"Stop right there!" Seeing the Metallic Lifeform rapidly approaching him, Andrew spread his five fingers and grabbed hard. A giant hand formed from Water Element Divine Power crushed the Metallic Lifeform, crushing all the hundreds of elves inside. None of them escaped, and the scene was extremely shocking.
Dozens of Metallic Lifeform immediately fanned out, surrounding Andrew. Inside the Metallic Lifeform, more than two thousand elven warriors instantly formed ten square formations in the void.
At the very front of the formation stood an old man in a gray robe with a very grim expression, emanating a terrifying aura.
This man was none other than Chabu, an elder of the Edric Clan and an elf. Although Chabu looked old, he was extremely powerful, possessing the strength of Asura, and was second only to the patriarch Edric in the Edric Clan.
"Lord of the Bloodflame Prefecture!" As a high-ranking member of Eight Great Clans, Chabu naturally recognized Andrew. A hundred years ago, Andrew successfully challenged the Lord of the Mansion, causing a huge sensation. Chabu had also seen the Floating Shadow of that battle.
"Could he really be related to the Four Divine Beasts Clan?" A shadow fell over Chabu's mind. He recalled that Andrew had used the Dragonform skill during the Asura Challenge. At that time, the Eight Great Clans had discussed whether Andrew had the Azure Dragon Bloodline, but it was later discovered that Andrew did not return to the Four Divine Beasts Clan with the White Tiger Clan Leader. Therefore, this question was put aside by everyone.
Chabu never expected to run into Andrew outside the Skyrite Mountains.
Andrew stood calmly in the void, as if the two thousand Highgod opposite him did not exist.
"Lord of the Bloodflame Prefecture, Andrew!" Chabu stepped forward and said coldly.
Andrew nodded. "That's right, you're an elder of the Edric Clan, aren't you?"
Chabu's imposing aura intensified. "Elder Chabu Andrew of the Edric Clan, why are you attacking my Edric Clan?"
Andrew's lips curled into a smile, completely unfazed by the other's intimidating aura. " Chabu, your Edric Clan actually dared to chase after me, you've got some nerve. I was merely giving you a slight punishment just now."
Chabu's wrinkled face flushed red, and his narrow eyes flashed with a sharp glint.
"You killed a hundred of my clan's warriors with a mere punishment, Bloodflame Prefecture Lord, you are indeed impressive. However, the people of my Edric Clan are not so easily provoked, even if you are the lord!" Behind him, two thousand elven warriors stepped forward in unison, creating immense pressure.
Andrew waved his hand. "Enough with the threats. Bring on whatever tricks you have. Your Eight Great Clans are quite domineering, actually blocking off the Skyrite Mountains... No matter how you block it, no matter what grudges you have with the Four Divine Beasts Clan, anyone who dares to block my path will have to bear my wrath. Come on, let me see your strength. You are indeed Asura powerhouse, you should be able to give me some fun."
Andrew's words were arrogant, but he had the right to be arrogant. After a century of secluded cultivation, Andrew's strength had almost reached the pinnacle of the Commander level. Let alone Elder Chabu of the Edric Clan, even if Leisjing and Mosi were here, Andrew was confident he could fight them.
"Hahaha, how dare you!" Chabu roared, his anger boiling over. As the second-in-command of the Edric Clan, he was not afraid of Andrew. In his opinion, Andrew was strong, but could he be stronger than the patriarch Edric? You must know that Edric not only fused the five Mysteries of the Fate Law, but also possessed Sovereign Artifact. This strength already surpassed that of many Asura.
With such a powerful figure as his backer, and given that Chabu himself possesses Asura strength, why would he be afraid of a newly appointed prefect?
"Lord of the Bloodflame Prefecture, today I'll show you the might of my Edric Clan!" Chabu roared, charging towards Andrew. Behind him, dozens of slender, green willow branches formed from Divine Power stretched out towards Andrew.
Andrew did not dodge, and threw a punch, sending spatial ripples rushing towards Chabu. Half of the willow branches disappeared under the shock of the spatial turbulence.
"A true master of the Life Law, with incredible resilience!"
Andrew inwardly praised Chabu, whose strength was indeed extraordinary, as he was able to block spatial fluctuations with Divine Power.
"Splash..."
Unaffected by Andrew's punch, Chabu rushed in front of him. His withered hands struck out fiercely, grabbing at Andrew, and the powerful Divine Power actually tore through space.
"Bang!"
Andrew swept his right arm across, blocking Chabu's palm. With his Divine Spark physique and near-perfect fusion of Mysteries three elements, his sweeping attack was no less powerful than a full-force strike from Asura expert.
