Chapter 0408: Tomorrow, The First Battle

Twelve Divine Avatars!
Apart from Brad, who had already seen the Yellow Dragon use its twelve divine avatars, everyone present was stunned.
The entire competition site was silent, with the surrounding mountains holding their breath.
Marshall, standing atop the mountain peak, trembled violently—this was a shock from deep within his heart and soul. In his life, the only one who had ever earned Marshall’s respect, aside from the Supreme God, was Kennedy, because Kennedy possessed six divine avatars!
This was the main reason Marshall admired Kennedy so much. After billions of years of hard cultivation, Marshall had only achieved perfection in the Wood element related to the Supreme God and also developed five more divine avatars: Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, and Earth.
The number of divine avatars a god-tier warrior could cultivate within a span of ages determined how many such avatars they would possess in the future. Even after billions of years, Marshall had to admit this truth passed down in this divine realm.
Previously, when Saxton displayed his six divine avatars, it had already filled Marshall with envy, shock, and even jealousy. But now, seeing the Yellow Dragon’s twelve divine avatars, his mind buzzed, his heart was filled with awe, and he no longer felt jealous.
Then, the gods remembered the legend of the twelve divine avatars that had spread widely in the Sea of Wind and Thunder over eight hundred years ago. Could it be?
On the Platform of Forgetting, Herbert, the shocked head of the Terrence family, turned to Jared beside him and asked, “Is he that person?!”
He was referring to that god-tier warrior who once appeared in the Sea of Wind and Thunder, possessing twelve divine avatars!
The appearance of someone with twelve divine avatars in this world was already astonishing—how could there be two?
The leaders of the six major families all looked at Jared. Although they believed that the person in question must be Huang Hai, especially those from the Runing family like Kennedy, since Huang Hai had been in the Sea of Wind and Thunder at that time.
Everything pointed to Huang Hai being that person!
Yet, what the leaders of the six major families could not accept was Jared’s answer: “No!”
“No?!” Herbert and the others stared at Jared in disbelief.
“Are you sure? Did you mistake him?” Herbert still hesitated, but was such a possibility even possible? Although eight hundred years had passed, if Huang Hai really was that god-tier warrior, how could Jared not recognize him?
However, Jared was also puzzled—could it be that he really had made a mistake?

A roar of shock filled the platform, while on the competition stage, the stunned Saxon struggled to shift his gaze from the Yellow Dragon’s twelve divine avatars and slowly said, “You… the twelve divine avatars!” Combined with Saxon’s expression, it sounded somewhat foolish, but the other gods around him, just like Saxon, were also staring intently at the Yellow Dragon.

The Yellow Dragon remained calm. “You’d better give up.” Those words were what Saxon had said to the Yellow Dragon with confidence after revealing his six divine avatars earlier. Now, the Yellow Dragon was returning the favor.

Saxon’s face twisted in displeasure, but his eyes were filled with fear. A high-level Soul Master, a high-level Mage—now, the Yellow Dragon had twelve divine avatars too! He simply couldn’t understand why heaven would concentrate all these talents in one person. Could there be any greater talent than this?! Give up?! Resentment arose in Saxon’s heart.

But what else could he do?!

Saxon’s expression shifted rapidly. Suddenly, filled with fear, his entire aura surged as he shouted, “Huang Hai, I don’t believe your divine avatars can be as strong as your main body!” With that, he dashed forward, his main body and the six divine avatars charging at the Yellow Dragon. At the same time, a brilliant blue light radiated from his entire body, spreading like an ocean of blue, making it seem as though the world between heaven and earth had been painted in that color from afar.

Yet, just as Saxon launched himself at the Yellow Dragon, thirteen golden lights flashed from above, sending his main body and the six divine avatars flying back.

The gods saw a flash of golden light on the competition stage and then Saxon flying back, severely injured.

“What fast speed, what powerful attacks!” That thought flashed through the minds of the gods.

Time seemed to slow down.

On the competition stage, it took a long time before Saxon managed to crawl to his feet, trembling. By then, the six divine avatars had returned to his main body, and all traces of his confidence from before the match were gone from his face.

Below the stage, Anlise watched anxiously, hoping silently that her elder brother was safe. Yet, she, like the other gods, couldn’t believe that Huang Hai from the Luning family could defeat her elder brother.

Since the first match where the Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon appeared, she had started paying attention to Huang Hai. Throughout the matches, just like the other gods, each of Huang Hai’s battles had shocked her. But even before the Yellow Dragon summoned its twelve avatars, she was still certain her elder brother would win, because she knew his strength. But now?!

