The Arrogant Four Divine Beasts Clan

High in the air, after exchanging a few words, both sides fell into silence.

Huosi felt somewhat conflicted about how to handle this situation.

The current material plane was a vital node connecting two regions; without this plane as an intermediary, his spatial teleportation magic array would likely be unable to proceed any further.

That's right, proceed. Over these years, Huosi had been constantly researching teleportation gates and had roughly summarized some patterns.

One could not travel directly to every material plane from the Yulan plane; some were directly connected, while others required passing through intermediate points, much like how the Divine Planes connected countless material planes.

The current material plane was a key node between two regions, one that could not be bypassed under any circumstances.

However, there happened to be a Highgod in this place. Although he said he wouldn't interfere with his affairs, one should only believe half of such words.

Now, two choices lay before Huosi: one was to kill him directly. Although he was a Highgod and appeared to be a young master from a large clan—likely possessing some trump cards—Huosi's own strength hadn't remained stagnant over these years. Unless the man had Sovereign's Might in his possession, he was confident he could kill him.

However, the possibility that a young master who could flee to a material plane possessed Sovereign's Might was not small, so there was still risk in doing so.

The other choice was to negotiate with him. Since he was hiding in a material plane, his situation must be very dangerous, and he could take him to other planes.

In this way, there would be a basis for cooperation, but he really didn't feel at ease using a stranger who had suddenly appeared.

Huosi was silent for a moment.

However, before Huosi could make up his mind, the person opposite him suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"Hmm?"

Just as Huosi was thinking about how to handle the situation, Sean's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he looked sharply toward the direction of the teleportation array.

It was clear that the array belonging to the Underworld had lit up with light, and ten different figures walked out.

In the next second, a Highgod's divine sense swept toward this direction, and the other party immediately discovered Sean's figure.

"Sean Barbary, did you think you could escape?"

A mocking voice spread across the heavens and earth without any attempt at concealment.

"Damn it, the Four Divine Beasts Clan! They actually chased me here; they are truly like ghosts that won't go away!"

Sean Barbary cursed angrily and turned to flee into the distance, not stopping for even a second.

He truly hadn't expected that the Four Divine Beasts Clan would actually chase him here, and as he fled, he began to think.

Today, was there still a possibility of him leaving alive? If not, what should he do?

"Even if I die, I will never let you have an easy time. Killing one is not a loss, killing two is a profit!"

Sean Barbary thought frantically, searching for an opportunity.

"Do you think you can escape? You two, watch this place. The rest of you, follow me and don't let him run!"

Nack Bowen did not know what Sean was thinking and just said with a cold laugh.

He then took the remaining seven people, in groups of two, and surrounded Sean from different directions.

"This, my lord, we..."

Pusiluo swallowed hard and asked tentatively.

The scene that had suddenly unfolded left him somewhat bewildered.

"Descend to the ground and ignore them."

Huosi immediately sent a voice transmission, and then the three of them quickly landed, having no intention of interfering in this matter.

The voices from just a moment ago had not been intentionally concealed; Huosi and his companions—or rather, anyone on the continent with some strength—had heard them clearly.

As for the Four Divine Beasts Clan, while Adkins and Pusiluo were unaware, Huosi understood very well; he knew clearly what the Four Divine Beasts Clan represented.

This group of people put on the appearance of victims after the four divine beasts died, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

But in reality, being hated by so many people in the slaughter-filled Divine Planes, to the point where the Eight Great Clans would risk their own destruction to fight them to the end—how could the Four Divine Beasts Clan possibly be innocent?

In the Divine Planes, where slaughter was constant and people died every day, having enemies was normal, but they were the only clan whose enemies were too numerous to count.

The Four Divine Beasts Clan were the true villains of the current Divine Planes, stopping at nothing.

Their clan had four Sovereigns backing them, and they were extremely united and protective of their own. Toward anyone who offended them—no, it couldn't even be called an offense; even the slightest conflict would lead to a fight to the death.

They happened to be immensely powerful, with multiple Asuras in the clan, a large number of Seven-Star Fiend elders supporting them, and endless Sovereign's Might. One could imagine how overbearing and arrogant they would be.

In contrast, Linley, born in the Yulan plane, was an outlier who followed the principle of "if people don't offend me, I won't offend them."

Of course, the Yulan lineage, starting from Baruch, was something Beirut had created and had no real connection to the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

The only thing they had in common was their bloodline, which allowed for the awakening of innate divine abilities; this was also the reason Beirut sent Linley to the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

The people of the Baruch lineage had absolutely no so-called glory of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

"Damn it! If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay a price!"

Blocked by two people, Sean roared quite simply, and the fluctuations of Sovereign's Might shook the surrounding space.

"As expected, he has Sovereign's Might. But that makes sense; anyone who can be hunted by the Four Divine Beasts Clan certainly isn't an ordinary person. I remember that person just called him... Sean Barbary? The Barbary Clan of the Water-style Divine Plane?"

