The Four Divine Beasts Break Through, Preparing to Hunt the Water Overlord Tilly
At this moment, Blue felt he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. First the Bayfield Clan, then the Bagshaw Clan, it seemed that ever since the incident with Ren, anyone could trample on their Four Divine Beasts Clan.
At this moment, Mirna was completely dumbfounded. She began to doubt whether seeking the protection of the Four Divine Beasts Clan was the right decision.
Just as Mirna was caught up in a mental struggle, a large number of figures began to surround her; tens of thousands of Island Guards had already encircled the entire area.
"Everyone, line up! Prepare to attack!"
A captain-like figure stood at the front, giving orders in Blue's direction.
"Oh? Good timing!"
Looking at the growing crowd, Blue showed no sign of panic; instead, he seemed eager to try.
"Everyone, stop!"
Suddenly, a roar rang out from the distant horizon, and three different figures appeared simultaneously. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man with long red hair, and it was he who had just shouted.
"Oh? Three Seven-Star Demon?"
Blue looked at the three figures in the air, his expression showing no fear whatsoever.
"Whoosh!"
Three figures landed on the ground with lightning speed. The leader went directly to Blue, bowed his head respectfully, and spoke:
"Elder Bru, I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused. I, Baokewei, the patriarch of the Bagshaw Clan, apologize to you."
At this moment, Baokewei was filled with fear. He had already learned what had happened on the way here, and he was instantly horrified. Even the grief he had just felt upon hearing of his son's death was overshadowed.
During Blue's stay on Miluo Island, Chief Baokewei quickly reported the matter, Youlai of Handisai Castle told him not to interfere with Blue and to mind his own business.
And indeed, Baokewei did just that, ordering his Island Guard to ignore Blue and do whatever he wanted, while also having his son stay home in seclusion to cultivate.
But to his surprise, Seikla ignored his words and secretly went out to accompany Cecily, only to be mistakenly killed by Blue.
Originally, this matter could have ended there. Although losing a son was painful, it was fine as long as the Four Divine Beasts Clan were not offended. However, Seikla's butler directly issued a blood-red kill order.
As Seikla's butler, he had only been responsible for accompanying Seikla for many years and did not know anything about other family matters. Baokewei also did not publicize the matter of Blue on a large scale, so although the butler knew of Blue, he had never met him. Therefore, when he discovered that his young master had been killed, he was furious and immediately issued the Blood-Colored Miluo Token.
As a result, by the time Baokewei found out, it was already too late; a large number of Island Guard had already started fighting with Blue, which left Baokewei completely stunned.
As the patriarch of the Bagshaw Clan, he was all too aware of the power and domineering nature of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. If this matter was not handled properly, the family might face annihilation.
"Oh? You're the patriarch of the Bagshaw Clan?"
Blue asked the question expressionlessly, seemingly quite calm.
"I am very sorry, Elder Bru, but I will deal with this matter seriously. Everyone who was about to attack you will be executed! We will fulfill any request you may have."
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Baokewei's forehead, and he spoke with a heavy tone.
"Oh? Is that so? Any request is acceptable? Very well, I won't ask for much. Just kill all the tens of thousands of Island Guard around here, and all the hundreds of thousands of onlookers."
Blue spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of a smile, his eyes fixed quietly on Baokewei.
"This..."
Baokewei was stunned. Tens of thousands of Island Guards and hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country had all been killed in one fell swoop?
"All Island Guard, listen to my command! Kill everyone in this area! Then commit suicide!"
Just as Baokewei was in a daze, a rough voice suddenly rang out.
In an instant, more than half of the Island Guard drew their weapons and began attacking the merchants and onlookers in the area.
"Boom~~"
The colorful divine Divine Power instantly scattered throughout the entire space, leaving corpses strewn everywhere.
"Ah! How dare you from Miluo Island!"
"No! I'm from Blade Island, you can't kill me!"
All sorts of screams rose and fell, mixed with curses and pleas for mercy, but it was all in vain. Ordinary gods were powerless against the Island Guard.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, but the Island Guard did not stop; instead, they quickly began attacking their comrades.
"Boer? You, you actually killed me?"
"Talia! Aren't we best friends?"
"I'm sorry, but this is the lord's order!"
Amidst a barrage of questions and apologies, the number of Island Guard rapidly dwindled until only a little over a thousand remained. Then, those thousand-plus warriors forcefully slapped their heads, and their Godhead crumbled.
"Whoosh!"
A burly man, over two and a half meters tall, dressed in ancient-style sleeveless armor, slowly descended, followed cautiously by an elderly man with white hair.
