" Divine Beast? Innate Divine Ability?"
The moment the phantom appeared, Andrew instantly realized that this Kepulang was no ordinary human.
From within the black clouds of smoke, a gigantic snake head appeared. Its head was covered in dense, dark scales, giving it an oppressive aura. Its mouth was tightly shut, and most astonishingly, each of its enormous eyes contained three pupils. The gray pupils were arranged in a triangle, eerie, mysterious, cold, and ruthless...
A pair of eyes, six pupils— Divine Beast from the Infernal Realm, the Six-Pupiled Serpent!
The six pupils of the Six-Pupiled Serpent suddenly became glazed, emitting a strange power. At this moment, the entire body of the Six-Pupiled Serpent- Six-Pupiled Serpent serpent was revealed, more than ten thousand meters long, with enormous wings, and its curved body covered a patch of sky.
" Innate Divine Ability: Soul Banishment!"
Two gray orbs of light shot out from the Six-Pupiled Serpent's pupils and instantly landed on Andrew. Although the Golden Dragon was fast, it couldn't react in time and was hit directly.
This is Innate Divine Ability; once unleashed, it is almost impossible to dodge and can only be taken head-on.
Within Andrew's sea of consciousness, above the endless Elemental Sea, the Golden Dragon's soul stood ready. Around him, transparent, scale-like membranes rose up—the power of the Azure Dragon Ring, the Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact. Unfortunately, these membranes had a significant gap.
"Huff... huff..."
A chaotic force invaded his Elemental Sea. As soon as it entered, it violently struck the transparent membrane. The speed was so fast that Andrew did not even have time to react.
"Such powerful force..." The transparent film was dented by the impact, but it did not Shattering.
"This power is indeed strong, but it's too scattered and cannot be concentrated, making it impossible to break through the Azure Dragon Ring. No wonder, the Azure Dragon Ring is Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact. Unless the opponent is lucky enough to attack a broken part of the Azure Dragon Ring, even if Paragon uses their innate attack, the Azure Dragon Ring can block it." The Golden Dragon soul coldly watched the clash between the Six-Pupiled Serpent's Soul Attack and the Azure Dragon Ring, gaining a new understanding of Kepulang's Innate Divine Ability.
"Not only is the power scattered, Innate Divine Ability abilities also lack sentience, failing to automatically find the gap in the Azure Dragon Ring."
The attack from the Innate Divine Ability came quickly and went quickly. The chaotic power and the Azure Dragon Ring were locked in a stalemate for a while before completely dissipating, and Andrew's Elemental Sea returned to calm.
"It's no use?" Kepulang looked at the charging Golden Dragon, utterly despairing.
His physical body was unbelievably powerful, and his soul was not afraid of his innate Innate Divine Ability. How could he possibly win against such a powerful opponent? In despair, Kepulang's face turned ashen, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
But the battle continues!
Having withstood the opponent's Innate Divine Ability, Andrew's flight speed suddenly increased, and the huge and tough dragon claw grabbed Kepulang.
Squeeze tight...
"Bang!" Kepulang's body was completely destroyed; only two Divine Spark and a spatial ring remained in the dragon's claw.
"What a tough opponent... But this is what makes the battle interesting!" Andrew felt very satisfied as he put away his Divine Spark and spatial ring. He had used every trick in the book in this battle, even using one of his three drops of Sovereign’s Might. Moreover, this was the first time he had fought in his true form.
Despite the arduous battle and the depletion of the Sovereign’s Might, Andrew was overjoyed. Wasn't his effort to improve his strength precisely so that he could face off against such a powerful opponent?
Compared to Kepulang, the remaining Highgod of the Silinman Clan were insignificant. Taking advantage of the Water Sovereign Power, Andrew activated his Light of Innate Divine Ability and unleashed his Innate Divine Ability on the remaining Highgod.
"Roar..." The long, drawn-out Dragon Roar of the Golden Dragon resounded. Beneath the Golden Dragon's phantom, more than two hundred Highgod fell one by one, like a field of harvested weeds. Several Highgod were quick to react and tried to escape when Kepulang was at a disadvantage, but unfortunately, their speed was far inferior to Andrew's, and they were eventually caught up and killed by Andrew.
Having defeated all the enemies, the Water Sovereign Power was also exhausted.
The battlefield quickly fell silent. Under the blood-red sun, the surroundings were a scene of devastation, littered with Shattering corpses. The small hills that once stood there were now gone. The stench of blood carried far on the wind.
" The Silinman Clan..." Andrew regained his human form, Fused Divine Power to condense into a robe outside his body.
After collecting his spoils and retrieving his Metallic Lifeform, Andrew continued eastward. This battle had greatly boosted his confidence for the journey. This time, he planned to venture deep into the Amethyst Mountains, for only there could he easily collect Amethyst.
