Chapter 75: Slaying the Venerable

"Sss..."

The bombardment ended; Mengchen and Shi Hao both became instantly incandescent, brilliant as two great suns, bathing in seven-colored light rain as they killed forward with force.

"Roar..."

Venerable Sea Dragon let out a great roar, and the seawater surged backward toward the sky, like one great waterfall after another, connecting to the Nine Heavens.

He manifested his massive Sea Dragon true form, driving the sky-filling seawater to charge forward, his entire body flashing with Runes, scattering resplendent golden light.

"So what if you are a giant dragon? Watch me beat you until you're like a worm."

Mengchen sped upward, gripping the magnificent Gilded Zen Staff, causing the Heaven Domain and Earth Domain to roar.

Beside him, Shi Hao held a Broken Sword in his hand, and with a light swing, it seemed capable of cleaving the void.

The massive, fierce dragon head opened its maw and came forward, the pressure immense; Mengchen and Shi Hao looked so tiny.

Facing the giant dragon head, the two separated to the left and right to fight, their figures flashing as they avoided the head and struck directly at the thick, scale-covered massive body.

"Bang!"

"Ssh!"

Mengchen swung the Gilded Zen Staff, and Shi Hao brandished the Broken Sword to hack, both exerting their full strength.

Under their repeated attacks, the Runes on the giant dragon were shattered, dragon scales crumbled and fell off from time to time, and gushes of dragon blood sprayed out.

Having missed his strike and suffered injuries, Venerable Sea Dragon roared in anger.

"Roar!"

Venerable Sea Dragon let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, "You two heaven-slaying little beasts, how dare you wound me to this extent!"

In an instant, the surrounding seawater surged and swept up, and as the dragon tail swept across, sky-filling Runes emerged, knocking Mengchen and Shi Hao back.

"Kill!"

As Venerable Sea Dragon shouted, he transformed back into human form, his hair standing on end, his pupils sharp as lightning, the armor on his body glowing, his entire body surging with battle intent that shook the four seas.

He rose into the air, his two hands manifesting incomparably sharp dragon claws, and as he sped forward, he clawed toward Mengchen's chest, erupting with bursts of roaring sounds, the Runes dense, the clanging deafening.

"Clang!"

With a heaven-shaking sound, Mengchen swung the Gilded Zen Staff and punched the dragon claw, vibrating his arm continuously to unleash dozens of layers of violent force, wanting to smash both dragon claws in one go.

"Zheng zheng!" sounds rang out; Shi Hao brandished the Broken Sword, the blade like rain, diffusing endless gilded ripples as it blasted over.

With a "Boom," waves flashed in Venerable Sea Dragon's eyes, and seawater gathered and rolled up thousands of feet high, grinding away all the incoming sword blades; Rune fragments were endless, hissing in the void.

Seeing this, Shi Hao had ten Cave Heavens shining brightly behind him, lightning dense, and a massive, ferocious mythical lion manifested, killing forward with force.

He was putting his full strength into breaking through that seawater defense, wanting to deliver a fatal blow.

Mengchen and Venerable Sea Dragon battled there; as the Gilded Zen Staff and dragon claws collided fiercely, Runes gushed out, like two war gods in a life-or-death duel.

Mengchen's strength stunned everyone below; they were all extremely terrified.

The creatures of the Divine Mountain Alliance were even more so; they had not expected Mengchen to be able to fight Venerable Sea Dragon to this point, and many felt their hair stand on end, asking themselves that if they went up, they would likely be blasted to pieces instantly.

Here, this was the true peak battle, the most dazzling and eye-catching one.

A metallic trembling sound rang out, Runes roared between heaven and earth, and Mengchen and Venerable Sea Dragon leaped simultaneously, their movements as swift as lightning, clashing thousands of times in an instant, colliding continuously.

This battle was intense and dangerous; a single mistake could lead to falling on the spot. This was a confrontation of Runes, and even more so a life-or-death struggle of the flesh.

"Booming!"

A muffled sound came; the Gilded Zen Staff in Mengchen's hand rose into the clouds, carrying endless Runes, making the sky golden, and then the staff pressed down like a sky-supporting giant hammer, the killing intent surging.

Golden light obscured the sun, the murderous aura shaking the four seas.

"Hand of the Dragon God!" Venerable Sea Dragon said coldly.

Erupting with incomparable Runes, as the Runes surged, his two claws became like two five-fingered mountains, slamming toward the pressing Gilded Zen Staff; "Pu pu" sounds came, the divine might shaking the heavens, stirring up sky-filling terrifying air waves.

Seeing this, the crowd felt a chill in their hearts, not knowing what kind of power the collision of the two would erupt with.

"Boom!"

The massive Gilded Zen Staff slammed onto the two five-fingered mountains with force, causing the void to tremble; a deafening explosion rang out, and sky-filling divine light swept across the eight wildernesses.

"Crack!" The two five-fingered mountains were cracked, and at the same time, cracks appeared on Venerable Sea Dragon's two dragon claws, with fresh blood seeping out.

"Break for me!"

Mengchen's expression changed; the Cave Heavens behind him were brilliant and incandescent, divine light gushing out and pouring into the Gilded Zen Staff, its power climbing infinitely.

