Andrew leaped lightly out of the giant pit, gazing into the distance and thinking, "It seems my research on ' Taiji ' was correct. In just two hundred years, ' Shattering ' and ' Profound Mystery of Roundness ' have perfectly merged. This speed is much faster than I expected."
After two hundred years of secluded cultivation, at this moment, Andrew finally fully fused the Water Profound Mystery " Profound Mystery of Roundness " and the Fire Element "Mysteries Shattering," taking a solid step on the road to becoming an invincible powerhouse!
"From the time I found the point of convergence between these two Mysteries to the point of merging them to ninety percent, it only took me a hundred years. However, the final ten percent of fusion took me two hundred years. This was only with the help of Taiji Fist. Otherwise..."
Andrew sighed softly. Since his transmigration, he had hardly encountered any difficulties. From the Yulan Continent to the Infernal Realm, everything went smoothly, and his cultivation level soared all the way. In just over a thousand years, he had grown from a child into a peak powerhouse in countless planes. If word of this speed were to spread, it would definitely scare a large number of people to death.
Because of this experience, Andrew became very arrogant, thinking that everything was simple. However, after this period of seclusion, he gradually realized the difficulty of cultivation.
"The more I Fusion Profound Mysteries, the more difficult it becomes. Once I fully fuse the three profound Mysteries of lightning, fire, and Water Element, the difficulty of becoming Paragon expert will probably be countless times greater than that of Gaiseresen and the others!"
At that moment, Andrew actually regretted his decision.
Andrew's ability to achieve such success in such a short time is due to two factors: his extraordinary comprehension and his powerful soul force. However, according to the laws of cultivation, the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to Fusion Profound Mysteries. At that time, even if his ability to deduce Laws is a thousand times faster than others, his strength will be so great that the difficulty of breaking through will inevitably be many times greater.
By then, the advantage of soul power will likely be negated.
This is why, throughout countless years and countless planes, there has never been a dual-elemental Paragon powerhouse. This applies not only to gods but also to Sovereign. Many Sovereign are beings who existed at the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, such as the Sovereign of Destruction and the Sovereign of Death. Their talents are undeniably high, and their cultivation time is undeniably long, yet they have only achieved Paragon in their own Sovereign Divine Clone. The reason for this is ultimately because they are too powerful.
Because it is powerful, the resistance to breaking through is also great!
In the future, Andrew will face such a dilemma. Once he fully integrates the three profound Mysteries and becomes an invincible powerhouse comparable to the Paragon, the resistance he will face when he wants to break through to the Paragon in one of the systems will be unimaginably great.
However, there's no turning back now; things have already come to this, and there's no use in regretting it.
Shaking his head, Andrew saw Gaiseresen speeding towards him.
At this moment, Gaiseresen became somewhat agitated.
"Lord of the Manor, have you broken through?" Gaiseresen asked.
Andrew smiled and nodded, "Not bad, you've made some breakthroughs, and your strength has increased considerably."
Gaiseresen was overjoyed. "Great, congratulations. Lord, are you now confident in dealing with the Eight Great Clans?" His eyes were full of anticipation.
Andrew frowned. "I'm afraid that's not enough. Right now, I could kill the Nether Serpent even if I encountered him. But the enemy has eight Asura, and each of them possesses Sovereign Artifact... With that kind of strength, even if I faced them, I wouldn't be able to do anything."
The smile on Gaiseresen's face gradually cooled, and he soon regained his composure.
"I was too hasty." Gaiseresen chuckled self-deprecatingly. He naturally hoped that Andrew could become an invincible powerhouse like Beirut, but thinking about it, it was unlikely. How long had Andrew been cultivating?
Gaiseresen sighed, " The Eight Great Clans are pushing me too far; I can't stay calm anymore."
Andrew and Gaiseresen returned to their residence together, where Andrew listened attentively to his account of the war over the years.
Finally, Andrew couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The revenge of the Eight Great Clans is truly persistent, lasting for so many years." In fact, Andrew felt somewhat ashamed. He could guess that the Soul-Devouring Rod in his hand played a significant role in the reason why the Eight Great Clans acted this way.
In order to reclaim the Soul-Devouring Rod, the Nether Serpent will undoubtedly do everything in its power to incite the Eight Great Clans to take revenge.
However, it's impossible to get Andrew to hand over the Soul-Devouring Rod.
" Clan Leader Redding, what are your plans?" Andrew asked.
Gaiseresen said, "I don't have any other choice either. For the past two hundred years, I've suppressed the fighting spirit of my people, but I'm afraid I can't suppress it for much longer. If this continues, the decisive battle won't be far off..."
Andrew said, "If a decisive battle is necessary, it wouldn't be out of the question."
