The atmosphere on the field was somewhat suffocating, and the intense Battle-qi of not long ago had vanished.
Beirut's friendly smile vanished, his face darkened, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines, standing there motionless.
Even the usually arrogant Pusluo didn't dare to say much. He no longer had the Sovereign Artifact, nor did he have the right to be arrogant.
"Let the Eight Great Clans escape Infernal Realm? That's asking too much," Beirut said.
Andrew said, "In any case, the Eight Great Clans have been defeated, and they will have to pay a price." He glanced at Nether Serpent and the others, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.
Beirut turned to the Nether Serpent and asked, "What do you think?"
The Nether Serpent's eyes practically blazed with fury. "Lord Beirut, the Four Divine Beasts Clan are utterly arrogant, daring to defy you! We are willing to pay any price; please take action and teach them a lesson!"
Beirut shook his head. "As long as you don't disobey my orders, I won't get involved in your war. However, today's fighting has been enough."
The Four Divine Beasts Clan breathed a sigh of relief, while the Eight Great Clans were somewhat disappointed—a sentiment completely opposite to that of a thousand years ago.
"You two should draw up an agreement," Beirut commanded.
Andrew said, "Since it's Lord Beirut's request, our Four Divine Beasts Clan will naturally comply. Nether Serpent, you've already lost today's decisive battle. I'll decide the terms. You have no objections, right?"
The Nether Serpent and Edric exchanged glances and let out a cold snort.
"This war has lasted for a thousand years, and both sides have suffered considerable losses. My demand is that, starting today, the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans cease hostilities for a thousand years. During this thousand years, neither side shall take action. I ask Lord Beirut to witness this!" Andrew said after discussing with Gaiseresen.
"What about the Eight Great Clans?" Beirut asked.
The eight, including the Nether Serpent, quickly communicated through their divine senses. They all felt that a thousand years was not a long time and was not an unacceptable thing. Moreover, Barbary's strength had been greatly diminished and he needed time to recover.
"Alright, we agree!" the Nether Serpent announced loudly.
Beirut nodded slightly. "I will oversee the millennium agreement. If either party breaches it, I will personally intervene!"
"Yes!" Everyone shuddered at the thought of Beirut's actions.
This is the way a world-renowned battle ended, something no one expected.
The battle between fifteen Asura- level experts ended without a single death, leaving the onlookers somewhat disappointed. They had naturally hoped for a more intense fight.
After this battle, Andrew's fame began to spread throughout the four corners of the Infernal Realm, and through some powerful figures and Battle Projection, it reached other Divine Plane. Unlike the Asura Challenge, this time, Andrew truly ascended to the ranks of the top powerhouses, becoming one of the strongest below the Paragon level, alongside Leisjing and others.
His ability to suppress two top-tier Asura, the Nether Serpent and Barbary, single-handedly became a topic of much discussion. Meanwhile, the two well-established Asura, the Nether Serpent and Barbary, became stepping stones for Andrew.
From then on, when people talked about the top powerhouses in various planes, they would inevitably mention Andrew.
After the decisive battle, the Skyrite Mountains held an unprecedented celebration. During the three-day celebration, countless people got drunk and unconscious.
Caught up in the atmosphere, Andrew relaxed considerably. Seeing the satisfied expressions on the faces of the Four Divine Beasts Clan members, he couldn't help but feel much more at ease.
Han Yue leaned against him, holding his hand.
" Andrew, will this war end like this?" Han Yue asked.
Andrew said, "Not for now, but that might not be the case a thousand years from now."
A thousand years is nothing to many powerful beings. People like Gaiseresen have lived for countless billions of years. But for Andrew, it is an incredibly long and abundant time. He is confident that with a thousand years, he will be able to fuse " Profound Mystery of Roundness " and "Explosion." At that time, his Three-element Soul Mutation, fusing with three different Laws, Mysteries Andrew's strength will increase tenfold, or even dozens of times!
With such strength, which of the Eight Great Clans could stop him?
"If only there were no war!" Han Yue sighed, sensing the completely different atmosphere of the Skyrite Mountains compared to before.
Two months after the war ended, Andrew and Han Yue quietly left the Skyrite Mountains. This time, the two headed south.
" Andrew, are you sure you don't need to cultivate?" Han Yue seemed very happy in the Metallic Lifeform.
Andrew with some guilt, " Yue'er, I've wronged you all these past few hundred years. I told you before that I would take you to countless planes, but I haven't been able to do so yet."
Han Yue was very understanding. "You've sacrificed enough for the family. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't be able to move an inch in the Infernal Realm."
