Chapter 0706: Holy Light Stone

“Ska, this time, our clan leader must obtain the Holy Light Stone. I advise you not to even think about it—otherwise, hehe, don’t blame me for ignoring our kinship!” one of the group leaders shouted.
“Hehe? Your clan leader must have it? Ridiculous! This Holy Light Stone is the sacred stone of our Corpse Demon clan—only the strongest deserves it. Only our great leader is fit to possess it!” another leader roared.
“Seeking death!”
“Kill them!”
Instantly, the two groups of ancient demons clashed, with a foul stench filling the air and violent explosions echoing amid a sickly green glow.
Huang Long and the other two exchanged glances.
Holy Light Stone?!
They never expected the conflict between these ancient demons to be over that very stone!
“Let’s go and take a look,” Riviera said eagerly upon hearing about the Holy Light Stone.
Huang Long and Huo Yang nodded. The three of them flashed into the air above the fierce battle.
Their appearance caught the attention of the fighting ancient demons.
“You’re not from our Corpse Demon clan?!” one of the ancient demons exclaimed in shock. Immediately, both sides stopped fighting and turned to look at Huang Long and the others.
In this Abyss of Ancient Corpses, aside from the Corpse Demon clan, there were no other creatures—let alone magical beasts; not even a single plant could be seen. Now, three beings from a different race had appeared!
“Who are you?!” one of the leaders demanded, staring at Huang Long and the others. The other side also ordered their hundreds of subordinates to surround them, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
The appearance of these three unknown races meant that if they could bring them back to their clan, the elders would surely reward them handsomely.
Before Huang Long and Riviera could speak, Huo Yang sneered, “Who are we?!” Then, with a swipe of his palm, he lifted one of the leaders into the air, preventing the ancient demon from escaping despite its struggles.
Faced with the confined space around it, the ancient demon’s blood-red eyes filled with terror.
The other ancient demons nearby were too scared to move, staring at Huang Long and the others in awe.
Although this ancient demon leader, with the strength of a high-ranking god, was nothing in the eyes of Huang Long and the others, it was still extremely powerful among its own kind.
The other leader retreated to the side, his eyes flickering as he considered fleeing, yet he dared not run away.
Huo Yang brought that ancient demon close and used a secret technique to control its mind, then asked, “Do you know where the Holy Light Stone is?”
Holy Light Stone?! Hearing Huo Yang ask about it, the surrounding ancient demons realized Huang Long and the others’ purpose.

It wasn’t some strange race from the Ancient Demon clan—could they also be here to steal the Holy Light Stone?! The Ancient Demon clan had always lived in this Abyss of Ancient Corpses and never had the chance to come into contact with the outside world, so they didn’t know about Huang Long and his companions summoning help. When the Ancient Demon leader heard Huo Yang’s questions, his eyes were vacant as he answered one by one. After getting the answers, Huo Yang turned to Huang Long and Livia. Huang Long and Livia nodded. Seeing this, Huo Yang turned back, snapped his fingers, and a crimson light flashed, instantly passing through the Ancient Demon leader’s body as he plummeted from the sky. The other Ancient Demons screamed in fright and scattered like birds startled from a dense forest. Huo Yang snorted coldly. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of miles around turned into a sea of fire. The fleeing Ancient Demons were burned to ashes before they could even utter a cry. After dealing with these Ancient Demons, Huang Long and his companions left the area. From the Ancient Demon leader, they learned that in recent days, a place called Magic Pond in the sacred land of the Ancient Demon clan would give birth to the Holy Light Stone. Now, Magic Pond had gathered powerful warriors from various tribes of the Ancient Demon clan, waiting for the Holy Light Stone to appear so they could seize it. What Huang Long and his companions were heading to now was that sacred place—the Magic Pond of the Ancient Demon clan. Magic Pond was located deep within one of the islands in the Abyss of Ancient Corpses. That island was named Demon Island. However, it wasn’t far away. With the strength of Huang Long and his companions, it still took them a few hours to reach Demon Island. A few hours later, they arrived above the island. Standing above Demon Island and looking down, they saw that the island resembled a gourd—small at the top and large at the bottom, with two circular shapes. Green energy currents surrounded the island, so dense they almost resembled a liquid. With such strong poisonous energy, even ordinary Ancient Demons wouldn’t dare approach; only those with the power of higher gods could enter Demon Island. Huang Long’s brows flashed as he opened his Heavenly Eyes to look inside the island. After a while, he closed his Heavenly Eyes and frowned. Inside the island, there was a place shrouded in white light, too unclear to see what was inside even with Heavenly Eyes. “Could this be the sacred Magic Pond of the Ancient Demon clan?!” Huang Long thought to himself. After stopping for a while, Huang Long and his companions broke through the poisonous energy of Demon Island and entered it. Once inside, they headed straight for Magic Pond. Soon, they arrived at the place covered in white light. This white light wasn’t like ordinary white light but was milky white, with golden rays occasionally shining through it.

