Chapter 448: The Might of a God, The Great Flame Dynasty

In the Bell Ringing Province, Xu Yan stood proudly atop a mountain peak.

A figure descended from the sky and landed on the peak, bowing respectfully. This person wore the Seven-Leaf Sky Sinister mask.

"Where is the headquarters of the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow in the Bell Ringing Province?" Xu Yan asked coldly.

"There are three branches in the Bell Ringing Province. I only know the location of one of them. The other two are impossible to find," the Seven-Leaf Sky Sinister replied.

The man handed over a map. Xu Yan took it and scanned it, falling into deep thought.

With the pieces he now controlled, he had infiltrated the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow, but he had yet to discover the location of their headquarters.

He didn't even know the true mission of the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow.

Each Sky Sinister was assigned specific tasks, and information beyond their scope was inaccessible.

Any attempt to probe into matters outside their assigned tasks would arouse the suspicion of the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow. One of his pieces had already been executed for this very reason.

As the confrontation with the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow intensified, they had become aware of the traitor in their midst and strengthened their mechanisms to prevent further leaks.

"Sky Seventeen," Xu Yan murmured.

Thus far, Sky Seventeen was the strongest known member of the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow and was likely responsible for assigning their tasks.

According to the information obtained from Chi Cat, Sky Seventeen's strength surpassed the Immortal Realm, indicating that the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow harbored incredibly powerful individuals.

"For the sake of stirring chaos in the Divine Domain and achieving the unity of heaven and earth," Xu Yan mused.

The schemes of the Sky Sinister and Earth Shadow were all aimed at uniting heaven and earth, and there must be an extremely powerful figure backing them.

"Continue to lie in wait and await further instructions," Xu Yan ordered.

The Seven-Leaf Sky Sinister disappeared in an instant.

"It's time to pay a visit to the Great Realms, such as the Tai Miao Realm, the Tai Kun Realm, or perhaps the Tai He Realm!" Xu Yan declared.

Only in these Great Realms could he uncover more secrets of the Divine Domain.

Among them, the Tai He Realm was the first and strongest realm in the Divine Domain, and it also held the key to breaking through the upper limits of the Immortal Realm.

"My second senior brother has gone to the Great Flame Realm. I wonder if there will be a great battle with the Myriad Treasure Alliance. Will there be any experts above the Immortal Realm in the Myriad Treasure Alliance?" Xu Yan pondered.

He contemplated the possibility of experts above the Immortal Realm appearing in the Divine Domain, given the current turmoil and someone plotting to unite heaven and earth.

"Should I go to the Green Sea Realm or the Tai Miao Realm first? Forget it, I'll go to the Green Sea Realm first. I wonder how Brother Xie is doing," Xu Yan finally decided.

With a single step, he stepped into the void of heaven and earth. In the next moment, he emerged tens of thousands of miles away.

...

In a desolate wilderness, Meng Chong sat cross-legged, quietly waiting.

"The Myriad Treasure Alliance is really something. They sent over a dozen Immortal Revereds to chase after me. Well, today I'll be waiting for you all to arrive," Meng Chong said to himself.

This time, he intended to unleash his full power.

After being hunted for so long, he was seething with anger. Now that his strength had broken through, it was time to display the might of his physical martial arts and let the Myriad Treasure Alliance know just how powerful he, the God Meng Chong, truly was.

Since the Myriad Treasure Alliance refused to back down or admit their mistake, insisting on bullying with their numbers, he would show them even greater strength and force them to admit their wrongdoing.

This desolate wilderness would become their graveyard!

He would show these Immortal Revereds the true meaning of violence in physical martial arts!

Swish!

Over a dozen figures appeared from all directions, instantly surrounding Meng Chong.

"Meng Chong, today is your doom!" the leader said coldly.

Finally, they had cornered Meng Chong in this wilderness, completely sealing off his escape routes. This time, Meng Chong had nowhere to run.

Although they found it strange that Meng Chong wasn't trying to flee and seemed to be waiting for them instead, they didn't think too much about it. Even if Meng Chong had broken through to the Immortal Realm, he wouldn't be a match for their group of over a dozen experts.

"Doom?" Meng Chong smiled coldly and stood up, his eyes sweeping over the group of Immortal Revereds. "Today is your doom. Since the Myriad Treasure Alliance insists on bullying and refusing to admit your mistake, I'll beat you until you admit it!"

"Arrogant!" the leader of the Myriad Treasure Alliance scoffed.

Boom!

Their auras erupted, and the combined might of over a dozen Immortal Revereds shook the heavens and earth. They dominated the surrounding space, as if sealing off this entire area.

The very air seemed to solidify, giving anyone facing this powerful display of control a sense of being trapped in quicksand.

"Arrogant? You haven't seen true arrogance yet. Today, I'll show you the might of a god!" Meng Chong retorted with a cold smile.

