Coiling Dragon: An Unconventional Transcendence.
Chapter 508: Public OutrageOn this day, all the Sovereigns were stunned.
Chief Sovereign Linley suddenly erupted with powerful killing intent, directly calling out the name of Light Chief Sovereign Augusta. He tore open a spatial rift in the Infernal Realm and traveled through the spatial turbulence, flying toward the Light God Plane at his fastest speed.
All the Sovereigns whose divine senses noticed this could feel the killing intent in Linley's voice.
Earlier, they had not understood why Chief Sovereign Linley was so angry. But after the Destruction Sovereigns of the Infernal Realm explained the situation, every one of them immediately sucked in a cold breath.
Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff and Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had actually treated Chief Sovereign Linley like a monkey and toyed with him!
It was fortunate that Chief Sovereign Linley possessed enough strength to kill Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and could even somewhat resist Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
If it had been any of them instead, they could probably only have swallowed this bitter outcome in frustration.
After the Destruction Sovereigns spread the news, many of the Sovereigns now feared Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff from the bottom of their hearts.
At the same time, they were also thankful that above Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, there were still Chief Sovereign Death and Lord Locke.
Otherwise, they did not dare imagine what kind of world they would have to live in.
Do not forget that when the great Sovereign war after the War of Faith began, it was Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff who secretly revealed that a Sovereign's strength could increase tenfold by refining one additional Sovereign spark.
If Chief Sovereign Death had not acted forcefully at that time, directly extracted the aura from that message, and decisively killed Thunder Sovereign Hurley before establishing the Sovereign Agreement, things would have been very different.
At the time, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had even argued that he had learned this information by accident and had wanted to warn the Sovereigns to be careful, lest they unknowingly fall victim to another Sovereign's schemes and become nourishment for that Sovereign's advancement.
Now that they looked at it, the truth might not have been like that at all.
Combined with the series of actions Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had taken during Chief Sovereign Locke's rise, the Sovereigns could now be certain that Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was absolutely not the "good old man" he had presented himself as all these years.
What worried everyone even more was that, according to Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred, in order to comprehend the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had secretly lent his soul-defense Overgod artifact to Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, using Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's hands to kill the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
After the corpses of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns were taken away by Beirut to the Yulan Continent, he had even launched a hunt across eleven planes for the members of the Four Divine Beasts clan.
The purpose was to refine the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns from the bodies of the Four Divine Beasts clan members.
No Sovereign would think that Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred was joking.
Although only Chief Sovereign Linley, the Life Chief Sovereign, and the Light Chief Sovereign had watched the battle between Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff ten thousand years ago from within the spatial turbulence, the divine senses of the other Sovereigns had also spread over to observe.
In that battle, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had indeed, just like Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred, taken out the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns and unleashed a fused innate divine ability that was completely different from Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred's.
Everyone knew that the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns in Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred's possession was the price Beirut had paid in exchange for the Destruction Chief Sovereign's protection. Its origin was legitimate.
Then there was a problem with the origin of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns in Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's possession.
Thus, Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred's account became much more credible.
Therefore, many of the Sovereigns harbored resentment toward Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
After all, before the Sovereign War, many Sovereigns had possessed other divine clones.
But after the message from Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff triggered the Sovereign War, the divine clones of the older generation of Sovereigns had all been quietly killed.
A divine clone was equivalent to another life. Losing several lives for no reason was one thing if they did not know who the culprit was. But now that they knew all of this had been caused by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, their resentment finally had somewhere to be directed.
A group of Sovereigns flew out from the various God Realms and gathered behind Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred.
There was nothing else they could do.
Even if they harbored resentment in their hearts, the difference in strength was too great. Their resentment was probably not even worth mentioning to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
They even had to worry about whether Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff would secretly attack them because of their resentment.
Just like the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
They probably never imagined before their deaths that the ultimate cause of their deaths would not be the Wind Chief Sovereign whom they had formed a mortal feud with, but merely a thought from Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
Among the many Sovereigns, quite a few were divine beasts or special lifeforms.
