The situation escalated, and the turmoil stirred up by the Four Divine Beast Family began to spread outwards from the Infernal Realm.
More and more local powers were dealt devastating blows, leaving the remnants of these forces no choice but to flee to other cities.
Unfortunately, they didn't enjoy peace for long before the cities they sought refuge in were visited by the next wave from the Four Divine Beast Family.
Challenging the City Lord, allocating city resources, and squeezing out the living space for other families…
If the Sovereign Legions of each city did not belong to the Four Divine Beast Family's Sovereign Legion, these local forces might not have been able to escape at all.
They could only migrate to more remote Small Cities.
However, the contingency plans laid out by the Four Divine Beast Family had taken effect.
Powerful fluctuations erupted in countless previously unknown Small Cities.
The city walls, which had been tainted by Sovereign Power, and the magic arrays inscribed within them, caused these remnant forces to suffer greatly.
Even if they managed to break into the city, they would be repelled by a group wielding Sovereign Power.
For a time, these remaining local forces could only band together, forming Tribes to obtain resources for survival and cultivation.
More of them descended upon the dangerous territories of the Infernal Realm, becoming bandits and preying on passing travelers.
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The speeding Metal Life sliced through the air, emitting a faint whistling sound.
And in the mountain range ahead, a pair of hateful eyes imprinted the appearance of this Metal Life.
Hundreds of kilometers away from these mountains, there were dozens of stone houses and several hundred people, both men and women.
It looked like a miniature settlement.
"Father, Father…"
A young man suddenly rushed out of a room, hurrying towards the largest house.
Inside was a simple conference hall, containing only a stone table and a dozen stone stools arranged around it.
At the head of the hall sat a burly man with fiery red hair.
Seeing the youth burst in, the red-haired man asked, "Hm? Ted, what is it?"
"Father, I saw a Metal Life belonging to the Four Divine Beast Family."
"What?"
The middle-aged man with fiery red hair abruptly stood up from his seat and grabbed his son by the collar, "Where?"
"It's, it's near the Kerkla Mountain Range. Judging by their direction of travel, they're heading towards Fengyan Prefecture on the Purple Thistle Continent, less than 300 kilometers from us."
"Three hundred kilometers…"
The red-haired middle-aged man released his grip on his son's clothes and paced back and forth in the hall.
A few seconds later, he gritted his teeth, "Ted, go and summon all the elders of our family."
"Alright, Father."
Soon, a dozen people were brought to the hall by the youth.
Each of them exuded a powerful aura.
All of them were High-level Gods.
"Patriarch, did you call us here so urgently for something important?"
"Mm."
"Ted just told me that a Metal Life from the Four Divine Beast Family is approaching, about 300 kilometers away."
"What? The Four Divine Beast Family?"
As soon as the middle-aged man with fiery red hair uttered this, the dozen elders below instantly changed their expressions.
Among them were anger, killing intent, shock, and also, fear.
Their clan was originally a prominent family in Sunset City, possessing five elders with the strength of Six-star Devils and thirty-four elders with the strength of Five-star Devils. Their Patriarch, Korklav, was an even more powerful figure with a strength reaching the level of a Seven-star Demon. In Sunset City, even the City Lord had to show them some respect.
However, over 300 years ago, Sunset City underwent a drastic change. A Seven-star Demon from the Four Divine Beast Family challenged the City Lord of Sunset City and ultimately used Sovereign Power to kill the original City Lord, becoming the new City Lord.
Afterward, with the tacit approval of the new City Lord, the Four Divine Beast Family aggressively coerced the families within Sunset City, forcing them to become subordinate families under the Four Divine Beast Family.
On that day, a great battle broke out in Sunset City. Korklav led his clansmen out of Sunset City and fled to this place.
Under the pursuit of the Four Divine Beast Family, their clan suffered heavy losses, with fewer than 400 survivors.
Even their elders suffered casualties: two Six-star Devils and seven Five-star Devils perished.
Fortunately, one of the Six-star Devil elders still had his Saint Realm true body, and after refining a Godhead, his strength recovered.
However, another elder was left with only a God Divine Clone, and his strength plummeted.
"The humiliation our family suffered in Sunset City must be repaid with the blood of the Four Divine Beast Family."
"Therefore, I want to annihilate this team of the Four Divine Beast Family. Who here agrees? Who opposes?"
"This…"
Hearing the Patriarch say this, the dozen or so elders looked at each other.
"Patriarch, it's not that we don't want revenge, but the Four Divine Beast Family has too much Sovereign Power. With the amplification of Sovereign Power, we'd just be walking to our deaths."
"Esteemed elders, according to the intelligence we've gathered over the years, most of the Metal Life from the Four Divine Beast Family are led by Six-star Devils, with only a small portion led by Seven-star Devils."
"The one that Sunset City encountered was a team led by a Seven-star Devil."
"And this Metal Life likely belongs to a team led by a Six-star Devil."
"A Six-star Devil using Sovereign Power can indeed match me in a short period, but once their Sovereign Power is depleted, they are no match for me."
"Moreover, we aren't the only ones who possess Sovereign Power!"
With that, Korklav produced a spatial ring.
"This is a spatial ring I seized after killing a member of the Four Divine Beast Family in Sunset City. Fortunately, this fellow didn't have any Divine Clones."
Korklav's divine sense moved, drawing out the fiery-red Sovereign Power from the spatial ring.
"There are seven drops of Sovereign Power here. I'll keep three, and each of the four Six-star Devil elders will get one drop."
"When the time comes, we will all use Sovereign Power and strive to eliminate this team of the Four Divine Beast Family in the shortest possible time."
"Think about it, by killing just one member of the Four Divine Beast Family, we obtained seven drops of Sovereign Power. So, after eliminating this entire team, how much Sovereign Power can we obtain?"
"Let's do it!"
As soon as Korklav finished speaking, several elders stood up and shouted.
"Hahaha, excellent! As expected of the elders of our Yul Family, you've got spirit."
Korklav was overjoyed. He drew the four drops of fiery-red Sovereign Power floating in the air towards the four Six-star Devil elders, then collected the remaining three drops of Sovereign Power into the spatial ring.
"Esteemed elders, there's no time to delay. Let's depart now!"
