Chapter 2800 - 1073-1085

Chapter 1073 Being Upfront

"We'll gain a better picture of the situation in the Central Region once we establish our foothold in the Divine Tortoise Tribe," Chief Sul-Dahki stated.

Shortly after, Chief Sul-Dahki's statement received multiple nods of agreement from the other leaders.

"Although the Divine Tortoise Tribe deployed a large force to the east, we still can't underestimate the Divine Tortoise Tribe. It is much easier to defend against the Divine Tortoise Tribe's attacks than attack them," Chief Siwu-Tahk stated.

"That's right," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan nodded and said, "The Divine Tortoise Tribe is known for their strong defense. We need to consider our plan carefully before we—"

Alliance Leader Sur-Khan was suddenly interrupted by a warrior barging into the tent.

"What are you doing? Can't you see we are in the middle of a meeting? If you don't have anything important to say, be prepared to be punished," Chief Sar-Rakshi scolded.

"Please forgive me for being abrupt, Chief Sar-Rakshi," the warrior quickly apologized before saying, "However, there's something Alliance Leader and everyone should see outside immediately."

After Alliance Leader Sur-Khan and the other tribe leaders listened to the warrior, they furrowed their brows.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Considering what the warrior had said, the warrior was clearly not the messenger that they were waiting to receive news on the Central Region's situation.

In that case, what could have happened in the Golden Suanni Tribe that it was important enough for the warrior to interrupt their high-level meeting?

"Let us head out and see the situation," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan calmly stated before turning to the warrior. "Han-Guhri was your name, wasn't it? I remember you. You were more sensible than this. Why don't you tell me what is going on along the way?"

"Please forgive me, Alliance Leader," Warrior Han-Guhri apologized again before saying, "Lord Tailchaser instructed me to call Alliance Leader and the other chiefs over quickly."

"Lord Tailchaser did?" Alliance Leader Sur-Khan uttered with surprise.

At the same time, Chief Siwu-Tahk and the other chiefs in the alliance also expressed their surprise upon hearing it was under Lord Tailchaser's instruction.

Lord Tailchaser was the only Paragon-level Golden Suanni in the Golden Suanni Tribe, but he was also the strongest being in the entire western alliance.

Lord Tailchaser was not far from becoming a Mid Paragon, and his strength was already comparable to a Low-rank Battle God.

After Alliance Leader Sur-Khan and the other chiefs left the tent and followed Warrior Han-Guhri, they gradually picked up the commotion ahead in the direction of the western jungle.

Before long, they spotted Lord Tailchaser's huge figure towering over the crowd of warriors and tribesmen gathered near the western edge of the tribe.

"Lord Tailchaser, you called for us? What is the matter?" Alliance Leader Sur-Khan politely inquired, appearing subservient to the Early Paragon-level Golden Suanni.

Without Lord Tailchaser's backing, the Golden Suanni Tribe wouldn't have been able to stand tall and unite the western tribes.

"See for yourself, and tell me what we should do about them."

Lord Tailchaser casually directed Alliance Leader Sur-Khan and the others' attention ahead to the barren plain between the Golden Suanni Tribe and the outskirts of the western jungle.

"This…"

…I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

Meanwhile, Leon patiently stood on the barren plain before the Golden Suanni Tribe with Rainshine, Nightingale, Cindertail, and Goldenstride.

"Why do we need to wait here for them, my Lord? If you give the word, I will subjugate the entire tribe immediately!" Goldenstride declared.

"No need," Leon waved his hand dismissively.

"It's only proper etiquette to wait for the owners to welcome us in when we visit their homes. Besides, we are not here to promote violence. If everything proceeds peacefully and according to plan, they will be on our side."

"What if it doesn't, and they choose to be hostile against us, my Lord?" Goldenstride inquired.

Leon paused for a moment before he nonchalantly replied, "Then you can proceed to subjugate with force."

"Until then, rein in your aura. We don't want to intimidate them. We still need to see whether the western tribes have reasonable leaders."

"Understood, my Lord," Goldenstride complied.

A short while later, Leon noticed the Paragon-level Golden Suanni in the Golden Suanni Tribe started to approach his group with several Battle Kings. Of course, they were also armed and wary.

"Good day, men," Leon casually greeted before asking, "I wonder to whom I am speaking? Which one of you is the Golden Suanni Tribe's chief?"

"It is I, Sur-Khan," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan stepped forward before adding, "I am also the leader of the western alliance. Now, may I ask who you are and why have you come to our tribe, sir?"

Towards the end of Alliance Leader Sur-Khan's question, he showed clear humbleness in learning Leon's identity. He didn't dare jump to conclusions.

After all, Leon had two Golden Suannis on his side that was of similar size to Lord Tailchaser.

Alliance Leader Sur-Khan and the others weren't sure if Leon was related to the Golden Suanni Clan. Even Lord Tailshaser stayed silent and allowed Alliance Leader Sur-Khan to do all the talking.

"I am the alliance leader of the southern tribes, Leonhardt. And I have come seeking to unite the western tribes under my banner, peacefully, of course," Leon stated straightforwardly with a friendly smile.

"What?" Alliance Leader Sur-Khan was immediately taken aback. Astonishment was written all over his face.

The other chiefs were also surprised by Leon's claim. But after they recovered, they quickly spread out and surrounded Leon's group with their weapons pointed.

Shortly after, the chiefs signaled the warriors in the Golden Suanni Tribe over for reinforcements and strengthened their security.

Leon's companions all snorted at the unwelcoming attitudes they received.

"Can we use force now, my Lord?" Goldenstride asked.

"Not yet," Leon calmly raised a hand to halt his own people from making a move. Each of them could easily lay waste to the Golden Suanni Tribe if they wanted to.

Nevertheless, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan also raised his hand to stop everyone on his side from arbitrarily making decisions on their own.

"You are the alliance leader of the southern tribes?" Alliance Leader Sur-Khan sought Leon's confirmation with a solemn look.

Chapter 1074 Please Do Not Resist

"The one and only," Leon casually admitted. 

"Alliance Leader, just give us the order! I don't know what possessed him to come to the Western Region with so few companions, but this is our chance! If he is truly who he claims to be, we can quickly unite the southern tribes by defeating him!" Chief Sar-Rakshi said excitedly. 

However, the opinions within the western alliance were divided. Besides excitement, there were also doubts and concerns. 

"Why would the alliance leader of the southern tribes come to the Western Region without an army? Does he think he can make us all submit to him with his strength alone?" 

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "There were rumors that Leonhardt was a Battle God and that he was responsible for the disappearance of the two palace lords from the Battle God Palace."

"So what if it's true? Don't we have Lord Tailchaser with us? Lord Tailchaser's strength is equivalent to a Battle God!"

"Yes, that is also true. However, Leonhardt has two Golden Suannis by his side! And they don't look any weaker than Lord Tailchaser!"

"I think we are missing a critical point here. How didn't Leonhardt's group get past our defense? Why is he here? And why does he have two possible Paragon-level Golden Suannis with him? He clearly came from the western jungle!"

"But to enter the western jungle, his group would have to get past our tribe first." 

"How did he slip past the guards' watches? What the hell had they been doing? People had slipped through our territory without our knowledge until now!"

As the chiefs of the western alliance bickered among themselves, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan carefully observed Leon's calm expression with a deep frown. 

Because of Leon's strange group of companions, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan did not dare to make a rash decision. 

Only a fool would challenge the western alliance without possessing adequate strength. 

'If Alliance Leader Leonhardt isn't a fool, then he must be completely confident of his group's strength. I need to test him,' Alliance Leader Sur-Khan thought.

"You said you came to unite us under your banner peacefully, Alliance Leader Leonhardt? Do you believe you have what it takes to convince all of us to submit to you without the use of force?" 

Alliance Leader Sur-Khan narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "Even if you do, why do you bother to go through the trouble? It is much more simple and efficient to settle with your fists, no?"

"There has been too much bloodshed in the Infertile Plains. This situation has to end before further lives are lost, and I am the only one who can end this," Leon calmly said. 

"Don't be ridiculous. Do you think you are the messiah or something? The battle for hegemony in the Infertile Plains isn't something a single person can stop," Chief Sar-Rakshi refuted Leon's claim with a nasty look. 

Chief Sar-Rakshi did not like hearing Leon's arrogant claim. 

However, after Alliance Leader Sur-Khan directed a glare at Chief Sar-Rakshi, the person immediately stopped talking. 

At the same time, Leon gave the rude person a nonchalant glance before returning his attention to Alliance Leader Sur-Khan.

"Do you also think so?" Leon asked.

"I haven't heard what you can do nor learn the source of your confidence. Thus, I am not in a hurry to refute or believe anything," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan stated. 

"It seems the western alliance has a wise leader," Leon nodded with approval.

But although Leon praised Alliance Leader Sur-Khan, his words were also an indirect jab at Chief Sar-Rakshi.

"You…"

"Quit it, Chief Sar-Rakshi."

Alliance Leader Sur-Khan silenced Chief Sar-Rakshi before the person could continue to interrupt their talk. 

Shortly after, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan glanced at Lord Tailchaser to guess his thoughts. Alas, he couldn't tell what Lord Tailchaser was thinking. 

He could only see that Lord Tailchaser was staring closely at one of the two Golden Suannis on Alliance Leader Leonhardt's side.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

A few moments later, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan returned his attention to Leon.

