The fourfold fused World-Destroying Sword Intent—even the very space of Infernal Realm itself could no longer endure it.
Before the strike even landed, the six clan leaders, seeing the scene, immediately fled.
Fight? How could they fight?
This man's attacks could stack atop one another.
A single strike was already close to Great Perfection.
Four strikes stacked together… there was no difference from a true Great Perfection-level attack.
Space itself shattered. Within the rifted void, Sadius glimpsed a strange sight.
He saw a figure possessing supreme divine power, dragging another person as he attempted to tear open the fabric of space.
The moment the spatial rift appeared; the figure instantly emerged from the turbulent void beyond with a slightly disheveled figure in tow.
He could freely traverse the chaotic currents of space!
A Sovereign!
Sadius fixed his gaze on that man, and that man, too, looked straight back at Sadius.
Everyone present stared, bewildered.
What in the world… was happening?
"Many thanks, Lord Sovereign, for saving my life."
Everyone there heard St. Nar address that man as Sovereign.
The man—Boson—swept his gaze across those present, and an unimaginably terrifying Sovereign pressure radiated from him.
No one present dared remain upright. They all bowed low in deference.
"We greet the Lord Sovereign!"
Seeing this, Sadius also bowed deeply.
Strictly speaking, he no longer needed to bow to a Sovereign, for he had already attained Power of Will, no different from a Great Perfection Highgod.
But Sadius still wished to conceal the extent of his strength, so for now, he went along with the gesture.
Boson glanced around.
"You are the Sovereign Emissary of the Redbud Sovereign, and the newly emerged top-tier expert of the Four Divine Beast clan—Sadius?"
Boson studied Sadius closely. He was surprised.
This man was merely a Midgod!
Looking more carefully, he understood.
"Replying to Lord Sovereign—yes, that is I."
"Hahaha! So you're the second person in all the Heaven and Earth to possess a tri-elemental soul mutation. No wonder you can, with just Midgod strength, be invincible beneath Great Perfection. Redbud sure is fortunate to have received a Sovereign Emissary like you."
Inside, Sadius' fusion divine power was now fully under his control. He had always displayed it as merely threefold fusion divine power, to prevent outsiders from discovering that he was in truth a fourfold soul mutation wielder.
Everyone present was once again shaken to the core—this Sadius…was only a Midgod?!
"Many thanks for your praise, Lord Sovereign."
"A pity," Boson said with a faint smile, "you're already the Sovereign Emissary of Redbud. Otherwise, I would've truly wanted to introduce you to the Chief Sovereign of Fate."
Sadius nearly twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Introduce him to the Chief Fate Sovereign?
He, Sadius, was born in the Yulan Plane and possessed an earth-elemental talent. Orloff might not kill him outright—after all, he still had to maintain his façade as the 'benevolent one.'
But Augusta? He would definitely kill him, leaving Beirut no chance whatsoever to turn the tables.
"Sadius, as for this dispute between the Four Divine Beast Clans and the Eight Great Clans—you should not involve yourself."
Boson spoke bluntly.
"Lord Sovereign, is that an order forbidding me from interfering?"
"You could take it that way," Boson said lightly.
Previously, Boson had St. Nar handle some matters for him; thus, he owed St. Nar a favor.
This time, beyond requesting Boson to save his life, St. Nar also wished for Boson to help deal with Sadius.
But without cause, a Sovereign could not casually strike against ordinary deity-level beings.
That was a rule agreed upon among the Sovereigns.
Still, Sovereigns were so high above…often, a single order from one of them was enough to make most deities obey without question.
"Apologies, Lord Sovereign, but I am the Emissary of Redbud Sovereign, not yours. I am under no obligation to follow your orders."
"You certainly have guts," Boson shook his head slightly, "but I don't much like it."
In this situation, indeed, he could not openly act against Sadius.
"So what if you defeated the leaders of the Eight Great Clans today? Among them, there are those with ties to Great Perfection Highgods. Do you think you can contend against a Great Perfection?"
Sadius inwardly thought this Sovereign was just bluffing.
If the Eight Great Clans could truly invite a Great Perfection Highgod, they'd have wiped out the Four Divine Beast clan long ago.
What this guy really meant was:
"Kid, I can't personally touch you…but I can call a Great Perfection to 'persuade' you to be sensible."
"Lord Sovereign, I may not be able to invite a Great Perfection…but I can certainly call upon my Sovereign."
Sadius lifted his hand, revealing a Sovereign Scroll. This scroll had been given to Sadius by the Redbud Sovereign herself. It was originally intended for summoning her to resolve the crisis facing the Four Divine Beast clan.
But since Sadius felt confident handling the Eight Great Clans alone, he hadn't wanted to waste the scroll.
Now, faced with a threat from a Sovereign, Sadius tore the scroll. He decided it was time to call Redbud forth to back him up.
A terrifying destructive energy gathered—forming into an enormous visage.
"Boson, why are you here on Blood Ridge Continent?"
At that moment, yet another terrifying destructive aura condensed, and a giant face appeared.
"Zijing… Boson… I didn't expect the two of you would both appear here on my Blood Ridge Continent."
The newcomer was none other than Blood Ridge Sovereign, Pash.
Everyone once again bowed.
Sadius looked at the three Sovereigns.
This definitely confirms that the one St. Nar called was indeed Boson, the Lesser Sovereign of Fire. The very same one Linley punched so hard in the face his Sovereign Spark popped out.
"Sadius, the matter I entrusted to you—is it complete?"
"Yes, my lord, it is done."
"Good. In that case, the favor I owed the Four Divine Beast clan is now repaid. Gailson, come here."
Gailson was stunned. The Redbud Sovereign…actually called him by name?
He immediately flew over to Sadius' side.
"Greetings, Lord Sovereign!"
"That egg belonging to Sadius…will be my repayment of the debt owed to your four ancestors. Furthermore, I can promise you that the Eight Great Clans will cease their siege of your clan. Do you accept?"
Gailson was overjoyed.
"Lord Sovereign, the Four Divine Beast clan gladly accepts!"
If the Redbud Sovereign personally intervened and ordered the Eight Great Clans to end the conflict—would they dare refuse?
One had to understand, Redbud was not just an ordinary Sovereign. She was even stronger than the Blood Ridge Sovereign.
Boson couldn't help but frown.
So the Redbud Sovereign was willing to step in to shield her Sovereign Emissary.
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, Redbud was an Intermediate Sovereign, while he himself was only a Lesser Sovereign. There was a qualitative gap in power between them.
"St. Nar, take your people back to the Fire Sovereign Plane. Since Redbud has spoken, you will obey. Don't be like some other Sovereign emissaries who dare to defy their own Sovereigns' commands."
Boson's tone held clear displeasure.
St. Nar was unwilling…but what choice did he have?
"Yes, my lord."
The other six clan leaders saw this and could only comply as well.
At long last, this millennia-long conflict was ended by a single sentence from the Redbud Sovereign.
"My lord, the Eight Great Clans can invite Great Perfection Highgods. They may not dare offend you…but I cannot afford to provoke a Great Perfection."
Sadius deliberately spoke up while Boson was still present.
Boson frowned. This Sadius really couldn't distinguish the difference between deity-level beings and Sovereigns.
"Sadius, you still insist on calling me 'lord?' I am the first Amethyst Divine Beast born of the Amethyst Mountains. My son, Reisgem, was the second. And you… you are the third Amethyst Divine Beast of all creation—but even more unique, an Amethyst Dragon. Tell me, what do you think you should call me?"
Everyone present was stunned yet again.
