Chapter 0157: Punishment for Treason

Watching the Dragon Emperor, the Pope, and the others express disbelief, Huang Long sneered coldly, “Anything is possible!”
“Strange?”
“You must be wondering if the army behind us received wrong news, or if that Huang Long is an imposter.”
Huang Long pointed out their suspicions.
“They aren’t lying,” Huang Long said calmly.
Not lying? The Dragon Emperor and the Pope were stunned, then their expressions changed. If they weren’t lying, did that mean the Huang Long who was intercepting their army was also real?
Two Huang Longs!
How could this be possible? Could it be…?
Then the Dragon Emperor and the Pope exchanged glances, considering one possibility before dismissing it.
Upon reaching the Divine Realm and entering the divine plane, one could be granted a divine avatar. This was something they knew; they had thought of this possibility before.
But Huang Long was clearly a peak warrior of the Sacred Realm—how could he have a divine avatar? Yet how could this situation be explained?
“Your Holiness, be careful! This Huang Long is clearly trying to intimidate us with deceit!” Cardinal Cole blurted out.
He guessed what the Dragon Emperor and the Pope were thinking. Seeing their confusion, he warned them.
Since Huang Long was at the peak of the Sacred Realm and couldn’t have a divine avatar, there was only one possibility: he was lying.
Cardinal Cole’s warning snapped them out of their daze. The Dragon Emperor and the Pope realized their mistake and shouted, “Huang Long, don’t think you can deceive us with your lies!” With that, they both took to the air and attacked together.
It was the first time the Dragon Emperor and the Pope had fought together. Previously, they had relied on their status and never thought they would need to team up against one person. But now, they couldn’t care less. Killing Huang Long was worth anything.
In an instant, the Dragon Emperor transformed into his dragon form, opening his massive mouth. A terrifying sound wave erupted from it—the Dragon’s Might, a unique skill of the dragon race!
With that roar, the Dragon Emperor channeled all his dragon energy.
“Divine Light Illuminates All!”
His golden scales seemed to come to life, each one emitting a mysterious power that pulsed like a heartbeat. Then, a giant golden pillar shot into the sky and swept toward Huang Long.
Following the Dragon Emperor, Pope Hades also held his Divine Staff, murmuring an obscure spell as his eyes gleamed.
“Divine Light!”

The pope Hades’s papal robes and crown emitted waves of radiant energy, which merged with the power of his divine staff. Waves of light surged toward the Yellow Dragon, cutting through space just as the dragon’s own technique of spatial division did. The strike from the Dragon Emperor and the pope was overwhelming. Meanwhile, the dragon elders and the pope’s saints also intervened, forming a circle to protect one another. At the sight of this combined attack, a glint appeared in the Yellow Dragon’s eyes, followed by a flash between its brows as it summoned the Immortal Pavilion. As soon as the Immortal Pavilion appeared, a powerful force and pressure radiated out, pushing everything within a hundred feet back. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon moved across the surface of the Immortal Pavilion, and a roar even more awe-inspiring than that of the Dragon Emperor came from its mouth, causing the skies above to change. “Divine Dragon Wave!” With a roar, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon spat out a blinding energy wave that took the form of a giant five-clawed dragon, which collided with the Dragon Emperor’s strike. In response to the attack, the Yellow Dragon summoned the Five Directional Flags to protect itself, then formed a spell and launched an attack at the pope. “Heavenly Galaxy!” Suddenly, the sky flashed, and a beam of light emerged, spanning across heaven and earth like a galaxy. At the other end of this galaxy was the Yellow Dragon. Previously, the Yellow Dragon and the pope were only a few hundred feet apart, but now it seemed as if they were separated by vast distances, as if on opposite sides of the universe—this was the pope’s feeling at that moment. The pope’s divine light struck the Heavenly Galaxy, causing it to tremble before being dissolved. Pope Hades was horrified—what kind of law was this? Space? But there was no time for speculation, as the Heavenly Galaxy continued to extend, seemingly intent on absorbing his body and everything around him. In panic, Pope Hades quickly retreated, waving his divine staff. “Wings of Light!” A pair of wings appeared behind him—wings like those of an angel, but made of radiant energy. As the Wings of Light unfolded, Pope Hades darted away, avoiding the attack of the Heavenly Galaxy. The divine staff, the pope’s crown, the papal robes, and the Sacred Pearl in the Yellow Dragon’s hand had originally been a set of divine artifacts, with their combined power being at its strongest. Now that the Sacred Pearl was in the Yellow Dragon’s possession, the combined power of the three divine artifacts was significantly reduced.