When the three from the Yellow Dragon arrived, the milky white light was fluctuating constantly, expanding and contracting. When it expanded, it covered an area of a thousand miles; when it contracted, it was only a hundred miles. However, by the time the three from the Yellow Dragon arrived, the surroundings were already filled with powerful members of the Ancient Demon clan. With a glance of his divine sense, the Yellow Dragon saw tens of thousands of them. Even the weakest among them possessed strength comparable to that of peerless warriors, while the strongest were only on par with human sovereign warriors. Yet, those at the level above human gods were few, only dozens in number. Two of them caught the Yellow Dragon’s attention—they were the strongest among the Ancient Demons, at the peak of sovereign strength, and had already stepped into the realm of Supreme Gods. Of course, these two Ancient Demons merely drew the Yellow Dragon’s attention; he didn’t take them seriously, let alone Livia and Huoyang. Not to mention sovereign warriors, even Supreme Gods were but ants in the face of divine king-level warriors—except for the Yellow Dragon, an exception. The arrival of the three from the Yellow Dragon drew the attention of tens of thousands of powerful Ancient Demons. As before, some of them exclaimed in shock at the appearance of the three. Soon after, dozens of figures rushed toward them, surrounding the trio completely. “Who are you?!” one of the powerful Ancient Demons demanded, his eyes flashing as he stared at them. Huoyang turned his head, coldly scanning the dozens of Ancient Demons around him, then fixed his gaze on the one who spoke. With a cold snort, under the astonished gazes of the others, those dozens of Ancient Demons surrounding the three were sent flying backward as if struck hard. There were dozens of muffled thuds, and after hitting the ground, those Ancient Demons fell silent. The surrounding area, which had been discussing the identity of the three, suddenly fell dead silent, so quiet that even the sound of a falling needle could be heard. The air in the space stagnated. Almost all the Ancient Demons’ eyes were fixed on those dozens of bodies lying motionless on the ground, including those two sovereign peak warriors. Those who could enter the Demon Island were all powerful members of various tribes of the Ancient Demon clan, but they couldn’t see clearly how Huoyang had killed those dozens of Ancient Demons. They only heard his cold snort, followed by those dozens of Ancient Demons flying backward and dying. For a long time, there was still no sound. After killing those dozens of high-ranking gods, Huoyang didn’t move again, watching the developments within the milky white light alongside the Yellow Dragon and Livia.

“My Lord Demon King!” At that moment, an ancient demon of extraordinary strength flew over to another ancient demon of supreme power and said respectfully, “These three mysterious beings have killed our people, and it seems they are here for the Holy Light Stones as well. We cannot stand by and do nothing!”
Among the ancient demons, those of supreme power were generally referred to as My Lord Demon King.
The dozens of ancient demons killed by Huoyang earlier were actually sent by that powerful warrior to test Huang Long and his companions. Unexpectedly, they were all killed by Huoyang in the blink of an eye. Filled with shock and anger, yet fearing the strength of Huang Long and his companions, they dared not approach and instead sought help from their tribe’s My Lord Demon King!
And as he said, it seemed the others were also after the Holy Light Stones!
Although this powerful Demon King was not as strong as those two ancient demons at the peak of dominion, his strength was still only slightly weaker than theirs, placing him among the top ranks among the many powerful ancient demons. After hearing what his subordinate had said, his eyes flickered, but he hesitated before taking action, unsure if he could handle Huang Long and his companions.
He couldn’t gauge their strength.
“My Lord Demon King!” The powerful ancient demon stepped forward again, speaking earnestly, while the other ancient demons looked at him expectantly.
In the end, this powerful Demon King flew behind Huang Long and his companions.
“Are you three also here for the Holy Light Stones?” he asked.
Huang Long and his companions remained silent.
Seeing that they ignored him, the Demon King grew angry and said sternly, “The Holy Light Stones belong to our ancient demon race. If you leave now, we won’t pursue you. Otherwise, you’ll be against all the powerful beings of our race!” Those three had unpredictable strength, but no matter what, they couldn’t possibly fight against all the powerful ancient demons!
Huoyang slowly turned his head, his eyes sharp as knives, and said coldly, “Get lost!” With a single wave of his hand, he sent that ancient demon flying away under the terrified gazes of the surrounding ancient demons.
In front of Huoyang, this Demon King with dominion-level strength didn’t even get a chance to resist. When he hit the ground, he landed right next to those dozens of ancient demons.
The Demon King struggled to get up, his mouth filled with green blood. He stared at Huoyang in terror, realizing that the terrifying force from Huoyang’s gesture had almost crushed him entirely.
