Chapter 0708: The Ownership of the Holy Light Stone
After several attacks, the four members of Keller’s group realized they could not break through the array barriers set up by the Yellow Dragon around the Magic Island, which grew more and more frustrating for them.
So, they brought out their divine artifacts. Aside from Keller, Leo, Opot, and Hibere all wielded Holy King treasures, making their attacks even more powerful.
Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon also unleashed his magical weapons—such as the Chaos Bell, Thunder Gathering Vessel, Immortal Binding Rope, and Sky-Piercing Umbrella—and even, in the end, the Five Prison Divine Cauldron to launch attacks.
Inside the Magic Island, Rivia and Huoyang seized every opportunity to attack, forcing Keller’s group to simultaneously defend against the Yellow Dragon’s array and deal with Rivia and Huoyang’s assaults.
As a result, a stalemate ensued, and Keller’s group still could not break through the Yellow Dragon’s defenses.
Time passed slowly. One day went by.
Inside the Magic Island, the milky white light grew stronger, and amidst its fluctuations, a faint sense of holiness began to emanate—signs that the Holy Light Stone was about to be born!
Seeing this, Rivia’s eyes filled with joy.
Once the Holy Light Stone appeared, if she could seize it, she would no longer fear Keller’s group.
Compared to Rivia’s joy, Keller’s group grew increasingly enraged.
Two days passed. The milky white light shone brightly, and the holy aura filled the entire Magic Island. Under this sacred energy, even the aura of the ancient corpses around the island began to turn holy.
“What do we do now?! The Holy Light Stone is about to be born. Are we supposed to just watch as it’s taken by that fox and the Yellow Dragon?!” Leo said grimly outside the Magic Island.
The three members of Keller’s group remained silent upon hearing this.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from afar.
Keller’s group turned to look and were overjoyed to see Yi Dehai and Mu Li arriving!
The three members of the Yellow Dragon’s group felt their hearts sink upon seeing them.
“Haha, you two arrived just in time! Let’s work together to break through this island’s array barriers!” Hibere laughed from afar.
Before flying to the Magic Island, Yi Dehai and Mu Li exchanged a glance, then landed beside Keller’s group and joined forces with them.
Originally, they planned to strike suddenly, taking advantage of the Yellow Dragon and Rivia’s unpreparedness to kill the Yellow Dragon. But now that Hibere had spoken up, there was no need for them to hide any longer.
A cold glint appeared in the Yellow Dragon’s eyes—Yi Dehai and Mu Li had indeed allied with Leo and Keller’s group!
“Hehe, Huang Long, I’m truly sorry, but this time you must die in the River of Black and Yellow.” After arriving, Yi Dehai greeted the four people including Keller, then turned to Huang Long with a cold smile. Since he had already dropped his pretenses, he wouldn’t treat Huang Long with false courtesy anymore.
Huang Long sneered, “Is that so? Die in the River of Black and Yellow? Well, I’m curious to see what skills Yi Dehai and his group have to kill me!”
If Yi Dehai had known that in the battlefield of the Hongmeng Realm, Huang Long could escape from nine powerful divine kings, he probably wouldn’t have said such things.
Yi Dehai and the others were unaware, but Huoyang knew. After hearing Yi Dehai’s words, he looked at him with mockery. If such words came from a powerful holy king, he would believe them, but coming from Yi Dehai, Huoyang thought it was just a joke.
After speaking, Yi Dehai turned and saw Huoyang’s mocking gaze. He was stunned for a moment before his anger flared, with murderous intent shining in his eyes.
Mu Li sneered, “Huang Long, although we have to admit your formation is impressive, thinking you can use this hastily set up formation to block our six attacks is simply naive and ignorant!”
“Everyone, let’s attack together and break this great formation!”
Thus, Yi Dehai and his wife, along with Keller and the others, took to the air and attacked the Demon Island once again.
With Yi Dehai and his wife joining in, Keller and the others’ attacks became even more intense. Amidst loud explosions, the formation trembled violently. After several attacks, its defensive barrier gradually weakened.
Seeing this, Keller and the others were delighted.
Huang Long frowned, a cold glint in his eyes. With a thought, a flash of light appeared, and the protective barrier of the Demon Island’s formation suddenly expanded outward, reaching right in front of Keller and the others in an instant.
Leo, Opot, and Hibere were terrified upon seeing this. They hadn’t forgotten the battle at Silver Fox Mountain, where they had been caught off guard by Huang Long’s sudden activation of the formation, trapping them inside. So, at first sight, they instinctively panicked and flew back.
Keller, following behind Leo and the others, also quickly retreated.
However, Yi Dehai and his wife were a step slower. They weren’t as lucky as Leo and the others. Just as they tried to fly away, they were engulfed by Huang Long’s formation and instantly trapped inside it.
“Damn it!” Yi Dehai and his wife realized they were trapped in a sea of fire and lightning when they saw their surroundings change. They were furious to have been caught by Huang Long’s formation so suddenly.
