Chapter 0683: Arrival in the Hongmeng Realm
The massive vortex and the thunderous snakes in the sky, along with the deafening thunder, were all caused by this Hongmeng beast right before him! Sensing the faintly dangerous aura emanating from it, Huang Long frowned—things seemed quite troublesome. This Hongmeng beast likely possessed strength on par with that of a Divine King.
“Hehe, so many years have passed. I never expected to encounter humans again!” As Huang Long stared at it, the Hongmeng beast spoke in a humming voice, its light gray eyes emitting two beams of blood-red light.
Without avoiding it, Huang Long waved his right hand, creating a gust of wind that dispersed the beast’s attack.
“A Supreme Divine Warrior? Not bad strength!” The Hongmeng beast was not alarmed but rather pleased. A Supreme Divine Warrior—truly worth the trip from the deep sea! If it could destroy this being’s divine body, its own strength would increase further.
Huang Long remained silent, staring coldly at it.
Due to innate limitations, the Hongmeng beast had great strength and defense, but it also had a weakness: speed. Its speed was slower than that of peers at the same level. Yet, Huang Long had no intention of using speed to escape. It would be a shame to leave now after encountering such a Hongmeng beast with near-Divine King strength!
With a thought, Huang Long summoned the Five Directions Spiritual Flags. Above the auspicious clouds above his head, an ancient bronze bell with an ancient aura appeared—it was the supreme innate treasure of Pangu, the Chaos Bell.
Summoning the Chaos Bell, Huang Long channeled all his spiritual energy into it, pouring his magical power into it fiercely. With a hum, the Chaos Bell rose high into the sky, emitting intense light that illuminated the world. Creatures and beasts on it shone as if brought to life.
With the appearance of the Chaos Bell, the air within millions of miles of the Hongmeng realm stagnated.
Huang Long didn’t want to waste too much time on this beast, so he used the Chaos Bell from the start to end the battle quickly!
The appearance of the Chaos Bell made the Hongmeng beast sense a dangerous aura.
“This… could this be a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?!” Fear appeared in the beast’s eyes.
Only a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure could make it feel such danger, for even ordinary Hongmeng spiritual treasures couldn’t break through its defenses. It never expected this young man with black hair to possess such a divine artifact!
Yet, amid its fear, its eyes also showed greedy, fervent light.
Huang Long watched the greedy and fervent light in the other’s eyes, smiling coldly in his heart. He pointed with both hands, and a beam of golden light shot toward the Chaos Bell. The Chaos Bell rang, and immediately, the aura of primordial yellow and black surged toward the primordial beast.
Wherever this primordial yellow and black aura passed, space shattered. The light gray sea surface seemed to be forced apart by a powerful force, revealing the abyssal depths below. Seeing this, panic flashed in the primordial beast’s light gray giant eyes. Then, countless antennae on its head glowed, and golden-red lightning spread across the sky. Unlike the golden-red lightning snake before, this was a golden-red lightning dragon.
The golden-red lightning dragon moved around, generating immense lightning power that formed layers of lightning barriers to attack the primordial yellow and black aura. With a loud roar, the two forces collided. Space trembled violently, accompanied by continuous crackling sounds. After a brief stalemate, the primordial yellow and black aura shattered the enemy’s barriers, breaking through space to continue attacking the primordial beast.
The golden-red lightning dragons roared and struggled before disappearing. The primordial beast’s eyes grew even more fearful, and its huge head shook violently as it raised itself further above the sea surface, its body gradually appearing before Huang Long. Its lower body was oval-shaped, covered in countless antennae that functioned like legs. Once the entire beast was exposed above the sea, its antennae moved to form a cage-like shield, isolating the surrounding air currents. Protected by this shield, the beast disappeared from Huang Long’s sight.
Then, the primordial yellow and black aura struck. With a loud bang, the cage-like shield trembled violently, and the antennae gradually disintegrated, revealing the beast’s body once again. As the aura continued to attack, the beast was flung into the air, rolling millions of miles before finally stopping and crashing back into the sea. With a thunderous impact, waves splashed everywhere, shaking the world. The primordial beast sank to the bottom of the sea. Gradually, calm returned. Yet, the solemn expression on Huang Long’s face deepened. Although that attack had injured the primordial beast, it was impossible to kill it in one strike. After all, it was a being close to a divine king! Huang Long expanded his divine senses, reaching out into the surroundings and beneath the sea, but he detected no trace of the enemy’s presence.
