Chapter 0707: The Arrival of Kayer and Others

Compared to the dozens of ancient demons that had died earlier, the fact that this Demon King was sent flying with a single strike from Huoyang shocked the surrounding ancient demons even more—due to the strength of this Demon King!
Even the two peak Dominator-level ancient demons among the tens of thousands around them could not hide their shock.
After severely wounding the Demon King, Huoyang glanced coldly at the surrounding ancient demons and said, “You can leave now!” If they continued to be stubborn, he wouldn’t hesitate to strike again and wipe them all out!
At Huoyang’s words, the expressions of the ancient demons turned extremely ugly.
Leave?!
This Sacred Light Stone was originally a sacred artifact of their ancient demon race. Moreover, they had come with the intent to seize it by force. Now they were being told to leave? By a creature of unknown origin! This filled them with rage. But upon seeing the powerful Demon King lying on the ground, they remembered Huoyang’s terrifying strength and were filled with fear once again.
Seeing the changing expressions on the ancient demons’ faces, Huoyang knew they would find it hard to give up the Sacred Light Stone. With a cold snort, he focused his gaze on the two peak Dominator-level ancient demons, reached out with his hands, and pulled them out from the crowd.
The two powerful Demon King ancient demons hadn’t expected Huoyang to attack them suddenly. They were terrified, their bodies glowing green as they unleashed their divine powers frantically. Yet no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn’t break free from the confined space.
In an instant, the two Demon King ancient demons were lifted before Huoyang.
Watching them struggle, Huoyang’s eyes turned cold. With a single grip, and under the terrified gaze of the surrounding ancient demons, the two Demon King ancient demons let out agonized screams before turning into balls of flame.
The flames burned fiercely, their terrifying destructive power forcing the surrounding ancient demons to retreat in horror.
The flames continued to burn. After a while, the screams faded, and the two Demon King ancient demons finally disappeared from sight.
These two peak Dominator-level ancient demons were actually the highest rulers of their race, revered as supreme gods by the ancient demons. Now, seeing their supreme gods killed so easily by Huoyang without any chance of resistance, they were filled with terror and could hardly accept what was happening.
After killing these two strongest ancient demons, Huoyang glanced around at the rest. This time, without even needing to speak, the ancient demons, terrified by his cold gaze, fled in panic.

The ancient demon king, who had been severely injured by Huoyang earlier, was so terrified that his face lost all color. Ignoring his internal wounds, he fled as fast as he could. In the blink of an eye, all the ancient demons disappeared completely. On the demon island, only Huang Long and the others remained. Huoyang paid no further attention to the fleeing ancient demons and turned to look at Huang Long and Livia, watching what was inside the white light. “It seems the Holy Light Stone won’t appear in the next couple of days,” Huang Long said. Judging from the unstable fluctuations of the white light, it would likely take another half month before the Holy Light Stone emerged. Livia nodded, her brows furrowed, and said, “If the Holy Light Stone appears in half a month, it’s possible that Keller and his group have already reached this Ancient Corpse Abyss!” Although the three of them had crossed the Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays earlier than Keller’s group thanks to Huang Long’s array skills, with Keller’s group’s strength, they should be able to cross the Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays and reach this Ancient Corpse Abyss in half a month. If that happened, trouble might arise. Keller and his group also wanted to obtain the Holy Light Stone. Huoyang nodded and said, “By then, when they arrive at this Ancient Corpse Abyss, it won’t be hard for them to find out where the Holy Light Stone was born on this demon island!” Initially, Huoyang only planned to help Huang Long cross the Cambrian Abyss when they reached the seventh layer of the River of Xuanyang, then sever ties with him. But from the first layer of the River of Xuanyang to this fifth layer, the Ancient Corpse Abyss, Huoyang gradually began to see himself as part of this small group. He was as worried as Livia. Huang Long smiled calmly and said, “Don’t worry. Even if Keller’s group arrives, it won’t matter!” Livia and Huoyang looked at him in confusion. Huang Long remained silent with a smile, then soared into the air. Numerous jade stones appeared around him. He formed spells with his hands, and intricate array seals emerged out of thin air before being implanted into these jade stones. After several hours, with a wave of his hands, these jade stones fell around the demon island. When they landed, beams of light shot upward from all around the island. At that moment, Livia and Huoyang, who were somewhat dazzled, flew forward. Livia laughed and said, “I forgot—after all, you’re our master of arrays. With the arrays you set up, even if Keller’s group tries to enter the island, they won’t be able to. When the Holy Light Stone appears, they’ll be outside the island, unable to do anything but watch!” The array Huang Long had set up on Silver Fox Mountain was powerful enough to trap Leo, Opot, and Hibere as well. Huoyang also laughed and said, “Keller’s group must be furious!” Livia and Huoyang smiled.

