Chapter 130: Primordial Deity Great Chaos

After making an agreement with the Water Ruler, Xiao En continued to wait quietly in the Underworld, and Inas, who wants to challenge the Four Divine Beasts, will probably need some time as well.

For the Primordial Deity Plane, time holds little value; the Four Divine Beasts have likely been plotting the Primordial Deity Realm of the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Rulers since the Primordial Deity Realm descended at the beginning of Heaven and Earth, and other Rulers are also partly interested in the Four Divine Beasts' innate divine powers, yet none of the sides have succeeded.

……

Again after tens of thousands of years, Hell, Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range:

The Four Divine Beasts' Primordial Deity, who was in seclusion, suddenly sensed a massive gathering of Water Primordial Deity Power around, a familiar soul aura appeared, and soon formed a human silhouette.

"Inas? What's this? Your soul hasn't recovered, yet you only dare come here relying on an energy clone?" Qing Long, the Primordial Deity, though unaware of Inas's purpose, mocked him first.

"Hmph~ Leiding, as a lower‑rank Primordial Deity, don't overestimate yourself just because of your innate divine power," Water Ruler Inas said coldly.

Throughout countless trillions of years, a few mid‑rank Primordial Deities have appeared, reaching Ruler rank by virtue of numerous Primordial Deity clones, Great Perfection, or very strong innate divine powers.

Even though these individuals are arrogant, they still show proper respect to the true supreme Primordial Deities between Heaven and Earth, and outwardly they coexist peacefully.

Only the Four Divine Beasts are extremely arrogant; aside from the Four Great Rule Rulers, they disregard all other Rulers, and often deliberately provoke.

But because their combined innate divine powers are overwhelmingly god‑defying, ordinary Rulers indeed dare not do much, at most exchanging words.

Qing Long Leiding proudly said, "So why did you come here, what do you want?"

Inas said calmly, "Leiding, the purpose of the four of you is well known to the Primordial Deities between Heaven and Earth; I think it's time to settle this once and for all."

"Settle it? Do you intend to duel us?" Qing Long Leiding asked in surprise, and the other three Primordial Deities also wore strange expressions; this was unexpected to them.

Inas smiled faintly, "What, you're scared now? Haven't you always had this goal?"

Leiding furrowed his brow and asked, "What? After receiving a single strike of the Four Divine Beasts' combined innate divine power, you feel confident? If you truly wish to duel, how about coming to my Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range?"

"Haha, I don't want other Primordial Deities to know; otherwise, after the four of you die, the others might seize the chance to loot," Inas said with a light laugh.

The Four Divine Beasts have never attacked the Four Elemental Rulers; besides being too slow, the core reason is that if they strike elsewhere, even if they kill a Ruler and obtain a higher‑rank Primordial Deity Realm, it would be difficult to bring it back to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range for their descendants to refine.

The Primordial Deities between Heaven and Earth constantly maintain balance, and none wish to break it; the Four Divine Beasts' innate divine powers are overwhelmingly god‑defying in soul attacks and temporal‑spatial restraints, but they lack speed and material attacks, which is their flaw.

Once a Ruler‑rank entity joins them, the combination becomes invincible; any Rule Ruler cannot withstand such a joint attack. Consequently, if the Four Divine Beasts' family adds a few more Rule Rulers, their combined force would endanger the lives of the Rule Deities.

Therefore, for the Four Divine Beasts to succeed smoothly, the optimal battleground is near the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range; once they succeed and their descendants refine the Primordial Deity Realm, the outcome is set, and Inas naturally knows this.

Bai Hu Es sneered, "You're certainly confident, so where do you say we should duel?"

Inas smiled faintly, "Of course within the spatial turbulence, but away from the Four Supreme and the Seven Divine Planes, in the region of the Material Plane. How does that sound?"

"Material Plane?" Zhu Que, the Primordial Deity, laughed, "Inas, you don't intend to hide in your own Material Plane after getting hurt, do you?"

Inas smiled, "Don't worry, I won't stay beside my own Material Plane; you all know where the Material Plane I was born in is, that can't be hidden from you."

"You're not bringing other Primordial Deities to besiege us, are you? We're not fools," Qing Long Leiding said again.

Inas proactively challenged a duel, something they had never encountered in countless trillions of years; when events are abnormal, monsters arise, so they were naturally cautious.

Although they intend to secretly plot other Ruler divine realms, there are also other Rulers scheming against the four of them; those who have survived until now are all clever.

Inas smiled faintly, "Rest assured, for this duel I will issue a Supreme Deity Oath on my side, not to tell any other Primordial Deities; likewise, you all must not inform any other Primordial Deities, nor any other beings."

Moreover, in Heaven and Earth there are few who can block the Four Divine Beasts' combined innate divine power; if those few truly acted against you, they wouldn't have lasted until today."