“Big brother, please don’t get hurt!” Anlise worried, glancing at Chester and Fat Francis among the Luning family members watching below. Her face showed hesitation, but in the end, she didn’t go over.
Over the past half month, she had kept thinking about what Fei De had said, but she hadn’t had the chance to ask Chester clearly. She also needed to prepare for the competition. Although she had made it into the top 300, she lost in the preliminary rounds to Nayahiber from the Terence family.
“I can only wait until the competition is over to find an opportunity to ask Chester,” Anlise thought to herself.
Just then, a roar echoed from the competition stage. Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Saxton, who was standing unsteadily, raised his head and roared. His aura surged once again, transforming him into a giant lion covered in blue patterns!
This was the avatar of the Beikar family’s members—the Blue Light Lion!
Saxton slowly rose high into the air, blue light flowing across his body. His growing aura created storms around the competition stage. Soon, hurricanes formed, howling like knives as they swept across the ground.
The Yellow Dragon on the stage remained motionless. No matter how much Saxton’s aura grew, the Yellow Dragon had already retracted its divine avatar, its expression calm.
Roar! When Saxton’s aura reached its peak, his entire body trembled, and the surrounding air dispersed. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a fierce blue energy column at the Yellow Dragon. This wasn’t a normal attack—it was the innate skill of the Beikar family’s Blue Light Lion!
The Yellow Dragon could sense that this blue energy column carried a soul-suppressing force, and the entire space seemed to slow down.
Soul suppression, combined with spatial distortion!
Yet, the Yellow Dragon remained calm. To it, Saxton was merely “struggling in its death throes.”
Without hesitation, it soared into the air, forming a magic seal with its hands. In an instant, countless bolts of lightning filled the sky, pouring down like rain and engulfing Saxton.
Godly Thunder of Water, Godly Thunder of Fire, Godly Thunder of Wood, Godly Thunder of Earth, Godly Thunder of Metal!
The divine thunder of the five elements continued to roar!
To the gods watching, the entire competition stage was nothing but endless flashes of lightning from the five elements.
“Big brother!” Seeing what was happening on the stage, Anlise cried out in concern.
After a while, the clouds in the sky cleared, the divine thunder stopped, and the flashes of lightning disappeared. Gradually, Saxton’s figure reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

Saxton was seen lying on the ground, back in human form, emitting weak breaths. Seeing this, Anlise finally felt relieved. It was clear that although Saxton had been severely injured by the Yellow Dragon, he was not in life-threatening danger.

In the competition arena, although killing the opponent was prohibited, in past contests, members of each of the Six Great Families of Yanji had died as a result of their opponents’ “mistaken” killings.

On the Forgetfulness Platform, Woodlow also appeared relieved. However, both he and the gods could tell that the Yellow Dragon had shown mercy; otherwise, Saxton might have already died at its hands.

Soon, Saxton was taken off the platform by a member of the Beikal Family. The official overseeing the match also announced the final result. With the end of their duel, today’s competitions were concluded.

The gods dispersed, filled with shock and excitement. Below, Augus of the Terrence Family, along with the other members of his family, returned to their family mountain. But before leaving, they glanced at the Yellow Dragon, their eyes gleaming. Today’s match had truly exceeded their expectations—more precisely, the Yellow Dragon’s strength had.

“This Huang Hai is not only a Soul Master and a Formation Mage but also possesses twelve divine avatars?!” Augus could no longer remain calm. Initially, he had stayed to watch the battle between the Yellow Dragon and Saxton without much interest, but now?

After returning to the family mountain, Augus was summoned to the central hall by Hobert and the elders.

“I never expected Huang Hai to have twelve divine avatars!” Hobert was complex in his feelings—mostly jealousy and envy. It was a pity that Huang Hai wasn’t a member of their Terrence Family!

“Augus, tomorrow is your battle against Huang Hai. Although we all have confidence in you, Huang Hai always surprises us in every match. Be careful!” Hobert said solemnly.

Yet, from his tone, it seemed he still believed that their family’s member, Augus, would win after seeing today’s battle between the Yellow Dragon and Saxton?!

“Patriarch, rest assured. Tomorrow, I will definitely win first place!” Augus vowed confidently.

Although Huang Hai’s strength was surprising, he trusted his own abilities even more.

Tomorrow would be the first match of these Forgetfulness Land competitions—the battle between him and Huang Hai!

Hobert nodded in satisfaction.

“Patriarch, no matter who this Huang Hai is, we can’t let him keep growing like this!” Jared suddenly spoke up.

Hobert frowned.

“If we let this Yellow Sea grow unchecked, it might become another Kennedy,” Jared said. “Fighting and casualties are inevitable; everyone makes mistakes. Tomorrow, Augus can do it.” With that, Jared swung his hand and slashed downward.
