Chapter 0303: Not Small Contributions
The twelve giant humanoid primal beasts seen by Limo and the others were naturally the Twelve Du Tian Sha Shen Formation, whose defensive capabilities had been activated. Although Huang Long was not present, with Xi He and others in charge of operating it, the formation’s power remained unchanged.
After the Twelve Ancestral Witches appeared, they roared, and twelve waves of primordial, cold, and cruel auras spread everywhere. Even Limo was shocked by the aura emanating from them upon their appearance. “What kind of formation is this? Is that mid-tier god a descendant of some great formation family?!” Limo frowned, thinking to himself.
In the divine realm, there were many great formation families. Among them, the Gerald family, ranked among the top 100 in the Netherworld, was famous throughout the divine realms for its formations. In battles, while strength was important, mastering formations and setting them up in advance could even allow one to defeat opponents stronger by one rank! Such examples were not uncommon in the divine realm.
“Does that Huang Long really have no backing?” Seeing that his eight-winged angels’ Angel Formation failed to break through the enemy’s restrictions and instead amplified their formation’s power, Limo realized that the mid-tier god was not as simple as he had thought.
“He can transform into a dragon form, but he claims he isn’t from the Luning family. From what I know, he isn’t affiliated with any other faction, just…” Xi He hesitated before continuing.
“Transforming into a dragon form—what does that mean?” Limo was surprised but relieved as long as the opponent wasn’t tied to any other faction.
“It’s just that I’ve found out he can craft top-tier flying divine artifacts!” Xi He said.
“What? He can craft top-tier flying divine artifacts?!” Limo was shocked. He looked at Xi He, wondering if he had heard wrong. In the divine realm, those who could craft top-tier flying divine artifacts were all peerless strongmen, controlled by various great families and the Supreme Gods. Now, a mid-tier god could craft such artifacts?
Limo’s eyes burned with excitement. A mid-tier god could craft top-tier flying divine artifacts! What did that mean?! If he could capture this Huang Long and learn the crafting method from him, then presenting it to his family might even allow the Supreme God of Light to promote him to an eight-winged being instantly, or even let him command an army of 100 million angels.
In fact, Xi He’s investigations into Huang Long were limited to the Dragon Mountain Range. If Huang Long went to the Nether King’s Palace in Holy Scripture City, perhaps Limo’s desire to destroy him would vanish forever.
Of course, the news that the Yellow Dragon had broken Marshall’s record had already shocked the Underworld and spread throughout the major cities. But it hadn’t been long, and the news was still limited to those cities. Remote mountains like the Dragon Mountain Range naturally hadn’t heard of such things.
Limo and the others had gone to Terence decades ago on a mission and had just returned when they received Limo’s plea for help, so they came along the way without knowing that Marshall’s record had been broken. Upon learning that the Yellow Dragon could craft top-tier flying artifacts, Limo was overjoyed—only to frown afterward. “If that Yellow Dragon can craft top-tier flying artifacts, does that mean he’s already made one?”
Since Hebrew knew about it, it must be that the Yellow Dragon had indeed crafted one. If so, things would get troublesome. He knew the speed of top-tier flying artifacts—even someone who practiced the laws of light couldn’t match their speed.
“Yes, Lord Limo,” said Hebrew, then hesitated. “But, Lord Limo, that Yellow Dragon isn’t at Taiyi Peak right now.”
“What?! Not at Taiyi Peak?!” Limo’s expression darkened. Hebrew had asked him to come here to eliminate that Yellow Dragon, yet now he said the Yellow Dragon wasn’t at Taiyi Peak. Was he trying to mock him?!
“But, Lord Limo, don’t worry. I’ve found out that the Yellow Dragon and his followers are riding those top-tier flying artifacts to the Ancient Forest to hunt. I also know they’ll return in two years. It’s been almost two years since they left for the Ancient Forest, so they should be back in the next couple of days,” Hebrew hurriedly explained.
Only then did Limo’s expression ease. He guessed Hebrew wouldn’t dare joke around with him.
But if that Yellow Dragon had top-tier flying artifacts, how could he be subdued? Limo wondered inwardly.
“Lord Limo, what if this works: I’ll attack Taiyi Peak from Bingyu Peak, while you hide nearby. When the Yellow Dragon returns, he won’t expect you to be hiding. Once he steps off his top-tier flying artifact, then you can act!” Hebrew proposed his idea.
Limo pondered for a moment before nodding. “That’s good.”
He practiced the laws of light, and once hidden, even ordinary peers of his strength would find it hard to detect him, let alone a mid-tier god. If he struck then, by surprise, he could surely subdue that Yellow Dragon in one go!
So, Limo and the eight eight-winged angels hid, waiting for the Yellow Dragon to appear.
