Coiling Dragon: An Unconventional Transcendence.

Linley still had a Wind divine clone that was not a Sovereign.

If he obtained another Wind Sovereign spark, Linley would possess Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire Sovereign divine clones.

By fusing the power of four Sovereigns, together with the Will Power brought by a Sovereign spark, Linley's strength could increase another hundredfold.

With that, Linley's strength in his normal state would surpass Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

Although he would still be unable to break through the defenses of an Overgod artifact and injure Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff would likewise be unable to do anything to Linley.

After making up his mind, the Sovereign spark in Locke's palm slowly floated into the air. It then transformed into a streak of light, pierced through the space before Locke, and flew into the spatial turbulence...

...

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Because he was too furious, the killing intent radiating from Linley directly stirred the spatial turbulence.

Light Chief Sovereign naturally sensed Linley's killing intent from within the Light God Realm as well.

At once, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's expression changed. He directly tore open a spatial rift in the Light God Realm, entered the spatial turbulence, and flew toward the direction of the Celestial Realm.

Although Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had been punished quite severely by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff ten thousand years ago and still had not recovered even after all these years, Augusta knew that the only person who could save him now was Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

"Damn it!"

Within the spatial turbulence, when Linley saw Light Chief Sovereign Augusta appear and fly toward the Celestial Realm, he could not help secretly regretting it.

If he had not been so impulsive and exposed his killing intent, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta would not have escaped so quickly.

If he had not revealed that he already knew about Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff deceiving him, and had secretly gone to the Light God Plane, he might have been able to kill Light Chief Sovereign Augusta before Augusta could react.

Now, however, he could only give chase!

Fortunately, Linley's strength was a hundred times greater than Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's, and his flying speed within the spatial turbulence was much faster than Augusta's.

The distance between the two gradually closed as time passed.

Given the distance between Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and the section of spatial turbulence where the Celestial Realm was located, Linley would definitely be able to intercept Light Chief Sovereign Augusta before Augusta reached the Celestial Realm.

However, within the spatial turbulence where the Celestial Realm was located, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was also rushing toward Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.

Judging from the speed Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had displayed, he could meet up with Light Chief Sovereign Augusta before Linley caught up to him.

Clearly, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's attitude was that even if it meant offending Linley, he would still protect Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.

"Don't even think about it!"

Linley roared. The Life Overgod Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

Rip!

Fused Sovereign power erupted, and Linley slashed toward Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, sending out a sword light.

At the same time, Linley no longer concealed his powerful soul force. One transparent sword shadow after another, moving at a speed surpassing that of the sword light, shot into Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's mind.

"Ah..."

"Ahhhhhhh..."

After killing the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had already returned the soul-defense Overgod artifact to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff. Thus, under Linley's continuous soul attacks, the defenses within his soul space were easily broken through by Linley's soul attacks.

It was only because the faith power within Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's Sovereign spark was sufficiently abundant that, with wave after wave of faith power supporting him, Augusta's soul was not crushed by Linley's soul attacks.

However, Augusta's speed was greatly reduced because he was suffering such attacks, and Linley closed a large portion of the distance between them.

Not only that, Linley's sword light had already reached Augusta.

"Damn it!"

Augusta clutched his head. While using Sovereign power and faith power to heal his soul injuries, he took out his Overgod artifact sword and slashed toward the incoming sword light.

Boom!

Pfft—

Linley's sword light directly knocked Augusta's sword aside and slashed into Augusta's body.

A flash of white light passed over Augusta's body, and the material-defense Sovereign artifact on his body was directly cut open by Linley's sword light, leaving a deep mark.

Augusta spat out a mouthful of blood and suffered a serious injury.

Linley's normal-state strength was now a hundred times greater than Augusta's.

The sword light Linley had unleashed from a distance could not instantly kill Augusta because it lacked the augmentation provided by his physical strength.

However, the sword light's might was still ten times greater than Augusta's strength, and this was enough to severely injure him.

With this, the distance between Linley and Augusta closed further.

"Not good!"

