Then let them offer their loyalty!

"If we want to continue to improve our strength, we can only choose to either annex others or... fight among ourselves."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Previously, he and Zhao Ji controlled the "Northwest Region." Although it couldn't be said that they possessed an infinite "Boundless Heart Sea Region," theoretically, they would have gained many more regions, allowing their strength to continuously improve.

Now that the two regions have merged and the "Northwest Region" is fixed, their path to advancement has indeed come to an abrupt end.

In fact, if they want to win this "Trial of the Gods", one of them must make a sacrifice to ensure that the other can increase their strength more quickly.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji and ask, "So, what do we do now?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji gave him a cold look, and then said domineeringly, "Since the other side won't give us a chance to improve in peace, then let's fight our way out."

She said, "If the 'Northwest Region' isn't enough, then we'll kill a few eighth-tier monsters to refine."

"They thought this was cutting off our path forward, but they didn't realize that it was actually cutting off their own path to survival."

At this point, Zhao Ji's sharp gaze turned eastward, and she said, "Coincidentally, there's a peak eighth-tier evil god in the 'Northeast Region.' She just collapsed the 'Isolation Mountain Range,' so she should be somewhat weakened right now."

“I think this is the perfect opportunity for us to make a move against her.”

Qiu Tu was stunned when he heard Zhao Ji's words.

In the past few days, the intelligence system of the human camp has been gradually established, so he knows very well about the fact that the three peak eighth-order evil gods destroyed the "isolated mountains".

So, he recalled briefly.

The Northeast region...is that Scarlet Lord Doris?

Chapter 667 Battle Against an Eighth-Tier Peak Player! (Vote for a monthly ticket to win an iPad)

Qiu Tu actually knew something about Doris. Because Doris happened to be related to his next plan.

It's important to know that Doris is the lord of the Crimson Territory, the strongest force in the Northern Kingdom. And the Northern Kingdom happens to be the same kingdom where the Siyuan Pavilion is located.

Therefore, if Qiu Tu wants to develop towards "Siyuan Pavilion" through Shuxia, he definitely needs to find out about the situation in "Northern Kingdom" in advance. And among them, "Crimson Territory" is definitely unavoidable.

According to his intelligence, the situation in the "Northern Kingdom" is extremely complex. It could even be said to be the most complex of the "Four Great Divine Kingdoms".

Compared to the politically stable "Southern Kingdom," the "Eastern Kingdom," and the "Western Kingdom," where the God-King's power is absolute, the "Northern Kingdom" is a place where "two powerful forces coexist."

Strictly speaking, the entire "Northern Kingdom" is jointly ruled by the "Northern God King" and the "Crimson Territory".

The reason for this situation is that among the four great god-kings, the weakest is the "Northern God-King".

It is said that the other three God-Kings all had their hands stained with blood during the "Cataclysm of the Gods" and suppressed countless gods before finally attaining the position of "God-King".

But the "Northern God King" was different. He was not a strong one among the gods back then, and the only reason he became the last God King was because he was too weak. The other gods did not consider him a match, and he was also good at "surviving," so he was lucky enough to survive to the end.

However, precisely because of his soft personality and relatively weak strength, his control over the "Northern Kingdom" was not very strong.

In contrast to him, Doris is a veteran, peak-level eighth-tier evil god, and... her background is quite extraordinary.

Although she was not a "reincarnation of a god," her father was a god even stronger than the "Northern God King" of that time.

Although her father perished in the "Cataclysmic Disaster," he left behind a rich legacy, such as the powerful "Crimson Citadel" and the formidable "Pseudo-Celestial Techniques."

Because of the confidence left by her father, Doris has always looked down on the "Northern God King".

In addition, it is said that Doris's father's death was related to the "Northern God King", so Doris has repeatedly and publicly opposed and defied the "Northern God King".

Although the Northern God King has a gentle personality, he also has his own temper. After realizing that he could not subdue Doris, he chose to support the "Siyuan Pavilion" and cultivate the Tree Ancestor to counterbalance Doris.

It can be said that the complicated relationship between the group made Qiu Tu's eyes light up when he learned about it: this was perfect for him to use!

