Chapter 0689: The Nine Divine Kings

The Yellow Dragon once again appeared in front of Newwen, reaching out with both hands to pull him before him. At that moment, Newwen had his eyes slightly closed, his breathing weak. Out of instinct, lightning flashed across his body as he tried to struggle in his dying moments. Yet in an instant, the Yellow Dragon used his magic to seal off the space around him, preventing him from breaking free no matter how hard he tried.

A golden light flashed between the Yellow Dragon’s brows, and a dark golden lightning sigil appeared. It emitted a beam of golden light that instantly penetrated the other’s mind. As soon as the Yellow Dragon’s divine consciousness entered the mind, it encountered resistance—significant resistance. Realizing it was the power of the other’s soul, the Yellow Dragon intensified his attack with his own soul power.

After a while, this resistance faded away. Before long, the Yellow Dragon withdrew his divine consciousness. By using the soul-searching technique to examine the other’s memories, he had obtained the answers he needed.

Looking at the unconscious Newwen before him, the Yellow Dragon thought for a moment before deciding to spare his life for now. He sealed off Newwen’s divine powers and placed him inside the Five Pits Divine Cauldron.

After putting Newwen in the cauldron, the Yellow Dragon’s true spirit left the Chaos Bell and returned to his physical form. Turning around, he saw Pili Dragon, Thunder Beast, and Nisil staring at him intently.

“Let’s go!” the Yellow Dragon said, flying onto Pili Dragon’s back.

Nisil opened his mouth as if to speak but ended up saying nothing. He had wanted to ask about the outcome, but then remembered his current status. As a newly recruited subordinate, he didn’t have the right to ask his master such questions. If he offended his master, his life would be in danger!

“Nisil,” the Yellow Dragon spoke up then.

Nisil, who was following behind the Yellow Dragon along with the Thunder Beast, trembled and quickly stepped forward, saying, “Yes, master!”

The Yellow Dragon asked, “Do you know where Wuyou Valley is?”

“Wuyou Valley?” Nisil was puzzled, not understanding why the Yellow Dragon suddenly asked about it. Still, he quickly replied, “Wuyou Valley is in the far east of the Heavenly Realm, on an island called the Horn of Heaven!”

The Yellow Dragon nodded, confirming that Nisil wasn’t lying. Earlier, he had found from Newwen’s memories that Felix, the king of the Thunder Roc clan, had gone to Wuyou Valley in the Horn of Heaven. Now, Nisil’s answer matched Newwen’s memories exactly, proving his words were true.

In fact, Nisil didn’t realize that if he had said Wuyou Valley was in the south or north, even with a slight lie, his life would have been at risk. It could be said that Nisil had been on the brink of death just now.

“The far east! The Horn of Heaven!” Huang Long glanced toward the easternmost part of Heaven Beyond Heaven. Though he didn’t know if God King Fei Li, the leader of the Thunder Roc clan, had gone to Wuyou Valley because of the Tianxu Tree appearing there, his intuition told him that the Tianxu Tree must be related to Wuyou Valley; otherwise, God King Fei Li wouldn’t have gone there.
“God King Huoyang should also be in Wuyou Valley?!” Huang Long’s eyes sparkled.
From Newwen’s memories, it was known that all the God Kings who came to this plane battlefield were drawn by the Tianxu Tree, just like God King Fei Li, all heading to Wuyou Valley.
“Wuyou Valley! Let’s go!” Huang Long slapped Pili Dragon, who understood immediately. With a burst of speed, it flew eastward at full force, appearing from afar like a flame emitting blue light.
The Thunder Beast and Nisier also followed closely behind.
Along the way, Huang Long and his group encountered many god-tier powerhouses fighting fiercely over treasures. Some foolish ones even tried to attack them. But the outcome for those who were reckless was predictable—they were either kicked into the air by Zherom or turned to charcoal by the Thunder Beast’s lightning.
As for Nisier, though he wanted to impress Huang Long, he dared not compete for attention in front of Pili Dragon and the Thunder Beast.
Thus, they continued their rapid journey. After several days, Huang Long and his group finally arrived at the easternmost part of Heaven Beyond Heaven—the Horn of Heaven!
Wuyou Valley was located on Wuyou Island, which was just one of the hundreds of thousands of islands in the Horn of Heaven. With countless islands stretching out, standing above the Horn of Heaven, Huang Long looked down at the sea below.
Heaven Beyond Heaven, this plane battlefield of the Hongmeng Realm, had land covering 99% of its area, but it wasn’t entirely land—places like the Horn of Heaven here were actually seas.
Although the Horn of Heaven was just a corner of Heaven Beyond Heaven, its scale was enormous. The largest islands in these seas were even bigger than some of the main cities in the Hongmeng Realm. If just one island was that large, one could imagine how vast the Horn of Heaven must be!
Wuyou Island was situated at the southernmost part of the Horn of Heaven.
After arriving at the Horn of Heaven, Huang Long used his divine sense to search for a while. Finding nothing unusual, he rode Pili Dragon toward Wuyou Island.
It wasn’t long before Huang Long and his group approached Wuyou Island.
Wuyou Island was in sight!
But just then, suddenly, a terrifying pressure emerged from ahead, followed by another wave of dreadful pressure rising into the sky.
“Powerful God Kings!” Huang Long’s eyes narrowed.
These two waves of pressure came from powerful God Kings, and only such beings could possess such terrifying pressure.

