After the battle, all eleven Sovereign -level powerhouses left the Spatial Turbulence and returned to the nearest Netherworld plane.

A cool sea breeze was blowing as the eleven people suspended high in the air chatted casually before slowly separating.

" Echidna, you go back first. I have some things to do later." Before parting, Luo Ao did not return to the Celestial Realm with Echidna, but instead went with Amatis, the Fire Element Sovereign.

"Alright." Echidna glanced at the two of them, but didn't seem to care too much.

" Luo Ao, last time you Fire Divine Plane, I was in seclusion. This time, why don't you come and visit my Golden Flame Mountain? I happen to have some questions about the Elemental Laws of Fire that I'd like to ask you." Amatis was a lion-man with dark golden eyes, looking very majestic and imposing, but his smile at this moment was very friendly, as if he were greeting a long-lost friend.

" Amatis, I'm quite curious about your special talent and technique. Why don't I come visit you?" Luo Ao's face was also beaming with a warm smile, the two of them like old friends who had known each other for many years.

"Are these two really that close?" Huerlei, the Lightning Element Sovereign, was also somewhat puzzled when he saw this scene from afar.

However, as if he had remembered something, he hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not go over to join in the fun.

And so, with smiles on their faces, Amatis and Luo Ao flew together toward the Silent Soul Island deep in the Nether Sea.

Midway through the flight, a voice suddenly echoed in Luo Ao's mind, " Luo Ao, your strength should be about the same as Amatis', right? Are you confident you can defeat his Overgod Divine Artifact?"

The one transmitting the message was none other than the Sovereign of Death.

Luo Ao couldn't help but smile; it seemed no one had realized his true purpose. However, this was also because he had deliberately concealed his Water Element Paragon, allowing the other Sovereign to lower their guard.

" Lilith, thanks. I'm quite confident in myself, and as you know, I have the Primordial Divine Weapon, so even if I lose, my life won't be in danger," Luo Ao replied quickly via telepathy.

"Since you've put it that way, then I've fulfilled one of your requests." After transmitting his voice, the Sovereign of Death ignored Luo Ao and returned directly to his Nether Mountain.

Her decision to challenge Uhtred was entirely due to Luo Ao's request.

"This guy is so mysterious, what is he planning to do?" The Sovereign of Death was also a little puzzled, but the ' Paragon of Two Elements' was just too incredible, and she didn't dare to think in that direction at all.

Silent Soul Island, one of only two teleportation array outposts in the Netherworld.

Luo Ao and Amatis, two powerful beings at the Sovereign level, were standing in the teleportation array at this moment.

" Fire Divine Plane." Amatis casually took out a Sovereign token.

Even when the Sovereign use teleportation arrays, they generally do not reveal their true identities.

In a hazy glow, the teleportation array activated. At the moment of activation, a smile appeared on Luo Ao's face, and a smile also appeared on Amatis's face.

In the Fire Divine Plane, the two appeared together from a teleportation array outpost, then vanished instantly, leaving the taxi soldiers guarding the teleportation array completely bewildered.

" Luo Ao, let's have our sparring take place in a private Divine Plane that I've created myself. I don't want anyone else to know about this battle." Amatis, who resembled a red-haired lion-man, said as he led Luo Ao toward Golden Flame Mountain.

Golden Flame Mountain was his residence in the Fire Divine Plane, and also the entrance to his private Divine Plane.

"Oh, you don't want others to know? Amatis, you wouldn't be hiding your strength, would you?" Luo Ao looked somewhat surprised, but he didn't refuse the invitation.

Fighting in his private Divine Plane would be less likely to alert other Sovereign, which suited his purposes perfectly. How could he possibly refuse?

" Luo Ao, we just swore an oath in the name of the Overgod, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?" Only then did Amatis reveal his true colors.

Clearly, his strength is not as great as it appears to the outside world.

"With the oath of the Overgod, I naturally won't go back on my word. Then let me see the strength of you, Amatis." Luo Ao's face showed an angry look of being 'deceived,' but in reality, he knew what Amatis's trump card was.

"Hehe, don't worry, you'll see. But don't forget, no matter who wins or loses this battle, you must not reveal the opponent's strength to anyone." Amatis was now completely confident.

At the same time, he also glanced at the Water Element Sovereign in surprise.

Long before that battle ended, the two had already Soul Transmission and made a bet. On the way just now, they each swore an oath in the name of the Overgod, making the bet even more credible.

"No wonder Luo Ao was able to break through to the Paragon realm; it turns out he has that special talent... I happen to be a divine beast as well, able to sign Equal Contract with him... Since Liwa and the Sovereign of Death could both break through to the Paragon because of this, I, Amatis, might very well be able to do the same!"

Even after his breakthrough, he probably still wouldn't be a match for the current Sovereign of Death and Destruction Sovereign, but he would be completely comparable to the Life Sovereign, becoming one of the true 'Four Sovereign ' and surpassing the other seven Sovereign!

