Chapter 78: Assassinating the Four Beast Clan

The black shadow standing in the Lord God's presence slowly rose and asked, "How many masters are accompanying?"

The person below replied, "Not many. This is just a normal clan members' trip to the city for purchase or residence. Though there are no masters, there are many Supreme Deities; according to the Four Beast Clan's usual pattern, Supreme Deities generally possess Lord God's Power."

The black shadow sighed, "Finally they appear. We've waited hundreds of years. Bu Luo, are you ready?"

The person was naturally Bahe, the head of the Ming Snake Clan. After the Divine Avatar in the Qingyuan Plane received the Lord God's command, he began mobilizing the clan's elite to the midpoint between Xue Long Valley and Hai Li City;

Since they were all masters, the number was only a few hundred, a perfectly normal size in the Nether Realm. Even the powerful Four Beast Clan would not focus on such a small group, so they remained stable for several hundred years;

Meanwhile, the Ming Snake's informants within the Four Beast Clan continued gathering intel; the core target was a Supreme Deity named Alfangsi, about when he would depart for Hai Li City. Such matters are common in Xue Long Valley; someone always needs to go to the city.

Bu Luo replied, "Father, the Four Beast Clan killed my brothers and sisters. Naturally I want to tear them apart, but father, I don't understand—haven't you always been patient? Why strike the Four Beast Clan now?"

Bahe sighed, "You don't need to know the reasons inside. Before we act, you still have one final chance: go with the other clan members to the Material Plane, where you can keep safe;"

"Once we move, the Four Beast Clan may send people to watch us; then leaving will be difficult."

The Lord God has already given the Ming Snake Clan a final retreat: go to a Material Plane. Though it's not the plane where the Lord God resides, the Ming Snake has received a guarantee of safety;

Yet the core of his own clan, Bu Luo, refuses to go; the hatred between his clan and the Four Beast Clan is simply too great.

"No. Father, since you decided to stay, I will too. I, Bu Luo, do not fear death." Bu Luo's tone was resolute.

"At least I still have a Divine Avatar; you do not. If you die, it's truly death." Bahe also understood his son's stubbornness.

Bu Luo laughed, "Fine, if the strongest Divine Avatar dies, what's the point of the weak surviving?"

"Alright, here's 100 drops of Death Lord God's Power. Keep it." Seeing his son's resolve, Bahe did not press further and sent a bottle, controlled by divine power, over.

Bu Luo was shocked, his Divine Sense also sensed the Lord God's Power in the small bottle, and asked in surprise, "Father, you gave me so much Lord God's Power?"

As the Lord God's emissary clan, the Ming Snake still possessed a bit of Lord God's Power, but in very small amounts; a typical Seven‑Star Demon has only two or three drops, while Bu Luo's kind gets slightly more;

This explains why in the conflict with the Four Beast Clan, even if the opponent is a group of ordinary Supreme Deities, as long as they use Lord God's Power, our side can easily collapse; only peak masters' deterrence prevents annihilation.

Bahe replied, "You don't need to worry about that. Remember, only you may act, because the Four Beast members joining the trip all have Lord God's Power. If we also send many, we'd have to use Lord God's Power;"

"If we overuse our Lord God's Power, it becomes abnormal, so only you, the peak Seven‑Star Demon, may act. With Lord God's Power, you can easily kill those ordinary Four Beast Clan Supreme Deities;"

"But remember, Alfangsi cannot be killed, only soul‑seeded, then sent to the Four Beast Clan branch in Hai Li City to report safety, and pretend to stay for a while; I have further plans later."

"Yes, father." Bu Luo found his father's arrangement somewhat odd, and was deep in thought.

His father prepares to strike the Four Beast Clan and now has abundant Lord God's Power—could there be Lord God support behind it?

At this thought, Bu Luo felt sudden tension and some excitement; if his clan also had Lord God support, they could thoroughly teach the Four Beast Clan a lesson;

At least, the Four Beast Clan's strength in the Nether Realm, without Lord God's Power, might not surpass the Ming Snake Clan.

In the Qingyuan Plane, Bahe of the Ming Snake visited Xiao En: "Lord God, Alfangsi has emerged; I have already arranged Bu Luo to lie in ambush."

"Bu Luo?" Xiao En recalled a character from the original work and said, "Alright, after capturing Alfangsi, send him to the designated Material Plane."

"Yes, Lord God." Bahe replied.

Xiao En added, "The people I assign to you should first hide, allowing them to train and coordinate; they may be of great use in the future."

