CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 27 THE GLITTERING GOLDEN LIGHT OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS DIVINE MOUNTAIN (PART 3)_1

"Too terrifying!"

"Indeed hard to imagine!"

"I’m not dreaming, am I?"

All the powerhouses vigorously rubbed their eyes, their faces filled with doubt about life itself.

They looked at Yue Tixia, standing proudly in the sky as if the master of the world, resembling a Divine Lotus in full bloom. Her body was crystalline, her fairy-like stature graceful, like thin clouds veiling the bright moon, like a gentle breeze brushing against jade blossoms, resplendent and charming. Their hearts were shaken to the core.

"Good, good, good!"

The Patriarch of Yue Ti Clan cheered three times in succession, tears streaming down her face, wildly overjoyed. Although she had recited the "Meditation Method" and knew the greatness and the reality of the God of Hongmeng, she was still nervous about offering up Yue Tixia as a sacrifice, even with the Tushan Fox Demon’s guarantee. She worried that something might happen to Yue Tixia. But now, seeing Yue Tixia transformed and strengthened, she was relieved!

This was indeed a gift from Nature.

Tushan had not deceived her.

"How is this possible?"

Liu Er stumbled and fell from a cloud in the sky, eyes filled with astonishment. She had thought of a million possibilities, but never imagined this scenario.

"I take back what I said earlier!"

Wang Quan Zui looked at Yue Tixia above the altar and then turned to Wang Quan Baye, who was also standing in a daze, "Brother, do you think it’s still time for me to offer myself as a sacrifice?"

"Sis, you are ruthless, sacrificing yourself!"

Li Zizai, Yang Yitan, and others were shocked as they looked at Wang Quan Zui. In fact, they all harbored the idea of sacrificing themselves.

"Actually, I don’t want to try hard anymore!" Qing Muyuan, with her veiled pretty face, looked enviously at the sky.

That height was something she, in her lifetime—no, in ten lifetimes—could never reach.

"Wow, Sister Miaoyu, let’s do it together when the time comes!" Wang Quan Zui was very happy, realizing she wasn’t the only one who thought this way.

"How about adding me to the mix?" Li QiZhuo came over with a laugh.

"You guys, enough, be careful. The God of Hongmeng hasn’t appeared yet, and the outcome is still unknown!" Wang Quan Baye cautioned.

His gaze was extremely grave. In fact, he understood that with the current situation, if the God of Hongmeng really had malicious intent, no matter how cautious and guarded they were, it would be useless. The gap between them was just too large. So large that it was beyond his imagination.

Not to mention the God of Hongmeng. Even the common sacrificial animals that had just been offered up could now easily trounce all the human and demon powerhouses.

How could they fight?

There was no way to fight!

"I now believe that there is a power in this world that can change nature, transcend life and death, and the cycle of Reincarnation!" Dongfang Huaizhu was emotionally shaken, her delicate body trembling.

The scene she witnessed today was too impactful. Not just for her. Even her father, Dongfang Duyue, was questioning his life!

Ordinary sacrificial animals had turned into Divine Beasts that far surpassed the Demon Emperor. Yue Tixia, a weak woman who had barely reached the Demon King level, had become a horrifying existence capable of creating a whole new world!

Has the world gone mad?

"This definitely isn’t a power of this world; this is a creature from beyond the heavens!"

"It’s an Evil God!"

Thousands of miles away, a figure radiating golden light stood proudly among the clouds, gazing down upon Tushan, with intense light and hostility shining in his eyes.

Mists of Aolai, fragrance of peaches, command the demons with a rod that calms the sea.

Outside the Eastern Sea, within a curtain of water, all the fairies bow down to the one who rivals the sky in height.

He was the Third Young Master of Aolai Country. An existence at the very pinnacle of heaven and earth in this world. This world was like his own backyard. This was his territory. He absolutely wouldn’t allow foreign creatures to strut around.

A golden, glowing staff appeared in his hands. His aura surged as he lifted the staff, ready to smash it down on the altar atop Tushan.

BOOM!

A thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky, and an extremely terrifying presence cascaded down from the depths of the heavens.

Danger. Extreme danger.

The staff in the hands of the Third Young Master of Aolai Country paused, his eyes emitting two beams of golden light, peering into the sky. He wanted to see just what kind of being this Evil God was.

