The power of the main deity within the body dispersed into divine consciousness under the control of Roy's willpower, instantly allowing Roy to perceive the entire Blood Peak Continent.
"Over here."
Sensing the battle through divine consciousness, Roy's complexion turned unsightly, and the murderous aura emanating from him made the surrounding members of the main deity legion feel as if they were in an icy abyss.
...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Shelley was knocked back relentlessly by Douglas's attacks, resembling a sandbag, blood gushing from her mouth.
If it weren't for Shelley's fiery red main deity power that could instantly heal her injuries, she would have perished long ago under Douglas's attacks.
The battle had been going on like this for nearly half a day.
It was only due to a negligence in replenishing her main deity power after its consumption that Shelley's fire-elemental divine clone was directly killed by Douglas.
As for the remaining wind-elemental divine clone, because it only possessed the strength of a five-star demon and didn't synchronize well with the fire-elemental main deity power, even when using the main deity power, it wasn't a match for Douglas.
Even when Douglas also used the main deity power, Snow Lei had no ability to fight back.
If it weren't for the considerable amount of main deity power in her possession, she would have died long ago.
At this moment, Shelley's thoughts were not about killing Douglas but rather about exhausting all the main deity power in her spatial ring before her death.
She would never allow someone like him to obtain all the main deity power in her spatial ring.
Otherwise, more members of the Four Divine Beast families would become easy targets for someone seeking the main deity power.
Throughout the past half day, Shelley had used a drop of main deity power every few hundred breaths.
Up to this point, there were less than fifty drops of main deity power left in her spatial ring.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Douglas's eyes were ablaze with fury as he relentlessly unleashed his attacks on Shelley.
It was this woman who had caused significant losses to his actions this time.
More than a hundred lower-ranked deities, more than twenty middle-ranked deities, and three upper-ranked deities had fallen, killed by this woman.
He had used up more than thirty drops of main deity power just to kill her fire-elemental divine clone.
The main deity power within Shelley's spatial ring had become something he regarded as already in his pocket.
However, this woman persistently consumed more than two hundred drops of main deity power right under his nose, causing Douglas unbearable heartache.
"Boom!"
Shelley blocked with her long sword but was sent flying by Douglas, spitting out blood once again.
Unlike kriss, who hadn't experienced much combat, Shelley was an elder of the Four Divine Beast families, having undergone countless battles.
In her fight against Douglas, she dodged whenever possible and endured when she couldn't, even enduring severe injuries to buy time to replenish her divine body with main deity power.
So, although every strike from Douglas could severely injure Shelley, he couldn't truly deliver a fatal blow.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the dimming fiery red light on Shelley once again shining brightly, Douglas became anxious. Gritting his teeth, he once again retrieved a drop of fire-elemental main deity power from his spatial ring.
A surging momentum emanated from Douglas, and the black-red long spear emitted a faint fiery red glow.
Glancing at his subordinates who were watching from a distance, a hint of ruthlessness appeared on Douglas's face.
This move was his ultimate card, which he hadn't intended to use originally.
But now, for the main deity power in this woman's spatial ring, he had no choice but to use it.
If this continued, all the main deity power might be exhausted by her.
He could simply kill this woman and then eliminate all his subordinates.
Anyway, as long as he survived, he could easily recruit new subordinates and establish a new "Hell Scorpion" organization anywhere.
"Boom!"
A giant purple scorpion figure appeared behind Douglas.
The rich fire-elemental main deity power tainted this phantom with a purplish-red hue.
"Innate Divine Ability?"
This bandit leader, Douglas, was actually a divine beast?
"Are you going all out?"
Anyone from the Four Divine Beast families who awakened their divine beast bloodline could utilize their innate divine abilities.
The Azure Dragon clan's innate divine ability, "Dragon's Roar," could manipulate time, a potent ability for both combat and support.
The White Tiger clan's innate divine ability, "Tiger's Roar," could shatter space, dealing powerful physical damage to enemies, almost reaching the attack power of a seven-star demon against normal upper-ranked deities.
The Vermilion Bird clan's innate divine ability, "Phoenix's Cry," was a soul attack, burning the opponent's soul energy. For every unit of soul energy burned, it consumed ten times that of the enemy's.
However, it could be defended by a soul defense artifact and countered by a soul attack. Faced with opponents possessing soul attack abilities and soul defense artifacts, its practicality wasn't very strong.
