Chapter 0553: Mori Appears

“Fatty Lion!”
“Old Lion!”
When Bog and the others saw Fatty Lion in peril, they cried out in alarm. Especially Gusta’s expression changed drastically as he struck his opponent frantically, trying to drive them away so he could rescue Fatty Lion.
However, Gusta’s opponent was the Dominator of Wood. Though not as powerful as Elvis, the Dominator of Light, he was still extremely strong. With Gusta struggling to save himself, how could he rescue Fatty Lion?
At that moment, Fatty Lion roared, his eyes filled with determination. He channeled the power of the Immortal Spirit, soared into the air, and launched a full-force attack at Elvis.
A brilliant sword glow cut through the sky, accompanied by swirling gusts of wind.
Thud, thud, thud!
Muffled impacts echoed continuously, and the sword glow suddenly flared, catching everyone’s attention.
Yet, despite Fatty Lion’s powerful strike, it was no match for Elvis’s ultimate technique. In the blink of an eye, the sixteen-winged angel, empowered by the Light God, destroyed Fatty Lion’s attacking sword glow. After a brief pause, it charged forward once more at Fatty Lion.
Fatty Lion was too late to attack again. In despair, he watched as the sixteen-winged angel rushed toward him. Even from tens of thousands of miles away, the brilliant sword glow sent a fierce sword energy rushing toward him. Soon, he was completely overwhelmed by Elvis’s attacking sword waves.
Fatty Lion was flung backward.
As he flew backward, Elvis’s sword waves continued to propel him millions of miles away, like a giant wave crashing against a piece of driftwood, carrying him to an extremely distant place.
“Old Lion!”
Gusta and the others screamed in anguish as they saw Fatty Lion struck by Elvis’s fatal blow and flung millions of miles away.
Among them, Gusta and Fatty Lion had the closest bond. In the Hengyuan Realm, Fatty Lion had been Gusta’s battle pet. Later, in the Death Valley, he was rescued by the Yellow Dragon from the hands of the Light Church. Since then, Gusta and Fatty Lion had followed the Yellow Dragon through countless hardships over hundreds of thousands of years. Thus, upon seeing Fatty Lion struck, Gusta’s eyes turned red. Ignoring the attack from the Dominator of Wood, he soared into the air and launched a frantic attack at Elvis.
Gusta swung his sword with murderous intent.
Although Elvis’s strike had hit Fatty Lion, he too was pushed backward by the force of Fatty Lion’s sword waves. At that moment, Gusta’s furious strike reached Elvis’s front.
Elvis was shocked and, without hesitation, drew his Supreme Divine Sword and struck with a palm.

With a deafening crash, Gusta and Elvis collided in a fierce clash. At that very moment, the attack from the Wood Element Lord reached Gusta from behind. Two dull sounds rang out as Gusta’s body trembled violently; he was sent flying by the Wood Element Lord’s strike. The glow on his divine robes flickered before dimming. “Gusta!” Bog and the others cried out again upon seeing Gusta hit by the Wood Element Lord, their eyes red with fury as they launched frantic attacks at their opponent. After knocking aside countless mountains, Fat Lion and Gusta crashed down thousands of miles away. The ground shook, and green debris flew into the air. Although Elvis managed to block Gusta’s sudden, violent attack in a hurry, he was also in a dire state. After stabilizing himself, his divine armor was damaged, and his face turned pale—clearly injured as well. Elvis channeled his divine power to recover slightly, filled with rage at Gusta’s unexpected attack. Had it not been for the difference in their strength, he might have been severely injured or even killed by that strike. Elvis flashed forward, appearing above Fat Lion and Gusta. With a cold smirk, he raised his supreme divine weapon. Although Fat Lion and Gusta had taken direct hits but weren’t dead, they lay on the ground, breathing faintly, their eyes fixed angrily on him. Seeing their furious gazes, Elvis laughed instead of getting angry. “I originally planned to end you both with one strike, but now, I’ve changed my mind.” With a cold sneer, he swung his sword at Fat Lion’s limbs. Fat Lion and Gusta, severely injured and unable to dodge, could only watch helplessly as the deadly sword light descended upon them. “You dare, Birdman!” Bog roared from the other side, flashing forward to attack Elvis. But Bog’s opponent was the Wind Element Lord, Corid, so how could he rescue Fat Lion and the others? The Wind Element’s divine power formed a storm, instantly blocking Bog. Bog retreated, frustrated and angry. The same was true for Bradd and the others. Just as the sword light was about to sever Fat Lion and the others, suddenly, a golden light rushed from the distant sky like a galaxy, blocking the sword light. Elvis was unprepared for this sudden change. Then, the Yellow Dragon’s voice echoed from afar: “Elvis, we meet again!” By the time the voice faded, the Yellow Dragon’s figure already appeared before Elvis.

