Chapter 0690: The Nine Divine Kings’ Fury

Just as Huang Long’s divine senses failed to detect the existence of the Tianyu Tree, suddenly, the Fire Yang Divine King roared in anger, leaped into the air, and threw a punch at Divine King Fei Li.
The powerful force of the Fire Yang Divine King was overwhelming, causing waves to surge hundreds of millions of miles away from the island.
Seeing this, Divine King Fei Li smiled coldly and also took to the air, meeting the Fire Yang Divine King’s punch with his own.
The two clashed violently before separating.
With a thunderous roar, lightning dragons filled the sky, and a sea of fire churned below.
The other seven divine kings retreated and watched from hundreds of millions of miles above the sea.
Inside the Immortal Pavilion, Huang Long and the others were also captivated by the fierce battle between the two divine kings.
A battle between divine kings was something seen only once in thousands of years.
Above the water mirror in the Immortal Pavilion, half was a sea of fire while the other half was filled with lightning. In the sea of fire, the Fire Yang Divine King shone like a blazing sun, his intense red light making the surroundings seem colorless.
Amidst the lightning, Divine King Fei Li was surrounded by lightning dragons, with countless of them swirling around him, making him appear like a thunder god in control of all lightning forces.
The two stood high in the sky, their invisible energies constantly colliding.
Terrifying aftereffects from their clashes cut through and flattened everything around the island below.
Numerous sea beasts in the Tianzijiao sea region fled deep into the ocean out of fear, while those near Wuyou Island could withstand the terrifying aura of the two divine kings no longer and floated to the surface with their bellies turned up.
Huang Long shifted his gaze from the two combatants to the seven other divine kings nearby.
Two of them caught his attention.
One was an elderly man dressed in a purple-gold robe. He had a dignified appearance, narrow curved eyebrows, and dragon horns resembling those of the Pangu dragon clan on either side of his forehead.
“A member of the Tianlong clan?!” Huang Long thought to himself.
Among the Tianlong clan, aside from Xibei and Kayel, who had recently become divine kings, only the current clan leader, Divine King Durali, was a powerful divine king.
Thus, Huang Long deduced that the elderly man in the purple-gold robe must be Divine King Durali, the current leader of the Tianlong clan.
The other was a middle-aged man of tall and robust build, thicker than ordinary people. His arms were especially thick, and his palms, visible at the cuffs, were covered with fine golden ape fur.
“A member of the Golden Ape clan?” Huang Long thought of Yi De Hai and Mu Li, the divine king couple from Shuangwan Mountain. They belonged to the Chaos Six-Winged Golden Ape clan. Besides them, there were two more divine kings in the clan: Telhan, the current clan leader, and Meiwasi, the supreme elder of the Golden Ape clan.

I wonder if this middle-aged man is Telhan or Mevasi? Huang Long thought to himself. At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and looked downward at the island. The divine king seal resembling a third eye between his brows blinked, and a flash of golden light appeared. Shocked, Huang Long quickly cut off his sensing. The middle-aged man scanned the area but found nothing and muttered, “Could it be that my sensing was wrong?” He had clearly sensed someone spying on him through that third eye earlier. An emaciated old man beside him spoke in a hoarse voice, “Mevasi, what’s going on?” The middle-aged man shook his head. “Nothing. Maybe it was just a wrong sensing.” The emaciated old man laughed. “You’re being too cautious. Could anyone approach this Wuyou Island without us noticing?” The middle-aged man nodded. By listening to their conversation, Huang Long confirmed that this middle-aged man was Mevasi, the supreme elder of the Golden Ape clan. The emaciated old man also caught Huang Long’s attention. There was a sense of weight about him, not only visually but also in terms of emotional perception. Huang Long searched his memories—could this old man be Parna, the leader of the Black Bear clan?! The Black Bear clan was also one of the three thousand races in Hongmeng. Although their strength wasn’t comparable to that of the five great dominators like Leipeng and Tianlong, they still couldn’t be underestimated. Any Hongmeng race backed by a powerful divine king couldn’t be taken lightly! At that time, the Fire Sun Divine King and Divine King Feili were fighting fiercely again. Their battles caused mountains to collapse and the earth to crack. The islands surrounding Wuyou Island began to sink under the force of their attacks. Even Huang Long and the others inside the Immortal Pavilion beneath Wuyou Island felt waves of disturbance. The immense pressure from their battles made the mutated beasts and Hell Red Demons in the Immortal Pavilion panic. Seeing this, Huang Long quickly activated the Immortal Pavilion’s defense formation, creating countless spaces to isolate the outside world, which calmed the mutated beasts and Hell Red Demons down. However, during their fierce battle, Huang Long noticed something else: no matter how the islands around Wuyou Island sank or disappeared, the island itself never suffered any destructive attacks. Both the Fire Sun Divine King and Divine King Feili avoided hitting Wuyou Island in their attacks. Meanwhile, the seven divine kings also protected Wuyou Island, either intentionally or unintentionally, preventing the attacks of the two major divine kings from reaching it. Huang Long’s mind stirred. Could it be related to the Tianxian Tree? The gathering of all divine kings at Wuyou Island surely wasn’t a coincidence. He began to pay close attention to everything around him.