Boom!

Golden light blossomed, and an infinite wave of divine energy surged forth. Behind Meng Chong, a giant sun appeared, and stars began to swirl around him. In an instant, he transformed into a giant, resembling a small mountain.

This thought simultaneously popped into the minds of everyone present.

At this moment, they finally understood why Meng Chong was hailed as the "Godly Meng Chong".

The scene before them was akin to the descent of a heavenly deity!

"Take this punch!"

Meng Chong snarled coldly, and his massive fist, resembling a blazing sun, slammed forth, crashing towards the leading strong individual from the Myriad Treasure Alliance.

Boom!

As Meng Chong threw his punch, the heavens and earth that were under his control were instantly shattered, causing the world to tremble and the laws of nature to emerge.

A colossal fist appeared in the void, instantly materializing before the Immortal Revered.

"Not good!"

At this moment, as Meng Chong made his move, the expressions of the Myriad Treasure Alliance experts changed drastically.

They finally understood why Meng Chong hadn't fled.

He had been waiting for their arrival.

"Attack together!"

The Immortal Revered frantically countered, but the sheer power of Meng Chong's punch made him feel an intense crisis, causing him to retreat rapidly.

"Can you escape?"

Meng Chong sneered, and one of his meridian points shone with starlight. In an instant, the group of Immortal Revereds felt as if they were sinking in quicksand, their speed and strength becoming sluggish.

The strong individuals from the Myriad Treasure Alliance were horrified, their hearts sinking.

At this moment, facing imminent life or death, they roared and unleashed the powerful secret techniques they had cultivated.

Those who could cultivate to the level of Immortal Revered were no ordinary beings, and when it came to crucial moments, they would definitely not hold back.

"Mere child's play."

Meng Chong sneered coldly.

Boom!

His already towering figure grew even taller, resembling a heavenly deity. His aura was awe-inspiring, with a blazing sun hanging behind him and stars swirling around his body. He held thunder and lightning in his palms, and with each movement, the world seemed to shatter.

Boom!

Even with an Immortal Revered going all out, they were unable to withstand the attack, and they were directly punched into an explosion of bloody flowers in the air before turning into flying ash.

The myriad of violent attacks poured onto Meng Chong's massive body, but they couldn't shake him in the slightest, nor could they break through his defense.

Meng Chong's body didn't even budge.

Witnessing this, the strong individuals from the Myriad Treasure Alliance felt despair in their hearts.

What kind of formidable enemy were they facing? Just what kind of terrifying cultivation method was this?

Some even regretted pursuing Meng Chong, relentlessly hounding him, and trying to uphold the so-called dignity and face of the Myriad Treasure Alliance through their relentless attacks.

In the desolate wilderness, a battle that shook the heavens and the earth unfolded.

A giant resembling a deity casually waved his fists, causing the group of Immortal Revereds to bleed and blasting one Immortal Revered after another.

Some wanted to escape, but they were restricted by a strange force, causing them to feel as if they were trapped in mud, their movements sluggish and unable to flee.

"Die!"

Meng Chong embraced one of the Immortal Revereds, holding him in his arms. With a forceful squeeze, he instantly turned his opponent into flying ash!

Such a violent display shocked the remaining Immortal Revereds.

Someone begged for mercy!

"Coward, softie, die!"

Meng Chong slammed his fist down, instantly obliterating the pleading individual.

"Ah!"

One of the Immortal Revereds let out a terrified roar, and his physical body immediately crumbled, his soul escaping and fleeing in an instant.

He had actually abandoned his physical body to escape!

As soon as his soul escaped, he was delighted to find that the power that had trapped him like quicksand had disappeared. This implied that the strange, quagmire-like power only affected physical bodies!

"Can you escape?"

Meng Chong sneered, and his eyes shone like blazing suns as he stared at the fleeing soul.

Whoosh!

To the horror of the remaining Immortal Revereds, the fleeing soul vanished into nothingness!

A technique to kill souls?!

Moreover, this technique was so powerful that it directly annihilated the soul, turning it into nothingness!

At this moment, the rest of them knew that there was no chance of escape.

"Meng Chong, we'll fight to the death with you!"

Everyone roared, unleashing all their life's cultivation and using self-destructive techniques, erupting with the strongest attacks they could muster.

Boom!

Under these frenzied attacks, Meng Chong's body trembled, and he took half a step back!

But that was it!

Boom!

As Meng Chong's fist, resembling a blazing sun, slammed down, the remaining Immortal Revereds were all turned into flying ash!

"That's refreshing!"

Meng Chong was thrilled. This was the true ferocity of physical martial arts!

"Let's see if your Myriad Treasure Alliance will continue to pursue me. If they send one, I'll kill one!"

Meng Chong coldly smiled.

The Great Flame Realm was one of the Divine Domains, and unlike others, it was ruled by the Great Flame Dynasty!

