Chapter 0705: The Fifth Layer of the River of Black and Yellow

The others also noticed the five-pointed, radiant fruit in Livia’s hand when the higher gods exclaimed in shock. Instantly, all of them stared at the five-pointed fruit with burning eyes and rapid breathing.
Just like the blond young man, Heli, before them, greed arose in their hearts.
The blond young man, Heli, knew the identities of the three Yellow Dragons. Even he, who had seen the five-pointed fruit and the key to the Heavenly Palace, still felt greedy—let alone these people, who had no idea who the Yellow Dragons were!
The key to the Heavenly Palace was locked on an island at the center of the divine realm. Due to the grand array on the island, no one had been able to enter and obtain it since the birth of the Bulu divine plane. All they knew was that the key was there.
Putting aside the key, not to mention the water element energy contained within the five-pointed fruit, the mere fact that it could open the Heavenly Palace and lead to the outside world was enough to drive the gods mad.
Everyone has curiosity—who wouldn’t want to leave the Bulu divine plane and see the outside world?!
The three Yellow Dragons stood there. Seeing the fervent looks in their eyes, Livia sneered inwardly and chose not to act. She wanted to see how these ants would behave next.
Huo Yang also stood there, looking at them with mockery, while only the Yellow Dragons remained calm.
“This is Lord Dongwang Dok’s territory. Which family do you belong to? How dare you invade Lord Dok’s domain?!” After a while, one of the higher gods snapped back to reality and shouted at the three Yellow Dragons.
Although they didn’t know how Livia had obtained the key to the Heavenly Palace, in the eyes of these higher gods, no matter what the identities of the three Yellow Dragons might be, they couldn’t possibly be higher than Lord Dongwang Dok, one of the Four Great Kings!
Lord Dongwang Dok was the strongest among the Four Great Kings, meaning he was the strongest being in the Bulu divine plane.
“Hand over the key to the Heavenly Palace obediently and come with us to apologize to Lord Dok. Perhaps he will spare your lives!” Another higher god ordered sternly.
“Apologize? Spare us?” Huo Yang couldn’t help but laugh coldly.
Just as those higher gods were about to say more, Huo Yang raised his hand, swept through the air, and sent the two of them flying violently, crashing them into one of the palaces in the palace complex.
With a loud crash, the palace collapsed, and screams were heard.
Immediately, countless figures flew over, as the commotion finally alerted the other powerful beings.
“You, you!” The other higher gods stared at the two who had been flung away, then glared angrily at Huo Yang. They never expected anyone to dare attack them in the Heavenly Palace!

“What’s going on?!” At that moment, a majestic voice rang out, and soon after, a dignified middle-aged man rushed forward before everyone.
“Your Majesty, the Eastern King!” The higher-ranking gods were overjoyed upon seeing him and quickly approached to pay their respects.
The man was none other than Dok, one of the four great kings of the Bulu God Realm.
Yet, as soon as Dok spoke and saw the brilliant pentagonal fruit in Livya’s hand, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “The key to the Heavenly Palace!”
“Your Majesty, these three dared to invade the forbidden grounds of the Heavenly Palace. We were about to capture them and punish them, but unexpectedly, they dared to attack first!” one of the higher-ranking gods stepped forward and said.
Dok reluctantly took his gaze off the pentagonal fruit and looked at the three Yellow Dragons. His expression was filled with surprise and confusion, but Livya’s enchanting beauty caught his eye.
“May I ask how you should be addressed?” Dok asked cautiously.
The fact that the three Yellow Dragons could obtain the key to the Heavenly Palace from that island made Dok uneasy. He knew the restrictions of that island—even he couldn’t enter it. How could these three manage to get in?!
“How should we address you? Do you even deserve to be addressed?” Huoyang said mockingly.
Upon hearing this, Dok’s face turned grim, while the other higher-ranking gods were filled with anger.
“Dare you!” one of them started to scold, but before he could finish, a red glow flashed in Huoyang’s eyes, and the god collapsed. A hole of fire appeared in the center of his forehead, piercing through his head from front to back. Flames spread from the hole, gradually consuming his head, then his neck, and finally his body!
Dok and the other higher-ranking gods watched in horror as the bizarre scene unfolded before them, breaking into cold sweats.
It was then that the powerful higher-ranking gods realized Huoyang’s true strength!
Previously, when Huoyang had thrown those two gods aside, they hadn’t paid much attention, but now they understood.
As they were shocked, Huoyang’s aura surged. Above, the weather changed—once clear skies turned dark with clouds, lightning flashed, and a fierce hurricane arose. The white clouds floating around the Heavenly Palace complex scattered in fear.
Dok and the other gods were blown away and fell to the palace floor, feeling Huoyang’s terrifying pressure. They were terrified, trembling, not knowing what to say.
“Ants remain ants!” Huoyang said coldly, looking at Dok and the other gods who knelt there, too afraid to move.
Dok shuddered at those words.