Beside Huang Long were Susan, Li Yifeng, and the members of the Huang family.
“Huang Long!” Upon seeing Huang Long appear, not only Elvis but also Barbara, who was fighting against Brad and the others, changed expressions. They had already been worried that Huang Long would arrive, and yet he had indeed come—so quickly!
Elvis couldn’t hide his shock when he saw Huang Long.
The battle in the Plane of the Light God had intensified his desire to kill Huang Long while also filling him with fear. Yes, fear. In that battlefield, Huang Long’s strength was indeed astonishing, but it hadn’t yet reached a level that made him fearful. After all, at that time, Huang Long’s strength was only comparable to that of an ordinary God Lord.
But the battle in the Plane of the Light God was different.
Huang Long’s strength was now no weaker than his own, and even with the use of that ancient bell, he was able to fight against their eight rulers without falling behind—instead, he held the upper hand!
Huang Long went over to Fat Lion and Gusta, examining their injuries with growing coldness in his eyes.
Fat Lion and Gusta were overjoyed to see Huang Long arrive. They opened their mouths, speaking in hoarse voices, “Master, you… you’ve come!”
Huang Long signaled them not to speak. He spread his arms, and a golden light enveloped Fat Lion and Gusta. After a while, their injuries gradually stabilized.
Soon after, they stood up and thanked Huang Long, who told them to rise.
By then, due to the arrival of Huang Long and his group, both sides had stopped fighting and were now facing each other in the air.
“Huang Long, what do you want?” Elvis spoke first.
“What do you think?” Huang Long replied coldly.
“Huang Long, don’t go too far. Pushing us to the brink won’t benefit anyone!” Barbara interjected, her face angry.
Although Elvis and Barbara didn’t say it outright, everyone on Huang Long’s side could tell that they wanted to reconcile.
Reconcile? The coldness in Huang Long’s eyes deepened as he sneered inwardly.
“What if we reconcile? Our greatest enemy now is Mori. There’s no need to keep killing each other!” Seeing that Huang Long remained silent, Colid, the Wind Lord, spoke up next.
After the battle in the Plane of the Light God, this was the decision reached by the eight rulers: when encountering Huang Long, they would “compromise” with him unless necessary, then “unite” to deal with Mori, cutting off all past grudges.
Of course, when they entered the Tianchen Temple this time, they didn’t expect to encounter Bog and the others. Seeing that Huang Long was not there and Bog and the others were “weak,” they changed their plans—intending to kill Bog and the others first to weaken Huang Long’s side, and then deal with Huang Long if possible.

They just didn’t expect that while Bog and the others hadn’t resolved things, Huang Long had appeared instead.
“Reconciliation? Hey, why didn’t you ask for reconciliation when the master wasn’t here just now? Only now that the master has arrived do you want to reconcile?” Bog said, his voice calm yet laced with cold murderous intent.
“If it weren’t for the master arriving in time, we would have already done it!” the fat lion snapped, staring intently at Elvis, wishing he could tear him to pieces right then!
Elvis and the others looked grim. As rulers at the pinnacle of power, had they ever had to grovel and ask for peace like this?! And when had anyone ever shouted at them like that in front of them?!
“Huang Long, is this your decision?!” Barbara suppressed her anger as she looked at Huang Long. In her view, although Huang Long’s strength was astonishing and his forces were stronger than theirs, if a real battle broke out, Huang Long’s side wouldn’t fare well either—resulting in mutual destruction.
After all, their side had eight great rulers!
Although they were at a disadvantage in the battle against the Light God’s realm, that didn’t mean much.
Huang Long glanced coldly at Barbara, swept his eyes over Elvis and the others, and slowly said, “It’s my decision!”
As soon as Huang Long spoke, Elvis suddenly lunged forward, wielding his supreme divine weapon to strike Huang Long with a fierce sword attack. Immediately after, Barbara and the others also attacked Huang Long together.
Huang Long smirked as he saw the eight of them attacking suddenly. He leaped into the air, summoned the Chaos Bell with a thought, and engaged in battle with them.
At the same time, Bog and the others were also fighting against the opponent’s god.
The situation was similar to that in the Light God’s realm. Although Elvis and his eight companions had powerful attacks and were roughly on par with Huang Long in terms of strength, Huang Long possessed the Chaos Bell, which combined offense and defense, putting him in an invincible position. With his current strength and the Chaos Bell in use, Elvis and the others couldn’t break through its defenses.
Huang Long remained invincible, while each attack from the Chaos Bell forced Elvis and his companions to retreat in disarray. They could only resist by attacking together, so it wasn’t long before they fell behind again.
However, though Elvis and his companions were in trouble, it wouldn’t be easy for Huang Long to kill them all at once. The same went for Bog and the others, who, through fierce combat, forced the opponent’s god to retreat step by step.
“Hehe, quite lively!” Just as Elvis and the others were in peril, a voice rang out. Everyone was startled as space rippled, and Mori appeared before them.