"So why do you think you are the only one who can end the bloodshed, Alliance Leader Leonhardt? What is the source of your confidence? And what makes you worthy of our allegiance?"

"You want to know about my confidence and qualification? Well, I was going to tell you anyway. I have what it means to resolve the Infertile Plains' water crisis and even make it a fertile land. Furthermore, I have the whole Golden Suanni Clan's allegiance."

"So tell me, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan. Do you think my qualifications are good enough?"

"Even if you say that, Alliance Leader Leonhardt… Your words mean nothing unless you can also prove what you claimed—"

"—Ah, I remember who you are now! You've changed a lot in the time I haven't seen you, Cindertail. Why haven't you paid your respects to this Lord?" Lord Tailchaser suddenly exclaimed after he finally recognized Cindertail.

At the same time, Lord Tailchaser expressed his displeasure while exerting pressure with his Paragon-level aura on Cindertail, whom he still believed to be Peak Rank 2 Transcendent.

Alas, such a measly pressure was nothing to the current Cindertail.

Cindertail: "…"

Goldenstride: "…"

Rainshine: "…"

Nightingale: "…"

"Hm?" 

Lord Tailchaser frowned at Cindertail's nonchalance before he tried exerting more pressure with his Paragon-level aura. 

Even so, Cindertail remained indifferent to it before turning his head to Leon for instruction. 

At the same time, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan and the other chiefs were surprised by Lord Tailchaser's outburst as they turned to him with shock. 

"L-Lord Tailchaser? W-what is going on? Why did you suddenly start exerting your pressure on them?" Alliance Leader Sur-Khan politely inquired with confusion.

"In the Golden Suanni Clan, it is proper etiquette for a male Golden Suanni to pay his respect to a stronger male Golden Suanni when they meet. Although I don't recognize the other one, Cindertail over there is only a Peak Rank 2 Transcendent."

"Furthermore, the main clan is full of Peak Paragons. I doubt this man has the whole clan's allegiance when he only has someone at this level accompanying him."

"What?" 

Alliance Leader Sur-Khan and the others glanced at Cindertail before they started to question Leon's credibility. Their gazes were quickly filled with distrust and unfriendliness.

"Did he try to fool us?" Chief Sul-Dahki wondered gloomily with his sword ready to attack.

"My Lord, shall I?" Goldenstride asked. 

Leon softly sighed and nodded. 

Swish!

Goldenstride's Divine Beast-level aura immediately erupted from his body and overwhelmed everyone in an instant. 

"I've come to grant you all salvation. Please do not resist," Leon stated indifferently.

"..."

Chapter 1075 Submit Before Absolute Strength

Out of everyone that reacted to Goldenstride's Divine Beast-level aura, Lord Tailchaser had the strongest reaction. 

The moment Lord Tailchaser sensed Goldenstride's aura had exceeded the Paragon level, he prostrated with his head on the ground.

"Forgive me for not recognizing your strength, Your Excellency! I did not know the clan had a Divine Beast-level existence like you!" Lord Tailchaser sought forgiveness for his disrespect and ignorance.

At the same time, Alliance Leader Sur-Khan, the other chiefs, and the surrounding warriors of the western alliance overheard Lord Tailchaser's words and trembled. 

'Divine Beast!' they mentally cried with alarm.

Within the next three breaths, every one of them also prostrated on the ground without daring to look up. 

A Divine Beast was an existence they could not fathom. It was a level of existence that surpassed the realm of Paragons and made Battle Gods seem like a joke.

"Do you submit?" 

"We submit!" 

Once Leon raised the question, the whole western alliance answered with hesitation. There was no reason to think. 

A Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni was on a whole different level of existence. 

If it was against other Battle God-level existences, they might still stand a chance in the battle for hegemony. 

However, against a Divine Beast, they didn't stand a chance. All forms of resistance were futile in the face of absolute strength.

They never imagined they would see a Divine Beast one day. Such an existence was mythical.

Nevertheless, after Leon received the western alliance's submission, he gestured for Goldenstride to rein in his aura. And only after Goldenstride's aura was reined in did Alliance Leader Sur-Khan and the others dare to raise their heads.

"If you had such a powerful follower, why didn't you hide it? If Lord Divine Beast had revealed his strength from the start, we wouldn't even dare think about competing with you for hegemony," Alliance Leader Sur-Khan spoke. 

"For multiple reasons, actually. But you are right. It was a waste of time," Leon openly admitted after a brief moment of reflection.

Although there could be complications in ruling over the various tribes with force, it was the most efficient method of conquering.

2023年の世界で最も売れた自動車トップ20のうち,半数が日本車で,1位の車種は64%の成長を達成しました.TOPSSEEK

Problems like internal conflicts could be resolved later. After all, he didn't need to integrate the western alliance into the Darkmoon Tribe right away. It could be done later. 

The main point was to quickly stop everyone in the Infertile Plains from slaughtering each other. 

"You may rise." 

"Thank you, Alliance Leader."

After Leon permitted everyone to stop prostrating, Sur-Khan and the others stood up on their feet without further actions. 

However, concerns and fear were written over some of their faces, especially Chief Sar-Rakshi, who appeared to be the most concerned and afraid. 

After all, Chief Sar-Rakshi was the one who opposed Leon the most in the group. He thought the western alliance could defeat Leon and take over the southern tribes.

Alas, that beautiful dream was shattered in an instant when Goldenstride revealed his divine might.

Nevertheless, Leon could understand the western alliance's other concerns. A Divine Beast's strength was overwhelming. 

If Leon wanted someone to die, that person would definitely die. No one could and would resist once Goldenstride acted on his behalf.

That was the issue with conquering with force; it spreads fear and uncertainty. And as humans, people tend to overthink.

When humans feel threatened, they destroy the threat. And if they couldn't, they would still keep their guards up with distrust.

Leon didn't give them time to build up their trust and respect for him, which was also fine. I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"I have been away from the Infertile Plains for a while. Who can fill me in on the situation?"

"Alliance Leader, we were having related discussions in the main tent before you came. Would you like to head there first?"

After Sur-Khan made the suggestion, Leon glanced around at everyone's nervous expressions before agreeing with a nod. 

"Alright, take me there now."

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

Shortly after, Leon left with Sur-Khan and the other chiefs. However, he did not bring any of his followers with him. They were left behind with Lord Tailchaser and the other warriors in the western alliance. 

…

A few moments after Leon and the western alliance's leaders were gone, Tailchaser approached Goldenstride apprehensively.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Your Excellency, are you the great ancestor of our Golden Suanni Clan? Why do you follow that human?" Lord Tailchaser inquired carefully. 

Goldenstride glanced at Tailchaser before rolling his eyes at him. 

"How old do you think I am? And you better start treating the Lord with proper respect! No one is allowed to disrespect the Lord of the Golden Suanni Clan."

"T-then, it was true that the Golden Suanni Clan swore allegiance to that hu—the Lord? How is that even possible?" Tailchaser was shocked.

Tailchaser couldn't imagine all those Peak Paragons submitting to a mere human. 

Could that human be even more powerful than a Divine Beast?

"The Lord helped the clan overcome a disaster and allowed many Peak Paragons like I, Goldenstride, to step into the Divine Beast Realm. Why wouldn't our clan swear our allegiance to such a person?" Goldenstride nonchalantly replied as if it was how things should be. 

"There are other Divine Beasts beside you, Your Excellency?!" Tailchaser exclaimed with greater before his gaze shifted to Cindertail. 

And as he recalled his previous pompous attitude, his body immediately shivered. 

"Don't look at me like that. I am not that impressive," Cindertail lazily explained. But before Tailchaser could feel some relief, Cindertail added, "Just a Peak Paragon that is still one step away."

"…" Tailchaser was dumbfounded. 

A Peak Paragon that is only one step away from becoming a Divine Beast is not impressive? It was still much more impressive than him!

"That… about before… I didn't know you had become so powerful…"

"So why haven't you paid your respects to me, Tailchaser?"

"Lord Cindertail…"

"That's better."

Cindertail became smug at once. 

Another Paragon-level Golden Suanni, whom he used to pay respect to, was now paying respect to him. It felt good.

Nevertheless, Tailchaser gradually shifted his focus on Rainshine, then ultimately Nightingale, who also had everyone else's attention. 

No one could guess her race. 

Though, they did suspect Nightingale might be a demon.

Chapter 1076 News From The Scout

Inside the Golden Suanni Tribe's main tent, the main seat, which originally belonged to Sur-Khan, was offered to Leon. 

After Leon took his seat, everyone else took their seat around the low-standing table without the exception of one person standing, Sur-Khan. 

A detailed three-dimensional map of the Infertile Plains and parts of the western jungle and northern Iceland could be found on top of the table. 

Leon studied the map, but he couldn't grasp any useful information from it besides the western alliance's strategic plans for the Northern Region.

"What's the current situation in the Infertile Plains?" Leon inquired. 

"According to what we know, the Howling Falcon Tribe has received the backing of some foreign forces from the far north. We've been having a lot of difficulties conquering the northern tribes due to them. Furthermore, we don't know whether these foreign forces have also backed the other northern tribes," Sur-Khan reported. 

"That being said, if the Howling Falcon Tribe and other northern tribes learned of the Divine Beast on our side, I am certain that they would quickly submit without a fight. Of course, this is under the assumption that they are smart enough." 

