Chapter 0589: Failed to Obtain a Batch of Primary Divine Artifacts?

Leave Leipeng Mountain now? Huang Long glanced at Vitya and said calmly, “Why?”
Vitya’s pretty face showed urgency as she said, “Brother Huang Long, after the Artifact Forging Competition ends and you leave Leipeng Mountain, our father and the others will—” She stopped here.
“They’ll kill me, right?” Huang Long asked with a smile.
Vitya was stunned. Seeing Huang Long’s indifferent expression, she grew even more anxious. “Brother Huang Long, you’d better leave now. Anyway, you won’t be able to win first place!”
“Oh, how do you know I can’t win first place?” Huang Long asked calmly.
Vitya’s face grew even more anxious. She raised her delicate hands and shook them frantically. “Brother Huang Long, I—I didn’t mean that. What I meant was…”
Huang Long nodded and interrupted, “I understand!”
He naturally understood what Vitya meant. As a mere minor ruler, he couldn’t forge supreme divine artifacts and thus couldn’t win first place. It was better to leave Leipeng Mountain early.
Leave Leipeng Mountain? Huang Long shook his head in secret with a smile.
If he had been worried about such things, he wouldn’t have come in the first place.
Tianlong Mountain, Fengjin Mountain, and the Lanbo family would all come to Leipeng Mountain—how could Huang Long not know? But he had come to this Artifact Forging Competition not for that so-called first place, nor for the so-called Holy King’s Divine Treasure.
What was this Holy King’s Divine Treasure? In Huang Long’s eyes, it was nothing but trash with a single attack method and limited power.
Seeing that Huang Long remained unmoved, Vitya didn’t know what to do. She was so anxious that tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, making her look pitiable.
Huang Long murmured, “Miss Vitya, I’ll be fine. You don’t need to worry.”
Vitya was stunned. She stared at Huang Long, their eyes meeting. Then she lowered her face and stepped back slightly.
“Don’t worry. Since I dared to come to Leipeng Mountain, I anticipated this day. So, you don’t need to worry about me. When the competition ends, I’ll find a way to leave,” Huang Long said.
Vitya initially didn’t believe him, but seeing his expression and thinking it over, she finally nodded. “Alright then, Brother Huang Long, take care. I’m going back now!”
Huang Long nodded.
Vitya stepped out of the hall, stopped, and glanced back at Huang Long. Her beautiful eyes held reluctance and a deeply moving affection.
Huang Long watched as Vitya left, thinking of Susan.
The night was silent, with few stars and a bright moon.
The purple lightning crackling around Leipeng Mountain emitted an eerie glow under the moonlight.
Inside a courtyard on the mountain’s slope, the Silver Fox Mountain God King, Livia, sat there lazily, listening to the reports from the elders of Silver Fox Mountain below.

“My Lord Divine King, do we really have to let this Yellow Dragon join our Silver Fox Mountain? This Yellow Dragon is just a minor overlord,” said one of the elders of Silver Fox Mountain, her voice delicate and charming.
“Mm,” Riviera responded with a grunt from her nostrils, looking at her own delicate hands and smiling seductively. “The Yellow Dragon can kill Vidri from Tianlong Mountain, so he does have some skills. His ability to craft higher-tier divine artifacts in fifteen minutes is quite useful; it can serve our Silver Fox Mountain.”
“However, I think this Yellow Dragon is arrogant. I’m afraid he won’t join our Silver Fox Mountain!” another elder said cautiously.
Riviera laughed nonchalantly. “Arrogant? No matter how arrogant he is, he’s still just a minor overlord. It’s a great fortune for him that our Silver Fox Mountain is willing to take him in.”
“Besides, since Tianlong Mountain and Fengjin Mountain both want to kill him, he has no choice but to join our Silver Fox Mountain to save his life. And with so many beautiful women here, how could he refuse such an opportunity?”
The next day, the sun shone brightly, with clouds stretching for miles.
The middle part of Leipeng Mountain became even more bustling.
Among the thirty finalists, the Yellow Dragon was the only overlord-level warrior; the rest were supreme gods. Standing alone in the competition area, he stood out prominently.
“I didn’t expect this Yellow Dragon to still participate in this final round. He didn’t follow the young lady’s advice and leave!” sneered one of the elders from Tianlong Mountain.
Vitya went to persuade the Yellow Dragon to leave, but naturally, she couldn’t escape the attention of the people from Tianlong Mountain.
“People’s desires are insatiable—even we desire the Holy King’s treasures. How much more so a mere minor overlord? But does he really think he can win first place?” another elder from Tianlong Mountain said mockingly.
“Hehe, once Elder Kailer wins first place, Tianlong Mountain will celebrate grandly!”
“Of course!”
The crowd chatted among themselves.
The Yellow Dragon remained standing there, his expression calm as before.
When Heibei, the Divine King of Leipeng Mountain, saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up and explained the rules of the final round. There were no restrictions on materials or time, and the competition would be judged by the rank of the divine artifacts.
This rule clearly favored the supreme god warriors.
As everyone knew, the Yellow Dragon could only craft higher-tier divine artifacts. While those were decent, they were nothing compared to supreme divine artifacts.
Heibei’s actions clearly showed that he didn’t want a mere minor overlord like the Yellow Dragon to win first place.
Everyone turned to look at the Yellow Dragon, their eyes filled with mockery.
“Start!” Heibei’s voice rang out, and instantly, powerful forces of the supreme gods surged around the Yellow Dragon.