Huang Long shook his head. “Time is short. The formation I’ve set up can only hold them off for a few days. If they come by then and the Holy Light Stone still hasn’t appeared, things will likely get troublesome.” Moreover, this time it’s not just Leo and the others—there’s also Keller! It’s possible that Eidehai and the Muris might turn against us as well.
So, the situation isn’t very optimistic.
Upon hearing this, Livia and Huoyang’s joyful expressions vanished.
“Even if they manage to break through the formation and enter the island, if they want to get this Holy Light Stone, they’ll have to pay a price!” Livia said firmly.
Huang Long added, “I’ll do my best to use the formation to delay them. As soon as you get the Holy Light Stone, leave the Demon Island!” Huang Long knew that Livia also needed this stone, so he would try his best to buy her time.
In the days that followed while waiting for the Holy Light Stone to appear, Huang Long set up many more formations around the Demon Island.
Time passed slowly.
As days went by, the fluctuating milky white light grew more intense, and its range continued to expand, covering an area of nearly ten thousand square miles.
High above the center of the Demon Island, everything was illuminated by this milky white light.
Livia stood beside it, watching the increasingly intense light, her face growing more anxious.
The Beast Emperor Pearl, the Holy Light Stone, and the sixth layer of the Mysterious Yellow Bloodline! She wanted all three.
Ten days passed.
One day, just as Huang Long finished setting up a large formation, he suddenly looked into the distance. At that moment, Livia and Huoyang also followed his gaze and saw several figures approaching at extreme speed.
Keller, Leo, Opot, Hibrey!
Huang Long’s eyes narrowed—Keller and the others had finally arrived!
Livia and Huoyang’s expressions turned grave. Their worst fears had come true—the Holy Light Stone hadn’t appeared yet, but Keller and the others had already reached the Ancient Corpse Abyss!
With their arrival, four powerful pressures surged forward, causing the swamps around to sink hundreds of meters.
Huang Long stood atop the Demon Island, his expression calm. The incoming waves of pressure were stopped by an invisible force before they reached the island.
“Hehe, Huang Long, didn’t expect us to arrive so quickly, did you?” From afar, Keller’s voice echoed, like waves rolling in, shaking the surrounding space.
Leo, Opot, and Hibrey remained silent, but their eyes burned with cold fury, and the air around them froze wherever they passed.

Livia and Huoyang approached the Yellow Dragon and stood beside it, facing the four members of Keller’s group. In the blink of an eye, the four of them arrived in front of the Demon Island. As they arrived, the Yellow Dragon thought for a moment, waved his hands, and suddenly pillars of light rose around the island, blocking the four of Keller completely. “A formation barrier!” Keller stepped back, hovering high in the air, and spoke in a deep voice. Leo, Opot, and Hibere looked troubled—this formation barrier was clearly set up by the Yellow Dragon. The battle at Silver Fox Mountain still lingered vividly in their minds. “Yellow Dragon, do you really think this crappy formation can stop us four?!” Keller sneered coldly. Yet, despite his words, he was still wary of the formation the Yellow Dragon had created. Although he hadn’t gone to Silver Fox Mountain with Leo and the others, he could imagine how trapped they must have been by the formation. Moreover, the Silver Fox Mountain formation had taken the Yellow Dragon a month to set up; given enough time, its power could be even greater. “Then try it,” the Yellow Dragon said indifferently. A cold glint appeared in Keller’s eyes as he slowly said, “When I break through the formation, it will be your death day. This time, you won’t be as lucky as last time and escape!” With that, his body emitted a golden glow, and he struck out with a palm. Wherever his palm force reached, the air above froze. Seeing this, Leo and the others also took action. The Yellow Dragon quickly brought out the five-directional flags, summoning auspicious clouds. He chanted spells with both hands, activating the formation he had set up around the Demon Island. Instantly, cold light flashed, killing intent filled the air, seas of fire spread everywhere, and sword energy surged. As the Yellow Dragon activated the formation, Keller and his group launched their attacks. Amidst the thunderous noise, the world shook violently, and thick toxic water from ancient corpses splashed thousands of miles in all directions around the island. Inside the island, the Yellow Dragon was forced to stagger back. “Yellow Dragon!” Livia rushed to his side, concerned. “How are you?” The Yellow Dragon shook his head, signaling he was fine, and said, “Be careful of the Holy Light Stone!” The Holy Light Stone was about to appear, and the Yellow Dragon reminded Livia to seize the opportunity to take it and escape first. Livia’s beautiful eyes held a complex expression as she said, “I know.” Seeing that their attacks were blocked by the formation around the island, Keller and his group grew grim and launched another fierce assault. Yet, they were cautious, afraid of falling into the Yellow Dragon’s formation.
