Chapter 0970: The Fire King’s Zhengyang Bell
“This is the Hongmeng energy! The Formation of Three Thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts!” Donghuang Taiyi stared at the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, his face once again filled with shock. “Is it… the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth?!”
At that moment, the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth flew back to Huanglong.
Huanglong said calmly, “Take a strike from me too!” With that, a rainbow-colored golden light surged across his body. The Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron rose together, their radiant light illuminating all corners of the universe.
From the Chaos Bell, the power of primordial stars surged forth, giving birth to gods of primordial stars. These gods had various forms, but each was as mighty as an ancient giant. They all charged at Donghuang Taiyi with punches, while the Sacred Cauldron transformed into the Formation of Three Thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts, creating a Hongmeng vortex.
The Hongmeng vortex spun, crushing the space around Donghuang Taiyi, with terrifying forces constantly pressing in on him.
Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi grew solemn. He reached out and struck at those gods of primordial stars. At the same time, his body shimmered, and a giant golden crow form appeared. He spread his wings, and with a single flap, countless flaming blades flew out, targeting the Hongmeng vortex formed by the three thousand divine beasts.
A river of flames rushed through those gods of primordial stars and struck the Chaos Bell, sending it soaring into the air. The Hongmeng vortex also paused as a result, revealing the true form of the Sacred Cauldron.
But then, Huanglong darted forward.
The Golden God’s Strike!
A golden palm print large enough to cover an entire divine plane slammed toward Donghuang Taiyi. Alarmed, he spread his wings and darted away like a flame, just managing to avoid it.
Yet even so, the Golden God’s Strike scattered the primordial flames around his body. Donghuang Taiyi stepped back, stunned and furious.
Just moments ago, due to carelessness, he had almost been injured by what he considered a “little yellow dragon”!
It was like a supreme emperor suddenly being kicked by a commoner—worse still, the attacker had used the Chaos Bell against him. This was nothing short of mockery and insult.
The Chaos Bell should have belonged to him!
“Roar!” Donghuang Taiyi roared, his eyes blazing with anger. He fired two beams of golden fire, and at the same time, a giant bell appeared in his hand. The bell was entirely red, with streams of primordial flames swirling around it. On its surface were carved images of ancient golden crows and primordial fire beasts.
“This is the Fire King Zhengyang Bell?!” Huang Long was slightly surprised upon seeing it.
Although the Fire King Zhengyang Bell was not a sacred-grade path artifact, it still reached the pinnacle of supreme quality, ranking 106th on the list of path artifacts.
Though it was only in 106th place, its attack power was extremely strong—far surpassing that of the Spirit Communication Jade, a sacred-grade path artifact ranked 96th.
“You brat, take my attack!” Donghuang Taiyi soared into the air, with flames swirling around his body as he channeled them into the Fire King Zhengyang Bell before slapping it at Huang Long.
“Ball of Ten Thousand Flames!”
The Fire King Zhengyang Bell emitted the light of tens of millions of suns. Soon after, countless primordial fire essences converged, instantly forming a giant sun—more than twice the size of the Golden God Fist Mark.
The massive sun rolled forward and rushed toward Huang Long in an instant.
Huang Long’s eyes narrowed as he struck his Chaos Bell with his left hand, causing the primordial stars to gather into a river of stars. At the same time, he struck his Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron with his right hand, forming a river of Hongmeng from three thousand Hongmeng divine beasts.
The two rivers met head-on with the giant sun.
Boom! Boom!
Loud explosions echoed through the sky, like thunderclaps ringing incessantly.
Under the attack of the river of stars and the river of Hongmeng, the giant sun hesitated for a moment. Its flames scattered, shrinking in size and dimming significantly, yet it still continued to attack Huang Long.
At that moment, the Eighteen Golden God Annihilation Formation activated. The Golden God on Huang Long’s head swelled again as he threw a fierce punch toward the giant sun.
When the Golden God Fist Mark collided with the giant sun, both exploded violently, turning into countless beams of golden light and flames.
The universe seemed to shake, as if on the verge of collapse.
Huang Long was pushed back by the force.
Although his Chaos Bell and Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron were sacred-grade path artifacts, they could only exert less than 10% of their full power. In contrast, Donghuang Taiyi could utilize over half of the Fire King Zhengyang Bell’s power.
Coupled with the gap in strength between Donghuang Taiyi and Huang Long, Huang Long still fell short in this confrontation.
However, despite being at a disadvantage, Donghuang Taiyi couldn’t seriously harm Huang Long unless he broke through to the eleventh era and became a semi-saint of that era.
Huang Long watched his opponent indifferently.
After this fierce battle, he gained a clear understanding of Donghuang Taiyi’s strength. Though at a disadvantage, Huang Long had no intention of using the Spirit Communication Jade or the World Tree.
Seeing that his previous attack hadn’t harmed Huang Long, Donghuang Taiyi’s expression darkened.
Back in the days when the PanGu and Witch Tribe fought a great war, countless strong warriors from both tribes perished. He, who should have died as well, was later saved by Jin Wu Da Sheng, the ancestor of the Jin Wu tribe and a sage who had attained enlightenment. He was taught the Great Way, and over the years, Jin Wu Da Sheng personally trained him, having him consume numerous innate fire spirits, which enabled his strength to soar rapidly.
Yet, unexpectedly, upon his rebirth this time, he was unable to kill the little yellow dragon that had once seemed insignificant in his eyes.
“You truly exceed my expectations!” Dong Huang Tai Yi’s eyes flashed with flames as he spoke in a deep voice. “If Zhu Long were to know that one of his little yellow dragons from back then has achieved such greatness now, he would surely be pleased!”
In the ancient times of PanGu, he and Zhu Long also had some acquaintance.
While Hong Jun preached beyond the thirty-three heavens, they had both listened to the Great Way under his guidance.
Just as the yellow dragon was about to speak, it suddenly frowned. Several figures broke through the world crystal wall of the Chaotic Monster World and rushed toward them.
The two at the front were Fang Hao Tian and You Shi.
Seeing this, the yellow dragon activated the Eighteen Golden God Annihilation Formation, delivering a Golden God punch at Dong Huang Tai Yi. At the same time, it dashed away, using the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron to transform into a streak of light and vanish instantly.
Unprepared, Dong Huang Tai Yi was forced to retreat by the Golden God punch. By the time he regained his composure, the yellow dragon had already fled far away. Filled with anger and surprise, he transformed into his ancient Jin Wu form, spread his wings, and rushed after it.
“It’s that kid!” Fang Hao Tian shouted. “Let’s go quickly! He can’t escape!” A circle of boundless divine light surrounded him, increasing his speed even further.
You Shi, meanwhile, rolled black demonic flames around his body, matching Fang Hao Tian’s speed as he closely pursued.
Behind them were the Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix and others like Huang Bi.
Nevertheless, Fang Hao Tian and the others were gradually falling behind the yellow dragon. Now, with the strength of Huang Yi and others poured into the yellow dragon, its speed using the Sacred Cauldron was even faster than that of ten strong warriors from the early eras.
Only the yellow dragon and Dong Huang Tai Yi remained, moving back and forth through the cosmic space.
