A gorge near Nether Mountain: Youluo Valley.

Mist shrouded the valley as a group of around two hundred Highgods flew overhead. One of them asked, "Hard, where is that all-female tribe you mentioned? There's nothing here."

Hard smiled. "A little farther ahead. Their tribe has a Magic Array. You won't be able to find it unless you get close."

"Haha, good. I've never even heard of an all-female tribe before." The leading man laughed.

More than two hundred people flew straight down. Sure enough, as they drew near, they sensed a strange energy fluctuation below. It appeared to be a Magic Array that concealed its aura.

Suddenly, they rushed into a patch of white fog. They felt as though even their thoughts had slowed. Then, a huge number of Soul Attacks struck from the side.

"Not good, enemies!" The leading man had only just reacted when it was already too late. The instant his divine sense spread out, the power of their souls came into contact with the surrounding white fog, and all of them immediately went blank.

From the outside, more than two hundred Highgods stood dazed amid the white fog, allowing countless Soul Attacks to strike them.

Before long, all two hundred Highgods had been planted with Soul Seeds. They all knelt and said, "Greetings, Master."

Sean said coldly, "Hand over all the Sovereign's Might you possess."

"Yes." The Azure Dragon Clan members who had been planted with Soul Seeds all agreed and took out their Sovereign's Might from their Space Rings.

On distant Nether Mountain, the Death Sovereign, who had been leisurely using her divine sense to inspect the area below the mountain, also showed a surprised expression. "Just how deeply has Sean researched Soul Seeds? He planted Soul Seeds in sixty Six-Star Demons, yet he can still plant them in more than two hundred Highgods. He really is impressive."

Although those sixty Six-Star Demons were not skilled in soul matters, that number alone was terrifying. Now he had planted Soul Seeds in another two hundred Highgods. Though none of them had fused Profound Mysteries, this was still beyond even her, the Death Sovereign. If she were to do it herself, she could not accomplish this.

Soul Seeds and Soul Bewilderment were Profound Mysteries of the Death Rule and had little to do with Willpower. As the Death Lord God, she was not necessarily superior to some peak Asuras in her research of Profound Mysteries.

"It seems I did not waste my Lord God Emissary slot after all." The Death Sovereign grew interested again. "However, after planting Soul Seeds in so many people, the Four Divine Beasts Family will soon find out."

No matter how powerful the Death Rule was, Soul Seeds and Soul Bewilderment could only affect those before one's eyes. Their Divine Clones would lose contact with those who had been planted with Soul Seeds in an instant, and anyone with some experience would know that they had been planted with Soul Seeds.

This was why Soul Seeds could not be used against major powers in many situations. Once someone planted Soul Seeds within another family, that family would immediately know. Of course, regardless, knowing how to use Soul Seeds and Soul Bewilderment was certainly far more useful than not knowing.

In the Netherworld, Blood Dragon Valley was the Four Divine Beasts Family's headquarters in the Netherworld. It covered a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers. A large number of God-level experts lived safely here, while the weaker Divine Clones of many powerful experts who went out on missions also lived here.

It could be said that unless a Sovereign acted, they were almost completely safe.

A leisurely soldier was sunbathing and slacking off when he suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation. The newcomer was a Mid God. After flying over to him, he said, "I am a soldier from the army that went out with Lord Buweit. Quickly notify Lord BuweitSean has appeared, and he has planted Soul Seeds in a group of our army's soldiers."

The soldier, who had just been so relaxed, immediately changed expression.

Near Nether Mountain.

After receiving the news, Buweit immediately went to Tashan's tent and informed him of the matter.

After hearing this, Tashan frowned. "Sean's Death Rule is so powerful that he planted Soul Seeds in two hundred Highgods at once?"

Buweit nodded. "Yes. Judging from his previous actions, his Death Rule cultivation has reached an extremely high level. It is terrifying, and his Soul Seeds are the same."

"He specializes in souls." Tashan hesitated as well.

He was an expert in the Earth Law and had fused five Profound Mysteries. He was also a divine beast. Combined with his innate ability and Sovereign Artifact, both his physical attacks and defenses were extremely formidable, but his soul was somewhat weaker.

He was not afraid of Seven-star Demons or ordinary Prefect Lords. At most, he might be inferior to them, but they could not threaten him either. However, a Death Rule expert like Sean restrained his soul.

Buweit suddenly said, "Lord Tashan, don't worry. If we attack together, all of us have Sovereign's Might. With so many Soul Attacks, no matter how strong his soul is, he won't be able to withstand them."

He also understood Tashan's concern, because this man's Sovereign Artifact was an Offensive Physical Lord God Artifact rather than one for soul defense. This made his physical attacks terrifying, but his only weakness was his soul.

"Good." Tashan also felt that it made sense, but then asked, "What about those two hundred Azure Dragon clan members who have been planted with Soul Seeds? If they launch suicidal attacks, do we kill them or not?"

"This..." Buweit was stumped as well. After thinking for a while, he said, "As far as I know, once people with Soul Seeds use Sovereign's Might, it will place tremendous pressure on the soul of the person who planted the Soul Seeds. So Sean cannot possibly let our clansmen use Sovereign's Might.

But we can use it. At worst, when the time comes, we can use our innate divine abilities to immobilize them first, then trap them. Once we kill Sean, they will naturally be freed from his control."

After hearing this, Tashan said, "This is the only way for now. Let's go. Set out. If we can kill a peak expert with a Sovereign Artifact like this, we must kill him. Otherwise, if he launches random attacks on Four Divine Beasts outposts in the future, it will be troublesome."

Even the Four Divine Beasts Family would not casually offend a peak Asura with no family ties. If a clansman offended one by accident, they had to kill that person as soon as possible. Otherwise, there would be endless future trouble.

A Four Divine Beasts Family army of more than a thousand people marched grandly toward Youluo Valley.

Buweit spotted the clansmen hovering motionlessly ahead at once and immediately warned cautiously, "Everyone, be careful. The clansmen ahead have been planted with Soul Seeds. When we act later, do not harm them."

"What if they try to kill us?" someone asked.

Buweit glanced at the person who had asked and said, "Then use Sovereign's Might and forcibly restrain them. Only a few among them have fused two Profound Mysteries. Without using Sovereign's Might, they cannot do anything to you."

Everyone felt that this made sense after hearing it, but Tashan cautiously inspected the surroundings and said, "Sean isn't here."

"He probably ran away and left these clansmen behind to disgust us." Buweit said, "Come on, take these people down first."

"Yes." After receiving the order, quite a few clan soldiers cautiously approached, but the clansmen ahead showed no reaction at all.

No one knew what was happening. Suddenly, enormous amounts of energy gathered in the sky, and countless wisps of mist formed in an instant.

"A Magic Array?" Tashan immediately understood. Looking at Buweit, he said, "It seems we've been trapped."
