Decisive Battle in the Tianji Mountain Range, Dannington and Ninisha

Bloodridge Continent, Tianji Mountain Range.

Looking down from high above, one could notice a dense, pitch-black army completely surrounding the entire Tianji Mountain Range.

At the very front of the army, eight figures stood tall, each of their faces wearing an expression of excitement.

"Finally, the day has come!"

Shengnaer, with his red hair, revealed a look of determination as his long hair fluttered in the wind.

"Everyone, I presume you are all mentally prepared?"

Bolin, sporting a head of white hair with somewhat withered palms, was the first to scan the others and ask in a deep voice.

"Of course we are prepared. What is it but falling in battle? If we were afraid of death, we wouldn't have come here!"

Barbary clenched his fists tightly, his emerald armor emitting waves of rumbling sounds, appearing incredibly agitated.

The eight patriarchs present all knew that after this battle, it was likely—no, certain—that some of them would fall. After all, even without the protection of a Sovereign or the support of a Sovereign's Envoy, the Four Divine Beasts Clan still possessed six experts at the Asura level.

Even with an absolute numerical advantage, for the eight of them to kill their opponents would require paying a price. However, today, not one of the eight retreated; the blood feud with the Four Divine Beasts Clan had caused them to place their own lives second.

"Good, then everyone, let us move out. Today, the Four Divine Beasts Clan shall be struck from the records!"

As Bolin raised his right hand and shouted, it instantly ignited the entire scene.

"Four Divine Beasts Clan! Struck from the records!"

In the army behind them, countless people were shouting. The massive sound enveloped the entire world; whether they were Seven-Star Fiend elders or ordinary clansmen, everyone had an excited expression, their eyes blood-red.

At the same time, inside the Tianji Mountain Range, within the Azure Dragon Hall, six figures sat together before a round table, listening to the overwhelming sound from the outside.

"Big Brother, it seems today is the final battle. They have arrived!"

White Tiger patriarch Gus looked up at Gaislesen, his arms transforming into silver-white tiger claws, his eyes filled with battle intent.

"That's right, Big Brother. Even if we die, we must make them pay the price!"

Black Tortoise patriarch Morei raised his head, his usually calm face carrying a hint of determination.

"Big Brother, I have already arranged for the talented younger disciples to be sent to the Material Plane. We no longer have any worries."

Gaia slowly removed the mask from her face, her dark hair cascading down, and spoke softly to Gaislesen.

"Good, my brothers and sisters, today we live and die together. The glory of the Four Divine Beasts Clan shall never be extinguished!"

Gaislesen stood up abruptly, wiped the tears from his eyes, and spoke with a cold, stern expression.

"Rumble~~"

The pitch-black army moved in one go, arriving before the Tianji Mountain Range.

Inside the Tianji Mountain Range, the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan rose into the air, each of them wearing fierce masks as they looked at the people outside. A large number of Seven-Star Fiend elders dressed in red robes gathered together.

"Gaislesen, get out here!"

Barbary was the first to step forward, a deafening roar erupting from his mouth.

"Hmph! Barbary, a guy who was like a stray dog in the Water Elemental Plane back then, you dare to come here today!"

Following a cold snort, six figures descended from the horizon, with Gaislesen at the lead.

"Hahaha, Gaislesen, do you think it's the same as before? Today is the day your Four Divine Beasts Clan perishes!"

Barbary moved his right hand, and a Sovereign artifact whip exuding a terrifying aura directly appeared.

"Then let's try it!"

Gaislesen's hands changed abruptly, covered in cyan dragon scales, and a pair of dragon claws swung out, tearing through the sky.

"Bang!" "Swoosh!"

The sound of breaking air echoed through the heavens, yet the next second, the expressions of everyone present froze.

At some unknown moment, a figure with dark-blue hair had appeared between Gaislesen and Barbary. One hand gripped Barbary's Sovereign artifact whip, while the other caught Gaislesen's dragon claw.

Although the other party made no extra movements, Gaislesen and Barbary simultaneously felt a sense of oppression, as if an absolute power of control made them unable to move.

"Mr. Dannington?"

The confident smile that had been on Barbary's face instantly froze, and for a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.

"That is enough!"

Dannington let out a cold snort, then exerted force with both hands simultaneously. Barbary and Gaislesen could not control their bodies and instantly retreated a distance.

"Dannington? Is he... the Dannington who is the number one person beneath the Sovereigns in the Chaos Sea?"

After Gaislesen regained his composure, he muttered in disbelief.

"Big Brother, this..."

The others quickly arrived at Gaislesen's side. Gus spoke immediately, his peripheral vision sweeping over Dannington's figure, feeling somewhat stunned for a moment.

"Let's see how the situation develops first!"

Gaislesen shook his head slightly. He was equally puzzled by this unexpected situation, but it seemed that Dannington was on their side. Although he did not know the reason, it was a good thing regardless.

The members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan felt complex emotions, while the people of the eight great clans all had their expressions change drastically. After a moment of silence, Barbary and the others stepped forward simultaneously and bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Mr. Dannington!"

Dannington gave a slight nod, acknowledging them, before speaking in an indifferent tone:

"Although you harbor deep hatred for the Four Divine Beasts Clan, they are, after all, descendants of a Sovereign. To a certain extent, they represent the face of the Sovereign. Having them wiped out like this would not look good for the Sovereign."

As Dannington's words fell, the expressions of the eight clan patriarchs changed instantly, and they all looked up abruptly.

"This... Mr. Dannington, you shouldn't have any friendship with the Four Divine Beasts Clan, so you shouldn't be interfering in this matter, right?"

Shengnaer was the first to speak, his tone becoming slightly impolite.

"Mr. Dannington, although the Four Divine Beasts Clan are descendants of a Sovereign, the Sovereign himself is no longer here. By what right do they represent the Sovereign? The Sovereign's Envoys have all left; they are merely deities."

Reinasi spoke up. He knew the most about the matter of the Four Divine Beasts Clan's Sovereign's Envoys, after all, he resided in Hell.

"Mr. Dannington..."

"Enough!"

Dannington's expression turned cold instantly, and a hint of killing intent crept into his tone.

Barbary and the others opened their mouths, but they lowered their heads, not daring to continue. As veteran Prefecture Lords, they knew all too well what a Paragon Highgod represented.

"Within ten trillion years, no one is permitted to enter the Tianji Mountain Range. Those who violate this will be my enemies!"

Dannington's voice resounded across the heavens and earth, heard clearly by both the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the eight clans.

The faces of the Four Divine Beasts Clan members filled with excitement, while the members of the eight clans looked ashen.

Barbary, Bolin, and the others exchanged glances, feeling unwilling, yet they dared not say anything more. After all, Dannington had not promised permanent protection to the Four Divine Beasts Clan, leaving some room for maneuver. Ten trillion years was a duration they could afford to wait.

Ten trillion years? I must find a way to counterattack within this time!

Gaislesen quickly calmed down, his mind beginning to calculate how to cultivate the younger generation of his clan to launch a counterattack against the eight clans after ten trillion years.

However, the next moment, before anyone could react, a crisp female voice drifted over from the distance.

"Dannington, aren't you overstepping your bounds?"

As the voice faded, a streak of purple lightning descended from the high sky, transforming into a purple-haired woman with an indifferent expression, standing in mid-air to confront Dannington.

The Lightning-element Paragon Highgod—Ninisha!