"That... That is..."

"What is that?"

"Two beams of golden light, and at the source of the light seems to be a golden figure?"

"That is... the man from the legends!"

"That... the man who divided the inside from the outside!"

All the strong beings atop Tushan looked up, shocked. The vast majority of people and demons didn’t know who the Third Young Master of Aolai Country was. But old antiques like Huandu Qingtian, Poison Emperor of Southern Kingdom, while they had never seen the Third Young Master himself, knew of his existence. Those in power within the One Qi Daoist Alliance also knew some information.

They watched with shock and anticipation. Could this legendary man, who had swept through both the inside and the outside, deal with the "God" summoned by the Tushan Fox Demon?

BOOM!

A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere in the sky. The thunder roared. The heavens swayed. The earth trembled. Everyone’s ears rang with the noise.

BOOM.

Another thunderclap followed, like Candle Dragon tearing the sky. All were dumbstruck. The sky had been torn open with a gash. It spanned heaven and earth, like an abyss: profound, obscure, and mysterious.

"Is it coming?"

Although the Third Young Master of Aolai Country felt the strength of the opponent, he was not the least bit fearful; rather, his fighting spirit soared, his will to battle surged.

Under the astonished gazes of all beings, human and demon alike, the sky-rending crack underwent a transformation. Specks of divine light began to pervade from the fissure, quickly enveloping the whole world, covering the entire starry sky.

A Golden Light Path, accompanied by a Peerless Goddess, extended from a place distant and immeasurable. It seemed so far away, yet in the next moment, it had already reached the skies above Tushan.

The Goddess was dressed in red, her appearance peerless, her aura sacred and noble—without equal in all the world. Before her, heaven and earth paled in comparison.

"Is this the God of Hongmeng?"

All beings, human and demon alike, were astonished. The God of Hongmeng was a Goddess?

The Third Young Master of Aolai Country saw Ah Zhu, and he paused slightly. The golden staff he had lifted stopped mid-air. He hadn’t expected a woman to appear.

Only a few people like Tushan Rongrong truly understood. This was not the God of Hongmeng. She was a servant of the Upper God.

"Hey, wherever you came from, go back to it, or don’t blame me for being rude!" the Third Young Master of Aolai Country shouted, pointing his long staff.

He didn’t want to hit a woman.

However, Ah Zhu didn’t pay him any attention.

"I respectfully request my God’s Divine Mandate!" Ah Zhu’s graceful body knelt in the direction of God’s kingdom, her arms raised high above her head in reverence.

"What?"

Everyone’s eyes widened. Their minds went blank.

My God? Such a peerless goddess was merely a servant?

"Granted!"

A grand voice as if from ancient times echoed, resounding deep within every soul. Everyone saw at the edge of the sky a terrifying and majestic Temple manifesting itself. It was indescribably grand, vast, awe-inspiring, and sacred. All the powerhouses felt incredibly minuscule and fragile in front of this Temple, not even worth a speck of dust. It struck fear into them, driving them to despair.

Let alone them, even Liu Er above Tushan was trembling. This was a level of terror she had never witnessed before.

In the center of the Temple sat an awe-inspiring being enveloped in divine light, surrounded by surging Chaos Qi, with infinite worlds being born, evolving, and perishing behind him. To see him was akin to seeing the universe and all of existence, to see the transformations of the vast ocean into mulberry fields, the evolution of all things.

His gaze fell upon them.

In the Fox Demon World, the sun and moon appeared simultaneously, as if all things faded away. Only this pair of sun and moon was so dazzlingly brilliant. They knew these weren’t the sun and moon. But instead, they were the eyes of that indescribable, terrifying being.

Imperceptibly, a great terror welled up in their hearts.

Submission.

Only submission could bring release.

Only submission could bring freedom.

They couldn’t help but lower their heads. They didn’t dare to look directly. They didn’t dare to pry.

"AAAAH!"

The Third Young Master of Aolai Country was furious. He knew the other party was very strong, but the feeling of being ignored was too terrible! No one dared ignore him. Not even a god!

"Hey, Evil God, take this hit from me!" he cried, swinging his staff toward the figure manifesting deep in the heavens of Hongmeng.

