Chapter 0494: What Do You Want to Do?
Huang Long defeated that peak Level 7 Gold Element Supreme God and then continued the competition. However, this time, no one stepped onto the arena to challenge him right away.
The peak Level 7 Gold Element Supreme God was easily defeated by Huang Long, whose strength made them hesitate to take action.
The gods surrounding the arena watched Huang Long with awe, whispering among themselves. They were all guessing his true strength—late Level 8? Peak Level 8?!
“I say Lord Huang Long might be an unparalleled warrior!”
Of course, some speculated that he could even be an unparalleled warrior. Though hard to believe, his unpredictable strength made such a possibility plausible.
“Unparalleled warrior? Impossible! On the Five Elements Continent, who doesn’t know the unparalleled warriors?” Others argued. After all, there were only so many of them, all countable, yet they had never heard of Huang Long’s name.
Those who had guessed he was an unparalleled warrior were speechless but kept talking, stammering, “Maybe Lord Huang Long was just drawn into the Five Elements Continent by a black hole.” It was just an excuse they made up on the spot, but it stirred thoughts in the middle-aged man with purple hair.
Drawn into the Five Elements Continent by a black hole?!
That wasn’t impossible.
No one challenged Huang Long on the arena, so he stood there calmly, eyes closed.
If no one challenged him within a day, it meant he had won. In other words, in this competition, if you could stay on the arena for ten days, you could become a ten-time consecutive champion. By extension, a hundred days would earn you a hundred consecutive titles.
Although the middle-aged man with purple hair was full of fighting spirit, he also didn’t step onto the arena to challenge him.
And so, a day passed.
Another day went by without anyone challenging Huang Long. With the previous two victories, he now had three in a row. The next day, Huang Long continued.
Though no one challenged him, news of his battles spread throughout the Capital City of Red Flame. By the next day, the number of god-level warriors surrounding the arena had more than doubled.
Day three, day four—until day seven, when Huang Long had won nine matches and the number of god-level warriors around the arena had reached hundreds of thousands—someone at Level 8 finally stepped forward to challenge him.
This Level 8 warrior had rushed from his cultivation cave on Red Flame Divine Mountain after hearing about Huang Long’s previous two battles. His purpose for coming to the capital city was simple: to fight Huang Long!
So, after arriving in the capital city, he immediately signed up and stepped onto the arena.
“This is the Master of Guangqing Cave from Guangqing Cave Palace!”
“Wow, it really is the Master of Guangqing Cave!”
Many godly-level powerhouses around the arena recognized the person who had stepped onto the stage to challenge them and began to exclaim and discuss in awe.
On the Red Flame Divine Mountain, some high-ranking divine powerhouses did not reside in the main city; they could create their own caves on the mountain to cultivate. Of course, only high-ranking deities had such rights.
The Master of Guangqing Cave from Guangqing Cave Palace was also quite renowned on the Red Flame Divine Mountain—he was a powerhouse in the late eighth level.
“I’ve heard about your victory over Jia Ai,” the Master of Guangqing Cave said after stepping forward, his eyes fixed intently on Huang Long. Jia Ai was the descendant of a friend he knew, so his reason for challenging Huang Long was not only to fight him but also to avenge Jia Ai.
After being defeated by Huang Long, Jia Ai was still unconscious.
Huang Long looked at his opponent calmly, remaining silent. He could tell that the Master of Guangqing Cave was in the late eighth level—his strength was indeed formidable, far surpassing the previous two opponents. Yet for him, defeating this master would take just a few minutes.
Seeing Huang Long standing there so calmly without saying a word, the Master of Guangqing Cave felt a hint of annoyance. Even the city lord of Red Flame Main City would be polite to him. If it weren’t for concern over Huang Long’s strength, he would have attacked long ago.
The Master of Guangqing Cave said nothing further. Instead, he channeled his divine power, causing his entire body to glow with light. Red flames surged around him, and gusts of energy swept through the area. Although the arena was protected by array barriers, many godly-level powerhouses still had to step back.
Looking at Huang Long, who still stood there, the Master of Guangqing Cave’s eyes flashed with coldness. He spun his hands, and the flames around him rotated under his control, eventually transforming into a fire dragon before the astonished eyes of everyone present.
To master a certain set of laws or rules, one must reach a certain level of comprehension so that their divine power can become more refined during attacks.
For example, the Master of Guangqing Cave could transform his fire-based divine power into a fire dragon—something impossible without a deep understanding of fire-related laws.
Then, with a sudden slap, the hundred-zhang-long fire dragon rushed toward Huang Long, emitting a terrifying roar that shook souls.
After the fire dragon, the Master of Guangqing Cave leaped into the air, his divine sword appearing in his hand, and he struck at Huang Long with a swift blow.
The fire dragon flared, and the sword’s light was sharp!