“Great Lord God, Lord God!” Dong Wangduo started to speak, but was flung away by Huoyang with a swipe of his sleeve, plummeting straight from the heavens to the surface of the Divine Realm Sea before sinking to the bottom.
“Lord God? Ignorant!” Huoyang’s gaze was icy cold.
If the fallen Dong Wangduo had known he was killed just because of his use of the title “Lord God,” who knows what he would have thought.
The higher gods, seeing their lord Dong Wangduo die like this, were terrified and trembling; one of them even wet the ground with sweat.
Huoyang ordered them to follow in Dong Wangduo’s footsteps.
“Enough, important matters come first. Let’s leave this Bulu Space first,” said Huang Long at that moment.
Huoyang was naturally hot-tempered; when enraged, he sometimes ignored his status and might very well destroy all the gods in Bulu Space on a whim.
Only upon hearing this did Huoyang stop.
At that time, Livia turned around, raised her hands, and the brilliant pentagonal fruit slowly rose from her hands before falling into the small pentagonal hole shaped like a green tree at the gate of the Heavenly Palace.
As the pentagonal fruit was inserted, a fierce light burst forth, illuminating the entire world. Everyone in Bulu Space could see that brilliant light.
Then, the entire Bulu Space seemed to shake, and with a creaking sound, the gate of the Heavenly Palace finally opened.
As soon as the gate opened, Huang Long and the other two flew to its edge.
Outside the gate was the void of the original Wan Zhen Abyss. Without hesitation, the three flew out. As they emerged, Livia waved her hand toward the pentagonal fruit and summoned it into her hand.
The three left Bulu Space, and the gate closed again.
Bulu Space disappeared, and everything returned to the void of the Wan Zhen Abyss where Huang Long and the others had been before.
With a swift movement, the three passed through the void of the Wan Zhen Abyss.
The fourth layer was finally behind them.
Next was the fifth layer—the Abyss of Ancient Corpses.
After a while, Huang Long and the others arrived at the entrance to the Abyss of Ancient Corpses. Green smoke seeped out from the entrance, carrying an unbearable stench.
Even before entering, the smell was so foul it made people want to vomit. But thinking about how worse it would be once inside, and knowing that the stench here wasn’t ordinary but came from the decay of various corpses, filled with extreme poison, Huang Long quickly summoned the Five Directional Spirit Flags. The energy of the five elements protected the surrounding space, blocking out the smoke and stench.
Still worried, Livia brought out a divine artifact that isolated the surrounding space, protecting it. It seemed women truly hated stench intensely.

“Let’s go.” Huang Long glanced at the two of them, who nodded. Then, the three of them flew through the green mist and entered the Fifth Layer of the Ancient Corpse Abyss.

As soon as they entered this abyss, it felt like stepping into a sickly green world. Green mist filled every corner in sight. Although the mist and stench of corpses were blocked out, seeing the green mist around them reminded Livia of the previous foul smell, making her feel nauseous and her expression turn unpleasant. Huang Long and Huo Yang, on the other hand, remained calm.

The three of them hovered in the air, below them lay an endless expanse of swamp-like viscous liquid, all green in color. “Is this the Ancient Corpse Poison Water?!” asked Huang Long.

When corpses rot, they produce some fluid to a certain extent, but only in small amounts. To form such an endless amount of this fluid, countless corpses must have accumulated over time. Livia intended to find a divine stone called the Holy Light Stone in this filthy place. This Holy Light Stone, the opposite of the filth and stench here, was one of the purest things in the world.

Huang Long expanded his divine sense. After flying over the Ancient Corpse Abyss for several hours, all they saw were the green mist around them and the Ancient Corpse Poison Water below. “The Holy Light Stone must be in the filthiest part of this abyss. But where exactly is that?” Huo Yang spoke as they flew.

Upon hearing this, Livia frowned. As Huo Yang said, they knew the Holy Light Stone originated from the filthiest part of the abyss, but they didn’t know where it was! Suddenly, Huang Long raised his head and looked toward the south.

Livia and Huo Yang were puzzled by Huang Long’s expression and extended their divine senses. “Ancient Demons?!” they exclaimed in unison, then their faces lit up with joy. Just then, both of them sensed a disturbance in the energy far ahead.

In this Ancient Corpse Abyss, although all life was extinct, it wasn’t absolute. From the Ancient Corpse Poison Water, monsters called Ancient Demons had emerged. Immediately, Huang Long and the others sped toward the source of the energy disturbance.

After a while, they arrived and saw on a small island ahead two groups of monsters covered in green fur. Each monster was over ten meters tall, with thick limbs, blood-red eyes, and ugly faces. From their nostrils, sickly green mist constantly billowed out—those were the Ancient Demons.
