"Whoosh whoosh~~"
The multi-colored spatial turbulence, like streams of dreamy meteors streaking across the void, coalesced into this vibrant, multicolored 'torrent' of space.
Over a dozen figures stood firm amidst the spatial rift, each bearing a look of shock on their face.
"I never expected Orf to actually pass the 'Reincarnation Golden Body' to Augustus. Hmph, the Four Divine Beast's Vital Blood... In the end, that Four Divine Beast's Vital Blood still ended up in Orf's hands," the Destruction Sovereign, 'Utreid,' said with a grim expression. "It seems the Four Divine Beast's Vital Blood was the item Lin Lei traded with Augustus, and Augustus then gave it to Orf!"
Utreid's expression grew even uglier.
"Lin Lei, oh Lin Lei!" Utreid was also burning with frustration in his heart.
……
At that moment, a hazy phantom was gradually emerging on the surface of Augustus's body.
"Huh?" Lin Lei was startled in his heart. Acting with caution, he immediately commanded his Water系 Sovereign clone and Wind系 Sovereign clone to merge back into his main body.
"Lin Lei, if you value your life, you should retreat!" Augustus said coldly.
"Do your worst, or I'll be the one to make a move," Lin Lei said, seeming generous but actually being extremely wary.
Now, he couldn't gauge Augustus's true depths. If he attacked rashly, he might walk right into a trap.
Better to defend carefully and probe his true strength first.
"Hmph, then you can die," Augustus snorted coldly.
Lin Lei grew even more vigilant.
Augustus's gaze was like lightning as he glared at Lin Lei. The phantom emerging from his body expanded, forming a golden giant illusion a full hundred meters tall. The overwhelming aura made even Lin Lei momentarily cautious: "A innate divine ability? What kind of divine beast is Augustus? But he has a full 182 children!"
Lin Lei had never heard that Augustus was a divine beast.
"Boom!" A golden phantom shot forth from Augustus's mouth, hurtling towards Lin Lei.
Lin Lei focused his attention, wielding the Life Sovereign Sword to defend.
When the golden phantom made contact with Lin Lei's Life Sovereign Sword, it dissipated with a "poof."
"What?!" Lin Lei was greatly shocked. "How is it so weak?"
Judging from Augustus's earlier momentum, Lin Lei had thought it was his ultimate move, but he never expected... it was just a feint. The golden phantom's power likely wouldn't even scratch Lin Lei if it hit him. It was obviously meant to scare him.
"Haha, Lin Lei, you're really too easy to trick," Augustus's wild laughter echoed in Lin Lei's mind.
"I fell for it!" Lin Lei's expression changed drastically.
By then, Augustus was already ten thousand miles away.
"Whoosh." Lin Lei's speed surged to its limit as he pursued at maximum velocity.
In a brief moment, Lin Lei also figured it out: "The Reincarnation Golden Body only makes his physical body stronger, slightly boosting his physical attacks! Just like my dragon transformation. But he's ten times weaker than me, so that minor boost from his strengthened body doesn't change the gap in our strength at all."
"Boom!" The dark green fused Sovereign Power within Lin Lei's body erupted crazily.
In his dragonized state, Lin Lei gave it his all, continuously closing the distance with Augustus.
"This Lin Lei's strength has increased so much! Just that little boost from the Reincarnation Golden Body is completely useless against him!" Although Augustus was arrogant, his heart was bitter. He glanced back and saw Lin Lei still gaining on him. "Orf, hurry up! Otherwise—"
……
The Divine Realm, Orf Garden.
Orf Garden contained a full eight Sovereign Gods, one of whom was naturally its master, 'Orf.'
"This Lin Lei's strength has increased so much, pressuring Augustus like this?" The white-haired, white-robed Orf stood straight, his gaze cool. "If pushed to the final step, given Augustus's personality, he would definitely do it. Utreid and the others would certainly guess as well..."
"There's no other way!"
The white-robed elder 'Orf' waved his hand, and the entire 'Orf Garden' rapidly shrank, finally dissolving into a hazy glow and merging into Orf's body.
"Lord Orf!"
The servants in the garden, along with the seven Sovereign Gods, looked at him in confusion.
Why did Orf put away the Orf Garden?
"Hssss~" Orf's expression was calm as he waved his hand, and a spatial rift appeared before him. He immediately stepped into the spatial turbulence.
These seven Sovereign Gods were the ones who had submitted to Orf, including individuals like Manlu and Boetier.
"Lord Orf seems somewhat off," Manlu said with a frown. "In the past, no matter how big the issue, Lord Orf always faced it with a smile. Nothing ever affected his state of mind. But just now..."
A blue-haired, three-eyed beauty also asked in puzzlement, "And Lord Orf rarely carries the Orf Garden with him."
"Let's go, we'll go take a look too," said the Fire Sovereign God 'Boetier,' who also waved his hand, tore open a spatial rift, and took the lead in rushing into the spatial turbulence. The other six confused Sovereign Gods didn't hesitate either, following closely behind as they charged into the spatial rift, eager to find out what was happening.
Their divine senses spread out.
"What?!"
The faces of these seven Sovereign Gods changed. "Lin Lei and Augustus, these two Sovereign-level powerhouses..."
By the time the seven of them entered the spatial turbulence, the number of Sovereign Gods watching the battle had already grown to over twenty.
"No wonder Lord Orf went over; Augustus is in trouble." These powerful beings who had submitted to the Fate Sovereign 'Orf' were all aware of the relationship between Augustus and Orf.
"Let's go, we'll fly over, but we need to keep our distance. Otherwise, if we're caught in the crossfire, we could very well perish."
