Chapter 114: Chapter 104 The Gods of Tiandu

Boom—

In the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a blood pillar thick as a mountain suddenly surged up, piercing through the boundless sky, dispersing the clouds, and dyeing the entire sky a deep crimson, like blood.

The vast blood Qi rolled tumultuously, accompanied by an endless divine pressure that emerged, pressuring the Ninth Layer Heaven, trembling the mountains and valleys. Within ten thousand li, that terrifying pressure could be felt, releasing wildly as if it knew no bounds.

It was as if in that moment, a supreme and matchless deity descended upon earth, shaking the mortal realm.

"What!"

Outside the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the Lord Mansion Master sitting above Demon Suppression City could no longer maintain his calm. His figure shook, nearly tumbling from the void.

It was all because of that blood Qi, that pressure; it was too overwhelming, like an abyss or a vast sea, making even a being of the Heavenly Divine Realm like himself feel deep terror, as if an ant facing a giant dragon.

This was no pressure from the Heavenly Divine Realm; it was clearly that of the incomparable Sovereign Realm—the Divine!

Could it be that the Beast God in the deepest reaches has reached the Divine Spirit Realm spoken of in legends?

On having this thought, even the Lord Mansion Master showed a horrified expression. If the Beast God became such a being, how would Xiafeng Country withstand this demon beast turmoil?

"Such formidable pressure, unprecedented!"

"Far more terrifying than the Lord Mansion Master’s pressure, could this be the legendary Supreme Divine?"

Countless people inside and outside of Demon Suppression City were shocked, completely submitting under this boundless pressure, with not a single person able to withstand it.

If the Lord Mansion Master’s pressure was like a vast sea, then this suddenly erupted pressure was like the infinite starry sky, unbearable.

Even at such a great distance, it was still hard to bear.

"Divine... Realm!"

The Crown Prince refused to submit, his True Yuan surging forth, struggling to resist with his entire body trembling violently, almost unable to withstand the pressure and collapsing to his knees, but eventually, he endured.

Drenched in sweat, his eyes, however, looked determinedly towards the boundless, tumbling blood Qi of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, full of shock, but even more so filled with resolve.

He was able to produce the Seven-colored Light on the Stele of Power, his potential and strength both proven, called a possible possessor of divine qualifications, who might one day become one of the Supreme Divines of Tiandu Continent, invincible under Heaven and Earth.

Witnessing the real Divine pressure, his resolve to pursue this path strengthened, determined to attain the Divine Position one day.

"How powerful the blood Qi, how dreadful the pressure, surpassing that above the Heavenly Divine Realm, could it be that Hongtian Great Saint has already..."

The 18th Divine Elder, Zhang Bailong, not far from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, was filled with shock, staring toward the direction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

As a Heavenly Divine Realm Expert, he too could feel the boundless, terrifying pressure surpassing everything, comparable only to the Martial God Palace Master.

And that Divine in that direction... could only be Hongtian Great Saint!

Wasn’t Hongtian Great Saint severely wounded with Dao injuries? Why now can such a terrifying Dao power erupt, making it hard to believe all this.

Similarly, far away in the Royal Capital, the Kingdom Ancestor dealing with national affairs suddenly changed color, rushing to the Heavenly Dome above at once, gazing toward the direction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where the vast blood Qi dyed half the sky red, boundless Divine pressure undulating, clearly felt even from thousands of li away.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but show an expression of horror: "Divine... How is it possible, is my Xiafeng Country not doomed then..."

Even he felt despair, for the Divine was a high being that lorded over the vast Tiandu Continent, an existence that, once acted, could reduce Xiafeng Country to ashes in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

It had been assumed that the Beast God in the deepest parts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range entering the high ranks of the Heavenly Divine Realm was already impressive, but this blood Qi and pressure belonged only to a Divine Spirit Realm being.

Could it truly be that the Heavens intended to completely obliterate Xiafeng Country?

Throughout the vast Tiandu Continent, although the Hundred Countries stood tall, with countless forces, what had almost never changed were the Three Great Empires and the University standing in the Central Land since ancient times.

The Four Great Super Forces truly were created by Divine Beings and had once reached the pinnacle of resplendent glory, each ruling over a period on the Vast Continent.

Although the Divine Beings who established these forces had long passed away in the river of time, the Three Great Empires and the University were no longer unified over the continent, they continued to thrive, standing in the central and most fertile and spiritually enriched land, dominating the continent.