"Everyone participated in the battle for hegemony because they believed they still had a chance. But once they learn that chance didn't exist, to begin with, they will quickly give up and submit," Sur-Khan added. 

"Right," Chief Siwu-Tahk agreed with Sur-Khan's statement. 

"The situation in the Central Region is especially fierce because the major tribes' strengths are all roughly the same. Once they learn of the Divine Beast's existence, they will all submit to you, Alliance Leader."

"Enough about that. What's the situation in the other regions?" Leon calmly inquired. 

He didn't care if Sur-Khan and the rest of the chiefs believed he relied on Goldenstride to exert his dominance over everyone.

They will come to learn that his own strength was to be feared as well.

Glaucoma and cataract can disappear! And vision can return quickly (Stop Doing This)visionntie.com

Nevertheless, Leon eventually learned everything that happened in the past few weeks from Sur-Khan. 

The southern tribes were the least active but also the most peaceful. 

No one thought of attacking the Darkmoon Tribe after the two palace lords from the Battle God Palace mysteriously disappeared on their trip there.

Furthermore, they didn't know if they had to inherit the southern tribes' burden and responsibility of defending against the demons. 

On the other hand, the Central Region had been the most active. It was anything but peaceful, with the exception of the Divine Tortoise Tribe.

"Mighty Whitewolf Tribe had also started their conquest on the northern tribes. However, they haven't been successful. I assume it is also due to the foreign powers from the far north interfering," Sur-Khan mentioned. 

"Besides that, we've learned from our scouts that the Battle God Palace led a campaign on the eastern tribe. However, that place is a bit too far for us. The news is always several days behind."

"Speaking of which, I'm not sure if Alliance Leader was aware, but something shook the entire Infertile Plains just the other day. Seemingly something big fell from the heavens. However, we won't know the details until our scouts return," Chief Sul-Dahki mentioned.

"Something big fell from the heavens the other day?" Leon frowned. He wondered if it had anything to do with the raging sun.

While Leon was in thought, the scouts that Sur-Khan and the other chiefs expected to return from the Central Region finally arrived. I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"Dan-Subi of the scout team is here with important news from Central Region, Milords!" the scout reported his arrival outside the main tent's entrance. 

"You may come in," Sur-Khan permitted. After the scout entered, he instructed, "You may begin the report."

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" Dan-Subi answered. 

Sur-Khan's expression turned awkward, and the other chiefs wore a strange look on their faces. However, Dan-Subi did not notice it, though he did find it strange that someone else was sitting in Sur-Khan's seat.

"After our team was dispatched to investigate the source of the earthquake one day ago, we've located a hole, which we believed to be the epicenter of the earthquake. Unfortunately, we could not get close for a deeper investigation," Dan-Subi reported. 

Warriors from other tribes had surrounded the location. 

If the scout team was exposed, they ran the risk of being captured and interrogated by other tribes for intelligence.

Nevertheless, after Sur-Khan and the other chiefs listened to the report, they calmly nodded. Just as they expected, something had indeed fallen from the heavens.

"How big was the hole? The surrounding area wasn't affected by the impact? For something that shook the Infertile Plains fiercely, the impact should have devastated vast amounts of land," Chief Siwu-Tahk asked with a frown.

"Actually, it didn't, Milord," Dan-Subi replied, surprising Chief Siwu-Tahk.

"Although we couldn't get close to investigate the depth of the hole, we were at least able to confirm its width. The hole size is equivalent to three King-rank tribes combined, and it's located where the Mid-rank Tribe, Valiant Steelhorn Tribe, used to be."

"Where the Valiant Steelhorn Tribe used to be, you say?" Chief Sar-Rakshi raised an eyebrow. 

"Yes, Milord," Dan-Subi confirmed.

"The Valiant Steelhorn Tribe has been wiped off the face of the earth. Fortunately, the ground in that region was vastly hollow to absorb the impact. Otherwise, I cannot imagine the level of destruction that would have followed." 

"Right now, the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe, Holy Sunfire Tribe, and the Battle God Palace have all dispatched warriors to investigate the abyss-like hole, Milords," Dan-Subi added. 

"The Divine Tortoise Tribe has also deployed many warriors to the east. They must have gone to secure the hole. For whatever reason it might have been, this could be our chance."

Sur-Khan turned to Leon and asked, "What do you think about heading to the Divine Tortoise Tribe next, Alliance Leader?" 

"Alliance Leader?" Dan-Subi glanced at Leon with shock. Since when was the alliance leader switched out for another?

"That's right," Chief Sur-Khan nodded and introduced Leon, "This is Lord Leonhardt, the alliance leader of the southern tribes as well as the new alliance leader of our western tribes." 

Dan-Subi stared at Leon with shock.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Nevertheless, Leon ignored the person and calmly instructed, "Prepare to set out. A few of you will accompany me to the Divine Tortoise Tribe."

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" Sur-Khan and the others answered.

Chapter 1077 Divine Tortoise Tribe

After leaving the main tent, Leon regrouped with the others before preparing to leave for the Divine Tortoise Tribe that lies beyond the border separating the Western and Central regions. 

Leon also dragged Chief Sar-Rakshi along for the trip, much to the person's reluctance. Besides them, Tailchaser and Chief Sul-Dahki volunteered to accompany him. 

During the time Leon was inside the main tent with the other chiefs, Tailchaser had heard of Leon's miraculous ability to awaken the Golden Suanni Clan's bloodline from Goldenstride.

As such, Tailchaser wanted to get close to Leon and suck up to him for benefits. 

However, without Tailchaser to hold the fort, the western alliance's strength would drastically reduce to a level that cannot stand toe-to-toe with other King-rank tribes or their equivalent. 

Furthermore, the strength of foreign forces from the far north was unknown. 

They never know if the Howling Falcon Tribe would take the chance to attack while their main camp's defenses are weakened. 

"I can stay behind and look after the Western Region, my Lord," Cindertail volunteered. 

"Oh, you will?" Leon casually replied without finding it surprising. 

"Yes, my Lord. I believe my sons are part of this Golden Suanni Tribe. I will take this chance to catch up to them."

Leon had guessed as much.

"As you wish. Then, you will guard the Western Region until Tailchaser returns to assume his responsibility."

"Understood, my Lord."

Nevertheless, Leon had also already understood that Tailchaser was the real leader of the western alliance, while Sur-Khan was only the acting leader. 

The western alliance was one ruled by the strongest. It was due to that reason that the western alliance readily submitted after learning Leon had a Divine Beast-level follower.

"Thank you, Lord Cindertail," Tailchaser expressed his gratitude to Cindertail for giving him the opportunity to follow Leon. 

"No need to thank me," Cindertail coolly said before adding, "As you have heard, I'm staying to catch up with my sons, whom I haven't met for some time. I didn't do it for you."

"Even so, I would like to thank you," Tailchaser stated stubbornly. 

Nevertheless, after the preparations for departure were done, Leon's group left without further delay.

Two hours later, Leon's group crossed the border. Their pace was neither too fast nor too slow. It was just enough for everyone to move without exhausting themselves. 

Even so, it was clear that Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dahki were dragging the group down. They, themselves, also realized it. 

And because of that, they were amazed by Leon, even if it was just a tiny glimpse of his ability. 

'He wasn't suspected of being a Battle God for nothing,' Chief Sul-Dahki silently thought. 

Meanwhile, Leon was thinking about the hole created in the Central Region. 

If it was the result of something dropping down from outer space after the sun rampaged, the world was simply too lucky that the space debris landed in an area with weak ground and hollow space underneath. 

That being said, Leon wasn't so sure how many times the world could be lucky like that. 

If an especially large piece of space debris fell on hard ground or the Boundless Sea, the force it generates would wipe out life on the surface. I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

As such, Leon had to refrain from angering the sun. 

Nevertheless, Leon was also curious about how deep the hole was created. He wondered if it had entered the abyss.

"Hm? We've already crossed the border, but there isn't any defensive line? The Divine Tortoise Tribe doesn't set any?" Leon noticed. 

"They don't need to, Alliance Leader. Their tribe itself is an impregnable fortress. They don't need any other defenses," Chief Sul-Dahki explained. 

"Oh?" Leon raised an eyebrow before saying, "Now I am curious."

…

Sometime later, Leon's group arrived on the outskirts of the Divine Tortoise Tribe. And just as Chief Sul-Dahki had mentioned, it was an impregnable fortress—or rather, it looked like one. 

Nevertheless, Leon, Rainshine, and Nightingale, who had never laid eyes on the Divine Tortoise Tribe, were astonished by what they saw before them. 

"That's the Divine Tortoise Tribe?" Rainshine uttered with shock. 

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm When Chief Sul-Dahki mentioned an impregnable fortress, everyone pictured an actual fortress. Not the giant dome before them. 

Furthermore, it wasn't just any giant dome made by men, but a giant turtle shell!

"Is that thing real? Is it even possible for any being to grow that big?"

"That's the mystery behind it. No one knows. I doubt even the Divine Tortoise Tribe knows the origin of that giant turtle shell," Chief Sul-Dahki stated. 

"However, there is one thing that everyone does know, though: the turtle shell is extremely sturdy. Not even Extremity-rank Battle Kings with Tier-5 Soul Weapons can put any scratches on it." 

