Chapter 0444: Daniel’s Fate

Daniel heard screams behind him and turned around in shock. He saw the elite divine guards torn to pieces by countless sword beams, turning into a bloodstorm. His face paled in terror, his eyes widening with fear, and his legs trembled uncontrollably as if they no longer obeyed him, as if he had forgotten where he was.
As the bloodstorm fell, the Yellow Dragon pierced through it and instantly appeared in front of Daniel.
Recalling the past when he was in the Runing Family—how the Yellow Dragon had killed the Blue-Scaled Cloud Lion of the Nimeng Mountains to enter the Ancestral Dragon Pool and undergo the hundred-year trial, only to return to Tianhe Hall to submit his mission—where he had provoked and mocked the Yellow Dragon before being defeated on the spot—this scene flashed through the Yellow Dragon’s mind once again.
However, as murderous intent filled his eyes and he was about to kill Daniel in anger, he hesitated for a moment before slapping him, causing crisp sounds of bones breaking.
Daniel’s body shook violently. A loud scream escaped him as he was flung backward and crashed into the wall of the torture chamber, spewing bloody drool.
“You, you, Yellow Dragon! You can’t kill me!” Daniel pleaded, his eyes filled with terror and voice hoarse after hitting the wall.
“Can’t kill you?!” The Yellow Dragon sneered coldly. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you die now. If you die, I’ll lose interest!” With that, he pointed, and a black energy beam pierced through Daniel’s forehead.
Instantly, Daniel’s agonized screams filled the torture chamber.
This was the “Life and Death Finger” of Pangu’s Netherworld.
Daniel felt as if countless ants were biting him and frantically scratched the ground, rolling around in pain.
At that moment, Bishop’s voice came through the air.
The Yellow Dragon’s brows twitched as he brought Daniel and the rest of the Huang family into the Group of Immortals Pavilion. He turned to look in Bishop’s direction with a cold smile.
The commotion here had alerted Bishop, something the Yellow Dragon had expected. But even though Bishop had arrived, the Yellow Dragon wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
Brad stood beside the Yellow Dragon, his body glowing, also staring at Bishop’s approach.
In the blink of an eye, a mass of black mist surged violently. As it approached, the space around the torture chamber seemed to plunge into an endless abyss, as if it were about to collapse. The sound of roaring waves echoed.
After the black mist stopped in front of the Yellow Dragon and Brad, it dispersed, revealing Bishop’s figure.
“Yellow Dragon!” Bishop stared at him coldly, his voice low and menacing.
Seeing Bishop appear, Brad moved closer to the Yellow Dragon, keeping a close eye on him.
The Yellow Dragon said nothing, but his eyes flashed with cold light.

Shirp glanced around the torture chamber and saw no sign of Daniel, only drops of blood scattered across the floor in the center. A thick layer of black mist rose again, accompanied by a fierce killing intent.
“Huang Long, where is Daniel?!” Shirp demanded, emphasizing each word.
“Don’t worry, he’s not dead yet!” Huang Long replied coldly.
“Hand over Daniel, and I might spare your life and let you go!” Hearing that Daniel wasn’t dead, Shirp was surprised. He then stared at Huang Long coldly, his pressure growing stronger, causing the ground and walls around them to tremble as if an eruption were about to occur.
“Spare my life?” Huang Long laughed heartily. “Shirp, you say you’ll spare my life?” Faced with Shirp’s pressure, Huang Long remained unmoved.
Even the pressure of the Supreme God Wunda during the trials in the Land of Forgetfulness couldn’t suppress Huang Long, let alone this Shirp. Though Shirp was a warrior nearly at the level of a supreme god, his pressure was still far inferior to that of the Supreme God’s will.
Shirp’s pressure continued to rise, and he couldn’t hide his shock. Although he had seen Huang Long “defy” Wunda’s willpower during those trials, it was only now that he truly understood the strength of Huang Long’s soul.
“I’ll say it again—hand over Daniel!” As his spiritual pressure increased, Shirp’s killing intent grew even more intense.
“What? Shirp, are you scared?!” Huang Long’s voice pierced straight into Shirp’s heart, causing him to tremble inwardly.
Shirp naturally understood the implication in Huang Long’s words.
In truth, Shirp wasn’t very concerned about Daniel’s life. After all, he had so many descendants—one more or one less didn’t matter. Besides, Daniel wasn’t very talented, unlike Fei De. Shirp felt pain at Fei De’s death at Huang Long’s hands, but not for Daniel.
What Shirp truly feared was that if Daniel fell into Huang Long’s hands and was used by him to expose everything to the Underworld, he would be accused of threatening Huang Long with the lives of the Huang family, which could even affect his position as the eldest in the Runing family.
Just as Huang Long finished speaking, Shirp suddenly lunged forward, flashing across the space and attacking Huang Long.
“Huang Long, die!” In an instant, Shirp was in front of Huang Long. His palm gathered black mist into a ball and swung it at him with force.
However, as Shirp rushed at Huang Long, Brad, who had been on high alert, also lunged at him, shooting golden light.
With a loud boom, the ground shook violently as rocks from the torture chamber collapsed, falling like rain.

