Is This a Supreme God Relic?

A few minutes later, heaven and earth fell silent, and Sean withdrew the vines around them.

"One battle cost me eight drops of Sovereign's Might." Sean felt a pang of heartache.

Even Highgods from the Four Divine Beasts Family possessed Sovereign's Might. They were truly difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, he was a peak Asura. If he had been an ordinary one, surrounded by a Seven-Star Level expert leading twenty or thirty Six-Star Level experts, around a hundred Five-Star Demons, and over a thousand ordinary Highgods—each carrying Sovereign's Might and possessing Innate Divine Abilities—then he would have been in real danger.

"Greetings, Master?" More than thirty Highgods came before Sean and knelt.

"I have some questions for you." Sean looked coldly at the Four Divine Beasts clan members below and asked, "What is the deal with this Short Spear?"

When only a few dozen people remained, he had stopped killing them outright and Soul Seeded them instead. That way, he could learn much information in advance, especially information about the Four Divine Beasts Family.

An Azure Dragon clan member at the front said, "Master, we do not know either. Elder Buweit brought us along to join the siege against Nasser."

Sean thought for a moment, then asked, "Going by the Four Divine Beasts Family's usual conduct, after what happened today, I should be wanted across the entire plane, right?"

The Azure Dragon clan member replied, "Yes. However, against an expert like you, our clansmen generally will not act personally. Instead, we use Sovereign's Might to invite our ancestors' Lord God Emissaries to act."

"Seriously..." Sean pondered inwardly.

The Four Divine Beasts Family possessed an endless supply of Sovereign's Might. They could probably overwhelm most Prefect Lord-level experts simply by relying on ordinary Highgods. But against true peak experts, numbers were useless. Even if the opponent could not win, they would most likely be able to escape. If Sean had wanted to flee earlier, the thousand members of the Four Divine Beasts Family could not have stopped him.

But if they invited the Lord God Emissaries of the Four Divine Beasts Lord Gods, things would become troublesome. Moreover, his Sovereign's Might was limited. If he truly used it all up, his Light Law was still only at the Mid God level. Without Three-element Fusion God Power, encountering another Four Divine Beasts force on the previous scale would be extremely dangerous.

He then asked, "Do ordinary gods of the Four Divine Beasts Family all have Sovereign's Might?"

The Azure Dragon clan member answered, "Every Highgod who achieves Independent Godhood receives two drops of Sovereign's Might for protection. If they render meritorious service, they can receive more Sovereign's Might.

"Some Mid Gods with strong talent or close connections can receive it as well."

Sean continued, "Then you should still have some on you. Gather up the Sovereign's Might and give it to me."

The Azure Dragon clan member agreed, "Yes, Master."

The members of the Four Divine Beasts Family immediately began moving. Before long, they handed Sean sixty-seven drops of Sovereign's Might of different attributes.

The Azure Dragon clan member said, "Master, we had already consumed quite a lot earlier. Only sixty-seven drops remain."

"What about the Space Rings on these corpses? Are there any ownerless ones?" Sean looked at the many bodies scattered across the sand below and asked.

The Azure Dragon clan member replied, "We have already searched them. There were not many that could be claimed, and a large portion of these sixty-seven drops came from their bodies.

"When members of the Four Divine Beasts Family become gods, they all choose External Godhood. Many have Divine Clones. If they possess only one innate talent, their Saint Domain True Body is generally left somewhere safe.

"Under normal circumstances, few dare to kill members of the Four Divine Beasts Family. At most, there are occasional ambushes or encounters with peak experts."

"Peak experts? I recall that your Four Divine Beasts Family has quite a few conflicts with the Nether Serpent family. Since you have so much Sovereign's Might, why not simply destroy the Nether Serpent family?" Sean asked curiously.

Judging from the fact that even a single Highgod possessed Sovereign's Might, other clans without Sovereigns could not possibly be their opponents. Yet the Eight Great Clans from the original story had not been exterminated.