It was also the first dynasty in the Divine Domain.

The Great Flame Dynasty, the Zhou royal family, was also the superior dynasty of the Ling Domain's Great Zhou Kingdom.

Within the Great Flame Realm lies a Heaven's Cave, one of the top ten Heaven's Caves in the Divine Domain, which is under the control of the Great Flame Dynasty.

"I wonder how that little rascal, Zi Yun, is doing." Meng Chong muttered to himself.

With this trip to the Great Flame Dynasty, he would pay a visit to an old friend.

"After meeting my friend, I'll continue on to the Tai Kun Realm."

After Jiang Buling's breakthrough, he would surely head to the Tai Kun Realm to seek justice and settle a grudge. As his senior brother, Meng Chong naturally wanted to be there to support him!

Great Flame Dynasty, Dongyang County, Dongyang Martial Arts Institute.

The Great Flame Realm was the territory ruled by the Great Flame Dynasty, and within the dynasty, all factions were subject to its jurisdiction and almost always had a background connected to the royal officials, or they wouldn't be able to stand their ground.

The Dongyang Martial Arts Institute was a dynasty institute that trained martial arts geniuses for the dynasty.

The Great Flame Dynasty had established martial arts institutes throughout its territory, and all geniuses were allowed to enroll. Local officials who recommended a peerless genius for admission would receive rewards and recognition for their contribution.

It was because of the Great Flame Dynasty's systematic emphasis on identifying and cultivating geniuses that nearly all the geniuses within its borders, if not all, were recruited into the dynasty and served the royal family.

Moreover, if a genius faced any grievances or persecution, as long as their talent was extraordinary enough, the Martial Arts Institute would intervene and help them seek justice.

There had been cases where a peerless genius, born into humble circumstances and persecuted by local officials, managed to escape and participate in the institute's assessment. Their exceptional talent was discovered, and under the institute's protection, they rose to prominence and eventually took their revenge.

There was also a story of a peerless genius whose enemies, fearing that he would gain the institute's protection, assassinated him on his way there. However, once this came to light, the dynasty took drastic action, eradicating the perpetrators for the crime of assaulting a genius of the dynasty.

It was incidents like these that led to the current situation, where geniuses in the Great Flame Dynasty were eagerly recommended to the Martial Arts Institute, bringing rewards and recognition to the recommenders.

There had also been geniuses who, emboldened by their superior talent, acted arrogantly and unrestrainedly. Ultimately, they met their end at the hands of the dynasty, their public execution serving as a warning to others.

This was the dynasty's way of conveying that while they tolerated exceptional talent, there were boundaries that should not be crossed. Any sign of rampant behavior or disregard for morality would be treated as treasonous intent and met with severe punishment.

Dongyang County was one of the major counties in the dynasty.

The Dongyang Martial Arts Institute was also well-known, and it had a unique characteristic: since it was designated to accept and cultivate geniuses from the Ling Domain, the institute's deans had always been from the Ling Domain.

More than half of the teachers at the Dongyang Martial Arts Institute were from the Ling Domain, and even a portion of the students hailed from there.

Among the geniuses from the Ling Domain, one figure stood out, and she was the biggest supporter of the Dongyang Martial Arts Institute, and all the cultivators from the Ling Domain.

She was the Great Flame Dynasty's high official, the Lady of Dongyang, Xiang Zhen!

"Finally, I've broken through!"

In a secluded room within the Dongyang Martial Arts Institute, a beautiful woman in purple attire opened her eyes.

"I've reached the Refining Truth Realm!" Zi Yun exhaled, relieved.

Since arriving at the Dongyang Martial Arts Institute, she had diligently cultivated day and night, and today, she had finally broken through to the Refining Truth Realm.

She stepped out of the secluded room.

"I wonder what level Meng Chong's cultivation has reached now."

After such a long time without seeing him, she missed him dearly.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Zi Yun, on your breakthrough," a senior female student from the Dongyang Martial Arts Institute said with a smile.

"It was just luck," Zi Yun replied humbly.

"By the way, Junior Sister Zi Yun, something big happened in the Divine Domain while you were in seclusion."

"Oh? What happened?" Zi Yun didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Divine Domain.

"You know the Myriad Treasure Alliance, right?"

"Yes, the number one merchant alliance in the Divine Domain, with incredible strength." Zi Yun nodded.

"Well, the Myriad Treasure Alliance has been chasing after someone, but they've never been able to catch them. Instead, that person has raided several of their branches..." The senior student recounted the story with excitement.

"Yeah, I heard about that too. That person is just too fierce."

Gradually, nearby students from the Dongyang Martial Arts Institute gathered around, including some who had come from the Ling Domain, only earlier than Zi Yun's group.

Among them was the senior student, who used to be a county princess in the Great Zhou Kingdom of the Ling Domain.