With his expertise in chaotic battles, how could he not thrive in the Northern Kingdom?

As it turned out, who could have imagined... that just as Qiu Tu had this idea, Zhao Ji had already set Doris as her target and was preparing to kill her.

This was indeed something Qiu Tu hadn't expected.

At this moment, Qiu Tu may have been lost in thought for a while, and Zhao Ji also keenly noticed that Qiu Tu was distracted.

She gave Qiu Tu a cold look, then asked, "Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu quickly shook his head.

He said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about Doris's background."

"Doris's background?" Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu expressionlessly, as if waiting for his explanation.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but share some information about Doris.

While recounting Doris's information, Qiu Tu's gaze remained silently fixed on Zhao Ji's face, observing her emotions.

To be honest, not only are the major powers curious about Zhao Ji's past life identity, but Qiu Tu is also very curious.

Therefore, Qiu Tu would tell Zhao Ji all the information that could be related to the gods, and observe Zhao Ji's expression in order to narrow down the possibilities of Zhao Ji's past life identity.

Previously, Qiu Tu had subtly mentioned some things about Zhu Wu's past life to Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji clearly didn't react at all.

This shows that she and Zhuwu were indeed not gods of the same era.

But this time was different. After hearing that Doris's father was a god who fell in the "Cataclysm of the Gods" and that he was also related to the "Northern God King".

A thoughtful look flashed across Zhao Ji's eyes, as if she were recalling something.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but wonder: Could it be... that Zhao Ji knows the Northern God King and Doris's father?

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Zhao Ji slowly spoke, "Since she is a descendant of a 'Celestial God,' let's spare her life for now and find another target."

As she spoke, she looked south and said, "There's also a peak eighth-tier Great Evil God in the 'Southwest Region.' He's currently exhausted after destroying the 'Isolation Mountain Range.' I can go and kill him."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and then he pondered for a moment.

After a moment, he replied, "Sister Zhaoji, that peak eighth-tier Great Evil God in the 'Southwest Region' is Tianqi."

“I’ve met him a few times. Although he’s a bit flamboyant, he’s actually very shrewd.”

"For something as significant as demolishing the 'Isolation Mountain Range,' he likely had prepared for it well in advance."

"Furthermore... the 'Western Kingdom' is far too close to us. Killing the 'God' is fine, but after killing Apocalypse, his organization, the 'Hidden Mist Society,' is very likely to retaliate."

"We're not afraid, but I do have a family and a business in the Northwest region."

"We border the 'Western Kingdom' directly, so if the 'Hidden Mist Society' keeps sending assassins to the 'Northwest Region,' it will be incredibly troublesome, even if it doesn't cause much of an impact."

At this point, Qiu Tu changed the subject, implying, "So... to avoid trouble, perhaps we should... go further away."

As he spoke, he pointed to the east...

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji frowned slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes...

.......

Meanwhile, in the southeastern region, at a place isolated by mountains.

The once towering "isolated mountain range" has been reduced to a pile of rubble, with broken rock fragments jutting out into the earth like the jagged fangs of a giant beast. The fallen trees, buried beneath the rubble, resemble dead soldiers.

The intense cataclysmic power surged through the rubble and broken trees, spreading in all directions.

The two areas are merging at a rapid pace.

And in that chaotic jungle, the giant that the Kabane had transformed into was sitting cross-legged, carrying the twelve bronze chains on his back, recovering.

Even as a peak eighth-order Great Evil God, the destruction of the "Isolation Mountain Range" still took a huge toll on him.

The twelve bronze chains had already dug into his back, tearing his skin and causing golden blood to slowly seep out and drip onto the ground, where it immediately vaporized into pure cataclysmic power.

Sitting in front of the broken "Isolation Mountain Range", the entire world seemed to tremble with every breath of the Kabane, as he inhaled and exhaled massive amounts of cataclysmic power!

Visibly, his aura became more and more stable, and his already minor injuries began to heal rapidly.

According to his estimate, he should be back to his peak condition in another half day, without any flaws.

Of course, to avoid being attacked by enemies while he was weak, he had made various arrangements well in advance.