The Black Tortoise clan's innate divine ability, "Turtle's Roar," could bind space, trapping opponents in a space from which they couldn't escape. The stronger the soul energy, the stronger the spatial confinement.
Main deity power was powerful, but it could only enhance strength and restore divine bodies, not replenish soul energy.
Once Shelley used her innate divine ability, consuming a large amount of soul energy, her own condition would deteriorate. Would she still be able to buy herself time to restore her divine body?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A vast amount of soul energy condensed at the massive purplish-red scorpion's tail behind Douglas, forming a black poisonous needle.
"Soul-devouring Poisonous Needle!"
"Phoenix's Cry!"
Shelley's face paled as a vermilion bird's phantom appeared behind her, wings spread wide, emitting a clear cry.
The cry of the vermilion bird collided with the shooting soul-devouring poisonous needle, igniting a fierce fire on the needle. With a "sizzle" sound, half of this meter-long poisonous needle was burnt away instantly.
Unfortunately, the speed of the soul-devouring poisonous needle remained unaffected, rapidly flying towards Snow Lei despite the fire burning on it.
In her heart, Shelley felt intense unwillingness.
There were still more than twenty drops of main deity power in her spatial ring.
If it weren't for kriss following her to Hell and dying here, she would have fled long ago. How could she foolishly fight to the death with this bandit leader?
Having lived for so many years, Shelley had long understood that the Four Divine Beast ancestors were supreme main deities. They were the greatest heritage of the Four Divine Beast families, providing vast amounts of main deity power but unable to participate in battles among gods.
The true individuals who could help the Four Divine Beast families were powerful figures like Elder Roy.
She hoped that her death would appease Elder Roy's anger and prevent any rift from forming between him and the family.
"Buzz!"
Just when Shelley thought she was about to die, she felt the surrounding space seemed to freeze.
It felt like being enveloped by the domain of a divine-level expert during the Sacred Domain, rendering her unable to move involuntarily.
The black poisonous needle remained motionless on Shelley's forehead, and she could even see the terrified expression on Douglas's face through the needle.
A hand gripped the burning soul-devouring poisonous needle in Shelley's sight.
Neither the flames on the poisonous needle nor the venom capable of devouring souls had any effect on this hand.
"Crack!"
With a light squeeze, the poisonous needle shattered like glass in the hand.
Meanwhile, Douglas suffered a backlash from his innate divine ability being broken and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
"Roy, Elder Roy."
At this moment, the surrounding space finally returned to normal.
And naturally, Shelley saw the two figures that appeared in front of her.
"Elder Roy, it's him, he killed my fire-elemental divine clone!"
At this moment, kriss had recovered from her shock, pointing at Douglas and pulling Roy's hand. "Elder Roy, you have to avenge me."
"Okay."
After nodding to Chris, Roy looked at Shelley. "Elder Shelley, are you okay?"
Shelley barely forced out a smile. "I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Elder Roy."
"Just that I failed to protect Chris's divine clone..."
Roy raised his hand to stop Shelley's apology. "Let's discuss this matter later. I'll deal with these people first."
...
"How is this possible? How can someone be so strong?"
At this moment, Douglas was filled with regret.
He was a seven-star demon empowered by main deity power, and his innate divine ability was actually crushed by someone's mere grip?
And just what was that feeling earlier?
So terrifying!
Could this person be a main deity?
When he heard the words of the girl who looked exactly like the first person he killed except for her hair color, Douglas felt even more terrified.
If he knew that behind this group of people was such a terrifying figure, wouldn't he hesitate even if he had main deity power or main deity artifacts?
Immediately, Douglas's main deity power erupted, and he flew at his fastest speed towards Iron Knife Gorge.
Too terrifying.
Hell was no longer a place to stay!
Seeing the leader escape, the bandits of the Hell Scorpion gang understood that things had turned dire. The surviving upper-ranked deity bandits flew away one after another.
"Can they escape?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Roy's eyes.
Staring ahead—
"Twisted Demon Eyes!"
Instantly, the space where these upper-ranked deity bandits were located began to twist like a whirlpool. Their divine bodies were twisted into a bunch of twisted ropes by immense twisting force, and screams echoed as black space cracks devoured them.
Then, Roy extended his right hand towards the fleeing Douglas.
"Bansho Tein!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Douglas was pulled back by Roy at an even faster speed than before, then grabbed by the neck.
"Sir, it's, it's a misunderstanding..."
Douglas cried and begged Roy for mercy.