For centuries, Xiao En's Lord God Divine Avatar, using Divine Sense, visited each Material Plane to locate masters of Six‑Star Demon rank or higher, then soul‑seeded them and sent them to the Nether Realm;

However, the chance of such masters being born on a Material Plane is very low, so only about twenty were found, some only at Two‑Integration level but possessing special divine‑beast abilities, barely qualifying.

Bahe tentatively asked, "I've arranged family‑mode training among them, but Lord God, should we grant them Lord God's Power? Once soul‑seeded individuals use Lord God's Power, aren't they—"

Peak masters of the Divine Plane know that the Death Rule can control people but has a usage limit; when a controlled person uses Lord God's Power, it imposes massive soul pressure on the soul‑seeder.

Thus, peak Death Rule masters find that sending soul‑seeded fighters in battles yields low cost‑effectiveness, because the opponent has Lord God's Power while your soul‑seeded person cannot use it; the mystical gap is huge, making it essentially a one‑hit kill.

Xiao En smiled lightly, "Just give them Lord God's Power and keep this to ourselves; tell others they are people who bear a grudge against the Four Beast Clan."

In fact, Great Perfection or the Lord God are the same; soul‑seeding also has limits, relying on the special ability of Soul Pearls. Otherwise, in the original's final ten‑victory grand battle, the Death Lord Gods and Death God‑level peak warriors across all planes combined would have only soul‑seeded three hundred Seven‑Star Demons;

But as the sole Great Perfection existence between heaven and earth, I can explain it this way and need others to believe;

Thus, with many Seven‑Star and Six‑Star Demons using Lord God's Power against the Four Beast Clan, it shows they are "voluntary" rather than being soul‑seeded by others.

Bahe hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord God."

In the Nether Realm, within a valley between Xue Long Valley and Hai Li City, a cyan dragon‑shaped metal lifeform flew overhead;

Anyone with some wandering experience in the Nether Realm can instantly recognize this as the unique metal lifeform of the Four Beast Clan's Azure Dragon Clan; many bandits scattered at once, as if avoiding plague. In this Divine Plane, aside from militia and the Lord God's army, the Four Beast Clan is the most untouchable.

"They run quite fast."

Inside the metal lifeform, a blond Supreme Deity sneered.

A nearby Supreme Deity laughed, "Martin, those bandits are just bad, not stupid. Seeing our Four Beast Clan's metal lifeform and still approaching—that's courting death?"

"If you want to tease them, we could turn the metal lifeform into an ordinary one; many bandits might fall for it and attack us."

Before the words finished, a "Boom~" rang, and the metal lifeform explosively burst, a terrifying force erupting nearby, countless soul attacks shooting directly at the Four Beast clan members inside.

"It's Lord God's Power, everyone use yours quickly." Martin hesitated not at all, immediately employing a drop of Water‑type Lord God's Power and instantly transmitting the signal.

But it was clearly too late; the opponent's Lord God's Power sneak attack, with a massive disparity, a group‑wide soul attack killed hundreds of our Supreme Deities.

Even though they reacted quickly, it was insufficient; half the Supreme Deities were slain, while the larger number of mid‑rank deities were left untouched by the enemy.

At this moment, hundreds of people above the sky radiated terrifying Lord God's Power; the massive energy was felt far away.

"Lord God's Power? This much?" Inside a distant metal lifeform, many Supreme Deities were stunned.

Lord God's Power is so noble that even many Six‑Star Demons have only heard of it; seeing it even once is rare, only glimpsed occasionally in the shadows of master battles. Unexpectedly, now hundreds around me are wielding it.

"My god, at least 200 people used Lord God's Power. It must be the Lord God's clan. Water‑type masters, quickly record the shadows; this can fetch a high price."

Many Water‑type masters acted immediately; the shadow footage of Lord God's Power duels is highly valuable, let alone the massive amount present now.

At the battle's center, Bu Luo was unhurried, coldly laughing, "The Four Beast Clan truly lives up to its name; their Lord God's Power is abundant."

"Who are you, daring to attack my Four Beast Clan?" Martin asked, his face turning ashen.

The opponent's immediate use of Lord God's Power shows preparation, but why target our group? The strongest among us is only me, a Five‑Star Demon; this was merely an ordinary clan trip to the city.

Bu Luo also saw the surrounding crowd; this is a thoroughfare, impossible to stay unnoticed, yet we can't linger. He coldly laughed, "Your Four Beast Clan has offended many, hahaha. Today I will give you a good lesson."

Having said that, his figure flashed and he charged in.

"Arrogant~, soul attack." Martin immediately ordered, "With so many of us wielding Lord God's Power and so many outside recording shadows, the Four Beast Clan cannot retreat."