"Elder Bru, greetings. I am Mosi Bagshaw, the master of Miluo Island and the Purgatory Commander. As you requested, kill everyone."
Mosi still wore a gentle smile, as if the person who had just been killed had nothing to do with him.
"Hiss~"
Space distorted for a moment, then Mosi stretched out his fist, and purplish-black energy emerged, instantly transforming into tentacles that bound Baokewei and threw him directly in front of Blue.
"As the clan leader, Baokewei has an inescapable responsibility. If Elder Bru needs him, you may dispose of him as you see fit. As a friend of Leisjing, I, Mosi, am naturally friendly with the Four Divine Beasts Clan and have long admired the clan leaders."
Mosi casually tossed Baokewei in front of Blue and spoke with a hint of flattery.
This scene left Blue somewhat bewildered, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes as he gave Mosi a deep look.
"Very well, since Castle Master Mosi is so sincere, let's leave it at that."
Blue was silent for a moment, then spoke with a hint of surprise. Although he didn't know who Leisjing was, this was the first time he had met someone like Mosi who killed tens of thousands of people for a casual remark. This made him somewhat reluctant to pursue the matter further.
"Let's go!"
Blue waved to the dazed Mirna, stepped into the Metal Lifeform, and quickly headed towards the Star Fog Sea.
Only after Blue's Metal Lifeform disappeared into the horizon did Mosi's expression turn gloomy. With a casual wave of his hand, the Divine Power binding Baokewei vanished.
"Ancestor, I..."
Baokewei stood up, looking at Mosi with trepidation, his tone somewhat frightened.
"Idiot! Is this how you do things?"
Mosi slapped Baokewei across the face with a backhand, her tone icy cold, a murderous intent instantly enveloping Baokewei.
Mosi was in a terrible mood. He hadn't been this angry in a long time. Just now, he had truly felt the threat of death.
As the Purgatory Commander Hell Purgatory, he knew all too well the way the Four Divine Beasts Clan operated. Given Blue's status, offending him was equivalent to offending the entire Four Divine Beasts Clan. Although he, Mosi, was Purgatory Commander like Leisjing, he did not have Overgod Mother.
Mosi knew he wouldn't fare well if he clashed with the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Therefore, he had to do everything he could to get Blue's forgiveness; otherwise, the Four Divine Beasts Clan would never let him go.
Therefore, Mosi decisively abandoned the tens of thousands of Island Guard he had trained for many years, and allowed them to slaughter the guests of Miluo Island, even though this would affect the reputation and heritage of Miluo Island. But as long as he Mosi, was there, nothing was a problem.
"Youlai, from now on, you're in charge of handling the Miluo Island matter!"
After Mosi finished speaking, he turned around with a gloomy expression and flew towards the direction of the Handisai Castle.
"Sigh? In the end, their strength is too weak, and they have no background. If they had Lord Ren's strength, or Leisjing's background, they wouldn't be in this situation!"
Upon returning to the castle, Mosi sighed deeply and finally fell silent.
News of Blue's rampage on Miluo Island spread quickly, after all, many of the hundreds of thousands killed had clones outside.
Miluo Island's reputation was severely damaged, and for a long time to come, fewer caravans came, and business suffered greatly.
However, at the same time, news also spread that Mosi, a powerful Asura behind Miluo Island, was treating Blue with utmost courtesy, which somewhat mitigated the impact of the Four Divine Beasts Clan's crushing defeat to Ren.
This also made people realize that the Four Divine Beasts Clan is still a behemoth that cannot be provoked. Not everyone is Paragon High-God, and ordinary Asura who offend the Four Divine Beasts Clan will only face death.
The news quickly reached the Zijing Continent, in the temporary residence within the Diyi City.
"Huh? Why would the Four Divine Beasts Clan get involved?"
Salomon jumped to his feet upon hearing the news, his voice filled with shock.
Although Salomon usually hides his emotions, this time it wasn't a pretense; he was genuinely shocked.
Salomon was not familiar with Mirna. He only learned from the Black-Horned Elder that she was the contracted divine beast of his ancestor Boyd. He knew nothing about her specific strength or characteristics.
However, considering the feelings of the Black and White Elders, Salomon outwardly pretended to be doing everything for the Boyd Clan, and even righteously stated that since Mirna was a member of the Boyd Clan, he should find a way to save her, and arranged for the Black-Horned Elder to gather information.
In reality, Salomon would never risk rescuing Mirna. Why would he risk his life for someone he'd never met before? Besides, Mirna drawing the attention of the pursuers would be more advantageous for him.
