Chapter 0603: The Reason for Meng Lei’s Death?
In the Chaos Divine Realm, a thousandeon eras ago, there were originally seven supreme gods. But later, after Meng Lei’s death, only six supreme gods remained.
As for the reason behind Meng Lei’s death, the Five Mountains Elders did not know; they only knew that news of his death spread not long after he left. Although the Elders found it strange and disbelieved it, as time passed and Meng Lei never reappeared, everyone gradually accepted the fact that the Divine King Meng Lei had died.
When Meng Lei was alive, he was the former ruler of Tianlong Mountain. After his death, Aopotu took his place.
Now, when Leo mentioned Meng Lei, everyone’s expressions varied. Aside from Aopotu’s overwhelming murderous intent, a flash of killing intent also appeared in Hibere’s eyes. However, unlike Aopotu and Leo’s open hostility, Hibere concealed his murderous intent completely.
The Yellow Dragon sensed Aopotu’s fierce murderous intent, felt a stir in his heart, and looked over, meeting Aopotu’s murderous gaze. Instantly, a fierce energy surged in all directions.
The Yellow Dragon’s mind trembled, but soon the Chaos Bell began to function, restoring his calm expression.
Seeing Aopotu’s murderous intent toward the Yellow Dragon, Leo sneered with glee, delighted by the situation. “Yellow Dragon, this time, I’ll see how you die!”
He knew the exact details of Meng Lei’s death back then, which was why he had revealed earlier that he had stolen the Yellow Dragon’s head, the true body of Meng Lei. Aopotu’s murderous intent toward the Yellow Dragon was entirely within his expectations—it was exactly the outcome he wanted.
Yet just as Leo enjoyed watching Aopotu attack the Yellow Dragon, suddenly, Rivia’s voice rang out: “Leo, so the true body of Meng Lei’s dragon head is with you!”
Leo was stunned and turned around. Immediately, everyone’s eyes turned to him. Aopotu’s murderous intent toward the Yellow Dragon also diminished slightly as he frowned and looked at Leo.
After Meng Lei’s death, his true body had disappeared without a trace. He had searched for billions of years without success, yet now, its dragon head was in Leo’s hands?!
Clearly, Leo had anticipated that someone would ask about this. After being momentarily stunned, he regained his composure and said, “I stumbled upon this true body of Meng Lei’s dragon head in a foreign realm by chance.” He paused, then looked at Rivia and smiled. “Rivia, you can’t think that just because I have Meng Lei’s true body’s dragon head, it means I killed him, right? Meng Lei was extremely powerful—how could I possibly kill him?”
Back then, in the Chaos Divine Realm, Meng Lei was recognized as the strongest among the seven supreme gods.
Although Leo was in second place, he was far weaker compared to Meng Lei. By this standard, it was indeed impossible for Leo to kill Meng Lei.
Rivia was speechless. Though Leo seemed suspicious, what he said was true, and without any evidence, it couldn’t be claimed that Leo was the one who killed Meng Lei.
However, Huang Long, standing nearby, knew clearly that Leo was one of the murderers of Meng Lei. Seeing Leo’s smiling and calm expression, Huang Long sneered inwardly before turning to Keller. Huang Long knew Leo was one of the murderers because he had learned this from Keller using his divine hearing ability on Tianlong Mountain back then.
As for how Keller knew Leo was one of the murderers, Huang Long had no idea.
At that moment, Huang Long glanced at Opot and his eyes sharpened. He had already suspected Opot to be one of the murderers of Meng Lei, and now it seemed his suspicion was correct.
Leo alone couldn’t kill Meng Lei, but if he teamed up with Opot, it might be possible!
Yidehai, Muli, and Heibei all exchanged glances.
“Now everyone knows why Huang Long’s strength has increased so much in just one year, right?!” Leo looked around at everyone before fixing his gaze on Huang Long, his meaning clear.
“You mean Huang Long has merged with Meng Lei’s true dragon head energy?” Heibei asked gravely.
“That’s right!” Leo nodded.
Rivia sneered coldly, “Meng Lei’s true dragon head isn’t something that can be merged so easily, let alone in just one year. Leo, you’ve had Meng Lei’s true dragon head in your hands for quite some time, haven’t you?”
Leo couldn’t respond. As Rivia said, if Meng Lei’s true dragon head could be merged so easily, he wouldn’t have had to guard it for a thousand aeons. This was also what he had struggled to understand—how could Huang Long merge with Meng Lei’s true dragon head so easily?! Even if Huang Long had a way to do so, given his previous dominance strength, it would have taken tens of thousands of years to fully absorb its energy. But now it seemed Huang Long had already absorbed or merged most of its energy—otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to rise from a dominator to a Supreme God!
“Although we don’t know why Huang Long can merge with Meng Lei’s true dragon head, the fact remains that he has done so!” Leo avoided explaining the reason, reminding everyone present and Rivia.
From the beginning until now, Rivia had been siding with Huang Long, which made Leo even more jealous.