"I doubt Battle Gods and Tier-6 Soul Weapons could make much difference either. Given those circumstances, perhaps such an almighty turtle did exist in the past," Chief Sul-Dahki assumed.

"That's actually incredible…" Rainshine stared giant turtle shell with amazement. 

It was the first time seeing such an enormous turtle shell, even for Leon. The Divine Realm had giant turtles, but none of them had exceeded a thousand feet in length. 

On the other hand, the turtle shell Leon saw in front of him was at least a few dozen miles long. 

The biggest turtles living in the Divine Realm could not even come close in comparison. 

That being said, even though Leon had never seen divine turtles that could grow to such extreme sizes, he had heard of them before. 

In fact, even one of the history books he picked up in the Dark Elf Clan's seventh branch's library recorded the existence of such a creature. 

"Realm Turtle…" Leon uttered. 

Everyone immediately shifted their gaze to him after hearing the unfamiliar term coming from his mouth. 

"You know what kind of turtle the shell belonged to, my Lord?" Chief Sul-Dahki asked with surprise.

"I've only read a bit about them, but yes, you can say that I do," Leon calmly admitted with a nod and said, "I believe the Divine Tortoise Tribe's shell belonged to a Realm Turtle."

 "What's a Realm Turtle?"

Chapter 1078 You Wanted To Talk?

"A Realm Turtle is a divine turtle that can grow to the size of a realm. Nevertheless, Realm Turtles weren't common, even during the primordial era of the gods and devils. The turtles are required to have a special type of physique to ignore the limitations of their body growth."

"Supposedly, the biggest Realm Turtle to ever exist grew to the size of a star realm during the primordial era of gods and devils." 

"A star realm?!" Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dakhi exclaimed with shock. Even Rainshine and Nightingale were startled as they stared at the giant turtle shell with disbelief. 

They all found it inconceivable that a Realm Turtle could grow big. A turtle as big as a star realm… Such an existence is heaven-defying.

Nevertheless, Leon continued to impart what he knew, "However, that Realm Turtle was an exception. It was probably one of the most ancient beings during the primordial era. Its succeeding descendants didn't reach its level of growth." 

"Even so, it doesn't change the fact that all the Realm Turtles that ever appeared during the primordial era had grown ridiculously huge. This turtle shell is puny in comparison."

"It must have been quite young when it died, unlike its predecessors," Leon assumed before shaking his head. "Anyhow, that's that. Let us enter the Divine Tortoise Tribe."

Having stood outside the Divine Tortoise Tribe for some time, it was clear that no one from the Divine Tortoise Tribe would come out and welcome them in. 

"No one is going to come out, my Lord. They wouldn't open their gate for anyone, and it won't be easy to break in either," Chief Sul-Dahki mentioned. 

"The Divine Tortoise Tribe has been shutting themselves inside their shell since the start of the battle for hegemony. It was only the other day that they chose to send some people out."

"They don't need to come out for food?" 

"That's what we also wondered, my Lord. However, we never caught the Divine Tortoise Tribe sending warriors out to hunt. We could only assume they stockpile a large food reserve in advance, or they are simply fasting."

"I see. Well, let's try greeting them first. It's quite rude to break into someone's home without giving them a chance to open up first," Leon casually stated. 

Shortly after, he approached the Divine Tortoise Tribe's front entrance, which was one of the few weak points in the Divine Tortoise Tribe's defense. 

This Simple Trick Cuts Electric Bills by Up to 90%Smart Energy

After all, the entrance wasn't part of the giant turtle shell that protected the tribe. It was made from other strong materials to block off the openings. 

Leon didn't doubt that it was heavily fortified. 

Nevertheless, it was still questionable whether the entrance's heavy fortification was tough enough to withstand the attack of someone like Nightingale or Goldenstride. 

"The alliance leader of the southern tribes and western tribes, Leonhardt, had come to visit the Divine Tortoise Tribe!" Leon announced his presence in a clear and resounding voice. 

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm No matter how heavy the Divine Tortoise Tribe's fortification was, they still had to leave gaps for sound and visual awareness outside of their tribe.

Leon picked up the Divine Tortoise Tribe's people's surprises and mumblings behind the thick fortified wall with his sharp hearing. 

They were trying to determine whether it was true that he, the alliance leader of the southern tribes, also subjugated the western tribes. 

"The Divine Tortoise Tribe does not welcome you! Please go back!" a deep manly voice sounded from within the walls.

Alas, the response from the Divine Tortoise Tribe was as to be expected. They weren't stupid enough to open their gate for the enemy. 

"I told you, my Lord. They wouldn't open their gate for anyone. Your words are wasted on them," Chief Sul-Dahki said. 

Leon shook his head with a slight smile and said, "This isn't about whether they will open or not. I am simply announcing my visit out of courtesy. As the alliance leader, I have to be a role model and set an example for everyone to follow." I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"Considering the Divine Tortoise Tribe has purposely avoided participation in the battle for hegemony and hasn't shed any blood from other tribes, we should give them some respect in that regard." 

"As such, I will use the peaceful approach and try to convince them with reason first." 

"And if that doesn't work, my Lord?"

"Then, I will reason with my fist."

"…" 

Chief Sul-Dahki and Chief Sar-Rakshi's lips twitched with speechlessness. Their new alliance leader was rather a particular and odd one.

…

"Whether the Divine Tortoise Tribe welcomes me or not, it's not something for you to arbitrarily decide. Let me see your chief," Leon demanded. 

"Piss off! The chief will not be seeing anyone, let alone a big bad man like you! So go away, stinky man! Smelly people from outside are all bad people!"

Multiple different voices sounded. Moreover, they sounded very young; they were the voices of children. 

As for the deep voice from earlier, it was no longer heard. 

With a sweep of his divine sense, he learned that the owner of the deep manly voice had left the gate, leaving only a few gate watchers and a group of children in the area. 

Knowing he was dealing with children, Leon was very patient and accommodating; he didn't feel offended by the words of children. 

Alas, his followers didn't share the same patience. 

"Insolence! How dare you disrespect the Lord with your crude words! I should have all your tongues cut and fed to the hyenas!"

"My Lord, allow me to bust down this gate and teach these insolent people a lesson!" 

Goldenstride and Nightingale spoke simultaneously, albeit towards different targets. At the same time, their Divine Beast-level aura raged indiscriminately. 

"Ahh! Smelly people from outside are so scary!" the children behind the thick gate were immediately frightened away. 

Fortunately, there was a thick gate between them and multiple gate watchers with relatively high strength to block off some of the auras. 

Otherwise, the children would have been harmed by the Goldenstride and Nightingale's auras.

"There's no need, Nightingale. And you too, Goldenstride. Rein in your auras. They're just children. No need to be harsh.

"Yes… my Lord.

Shortly after Nightingale and Goldenstride complied, Leon sensed a new person arrived at the thick gate. 

"You wanted to talk to me?" the person asked.

Chapter 1079 Entering The Tribe

The person's voice was quite aged, but it was also filled with the power and authority of an Extremity-rank Battle King.

Judging by the person's words, Leon did not doubt the person was the chief of the Divine Tortoise Tribe, Chief Ironshield. 

Leon had learned of the name while he was still on his way to the Divine Tortoise Tribe.

"Yes, that is correct," Leon nodded before saying, "As I have introduced myself as the alliance leader of the southern and western tribes, you should be able to guess my intention for coming here." 

"I am aware of that. However, you should also be aware that my Divine Tortoise Tribe has no interest in the battle of hegemony. We don't want to be involved in such conflicts. Thus, you are wasting your time here, Alliance Leader Leonhardt," Chief Ironshield stated. 

"Do you think you can keep sitting on the sidelines forever?" Leon replied. 

"I've heard your tribe hasn't sent out any warriors to hunt beasts for food. Do you have enough food to support everyone? Are you going to let your people starve if you don't, Chief Ironshield?"

Chief Ironshield fell silent for a period of time. 

Nevertheless, Leon didn't keep waiting for Chief Ironshield to reply before he continued, "Do you think other tribes alone just because you don't want to be involved? No, you'll be forced to get involved."

"You sent out a large number of warriors, did you not? If you truly didn't want the Divine Tortoise Tribe to be involved in the battle of hegemony, why did you send your warriors out? Do you think they can return to the tribe if other tribes camp outside?"

"There isn't any other way," Chief Ironshield sighed. 

"It's just as you suspected. The Divine Tortoise Tribe is currently experiencing a food shortage, and people are starving. As such, it was our clan's only chance to hunt when everyone's attention is still on the land of the Valiant Steelhorn Tribe." 

"Swear your tribe's allegiance to me, Chief Ironshielf, and I will guarantee the safety and livelihood of your people," Leon stated. 

Chief Ironshield fell silent again. After a few moments, he asked, "How can I just take your word for it? How can you guarantee that my people won't get involved in the bloody battle for hegemony?"

"Have you not sensed the auras of the two Divine Beasts behind me, Chief Ironshield? Or are you just feigning ignorance? Do you think I actually need to rely on the Divine Tortoise Tribe's manpower to end this battle for hegemony?"

"Divine Beasts, you say…? I had my doubts, but to think that they have truly surpassed the strength of Battle Gods. Divine Beasts… Divine Beasts… That's the same strength as Demon Lords…" Chief Ironshield muttered with a contemplating look. 