Faced with these two pressures, aside from the Yellow Dragon, the Ruffian Dragon, the Thunder Beast, and Nisir all changed expressions, their eyes filled with awe. The Yellow Dragon ordered the Ruffian Dragon to stop, thought for a moment, then took to the air. A flash of light appeared between his brows as he brought the Ruffian Dragon, the Thunder Beast, and Nisir into the Immortal Pavilion. After all, their opponent was a Divine King powerhouse, so the Yellow Dragon wasn’t being careless. After enclosing the three in the Immortal Pavilion, the Yellow Dragon’s entire body glowed, making it seem as though he had disappeared into the sky. In reality, he had simply used a divine skill to merge himself with the surrounding space, allowing him to remain hidden while matching the surroundings in both appearance and aura. Then, the Yellow Dragon rushed toward Wuyou Island. As he got closer, a faint but growing surge of powerful energy became more intense. “One, two, three… nine!” The Yellow Dragon was shocked—besides the Divine King who had emitted such immense pressure earlier, there were seven more Divine Kings on the island, making a total of nine Divine King powerhouses! In the entire Hongmeng world, there were only over twenty such powerhouses, and one-third of them were gathered here! This strength was enough to destroy heaven and earth! Divine King powerhouses were the true peak warriors beneath the Holy Kings. Even the current quasi-saint, the Yellow Dragon, had to admit that he needed to yield in front of them. With these nine Divine Kings, the Yellow Dragon became even more cautious. After some thought, he also entered the Immortal Pavilion and used it to descend to the deepest parts of the ocean, slowly making his way to Wuyou Island. Inside the Immortal Pavilion, the Yellow Dragon stood in the Dragon Palace Hall, with the Ruffian Dragon, the Thunder Beast, and Nisir standing behind him. The Ruffian Dragon had entered the Immortal Pavilion many times before, so he wasn’t fazed, but the Thunder Beast and Nisir, who were entering for the first time, remained in a state of shock for a long time. The Yellow Dragon raised his hand and pointed at a spot above the hall. After a ripple of light, a ten-meter-wide water mirror appeared, showing the situation on Wuyou Island. “Lord Divine King Feili!” Nisir exclaimed in awe upon seeing the tall middle-aged man covered in lightning on the mirror. This middle-aged man was none other than Feili, the Divine King of the Thunder Peng clan! The Divine King seal on Feili’s forehead was a purple-black lightning pattern, somewhat similar to the Yellow Dragon’s Immortal Seal, though the latter was dark golden in color. Standing opposite Feili was another middle-aged man surrounded by flames that reached into the sky, blocking out the sun, turning the sky above red. This man also had an astonishing presence, but he was weaker compared to Feili.

“Hei, Huoyang. I never expected that you didn’t die back then—not only that, but you’ve now broken through the limits of the Supreme Divine Realm and become a Divine King. Hehe, truly admirable!” Fei Li sneered at the middle-aged man across from him.
As expected! Huang Long thought to himself. This middle-aged man covered in flames must be Divine King Huoyang!
Divine King Huoyang had indeed come to the plane battlefield of the Hongmeng Realm!
So, was Divine King Huoyang really here for that Hongmeng Spirit Treasure, the Tianxu Tree?!
After confirming the identity of the middle-aged man, Huang Long began to ponder Fei Li’s words, wondering if Divine King Huoyang was none other than the Chaos Huoyang Stone!
However, it was almost certain that Divine King Huoyang was indeed the Chaos Huoyang Stone!
This could be inferred from Fei Li’s words, as Divine King Huoyang had only later broken through to become a Divine King after reaching the level of a Supreme Divine.
Divine King Huoyang stared at Fei Li, flames flaring in his eyes as a sea of fire surged around him. With a sneer, he said, “Thanks to you, I survived that ordeal, rose from destruction, and finally broke through to become a Supreme Divine and then a Divine King. All these years, I’ve never forgotten the kindness you showed me back then!” At these words, his eyes brimmed with murderous hatred.
If it weren’t for Fei Li back then, he wouldn’t have been besieged by other Divine Kings. Fortunately, taking advantage of their conflicts, he managed to escape. Otherwise, he would likely have already been refined by one of them or dead!
Thus, he harbored the deepest hatred for Fei Li!
“Hehe, is that so? Then you really should thank me properly!” Fei Li laughed heartily and said, “But you should never, under any circumstances, come to this plane battlefield of the Hongmeng Realm for that Tianxu Tree. You should know that this battlefield has buried countless strong warriors!”
Divine King Huoyang remained calm, glancing at everyone before fixing his gaze on Fei Li. With mockery, he said, “Just you?” Although Fei Li was stronger than him, he wasn’t afraid. Now, he was a Divine King!
Fei Li’s eyes sharpened, the purple-black lightning of the Divine King seal flashing on his forehead. Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and a powerful purple lightning bolt struck down from above Divine King Huoyang’s head.
Divine King Huoyang remained unfazed. As the purple lightning struck, a cloud of fire appeared above his head. As the lightning hit the cloud, it vibrated and exploded, producing a loud buzzing sound!
Vast cracks appeared high in the sky.
As these two Divine Kings fought for the first time, their immense power made Pili Long, Thunder Beast, and Nisier tremble even through the water mirror.
Huang Long tapped his fingers gently. The other Divine Kings were here, but where was the Tianxu Tree? Just now, his divine sense hadn’t detected any Tianxu Tree on Wuyou Island.
