After his transformation, the Ōtsutsuki Clan member had clearly grown considerably stronger. His aura alone was enough to make most of those present tremble.
Some had even begun to consider backing out, crying in terror:
"First Elder, we should retreat! This Ōtsutsuki is actually this powerful!"
"His aura alone has almost reached the Deity Transformation Realm. With the Ōtsutsuki Clan's unique abilities, I'm afraid he's already a match for a Deity Transformation Realm expert."
"That's right, First Elder. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. There's no need to fight him head-on here!"
Listening to the chaotic discussion behind him, the First Elder frowned slightly and shouted:
"Shut up! Stay put and watch!"
At his angry shout, those below indeed quieted down considerably.
Some quick-witted subordinates noticed that neither the First Elder nor the Third Elder showed the slightest fear. There was even a hint of delight on their faces.
Clearly, the two probably still had some trump card. This discovery delighted the subordinates and made them behave much better.
Their reaction also made the First Elder nod inwardly. These were all elites of the family, and he did not want to see them fail to amount to anything.
Just as the First Elder was pondering this, the Ōtsutsuki Clan member suddenly let out a furious roar.
The First Elder hurriedly looked up. The ground where Ōtsutsuki had stood had shattered, and he was already in front of the Third Elder.
His clenched fist, brimming with fury, swung toward the Third Elder's head.
The Third Elder's expression turned grave, and he hurriedly swung his own fist to meet it.
In an instant, their fists collided, forming two semicircular barriers. Neither side actually gained the upper hand.
But the surrounding ground could not withstand the impact.