"We need to consider this," Qing Long, the Primordial Deity, frowned, thought for a moment, then said.

It always feels there must be a problem inside, but with the Supreme Deity Oath restriction, theoretically there should be no other risk.

And those who can block a single strike are only a handful; if those few truly intended to kill them, they could have acted long ago, but due to the balance among parties, no action has been taken.

Inas laughed heartily, "Fine, I'll give you a year. If you refuse, I will broadcast to all Primordial Deities between Heaven and Earth; then the four of you, whenever you see me, must bow and salute, otherwise disappear from the Primordial Deity Plane, and don't even call yourselves the Four Divine Beasts—become the Four Worm Family instead, hahahaha~"

The mocking voice was harsh; Inas's Primordial Deity Power instantly dispersed, leaving only the Four Divine Beasts with sullen faces.

"Inas actually dared to proactively challenge us; what gave him confidence?" Bai Hu, the Primordial Deity, asked, frowning.

Zhu Que analyzed, "I see two possibilities: either his Water side has achieved Great Perfection, giving him full confidence to block our combined innate divine power.

Or he has completed the Supreme Deity mission and obtained the Supreme Artifact."

"He can't have Great Perfection; after all these years he should have reached his cultivation limit," Qing Long Leiding analyzed, "If he has Great Perfection, his strength would be at Rule Deity level; to kill us, he could just go straight to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, and even the Destroyer Deity wouldn't have time to intervene."

Inas, as a Ruler, also possesses a Primordial Deity clone; if he also attains Great Perfection, his willpower would be at the level of Ouf, and the Water side excels at defense, so the Four Divine Beasts' combined innate divine power couldn't even reach him, and he could be slain in the blink of an eye.

Xuan Wu, the Primordial Deity, said, "If he has completed the Supreme Deity mission and must face our attack, he can only request a Soul‑Defending Supreme Artifact from the Supreme Deity."

That would be an unprofitable deal for him; opting for material defense would be more suitable, otherwise even if he kills us, his Soul‑Defending Supreme Artifact could be coveted by other Rule Deities, and confronting an attacking Supreme Artifact would be courting death."

"That makes sense, but where does his confidence to proactively challenge us come from?" Zhu Que, the Primordial Deity, was also puzzled.

Bai Hu, the Primordial Deity, said, "Perhaps after withstanding one of our strikes and studying for a while, he felt confident to endure a second blow."

"Haha, then he's courting death," Qing Long, the Primordial Deity, laughed, "No one knows that our combined innate divine power cannot be used a third time in a short period, so the second strike consumes massive essence blood, making its power far stronger than the first attack."

Ordinary divine beasts need only draw innate energy from their souls to use their innate divine power, with essence blood serving as a supplement.

The Four Divine Beasts individually are the same, but their combined innate divine power is entirely different; when the four unite, even fusing souls, it fundamentally requires massive consumption of essence blood.

And this formidable ultimate technique, no matter what, cannot be executed three times consecutively; they have studied this for countless trillions of years yet never broken through.

Therefore, since a third use is impossible, the second naturally employs the maximum essence blood to ensure sufficient power; after casting, the four become weakened and must hide for a while, so it's better to unleash their strongest force earlier to slay the strong enemy.

Zhu Que, the Primordial Deity, said, "Since Inas is now so confident, daring to seek death and give us the Water‑linked higher Primordial Deity Realm, it would be a waste not to seize the chance; at the speed of Rulers, we rarely get such an opportunity."

Xuan Wu, the Primordial Deity, also agreed, "Yes, I concur; this duel is a chance given by the Supreme Deity, and if we win, we may obtain that Supreme Deity's relic."

"That may be difficult; don't forget Inas also has a living Primordial Deity clone, could that be his trump card?" Bai Hu, the Primordial Deity, said.

Qing Long, the Primordial Deity, smiled lightly, "A mid‑rank Primordial Deity with an extra willpower, even if the four of us become weakened after using our innate divine power twice, it's not something to be taken lightly."

After the Four Divine Beasts use their innate divine power, only the innate aspect becomes unavailable; other combat abilities remain, as they are super divine beasts, and even solo, none is much weaker than an average mid‑rank Primordial Deity.

The four together, without a Ruler rank, cannot be harmed.

Zhu Que, the Primordial Deity, said, "Then let's duel; if we obtain the Water‑linked higher Primordial Deity Realm and have Gaisileisen refine it, later he can cooperate with us to easily exterminate the Earth, Wind, and Fire Rulers; by then, even Rule Deities won't intimidate us at all."

Xuan Wu, the Primordial Deity, laughed, "Right, after that, the entire Supreme Plane and the Primordial Deity Plane will belong to our Four Divine Beasts family."

