Chapter 649 -645: A Clean Sweep

“Die!”

If there was anyone in the entire core region that Hong Yu hated most, it was undoubtedly the Eastern Divine City.

If it weren’t for the Eastern Divine City, why would he be hunted by so many powerful experts?

That was why he attacked with his full power from the very start, holding nothing back!

“Great Destruction Fist!”

“Spear Technique, Light Control—Unstoppable!”

One fist, one spear!

He unleashed two attacks at once, each one immensely powerful.

The Fist Gang shot forward like a terrifying Coiled Dragon, possessing the power to overturn heaven and earth. It smashed toward the Eastern Divine City experts within the Small Mountain and River Array like a mountain.

The punch was incredibly fast.

However, the experts in the Small Mountain and River Array were clearly seasoned veterans. With a unified shout, a terrifying wave of energy surged from them all at once.

The energy of more than thirty people converged, forming the phantom image of flowing mountains and rivers above their heads.

This was a Divine Seal.

Known as the Mountain and River Seal, it had suppressed countless experts during the Ancient Era.

If the true Mountain and River Seal were to descend, it could suppress an entire nation. But this was merely a Small Mountain and River Seal, so its power was naturally much weaker.

This Divine Seal shot forward.

It brutally slammed into the Fist Gang Hong Yu had unleashed. The resulting tidal wave of energy scattered the clouds for a hundred miles around. Where the energy struck the ground, a thousand-meter-tall peak was blasted apart, cracking into two halves.

It was as if an enraged deity had split the mountain with Supreme Divine Power.

At the same time, Hong Yu’s terrifying spear strike reached the Fire-Devouring King.

The golden draconic patterns coiling around the Godslaying Spear vibrated. Each Dragon Scale seemed to come alive, transforming into a tiny dragon that swam along the shaft, spewing an incomparably sharp Spear Aura capable of piercing the void and penetrating the earth.

Faced with such a blow, the Divine Bell on the Fire-Devouring King’s body flared with a brilliant golden light. The sound of “DONG! DONG!” reverberated through the heavens.

Layer after layer of golden soundwaves billowed out, stacking on top of each other and exploding wherever they met the Spear Aura.

“BANG!”

The Spear Aura and the soundwaves annihilated each other.

“Mountains and Rivers, Invert!”

The experts within the Small Mountain and River Array shouted in unison. Their expressions were solemn and majestic, as if a deity was directing their actions.

“VMMMM!”

The condensed Small Mountain and River Seal suddenly burst with terrifying radiance, so brilliant and dazzling that one could hardly look at it directly. Rushing rivers materialized from thin air, and mountain peaks descended from the sky.

The rivers flowed in reverse, a terrifying sight to behold.

It was as if the entire world was in the palm of their hands, pressing down on Hong Yu to suppress him.

“Bring it on!”

Hong Yu laughed heartily.

The dark gold Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame surged around him, its golden light swelling. The pupil in his right eye shifted, once again taking the form of the nine-petaled World-Burning Golden Lotus.

The dark gold flames condensed, forming a roaring dragon.

As the rivers touched the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame, they were instantly vaporized with a “HSSSSSS.”

The mountain peaks fell, but before they could even reach Hong Yu, they were incinerated by the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame and turned to ash.

“Unparalleled Divine Bell, Nine Dragons Take Flight!”

The Fire-Devouring King roared, his eyes seemingly erupting with Fire Dragons. Flames even spewed from his seven facial orifices.

He too was a master of fire!

Nine Fire Dragons surged forth from the Divine Bell. Their “AWOOOO” Dragon’s Roars shook the heavens and earth, causing the sky to lose its color and the sun and moon to dim.

“Playing with fire in front of me? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

The corners of Hong Yu’s lips curved up in a playful arc.

He tossed the Godslaying Spear high into the air and formed a Seal Technique with his hands. A ball of dark gold Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame condensed before his chest. Under the guidance of Hong Yu’s Spiritual Power, the fireball continuously changed shape.

In an instant, it had transformed into an Ancient Beast.

“Go!”

Hong Yu grunted and thrust his hands forward.

“RUMBLE!”

The fiery Ancient Beast dove out, its entire body formed from condensed flames.

This Ancient Beast had a resounding name—the Three-legged Golden Crow!

The Three-legged Golden Crow was a Venerable among Flame Wild Beasts, with a status on par with a Phoenix. As it dove, it seemed to come to life, letting out a piercing cry to the heavens.

“BOOM!”

The Three-legged Golden Crow swooped past.

It charged into the encirclement of Fire Dragons, its dominance instantly on full display.

One of its fiery claws shot out, seizing a Fire Dragon’s head. With a sharp twist, it decapitated the dragon, whose body immediately disintegrated.

It then charged toward the second and third Fire Dragons.

Its pair of fiery wings flapped, and with two “SWOOSHES,” they stirred up a strange, dark gold storm. Wherever the storm passed, the Fire Dragons’ bodies instantly collapsed, turning into specks of Star Fire that rained down from the sky.

The battle ended with incredible speed.

The Three-legged Golden Crow ultimately crushed all nine Fire Dragons and charged toward the Fire-Devouring King.

‘Dammit…’

The Fire-Devouring King’s gaze flickered violently. Although he could devour many types of flames, having already consumed ninety-nine powerful ones and even ventured deep into the blazing magma of a volcano to find potent Earth Fire, even that magma couldn’t harm him!

But faced with the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame!

This was a flame that ranked third in the world! He didn’t dare even try to swallow it. If he failed, he would truly be playing with fire and get burned!

“Divine Bell, Shake the Heavens!”

The Fire-Devouring King’s eyes were cold as the Divine Bell enveloped his body.

