CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 9 THRILLING! ACTUALLY SWALLOWED IN ONE GULP..._2

They had always looked down upon the likes of the Devouring Heavenly Sparrow and other Ancient Species from outside the Ancient God Mountains.

But to their surprise, their opponent had actually ascended to the Divine Fire Realm.

In fact, not only the Devouring Heavenly Sparrow, but Qiongqi, Vermilion Bird, and Zhu Yan had also ascended.

Their ascension was naturally thanks to the divine favor of the Lord of Hongmeng and the casual guidance of Li Fuyan Luo. Li Fuyan Luo was a powerhouse of the Divine Emperor Realm. A casual remark from Li Fuyan Luo was enough to benefit these creatures for a lifetime.

"AH AH AH... I come from Yishan Mountain! Please, for the sake of Yishan Mountain’s face, spare me this once!"

The White Jade Dragon Elephant was terrified. No longer concerned with its pride, it began to beg for mercy.

"I come from Azure Sky Divine Mountain..."

"I come from..."

One by one, powerful beings from the Ancient God Mountains began to speak up, pleading for mercy without forgetting to mention their backgrounds and statuses. After all, their Ancient God Mountains had always oppressed all under heaven; who would dare not give them face?

Alas, they had encountered the Hongmeng Divine Sect.

The Devouring Heavenly Sparrow looked disdainful, considering the Ancient God Mountains as nothing.

It didn’t hesitate for a second and exerted force once more.

The White Jade Dragon Elephant and other powerhouses of the Ancient God Mountains were filled with terror. They struggled fiercely but were directly turned into mists of blood, swallowed whole by the Devouring Heavenly Sparrow.

"What? Five supreme beings of the Supreme One level from the Divine Mountains were actually killed just like that?"

"How is this possible?"

"Wasn’t that Devouring Heavenly Sparrow at the Supreme One level? How did it suddenly ascend to divinity?"

Within the alliance, countless cultivators who saw this scene felt a chill creep down their spines.

"Desecrating My Lord with ulterior motives deserves execution!"

After devouring five Supreme One-level beings, the Devouring Heavenly Sparrow looked toward the tens of thousands of cultivators in the alliance, opened its mouth again to swallow, and an ocean-like dark light shot out.

Like flash floods, like seas smashing against the sky, the land was enveloped by the dark light. All the cultivator powerhouses were lifted into the air, flying towards that immense open beak.

It was a terrifying sight, like the end of the world. To prevent it was impossible, for once these tens of thousands were shrouded by the dark light, it meant their chances of survival were slim.

To struggle within the dark light meant to burst apart and turn into a cloud of blood!

"AH AH AH! Don’t, don’t eat me!"

"WOO WOO WOO! I want my mommy!"

"Save me..."

...

Cries and wails emanated from the alliance. Everyone was stunned, incapable of resisting.

Struggling was futile; no one could save them. The dark light shrouded the sky, leaving them only to watch as they were swallowed into that bird’s mouth.

This was a terrifying scene: a colossal, ferocious bird spanning the sky, enshrouded in black mist that covered the entire heavens.

Its eyes were as large as blood moons. Opening its massive beak, it swallowed tens of thousands of people whole.

SPLAT. SPLAT.

Upon entry, all of them exploded, turning into clouds of blood, which were then absorbed into its stomach.

"So much blood qi, truly a satisfying meal!" The Devouring Heavenly Sparrow, nourished by the massive amount of blood qi, appeared invigorated and radiant with divine light.

The world settled into silence.

An eerie quiet fell upon the numerous onlooking powerhouses.

"My God, so many powerhouses, including those from the Ancient God Mountains and various major forces, have all been devoured!"

"These Wilderness Regions are about to change!"

Numerous powerhouses were horrified. A chill pierced through to their crown chakras, their hearts pounding with fear.

It was too terrifying.

Too horrific.

I hadn’t expected the Devouring Heavenly Sparrow to actually ascend to the Divine Fire Realm and become a deity. The other three beasts are probably not far behind...

The Stone Kingdom Emperor looked up at the form of the Devouring Heavenly Sparrow, his eyes filled with a grave expression.

He was sitting in an Ancient War Chariot.

There, a glittering radiance shone brightly, incomparably fierce, with golden light undulating like a vast ocean, boundless as the sea.

The Emperor stood at the center, graceful as a True Dragon, looking down on the world with pride.

"The sudden rise of these four monstrous beasts to the Divine Fire Realm must be related to the emergence of the new Lord of Hongmeng. The Lord of Hongmeng is indeed unfathomable, and the Hongmeng Divine Sect is unstoppable!"