" Clan Leader Redding, I've made a slight breakthrough. I can now suppress two of the Eight Great Clans chiefs even when fighting alone. My subordinate Pusluo, possesses the strength of Asura. Although he lacks Sovereign Artifact, he can still hold off one clan chief. The Four Divine Beasts Clan should be able to handle the remaining five clan chiefs. It's fair to say that we've already taken the lead in terms of top-tier combat power!"
"In that case, why don't we have a fair and square battle with the Eight Great Clans? If we can suppress their eight patriarchs, we can force them to stop fighting. Even if we don't achieve that, it will at least make the Eight Great Clans restrain themselves and buy the Four Divine Beasts Clan more time."
Gaiseresen fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he said, "What the Lord said might be an opportunity. Alright, I'll go back and discuss it immediately. If everyone agrees, let's do it!"
Gaiseresen must have been incredibly frustrated, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so decisively.
After seeing Gaiseresen off, Andrew stopped thinking about it and took a few steps to appear in a garden.
" Andrew, you're back!" In the garden, Han Yue was carefully watering a flower when she suddenly saw Andrew, and the watering can fell to the ground.
Andrew gently hugged her. "Mmm."
Han Yue looked up and asked, "Did you break through this time?"
"A breakthrough has been achieved."
"Excellent! This makes the Eight Great Clans even less of a match for you."
Han Yue didn't say anything about Andrew joining the Four Divine Beasts Clan. However, she was still worried about Andrew's safety, after all, his opponents were behemoths like the Eight Great Clans. Having been in the Infernal Realm for hundreds of years, Han Yue had come to understand Infernal Realm cruelty more and more.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, the Eight Great Clans can't do anything to me. You've suffered a lot these past few days, staying in the Skyrite Mountains all day long. Aren't you getting a little impatient?" Andrew said softly as the two sat down on the chairs next to each other.
Han Yue smiled and said, "What's the big deal... The Skyrite Mountains is quite large, no smaller than the Yulan Continent. I've gotten used to planting flowers and grass here. By the way, Andrew, when do you think we can go back to the Yulan Continent for a visit? I wonder how my father is doing now."
A chubby figure appeared in Andrew's mind.
"I think my father-in-law should be alright. He's a Saint-level expert, and no one on the Yulan Continent can threaten him. Once we've dealt with the Four Divine Beasts Clan matters, we'll find some time to go back to the Yulan Continent for a visit."
Han Yue's smooth forehead furrowed slightly. " The Eight Great Clans are eyeing us covetously, and the affairs of the Four Divine Beasts Clan are not easy to handle."
"There's always a solution, so don't dwell on it..."
The two had not seen each other for two hundred years, and they had so much to say to each other.
Three days later, Andrew received a message from Gaiseresen, and he invited Pusluo to fly together towards the top of the Dragon Path. This time, Andrew sacrificed three drops of the Sovereign’s Might in order to get Pusluo to participate.
When the two arrived, they saw four clan leaders, including Gaiseresen, and the masked elder.
Andrew sat on the other side.
Clan Leader Redding, have you made your decision?
Gaiseresen glanced at the others and nodded emphatically. "This is an opportunity. If we can force the Eight Great Clans to withdraw from the Indigo Prefecture, that would be ideal."
Andrew said, "In that case, let's make a proper plan. We have seven Asura on our side, but Pusluo doesn't have Sovereign Artifact, so his strength is probably a bit weaker. As far as I know, among the patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans, the weakest is Deen from the Divine Earth Plane. Deen is skilled in material defense, and his Sovereign Artifact is Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact. With Pusluo's strength, holding him off shouldn't be a problem."
Pusluo grinned widely. "Of course! Hmph, if I had Sovereign Artifact, I'd smash it to pieces!"
As he said this, Pusluo was also a little unhappy. He believed that, setting aside external factors, Pusluo strength was no less than that of the four clan leaders.
"I've heard that the Planar War is still ongoing. I want to get my hands on a Sovereign Artifact if I get the chance!" Pusluo thought to himself.
Andrew continued, "The remaining seven—I'll handle the Nether Serpent and Barbary. Barbary doesn't have Defensive Sovereign Artifact, so I can still find a way to deal with him. The Nether Serpent is a bit more troublesome, but he's no match for me. As long as I can take down one of them, we'll win this final battle!"
Andrew's words were full of confidence, and this was not arrogance. After the battle with the Nether Serpent, Andrew realized his shortcomings and worked hard on the use of his soul power. Now, with the Soul-Devouring Rod in hand, his Soul Attack were no less powerful than those of Paragon expert!
Even the Nether Serpent couldn't withstand more than a few hits from such Soul Attack!
