Chapter 0470: The Reappearance of the Misty Nightmare

“It was born in the deepest depths of Hell, just like the Soul-Stone!” Huang Long frowned. He hadn’t expected such trouble, and what was worse, this Rebirth Stone was even rarer than the Soul-Stone.
“Lord Buji possesses the Soul-Stone, but as for this Rebirth Stone, no one has ever been able to find it,” said Verli in a somewhat depressed voice.
If no one has found it, what does that mean? Or perhaps the Rebirth Stone only exists in legends, and its actual existence is uncertain.
Huang Long also fell silent upon hearing this. For a moment, the atmosphere became dull.
“Second brother, the fact that we haven’t found it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Let’s go check—it might be there,” said Huang Liang from the side.
“Hmph, I think Third Brother just wants to go to Hell himself,” Huang Yi glared at Huang Liang.
Huang Liang protested, “I didn’t say that.”
Huang Yi replied, “Then what were you saying? You’ve been talking about those Hell Beasts these past few months, saying you really want to go to Hell and have some fun killing them.” She then pointed at the younger members of the Huang family. “Well, you all heard that, right?”
The younger members of the Huang family looked troubled. How did this girl turn the blame onto them? They didn’t know whether to say something or not.
Huang Wei laughed and said, “I heard it too.”
Huang Liang’s face paled as he stammered, “Well, I… I didn’t say that. I don’t remember.” He even chuckled.
Huang Long raised his hand to silence everyone, then said to Verli, the King of the Death Spirit Realm, “Actually, besides the Rebirth Stone, another divine stone called the Scorching Sun Stone will also work.”
“Scorching Sun Stone!” Verli shook her head. “It does exist, but it’s an energy divine stone from the realm of the Light Supreme God, and it’s in the hands of Light Supreme God Elvis.”
“An energy divine stone?” Huang Long and the others were puzzled.
At that moment, Brad stepped forward to explain, “Every Supreme God Realm and Main God Realm gives birth to one energy divine stone. This is the only one of its kind. Possessing this energy divine stone means becoming the ruler of that Supreme God Realm or Main God Realm. Thus, Light Supreme God Elvis, who controls the energy divine stone, is the ruler of the Light God Realm.”
“Ruler?” Huang Liang asked, “So what’s the difference between this ruler and other main gods?”

“The Supreme Divine Plane and the Primary Divine Plane—thirteen Energy Divine Stones, with thirteen rulers, one for each. Since those who possess the Divine Stones of the Supreme Divine Plane or the Primary Divine Plane can better harness their energy, the ruler of their respective plane is stronger than the other primary gods,” said Villey, the King of the Death Spirit Realm.

“That means in the Light Divine Plane, Elvis is stronger than the other eight Light Primary Gods,” Huang Long said gravely.

Villey nodded. “So, this Scorching Sun Stone…” She stopped speaking, leaving the implication clear.

The Reincarnation Stone might still be found, but borrowing it from these Light Rulers was simply impossible.

At that moment, Villey gave Huang Long a strange look. Rumors said Huang Long had an “ambiguous” relationship with the Water Primary God Susan, and even the Light Ruler Elvis was jealous, ordering his family to investigate Huang Long.

Huang Long—a mere high-ranking god—having an “ambiguous” relationship with the Primary God Susan? Before, Villey would have dismissed such rumors as jokes, but now?

As Villey thought about Huang Long and the Primary God Susan, her gaze became somewhat “ambiguous” as well. Seeing this, Huang Liang nudged Huang Wei.

Huang Wei turned his head, and Huang Liang gestured with his mouth. Confused, Huang Wei followed Huang Liang’s gaze and saw Villey staring at Huang Long, then he understood.

More people noticed this. When Villey realized it, she saw the expressions around her and understood what they were thinking. Her face turned red for the first time as she said, “We need to discuss the Great Spirit Realm Formation further. Let’s return to King Mountain first.” With that, she vanished as if fleeing.

Huang Long shook his head and smiled, followed by the others.

Before leaving, Villey ordered the soul messengers from the nearby dead cities to come and guard the area, as well as investigate the disappearance of the previous soul messengers.

A few months later, everyone returned to King Mountain.

But as soon as they arrived, Biquier, who had rushed out of the King’s Palace to welcome Villey, exclaimed in panic, “Your Majesty, something terrible has happened—the Mist Fiends have returned!”

“What?! The Mist Fiends have returned?!” Villey’s expression changed.

Huang Long and the others were also shocked.

“What’s going on?!” Villey’s face darkened.

“News came from Linyun Dead City—there are countless Mist Fiends!” Biquier hurriedly explained.