Seeing this scene, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta became extremely anxious.

With his current strength, if Linley got close to him, Linley would need at most two moves to kill him.

"Orloff, hurry up!"

"If I die, I won't be able to worry about anything else!"

Feeling Linley getting closer and closer, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta roared inwardly at Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

Unfortunately, no matter how anxious Augusta was, Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's speed did not change in the slightest.

Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff naturally did not want his divine clone to be killed either. He had already brought out his fastest speed.

But the distance between Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff and Linley and Augusta was simply too great.

If Augusta could maintain his speed and approach Orloff, the two of them could indeed meet up before Linley caught Augusta.

However, under Linley's attacks, Augusta simply could not maintain his full speed while approaching Orloff.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The long sword in Linley's hand swung repeatedly, and one sword light after another shot toward Augusta, cutting one opening after another into the material-defense Sovereign artifact on Augusta's body.

Every sword light could inflict considerable damage on Augusta.

Unfortunately, the recovery ability of Sovereign power was simply too powerful.

If one could not kill an opponent in a short period and gave the enemy a chance to catch their breath, they would quickly recover.

However, Linley's purpose at this moment was not actually to kill Augusta with his sword lights. He was using the sword lights to slow Augusta down so that he could approach Augusta before Orloff.

At that time, with his body possessing Sovereign artifact-level strength and his strength exceeding Augusta's by more than a hundredfold, Linley would be able to kill Augusta in the shortest possible time.

"Linley!"

Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's divine sense spread out and touched Linley's divine sense, transmitting his voice.

"Give me some face and spare Augusta's life. How about it?"

"Give you some face?"

Orloff's silence would have been better. The moment he said these words, he directly ignited the fury in Linley's heart.

"Lord Orloff, ten thousand years ago, I gave you face."

"So I did not directly attack Light Chief Sovereign Augusta. Instead, under your mediation, I gave Light Chief Sovereign Augusta twenty drops of the divine beast blood essence of each of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns in exchange for my mother Lina's freedom."

"But what did you do, Lord Orloff?"

A violent aura radiated from Linley's divine sense.

"As one of the oldest and strongest Sovereigns, Lord Orloff, I don't believe that you didn't know how the Light Sovereigns could release an angel from their ownership."

"But when Augusta deceived me, what did you do?"

"You tacitly approved of it, and you even deceived me together with Augusta."

"Now that Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's trick has been exposed by me, you actually still want me to give you face?"

"Lord Orloff, if my strength were not still somewhat inferior to yours, you would inevitably become another wisp of a dead soul beneath my sword!"

In his response to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Linley did not conceal in the slightest that he harbored killing intent toward Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff equal to, or even greater than, the killing intent he held toward Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.

If Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had not intervened back then, Linley would probably already have attacked Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and completely killed him.

If that had happened, his mother Lina would have regained her freedom instantly.

But because of Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, not only had Linley missed the opportunity to kill Light Chief Sovereign Augusta and allow his mother Lina to regain her freedom, he had foolishly handed over most of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns as well.

Because of Locke's supplementation, Beirut had extracted four hundred drops of divine beast blood essence from the corpses of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.

On average, there were one hundred drops of each type of blood essence.

When seeking the protection of Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred, Beirut had paid twenty-five drops of each type of divine beast blood essence, for a total of one hundred drops of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.

Afterward, Beirut conducted his own research, wasting forty drops of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns. Only afterward did he begin fusing the blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns with the lifeforms of the Yulan Continent, resulting in the appearance of many powerful Saint-level magical beasts and the Four Ultimate Warriors on the Yulan Continent.

Calculating it this way, Beirut had consumed fifteen drops of each type of divine beast blood essence, for a total of sixty drops.

In order to exchange for his mother's freedom, Linley had given Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff twenty drops of each type of divine beast blood essence, for a total of eighty drops.

Therefore, Linley actually had only sixty drops of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns remaining in his possession.

During his research into the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, Linley had consumed twenty drops. Now, Linley only had forty drops of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns remaining.

