Chapter 0329: The Nyia Continent

“A top-tier flying artifact.” Pei Ji frowned, lost in thought.
Above the temple, the twelve-winged angels, seeing Pei Ji’s expression, dared not speak again.
“From what you said earlier, the mutated beast attacked after a huge mountain of gold struck the island’s restrictions twice?” After a while, Pei Ji raised his head and asked the twelve-winged angel Brade.
“Yes, Young Master Pei Ji,” Brade replied solemnly. “It is said that that huge mountain of gold covered an area of tens of thousands of miles. Later, when everyone rushed back to fight in retaliation, it suddenly disappeared.”
“Tens of thousands of miles!” The twelve-winged angels were all shocked.
This artifact of a high-level beast master? But in the Underworld, who would use such a huge mountain of gold to attack others? Moreover, even godly strong beings aren’t omnipotent—who could lift a mountain of gold that large?!
“It seems this artifact of the high-level beast master might be able to change size!” Pei Ji’s eyes sparkled.
This was the only plausible explanation.
“What?! Change size?!”
“A supreme artifact?!”
Above the temple, the faces of the twelve-winged angels all changed.
The ability to change size was a symbol of a supreme artifact.
Pei Ji pressed his hand down, and the twelve-winged angels controlled their excitement and fell silent.
“It can’t be a supreme artifact; its power goes beyond that.” Pei Ji glanced at everyone. “The opponent’s artifact can change size—this is just my guess. They probably only mastered the method to make it change size.”
Mastered the method to make the artifact change size!
A murmur spread among the angels in the temple.
If this got out in the Underworld, it would surely cause a huge upheaval.
After a while, Pei Ji asked everyone to calm down.
“We must find this high-level beast master. But we can only investigate secretly. Also, nothing about today’s incident must be revealed outside. Anyone who leaks it will be executed as a traitor,” Pei Ji said coldly.
This matter was extremely important and couldn’t be taken lightly.
The twelve-winged angels trembled and replied respectfully.
“What about those sinners on Demon Island?” Pei Ji turned to Brade and continued asking.
Brade hesitated for a moment before saying, “Over a million people escaped. During their escape, more than 300,000 were killed by us.”
“Over a million people.” Pei Ji’s expression darkened. “Exactly how many?!”
Over a million people—although it wouldn’t significantly affect Elvis’s forces in the Underworld, it would still cause a lot of trouble.
Brade reluctantly replied, “It’s over 1.8 million.”
Over 1.8 million—nearly two million.

Pei Ji’s expression turned as dark as water. “How could so many people escape?!”
“Reporting to the young master, that elite beast expeller used a massive golden mountain to launch attacks, breaking many of the island’s restrictions. Coupled with the attacks from over a million mutated primal beast souls, the island was in complete chaos, leaving no time to deal with everything else, which allowed over 1.8 million sinners to escape.”
Above the temple, the air currents grew stagnant.
“How many high-ranking gods are among these 1.8 million sinners?” Pei Ji asked in a grave tone.
“Over 130,000 high-ranking gods,” Brade replied urgently.
Pei Ji felt somewhat relieved. Over a hundred thousand high-ranking gods wasn’t that many. If half of those 1.8 million sinners were high-ranking gods, that would be a real problem.
“Issue orders—search! You must capture these sinners back. I’m giving you a hundred years. If you fail to bring them back, you know the consequences!” Pei Ji’s heavy voice echoed throughout the temple.
“Yes, Young Master Pei Ji!”
…
After leaving Demon Island on top-tier flying immortal artifacts, Huang Long and his companions continued on their way to the Nia Continent.
However, not long after leaving Demon Island, before even departing Gale Mansion, they sensed something different about it. The entire mansion was in a state of panic, with angel army troops patrolling everywhere.
A hundred billion angels filled every corner of Gale Mansion.
Of course, along the way, when encountering these patrolling angel troops, Huang Long didn’t hesitate. He summoned over a million mutated primal beasts to launch several waves of soul attacks.
By the time they left Gale Mansion, the number of angels they had slain must have reached seven or eight million.
When Pei Ji learned of this, he could only imagine how furious he would become.
Among those seven or eight million angels were many ten-winged angels.
Even Elvis’s angel army in the Netherworld, with its hundred billion angels, couldn’t withstand such losses.
Three years later, Huang Long and his companions left Gale Mansion.
During those three years, Huang Long used the seven or eight million angels he had slain as material for refining, along with metal ores he had collected along the way, to craft defensive magic artifacts for over a million mutated primal beasts.
These over a million mutated primal beasts were Huang Long’s reliance. Losing even a hundred of them would be unacceptable to him, so he wanted to arm them thoroughly, from the inside out and top to bottom.
In this way, even if they faced an attack from a group of Level 7 King of the Nether warriors, they would not fear anything.