At the same time, the gate watchers were also shocked by the revelation. 

They thought the two auras belonged to Battle God-level existences, but in fact, the two existences were beyond the Battle God Realm!

"Before I give you an answer, I want to ask you a question. What do you think of the current situation in the Infertile Plains, Alliance Leader Leonhardt?" 

"Pointless and unnecessary," Leon stated without hesitation.

"Pointless and unnecessary, huh? I see I see. So you also thought this battle of hegemony is absurd," Chief Ironshield shared the same thought and laughed. He was satisfied with Leon's answer. 

Shortly after, Chief Ironshield's expression turned solemn before he barked, "Open the gates!"

"O-open the gates, Chief?" the gate watchers were immediately startled.

"That's right! Open the gates." 

"U-understood, Chief." 

The gate watchers did not need to be asked a third time before complying with Chief Ironshield's order. 

Although they had their misgivings, they also trusted Chief Ironshield's judgment.

Before long, the thick and heavily-fortified gate opened, revealing the path into the Divine Tortoise Tribe. I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

However, Leon made a gesture for everyone on his side to stop following him, including Rainshine, who always rested on his shoulders. 

"All of you will wait outside for me. Only I will enter the Divine Tortoise Tribe," Leon calmly stated.

Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dahki were immediately startled. 

"But Alliance Leader, it is not safe for you to enter alone. You should at least bring Lord Goldenstride or Lord Nightingale with you," Chief Sul-Dahki suggested. 

"No need," Leon waved his hand dismissively before stepping into the Divine Tortoise Tribe alone. 

Chief Sul-Dahki looked desperate and turned to Goldenstride and Nightingale and said, "Please convince the Alliance Leader to bring one of you two lords along."

He was afraid that if something happened to Leon, the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni, Cindertail back in the Western Region would destroy the western tribes in his fury.

An Early Paragon was already strong enough to rule the western alliance, let alone a Peak Paragon.

However, Nightingale casually glanced at the two chiefs before shaking her head.

"You don't understand anything."

"What do you mean?"

Chief Sul-Dahki frowned at Nightingale's word. 

"I might have ascended to the Divine Beast Realm, but even I am not confident in beating the Lord in a fight." 

"What?" 

Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dahki were stunned. 

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm They couldn't tell if Lord Nightingale was being humble or if she was serious. 

Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dahki had been under the impression that the Alliance Leader's strength was only around the beginning of the Battle God Realm. 

But hearing Lord Nightingale's words, they find it hard to believe that the Alliance Leader's strength had even surpassed the Battle God Realm. 

And yet, at the same time, they also felt like it made a lot of sense. 

After all, the Alliance Leader had to be very powerful to get the two Divine Beast-level existences to follow him – or so they believed. 

Nevertheless, Nightingale's uncertainty lies in the Lord's various abilities and hidden trump cards. 

…

Meanwhile, after Leon entered the Divine Tortoise Tribe alone, Chief Ironshield looked at him with surprise.

"You're not bringing the others in? Are you sure you want to enter alone, Alliance Leader Leonhardt?" Chief Ironshield asked. 

"If you are concerned for my safety, then you can be reassured. I am completely confident in my strength," Leon calmly said before adding with a smile, "More importantly, the Divine Beasts on my side will only scare the children." 

Chief Ironshield could not help but smile with amusement.

Chapter 1080 Hegemon Leonhardt

Nevertheless, Chief Ironshield didn't retain his smile for long before his brows knitted together. After seeing Leon with his own eyes, doubts clouded his mind.

There was something about Leon's aura that commanded his worship.

However, it wasn't just Chief Ironshield who felt that way. All of the gate watchers in the area also felt the same. Leon's very presence suppressed them and made them want to prostrate and worship him.

That being said, it was just a faint feeling, easily overcome with their will.

Even so, they could not help but wonder why such a feeling exists when they are meeting Leon, the alliance leader of the western and southern tribes, for the first time.

"How strange… How very strange…" Chief Ironshield uttered. He rested his chin on his hand with a thoughtful look and studied Leon.

"What is strange, Chief Ironshield?" Leon casually asked while noticing the strange behavior.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm As more members from the Divine Tortoise Tribe arrived to investigate why the gate was opened, they also cast their strange gazes at Leon.

"You are, Alliance Leader Leonhardt," Chief Ironshield answered bluntly.

"There is something strange about your aura. It compels the feeling of worship out of me, making me want to bow to you."

"We are also getting that same feeling, Chief," the gate watchers interjected.

"Oh, I see," Leon casually uttered before adding after some thought, "You must be talking about my Black Turtle Aura."

"Why would have such an aura?" Chief Ironshield asked with clear astonishment.

At the same time, all the members of the Divine Tortoise Tribe gathered in the area also revealed startling looks. They quickly paid Leon greater attention and awaited his answer.

Nevertheless, Leon recalled how he was treated by the Half-step God Beast-level Black Turtle before saying, "Oh, that's because I am a descendent of the Black Turtle God Beast."

Unbelievable! A genius invents an AI that reduces your electricity consumption by up to 90%!Smart Energy

Boom!

Leon dropped a bombshell on the Divine Tortoise Tribe. It was as if an explosion went off in all of their heads after hearing his answer.

Their eyes widened with incredulity.

Although Leon's Black Turtle Aura was also mixed with the True Dragon Aura and a few weaker auras, it was very clear that he possessed the Black Turtle Aura.

Every member in the Divine Tortoise Tribe present could feel it. Thus, they did not doubt it.

The surrounding atmosphere changed at once, and Leon was at the center of it. Riding the momentum, Leon didn't hold back and exerted his Black Turtle Aura, making it noticeable to those further away.

Nevertheless, the moment Chief Ironshield decided to open the gate for Leon, Chief Ironshield had already made a decision in his heart.

However, after Chief Ironshield learned Leon was a descendant of the Black Turtle God Beast, his resolve was further strengthened.

Thus, even if Chief Ironshield voiced his answer at this moment, not a single tribesman would object to his decision.

Bam!

Chief Ironshield dropped to his knees with a heavy thud. Shortly after he did, the gate watchers and other warriors in the Divine Tortoise Tribe present also followed suit.

"The Divine Tortoise Tribe swears its allegiance to you, Alliance Leader Leonhardt—No, Hegemon Leonhardt! The Divine Tortoise Tribe will be yours to command!" Chief Ironshield solemnly swore.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"Hegemon Leonhardt! Hegemon Leonhardt!" the surrounding warriors chanted with their blood boiling with excitement.

A descendent of the Black Turtle God Beast was more than qualified to lead their Divine Tortoise Tribe.

The person may lie, but his bloodline certainly won't. Regardless of how he obtained the Black Turtle Bloodline, it doesn't change the fact that he possessed the Black Turtle Bloodline.

"Hegemon Leonhardt, huh? It's a bit early to be calling me that," Leon slightly smiled with amusement.

"No, I believe you are fully qualified to be called Hegemon Leonhardt, my Lord!" Chief Ironshield argued.

"You already have the southern and western tribes under you. With the inclusion of the Divine Tortoise Tribe, you control roughly one-third of the Infertile Plains. I believe this is more than enough to qualify for hegemony."

"It's only a matter of time before the other tribes submit to you, my Lord," Chief Ironshield believed.

"I see. You have a point," Leon calmly nodded before saying, "That aside, I can see that your tribe is rather enthusiastic. What is the Divine Tortoise Tribe's relationship to the Black Turtle God Beast?"

"About that…"

…

…

…

As Leon chatted with Chief Ironshield, Rainshine and the others waited outside of the Divine Tortoise Tribe.

Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dahki were still in disbelief after hearing Nightingale's evaluation of Alliance Leader's combat prowess.

They find it unimaginable that someone who wasn't at the level of the Divine Beast Realm would possess the combat prowess of one, even if it was just based on Nightingale's impression and without any proof.

After all, there had to be some truth in her words. For example, even if the Alliance Leader's combat prowess didn't reach the same heights as Divine Beasts, it would still be close.

In other words, Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dahki could be certain that the Alliance Leader's combat prowess was at least at Extremity-rank Battle God or even Half-step Demon Lord.

"I can't believe such a strong person exists… Doesn't this mean the Alliance Leader's strength has already surpassed the Battle God from the Battle God Palace?" Chief Sar-Rahki wondered.

"Possibly," Chief Sul-Dahki replied.

"However, the Battle God didn't just become the Battle God because his strength reached that level. The Battle God wielded almighty shamanic power over metal before that. Thus, it's hard to say who is stronger."

"Hm?"

Chief Sul-Dahki suddenly noticed the pebbles and small rocks on the ground reverberating slightly before glancing up in the same direction as Rainshine, Nightingale, and Goldenstride.

At that moment, a large group of injured warriors in the distance was rushing towards their location—or rather, they were rushing towards the Divine Tortoise Tribe's entrance.

Without needing to guess, Chief Sul-Dahki and the others concluded who they were.

"They must be the warriors sent out by the Divine Tortoise Tribe. However, they seem to be chased by something," Chief Sul-Dahki narrowed his eyes to try and see further.

Chapter 1081 Returning Warriors

As the Divine Tortoise Tribe's injured warriors fled from their pursuers, they became increasingly desperate. The distance between them wasn't increasing; it was decreasing instead.

