Chapter 0635: The Three Thousand Gods of Hongmeng

“Not bad!” Huang Long’s expression remained calm. He was well aware of Yi Dehai and Mu Li’s thoughts, but there was no need to hide anything. Even if Huang Long hadn’t said anything, the two would have confirmed it themselves.
Hearing Huang Long admit it, Yi Dehai and Mu Li showed no outward change, but they were shocked inside. Huang Long had actually managed to take down Leipeng Mountain on his own!
What did this mean?! It meant that if the two hadn’t been at Shuangyan Mountain, Huang Long could have taken it down as well!
Previously, Huang Long’s creation of the Sacred King Spiritual Treasure had caught their attention, but now they had to reassess him.
“I never expected it to really be Brother Huang Long’s doing. I thought it was just a rumor among the gods along the way!” Yi Dehai composed himself and said with emotion, “I never thought Brother Huang Long was not only the best at crafting artifacts but also so skilled in formations. I doubt even anyone in the Chaos Divine Realm could match him!”
Leipeng Mountain was protected by the Wanlei Mie Shen Formation. The fact that Huang Long could break through it showed just how skilled he was in formations!
But this wasn’t even what worried Yi Dehai the most. He had even heard that Huang Long had used a formation to trap Xibei, Leo, and Aopu, forcing the armies of the three mountains to retreat and thus saving Yinhu Mountain from danger.
With such skill in formations, it could be said to be even more terrifying than his craftsmanship!
Huang Long smiled indifferently, “It’s just passable, really.”
Yi Dehai’s lips twitched. Passable?! If Huang Long’s ability to trap three great divine kings was only passable, then their own formation skills must seem like child’s play in his eyes!
In fact, what Huang Long said was true. Although his formation skills were decent, compared to some masters like Pangu, they were merely passable.
Back during the War of Deification, the Three Xiao of the Jie Sect set up the Yellow River Formation, hiding the mysteries of heaven and earth. It could strip away the divinity of immortals, erase their souls, trap their forms, weaken their energy, destroy their true nature, and harm their physical bodies. When the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect entered it, all of them had their top three flowers removed, leaving them powerless.
If not for Yuan Shi and Laozi coming to save them, they would likely have all perished in the Yellow River Formation.
Yi Dehai and Mu Li forced a laugh.
Riviera smiled at Huang Long, “If your formation skills are just passable, then what are we?”
Huang Long smiled and didn’t continue discussing the topic. Instead, he turned to Yi Dehai and Mu Li and said, “The two divine kings mentioned earlier that they would retreat to refine the Sacred King Spiritual Treasure. I wonder how progress they’ve made?”
Yi Dehai and Mu Li forced another laugh.

How could this Sacred King Spirit Treasure be refined so easily?! Moreover, what they said before was just an excuse—the two returned to Twin Ape Mountain to handle some matters there, and before they could retreat for cultivation, they heard about the three mountains besieging Silver Fox Mountain.
Yi Dehai didn’t answer but said, “Brother Huanglong has taken control of Thunder Peng Mountain. Although he isn’t afraid of it, he still needs to be cautious of the Thunder Peng clan behind it!”
“The Thunder Peng clan?” Huanglong frowned and then looked at Livia, who hadn’t mentioned this to him.
Seeing Huanglong looking at her, Livia explained, “At the beginning of our Hongmeng World, within the chaos of Hongmeng, three thousand powerful beings were born. We call them the Three Thousand Hongmeng Gods. Over countless eras, these Three Thousand Hongmeng Gods have multiplied, giving rise to many powerful races—the Three Thousand Hongmeng Races. This Hibere is one of the Hongmeng Gods, and the Thunder Peng clan behind him is one of those Three Thousand Hongmeng Races!”
“Three Thousand Hongmeng Gods?! Hongmeng Races!” Huanglong was greatly surprised.
But Pan Gu had three thousand innate demon gods, and Hongmeng had three thousand Hongmeng Gods—was this a coincidence or a rule of the heavens?! And did that mean there were three thousand god-king strongmen?!
“Three thousand god-king strongmen!” At the thought of this number, Huanglong’s heart trembled.
Now he realized he still knew too little about this Hongmeng World—it wasn’t as weak as he had imagined.
“Actually, not all Hongmeng Gods are god-king strongmen!” Seeing Huanglong’s astonished expression, Livia understood what he was thinking and explained.
Hearing this, Huanglong felt relieved. Good thing—if all the Hongmeng Gods were god-king strongmen, he wouldn’t need to struggle at all!
At that moment, Mu Li spoke up, “Although all the Three Thousand Hongmeng Gods were born from the chaos of Hongmeng, due to their different innate conditions and achievements, their strengths vary. Some are powerful like Meng Lei and Leo, while others only possess the strength of a Supreme God, like the ancestors of some super-large families in the current Chaos God Realm. For example, Theol, the ancestor of the Knightson family that Brother Huanglong killed back then, is also a Hongmeng God.”
“Theol?!” Huanglong was shocked. He hadn’t expected Theol, the ancestor of the Knightson family he had killed, to be a Hongmeng God as well.
“That’s right. The weakest among the Hongmeng Gods only have the strength of a high-level Supreme God,” Yi Dehai said with a smile.
Huanglong pondered, “Then in the Hongmeng World, how many god-king strongmen are there?” This was what concerned him most. Although not all of the Three Thousand Hongmeng Gods were god-king strongmen, having just a few hundred would still be a huge blow.

