How to put it—at this mont, the 5-Elent God King felt as though sothing strange had appeared in his 5-Elent God Realm.
It was as if there were subtle changes in the surrounding environnt,
But he couldn't quite pinpoint what those changes were.
At this mont, the Ink Sea God King spoke again:
"The entire 5-Elent God Realm has now been invaded by the beast clan.
There are even two beast clan God Kings ou tside your 5-Elent Temple!"
"What?"
The 5-Elent God King was stunned by this revelation.
He couldn't believe that in just two days since he left,
The situation had deteriorated to this extent!
After listening to the Ink Sea God King's explanation,
The 5-Elent God King finally understood what had happened.
Outside the 5-Elent Temple,
In addition to the two beast clan God Kings,
Hundreds of thousands of beast clan soldiers were attacking the temple.
The sealing magic array of the 5-Elent Temple was imnsely powerful.
Even the presence of a God King couldn't break through it by force.
Thus, the beast clan could only rely on their ordinary troops to gradually deplete the array's power.
"Have those old fellows given any updates?"
A beast clan God King with lion-like features asked.
"No, they only said that continuous attacks would eventually weaken the sealing magic array.
The magic array used by the 5-Elent Temple is far more advanced,
So they can't provide tools to break it, like they did with the other cities,"
The fox-like God King replied.
"These human God Kings are truly cunning!
At critical monts, they slack off!"
The Lion God King growled in frustration.
"There's nothing we can do about it.
We anticipated this might happen from the start…"
Although the human God Kings had initially claid to support the beast clan's attack on the 5-Elent God Realm,
When it ca down to the final steps,
Those God Kings beca unreachable,
Pretending to be dead.
Even the scrolls they had initially provided to break through second-layer magic arrays in other cities were no longer available.
Such was the nature of humans.
Before the beast clan mobilized their forces,
The human factions sched against one another,
Eager to eliminate their rivals.
But when the beast clan army finally arrived,
They united against a common enemy.
Now, the two beast clan God Kings were facing precisely this situation.
The human God Kings had withdrawn all support,
Leaving the beast clan forces to grind down the sealing magic array on their own.
The hundreds of thousands of beast clan soldiers stationed here could do nothing else but continue the assault.
"By the way, I've just received news—
The army we sent to attack the southern Ascension City seems to have encountered so issues.
We've completely lost contact with them,"
The Lion God King said, turning to the Fox God King.
"I suspect that the human God Kings acted behind the scenes,
Interfering with our forces… perhaps even wiping them out."
"While those human God Kings are bold,
They wouldn't dare to go that far.
Don't forget,
We have armies waiting at the edges of their God Realms."
If anything drastic happened,
Those armies' first move would be to invade the human God Realms.
Thus, the Fox God King was confident that the human God Kings would only resort to small acts of sabotage,
Such as withholding scrolls to break through magic arrays.
They wouldn't dare to outright annihilate the beast clan forces.
Such an action would enrage the entire beast clan.
The human God Kings would never risk starting a war on their own soil.
"Then what's going on?"
"We'll send soone swift to investigate later."
"Alright, that's our best option for now."
At this mont, a deep, resonant voice rang out:
"Damn beast clan,
Who gave you permission to run wild on my territory?"
As the words fell,
The 5-Elent God King delivered a devastating punch!
The fiery blow struck the beast clan army,
Causing massive casualties.
"Damn it!"
The Lion God King roared in anger,
Charging toward the human who had dared to attack.
The punch had conveniently landed in the area where the Lion God King's tribe was stationed,
Further enraging him.
Whether or not it was intentional was up for debate,
But the Lion God King's distinctive features made him an obvious target.
With a furious roar,
The Lion God King lunged at the 5-Elent God King.
"Perfect timing! Today, I'll slay you, you overgrown cat!"
Hearing the taunt,
The Lion God King beca even angrier.
He swiped at the 5-Elent God King with his claws.
But as his attack connected,
A powerful rebound sent him flying back.
It felt as though he had struck a mountain—
Unyielding and immovable.
Not only did his attack fail to harm the 5-Elent God King,
But the recoil injured him instead.
The 5-Elent God King counterattacked imdiately,
Driving a punch straight into the Lion God King's arm,
Piercing through it.
The 5-Elent God King had beco a God King by mastering the 5-Elent Rule to an extraordinary degree.
Although he had only been a God King for less than ten thousand years,
That didn't an he was weak.
In the Greenwood God Realm,
He had fled because the Greenwood God King's mastery of the Wood Rule far surpassed his own.
For instance,
If the 5-Elent God King used the Wood Rule,
The Greenwood God King would suppress it effortlessly.
What about fire?
Sorry, it wouldn't even leave a scorch mark.
The Greenwood God King's dominance in his specialized rule was far beyond anything the 5-Elent God King could contend with,
Forcing him to retreat.
But when it ca to this beast clan God King…
There was no comparison.
The 5-Elent God King thought:
If I don't beat the life out of you,
How else do you think I claid this vast territory under my rule?
The Lion God King hadn't expected the 5-Elent God King to possess such terrifying power.
Now, he regretted charging in recklessly.
Desperately,
He turned to the Fox God King for help:
"Fox! Help ! I can't take him on alone!"
"Hang on, I'm coming!"
Hearing this,
The Lion God King breathed a sigh of relief.
The 5-Elent God King was overwhelming.
None of his attacks could penetrate the man's defenses.
anwhile, every counterattack left him severely injured.
Even his innate abilities were being nullified.
The Lion God King had never faced such a formidable opponent before.
Thankfully, the Fox God King was joining the fight.
Although the Fox God King was more of a strategist and advisor,
As a nine-tailed fox, his strength far surpassed the Lion God King's.
However, just as the Fox God King was about to enter the fray,
A hand reached out and grabbed him by his true form.
It was the Ink Sea God King!
Making his move,
The Ink Sea God King captured the Fox God King's true body,
Preventing him from joining the battle.
"What's this?
A nine-tailed fox?
I didn't expect to find one among the beast clan,"
The Ink Sea God King remarked.
But then he noticed that the Fox God King had vanished,
Leaving only a severed tail in his grasp.
The Fox God King had escaped using a natural ability of his race—
A severed tail to gain new life.
Though it would take a long ti to recover from such a loss,
The ability allowed him to flee.
The Ink Sea God King stashed the severed tail,
Intending to study its potential uses later. Read new chapters at empire
He then joined the 5-Elent God King in their attack on the Lion God King.
The Lion God King, initially relieved by the Fox God King's assistance,
Now found himself utterly dismayed.
Not only had another God King entered the battle,
But they had forced the Fox God King to escape by severing his tail.
If the Fox God King had fled,
What was the point of staying here? To die?
The Lion God King mustered all his strength to flee.
anwhile, the 5-Elent God King pursued relentlessly,
Raining down attacks as he shouted:
"5-Elent Temple warriors, follow ! Let's wipe out these beast clan scum!"