This meant that even though Linley had already comprehended the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, and had also exchanged knowledge with Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred and learned about the fused innate divine ability centered around the White Tiger Sovereign, because of the limitation of the divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, he could only use such techniques ten times.

Compared with Linley, Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred had enough divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns remaining to use his techniques seventeen more times.

Linley did not know how much divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had originally possessed.

But the amount Linley himself had traded to Light Chief Sovereign Augusta the previous time alone was eighty drops.

If all of this divine beast blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns had been given by Light Chief Sovereign Augusta to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, then the number of times Orloff could use the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns would probably be greater than the combined number of times Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred and Linley could use theirs!

"Not good!"

The divine sense transmission between Linley and Augusta caused Light Chief Sovereign Augusta's expression to change drastically.

He had never imagined that his momentary decision back then would actually cause Linley to harbor hatred toward even Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

It was foreseeable that if Orloff failed to kill Linley this time, then once Linley cultivated to Chief Sovereign Locke's level, he would definitely attack Orloff again.

Of course, Light Chief Sovereign Augusta also knew that no matter what happened between Linley and Orloff in the future, the most important thing right now was for him to survive!

"Linley, you can't kill me!"

"You are a Rule Chief Sovereign, while I am a Law Chief Sovereign."

"According to the Sovereign Agreement, a higher-ranked Sovereign cannot attack a lower-ranked Sovereign!"

"Otherwise, by violating the Sovereign Agreement, all the Rule Chief Sovereigns will pursue you. Even Chief Sovereign Locke would not let you off!"

Although Augusta knew that hope was slim, Linley had dared to violate the rules established by the Overgods, so it was highly unlikely that he would spare Augusta because of the Sovereign Agreement established by the Chief Sovereigns.

But what if?

Especially since Chief Sovereign Locke had once intervened to save Linley. What if Linley hesitated because of Chief Sovereign Locke?

Sure enough, when he heard the name of Chief Sovereign Locke, Linley's movements slowed for half a beat.

Although Linley wanted to kill Augusta at this moment, if doing so might put Chief Sovereign Locke in a difficult position, Linley found it difficult to make a decision.

"Heh, Augusta, you're really a clever one."

At this moment, nearly all the Sovereigns had entered the spatial turbulence and were standing behind Destruction Chief Sovereign Wodred, watching Chief Sovereign Linley pursue Light Chief Sovereign Augusta.

Among them were naturally Beirut and Bluefire, the two Sovereigns of the Yulan lineage.

After hearing Augusta's plea for mercy and seeing Linley waver, Beirut could not help laughing loudly in disdain.

"The Sovereign Agreement established by Chief Sovereign Death indeed stipulates that a higher-ranked Sovereign cannot attack a lower-ranked Sovereign."

"But did you forget that this stipulation has a prerequisite?"

"That is, if a lower-ranked Sovereign provokes or offends a higher-ranked Sovereign, then the higher-ranked Sovereign's attack against the lower-ranked Sovereign does not count as violating the Sovereign Agreement."

"Light Chief Sovereign Augusta, ten thousand years ago, you deceived Chief Sovereign Linley and caused Chief Sovereign Linley to pay an enormous price."

"If even that does not count as offending and provoking Chief Sovereign Linley, then what does?"

"Now, Chief Sovereign Linley killing you is merely a retaliation for your offense and provocation. It does not count as violating the Sovereign Agreement."

"With Chief Sovereign Locke's abilities, if Linley were truly violating the Sovereign Agreement, Chief Sovereign Locke would certainly appear to stop him."

"But from the moment Linley began pursuing you until now, Chief Sovereign Locke has not appeared. This proves that Chief Sovereign Locke believes Linley's killing you does not violate the Sovereign Agreement."

"What, do you think Chief Sovereign Locke doesn't know what is happening here?"

The moment Beirut said this, Linley's spirit was immediately shaken.

That's right. The reason he had attacked Light Chief Sovereign Augusta in the first place was because Light Chief Sovereign Augusta had deceived him and treated him like a fool.