As Bishop retreated, he saw the Yellow Dragon he intended to kill gradually dissipating like mist—it was merely a residual image of the dragon. In another part of the sky, the Yellow Dragon stood aloft. “Let’s go,” the Yellow Dragon said coldly, looking at Bishop. Under Bishop’s astonished gaze, it turned with Brad beside it and disappeared into the mountain wall. “The ‘Union’ trait of the Earth element law!” Bishop was shocked inwardly before regaining his composure. With a roar, he rushed to the front of the mountain wall where the Yellow Dragon had disappeared and slammed his palms forward. With that strike, the surrounding mountain wall began to flow like shifting sand, with powerful Water element forces surging toward the Yellow Dragon and Brad. Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon summoned its five-directional flags; five-colored lights flashed, shielding its body. At the same time, Brad also struck back, producing a resonant sound. Centered on this peak, within hundreds of thousands of miles of the Heavenly Punishment Mountains, all the bandits felt the intense tremors and were shocked. With that single strike, the Yellow Dragon and Brad had penetrated thousands of feet through the mountain wall and reached the skies above the peak. However, the Yellow Dragon now had a rough idea of Bishop’s strength—his power was indeed astonishing. Without Brad, it was uncertain whether the Yellow Dragon could have escaped. Just as the Yellow Dragon and Brad returned to the skies above the peak, a roar sounded, followed by a figure rushing toward them at extreme speed. The Yellow Dragon and Brad quickly stepped back. The space where they had stood earlier burst open and then closed together like flowing water. Looking over, they saw it was Bishop. Seeing that the Yellow Dragon and Brad had dodged his attack, Bishop roared and transformed into a mass of mist, launching another attack with blue light flashing all over his body. Instead of retreating, Brad advanced to confront Bishop. At this moment, the Yellow Dragon wasn’t in a hurry to leave; instead, it stepped aside. Although Bishop was extremely powerful, Brad, the King of the Nimeng Mountains, was no weaker. It wouldn’t be easy for Bishop to defeat him. Moreover, this was the Heavenly Punishment Mountains, a stronghold for billions of bandits. Bishop surely wouldn’t dare stay long. Otherwise, the appearance of a senior elder from the Runing family in these mountains without reason would already arouse suspicion. If Daniel testified later, Bishop would be unable to deny it. Indeed, the fierce battle between Brad and Bishop alarmed the powerful gods of the Heavenly Punishment Mountains, who rushed over in large numbers.

Feeling that the powerful gods from the Heaven’s Punishment Mountains were approaching, Bishop was filled with anger and hatred. After exchanging a blow with Brade, he retreated swiftly, glaring at the Yellow Dragon and sneering, “Yellow Dragon, don’t think you won this time!” With that, he turned and snorted coldly, “I hope you’ll still be alive by the time of the next interdimensional war.” Then he vanished in a flash.

After Bishop disappeared, the Yellow Dragon pondered his words, frowning.

“Young master?” Brade, sensing the approach of godly-powered warriors around them, spoke up.

The Yellow Dragon snapped back to reality. “Let’s go!” he said, and together with Brade, they vanished.

A while later, the Yellow Dragon and Brade landed on a mountain peak miles away. With a flash of his mind, he freed Bog and the others, as well as everyone from the Huang family.

“Dragon!”
“Second brother!”
“Younger brother!”

The members of the Huang family rushed over excitedly upon seeing the Yellow Dragon, calling out to him.

Inside the Immortal Pavilion, they took in the elixirs prepared by the Yellow Dragon and received treatment from Bog and the others. On the surface, their injuries had healed by seven or eight tenths—their wounds had closed without leaving scars.

“Father, Mother!” The Yellow Dragon stepped forward, feeling guilty upon seeing them.

“Second brother!” Huang Yi rushed to him, hugged him, and began to cry.

“Girl, stop crying,” the Yellow Dragon patted her, then said, “Second brother knows you’ve suffered a lot. It’s my fault; I’ve brought trouble upon you all.” His guilt deepened at these words.

He then asked about what had happened to the Huang family. It turned out that after the Yellow Dragon entered the Netherworld, over the past 1,800 years, Huang Xiong, Zhao Rong, Huang Yi, and the others had all reached the divine realm. Not seeing the Yellow Dragon return, they decided to enter the Netherworld to search for him. Unbeknownst to them, Xi De learned of their plans and “invited” them to the Lansi Tribe.

The Huang family recounted everything that had happened. When they spoke of falling into Bishop’s hands, they clenched their teeth in rage, wishing they could tear Daniel to pieces.

In the underground torture chambers of the Heaven’s Punishment Mountains, Daniel would torment them with bone worms from time to time.

“Daniel!” A murderous intent flashed in the Yellow Dragon’s eyes as he set Daniel free.

“H-Yellow Dragon!” After being freed, Daniel’s chest heaved as he stared at the Yellow Dragon in terror, still gasping for breath, his body covered in claw marks and blood.

Under the Power of Life and Death, to Daniel, the Yellow Dragon was nothing but a hellish demon!

“H-Yellow Dragon, p-please, let me go! Let me go!” Daniel pleaded weakly in fear.

At this moment, Daniel saw the members of the Huang family gathering around him, their eyes filled with utter hatred.
