Chapter 0775: Twenty Divine Kings

As the gods debated and waited eagerly, the time for the 110th Sky Platform Competition finally arrived!
On this day, Hongmeng City was packed with people, and its streets were bustling with traffic, extremely crowded.
Above Hongmeng City, members of the Leipeng clan flew back and forth in groups, maintaining order.
Huang Long and Lu Su and the others left the Naisi residence early, riding on the beast-driven car of the Naisi family toward the Sky Platform in Hongmeng City.
Although the streets were crowded, no one approached the beast-driven car carrying Huang Long and the others, because any god-tier powerhouse who got too close would be repelled by an unknown force.
Even the strongest gods changed their expressions when faced with this force.
However, these people could only watch helplessly as the car moved forward unimpeded. A few hours later, Huang Long and the others reached the central area of Hongmeng City and headed straight for the Sky Platform.
The Sky Platform of Hongmeng City was forged together by the three thousand races of the Hongmeng Realm, using the hardest material in that realm—a divine stone called Divine Iron Wood.
This Divine Iron Wood was even harder than the several-meter-tall Dark Ice Iron used in the Fengming Merchant Guild’s sword-testing event. Under normal circumstances, even the most powerful supreme gods could not shatter it with bare hands.
Before arriving at the Sky Platform, Huang Long gazed at this structure that had stood in the Hongmeng Realm for countless eras.
The platform was a hundred zhang tall and ten li wide.
Due to its light black color, the entire platform emitted a dark glow under the sunlight, giving it a somewhat gloomy appearance.
On the surface of the platform, mysterious runes emitted a faint yellow light, standing out against the light black background. Huang Long knew these were restrictions jointly set up by the twenty-some Divine Kings of the Hongmeng Realm.
Even the most powerful Divine Kings could not easily break these restrictions.
No matter how fiercely the supreme gods attacked or fought on the Sky Platform, it would not be affected in the slightest!
When Huang Long extended his divine sense just before reaching the platform, he was repelled by an unknown force. It seemed these restrictions also worked against the divine senses and soul powers of the gods.
Led by Lu Su, Huang Long and the others arrived at the location of the Naisi family and sat down.
By the time Huang Long and the others reached the Sky Platform, many powerful members of various families had already arrived. After they sat down at the Naisi family’s spot, Huang Long sensed thousands of divine senses scanning them.
“It seems quite a few people are paying attention to the Naisi family!” Huang Long sneered inwardly.

However, Huang Long was not hesitant in repelling these mental probes with his own divine senses. Under Huang Long’s counterattacks, these powerful clan members suffered greatly; some of the elders with weaker divine senses even let out a pained cry, their faces turning pale as their souls were slightly damaged! These clan elites stared in shock at Huang Long and his companions. Due to the secrecy of Huang Long’s counterattacks, they couldn’t be sure it was him, so most assumed it was Luos who had done it, fixing their uncertain gazes on him. This ancestor of the Naisi clan possessed such formidable soul power in addition to his mastery of formations! Because of Huang Long’s counterattacks, these clan elites dared not easily extend their senses to probe this area again. “Hehe, super coward—I never would’ve guessed you had such good luck, managing to pick up several Hongmeng spiritual treasures so easily!” A shrill voice rang out not long after Huang Long and his group settled down. The speaker was Tru, the ancestor of the Stain clan, accompanied by the clan’s senior elder Lei Fu and others, coming from the rooftop entrance. The Stain clan’s location was not far from the Naisi clan, and it was indeed in this direction. Luos sneered, “Is that so? My luck has always been better than yours, you green pumpkin!” By then, Tru and the others had arrived in front of Huang Long and his group. Hearing this, they darkened their expressions and laughed mockingly, “I hope you’ll keep this luck during the rooftop duel!” With that, they led the Stain clan elders back to their clan’s area. As Lei Fu, the Stain clan’s senior elder, passed by, he couldn’t help but cast a menacing glare at Huang Long, the Naisi clan’s senior elder. Huang Long didn’t take Lei Fu’s glare seriously; in his eyes, Lei Fu wasn’t powerful enough. Even if they faced each other in a duel, Huang Long could easily defeat him with his bare hands. The only ones who could earn Huang Long’s slight attention were the senior elders of the Lei Peng, Tian Feng, Tian Long, Jin Yuan, and even Yin Fox clans—those who held positions as one of the five supreme elders of the Hongmeng Realm were all peak divine beings. As Huang Long pondered, more and more powerful clan elites arrived. The seats around the rooftop were gradually filled by representatives from various clans until none were left empty. Those who came this time were mostly clan ancestors, leaders, and elders, with half of them being beings above the level of Supreme Gods. Sensing the auras of these powerful clan elites around him, Huang Long felt deeply moved—so many Supreme God-level beings! In the previous intermediate divine realms, he could never have imagined such a thing.

In the Intermediate Divine Plane, even all the supreme gods from countless divine planes combined amount to only 117!
Yet now, the number of supreme gods here alone is countless times that of 117!
As many clan ancestors, chiefs, and elders knew each other and whispered among themselves, the entire area was filled with murmurs. Not far from the Nais family, Tru, the ancestor of the Stan family, occasionally cast cold glances in their direction.
Just as the gods were chatting animatedly, suddenly everything fell silent. Huang Long couldn’t help but look up, joining the other gods in staring at the podium at the front of the terrace.
Under the gaze of the gods, a group of people stepped forward one after another.
At the forefront was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe, with a purple-black lightning symbol branded on his forehead—King Fei Li, the chief of the Thunder Roc clan!
Following King Fei Li was KingBruchi, the chief of the Heavenly Phoenix clan, then KingTelhan, the chief of the Golden Ape clan, and KingDu La Li, the chief of the Heavenly Dragon clan. Behind Du La Li stood a beautiful woman in a purple skirt—Queen Ziniya, the chief of the Silver Fox clan!
With the appearance of these five great kings, the gods were filled with excitement and reverence.
After them came kings such as Parna, the chief of the Black Bear clan, though they kept a slight distance from the five led by Fei Li.
Even among the king-level powers, there were hierarchies—undoubtedly, the five led by Fei Li held a higher status than the other kings like Parna.
After a while, a total of twenty king-level powers appeared!
When these twenty people showed up, the entire area fell dead silent.
Unlike the gods’ excitement and reverence, Huang Long watched the twenty with a calm expression. Back when he had fought to seize the Heavenly Tree in the Beyond Heavens, he had already met nine of them.
Seeing Fei Li on the podium, Huoyang, who was beside Huang Long, emitted a cold glint from his eyes. The air around them surged, and Fei Li, seemingly sensing something, glanced in their direction.