However, Blue's actions have forced Salomon to reconsider the matter. Although Salomon believes that most of the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan are idiots with brute force but no brains, even if they are brainless, they would not help Mirna for no reason.
"Grandpa Black, Mirna, do you possess some special talent that has captivated even the elders of the Four Divine Beasts Clan?"
After a moment of silence, Salomon smiled gently and spoke casually to the Black-Horned Elder.
"Young Master, Mirna's abilities are known only to Ancestor Boyd; even the Patriarch is unaware of them."
The Black-Horned Elder frowned as he answered, then hesitated, his expression showing some inner conflict.
"Actually, young master, the patriarch once guessed about Mirna's abilities, but he never told anyone else." The White-Horned Elder glanced at the Black-Horned Elder, making no attempt to conceal anything.
"Oh? Grandpa Bai, what kind of ability is it that has attracted the attention of the Four Divine Beasts Clan?"
Salomon's tone was very calm, and he seemed to be simply concerned about Mirna.
"Actually, the patriarch has noticed that the ancestor would arrange for some clansmen to collect Life Source Crystal. Furthermore, after obtaining Life Source Crystal, he would spend some time alone with Mirna. Therefore, the patriarch suspects that Mirna's abilities are related to her soul."
The White-Horned Elder didn't hide anything and explained everything about Mirna to Salomon in detail.
"The Life Source Crystal, and the soul."
Salomon extended a finger and tapped it lightly on the table, then asked for some more details before falling into deep thought.
Based on the information obtained from the Black and White Elders, and the reactions of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, it can be basically confirmed that Mirna is a special divine beast that can enhance a person's soul through the Life Source Crystal, and may even enhance the very essence of the soul.
Although the idea of enhancing one's soul sounds unbelievable, Salomon believes that it's highly likely true that something as powerful as the Four Divine Beasts Clan could protect Mirna.
"So that's how it is. I never imagined there was such a special individual hidden within the Boyd Clan. So, what should I do about this?"
Salomon's mind raced. Although it was just speculation, so many details matched up that it was probably true.
Salomon closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. He wasn't worried about Mirna, but rather wondering if there was anything he could use to his advantage, or if there were any points he could leverage.
"Huh? Wait a minute, the Four Divine Beasts Clan isn't going to kill me to silence me, are they?"
Salomon suddenly realized something, his face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't help but stand up, cold sweat immediately beading on his forehead.
Although Mirna's abilities are supposed to be a secret within the Boyd Clan, and Salomon, as a bastard, shouldn't know about them, would the Four Divine Beasts Clan believe him?
Although the Four Divine Beasts Clan might not care about him given their strength, Salomon dared not gamble. Accustomed to assuming the worst of others, Salomon quickly put himself in the shoes of the Four Divine Beasts Clan and concluded that imprisoning Mirna and silencing those in the know was the best option. As for the escaped members of the Boyd Clan, although they were unlikely to know about this, silencing them was still the safest course of action.
"What should we do? If the Four Divine Beasts Clan plans to silence anyone who knows, Nini and I will definitely not escape."
Salomon broke out in a cold sweat, his thoughts in turmoil. Even though this was just one possible scenario, he dared not imagine what would happen if it actually occurred.
The Four Divine Beasts Clan is a mountain. Not to mention Salomon alone, even the Boyd Clan at its peak couldn't compare to a single hair of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"Young Master?"
The White-Horned Elder looked at Salomon and was puzzled for a moment. He had never seen Salomon so flustered before.
"Phew! Grandpa Black, Grandpa White, I'm alright."
Salomon forced himself to calm down and managed a smile as he answered.
The Black and White Elders, exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in the other's eyes. However, the two brothers tacitly agreed not to ask anything, simply exchanged a greeting, and left.
After the two left the room, Salomon's face instantly darkened, and he couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and smash it.
He considered making the matter public so that everyone would know, thus eliminating the need to silence them. However, given the nature of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, they might perceive this as a provocation and choose to eliminate them outright.
Anything done will inevitably leave a trace. If the Four Divine Beasts Clan wants to investigate and find him, he has no chance of escaping.
He had considered telling Aiken about this and seeking his protection, but on the one hand, he probably didn't have enough family connections, and on the other hand, Lord Aiken probably wouldn't dare to offend the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"The Four Divine Beasts Clan are too powerful. How can we possibly escape from them... um?"