Yet as the fierce battle between the two continued, nothing changed on Wuyou Island. The Tianmian Tree, which Huang Long had been keeping an eye on, still did not appear. The activities in Tianzhi Jiao also caught the attention of other godly-powered warriors in the interdimensional battlefield. Though curious, the gods were terrified by the terrifying aura and pressure of the two divine kings and fled, not daring to approach.

Even ordinary supreme gods did not dare to come close to the divine kings, let alone those godly-powered warriors. Some supreme deities could only cautiously linger around the periphery of Tianzhi Jiao.

After a day and night, affected by the intense battle between the two divine kings, nearly all of the hundreds of thousands of islands in the Tianzhi Jiao sea area, spanning hundreds of billions of miles around Wuyou Island, sank to the bottom of the sea. Occasionally, a few islands floated on the surface, isolated and alone, looking like small piles of rocks rising from the sea from afar.

As the battle dragged on, it became clear who was stronger between Divine King Huoyang and Divine King Feili. Having reached the divine king realm for countless eras, Divine King Feili was ultimately stronger than Divine King Huoyang, who had just made a breakthrough. Huoyang was now at a disadvantage. If this continued, his defeat was only a matter of time.

However, among divine kings, there was only a distinction between victory and defeat. It was impossible for Divine King Feili to kill Divine King Huoyang.

By the end of the fierce battle, both had summoned their divine artifacts. Divine King Feili used a giant axe, while Divine King Huoyang used a long sword. Huang Long realized that both were divine artifacts of the Hongmeng Lingbao grade. The giant axe used by Divine King Feili was even more powerful than the Sacred King Lingbao Thunder Axe used by Xibei on Leipeng Mountain.

Compared to Divine King Feili’s giant axe, the long sword used by Divine King Huoyang, though also a Hongmeng Lingbao, was slightly less powerful.

Hongmeng Lingbao artifacts also had different grades, ranging from lower to higher: lower, middle, upper, and supreme.

Finally, Divine King Feili swung his giant axe, unleashing thousands of thunderous dragons that broke through Huoyang’s defenses. Unprepared, Huoyang was struck and flew backward, crashing into the sea below. A muffled sound was heard as Huoyang’s face turned pale.

Seeing this, Divine King Feili sneered and swung his axe again, ready to attack Huoyang once more. But at that moment, a brilliant light burst from Wuyou Island below, so intense that it blinded all the divine kings for a moment.

When Wuyou Island shone with brilliant light, Huang Long could sense it beginning to tremble irregularly, with the vibrations growing stronger by the moment. When these tremors reached their peak, suddenly, a green light column several miles in diameter shot upward from the center of Wuyou Island. This green column stirred the skies, sending shockwaves in all directions and forming a massive vortex.

Within this green column, a towering green tree slowly rose to the surface, hundreds of meters high. Although this tree also emitted a green glow, just like the World Tree, its light was different. While the World Tree’s green glow had a crystal-clear quality akin to white jade, this tree’s glow contained sparks of light resembling the sun, golden and red in hue.

“The Tianyou Tree?!” Fei Li, who had intended to attack the Fire Sun Divine King again, froze momentarily. Staring at the tree rising slowly from the center of Wuyou Island, he exclaimed in delight, “It’s really the Tianyou Tree!”

Several other voices joined Fei Li in exclaiming in surprise—those were the seven other Divine Kings nearby.

The supreme Hongmeng spiritual treasure, the Tianyou Tree, had finally appeared!

The Tianyou Tree, which the Divine Kings had guarded so desperately, was finally here!

In an instant, nine figures rushed toward the center of Wuyou Island at almost the same time, all aiming at the green light column. Among them, the Fire Sun Divine King, who had been slightly injured by Fei Li’s attack, fell behind by half a step.

As the nine Divine Kings attacked, the green light column suddenly flared brightly, sending a powerful force back at them. Yet, under their combined attacks, this force was instantly shattered, and the green column broke apart.

The supreme Hongmeng spiritual treasure, the Tianyou Tree, was now exposed before the Divine Kings!

The eyes of Fei Li and the other eight burned with passion, their breathing becoming faster. But just as the Divine Kings prepared to seize the Tianyou Tree once more, suddenly, with a flash of light, the tree vanished into thin air!

Right before everyone’s eyes, the supreme Hongmeng spiritual treasure, the Tianyou Tree, disappeared!

Fei Li and the others were stunned for a moment before regaining their composure, their faces filled with anger.

“Who’s there? Show yourself!”

“Hand over the Tianyou Tree to this Divine King!”

The nine of them roared in anger simultaneously, striking at Wuyou Island with their palms. Under the fury of the nine Divine Kings, Wuyou Island, spanning millions of miles, instantly shattered and collapsed, sinking to the seabed.

A terrifying force of the Divine Kings rippled across hundreds of millions of miles, penetrating even to the bottom of the sea. Roaring explosions echoed like thunder, shaking everything around.

At this moment, the Yellow Dragon, which had instantly drawn the Tianyou Tree into the Pantheon Pavilion, had already driven the pavilion far away, hundreds of millions of miles beyond. Affected by the terrifying power of the Nine Divine Kings, the space within the Pantheon Pavilion trembled violently and shook incessantly.