However, unlike before, Huang Long sat there motionless, even closing his eyes to rest.
“Haha, this Huang Long is really funny—taking a break with his eyes closed during the artifact refinement competition!”
“He has some self-awareness; realizing he has no chance of winning, he simply gave up. But he’s quite bold, persisting in participating just to save face. If it were me, I’d have withdrawn early—wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing in such a competition?!”
Chatter filled the air.
On the judging platform, the six members of Heibei watched the competition below with relaxed expressions.
Leo and Opot looked at the eyes-closed Huang Long with cold smiles.
This time, without a time limit, the artifact refinement process took a long time. But time wasn’t a concern for them—time was the least of their worries.
Day after day.
Keller, Wifley, Mori, and the others kept waving their hands, summoning mysterious symbols that entered the cauldrons floating in midair.
In the air, twenty-nine cauldrons emitted faint glows of various colors—light blue, light yellow, light green, and light red.
These glows were related to each person’s supreme divine power attribute.
For example, Mori, whose power was darkness, caused black mist to surround his cauldron.
After what seemed like an eternity, suddenly, with a hum, one of the cauldrons emitted a clear sound. Everyone turned their attention to it.
A flash of light appeared at the mouth of the cauldron, followed by the emergence of a heavy axe before everyone’s eyes.
As the axe appeared, strange phenomena occurred in the sky—storms formed, and faint roars of ancient beasts could be heard.
“A supreme divine artifact—success!” Everyone on Tianlong Mountain was overjoyed. It was Keller from Tianlong Mountain who had crafted this supreme divine artifact.
On the judging platform, Opot smiled. He had confidence in Keller. At a glance, he could tell this axe was no ordinary supreme divine artifact—it was likely at the peak of the intermediate level. Unless something unexpected happened, Tianlong Mountain would surely win first place.
Even the supreme gods themselves might not be able to create supreme divine artifacts of the higher levels.
Everyone on Tianlong Mountain appeared relieved.
While Keller had created a supreme divine artifact, Huang Long still sat there with his eyes closed. Though his eyes were shut, he was fully aware of his surroundings through his all-seeing eyes.
After Keller finished, he sneered at the distant Huang Long before sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes to rest as well.

With Keller’s success, it wasn’t long before another person succeeded as well, creating another supreme artifact. However, it seemed to be of a lower rank than what Keller had created earlier. This person was Langxi, the ancestor of the Sugue family, the foremost family in the Kale Continent.

The people on Tianlong Mountain smiled even wider upon seeing this. Gradually, more and more people succeeded in their attempts. Out of the twenty-nine, over a dozen had already succeeded. Wifley and Mori also succeeded—Wifley created a long sword of a rank comparable to Keller’s, while Mori’s was slightly inferior.

As for Huang Long, everyone had long forgotten his existence. Just after Mori succeeded, suddenly, Huang Long opened his eyes. Two sharp beams of light flashed, and the space trembled with a humming sound. Everyone was stunned and turned to look. At that moment, the Five Pits Divine Cauldron flew out from Huang Long’s fingers, hovering in the air before growing larger and larger.

“Haha! Does this Huang Long want to make a final dramatic entrance?!” one of the elders on Tianlong Mountain sneered loudly upon seeing Huang Long’s actions. Laughter filled Tianlong Mountain.

Huang Long ignored them, controlling the Five Pits Divine Cauldron as ores kept flying into it. Watching pile after pile of ores enter the cauldron, the laughter on Tianlong Mountain grew even louder.

“Haha! With so many ore materials, does this kid plan to create another batch of main artifacts?” the elder from Tianlong Mountain laughed.

On the podium, Hibere, Livia, Yidehai, and Muli shook their heads with smiles, while Leo and Opot wore cold expressions. After a while, Huang Long stopped adding ore materials. Two beams of light shot from his eyes, which instantly transformed into two fire dragons. The two fire dragons wrapped around the Five Pits Divine Cauldron, spinning continuously as immense dragon power radiated outward. Behind Huang Long, water and fire dragons also rose into the sky.

“What’s this?!” The laughter on Tianlong Mountain faded as shock appeared on their faces. On the podium, Hibere, Livia, and the others also showed sharp glints in their eyes. Keller, Wifley, Mori, and the rest were equally astonished.

As time passed, bursts of brilliant light continued to emanate from the Five Pits Divine Cauldron. More and more light appeared, eventually covering the entire sky above Leipeng Mountain! Huang Long’s power continued to rise. The elders from Tianlong Mountain, Fengjin Mountain, and others grew increasingly shocked—Huang Long’s power exerted a heavy pressure on them!

Could it be?! The expressions of the elders from Tianlong Mountain and Fengjin Mountain changed.
