Jian Wushuang asked, "The Xiao Clan was so powerful at its peak but only ranked third. Who are the two clans that are stronger than the Xiao Clan?"
Xiao Tiexin answered, "The Wu Clan and the Shi Clan. These two clans are stronger than the Xiao Clan in terms of overall strength. Moreover, both clans have Earth Ultimate Gods."
"What?" Jian Wushuang was truly shocked. "You're saying both clans have Earth Ultimate Gods?"
"Indeed, but they didn't stay in the Northern Darkstar Continent. Instead, they ventured out a long time ago. After all, not everyone would be like the Northern Darkstar Territorial Lord, ruling over a territory and becoming a local tyrant. Most of the experts chose to venture to a wider area to become stronger and go further," said Xiao Tiexin.
Jian Wushuang understood.
Indeed, people strive for higher places while water flows downwards.
When a cultivator reached the top of a territory, he would naturally yearn for a more vast place with a bigger stage to display his skills.
Take Jian Wushuang as an example. Although he was interested in the Territorial Lord's position, it was mainly for the Primordial Stones. However, he would definitely explore more vast places once he obtained enough Primordial Stones.
"In fact, it's not only the Wu Clan and the Shi Clan. The Xiao Clan and the Situ Clan have also produced Earth Ultimate Gods. It's because of the Earth Ultimate Gods that our clans are qualified to be called top-tier clans. Unfortunately, our Xiao Clan's Earth Ultimate God and the Situ Clan's Earth Ultimate God have passed away while exploring," said Xiao Tiexin.
Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.
He could imagine that the Territorial Lord would not dare to attack the Xiao Clan if the Xiao Clan also had an Earth Ultimate God, even if that Earth Ultimate God did not stay in the Northern Darkstar Continent but wandered outside instead. After all, they were both Earth Ultimate Gods with similar cultivation levels and would more or less have some scruples.
Unfortunately, the Territorial Lord no longer had any scruples since the Xiao Clan's Earth Ultimate God had passed away.
"Apart from these top clans, there are also many medium-sized and small clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent!" Xiao Tiexin continued.
"Almost all mid-level clans have Peak Ultimate Gods, but only one or two at most. Moreover, they don't have a strong foundation and their overall strength is much weaker compared to top-level clans. When the Xiao clan was at its peak, those mid-level clans had to bow down to us and did not dare to offend us."
"Finally, there are the small clans. They're able to occupy a place in the Northern Darkstar Continent. Although they don't have any Peak Ultimate Gods, they have quite a number of High-Level Ultimate Gods. Most importantly, these small clans have a certain amount of connections. It's fine if it's an ordinary battle, but if these small clans encounter a life-and-death crisis, they can gather a very strong force in a short period of time by using all their connections and resources."
Jian Wushuang suddenly understood.
The three levels of clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent seemed to have a huge gap in strength at first glance, but in fact, any clan that could establish a place in the Northern Darkstar Continent should not be underestimated.
"Of course, no matter how powerful and profound these clans are, the real overlord in the Northern Darkstar Territory is still the Territorial Lord." Xiao Tiexin's face turned cold. "The Territorial Lord himself is an Earth Ultimate God and I heard that he's considered one of the strongest among Earth Ultimate Gods. Since he became the Territorial Lord for so many years, a total of three people have tried to challenge him."
"Challenge?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed.
"The Territorial Lord is the Lord of a Territory. Strength is everything. Of course, you can challenge the Territorial Lord if you're confident in your own strength. However, many conditions must be met before you can challenge the Territorial Lord. After all, the Territorial Lord's status is noble and not just anyone can challenge him. You can only challenge the Territorial Lord when the conditions are met and the Territorial Lord has to be free to deal with you."
Xiao Tiexin paused for a moment, then continued, "Under normal circumstances, as long as that person meets the conditions and issues a challenge, the Territorial Lord must accept the challenge within a thousand years. However, this also means that the Territorial Lord can drag it out for a thousand years before challenging you."
"However, the Northern Darkstar Territorial Lord has never been stalling. He'll accept the challenge as soon as someone challenges him. Since he became the Territorial Lord, there have been a total of three people who met the conditions to challenge him. All three of them were genuine Earth Ultimate Gods, but in the end … all three of them were defeated. Two of them were killed by the Territorial Lord while the remaining one was seriously injured but luckily survived."
"Is he that powerful?" Jian Wushuang frowned.
He originally thought that the Territorial Lord was just an ordinary Earth Ultimate God. However, it seemed that he was not as simple as he thought.
The Territorial Lord's strength was fully proven by the fact that two of the three Earth Ultimate Gods died and one was seriously injured. The Territorial Lord was considered one of the strongest among the Earth Ultimate Gods.
"Not only is the Northern Darkstar Territorial Lord powerful, but he also controls the Official Army. Only the Territorial Lord can control the Official Army. It's the strongest and most terrifying army in the Northern Darkstar Territory." Xiao Tiexin looked solemn.
"There are a total of 10,000 soldiers in the Official Army with every 1,000 soldiers forming a team. You should know that the weakest soldiers in the Official Army are at the Peak Divine Demon Realm. The ten-person team leader is a Primary-level Ultimate God while the 100-person team leader is a High-Level Ultimate God. All the commanders in the Official Army are Peak Ultimate Gods. In other words, there are no less than ten Peak Ultimate Gods, hundreds of High-Level Ultimate Gods, and 1,000 Primary-level Ultimate Gods in the Official Army!"
"Oh my god." Jian Wushuang was also shocked.
The strongest sect in the Wusha Wilderness where he was previously from only had four Ultimate Gods while the entire Wusha Wilderness only had about a dozen Ultimate Gods.
However, the Official Army of the Northern Darkstar Territory had over a thousand Ultimate Gods!
What did that mean?
"It's because of his powerful strength and the terrifying Official Army that the Territorial Lord is able to do as he pleases in the Northern Darkstar Territory. No one dares to disobey his orders from the numerous wildernesses and countless sects in the Northern Darkstar Territory. That's why the various wildernesses' sects and clans in the Northern Darkstar Territory pay him a certain amount of Primordial Stones every thousand years."
"Even the Wu Clan and the Shi Clan have living Earth Ultimate Gods. Even so, they'll usually show some respect to the Territorial Lord and pay him a batch of resources every thousand years."
Jian Wushuang fully understood the situation in the Northern Darkstar Territory after listening to Xiao Tiexin.