“In the Hongmeng World, there are over twenty divine king warriors, including the fallen Brother Menglei—to be exact, twenty-seven!” said Livya.
With Menglei dead, there are now twenty-six!
Huang Long felt relieved. Twenty-six divine king warriors might not be many, but it was still acceptable!
“It seems I need to improve my strength as soon as possible!” Huang Long thought, sighing inwardly. Though he was invincible among the divine kings, he still wasn’t strong enough to face them head-on.
Although he could set up formations, they weren’t very useful in actual battles, and setting them up required time. Otherwise, before he could finish arranging them, he’d already be reduced to dust—so what’s the point?
“What about the strength of the Leipeng clan?” Huang Long wondered.
“Besides Hibere, there are two other divine kings: one is Brother Hibere’s elder brother, Fei Li, who is also the leader of the Leipeng clan, and the other is Saint Buri, the current supreme elder of the Leipeng clan,” added Yidehai.
“So, the Leipeng clan has three divine king warriors!” Huang Long frowned.
“Actually, Hibere doesn’t get along with his elder brother, which is why he left the Hongmeng World back then. So, Hibere can’t ask the Leipeng clan for help. You don’t need to worry about Fei Li and Saint Buri either!” Livya reassured him.
“The Hongmeng World?” Huang Long was stunned. Was there another Hongmeng World?
“This Hongmeng World isn’t in the Chaos Divine Plane; it’s on the edge of chaos. It’s a small world created by the collective efforts of the divine kings. Of course, it can’t compare to the Hongmeng World created by the Lord of Hongmeng. The origins of the three thousand Hongmeng races are generally in the Hongmeng World, including our Six-Winged Golden Ape clan,” said Mu Li.
Yidehai and Mu Li were originally Six-Winged Golden Apes of Chaos.
“Brother Huang Long, actually, there’s another reason we’ve come this time,” Yidehai said, looking at Huang Long.
“Oh? Please go on,” Huang Long replied, feeling puzzled.
“It’s this: we know that both Brother Huang Long and Sister Livya possess a copy of the Xuanhuang River Map. When the Xuanhuang River opens, we want to join forces with Brother Huang Long and Sister Livya!” Mu Li explained.
“Join forces?” Huang Long and Livya exchanged a glance.
Livya chose to remain silent, leaving the decision to Huang Long.
After some thought, Huang Long said, “Alright!”

Although the help from the two arrived late, it wouldn’t hurt to ally with them once the River of Xuánhuáng opened. Of course, this was merely a formality—Huanglong surely wouldn’t trust Mount Shuangyuán. Yi Dehai and Mu Li from Mount Shuangyuán likely shared the same thoughts, aiming only to use Huanglong and Livia’s names to make Leo and the others hesitate.

Next, Yi Dehai and the others exchanged warm pleasantries with Huanglong and Livia before leaving Mount Yinhu without lingering. Before departing, they expressed regret to Huanglong and Livia for arriving “a step late.”

Watching their figures gradually disappear into the horizon, Huanglong sneered, “These two old foxes!” Their intention to offer help was fake; they really came to probe the situation.

Livia retorted angrily, “What about me?”

Huanglong was momentarily stunned before smiling sheepishly. He had forgotten that Livia’s true form was a nine-tailed silver fox.

Returning to the palace from Mount Yinhu, Huanglong handed the eight Supreme Divine Essences obtained from his trip to Mount Leipeng to Warner, Nazeen, Ruden, and the others in the Moer Mountains to fuse. When Warner, Nazeen, Ruden, and the others received the Supreme Divine Essences from Huanglong, they were once again overwhelmed with emotion, almost crying and pleading with him.

Supreme Gods—they had never imagined such a day would come! Just a few years ago, they were merely ordinary peerless warriors! From peerless warriors to God Lords, and then to Supreme Gods—this dreamlike transformation filled them with deep emotion.

After watching Warner and the others slowly fuse the Supreme Divine Essences and setting up a grand array to isolate the outside world, Huanglong assigned Zerom to protect them before leaving the palace.

“It seems I need to deal with that Mori as soon as possible!” Huanglong thought to himself.

Originally, when trapping Mori and the others in the grand array, Huanglong had planned to kill them within the Great Yan Divine Thunder Array and the Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Array. But Mori was quite strong and closely guarded by Wifley and the others. Later, the Divine Kings Hibere and the others broke through the array to rescue them, leaving Huanglong without the chance to act.

“That Mori can’t possibly stay with Leo all the time!” Huanglong’s eyes flickered. Once Warner and the others successfully fused the Supreme Divine Essences, it seemed he would have to make a trip to the Lanbo family.

Meanwhile, after leaving Mount Yinhu and heading back to the Kale Continent, Leo, Opot, and the others had just returned.

“Mount Leipeng was taken over by Huanglong’s divine avatar!” Leo’s expression darkened.

Those who had rushed along the way also heard about what happened to Mount Leipeng. Though they couldn’t believe it at first, after verification, they had no choice but to accept the fact.

Surprised, Leo and Opot also began to worry about the safety of Fengjin Mountain and Tianlong Mountain. They wondered if Huanglong had visited them?! Although they received reports from the elders guarding the two mountains confirming that Huanglong had not gone there, they still couldn’t shake their concerns.