Salomon was halfway through his thought when a name suddenly popped into his mind: Ren, the Paragon High-God who had killed a group of Seven-Star Demon and Asura from the Four Divine Beasts Clan and escaped unscathed not long ago in Liang'an Prefecture.
"If we could gain Lord Ren's protection, we wouldn't have to worry about the Four Divine Beasts Clan. But how can we achieve that?"
Salomon closed his eyes tightly, rubbed his temples hard, and muttered to himself.
Diyi City, Salomon paced back and forth in the small courtyard, making a decision—the most crucial decision of his life.
He was left with only two paths: one was to gamble that the Four Divine Beasts Clan didn't care about him, in which case he wouldn't have to do anything; the other was to assume that the Four Divine Beasts Clan would silence him. Under such circumstances, his only chance of survival was to obtain the protection of Lord Ren of the Bifu Continent.
However, since Ren and Salomon were complete strangers and Raine had no reason to help him, Salomon was hesitant for a moment.
Salomon's brainstorming session did not affect Blue's complicated mood.
Blood Peak Continent, Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, Azure Dragon Palace.
In the main seat, four figures representing earth, wind, water, and fire sat side by side, their eyes closed, appearing to be just four ordinary people.
However, Gaiseresen, as the Azure Dragon Patriarch, could only stand below, not daring to overstep his bounds. Clearly, the four people above were the four ancestors of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign.
"I'm back!"
After an unknown amount of time, the Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, dressed in a blue robe, slowly opened his eyes and looked calmly at the entrance of the hall. However, his clenched fists revealed that his emotions were not as calm as they appeared.
After hearing about the abilities of the Spirit Mist Snowflake Clan, the Azure Dragon Sovereign originally intended to personally bring them back. However, considering that his actions might attract the attention of other Overgod, he ultimately decided to let Blue bring them back.
"Whoosh!"
A blue streak of light descended from the horizon, transforming into the figure of Blue, accompanied by a woman with emerald green hair.
"Bang!"
With a thud, Blue knelt down and kowtowed forcefully to the ground, speaking in a low voice:
"Ancestor, Blue has brought the person back."
As for Mirna, she immediately knelt down on the ground, or rather, collapsed to the ground, bowing her head deeply, not daring to breathe.
Since Blue addressed them as "Ancestor," the identities of the people above were quite clear: the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign gods. Mirna had spent her entire life in the Boyd Clan and had barely even seen Asura, let alone the legendary, high and mighty Overgod.
"Lift your head up, Blue, you did a good job."
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding's tone softened considerably, a rare occurrence. He nodded to Blue and with a flick of his right hand, a bottle radiating Sovereign’s Might fell to the ground.
"Here's your reward, take it."
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, spoke in a deep voice, and the bottle containing the Sovereign’s Might landed in front of Blue.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Blue's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He didn't lack the Sovereign’s Might, and even if his ancestor gave him a bottle, he wouldn't care too much. What he cared about was his ancestor's affirmation, which was the greatest honor for him as a member of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"Alright, you two can go now. The little guy stays."
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, glanced at the limp Mirna and waved to Gaiseresen and Blue.
"Yes, Father!"
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Gaiseresen and Blue dared not say another word and quickly withdrew from the Azure Dragon Palace.
"Little one, lift your head."
When facing Mirna, Reding's tone became much colder, sounding somewhat condescending.
"Yes, Overgod."
Mirna clenched her fists, cautiously raised her head, and felt extremely nervous. She knew that her final fate was about to be Judgment.
"Use your Innate Divine Ability against me. Show it to us."
With a casual wave of his hand, the Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding conjured up a Life Source Crystal radiating green energy.
"Yes, Overgod!"
Mirna took a deep breath, picked up the Life Source Crystal, and a green mark appeared between her brows. A special energy began to erupt, and a flower radiating a rich and special energy appeared above Mirna's head. The Life Source Crystal seemed to melt like ice, turning into liquid and merging into Mirna's body.
Innate Divine Ability - Soul Nourishment
The green energy, passing through the flower's stamen, transformed into a pure and special energy that slowly floated to the brow of the Azure Dragon Sovereign, Reding.
"Um?"
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, showed a slight change in expression, which then turned into ecstatic joy. He instantly closed his eyes, and the Divine Beast Bloodline within his body surged wildly.
Seeing this, the remaining three Overgod exchanged a glance, all overjoyed, then shut their mouths and watched quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, fine beads of sweat trickled down Mirna's forehead. The energy of the Life Source Crystal was completely exhausted, and the Azure Dragon Sovereign, Reding, finally slowly opened his eyes.
