Faced with Zhang Yue's counter-offensive provocation, the leaders of the Four Great Clans were stunned.
"What did he just say? What kind of nonsense is this?"
Next to the God King Arafat stood Molian, a captain of the guards who had assigned Zhang Yue several quests in the past and had a fairly good relationship with him. He tried to reason with Zhang Yue, saying, "Young man, I advise you to put down your weapon and… uh, ascend to Buddhahood on the spot."
"Our leader's strength is far beyond what you can imagine. You can't possibly defeat Leader Arafat."
Zhang Yue looked at Molian's familiar face. Over the course of his quests, Molian had saved him a lot of time and had been quite helpful.
So, Zhang Yue replied, "Then I advise you to be kind and step aside. Don't worry about your leader anymore. Do it before I take action."
"You've got a big mouth!" God King Arafat sneered, looking down at Zhang Yue with a lofty, disdainful gaze. "Don't even mention the Four Great Clans attacking you together. I alone could easily kill you. Where do you get the courage to challenge me?"
Ghost King Mongya followed up with a threat. "If you don't hand over the Imperial Seal today, you won't leave here alive."
Zhang Yue remained calm, carrying his staff casually, and said nonchalantly, "I told you, if you want the Imperial Seal, it's up to you to make a move."
These words instantly riled up the four leaders, who each assumed a battle stance.
Zhang Yue remained unfazed.
Since all four were level 90 god-level bosses with the same power level, Zhang Yue only needed to scout the stats of one of them.
He cast his SS-level scouting ability on the God King Arafat standing before him.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
There was no denying it—level 90 god-level bosses were truly formidable.
These stats far surpassed those of the highest-tier 14-star ordinary bosses Zhang Yue had encountered so far.
Of course, stats were fixed numbers. As long as you had better stats, you could crush them.
What mattered most was their sentience and independent combat awareness.
Additionally, the four clan leaders each had their own unique traits.
God King Arafat: Clad in a white robe and wielding a scepter, he looked like a holy angel. Based on his skills, he specialized in recovery and healing.
Demon King Enli: Dressed in heavy armor, carrying a shield and a massive axe, he was clearly a frontline tank.
Ghost King Mongya: In a black combat suit, gripping a blood-red dagger, his appearance screamed assassin.
Shadow King Jie: A bowman through and through.
Seeing Zhang Yue's firm stance, the four leaders stopped wasting words on him.
"If you refuse to hand over the Imperial Seal, don't blame us for being ruthless."
"Kill him and take the Imperial Seal from his body."
With their thunderous shouts, the leaders immediately issued commands.
The next moment, the armies of the Four Great Clans surged toward Zhang Yue with overwhelming momentum, like a tidal wave seeking to engulf him.
These soldiers guarding the territories of the Four Great Clans were all level 90 characters, the peak of the Fifteenth World.
Their power level was no less than the Undying Guards of the Hell Empire.
This caused concern among the viewers in the livestream.
["Are all the Four Great Clans' NPCs level 90? And they're deploying their entire army? This scale is practically equivalent to a second-tier beast tide! Without reinforcements, can Zero handle this on his own?"]
["It's looking grim. Even watching through the screen makes me nervous. If it were me, I'd probably be stomped to death!"]
However, the reality proved their worries unnecessary.
To Zhang Yue, the armies of the Four Great Clans were nothing more than piles of walking experience points.
Gripping his lightning-imbued Transcendent Staff, Zhang Yue began his counterattack.
He activated Glory: Battle God's Physique and enchantments.
BOOM!
With an SS-level Lightning Thunderstrike, augmented by triple lightning buffs, countless bolts of lightning rained down from the sky, blanketing the battlefield.
In an instant, massive damage exceeding 6 million per strike annihilated the soldiers approaching him.
These level 90 minions, each with just over 5 million HP, couldn't withstand Zhang Yue's attacks at all.
Simultaneously, Zhang Yue summoned his Armageddon Black Dragon, turning it into a bomber. From its aerial vantage point, it rained destruction upon the ground troops.
All soldiers caught in the bombing zone suffered splash damage from Zhang Yue's Eternal: Undying Demonic Body, taking AOE damage of 2–3 million per hit, rapidly draining their HP bars.
The Phantom Predator then mopped up, easily killing the weakened soldiers.
As he defeated enemies, Zhang Yue summoned more shadow clones, each inheriting 100% of his base stats, rapidly expanding his kill radius.
Amid the continuous cries of anguish, soldiers of the Four Great Clans fell one after another.
The four leaders were dumbfounded.
They were furious.
"This guy is more troublesome than he looks!"
"I knew from the start that anyone who could complete my Hell Shadow Clan's trial wasn't ordinary."
"Our grudges can wait. Let's join forces to take him down and claim the Imperial Seal."
"Just like we did thousands of years ago under the Sovereign King's command."
With that, the four leaders armed themselves and closed in on Zhang Yue.
The armies of the Four Great Clans were left to the Armageddon Black Dragon and Phantom Predator.
Zhang Yue led his Infernal Skeleton King to confront the four leaders.
At this point, Ghost King Mongya activated his stealth ability and disappeared.
Demon King Enli, wielding his shield and axe, charged at Zhang Yue head-on.
Zhang Yue used Shadow Step to avoid Shadow King Jie's ranged attacks and Demon King Enli's charge. He then countered with spells.
Heavenly Fire Scorching Ground!
World-Ending Light!
Thunderclap!
Frozen Lands!
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—
A barrage of SS-level single-target explosive spells rained down on Demon King Enli, obliterating everything in their path.
Taking out the main damage dealer first was standard practice.
However, god-level bosses weren't that easy to defeat due to their heightened awareness.
God King Arafat and Shadow King Jie withdrew beyond Zhang Yue's attack range after launching their own skills and attacks.
In stealth mode, Ghost King Mongya couldn't be locked onto.
Zhang Yue had no choice but to focus his attacks on Demon King Enli.
As a tank, Enli's bulky frame made him unable to dodge Zhang Yue's rapid strikes in time. He raised his shield to block the barrage.
With 150% damage reduction, Enli managed to mitigate much of Zhang Yue's 510% skill damage amplification.
Moreover, his 120% penetration resistance partially countered Zhang Yue's 160% penetration effect, significantly reducing Zhang Yue's damage output.
-1.065 million!
-1.189 million!
-2.328 million!
-1.489 million…
At that moment, a chilling gust of wind swept past Zhang Yue's side…
