Chapter 0918: Arrival in the Star King’s Great World

Chi Rong was preparing to deliver the final blow, aiming to completely destroy the Three Thousand Hongmeng Divine Beast Formation of the Heavenly and Earthly Sacred Cauldron. Suddenly, space roared as a massive golden fist burst through the sacred cauldron and rushed toward him.
“This?!” Chi Rong was shocked. Without time to think, he swung his long sword, sending countless streams of sword energy to confront that enormous golden fist.
Each of these tens of thousands of sword streams carried an attack force a hundred thousand times, even a million times stronger than the sword strike he had used to save Ye Hua’s six disciples!
“Boom!” A deafening explosion shook the entire universe. Countless shockwaves spread in all directions.
The massive golden fist continued its assault, shattering those tens of thousands of sword streams before charging at him once again!
Frightened, Chi Rong immediately mobilized all his strength. A golden glow enveloped his body, and a huge wheel-like silhouette appeared behind him.
“The Wheel of Heavenly Dao!”
This Wheel of Heavenly Dao was far more powerful than the one created by Ye Hua’s six disciples combined, with a much clearer image. It resembled the cross-section of a giant tree, with layers upon layers—each layer seemingly representing a separate world—totaling over six hundred layers!
Within these six hundred layers were all things: gods, divine beasts, sacred mountains, and primordial formations.
The Wheel of Heavenly Dao met the massive golden fist.
Another loud explosion echoed in the sky as both the wheel and the fist shattered apart. Chi Rong’s body jolted violently as he was struck by a tremendous force, sending him flying backward.
“Pfft!” Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body passed through countless giant planets. In the blink of an eye, these planets exploded from within, turning into fragments scattered across the universe.
“The Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Formation!”
“Kid, I’ll let you go for now. But one day, Chi Rong will take your life!”
“Next time, I’ll make you pay a thousand times, ten thousand times over!”
Chi Rong was flung billions of miles away before vanishing in a flash.
He had escaped!
Huang Long fully activated the Eighteen Golden Gods Annihilation Formation, and the golden god strike he conjured was comparable to that of a warrior from ten eras! That single strike severely wounded Chi Rong!
Seeing this, Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief, filled with joy. Yet his face turned pale as he felt extreme weakness spreading through his body. He could barely muster any magical power!
Although he had successfully activated the formation and severely wounded Chi Rong, driving him away, the cost was enormous—hundred first-class spiritual veins and five king-class spiritual veins!
A hundred first-class spiritual veins were equivalent to one king-class vein, meaning together they amounted to six king-class veins!
At the thought of this, Huang Long felt intense pain.
“Second brother!”
“Young master!”

Huang Liang, Ao Ke, and the others came forward, all with expressions of surprise.
“Young master, you actually severely wounded that Chi Rong? He escaped?!” Ao Ke could hardly believe it.
Huang Long smiled; this outcome was also a great surprise to him.
“What should we do now, Second Brother? Chase after that Chi Rong?!” Huang Yi asked.
Huang Long shook his head. Although Chi Rong was severely injured, he was still one of the nine peak warriors of their era. Huang Long wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could kill nine such peak warriors with his current strength.
“Brother Huang Long, that Chi Rong is likely to return. We must be extremely careful. How about you come with us to the Star King World? If he dares to come there, hum, I guarantee he won’t return!” said Xing Hai Yuan, his face filled with hatred when mentioning Chi Rong.
Everyone looked at Huang Long, waiting for his decision.
“Go to the Star King World?” Huang Long pondered for a while before saying, “Alright, let’s go to the Star King World!”
The Chaos Bell absorbed the Mid-Level Great Path Divine Artifact, the Earth Hidden Star Heart Pearl, which contained the power of innate stars. Its effect was much better than absorbing other Mid-Level Great Path Divine Artifacts. Therefore, Huang Long decided to go to the Star King World to obtain two more such artifacts. Once absorbed by the Chaos Bell, it would fully restore its former peak power!
Although Huang Long now had the Eighteen Golden Divine Annihilation Array, allowing him to face half-saints from below the tenth era without fear, each activation came at a huge cost—six King-Level Spiritual Veins! With his current financial resources, he couldn’t afford such expenses multiple times.
Immediately, Huang Long activated the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron to fly at high speed toward the Star King World. Inside the cauldron, Huang Long swallowed the Supreme Divine Pill, gradually restoring his magical power. Huang Yi and the others also entered seclusion to recover from their injuries.
“That Chi Rong, along with those nine peak half-saints, already possess such terrifying strength. One can only imagine what those ten era half-saints are like. If it were Qing Cang, the top disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, attacking, even with the Eighteen Golden Divine Annihilation Array, I might still perish!” After recovering from his injuries, Huang Long felt relieved.
If Qing Cang, at the peak of twelve eras, were to attack, Huang Long and the others would likely meet only one fate—death!
Huang Long became even more eager to improve his strength. Absolute strength! As long as he could break through to the tenth era and further refine the Supreme Transformation Art, even Qing Cang wouldn’t be able to kill him! If he reached the peak of twelve eras, even a saint in the early stages of the Hunyuan Supreme Realm wouldn’t be able to defeat him!
“Practice, practice, more practice!” Huang Long vanished and entered seclusion once again.
Now, every day was crucial for Huang Long.

During this period of seclusion, Huang Long practiced the Supreme Transformation Art while also cultivating the Hongmeng Great Path to elevate his realm. Initially, he had no intention of devouring or refining the Doumu Immortal Mansion, but this time, he couldn’t care less. He activated the Supreme Transformation Art and consumed the entire mansion, turning it into part of his own body. However, this time, he discovered that when he transformed the Doumu Immortal Mansion into part of his body, his core strength and defense improved, and even the thirty-three divine artifacts and the Dragon Gate also saw enhancements! “This?!” Huang Long was both pleased and worried. He was pleased because if his core reached the level of a Great Path Divine Artifact, those thirty-three artifacts and the Dragon Gate would also reach that level. He was worried because the Great Path Divine Artifacts he would need to devour in the future would have to be at an terrifying level! Where could he find so many Great Path Divine Artifacts?! Huang Long was silent. Fortunately, Chi Rong didn’t appear again. A month later, Huang Long and the others arrived safely in the Star King Great World. “Brother Huang Long, don’t you plan to go to the Falling Star Palace with me? You saved my life; I owe you one. If you go to the Falling Star Palace and have a request, I’ll ask our father to help you fulfill it!” asked Xing Haiyuan. Upon arriving in the Star King Great World, he hadn’t expected Huang Long not to accompany him to the Falling Star Palace. Huang Long smiled and said, “I still have matters to attend to. I’ll visit the Falling Star Palace later!” One month equaled 300,000 years. During these 300,000 years, aside from cultivating, Huang Long often discussed the Great Path with Xing Haiyuan. Xing Haiyuan was someone worth associating with. However, although he was trustworthy, Huang Long currently possessed treasures like the Chaos Bell, so it wasn’t convenient for him to go to the Falling Star Palace with him.
