The Eight Great Families' people were surrounded and besieged by Sadius, Lomio, and the Four Divine Beast clan.
Because many Six-Star Fiends had already died, at this point the Eight Great Families had lost their ability to resist.
"Both of you, if you no longer interfere in today's matters, then what just happened can be written off."
In their eyes, Sadius and Lomio had killed a group of Six-Star Fiends from the Eight Great Families, so they had already offended them.
Now they were willing to let bygones be bygones, hoping only that Sadius and Lomio would no longer intervene. They felt the Eight Great Families were already giving these two enough face.
But they had completely misunderstood.
They were the ones who had taken the initiative to attack Sadius and his group, and now they still wanted to threaten Sadius and Lomio.
Sadius and Lomio both laughed in anger.
Even at the brink of death, these people still didn't understand where they went wrong.
"Hmph. We were merely passing through, and you immediately attacked us. Did you think we were easy to bully?"
The other members of the Eight Great Families were shocked as well. So they were…just passing through?
"Honored sirs, this matter is indeed our Eight Great Families' fault. We hope that on account of our patriarchs, you can spare us."
This group of people pleaded for mercy while fending off attacks.
At this time, their combined strength was still slightly superior to that of the Four Divine Beast clan's forces—but with Sadius and Lomio joining in, they were forced to turtle up in a tight defensive formation.
"Patriarchs of the Eight Great Families? Never heard of them," Sadius said lightly.
The patriarchs of the Eight Great Families were not weak; they were all emissaries of various Sovereigns from their planes.
Otherwise, the Eight Great Families wouldn't have come from various planes to the Infernal Realm in order to besiege the Four Divine Beast clan.
As for the fact that the Eight Great Families' patriarchs were Sovereign emissaries…
Sadius couldn't care less.
The Eight Great Families' members all turned ashen-faced with despair.
They hadn't expected to offend this kind of powerhouse—Sadius and Lomio.
It seemed there was no way they were leaving safely today.
A mutual destruction mindset began to take root.
Finally, one Seven-Star Fiend made the decision:
"You all go! I'll hold them back!"
That Seven-Star Fiend once more ignited a drop of Sovereign power.
This was his last remaining drop of Sovereign power.
Earlier, during his fight with Sadius, he had already used one drop. Now he was using another—clearly resolved for a mutual-destruction outcome.
The others wanted to dissuade him, but he directly barked them down.
If they continued like this, they would all die.
Seeing this, the rest immediately began breaking through the encirclement.
"Brothers, we can't let them escape! Whoever has Sovereign power—use it!"
The Four Divine Beast clan's Seven-Star Fiends all brought out their own Sovereign power. Today, they were determined to leave none of the Eight Great Families' elites alive.
This was too rare of an opportunity—they absolutely had to kill as many enemies as possible today.
If they won today, it would be a tremendous victory, and the clan's rewards would be incredibly rich.
Moreover, they could cripple the Eight Great Families' strength. Naturally, they were delighted.
Immediately, the surrounding space erupted with waves of Sovereign power.
The Seven-Star Fiend who intended mutual destruction thought he had already gauged Sadius' strength.
Now, with no regard for his life, he charged over.
"Hmph. If throwing your life away was enough to win, what need would there be for training and enlightenment?"
Sadius changed the divine sword in his hand—this time, it was the Amethyst God Sword.
This time he unleashed the World-Destroying Sword Intent with full force.
A colossal phantom greatsword appeared, its sword light tearing apart space, shaking Heaven and Earth.
Everyone was stunned by this one sword strike.
This level of attack—even the patriarchs of the Eight Great Families, or the Four Divine Beast clan's clan leaders and Grand Elders, even with Sovereign power—couldn't achieve such an effect.
The Seven-Star Fiend who had chosen mutual destruction now realized how laughable his decision was.
"You… you're a Great Perfection?" he couldn't help but ask.
No one answered his question.
The space-rending greatsword was already descending.
A Seven-Star Fiend instantly perished.
This time, Sadius reacted swiftly, catching the Divine Spark and spatial ring—not letting them be swallowed by the chaotic spatial turbulence like before.
Lomio, standing to the side, watched this sword strike and felt an even fiercer desire to grow stronger surge within him.
He too wanted to obtain a true Sovereign artifact.
Meanwhile, the Four Divine Beast clan's elites also achieved victory in their siege against the Eight Great Families' Highgods.
Every Six-Star Fiend was killed.
Three Seven-Star Fiends also died.
Only two Seven-Star Fiends, who specialized in speed, managed to escape the encirclement with injuries, relying on the amplification of Sovereign power.
Seeing two Seven-Star Fiends escape, they knew they couldn't catch up and gave up the pursuit.
"Honored sirs, thank you for your assistance. The Four Divine Beast clan is endlessly grateful. Might we invite you both to the Skyrite Mountain Range as our guests? The clan's four Patriarchs will certainly offer generous gifts in gratitude."
The leading Seven-Star Fiend of the Four Divine Beast clan couldn't be more delighted.
His divine clone had already notified Patriarch Gailson, and the Azure Dragon Patriarch had immediately sent a message to the other three Patriarchs.
All four unanimously decided to invite Sadius and Lomio.
A Shura, and someone suspected to be at Great Perfection…these two had actually lent a hand to the Four Divine Beast clan.
They must be won over.
If they could bring these powerhouses to their side, the Four Divine Beast clan's strength would surpass the Eight Great Families, and they would no longer need to hide in the Skyrite Mountain Range.
"We appreciate your kindness, but we are heading to Indigo City to pay a visit to Lord Beirut. We'll visit the Skyrite Mountain Range when we have time."
That Seven-Star Fiend could only sigh inwardly.
So these men were Beirut's guests.
In the Skyrite Mountain Range.
Gailson learned of the situation through that Seven-Star Fiend Elder's divine clone.
"You all—those Seven-Star Fiends present—gather all the Sovereign power you have and present it to these two experts. We must establish ties with them."
Afterward, the few Seven-Star Fiends before Sadius discussed briefly.
Then, one by one, they took out small bottles from their spatial rings.
All the small bottles were collected into the hands of the leader.
"Honored sirs, these five drops of Sovereign power are a small token of our Patriarch's goodwill. This is all the Sovereign power we have on us. We hope you will accept it all."
Sadius hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
Though it was only five drops of Sovereign power, it was still extremely precious.
It seemed the Four Divine Beast clan's Patriarchs truly wanted to befriend him.
Then borrowing the Dragon Pool in the future shouldn't be difficult.
"Everyone, this is perfect. This time, I've brought a few descendants of your Azure Dragon clan. Since I've encountered you here, why don't I have them go back with you now?"
With that, Sadius sent a mental message to have the metallic lifeform fly over.
Soon, several Dragonblood Warriors of the Baruch clan walked out of the metallic lifeform, led by Jason Baruch.
"Jason, this is the main branch of your Baruch clan here in Infernal Realm—the legendary Azure Dragon branch of the Four Divine Beast clan."
Jason looked at the Seven-Star Fiend before him, unable to restrain his excitement.
The leading Seven-Star Fiend gazed at the few Saint-level Dragonblood Warriors.
"You're the descendants of my Azure Dragon clan? Then, can you perform our Azure Dragon clan's Dragonform Transformation?"
Jason nodded and immediately transformed together with his descendants.
"Haha! As expected, you're indeed our Azure Dragon clan's descendants. Which plane do you come from?"
"Lord, we come from the Yulan Plane."
"The Yulan Plane? A material plane? How could we still have clan members in a material plane?" The Seven-Star Fiend was also very puzzled.