Qing Long, the Primordial Deity, smiled lightly, "If we can complete the Supreme Deity mission, that would be even more perfect."

The Four Divine Beasts' combined innate divine power, plus the four Rule Rulers, with one possessing a Supreme Artifact, when united, may not be a match even for Rule Deities.

A few months later, Xiao En also received Inas's message, but limited by the Supreme Deity Oath, it contained only one sentence: be ready at any time.

Xiao En naturally also understood the meaning, the Lord God's avatar immediately went to the Material Plane, and by his side remained a Higher Deity whose divine avatar had been soul‑seeded, awaiting his notice;

For the Lord God, ten thousand years is no more than the blink of an eye.

Somewhere on the Material Plane, the Four Sacred Beasts and the Water Domain Lord drew close to each other.

Qing Long Lei Ding sneered, "Yi Na Si, don't run too fast later; if you have the skill, try to counter our second Innate Divine Skill."

"Hmph, what's that? You guys are speed‑waste, you forbid others from using speed; then if you have the skill, don't use your Innate Divine Skill!" Yi Na Si retorted in kind.

In fact, it was their speed that saved the lives of the four domain lords; no matter how powerful the Four Sacred Beasts' ultimate moves, even with a supreme artifact, they can't catch the enemy, making it all for naught.

"Hmph, strike." Qing Long Lei Ding, though suspecting some plot, said the chance was rare; they must seize it. Once they obtain the first Higher Lord God Form, dealing with the other Law Lords later will be a facile slaughter.

The Four Sacred Beasts Lord instantly transformed from humanoid into four beasts; under an invisible force, the four beasts gathered—Azure Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Vermilion Bird above, Black Tortoise below. Strange light radiated from the center of the four, and the surrounding space spanning billions of miles instantly solidified.

Just like last time, Yi Na Si was immobilized again; although he had previously retreated at high speed, he simply couldn't outrun the Innate Divine Skill. It happened in an instant, perhaps even altering the flow of time.

The surrounding spatial turbulence was also frozen; Yi Na Si watched with his own eyes as the Four Sacred Beasts' Combined Innate Divine Skill fired again. He hurriedly launched his strongest soul attack, trying to block part of the assault outside his body;

However, the effect was poor; the soul attack of the Combined Innate Divine Skill was hit by a dozen or so soul forces in succession, weakening it only slightly. The remainder still surged forward like a bamboo‑splintering force, striking Yi Na Si directly.

Inside Yi Na Si, a massive defense of Water Domain Deity power continued to absorb the soul attack, and, just as last time, the Combined Innate Divine Skill pierced his Soul Defense Prime Artifact, grievously wounding his soul.

"Indeed impressive; even after devising a counter, it was only a bit better than last time," Yi Na Si said, enduring searing soul pain.

As the soul attack concluded, the temporal‑spatial binding weakened gradually. At that moment, any additional Dominion‑level assault would guarantee Yi Na Si's death, but the four members of the Four Sacred Beasts were lower‑rank Lords and dared not approach.

Even though Yi Na Si's soul was wounded, material attacks could still threaten them, even though they were only lower‑rank Lords, let alone super beasts.

After a while, the spatial binding vanished; Yi Na Si swiftly retreated to a safe distance and kept fleeing backward. Though injured, his speed far outpaced the Four Sacred Beasts.

"Yi Na Si, if you have the skill, don't run," Qing Long Lei Ding roared.

Their Innate Divine Skill, for the second and first attempts, required only a brief interval; if Yi Na Si came to attack, they would need only to briefly unite to block, then could cast again;

But Yi Na Si simply fled; once the distance widened, his own skill's recovery became useless.

"Ha ha, just wait," Yi Na Si said with a cold laugh.

Just as the Four Sacred Beasts were bewildered, still pursuing at full force, a familiar divine perception detected them.

"Xiao En? Why are you here?" the Four Sacred Beasts instantly understood, angrily shouting at Yi Na Si, "Yi Na Si, you informed Xiao En? Aren't you afraid of breaking the Supreme Deity's oath?"

They dared come here because Yi Na Si had sworn the Supreme Deity's oath.

Yi Na Si replied indifferently, "If I had broken the Supreme Deity's oath, I would have been executed by the Supreme Deity long ago. Since I'm fine, I obviously kept my promise;

As for why Xiao En appears, perhaps he himself is a Lord God born of the Material Plane, so staying there is normal; maybe you can just ask him directly."

The Four Sacred Beasts' expressions darkened, and they instantly transmitted a voice to Xiao En, "Xiao En, what do you intend to do?"

"Your guess?" Xiao En replied with a cold sneer, simultaneously activating Dominion‑level speed, rapidly closing in on the Four Sacred Beasts.