Huang Long stood there, watching the opponent’s Fire Dragon, and sneered inwardly. A Fire Dragon? Although he mastered all laws and rules, due to practicing the “Water-Fire Dual Dragon Art,” Huang Long’s strongest attacks were still those using water and fire elements.
Huang Long activated the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art,” and the Water-Fire Dual Dragons rose into the air, roaring as they charged straight at the opponent’s Fire Dragon.
With a loud roar, under the assault of the Water-Fire Dual Dragons, the seemingly powerful Fire Dragon of the Guangqing Cave Master was weakened, yet the Water-Fire Dual Dragons continued to advance with unrelenting force.
As for the fierce sword beams sent by the Guangqing Cave Master at Huang Long, when they reached him, Huang Long raised his right hand and swept them away as if brushing aside a fallen leaf. The sword beams fell to the ground like leaves. To the astonishment of all present, those sword beams made no sound upon hitting the ground, and the surrounding area remained unaffected.
Faced with the Water-Fire Dual Dragons still charging despite his Fire Dragon being scattered, the Guangqing Cave Master was shocked. He clenched his divine sword tightly and swung it downward at the Water-Fire Dual Dragons!
“Clang! Clang! Clang!” Sharp sounds rang out continuously.
The Guangqing Cave Master widened his eyes. When his full-force strike struck the Water-Fire Dual Dragons, it was as if it hit a divine stone, sparking bursts of flame.
“It’s not even hurt?!” The Water-Fire Dual Dragons only paused briefly before continuing to charge.
The gods around were stunned.
These Water-Fire Dual Dragons were like living monsters of water and fire, seemingly possessed of life.
This was different from the Fire Dragon created by the Guangqing Cave Master’s earlier fire elemental power. That Fire Dragon only had spirituality, and although spirituality and life seemed similar, the difference was enormous.
Thus, the Guangqing Cave Master kept dodging, changing his form countless times before the Water-Fire Dual Dragons finally disappeared.
After stopping, he stood there, staring at the calm Huang Long, his face turning pale and red alternately, his breathing uneven, and his gaze filled with fear.
After this battle, despite attacking first, Huang Long had forced him into such a desperate situation, proving that Huang Long’s strength far surpassed his own.
“Huang Long, take another strike from me!” The Guangqing Cave Master’s expression gradually stabilized. He soared into the air, his eyes gleaming as he gripped his divine sword tightly. Then, he quickly drew a half-circle with his hands in the air, and a burst of fire elemental power erupted from the spinning sword.
As this fire-based divine power spun outward, it formed a semicircle. Waves of scorching heat surged toward the Yellow Dragon, along with a powerful sucking force—similar to that of a black hole, carrying an aura of devourment. Yet its strength was countless times weaker than that of a black hole’s sucking force.
The Yellow Dragon showed a hint of surprise in its eyes before calming down. When the fire-based divine power launched by the Master of Guangqing Cave approached it, stars appeared around the Yellow Dragon, with a black hole vortex at their center, devouring the fire-based divine power one after another.
“Star Devouring Technique!”
The Master of Guangqing Cave and the gods around him grew tense.
At that moment, the Yellow Dragon moved—flash of light, and it vanished from its original spot. When it reappeared, it was already in front of the Master of Guangqing Cave.
The Master of Guangqing Cave was shocked. He frantically swung his divine sword across the sky toward the Yellow Dragon. But to his confusion, the Yellow Dragon did not dodge!
Clang! The Master of Guangqing Cave’s sword indeed struck the Yellow Dragon. Just like when it hit the Water and Fire Dragons before, flames erupted. His hands trembled violently, nearly causing him to lose control of his sword. When he regained his senses, everything went dark before his eyes. A figure flashed by—it was the Yellow Dragon. Then, a severe pain surged from his chest throughout his body, and he could no longer control himself, crashing back to the ground with a dull thud.
The Master of Guangqing Cave raised his head and saw a tall figure standing in the sky. Darkness enveloped him, and he lost consciousness.
At the very peak of the Crimson Flame Divine Mountain, a massive temple floated, with flames flowing gently across its surface. This was the Crimson Flame Temple of the Crimson Flame Divine Sect.
Inside the main hall of the temple, a stern-looking middle-aged man clad in a fire-cloud battle robe sat there. His left arm was bare, and strangely, it was more than twice as thick as his right arm, with red veins resembling winding green snakes.
This middle-aged man was the leader of the Crimson Flame Divine Sect—Hogan.
“Leader, this Yellow Dragon’s strength is likely on par with ours!” said Amo, one of the four elders of the Crimson Flame Divine Sect, standing below the temple.
“Who would have thought that another peerless warrior has appeared on our Crimson Flame Divine Mountain?! The Yellow Dragon? It can’t belong to the other four major divine sects. Could it be that it was just absorbed by a black hole?” Hogan’s loud voice rang out from the hall.
“It should be; otherwise we wouldn’t have heard about it before,” said another elder, Ward. “But what’s the purpose of this Yellow Dragon Arena competition?”