As the Pope retreated in shock, a loud roar was heard. Looking over, the Pope saw that even the Dragon Emperor Felix was forced to back away under the force of the five-clawed golden dragon’s energy waves, filled with terror. The yellow dragon, after fighting against the Dragon Emperor and the Pope, gained the upper hand with just one strike. After that strike, its forehead flashed, and the Group of Immortals Pavilion was absorbed into its body. In a flash, it appeared before the dragon clan elders and the Church’s saints. Just as the dragon clan elders and the Church’s saints were about to attack, they suddenly saw the yellow dragon appear before them, showing expressions of fear, which slowed down their movements slightly. “Sunshine Wind!” Seeing this, the yellow dragon sneered inwardly. With a strike of its hands, two circular energy masses as bright as the sun appeared. Strangely, a whirlwind formed on the surface of these two energy masses. The whirlwind, like a blade, instantly struck one of the dragon clan elders and an angel from the Church. In an instant, both the dragon clan elder and the Church angel fell from the sky without even letting out a scream. A large circular hole appeared in their chests. After that strike, the yellow dragon ignored the terrified expressions of the dragon clan and the Church members and disappeared in a flash. By the time the Dragon Emperor and the Pope, who had been forced back earlier, advanced to attack, the yellow dragon was already gone. It had disappeared again! “Yellow Dragon, you coward! If you have the guts, stop hiding and come out!” Seeing two more deaths, the Dragon Emperor Felix was both shocked and enraged as he roared. But thinking of the strike from the five-clawed golden dragon earlier, he couldn’t help but tremble. When did this yellow dragon capture such a five-clawed golden dragon as a magical pet? Moreover, this five-clawed golden dragon was different from their dragon clan’s royal golden dragons, even possessing greater dragon power. And what was that triangular tower-like thing? Finally, why did that five-clawed golden dragon fly toward the yellow dragon’s forehead along with the triangular tower before disappearing? Everything was incomprehensible to the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor was like this, the Pope was like this, and everyone in the dragon clan and the Church was the same. Of course, the Dragon Emperor and the others thought that the five-clawed golden dragon was the yellow dragon’s magical pet. If they had known it was actually the spirit born from the evolution of a magical weapon refined by the yellow dragon, they wouldn’t know what to think. Could a weapon also give birth to a spirit? They had never heard of such a thing. Not even a supreme magical weapon could do that. Silence reigned. After the yellow dragon disappeared for a long time, the Dragon Emperor and the Pope stared at the dragon clan elders and Church angels lying on the ground, neither speaking, and the others dared not speak either. Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness arose in the hearts of the Dragon Emperor and the Pope. Three days—three days! The Six Sacred Realms!

They watched helplessly as their subordinates were killed by the Yellow Dragon and then left, utterly powerless!
Having dominated the Hengyuan Continent for over a thousand, even two thousand years, they were now forced into this situation by a fifteen-year-old brat.
At this moment, besides anger, they felt despair, a sigh of a hero in decline.
“Let’s go!” Suddenly, the Dragon Emperor raised his head, his eyes gleaming: “Yellow Dragon, I refuse to believe that I, the Dragon Emperor, can’t deal with you.” With that, he soared forward and continued on his way.
The dragon elders, like frightened birds, followed suit.
The Red-Clothed Archpriest Kele and others looked at Pope Haides.
“Go!” Pope Haides also gave a firm order and took to the air.
But not long after the Dragon Emperor and the pope left, news came from the rear army that was unacceptable—the Yellow Dragon had taken away 100,000 soldiers and declared that he would take 100,000 each day from now on!
According to the Ten Holy Realms leading the rear army, the Yellow Dragon used a giant umbrella to take away those 100,000 soldiers.
100,000 soldiers taken away with just one giant umbrella!
Could there really be two Yellow Dragons?!
Shocked and enraged, the Dragon Emperor and the pope grew even angrier.
100,000 soldiers!
The over one million soldiers who had come were all elite troops from the dragon race and the Church, yet 100,000 of them disappeared in an instant!
If this continued, wouldn’t all of them be gone in just over ten days?
Yellow Dragon, you’re ruthless!
The Dragon Emperor’s eyes burned with hatred.
At this point, he also began to regret forming an alliance with such a demon as the Yellow Dragon for the sake of the Dragon Language Empire’s crown prince and princess.
“Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, perhaps… perhaps we should retreat,” one of the dragon elders said hesitantly, trembling, not daring to look at the Dragon Emperor.
“What? Retreat?!” The Dragon Emperor punched the elder aside, roaring in fury. He then glanced around, and all the dragon elders bowed their heads in fear.
Retreat? Put bluntly, it meant fleeing!
If they fled and word got out, how would the various forces on the Hengyuan Continent, hundreds of billions of people, view the dragon race?
“Who dares to flee? Treat them as traitors!” the Dragon Emperor roared.
The fate of traitors was extremely cruel, worse than death! The dragon elders were terrified.
Naturally, the pope also used fear to intimidate the people of the Church.
Inside the Immortal Pavilion, the Yellow Dragon sneered. He had been worried that the dragon race and the Church would flee, but it seemed he no longer needed to worry about that—at least for now.
Otherwise, if the dragon race and the Church’s saints scattered and fled, it would be difficult for the Yellow Dragon to eliminate them all.
By the third day, news of the battle spread rapidly.

On the third day, news of the battle spread, and the Hengyuan Continent became even more lively compared to the previous two days.
