Chapter 0237: Capture Him, Don’t Kill Him

The expression on Val, the Lord of the Red Flame Domain, was uncertain. If King of Realms Ost said so, it meant he had made up his mind to take these outsiders from another domain away—there was no room for negotiation or delay.

Yet, he was puzzled. Although King of Realms Ost usually hated outsiders from other domains and would typically capture them to imprison in Dark Stars, this wasn’t absolute. In the past, many outsiders had managed to leave safely. With the Red Flame Domain’s involvement now, King of Realms Ost should ignore these outsiders. And since he had come in person, could it be that these people hid some secret?

With suspicion on his face, Val glanced at Huang Long and the others in the distance.

In the distance, Long Yi and the others grew anxious and slowly approached Huang Long.

“Brother Huang Long, should we leave now?” Long Yi asked in a low, urgent voice.

Sea God Apton and the others also watched Huang Long. Clearly, they realized the situation was wrong. Although they couldn’t hear the conversation between King of Realms Ost and Val due to the domain he had created, judging from their expressions, it seemed they were trapped like fish on a plate.

Huang Long hadn’t expected King of Realms Ost to arrive, causing things to change. Frowning, he wondered what was going on.

Though King of Realms Ost had established a domain, preventing Long Yi and the others from hearing their conversation, Huang Long could hear everything clearly. But why did King of Realms Ost insist on taking them away? What about them could attract the King of Sky Clouds? Could he know about the Blue Whale Temple? Had he come for the key to the Blue Whale Temple? Or for that precious item that could restore a damaged divine status? If so, Huang Long had underestimated the allure of the Blue Whale Temple.

“No need,” Huang Long said calmly, his voice steady, as he looked at Long Yi and the others’ anxious faces.

His reply stunned them. They exchanged glances. Though they didn’t understand why Huang Long wanted to stay in this dangerous place, out of trust in him, they ultimately stayed put silently.

Huang Long watched the two conversing in midair, a cold smile forming in his heart.

“Good!” At that moment, Val’s voice came from the sky. After weighing the pros and cons, Val finally chose to back down.

Taking these people away wouldn’t cause any loss to the Red Flame Domain, but it would earn King of Realms Ost a favor. One favor from the King of Realms Ost was more valuable than a mid-tier divine artifact.

King of Realms Ost seemed to have anticipated this outcome. With a calm smile, he said, “Then, thank you.”

Val, the Lord of the Red Flame Domain, did not speak again nor leave immediately. Instead, he and the powerful warriors from the Red Flame Domain retreated to the side to watch.
King of Worlds Ostert paid no attention. With a glance, the people from the King’s Palace rushed forward and surrounded Huang Long and the others once more.
Huang Long and his companions’ expressions changed drastically, but it was now impossible to leave. They clung tightly to Huang Long, bracing themselves fully.
King of Worlds Ostert looked down at Huang Long and the others from above, finally fixing his gaze on Huang Long with an indifferent expression.
“Stop resisting needlessly. Even if you escape Red Flame Star, you can’t escape Tianyun,” Ostert said calmly.
Huang Long sneered, “Is that so?”
Seeing Huang Long’s fearless attitude, Ostert frowned. He really couldn’t think of anything else he might rely on. Since the Lord of the Red Flame Domain had spoken and stopped interfering, it was likely he wouldn’t dare go against the King of Worlds.
On the side of the King’s Palace, including himself, there were eleven Divine Realms and two Lower Gods, while the opponent had only five Divine Realms.
“Do you really think you can escape from Brady of the Crystal Domain Palace just as easily as you thought you could escape from us?” Lei Zhe, standing beside the King of Worlds, spoke coldly, with thunderclouds forming in his eyes as his fighting spirit flared.
This time, Huang Long did not speak. Instead, he gave Lei Zhe an indifferent look before fixing his gaze on Ostert. Suddenly, the space around Huang Long trembled violently, with ripples of spatial distortion appearing.
After absorbing the Black Demon Divine Body again, Huang Long not only reached the later stage of the Tribulation Phase but also saw a significant increase in the strength of his physical body. The spatial tremors were caused by the power of his body just now.
Everyone around him changed expressions.
Especially Lei Zhe, who had been angry at Huang Long’s contempt and about to attack, now stopped in his tracks.
The powerful warriors from the Red Flame Domain Palace also lit up with excitement. Val, the Lord of the Red Flame Domain, stared at Huang Long, lost in thought.
“I didn’t expect your physical body to have been refined to such a degree,” Ostert said, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes, though his expression remained unchanged.
With the power of Huang Long’s body causing such spatial distortions, his physical strength was already greater than that of ordinary god-level warriors who had practiced for thousands of years.
Although he didn’t know how this outsider from another domain had trained, King of Worlds Ostert adjusted his original plans.
“Lei Zhe, capture him—don’t kill him!” Ostert said calmly.
Though the opponent’s physical strength was high, it was still only comparable to that of Divine Realm warriors.