“Has it hidden its aura?” Huang Long sneered inwardly. He raised his right hand, pointed with two fingers at the center of his forehead, and a golden light flashed, sweeping across the surroundings. Beneath the Heaven-Penetrating Eye, hundreds of millions of miles to the left in the ocean depths, the form of the Hongmeng beast was nowhere to be hidden. A cold glint appeared in Huang Long’s eyes. He lifted his right palm, and the Chaos Bell flew upward toward the hidden area above the beast in the ocean, arriving there in an instant. The Chaos Bell expanded to the size of thousands of miles, and its body crashed down, breaking through the sea surface before instantly enveloping the Hongmeng beast. The beast, unprepared for Huang Long to locate its hiding place even after it had hidden its aura, roared in fury upon seeing the Chaos Bell descending. It stirred up waves spanning millions of miles, and countless tentacles sprouted from its head, shooting toward the Chaos Bell. From afar, countless streams of light shot upward, resembling a meteor shower from bottom to top. At that moment, a thunderous bell sound rang out. From within the bell, a terrifying gust of wind surged forth, sweeping toward those countless tentacles. Then, patches of starlight descended from within the Chaos Bell. The brilliant starlight overwhelmed those tentacles. When the starlight disappeared, those tentacles vanished as well. The Hongmeng beast was terrified. It tried to retract its tentacles but found that they showed no reaction, as if they had completely disappeared from the world. “This Hongmeng treasure can even set up formation restrictions while attacking?!” The beast stared in horror at the Chaos Bell high in the sky. By then, the Chaos Bell had completely enveloped it. The beast felt the space around it tighten and darkness descend; it found itself inside a starry expanse. In the vast starry sky, distant stars shed their brilliant light. “Is this a restricted space?!” The beast was shocked. Lightning surged throughout its body as it began to attack wildly in all directions. Outside, Huang Long waved his hands, causing the Chaos Bell to shrink and return to his hand. Muffled noises came from within the bell. Huang Long knew they were caused by the beast’s attacks inside. With a cold smile, he intensified the light in his hand. Inside the Chaos Bell, a buzzing sound arose, the starry sky trembled, and the beast’s mind buzzed. Since the beast had entered the Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation inside the Chaos Bell, Huang Long wasn’t worried it would escape. However, it was necessary to make it suffer a bit. Huang Long didn’t put the Chaos Bell back into his body either. He continued to move forward, holding it in one hand and constantly using it to strike the beast, leaving it dizzy.
At first, this Hongmeng beast was as stubborn as the monsters Huang Long had tamed before, roaring and cursing furiously, extremely arrogant, vowing to tear Huang Long to pieces once it got out. But as days passed and Huang Long continued to launch attacks using the grand formation along with celestial fire, the Hongmeng beast was tortured to the point of agony, filled with utter fear, and began to beg Huang Long for mercy. When the beast pleaded, Huang Long ignored it and kept attacking until nearly a month later, when they left the Hongmeng space, he finally stopped and incorporated the beast into his army of magical beasts. After subduing it, Huang Long learned that this Hongmeng beast was actually a Hongmeng Thunder Beast, part of the royal lineage among beasts and one of the strongest creatures in the Hongmeng space. However, after encountering this Hongmeng Thunder Beast, Huang Long never faced another Hongmeng beast with power surpassing that of a supreme god; if he did encounter any, they were merely weaklings, at most on par with the power of a master god. “Is this the Hongmeng Chaos World?” Huang Long frowned as he looked at the muddy-like space ahead. The air currents flowing in that space were thick and viscous, resembling mud pits. These clumps of muddy-like air currents were not dense, as if stuck in place, and within their viscosity, various dust particles could be seen. Occasionally, terrifying hurricanes swept through these thick air currents. “Yes, master, this is indeed the Hongmeng Chaos World!” The Hongmeng Thunder Beast quickly stepped forward to flatter him. By then, its size had shrunk countless times, standing only a few meters tall. In its reduced size, it looked rather endearing, somewhat like a pet kept by nobles in the mortal realms. Huang Long nodded, then extended his divine sense. However, the Hongmeng Chaos World greatly hindered the use of divine senses; Huang Long could only detect what was within hundreds of miles, beyond that, he knew nothing. Thus, it was impossible to locate the entrance to the Hongmeng Realm. The Hongmeng Realm existed within the Hongmeng Chaos without a specific location, and Livia had only told Huang Long a general area on its edge. Although the Hongmeng Thunder Beast was a Hongmeng beast in the Hongmeng space, it too did not know the exact location of the entrance to the Hongmeng Realm. Huang Long had no choice but to search on his own. Fortunately, a few days later, his divine sense finally detected an abnormal energy fluctuation ahead. Following the direction of this fluctuation, Huang Long arrived at a spatial entrance. The entrance covered an area of hundreds of miles and, from afar, resembled a hole of light.
Huang Long entered with the Hongmeng beast in a flash; he felt his body become lighter, the scene before his eyes changed, and he found himself in a world of mountains and rivers, with a vibrant life force washing over him.