None of them could guarantee that Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff would not target their bloodlines in the future.
If Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff really set his sights on them, their fate would not be much better than that of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
It was not as though they could compare with the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
Lord Orloff was a research fanatic. This was a fact known by everyone.
Back then, in order to create a cultivation technique capable of strengthening the body to the level of a Sovereign artifact, he had practically researched all the special lifeforms that existed in the Magicr Universe at the time.
Who could guarantee that they would not become one of Lord Orloff's research materials in the future?
If the day really came when Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff became interested in them, would they still be alive?
Of course, if Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff personally took action, these Sovereigns would not be afraid.
As the highest-ranked Rule Sovereign, if Orloff dared to personally intervene, they believed that whether it was Chief Sovereign Death or Lord Locke, they would make Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff understand the consequences of violating the Sovereign Agreement.
Thunder Sovereign Hurley was already an example for Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff to learn from.
However, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff also had quite a few Sovereigns of different ranks under his command.
Just as when Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff wanted to deal with the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns at the Chief Sovereign level, he had Light Chief Sovereign Augusta take action.
If Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff set his sights on another Sovereign's bloodline, he would inevitably have a Sovereign of the same rank take action.
Although Sovereigns of the other ranks did not possess the same level of dominance over their respective ranks that Light Chief Sovereign Augusta possessed among the Law Sovereigns, once their numbers increased, being surrounded and attacked would still leave one with nowhere to escape.
Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had truly incurred the wrath of everyone!
The only thing that could make everyone feel at ease was to eliminate the existence of Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
Now that Chief Sovereign Linley was attacking Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, they could not have been more pleased.
Based on the strength Chief Sovereign Linley had displayed several tens of thousands of years ago, he could easily kill Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.
However, compared with Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, he was still far weaker.
If an ordinary Sovereign attacked Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, everyone would basically have no hope.
After becoming a Sovereign and fusing five Profound Mysteries of the Laws, the strength of the various Sovereigns no longer had any room to increase.
They were not geniuses capable of completely fusing the Profound Mysteries of the Laws and becoming Paragons.
But the one taking action this time was Chief Sovereign Linley, whom Chief Sovereign Locke had said possessed the qualifications to "grow to his level."
Although only several tens of thousands of years had passed, if it were Chief Sovereign Linley, perhaps he really could defeat Lord Orloff.
The Sovereigns had not forgotten that the reason Chief Sovereign Linley learned that he had been deceived by Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was because he had learned the truth from Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred.
And Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred had invited Chief Sovereign Linley under the pretext of "exchanging knowledge about the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns."
What this meant was something the Sovereigns could not fail to understand.
Only if Chief Sovereign Linley had already successfully comprehended the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns from their divine beast blood essence would he be qualified to accept Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred's invitation and exchange knowledge about the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns with him.
Thus, both Chief Sovereign Linley and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff now possessed the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, meaning that Chief Sovereign Linley would at least not be completely powerless to resist Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.
As for whether Chief Sovereign Linley had made even greater improvements in other areas, the Sovereigns did not know.
...
"Is the battle between Linley and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff about to begin?"
Within the Netherworld, Locke opened his eyes on Death Chief Sovereign's divine throne.
After looking at the spatial passage radiating seven-colored light before him, Locke shook his head and abandoned the thought of calling out the Sovereigns of the Locke lineage.
At present, the souls of Death Chief Sovereign and the others were already close to being completely repaired by the embryonic universe he had opened up. If he let them out at this time, all their previous efforts would inevitably be wasted.
If they lost this opportunity to repair their souls, they would have to spend countless years and enormous effort afterward to complete the transformation of their souls.
The Luomeng Universe had already been completely perfected. Without using time acceleration, in perhaps another hundred thousand years or so, life would begin to be nurtured within the Luomeng Universe.