With a roar, he swung with all his might in anger, and the Gilded Zen Staff became unstoppable, smashing down.

"Boom!"

This strike was incomparably powerful; the two five-fingered mountains were instantly shattered, turning into light rain and scattering.

At the same time, Venerable Sea Dragon's two dragon claws also suddenly exploded into blood mist, bloody and terrifying. "Ah..." Venerable Sea Dragon roared in pain...

The next moment, the Gilded Zen Staff, which looked like a pillar supporting the sky, smashed down toward his face.

Unable to care about the immense pain, Venerable Sea Dragon could only raise his two remaining arms to defend.

"Bang!"

The staff smashed down, the two remaining arms exploded into blood mist again, and following this, the Sea Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly flying backward.

At this moment, Shi Hao spotted the opportunity, holding the Broken Sword, and with the mythical lion roaring at the sky, he pounced to kill.

The flying-backward Venerable Sea Dragon, having lost both arms and suffered immeasurable heavy injuries, had his Divine Power stagnate within his body for a moment; looking at the incoming Shi Hao, he could only coldly rebuke with a cold gaze: "You dare!"

"Hmph!" Shi Hao's face was grim, he let out a cold snort, his eyes cold and chilling, the mythical lion roared as it blasted out, and then the Broken Sword in his hand slashed down.

"Crack!"

Venerable Sea Dragon's head was severed, fresh blood sprayed out, scattering across the sea!

Shi Hao was quick-witted and fast-handed, putting Venerable Sea Dragon's body into his bag, and said with satisfaction: "Venerable meat obtained."

A generation of sea overlords perished just like that...

"No..., my Clan Leader." The members of the Sea God Clan watching from below wailed in unison.

Immediately, they looked death in the face, all soared into the air like dragons, and charged toward Mengchen and Shi Hao to kill them.

Just at this moment, endless creatures leaped out from the sea in all directions; there were dragon fish, tiger sharks, and red-gold octopuses, their bodies as massive as mountains, their auras terrifying, surging violently across the sea surface.

These creatures appeared and shouted: "Venerable Sea Dragon is dead, kill them for me! Leave not a single one of the Sea Dragon clan alive."

"For countless years, the Sea Dragon clan has relied on the might of their Sea God ancestor to oppress us; now, we can finally take revenge and wash away our shame."

"Kill!"

These sea creatures had all long suffered under the oppression of the Sea God clan; now that the strongest of the Sea God clan was dead, these creature tribes no longer had any misgivings.

The Sea Dragons, who should have been charging at Mengchen and Shi Hao, were now being surrounded layer by layer by the other creatures.

The situation fell into chaos for a time.

Mengchen and Shi Hao broke out of the encirclement and headed straight for Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi.

"Let's go! We must leave here quickly!" Mengchen said after reuniting with everyone.

Mengchen and Shi Hao advanced side by side, clearing the path ahead; they walked along the stone steps toward the towering Kuya, for the Kunpeng Yichao was right there.

……

The Kunpeng Nest, grand and majestic, sat atop the Kuya of the reef, surrounded by a permeation of chaos Qi.

It was ever-changing; at first, it was ancient and plain, lacking luster, but upon closer inspection, one would find it gradually brightening, turning entirely brilliant, transforming into a radiant gold, until finally, it became pitch-black and lusterless once more.

This transformation was stupefying and incomparably mysterious; this Dao field was filled with mist, bearing the glorious marks of an ancient generation's peerless powerhouse.

At this time, countless people had already gathered here, the fighting was exceptionally brutal, and corpses had piled up like mountains.

"Eh, what is that?" a creature exclaimed aloud.

The crowd of creatures all looked toward the sound, only to see a glimmer of treasure light radiating from the entrance of the Kunpeng Nest, releasing an incomparably grand fluctuation.

Under that grand fluctuation, the entrance to the Kunpeng Nest split open.

Seeing this scene, the creatures who had originally been racking their brains over how to open the Kunpeng Divine Nest revealed unexpected joy.

In an instant, the crowd of creatures became incredibly frantic, scrambling to rush in, with bloody battles breaking out from time to time.

Now that the entrance to the Kunpeng Nest was open, the chaos mist within surged, gushing outward.

"Kill!" The shouts of battle shook the heavens.

Heroes rose up together, all with eyes bloodshot from killing, charging toward the entrance; to obtain the Kunpeng fortune, they had cast aside all regard for life and death.

Countless creatures had already slaughtered their way into the Kunpeng Nest.

……

After a long pursuit, Mengchen and the others finally arrived at the entrance of the Divine Nest.

"The Kunpeng Nest has actually been opened? Wasn't it said that only those with ten Cave Heavens could open it?" Mengchen was very surprised.

But now, the facts were right before their eyes, leaving no room to dwell too deeply on the reasons.

Looking at the scene at the nest entrance, dripping with blood and strewn with corpses, Mengchen signaled to the others: "People have already killed their way in; we must speed up, otherwise the Kunpeng fortune will change hands."

"Let's go quickly!" Shi Hao looked anxious; he had come for the Kunpeng fortune, so how could he let others take it?

Immediately, Mengchen, Shi Hao, Tianhu Shaonü, Heizi, and Maoqiu on Shi Hao's shoulder, went deep inside.
