Chapter 695 - 691: The Curtain Finally Falls

Chapter 695: Chapter 691: The Curtain Finally Falls

"You... you... you actually..."

Ku Tianlei pointed at Hong Yu, his gaze vacant. He stared blankly at Hong Yu, then followed Hong Yu’s arm down to look at his own chest.

There was a golden long spear, covered in rings of Dragon Scales, radiating a brilliant golden light.

His chest was a bloody mess.

Hong Yu slowly withdrew the long spear, but the bleeding hole remained a grisly sight.

Drop by drop, blood fell. This was the blood of a City Lord-level expert; every drop that fell carried immense power and abundant vital energy. A single drop could cause the earth to collapse.

It was simply unbelievable!

Before long, a lake of blood had already filled the entire valley.

King Lingxiao’s eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded. "N-no way! Even Ku Tianlei is no match for this brat?"

King Lingxiao was in a daze.

He trembled all over, feeling that his end was near.

At this moment, King Lingxiao was filled with regret. ’If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have repeatedly provoked Ku Tianlei. I even gloated and insisted that Hong Yu would surely die.’

’Flee?’

King Lingxiao swallowed hard, wondering if he should run.

He had just taken a step when Hong Yu’s airy voice sounded in his ear, "Move again, and I’ll kill you immediately!"

GULP!

King Lingxiao’s throat bobbed, and he gave a wry, continuous smile. "N-no, I won’t flee. H-how could I possibly flee..." His bitter expression was uglier than if he were crying.

Hong Yu glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Ku Tianlei. "The Kuafu Race is indeed formidable. If it were anyone else, that one spear strike would have been enough to kill them!"

An earthy yellow light swirled around Ku Tianlei’s body. The wound on his chest quietly healed.

Hong Yu didn’t try to stop him.

He stood quietly in the void, gazing at Ku Tianlei, his eyes as serene as a starry sky, radiating faint traces of divine light.

Ku Tianlei’s wound healed, but a hideous scar remained. He looked at Hong Yu with a complicated expression. After a long while, he finally sighed and said softly, "Back then, there was Xiahuang the First. I never thought another like you, Hong Yu, would appear now. Heh... you humans truly have limitless potential. No wonder you were able to become the masters of heaven and earth."

"Aren’t your War Races also uniquely blessed?" Hong Yu replied calmly.

The two of them didn’t seem like mortal enemies on the verge of battle at all. Instead, they were like old friends who had known each other for a long time, conversing as equals.

Ku Tianlei shook his head, his expression still complex. "Forget it, forget it. You’ve proven yourself in today’s battle. Let’s consider the matter of my son Kuadi’s death, the feud between you and my Kuafu Race, settled!"

"Alright!"

Hong Yu smiled and nodded.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to utterly annihilate Ku Tianlei. In truth, he had a faint feeling that many powerful experts were secretly observing this place.

Clearly... these secretly observing experts were all City Lord-level beings.

’Although my combat power is immense, both the Eight Great Battle Clans and the Four Great Divine Cities have profound foundations.’

’There’s no guarantee they don’t have trump cards to risk everything.’

’I’ve already broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, and even reached the Peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm by the Fountain of Eternal Youth. My combat power is surging. Staying in the True Dragon Battlefield won’t help me much anymore.’

’The most important thing right now is to cultivate quietly and wait for the True Dragon Ancient Hall to appear.’

’When the time comes, I’ll achieve an outstanding result, perhaps even vying for the title of the Xiahuang Ancient Kingdom’s number one True Dragon. Then, I can use the Ancient Teleportation Array to travel to the Desert North Wilderness.’

’My parents and family are there.’

’That is the goal I’m striving for!’

It was precisely because he was worried about triggering the final, decisive battle too early—risking a mutually destructive outcome that would affect the contest for the True Dragon Ancient Hall—that he had spared Ku Tianlei. Of course, a more important reason for doing so was that he didn’t actually have a major feud with the Kuafu Race.

The main culprits, Kuadi and Chen Tao, were already dead. Only King Lingxiao and Ma Yuanpeng remained.

As for the City Lords behind them, Hong Yu was even less afraid!

’I’ll have to fight Xiakang Divine City sooner or later!’

As for the Celestial Horse Race...

From Ma Qi to Ma Fengxing, and now to Ma Yuanpeng, his feud with them was irreconcilable. If the City Lord of the Celestial Horse Race were to make a move, Hong Yu certainly wouldn’t mind slaughtering them.

However, it was clear he was going to be disappointed.

Even when Hong Yu had dragged both King Lingxiao and Ma Yuanpeng before him, the City Lords from their respective factions did not intervene.

King Lingxiao’s face was full of pleading. "Hong Yu, spare my life for the sake of us both being human..."

Ma Yuanpeng’s face was grim. He clearly knew his own City Lord-level backer was unwilling to provoke a madman like Hong Yu for his sake. "My father was the previous Clan Leader, and his strength is greater than, not weaker than, Ku Tianlei’s. He is in seclusion right now, but he will emerge soon. If you dare kill me, my father will not spare you!"

Hong Yu smiled at the two of them. "Don’t try to threaten me! I, Hong Yu, don’t like to cause trouble, but I’m not afraid of it either! If your backers really want to kill me for revenge, then let them come. I, Hong Yu, will take them all on!"

"No!"

"Don’t..."

Feeling Hong Yu’s chilling killing intent, both of them revealed expressions of despair and terror.

But Hong Yu remained impassive. With a single, swift motion, two heads flew into the air. He ripped out their Primordial Spirits and ruthlessly refined them into nothingness with the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame.

SWOOSH!

Hong Yu shot into the sky, standing proudly ten thousand meters high.

His eyes radiated divine light, seemingly piercing through the void, sensing the numerous Divine Thoughts that were focused here.

