The usually composed Black Tortoise Clan Leader watched for a while, then couldn't help but say, "Brother, in my opinion, this manor lord's strength lies not only in his speed..."
Both Gaiseresen and the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader looked at him.
The Black Tortoise Clan Leader stared at Andrew and said, "Fourth Brother's physical attacks are extremely powerful. Even without Sovereign Artifact, his tiger claws are no less powerful than any Highgod Artifact. However, as you can see, even though the Lord of the Manor doesn't have Material Defense Artifact, Fourth Brother can't harm him."
As the Black Tortoise Clan Leader, who possesses the strongest physical defense among the Four Divine Beasts, he has an exceptionally keen eye and immediately recognized Andrew's powerful physical strength.
really!
Gaiseresen and the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader quickly discovered that Andrew not only had the advantage in strength during his head-on clash with the White Tiger Clan Leader, but his physical defense was also superior.
Before the two could speak, the White Tiger Clan Leader intensified his attack.
"Splash!"
A massive tiger claw swept through the air, tearing a gaping hole in the otherwise solid space as if it were made of cloth. At the point where space Shattering, Spatial Turbulence surged and churned.
This was the first time uncontrollable power had appeared during their exchange.
Seeing this, Andrew's expression remained unchanged, but his concentration increased considerably. The main reason he sparred with the White Tiger Clan Leader was to understand his current strength. In his mind, the White Tiger Clan Leader was no match for him, but this did not mean that he underestimated the other's strength.
"Call out!"
A series of rapid sounds rang out as hundreds of cyan arrows shot towards the White Tiger Clan Leader. Where the arrows passed, space distorted. Countless tiger shadows vanished rapidly beneath the arrows, and even the White Tiger Clan Leader's true form was struck by one of them.
"Boom!"
After hitting the White Tiger Clan Leader, the arrow immediately exploded. The powerful destructive force caused the White Tiger Clan Leader to pause, then fly two hundred meters away, with some bloodstains on his shoulder.
"How could this happen?" The White Tiger Clan Leader landed on the ground, staring blankly at the wound on his shoulder.
Gaiseresen and the other two were also stunned. They could see clearly that those arrows were merely the condensation of Andrew's Divine Power, not powerful divine artifacts. However, what they couldn't understand was why arrows condensed from Divine Power could wound the White Tiger.
Although the White Tiger Clan Leader is not skilled in physical defense, as the son of the Divine Beast White Tiger, his physical body has long reached the level of Highgod Artifact, and he can be absolutely harmed without a powerful attack.
"Brother, do you think the Lord of the Clan used the Sovereign’s Might?" The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader was the calmest and quickly grasped the crux of the matter. "An arrow condensed from the Highgod Power could not possibly harm Fourth Brother!"
Gaiseresen said in a deep voice, "No. If he really used the Sovereign’s Might, he definitely wouldn't be able to hide it from us, unless he's at the Paragon."
The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader nodded in agreement. Apart from those at the Paragon and the Sovereign, anyone else using the Sovereign’s Might would inevitably experience energy dissipation. As the children of the Sovereign, they were all too familiar with the energy dissipation of the Sovereign’s Might.
"Then what...?"
Gaiseresen's eyes lit up. "Besides the Sovereign’s Might, there's only one possibility. Second Sister, didn't you just sense the Fire Element Divine Power contained in those arrows?"
The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader immediately understood. "Brother, you mean Fused Divine Power?"
"Indeed, his Divine Power contains several elements: Water Element, Fire Element, and Lightning Element!"
Gaiseresen stated confidently, as a powerful Asura expert, he was certain of these things.
"Three elements... the fusion of three elements of Divine Power, could it be that this Lord of the Palace has Three-element Soul Mutation?" The Vermilion Bird Clan Leader and the Black Tortoise Clan Leader exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.
Gaiseresen nodded slowly, letting out a long sigh, "There's only one possibility. Now I finally understand why he was able to become Asura powerhouse in less than a thousand years. Soul Mutation User are the darlings of heaven and earth, and he not only has Soul Mutation, but also Three-element Soul Mutation!"
Even the usually composed Black Tortoise Clan Leader trembled in shock. "This, this is too unbelievable! To fuse with the Azure Dragon Essence Blood and mutate into a true Divine Beast, and to have a soul with Three-element Mutation —how could such a person exist in the world?"
The three fell silent for a moment, all thinking, "Yes, how could there be such a person?" The Four Divine Beasts Clan had been established for countless years, and as children of the Sovereign, they had seen all sorts of people, including many peerless geniuses, some of whom had even achieved the Paragon. However, they were certain that they had never seen anyone like Andrew.
"He's so lucky!" the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader long silence.
This statement was agreed upon by Gaiseresen and the Black Tortoise Clan Leader.
It's truly fortunate. Bloodline mutation is one thing, but Three-element Soul Mutation is almost unheard of; there's only one such case across countless planes to date...
The White Tiger Clan Leader was astonished by Andrew's Fused Divine Power, but quickly understood. Compared to Gaiseresen, he, who faced Andrew's attack directly, learned the secret of Fused Divine Power much earlier. However, even so, the White Tiger Clan Leader did not give up. He roared, and a two-meter-long greatsword appeared in his hand.