At this moment, within the Four Great Super Forces, a pair of materialized eyes suddenly appeared, all gazing towards the west of the continent, the location of Xiafeng Country.

"What magnificent Blood Qi, has Tiandu Continent given birth to another Divine Being?"

Above the Heavenly Dome of the Central Land, several vague figures emerged. Each one, indistinct and hard to discern, exuded a terrifying oppressive force that collapsed the surrounding void into nothingness.

However, they all restrained themselves, for if they were to fully unleash their might, the vast territories at the continent’s center would feel the impact.

"No, this oppressive force is somewhat familiar, as if we have encountered it before..." one person said, frowning.

"Indeed, I also feel it; this oppressive force is truly reminiscent of an old acquaintance," another person agreed.

"Could it be—Hongtian Great Saint!?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone recalled, but someone said, "Impossible, I had just sent a Divine Elder with my Divine Decree to sense Hongtian Great Saint’s Qi Mechanism. It was very weak, and whether he could fight in the Heaven Punishment Battle is also in question. His Dao injury is terrifying, it has spread throughout his body, I was actually planning to discuss with you all a solution. Hongtian Great Saint’s combat power is indispensable."

The speaker was none other than the Martial God Palace Master, a Supreme Divine from that time.

He had clearly sensed Hongtian Great Saint’s Qi Mechanism through the Divine Decree previously, and the Dao injury was extremely serious, but now such a terrifying Blood Qi had erupted, contradicting the earlier situation.

"Thus, why is there such a strong surge of Blood Qi and Qi Mechanism erupting; it clearly belongs to Hongtian Great Saint, nobody else," the group soon confirmed.

Divine Beings on Tiandu Continent were not many, they could be counted on one’s fingers, and they had all interacted with each other, hence recognizing the aura was easy. Even though many had not been in contact with Hongtian Great Saint for years, they could still sense it.

"Could it be said that Hongtian Great Saint is feigning injury and not wishing to participate in the Heaven Punishment Battle?" a Divine Being wondered.

"Impossible, the Heaven Punishment Battle is of major significance, Hongtian Great Saint had long been involved, and the outbreak of his Dao injury was related to it. Besides, when the nest is overturned, not an egg remains intact; this he surely understands well. Moreover, if he were feigning injury, why would he release his Blood Qi?"

A Divine Being spoke, ensconced in a waterfall made of countless Dao Traces, exuding power. His words carried great persuasion, and momentarily the other Divine Beings nodded in agreement.

"I agree with Dutian Saint’s views."

"So do I."

Finally, the Dutian Saint shrouded in a Dao Trace Waterfall said, "Alright, let’s set these matters aside for now. Later on, each of us should send a Heavenly God to the Demon Beast Mountain Range with a Divine Decree to pay a visit. It’s said that a small country named Xiafeng Country is holding an auction there, and there may be Divine-level Secret Treasures appearing. I suspect this Secret Treasure is extraordinary, it might even concern those races."

Towards the end, almost all the Divine Beings had heavy expressions. Although enraged and startled by the races that had imprisoned them generation after generation in Tiandu as a prison-like world, they were profoundly aware of the terror of these races. Otherwise, generation after generation of Divine Being would not have perished after venturing beyond this world.

These races were their deepest taboo.

And they would not have secretly planned the "Heaven Punishment" for nearly ten thousand years!

"In the coming days, let’s not move about rashly. I think those races have begun to gain some insight into parts of the Heaven Punishment plan," said Dutian Saint in a solemn voice. "Let’s keep things as normal as possible for now and wait for the day of Heaven Punishment."

"Agreed!"

Subsequently, the silhouettes of Divine Beings in the void vanished, all but mere Divine Thought Avatars, not their true forms.

At the same time, in the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, boundless Divine pressure was released recklessly, sweeping across the sky and causing the mountains and ravines to tremble in fear. Even several mountain ranges began to alarmingly crumble with booming sounds.

Especially within the Ancient Hall, hall after hall collapsed, a frightful pressure ominously permeated, mainly targeting a mysterious figure in a black robe, causing his garment to whip violently in the air.

A pair of ice-cold eyes, through the World Heart Fragment, landed on the figure beneath the black robe—Ye Chen—who was showing only a refined chin. He looked up fearlessly at Hongtian Great Saint and with a detached smile said, "Hongtian Great Saint, eager for battle so soon after your recovery? Do you wish to test your strength? If so, I don’t mind joining you in battle."

These words dropped, and a Divine presence as vast as Hongtian Great Saint’s burst forth.

Divine Beings, confronting each other!
