Chapter 1724: Golden Dragon Mountain Lu Taiyi

"Federation Chief Qi Huang, you knew that a conspiracy involving the Dragon Race's Ten Thousand Dragons' Ancestral Blood Rites was going to happen and yet you didn't warn us... In the end, our entire ship figuratively almost capsized. Hahaha!" said Li Luo, feeling annoyed when he learned that the Divine Continent Federation knew everything beforehand. His life had been at great risk after all.

"Federation Chief Li Luo, you are a man of exceptional talent and also one of the main pillars supporting our defense against the Shadow World. The hopes of the entire world rest on your shoulders, so how could we simply sit by and watch you get into trouble?" said Qi Huang with a smile. "The Divine Continent Federation has been closely observing everything that happened here. If the situation was about to reach an unsalvageable point, we would definitely have protected you, even if it came at the cost of allowing the Desire Devil King of Sin to escape."

The implication of these words was that Li Luo was far more important to the Divine Continent Federation than a single one of the Ten Devil Kings of Sin. They would naturally never trade him for anyone on the other side.

As they were speaking, in the spatial rift in the depths of the void near the Realm Wall, the gigantic, pale face took action once again. A rain of gloomy ash fell, condensing into a gray chain that spanned across the sky. The gray chain overflowed with a chilly aura, as though it was capable of imprisoning one's soul. When it descended, the eyes of countless living creatures below turned dim, as if their vitality had been sucked away. Clearly, the Death Devil King of Sin had not given up and was planning to help the Desire Devil King of Sin escape.

Qi Huang gave a shallow smile as he stretched his hand out. A blinding ball of light condensed in his palm, expanding at a rapid speed. In just a few moments, a temple of light as large as a mountain appeared in the air.

"Heavenly Radiance Godly Palace, Seals Myriad Devils," Qi Huang muttered. The temple was gilded from top to bottom, overflowing with boundless light source origin. Within it were the sounds of chanting, as though gods lived within. Its vast divine power swept across the heavens and the earth and completely negated the gloomy aura exuded by the Death Devil King of Sin's Soul Imprisonment Chains.

The humongous temple then ascended into the skies, colliding against the Soul Imprisonment Chains. A heaven-shaking explosion reverberated across the sky as a terrifying energy storm ensued. It was as though all of the worldly natural energy within the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent had been riled up by this exchange. The Soul Imprisonment Chains began to dissipate and fragment under the sacred light.

"How powerful,"

thought Li Luo, his eyes solemn. As expected of the strongest individual in the ten divine continents—he had easily suppressed the Death Devil King of Sin's attack.

"Chieftain Zhen, help me contain the Desire Devil King of Sin!" said Li Luo. At the moment Qi Huang took action, the heavily injured Desire Devil King of Sin had once again attempted to escape. This was why they had to stop it.

Dissatisfied that she was the one receiving orders, Zhen Linshuang almost reflexively kicked up a fuss. However, she forced herself to stop and coldly snorted, opening up her gaping maw and spewing out a devastating torrent of dragonbreath towards the Desire Devil King of Sin. The Dragon Ancestor Horn on Li Luo's forehead flickered with lightning energy that turned into a humongous roaring dragon. As the two worked together, the escaped Desire Devil King of Sin was once again trapped, letting out furious howls.

Li Tianji, Lin Miao, and the Dragon Race experts finally heaved sighs of relief. However, just as they thought that they had secured the victory, things went awry yet again!

Bang!

The void around Qi Huang suddenly collapsed, and a gigantic skeletal hand stretched out. The withered giant hand was surrounded by a black fog, from which countless tortured wails could be heard. If one listened carefully, they were cries of hunger. Whoever heard these wails would be overcome by an intense hunger, their eyes turning red as they gnawed at their own flesh.

Li Luo's expression changed when he saw this. The aura that the withered hand emanated was no weaker than that of Qi Huang and Zhen Linshuang! This was another one of the Ten Devil Kings of Sin. More importantly, this Devil King had not attacked from behind the crack in the Realm Wall—it had been lying in wait somewhere within the divine continents!

Clearly, the Shadow World had also left some cards in reserve to deal with any unexpected surprises.

"That is the Famine Devil King of Sin," said Zhen Linshuang as she took action to stop the Famine Devil King of Sin. Unfortunately, the Desire Devil King of Sin didn't plan to give her the chance. It screamed, and all of its withered flesh and blood began to burn, turning into an extremely terrifying form of the Devil Flames of Desire. The sudden outburst destroyed all the restraints Li Luo and Zhen Linshuang had placed.

"Damn it!" Zhen Linshuang roared in fury. She had no choice but to pull back and increase the suppression on the Desire Devil King of Sin, preventing it from escaping. Otherwise, the Divine Continent Federation's plan would be in vain.

Li Luo also planned to take action, but upon seeing Qi Huang's calm expression, he stopped. It looked as though the latter had already expected this. Sure enough, as the skinny hand covered with a terrifying black fog approached Qi Huang, the void was suddenly sundered and a silverish-white light sliced through the air. A resonant sword hymn followed, shaking the world. The silverish-white sword energy poured out endlessly from the void, striking towards the giant hand.

Bang!

The sword energy contained an indescribably terrifying coldness, causing the black fog to freeze before shattering into a sky filled with inky icicles. A furious roar came from the depths of the void, and a huge skeletal figure with green eyes appeared. It looked as though it had been starved for years, staring ferociously at the gap in the void where the sword energy had emerged from.

"Hehe." Laughter tinged with age rang out. "Famine Devil King of Sin."

"Lu Taiyi from Golden Dragon Mountain. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The laugh immediately roused the spirits of the experts present.

Li Luo was taken aback.

"Golden Dragon Mountain? Lu Taiyi? Another Supreme Triple Crowned King with the surname of Lu? Doesn't this mean that he's from the same family as Qing'er?"

Golden Dragon Mountain's foundation far surpassed any ordinary Heavenly Emperor power after all.

As Li Luo peered into the newly opened rift, all he could see was a nonstop torrent of silverish white sword energy pouring out. Above it stood a white-haired old man with an ancient green sword on his back. His eyes pierced through space, fixated on the Famine Devil King of Sin. Li Luo's attention was suddenly directed away, as if attracted by something. He peered closely behind the old man. Lu Taiyi wasn't the only one who had arrived—there was one more person. This figure was particularly familiar to him. Complex emotions overwhelmed his heart upon seeing this individual.

It was Lu Qing'er!