As he took action, his staff seemed to stretch infinitely.

"Don’t!" Liu Er exclaimed in horror. She knew her third brother was powerful, but he was absolutely no match for that terrifying being.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her to shout. Moreover, even if the Third Young Master of Aolai Country had heard her, he might not have stopped.

Everyone held their breath. They were both shocked and impressed. As expected of the Third Young Master of Aolai Country, he dared to challenge such a being. It really was courting death! Indeed, he was the man at the pinnacle of the heavens and the earth at that time.

All eyes were sparkling; no one dared even blink, fearing they would miss the slightest detail.

However, the actions of the Third Young Master of Aolai Country did not draw the attention of that great Divine Spirit. All they saw was a Golden Command intricately woven from the Principle of Taoist Rhyme descending from the sky. The Command emitted a hazy radiance, and the Third Young Master of Aolai Country’s peerless strike landed squarely upon it.

Immediately following this, everyone was dumbfounded. The seemingly soft and silky Golden Command did not even tremble in the slightest, while the golden rod that appeared as a pillar holding up the heavens shattered inch by inch, quickly turning into dust and vanishing between heaven and earth.

The Third Young Master of Aolai Country, the instigator, was struck heavily, plummeting from the firmament and creating a bottomless crater upon impact with the ground.

"HISS!"

All the powerhouses of the Demon Race and Human Race inhaled sharply, shocked to their core. Even without knowing that this man was a being at the peak of the world, they had felt his strength just moments before. Yet such a powerful being, with all his might, could not even withstand a single Command.

What’s more, they saw clearly that the great existence had not even paid him any heed, and that the Golden Command was not meant for attack. It was simply continuing its descent as usual.

The Golden Command fell into Ah Zhu’s hands. She bowed respectfully, then stood up, her gaze commanding, as she looked towards the Third Young Master of Aolai Country, "Blaspheming a Divine Spirit, you should be executed for your crime!"

Everyone was astonished. But no one dared voice any objections. The Third Young Master of Aolai Country himself was stubborn in his collision with that terrifying being; wasn’t this courting death?

"No, please!" Liu Er rushed over, pleading on her knees, "I beseech the Divine Envoy for mercy. My third brother did not mean to collide with the God of Hongmeng. I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf!"

In truth, her strength was not inferior to the Third Young Master’s, but she knew that to fight meant certain death. The gap was too vast. There was simply no comparison.

"My God is merciful. Considering it is his first offense and that he has contributed to protecting the Human-Demon Fishes, his death penalty is pardoned. However, he cannot escape punishment!" Ah Zhu raised the Golden Command, announcing, "He will be suppressed under the Five Elements Divine Mountain for five hundred years!"

"Thank you, God of Hongmeng, thank you, Divine Envoy!" Liu Er was overjoyed and expressed deep gratitude.

Five hundred years was nothing to them; to keep their lives was fortunate enough!

But where was the Five Elements Mountain?

Not only was she confused, but the powerhouses of the Human-Demon Fishes were equally puzzled. They had never heard of such a mountain.

RUMBLE!

Just then, a golden rune flew out from the Command, instantly arriving above the spot where the Third Young Master of Aolai Country had fallen. To the shock of all onlookers, the light from the golden rune intensified. An endless weave of Principle of Taoist Rhyme spread out, forming a Five Elements Divine Mountain imbued with the power of the five elements, towering ten thousand feet high.

The Five Elements Divine Mountain, like the palm of a hand, pressed down, and time and space solidified. The Third Young Master of Aolai Country, who had just climbed up and was about to flee, trembled and found himself unable to move.

"No!"

A roar rose, and the Five Elements Divine Mountain crashed down with a thunderous impact.

BOOM.

The ground trembled violently as the Divine Mountain rooted itself beside Tushan, connecting with the surrounding energy veins. Without the mandate of Hongmeng, absolutely no being in the Fox Demon World could break free.

"HISS!"

"Is this the power to alter heaven and earth?"

"A single rune transformed into a towering Five Elements Divine Mountain?"

"Suppressing the man at the pinnacle of their world?"

"Terrifying indeed!"

The powerhouses of the Human-Demon Fishes gazed at the Divine Mountain that appeared beside Tushan, utterly astonished for a long time.
