The Netherworld.

"Boom!" The waves crashed against the shore as the eleven Sovereign arrived above the nameless island.

This battle between the two veteran Edict Sovereign was, as usual, only attended by other Sovereign; the ordinary Sovereign were unaware of this news.

"Everyone's here." The pretty red-haired girl smiled at everyone, seemingly quite confident about the upcoming battle.

"My lord." Except for Viviah, the Life Sovereign, and Uhtred, the Destruction Sovereign, all the Sovereign bowed in respect.

The weak address the strong as "Master" to show respect; this is the normal tone in the Coiling Dragon World.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin." At this moment, the Destruction Sovereign, shrouded in black robes, suddenly spoke indifferently, " Lilith, you should know my current strength. I hope you don't die by my hand."

For countless ages, Uhtred had been locked in a struggle with Orloff. After mastering the technique of ' Space-Time Chaos,' he believed he had surpassed his opponent and become the most powerful being among the Sovereign.

Little did I expect that Orloff had been hiding his true intentions so well!

However, this terrifying Orloff was... dealt with by 'that person'...

Uhtred still feels lingering fear when he thinks about the ' World Destruction ' scene of that battle.

At the same time, he constantly hoped that he could also reach that level!

The pretty red-haired girl, Lilith, confidently looked at the black-robed Uhtred and said, "It's just a competition; I shouldn't die so easily. Let's go, let's go into the Spatial Turbulence." With that, she made a single gesture—

A wide spatial rift suddenly appeared in the space ahead.

The three Edict Sovereign flew into it first, followed closely by Luo Ao and the other eight. Then the spatial rift disappeared and was repaired.

"It's said that the three veteran Edict Sovereign incredibly powerful. Especially the Destruction Sovereign, who is recognized as the 'strongest' among the Sovereign. This time, we can finally witness his strength!" The Light Sovereign Albert's eyes flickered as he secretly observed the Destruction Sovereign.

He had not personally experienced Uhtred's terrifying power, and his information was merely hearsay. Therefore, his awe of Uhtred was far less intense than that of other Elemental Sovereign.

As for the other veteran Sovereign, they were more curious about how the Sovereign of Death would perform later.

After all, according to their previous speculation, even the Sovereign of Death had lost the qualification to fight the Destruction Sovereign.

In the void, turbulent currents of various colors surged and flowed.

Eleven figures stood in the void.

"Is her eldest sister really confident?" The Life Sovereign, who looked remarkably like an elven goddess, was actually a little nervous.

Regardless of what others might think, the pretty red-haired girl Lilith and the black-robed Uhtred have already begun to clash.

"Look, those two are about to make their move," the Lightning Element Sovereign suddenly said.

Everyone else quickly looked over as well, including the Life Sovereign; all the Lords focused their attention on watching.

In the vast void, a beautiful red-haired girl stood calmly, gazing at her distant opponent— the Destruction Sovereign.

The Destruction Sovereign's body emitted a chilling black light. This black light was pure black, Profound Mysteries of Devouring everything around it, even the Spatial Turbulence. Gradually, the black light Profound Mysteries of Devouring a wider and wider area, and in a short while, it spread to a range of a thousand miles.

" Uhtred, I've improved quite a bit this time. If you're too confident, you might lose again." The pretty red-haired girl spoke again with a mischievous grin, making Uhtred's breath catch in his throat slightly.

"If you can beat me, then come on!" Uhtred was also very confident in his own strength. After the fall of Orloff, he was even hoping to have a worthy opponent to spur him on.

"You said it yourself!" The pretty red-haired girl's voice suddenly turned cold, and her aura changed abruptly!

"Hiss~~" Endless gray light rose from the red-haired girl in a purple robe, instantly spreading over a thousand miles. At the very center of the gray light, the girl's figure became blurry and floated silently within the gray light.

" Uhtred, I don't have your patience to slowly study the talents of other races, but this move should still be quite powerful." The cold voice of Sovereign of Death Lilith echoed in the void.

Without waiting for Uhtred's response, she then took action.

"Whoosh--"

Suddenly, the sound of swaying tree branches rang out. Lilith, now in her true form, stared coldly at her opponent. Among the countless vines that extended from her, a strange vine, entirely deathly gray, suddenly appeared!

The deathly gray vines were inconspicuous among the many vines, but even without being used, the sharp energy they emitted had already shattered the chaotic Spatial Turbulence around them.

Luo Ao and the others watching from afar all turned their attention to that direction.

Everyone understood that the unassuming gray vines must be the Overgod Divine Artifact of the Sovereign of Death!

"Boom!" The endless gray light around them instantly subsided and completely merged into the body of the Sovereign of Death.

This caused a vacuum to appear within a radius of a thousand miles in an instant, with not even a trace of energy flowing through it.

"Whoosh~~"

A strange, deep voice rang out from the Sovereign of Death. At the same time, a huge phantom appeared behind her, its height probably comparable to the First Peak in the Netherworld — Nether Mountain!

