The Destruction Overlord's Thoughts

The gray streak sped away, quickly leaving the Ashcroft Clan behind and transforming into Salomon's figure.

"Looks like they didn't catch up."

Salomon breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, while the Four Divine Beasts Clan were not good people, the Eight Great Clans that were hunting them down were not good people either.

At least in Salomon's view, if they were in different positions and he were Ashcroft, he would never mind capturing any enemies from the Four Divine Beasts Clan he encountered and using them as cannon fodder.

"The Four Divine Beasts Clan is truly foolish. They actually withdrew all their forces to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. Are they afraid the enemy won't be able to find them?"

Salomon took out a new Metal Lifeform from his Spatial Ring, sat back down on it, and began to move around again.

In Salomon's view, the leader of the Four Divine Beasts Clan was an absolute fool. In this crisis, instead of thinking about scattering his people to escape, he concentrated them all in one place, as if he was afraid that he would be wiped out.

From Salomon's perspective, although the Four Divine Beasts Clan is facing a huge crisis this time, it is not actually to the point of complete annihilation. If it were him, he would gather the clan's Asura to ambush them and kill one or two before the Asura of the Eight Great Clans could gather.

It should be noted that the Four Divine Beasts Clan has a total of six Asura- level experts stationed there, while the Eight Great Clans that are preparing to surround them in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range only have eight Asura. The gap between the two sides is not so great that they cannot fight back.

The biggest advantage of the Four Divine Beasts Clan is that their clan's Asura are always together. As long as they kill a few of the eight Asura when they are separated, the clan's crisis will naturally be resolved. After all, there are only a few people like the Eight Great Clans who have the strength and wealth to risk everything and perish together with the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

Even without doing so, the Asura and Seven-Star Demon of the family could be dispersed, transferred in different batches, and placed in different Material Plane, instead of being wiped out in one fell swoop as they are now.

How is the situation?

On the outskirts of the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, within the territory of the Bolin Clan, one of the Eight Great Clans, an ancient voice resounded, carrying boundless majesty.

An aged figure sat quietly at the head of the main hall, dressed in a simple, ancient white robe, with short gray hair. On the surface, he appeared to be just an ordinary old man.

However, the higher-ups of Fiend Castle would immediately recognize him as none other than Bolin, the patriarch of the Bolin Clan of the Heavenly Realm, a top-tier Asura powerhouse who had been famous for countless years.

The rule of fate is the most mysterious of the Four Edicts, and the number of Asura powerhouses is relatively small in comparison. Therefore, although Bolin's strength is not as great as Magnus's, he is still one of the few powerful beings in the rule of fate.

"Chief, according to our observations, 127 teams from the Four Divine Beasts Clan have returned to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range recently, of which we have successfully stopped 43."

Below the main hall, a middle-aged man with short gray hair knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.

"Very good. Tell the clansmen to continue the pursuit, but avoid the most critical routes. Leave a way out for the Four Divine Beasts Clan; that way, they'll huddle together like maggots."

A relieved smile appeared on Bolin's face, as if he could already see the scene of the Four Divine Beasts Clan being completely wiped out.

At this time, the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range had gathered more than 70% of the surviving members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and the remaining forces were also rushing towards the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range with all their might.

Bolin knew perfectly well the route the Four Divine Beasts Clan were taking. The Four Divine Beasts Clan thought they were being discreet, but in reality, they couldn't possibly hide it from them.

However, Bolin did not take action on several core routes. After all, if the Four Divine Beasts Clan scattered and fled, it would cause great trouble for the Eight Great Clans. Therefore, Bolin, who arrived first, discussed with Rernas and reserved the entry routes for the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

However, while entering is easy, leaving is difficult. The members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan continued to gather in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. Inside their Ancestral Land, everything was peaceful, as if it had not been affected by the outside world at all.

"By the way, Chieftain, Chief Barbary Venna will arrive in about ten days, what do you think?"

The white-haired middle-aged man suddenly remembered something and looked at Bolin, asking her a question.

"Those two are coming? Then the others should be here soon too. That's good, since it's just me and Rernas, which isn't enough."

Bolin held a Zen Staff in his right hand, tapped it lightly on the ground, and slowly stood up.

In the depths of the Chaos Sea, within the destructive aura of Wukun City, a figure shrouded in black robes sat quietly on the throne.

"If this continues, the Four Divine Beasts Clan will likely be completely wiped out. If all their Highgod die, I'm afraid..."

The Destruction Overlord frowned, his Divine Sense sweeping across the Blood Peak Continent time and again. He was fully aware of what had happened in the Youlan Prefecture.

He had no interest in the Four Divine Beasts Clan themselves, nor did he care whether they perished or not. After all, in Hell, people died every day, and the destruction of powerful clans was commonplace. The Destruction Overlord had seen far too many of these.

However, what the Destruction Overlord cared about was his research. Over the years, in order to study the ultimate moves of the Four Divine Beasts, he had secretly captured many members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

Currently, this research has reached a critical stage. The Destruction Overlord needs someone with the Divine Beast Bloodline, preferably a powerful Highgod with a high concentration of bloodline. Therefore, he does not want the Four Divine Beasts Clan to perish like this.

However, he couldn't directly intervene. On one hand, as the Overlord, it would be beneath his dignity to get involved in such a matter. On the other hand, Ren had a grudge against the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Although it was unlikely that Ren would lower himself to take action given his current status, if Uterede were to step in to protect the Four Divine Beasts Clan, it would likely antagonize Ren.

With the essence of the Four Divine Beasts in his hands, Ren did not want to cause trouble with Ren Uterede this matter. After all, Ren had been living in the Material Plane for a long time and had a good relationship with Thanatos. Uterede would not take it by force unless absolutely necessary, and trading the essence was the best solution.

If the matter of the Four Divine Beasts Clan causes animosity with Ren, obtaining the Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood will likely become much more difficult. Therefore, the Destruction Overlord is now in a dilemma.

"I can't directly get involved in this matter, so in that case..."

After a moment of contemplation, the Destruction Overlord vanished from Wukun City with a slight movement.

On the Blood Peak Continent, in the Lianyun Mountain Range, a figure dressed in a blood-red robe sat in front of a chair, carefully wiping his precious chess pieces.

"Hmm? Overlord!"

The chess piece in Pash's hand instantly fell onto the table. He quickly stood up from his chair, bowed respectfully to the black-robed figure who had suddenly appeared, and spoke.
