Chapter 0691: I Want to Kill You Now
Inside the Group of Immortals Pavilion, Huang Long hurriedly mobilized the power of the immortals within his body to control the pavilion’s defense array. Instantly, thousands of arrays within the pavilion activated simultaneously, emitting countless beams of light that managed to withstand the aftereffects of the Nine Divine Kings’ attacks.
The Group of Immortals Pavilion returned to stability.
Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had already moved the pavilion millions of miles away from Wuyou Island. Though shaken by the aftereffects of the Nine Divine Kings’ attacks, if it had remained on Wuyou Island, it would have been directly destroyed even with thousands of arrays for protection.
Not to mention the Group of Immortals Pavilion—even Huang Long, protected by the Chaos Bell, would have suffered severe injuries or even died!
The combined attacks of the Nine Divine Kings were devastating!
Even a powerful Divine King would perish under such attacks!
As for those inside the Group of Immortals Pavilion—Pilong, Thunder Beast, Nisier, and the others—there was no need to say more.
Millions of miles away, as the pavilion stabilized, Pilong, Thunder Beast, Nisier, and the others were filled with terror!
Pilong’s rogueish demeanor had vanished. When the aftereffects of the Nine Divine Kings’ attacks hit the pavilion, he even felt as though the heavens and earth were collapsing.
After Huang Long stabilized the pavilion using its array, miles away, Meiwaxi, the supreme elder of the Golden Ape clan, let out a surprised exclamation before looking over. His third eye between his brows glowed with golden light as it scanned the area.
Following Meiwaxi, Felix, Huoyang, and others also noticed what was happening.
The attacks of the Nine Divine Kings caused tremors in the Group of Immortals Pavilion. Though these only stirred the waters millions of miles away, their divine senses were so powerful that they quickly detected the anomaly.
As their divine senses swept over, Huang Long’s heart skipped a beat. Realizing the situation was critical, he quickly transformed the pavilion into a streak of light and left instantly. At the same time, the hidden aura array on the pavilion’s surface activated, concealing it once again.
Just as the pavilion left, a deafening explosion rang out.
The millions of square miles of sea area around where the pavilion had been struck by nine powerful forces caused the seawater to be ejected upward, eliminating millions of square miles of water and revealing the seabed.
From afar, it looked as though a huge black hole had been carved into the Sea of Heavenly Corners.
It took a long time before the seawater slowly flowed back into that area, gradually filling it again.
Above the sea, violent tremors occurred as the figures of the Nine Divine Kings appeared simultaneously.
With their divine senses expanded, their expressions turned grim.
The third eye of Mevashi glowed with golden light, scanning the surroundings. After a while, like the other divine kings, it achieved nothing.
Feili’s murderous intent surged as he soared into the air and launched fierce attacks across the seas. Countless thunder dragons covered hundreds of millions of miles around, descending with tremendous force. Waves surged, filling the sky with sparkling light.
Meanwhile, the Divine King of Fire and Sun, Mevashi, and Pavan, the leader of the Black Bear clan, among others, also took action. With the intervention of these divine kings, waves across hundreds of millions of miles were overturned! Countless sea beasts beneath the sea were instantly destroyed.
It wasn’t long before the entire Sky Corner was utterly transformed under the combined assault of the nine divine kings. The sea no longer resembled a sea—full of craters—and all the islands disappeared, turning the entire area into countless small lakes. Within these lakes lay numerous rifts and abyssal pits.
Yet what made the nine divine kings even angrier was that despite overturning the entire Sky Corner, their opponent remained nowhere to be found, as if they had completely vanished from existence.
“Damn it!” Feili roared in fury.
They had gone to such lengths to obtain information about the World Tree of Heaven, only to endure endless waiting and fierce battles. In the end, the Tree had fallen into the hands of strangers—people they didn’t even know what they looked like! If word of this got out, it would surely bring ridicule from the gods of the Hongmeng Realm.
Being ridiculed by the gods of the Hongmeng Realm was one thing, but the thought of losing the World Tree and being unable to carry out their plans filled the divine kings with rage and hatred.
The World Tree, this supreme spiritual treasure of Hongmeng, was useful to all the divine kings. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone through such trouble to come to this battlefield and wait here.
After a while, Pavan, the leader of the Black Bear clan, was the first of the nine divine kings to leave. After Pavan left, Mevashi of the Golden Ape clan also departed. Finally, the other divine kings left one after another, leaving only Divine King Feili and the Divine King of Fire and Sun.
The Divine King of Fire and Sun stared intently at his opponent, his eyes flashing with cold light. Divine King Feili also glared at him coldly. After a moment, Feili snorted coldly, then turned into a bolt of lightning and left. Watching Feili go, the Divine King of Fire and Sun’s expression shifted, but he ultimately gave up trying to stop him—his opponent was indeed stronger by a fraction, and another battle would end in the same result as before.
“Hmph, Feili. One day, I will avenge this humiliation!” the Divine King of Fire and Sun sneered inwardly. With that, he turned into a flame and disappeared from the Sky Corner.
He had waited through so many ages—waiting longer didn’t matter to him. Once his strength reached the peak of a divine king, he would be confident enough to defeat his opponent and wash away his past shame.
Yet, upon thinking that he had not obtained the Heavenly Tree this time, the Fire Yang Divine King couldn’t help but feel disappointed. The Heavenly Tree was of great significance to him; if he had obtained it, he was confident that after a few eras, his strength could reach the late stage of Divine King. At that stage, even if he couldn’t defeat Fei Li, he could at least draw a tie with him.