This was a massive, red female creature, but her body was covered with endless vines and intertwined roots. Around her body were countless roots and vines that seemed to extend indefinitely!

Clearly, the true form of this Sovereign of Death is, like the Wisteria Fiend that Luo Ao encountered before, a rare Special Lifeform form!

"What kind of life is this?" Echidna was watching from the sidelines, also marveled at the sight.

While plant-based Special Lifeform forms are rare, they are more common than rock-based life forms like Volcano Giant and Earth Giant. However, she had never even heard of one that was as large as the Sovereign of Death.

"This is the Netherworld Vine." Luo Ao did have some knowledge of the Sovereign of Death's true form. " The Sovereign of Death was the first life form after the birth of the Netherworld, living in the depths of the Nether Sea. She is a unique existence in the world, without any kin or descendants."

The Sovereign of Death was the first life in the Netherworld, while the Destruction Sovereign was the first life in the Infernal Realm. Both of them were exceptionally blessed.

"Splash--"

Just as Luo Ao and Echidna were communicating through their souls, the Sovereign of Death's attack was fully prepared and burst forth instantly!

The enormous, red female creature seemed to casually wave its vines, charging towards the Destruction Sovereign at near- Teleportation speed. Within it was the Overgod Divine Artifact of death!

"Hiss~~"

Countless vines instantly covered an area of thousands of miles, like billions of venomous snakes flicking their tongues. The billions of vines almost coiled around the Destruction Sovereign.

Like a dense steel cage, endless vines enveloped the Destruction Sovereign Uhtred, in the blink of an eye, and then the most deadly Overgod Divine Artifact hidden within suddenly unleashed its power.

"Laugh!"

The vine-like Overgod Divine Artifact of death suddenly extended its length, just like a giant Swallow Heaven trying to constrict its prey!

The Edicts of Death - Netherworld Entanglement!

"Hmm? Such power!" Uhtred, sensing an impending danger, quickly drew his Overgod of Destruction Spear and unleashed his material attack— World Destruction!

"Waving~~"

The black gun shadows instantly transformed into billions of gun shadows, covering a thousand-mile area, heading towards the most dangerous giant python that Swallow Heaven.

"Boom!"

The black spear and the gray vine whip collided head-on, and a thunderous explosion rang out as the two Overgod Divine Artifact were shaken off their respective sides!

" Lilith, you?!" Both Uhtred and the other Sovereign were somewhat surprised.

Although Uhtred launched the attack later, giving Lilith a slight advantage, the final outcome of being evenly matched still surprised them greatly.

"These two are terrifying." Echidna couldn't help but tremble at the power of the attacks just now from the two Edict Sovereign.

Compared to these two, her strength Sovereign the Edicts of Fate is indeed somewhat lacking.

"These vines have indeed reached the level of Sovereign Artifact." Luo Ao held a small section of vine that had just been broken off by Uhtred and found that its toughness was indeed no less than that of Sovereign Artifact.

" Lilith, you've Paragon of the Edicts of Death?" Uhtred looked at his opponent with some surprise.

In the past, Lilith's offensive capabilities were actually relatively weak among the Edict Sovereign.

The reason for this is that Lilith's Edicts of Death were not perfected. They lacked a portion of the Willpower compared to them, and were also weaker in terms of Profound Mysteries intensity.

But after that attack, he realized that Lilith's attack power was now quite close to his own.

It's hard to imagine such a dramatic transformation if the other party had simply discovered some extraordinary technique. He's more inclined to believe that the other party has completely perfected the Edicts of Death.

"What, can't I break through to the Paragon?" The Sovereign of Death didn't deny it outright, but instead asked playfully.

The Destruction Sovereign fell silent instantly.

Given her lifespan Sovereign of Death, if she had the potential to cultivate to the Paragon, she would have broken through long ago. She wouldn't have waited until today. There must be other reasons behind this.

Not only did the Destruction Sovereign think this way, but the other Sovereign present were also very curious about this.

If they could figure out the reason for the Sovereign of Death's breakthrough, perhaps they too could break through to the Paragon.

Speaking of which, haven't we been releasing too many Paragon lately?

In the endless past, it was rare for a Paragon being to appear, but recently three Paragon beings have been born in succession.

"Speaking of which, Liwa seems to be in the same situation as the Sovereign of Death. Could it be?" Regarding Liwa, they have already confirmed that he achieved his breakthrough because of Soul Mutation that increased his soul potential.

So, how does the Sovereign of Death manage to do it?

Could it be that this is also through Soul Mutation?

Has the Sovereign of Death already developed ' Soul Mutation '?

Many Sovereign felt a surge of excitement, as if they had discovered the truth of the matter.

While the discovery of ' Soul Mutation ' may seem incredible, if the Destruction Sovereign could develop a combined attack technique from the Four Divine Beasts, then the deceased Orloff could also have developed various profound and unpredictable methods...

It's not impossible that the Sovereign of Death has researched ' Soul Mutation '.

"It seems things are going very smoothly." Observing the thoughts of everyone present, especially the Fire Element Sovereign, Luo Ao nodded in satisfaction.