Feeling the chaotic divine power fluctuations in the space, Huosi's brain began to work rapidly.

After the Four Divine Beasts died, the Four Divine Beasts Clan was hunted by countless people. Not only that, but eight major clans even invaded Hell, solely to fight the Four Divine Beasts Clan to the death.

Among them, the Barbary Clan came from the Water Divine Plane, and the Reinass Clan came from Hell.

This man is named Sean Barbary, and it seems he is one of the fuses for the hatred between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Barbary Clan.

Judging by the current actions of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, it is truly no surprise that the Barbary Clan is locked in a life-or-death struggle with them.

"You dare!"

With a thunderous roar, Nack Bowen bellowed as he channeled the power of an Overgod to block the frenzied Sean.

Damn Barbary Clan, to think they actually dared to give him Overgod power. Once I return, I must have the elders settle this account with them!

Nack Bowen shouted frantically in his heart while fighting, wishing he could go settle the score with the Barbary Clan immediately.

Nack Bowen had originally assumed the opponent was just an ordinary mid-level god and that he could easily handle him.

Who would have thought the opponent was hiding a drop of Overgod power, forcing him to use his own Overgod power as well; he felt a burning hatred for the Barbary Clan in his heart.

In reality, the Barbary Clan had mentioned this matter to Isaac Reinass when he visited, stating that their young master had been granted a drop of Overgod power by their patriarch and they hadn't had time to retrieve it.

Of course, the Barbary Clan didn't actually want to retrieve it; they only told the other party to avoid them coming back to question them about the Overgod power later.

It was just that Elder Isaac hadn't paid any attention to it at all. In his view, Sean was merely a mid-level god; even with Overgod power, he could still be slapped to death with one hand.

Later, when passing on the information, he felt Sean was certain to die, so he didn't tell the people from other planes.

Therefore, Nack Bowen had no choice but to use his own Overgod power to cope with Sean's sudden outburst.

Of course, even if Nack Bowen knew the truth of the matter, he would only blame the Barbary Clan—who told them not to give a proper warning, causing him to lose a drop of Overgod power?

Even if the Four Divine Beasts Clan had endless Overgod power, not every member could use it.

The four patriarchs held a large amount of Overgod power, and the leaders of other planes held a portion.

The Four Divine Beasts Overgods would periodically replenish a portion for the clan.

As a younger member with decent talent, Nack Bowen had only been granted one drop by the clan, and the nine people he brought with him had none at all.

Having consumed his Overgod power in the material plane this time, whether he could get it replenished was a big question mark.

"Hahaha! Die!"

Sean let out a cold snort, his entire body radiating a blue light, as if he wanted to perish together with his enemy.

"You want to risk your life with me? You aren't worthy!"

Nack Bowen sneered, his figure retreating rapidly to widen the distance between them.

He didn't want to die together with the opponent; as long as he dragged it out until the opponent's Overgod power was exhausted, the siege would be enough to kill him.

As for escaping, it was already impossible for the opponent to get away.

However, the next moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted:

"Stop right there!"

Sean ignored Nack entirely, instead bypassing him and charging directly toward the others, decapitating one of them in the blink of an eye.

"Bastard!"

Nack's eyes turned red instantly. This guy's true goal was to feign a suicidal attack to force him to retreat.

He actually dared to kill his clansmen right in front of him.

"You tell me to stop, so I stop? What do you think you are?"

Sean laughed heartily, not caring at all. He was destined to die today anyway; killing one was one, and dragging another one down to the grave with him was worth it.

"Stop!"

A massive Azure Dragon figure emerged, and Sean's figure paused slightly; although it was only for an instant, it was enough.

"Go to hell!"

Nack's fist smashed heavily into Sean's head, and a water-element godhood fell out.

"Nack, you were too careless."

Metamor Reding couldn't help but scold him.

It was he who had just used his innate divine ability, Dragon Roar, to help Nack control Sean, which allowed them to successfully kill him.

"Shut up, Metamor!"

Nack replied with a gloomy expression.

He was in a very bad mood. He had led a team out to hunt down the enemy, but one person had died, and he would have to bear the responsibility.

If the enemy had been powerful, it would be one thing, but the enemy was merely a mid-level god.

If there had been no casualties, relying on the fact that the enemy used Overgod power, his own Overgod power might have even been replenished.

But now, let alone getting his Overgod power replenished, it would be good enough if he wasn't reprimanded by the elders.

"Hmph!"

Nack's mood was manic, and he casually unleashed several attacks toward the crowd below.

"Hm? What is this guy doing?"

Huosi and his two companions, who were not far from the crowd, flew up instantly, and a thousand-meter-wide massive shield suddenly appeared, blocking the incoming attack.

"Oh? Someone actually blocked it?"

Nack was somewhat surprised, then looked at Huosi and his two companions with a playful expression.