“RUMBLE!”

The Three-legged Golden Crow slammed into it, knocking the Divine Bell back several hundred meters. The scorching temperature made the Divine Bell tremble violently.

But with the ninety-nine Fire Dragon patterns swimming across its surface, it managed to block the attack.

At the same time, “DONG! DONG! DONG!”

Three vigorous and deep chimes rang out from the Divine Bell.

Each chime seemed to come from ancient times, carrying a vast and boundless aura. The golden ripples surged forward and shattered the Three-legged Golden Crow.

“Hmm?”

Hong Yu’s eyes lit up. ‘This Fire-Devouring King really has some skill!’

The Fire-Devouring King shot Hong Yu a vicious glare. He knew he couldn’t continue this fight.

If he were facing other experts, even someone at the level of a Lord of a Divine City, the Fire-Devouring King would have the confidence to fight.

But against Hong Yu, who possessed the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame, the Fire-Devouring King had no will to battle.

It wasn’t that Hong Yu’s absolute strength far surpassed a Divine King’s.

It was that the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame was simply too perverse. Not only could it incinerate everything, but it also possessed the terrifying ability to plunder life force.

He had no desire to end up like the Snake King, stripped of his life force like a dead tree and then burned alive by the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame.

His eyes darted around, and the Fire-Devouring King roared, “Everyone, listen up! Attack Hong Yu with everything you’ve got!”

“ROAR!”

“KILL!”

The experts from the Eastern Divine City roared and attacked once more.

This time, it wasn’t the Small Mountain and River Seal. They condensed their power into a colossal hand, hundreds of meters wide, with five fingers that seemed to reach the heavens.

“SWISH!”

The massive hand shot out and slammed into the ground.

The thirty-plus experts shouted in unison, their faces flushed red. With a “RUMMMBLE,” the giant hand actually ripped an entire mountain range from the earth, severing its connection to the ground.

Countless living creatures were flung away.

The mountain range was a thousand meters long. Amplified by the Small Mountain and River Array operated by over thirty Divine Generals, it transformed into a weapon in their hands, lashing toward Hong Yu like a giant whip.

Hong Yu was secretly dumbfounded, then overjoyed. ‘The power of an Array is this immense? Haha, I must get my hands on this Small Mountain and River Array! I’ll give it to the experts of the Hong Alliance to cultivate. The Hong Alliance will have another trump card!’

But the most important thing right now was to deal with the immediate threat.

“Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant!”

A surging black aura churned wildly, condensing behind him into the massive phantom of a Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant was only about fifty meters tall. Compared to the hundred-meter-tall hand and the thousand-meter-long mountain range, it certainly looked much smaller.

But its power was not to be underestimated!

“ROAR!”

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant let out a great roar.

Its four hooves stomped on the void, as if rooting themselves in the air.

Then… its long trunk suddenly whipped out. Amidst a “RUMBLE” of black energy, the trunk grew to several hundred meters long and wrapped directly around the massive mountain range.

“WHOOSH!”

The moment it wrapped around, Hong Yu and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant were no match for the combined power of the thirty-plus experts. They were violently whipped away from their original position, flung through the air.

Seeing this, the Fire-Devouring King on the side broke into an excited smile. “We should be able to win this time! No matter how strong Hong Yu is, he’s only at the Primordial Embryo Realm. He hasn’t even condensed a Mystical Dharma Aspect yet. With the combined power of the Divine Generals in the Small Mountain and River Array, we should be able to suppress him!”

The many experts within the Small Mountain and River Array also showed looks of ecstasy.

They too believed Hong Yu’s defeat was certain!

But the triumphant looks on their faces soon vanished.

Because… Hong Yu and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant were only flung back a few hundred meters before two “BOOMS” of stomping on the void were heard. A terrifying blaze erupted from the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant’s body.

It had forcefully halted its momentum.

“ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!”

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant roared madly. It was clearly enraged that it had been at a disadvantage in a contest of strength.

Then, as the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant held the mountain range tight, Hong Yu’s hands hovered in the air, palms facing each other as if he himself were gripping the mountain range.

“A contest of strength? You’re still far too weak!”

Hong Yu’s face was already beet red from exertion.

Even though his strength was terrifying, there was still a gap when compared to the combined power of over thirty Divine Generals fused by the Small Mountain and River Array.

At a time like this, the contest came down to sheer ferocity!

“GET LOST!”

A terrifying voice like muffled thunder, like a sudden clap of thunder, exploded from Hong Yu’s chest.

His body began to swing.

He started spinning on the spot like a top. The rotation was slow at first, but it grew faster and faster, becoming a whirlwind.

“RUMBLE!”

He swung the entire mountain range around. The thirty-plus Divine Generals within the Small Mountain and River Array lost their balance and were flung high into the air by Hong Yu amidst a series of screams.

One spin!

Two spins!

Three spins…

After dozens of rotations, Hong Yu abruptly stopped, bringing the thousand-meter mountain range crashing down toward the ground.

“BOOM!”

The world shook, and the sun and moon paled.

The thousand-meter mountain range smashed into the ground, gouging out a ten-thousand-meter-long rift valley. The mountain range shattered section by section, turning to dust.

At the end of the mountain range’s path,

the Small Mountain and River Array had already collapsed. The thirty-plus Divine Generals lay scattered amidst the rubble, their status unknown.

A clean sweep!

A single person had swept away the combined force of more than thirty Divine Generals. This scene left the Fire-Devouring King dumbfounded and in disbelief, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

Hong Yu gasped for breath, his eyes filled with excitement. Then, his gaze, now surging with chilling killing intent, swept toward the Fire-Devouring King…

“Now, it’s your turn!”
