Chapter 632 - 628: Severing Your Arm

Chapter 632: Chapter 628: Severing Your Arm

"Go to hell!"

The Lion King roared, his feet stomping the ground as Yin Yang Battle Qi began to swirl around his body.

Qi and blood surged like a dragon from beneath his skin, casting a crimson glow in the air. The turbulent waves of his aura pulsed with terrifying power.

His palm strike transformed in an instant.

In a flash, it grew as large as a mountain, crashing down with the force of Mount Tai Pressing Down.

The immense pressure was simply unparalleled.

Hong Yu stood quietly. Behind him, a thousand gruesome heads swirled, entangled in the Biluo Immortal Vine. They writhed and danced like the wild, world-shaking hair of a frenzied demon.

It was a display of unparalleled dominance and gore.

"Great Destruction Fist!"

Utterly fearless, Hong Yu threw a punch.

As the Clan Leader of one of the Four Great Tribes of the Nanshan Collection, the Lion King’s combat prowess was astonishing. He was unquestionably one of the most elite beings in the Central Area.

Even in the core area, his strength would still be ranked among the best!

What ordinary powerhouse wouldn’t tremble in fear before him?

But Hong Yu possessed the composure to remain unfazed even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him. He was like an unmoving Wisdom King, his eyes burning like torches. It was as if some primeval power was awakening in his mind. The power coiled around his Fist Gang, amplified by the howling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, was incomparably potent.

The terrifying aura of his Fist Gang forcibly created a vacuum in the space before him.

This was the second form of the Great Destruction Fist—Heaven and Earth Without Me!

With this one punch, there was nothing but him between heaven and earth. Everything else had to collapse into nothingness.

BOOM!

Hong Yu’s fist and the Lion King’s fist exploded against each other in mid-air. The two completely different energies repelled and clashed, creating a raging storm that swept outward.

It was so powerful it made one’s heart leap in terror!

"You audacious brat! I’ll tear you limb from limb and ensure your soul can never be reincarnated!" the Lion King spat viciously, his eyes like cold vipers, blazing with supreme fury.

"Lion King Undying Body!"

The Lion King threw his head back and roared.

A layer of golden light suddenly appeared on his body, like a Golden Bell descending from the heavens to envelop him.

THUD! THUD!

His body seemed to become incredibly heavy.

Each step he took was like the tolling of a morning bell. This was a Divine Technique. With the Golden Bell protecting his body, the Lion King was immovable—a decisive Combat Skill that made him virtually indestructible.

"Lion King Fist!"

The Lion King strode through the air toward him.

His power was so immense that the void beneath his feet crumbled with each step, unleashing torrents of spatial storms. A single wisp of these storms could annihilate a Primordial Embryo Realm Powerhouse and severely injure a Primordial Spirit Realm Powerhouse, yet under the protection of the Lion King’s Golden Bell, they had no effect on him whatsoever.

These terrifyingly violent spatial storms could only leave behind faint white marks on the Golden Bell.

It was simply unimaginable!

’What powerful defense!’

Hong Yu licked his somewhat dry lips.

’This Lion King is just too strong!’

But awe was one thing; the battle could not afford a single moment of carelessness. Hong Yu tapped his feet on the ground to maintain a retreating posture while simultaneously commanding the Biluo Immortal Vine to send a green tide of tendrils surging toward the Lion King.

"Get lost!"

The light of the Golden Bell around the Lion King flared, and golden flames erupted, preventing the Biluo Immortal Vine from getting close.

Just as he was about to catch up, Xingtian, who was guarding Hong Yu’s side, suddenly rushed forward. The Devouring Demon Tree instantly grew hundreds of feet tall, swaying with a terrifying black radiance as it threw a punch at the Lion King.

BAM!

The Lion King’s body barely shuddered, but Xingtian was sent flying.

After all, he was only a Fifth-Tribulation Execution Corpse and was no match for a War Emperor.

Xingtian was about to charge again, but Hong Yu waved a hand and recalled him into the pagoda’s space. It was clearly unwise to let Xingtian face him head-on at a time like this.

"Eh? You have such treasures? Haha, hand them all over to me..."

The Lion King laughed maniacally, a greedy red light flashing in his eyes as he charged once more.

"Damn it!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Hong Yu’s eyes as he rapidly calculated his options.

’The Lion King’s combat power is too great. I can’t fight him head-on with my current strength. On top of his supreme cultivation, his Spiritual Power is also considerable. Something like my Pupil Technique: Sky-covering would have no effect on him at all.’

’If I try to force it, I might even suffer a spiritual backlash that would weaken my own combat power.’

’As for escaping?’

’The Lion King is not like Ape Qitian or Lion Ridge, who have only just entered the War Emperor realm. He’s an absolute powerhouse among War Emperors, capable of tearing open the void. How could I possibly escape from him? Even with the help of my Divine Demon Wings, it would be like a tortoise racing a hare!’

’The only way is to catch him off guard and launch a sneak attack with the Wisdom King Movement.’

At this thought, a resolute light flickered in Hong Yu’s eyes. With a flash, he shot into the air.

"Hmph, where do you think you’re going!"

The Lion King snorted and also soared into the sky in pursuit.

For a moment, the entire ultimate battlefield was once again shaken, plunged into a state of inexplicable, heart-pounding excitement.

In the sky, Hong Yu shot forward at high speed. Behind him, the Biluo Immortal Vine, still binding a thousand heads, flew through the air. Blood saturated the air, falling like a gory rain, and a dense Evil Qi nearly condensed into a storm cloud.

Menacingly, the Lion King, shrouded in his Golden Bell, gave relentless chase.

"Bring it on!"

Hong Yu suddenly spun around, and one hundred and eight Feathered Flying Knives howled through the air.

