Ennio Reiding

Silence reigned.

Whether they were God-level beings who had chased out from Blood Nether City to watch or God-level beings living in the Nether Sea who had sensed the battle's ripples and secretly observed, none of them dared make a sound.

After all, the energy unleashed in that battle had been too terrifying.

Even the corpse of the fallen side still radiated an extremely frightening aura.

With a sweep of Ailin's divine power, Bensgodo's corpse flew up again. At the same time, Bensgodo's Godhead and Space Ring fell into Ailin's hands.

After putting away the Godhead and Space Ring, Ailin swept the crowd with his Divine Sense and found the referee from the Blood Battle Stage. His voice rang out directly. "Does this count as my victory?"

Hearing Ailin's voice, the referee could not help but shudder. He opened his mouth, yet could not say anything.

If this had been on the Blood Battle Stage, then naturally Ailin would have won. But the terrifying battle between the two of them had not only destroyed the Blood Battle Stage, it had even moved directly to the Nether Sea. Could this still count as a challenge?

Especially since the fallen party had been an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family. He did not dare answer that either.

The referee blamed himself as well. Why had he come here to watch the battle for no reason?

"Hahaha, of course this counts as Mr. Ailin's victory."

At that moment, a man flew out and spoke loudly.

"City Lord!"

"It's the City Lord!"

The people around them instantly recognized the man who had suddenly appeared and hurriedly called out.

When the referee saw Kengo, he relaxed slightly. In this situation, he truly did not dare say much.

"City Lord?"

Ailin had never met the City Lord of Blood Nether City, but after hearing the surrounding voices, he naturally understood the man's identity. He had not expected the City Lord to appear as well.

"Mr. Ailin, simply call me Kengo."

Kengo did not dare put on airs before Ailin. This man had been capable of killing an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family after he used Sovereign's Might. He was undoubtedly an extraordinarily powerful Asura Expert. With such strength, even challenging the Prefect would likely not be difficult.

"Kengo."

Ailin nodded and remembered the name.

"Leave Bensgodo's corpse for your people to deal with."

Afterward, Ailin flew directly toward Blood Nether City.

In every Blood Battle Stage battle, the corpse and spoils of the fallen party belonged to the Blood Battle Stage. However, Ailin only left behind Bensgodo's corpse. He did not hand over the Godhead or Space Ring.

Kengo, and even the other members of the Blood Battle Stage, did not dare say anything.

Only after Ailin left did the God-level spectators around them grow excited. None of them had expected to witness a battle between such experts—and for one of those experts to fall.

In a Divine Plane, no one knew how long it took for an expert to emerge. Likewise, it did not take long for an expert to fall.

"City Lord."

After Ailin left, Butler Borey arrived beside Kengo with the Blood Battle Stage members and the city guards.

"My lord, this..."

Bolei looked at Bensgodo's corpse, hesitant to speak.

If an ordinary expert had fallen, it might not necessarily have been a bad thing for Blood Nether City. But if it was an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family, that was another matter.

Given the Four Divine Beast Family's vindictive nature, Bensgodo's death might very well draw other troublemakers here.

"Put away this fellow's corpse. Ignore everything else."

Kengo spoke directly.

Hearing Kengo's words, Bolei did not dare ask further. "Yes."

Then, at Bolei's signal, the Blood Battle Stage members collected Bensgodo's corpse.

Kengo looked in the direction of Blood Nether City, his gaze shifting as he contemplated something unknown.

Netherworld Continent, Dragon Soul Mountain Range.

This mountain range lay near the Nether Sea and stretched for more than a hundred million li. It was an extremely famous place in the Netherworld.

The Four Divine Beast Family occupied the Dragon Soul Mountain Range.

In the Heavenly Realm, the Netherworld, and the Life God Realm, the Four Divine Beast Family had all four branches. Their scale was second only to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range in Hell.

Deep within the Dragon Soul Mountain Range stood all kinds of castles and buildings of other shapes.

Inside an inconspicuous house in a valley, two people walked out. Their faces were pale, and they could not help exchanging glances.

"The elder has been killed!"

One of them spoke in disbelief.

These two were the Main Bodies of the two clansmen who had followed Bensgodo to Blood Nether City.

Most clansmen left behind their Main Bodies when they went out to travel. Only clansmen strong enough did not need to worry about that. Moreover, the Innate Divine Ability could only be performed through the Main Body, so for powerful clansmen, traveling with their Main Bodies was actually safer.

But today, while accompanying the elder in Blood Nether City as he challenged the Blood Battle Stage, the elder had actually been killed!

Neither of them had expected that Ailin, the man who fought the elder, would be so powerful! This matter had to be reported to the clan leader.

An elder's death was a major event in the Four Divine Beast Family.

The two did not dare hesitate and hurried toward the castle where the clan leader lived.

The Four Divine Beast Family branch in the Dragon Soul Mountain Range likewise had a "clan leader," though he was only the clan leader of the Netherworld branch.

Before long, the two arrived at the most conspicuous castle.

When the High-God clansman at the entrance saw them, one of them spoke directly. "Uri, why have you suddenly come here?"

"Enis, is the clan leader here? We have an urgent matter to report."

Uri's tone was grave.

"An urgent matter? Wait here. I'll go in and report it."

Seeing Uri's grave expression, Enis did not ask further and hurried inside to report it. He also knew that Uri and the other man belonged to Elder Bensgodo's branch and had always remained at Elder Bensgodo's side. If they had urgent business, it might concern Elder Bensgodo.

Within the Four Divine Beast Family, elders were second only to the clan leader.

Soon, Enis came back out.

"The clan leader will see you."

Enis spoke directly.

"Mm."

The two nodded, then entered the castle.

After the two entered, the castle gates closed again. Looking after them, Enis casually said, "I wonder what this is about."

"Probably Elder Bensgodo has something to report."

Another High-God clansman guarding the castle spoke casually. "I heard earlier that Elder Bensgodo seemed to have learned of some mineral vein. I wonder if it's about that."

The elders of their family traveled through the Divine Planes and occasionally found many precious resources for the family. It was through those resources that the members of the Four Divine Beast Family had developed so quickly.

After Uri and the other man entered the castle, they first crossed a plaza before entering a grand hall.

Within the hall, a silver-haired old man sat at the highest seat. He was the clan leader of the Azure Dragon Clan of the Four Divine Beast Family in the Netherworld, and also Gaisreisen's son—Ennio Reiding.
