Sadius managed to save Lina, but in doing so, one of his arms was cleaved off by Goldfeather.
Fortunately, this was merely his Dark God clone. The body could be reconstructed again with divine power.
"Haha! You only have a single God clone here. Let's see how you deal with this!"
Sadius placed Lina protectively behind him, his gaze fixed intently on the crowd before him.
If his true body had been here, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. Wiping out this bunch wouldn't be difficult.
He had to think of a way to stall for time.
It had already been so long, yet there was still no message from Beirut.
It seemed that sly old fox wanted to sit back and watch the show.
Sadius also knew—this was his time to perform.
Beirut was definitely watching this battle. As long as he performed well enough to satisfy him, once he became a Highgod, he should directly be granted a Sovereign Spark.
"Kill!" Sadius no longer hesitated.
The true essence of the Destruction and Slaughter Sword Dao was to kill—enemies or oneself—advancing ever forward without retreat. That was his nature.
With his divine sword in hand, Sadius clashed ceaselessly with the attacking Goldfeather.
Goldfeather soon realized something was wrong.
Sadius didn't seem to care about the injuries piling up on his body. He was like a madman, continuously swinging his sword.
Goldfeather was already weaker than Sadius.
Now that Sadius was barely defending at all, the sudden ferocity left Goldfeather unable to withstand the assault.
Goldfeather fell back step after step, not daring to get close to Sadius.
The two sides reached another stalemate.
Seeing this, Sadius immediately threw Lina back into the planar passage.
"Go back. Tell everyone to hide inside the Pouant Imperial Palace. Until I return, no one is allowed to come out." Sadius sent his voice directly into her mind.
The Pouant Imperial Palace had been fortified with magic arrays laid down by Sadius himself. Ordinary Gods would never be able to breach it.
Given the circumstances, all he could do was ensure the safety of the core members of his faction.
Sadius stood his ground at the entrance to the planar passage for a while longer. Once he sensed Lina should have already departed, he no longer hesitated and began the true battle in earnest.
"I, Sadius, Sovereign Emissary under the Redbud Sovereign, warn you all one final time—should anyone cross this planar passage, whether to the Four Supreme Planes, the Seven Divine Planes, or the endless Material Planes, I will issue a Pursuit Order and hunt you down forever!"
Sadius' voice echoed throughout the entire planar prison.
Everyone was stunned.
Sadius…was a Sovereign's Emissary?
But shouldn't a Sovereign's Emissary possess a Sovereign artifact? Why was he wielding just an ordinary mid-tier divine artifact?
Goldfeather frowned. Considering Sadius' rare triple-soul-variant nature, it was indeed possible that he was truly a Sovereign's Emissary.
"Hmph! Charge out! So what if he's a Sovereign's Emissary? I know a Palace Lord in the Infernal Realm who's also a Sovereign's Emissary. As long as we escape this planar prison and reach the Infernal Realm, we'll have a Sovereign's Emissary to protect us!"
The other Gods didn't dare to move. After all, Beirut was also a Sovereign's Emissary. The impression Sovereign's Emissaries left on everyone was that they were invincible among Gods.
Goldfeather's brows knitted tightly.
"I told you to charge!!" Goldfeather swung his sword, instantly killing a mid-tier God.
The gathered Gods were shocked. It seemed they had no choice but to move.
Even though Sadius' threats carried immense weight…Goldfeather could kill them right now.
They had no choice but to obey, unleashing attacks as they rushed toward Sadius.
"Kill!" Sadius no longer held back.
Wielding his divine sword, he unleashed continuous fusions of profound mysteries.
Gods fell one after another beneath his blade.
Sadius stopped blocking the passage entrance and instead focused entirely on attacking Goldfeather.
Only by killing the ringleader could he force the rest to retreat.
His sword slashed again and again, Sadius paying no heed to the cost as he relentlessly attacked Goldfeather.
Goldfeather could only dodge frantically.
Sadius' attacks were far too terrifying. He was starting to believe Sadius really was a Sovereign's Emissary.
