Chapter 191: Battle, Each Displaying Their Divine Abilities

"Clang..."

A violent trembling sound rang out as the Gilded Zen Staff in Mengchen's hand met the blood-colored roots that had exploded toward him.

He channeled his Divine Power, his entire body glowing, and the Gilded Zen Staff also gradually radiated boundless golden light, growing increasingly intense.

"Roar...!"

The Iron-Blood Ancient Tree roared, its entire body surging with blood-colored radiance that rushed over through those blood-colored roots.

"Explode for me..." Mengchen shouted explosively, and eleven Cave Heavens instantly appeared behind him, becoming incomparably brilliant.

Following that, the Cave Heavens spewed out sky-filling Divine Radiance and Runes, causing brilliant divine patterns to emerge behind Mengchen.

The divine patterns were peerless, the rosy light endless; in this instant, ten thousand rays of light shone from Mengchen's pupils, and infinite divine energy circulated, causing the Gilded Zen Staff to emit a humming sound.

The Iron-Blood Ancient Tree was greatly shocked; even the group of Venerables battling here were struck with terror, for this aura was truly too terrifying.

The Gilded Zen Staff was brilliant with golden light, emitting powerful divine energy, and a boundless radiance suddenly expanded outward.

"Boom..." The blood-colored roots were annihilated in an instant, turning into flying ash.

"Pfft...!" As the radiance expanded and the front lines erupted, the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree and the others all suffered the impact, spitting out blood one after another.

Afterward, runic light intertwined and laws densely covered the area as the group of Venerables took action, resisting one after another.

At this moment, those who had been entangled by the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree and the group of Venerables, after being hit by the shockwave, borrowed the force to flee rapidly, escaping this place of trouble.

"The staff in that brat's hand is an extremely powerful divine artifact, everyone be careful!" the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree roared in shock, blood-colored light flickering all over its body.

Without it needing to remind them, those few Venerables had already seen that the staff was very unusual and truly astonishing; once Divine Power was injected, its might became boundless, making it a rare secret treasure.

"Let us join forces to slay him; such a divine artifact should not be buried in the hands of a mere Array Formation Realm cultivator," one Venerable shouted.

This Venerable was none other than the Yinshi Zunzhe that Mengchen had seen earlier on the Magma Sea shore.

Together with it were the Golden Giant, the Five-Colored Deer, the Nine-Headed Snake, and a Purple-Gold Ant...

"Swoosh..." In this very instant, golden flames burned in the Magma Sea, and two Daoists transformed from Jinu Zu appeared, controlling the magma.

Appearing alongside the two were four more Venerables; they were the two Jinu Zu Venerables and four Fire-Avian clan Venerables who had been heavily wounded by Mengchen and fled earlier.

Clearly, they had already silently reached an agreement to join forces in an attack to slaughter Mengchen and the others.

"Wanting to bully the few with the many! Did you ask me first?"

At this time, Shi Hao took action, a Vermilion Bird forming in his palm, after which he drew upon the magma, triggering great waves that surged in reverse, sweeping toward this group of Venerables from the Primordial Treasure Realm.

A fierce battle erupted! "Ah!..., Roar..."

Xiaohuang and Heizi attacked simultaneously, each revealing their massive true forms; a Zhenhuang flapped its wings, and true fire covered half the firmament.

On the other side, a Jiuyou Ao roared, its sharp teeth flashing with cold light like daggers; as it attacked while treading on air, endless black mist accompanied by Chaos Qi shot from its body, obscuring the sun and sky, as if for an instant half the world had returned to the beginning of Chaos.

"This..., these are the descendants of the Ten Fiends Zhenhuang and the Ten Fiends Jiuyou Ao; everyone attack together, capture them and interrogate them for their precious techniques."

The Nine-Headed Snake roared loudly, all nine heads becoming incandescent, spewing divine light that covered the sky and earth, submerging the front; it crushed forward at high speed.

Most terrifying of all, it activated a nine-colored divine ring, which truly possessed heaven-toppling might and was invincible; it was a secret treasure refined by a god.

This Nine-Headed Snake possessed terrifying strength; even among Venerables, it was a top-tier existence.

It unleashed the nine-colored divine ring, directly crushing toward Xiaohuang. "Just a scaly snake with a few extra heads, you want the Zhenhuang technique? You aren't worthy! Die!" Xiaohuang scolded angrily, flapping its phoenix wings; immediately, golden-red light shone brilliantly, and a true phoenix feather was unleashed.

The true feather appeared, wreathed in immortal mist, shining with ten thousand rays of light, as if it had pierced through the void to reach the Nine Heavens. This was left behind by her mother; this true feather contained supreme power, though she could not yet drive it to its limit.

