St. Nar was banished by Sadius into the chaotic spatial turbulence.
All the experts present were utterly stunned.
Could Sadius already have reached Highgod Great Perfection?
But that didn't make sense.
A Highgod at Great Perfection wouldn't need such elaborate means to banish a Shura expert.
It would be as easy as lifting a finger, without the need to forcibly tear open space.
The obvious conclusion was clear—Sadius had already reached an invincible realm beneath true Great Perfection, standing just a single step away from that ultimate height.
St. Nar, trapped in the spatial turbulence, immediately consumed his only Sovereign scroll, desperately pleading for the Sovereign to save him.
But what he summoned was merely a projection of the Sovereign. To actually rescue him, the Sovereign would have to personally descend.
Meanwhile, in a Divine Realm.
Boson was strolling through the Augu Garden, one of Orloff's personal divine estates.
As Orloff's subordinate, he frequently visited this place.
"Boson, what is it?" Orloff looked over at him.
"Milord," Boson said respectfully,
"One of my Sovereign emissaries has been banished into the chaotic spatial turbulence. He's requesting that I save him."
"Oh?" Orloff raised a brow.
"Which Great Perfection expert made a move?"
Boson shook his head.
"It wasn't a Great Perfectionist. It was a newly born top-tier Highgod from the Four Divine Beasts clans."
Orloff's eyes flickered with surprise.
Ever since the Four Divine Beasts had been slain by Augusta, their clan had shrunk back into the Infernal Realm plane's Tianji Mountain Range, teetering on the brink of extinction.
And yet now, a top-tier Highgod had actually emerged from them?
"It seems the Four Divine Beasts clan's destiny is not yet severed," Orloff mused.
"Very well. If you wish to save him, then go."
"Yes, Milord."
Boson immediately departed from the Augu Garden, flying towards the nearest teleportation array.
If he entered the spatial turbulence from the Divine Realm directly and flew all the way to Infernal Realm, it would take time.
But if he teleported first to Blood Ridge Continent and then entered the spatial turbulence, he could reach St. Nar much faster.
At this moment, outside the Tianji Mountain Range. The remaining six clan leaders of the Eight Great Families faced Sadius.
Yet not a single one dared take the first step forward.
"Six of you," Sadius' calm voice echoed,
"I've already given you a chance. If you are willing to swear to abandon your campaign against the Four Divine Beasts clan, then all past grudges can be written off in a single stroke."
But how could the six clan leaders possibly yield?
The Four Divine Beasts clan had once killed their dearest kin.
Sadius' eyes narrowed.
"In these past ten thousand years, you've slaughtered far more of the Four Divine Beasts clan's descendants than they ever killed of yours. Is that not enough?"
"Not enough!" one of them roared, his voice filled with hatred.
"The Four Divine Beasts clan must die!"
"Do you truly believe," Sadius' gaze grew cold,
"That you still have the strength to annihilate the Four Divine Beasts clan?"
The six fell silent.
Finally, one of them gritted his teeth.
"Then today… the six of us will have no choice but to join forces and overwhelm you by numbers!"
With that, the six charged downwards, hoping sheer numbers would suppress Sadius.
"Hmph. The Eight Great Families are still as shameless, relying on numbers to oppress others?"
From within the Tianji Mountain Range, four clan leaders and four Grand Elders of the Four Divine Beasts clan flew out.
All eight were Shura-level experts—and each wielded a Sovereign artifact.
Now, the numbers were nine versus six. Only then did the six clan leaders finally realize…
They truly could no longer match the Four Divine Beasts clan.
But how could they accept this?
For countless years, they had hunted the Four Divine Beasts clan relentlessly. If not for Beirut's intervention back then, the clan would have been completely wiped out.
And now, Sadius had appeared, directly demanding they retreat to their original planes. How could they possibly accept this humiliation?
Yet unwillingness changed nothing.
Their strength was already inferior.
Continuing this fight would only result in even greater losses.
