CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 478: KILL ON THE WAY

The command of the red-horned strangers was issued, and in an instant, dozens of Celestial Gods erupted with fierce primordial power auras.

Swish swish swish!

Dozens of figures shot forth like arrows, heading straight for the hundreds of shadowy mist dragons.

Strange sounds emanated from the shadowy mist dragons, and all the dormant ones immediately awoke, bursting out of the mud.

"A battle of the Hundred Generations Celestial Gods."

Dozens of Hundred Generations Celestial Gods, in a combined effort, unleashed a chaos secret technique, taking several weaker shadowy mist dragons by surprise and instantly killing them.

Wang Xu frowned as he watched.

The corpses of those slain shadowy mist dragons turned to ashes, almost reduced to dust. If they continued killing like this, Wang Xu wouldn’t even get a single shadowy mist dragon corpse.

Fortunately, the shadowy mist dragons at the Hundred Generations Celestial God Realm level were wise enough; seeing the enemy grouping together for an attack, they immediately scattered, diving back into the mud.

In an instant, the earth shook violently.

The ground for millions of miles around underwent massive tremors.

This was the result of them restraining their power; otherwise, the combined attack of so many Hundred Generations Celestial Gods could overturn the mountains and rivers within a million miles.

"These Celestial Gods are all elite figures, capable of facing shadowy mist dragons on their own!"

Wang Xu observed the battlefield and noticed these Celestial Gods were quite powerful, able to hold their own against shadowy mist dragons of the same level. Hence, the treasure in the cave they aimed to seize must be of unparalleled value!

The shadowy mist dragons used their terrain advantage to counterattack, leaving dozens of Celestial Gods unable to advance into the cave for a while.

At this moment, a blinding red light appeared—the red-horned stranger who had previously contended with Wang Xu emerged.

Wielding a red-horned long weapon, he swiftly slew several shadowy mist dragons trying to block him, advancing rapidly.

"He’s in!"

Wang Xu’s eyes flickered as the red-horned stranger successfully found an opening and broke into the cave.

Instantly, all the shadowy mist dragons boiled over, abandoning their current enemies to pounce on the red-horned stranger.

"Hahaha..."

A burst of laughter echoed from afar, audible to Wang Xu even from such a distance.

The red-horned stranger took out an array and flung it out forcefully.

Immediately, a red light barrier enveloped the cave entrance, with all the shadowy mist dragons crashing into it but unable to budge it an inch.

"This array... and this cave..."

Wang Xu’s eyes sparkled as he realized.

The red-horned stranger’s array didn’t undergo true "catalysis" yet was deployed, defying logic.

It’s like ordinary arrays that need plenty of time to be set up in advance; even temporary arrays require hand seals or some special method to activate them.

One method is to use an array to activate another array.

In other words, the cave itself was an array guarded by hundreds of shadowy mist dragons, and the red-horned stranger discerned its mystery, creating a corresponding array. When combined, they formed a red light barrier, blocking all shadowy mist dragons outside the cave.

Now, even if the shadowy mist dragons attempted to destroy the mountain, the array would keep them out.

"What treasure exactly is in this cave?"

As Wang Xu pondered, the battle at the cave entrance began to subside.

The dozens of Hundred Generations Celestial Gods were not aiming to slaughter hundreds of shadowy mist dragons, merely to divert attention and stall their actions.

Now that the red-horned stranger had successfully entered the cave, the task of the dozens of Hundred Generations Celestial Gods was complete; they naturally chose to retreat.

"Since you’re here, none of you should leave!"

A gleam of ruthlessness flashed in Wang Xu’s eyes.

He immediately dashed out, directly chasing one of the Hundred Generations Celestial Gods trying to leave.

"Who are you..."

This Hundred Generations Celestial God initially didn’t notice Wang Xu’s presence at all; Wang Xu’s figure suddenly appeared before him, startling him greatly. Just as he wanted to ask, a golden light palm had already slammed down!

Boom!

The golden light palm directly crushed the head of this Hundred Generations Celestial God into powder, the constant force in the wound obliterating his life aura instantly.

"Devour!"

The Fire of Silence flew out, refining the individual completely, transforming into surging primordial qi and a trace of constant force within Wang Xu’s body.

"The constant force of the Hundred Generations Celestial God Realm indeed has some weight to it."

Previously, Wang Xu only devoured Initial Celestial God Realm beings; the constant force provided by a million Initial Celestial God Realm beings couldn’t allow Wang Xu’s Hundred Generations physique to break through to Ten Thousand Generations.

But the Hundred Generations Celestial God Realm is different, containing far more weight than the Initial Celestial God Realm.

A strange Celestial God suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and in one move, dealt with a Hundred Generations Celestial God. This scene caused the faces of other Celestial Gods to change dramatically.

Seizing the moment as they panicked, the ferocious chase of the shadowy mist dragons severely wounded many Hundred Generations Celestial Gods, who were then surrounded and torn apart by the dragons.

"Quick! Retreat quickly!"

The Hundred Generations Celestial Gods hurriedly fled, but how could Wang Xu let them leave in peace?

With his Thunder God Universe Light Saber, Wang Xu unleashed a massive secret technique, which, while not causing effective harm to the Hundred Generations Celestial Gods, delayed their escape.

Additionally, with the shadowy mist dragons as "allies," dozens of Hundred Generations Celestial Gods found no escape route!

Moments later.

"All killed; now is it my turn?"

The dozens of Hundred Generations Celestial Gods all perished under the shadowy mist dragons in just a short period.

They were already outnumbered, and with Wang Xu as a formidable ally for the dragons, everyone desperately met their end encircled by the shadowy mist dragons.

Now that dozens of Hundred Generations Celestial Gods have died, more than eighty shadowy mist dragons glared bloodthirstily at Wang Xu.

Wang Xu put away his Thunder God Universe Light Saber.

"You Ji, it’s time for a meal!"

...

Bang!!

A silent rumble echoed in Wang Xu’s mind.

The Law of Light truly ascended to the stage of half-knowledge.

Now if Wang Xu were to slaughter Initial Celestial Gods crazily like in the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty, he would not need several strikes, just one strike would suffice to take their lives.

This is the Supreme Law.

The stronger the Supreme Law, the more potent the erosion on the Celestial God Body, the "toxin" erupting enough for Wang Xu to take their lives with a single strike!

"The Law of Light stepped into the half-knowledge stage; I can now ascend to the Celestial God Peak and vie for a place on the Celestial God List."

Wang Xu mused to himself, "However, before going back, I must first enter this cave and see what treasure lies within."

"You Ji, it’s your turn to shine."

Wang Xu said.

This cave had completely transformed into a seamless, immensely sturdy defense array.

Not even a hundred shadowy mist dragons were able to break it, thus directly breaking the array by force would require substantial time.

Yet, there’s always a solution.

Spending such a long time in the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, Wang Xu gained some understanding of arrays. Although he couldn’t set up truly powerful arrays, he comprehended the operational principles of most arrays.

"This defense array is strong but evidently crudely arranged, not man-made, possibly set up by powerful shadowy mist dragons."

Wang Xu analyzed, "Hence, to quickly break this crude defense array, one simply needs to ’reverse the array’!"

If arrays run clockwise, then the reversal array runs counterclockwise.

Running an array counterclockwise makes it return to its endpoint.

The Fire of Silence possesses the power to refine all things, reducing corpses to their most basic primordial state, and naturally, it can reverse arrays, reverting them to the initial state.

"You rascal, always making me handle such thankless tasks!"

You Ji complained.

Yet, his hands were swift, and with a wave, red and white flames descended upon the mountain, beginning a frenzied burn! (To be continued.
