Chapter 0409: Tomorrow, You Must Seize This Opportunity Well

Hubert and everyone from the Terrence family in the grand hall fell silent.
Kill Huang Hai?!
Hubert had considered this idea before, but in the end, he hesitated and rejected it!
A scoundrel like Huang Hai—if killed by Augus on the combat platform, even if it was considered an “accident,” Kennedy would likely go mad. If Kennedy went mad, the consequences would be terrifying.
“Elder, what do you think?” Augus suddenly spoke, his expression hesitant.
“Augus, speak up,” Hubert said.
“Yes, Elder,” Augus replied respectfully before continuing, “Elder is worried that Kennedy will be furious after Huang Hai’s death. But if Huang Hai survives, then Kennedy won’t have anything to say.”
Hubert’s eyes lit up as he nodded. “Good, very good, Augus. Tomorrow, you must seize this opportunity well.”
If Huang Hai didn’t die but was severely injured and rendered useless, then it wouldn’t be the Terrence family’s fault—injuries were inevitable in combat.
Augus replied respectfully.
“However, Jared, if Huang Hai isn’t the same person as Wind and Thunder Sea, could there really be two Divine Avatars of the Twelve Gods?!” Hubert’s expression was complex.
One Divine Avatar of the Twelve Gods was enough to drive one mad, so what about two?!
Hubert and the others remained silent, and the grand hall was utterly quiet.
Meanwhile, in the central hall of the Runing family’s mountain peak, Kennedy and the others also summoned Yellow Dragon.
“Huang Hai, it was really wrong of you to hide the fact that you were a Divine Avatar of the Twelve Gods from us,” Kennedy said to Yellow Dragon, his tone reproachful yet devoid of actual anger.
Kennedy wore a smile, clearly in a very good mood. After all, anyone would feel the same way upon learning that their family member possessed such a power.
Kennedy tried hard to suppress his joy, keeping his expression as calm as possible.
In the grand hall, Donald could hardly hide his excitement. But compared to Kennedy and the others, Bishop’s expression was far less pleasant; he hadn’t said a word throughout.
“Huang Hai, tomorrow is your battle against Augus. You must be especially careful of his third eye,” Kennedy reminded Yellow Dragon after a while.
“Third eye?” Yellow Dragon asked in surprise.

Kennedy nodded. “The Terrence family has transformed into Sky Scorpions. Their innate skills are not as strong as those of our Runing family. But this Augus is just like Sid from the Gibran family who was defeated by you before—he’s had some fortunate encounter, transformed, and his strength is likely no less than yours!”
Huang Long nodded calmly, saying nothing.
Seeing Huang Long not taking it seriously, Donald couldn’t help but remind him, “Huang Hai, the clan leader is right. You need to be careful. This Augus is very strong. Compared to that Saxon, I think Augus is even more dangerous. Moreover, he’s probably hiding his true strength.”
Upon Donald’s repeated reminder, Huang Long nodded, taking it to heart.
Of course, Kennedy and Donald were worried because they didn’t know Huang Long’s true strength. If they had, they wouldn’t have needed to remind him so carefully.
Huang Long left the central hall and returned to his own palace. Shortly after returning, Chester and Fat Francis came over.
“Ugh, ugh!” As soon as Fat Francis arrived, he suddenly started acting like he was crying.
Huang Long was stunned, looking at him in confusion before turning to Chester with a questioning gaze.
Chester smiled helplessly. “I guess this fat guy is too excited and wants to cry.”
Too excited? Huang Long smiled knowingly.
“Ugh, Brother Huang Hai, the proudest thing for me right now is getting to know you,” Fat Francis suddenly stopped crying and said excitedly, staring at Huang Long with sparkling eyes. “Brother Huang Hai, I admire you so much!” Then, in a speechless outburst, he screamed, “The Twelve Divine Avatars! Brother Huang Hai, you didn’t know, but that kid, Fei De, was so scared backstage he almost lost his mind!”
Chester laughed. “He’s just stupid. But I don’t think you were any smarter at that time.”
Fat Francis grinned. “Hehe, Chester, don’t talk about me. You’re the same.” At that moment, when Huang Long revealed his Twelve Divine Avatars, one could imagine the expressions on the faces of the descendants of the six major families backstage.
“Tomorrow is the battle between Brother Huang Hai and that Augus. Brother Huang Hai, you must teach this kid a good lesson for me!” Fat Francis said with hatred, still not having forgotten about it.
Chester laughed. “Why do you keep bringing this up? Were you summoned by your grandfather again today?”
Hearing this, Fat Francis forced a wry smile. “Exactly.”