But so what? At this point, the two were already mortal enemies. Today, only one would survive!
The surrounding space was continuously torn apart by their battle.
Seeing this, the other Gods immediately fled. None dared approach.
Meanwhile, deep within the Starmist Sea, Sadius' true body exhaled a long breath.
Finally—through the battle of his Dark God clone and the shared insights of his other clones—
The third heterogenous fusion of profound mysteries was complete.
The Pulsating Earth Profound Mystery had been fully fused with the Dark Element Profound Mystery.
Next, he would soon be able to completely fuse three heterogenous mysteries—the Destruction and Slaughter Sword Dao, the Pulsating Earth Profound Mystery, and the Dark Element Profound Mystery.
"Come. Let's complete the fusion of mysteries through battle!"
At this moment, Sadius' three bodies all stood up. Then, they actually flew out of the metallic lifeform, hovering above it.
"What is Lord doing?" the others murmured in curiosity.
They saw Sadius' true body holding the Sovereign artifact, Amethyst Sword, his Earth God clone holding the God Spark Sword, and his Destruction God clone wielding the Violet Blood Sword.
The three clones began sparring with each other!
Everyone stared in shock at this bizarre sight.
Only Dylin seemed to grasp a hint of understanding.
He had independently cultivated the Edicts of Destruction to reach the Midgod level. Naturally, he could see that Sadius was deducing the fusion of profound mysteries.
To fuse two heterogenous mysteries into one dual fusion was already extremely difficult. To further merge it into a triple heterogenous fusion was no simple feat.
Between different elemental series, there were inevitably massive conflicts. To achieve full fusion, one had to balance them perfectly.
The three Sadius clones kept clashing, gradually reaching a rhythm.
A dual heterogenous fusion was stronger than even a fourfold fusion of mysteries within a single element series.
That was because fused divine power was superior to pure single-series divine power, allowing it to slightly surpass a fourfold fusion of same-series mysteries.
But a triple heterogenous fusion? That was far beyond even a fivefold fusion of same-series mysteries!
Combined with three-series fused divine power, its might would absolutely reach an invincible level beneath Great Perfection.
Comparable to Leylin before he became a Sovereign, or Mo Si of Miluo Island.
Unless a Great Perfection expert appeared, no one could defeat it.
At this moment—The mist within the Starmist Sea seemed to be stirred by something.
In the distance, a streak of purple lightning appeared in an instant.
Before entering the Starmist Sea, everyone had done their homework.
When lightning appeared within the Starmist Sea, it meant the terrifying Sea Fog Riot was coming.
When that happened, an apocalyptic storm would descend. Even powerhouses at the Seven-Star Fiend level wouldn't dare remain outside.
"Lord, the Sea Fog Riot is coming!" Dylin and the others immediately sent urgent mental messages.
But Sadius was already in a state of epiphany. How could he pay them any mind?
The three bodies continued battling relentlessly.
Boom!
A terrifying bolt of lightning crashed down from above.
Sadius didn't dodge.
All three of his clones simultaneously unleashed the barely-stabilized triple heterogenous fusion technique, slashing toward the lightning.
The sword energy carrying terrifying power collided with the lightning.
The sword energy dissipated, the lightning's force weakened—but it still carried horrifying might as it descended toward Sadius.
Another wave of sword energy slashed out.
That terrifying bolt of lightning… was actually split apart by Sadius.
"What?!"
Everyone stared in disbelief.
Sadius had actually dispersed the terrifying lightning of the Starmist Sea!
Inside the Gebados Planar Prison, the insights of the other clones were instantly shared with Sadius' Dark God clone without any delay.
The battle between Sadius and Goldfeather now entered total suppression.
Even without fully completing the triple fusion, Goldfeather was no longer his match.
Seeing the situation, Goldfeather had no choice but to retreat once again.
"You two! Still not going to act? Do you want to stay trapped in this damned planar prison forever?!" Goldfeather immediately roared.