These were obviously the City Lord-level experts who had been secretly observing.

"Hmph!"

Hong Yu glanced to the north and east, a playful arc on his lips. Then, his voice boomed like thunder, erupting from his chest and reverberating through the nine heavens. "Today, all who dared to invade the Spirit Cat Tribe have been executed! Three days from now, I, Hong Yu, will establish the Hongmeng Divine City here! I invite the experts of all races to a gathering..."

"Furthermore, I, Hong Yu, hereby declare to the world: Hongmeng Divine City will not expand its territory and does not wish to be enemies with anyone. However, Hongmeng Divine City is not afraid of trouble either! If anyone dares to act against my Hongmeng Divine City, then feel free to make your move! Whether you are a Clan Leader or a City Lord, I, Hong Yu, will face you!"

The moment his voice faded, he sensed two great hands tear through the void, lunging to kill him.

Hong Yu laughed coldly. "Bai Shikang, Eastern Asura, it’s you two again! Excellent timing. I was just in need of two gate pillars!"

Then... a golden light suddenly surged from Hong Yu’s body.

He simultaneously struck out with two Void Hand Seals. The hand seals soared through the air, palms a hundred zhang large, grabbing at the two incoming hands.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two terrifying explosions made the void rumble.

SWISH! SWISH!

Flashes of golden light, like strikes of thunder, descended.

His two Void Hand Seals instantly severed the two giant hands that had torn through space. Two muffled groans echoed from the void. These hands were formed from pure Void Power and contained Order Divine Chains, making them impervious to water and fire, and incorruptible for ten thousand years.

Hong Yu fiercely plunged the two severed hands toward the ground!

BOOM! BOOM!

The two hands, each a thousand meters in size, were driven directly into the earth.

They struggled frantically.

The Order Divine Chains thrashed wildly, trying to tear open the void and escape.

"Be suppressed!"

Hong Yu roared, condensing two powerful seals that descended upon the hands, forcefully suppressing them. Streaks of dark gold Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame covered both hands, roasting and refining them into two thousand-meter-tall stone pillars that stood on the left and right upon the land.

These two pillars were incomparably majestic, wreathed in Order Divine Chains and imbued with the rhythm of the Great Dao.

Hong Yu laughed heartily and cupped his hands toward the void. "Many thanks for the gifts from the Second City Lord of Xiakang Divine City and the Eastern City Lord! These two gate pillars are a perfect fit for my Hongmeng Divine City!"

"Hmph!"

A cold voice came from the eastern void; it was Eastern Asura. "Hong Yu, don’t be so arrogant! The day the True Dragon Ancient Hall manifests will be the day you and I truly clash!"

"My elder brother will soon emerge from seclusion. He will have a surprise for you!" Bai Shikang also sneered indifferently.

Hong Yu roared with laughter, his voice like rolling thunder. "Come at me if you have the guts! For every one of you that comes, I, Hong Yu, will keep one. I happen to be short a few City Lords to serve as gate-keeping slaves!"

The void shattered.

The few City Lords retreated one after another. Naturally, some City Lords also sent messages of goodwill. "Hahaha, little friend Hong Yu, I am Bear Tao’s father. That boy has long wanted to have another drink with you. In three days, I will definitely visit Hongmeng Divine City!"

"See you in three days!" This was from an expert of the Holy Tiger Tribe.

"I, Ape, will personally pay a visit in three days!" said the Clan Leader of the Golden Ancient Ape Tribe.

The voice of the Netherworld Race’s Clan Leader was very cold. "In three days, the Netherworld will pay a visit!"

"You are all welcome!"

Hong Yu was neither servile nor overbearing.

He then looked at Ku Tianlei. Ku Tianlei’s expression twitched. He had intended to take the Kuafu Race experts who had attacked the Spirit Cat Tribe and leave, but seeing the killing intent in Hong Yu’s eyes, he gave a wry smile. "In three days, I, Kua, will definitely be there!"

He then tore open the void and departed.

Immediately after, Hong Yu’s chilling aura enveloped the entire Spirit Cat Mountain Range. All the invaders who had attacked the Spirit Cat Race felt a sharp pain in their heads and fell into endless illusions.

At this moment, Hong Yu’s Spiritual Power was just one step away from entering the Yin Yang Realm. Amplified by the Profound Celestial Tower, his Spiritual Power was even more terrifying.

With a single sweep, these experts all fell victim to the Illusion Technique of the Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes.

Then, under Mao Mei’Er’s organization, the Spirit Cat Race began to counterattack, taking their revenge.

This slaughter lasted for a full day.

Then, another day passed cleaning up the battlefield.

In those two days... Hong Yu’s fame, as well as the fame of Hongmeng Divine City, spread throughout the entire True Dragon Battlefield.

He had created one legend after another!

Slaughtering a Divine King, killing a newly-ascended City Lord, defeating a veteran City Lord with his spear, and challenging the Four Great Divine Cities...

Each of these was a great feat, let alone all of them combined. It was an unprecedented achievement!

During these two days, Hong Yu returned to the outer warzone, uprooted the City of Dawn, and brought it back to the core region, setting it down in the Spirit Cat Mountain Range.

Under the management of Feng Xue Xin and Mao Mei’Er, the construction of Hongmeng Divine City proceeded with fiery intensity.

Everyone involved was a supreme expert, so building a Divine City was not a difficult task!

Hong Yu even had invitations crafted and sent to the experts of the major powers.

As for himself... he remained in the Holy Land of the Spirit Cat Mountain Range, in seclusion. He stayed there until the dawn of the third day, when there were still twelve hours until the official inauguration of Hongmeng Divine City.

Feng Xue Xin came to the Holy Land and began to speak...

"Junior Brother Hong, I have news about the matter you asked me to handle!"