At that time, Locke would send Death Chief Sovereign and the others, whose souls had completed their transformation, into his universe, allowing them to enjoy the benefits brought by the birth of the first batch of lifeforms in the Luomeng Universe.
If he caused Death Chief Sovereign and the others to lose all their previous efforts over such a minor matter, it would absolutely not be worth it for them.
Furthermore, Locke himself was still here.
When Linley and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff fought, he could use "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" to record their battle.
Later, when Death Chief Sovereign and the others reached the stage of fusing four different Laws' Profound Mysteries in their cultivation, he could reproduce this battle image for them to watch.
Locke was even currently developing "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" toward a higher level.
Perhaps by the time Death Chief Sovereign and the others needed it, Locke would already be able to fuse their souls with the soul of Linley or Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff within Mirror Flower, Water Moon, allowing them to personally experience the fusion of four different Laws' Profound Mysteries and the sensation of facing an opponent who had fused four different Laws' Profound Mysteries.
"However, Linley's current strength still has some distance from Orloff."
Locke lightly tapped his index finger against the armrest of the divine throne.
Ten thousand years ago, the battle between Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had allowed Linley to learn just how powerful the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns was.
Therefore, after resolving the matter concerning his mother Lina, Linley had obtained the remaining Sovereign blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts from Beirut and begun researching it.
Although Linley had started researching the divine beast blood essence much later than Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Linley had his own unique advantages.
That was because Linley himself was a member of the Four Divine Beasts clan, and he possessed the Azure Dragon Sovereign's innate divine ability, "Dragon Roar."
With his own experience, combined with the fact that Linley's soul was now far stronger than those of Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, it had taken Linley only a few thousand years to comprehend the innate divine abilities of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
He then spent another thousand years and ultimately comprehended the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, using the Azure Dragon Sovereign's blood essence as the primary component.
It could be said that although the fused innate divine ability comprehended by Linley differed from the one used by the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, the difference was not very great.
Both were centered around the Azure Dragon, with the innate divine abilities of the other three divine beasts serving as support. It could be called the strongest "soul attack" technique in the Magicr Universe.
If it were an ordinary person, even Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred, Linley could rely on this technique to gain a certain advantage in battle.
But Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was different.
Aside from possessing strength a notch greater than Linley's, Orloff was the only Sovereign who had gathered all three of the Overgod artifacts.
The fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns could not break through the defenses of the Overgod artifacts. Even if Linley's strength was a hundred times greater than that of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, because of the limit of the fused innate divine ability, it was still impossible for him to break through the defense of an Overgod artifact.
If the current Linley fought Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, he absolutely could not be Orloff's opponent.
Linley might even be killed by Orloff.
"Should I intervene?"
This thought appeared in Locke's mind.
But immediately afterward, Locke suppressed it.
Back when Linley violated the rules of the Magicr Universe, Locke had already intervened once.
At that time, Locke had already said that he would only intervene on Linley's behalf once.
Since he had said it, Locke naturally would not go against his own word.
However, simply watching Linley fall was also contrary to Locke's expectations.
Then how could he allow Linley to survive at the hands of Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff?
"I've got it!"
Very quickly, Locke came up with a plan.
Immediately, Locke's soul power spread out, covering the entire Magicr Universe.
"Rip!"
Locke raised his right hand and gently extended it toward the space before him. The space of the Netherworld was directly pierced through by Locke's right hand.
Then Locke's right hand reached deep into the spatial rift, and his five fingers clenched!
When Locke withdrew his hand from the spatial rift, there was already a seven-colored, rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand.
A Sovereign.
A Sovereign spark!
Furthermore, judging from the Laws fluctuations radiating from this Sovereign spark, it was a Wind Sovereign spark!
That's right. This was the method Locke had thought of.
If he wanted to allow Linley to survive at the hands of Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, then all he had to do was increase Linley's strength.
