Chapter 686 - 682: The City Lord Makes a Move

Chapter 686: Chapter 682: The City Lord Makes a Move

BOOM!

A bloody light erupted from Hong Yu’s entire body.

The blood from his body converged into a Blood Dragon, which burst forth and coiled above his head.

Then, it swooped down and poured directly into his right hand.

GULP GULP GULP!

His right hand was like a bloodthirsty Demon Venerable, its blood-red maw wide open as it frantically devoured Hong Yu’s blood. As it consumed the blood, the Venerable Golden Bone within his right hand seemed to awaken.

Strange patterns began to appear, each one exuding the aura of the Great Dao.

These were incredibly bizarre Runes, spreading layer by layer up his arm until they completely enveloped the Venerable Golden Bone.

HUMMM!

An aura that made heaven and earth tremble, that stirred the winds and clouds, that felt like the coming of the apocalypse, burst forth from Hong Yu.

It was an incomparably terrifying Energy Aura.

This was the aura of a Venerable!

Hong Yu’s own power was insufficient to activate the Venerable Golden Bone and wield its Venerable Power, but he could temporarily rouse it through a "blood sacrifice."

As for the price?

He had to offer two-thirds of his body’s Essence Blood.

The massive blood loss left Hong Yu’s aura weakened, and his vision grew hazy, as if he were about to faint.

But his consciousness was sharp!

Incredibly tenacious and powerful!

CRACK CRACK CRACK!

His right hand pulsed with brilliant golden light, causing terrifying cracks to appear on the Chaotic Celestial Divine Silk, which looked as if it might shatter at any moment.

The Red-clothed God King’s Primordial Spirit was tied to the Chaotic Celestial Divine Silk.

As the power of the Venerable Golden Bone stretched the Chaotic Celestial Divine Silk to its breaking point, terror filled the Red-clothed God King’s eyes. Blood streamed from her mouth as she shrieked, "Hurry up and kill him! Hurry! He... he’s about to break the Chaotic Celestial Divine Silk! Kill him now...!"

King Lingxiao and the others’ faces changed drastically.

Ma Yuanpeng’s face turned pale, and a hint of anxiety appeared. He could feel a sliver of terror from that brilliant golden light.

"Soon! I’ll be able to kill him soon!" he said, his forehead drenched in sweat.

But that arrow needed to gather a sufficient spatial storm to unleash its full power.

In about the blink of an eye.

Ecstasy spread across Ma Yuanpeng’s face. "It’s ready! I can kill him now! He’s a dead man for sure!"

BOOM!

The void shattered.

A blood-soaked arrow suddenly pierced through the void, dragging a thousand-meter-long spatial storm with it as it hurtled toward Hong Yu.

Its momentum was magnificent and utterly terrifying.

This was definitely power at the City Lord Level, enough to severely injure even a City Lord.

"We made it just in time!"

"That arrow is so strong, carrying a spatial storm with it! Even a City Lord would struggle to block it. Hong Yu is as good as dead!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions turning triumphant and excited.

The Red-clothed God King also broke into a wide, triumphant grin.

But the next moment...

The smile on her face suddenly froze. With a GACK, she spat out a mouthful of thick blood, her aura instantly weakening to an extreme degree.

She couldn’t even maintain her flight, stumbling and falling from the sky. If King Lingxiao hadn’t been quick enough to catch her, she would have plummeted to the ground.

After checking her condition, King Lingxiao’s face contorted in horror. Two-thirds of the Red-clothed God King’s Primordial Spirit had been destroyed, with only a sliver left, barely hanging on. He held her shaking body and asked anxiously, "What happened? How did you end up like this?"

PFFT!

The Red-clothed God King couldn’t stop herself from coughing up another spray of blood, which splattered across King Lingxiao’s face.

A dull, defeated look appeared in her eyes as she gave a bitter smile. "The... the Chaotic Celestial Divine Silk... it’s been broken."

"What?"