“A large amount?! How much?!” Verily’s eyes sparkled.
“It’s likely no less than ten billion!” Bichir said.
Ten billion?! Not only Verily but also Bog and the others exchanged stunned looks.
“Have you found out how these Mist Demons appeared? How long has it been?!” Verily asked in a grave tone.
“As for how they appeared, we haven’t figured it out yet. They started showing up not long after you went to the Death Swamp. I’ve already sent the Soul Senders from the Dead City around Linyun to eliminate these Mist Demons, but… the effect is minimal.” By the end, Bichir’s voice grew weaker.
Minimal effect meant there was nothing they could do against these Mist Demons!
“Come with me to take a look.” After a while, Verily said to Bichir. Then, she and Bichir left the Kingdom Mountain and headed toward the Dead City of Linyun.
“Young Master, what should we do now?” Brad asked.
“Let’s go and take a look too,” Huang Long said. Since the Mist Demons had reappeared in the Death Spirit Realm, Huang Long naturally couldn’t ignore them.
So, Huang Long and the others followed Verily and Bichir to the Dead City of Linyun.
The Dead City of Linyun wasn’t far from the Kingdom Mountain. A day later, they arrived there.
Upon arriving, they saw clusters of black mist covering the sky and surroundings of the city, creating an atmosphere like darkness.
“Mist Demons!” Huang Long’s eyes flashed with cold light.
Indeed, those clusters of black mist were the Mist Demons!
These demons could inhabit human bodies or survive independently in the air.
When Huang Long and the others arrived, the black Mist Demons surged toward them, howling and lunging at them.
Before Huang Long could act, Verily saw the approaching Mist Demons and sneered. She soared into the air, unleashing her divine power of death. The Mist Demons stiffened upon encountering her power and fell to the ground.
It was the “Stiffening” trait of the Death Rules!
As the Mist Demons collapsed, Verily struck again. With a wave of her hands, wherever her divine power of death passed, everything on the ground began to rot and disintegrate, including those black Mist Demons.
It was the “Rotting” trait of the Death Rules!
As a supreme god of death at the pinnacle of mastery, Verily’s use of these Death Rule traits was so powerful that even Huang Long was deeply astonished.
After a while, the black mist that had surrounded the Dead City of Linyun thinned out significantly, eventually revealing a large gap. Huang Long and the others then entered the city.

“Paying my respects to the King of Worlds and the Grand Administrator!” The soul messengers guarding Lingyun Death City were overjoyed to see Verly and Biquir arrive, and they quickly stepped forward to bow respectfully.
“Get up!” Verly waved her hand.
“Thank you, King of Worlds!” The soul messengers stood up respectfully in response.
Then, Daili, the lord of Lingyun Death City clad in heavy armor, stepped forward and said, “With the King of Worlds and the Grand Administrator here, we are saved now.”
The squad leaders and captains of Lingyun Death City’s soul messengers also stepped forward to speak.
“Alright, Daili, tell me about the situation here,” Verly said, raising her hand to silence everyone.
“Yes, King of Worlds!” Daili replied respectfully before quickly recounting what had happened with the Mist Fiends.
As Daili spoke, the squad leaders of Lingyun Death City’s soul messengers also noticed Huang Long and the others. Seeing their Grand Administrator Biquir treat Huang Long politely, they guessed at his identity.
After Daili finished speaking, he stood aside, listening attentively to Verly’s orders.
Verly remained silent, deep in thought, before looking up at the sky above Lingyun Death City. The huge gap she had created earlier had already been filled back up by the Mist Fiends, leaving the entire sky over Lingyun Death City dark.
If not for the city’s defensive array, Lingyun City would likely be in chaos by now.
“Come here and pay your respects to Lord Huang Long,” Verly said after a while, ordering Daili and the others to go meet him.
Lord Huang Long! Daili and the others, who had been guessing Huang Long’s identity, were shocked. Realizing what needed to be done, they quickly said, “Lord Huang Long!” They had naturally heard of him.
After Daili and the others paid their respects, Verly took them to the city hall of Lingyun City.
In the city hall, Verly looked at Huang Long and said, “This is all too coincidental!”
Indeed, first there were problems with the spiritual realm array in the Death Swamp, then Huang Long arrived with Huang Yi to have the mutated Mist Fiends in his body eliminated. The spiritual realm array still hadn’t been repaired, and now Mist Fiends had appeared again in Lingyun Death City!
Back then, the Mist Fiends first appeared in Lingyun Death City before spreading throughout the entire Death Spiritual Realm.
Huang Long nodded solemnly. He knew very well that this wasn’t just a coincidence.
“Do you say that the Mist Fiends in your fourth sister’s body were planted by Elder Runing Bishop?” Verly asked, her eyes gleaming.

Huang Long said, “Apart from Bishop, no one else seems possible.” After Huang Long saved the members of the Huang family, they stayed with him the whole time, so it couldn’t have been done by anyone else later on. Before Bishop, it was even less possible. Sidde from the Lansi tribe, who was already dead, was also a suspect, but compared to Sidde, Bishop was the most suspicious.
“Reporting to Lord Realm King, something has happened again in the Death Swamp!” At that moment, Biquier, who was standing by, changed expression upon receiving news from his subordinates and stood up.
