"What, the combined innate divine ability of all four ancestors?" Lin Lei's eyes went wide.
Then Lin Lei gazed into the void at the Destruction Sovereign and thought: "Nearly twenty thousand years ago, this Destruction Sovereign had already asked Grandpa Belute for half of the Four Divine Beasts' essence blood. Right—Gasriksen and the others also mentioned that five thousand years ago, the Destruction Sovereign borrowed 100 Highgods from my Four Divine Beast family. Presumably to study our Four Divine Beasts' innate divine abilities. And now, he's actually succeeded! Incredible. This Destruction Sovereign truly is a terrifying figure."
Innate divine abilities could never be learned with absolute perfection. But imitating a similar divine ability—there was hope of that.
But for a figure like the Destruction Sovereign, with deep research and the aid of the Four Divine Beasts' essence blood, it wasn't entirely without hope of success.
After all, like Lin Lei—the Amethyst Divine Beast's 'Amethyst Space' was its exclusive ultimate technique. Under the Amethyst Chief God's deliberate guidance, Lin Lei had ultimately grasped the underlying 'principle' behind it. Though its power couldn't compare to when the Amethyst Divine Beast used it personally, it was still formidable.
The ten Sovereign-level powerhouses fell silent, watching the battle between the two Grand Rule Sovereigns from afar.
"Hiss hiss~~" The black light spread across a thousand-li area, and at its very center, that blurry, sinister figure continued to float silently.
"Alf! I drew upon the innate ability of a peculiar race in my Infernal Realm—the Tartar Clan—and after countless years, I've finally perfected my ultimate technique once more. This move is far more powerful than the last. This time, try facing my strongest attack again." The Destruction Sovereign's voice echoed through the void.
"Oh, sounds quite impressive. Come, then." Alf, in his white robe with white hair, still wore his usual gentle smile.
His black robe billowing, the Destruction Sovereign fixed his frigid gaze upon his opponent. With a flick of his hand—a pitch-black long spear materialized in his grip. The black spear was nearly two meters long, and even lying idle, the sharp aura it radiated was already tearing apart the chaotic spatial currents around it.
Lin Lei and the others watching from afar were secretly alarmed.
They all understood—that black long spear was none other than the Destruction Sovereign Artifact!
"Rumble~~" The boundless black light instantly contracted, completely merging into the Destruction Sovereign's body.
This created a vacuum across the surrounding thousand-li area in an instant. Not even a trace of energy flow remained.
"Sha~~"
An eerie, low voice emanated from the Destruction Sovereign's mouth. Simultaneously, a colossal phantom appeared behind him—a phantom stretching to a terrifying length of ten thousand li. It was a serpentine creature that coiled and writhed, its flexible, sinuous body covered in black scales, bearing over ten thousand razor-sharp claws.
Ten thousand li long. Over ten thousand claws, and at the same time, over ten thousand razor-edged wings.
At first glance, the scales, claws, and wings all appeared as though forged from black steel.
Yet the creature's head was bald, bearing two eyes upon its forehead—one with a white pupil, the other with a red pupil.
Lin Lei, watching from afar, was utterly stunned. The Destruction Sovereign's true form was far too terrifying.
"What is that?" Lin Lei exclaimed in a low voice.
Lin Lei's divine sense was constantly spread outward. Due to his fusion with Chief God's power, no one could detect his divine sense at all. And Lin Lei himself clearly perceived that after the Destruction Sovereign unleashed this technique, countless threads of soul power were weaving along bizarre trajectories, entangling toward the Fate Sovereign!
The Fate Sovereign was like prey caught in a trap.
"You don't know?" The Death Sovereign glanced at Lin Lei and transmitted, "This Utreade was the first life born after the Infernal Realm's creation. He dwells in the depths of the Sea of Chaos. He calls himself the Divine Beast 'Wu Kun.' This innate divine ability is called 'Soul Prison.'"
The Death Sovereign was the first life born in the Underworld, while the Destruction Sovereign was the first life in the Infernal Realm. Among the four Grand Rule Sovereigns, these two were the eldest.
"Divine Beast 'Wu Kun,' innate divine ability 'Soul Prison'?" Lin Lei's heart trembled.
Indeed, not a single one among the four Grand Rule Sovereigns was anything less than formidable.
"However, this level of trickery won't have much effect on the Fate Sovereign. Look—" the Death Sovereign chuckled softly.
Lin Lei had already seen it!
At the same time as unleashing the innate divine ability 'Soul Prison,' the Destruction Sovereign, wielding the Destruction Sovereign Artifact, charged toward the Fate Sovereign at a speed approaching teleportation.
"Whoosh whoosh~~"
The black spear shadow instantly multiplied into billions of spear images, blanketing the thousand-li area. They looked like billions of vipers flicking their tongues. Yet each spear image leaked a streak of black light, and the billions of black light streaks once again entangled toward the Fate Sovereign. Immediately after, the countless spear images surged like a flood, overwhelming the Fate Sovereign.
"Whoosh!"
All the spear images vanished.
A single black long spear thrust toward the skull of the white-robed elder—the Fate Sovereign!
Ultimate technique—World's End!
From beginning to end, the white-robed elder—the Fate Sovereign—had faced everything with a smile, not even lifting a hand. His body was shrouded in countless streams of black light, subjecting him to immense restraint.
"Heh." The Fate Sovereign smiled faintly and flipped his right hand.
It was truly bizarre—though his entire body was entangled and covered in black light, this simple flip of his right hand gave off an utterly ordinary, almost mundane sensation. As his palm turned, its surface took on a strange golden hue. His hand struck the tip of the black long spear from the side, producing only a muffled thud.
"Whoosh!" The Sovereign Artifact was slapped away by the rebound.
"Terrifying." Lin Lei was shaken by the Destruction Sovereign's attack, but even more so by the Fate Sovereign's effortless handling of it.
"Lord, how can the Fate Sovereign slap a Sovereign Artifact away with just his hand?" Lin Lei couldn't believe it and instinctively transmitted to the Death Sovereign.
The Death Sovereign chuckled and transmitted, "This Alf possesses one more portion of Will's Mandate than we do. Naturally, his foundation is exceptional! But that isn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that Alf is a madman."
"A madman?" Lin Lei didn't understand.