King Lingxiao’s expression changed drastically as he looked toward Hong Yu.

Meanwhile, the terrifying arrow finally reached Hong Yu.

Just as it was about to pierce through and kill him, at that critical moment, Hong Yu’s blood-red eyes snapped open. His right hand, radiating infinite golden light, violently tore itself free from the Chaotic Celestial Divine Silk.

Layers of golden Runes of the Great Dao swirled around it.

It was utterly terrifying.

Each Rune was like a star, and they seemed to form Order Divine Chains imbued with the Great Dao, coiling around his fist as he smashed it toward the terrifying arrow.

HUMMM!

There was nothing flashy about this punch.

It was completely devoid of technique!

It was just pure, immense golden light. The fist itself was five hundred meters wide, like a world-shaking Deity throwing a divine punch.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

Crushing force!

A merciless, crushing power swept forward.

It directly shattered the arrow that contained supreme, terrifying power. The tri-colored arrow broke apart inch by inch, and even the howling spatial storm that followed it was completely annihilated in an instant, reduced to nothingness.

The punch’s momentum did not diminish.

RUMBLE!

A powerful energy wave radiated out in all directions from Hong Yu’s position, engulfing the entire mountain range.

The pure pressure of the energy alone completely destroyed the mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles, turning it to dust. Peaks crumbled, the earth sank, the sun and moon vanished, and the world was turned upside down.

This was an attack of unimaginable terror.

This was energy that eclipsed heaven and earth!

This was a sliver of a Venerable’s power!

"No!"

"Don’t..."

"Why is this happening...?"

Wherever the golden fist light passed, the bodies of the experts from the War Race and the Four Great Divine Cities exploded, instantly turning to dust. Even their Primordial Spirits were directly subjected to Annihilation.

In an instant.

More than half of the experts from the War Race and the Divine Cities, who had just been cheering in excitement over Hong Yu’s impending death, were annihilated.

Even the Divine King experts couldn’t withstand such a terrifying blow. The casualties were catastrophic, with not even bones left behind.

The punch traveled a hundred miles before it finally began to dissipate.

In its wake, it tore a massive chasm in the void. Spatial storms raged, and ferocious vortexes of spatial energy condensed into writhing dragons, letting out earth-shattering roars. Like a scene from the apocalypse, a colossal spatial rift stretched for a hundred miles.

Even in this world where the void was stable, it took a full several minutes for the rift to gradually heal.

GASP! PANT!

One by one, battered figures reappeared in the sky.

The forces of the War Race and the Four Great Divine Cities had been almost completely wiped out. Only a handful of individuals with exceptional life-saving abilities had survived, and even they were barely hanging on.

King Lingxiao’s right arm was completely gone. He was covered in blood, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with shock and terror.

Drops of fresh blood dripped from his severed arm.

The Red-clothed God King had completely passed out. Half of her body was charred, her breath as faint as a thread. Without King Lingxiao’s Shelter, she would have long since turned to dust.

God King Chen Tao’s Heaven and Earth Magic Sword was snapped in two. Its Order Divine Chains had crumbled and were dissipating.

His legs were completely destroyed, with only a section of his thigh bone left dangling in the air. His aura was also incredibly weak.

His eyes were no longer filled with anxiety, but with pure terror and regret.

On the War Race’s side...

The experts from the Giant Elephant Tribe were all annihilated. A severed elephant trunk, roasted to the point of smelling faintly fragrant, fell from the sky.

The Kuafu Race was relatively lucky.

But even they suffered over fifty percent casualties.

Kua Long had retreated early, so he didn’t suffer any serious injuries. However, his face was blank with bewilderment, never having expected a human to be able to unleash such terrifying power.

Kuadi was drenched in blood.

His body was covered in horrific wounds. His waist was sliced halfway through, his intestines and blood hanging outside his body.

If not for the powerful Battle Qi suffusing his entire body, he would have been cut in two at the waist.