"Big brother, how's it going? Do you feel like you've broken through?"
The impatient White Tiger Sovereign Lierus, immediately asked.
"One good news, one bad news."
Reding seemed to be in a good mood, and instead of explaining directly, he kept her in suspense for a moment.
"Brother, what time is it? Why are you still pulling this stunt?"
The White Tiger Sovereign Lierus rolled his eyes instantly, his tiger stripes on his forehead furrowing tightly.
"The bad news is that while Spirit Mist Snowflake's Innate Divine Ability can enhance the fundamental nature of the soul, the improvement is clearly limited, decreasing as time goes on. We can't rely on her to break through to the Paragon."
A hint of regret flashed in Reding's eyes; he felt a deep sense of resentment, yet also a sense of helplessness.
"How could this be? Even with such an opportunity, one still can't break through to the Paragon?"
The White Tiger Sovereign Lierus quickly showed a look of disappointment.
"Forget it, it's not easy for a super divine beast to break through to the Paragon stage. In countless years, only the Destruction Overlord has accomplished it. It's normal that no one else can."
Nimo, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, immediately patted the White Tiger Sovereign on the shoulder to comfort her, even though she herself felt unwilling.
"So, big brother, what's the good news?"
Bowen, the Black Tortoise Sovereign, glared helplessly at the chief gods of White Tiger Sovereign and Vermilion Bird Sovereign, and continued to ask.
A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Sovereign, who then continued speaking:
"The good news is that although we can't break through to the Paragon, the increased soul power will reduce the amount of essence and blood we consume when using our Innate Divine Ability. Before long, we'll be able to use our Combined Innate Divine Ability twice in a row."
Click!
This time, the most excited one was not the White Tiger Sovereign Lierus, but the usually taciturn Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen, who subconsciously exerted force, directly creating several cracks in the ground.
"Big brother, are you saying that we can use our Combined Innate Divine Ability twice in a row from now on?"
Bowen paid no attention to the ground's sensations and asked excitedly.
"That's right, it's truly unexpected that the talent of the Spirit Mist Snowflake Clan is so terrifying."
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, softened his gaze towards Mirna slightly, then seemed to remember something and asked:
"Mirna, does anyone else know about your Innate Divine Ability?"
Mirna wiped the sweat from her brow and spoke respectfully:
"Reporting to the Overgod, my Innate Divine Ability is a secret within the Boyd Clan; theoretically, only Boyd himself knows about it..."
"Theoretically? That means other members of the Boyd Clan might also know, or at least guess, right?"
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, interrupted Mirna and continued to ask in a cold tone.
When Mirna saw the expression on the Azure Dragon Sovereign's face, her delicate body trembled, and she immediately nodded vigorously.
Reding nodded slightly, said nothing more, but waved his hand, indicating that Mirna could leave.
After Mirna left the main hall, she found that Gaiseresen was already waiting for her outside.
"Come with me, Miss Mirna. From today onwards, you will live within the Four Divine Beasts Clan. You don't need to go out unless absolutely necessary."
Gaiseresen's expression was indifferent; his attitude towards Mirna was neither bad nor good, just casual.
Mirna didn't say anything, but sighed inwardly. She knew that from this day forward, she had gone from being Boyd's pet to being the pet of the Overgod.
After settling Mirna, Gaiseresen did not return home, but went directly to Blue's residence.
"Blue, that Boyd Clan, and a few of their fugitives, go and kill them all."
Gaiseresen spoke calmly. His ancestor, Azure Dragon, had just sent him a telepathic message, instructing him to arrange for someone to handle this matter and ensure that no one else knew about Mirna's affair. So he came directly to find Blue, who knew the truth.
"Kill the Boyd Clan?"
Upon hearing Gaiseresen's order, Blue was taken aback at first, then pondered for a moment before realizing what he meant and nodding.
Inside the Azure Dragon Palace, after Mirna left, the Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding sensed the changes in his soul and bloodline, and a smile appeared on his face.
For countless years, the Four Divine Beasts have been quite aggrieved, with multiple Overlord coveting their bloodline talents, yet they had no good way to deal with it. Born in Hell, they could not hide in the Material Plane and could only choose to fight.
However, those who have their eyes on them are all powerhouses at the Overlord level. Although the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts can contend with or even kill Overlord, it can only be used once in a short period of time.
Unless a certain Overlord happens to be fighting in the depths of the Spatial Turbulence with them, without alerting the other Overlord, even if they win, they might be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, with other Overlord reaping the benefits.
