Under the control of Roy's will, the Sovereign Power within his body transformed into divine sense, spreading out. In an instant, Roy perceived the entire Blood Peak Continent.
"This way."
The battle he sensed from his divine sense made Roy's expression grim. The killing intent emanating from him made the people of the Sovereign Legion around him feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Shelley was like a sandbag, being battered by Douglas's attacks and forced to retreat.
Puffs of blood sprayed from Shelley's mouth.
If not for the fire-red Sovereign Power on Shelley's body instantly healing her injuries, she would have already died under Douglas's assault.
This kind of battle had been going on for more than half a day.
It was just due to an oversight, failing to replenish the Sovereign Power after it was depleted, that Shelley's Fire Element Divine Clone was directly killed by Douglas.
The remaining Wind Element Divine Clone, possessing only the strength of a Five-star Devil, did not mesh well with the Fire Element Sovereign Power. Even with the use of Sovereign Power, it was no match for Douglas.
Even after Douglas also used Sovereign Power, Shelley had no power to fight back at all.
If not for the ample supply of Sovereign Power in her possession, she would have died long ago.
And what Shelley was thinking at this moment was not about killing Douglas, but about exhausting all the Sovereign Power in her spatial ring before her own death.
She absolutely would not allow someone like this to obtain the Sovereign Power in her spatial ring.
Otherwise, even more members of the Four Divine Beast Family would become fat sheep for others to obtain Sovereign Power from.
Over the past half-day, Shelley had used a drop of Sovereign Power almost every few hundred breaths.
As of now, there were less than fifty drops of Sovereign Power remaining in her spatial ring.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Douglas's eyes were blazing with fire as he furiously unleashed his attacks on Shelley.
It was this woman who caused his current operation to suffer heavy losses.
Over a hundred Demigods, more than twenty Gods, and three High-level Gods had perished, killed by this woman.
Of the forty-odd drops of Sovereign Power he had obtained, he had used more than thirty to kill her Fire Element Divine Clone.
The Sovereign Power in Shelley's spatial ring was already considered his by him.
However, this woman had, right under his nose, consumed over two hundred drops of Sovereign Power, causing Douglas such heartache that he couldn't breathe.
"Boom!"
Shelley blocked with her long sword, was sent flying by Douglas, and coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Unlike Chris, who was a novice without much combat experience, Shelley was an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family, having experienced countless battles, big and small.
In her fight with Douglas, Shelley would dodge and evade whenever possible. If she truly couldn't escape, she would endure having her limbs broken to buy time for the Sovereign Power to restore her divine body.
Therefore, although every blow from Douglas could leave Shelley severely injured and on the verge of death, he was unable to kill her with a single strike.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the dim fire-red light on Shelley's body flare up again, Douglas was furious. Gritting his teeth, he took out another drop of Fire Element Sovereign Power from his spatial ring.
A surging power emanated from Douglas, and a faint fire-red glow spread across his black and red long spear.
Glancing at his subordinates watching from a distance, a trace of ferocity appeared on Douglas's face.
This move was his ultimate trump card, which he had originally intended not to use.
But now, for the sake of the Sovereign Power in this woman's spatial ring, he had no choice but to use it.
If he delayed any longer, the Sovereign Power would likely be completely used up by this woman.
At worst, after killing this woman, he could just kill all those subordinates.
In any case, as long as he was still around, he could find any place and recruit new subordinates to form a new "Hell Scorpion."
"Boom!"
A massive purple scorpion figure materialized behind Douglas.
The dense Fire Element Sovereign Power dyed this phantom silhouette a purplish-red.
"Innate divine ability?"
This bandit leader, Douglas, was actually a divine beast?
"Is he going all out?"
Members of the Four Divine Beast Family, as long as they awakened their divine beast bloodline, could use innate divine abilities.
The Azure Dragon Clan's innate divine ability, "Dragon's Roar," could influence time, making it an extremely powerful ability for both combat and support.
The White Tiger Clan's innate divine ability, "Tiger's Roar," could shatter space, dealing powerful physical damage to enemies. Although it couldn't banish enemies, ordinary High-level Gods could possess an attack power close to that of a Seven-star Demon.
The Vermillion Bird Clan's innate divine ability, "Phoenix Cry," is a soul attack that burns the opponent's soul power. For every point of soul power burned, it consumes ten times the enemy's soul power.
However, this can be defended against by soul-defending divine artifacts, or negated by opposing soul attacks. Against opponents with soul attack abilities or soul-defending divine artifacts, its practicality is not very strong.
The Black Tortoise Clan's innate divine ability, "Turtle Howl," can bind space, trapping opponents in an area from which they cannot escape. The stronger the soul power, the stronger the spatial restraint.
