Chapter 684: God-Trapping Earth Prison

Hong Yu was stained with blood, his eyes crimson.

His right hand gripped the Godslaying Spear, while a ball of Wind Evil Power swirled in his left.

Streaks of dark gold Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame blazed across his body, blooming like clusters of golden lotuses.

His gaze was like lightning, his aura immense.

A chill ran down the spines of the experts wherever his icy gaze landed. With a sudden thrust of his Godslaying Spear, he lopped off the head of a Divine King. The Biluo Immortal Vine shot out, its green tendrils piercing through the severed head and suspending it behind him, where it floated gently.

Blood stained his long robes. He laughed in the face of the world!

The Godslaying Long Spear slaughtered his powerful enemies!

At this moment, Hong Yu’s will to fight surged to the heavens. He was like an unrivaled Demon King!

“Attack!”

“Kill this demon!”

“You’re dead meat! No one in heaven or on earth can save you now!”

Whether from the War Race Tribe or the Divine City, the experts were now united, intent on butchering Hong Yu.

Hong Yu felt not a shred of fear. His Divine Demon Wings quivered, and he tore through the sky in an instant, leaving a trail like a long rainbow. The very air exploded with a series of booms.

“Godslaying Mace!”

A look of greed flashed in the eyes of one Divine King.

A pair of large golden maces in his hands shone with a dazzling light. Two Golden Dragons coiled around them, exuding a vast, sacred aura and a deadly, sharp power.

A single blow from these maces could heavily wound a Divine King.

The two long dragons roared, golden light erupting as they swung two sharp claws forward.

The claws were a brilliant, shimmering gold and incomparably sharp. They swiped at Hong Yu’s shoulders from both sides.

Hong Yu sneered, swinging his Godslaying Spear to form a golden barrier that seemed to blot out the sun.

RUMBLE!

The Dragon Claws slammed viciously into the Godslaying Spear.

They failed to shatter the Godslaying Spear. Instead, they were coated in the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame. The constant burning made the Golden Dragons howl in agony as they retreated; their Artifact Souls had been severely wounded and were returning to the weapon.

But the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame was immensely powerful, possessing an unparalleled stickiness!

As the Golden Dragon Artifact Souls returned to the Godslaying Maces, they carried the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame with them. SIZZLE! Under the flame’s frantic assault, which had already reached the Second Layer Realm, the pair of Seventh-Grade Primordial Weapons were burned glowing red and became unbearably hot to the touch.

The Divine King cried out in pain, instinctively dropping his weapons.

Hong Yu seized the opportunity and dove forward.

The Divine Demon Wings were just too fast!

In an instant, he shot past the God King Level expert. He formed a Palm Blade with the Wind Fiend in his left hand. SPLAT! With a spray of hot blood, he sliced the Divine King’s head clean off.

The Biluo Immortal Vine shot out again, coiling around another head and suspending it behind him.

It was only after he had truly refined the Biluo Immortal Vine that Hong Yu discovered something incredible: as it coiled around an expert’s head, it also sealed their Primordial Spirit.

It was because of this…

…that even the Primordial Spirits of the two fallen Divine Kings had been unable to escape.

“Come on! Fight! Hahaha! Let’s just see who’s first—you killing me, or me, Hong Yu, slaughtering all of you!” Hong Yu roared with laughter, his fighting spirit surging.

At this moment, Hong Yu was unstoppable!

It was as if an unyielding War God had possessed him.

His path was one of no return. Today, robed in blood, he would fight to the ends of the earth. Whether to the highest heavens or the deepest Yellow Springs, Hong Yu would slaughter every last one of these bastards who schemed to kill him and steal his Venerable Golden Bone!

RUMBLE!

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant took form once more.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant, at the Half-step Primordial Spirit Realm, was terrifyingly real and almost completely solid. With a single kick, it sent a Divine King flying, coughing up blood. The Divine King’s bones couldn’t withstand the immense force and were shattered to pieces.

“This is bad!”

The Divine King screamed and tried to flee.

But Hong Yu’s gaze turned cold as he rushed forward. The Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant’s trunk shot out, furiously coiling around the Divine King’s waist before suddenly tightening its grip.

CRUNCH!

The Divine King was snapped in two at the waist.

His Primordial Spirit shot out at once, glaring at Hong Yu with venomous hatred. But when it saw Hong Yu holding a Wind Saber condensed from Wind Fiend, ready to execute it, the Primordial Spirit screamed, “No, no, don’t… Spare me, Hong Yu, spare me…”

Hong Yu remained expressionless, a cold sneer on his face. “You should have been prepared to die the moment you chose to attack me!”

WHOOSH!

A full thirty-six green tendrils shot out from the Biluo Immortal Vine.

Glowing with a faint green light, they pierced through the Primordial Spirit.

In an instant, the Primordial Spirit of a mighty Divine King was completely devoured by the Biluo Immortal Vine. It exploded with a bang, dissolving into specks of spiritual starlight before vanishing completely.

The battle had just begun, and already three Divine Kings had fallen.

Hong Yu’s invincible combat strength left everyone speechless. Even Half-step City Lord Level experts like King Lingxiao and God King Chen Tao stared at each other in horror.

Veins throbbed on Chen Tao’s forehead. “H-how is he so strong?”

A chill flashed in King Lingxiao’s eyes. He had never expected Hong Yu to possess such unbelievably terrifying combat strength.

Had he known Hong Yu was this powerful, King Lingxiao never would have acted so rashly.

He was accustomed to formulating a plan before making a move.

Now, however, he was in a terribly passive position. King Lingxiao turned to the War Race experts. “Kuadi, Ma Yuanpeng, you’ve seen Hong Yu’s terrifying strength and his brutal methods. As far as I know, he’s only eighteen, yet he already possesses the combat power of a Half-step City Lord Level expert. He slaughters Divine Kings as if they were pigs and dogs. If we let him continue to grow, I fear it won’t be long before even a City Lord will be helpless against him!”