"Hurry! The Divine Tortoise Tribe is just within our sights! We'll be safe as long we can make it inside the tribe!" an injured Mid-rank Battle King shouted.

"Dammit! Just what the hell are those things?! Why don't they just die?!" a Low-rank Battle King cussed.

"They do die! However, every time they die, the others feed on their corpses and become stronger!"

"Dammit! I can't believe the other tribes couldn't take care of them! Physical attacks are basically useless against them!"

"If you have the spare energy to complain, then use it to reach the tribe first and have them open the gates ahead of time to receive us!"

"F*ck you! If you have the spare energy to lecture me, you can also use it to run ahead and reach the tribe first! I am already running at my quickest speed!"

"So am I!"

…

Rainshine and the others watched the group of injured warriors flee for their lives without moving from their location. They weren't inclined to help strangers.

Nevertheless, as injured warriors drew closer, their pursuers entered everyone's field of vision.

Rainshine and Goldenstride narrowed their eyes immediately.

"Those are… Whitebone Fiends!" Goldenstride quickly recognized the familiar creatures that crawled out of the abyss and attacked the Golden Suanni Clan.

The Whitebone Fiends had given the Golden Suanni Clan great trouble.

If not for the Golden Suanni Clan's large number of Paragons holding the fort, it was hard to imagine how many members of the Golden Suanni Clan would have lost their lives to the Whitebone Fiends.

Furthermore, they would have died without an intact corpse.

Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV

Nevertheless, the Golden Suanni Clan's Paragons still weren't enough to defeat the Whitebone Fiends.

If they weren't fortunate enough to have Cindertail and the Lord stepping in to save them, the Golden Suanni Clan would have most likely been destroyed by the Whitebone Fiends.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Goldenstride's gaze frosted with killing intent.

With a decisive step, Goldenstride's large body disappeared as he dashed forward, crossing a significant distance in a flash.

Swoosh!

Strong winds fluttered chaotically in his original location. Only Goldenstride's giant paw print was left behind on the ground.

"Something's coming! Be careful!" a Mid-rank Battle King shouted with alarm.

The Divine Tortoise Tribe's warriors immediately felt greater despair as the huge Golden Suanni rushed toward them with incredible momentum.

Given its giant mass, it was definitely an apex predator that stood at the top of the world. Even Battle Gods can only be at its mercy.

However, before the Divine Tortoise Tribe's warrior's despair could fall to rock bottom, Goldenstride's giant body soared over their heads. They weren't Goldenstride's targets.

Swoosh!

A powerful gust of wind followed.

Goldenstride reached the group of injured warriors' rear in no time and confronted the pursuing group of Whitebone Fiends with a mighty lion roar.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

Roar!

The ground shook, and the sky threatened to tear asunder under Goldenstride's mighty lion roar. Even the Whitebone Fiends were stunned by it.

The Whitebone Fiends' numbers weren't many, only a fraction of what the Golden Suanni Clan faced.

Even so, it still had an Early Paragon among them, and that was more than enough for the injured warriors to regard the Whitebone Fiends as unstoppable due to their assimilating ability and tenacious lifeforce.

Alas, the Divine Tortoise Tribe's warriors didn't retain that impression for long.

This Simple Trick Cuts Electric Bills by Up to 90%Smart Energy

The moment they saw Goldenstride's golden fur lit up with intense golden flames as Goldenstride plunged into the group of Whitebone Fiends, several of them paused their escape to look on with astonishment.

White giants that they previously thought to be unkillable were burnt to cinders in an instance, and their ashes soon scattered to the winds.

After Goldenstride took down the biggest target, he went for the smaller prey. Without any hesitation or reservation, Goldenstride burned them all to fine crisps and ashes with his True Samadhi Golden Flames.

All Whitebone Fiends had to be utterly destroyed and erased from existence. They cannot be given chances to grow.

Absolutely not!

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave while that Golden Suanni is preoccupied with those fiendish creatures!" a High-rank Battle Master urged the distracted warriors before barking, "Do you want to become its food later?!"

The warriors were immediately shocked after hearing that.

That's right! Just because the Golden Suanni was taking care of their enemies, it didn't mean the Golden Suanni was automatically on their side!

Run!

The injured warriors resumed running towards the Divine Tortoise Tribe's entrance without further delay.

However, it didn't take long before they were forced to stop in their tracks once again. The main gate was opened, and unfamiliar people were standing outside of it.

"W-who are you people?" the leading Mid-rank Battle King asked with alarm. Seeing the horns on Nightingale's head, everyone immediately assumed she was a demon and became shocked.

What was a demon doing in the Central Region?!

Nevertheless, Leon, Chief Ironshield, and the other tribesmen inside the Divine Tortoise Tribe had already heard the commotion outside and made their way out to check.

"What's going on here?" Chief Ironshield questioned the Mid-rank Battle King after spotting him.

The Mid-rank Battle King's eyes lit up with hope and excitement. After seeing Chief Ironshield, it was like all his problems and worries would be resolved right away.

"Chief! We've run into trouble! No, the entire Central Region has run into trouble!"

"I can see that," Chief Ironshield frowned at the warriors' injuries before noticing they were light-weighted. "Where are the spoils of your hunt? Did you fail? What kind of problem did you run into?"

As Chief Ironshield fired his questions, he also signaled the other warriors in the tribe to come forward and tend to the injured warriors' wounds.

"My deepest apologies, Chief! We were forced to leave the spoils of our hunts behind to flee from the fiendish creatures chasing us," the Mid-rank Battle King explained.

However, shortly after, he added, "We have to head inside right away, Chief! There's a powerful Golden Suanni right outside our tribe! We'll be in deep trouble once it turns its fangs and claws onto us!"

"No need. It is on our side," Leon calmly stated while staring into the distance with a slight frown.

Chapter 1082 Divine Tortoise Tribe's Problem

"It is on our side?" the Mid-rank Battle King glanced at Leon before his brows knitted together with confusion. "Who are you?"

"Don't be rude. This is our new lord, a descendent of the Black Turtle God Beast and the alliance leader of the southern and western tribes, Hegemon Leonhardt," Chief Ironshield introduced.

"Hegemon Leonhardt? Descendent of the Black Turtle God Beast?"

!!!

The Mid-rank Battle King and the other injured warriors froze with shock immediately when they looked at Leon. Doubts and confusion shortly surfaced in their eyes.

How is it possible for descendent of the Black Turtle God Beast to still exist?

"You do not need to doubt; it has been confirmed. Hegemon Leonhardt possessed the bloodline of the Black Turtle God Beast. It might not be from the same Black Turtle God Beast that we worship, but it is indeed the bloodline of a Black Turtle God Beast," Chief Ironshield vouched.

The Mid-rank Battle King and other injured warriors greeted Leon with solemn and respectful fist-palm salutes shortly after.

"We pay our respects to you, Hegemon Leonhardt!"

"There's no need for that. You are all injured. Head inside and rest," Leon waved his hand dismissively and said, "The issue here will be resolved shortly."

At the same time, Tier-3 All-Purpose Healing Pills flew out of Leon's hand and into the injured warriors' hands, much to their surprise.

"The Tier-3 All-Purpose Healing Pills will help your recovery," Leon calmly added.

During Leon's discussion with Chief Ironshield earlier, he had learned more about the Divine Tortoise Tribe.

Engineer reveals: How to save up to 90% on your electricity billSmart Energy

Much to Leon's surprise, the Divine Tortoise Tribe worshipped the Black Turtle God Beast. And the giant turtle shell protecting the Divine Tortoise Tribe had belonged to one such Black Turtle God Beast.

At first, Leon failed to recognize it due to the dense bloodstains and dirt accumulated on the giant turtle shell, which hid its original color.

However, a single sweep of Leon's divine sense allowed him to see through its true color.

Nevertheless, Leon didn't believe it was a true Black Turtle God Beast. It was most likely a powerful Divine Beast-level Black Turtle like the one sealed at the bottom of the Bone Sea.

But due to its immense size as a result of being a very rare Realm Turtle, the Divine Tortoise Tribe believed it was a God Beast from primordial times.

That being said, there was no real need for Leon to shatter their belief.

"Thank you, Hegemon!"

Shortly after the Mid-rank Battle King and injured warriors graciously accepted their pills and headed inside, Chief Ironshield followed Leon's gaze and glanced at the Whitebone Fiends being reduced to cinders in the distance.

"Do you know that they are, my Lord?" Chief Ironshield inquired after he noticed Leon seemed familiar with the strange creatures in the distance.

Furthermore, the white cat and the horny lady also seemed somewhat familiar with the creatures.

"Yeah, I ran into them before when I visited the Golden Suanni Clan in the heart of the western jungle. They can quite troublesome to deal with once many of them are exposed to the sunlight," Leon casually replied.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"This…"

Chief Ironshield didn't focus on the Whitebone Fiends being bathed in golden flames for long before shifting his gaze to giant Golden Suanni exterminating them.

Nevertheless, Goldenstride's Divine Beast-level aura amazed him, even though he had already learned there were two Divine Beasts beside Leon.

"Is that the leader of the Golden Suanni Clan, my Lord?" Chief Ironshield inquired with awe.

Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV

"Him? Goldenstride? No, he was just one of the many of the Peak Paragon leaders there before I came and helped them ascend to the Divine Beast Realm," Leon casually said before adding, "I am the leader of the Golden Suanni Clan."

