Chapter 0853: Retreating into Seclusion Again

Yi Dehai and Mu Li were shocked beyond measure. They tried to plead for mercy once more, but the colossal Chaos Bell had already rushed toward them like a mountain. With no way to avoid it, they transformed into the forms of six-winged golden apes, standing atop Tianlong Mountain and blocking out the sun. With a roar, they swung their massive palms. Two terrifying golden storms charged toward the Chaos Bell.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook Tianlong Mountain violently. Their combined attack barely managed to withstand the chaotic energy of the Chaos Bell. Yet, in the collision, they were also flung away, their faces pale.
As soon as they were sent flying, the Yellow Dragon itself, along with its vital spirit, Good Corpse, and Evil Corpse, appeared behind them and struck with their fists. Those eight fists, capable of shattering space and time, struck the backs of their golden ape forms.
“Argh!” Terrifying screams echoed through the sky, causing the gods on Tianlong Mountain to feel their ears ringing. The two were thrown onto a mountain range, causing it to collapse. Lying there, eight horrifying fist marks were visible on their backs.
“Pfft!” Golden blood kept flowing from their mouths.
The Yellow Dragon retracted its vital spirit, Good Corpse, and Evil Corpse back into its body and slowly descended to stand in front of them.
“Yellow Dragon, I curse you to never be able to achieve sanctity in this lifetime!” Yi Dehai shouted hoarsely, his eyes filled with hatred as he stared at the Yellow Dragon.
The Yellow Dragon sneered, “You’re not the Heavenly Dao. Whether I can achieve sanctity isn’t something you can decide!”
Yi Dehai screamed with all his strength, “I refuse to accept this! I refuse!” Then he collapsed completely, and so did Mu Li.
Billions of years of cultivation were gone in an instant!
“You all are stepping stones for me to achieve sanctity. This is the will of the Heavenly Dao!” said the Yellow Dragon. With a gesture of his hands, he sucked the two back into the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.
Thus, apart from Opot, Keller, Leo, Yi Dehai, and Mu Li, all four divine kings had died at the hands of the Yellow Dragon. Including Parna and Durali, a total of thirteen divine kings!
After the Thunder Beast used one Divine King Core, twelve remained in the Sacred Cauldron.
“Twelve Divine King Cores are still not enough!” the Yellow Dragon thought to itself.
In the future, he wanted to elevate everyone around him to the level of divine kings, and twelve Divine King Cores would definitely be insufficient.
“Master, what should we do with these gods from Tianlong Mountain?!” The Thunder Beast approached the Yellow Dragon, asking respectfully for instructions.
The Yellow Dragon regained his focus, putting aside the matter of the Divine King Cores for now. He glanced at the godly warriors around him, whose expressions ranged from nervousness to awe and terror.

Some were descendants of Tianlong Mountain, while others were from various noble families who had come to offer their congratulations.
“Livya, leave their disposal to you!” said Huang Long.
“Okay!” Livya nodded, then glared fiercely at the descendants of Tianlong Mountain.
A day later, Huang Long and his companions left Tianlong Mountain. As they took off from there, Tianlong Mountain began to crumble behind them, turning into countless fragments and disappearing from the Chaos Divine Realm forever.
All the elders and servants of Tianlong Mountain died at Livya’s hands. Apart from those related to Vitya, all the other descendants were subjected to restrictions by Livya and reduced to slaves on Silver Fox Mountain.
After leaving Tianlong Mountain, Huang Long and his companions went to Fengjin Mountain, Shuangyan Mountain, and Leipeng Mountain. The fates of the descendants from these mountains were similar to those from Tianlong Mountain.
More than a month later, Tianlong Mountain, Fengjin Mountain, Shuangyan Mountain, and Leipeng Mountain—entities that had dominated the Chaos Divine Realm for billions of years—were completely destroyed. Although Xibelei did not participate in the siege of Silver Fox Mountain in the end, he harbored a deep hatred for Huang Long and was killed by him.
The treasures accumulated by these mountains over billions of years were all seized by Huang Long and his companions.
After completely destroying these four mountains, Huang Long left the Chaos Divine Realm and returned to Hailuo Mountain in the Hongmeng Realm.
Except for Livya, who stayed in the Chaos Divine Realm to handle matters related to Silver Fox Mountain, Huoyang, Ok, and Thunder Beast also followed Huang Long back to the Hongmeng Realm.
Upon returning, Huang Long and his companions went to the headquarters of the Leipeng Eight Clans and the Dragon Clan, plundering all the treasures of these nine clans.
The wealth accumulated by the four mountains of Tianlong Mountain and the nine clans of Leipeng over billions of years was astonishing. Even with the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, Huang Long was greatly surprised by the amount of treasure he could gather.
One after another, pills, divine stones, and precious treasures filled the space inside the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron. Huoyang, Ok, and Thunder Beast also received their share of these spoils.
After plundering everything, they dealt with the descendants of the nine clans one by one.
Back at Hailuo Mountain, Huang Long began to reorganize the mountain’s grand formation. Using his divine powers, he brought in 365 more mountains from other places, constructing 365 immortal palaces. He connected them to the stars in the sky and set up a spirit-concentrating formation, making the spiritual energy in a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around Hailuo Mountain a hundred times stronger.
With Hailuo Mountain reorganized in this way, even half-saint-level warriors would find it difficult to break through its defenses, let alone god-king-level warriors.
After everything was arranged, and after giving some instructions to Luos, Nisier, and others, Huang Long began to enter seclusion.

Sitting in mid-air within the Heaven and Earth Sacred Cauldron Formation, the Yellow Dragon summoned the Group of Immortals Pavilion. At that moment, the Pavilion emitted waves of light, with pure energies continuously flowing out from it, causing the surrounding air to hum with power. After summoning the Pavilion, flashes of light appeared around it, and then seven Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures appeared—Brucchi’s Phoenix Fire Sword, Parnar’s Black Demon Sky-Subduing Armor, Durali’s Hunyuan Blood Dragon Hammer, and the other four belonging to Keler and his group. “If I refine all seven of these Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures and merge them into the Group of Immortals Pavilion, it should be able to reach the pinnacle of Post-Natural Spiritual Treasures!” the Yellow Dragon thought to himself. Indeed, he intended to refine all seven treasures and integrate them into the Pavilion, enabling it to fully ascend to the highest level of Post-Natural Spiritual Treasures! “It’s a pity that Fei Li managed to escape. That Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Spear is even stronger than these seven Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures!” the Yellow Dragon felt somewhat regretful. Over these days, he had tried to figure out Fei Li’s location but failed. Thus, he had to put Fei Li aside for now. His top priority was to refine the fourteen Great Divine King Bodies to boost his strength and reforge some of the Pavilion’s important magical artifacts. “Heaven and Earth Formation, refine them for me!” The Yellow Dragon formed spells with his hands, activating the Heaven and Earth Sacred Cauldron Formation. With immense magical power flowing through it, over twenty thousand formations came into operation, gradually merging the seven treasures—Hunyuan Blood Dragon Hammer and Phoenix Fire Sword—with the Group of Immortals Pavilion. The spirit within the Hunyuan Blood Dragon Hammer, a blood dragon, struggled desperately but was instantly crushed by the Yellow Dragon, its essence turning into pure vital energy that seeped into the Pavilion. Meanwhile, the Yellow Dragon reached into the space within the Sacred Cauldron with his hands, pulling out one precious artifact after another—rare divine stones—merging them into the Pavilion. Time passed slowly, year after year, century after century, millennium after millennium. The Group of Immortals Pavilion grew brighter and more powerful, each transformation causing the surrounding space to collapse.