Sensing the aura of the greatsword, Andrew's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that it was the White Tiger's Sovereign Artifact.
When the White Tiger Clan Leader took out the Sovereign Artifact, Gaiseresen and the other two were somewhat surprised. It seemed that the White Tiger Clan Leader was going to use his full strength.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The White Tiger Clan Leader gave a reminder, Shattering space with his longsword, slashing down diagonally. The pale blue Wind Divine Power on the blade was incredibly sharp and indestructible.
Seeing him take out the Sovereign Artifact, Andrew dared not be careless. He pushed off with his feet and moved his body a hundred meters away. At the same time, his arms quickly Dragonform, and golden dragon scales shone brightly.
"So fast!" Before he could catch his breath, the White Tiger Clan Leader's longsword followed closely behind. The sword's momentum was unmatched, and even before it reached him, Andrew felt a sense of oppression. Under this pressure, Andrew's speed actually decreased slightly, which surprised him.
"This is the Wind Element Mysteries realm of Wind Space. No wonder he's a veteran Asura powerhouse; this strike incorporates at least seven Mysteries..."
Seeing the White Tiger Clan Leader's ultimate move, Andrew couldn't resist the urge to Fused Divine Power. He quickly condensed his fused divine power, and a deep cyan fist flew out to meet the longsword. This punch was not an ultimate move, but it was even better than one, containing the profound Mysteries of the three different elements he had fused, as well as fused Sovereign’s Might Fused Divine Power comparable to that of a main god.
Before everyone's eyes, a blade that Shattering space and a fist that distorted space collided.
"Boom..."
A violent aura spread out from the two of them, and the powerful shockwaves crushed mountains several miles away into dust, creating a black hole several meters in diameter. Andrew and the White Tiger Clan Leader, who were at the edge of the black hole, immediately fled to avoid being swept away by the Spatial Turbulence.
Retreating a mile away, Andrew was somewhat alarmed; the White Tiger Clan Leader's strike had exceeded his expectations. Dragon scales on his arms Shattering, and golden blood flowed out.
" Sovereign Artifact is indeed Sovereign Artifact... the defense of my dragon scales is still quite lacking."
However, Andrew did not lose confidence. He had not fully Dragonform, and the defense of his dragon scales was not at its strongest. Even so, the White Tiger Clan Leader Sovereign Artifact, only managed to sever his dragon scales without injuring his bones and muscles. This shows that Andrew's physical defense is now much stronger than before.
Andrew was surprised, but little did he know that the White Tiger Clan Leader was even more astonished. Watching Andrew's dragon scales rapidly repair themselves, the White Tiger Clan Leader felt a sense of defeat. Up to now, aside from his Innate Divine Ability and the Sovereign’s Might, the White Tiger Clan Leader had used every means at his disposal, yet he still couldn't defeat his opponent.
He knew perfectly well that Andrew's methods didn't stop there; he possessed the ability to Offensive Sovereign Artifact! He had only managed to fight 5-5 against Andrew when the latter was unarmed; if Andrew used the Sovereign Artifact, wouldn't he be completely powerless?
This speculation somewhat discouraged the White Tiger Clan Leader.
"Alright, let's end the competition here for today."
Knowing the White Tiger Clan Leader's strength, Gaiseresen stepped forward and said, "Everyone here is a master. It's obvious who will win and who will lose. We're not enemies, so there's no need to continue fighting."
Andrew nodded in agreement. This competition served two purposes: first, to demonstrate his strength to Gaiseresen and the others, and second, to see the gap between himself and a top-tier Asura. Now that both objectives had been achieved, Andrew didn't want to fight anymore.
"It seems I overestimated my strength." Andrew thought to himself as he watched the White Tiger Clan Leader Sovereign Artifact. Taking the White Tiger Clan Leader as a reference, the strength of the patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans was roughly equal to his. In a one-on-one situation, he could kill one by using all his means; in a two-on-one situation, he could remain undefeated but would not be able to win; and in a three-on-one situation, he would have no choice but to run away.
This still takes into account innate Innate Divine Ability.
Shaking his head, Andrew understood. No top-tier Asura should be underestimated. His soul and physical strength were powerful enough, but he lagged behind his opponents in terms of profound Mysteries. Based on the strength displayed by the White Tiger, he should have fused seven types of Wind Element Mysteries. And the patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans had each fused five types of Mysteries.
"Previously, I thought that by fusing ' Profound Mystery of Roundness ' with 'Explosion' and ' Shattering ' to 90%, the power of these three Mysteries would be comparable to five Mysteries of the same element. Now I realize I was wrong. In the fusion of Mysteries, 90% and perfect fusion seem similar, but their power differs greatly. If I could perfectly fuse these three Mysteries now, my strength would probably increase dozens of times!"
While feeling disappointed, Andrew also felt a sense of anticipation, hoping to completely integrate the three profound Mysteries. At that time, he feared he could truly be like Beirut, sweeping through the Eight Great Clans single-handedly with his sword and ending the war once and for all.