Now, with the help of the Spirit Mist Snowflake, Reding is confident that he can have his Four Divine Beasts use their Innate Divine Ability twice, so that they will have an extra trump card when facing the Overlord in the future.
However, Reding, who was originally very happy, suddenly noticed something: just now, White Tiger Lierus and Black Tortoise Bowen were very excited, but Vermilion Bird Nemo seemed to be somewhat silent.
Nimo, what's wrong?
Reding looked at Nimo and noticed that his sister seemed a little dazed, as if she was thinking about something else.
Nimo? What's wrong?
White Tiger Lierus also noticed Vermilion Bird Nemo's condition and immediately asked anxiously.
"Phew! Big brother, I suddenly remembered something, but I'm not entirely sure..."
Nimo, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, finally came to his senses. A hint of anxiety flashed in his red eyes as he slowly whispered.
"Oh? What's on your mind? We brothers can just talk things out."
Reding looked at Nimo with some surprise; in his memory, his sister had never had such an expression in all these years.
"Brother, when Mirna used her Innate Divine Ability just now, a special pattern appeared between her eyebrows. I've seen this pattern once before; it was on someone close to the Water Overlord."
Nimo, the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, gazed calmly into Reding's eyes, but her unconsciously clenched hands proved that her heart was not at peace.
"What? Is that so? You mean, the divine beast Spirit Mist Snowflake isn't just Mirna; the Water Overlord Tilly also has one by her side?"
The White Tiger Sovereign, Lierus, clenched his fist instantly, and the grayish-white stripes spread out, transforming into a tiger claw in almost an instant.
"So, the Water Overlord Tilly may have been hiding her true strength all along. Her real power is not just what it appears to be; she may even have reached the Paragon?"
Bowen, the Black Tortoise Sovereign, frowned and calmly began to analyze the situation.
"Paragon? No way? What... what should we do? Should we still target the Water Overlord?"
The White Tiger Sovereign Lierus immediately asked somewhat anxiously, the White Tiger stripes on his forehead twisting into a circle.
The Water Overlord is the youngest of the eleven Overlord and one of the targets the Four Divine Beasts are preparing to hunt, perhaps even the biggest one.
On the surface, the strength of the eleven Overlord is ranked as follows: the Four Rule Overlords are the strongest, followed by the Radiant Overlord and the Thunder Overlord. Among the remaining five, the Fire Overlord and the Earth Overlord are slightly stronger, while the Wind Overlord, the Water Overlord, and the Darkness Overlord are the weakest.
However, wind-types excel at speed, and darkness excels at stealth, so these two are likely better at escaping than the Water Overlord. Therefore, the Water Overlord has always been the primary target of the Four Divine Beasts.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out. Which of these Overlord is as simple as they appear on the surface?"
Reding snorted coldly, his tone revealing a hint of apprehension towards the Law Overlord.
Those who are close to each other know their own situation. Although Reding and the other three are said to be comparable to the Overlord, they also know that they can only deal with ordinary Paragon Sovereign stage. If it is Paragon Sovereign, they are likely to be killed instead.
Countless years ago, before the rules of the Overgod were established, the relationships between the Overgod were far more tense than they are now. The Supreme Artifact had not yet appeared, and battles existed between the Overlord.
At that time, many Overgod formed small groups to protect themselves. The Bauhinia Sovereign was allied with the Four Divine Beasts. At that time, the previous Water Overlord, Slikpus, wanted to improve his soul. Hearing that Bauhinia Sovereign could nurture Soul Stone with soul power, he came to Zijing to ask for one, but was rebuffed by Reding.
At the time, the Water Overlord was unaware of the Four Divine Beasts' strength, but he was still somewhat wary of the Destruction Overlord of Hell, so he did not take immediate action, thus incurring the wrath of the Four Divine Beasts.
Later, the Water Overlord Skripus broke through to the Paragon realm, greatly increasing his strength. He clashed with the Four Divine Beasts, who unleashed their Innate Divine Ability, severely injuring the Water Overlord and nearly killing him.
"If you haven't reached the Paragon, you really wouldn't be able to withstand this attack!"
Scripps, the Water Overlord, snapped out of his daze at the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts. His face was deathly pale, but he still quickly gripped his Sovereign Artifact and launched a pursuit. The sword beam that had traversed billions of miles arrived in an instant.
The Combined Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts requires a large amount of essence blood and soul power, and cannot be used a second time in a short period of time. The four had no choice but to retreat quickly and move closer to the Material Plane force the other party to hesitate.