“Heavenly Tree!” The Fire Yang Divine King frowned.
Who dared to snatch the Heavenly Tree right under the noses of these nine Divine Kings?! And they hadn’t even noticed, despite it having remained hidden all along?!
“Could it be the leader of the Shadow Clan?!” the Fire Yang Divine King thought to himself.
The Shadow Clan was one of the three thousand Hongmeng races. Some said its leader originated from a shadow within the chaos of Hongmeng, while others claimed it was a shadow that separated from its original form when a certain Sacred King achieved divinity.
Regardless of the legend, it was an established fact that the leader of the Shadow Clan possessed the most advanced concealment skills among all the Divine Kings.
As he pondered, the Fire Yang Divine King flew toward the transmission array at the center of the plane battlefield.
Since the Heavenly Tree was now in someone else’s hands, staying in this plane battlefield was pointless. Thus, the Fire Yang Divine King decided to leave the Hongmeng Realm’s plane battlefield and return to his own Fire Yang Realm.
After the Divine Kings left for a long time, some of the supreme divine warriors who had been hiding outside the Heavenly Corner gradually emerged. They flew above the former sea area of the Heavenly Corner and were shocked by the horrific sight of it after being ravaged by the Divine Kings. All of them gasped in awe.
“It seems someone stole the treasure that the Divine Kings guarded so fiercely? Did that anger them?!”
“It seems so?! Who could dare to snatch the treasure the Divine Kings protected so zealously?!”
These supreme divine warriors discussed among themselves.
The terrifying abysses in the sea below still retained the power of the Divine Kings, and the powerful aura from these forces filled everyone with fear. They could imagine just how terrifying the forces unleashed during the fierce battles between the Divine Kings must have been. Their admiration and reverence for those who dared to steal the treasure the Divine Kings guarded grew even stronger.
To escape under the attacks of the Divine Kings, regardless of whether the person was seriously injured or not, such news would cause a sensation throughout the Hongmeng Realm!
At that moment, Huang Long also led the Group of Immortals Pavilion toward the transmission array at the center of the plane battlefield.
The Heavenly Tree, which had been trapped within the Group of Immortals Pavilion’s grand array, initially resisted fiercely, but as the array suppressed it, it gradually calmed down.
Huang Long approached the Heavenly Tree and gazed at it, lost in thought.
This Tianyu Tree is a top-tier Hongmeng spiritual treasure; its value is unimaginable. Yet for the current Yellow Dragon, it’s of little use. What the Yellow Dragon needs is the ultimate Hongmeng treasure hidden within the upcoming Xuanhuang River Map! To slay those two corpses, an ultimate Hongmeng treasure is essential—even this Tianyu Tree cannot assist the Yellow Dragon in accomplishing this. After much consideration, the Yellow Dragon made up its mind.
Reaching the transmission array at the center of the plane battlefield, the Yellow Dragon stopped and then concealed itself in the void, waiting quietly. Before long, upon arriving at the transmission array, it saw Pawan, the leader of the Black Bear clan, who was the first to leave the Celestial Horn. After arriving, Pawan used the transmission array to leave the plane battlefield and return to the Hongmeng Realm. Following Pawan was Mevashi from the Golden Ape clan. Before reaching the transmission array, Mevashi suddenly stopped and scanned the surroundings. After a while, finding nothing, he left the plane battlefield through the transmission array with a frown.
Not long after, the Yellow Dragon saw Fei Li, the Divine King of the Thunder Roc clan. “Fei Li must already be aware of what happened at the Thunder Roc Mountain in the Chaos Divine Realm. But if he finds out that it was he who stole the Tianyu Tree, I wonder what he’ll think?” the Yellow Dragon thought to itself as it watched Fei Li.
After Fei Li left, the figure of the Fire Sun Divine King gradually appeared in the Yellow Dragon’s sight. Seeing the Fire Sun Divine King appear, a smile tugged at the Yellow Dragon’s lips. The Chaos Fire Sun Stone—finally, the Yellow Dragon had waited long enough for it!
Just as the Fire Sun Divine King was about to leave the transmission array, a sudden voice rang out, “The Fire Sun Divine King has come all this way to the Hongmeng Realm—will you just give up and leave like this?” The Fire Sun Divine King was shocked and turned around, shouting, “Who is there?!” Under his gaze, a young man with black hair appeared from above behind him.
The Fire Sun Divine King’s eyes narrowed. The opponent’s skill at concealing his aura was so advanced that he had managed to evade the Divine King’s earlier detection! Yet, with a sweep of his divine sense, he quickly discovered that the opponent was merely a Supreme Divine powerhouse!
“Calling out to this Divine King without giving me a proper explanation—you should know what awaits you!” the Fire Sun Divine King said coldly, staring at the Yellow Dragon.
Ignoring the opponent’s murderous intent, the Yellow Dragon smiled and said, “An explanation? I want you to help me enter the seventh layer of the Xuanhuang River!”
A mere Supreme Divine daring to ask a Divine King for a favor, and doing so so “boldly”? The Fire Sun Divine King laughed in fury, his voice shaking the heavens, filled with endless killing intent—as if unleashing all the anger he had felt after being defeated by Fei Li.
“Help you? Boy, unfortunately, I want to kill you now, and I’ll make sure you die a painful and miserable death!” the Fire Sun Divine King said, emphasizing each word.