Metallic Lifeform shaped like Golden Dragon streaked across the sky like a streak of light, flying swiftly. Andrew leaned back in his chair, reflecting on the battle just now, and felt more prepared for the journey ahead.
" The Silinman Clan sent people to hunt me down, and this won't be the only one. I only killed one team of their Highgod guards before, and they were still relentless. This time, I killed a Seven-Star Fiend, making the enmity even greater... Given the nature of large families, the follow-up pursuit will definitely continue."
Andrew weighed the power disparity between himself and his opponent, and felt no fear.
"At their peak, the Four Divine Beasts Clan had no more than two hundred elders at the Seven-Star Fiend level. Even so, they were among the top families in countless planes, demonstrating the rarity of Seven-Star Fiend. The Mosi Clan of Miluo Island only had a few dozen Seven-Star Fiend, yet they were able to dominate Miluo Island for countless years. The Silinman Clan dominated Kunsha Prefecture, but in the entire Infernal Realm, their power was absolutely no match for the Mosi Clan."
"A powerhouse with the strength of Seven-Star Fiend is no longer much of a threat to me. As long as I'm not surrounded by multiple Seven-Star Fiend, I can escape even if I can't win. I just don't know what the strength of the strongest member of the Silinman Clan is. If he has the strength of Asura, then I'm in danger."
Andrew currently ranked quite high among the Seven-Star Fiend, but he has no confidence whatsoever against Asura.
Asura are the pinnacle of the Highgod, numbering only a little over a hundred in the entire Infernal Realm. Even if you include the hidden powerhouses, the total number over countless years wouldn't exceed three hundred. On the other hand, there are at least a million Seven-Star Fiend in the Infernal Realm.
Although both are Highgod, any Asura could easily kill an ordinary Seven-Star Fiend, Andrew was confident that he could face any Seven-Star Fiend. However, against Asura, his strength was not enough.
"Unless my Fire Element and Lightning Divine Clone can fuse the four Mysteries, I won't even have the strength to protect myself in front of Asura powerhouse."
Andrew realized that once one of his Divine Clone fused with the four profound Mysteries, he would be able to leverage his advantages as a super Divine Beast, whether in attack or defense. At that time, even without Fused Divine Power, his physical strength, second only to that of Divine Spark, would be enough to destroy Highgod Artifact with a single strike.
With the amplification of Fused Divine Power, his attacks could reach the level of Asura.
"Or perhaps I could break through in both lightning and fire elements and become Highgod... By relying on the Fused Divine Power, I could rival Asura."
In this regard, Andrew hesitated. His goal was to become Paragon High-God, but to achieve Paragon, Mysteries must fully comprehend and integrate all the profound mysteries of a system's Laws, making them perfectly integrated without any flaws. However, becoming Paragon High-God was extremely difficult, and even he lacked the confidence to achieve it.
Indeed, to achieve Paragon, one needs not only talent but also opportunity.
"Across countless planes and countless years, there are only a little over thirty Paragon. Even if some go into seclusion, the number would never exceed fifty. Fifty! The Sovereign has seventy-seven. The number of Paragon cultivators is even less than that of the Sovereign."
Andrew had long yearned to be Paragon High-God. Profound Mysteries perfect, possessing the Willpower, capable of Shattering space with a casual strike, truly standing at the pinnacle of godhood. Even the highest-ranking Sovereign would show respect to those at the Paragon!
Andrew, who was familiar with the original book, naturally knew that the lower Fusion Profound Mysteries the profound Mysteries at the Midgod stage, find the points of convergence of all the Mysteries, and gradually comprehend and integrate them, so as to achieve perfection in one fell swoop, become Highgod, and reach the Paragon.
This method offers the greatest chance of achieving Paragon, but it also tests one's patience.
While Fusion Profound Mysteries mysteries is relatively easy at the Midgod stage, comprehending the Laws is also difficult due to weaker soul power compared to Highgod. Moreover, once trapped in a bottleneck, one may be unable to make any progress for countless years, remaining merely an Midgod. In the endless slaughter of the Infernal Realm, an Midgod is extremely dangerous.
Compared to others, Andrew had a significant advantage. First, his soul power was strong enough to rival that of Highgod; second, his physical strength was also formidable, ensuring his self-preservation. Yet, even so, Andrew lacked the strong resolve to pursue this path.
" The Four Divine Beasts Clan retreated to the Infernal Realm not long ago, and are currently engaged in fierce battles with the Eight Great Clans. I have received the legacy of the Azure Dragon, so naturally I must help the Four Divine Beasts Clan escape this predicament... In a little over ten thousand years, the Planar War will also begin. How could I miss such a grand event... The Nine Soul Pearls is still in the hands of Lord Molder of Tianshan Prefecture Lord, and there's also the Supreme God Token. I must obtain it as soon as possible to prevent word from spreading..."
