"My Lord, it's a Golden Suanni from the far western jungle, and it's an especially powerful one at that! I… I think it might be even more powerful than Arch Demons—A Demon Lord! It must be a Demon Lord-level Golden Suanni!" a warrior from the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe alerted.

"I can see that," Chief Silvertooth of the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe calmly replied, but he was just as shocked as anyone else deep inside his heart. Even so, he had to maintain the composure of a leader on the surface.

"A Golden Suanni with the strength of a Demon Lord is called a Divine Beast. I've only heard the stories, but to think a Divine Beast actually existed all this time. Furthermore, it came all this way to the Central Region… It must have something to do with the Golden Suanni Tribe."

"They've hidden their cards too deeply; to think they actually managed to move a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni…"

Chief Silvertooth shook his head with a sigh and said, "This battle for hegemony was meaningless. There was only one sole candidate for hegemony from the start."

"Does that mean we have no choice but to listen to the Golden Suanni Tribe in the future?" the warriors felt some unwillingness in their hearts.

They found it hard to serve another tribe that hadn't been well-known previously.

Furthermore, the Golden Suanni Tribe was borrowing the strength of others. It wasn't like they, themselves, were strong.

If not for the Golden Suanni Clan behind them, the Golden Suanni Tribe would hardly qualify as their Mighty Whitewolf Tribe's opponent.

"Otherwise, what? Do you think our Mighty Whitewolf Tribe or any tribe stand the slightest chance against a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni?" Chief Silvertooth glanced at the unwilling warriors.

"I've never heard or even seen a Golden Suanni with golden flames like this one. It must be a unique ability that only purer bloodlines could awaken. That means this Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni is noble even among the Golden Suannis in the clan."

"There isn't a single person in the Infertile Plains that can stand up against such a powerful beast. Not even the Battle God from the Battle God Palace was this powerful during his prime, not to mention don't hear from the Battle God anymore."

"Given these circumstances, who else can contest the Golden Suanni Tribe for hegemony?" Chief Silvertooth asked.

However, even then, Chief Silvertooth was not finished.

"Furthermore, if the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni had not come to our aid, this place would have most likely been our grave. As such, we, the people of the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe, owe our lives to the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni."

"You speak too seriously, Chief. If we couldn't defeat these creatures, we could always—"

"Always, what? Retreat and flee from the battlefield like cowards? The Mighty Whitewolf Tribe only has warriors, not cowards."

"You're right, Chief. I have misspoken," the warrior reflected on his words before focusing on the battlefield ahead, which had been completely transformed into a sea of golden flames.

The army of Whitebone Fiends on the northern side had been completely decimated by the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni.

If that had not been the case, they wouldn't even have the luxury to chat so idly.

"The strength of the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni is truly unfathomable," Chief Silvertooth sighed with envy and reverence before saying, "It might not be a bad idea following the Golden Suanni Tribe's lead."

"With the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni around, forget about the Infertile Plains; we have a chance at dominating the entire continent and ridding the demons for good!"

After Chief Silvertooth said that, the other warriors could not help but feel their blood boil with excitement and anticipation.

Nevertheless, that vision was soon shattered by dark flames entering the picture.

"What's wrong, Goldenstride? You're a bit slow over here. I've already cleaned up my side of the battle and came to help," Nightingale chortled as she flew in and laid waste to the land with her black hellfire.

The new batch of Whitebone Fiends climbing over the top of the crater were quickly turned into black charcoal. A few moments later, the charcoal crumbled into ashes and scattered in the wind.

"Since when was this a competition, Lord Nightingale?" Goldenstride replied wryly, but still, he increased his rate of extermination.

Although Nightingale made a jab at Goldenstride, Goldenstride showed Nightingale great respect even when they were both Divine Beasts.

After all, Nightingale had saved the Golden Suanni Clan, even if it was under the Lord's order.

"A competition makes things more interesting, no?" Nightingale coolly replied with a slight smile.

Nightingale casually chatted like she was taking a stroll in the park despite annihilating hundreds of Whitebone Fiends in the same moment.

"I suppose," Goldenstride replied after some thought before asking, "But if you came over, I presume you also cleaned up the western side, Lord Nightingale?"

"Err…" Nightingale was stunned by the question.

…

Meanwhile, Chief Silvertooth and the other warriors on the northern side of the crater were all shocked by the appearance of the huge flying earth dragon.

"W-what kind of situation is this? There wasn't just a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni but also a Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon?" a Mid-rank Battle King exclaimed with shock.

"Furthermore, they appear to be quite familiar with each other! There's no way the Golden Suanni Tribe could have gained the cooperation of both the Golden Suanni and the Earth Dragon. They've not that capable; I'm sure of it!"

It was already hard to accept that the Golden Suanni Tribe could mobilize a Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni from the Golden Suanni Clan.

As such, many warriors agreed with the Mid-rank Battle King's statement.

"That Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon came from the other side of the crater… But according to their words, it seems like the Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon original came from the same western direction as the Divine Beast-level Golden Suanni…" Chief Silvertooth analyzed.

After pondering for a bit, Chief Silvertooth said, "Let's head to the western side of the crater. There's nothing left for us to do here."

"Perhaps, over there, we can even find the answer as to why there are two Divine Beasts here."

"Yes, Chief!"
