The Eight Great Clans' Siege
"Not bad Innate Divine Ability, but I was prepared!"
Salomon's lips curled into a smile, his Divine Power surged, and several specially made golden beads instantly exploded, sending a powerful surge of life energy into his spiritual sea.
The Soul Gold Bead, crafted by the Asura from the Life Divine Plane, incorporates special techniques that add life energy to ordinary gold beads, providing excellent protection against soul attacks.
Die!
After Salomon deflected Tiger Roar's attack, he slowly opened his eyes, spread out his right palm, and a violent gray aura quickly condensed around his palm.
"Whoosh!"
Salomon moved slightly and vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye, reappearing above Eugene's head.
"Light of Destruction!"
As Salomon uttered a sound, a gigantic hand emanating a hazy gray mist descended from the sky. Eugene had no time to react and could only raise the White Tiger's claw, activating Wind Divine Power to form a pale blue halo shield.
"Bang!"
The shield shattered the instant the two energies came into contact, and the Light of Destruction struck Eugene's head, tearing apart the flesh belonging to the White Tiger bloodline, splitting the lines on his forehead in two.
"Damn it! If the Sovereign’s Might hadn't been exhausted, how could you have suppressed me!"
Eugene Lierus coughed up blood, his tiger claws were broken, revealing several sinister bones, and his scarlet eyes were filled with sorrow.
"Everyone, run!"
Eugene roared, and a torrent of blood erupted from his body as he charged toward Salomon with reckless abandon.
"Fool, why do you think I'm here to ambush and kill you!"
Salomon smirked, unsurprised by Eugene's reaction, but made no attempt to stop the others from escaping.
"What do you mean, you idiot?"
A sense of foreboding washed over Eugene, and he quickened his movements, sending the White Tiger's claws flying like phantoms as it attacked Salomon.
"Your Four Divine Beasts Clan have offended more than just me; this is Ashcroft Clan territory."
Salomon's lips curled into a faint smile as he stared at Eugene as if he were looking at a clown.
"What?"
Eugene's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned to look towards the outside of the canyon, but it was too late.
"Boom!"
As a tremendous explosion resounded, a gigantic phantom of a Nether Serpent over ten thousand meters long suddenly appeared, and an aura radiating crimson energy spread through the void.
The members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, who had just escaped, didn't even have time to utter a scream before being reduced to dust by the terrifying blood-red attack.
"Oh? You seem to be Elder Eugene of the White Tiger Clan? Looks like I'm in luck; I'll be able to slay another elder from one of the Four Divine Beasts Clan today!"
After a voice that was both ancient and majestic, more than a dozen Highgod broke through the air and surrounded Eugene in a ring.
The speaker was a bald old man shrouded in a gray robe. His hair was dry and yellow, as if devoid of any life. His face was full of wrinkles, and two small green snakes hung from his ears.
Upon seeing the old man, Eugene's face turned extremely ugly, his gray-white tiger claws clenched tightly, and a blood-red light flashed in his eyes.
Bulo Ashcroft is a top expert of the Ashcroft Clan family of the Nether Serpent Clan in the Netherworld. He possesses the strength of a peak Seven-Star Demon, not much weaker than Elder Bru of the Azure Dragon Clan.
Eugene was no stranger to Bulo's existence, so he knew that he was probably doomed today. Bulo's strength was such that there weren't many elders in the Four Divine Beasts Clan who could defeat him.
Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!
Eugene let out a Tiger Roar, and a blue ball of light condensed in his tiger claw, rushing towards a young man next to Bulo at top speed.
Eugene knew he couldn't hurt Bulo, so his target from the beginning was others; even if he died, he wanted to take a few down with him.
"Innocent!"
A hoarse voice came from the side. Bulo waved his withered hand, and a third emerald green eye suddenly lit up between his eyebrows. Centered on Bulo's right hand, a snake tail half a meter thick suddenly appeared and shot out at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Whoosh!"
Eugene felt a sudden darkness engulf him, and when he came to his senses, he was already tightly bound.
"Damn it! Break it!"
White energy continuously erupted from Eugene's body. The powerful force of the White Tiger bloodline desperately tried to break free, but all in vain. In front of Bulo, the power of his proud White Tiger Clan was as laughable as children playing house.
"Don't waste your energy. Even if Blue comes, breaking free from my grasp won't be an easy task."
Bulo raised his eyelids, glanced at Eugene indifferently, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"Bah! You old fool, you dare compare yourself to Elder Bru? The clan leader and the others will definitely avenge me!"
Eugene spat and launched into a tirade of insults at Bulo.
"Which route did the rest of your family take?"
Bulo ignored Eugene's foul language; in his view, it was nothing more than the impotent rage of the weak. He had long since become accustomed to being cursed every time he killed someone from the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
Let them curse. The harsher they curse, the more it proves their incompetence. Anyway, the day of the Four Divine Beasts Clan' demise is not far off. What does it matter if they curse us a few times before they die? It's just impotent rage.
"You think you can get the route from me, you old fool? You're dreaming!"
Eugene cursed without hesitation, while desperately circulating the Divine Power within his body, trying to transform it into energy to escape.
"They're all like this, why bother? It just means your Four Divine Beasts Clan is about to be wiped out. Wouldn't it be better to be free sooner?"
Bulo shook his head slightly, and with his withered right hand, he pointed a finger at Eugene's brow. Eugene's eyes instantly dimmed, leaving only two Godhead.
"So, my friend, who are you?"
After dealing with the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Bulo turned to Salomon and asked about these unfamiliar Destruction Seven-Star Demon.
"All you need to know is that I, like you, am an enemy of the Four Divine Beasts Clan."
Salomon looked at Bulo with a hint of apprehension, and had no intention of exchanging any more words with him. He turned and vanished in a swift gray flash.
"Elder, this fellow is so rude!"
A green-haired youth standing next to Bulo couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It's alright. Since they are enemies of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, there's no need to worry about them. Let's go, we still have many more people to kill!"
Bulo waved his hand, not caring about Salomon's attitude, and quickly led his men away from the canyon.
Next, he would continue the pursuit, killing as many members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan as possible before the Eight Great Clans besieged the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range.