"This…" Chief Ironshield was dumbfounded before his disbelief quickly turned into excitement. "This is incredible…!"

Chief Ironshield didn't doubt Leon's words; the lord had no reason to lie to him.

Nevertheless, if Chief Ironshield also knew that the land known as Demon's Territory and Starfall Dominion was also under Leon's rule, Chief Ironshield would have been completely flabbergasted.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Should we help Lord Goldenstride out?" Chief Ironshield wondered before he shortly realized the sheer foolishness of his own question.

A single Divine Beast was enough to dominate the entire Infertile Plains, let alone a small group of unknown creatures—no matter how peculiar their abilities may be.

"I've asked a foolish question, my Lord," Chief Ironshield said wryly.

Sometime later, Goldenstride finished exterminating all the Whitebone Fiends before rummaging through their mountain of scattering ashes.

After Goldenstride was utterly sure that there were no more Whitebone Fiends, he finally returned to Leon's side.

"The Whitebone Fiends have been completely annihilated, my Lord," Goldenstride reported.

"Un," Leon acknowledged Goldenstride's efforts with a nod before saying, "Though this was probably only a small detached group. Thus, we can't really say they are completely annihilated."

"There must be many more crawling out of the hole created from the earth-shaking crash," Chief Sul-Dahki added with a disgusted look.

It was only for a brief moment, but he had seen how the Whitebone Fiends tried to assimilate each other. He had never seen such weird creatures before.

"Right. We have no time to waste. The longer we leave those Whitebone Fiends be, the bigger the problem they will become. We will head to the hole's location right away," Leon stated.

"My Lord, I wish to follow you with some warriors, but I can't leave without solving the tribe's most pressing issue right now," Chief Ironshield said apologetically.

"Since the hunting team failed in procuring food for the tribe, I am not sure how much longer my tribesmen will continue to last before they start starving to death. I need to organize a new hunting team to secure the food the tribe needed to survive."

"How many people are there in the Divine Tortoise Tribe?" Leon asked after a short pause.

"I don't know the specific number, but over fifty thousand tribesmen in the Divine Tortoise Tribe, my Lord," Chief Ironshield answered.

"Fifty thousand tribesmen, huh?" Leon muttered with a weird look before saying, "Such a big tribe, and you only sent out roughly three hundred warriors to hunt?"

Chapter 1083 Food Shortage Easily Resolved

"That… a single Desolate Ox from Blackrock Region can feed many mouths, my Lord," Chief Ironshield explained.

"On average, a normal Lesser Demon-level Desolate Ox from the Blackrock Region can feed around five thousand mouths for three days. A Greater Demon-level Desolate Ox feed around seven thousand and five hundred mouths for the same period."

"As such, we only need to hunt ten Lesser Demon-level Desolate Oxen from the Blackrock Region to feed the whole tribe for three days. If we were to stretch out those three meals, we could even last a whole month."

"However, our warriors would suffer muscle loss and weakened if we do that," Chief Ironshield stated.

"I see," Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully before wondering, "What about an Arch Demon-level Desolate Ox? How many mouths can that feed?"

Chief Ironshield immediately smiled wryly after hearing Leon's question before he said, "My Lord, we haven't encountered any Arch Demon-level Desolate Oxen in the Blackrock Region."

"If the Desolate Oxen were powerful enough to reach the Arch Demon level, they wouldn't be treated like livestock in the Blackrock Region, my Lord. But assuming there was, I would assume they would be large enough to feed ten thousand mouths for five days."

"Look at it from another perspective; that would mean a single Arch Demon-level Desolate Ox could feed the whole Divine Tortoise Tribe for a day," Chief Ironshield thought.

"I see," Leon uttered.

A regular cow from before the Cataclysms would have only fed around a thousand to two thousand mouths on average.

Now, all the beasts had mutated to sizes that would have been unimaginable in the past.

Leon really wondered what the beasts in the Infertile Plains ate to live in such a desolate place. After all, there were no plants for herbivores to eat; they could only eat other beasts and humans.

But considering humans also hunt them for food, it was strange that beasts hadn't died out yet.

Nevertheless, none of that was Leon's concern for the time being.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "In any case, the Divine Tortoise Tribe only needs ten Lesser Demon-level Desolate Oxen's worth of meat to live comfortably for the next three days, right?"

"Yes, my Lord."

After getting Chief Ironshield's confirmation, Leon waved his hand and sprinkled some plant seeds into an empty plot of land outside of the Divine Tortoise Tribe.

Within several dozen breathes, seeds grew into hung towering banana trees under the support of Leon's Wood Law and the Worldspace's Life Energy.

Just like that, several thousands of bananas were riped for consumption within moments.

However, that wasn't what Leon was simply aiming for. He detached the giant banana leaves from the banana trees and laid them out neatly on another empty patch of land with his wood manipulation.

Once the clean banana leaf blanket was created on the ground, Leon unloaded large amounts of sea monster meat from his Worldspace on it.

Although it significantly depleted his sea monster meat reserve, he could always restock in the Radiant Heaven Realmship.

"Would this be enough food?" Leon casually asked, but in fact, it was more than enough food to support the Divine Tortoise Tribe for a month.

Gulp!

Chief Ironshield and several warriors swallowed hard on their saliva before rubbing their astounding eyes with great disbelief.

However, no matter how hard they rubbed their eyes, the small forest of banana trees and the big mountain of sea monster meat before them didn't disappear.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

It was certainly not an illusion, nor were they dreaming; it was very real.

"This is more than enough, my Lord!" Chief Ironshield answered with his gaze fixed on the sight before him. He found it hard to pull his gaze away.

It was unbelievable that the Divine Tortoise Tribe's food problem was resolved so quickly and effortlessly.

Chief Ironshield began to wonder whether Leon was a human or a god.

Either way, Chief Ironshield's respect for Leon was raised to a higher level—almost to the point of being Leon's devoted believer.

'This person was destined to lead the Infertile Plains!' many warriors thought.

"This… These are all sea monster meat, my Lord?" Chief Ironshield asked with astonishment, "Don't tell me… this was all gained from the secret realm? How did you manage to procure so much food, my Lord?"

Chief Ironshield could feel the vibrant energy contained within the sea monster meat. The quality was not low; it was definitely at least Lesser Demon-grade or above.

Furthermore, the freshness was still there.

According to Blackshell, the leader of Divine Tortoise Tribe's group that was sent to participate in the secret realm, everyone was kicked out early.

No one managed to reap many benefits from the secret realm – at least, that was believed to be the case.

Chief Ironshield stared at Leon with wide eyes, full of questions and doubts.

However, Leon casually smiled and replied, "Is that important, right now? Don't you have people starving inside the tribe? Those banana trees won't last either."

"Right! I was completely distracted, my Lord!" Chief Ironshield remembered what he had to do.

Shortly after, Chief Ironshield summoned warriors from the tribe to help with food transportation. The mountain of sea monster meat was slowly taken away by one grow while another group collected the bananas.

Only a few minutes had passed since then, but Leon had already noticed the roots of the banana tree were starting to die.

Infertile Plains' soil didn't just stop any plants from growing; it also killed them.

'If it's like this, the elves will be having a hard time cultivating anything in the Darkmoon Tribe,' Leon thought about the elves and slaves he brought over to the Dark Continent.

Without eliminating the root of the problem in the soil, it would be difficult for anything to grow on the Infertile Plains' soil.

Nevertheless, that was an issue for Leon to solve another time.

After Chief Ironshield finished making his arrangements in the Divine Tortoise Tribe, he returned to Leon's side with twenty other Battle Kings.

"I have brought some of our tribe's finest warriors. Please use them however you wish, my Lord. We are all at your command," Chief Ironshield stated.

"Understood," Leon acknowledged with a nod before saying, "Well then, let's not delay our trip any further. We head out now."

"Yes!"

Chapter 1084 Attracting Attention

Central Region.

In the land that used to belong to the Mid-rank Tribe, Valiant Steelhorn Tribe, not a trace of it remained on the surface. Only a giant hole—No, an enormous crater with a seemingly bottomless and giant hole at its center had replaced it.

However, the high hills that rose on the enormous crater's perimeters during the formation of the impact had also hidden the giant hole from being seen on flat land.

The entrance to the dark abyss was only visible from high grounds in the region.

At that moment, the entire region was crawling with Whitebone Fiends, both large and small ones. The sounds of ongoing battle continued on the north, east, and south sides of the crater.

Rows of Battle Masters and Battle Kings fought hard to hold their defensive line and stand their ground, but they were pushed back further and further as the Whitebone Fiends grew in strength and numbers.

Only the western side's defensive line had completely collapsed—or rather, there wasn't really one, to begin with.

Each battlefront was led by one of the King-rank tribes; the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe led the north, the Black Warbear Tribe led the south, while the Battle God Palace and Holy Sunfire Tribe jointly led the east.

Only the Divine Tortoise Tribe was not present to guard the west side. As such, the weaker tribes guarding the west side easily collapsed under the Whitebone Fiends' relentless onslaught.

Nevertheless, at that moment, Chief Ironshield arrived at the top of a steep hill on the western side with Leon and the rest of the group. They immediately had a clear view of the situation ahead.

"No wonder the hunting team's leader advised me to bring the tribe's full army with me… A few hundred elites wouldn't be enough to hold back these monsters, let alone a few monsters…" Chief Ironshield commented with surprise.

