Chapter 0674: The Secrets of the Demon King’s Temple

The Imperial Palace of the Tanghai Empire.
“I never expected that young man with black hair to be the Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family!” Zhan Long from the War God Sect said gloomily. His eyes revealed his panic as he paced back and forth.
After learning that the young man with black hair who had killed Sand was the Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family, he could no longer hold back and rushed to the Imperial Palace of the Tanghai Empire to discuss the matter with the eccentric Tang Haitian.
Tang Haitian frowned, his wrinkled face deepening further. Although the two of them had learned from the Guardian of the Arctic Peak Dimension that the visitor should be an elder from some major family in the Divine Realm, they never expected it to be the Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family!
He was familiar with the Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family!
The ancient records of the Tanghai Empire contained some accounts of his deeds!
The ancient records spoke highly of this Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family, describing him as the most talented person since the birth of the Hengyuan Dimension!
The Hengyuan Dimension had existed for countless tens of thousands of years, with many generations passing by and numerous exceptionally talented individuals emerging. Yet the ancient records dared to label him as the most talented person since its inception—just imagine how monstrous his talent must be!
However, aside from this evaluation, there were no detailed records about just how extraordinary his talent was, such as at what age he reached the Holy Realm or the Divine Realm.
“Eccentric Tang, say something! What should we do now that the Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family has returned?!” Zhan Long demanded anxiously when Tang Haitian remained silent.
“What can we do?” Tang Haitian replied slowly, “Other than wait?”
If this Dragon God Ancestor decided to attack them, they wouldn’t be able to escape even if they tried! A single roar from him would shatter their will to resist—what kind of power was that?
Zhan Long was stunned before finally sitting down with a sigh.
“I heard that this Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family killed the King of the Tianyun Dimension back in the day!” After a while, an idea struck Zhan Long, and he blurted it out.
Tang Haitian frowned and said gravely, “Tianyun Dimension!” He understood what Zhan Long meant—to inform the current King of the Tianyun Dimension about the return of the Dragon God Ancestor of the Huang family.
The current King was the brother of the original King, also belonging to the Leopold family of the Divine Realm of Light.
“That’s not right, is it?” Tang Haitian felt that doing so was inappropriate.
“What do you mean, not right? Don’t you know the current King of the Tianyun Dimension? If you tell him, he’ll surely take action to avenge his brother!” Zhan Long said, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Tang Haitian’s expression shifted unpredictably.

“Old Tang, what are you still hesitating about? Are you really going to sit here waiting for that ancestor of the Huang family’s Dragon God to come and kill us?!” War Dragon rumbled.

Finally, Tang Haitian nodded, his expression resolute. Immediately, the two transformed into streams of light and headed toward the Tianyun Dimensional Space.

Not long after they left, news spread in the Hengyuan Realm that Huang Long had departed it.

……

Huang Long rode on the two-headed demon tigers, Xier, and left the Dragon God Mountains. It wasn’t long before he appeared above the Sea of Death in the Mortal Hell.

The Sea of Death was covered in a faint layer of black mist, just as it had been in the past. Beneath the mist lay fierce battles!

It was here that Huang Long had once tamed the Sky Blue Python Ox. But now, the Sky Blue Python Ox had also become a Supreme God, so it couldn’t follow Huang Long back to Hengyuan this time.

“Let’s go!” Huang Long tapped his two-headed demon tigers, who took off into the air, carrying him deeper into the Sea of Death.

Above the Sea of Death, watching the battles between demons and dark magic beasts, as well as among the demons themselves, Huang Long remained calm.

It wasn’t long before he reached that desolate island. Then, using the Immortal Escape technique, he led the two-headed demon tigers into an underground space. After descending thousands of feet, Huang Long descended further and entered that otherworldly space.

In this otherworldly space, the ground still emitted a putrid smell—fearful and cold.

The giant altar still stood there, along with the countless stone coffins arranged on it!

Huang Long rode his two-headed demon tigers above the altar, made them land, and then flashed forward to the center of the altar. There, he discovered something he hadn’t noticed before.

He raised his right hand and pointed at his forehead. A golden light emanated from the center of his forehead and spread around the altar. Under this golden light, faint black lights appeared before Huang Long’s eyes.

At first glance, these black lights seemed unremarkable, but Huang Long realized that they intersected with each other, forming a complex and mysterious grand array above the altar!

“The Hongmeng Primordial Array?!” Huang Long was shocked.

The mystery and power of this array were even greater than that of the array set up by Livia of Silver Fox Mountain! So, Huang Long was certain it was one of the Hongmeng Primordial Arrays!