The two of them launched a full-force attack at the endless sea of fire. With a deafening roar, the sea of fire was split in two. Yet, in the blink of an eye, it reformed as before. At that moment, Leo and his three companions also began to attack. Although Yi Dehai and his wife were trapped within the grand formation, Leo and his group were not, so the six of them worked together, and Huang Long failed to gain the upper hand. As time passed, he fell further behind. If this continued, not only would Yi Dehai and his wife break free from the formation, but Huang Long’s grand formation would also be completely shattered by Leo and his men. Though Huang Long had Rivia and Huoyang to assist him, he still couldn’t reverse the situation. A few hours later, the milky white light grew increasingly intense, illuminating an area of hundreds of millions of miles around the Demon Island. Seeing this, Leo and his men intensified their attacks even more. The Sacred Light Stone was about to be born! Huang Long’s pressure soared. With a loud crash, the energy shield of the grand formation shook violently before a clear sound was heard—the formation finally cracked open. Seeing this, Leo and his six companions were overjoyed. “Haha, Huang Long, die!” Kayler swung his long sword and slashed at the crack in the formation, widening it further. The formation was on the verge of being completely destroyed! Rivia and Huoyang’s expressions changed upon seeing this. If Huang Long’s formation was broken and their defense collapsed, they would have to face Kayler and his six men head-on. Although Huang Long’s formation was excellent, it couldn’t withstand direct combat against a divine king-level warrior. Thus, the two of them would have to deal with Kayler and his group! The outcome was predictable! Watching the crack in the formation grow wider and the formation on the brink of collapse, Leo and his six companions grew even more delighted. “Huang Long, I told you before—no matter how powerful your formation is, it can’t stop our six of us!” Mu Li sneered coldly. Her Green Dragon Great Sword flashed with a cold light. With a twist of her hand, a giant green dragon appeared and rushed at Huang Long. This Green Dragon Great Sword was one of the immortal weapons that Huang Long had given to Mu Li and her husband back in the Mor Mountain Range. Seeing this, Huang Long sneered inwardly. He formed a spell in his hand, and suddenly, Mu Li’s Green Dragon Great Sword trembled violently before flying out of her grasp and slashing at him. At the same time, the icy spear in Yi Dehai’s hand also broke free and turned against him. Caught off guard, Yi Dehai and Mu Li didn’t expect such a turn of events and quickly dodged. Though they avoided the counterattacks from the sword and spear, they were in a desperate situation. With a thought from Huang Long, the sword and spear turned into two beams of light and returned to his side.
“You?!” Yi Dehai and Mu Li’s faces turned extremely grim as they pointed at Huang Long. These two artifacts, which they considered to be sacred treasures of the Holy King, had seemed to be fully under their control after years of refinement. Yet just now, they had completely slipped out of their grasp. Needless to say, Huang Long had tampered with them back then!
Huang Long stared coldly at the two of them. When he gave them these two immortal artifacts, he had anticipated that they might ally with the Three Mountains of Tianlong Mountain. So, he had already made alterations to them. Both artifacts bore Huang Long’s divine imprint, and he had used secret techniques that Yi Dehai and Mu Li failed to detect.
After all, Yi Dehai and Mu Li were no match for Rivia. Due to Meng Lei’s influence, Rivia and Huang Long had formed a genuine alliance back then.
As Huang Long retrieved the two immortal artifacts, Leo and his four companions launched another attack.
After a loud roar, the grand formation was finally shattered and collapsed.
The moment the formation was broken, a milky white light suddenly surged within the Demon Island. Then, a powerful column of energy rose from the midst of the light, piercing a hole high in the sky of the island.
Within that column of energy, a dazzling light slowly emerged. Inside the light was a fist-sized hexagonal stone.
“The Holy Light Stone!” Eight voices of excitement rang out almost simultaneously.
That fist-sized hexagonal stone was indeed the Holy Light Stone.
With the appearance of the Holy Light Stone, several figures took off at once, flying straight toward it.
Leo and the other six could no longer focus on killing Huang Long. What mattered most to them was seizing the Holy Light Stone first.
Rivia and Huoyang also took off at the same time as Leo and the others.
Only Huang Long remained motionless.
Standing there, he watched Leo and the others fly toward the Holy Light Stone, a cold smile playing on his lips. He waved his hands, and suddenly the sky around them changed. Then, Leo and the others found that the Holy Light Stone had disappeared before their eyes—they were now in a multicolored space filled nothing but brilliant colors.
“A formation restriction!” Leo and the others’ expressions changed, turning grim as they hadn’t expected Huang Long to have such a last resort!
“Huang Long!” Leo roared in anger, blasting wildly at the surrounding space, his eyes red with fury.
Hebrey and the others reacted similarly to Leo.
Originally, they thought they would get the Holy Light Stone, but now!
Their anger could only be imagined.
Seeing this, Livia and Huoyang were overjoyed. They both acted immediately to break the beam of light from the Holy Light Stone. With a gesture in the void, Livia caught the Holy Light Stone and brought it into her hands.