Of course, during the process of crafting, the Yellow Dragon did not avoid Li Yifeng and the Sea God Apton. Over these three years, watching the Yellow Dragon’s Five Pits Divine Cauldron continuously produce batch after batch of magical artifacts, Li Yifeng and the Sea God Apton were utterly astonished. In those three years, the Yellow Dragon crafted over one million magical artifacts on average—over a thousand per day. Such a rapid crafting speed left Li Yifeng and the Sea God Apton in awe. For three years, the Yellow Dragon crafted non-stop, day and night. Of course, its terrifying speed was also thanks to the assistance of the spirit within the Five Pits Divine Cauldron. Three years later, the Yellow Dragon began to slow down. Yet to its surprise, Li Yifeng became busy again after three years. The reason Li Yifeng was busy was also crafting! During these three years, by observing the Yellow Dragon’s crafting process and asking questions whenever he encountered doubts, Li Yifeng learned a great deal from the Yellow Dragon’s casual answers. So when the Yellow Dragon stopped crafting for three years, Li Yifeng could no longer hold back and started crafting frantically like the Yellow Dragon. Of course, unlike the Yellow Dragon, Li Yifeng crafted divine artifacts, while the Yellow Dragon crafted immortal artifacts. Back in the Cloud Sea, Li Yifeng had obtained a top-grade ninth-tier divine artifact, a cauldron for crafting, which now proved useful. Three years after the Yellow Dragon stopped crafting, it guided the Sea God Apton in his cultivation. With the Yellow Dragon’s guidance and help, the Sea God Apton’s cultivation progress accelerated by leaps and bounds. Of course, being able to meet the Yellow Dragon again and being rescued from Demon Island filled the Sea God Apton with gratitude, yet his feelings were also complex. In the Hengyuan Realm, he had always thought he and the Yellow Dragon were of the same kind. After all, in the mortal realms, those who could break through from the Holy Domain to the Divine Domain surely had reason to be proud. But now he realized how utterly wrong that thought was. Upon meeting again, the Yellow Dragon had reached a height he could never attain. As a high-level beast master, commanding over one million mutated primal beasts, slaying ten-winged angels, and riding a flying divine artifact—just these alone were enough to make him look up to him in admiration. “Lord Yellow Dragon,” said the Sea God Apton as he came out of the cultivation room and saw the Yellow Dragon, speaking with respect. The Yellow Dragon nodded and then said, “This time, we’re going to the Nia Continent. Do you decide to join us?” The Sea God Apton quickly expressed his willingness to follow the Yellow Dragon. He could no longer stay on theCanghai Continent. Although the ElVisis family’s influence in the Netherworld was mainly in Galle Mansion, it had a presence across the entireCanghai Continent.

Now, Huang Long going to the Nia Continent suited his wishes perfectly. Moreover, having the chance to follow him was a rare opportunity—he surely couldn’t miss it.
Huang Long nodded, then turned to gaze at the sky outside and said slowly, “It’s been over eight hundred years.”
In the blink of an eye, it had been over eight hundred years since entering the Netherworld. He wondered how the Huang and Zhao families in the Hengyuan Realm were doing. Throughout these eight hundred years, Huang Long would occasionally think of them. Although he had established them as an invincible force in the Hengyuan Realm before leaving, ensuring they wouldn’t face any problems, he still wondered about the current development of the Four Seas Empire.
“It seems impossible to return to the Hengyuan Realm in these few thousand years,” Huang Long thought to himself.
The Sea God Apton stood behind Huang Long. Seeing him deep in thought, he didn’t dare disturb him.
“Haha, Brother Huang Long! I’ve finally crafted a top-tier divine artifact!” A joyful voice rang out, and soon, Li Yifeng stepped out of the artifact-forging room, holding a sword that was a top-tier divine artifact.
Huang Long turned and, seeing Li Yifeng’s happy expression, couldn’t help but smile. “It’s been over three months—finally, you’re out.”
From the last time he forged an artifact until now, Li Yifeng had spent over three months in the forging room.
Upon hearing Huang Long’s words, Li Yifeng’s originally joyful expression drooped. Indeed, he had created a top-tier divine artifact, but after three months, only one.
At this rate, though not slow compared to others, it was pitiful compared to Huang Long, who could create a thousand magical artifacts in a day.
Although Li Yifeng creating a top-tier divine artifact wasn’t much of a deal to Huang Long, the Sea God Apton beside him was filled with admiration and reverence.
Top-tier divine artifacts were even ordinary high gods unable to forge, yet Li Yifeng, a mid-tier god, had managed to create one.
Looking at the newly forged top-tier divine artifact in his hands, Li Yifeng smiled at Huang Long and said, “Brother Huang Long, stop belittling me. I’m already satisfied that I can create top-tier divine artifacts now.” Then, he said to Apton, “Apton, come—let’s test the power of this top-tier divine artifact together.”
Apton’s admiring expression vanished, replaced by distress. These days, every time Li Yifeng finished forging an artifact, he would ask him to test its power.
And so, as Huang Long and the others continued forging artifacts and practicing, over a decade passed.
More than a decade later, the top-tier flying immortal artifact they were on finally crossed the Canghai Continent and reached the Nia Continent.
The Nia Continent was even larger than the Canghai Continent, with the Luning family’s headquarters located in Luning Mansion in the north of the Nia Continent.
