Chapter 0492: The Five Elements Divine Religion

“Born from the Divine Mountain of Geng Jin!” Indeed! Huang Long thought to himself. Earlier, when he heard Antuo mention the Five Elements Divine Mountain, he had guessed that this gold and silver ball must be related to it. Now, he finally had confirmation.
If so, then does that mean the Five Elements Divine Mountain was formed from the five claws of the Chaos Divine Dragon?!
Although Huang Long couldn’t be 100% sure yet, he was already 90% certain.
“The Five Elements Divine Mountain is at the center of the Five Continents,” Huang Long murmured, then glanced toward the center of the Red Flame Continent.
“Lord, do you intend to go to the Five Elements Divine Mountain? Actually, even if you don’t go, the Five Elements Divine Religion will send their messengers to find you,” Antuo said.
“The Five Elements Divine Religion?” Huang Long looked at Antuo.
“Yes, Lord. The Five Elements Divine Mountain is under the control of the Five Elements Divine Religion,” Antuo explained in detail.
Thanks to Antuo’s explanation, Huang Long finally gained a clearer understanding of the Five Continents.
Over countless billions of years, countless godly warriors had been drawn into this Five Elements realm by black hole vortices. Over time, these godly warriors established the Five Elements Divine Religion based on the five elements.
Now, the Five Continents, including the Five Elements Divine Mountain, are under the control of the Five Elements Divine Religion.
Every godly warrior drawn in by the black holes must join the Five Elements Divine Religion and become one of its disciples, under the control of its leader.
“Join the Five Elements Divine Religion? What if I refuse?” Huang Long frowned. Although Antuo didn’t say it outright, Huang Long could tell it was mandatory. Refusal would likely lead to a terrible outcome.
“If you refuse, you’ll be hunted by the Five Elements Divine Religion—hunted throughout this Five Elements realm,” Antuo shook his head. “There’s only one outcome: death!”
The Five Continents are under the dominion of the Five Elements Divine Religion. Here, there’s no supreme god—only the ultimate leader of the religion!
The leader? Huang Long sneered inwardly.
In the Pangu World, only the Immortal Saints could hold such a position.
“What’s the strength of the leader of the Five Elements Divine Religion?” Huang Long asked.
Antuo shook his head and replied, “I really don’t know.” He was telling the truth—such things were beyond even his knowledge as a minor divine realm being.
After that, Huang Long asked Antuo more questions about the Five Elements Divine Religion. But generally, Antuo didn’t know the answers, as the religion remained a legend among the people of the Five Continents.

Anto knew about the Five Elements Divine Sect because he was the founder of the Kingdom of Nan. He might not know about other divine realms in that kingdom. From time to time, the Five Elements Divine Sect would send divine messengers to inspect the various countries on the Five Elements Continent, and only the highest rulers of each country had the chance to meet these messengers. This was also why Anto had mistaken the Yellow Dragon for a divine messenger of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

The Yellow Dragon fell into deep thought. If he wanted to learn more about the Five Elements Divine Mountain in detail, he would have to go there. He glanced at Anto standing there, had an idea, and in a flash, a large sword appeared in his hand. Then he said, “This is a lower-grade divine artifact.”

Anto took the divine artifact from the Yellow Dragon’s hand, his hands trembling as he stared at the Yellow Dragon in disbelief. Although he was the highest ruler of the Kingdom of Nan, divine artifacts had always been just a distant dream for him. He had once imagined obtaining one through some miracle, but never thought it would happen under such circumstances. After being stunned, Anto became extremely excited and repeatedly thanked the Yellow Dragon. For him, getting the longed-for divine artifact by answering just a few questions was simply a huge gain!

However, for the Yellow Dragon, this lower-grade divine artifact was one he had painstakingly dug out from among a pile of high-grade immortal artifacts in a corner of the Five Hells Divine Cauldron. He couldn’t even remember when he had acquired this large sword. As Anto kept thanking him, the Yellow Dragon vanished into thin air and headed toward the Red Flame Divine Mountain at the center of the Red Flame Continent.

Although the Red Flame Continent wasn’t as large as the Hell Continent, it was still quite vast. Even with rapid travel, it took the Yellow Dragon over a month to reach the Red Flame Divine Mountain at its center. “This is the Red Flame Divine Mountain!” The Yellow Dragon stood in midair, gazing at the towering mountain that reached into the clouds. This mountain must be tens of thousands of feet high—it wasn’t composed of hundreds or thousands of peaks but was a single, massive mountain spanning nearly ten thousand miles in circumference. From afar, glowing clusters of pale red light could be seen flowing across its surface. Even before approaching, the Yellow Dragon could sense an abundant flow of fire-type spiritual energy.

