"Boom!"
The mountain descended as if in slow motion yet hastened.
The space beneath five element mountain emitted groans as if unable to bear the weight, cracks forming and tearing apart everything within it.
As five element mountain drew closer to the ground, the spatial rifts became more frequent and intense.
"Sizzling..."
Under the crimson divine power, wounds torn open by spatial rifts on Kolkraf's body appeared and then swiftly healed, yet countless streams of blood turned him into a figure drenched in crimson.
With such injuries, Kolkraf couldn't hold on, collapsing to the ground, his voice already hoarse.
"Is that Elder Roy?"
The metallic beings - Snow, Lei, and the other two - were utterly speechless.
"So powerful!"
They all knew Elder Roy was a formidable Seven-Star Demon.
Especially Snow, as she was the one who introduced Elder Roy to the Four Divine Beast Clan. Moreover, it seemed her own recklessness had increased the difficulty of Elder Roy's future advancement by tens of thousands of times.
However, in just over a hundred thousand years, Elder Roy's strength had increased significantly.
The Seven-Star Demon who attacked used the divine power and had become terrifyingly powerful.
Unexpectedly, Elder Roy effortlessly defeated this formidable adversary with a single move.
Although Elder Roy used divine power, it indicated that Elder Roy's strength had unquestionably reached the level of the Four Divine Beast Clan's leader. Otherwise, winning so easily wouldn't have been possible.
In the hearts of Snow and the others, there was even a thought that perhaps Elder Roy's strength surpassed their own clan leader's?
With such thoughts, Snow and her companions looked at Elder Roy with a trace of awe in their eyes.
This was reverence for a strong individual.
...
"Boom!"
five element mountain finally crashed to the ground, causing the earth to convulse like a dragon rolling, creating folds in the landscape, shattering mountains, and scorching forests.
Scattered spatial rifts carved deep gorges across the land.
The rich divine power of the earth shone in Roy's palm. With the blessing of divine power, five element mountain might increased further.
"Ah!"
Finally, Kolkraf's fire-based divine power dissipated, and he was crushed into a bloody pulp by five element mountain , meeting his ultimate demise.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
Roy swept his divine consciousness, retrieving the attackers' divine essences and spatial rings before returning to the metallic beings.
"Alright, crisis averted. Let's continue forward."
"Yes, yes, as you command, Elder Roy!"
The Five-Star Demon piloting the metallic being promptly responded, as conversing with Elder Roy felt like a tremendous honor.
After all, this was a figure on the same level as the clan leaders!
"Elder Roy."
Seeing Roy return, Snow and the other three put away their displayed divine power and quickly saluted Roy.
"No need for too many formalities."
Roy waved his hand. "Snow, in the time to come, the four of you need to be more vigilant. I've heard about the actions of our clan members left in hell, so this attack we encountered is the first time but certainly won't be the last."
"Since you've chosen to follow me to develop our family in the Underworld, I naturally hope everyone arrives there safely. I don't want any losses on the way."
"So, from now on, I want you four to take turns staying here to guard, using your divine consciousness to search for hidden enemies. If you detect any attackers, immediately inform me."
"Yes, Elder Roy."
Facing Roy's orders, Snow and her companions didn't dare delay. It wasn't just because of Roy's formidable strength but also because they didn't want any casualties among the clan members before reaching the Underworld.
The stronger they were, the lower the probability of giving birth to the next generation.
Thus, among the ten thousand members of the Four Divine Beast Clan, more than two thousand were Saints. They were the cornerstone of the clan's prosperity in the Underworld.
Of course, Elder Roy and his group were not the only ones chosen by the Four Divine Beast's main god to go to the Underworld.
However, compared to those heading to the Seven Major Divine Realms or the other three supreme realms, the number of elders heading to other places was much smaller.
Obviously, the Four Divine Beast's main god had a clear perspective on their positions.
Their current limit was at the Law Dominator level, far from reaching the Rule Dominator.
Roy naturally didn't know that Snow and the others regarded him as a powerful figure comparable to the Four Divine Beast Clan's leader. Even if he did, he would probably just smile.
Despite having two techniques at the level of a Lord of Asura's Mansion and being considered a formidable expert in the outside world, he still fell short compared to the clan leaders of the Four Divine Beast Clan.
They had divine artifacts bestowed by the Four Divine Beast main god and innate talents from their divine beast bloodline. Roy's own divine artifact, the Starry Sky Clock, hadn't yet reached its limit.
As Roy had anticipated, they encountered several waves of attacks while on their way to the teleportation array.
The attackers who came to raid the Four Divine Beast Clan's group were either those who had killed members of the clan, gaining a considerable amount of divine power and seeking to plunder again, or they were expelled clan members wandering outside.
But without exception, even the weakest among those attacking the group were led by Six-Star Demons.
During these attacks, Roy once again showcased his formidable strength.
Under five element mountain, lay countless souls.
In this manner, after experiencing storms for over a hundred years, Roy and his party finally arrived at the teleportation array.
Presenting the token of the Four Divine Beast's main god, the soldiers guarding the teleportation array waived any fees for Roy and his group.
A burst of light flashed, and Roy and his companions' figures disappeared into the Underworld's dimensional teleportation array...
...
Unlike the seven continents of Hell, the Underworld had only one continent.
However, the Underworld's single continent was larger in size than all seven continents of Hell combined.
The Underworld was divided into the northern and southern regions by the Undead Sacred Mountain. The north was known as the Realm of the Dead, where the souls of all beings below the divine level resided after death in any of the planes.
All departed souls arriving at the Realm of the Dead lacked memories from their previous lives and possessed the weakest forms, such as skeletons or other undead creatures. They could only grow by absorbing the souls of their opponents through slaughter.
Once these souls ascended to the divine domain, their memories from their previous lives returned, living out their second life.
However, upon reaching the divine level, these departed souls would journey southward in the Underworld.
There, the true powerhouses of the Underworld resided.
The Undead Sacred Mountain's dimensional teleportation array suddenly emitted a dazzling light, causing the soldiers guarding the array to turn their attention towards it.
Such brilliance indicated that a significant number of people were being teleported, numbering at least over ten thousand individuals or more.
