Chapter 0917: The Great Array of the Extinction of the Eighteen Golden Gods

Within the Heavenly and Earthly Sacred Cauldron, wave after wave of blood mist rose. This was the blood mist formed from the explosions of beings below the rank of Supreme Gods. As Chi Rong’s attacks grew more frequent and intense, with each strike, even the strongest Supreme Gods inside the cauldron began spewing bloody drool.
“This can’t go on! If Chi Rong doesn’t break through the cauldron’s defenses, everyone inside will surely perish!” Huang Long was extremely anxious.
If things continued like this, Huang Yi and the others would also not be spared. Although Huang Yi and his companions had greatly improved their strength over these days, reaching the mid-stage of Divine King level, Chi Rong’s power was simply too overwhelming. Even a trace of his strength from the peak of nine eras was beyond what Divine King-level beings could withstand!
“What should we do? What can we do?!” Huang Long panicked, desperately exerting all his strength to activate the Sacred Cauldron.
At that moment, Xing Hai Yuan continuously poured his power into Huang Long’s body to help activate the cauldron’s array, but it was useless. Chi Rong’s attacks kept striking the cauldron. Xing Hai Yuan’s face turned pale. He had already suffered severe injuries earlier, and now he had to resist Chi Rong’s attacks alongside Huang Long—how could he endure? If it weren’t for the life force from Huang Long’s body seeping into his own to sustain him, he would likely have died long ago.
“As long as we can escape to the Star King Realm, we’ll be safe!” Xing Hai Yuan gasped.
“The Star King Realm?! It’s countless trillions of miles away from here. At our speed, it will take at least a month!” Huang Long said.
A month!
Not to mention a month—even just an hour might not be enough!
Behind the Sacred Cauldron, Chi Rong pursued relentlessly, growing increasingly astonished: “This kid—after only five eras, he can still activate the Heavenly and Earthly Sacred Cauldron to fly?!”
He was at the peak of nine eras!
Although he had used only 10% of his strength along the way, even 10% would be enough to severely injure or kill a being from seven eras.
Chi Rong’s eyes flashed. “Why is this kid’s true form so strong? It seems better not to kill him yet. I’ll capture him later, search his soul, obtain his techniques, and then kill him!” With that thought, his hands emitted light as he pointed, breaking through space and striking the Sacred Cauldron.
This time, he had increased his strength to 20%!
The array of three thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts on the Sacred Cauldron instantly collapsed and stopped functioning. At the same time, the cauldron shot forward tens of billions of miles, shattering countless planets in the cosmic space.

Inside the Sacred Cauldron, the supreme divine warriors let out agonized screams as they were struck by the force, their bodies exploding into pieces, turning into streams of blood mist just like those Archgods and Higher Gods. Huang Yi and the other nineteen also spat out bloody saliva, their faces pale. Huang Long’s expression changed. Had it not been for the Chaos Bell protecting Huang Yi and the others, they too would have perished. Xing Haiyuan also had blood dripping from his mouth, his voice hoarse as he spat in hatred, “Damn it! The Infinite Gate and the Heavenly Dao Sect are being too cruel! If I return and report to my father, I must make him plead with the Holy Lord of Falling Stars to avenge me!” Xing Haiyuan’s father was Xing Wuji, the master of the Falling Stars Palace and the eldest disciple of the Holy Lord of Falling Stars! Huang Long’s desire for revenge grew as well. If he managed to escape this time, he would surely retaliate against the Heavenly Dao Sect a hundredfold, a thousandfold later. At that moment, he exerted all his magical power. On the Sea of Souls, the World Tree continuously drew life force from the mysterious space to nourish Huang Long’s body. Huang Long frantically searched for a way to escape. Reaching the Star King’s Great World was definitely unrealistic. “Young master, you have now broken through to five eras and can unlock the fifth layer’s restrictions of the Sacred Cauldron. Perhaps opening the fifth layer’s space can help you!” It was Ok’s voice that rang out. Huang Long was stunned. The fifth layer’s space of the Sacred Cauldron?! Immediately, Huang Long formed a magic formula and unlocked the restrictions of the fifth layer. His original soul flew out of his body and entered the fifth layer’s space. As soon as he entered, he saw only a misty expanse of white fog. Amidst the fog stood eighteen giant divine mountains, each with an eighteen-foot-tall giant seated atop them! Golden giants! “It’s actually Golden-Horned Giants! Eighteen Golden-Horned Giants, each a warrior from six eras!” Huang Long’s divine sense swept across the scene, filling him with shock. Then he felt joy—eighteen Golden-Horned Giants, the strongest among those from six eras, with unparalleled innate strength! That was equivalent to eighteen ordinary Half-Saints from seven eras! But soon, Huang Long’s mood darkened. Because even if there were eighteen ordinary Half-Saints from seven eras, it wouldn’t make any difference. Against warriors at the peak of nine eras like Chi Rong, those Half-Saints could be annihilated with a single flick of their hand! “Huh?!” Suddenly, Huang Long noticed something astonishing. The eighteen giant divine mountains beneath those eighteen Golden-Horned Half-Saints formed a mysterious grand array. “Could this be the Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Array?!” flashed through Huang Long’s mind.

The Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Formation, the most powerful ultimate formation in the Golden Horn Great World, as well as a deadly formation that shakes the three thousand great worlds—who would have thought that the Hongmeng Sacred King would place it in the fifth layer of the Sacred Cauldron Space?!
However, now, Huang Long no longer had the mind to ponder how the Hongmeng Sacred King came by the Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Formation. He immediately forced out eighteen drops of his vital blood and infused them into the bodies of the eighteen Golden Horn Giants.
The moment Huang Long’s vital blood merged with the bodies of the eighteen Golden Horn Giants, their entire bodies were enveloped in brilliant golden light. Their eyes snapped open, and eighteen mighty auras radiated outward.
The incantations for activating the Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Formation appeared in Huang Long’s mind.
With a flash, Huang Long landed among the eighteen divine mountains. As he chanted the incantations, the eighteen Golden Horn Giants also took to the air and gathered around him, forming a formation.
As Huang Long exerted all his strength, the formation glowed brightly, and the eighteen divine mountains rose and settled within it.
The formation began to function.
Suddenly, Huang Long felt exhausted. With his strength equivalent to that of five eras, it was still difficult for him to control the eighteen Golden Horn Giants, each possessing the strength of six eras, in order to activate the Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Formation!
It was then that Huang Long understood why at least five eras of strength were required to unlock the restrictions of the fifth layer of the Sacred Cauldron.
The World Tree continuously poured streams of life force into Huang Long’s body, but it was still not enough.
At that moment, Huang Long waved his hands, and a first-class spiritual vein flew out from his body. It exploded violently, transforming into spiritual energy that was poured into the formation. The formation lit up briefly before returning to calm.
Seeing this, Huang Long waved his hands again, sending out one, then two, then three—a total of a hundred first-class spiritual veins!
With a hundred first-class spiritual veins infused, the formation’s glow grew increasingly bright.
Yet, it was still not enough!
With determination, Huang Long sent out a king-class spiritual vein. The formation’s glow intensified, but it still couldn’t fully activate the Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Formation!
Two king-class veins, then three, four—a total of five!
When a hundred first-class spiritual veins and five king-class spiritual veins were infused, the formation emitted an intense glow, resembling that of tens of millions of suns.
A destructive force, as if dormant for billions of years, erupted from the formation, coalescing into a massive golden god. This golden god was tens of thousands of times larger than the eighteen Golden Horn Giants. It flew out of the formation and delivered a punch. Across layers of space, a huge golden fist imprint rushed toward Chi Rong through the Sacred Cauldron. This enormous golden fist imprint was as large as an entire divine realm!