Just then, a divine voice transmission sounded in their minds.
"My friends, I've already summoned the Sovereign I serve. The Sovereign will take charge of this matter for us!"
It was St. Nar's voice. The six clan leaders immediately grew excited.
St. Nar had actually managed to invite a Sovereign!
Though all of them were nominally Sovereign emissaries, most emissaries were little more than subordinates—mere pawns.
Convincing a Sovereign to personally intervene was far from easy.
But St. Nar had that kind of connection.
Even though Sovereigns generally did not lower themselves to strike at ordinary deities, all Gods still had to give a Sovereign face.
As long as the Sovereign backing St. Nar opened his mouth and ordered Sadius to not interfere in the war between the Eight Great Families and the Four Divine Beasts clan, Sadius would definitely not dare to disobey.
Sadius glanced at the Four Divine Beasts clan experts behind him.
"Gailson, take the others and return. Today, I will make these people admit their defeat willingly."
"Why bother reasoning with them?" one of the Grand Elders said coldly.
"If they all fall here today, the Eight Great Families will never again stir up any waves."
"I said—GO BACK NOW."
Sadius' aura suddenly erupted, his face dark with displeasure.
Seeing this, the eight clan experts immediately understood he was truly angry.
They could only retreat.
They also realized that from today onward, within the Four Divine Beasts clan, Sadius' status would likely surpass even the four clan leaders and four Grand Elders.
Because in this world, strength was everything.
Sadius turned his gaze back to the six clan leaders of the Eight Great Families.
"I'll give you a chance. The six of you may challenge me alone. If you lose, you will take your people and leave Youlan Prefecture, returning to wherever you came from. If you win, I will never again interfere in the disputes between the Eight Great Families and the Four Divine Beasts clan."
Under normal circumstances, Sadius would never offer such terms. But today, he had absolute confidence. Because…his true body had returned.
In the distance, a metallic lifeform flew over at high speed.
"Teacher, there are so many powerful experts here!" a young voice exclaimed.
"Yes," Sadius said with a faint smile.
"This is the Tianji Mountain Range of Infernal Realm—the true ancestral ground of the Four Ultimate Warriors."
If he simply told Olivier, it was the ancestral ground of the Four Divine Beasts clan, Olivier might not fully understand.
But mentioning it was the birthplace of the Four Ultimate Warriors of the Yulan Continent immediately made sense to him.
"No wonder the Four Ultimate Warriors of the Yulan Continent were so formidable. It turns out their clan in Infernal Realm is this powerful!"
Very quickly, Sadius' metallic lifeform arrived above the Battle Platform.
Everyone looked up. The metallic lifeform was retracted—and three figures appeared.
Two were Midgods. One was only at the Saint-level.
But when everyone saw one of those figures clearly, their eyes widened.
It was Sadius' clone—or rather, it would be more accurate to say, his true body.
Sadius descended with Radius and Olivier. Then, his true body and clone fused into one.
"Radius, take Olivier into the Tianji Mountain Range first," Sadius instructed.
Radius nodded and flew into the mountain range with Olivier.
"Alright then…"
Sadius' eyes slowly swept over the six clan leaders.
"Are you ready?"
The six exchanged glances, gritting their teeth as they decided to fight with everything they had.
"Let's combine our strengths, exploit our advantages, and deal with Sadius together. I don't believe he can banish all of us at once!"
"Agreed!"
The six nodded and charged forward, each unleashing their strongest techniques.
From Sadius' body, multiple divine clones stepped forth. The Destruction Midgod clone wielded the Violet Blood Divine Sword.
The Darkness Midgod clone wielded the Divine Spark Sword. The Earth Midgod clone wielded an ordinary Highgod weapon.
His true body itself wielded the Sovereign artifact Amethyst Sword.
Four bodies.
Four swords.
And together, they simultaneously unleashed the World-Annihilating Sword Intent. In the skies above, four phantom sword shadows appeared—then layered atop one another…manifesting a terrifying reality.