Hundreds of soul attacks were launched at the incoming Bro, but Bro's speed was extremely fast; after a few looping trajectories, he evaded most of the soul attacks, a few struck him, and he showed no reaction.

Since everyone was using Primordial God's Power, it was as if none were needed; he, a peak Seven-Star Demon, was hit by the soul attacks of a few ordinary High‑ranking Deities, and naturally suffered no effect.

Martin's face turned sour; he also knew this person's strength was great, so he ordered again: "Everyone, use your Innate Divine Skill, then unleash the strongest attack."

A multitude of Azure Dragon phantoms, interspersed with a few White Tiger and Vermilion Bird phantoms, instantly appeared behind their group; several strange forces intertwined and struck around Bro.

"Hahaha~~, the divine skill is indeed wondrous, but unfortunately its power is too weak," Bro laughed out loud.

The Four Beast Clan's Innate Divine Skill is indeed marvelous, but it depends on who wields it; those of Seven‑Star caliber or with strong bloodline innate talent unleash terrifying power, yet such beings are few even within the Four Beast Clan.

Most High‑ranking Deities of the Four Beast Clan can only exert superficial power; without sufficient Primordial God's Power, they are no different from ordinary clan troops.

"Boom boom boom~~" After shaking off a bit of the Innate Divine Skill's effect, Bro easily slaughtered the Four Beast Clan's High‑ranking Deities.

Martin saw this and thought grimly; he also knew this person must be a master above Seven‑Star level, so he quickly transmitted: "Everyone, run."

After all, this sortie wasn't a formal army, as none was needed; in countless billions of years, few have dared attack the Four Beast Clan, and they didn't expect this group to encounter them.

With Martin's command, the other High‑ranking Deities, seeing their comrades fall one after another, scattered in panic, leaving only a bewildered group of Mid‑ranking and Low‑ranking Deities.

Bro naturally wouldn't slaughter these people, and he lacked the time, so he locked onto a direction and pursued directly.

In the distance, AlFangsi flew at high speed; he had once been a Six‑Star Demon, but was killed centuries ago, giving him abundant combat experience. Seeing Bro's speed, he knew these non‑army members could never win, so he had previously tried to avoid initiating attacks.

But after everyone scattered, he discovered that the strong opponent was actually following his direction; AlFangsi cried out that things were bad, and in the face of an absolute speed gap, he was quickly caught up.

"Sir, we bear no grudges, why chase me? I'm not a strong one of the Four Beast Clan," AlFangsi hurriedly transmitted.

"Haha, you want me not to kill you? Fine, make a supreme divine oath, then cooperate with me to hunt down the other members of the Four Beast Clan," Bro said coldly.

AlFangsi roared in anger: "You're dreaming."

"Hmph, I'll see how thick‑skinned your mouth is," Bro, unhurried, slowed his speed, intending to drain the opponent's Primordial God's Power.

Thus, the two chased each other; after a while, AlFangsi's Primordial God's Power was exhausted. Seeing Bro behind him, he was forced to use his last drop, thinking angrily: "When the people behind run out of Primordial God's Power, I will definitely kill him."

Bro saw the opponent use another drop of Primordial God's Power, sneered, and randomly prepared his next drop;

At this moment, he also understood the Four Beast Clan elders' bravado regarding Primordial God's Power—tens of drops, never worrying about shortage.

"Boom~" Bro quickly used another drop.

"What? He still uses it? To kill me, is it necessary?" AlFangsi was puzzled, feeling something was off, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, what is your purpose?"

Bro gave no reply; he himself didn't know, but being able to kill members of the Four Beast Clan was enough for him.

After a while, AlFangsi's Primordial God's Power was gone, so he stopped fleeing, as Bro had already blocked him.

"Whoosh~" Bro said nothing, delivering a mind‑confusing strike that stunned him, then produced a metal lifeform, glanced around, immediately flew into it, and then flew off in a direction.

Along the way, he circled around, swapping metal lifeforms in the night, and finally returned to his clan's temporary base.

The Dark Snake Bach had been waiting; upon seeing the unconscious AlFangsi, he said: "Very well, I will take him away now. You keep an eye on the Four Beast Clan's movements and see what their next reaction will be."

"Father, rest assured, they don't know who I am," Bro said with a smile.

Bach said: "Do not be careless; stay low for now. Relocate everyone here back, and don't rush to confront the Four Beast Clan yet."

Although they must deal with the Four Beast Clan, they shouldn't reveal their identities and clash so soon; keeping hidden early is best, since a real battle would cause heavy losses for the Dark Snake clan's experts, who are friends and relatives.

Moreover, their clan's base might be attacked, which would be undesirable, though the core members have already relocated.

Bro replied: "Yes, Father."
