Chapter 0500: Merging the Chaos Divine Dragon’s Five Claws

Hogan heard a sound of tearing through the air behind him. Instinctively, he turned to look and saw a grayish airflow behind him, along with space that kept collapsing beneath it.
Hogan’s eyes widened, filled with utter terror.
“This… this isn’t a primary divine artifact!”
But then, the gray airflow engulfed him. He felt a violent shock throughout his body and immediately lost consciousness. Before losing awareness, the last thought in his mind was, “Supreme Divine Artifact!”
Hogan, along with the space above the Red Sea, vanished into nothingness.
After Hogan disappeared, the gray airflow continued to spread. The gods around were horrified, screaming as they fled.
It was only after thousands of miles that the gray airflow stopped disappearing!
After a long time, the fleeing gods finally stopped, staring in terror at the spot where the gray airflow had ceased.
“It’s finally stopped!” All the godly warriors, including Ama and the middle-aged man with purple hair, breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken.
Yet as they felt relieved, they recalled Hogan turning thousands of miles of space into nothingness earlier, and their hearts trembled again. They then looked at the Yellow Dragon with fear.
By then, the Yellow Dragon had already retracted the Chaos Bell into its body, swallowed a pill, and activated the Netherworld Divine Tree to fully absorb spatial energy to replenish its depleted immortal power.
After a while, the Yellow Dragon’s complexion improved slightly.
At that moment, the long spear—a primary divine artifact for soul attacks—slowly fell from the sky. But compared to its once brilliant appearance, it now appeared dull under the sunlight, with cracks appearing in many parts of its shaft!
The gods could clearly see the condition of this primary divine artifact, and their hearts trembled once more.
This was a primary divine artifact!
A primary divine artifact, reduced to such a state?!
They had never heard of a peerless warrior being able to damage a primary divine artifact to this extent. Though they hadn’t heard of it, that didn’t mean the gods didn’t understand what it meant!
“Supreme Divine Artifact!”
Someone among the gods cried out first, stunned.
When this godly warrior spoke out, the gods trembled.
Supreme Divine Artifact!
That ancient bell was a Supreme Divine Artifact! Only a Supreme Divine Artifact could eliminate Hogan, a peerless warrior nearly at perfection, with a single strike. Only a Supreme Divine Artifact could reduce a primary divine artifact to this state!

The gods watched as the fallen primary divine spear descended; none dared move, and no one felt greedy enough to step forward and claim it. With a swift motion of his right hand, the Yellow Dragon seized the spear and took it into his possession. This was the first primary divine artifact the Yellow Dragon acquired. As for primary divine artifacts, the Yellow Dragon naturally had no interest in them. However, if this damaged artifact were reforged and repaired, its power would be even greater than before. Of course, the members of the Huang family and people like Bogu could not fully unleash its potential, so the Yellow Dragon intended to let Bradd use it—this would significantly boost Bradd’s overall offensive power. With that thought, the Yellow Dragon sent a mental command to store the spear inside the Five Hells Divine Cauldron. Looking up, he saw Amo and the others in the distance with fearful expressions, and he secretly shook his head with a smile. Unless necessary, he did not want to use the Chaos Bell in front of everyone. But without it, even with the powers of the Pangu Immortal Family, he could not defeat Hogan. Moreover, since there was no supreme god in this Five Elements realm, the Yellow Dragon didn’t have to worry too much. Seeing the Yellow Dragon looking their way, Amo and the three others grew nervous. They exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, then flew over and gathered before the Yellow Dragon, bowing respectfully, “We pay our respects to the Sect Leader!” Hogan was dead, so now the Yellow Dragon was the new Sect Leader of the Red Flame Divine Sect. The gods of Red Flame Divine Mountain, upon seeing Amo and the others bowing, realized what was happening and also flew over, bowing together in reverence, “We pay our respects to the Sect Leader!” Their voices echoed through the sky. The trillions of god-tier warriors of Red Flame Divine Mountain stood there in awe. In the distance, the god-tier warriors from other continents stood frozen, not daring to move. “Get up,” came the Yellow Dragon’s calm yet authoritative voice. “Yes, Sect Leader!” The gods of the Red Flame Divine Sect replied respectfully, stood up, and stood aside, not daring to speak. “Since the competition is over, let’s return to Red Flame Divine Mountain,” the Yellow Dragon said indifferently. With that, he took off and headed back to Red Flame Divine Mountain. After the gods there replied respectfully, they quickly followed. Before leaving, the Yellow Dragon glanced at the middle-aged man with purple hair in the distance. In fact, the Yellow Dragon had already noticed this man. During the competition in the main city of Red Flame, he had realized that this man’s strength was comparable to Bradd’s. The Yellow Dragon guessed he must be an elder from another divine sect. “Other divine sects!” A glint appeared in the Yellow Dragon’s eyes.