The Fire Kingdom Monarch looked on with a profound gaze, his expression solemn. His heart was equally restless, as if he had already seen the Hongmeng Divine Sect sweeping across the Wilderness Region, where those who complied would flourish, and those who defied would perish.

Great chaos was about to begin.

"Father, doesn’t that Vermilion Bird look like our Fire Kingdom’s sacred spirit?" Huo Ling’er was tall and slender, with skin as white as snow and large eyes sparkling like crystals, radiating a spirited glow. Despite being shocked by the terror of the Devouring Heavenly Sparrow, she was more curious about the Vermilion Bird next to it, whose body blazed with flames.

Fire Kingdom Monarch: "..."

It’s more than similar.

That was indeed their Fire Kingdom’s sacred spirit.

However, this could be used as a stepping stone to approach the Vermilion Bird and learn about the Hongmeng Divine Sect, to probe the true extent of its depth.

「Soon afterward.」

The news from here spread out, reaching across the Wilderness Region and causing the entire area to tremble.

The innumerable forces behind the slain powerhouses were furious.

Especially the Ancient God Mountains, which looked down upon the world from on high.

How many years had it been?

Someone dared to challenge their Ancient God Mountains!

"What a Lord of Hongmeng! Not even giving face to our Yishan Mountain! Does he really think he is invincible?"

Within Yishan Mountain, a terrifying roar suddenly erupted. A colossal phantom that overshadowed Yunxiao appeared in the skies above Yishan Mountain, its might suppressing all directions.

"Lord of Hongmeng, you just wait for the day South Meteorite Divine Mountain settles the score with you! You are undoubtedly doomed!"

A bone-chilling roar came from South Meteorite Divine Mountain as well. Frightening murderous intent surged into the sky, scattering the clouds. Billions of living creatures prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling with fear and anxiety.

"Daring to touch our people from Western Ling Beast Mountain? Does he really think he’s a True God? ...Too bad for him, I know that there are no True Gods in the Lower Realm Eight Domains!"

At Western Ling Beast Mountain, a White Tiger as tall as the mountains stood between heaven and earth, gazing towards the vast mountain ranges, endless killing intent howling like a storm.

The Azure Sky Divine Mountain, Rain Clan, Kun Clan, Li Clan, Mongol Clan, Yuan Clan, and numerous other great clans and forces were all enraged, intent on obliterating the Hongmeng Divine Sect to seek vengeance and settle their grievances.

However, before they could make a move, the four great monstrous beasts—Qiongqi, Devouring Heavenly Sparrow, Vermilion Bird, and Zhu Yan—led the powerhouses of the Hongmeng Divine Sect to make a powerful descent upon Yishan Mountain, one of the Ancient God Mountains.

As the news spread, the Wilderness Region was rocked.

Numerous forces’ elites, prodigies, and even solitary cultivators rushed towards Yishan Mountain via various means, prepared to witness this unparalleled great battle.

This battle would likely be a clash between deities.

Such a battle is rare in ten thousand years.

If missed, it would be a lifelong regret.

And among these spectators, two women were particularly special.

One wore a light veil over her face, with a slender figure and breathtaking grace, as clear and cold as the bright moon, carrying an elegant beauty.

She stood above a great lake, serene and aloof. As the breeze stirred the lake’s surface, it lifted a corner of her veil, revealing half of an immortal countenance that almost took one’s breath away.

The lake water was azure, devoid of any impurity. She was like an ethereal Fairy, light and graceful, standing amidst the lake in white robes purer than snow. Her raven hair cascaded down, exuding an aura of otherworldliness, untouched by mortal affairs.

The other, however, was a bewitching woman, like a Fox Demon.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, luscious red lips, and long legs. Her waist was as slender as a willow, her bosom full, and her neck swan-like. Her skin was as white as jade stone, and her pretty face held a seductive charm, her eyes sparkling.

Behind her, several snow-white fox tails swayed, crystal clear and shimmering, exuding a unique allure.

Standing there, both men and women turned their gaze towards her; even in the eyes of males from different species, there was an unmistakable wild gleam.

"Sister, you’ve come to the Wilderness Region for the Chong Pupil, haven’t you? You’re not interested in the Lord of Hongmeng too, are you?"

The enchanting woman with fox tails smiled coyly, a peculiar, mesmerizing light flashing in her eyes as her snow-white tails swayed behind her with supreme enchantment.

"Any prodigy interests me!"

The Fairy beneath the light veil spoke, her voice as serene as still water. Her clear eyes looked toward Yishan Mountain, full of curiosity.

I wonder if the Lord of Hongmeng, who has never shown himself, will appear?

But that messenger, the Lifu Star Master, who is suspected to be a deity, should show up this time, right?

Otherwise, the four newly promoted divine creatures alone would not be a match for the Ancient God Mountain.