The three eighth-tier deities he brought with him have been guarding him, while three more eighth-tier deities are waiting on the other side of the "isolated mountain range." They will arrive once the "catastrophic power" between the two regions has subsided slightly.

Of course... he actually felt that he was being far too cautious.

After all, he was the second-ranked Great Evil God of the Eighth Order in the "Core Area".

Apart from the brilliance of the "Southern Kingdom", no one can rival him.

Even though he is somewhat exhausted from knocking down the "Isolation Mountain Range", his strength is still comparable to other peak eighth-order evil gods.

Therefore, even though it is somewhat weaker than at its peak, the Kabane still sits firmly beside the "Isolation Mountain Range," frantically absorbing the "Cataclysmic Power" pouring in and rapidly recovering.

Meanwhile, as the Kabane rapidly recovered, a young man's voice drifted from afar, "Compared to the other three regions, the concentration of cataclysmic power in the 'Southeast Region' seems much lower. And the impact is also much less."

"Judging from the way it looks, it's as if something has cut off the power of the cataclysm."

Upon hearing the young man's words, Kabane's brows furrowed slightly.

He sensed a powerful aura.

The aura was very strong. Even though the amount of aura was only at the early stage of the eighth rank, it gave people a feeling that it was so powerful that it was irresistible.

The feeling was like that of a god-king who had lived for countless years, sitting there waiting for challengers.

This gave him an ominous feeling.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes as big as the moon, gazing into the distance.

Then he saw Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji flying rapidly toward him.

He looked intently at Zhao Ji, assessing the strength of the two.

To be honest, although he knew that Zhao Ji was very strong, but... how strong could a god at the early stage of the eighth rank be?

Could someone possibly be stronger than me, the second-ranked peak Great Evil God?

Moreover, he is even stronger than himself, who has three eighth-level deities as guards.

However, being able to become a confidant of the "Eastern God King" and stand firm in the complex "core area" for so long, the Kabane are certainly not arrogant and self-willed.

Even though he believed he was stronger than Zhao Ji, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. So when he saw Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu coming together, he immediately stood up, sent a message to his three eighth-level companions, and then strode towards the "Isolated Mountains"!

As he walked, his figure gradually shrank, and in just a few steps he regained his original height of 1.9 meters and his obese appearance.

The 12 chains transformed into 12 tattoos, seeping into his skin.

Facing the chaotic "Cataclysmic Power," and flying over the fractured "Isolation Mountains," the four Kabane encountered reinforcements from the "Pantheon."

As the most powerful force in the "Eastern Kingdom," the "Palace of Gods" is also a gathering place for many experts. Among the ten eighth-tier gods, there are two late-stage eighth-tier gods, and seven early-stage and mid-stage eighth-tier gods.

Accompanying the Kabane to the "Trial of the Gods" this time were a mid-stage eighth-rank and two early-stage eighth-rank.

The reinforcements sent to aid the "Kabane" this time consisted of one late-stage Rank 8, one mid-stage Rank 8, and one early-stage Rank 8.

It can be said that when the seven people joined forces, the power of the "Pantheon" had reached almost 7%.

The question from before lingered in Kabane's mind once again.

Am I really no match for Zehime?

Even if I am no match for Zhao Ji... then what about the six eighth-tier deities?

Thinking this, Kabane's beady eyes swept over the evil gods present.

The evil god he had just met was relatively normal since he knew nothing, but the three evil gods who had followed him all the way had rather strange expressions.

That makes perfect sense. From the perspective of those three evil gods, it's as if the Kabane ran away in fear before the enemy even arrived.

This is really demoralizing.

Having seen through the thoughts of his subordinates, Kaba couldn't help but feel that he was being far too cautious.

Are two insignificant early-stage eighth-order deities really worth being so careful about?

At the same time, just as the Kabane was thinking this, two figures suddenly rushed out from the "edge area," none other than Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu, who had been chasing after them all the way.

Seeing this, Kaba finally made a decision!

You want war? Then let's fight!

As the second-ranked peak eighth-order Great Evil God, I fear no challenge from anyone!

Thinking this, Kabane glanced at his men and said with a grim expression, "It seems some people really don't know their own limitations."

“They thought that if I was weak, I would be a threat to them.”
