Chapter 19: Internal Chaos and Massacre

"Ambush?" Buweit was stunned: "Shawn wouldn't think a single magic circle could trap us, would he?"

Ta Shan looked upward, frowned, and said: "This magic circle is no simple thing; it seems to contain an extremely strong water-element law."

"So what? As long as we use Divine Lord's Power, even an unbreakable magic circle?" Buweit said disdainfully.

Divine Lord's Power is highly revered for ordinary Divine Messengers; they are reluctant to use it unless forced.

But for the Seven-Star Elders of the Four Beast Clan, though not infinite, they can basically use it whenever they wish.

As the two talked, a massive white mist spread over several miles.

"Aaaah~~~" many members of the Four Beast Clan instantly had bloodshot eyes and launched a frenzied counterattack.

Over sixty six-star demons infected by soul seeds were naturally unaffected by the white mist; at this moment, they were also slaughtering Four Beast Clan members without regard for their lives.

In a short time, hundreds fell.

"This is Soul Poison Gas," Ta Shan sensed the surrounding mist and said: "Shawn has hidden his soul toxin within the water-element mist of the magic circle—how cunning."

"This poison gas can even affect our clan's higher deity? Shawn's death rule is truly terrifying," Buweit immediately used a drop of Divine Lord's Power and transmitted: "Everyone use Divine Lord's Power to avoid being affected by the Soul Poison Gas."

"Boom boom boom~~~~" The others did not hesitate; including Ta Shan, all used Divine Lord's Power.

Facing a Divine Messenger, they dare not underestimate him; even with superior numbers they might defeat or kill the opponent, but how many would die in the process is uncertain.

And dozens of sneaking God-level foes were quickly wiped out when the Four Beast Clan employed Divine Lord's Power.

"What kind of magic circle is this?" Ta Shan's face changed dramatically: "When we wield Divine Lord's Power, even our Divine Sense is blocked by the circle."

"Could Shawn also be a magic-circle master? Impossible," Buweit, also looking grim, said: "Not only can we not detect outside, our internal detection is getting fuzzier; we can sense others, but their positions are increasingly vague, as if soul auras are everywhere—very chaotic."

Ta Shan paused, then said: "I've, Ta Shan, lived for countless billions of years and have never seen such a magic circle; a normal circle could never have this power;"

The only explanation is that the circle uses Divine Lord's Power as its energy source, allowing it to interfere with our Divine Lord's Power, and it must be water-element.

"Water-element?" Buweit immediately understood: "No wonder he first targeted a soul-seed expert from my Qing Long Clan; it seems he wanted to obtain water-element Divine Lord's Power."

In Ta Shan's hand appeared an earth-colored spear, and he said: "Be careful; a magic circle that uses Divine Lord's Power as its energy source won't last, and the Divine Lord's Power will dissipate, meaning Shawn will soon attack us."

"I'm only afraid he won't appear," Buweit's battle blade also coursed with water-element Divine Lord's Power; he glanced again at Ta Shan's Main Divine Artifact, full of envy.

"Everyone gather," Buweit finished speaking, and on his side, a familiar Soul Aura appeared.

A massive wave of gray-black soul attacks shot out like lightning toward the surrounding hundreds.

"It's Shawn, everyone launch a material attack together," the attacked crowd shouted, each person using their Divine Lord's Power to unleash their strongest assault.

Four-colored material attacks tore through space toward Shawn, yet they couldn't stop Shawn's soul attack; hundreds were hit but none injured, while Shawn evaded most of the material attacks and slipped away.

"Shawn, we've been waiting for you a long time," Ta Shan's deep voice rang from above.

"Ta Shan?" Shawn smiled faintly at the yellow-clad figure above; regarding the Four Beast Clan's Divine Messenger, he had already investigated thoroughly.

The earth-colored spear, bearing earth-colored Divine Lord's Power, surged like thunder straight toward Shawn's head; along the way, within the spatial fissure, multicolored spatial turbulence appeared.

Even with a material-defending Main Divine Artifact, Shawn wouldn't try to block it with his head; he immediately formed a fist with his right hand and struck directly at the spear tip.

"Boom~" The massive force hurled Shawn, blasting him straight into the ground,

He felt lingering pain in his right hand; the material-defending Main Divine Artifact could block damage, yet the force still threw him, and his own death rule is not adept at physical attacks, though the Earth Law is.

"You indeed chose the material-defending Main Divine Artifact," Ta Shan said coldly from above.

In fact, when he saw Shawn block the Main Divine Artifact with his hand, he had already guessed that without a material-defending Main Divine Artifact, this move would be courting death.

"Ha ha, Ta Shan, you can't stop me," Shawn's voice echoed throughout the magic circle.

Ta Shan then shouted: "Shawn, what is this magic circle of yours? How can it affect my Divine Lord's Power detection?"

He could sense Shawn's Soul Aura underground, yet couldn't lock its position, and it grew increasingly vague; after living countless billions of years, he had never seen such a magic circle.

"Want to know? Come down then," Shawn's teasing voice came from below.

This magic circle, he obtained from Buleile through two divine avatars fully infected by soul seeds, can after use simulate a misty, bewildering illusion that interferes with Divine Sense;

And once infused with water-element Divine Lord's Power, it can affect others also using Divine Lord's Power.

This magic-circle master is so gifted that calling him a "Great Perfection" in the magic-circle domain would not be an overstatement;

However, the dissipating nature of Divine Lord's Power cannot be restrained by a magic circle, meaning the time it can trap those above is limited.

"Hmph!" Ta Shan snorted, transmitting via Divine Sense to those beside him: "Later we'll go down together; Divine Sense can't lock onto its Soul Aura, but I have a plan—once I force him out, you all use Soul Attack."

"Understood." Hundreds beside him replied in unison.

Hundreds surged straight underground; around Ta Shan, massive Earth energy surged, countless ripples spreading outward;

Far away, Shawn suddenly sensed the immense compressive Earth force nearby; the force couldn't harm him but was blocked by the Main Divine Artifact, and the earth-colored energy immediately fluctuated.

"There, Soul Attack," Ta Shan ordered,

Hundreds were just about to unleash innate divine abilities or Soul Attack when, suddenly, dozens from the White Tiger Clan and Xuanwu Clan drew their blades and attacked nearby comrades;

With no defense, over a hundred suffered brain ruptures, and the others' attacks halted instantly; bewildered, they instinctively fled the dozens of slaughtering clan mates.

Unexpectedly, within the gathered crowd, several individuals suddenly turned and ambushed others.

In an instant, the formation fell into chaos again, and everyone realized that no one within the clan could be trusted.