The true feather burned, instantly transforming into the phantom of a peerless Zhenhuang. The Zhenhuang phantom opened its eyes, golden flames rising, "Ah...", it let out a piercing cry, then flapped its wings and soared, instantly annihilating the nine-colored divine ring unleashed by the Nine-Headed Snake.

Following that, it fought bravely; the Zhenhuang's sharp claws flashed. The Nine-Headed Snake fought back desperately, but with just one strike, the Zhenhuang's sharp claws tore through the Nine-Headed Snake's chest, and its sharp phoenix beak plucked out the snake's gall, then crushed it instantly, causing the Nine-Headed Snake Venerable to completely lose its life.

On the other side, a Purple-Gold Ant with boundless strength suppressed the dark field released by Heizi one after another; it had infinite Divine Power, its purple-gold divine light peerless, and for a time, it pressed down upon Heizi.

The Purple-Gold Ant laughed coldly, saying: "Haha! To encounter a Ten Fiends of the mere Array Formation Realm today, what a heaven-sent blessing!"

It crushed forward aggressively, already certain of victory over Heizi.

"Nine-Nether World-Extinguishing!" Seeing it press forward, Heizi was enraged and directly utilized the peerless divine ability inherited by the Jiuyou Ao clan.

In an instant, black divine patterns appeared behind the massive Jiuyou Ao, surging with endless mist, and the nine dragon heads on its tail roared hideously, emitting bursts of hissing sounds within the mist.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..." The nine dragon-headed tails surged forward in competition, Divine Power released boundlessly.

"Hmph! You think you are a Tianjiao Yi? With this level of strength, you aren't worthy of contending with me. So what if you are a Venerable? Today I will let you know that the name of the Ten Fiends is not called in vain."

After Heizi scolded lightly, as the nine dragon-headed tails struck out, it formed mysterious hand seals again, and as the black divine patterns behind it flickered, they shot out chains of order.

"Bang..." The Purple-Gold Ant swung its massive hand, its force breaking ten thousand jun, instantly repelling the incoming nine dragon heads.

"Bind!" The chains of order attacked; Heizi raised its massive foot from afar and stomped on the air, causing the void to tremble, but at the same time, those chains became turbulent, firmly binding the Purple-Gold Ant.

"Die!" Heizi stomped on the air again violently, its aura of malice surging, and the nine dragon heads lunged hideously, biting onto its body and tearing with extreme force.

"Pfft..." In an instant, the body of the Purple-Gold Ant Venerable was torn into nine segments, golden blood spilling into the magma, causing the magma to steam.

On the side, Yuechan and Xiyao, who had not taken action, watched this scene and shivered all over; they had not expected that Heizi, who rarely took action, had actually grown to the point of being able to slay a Venerable.

Even Mengchen, who was standing by with an incomparably magnificent aura, was somewhat astonished after noticing this; Heizi had indeed become much stronger during this period! The Ten Fiends bloodline was truly terrifying; its strength had grown so astonishingly without him noticing.

On the other side, Shi Hao battled the Golden Giant; although Shi Hao appeared particularly small when facing the Golden Giant, he relied on his Kunpeng wings to make his movements incomparably agile, and although the Golden Giant's fists carried boundless power, they ultimately missed entirely, unable to pose even a hint of a threat to him.

"Clang..."

The Broken Sword in Shi Hao's hand was brilliant and glorious, sword light flashing as it continuously sliced the Golden Giant's body, causing rolling golden blood to gush out.

"You weak little ant, if you have the ability, take a punch from me head-on." The Golden Giant roared.

"Alright! Come, who's afraid of whom!" Shi Hao opened all ten Cave Heavens, which rotated behind him, becoming brilliant in an instant.

"Kunpeng Fist!" His entire body radiated divine light, brilliant and flawless, and the Kunpeng Rune appeared upon his fist.

"Hmph! Watch me smash your skull with one punch." The Golden Giant roared heaven-shakingly, swinging its fist as it arrived, Divine Power surging as if infinite.

"Bang..." The two fists collided, and the small-bodied Shi Hao was not sent flying; he caught the Golden Giant's punch, and in this strike, the two were evenly matched.

"A mere human, how can your physical body be this strong!" The Golden Giant's face was full of astonishment.

It thought of its Golden Giant clan, born with divine strength; even an ordinary clansman's punch was enough to reach ten thousand jin.

And it was a Venerable! A full-force strike with such cultivation had actually been blocked by a human youth; this was truly a bit hard to accept.