Sovereign Power is indeed potent, but it can only enhance strength and restore the divine body; it cannot restore soul power.
Once Shelley used her innate divine ability and consumed a large amount of soul power, her own condition would decline. Would she still have time to recover her divine body then?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Vast soul power condensed at the tip of the massive purplish-red scorpion tail behind Douglas, forming a black poisonous needle.
"Soul Devouring Needle!"
"Phoenix Cry!"
Shelley's face paled. Behind her, the phantom of a Vermillion Bird appeared, its wings spread wide, letting out a clear cry.
The Vermillion Bird's cry collided with the rapidly shot-out Soul Devouring Needle. The Soul Devouring Needle ignited with roaring flames, emitting a "sizzling" sound. In an instant, the needle, about a meter long, was half burned away.
But unfortunately, the speed of the Soul Devouring Needle was not affected in the slightest. It flew swiftly towards Shelley.
Although the soul flame was still burning on the Soul Devouring Needle, with its flying speed, it would definitely reach Shelley before it was completely burned.
Within Shelley's heart, a fierce unwillingness flashed.
There were still over twenty drops of Sovereign Power left in her spatial ring.
If Chris hadn't followed her to the Infernal Realm and died here, she would have escaped long ago. How could she be foolishly fighting this bandit leader to the death here?
Having lived for so many years, Shelley had long understood that the ancestors of the Four Divine Beasts were supreme Lords of God, representing the greatest foundation of the Four Divine Beast families. They could provide abundant Sovereign Power, but they could not directly participate in battles between gods.
The only ones who could truly help the Four Divine Beast families were powerful experts like Elder Roy.
She hoped her death would appease Elder Roy's anger and prevent any rift between him and the family.
"Buzz!"
Just as Shelley thought she was about to die, she felt the surrounding space seem to freeze.
This feeling was akin to being enveloped by a God-level expert's Divine Domain in the Saint Realm, where one became utterly immobile.
The black Soul Devouring Needle hung motionlessly before Shelley's forehead. Shelley could even see the terrified expression on Douglas's face through the needle.
A hand then reached out and grasped the burning Soul Devouring Needle before Shelley's eyes.
Neither the flames on the Soul Devouring Needle nor the venom that could devour souls had any effect on this hand.
"Pop!"
With a gentle squeeze of this hand, the Soul Devouring Needle shattered like glass.
Douglas, on the other side, spat out a mouthful of blood as a backlash from his divine ability being broken.
"Roy, Elder Roy."
Only then did the surrounding space return to normal.
And Shelley naturally saw the two figures who had appeared before her.
"Lord Roy, it's him! He's the one who killed my Fire Element Divine Clone!"
At this moment, Chris had recovered from her fear. She pointed at Douglas, clutching Roy's hand, "Lord Roy, you must avenge me."
"Mm."
After nodding to Chris, Roy looked at Shelley, "Elder Shelley, are you alright?"
Shelley forced a smile, "I'm fine. Thank you for saving my life, Elder Roy."
"It's just that I failed to protect Chris's Divine Clone..."
Roy raised his hand, stopping Shelley's apology, "We'll discuss this later. Let me deal with these guys first."
...
"How is this possible? How can someone be this strong?"
At this moment, Douglas's intestines were green with regret.
He was a Seven-star Demon who had used Sovereign Power, and his innate divine ability was actually crushed by someone's bare hand?
And what was that feeling just now? It was so terrifying!
Could this guy be a Lord of God?
Hearing what the girl, who looked exactly like the first person he had killed except for her hair color, said, Douglas became even more terrified.
If he had known that such a terrifying individual was backing these people, let alone Sovereign Power, he wouldn't have dared to make a move even with a Lord God Artifact.
Instantly, Douglas's Sovereign Power erupted, and his speed reached its limit as he flew towards Iron Saber Gorge.
It was too terrifying.
The Infernal Realm was no longer safe!
Seeing their leader flee, the Hell Scorpion bandits knew they were in deep trouble. The surviving High-level God bandits immediately took to the skies and fled.
"Think you can escape?"
A cold glint flashed in Roy's eyes.
He glared—
"Twisted Demonic Eye!"
In an instant, the space where the High-level God bandits were located twisted like a vortex. Their divine bodies were twisted into knots by immense forces, and they screamed as they were swallowed by black spatial rifts that twisted and formed.
Then, Roy extended his right hand towards the fleeing Douglas.
"Universal Attraction!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Douglas was pulled back by Roy at an even faster speed than when he was fleeing. Roy then grabbed him by the neck.
"Sir, mistake, this is a misunderstanding..."
Douglas pleaded with Roy, tears streaming down his face.
...
There will be two more updates today. Lao Liu will work hard and strive to get them out before 6 PM.