"What incredible strength!" The moment Chabu's hand touched Andrew's right arm, he felt an irresistible force surge through him, and his hands went numb for a moment. Chabu immediately realized that he had seriously underestimated his opponent, and using the force, he rushed in the opposite direction.
"Trying to leave?" Andrew chuckled, flicking his right hand to grab Chabu's left wrist. To Chabu's astonishment, Andrew squeezed hard, crushing the man's left hand with sheer physical strength.
"Drink!"
Chabu, who lost his left hand in a single move, was shocked. He never expected that a Asura who had only risen to power a hundred years ago would possess such strength. However, Chabu was also Asura himself. Despite losing his left hand, he quickly used his right hand to seal Andrew's palm. At the same time, his aura surged, and countless slender willow branches surrounded Andrew. This time, the willow branches were dozens of times stronger than before, each one incredibly resilient, so powerful that it caused the space itself to tremble.
To save his life, Chabu used the Sovereign’s Might.
Andrew paid no heed, letting the willow branches bind him. He knew this was Chabu's signature move, the Dance of Life. In the original book, he had used this move to trap Pusluo.
Trapped by the Dance of Life, Andrew realized that he seemed to be bound by some force, and his speed had decreased by dozens of times.
"Even Pusluo couldn't do anything to me, yet you think you can trap me?" Andrew sneered disdainfully. His divine Divine Power surged, and a powerful force burst forth from within, shattering half of Chabu's Dance of Life.
"Too strong... even stronger than the clan leader!"
Seeing that his ultimate move couldn't even hold his opponent for a moment, Chabu could no longer remain calm. He had used the Sovereign’s Might, yet his ultimate move was easily broken by his opponent. Just what kind of strength did this person possess? Chabu couldn't help but wonder.
At this moment, Chabu had no will to fight anymore. To fight such a powerful opponent was simply courting death. In his haste, Chabu suddenly recalled the scene of Beirut sweeping through the Eight Great Clans.
"Run... run!"
Faced with Andrew's overwhelming power, Chabu made a decisive move. Taking advantage of the fact that the Dance of Life had not been completely destroyed and that the Sovereign’s Might still had more than half of its strength, Chabu changed direction and flew out as a streak of green light.
At the same time, the other members of the Edric Clan also received a telepathic message from Chabu, and they re-entered their Metallic Lifeform and scattered.
"You run pretty fast... Normally, I wouldn't bother chasing you, but since I'm visiting the Four Divine Beasts Clan today, it's always good to have a gift... I still need someone's help!" Without thinking, Andrew chased after Chabu. He knew Chabu's status among the Eight Great Clans, so of course he wouldn't let him escape.
"Huff... huff..."
In just a few breaths, Andrew caught up to within two kilometers of Chabu.
"Oh no!" Under the pressure of life and death, Chabu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, especially when he turned around and saw Andrew rapidly approaching him, he was on the verge of collapse.
" Andrew, are you going to fight us Eight Great Clans to the death?" Chabu roared as he fled, trying to use the reputation of the Eight Great Clans to force Andrew to back down.
Andrew strolled along as if taking a leisurely walk, each step covering thousands of meters.
"So what if they're the Eight Great Clans? In my eyes, they're nothing but chickens and dogs. You're just unlucky to have met me today..." Before he could finish speaking, he was already above Chabu.
"Stop right there!" Andrew stretched out his hand, and a spherical cage enveloped Chabu. Outside the cage were a dozen dark green bars, these bars, formed from Divine Power, tightly locked Chabu in place.
A glint of madness flashed in Chabu's eyes.
"Trying to capture me? Dream on!" In his rage, Chabu unleashed the remaining Sovereign’s Might without hesitation. Under the powerful impact of the Sovereign’s Might, the spherical cage Shattering instantly.
Shaking his head inwardly, Andrew felt a pang of regret; his fusion of profound Mysteries was still not perfect. If the three elements of Mysteries had been perfectly fused, the cage would never have been so easily broken apart.
Having broken free of his cage, Chabu suddenly stopped, ceasing his escape. He knew he was in dire straits. Even using the Sovereign’s Might, he couldn't escape; how much more so now that the Sovereign’s Might was exhausted?
However, Chabu did not give up hope of survival.
"Your Highness, the Edric Clan has been very offensive in the past, please forgive them..."
Andrew interrupted him impatiently, "Forget it, I won't forgive you for this. Don't think that just because it's the Edric Clan, or even if Eight Great Clans came together, your fate wouldn't change."
"You!" Chabu's eyes widened in anger, and the muscles in his face twitched.