“Which Hongmeng God could have created this Hongmeng Primordial Array?!” After being surprised, Huang Long fell into deep thought. Only the Hongmeng Gods could create such arrays—God-King Livia, Leo, Opot, and Hebrei.

Could this other dimension have been created by some God of Hongmeng?! But what was his purpose in creating it?! And why were these hidden Hongmeng Innate Arrays set up here? Moreover, these Hongmeng Innate Arrays were concealed through some trickery; if not for Huang Long’s greatly enhanced strength now, it would be impossible to discover them even if he tried several times! Huang Long began to examine these Hongmeng Innate Arrays closely. The more he looked, the more mysterious they seemed, and he also noticed that they were closely connected to the countless stone coffins on the altar! An idea struck Huang Long. Above his head, a green light appeared—it was the World Tree! As the World Tree appeared, Huang Long saw that the black lights forming the Hongmeng Innate Arrays began to tremble faintly, as if dormant dark magical beasts were about to awaken. With a thought from Huang Long, the World Tree descended onto the jade platform in the center of the altar. Back then, it was from this jade platform that Huang Long had taken away the World Tree. The moment the World Tree landed on the platform, a brilliant light burst forth, with green rays shooting up from it, while the black lights of the Hongmeng Innate Arrays started to flow. “What are these black lights?!” Huang Long stared in surprise at the stone coffins. As the Hongmeng Innate Arrays operated, Huang Long finally discovered the source of these flowing black lights—they were emanating from the stone coffins! Huang Long’s eyes narrowed. Judging from the operation of these arrays, it seemed clear that the God of Hongmeng had set them up for the World Tree?! Because the flow of these black lights converged toward the World Tree on the jade platform. Moreover, their flow followed a pattern—rising and falling like a person’s breath, with each breath causing the green lights on the World Tree to glow slightly brighter. Huang Long hadn’t noticed this before, but now he had. “Is the other party using these Hongmeng Innate Arrays to cultivate the World Tree?” he thought to himself. Back then, on Kale Continent in the Chaos Divine Realm, Huang Long had bought a branch of the World Tree at Tianjie and tried to grow it into a living tree, but never succeeded. He never expected to see the Hongmeng Innate Arrays used for cultivating the World Tree here! But who could it be?! Who would go to such lengths to set up these arrays to cultivate the World Tree only to leave?! Full of doubts, Huang Long extended his divine sense to cover the entire other dimension, but found nothing else.

After a while, Huang Long withdrew his divine consciousness and looked at the World Tree on the jade platform. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hands and drew the World Tree back into his body. Now that the World Tree was alive, the Hongmeng Primordial Array he had cultivated no longer served a significant purpose for it. Once the World Tree was taken back, the Hongmeng Primordial Array ceased to function, and Huang Long retracted his Heavenly Eye; the black lights in the air disappeared. Under normal circumstances, these black lights could not be seen with the naked eye. Although the Hongmeng Primordial Array no longer had much effect on the World Tree, Huang Long still recorded it, thinking that in the future he might obtain other Hongmeng spiritual roots, at which point the array could become very useful. Huang Long then glanced around at the stone coffins and slowly walked up to one of them. Channeling the power of the immortals within him, he struck it with a palm. With a hum, a golden light flashed across the coffin, causing the seals on it to dim, and the lid slowly lifted, revealing what was inside. Inside the coffin lay a tall corpse! This corpse was not human; it resembled a magical beast but had a human shape and a human-like face. Its limbs were thick, comparable to those of a magical beast, with two dark horns on its head. Huang Long reached out with both hands and pulled the corpse out of the coffin. “Could this be one of the three thousand Hongmeng races?!” flashed through his mind. From this corpse, he could sense immense energy within it! The Three Thousand Hongmeng Gods were born from chaos, and only their descendant races’ corpses retained such powerful energy after death! Huang Long opened the other coffins as well; they all contained corpses similar to this one, each with great energy within. With a decision in mind, he placed these corpses and coffins into the Five Pits Divine Cauldron. Previously, he lacked the strength to open the coffins, let alone take them away, but now, with his quasi-saintly power, it was not difficult to do so! After storing these corpses and coffins, Huang Long went to the stone door in the center of the altar, which was hundreds of meters high and wide. Above the door’s lintel, the words “Demon King’s Temple” of the ancient demon race emitted a faint glow. “Demon King’s Temple!” Huang Long murmured to himself. Now that the mystery of the stone coffins was solved, he wanted to see what secrets lay behind this stone door.

Huang Long raised his right hand and slammed it onto the stone door. The door emitted a glow, and a mysterious force tried to push Huang Long back. However, his strength was no longer what it used to be. With a deep roar, he channeled all the power of the immortal spirit within him. His right hand glowed as he forcefully suppressed that mysterious force!
