Chapter 1079: The Peak of Supreme Divine Artifacts

After absorbing these supreme divine artifacts, the Yellow Dragon incorporated them into its body. As it practiced the Supreme Transformation Art, they were gradually transformed into parts of its own being. The Dragon Gate, the thirty-three divine artifacts, and the Yellow Dragon’s body itself continued to grow stronger.
292, 280, 260…
Tens of thousands of years passed. The Yellow Dragon’s body gradually approached the pinnacle of supreme divine artifacts.
Inside the Void Barrier, time flowed swiftly. Over a million years passed in the blink of an eye. Yet the Yellow Dragon remained coiled within the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, continuously refining these supreme divine artifacts through the Supreme Transformation Art. From afar, it resembled a golden sun suspended high in the sky. This golden sun emitted streams of golden light, which acted like sharp swords cutting through space, creating cracks everywhere.
The Yellow Dragon’s body was covered in layers of golden armor resembling scales. This was not the Heavenly King Armor of the World Tree, but rather a protective layer formed on its body as the Dragon Gate and the thirty-three divine artifacts functioned. After ascending to the level of supreme divine artifacts, they underwent tremendous changes and became even more integrated with the Yellow Dragon’s body. As the Yellow Dragon’s body grew stronger, so did the Dragon Gate and the thirty-three divine artifacts.
Golden energy waves constantly formed on its surface. Though they seemed slow as they rotated, they were actually as fast as light. Even those at the early stages of the Hunyuan Supreme Realm would be harmed if struck by these energy waves.
The Yellow Dragon’s aura continued to rise. Seemingly influenced by this aura, all space within the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron froze. When its aura reached its peak, suddenly, the entire cauldron roared loudly, and sections of space around its body collapsed. A massive black hole appeared. After a while, the roaring subsided, and space gradually returned to normal.
“I’ve finally reached the peak of supreme divine artifacts!” The Yellow Dragon opened its eyes, filled with joy. It moved slightly, causing the golden energy waves around it to scatter.
Indeed, after absorbing these supreme divine artifacts, its strength had risen from 300 to around 100! If it could gather the materials needed to ascend to sacred divine artifacts, its strength could leap from the peak of supreme artifacts to the sacred level!
The Yellow Dragon stood up, raised its hand, and pointed. With that gesture, space collapsed, giving rise to a massive black hole that continued to expand, penetrating beyond the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron itself.

Below this black hole, the innate abnormal flames of the Red Fire Hell outside the Sacred Cauldron were all devoured, exploding and dissipating continuously! The black hole continued to expand until it reached hundreds of millions of miles before stopping. If Wu Tian from a martial sect were to witness this, he would be utterly astonished, for even someone at the Hunyuan He Dao realm could not achieve such a feat! With just a finger gesture, space collapsed to form a black hole spanning hundreds of millions of miles—a feat truly unheard of even for those at the Hunyuan He Dao realm! Although the Holy One of Hunyuan, as an incarnation of the Great Dao, could annihilate peak warriors from the later stages of twelve eras in an instant, he was not omnipotent; his abilities and strength were relative. “Now that I’ve reached the peak of the supreme grade, the next step is to find fragments of the World Tree!” After a while, Huang Long suppressed his excitement and spoke to himself. “Exactly, Huang Long. The most important thing now is to find more fragments of the World Tree to help me regain my former strength!” At that moment, the voice of the World Tree sounded, and it exclaimed in amazement, “Your current strength as your true form is likely even greater than that of peak warriors at the later stages of the He Dao realm. I never expected the Supreme Transformation Art created by that guy, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, to be so extreme!” Huang Long was currently at the peak of the mid-stage Taishang realm, yet his true form was even stronger than peak warriors at the later stages of the He Dao realm! Since the World Tree said so, it must be true. Among the three thousand great worlds, perhaps only Huang Long could be this extreme! The World Tree claiming that his true form was stronger than peak warriors at the later stages of the He Dao realm did not surprise Huang Long. “So where are we now?” Huang Long pondered. To find fragments of the World Tree, they couldn’t just wander around aimlessly. “Let’s head to the Ruins Continent first!” the World Tree replied. “The Ruins Continent?!” Huang Long was surprised and then said, “I already searched the Ruins Continent once back then.” Indeed, Huang Long had searched the Ruins Continent once before; otherwise, the World Tree would not have grown to this extent by now. “You searched it once?” The World Tree laughed. “When I perished back then, I was in the center of the universe. There are definitely more fragments of the World Tree hidden in the Ruins Continent. Since you didn’t achieve sainthood back then, you probably didn’t enter the core area of the Ruins Continent, right?” Huang Long was stunned for a moment before nodding. Back then, his strength was weak—he hadn’t even reached ten eras—and he indeed hadn’t entered the core area of the Ruins Continent. “Alright, let’s head to the Ruins Continent first!” Huang Long nodded.

At that moment, Huang Long summoned the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, emerged from the Crimson Fire Demon Prison, then shattered the crystal barrier of the Crimson Fire Great World and headed straight for the Ruins Continent. However, at this time, intense vibrations were heard within the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron. With a sweep of his divine consciousness, Huang Long saw Xuan Sheng wielding the Heavenly Rotation Divine Sword and striking relentlessly. “Huang Long, one day, I will also seal you—seal you forever!” “I’ll make your life worse than death. If you’re sensible, let me out now!” Xuan Sheng screamed frantically. Huang Long sneered, activating the Hunyuan Sacred Power within him; the light of the Sacred Cauldron’s grand array surged, and the vibrations ceased. “Seal you forever? Let you out?” Huang Long said coldly, “Before long, I’ll make you experience what it means for life to be worse than death!” As long as he could find more fragments of the World Tree, restore its strength to the Hunyuan He Dao realm, he could draw upon the primal essence of the supreme realm warriors and absorb it continuously! Others might not be able to do it, but the World Tree could! Who is the World Tree? It was the ruler of the Heavenly Dao back in the day—the universe itself originated from it! By then, Xuan Sheng and Qing Cang, sealed within the Void Barrier, would completely become Huang Long’s nourishment! Although the restored World Tree might not be able to kill the two of them, it could drain them until they became mere shells—people with sacred bodies but no primal essence! Huang Long transformed into a streak of light, constantly moving through the universe’s spacetime. Half a day later, he arrived at the Ruins Continent. Just as before, the continent was filled with endless fierce beasts and demons, constant battles, and numerous powerful figures, their formidable auras faintly visible. After stopping for a while, Huang Long shattered the energy barrier of the Ruins Continent and rushed in. Once inside, he didn’t linger and headed straight for the core area.
