Chapter 0985: The Heavenly Mandate

The vice leader of the Star-Destroying Sect was flying over to join forces with the sect’s leader to deal a fatal blow to Huang Long Chongran. In his mind, with both of them working together, it wasn’t impossible to severely injure or even kill Huang Long.
After all, Huang Long fought with bare hands, while the two of them wielded divine artifacts at the lower level of the Great Path Divine Artifacts.
Yet, halfway through his flight, he saw the leader of the Star-Destroying Sect get blasted away by Huang Long’s punch and then sink deep into the mountains of the Heaven-Toppling Demon Mountain like a dead dog.
Inside the Heaven-Toppling Demon Mountain, rocks tumbled down. A huge hole in human shape appeared—terrifying in the eyes of him and the other demons of the Star-Destroying Sect. Cracks kept spreading around the hole.
Seeing this, the vice leader of the Star-Destroying Sect was so terrified that he stopped in mid-air. His body trembled, his face turned pale, as he stared at Huang Long in disbelief.
“You, you!” His arm holding the great sword became stiff as if paralyzed, unable to lift it.
Huang Long turned to look at him.
The vice leader jumped in fright and retreated in panic, “This, this lord, we… it wasn’t… it wasn’t what you think. What do you mean ‘what I think’? He couldn’t speak.
At that moment, Huang Long flashed forward and appeared in front of him.
“What wasn’t it?” Huang Long asked coldly.
“It wasn’t!” The vice leader tried to speak but was immediately blasted by Huang Long’s punch. A blood hole appeared in his chest, extending from the front to the back. His divine armor shattered and flew apart.
Like the sect leader, the vice leader also crashed into the Heaven-Toppling Demon Mountain.
Huang Long said coldly, “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it!” With that, he flashed forward, appeared in front of the two, and used his hands to pull their divine bodies out of the mountain.
After pulling out their bodies, Huang Long put their divine bodies and divine artifacts into the Sacred Cauldron.
After finishing this, Huang Long glanced at the demons in the Heaven-Toppling Demon Mountain. All of them trembled in fear and retreated, while the other semi-sages fled in panic.
Huang Long glanced at those fleeing demon lords and sneered. It was true that the demons in the World of Ten Thousand Demons were the most selfish.
But Huang Long didn’t chase after them—he was too lazy. He simply flashed away and left the Heaven-Toppling Demon Mountain.
It was only after a long time that the demons of the Star-Destroying Sect in the Heaven-Toppling Demon Mountain dared to approach cautiously to the place where Huang Long had killed the sect’s leader and vice leader.
With the leaders dead, the Star-Destroying Sect lost its leader, and its demons fought over the position of leader. Eventually, the sect split apart and disappeared from the World of Ten Thousand Demons.
That was the aftermath.

After leaving the Heaven-Subverting Demon Mountain, Yellow Dragon directly tore apart the world crystal wall of the World of Ten Thousand Demons and left that world. After departing, he propelled the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron to fly swiftly through the vast cosmic space. “Young master, where are we going now? Jun Xuan, Chi Rong, and Ye Hua are dead. With their status in the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Central Sacred Lord will surely be enraged and issue an order to capture us!” Ok said anxiously along the way. The deaths of Jun Xuan, Chi Rong, and Ye Hua, three important disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, would surely shock the Three Thousand Great Worlds, especially Jun Xuan, the fifth disciple under the Central Sacred Lord. A disciple with the strength of ten eras is always a key figure in any sacred sect. Such disciples have great talent and a chance to achieve sainthood in the future! Huang Yi and the others also looked worried. “It’s fine; they won’t be able to find us!” Yellow Dragon said calmly. He had the World Tree, the Chaos Bell, the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, and sacred-grade great artifacts that could interfere with the laws of fate. Even the Central Sacred Lord couldn’t determine Yellow Dragon’s location. “However, if the Central Sacred Lord wants to capture me, it’s too dangerous for you to stay by my side. I’ll send you to a safe place first!” Yellow Dragon continued thoughtfully. “Send us to a safe place?!” Rivia and the others were stunned, then their expressions changed: “Yellow Dragon, what about you?” Yellow Dragon raised his hand, his tone resolute: “There’s no need to discuss it. I’ve made up my mind!” He wanted to help them improve their strength with his own power, but staying with him was becoming increasingly dangerous. So, he planned to let them find a safe place to train, and once he achieved sainthood and returned to the time of Pangu, he would take them there. But where could that safe place be?! Yellow Dragon frowned. Many of the Three Thousand Great Worlds had forces of the Heavenly Dao Sect, so he couldn’t send them there. Return to the Hongmeng Great World? That wouldn’t work either! The Heavenly Dao Sect would surely trace his origins. After much deliberation with no solution, he decided to put the issue aside for now. Then, with a gesture of his hands, he took out the two halves of the Heaven-Subverting Map from the space of the Sacred Cauldron. When the two halves were combined, light burst forth, and various scenes appeared on the map. “Is this the Thunder Sea Abyss?!” Ok exclaimed in shock upon seeing those scenes. Everyone was stunned and watched the constantly changing images closely. As the scenes shifted, they finally stopped above a valley. This must be where the Heaven-Subverting Treasury was located. Everyone looked at Ok.

Ouke shook his head. “I don’t know about this valley either. But judging from the changes we just saw, it should be in the northern area of the Thunder Sea Abyss!”
“Then let’s head to the Thunder Sea Abyss!” said Huang Long, his eyes gleaming. Initially, he thought it didn’t matter whether they could retrieve the Heaven-Reversing Treasure Map or not. But now, he had an idea: to take everyone there to cultivate!
From the changes in the scene earlier, it seemed to be the Nameless Valley. Without the guidance of the Heaven-Reversing Treasure Map, no one would be able to find it.
Moreover, within the Thunder Sea Abyss, divine thunder filled the sky and thunder beasts abounded—making it an excellent place for safe cultivation!
Immediately, Huang Long activated the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron and sent it toward the Thunder Sea Abyss.
As the Sacred Cauldron headed there, Huang Long began to enter seclusion. He needed to hurry and refine the divine bodies of Jun Xuan and the others to help himself break through and achieve sanctity as soon as possible. Only by becoming a saint could Huang Long have the strength to protect himself against the mighty Tian Dao Sect.
However, with his current strength, only the life essence and primordial energy of the four divine bodies—Chi Rong, Jun Xuan, and the two leaders of the Star-Destroying Sect—could be useful to him according to the laws of the great path.
So, Huang Long ordered Huang Yi, Livia, Susan, Vitya, and others to absorb the divine bodies of the six disciples of the Tian Dao Sect.
Huang Long sat cross-legged in the space of the Sacred Cauldron. With a mere grasp of his hands, he drew out Chi Rong’s divine body.
“By devouring this Chi Rong, I should be able to reach the peak of the middle stage of ten eras!” Huang Long thought to himself.
While Huang Long and his companions rushed to enhance their strength, a news spread across the three thousand great worlds, shocking all gods, demons, monsters, ghosts, Buddhas, and immortals.
“What?! The fifth, seventh, and ninth disciples under the Central Saint of the Tian Dao Sect have been killed?!”
“Who? Who dares to kill the disciples of the Central Saint?! Could it be some sage?! Did Jun Xuan, Chi Rong, and the others offend some sage?!”
“It’s not a sage. It’s said this person is named Huang Long!”
“The Tian Dao Order has been issued: whoever captures Huang Long will be rewarded with a top-tier great path artifact and a hundred top-tier spiritual veins!”