At the summit of Golden Flame Mountain, there is a mountain body decorated with various peculiar magic arrays. At this moment, a transparent 'gate' emitting strange fluctuations has appeared on this mountain body.

" Luo Ao, come in." Amatis flew to the front of the spatial gate and stepped to the other side in one step, with Luo Ao following closely behind.

Soon, the two disappeared directly from the Fire Divine Plane outside.

In their private Divine Plane, the two flew to the top of the highest mountain peak, each occupying half of the area.

" Luo Ao, if you want to win my Overgod Divine Artifact, then bring it on!" Even now, Amatis still believed that Luo Ao only wanted the Overgod Sword in his hand.

" Amatis." Luo Ao looked at the red-haired lion-man powerhouse and smiled helplessly, "You actually tricked me. But since the oath has been made, then—"

"Just go die!"

As Luo Ao's voice rang out, he was already holding a dark green whip in his hand.

Holding this Primordial Divine Weapon, Luo Ao did not hesitate to lash out with his whip at the Fire Element Sovereign ' Amatis ' before him, aiming directly at its head!

A massive amount of turquoise Water Sovereign Power surged forth instantly!

"Boom!"

The moment the dark green whip surged forth, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!

"Let me die? You think you can kill me!" Facing Luo Ao's preemptive attack, Amatis was somewhat taken aback, but his hands moved just as quickly, instantly drawing out a jade-green longsword, the Life Overgod Sword that he had recently acquired.

The emerald green longsword traced an Profound Mysteries path, deflecting the whip's attack.

"Boom!"

It was as if countless water worlds were being crushed down one after another.

"Pfft!" Amatis, who was already slightly caught off guard, was struck by the Life Overgod Sword, but the Overgod Sword was bounced back and hit him. Blood seeped from his body, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Whoosh~~~"

The space within a thousand miles completely collapsed, creating a terrifying crater, and Amatis himself was directly smashed into the Spatial Turbulence.

"Buzz~~" Because of this terrifying whip, the space within a thousand miles collapsed, and within a range of 100,000 miles, due to the spatial shockwave, even the high mountain beneath them was instantly reduced to dust, leaving not a trace.

"You're still alive? It seems you were indeed hiding your strength." Luo Ao locked onto his opponent with his divine sense and rushed directly into the collapsed spatial rift to continue his pursuit of Amatis.

In the chaotic void, multicolored Spatial Turbulence surged wildly.

"Impossible! How could Luo Ao be so strong?" Amatis couldn't believe it at all.

"I possess the Overgod Sword, and I also secretly obtained a Darkness Lower Sovereign Spark for my Dark Divine Clone to refine... My strength should definitely be the strongest below the three Great Sovereign!"

After that upheaval, many Sovereign perished, and their Sovereign Spark was also dissolved!

However, for some unknown reason, the Sovereign Spark were later restored to their original state, and he secretly obtained one of the Darkness Sovereign Spark, but he did not make it public.

With each Sovereign Divine Clone, the other avatars will also gain an extra Willpower.

Therefore, in fact, even without the Overgod Sword, his strength had already reached the level of Huerlei, the Lightning Element Sovereign.

With the Overgod Sword, his strength surpassed that of all Elemental Sovereign!

Although Luo Ao is also Sovereign has reached the Paragon of the Laws, he has only reached the Paragon of the Elemental Laws of Fire. His Water Element Sovereign clone will not receive much improvement as a result.

But after enduring that lash, he realized he was wrong! Utterly wrong!

"Impossible! How could he be this strong!" Fire Element Sovereign Amatis was completely stunned by Luo Ao's whip.

Even if they had caught him off guard, the power shouldn't have been this strong. The terrifying attacks, like layers upon layers of ocean waves crashing down, severely injured him the instant he received the blows!

"Damn it! He's catching up! This is a trap!" The red-haired lion-man, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, turned around—

The handsome young man with long black hair stared at him coldly, his gaze sharp as a sword.

Amidst the colorful Spatial Turbulence, Luo Ao, wielding a dark green whip, was rapidly rushing towards his location at an astonishing speed!

"You actually took the initiative to swear not to tell the other Sovereign, how thoughtful of you!" Because Amatis had been too clever for his own good, he had set many restrictions for this duel. Now, he had dug his own grave, leaving himself unable to call for help.

Of course, even if he could call for help, it wouldn't be in time.

"I used a huge favor to lure you into this trap, and you think you can just run away?" Although there was no real animosity between them, sometimes battles don't need so many reasons.

Amatis has his own agenda, and Luo Ao has his own schemes; it all comes down to whose methods are more sophisticated and whose strength is greater.

"Die!" Luo Ao's fighting spirit soared, and the Sovereign’s Might within him surged wildly.