Under Hebrew’s command, the people from Bingyu Peak took turns attacking Taiyi Peak wave after wave, with immense force, seemingly determined not to stop until Taiyi Peak’s defenses were broken. At this moment, the top-grade flying immortal artifact ridden by Huang Long and the others had already reached the edge of the Giant Dragon Mountains; it would only take a few hours to reach Taiyi Peak. “Hmm, Hebrew leading Bingyu Peak to attack?” Inside the flying immortal artifact, Huang Long glanced at the jade talisman sent from Taiyi Peak and sneered. This Hebrew finally couldn’t hold back anymore. But why was Bingyu Peak attacking Taiyi Peak? Did Hebrew have some backing? Huang Long wondered, though nothing was mentioned in the jade talisman. Wary, he activated the magic array at full strength, accelerating the flying artifact forward. Before long, Huang Long and the others returned to Taiyi Peak. Upon approaching Taiyi Peak, Huang Long stowed away the flying artifact, hid it, and activated his Heaven-Seeing Eyes and Heaven-Listening Ears. “Huh?! Are those Ten-Winged or Eight-Winged Angels?!” With his Heaven-Seeing Eyes and Heaven-Listening Ears active, Huang Long spotted Limo and the others hidden high in the sky, thousands of miles away. He hadn’t expected to encounter these birdmen again under such circumstances. Back on the Hengyuan Continent, many birdmen had died at his hands, and that Four-Winged Angel Tobid had even been captured by Huang Long and turned into a magical artifact. “So this must be Hebrew’s backing!” Huang Long sneered inwardly. “Hiding aside, do they plan to strike me by surprise? If so, I’ll just make it happen for them!” Birdmen were a specialty of the Elvis family from the Light Main Pantheon, found across various divine and mortal realms. Huang Long wouldn’t eliminate them all, but if he encountered them and they tried to harm him, then he wouldn’t hold back. “Lord Limo, is what that Hebrew said true? Can that Huang Long really craft top-grade flying immortal artifacts?!” Hidden there, an Eight-Winged Angel couldn’t help but ask via telepathy. He still couldn’t believe that a mid-tier god could create such artifacts—it was simply hard to accept. “I don’t believe it either, but Hebrew wouldn’t dare joke about this with me,” Limo said. He knew Hebrew couldn’t lie to him—not that it was impossible, but that he wouldn’t dare! Would a mere bandit leader dare deceive the captain of an angel army? Hebrew didn’t have the guts.
“If that’s the case, when Lord Limo captures that Yellow Dragon, he can use the Soul Extraction Method to force it to reveal the refinement process and present it to the Lord God. That would be a great achievement, and then Lord Limo must not forget us!” another eight-winged angel joked.
Limo laughed heartily. “Of course.”
Just as those eight-winged angels were about to speak their thanks, suddenly, a dark blue sword glow appeared. Limo was shocked. He tried to act, but it was too late—several screams rang out!
The hidden forms of the three eight-winged angels appeared as they fell from the sky, headfirst.
Not only Limo but also those attacking Taiyi Peak were stunned by this sudden turn of events.
When the dark blue sword glow killed the three eight-winged angels and reappeared, Hebrai was filled with shock and anger. “That mysterious warrior hired by the Yellow Dragon?!”
Two years ago, the army of Bingyu Peak had been assassinated by that mysterious warrior. Now, that terrifying scene of fleeing without a fight appeared before his eyes once again.
Over the past two years, he had been investigating the identity of this mysterious warrior and his connection to the Yellow Dragon, but to no avail. Moreover, he hadn’t appeared again for two years—yet now he was back.
To the people of Bingyu Peak, that dark blue sword glow was also a nightmare!
As the dark blue sword glow appeared, the more than four thousand lower gods who had fled back at that time started screaming in panic, huddling together as if facing a great enemy.
Limo swung his angelic sword, and thousands of faint rays of light shot out, engulfing the dark blue sword glow.
With a clang, a small dark blue sword appeared before everyone.
“Could it be a top-tier eighth-grade divine weapon?! Or even a top-tier ninth-grade one?!” Limo was astonished to see that the small dark blue sword remained unharmed after his strike.
His own angelic sword, though only a top-tier seventh-grade divine weapon, still varied in quality. Only a top-tier eighth-grade divine weapon could remain intact under his attack.
While Limo was puzzled, the small dark blue sword emitted a hum and disappeared under everyone’s gaze.
“Be careful!” Hebrai’s voice rang out at that moment.
The eight-winged angels summoned their defensive divine weapons. In shock, they saw the dark blue sword glow flare with even brighter light.
Two more eight-winged angels fell!
Each strike severed their throats—defensive divine weapons couldn’t protect the throat, as it was the weakest point in a person’s defense.
When the two eight-winged angels fell again, Limo soared into the air, shouting in anger. His entire body glowed with radiant light as the power of the God of Light surged forth, sealing off the surrounding space. At the same time, the angelic sword in his hand emitted a blinding white light, striking violently at the surrounding space and ground. Those white rays continued to penetrate into the space and ground! It was the “penetration” trait of the laws of light. With a powerful strike, Limo aimed to force that person out.
