At this moment, the other two Kings from the remaining cities within the Planar Prison had already arrived nearby.
They had been watching silently from a distance.
As three of the Five Great Kings, none of them were anything less than Seven-Star Fiend-level experts. Among them were even those at the very peak of the Seven-Star Fiend tier.
Initially, they only planned to observe.
After all, the Yulan Plane was Beirut's territory. They were no match for Beirut.
In fact, most of them had offended Beirut in the past, which was why they had been thrown into the Planar Prison to begin with.
Even if they were to escape, it was very likely that Beirut would simply throw them back in again.
So when Goldfeathers secretly transmitted his voice, offering them a way out of the Planar Prison, they weren't particularly tempted.
Until Goldfeathers promised to take them to the Netherworld to pledge allegiance to a Palace Lord, they finally agreed to come—but even then, they still remained cautious, watching from a distance.
Goldfeathers was furious, grinding his teeth.
When they saw Goldfeathers failing to match Sadius, the two finally made their move.
Now, three Seven-Star Fiend-level powerhouses moved against Sadius alone.
They didn't believe Sadius could overpower the three of them combined.
After all, the strength Sadius had displayed, while terrifying, was nowhere near the level of someone like Beirut.
One was a Seven-Star Fiend of the Edicts of Light, another was a Seven-Star Fiend of the Edicts of Fire, and the last was a Seven-Star Fiend of the Edicts of Fate.
The three unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously, merging material strikes with soul assaults, all aiming to kill Sadius.
"Hmph!"
Sadius' divine sword continuously cleaved through the air, facing three opponents at once.
With each strike, his sword techniques grew fiercer, each blade stroke stronger than the last.
All of his divine clones were working together in perfect Euniceon.
Within the Infernal Realm, in the terrifying Misty Sea, a great storm began to surge.
A monstrous tempest of fog and lightning erupted violently.
It reminded Sadius of the time he had fought Dolantell in the Necropolis of the Gods.
But Dolantell had only been a Midgod—his ultimate move paled in comparison to the ferocity of this Misty Sea storm.
Sadius suddenly unified his body and flew beneath the metallic lifeform, heading straight toward the very center of the storm.
The lightning there was even more terrifying.
His Sovereign weapon continuously sliced through the sky; the bolts of lightning couldn't even touch Sadius' body.
From afar, a passing metallic lifeform caught sight of this scene and was utterly shocked.
"Who in the world is this man, able to resist the lightning within the Misty Sea storm? Could he be…a Paragon?"
At that exact moment, another figure approached from a distance.
That man locked his gaze onto Sadius, his face full of disbelief—someone else was flying freely within the Misty Sea storm, just like him.
This newcomer was Lomio Bornes.
At this time, Lomio was in the crucial phase of Four Fusions toward Five Fusions.
He could feel it: within just a few hundred more years, he might successfully complete his fusion and ascend to the level of a Palace Lord.
But right now, he still didn't dare venture too deeply into the very heart of the storm. The lightning there was far too terrifying. Only after he succeeded in fully achieving Five Fusions would his body be capable of enduring the might of such lightning.
Yet not far away, he saw a man dissolving the lightning bolts with mere sword strikes.
Such terrifying power!
"I must fight this person!"
Seeing that Sadius hadn't yet flown into the exact storm center, Lomio immediately flew toward him.
"Misty Sea of Stars—Lomio Bornes challenges you!" Lomio's voice rang out.
Sadius was in the midst of cleaving through bolts of lightning. Previously, it had taken him five or six strikes to disperse a single bolt.
Now, he only needed two or three strikes.
He could sense it—if he could casually shatter lightning with a single blow, his Tri-elemental Variant Fusion Profound Mysteries would soon be fully completed.
Sadius hadn't expected anyone to challenge him at such a moment.
Lomio?
Could it be the same Highgod powerhouse that Linley had encountered in the Misty Sea of Stars in the original timeline?
That man was said to have Palace Lord–level strength, though perhaps only at the lowest tier among Palace Lords.
Even so, he was still one of Infernal Realm's top figures.
"Challenge me? If you lose, I'll have you serve me for a million years!"
Previously, when Sadius had subdued subordinates, he only required them to obey him for a few thousand or tens of thousands of years.
But that was because their strength was too weak; it wasn't worth enslaving them for long.
Lomio, however, was different.
This man's power was ranked among the very best in Infernal Realm.
If he also possessed a sovereign weapon, he would easily be mid-tier among Palace Lords.
Naturally, Sadius would gladly have such a person under his control.
"Then if you lose?"
"Then I'll serve you for a million years as well."
"Good!" Lomio answered without hesitation.
Lomio was just about to fight Sadius when he saw Sadius withdraw his sovereign sword.
"This divine sword is a sovereign weapon. If it defeats you, that wouldn't be true skill."
Instead, Sadius took out the Violet Blood Divine Sword.
Among his three divine swords, the Violet Blood Sword was of comparatively lower material quality and slightly weaker in power.
"That's the Violet Blood Sword of the Violet Blood Fiend?" Lomio recognized it instantly.
The combat projections of the Violet Blood Fiend were everywhere in Infernal Realm; naturally, Lomio recognized this weapon.
"Yes. I'll use this sword to battle you—it won't be unfair."
"Fine. Then let's begin!"
Immediately, the two began fighting amidst the raging storm.
From afar, Doehring and the others watched this scene in utter shock.
It was one thing for Sadius to withstand lightning in the storm.
But now, another lightning-element Highgod had appeared, able to endure the strikes of lightning with his body—it was even more astonishing.
The power of their attacks was so intense that even Infernal Realm's space itself began to tear with countless rifts.
Sadius was thoroughly enjoying this sensation—his fused profound mysteries continued to evolve.
As they battled, the two instinctively drew closer to the very center of the storm.
Lomio was also fighting with exhilaration.
He often spent his free time hunting down bandits in the Misty Sea of Stars—he had always despised bandits with a deep hatred.
"Lomio, you've noticed the nature of my technique, haven't you?"
"Three-element Fusion Profound Mysteries? It's said that in all four supreme planes and the seven divine planes, there has only been one recorded case of a tri-elemental soul mutation. That person was unrivaled beneath the Paragon level. I never imagined that countless years later, a second tri-elemental soul mutation would appear. Rumor has it that the complete fusion of three variant profound mysteries is even stronger than the fusion of five same-type profound mysteries. I really want to see what level of power that is!"
"Perhaps you'll see it today."
The two had already fought their way dangerously close to the storm's very core.
Bolts of lightning like serpents filled the sky, even Lomio didn't dare approach too closely.
Meanwhile, Sadius' ultimate technique grew increasingly perfect.
Whether it was the Profound Mysteries of Darkness, the Pulsating Earth, or the Destruction and Slaughter Sword Dao, Sadius was merging all of them in the direction of pure offense.
Thus, this move was a purely offensive ultimate technique.
At this moment, Sadius' combat power was completely overwhelming Lomio.
Yet Lomio didn't admit defeat.
As Sadius grew stronger, how could he not also be growing stronger?
He was already at the threshold of Four Fusions toward Five—this battle could very well be the key to his breakthrough.
The two fought for an unknown length of time.
Then, the Misty Sea storm reached its most violent climax.
Countless bolts of lightning erupted outward like divine pEunicehment itself.
By now, the two were completely bathed in lightning.
"Hah! Break!"
Both of them roared almost simultaneously.
Both felt as if a shackle within themselves had been shattered.
Lomio successfully achieved Five Fusions.
And Sadius…completely fused the three variant profound mysteries into one!
