Chapter 6: The Four Beast Clan

"The safest and best method is still to go to Youming Mountain."

Xiao En considered many options in his mind, and ultimately thought this was the best.

Now, facing the Four Beast Clan's pursuit, he needs a way to stay alive; the enemy wields endless Lord God's Power, which he lacks.

The only option now is to quickly elevate the Law of Light to a High God, thereby gaining endless Three‑Path Fusion Divine Power, which would give him the means to confront the massive number of Four Beast Clan elites.

Although he has long wanted to keep the Three‑Path mutation secret, if his life is truly in danger, he can't worry about that.

However, over billions of years, even with his powerful soul mutated by the Three‑Path, his practice of the Law of Light has never succeeded in reaching the High God Realm; a breakthrough through cultivation seems unlikely in the short term, and the only opportunity he knows of now is the Youming Fruit.

If he obtains the Youming Fruit, he may become a messenger of the Lord of Death; acquiring the Material Defense Main Divine Artifact thereafter would mean he no longer needs to worry about the Four Beast Clan.

Even the worst outcome—failing—leaves him safe on Youming Mountain; at worst he can continue cultivating at his own pace, and the Four Beast Clan likely dares not enter Youming Mountain.

Xiao En also knows the direction of Youming Mountain, after all it is the Lord of Death's domain; he investigated it when he entered the Nether Realm billions of years ago, though he has never gone there.

When he was at Seven‑Star Demon strength, his progress was still rapid, so there was no need to risk it; after reaching the Asura rank, he met a Residence Lord and learned that many peak Asuras also sought to become Lord God's messengers, so they attempted Youming Mountain, but most failed, some even fell.

As for why, no one knows; in any case, over countless trillions of years, two people succeeded, while dozens of Asura‑level masters who tried either died or returned half‑decrepit.

However, the Lord of Death now has two Lord God messengers, which gives Xiao En a rough guess that he must be from a period long before the Linlei era.

On Black Wind Mountain:

After returning, Xiao En went straight to Buleile.

"Lord Xiao En?" Buleile, seeing Xiao En suddenly appear before him, hurriedly greeted him.

Xiao En said, "Buleile, this place is no longer safe. I've had a conflict with the Four Beast Clan, so you should leave as soon as possible."

"Four Beast Clan?" Buleile's face changed dramatically, and he asked, "Where does Lord Xiao En intend to go?"

"You'd better not know that," Xiao En shook his head, tossed a spatial ring and said, "You've stayed on my side for these few hundred years; in theory no outsiders should know, but I'm not sure the Four Beast Clan can trace it."

To be safe, you should find a material plane to hide in; this spatial ring contains 10 trillion Nether Stones and can transport any material plane at will.

"Material plane? Fine, I'll return to my own material plane," Buleile said after taking the spatial ring.

Xiao En nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you two Seven‑Star Demons I soul‑seeded; they will obey your commands;

but don't let them die. I'll keep their divine avatars here, and once I'm sure there's no danger, I'll have them relay the message to you."

As a top‑tier magic array master, Buleile's abilities are still very significant; merely being able to craft arrays that extract Lord God's Power is extremely useful, and even if he becomes a Lord God's messenger, the Lord God's Power would not be infinite.

"Thank you, Lord Xiao En," Buleile felt great joy.

Having two Seven‑Star Demons loyal to him is far more useful than countless trillions of wealth.

"You're welcome. I'm leaving now; I'll take the other Seven‑Star Demons here with me," Xiao En said, and his figure vanished.

Buleile sighed and said softly, "The Death Rule is truly handy."

Hell, Tianji Mountain Range.

The Four Beast Clan leader Gaisu Reisun is now sitting atop the great hall, coldly eyeing the person below and saying, "You mean, among your over a thousand members, there are 22 six‑star demons, 103 five‑star, and the rest are independent High Gods who have become deities."

Even with so many wielding Lord God's Power together, only a few dozen managed to escape after being slain.

"Yes, clan leader." The destructive divine avatar of Seven‑Star Elder Buweit, now facing the Four Beast Clan leader, trembled in fear.

Although he is a Seven‑Star Demon, the clan's loss of so many elites this time will inevitably bring punishment.

"Then why did you bring so many clan members to clash with Xiao En?" Gaisu Reisun asked coldly.

Buweit had also prepared, saying, "A friend of mine, Senaer, was killed by him, even while we were together; he gave no respect to the Four Beast Clan."

He didn't want to tell the clan leader about the main divine artifact; an ownerless main divine artifact, if the clan learned of it, would certainly not be his concern, though he also doesn't know why an ownerless main divine artifact ended up in Senaer's hands.

"Really?" Gaisu Reisun asked with a frown.

"Clan leader, I can issue a Supreme God Oath," Buweit said solemnly.

The Supreme God Oath cannot be falsified, but it can be concealed.

"Fine, I trust you." Gaisu Reisun asked again, "Does he have an attack on the main divine artifact?"

Buweit replied, "No."

"In this Nether Realm, when did such a master appear? I recall Xiao En; in the records, isn't he a peak Seven‑Star Demon?" Gaisu Reisun said, puzzled.

The birth of each Seven‑Star level master on the Supreme Plane causes a certain stir; Gaisu Reisun doesn't care much, but has heard of some.

Buweit quickly added, "From his previous battle afterimages, he indeed possessed only Seven‑Star Demon strength, and he never challenged a Residence Lord before, but this encounter revealed his power to be terrifying, especially his soul attacks."

"It seems he's been hiding his strength all along," Gaisu Reisun said coldly, "Can you locate his position?"

Buweit replied, "Xiao En has no clan or sphere of influence, making him hard to find. He also soul‑seeded members of our clan, but seems to have sent them to other planes, so the Nether Realm's divine avatars can't sense him."

"He is a master of the Death Rule, naturally more familiar with soul‑seeds than us; trying to find him through that is impossible."

Gaisu Reisun thought for a moment and said, "Then we will issue a bounty in the Nether Realm: anyone who provides clues about Xiao En will be rewarded ten drops of Lord God's Power by our Four Beast Clan."

"Yes, thank you, clan leader," Buweit added, "Xiao En's strength may be hard to counter with numbers; we might need to summon the ancestors' messenger."

"Alright, go to Tower Mountain, say I agreed. When he goes to the Nether Realm, you handle finding people, he handles killing," Gaisu Reisun said indifferently.