After a while, Chester and Fat Francis left. After they left, Huang Long wasn’t thinking about the battle with Augus the next day. Although everyone believed Augus was very strong, and Kennedy and Donald kept reminding him, Huang Long didn’t take the upcoming battle seriously.
What he was thinking about was something else—the Colorful Coiling Dragon!
On the first day of the competition, before leaving, that primordial beast, the Colorful Coiling Dragon, had said, “See you in the Land of Forgetfulness.”
“The Land of Forgetfulness?” Huang Long murmured, frowning.
He never understood the true meaning of those words. Yet, he had a premonition that things wouldn’t be peaceful before the Land of Forgetfulness opened.
The next day, he would fight Augus. After that first battle, rankings would be determined, and the Land of Forgetfulness would soon open. According to the calculations of the six major families, it would be the month after—ten days left.
“Ten days,” Huang Long thought to himself.
The night sky was deep, and under the moonlight, there was a faint layer of dark mist.
As night gradually faded, the next day arrived. The surrounding mountains were filled with chatter from the gods, who had been waiting eagerly. Compared to the previous day, their enthusiasm was even higher today.
Yesterday was the battle for the top five, but today was the battle for first place!
Who would become number one?!
Huang Hai? Augus?!
“That first place must belong to Lord Huang Hai. No matter how strong Augus is, he can’t surpass Lord Huang Hai’s twelve divine avatars!”
“I agree. Besides, Lord Huang Hai is also a soul master and a mage!”
Compared to yesterday, Huang Long received a lot of support today; many believed he would win first place. Of course, there were also those who supported Augus, such as the descendants of the Terrence family and the godly warriors affiliated with them.
On the competition platform, Huang Long and Augus stood still, listening to the chatter of the gods around them. Both remained calm, staring at each other indifferently, with neither speaking.
Augus looked at Huang Long and, hearing the gods’ discussions, sneered inwardly, “First place?”
On the platform for the Land of Forgetfulness, the leaders of the six major families sat there silently, creating an unusual atmosphere.
After a while, Bishop received a nod from Kennedy and stood up, stepping forward. But unlike before, this time he didn’t immediately declare, “The competition begins.” Instead, he gave a brief summary of the previous competitions among the six major families in the Land of Forgetfulness. Then, he encouraged Huang Long and Augus before finally saying, “The competition begins!”
The competition began!

As Bishop’s voice faded, everyone—both the descendants of the six great families watching below and the gods in the surrounding mountains—held their breath in tension, staring at the fighting platform. The duel began, but neither Huang Long nor Augus moved, just as they had during the battle between Huang Long and the Saxons. Augus spoke up, “You’re very confident?” Huang Long replied indifferently, “Aren’t you?” Augus smiled broadly, “Actually, we’re the same kind of people.” Hearing this, Huang Long shook his head, “No, we’re not. Not before, not now, and not ever.” Augus’s smile vanished, his expression turning cold. “Anyway, the outcome is already determined.” With that, he flashed forward, his divine weapon glowing, and a fierce sword beam swept through the air. Huang Long dodged swiftly, and the sword beam struck the fighting platform. The restrictions on the platform flashed and crackled before disappearing, leaving behind a terrifying sword scar stretching from where Huang Long had been to the edge of the platform—tens of thousands of feet long. Divine light power? No. After Augus’s strike, Huang Long sensed a force similar to divine light power within his opponent’s sword glow, though not exactly the same. Yet, with just one strike, Augus had broken the restrictions on the platform, proving his immense strength. After dodging his own attack, Huang Long continued to evade Augus’s lightning-fast assaults, who quickly reappeared in front of him and swung his sword again. Boom! A thunderous clash echoed as both retreated. Huang Long held his Immortal-Slaying Sword, his robes fluttering as if moved by an unseen wind, while Augus stared at the sword. He had witnessed how Huang Long’s sword had effortlessly sliced through their family’s top-tier defensive divine weapon, Yahseb, so he kept a close eye on it. “Ruling heaven and earth!” After retreating from their clash, Augus immediately took to the air, his divine sword flashing as countless sword beams spread from above, interweaving before converging on Huang Long. Space trembled. “Huang Hai, better summon your twelve divine clones—otherwise, you might be unwilling to accept defeat!” After his strike, Augus held his divine sword and sneered coldly. Huang Long dodged his attack and, after hearing Augus’s words, remained silent. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he activated his Immortal-Slaying Sword. The sword rose high into the sky, and a resonant sword chant echoed between heaven and earth. Then, before the astonished eyes of the gods, thousands of sword energies emerged from the sword. “The Dayan Extinction Sword Formation!”

The Sword of Slaying Immortals trembled with a sound,hum!! Thousands of sword beams emitted a terrifyingly cold light, forming an array that instantly descended upon the Aegis.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
As the sword array struck, the competition platform was filled with the loud noises caused by the sword energy, and circular holes kept appearing on its surface due to the intense force, leaving it severely damaged.
The descendants of the six major families and the surrounding gods were all shocked by the terrifying power of the Great Extinction Sword Array.
After a long time, the sword array finally stopped.
The Sword of Slaying Immortals returned to Huang Long’s hands. At this moment, although the Aegis in the air managed to evade the sword array thanks to its strength and divine artifacts, it was still in a dire situation.
The Aegis glared at Huang Long with a cold expression.