"Boom!" Like a streak of Flowing Light, it instantly surpassed the other Spatial Turbulence and headed straight for Amatis!

Amatis was not slow in his escape, but unfortunately, Luo Ao was faster.

Paragon systems, he can switch between the Laws he uses at any time, and there are no obvious weaknesses in his combat.

" Luo Ao, you can have the Overgod Sword, just don't kill me!" Amatis had already sensed the killing intent emanating from Luo Ao and was filled with fear. He quickly transmitted his voice, " Luo Ao, I lost this bet, and I can give you the Overgod Sword. But if you kill me, you will be violating the rules established by the three masters, and you will die too!"

Luo Ao remained silent, but rushed over at top speed.

The rules among the Sovereign are also made by humans, and they are not Supreme Rule that can impose any constraints.

Even if you break the rules, you will only have to face the judgment of the three major Edict Sovereign.

Once Amatis is killed, his power will definitely experience a leap forward. Furthermore, the Sovereign of Death will be on his side then; who can judge him?

" Luo Ao-- " Amatis shouted hoarsely, but Luo Ao was too fast and had already reached him.

"You talk too much nonsense!"

The dark green whip in Luo Ao's hand resembled an ancient demonic dragon burning with flames, charging straight towards Amatis. Its unstoppable and world-destroying momentum instantly filled Amatis with immense fear.

Clearly, Luo Ao has switched to the Profound Mysteries of the Laws of the fire element this time, and his attack power is significantly stronger.

Amatis, without a word, let out a low roar, and the Life Overgod Sword in his hand ignited with mysterious golden flames as he slashed at the Fire Dragon.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a massive phantom appeared behind the Fire Element Sovereign. This phantom was a crimson-maned lion-like divine beast, thousands of meters long, with four sharp claws that looked like a ferocious killing machine.

What's most striking is the opponent's two dark golden beast eyes. At this moment, the pupils of both eyes turned red and ignited with fierce flames!

Divine Ability - Burning Silence!

"Useless!" Facing Amatis's innate Divine Ability, Luo Ao didn't care much at all. He let the two transparent golden flames descend on him. His soul defense was extremely strong and could not be shaken by Amatis's move.

Luo Ao paused for a moment, his dark green whip surging forward, colliding with the emerald green longsword once more.

"Boom!"

The surrounding Spatial Turbulence instantly exploded, creating countless spatial rifts. Amatis was thrown away at lightning speed, like a tattered sandbag, spitting out blood.

"As expected of the super divine beast ' Golden Flame Roar ', my ' Flame Dragon Break ' didn't even kill you directly."

Flame Dragon Break is one of Luo Ao's strongest moves in the field of Elemental Laws of Fire. He specifically used this move to complement a long whip-like Divine Artifact.

"To survive my attack, it seems you do indeed have another Sovereign Divine Clone." As he said this, Luo Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to prepare a Soul Attack technique.

Although Amatis's physical body is not as powerful as that of the Sovereign of Death and the others, it is still quite extraordinary. To kill him with a physical attack would probably require a longer fight.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, it would be more swift to use Soul Attack.

Severely wounded, Amatis glanced back at Luo Ao, who continued his charge, and roared in a ferocious, shrill voice, " Luo Ao, you'll regret this!"

Two consecutive encounters had made Amatis fully aware of the vast difference in strength between himself and his opponent. Even if he broke his oath to the Overgod and sought help from the other Sovereign, it would be too late. Therefore, he was now filled with despair and regret!

"Hiss--"

In a fleeting instant, a phantom, transparent fireball had already taken shape within Luo Ao's Soul Ocean.

Immediately afterwards, the transparent fireball pierced directly into Amatis's body at a speed that made it impossible to dodge.

The Overgod Sword is of no help in resisting attacks on the soul.

The illusory, transparent fireball easily crushed the opponent's Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, encountering almost no resistance, and directly entered Amatis's mind.

After rushing into the opponent's Soul Ocean, the transparent fireball first expanded rapidly, and then exploded instantly like a star that had accumulated countless amounts of heat!

This move was a unique technique he developed based on Bamer's ' Void Demonic Flame '!

While the Elemental Laws of Fire may not be as sophisticated as the three major laws in its detailed study of the soul, it is by no means inferior in its pure Soul Attack capabilities!

"Boom!"

Silently, a grand fireworks display bloomed in Amatis's Soul Ocean.

"You!"

Amatis's eyes still held disbelief, shock, and anger before he collapsed, the Overgod Sword falling to the ground.

Because he was Soul Annihilation, and because his Material Defense Sovereign Artifact was not destroyed in the battle, his body remained intact amidst the Spatial Turbulence. However, a crystalline, semi-transparent crystal floated out from his head, radiating streaks of crimson light.

This crystal is none other than the Fire High-level Sovereign Spark!