The color drained from Ma Yuanpeng’s face.

‘I thought dealing with Hong Yu would be as easy as taking something out of my pocket,’ Ma Yuanpeng thought. That was why he’d held back, saving his strength so he could make a decisive move when it came time to fight Kuadi, King Lingxiao, and the others for the Venerable Golden Bone.

‘But now…’

Ma Yuanpeng’s gaze flickered as he stared at Hong Yu, a hint of coldness and fervor in his eyes. ‘I must obtain the Venerable Golden Bone. But before that, I should join forces with them to kill this kid first!’ he decided. He immediately nodded and said aloud, “Fine. My Celestial Horse Race will cooperate fully to kill this brat!”

Ma Yuanpeng looked at Kuadi, who hesitated slightly. “Cooperate with the people from the Divine City?”

Ma Yuanpeng said, “Kuadi, you just saw for yourself how ruthless Hong Yu is. If we let him continue to grow, even a City Lord won’t be able to handle him in the future. He will definitely come seeking revenge, and we’ll be completely on the defensive. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, as they say. For now, our priority is to join forces with the Divine City and kill this brat!”

Kuadi’s eyebrows rose at his words. His twenty-five-meter-tall frame radiated immense pressure.

「A moment later.」

Kuadi nodded and said, “Fine, today I, Kuadi, will join forces with you!” He looked at Hong Yu, his huge eyes flashing with a cold light. “For us to have to team up to kill you, Hong Yu, even in Hell, you can be proud of yourself!”

“Bring it on!”

Hong Yu stood tall, hovering in the air with his spear, a cold sneer on his lips. “If I don’t die today, I swear I will exterminate every last one of you in the future!”

“Then what are we waiting for? Kill him!”

“Even if it costs me my life, I’m taking you down with me, Hong Yu!”

“Die!”

Whereas before the experts had all been fighting for themselves, now the forces of the War Race and the Divine City were working in close concert. They had fought each other on numerous occasions and were intimately familiar with one another’s capabilities.

Thus, after some initial awkwardness, their teamwork quickly became seamless.

Working together, their combined combat power soared.

“Heaven and Earth Magic Sword!”

God King Chen Tao roared.

The Divine Sword, wreathed in lightning, suddenly materialized. It slashed through the void, a strike that seemed to dominate the very heavens.

The blade tore through space, unleashing powerful dimensional storms capable of shredding countless experts. The incomparably sharp attack hacked down toward Hong Yu.

Hong Yu raised his Godslaying Spear to block, the impact producing a heavy CLANG.

A shock like a thunderbolt ran up his arm, charring his flesh black. The force made his hand go numb, and he almost lost his grip on the Godslaying Spear.

“Lingxiao, you’re up!” Chen Tao roared with a savage grin.

King Lingxiao laughed heartily. “I’ve been ready for a while! Die, Hong Yu!”

A colossal palace materialized behind King Lingxiao—the Lingxiao Palace, a divine edifice that towered above the Nine Heavens.

The palace, a heavy, sprawling structure a full ten kilometers long, came crashing down.

It radiated a divine light and was incredibly heavy.

BOOM!

Hong Yu spun around and unleashed his Wind and Thunder Beast Technique. A Mongolian Spider Toad materialized and spewed streams of powerful energy, attempting to block the descending palace. However, the palace simply smashed it to pieces. Lightning scattered everywhere, but the palace seemed capable of devouring any form of energy.

Neither Wind Fiend nor Thunder could destroy it.

Just as Hong Yu was about to counterattack, he noticed Ma Yuanpeng off to the side, coldly watching with a bow drawn and an arrow nocked. Seizing Hong Yu’s moment of distraction, he released the arrow. THWIP! It shot toward him.

“Fire Cloud Divine Armor!”

A red light shot to the sky as a Fire Phoenix erupted from his body. It circled once in the air before crashing down around him with a BOOM.

The Fire Cloud Divine Armor now covered Hong Yu’s body, shimmering like a vortex of fire.

THUD!

But this arrow carried the force of a Half-step City Lord Level attack. The heavy impact caused the Fire Phoenix to crack and let out a piercing shriek.

Hong Yu’s body shuddered violently. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he plummeted toward the ground.

BOOM!

His body, wreathed in dark gold flames, slammed into the ground. A sea of fire instantly erupted, incinerating the surrounding landscape and turning it into a river of molten lava.

WHOOSH!

Hong Yu burst out of the lava.

But the moment he emerged, King Lingxiao’s Mystical Dharma Aspect, the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, came crashing down with a BOOM, smashing Hong Yu back beneath the earth.

“Kuadi, it’s up to you!”

King Lingxiao and Ma Yuanpeng shouted in unison.

Kuadi’s voice rumbled like thunder, his eyes glowing like two blazing suns. Ochre-colored Earth God Power surged around him. He plunged his hands deep into the ground, and when he pulled them out, he dragged two long dragons up with them.

These were Earth Vein Long Dragons!

He had ripped them straight from the earth. Truly, he was worthy of his heritage as a member of the Kuafu Race, masters of earthen power.

“Earth Dragons manifest, God-Trapping Earth Prison!”

As Kuadi roared, the Earth Vein Dragons surged forward, swimming through the molten rock. A total of nine of them churned through the lava, tearing it apart until they located Hong Yu.

The nine dragons coiled together, forming a massive earthen prison!

Hong Yu was trapped inside by the nine Earth Vein Dragons. A triumphant look spread across Kuadi’s face. “The God-Trapping Earth Prison… even a City Lord Level expert would struggle to break free. Hong Yu, today you die for sure!”