The Azure Dragon clan member answered, "There are indeed conflicts. Quite a few members of our family have even been killed by the Nether Serpent family.

"Destroying the Nether Serpent family would be easy. But it would be very difficult to guarantee the deaths of the Nether Snake Patriarch and the other top experts. If they escaped, it would become very troublesome.

"Therefore, we generally do not destroy the clans or forces of peak Asuras. However, we often wipe out their clansmen or subordinate forces and deliberately humiliate them."

"So that was how it was." Sean understood.

Peak experts, especially those with Sovereign Artifacts or those who were powerful divine beasts, were extremely difficult to kill with certainty.

Even Leis Jing, working with the other emissaries of the Bauhinia Lord God, found it extremely difficult to kill enemies on the Plane Battlefield. Despite entering the Plane Battlefield so many times, he still had not obtained enough badges to exchange for a second Sovereign Artifact.

Conversely, if the Four Divine Beasts Family destroyed the Nether Serpent family, the Nether Snake Patriarch alone could inflict tremendous damage on the Four Divine Beasts Family's experts.

Only by inviting a Sovereign or a Paragon to act could they possibly have absolute certainty of killing such a peak Asura.

But presumably, as long as the Nether Snake Patriarch did not kill the sons, grandsons, or especially valued people of the Four Divine Beasts, the Four Divine Beasts Lord Gods would not act casually.

As for Paragons, the Four Divine Beasts Family likely did not have the standing to invite them to act.

Sean looked at the Sovereign's Might in his hand, put it into his Space Ring, and said, "All thirty-some of you have Divine Clones. Go to a Material Plane called the Carolan Plane and remain there. Do not come out."

Soul Seeding or Soul Bewilderment could only affect the Divine Clone that had been targeted. Divine Clones elsewhere would not be affected, but they could no longer communicate through their souls. Still, they could sense each other's locations.

Thus, keeping these thirty-some people by his side would only bring Sean trouble. On the contrary, if he were alone, the Four Divine Beasts Family would find it very difficult to locate him.

"Yes." All those who had been Soul Seeded agreed. After being Soul Seeded, even if their master ordered them to die, they would obey.

After everyone had left, Sean took out the black Short Spear from before. The moment it appeared, he felt endless baleful energy flooding into his soul. Instinctively, it made him want to slaughter... but the Soul Pearl immediately suppressed the baleful energy.

"This thing is definitely not a Sovereign Artifact," Sean guessed.

Although he had never seen a Sovereign Artifact, based on the original story's descriptions, Sovereign Artifacts simply did not possess such power.

Bu Weite was probably limited in strength, which was why he had mistaken it.

Given its power and hardness, it was understandable for it to be considered an Offensive Physical Lord God Artifact!

"This thing affects one's state of mind. Could it be a Supreme God Relic?" Sean guessed again, but the thought startled him.

There were not many top-tier treasures in the Coiling Dragon world capable of such power. It was somewhat similar to the Crimson Diamond and the Nine Spirit Pearls from the original story...

This one had the Destruction Attribute, possessed such great power, and could affect the soul and provoke slaughter... It truly seemed likely!

However, the Nine Spirit Pearls could make their holder nearly invincible in the soul, while Nasser had been killed by Sean's strongest Soul Attack. Presumably, Supreme God Relics of different attributes had different properties.

"Looks like I can no longer use it as a weapon." Sean immediately put it into his Space Ring.

Nasser had probably known that this thing was not a Sovereign Artifact, but he did not know about the Supreme God Mission, so he could not possibly have considered this possibility.

If it was, then where was the Supreme God Appraisal?

However, the Soul Pearl seemed to react to Supreme God Relics. It would behave abnormally when one was nearby. Perhaps that was a way to complete the mission?

After thinking for a long time without finding any clues, Sean gave up. The most important thing now was not the distant Supreme God Mission, but how to deal with the Four Divine Beasts Family.