At this moment...

This Half-step City Lord Level expert from the Kuafu Race was filled with terror and shock.

He couldn’t believe that the ever-victorious Kuafu Race, even when allied with so many experts, could suffer such heavy losses to a mere human he had previously looked down on.

The most pathetic of them all was Ma Yuanpeng.

His pair of Celestial Horse’s Wings were completely broken and dripping with blood. His Giant Bow had snapped, and half of it was now impaled in his right chest, piercing clean through his back. It was covered in blood that dripped steadily down.

「Outside the Sealing Spirit Array.」

GULP!

Bear Tao and the other experts swallowed hard, dumbfounded and speechless.

Unbelievable!

They couldn’t believe it!

It was all too shocking!

Just when everyone thought Hong Yu was dead for sure, who could have imagined he would stage such a desperate counter-attack?

Not only did he turn the tables, but he had nearly wiped out the combined forces of the mighty War Race and the Four Great Divine Cities. This was an unprecedented feat, a glorious deed absolutely worthy of being recorded in the annals of history!

"My heavens, is... is that really my brother Hong Yu?"

"Heavens above! Thank goodness I didn’t get involved. Otherwise, I’d be so dead not even my bear penis would be left..."

"Too terrifying!"

"Is this the power of the Venerable Golden Bone?"

Bear Tao and the others exchanged glances, then all turned to look at the mountain range once covered by the Sealing Spirit Array.

Now...

The Sealing Spirit Array had been completely destroyed.

The mountain range, which stretched for a thousand miles, had once been a rolling landscape of peaks, rivers, countless living creatures, and dense, lush forests.

But now...

For a thousand miles, not a single blade of grass grew. Ten-thousand-foot peaks had all sunk into the earth. The endless mountain range had been completely flattened, like a boundless plain.

The ground was incredibly smooth, as if countless artisans had meticulously crafted it.

How terrifying was this?

It was equivalent to completely leveling the Himalayas!

And this was just the result of the Venerable Golden Bone being restricted, able to unleash only a fraction of its power. If a peak-level Venerable were to strike, wouldn’t the entire continent be destroyed?

"Look, Hong Yu is over there!"

Bear Tao’s sharp eyes spotted a slender young man stumbling out of the ruins at the epicenter of the energy explosion.

Hong Yu’s face was ashen. He was covered in countless layers of blood, his body riddled with wounds.

Blood pulsed from his body with every step he took.

He left a long trail of blood behind him. With every step, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His left arm hung limply at his side, broken and bleeding.

Yet, no one dared to look directly at this young man who seemed to be on the verge of death.

Watching him approach step by step, whether it was Kuadi, the recently ferocious Ma Yuanpeng, King Lingxiao, or God King Chen Tao, all of them instinctively trembled and backed away.

"Hahaha, is this the so-called War Race? Are these the so-called experts of the Divine Cities? Hahaha..."

"FUCK!"

"You’re all a bunch of trash! I’m standing right here! Didn’t you want to kill me? Come on, then! Kill me! Come and try if you’ve got the guts...!"

Hong Yu’s roar shook the heavens.

He was coughing up blood. His skin was cracking, and blood was seeping out—a consequence of his meridians being unable to withstand the terrifying power of the Venerable Golden Bone and shattering from the strain.

But at this moment...

Everyone knew that Hong Yu was incredibly weak, yet no one dared to challenge him.

"Cough! Cough, cough!"

Hong Yu coughed up more blood and pointed to the sky, roaring, "Anyone else who wants to kill me, bring it on! If I don’t die today, then one day, every single one of you will kneel before me and beg for mercy!"

Just as he finished speaking, Hong Yu’s body suddenly froze. He looked up at the heavens.

The void abruptly cracked open, and a pitch-black palm reached out, accompanied by a cold snort.

This palm was terrifying, imbued with supreme power.

It made Hong Yu’s pupils constrict violently...

’A City Lord Level expert has made a move!’