Because they were too close to the Material Plane, and fearing that their attacks might accidentally damage Material Plane, the Water Overlord dared not act rashly, and simply followed behind the Four Divine Beasts.
As a result, just as the Water Overlord was passing by a certain Material Plane, the Radiant Overlord, Gray, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caught the Water Overlord off guard. The Water Overlord had no idea of the location of the Radiant Overlord's home Material Plane, so he was caught off guard and was killed in the sneak attack.
However, before his death, the Water Overlord detonated all the power within his body, and his Sovereign Spark flew into a nearby Material Plane, the Dela Plane, at the last moment, and was not obtained by the Radiant Overlord.
The Radiant Overlord, Gray, immediately used a projection clone to enter the Material Plane, but he was a step too late. At that time, there was already a Water Element Highgod, Tilly, who directly obtained the Sovereign Spark and became the second Water Overlord.
The Radiant Overlord was seething with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He had thus formed a deep grudge against the Water Overlord, Tilly. This conflict only ended when the Radiant Overlord perished in the great war of the Overgod and Augusta became the new Radiant Overlord.
Over the years, many Overlord have fallen. Of the original eleven Overlord, only eight remain. However, they all perished in the Great War of the Overgod and the chaotic battles between the Overlord. The Four Divine Beasts never truly killed any of the Overlord.
Reding himself was aware of the strength of the four of them; the only ones they could kill were Overlord who were not at the Paragon.
"So, brother, should we still stick to the plan and target the Water Overlord?"
The White Tiger Sovereign, Lierus, frowned and asked, his tone tinged with worry.
According to the original plan of the Four Divine Beasts, they would find an opportunity to eliminate one of the Overlord of earth, wind, water, and fire, seize the Sovereign Spark, and hand it over to their clansmen for refinement. The Water Overlord was the first target, but this was very difficult, as killing the Overlord and seizing the Sovereign Spark were two different concepts.
They fight against the Overlord, and other Overlord will never hesitate to reap the benefits if given the chance. However, their Combined Innate Divine Ability can only be used once in a short period of time, and it is difficult to retain their Sovereign Spark after killing the Overlord.
On the surface, among the Seven Law Overlords, apart from the Thunder Overlord Hullei, who possesses an additional Willpower due to the Earth Sovereign's avatar, the other laws are unable to withstand their ultimate moves.
However, Reding couldn't guarantee that no Overlord might be hiding the strength of Paragon expert. In the past, Reding might have hesitated, but now...
"No, our target is Tilly, the Water Overlord!"
Reding's eyes snapped open, a chilling killing intent erupting from them, and he spoke with a firm tone.
"Big brother?"
Upon hearing the words of the Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, the other three were slightly taken aback, with the White Tiger Sovereign Lierus even exclaiming in surprise.
"We've been biding our time for countless years. While we were certainly worried about the possibility that the Overlord might be hiding his strength, the more important reason was that we couldn't lure the Overlord out. After all, we couldn't exactly march on their Divine Plane."
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, spoke slowly, his brows revealing a cold aura, and said in a deep voice.
"I understand, brother. You mean we should find an opportunity to banish that member of the Spirit Mist Snowflake Clan who's close to the Water Overlord into the Spatial Turbulence? That way, the Water Overlord will definitely search for him."
Bowen, the Black Tortoise Sovereign, remained silent for a moment before quickly understanding what Reding meant.
Ultimately, the reason why the Four Divine Beasts have not taken action to hunt down the Overlord is because they are afraid of being interfered with by other Overlord. However, now that they have a way to lure the Water Overlord into the depths of the Spatial Turbulence, they no longer need to worry about being discovered by other Overlord.
Since the Water Overlord secretly hid a Spirit Mist Snowflake, it means she must know about the Spirit Mist Snowflake's Innate Divine Ability. If the Spirit Mist Snowflake had been banished by someone, she would probably search for it in the Spatial Turbulence.
"But brother, since the Water Overlord has been using Spirit Mist Snowflake for so many years, what if she has already secretly broken through to the Paragon..."
Lierus, the White Tiger Sovereign, hesitated for a moment before raising his question. Although he was the most hot-tempered of the four, he became much calmer when it came to preparing for the great battle.
"It's alright. As long as we use Mirna's abilities to strengthen ourselves, we'll soon be able to use our Innate Divine Ability abilities twice in a row. At that time, even Water Overlord at the Paragon will die!"
The Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding, tapped the table and then spoke firmly.
"Alright, big brother, whatever you say, we'll do it. Anyway, the four of us have endured long enough over the years!"