“Stop! Who dares to invade the Red Flame Divine Mountain?!” Just as the Yellow Dragon was about to fly inside the mountain, a shout rang out. Immediately afterward, a group of divine-level warriors dressed in crimson clothes flew over and surrounded the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon realized these were the guards of the Five Elements Divine Sect. He could tell that aside from the team leader, who was an upper-tier god, the rest were only mid-tier gods.

“Which deity sent you as an envoy?” The captain stared at Huang Long in confusion, unable to discern his identity.
An envoy? Huang Long realized the other party mistook him for an envoy sent by another deity.
However, instead of explaining, Huang Long simply stretched out his hand, sealing off those dozens of Red Flame divine-level warriors and the surrounding space, then began searching their souls using soul-searching techniques.
After a while, Huang Long stopped and knocked those Red Flame divine-level warriors unconscious.
Next, with a swirl, Huang Long’s appearance changed—his clothes turned into those of a Red Flame divine-level warrior, with the ancient characters for “Red Flame” printed below his left chest.
Along the way, Huang Long encountered many more Red Flame divine-level warriors. But they merely glanced at him briefly before flying away, ignoring him.
Unimpeded, Huang Long descended and finally arrived at the Red Flame Divine Mountain.
The mountain was filled with streams of heat, and only divine-level warriors could move about there safely.
After landing, Huang Long headed toward the mountainside, where the main city of the Red Flame Divine Mountain lay.
From the memories of the previous Red Flame guard captain, Huang Long learned that the position of the sect leader of the Red Flame Divine Religion was not fixed; those with sufficient strength could compete for it through trials.
Huang Long’s decision to become the sect leader was out of necessity, as the guard captain’s memories also indicated that only the sect leader could enter the core of the Red Flame Divine Mountain to train. Huang Long guessed that the core was where the five elements’ energies, formed from the Chaos Divine Dragon’s claws, converged. Moreover, the closer one got to the core, the harder the mountain became, and Huang Long’s earthearthDun technique technique couldn’t penetrate it.
Although the sect leader position could be won through trials, it wasn’t easy. First, Huang Long had to win a hundred matches on the arena set up in the main city. After that, he would challenge the city’s ruler. If he defeated him, he would then have to defeat several elders of the sect before finally challenging the sect leader.
The practice of competing for the position of sect leader through trials naturally piqued the interest of countless powerful warriors drawn in by the black hole. There were many challengers, but over billions of years, only one had succeeded—over a hundred billion years ago—namely the current sect leader, Fuzhi, an unparalleled warrior who was nearly at the peak of perfection!

Winning a hundred matches in a row isn’t difficult—reaching the peak of level eight is usually enough. But defeating the lord of Red Flame Capital City is more challenging, as the lord himself is quite powerful, at the peak of level eight, just short of becoming an unparalleled warrior. As for defeating the four elders of the Red Flame Divine Sect one by one, that’s even harder!
These four elders are all unparalleled warriors, each with their own unique secret techniques.
For Huang Long, winning a hundred matches in a row and defeating the lord of Red Flame Capital City aren’t problems. Although those four elders are also unparalleled warriors with great strength, Huang Long can defeat them one by one as well. But it’s uncertain whether he can take on the sect leader, Fuzhi—unless he uses the Chaos Bell.
After entering Red Flame Capital City, Huang Long headed toward the arena there.
Although winning a hundred matches in a row and challenging the lord and the four elders allows one to compete for the position of sect leader, the arena isn’t necessarily used only for such competitions. For example, winning ten matches in a row could earn one a top-grade divine artifact or other rewards. The more matches won, the richer the rewards—to Huang Long’s surprise, there were even rewards in the form of beautiful women!
Standing before the arena, Huang Long couldn’t help but recall his time in the Netherworld, when he competed with Li Yifeng at the arena in Taihua City on the Nia Continent. Back then, Li Yifeng jokingly called it a “hunting ground for beauties.”
“Could Fuzhi be from Taihua City on the Nia Continent in the Netherworld?” Huang Long shook his head inwardly. Otherwise, why would the reward system he set be so similar to that of Taihua City?
At that moment, a scream was heard, followed by cheers from around the arena.
Huang Long looked up and saw a middle-aged man with red hair defeating his opponent on the arena.
“Jia Ai won this match!”
“This is the ninth match—our strong Jia Ai has won nine in a row!”
“Could our strong Jia Ai become the one to win ten matches in a row this month?”
“Then, who dares to challenge next?!”
The arena host delivered an inspiring speech, stirring the emotions of the audience.
Huang Long was moved and walked toward the registration area for the matches. When he arrived, tens of thousands of divine-level warriors around the arena all turned their attention to him.
With a calm expression, Huang Long stepped up to the registration area and said, “Huang Long—challenging!”