These one hundred and eight Feathered Flying Knives glowed with a blue light. Under Hong Yu’s control, they abruptly converged in mid-air to form an Ice Blue Phoenix.

The Phoenix beat its wings, looking startlingly lifelike.

It suddenly shot into the clouds, then beat its massive blue wings and dove straight down.

"Hidden Weapons? A petty trick..."

The Lion King snorted, making no move to defend himself, confident that his Lion King Undying Body could withstand such a minor sneak attack.

But soon, the triumphant look on his face stiffened.

When the Ice Blue Phoenix formed by the Feathered Flying Knives slammed into the Golden Bell, he suddenly realized that these were no ordinary Hidden Weapons. They actually contained a trace of Phoenix True Flame!

How powerful was a Phoenix?

At its peak, a mere fingernail-sized speck of Phoenix True Flame could incinerate an entire mountain range.

Even though the Feathered Flying Knives only contained a trace of the Phoenix True Flame’s aura, absorbed by the Ancient Phoenix Tree over countless years, it was still enough to burn a large hole in the Golden Bell. As the Ice Blue Phoenix swept past, the Golden Bell trembled and hummed, and a gap about half a meter wide appeared.

Hong Yu had been waiting for an opportunity. Seeing this, his eyes lit up. ’Now’s my chance!’

SWISH!

He suddenly activated Electric Flash.

Hong Yu’s figure vanished, reappearing at the Lion King’s side. His right hand shone with a golden light, and his brow furrowed in concentration as he roared, "You want me dead? Then I’ll take your arm first!"

His voice was powerful and resonant, as if he had swallowed the essence of the sun and moon.

How strong was an arm fused with the Venerable Golden Bone?

At this moment, Hong Yu could tear a Sixth-Grade Primordial Weapon apart with his bare hands. With the Wisdom King Movement activating the Venerable Golden Bone, its sharpness was pushed to the absolute limit.

SHING! SHING! SHING!

Five golden claw marks, like five long rainbows, tore through the air, trailing specks of starlight.

"Get lost!"

The Lion King flew into a rage and swatted at him.

But he soon regretted it!

Just moments ago, the trace of Phoenix True Flame from the Feathered Flying Knives had burned a gap in his Lion King Undying Body, which had not yet been repaired. Coincidentally, Hong Yu’s attack angle was precisely calculated and planned, so the Lion King’s sweep extended his right arm directly out of the Golden Bell’s protection.

SQUELCH!

The golden claws flashed, and blood splattered everywhere.

A rain of blood flew through the air, dyeing a large patch of the sky red.

"AHH... My arm? You bastard..."

The Lion King reacted instantly, realizing that Hong Yu had actually severed his right arm. His eyes looked ready to split from their sockets. With a furious roar, he smashed down with his left fist.

’Not good!’

Hong Yu hastily raised both arms to block.

BANG!

The blow slammed viciously into his arms. Hong Yu’s body shook violently, and he felt as if his head had been kicked by a giant elephant, sending him into a dizzying stupor.

Immediately, a searing pain shot through both of his arms.

The bones in his left arm were nearly shattered, covered in a web of fine fractures. If not for the protection of the Venerable Golden Bone in his right arm, its fate would have been no better.

Moreover...

The Lion King’s punch had been thrown in a rage. Its immense power ruptured more than half of Hong Yu’s internal organs.

His organs felt as if they were being scorched by flames.

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of hot blood.

His vision was tinted red.

But he didn’t dare to hesitate for even a second. Forcing himself to ignore his severe internal injuries, he flapped his Divine Demon Wings and shot backward.

But just as he flew out of the War God Arena, a giant black club suddenly fell from the sky.

In the distance, a colossal Battle Ape with silver fur radiating a monstrous killing intent strode through the air. It brought its massive club down, and with a THWACK, viciously batted Hong Yu back the way he came.

BOOM!

Hong Yu’s body, like a falling star, crashed heavily onto the arena platform.

The platform instantly cracked and collapsed, leaving a funnel-shaped crater dozens of meters deep in the center of the arena.

Blood poured into the pit.

Blood trickled from Hong Yu’s mouth. His injuries were incredibly severe, and his Divine Demon Wings, nearly broken, twitched faintly.

He lay in a pool of blood, struggling to open his eyes, only to see the Lion King and the giant Battle Ape standing side-by-side.

This was none other than the Great Ape King, Ape Qitian’s father!

The Great Ape King held his giant club, his cold, furious eyes filled with crimson Demon Fire as he stared intently at Hong Yu. "Gagaga, you actually killed my son? Good, good! Today, no one in heaven or on earth can save you!"

But the Lion King raised a hand to stop him. His face was ghastly, his right arm gone. "Leave him to me. I will tear him to pieces, bite by bite. Then I will rip out his soul, burn it with battle fire, and throw it into the Soul-Dissolving Pool to slowly melt away, ensuring he can never rise again."

"The Soul-Dissolving Pool?"

Even the Great Ape King couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

The Soul-Dissolving Pool was a terrifying creation, refined by the Lion King’s father—the old man who had obtained the Witchcraft and Gu Technique.

He had once seen the Lion King toss the soul of an ordinary person into it. That soul was tormented for ten days and ten nights with tortures like burning, frying, piercing, and whipping before its True Spirit finally dissipated.

It was said that the stronger the victim, the longer the torture would last.

Then, a look of satisfaction spread across the Great Ape King’s face. "Good, good! That’s how it should be! Annihilate him with the Soul-Dissolving Pool and avenge our children!"

"Watch me finish him!"

A cold light gleamed in the Lion King’s eyes as he struck out with his palm.

But just then, a five-colored radiance suddenly descended from the sky, and with it came a towering figure. A calm voice, filled with an irresistible majesty, rang out...

"I am here. I’d like to see who dares to harm him!"