For over a million years, his subordinate Lei Zhe had been a lower-tier god. Even a godly powerhouse with a strong physical body who had cultivated for a thousand or two thousand years would seem as weak as an infant in front of him.
“Yes, Lord World King!” Lei Zhe replied respectfully, then turned to look at Huang Long, gave a cold shout, leaped into the air, and charged at him.
His fists were like thunder, with thunderous roars accompanying them.
Although his opponent was merely a godly powerhouse—and generally, no being in the divine realm could possibly defeat a god-level being—he still did not underestimate him.
Lei Zhe had never underestimated any opponent.
Seeing the opponent rush toward him in an instant, Huang Long’s eyes flashed with cold light. He activated all his magical power, summoning the Five Elements Flags. At the same time, with a gesture of his hands, thunderclouds formed high in the sky.
Godly thunder of Gui water, Bing fire, Yi wood, Wu earth, and Geng metal!
A torrent of the Five Elements Godly Thunder descended like a rainstorm from above, instantly enveloping Lei Zhe under the astonished gazes of World King Oster, the Lord of the Red Flame Realm, and others.
And that wasn’t all. With a thought, Huang Long summoned the Thunder Gathering Vessel, which appeared high in the sky and poured out its contents. Thus, everyone on Red Flame Star witnessed a spectacular sight: a river of thunder rolling down from the sky.
This river of thunder not only enveloped Lei Zhe but also covered all the powerful warriors in the World King’s palace, including World King Oster.
Everything happened too quickly and suddenly. By the time World King Oster reacted, the river of thunder had already rolled down to hundreds of feet above the people in the palace.
Just then, a brilliant light crystal rose into the air. Waves of powerful divine light formed an ocean of divine energy in midair, like an endless sea.
As the river of thunder rolled down, sparks of lightning flew everywhere. The ocean of divine energy trembled, and even the divine entities shook slightly.
The river of thunder from the Thunder Gathering Vessel was halted by this obstruction.
“Are you all idiots? What are you standing there doing?!” Oster, who had been calm before, could no longer maintain his composure and roared in fury.
Only then did the powerful warriors in the World King’s palace regain their senses and attack the giant vessel high in the sky.
Seeing this, Huang Long thought for a moment and turned the Thunder Gathering Vessel into a beam of lightning, drawing it back into his body.
No matter how strong he was now, he couldn’t withstand the combined attacks of all those warriors.
As their attacks missed, Huang Long leaped into the air with a flash.
“Transformation!”
Six Huang Longs appeared in midair.
“Great Annihilation Fist—destroy, destroy, destroy!”

Lei Zhe had also unleashed his divine essence to withstand the attacks of the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder and the Thunder Gathering Vessel, appearing somewhat flustered. Then, a powerful punch force tore through space and rushed forward; the surrounding area seemed to plunge into eternal darkness, filling him with shock.

“Thunder Storm!”

In his horror, Lei Zhe’s divine essence above his head emitted a dazzling light, with intense purple radiance. Storms formed by streaks of purple lightning spread everywhere, destroying everything in their path.

After a god-tier warrior acquired a divine essence, they could comprehend laws of attack and engrave them within their divine essence. During battles, by unleashing their divine essence, they could utilize these laws to attack.

At the same time as Lei Zhe, the roar of King of Realms Ost also rang out. King Ost’s divine essence above his head emitted a brilliant white light, generating divine power as waves of light spread outward.

With this single attack, Huang Long struck at six people at once. Besides Lei Zhe and King Ost, the King of Realms’ palace also had four other god-domain warriors.

Lei Zhe and King Ost were fine, but the other four god-domain warriors in the palace were not so lucky.

After screams, roars, and cries of pain, four figures were seen flying backward.

Even before breaking through to the later stage of the Tribulation, Huang Long was already comparable to four or five god-domain warriors. After breaking through, his strength had multiplied several times compared to when he first arrived in Tianyun. With a sudden attack, he severely injured the four god-domain warriors of the King of Realms’ palace. Of course, this was also due to the carelessness of those warriors.

In their minds, wasn’t it easy for their lord Lei Zhe to handle a single god-domain warrior? How could he still spare time to attack them?

Not only the people in the King of Realms’ palace but also those watching from the Chiyen Domain were all wide-eyed, unable to believe what they saw.

Even Chiyen’s domain lord, Val, looked utterly astonished.

Could a god-domain warrior be this strong?!

A god-tier warrior who attacked two lower-tier gods and severely injured four god-domain warriors—was this still a god-domain warrior?!

But Huang Long’s attacks didn’t stop there. A cold glint appeared in his eyes, followed by a flash of sword light as his Green Rainbow Sword appeared in his hand.

“Sword Dragon Formation!”

The Green Rainbow Sword emitted thousands of sword lights, forming a sword dragon centered around Huang Long. At the same time, Huang Long transformed into a dragon form.

The Sword Dragon let out a roar. Under the terrified gazes of the god-domain and sacred-domain warriors in the King of Realms’ palace, it swerved and charged forward.

The sound of sword strikes rang continuously. The god-domain warriors in the palace were sent flying backward, but the sacred-domain warriors didn’t even have time to scream before being shattered by the sword lights of the Sword Dragon Formation.

Blood rain filled the air, turning the sky red!
