The Four Divine Beasts Family's Kill Order

"The best and safest method is still to go to Nether Mountain."

Sean considered many options before finally deciding this was the best one.

Now that he was facing the Four Divine Beasts Family's pursuit, he needed a way to protect his life. They possessed an endless supply of Sovereign's Might, while he did not.

The only solution at present was to quickly raise the Light Law to the Highgod level. Then he would have an endless supply of Three-element Fusion God Power and the capital to contend against large numbers of Four Divine Beasts Family experts.

Although he had always wanted to keep his Three-element Soul Mutation secret, if his life were truly in danger, he would not be able to worry about that anymore.

Yet despite his powerful soul as a Three-element Soul Mutation, he had spent hundreds of millions of years cultivating the Light Law without reaching the Highgod realm. The possibility of breaking through through cultivation in a short time was likely small. At present, the only opportunity he knew of was the Nether Fruit.

Furthermore, if he obtained the Nether Fruit, he might become an emissary of the Death Sovereign and acquire a Defense Sovereign Artifact. Then he would no longer need to worry too much about the Four Divine Beasts Family.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if he failed, he would still be safe staying on Nether Mountain. At most, he could simply continue cultivating slowly. Surely the Four Divine Beasts Family would not dare enter Nether Mountain.

Sean knew the direction of Nether Mountain. After all, it was where the Death Sovereign resided. He had investigated it when he first came to the Netherworld hundreds of millions of years ago, but he had never gone there.

When he possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Demon, he had still been improving rapidly, so there had been no need to take such a risk. After reaching the Asura level, however, he met a Prefect Lord and learned that many peak Asuras also wanted to become Lord God Emissaries, thus attempting to reach Nether Mountain. Most failed, and some even perished.

As for why, no one knew. In any case, over countless trillions of years, two people had succeeded. Several dozen Asura-level experts had tried, half of them died, while the other half left in a miserable state.

However, the Death Sovereign currently had two Lord God Emissaries. This gave Sean a rough guess that he was likely living long before Linley's era.

Black Wind Mountain:

After returning, Sean went directly to find Breler.

"Lord Sean?" Seeing Sean suddenly appear before him, Breler hurriedly greeted him.

Sean said, "Breler, this place is no longer very safe. I have come into conflict with the Four Divine Beasts Family, so you should leave as soon as possible."

"The Four Divine Beasts Family?" Breler's expression changed dramatically. He then asked, "Then where does Lord Sean intend to go?"

"It is better if you do not know." Sean shook his head and tossed him a Space Ring. "You have stayed with me for the past few hundred years. In theory, no outsiders should know about it, but I cannot be sure whether the Four Divine Beasts Family can investigate it.

"To be safe, you should find a Material Plane and hide. There are one hundred trillion Nether Stones in this Space Ring, enough for you to teleport freely to any Material Plane."

"A Material Plane? All right, I will return to my own Material Plane." Breler accepted the Space Ring as he spoke.

Sean nodded. "Fine. I will give you two Seven-Star Demons implanted with my Soul Seed. They will obey your orders.

"However, do not let them die. I will keep their Divine Clones here. Once I am sure there is no more danger, I will have them notify you."

As a top-tier Magic Array Grandmaster, Breler remained extremely useful. Just his ability to help inscribe Magic Arrays for extracting Sovereign's Might was already invaluable. Even if Sean became a Lord God Emissary, his Sovereign's Might would not be inexhaustible.

"Thank you, Lord Sean." Breler was overjoyed.

Having two Seven-Star Demons loyal to him was far more useful than any amount of wealth.

"You are welcome. I will be leaving as well. I will take the other Seven-Star Demons here with me." After saying that, Sean vanished.

Breler sighed and murmured, "This Death Rule is truly useful."

Hell, Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range.

Gaisreisen, patriarch of the Four Divine Beasts Family, sat in the great hall and coldly looked at the man below. "You are saying that among your more than one thousand men, there were twenty-two Six-star Demons, one hundred and three Five-star experts, and the rest were Highgods who had achieved Independent Godhood.

"With so many of you joining forces after using Sovereign's Might, only a few dozen escaped after being slaughtered?"

"Yes, Patriarch." Buweit's Destruction Divine Clone trembled in fear as he faced the patriarch of the Four Divine Beasts Family.

Although he was a Seven-star Demon, the family had lost too many experts this time. He would inevitably be punished.

"Then why did you lead so many clansmen into a battle with Sean?" Gaisreisen asked coldly.

Buweit had long prepared an answer. "A friend of mine, Senar, was killed by him while he was with me. It was a complete affront to our Four Divine Beasts Family."

He did not wish to inform the patriarch about the Sovereign Artifact. If the family learned of an ownerless Sovereign Artifact, it certainly would not end up in his hands. Even he did not know why Senar had obtained an ownerless Sovereign Artifact.

"Is that true?" Gaisreisen asked with a frown.

"Patriarch, I can swear a Supreme God's oath," Buweit said solemnly.

A Supreme God's oath could not be falsified, but it could conceal the truth.

"Very well, I believe you." Gaisreisen asked again, "Did he have an Offensive Lord God Artifact?"

"No," Buweit replied.

"When did such an expert appear in the Netherworld? I recall that this Sean was listed in the intelligence reports as merely a peak Seven-Star Demon." Gaisreisen was puzzled as well.

The emergence of every Seven-Star Level expert in the Higher Planes caused a certain amount of commotion. Gaisreisen might not care, but he had still heard of some of them.

Buweit hurriedly said, "Judging from the Floating Shadow recordings of his previous battles, he was indeed only at the strength of a Seven-Star Demon, and he had never challenged a Prefect Lord. But during this clash, we discovered that his strength was terrifying, especially his Soul Attack."

"So he had been concealing his strength all along." Gaisreisen said coldly, "Can you find his location?"

Buweit answered, "Sean has neither a family nor a territory, so he will be difficult to find. Furthermore, he implanted Soul Seeds in members of our family, but he appears to have sent them to other planes. The Divine Clones in the Netherworld can no longer sense them."

"He is an expert in the Death Rule, so he naturally understands Soul Seeds better than we do. It is impossible to find him through that."

After thinking for a moment, Gaisreisen said, "Do this. Issue a wanted order throughout the Netherworld. Anyone who can provide information about Sean will be rewarded by our Four Divine Beasts Family with ten drops of Sovereign's Might."

"Yes, thank you, Patriarch." Buweit continued, "Patriarch, Sean's strength will likely make him difficult to deal with through numbers alone. We may need to invite our ancestor's emissary."

"Fine. Go find Tashan and tell him I agree. Once he goes to the Netherworld, you will be responsible for locating Sean, while he will be responsible for killing him," Gaisreisen said indifferently.