To merge the power of the Five Elements Divine Mountains formed by the Five Claws of the Chaos Divine Dragon, the Yellow Dragon was bound to clash with other divine sects sooner or later. However, for now, its top priority was to merge with the Red Flame Divine Mountain and boost its strength first. After this battle, the fact that it possessed a “Supreme Divine Artifact” would spread throughout the Five Elements Continent. Only by strengthening itself could the Yellow Dragon be better prepared to handle any potential future challenges.

It wasn’t long before the Yellow Dragon, along with Amo and the others, returned to the Red Flame Divine Mountain in a grand procession. Once there, it ordered the gods to disperse and then went with Amo and the three others to the Red Flame Temple at the mountain’s peak.

After a while, the five of them arrived in front of the Red Flame Temple. The temple’s exterior design was similar to that of the Shangyi Hall in the Divine Realm, except for the different divine stone materials used. But at this moment, the Yellow Dragon had no interest in admiring the temple. It entered directly with Amo and the three others and asked them about the core of the Red Flame Divine Mountain.

Although Amo and the three others were puzzled by the Yellow Dragon’s eagerness to know about the core, since it was now the leader of the Red Flame Divine Sect, they dared not hesitate. Whatever the Yellow Dragon asked, they would answer.

“Alright, you may leave now,” the Yellow Dragon said after gathering enough information. When Amo and the three others were about to leave, it added, “No matter what happens inside the core of the Red Flame Divine Mountain in the next few days, do not approach without my orders. Understood?”

Amo and the three exchanged glances, replied respectfully, and then left.

As they left, they pondered the meaning behind the Yellow Dragon’s words—what could possibly happen inside the core of the mountain? Could something serious be occurring there?

After they left, the Yellow Dragon proceeded to the core of the Red Flame Divine Mountain. From what Amo and the three others had told it, it became even more convinced that the Five Elements Divine Mountains were indeed formed by the Five Claws of the Chaos Divine Dragon.

Inside the Red Flame Divine Mountain, the temperature was much higher compared to the outside. The entire interior was a deep red, with even layers of dark red flames burning along the mountain walls.

After descending a thousand feet, the flames turned from dark red to black red. If the Yellow Dragon hadn’t reached the rank of Taiyi Golden Immortal, it likely wouldn’t have been able to reach even this depth inside the mountain.

Eventually, after descending five thousand feet, the Yellow Dragon reached the core of the Red Flame Divine Mountain.

Upon reaching the core of the Red Flame Divine Mountain, what appeared before Huang Long was a flame covering an area of a thousand square meters. The flame floated in mid-air within the core’s space. From the outside, it resembled a huge flint, fixed in place as if it were dead fire, showing no signs of activity. Yet, Huang Long could sense the immense energy and purest dragon power within it. Delighted, he realized his guess was correct—the Red Flame Divine Mountain was formed from one of the Five Claws of the Chaos Divine Dragon, and this flame was the energy condensed from those claws. Immediately, Huang Long sat down in seiza position and began practicing the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art” to absorb the tremendous power and pure dragon energy contained within the flame. As he practiced the art, water and fire dragons coiled around it, and the flame began to pulse, as if awakened by Huang Long. Eventually, it transformed into streams of crimson gas that entered Huang Long’s body. The core space of the Red Flame Divine Mountain gradually filled with crimson gas, hiding Huang Long’s body within it. At the same time, golden clouds emitted a golden glow. “What’s going on?!” Just as the flame turned into crimson gas and entered Huang Long’s body, the entire mountain began to tremble, shocking all the deities within it. “Is something wrong with the core of the mountain?!” After sensing the changes, the four members of the Amo group used their spiritual senses to discover the cause of the tremors. “What should we do now?!” Puli Fei frowned. Amo pondered for a moment and said, “The sect leader ordered that we must not approach the core without his command. So, let’s just observe what happens.” Hua De and the others could only nod in silence. However, to the four members of the Amo group’s distress, this situation persisted for a day without stopping, and the tremors grew more intense over time. Several times, they almost couldn’t resist entering the core to investigate, but remembering Huang Long’s earlier orders, they ultimately obeyed him. “Could it be related to the flame?!” the four guessed. They knew there was a flame in the core containing immense power, and they also remembered that Hogan had tried countless times to absorb that power but failed. Five days later, the deities of the Red Flame Divine Mountain were overjoyed to see that the constantly trembling mountain finally stopped shaking.

But just as the Red Flame Divine Mountain completely stopped shaking, suddenly, a thunderous dragon roar came from within the mountain. Then, the gods saw a golden pillar of light spinning upward into the sky. A phantom image of a five-clawed golden dragon appeared, and its powerful dragon aura spread out, enveloping the entire Red Flame Divine Mountain.
“P-Professor, could he be from the Luning family of the Netherworld?!” Wald exclaimed in shock, staring at the phantom golden dragon in the sky.
“Y-It seems so?!” Yamo hesitated.