The Whitebone Fiends' numbers were startling, and their strength was worrying.

However…

Chief Ironshield slowly shifted his gaze to Goldenstride before he added, "But it doesn't matter how many men I bring. Lord Goldenstride is enough to deal with this situation."

A Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni with its awakened bloodline was no different from a god to mortals – at least, that was what Chief Ironshield believed.

After all, the immense strength that Divine Beasts wielded was far beyond his understanding.

"Goldenstride, Nightingale, the both of you go and help out with the north and south sides. Their defensive lines are about to collapse under the Whitebone Fiends' relentless assault,"

"Yes, my Lord!"

Goldenstride and Nightingale quickly complied after receiving Leon's order. With a single glance, Leon had seen through the battle situation.

Out of the four battlefronts, the west had long collapsed, which applied extra pressure on the north and south sides, which were already struggling to fend off the Whitebone Fiends.

Only the eastern side was doing very well as they had the combined strength of the Battle God Palace and the Holy Sunfire Tribe.

However, the force contributing the most in the battle clearly belonged to the Holy Sunfire Tribe.

With the unique fire abilities of the Holy Sunfire Tribe, their warriors didn't just successfully defend the eastern side; they dominated it and laid waste to the Whitebone Fiends before they could grow strong enough to pose a problem.

"Fire! We need to fire to destroy these monsters! Physical damage is far from enough! Why haven't we received support from the rear team yet?! Why need firewood and oil to start a big fire!" a High-rank Battle King from the Black Warbear Tribe barked.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"The other tribes aren't that close from here, my Lord! It would take time to gather the resources from the tribes and transport them here!" an Extremity-rank Battle Master of the same tribe replied.

"Time! We don't have time! Our defensive line is about to collapse!" the High-rank Battle King's pupils shrank with a grim look at the situation.

"My Lord, something is coming from the western sky!" another warrior alerted.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Hm?"

Unbelievable! A genius invents an AI that reduces your electricity consumption by up to 90%!Smart Energy

At that moment, Nightingale had already taken flight into the sky and soared over to the southern side as Goldenstride had chosen the northern side.

Many people were quickly surprised to see someone—or rather, something was flying over their sky.

However, their surprises quickly turned into horror.

They witnessed Nightingale's body rapidly expand during her transformation back into her Earth Dragon form. Her huge body cast a massive shadow over the dark land, darkening it further.

"Oh my god, what is that thing?! T-that… is that a dragon?!" a warrior exclaimed with shock and horror.

They already had enough trouble dealing with the Whitebone Fiends. If they were also attacked by the dragon, their defensive line would immediately collapse, and sooner or later, they would be wiped out!

Before long, Nightingale spewed dark flames from her mouth and rained black hellfire on the Whitebone Fiends below.

Lesser Demons, Greater Demons, Arch Demons – It didn't matter how strong the Whitebone Fiends were; they all fell under Nightingale's powerful dark flames.

"T-t-t-this…! Lord Nightingale was a dragon?! No, more importantly, she an earth dragon that could fly?!"

Chief Ironshield and the two chiefs from the western tribe stared at Nightingale's shadow in the distance with sheer disbelief.

Even after they witnessed Nightingale's transformation with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe what they saw.

They found it somewhat strange that someone human-like was also considered a Divine Beast, but they never imagined Nightingale to actually be one!

"What kind of power is this? How can Lord Nightingale levitate in the sky with her immense body? No, where did all that mass even come from? Is it even possible for living beings to undergo such drastic physical transformations?" Chief Sul-Dahki uttered with wide eyes.

…

Meanwhile, Goldenstride decimated the sea of Whitebone Fiends on the northern side with True Samadhi Golden Flames.

However, his efforts were only noticed and admired by the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe and its subordinate tribes on the northern side.

Everyone else's attention was on Nightingale on the southern side.

Even though they were both Divine Beasts capable of flight, Nightingale garnered more attention and respect from the warriors on the battlefield.

Goldenstride was the king of the jungle, but the Nightingale was the true ruler of the sky!

Chapter 1085 Mighty Whitewolf Tribe's Shock

"My Lord, it's a Golden Suanni from the far western jungle, and it's an especially powerful one at that! I… I think it might be even more powerful than Arch Demons—A Demon Lord! It must be a Demon Lord-level Golden Suanni!" a warrior from the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe alerted.

"I can see that," Chief Silvertooth of the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe calmly replied, but he was just as shocked as anyone else deep inside his heart. Even so, he had to maintain the composure of a leader on the surface.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "A Golden Suanni with the strength of a Demon Lord is called a Divine Beast. I've only heard the stories, but to think a Divine Beast actually existed all this time. Furthermore, it came all this way to the Central Region… It must have something to do with the Golden Suanni Tribe."

"They've hidden their cards too deeply; to think they actually managed to move a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni…"

Chief Silvertooth shook his head with a sigh and said, "This battle for hegemony was meaningless. There was only one sole candidate for hegemony from the start."

"Does that mean we have no choice but to listen to the Golden Suanni Tribe in the future?" the warriors felt some unwillingness in their hearts.

They found it hard to serve another tribe that hadn't been well-known previously.

Furthermore, the Golden Suanni Tribe was borrowing the strength of others. It wasn't like they, themselves, were strong.

If not for the Golden Suanni Clan behind them, the Golden Suanni Tribe would hardly qualify as their Mighty Whitewolf Tribe's opponent.

"Otherwise, what? Do you think our Mighty Whitewolf Tribe or any tribe stand the slightest chance against a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni?" Chief Silvertooth glanced at the unwilling warriors.

"I've never heard or even seen a Golden Suanni with golden flames like this one. It must be a unique ability that only purer bloodlines could awaken. That means this Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni is noble even among the Golden Suannis in the clan."

"There isn't a single person in the Infertile Plains that can stand up against such a powerful beast. Not even the Battle God from the Battle God Palace was this powerful during his prime, not to mention don't hear from the Battle God anymore."

"Given these circumstances, who else can contest the Golden Suanni Tribe for hegemony?" Chief Silvertooth asked.

However, even then, Chief Silvertooth was not finished.

"Furthermore, if the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni had not come to our aid, this place would have most likely been our grave. As such, we, the people of the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe, owe our lives to the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni."

"You speak too seriously, Chief. If we couldn't defeat these creatures, we could always—"

"Always, what? Retreat and flee from the battlefield like cowards? The Mighty Whitewolf Tribe only has warriors, not cowards."

"You're right, Chief. I have misspoken," the warrior reflected on his words before focusing on the battlefield ahead, which had been completely transformed into a sea of golden flames.

The army of Whitebone Fiends on the northern side had been completely decimated by the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni.

If that had not been the case, they wouldn't even have the luxury to chat so idly.

"The strength of the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni is truly unfathomable," Chief Silvertooth sighed with envy and reverence before saying, "It might not be a bad idea following the Golden Suanni Tribe's lead."

"With the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni around, forget about the Infertile Plains; we have a chance at dominating the entire continent and ridding the demons for good!"I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

After Chief Silvertooth said that, the other warriors could not help but feel their blood boil with excitement and anticipation.

Nevertheless, that vision was soon shattered by dark flames entering the picture.

"What's wrong, Goldenstride? You're a bit slow over here. I've already cleaned up my side of the battle and came to help," Nightingale chortled as she flew in and laid waste to the land with her black hellfire.

The new batch of Whitebone Fiends climbing over the top of the crater were quickly turned into black charcoal. A few moments later, the charcoal crumbled into ashes and scattered in the wind.

"Since when was this a competition, Lord Nightingale?" Goldenstride replied wryly, but still, he increased his rate of extermination.

Although Nightingale made a jab at Goldenstride, Goldenstride showed Nightingale great respect even when they were both Divine Beasts.

After all, Nightingale had saved the Golden Suanni Clan, even if it was under the Lord's order.

"A competition makes things more interesting, no?" Nightingale coolly replied with a slight smile.

Nightingale casually chatted like she was taking a stroll in the park despite annihilating hundreds of Whitebone Fiends in the same moment.

"I suppose," Goldenstride replied after some thought before asking, "But if you came over, I presume you also cleaned up the western side, Lord Nightingale?"

"Err…" Nightingale was stunned by the question.

…

Meanwhile, Chief Silvertooth and the other warriors on the northern side of the crater were all shocked by the appearance of the huge flying earth dragon.

"W-what kind of situation is this? There wasn't just a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni but also a Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon?" a Mid-rank Battle King exclaimed with shock.

"Furthermore, they appear to be quite familiar with each other! There's no way the Golden Suanni Tribe could have gained the cooperation of both the Golden Suanni and the Earth Dragon. They've not that capable; I'm sure of it!"

It was already hard to accept that the Golden Suanni Tribe could mobilize a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni from the Golden Suanni Clan.

As such, many warriors agreed with the Mid-rank Battle King's statement.

"That Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon came from the other side of the crater… But according to their words, it seems like the Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon original came from the same western direction as the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni…" Chief Silvertooth analyzed.

After pondering for a bit, Chief Silvertooth said, "Let's head to the western side of the crater. There's nothing left for us to do here."

"Perhaps, over there, we can even find the answer as to why there are two Divine Beasts here."

"Yes, Chief!"