With Leo like this, Opot and Heibei also felt uneasy.
After saying that, Leo stopped speaking.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene froze. Waves of murderous intent emerged, surrounding the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon could merge with Meng Lei’s true dragon head—others might not know the details, but how could Opot, who was also a Chaos Divine Dragon, be unaware? The Yellow Dragon was the one Meng Lei had chosen as the heir of the dragon veins! If it had been earlier, he might have spared the Yellow Dragon, but now, there was no way he could let it go! Seeing the Yellow Dragon’s calm expression, Leo was puzzled. He didn’t understand what the Yellow Dragon relied on—could it really be foolish enough to think that Silver Fox Mountain and Twin Monkey Mountain would help it at the cost of completely offending Tianlong Mountain, Fengjin Mountain, and Leipeng Mountain? Suddenly, at that moment, Opot lunged forward, shouting loudly as he attacked the Yellow Dragon. He transformed into a fierce golden light, and as it streaked through the sky, space crackled like paper being torn. Opot didn’t use any supreme divine artifacts; instead, he used his own hands, which had turned into dragon claws in an instant. The golden scales glowed with a chilling light under the sunlight. Time seemed to stop. Everything froze. The elders of the Five Mountains could only vaguely see a golden light. Although Opot’s attack was aimed solely at the Yellow Dragon, the elders still recoiled in fear. Leo’s gaze turned cold, and his smile widened as he moved closer to Opot and the Yellow Dragon. “Die, Yellow Dragon!” came the thought in Leo’s, Hibere’s, and Opot’s minds. The Yellow Dragon’s eyes sharpened, and the Chaos Bell above his head grew larger and larger, eventually disappearing into the void, leaving only a field of starlight. Around the Yellow Dragon, that brilliant starlight moved in a mysterious pattern. As it rotated, invisible forces rippled through space. Just as everyone thought Opot’s attack had struck the starlight protecting the Yellow Dragon’s Chaos Bell, suddenly, a silver light flashed. Then, nine giant silver fox tails appeared in the sky. Along with a sharp cry, that silver light intercepted Opot. The one who acted was Rivia from Silver Fox Mountain. Opot stared at Rivia, who stood in his way, and after a brief pause, his murderous intent intensified. His attack didn’t falter; instead, the golden light around his hands grew even brighter. Soon after, a loud roar echoed from the sky! Both Opot and Rivia were forced to retreat.
Everyone around was astonished by this outcome; no one expected the Divine Queen Livia to actually step in to stop them, including Huang Long. They hadn’t anticipated that Livia would help him despite her feud with Tianlong Mountain. Looking at Livia’s alluring figure, Huang Long couldn’t help but wonder—could it be that Livia really had an interest in him?!
Huang Long shook his head secretly; such a possibility seemed unlikely. Livia wouldn’t act for that reason. But why was she still helping him now? Huang Long couldn’t figure it out, and neither could Leo and the others.
Aubert stabilized himself and stared at Livia across from him, his expression turning cold. His voice was low and harsh, “Livia, does Silver Fox Mountain really intend to oppose Tianlong Mountain?!”
As the Divine Queen of Silver Fox Mountain, Livia naturally represented her mountain. It seemed she didn’t detect the threat in Aubert’s words; she remained smiling, smoothing her long hair atop her head before saying sweetly, “Oppose you? Oh, look at what Divine King Aubert says. How could a bunch of weak women like us from Silver Fox Mountain dare to oppose you, Tianlong Mountain?”
Aubert frowned. By calling herself a weak woman, Livia implied that his earlier action made him seem like a big man showing off by bullying a weak woman! However, most of the people in Silver Fox Mountain were female foxes, so Livia wasn’t entirely wrong.
“Livia, if a Divine Queen is a weak woman, hehe, then there are probably no weak women in the world!” Leo sneered from the side.
Huang Long had stolen Meng Lei’s true dragon head. Anyway, he was doomed to die. Now that Livia was willing to oppose Tianlong Mountain just to help Huang Long, it filled Leo with jealousy, his murderous intent growing even stronger.
Hebrel didn’t say anything, but at that moment, he moved slightly closer to Fengjin Mountain—a subtle gesture that made his intentions clear!
Yidehai and Mu Li, who had initially favored Huang Long hoping to gain benefits from him, hesitated now seeing the three mountains vowing to kill him. Their expressions shifted as they weighed the pros and cons.
Although the Sacred King’s treasures were tempting, opposing the three mountains clearly wasn’t worth it.
Livia turned her head to look at Leo, then glanced at Leo, Aubert, and Hebrel before saying calmly, “What? Can’t the three of you team up against me?”
Leo and the others were stunned.
Although the three of them hadn’t stated it before, they indeed had such intentions. It was just that since Rivia brought it up openly, it became difficult for them to act. Moreover, with the three of them united, Yi Dehai and Mu Li, the couple from Twin Ape Mountain, could not stand by idly and allow the three to kill Rivia, disrupting the balance of the current Chaotic Divine Realm.