The silent Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen slammed his fist on the table, shattering it into dust, and spoke with a firm tone.
"That's right, brother. Once we succeed, we can secretly give the Water Sovereign to Gaiseresen for refinement. Then, the five of us can hunt down the other Earth, Fire, and Wind Overlord together. By the time the Rule Overlord realizes what's happening, we'll already have four Overlord!"
The White Tiger Sovereign, Lierus, spoke with great ambition, as if the Rule Overlord were nothing in front of him.
Reding chuckled. While he found Lierus's crazy idea somewhat exaggerated, it wasn't impossible, since it was originally part of their plan.
If they can successfully kill one of the Overlord and have one of Gaiseresen and his group refine it, their situation can be instantly reversed. Before the Rule Overlord can react, they can launch a surprise attack, kill one or two more Overlord, and obtain the Sovereign Spark.
If successful, their family will have four of them, as well as multiple Law Overlord, giving them the power to fight even against Rule Overlord.
"Alright, let's plan this in detail. At the same time, we'll work together to strengthen our bloodlines as quickly as possible using the Spirit Mist Snowflake. Once we can unleash our Combined Innate Divine Ability twice, we'll act immediately!"
Reding's expression calmed down considerably. Looking at his younger siblings who firmly supported him, he raised his head and gazed resolutely at the sky. In a daze, he seemed to see the bright future of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
Meanwhile, Tilly, the Water Overlord, was unaware that the Four Divine Beasts were preparing to hunt her down. The entire Water Divine Plane was much calmer than Hell.
The Water Divine Plane, one of the Seven Divine Planes, is composed primarily of oceans, with the land divided into seven continents of varying sizes, each surrounded by numerous islands.
Unlike the Supreme Plane created by the Overgod, the Seven Divine Planes were all created by the Overgod. The world contained elements of their respective attributes, and the elements of the world in the Water Divine Plane were almost entirely composed of Water Elements.
Therefore, those who cultivate other laws will progress much slower in the Water Divine Plane, where over 90% of the gods are Water Law gods.
Giant Rock Bay, an island spanning thousands of miles, stands surrounded by a thin layer of white mist. The Water Element in the world is extremely rich, making it a sacred place for ordinary gods to cultivate.
However, there were hardly any people around the island. Even when Metal Lifeform occasionally passed by, they only walked around the perimeter and would never easily approach the fog.
This area, known as the Ice Mist Sea Area, is a dangerous place beneath the Water Divine Plane. It is surrounded by a layer of milky white mist. Once you enter it, your soul will be affected, and you will gradually lose your way. Very few people can come out.
However, this was not difficult for the Asura powerhouse, Barbary. The outside world only knew that this place was a dangerous place, and few people knew that this place was the residence of the strongest Overgod of the Water Divine Plane, the Water Overlord.
"Whoosh!"
After a flash of pale green light, the green-haired burly man passed through the mist and carefully landed on the ground. Looking at the towering ice-blue tower in the center of the island, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
"It's Mr. Barbary, long time no see."
A clear, melodious female voice rang out, and a silver-haired woman wearing a blue short robe slowly walked out.
"Miss Agnes, it's been a long time. Is the Overgod here? I have something to report."
A slight smile appeared on Barbary's burly face as he spoke respectfully.
Barbary was extremely respectful and dared not put on airs in the slightest, even though he was a veteran Asura for many years and the silver-haired woman in front of him was only a Seven-Star Water Star-User.
However, Agnes, the silver-haired woman, was a close follower of the Overgod, and her position in the Overgod's heart was incomparable to that of a servant like him, so naturally he would not offend her.
"Please wait a moment, I'll inform them for you."
Agnes smiled slightly, gave a simple reply, and walked into the tower. This wasn't Barbary's first time here, so Agnes was used to it.
After a while, Agnes came out again and spoke calmly:
"Mr. Barbary, the Overgod is waiting for you inside."
Barbary nodded slightly and quickly entered the tower, walking step by step towards the top until he passed through a long corridor, where a light blue throne was revealed in its entirety.
"Barbary greets the Overgod!"
Barbary knelt down with a thud and spoke respectfully.
"Lift your head, Barbary."
A soft, feminine voice rang out from the throne, gentle and soothing yet imbued with undeniable authority.
Barbary then slowly raised his head, looking at the throne with reverence.
The woman in the seat was dressed in a light blue robe, with long, ice-blue hair that fell to her hips, and white light emanating from her eyes.
The woman on the throne is the true Overlord of the Water Divine Plane, the strongest Water Element Overgod, the Water Overlord — Tilly.