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's take this opportunity to explore the Blood Peak Continent." Andrew held Han Yue's hand, feeling a sense of satisfaction beyond just his improved strength.
With Andrew by her side, Han Yue had an unprecedentedly enjoyable time. In every city they visited, she would drag Andrew around and explore it thoroughly. Andrew showed no impatience and cooperated fully, shopping and strolling with Han Yue. He even had the illusion that he had returned to Earth and become an ordinary person in love again.
" Andrew, look at this dress..." Han Yue gestured.
"It's so beautiful... I'll buy it." Andrew said without hesitation.
" Andrew, look at this necklace..."
"It's beautiful, I'll buy it!"
The longer the two shopped around, the more items appeared in the Han Yue spatial ring. Of course, these were nothing special; with Andrew's strength and status, he was capable of buying anything for his family.
Andrew also bought quite a few things, such as high-level Death Puppet, Metallic Lifeform, and some rather peculiar artifacts. He also bought many treasures that were beneficial to soul growth, such as the Water of Life from the Celestial Realm and the Nine Nether Fruit from the Netherworld. Although these treasures were nothing compared to Soul Stone, they were not something that could be bought at will.
"The mysteries of the soul are truly fascinating!"
In the story of "Metallic Lifeform, "Andrew closed a thick book and sighed softly.
Three hundred years had passed. During those three hundred years, Andrew and Han Yue had traveled all over the Blood Peak Continent, and then toured the Muya Continent. Afterwards, the two headed east towards the Bifu Continent. The Bifu Continent was located at the easternmost point of the entire Infernal Realm, not close to the Blood Peak Continent.
Having traveled to so many places, Andrew would always collect some secret manuals and information on soul cultivation wherever he went. Fortunately, this was Infernal Realm, Infernal Realm there were still many powerful individuals cultivating their souls. After slowly reading through these materials, Andrew's understanding of the soul greatly increased.
"Although my soul power was strong before, I couldn't control much of it accurately. For example, when using the Sovereign’s Might, I could usually control it perfectly, but once a battle distracted me, the Sovereign’s Might would dissipate."
Andrew knew very well that his soul power was comparable to that of Paragon, but he was far less Paragon and free in its application.
Andrew stretched out his hand, and a gray object appeared in his palm. It was about an inch long and looked somewhat like a leech. If other powerful individuals saw it, they would be astonished... because this was the Soul Leech, feared by countless people!
"With my current level of soul cultivation, the Soul Leech I create are enough to control ordinary Seven-Star Fiend."
Andrew clenched his fist, Soul Leech vanished.
The creation of Soul Leech was the result of his research. Across the eleven Divine Plane, there were many who could create Soul Leech, each a powerful figure in the realm of the soul. However, few Soul Leech could control Seven-Star Fiend. Many Seven-Star Fiend could also create Soul Leech, but their Soul Leech were not very strong, making them somewhat ineffective at controlling opponents of the same level.
Andrew's Soul Leech are different. Created with his soul power, they are absolutely fatal to any Seven-Star Fiend except for those with extremely high soul cultivation.
Besides creating Soul Leech, Andrew's other achievement was forging Soul Defense Divine Artifact!
Of the three divine artifacts, the Soul Defense Divine Artifact is the most unique. It is not made of any material, but rather of soul power: soul power can be so strong that it can be solidified through a certain method and nurtured for a long time before the Soul Defense Divine Artifact can be forged.
In the Infernal Realm, there are only a handful of people capable of forging Soul Defense Divine Artifact. Even among the powerful Four Divine Beasts Clan, only the Vermilion Bird Clan Leader is capable of doing so.
At this moment, in Andrew's Elemental Sea, a golden ring floated above the head of the Golden Dragon's soul; this was the Soul Defense Divine Artifact he had crafted.
"It should be completed in another five hundred years," Andrew estimated.
The creation of Soul Leech and the forging of soul rings demonstrate that Andrew's mastery of soul techniques has improved dramatically.
"Boom..."
Just as the Metallic Lifeform was about to leave Blood Peak Continent and enter the Star Mist Sea, Andrew's Metallic Lifeform was intercepted.
" Andrew, what's wrong?" Han Yue walked over quickly.
Andrew scanned the area with his divine sense and was quite surprised. At this moment, a large number of people were standing around his Metallic Lifeform. These people were all wearing blood-red armor, and their killing intent was also very strong.
Bloodridge Army warriors!
"Interesting... So it was Youyindier. He actually sent the Bloodridge Army to stop me."
