive collision, a giant blue sphere of light was sent flying out of the Water Elemental Plane by the impact of a whirlwind, subsequently transforming into four figures.

"As expected of the Sovereign of Water, your attack power is truly not bad! A casual strike carries such might."

A strange glint flashed through Reding's eyes before returning to calm.

Although the previous attack was clearly not Hope's strongest, Reding was not worried; the four of them had not yet utilized their strongest Four Elements Earth-Style Black Tortoise Defense.

"The four of you are somewhat beyond my expectations, but these tricks are not enough to impress me!"

Hope's figure coalesced not far away, his body covered in pale blue ice crystals, radiating a dazzling light.

"Hope, don't think you've won just because of this!"

Reding said as he retreated, while Lius stepped directly to the forefront of the four, staring at Hope with a fierce expression.

"ROAR!!!"

A furious roar erupted from Lius's throat. Simultaneously, his body was covered in a layer of silver-white fur, each strand like a steel needle, forming an impenetrable physical defense.

Reding and the other two retreated behind Lius, Sovereign power surging within their bodies. A golden sphere of light emerged once more, and the patterns of a magic array began to manifest. This time, Lius was the center of the formation, and a pale cyan light instantly enveloped the entire sphere.

At the same time, an irresistible cyan storm suddenly emerged, rapidly expanding with the surge of Sovereign power. In the blink of an eye, it reached a million meters in size, accompanied by countless wind blades, sweeping forward like a tornado.

"Oh? Interesting!"

Hope narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the patterns on the magic array, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

In Hope's memory, in the Magic Universe, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire are special. By fusing the Sovereign power of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, one can transform it into Hongmeng Spiritual Energy and become a true Controller of Hongmeng.

Looking at the entire Magic Universe, the uniqueness of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire does not stop there. The Godhead Weapon refined by Beirut using the Godheads of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire is seamless, far surpassing other Godhead Weapons.

The four super divine beasts of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire—the Four Divine Beasts—can fuse their innate divine abilities through their bloodlines simultaneously. Utrade's ultimate technique, Space-Time Disorder, was completed by studying the bloodlines of the Four Divine Beasts, and Oufu's Transcending Reincarnation was further perfected by utilizing the principles of Space-Time Disorder.

It can be said that in the Magic Universe, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire are, in a sense, the truth. Over these years, Hope has naturally studied them for a long time, and he has also researched magic arrays deeply. In the end, he only completed the ultimate technique for the Water Laws, but achieved no results regarding Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.

Hope, after all, only has one avatar; he tried many methods but could not fuse Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. However, today, seeing the magic array researched by the Four Divine Beasts, he instantly felt a renewed interest.

Although his thoughts wandered for a moment, Hope's movements were not slow. He raised his right hand high, tracing a semicircular arc, and a layer of milky-white ice mist erupted instantly, transforming into an icy Azure Dragon over a million meters long.

"Break!"

Hope swung the long sword in his hand, and the Azure Dragon spat out an ice-blue breath, then spiraled toward the cyan tornado in front.

The moment the two collided, the Azure Dragon's massive form suddenly dispersed, and a sea of mist that shrouded the entire world instantly took shape. The million-meter-high hurricane was dissolved within the sea of mist, like a drop of ink merging into the ocean, quickly vanishing into nothingness.

The ice mist that devoured the hurricane shrank significantly, but it did not stop; instead, it transformed into an Azure Dragon once again, charging straight toward Reding and the others.

"Damn it!"

Lius's expression changed instantly. Controlling the magic array, the four retreated rapidly, their figures appearing somewhat disheveled for a moment.

Although he knew his attack could not surpass Hope's, he had not expected the gap to be this large, and for a moment, he lost his composure.

"Ultimate Defense!"

Reding quickly stepped forward, grabbing Lius, and roared.

Following Reding's roar, the Four Divine Beasts quickly changed positions. The Black Tortoise, Bowen, stepped forward, his body suddenly enlarging. Instantly, an earthy-yellow light shield emerged, and powerful Sovereign power condensed into a giant light sphere over a thousand meters thick, significantly larger than the previous one.

Inside the light sphere, with Reding and the others behind Bowen, an elongated magic array suddenly appeared. Three streams of Sovereign power—ice-blue, pale cyan, and crimson—transformed into clusters of special energy and rapidly surged into Bowen's turtle shell.

As the magic array emitted four-colored light, three lightning-like halos flowed out from the earthy-yellow Sovereign power of Earth. On the earthy-yellow defensive sphere, crimson, ice-blue, and pale cyan patterns flashed.

"Sss-sss~~~"

The ice-blue Azure Dragon breath impacted the earthy-yellow light sphere. The milky-white mist rapidly engulfed the entire sphere; however, the light sphere at this moment was as steady as Mount Tai, vibrating only slightly even after the white mist dissipated.

"Big Brother, this Hope..."

Lius spoke with an ugly expression, stopping mid-sentence.

"It doesn't matter. Wasn't this expected?"

Reding shook his head slightly, not worried about the situation at hand. Although their magic array was powerful, it was not enough to truly contend with a Sovereign. Using this move was originally just to exhaust Hope.

The true killing blow had always been their joint innate divine ability. Through countless years of accumulation, the Four Divine Beasts would extract a few drops of essence blood from their bodies from time to time and then wait for it to recover. The essence blood accumulated over countless years could help them use their innate divine ability one extra time.

Their innate divine ability could kill an ordinary Sovereign, but Hope possessed an extra portion of Willpower. If they used the innate divine ability directly, it would likely take two uses to kill Hope.

Therefore, after discussing it, the four decided to first engage in a war of attrition using the joint magic array ultimate technique. Originally, according to Reding's plan, the best scenario was to use the magic array for defense while using soul attacks to exhaust Hope for a while, and then kill him directly with one innate divine ability, thus saving the second use of the innate divine ability.

Although they could currently use their innate divine ability twice in a row, they would be weak for a while afterward, which might attract the covetous eyes of other Sovereigns. Therefore, the best method was to keep one as a trump card.

However, Hope's attack power exceeded their expectations, so they had only one option: use the innate divine ability twice in a row to forcibly kill Hope.

"After killing Hope, we must immediately take the Sovereign Spark to Gaislesen. Before the other Sovereigns arrive, especially before Palhouse discovers it, we must let Gaislesen become the new Sovereign of Water!"

Many thoughts flashed rapidly through Reding's mind, and then he suddenly transformed into his true form. A massive Azure Dragon coiled and spiraled, revealing a cyan silhouette.

"Now!"

Following Reding's angry shout, Lius, Bowen, and Nimo also instantly transformed into their true forms, and the bloodlines within the four of them began to resonate.

The Azure Dragon let out a resonant sound from its mouth as its draconic body began to coil; the White Tiger opened its blood-red maw and began to howl; the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and soared high, its wings enveloped in a layer of golden flames; the Black Tortoise's body grew larger, and the patterns on its tortoise shell emitted an earthy-yellow light, as if locking down the surrounding space.

Innate Divine Ability—Dragon Roar!

Innate Divine Ability—Tiger Howl!

Innate Divine Ability—Bathed in Fire!

Innate Divine Ability—Stasis!

At this moment, the Four Divine Beasts unleashed their innate divine abilities simultaneously, merging them into one under a strange energy of heaven and earth, and a transparent phantom streaked toward Hope.

"It's here, is it? The combined innate divine ability!"

Hope narrowed his eyes, halted his forward momentum, and felt the innate divine abilities acting upon him, revealing a look of confidence.
