"You cannot escape." Seeing that Alex was actually trying to avoid the fight, clearly waiting for the period of weakness that would follow their divine abilities, Adam naturally could not let him succeed.

"Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth!" Adam had actually transformed into his true Magic Beast form, which was revealed to be a Jade Cold Toad, a water-attribute Magic Beast. Adam unleashed the innate divine ability of the Jade Cold Toad directly—Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth.

It froze the very space itself.

Seeing Adam transform into the Jade Cold Toad, Hodan finally understood why the three of them were so determined to hold the Black Water Tribe. Beyond the wealth provided by the black water, the Jade Cold Toad could significantly increase Adam's cultivation speed by training within it. The extreme cold of the black water was perfectly suited for the Jade Cold Toad, accelerating the speed at which Adam fused his profound mysteries. With both wealth and strength to be gained, even Hodan would not have easily given it up.

A fiery red sword light, a sky-blue spear, and a pitch-black battle blade that seemed to corrode everything in its path. With the full-force strike of three Seven-Star Fiends, the ancient, primitive earth—which had existed for who knows how many years—saw everything in the path of the attacks, from houses to massive trees, turn to dust, while the ground itself caved in.

Three full-force strikes at the level of Seven-Star Fiends. Alex's space was frozen; he had nowhere to run.

Alex felt the aura of death, but he did not panic. Gritting his teeth, a dark gray halo appeared around his body—Sovereign's Power!

Alex actually possessed Sovereign's Power.

With the help of the Sovereign's Power, Alex broke free from the Jade Cold Toad's innate divine ability—Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, Alex unleashed his full strength! Alex was no longer just a Seven-Star Fiend; he was a genuine Asura-level powerhouse. Although his fusion of profound mysteries was only at the Seven-Star level, with the augmentation of the Sovereign's Power, the current Alex could trade blows with an Asura. Even though this Asura-level strength was temporary and dependent on the Sovereign's Power, no one doubted that Alex was currently a powerhouse of the Asura rank.

Adam and his companions never dreamed that Alex would possess Sovereign's Power. A Seven-Star Fiend actually having Sovereign's Power—that was a treasure that even ordinary Prefects or Asura-level powerhouses might not necessarily possess.

To think this Alex actually had Sovereign's Power; heavens, if they had known, they would have just retreated. Wealth was important, but it was only useful if you were alive to spend it.

Besides, there were other ways to improve one's strength; it didn't have to be at the Black Water Tribe. In that instant, regret flooded their hearts.

But Alex would not let them go. Adam and his companions had forced him to waste a drop of Sovereign's Power, a treasure many dreamed of. It was meant for saving his life, and now he had been forced to use a drop, which was equivalent to losing one of his own lives.

Alex was now furious, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Under the augmentation of the Sovereign's Power, he struck with all his might.

"Boom!"

"Gravity Shackles!" Alex shouted.

Instantly, the entire earth acted like a magnet, pulling Adam and his companions from the sky down to the ground. At the same time, the earth began to ripple and heave like waves. Within a thousand meters, boulders, trees, and several Magic Beasts were instantly ground into powder.

Alex's figure blurred, and he appeared instantly in front of Henry, cleaving him in two with a single blade strike. At the same time, a surge of Sovereign's Power turned Henry's corpse into fly ash, destroying his true body along with his divine clones. Only Henry's Space Ring remained, which Alex collected.

After doing all this, Alex turned to Wot and said, "Doesn't your Heaven-Dominating Ape clan love to use force to suppress others? Today, let me let you taste what it feels like to be crushed by Sovereign's Power."

After speaking, Alex flew forward, gathered the Sovereign's Power in his right hand, and swung his blade.

"One Blade Separates the World!"

Where the blade light passed, it carved out a spatial rift over a hundred meters long.

Wot also smelled the scent of death, but the suction force of the spatial rift made his reaction a beat too slow. He could only channel his innate divine ability with everything he had.

He gathered all his divine power into a single, simple strike.

One Blade Separates the World vs. Heaven-Shaking Might.

Adam naturally would not let Alex easily kill his brother, so he used his innate divine ability—Ice-Sealing Heaven and Earth—on Alex as well. However, Alex, empowered by the Sovereign's Power, was simply too fast. He dodged Adam's innate divine ability and simultaneously struck Adam with an energy attack from his left hand.

A terrifying, soul-shaking explosion erupted from the core of the dark gray mist. The space itself shattered into cracks, and the violent energy spread rapidly in all directions like water ripples.

Dust flew, but the battle was already over. Wot's eyes dimmed, and he collapsed with a crash. Following that, Wot met the same fate as Henry; he had been shaken to death by Alex's attack.

Adam, having taken Alex's energy attack, suffered minor injuries. Seeing Alex displaying such terrifying might, he said, "Lord Alex, I am willing to submit to you. I beg you to spare my life."

Alex, his entire body radiating the aura of Sovereign's Power, laughed, "Hahaha, you know fear now? What were you doing earlier? If you had left sooner, none of this would have happened. You wasted a drop of my Sovereign's Power; Adam, even in death, you've earned it. Go to hell." He slashed toward Adam. Adam raised his spear to block, but he was still sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah!" Under the pressure of death, Adam let out a terrifying howl as if he had gone mad!

Then, the Jade Cold Toad appeared behind Adam. Since he was going to die anyway, Adam simply threw caution to the wind, burning his potential to launch one final strike at Alex.

The sky-blue innate divine ability enveloped Alex. Even with the Sovereign's Power, Alex was frozen for an instant by Adam's desperate strike. At the same time, Adam's spear followed the divine ability, piercing toward Alex's body—even if he were to die, he wanted to leave a hole in Alex.

Alex couldn't break free for a moment! Fortunately, the effect of the Sovereign's Power was still active; an energy barrier constructed by a Seven-Star Fiend using Sovereign's Power was not something an injured Seven-Star Fiend could break.

Adam, acting like a madman, held his spear with both hands and stabbed frantically at Alex. Under the pressure of death, Adam no longer cared about anything else. Alex, using Sovereign's Power, was on a completely different level. Adam was a Magic Beast by nature, and that innate bloodlust finally erupted. He wouldn't let Alex have an easy time even in death, resorting to the most primitive hand-to-hand combat. This trapped Alex, who, despite his powerful Sovereign's Power, found it difficult to exert force, let alone attack.

"Get lost!" After a long while, Alex finally broke free and kicked Adam away. By this time, most of the Sovereign's Power on Alex's body had dissipated. Finally, a blade of dark gray energy instantly tore Adam apart, and the massive Jade Cold Toad turned into fragments that scattered across the ground.
