43: Chapter 43: As the Nine Nether Hound ascends to godhood, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion turns danger into safety.

"Roar!" "Hiccup—" With a burp that carried a hint of peppercorn flavor and sparks, the violent energy within Wang Teng, like a vast ocean, finally found an outlet for release.

It was the life essence of two Venerable-level vicious beasts, combined with the Saint Emperors Dao Fruit that had remained undigested in his limbs and bones.

At this moment, these three distinct yet equally tyrannical powers collided and fused madly within Wang Teng's stomach, which was comparable to a divine furnace.

Eventually, they transformed into a world-destroying torrent that breached the dam.

"Thump!" The first strange sound originated from Wang Teng's heart.

That beat was as heavy as the beating of a heavenly drum, causing the Butian Pavilion battlefield within a hundred-mile radius to shudder violently.

Countless low-cultivation alien creatures turned pale, feeling as if their hearts had been fiercely gripped, so painful that they wanted to vomit blood.

Immediately after, a sudden change occurred!

"Rumble!!!" Without any warning, from the crown of Wang Teng's head, a beam of light interwoven with black and gold shot out.

Like a sharp sword defying the heavens, it instantly pierced through the invisible ceiling that had been suppressing the creatures of the lower realm!

The ignition of the Divine Fire was happening right now!

But this Divine Fire was completely different from the flimsy flames of ordinary pseudo-gods.

Ordinary Divine Fire ignites one's own essence, energy, and spirit, like a flickering candle flame.

But Wang Teng's Divine Fire was a flame that could burn the heavens!

The sky-piercing beam of light instantly expanded, turning into a sea of fire covering a hundred miles.

But this sea of fire was not merely burning. It was interwoven with countless ancient, complex runes carrying the aura of destruction and divinity.

The black ones were the laws of the Nine-Nether Ao clan, originating from the beginning of the world, representing desolation, slaughter, and termination.

The golden ones were the Imperial Dragon Qi of the human Saint Emperors who ruled the mountains and rivers, representing righteousness, majesty, and rebirth.

The two merged, transforming into a dark golden divine flame that had never appeared in the world before!

"Sizzle—" The void around Wang Teng, under the scorching of this dark golden divine flame, actually melted like a candle, dripping with colorful liquid of Dao laws.

The ground in front of the Butian Pavilion mountain gate instantly turned into a rolling lake of lava.

All rocks and vegetation vaporized in an instant, leaving not even ashes behind.

Wang Teng, at the center of the storm, began a stunning transformation.

The black-gold scales that originally covered his entire body were undergoing a kind of sacred restructuring under the calcination of the Divine Fire.

Every scale became crystal clear, as if a small world was sealed inside, with heart-palpitating dark golden light flowing through them.

The nine tails behind him underwent an earth-shattering change.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." Nine dragon roars shook the nine heavens simultaneously.

The nine tails danced wildly in the divine fire.

The dragon heads, which were originally somewhat ferocious, now became incomparably majestic, with towering dragon horns and eyes like lightning.

In the mouth of each dragon head was a phantom of a "Godhead" condensed from laws!

Nine tails holding gods, the ferocity was peerless!

A terrifying pressure, one that truly stood above all living beings and even made the laws of this world emit wails, spread out from Wang Teng as the origin, crushing everything in a circular motion.

"Crack! Crack!" That was the sound of the knees of the tens of thousands of alien troops shattering.

In the face of this divine might, even experts of the Inscription Realm and Array Formation Realm could not control their own bodies at all.

Their souls were trembling, their instincts were roaring, driving them to kneel on the ground like ants, kowtowing and worshipping the newborn god.

"This is... perfect Divine Fire... No! This is a divine foundation that transcends perfection!!"

Above the sky, that expert of the Divine Fire Realm from Nanyun Divine Mountain had a twisted expression.

His originally high-and-mighty divine body was trembling uncontrollably.

He could clearly feel that his own little bit of Divine Fire was like a firefly beside a bright moon compared to Wang Teng's vast, ocean-like dark golden divine flame, pitifully humble.

Even the laws within his body were afraid, wanting to surrender!

Just then, in the center of the sea of fire, the figure wrapped in divine light moved.

Wang Teng slowly raised his head.

At this moment, he still maintained the original form of the Nine-Nether Ao.

But the beastly frenzy had faded, replaced by a cold divinity that viewed the ages with indifference.

The most terrifying thing was his eyes. Those double pupils.

The original pupils had disappeared, replaced by two slowly rotating dark golden nebulae.

The left eye was full of vitality, as if all things were growing; the right eye was deathly still, as if it were the end of the universe.

One eye for life, one eye for death.

The moment those eyes looked toward the sky, all sounds in the world disappeared.

The wind stopped, the clouds stood still.

Only that sound, like a great bell, resounded clearly in every corner amidst the crackling of the Divine Fire: "Today, I enter the Divine Path here."

Wang Teng stretched out a giant claw covered in dark golden divine armor.

Across the ten thousand zhang of void, he gently grasped at the pseudo-god in the sky.

"I shall use you as a sacrifice to the heavens!" These four words were like the judgment of the Heavenly Dao, unquestionable.

Above the sky, that pseudo-god expert from Nanyun Divine Mountain was already terrified out of his wits.

Facing that giant claw that covered the sky and sun, flowing with dark golden divine flames, even his courage to resist was crushed by that Ten Fiends divine might.

"No! I am the representative of the Upper Realm orthodoxy! You cannot kill me!!"

He let out a shrill scream, offering up an ancient bronze divine mirror in his hand, attempting to burn his last bit of divine blood to block this strike.

However, before the Nine-Nether Ao who had just ignited the Divine Fire and was in a state of extreme sublimation, this so-called trump card for survival was as fragile as a joke.

"Crack!" With a crisp explosion, the bronze divine mirror, which was enough to withstand a full-force blow from a peak Venerable, was directly crushed into powder by Wang Teng's sharp claws!

Immediately after, the dark golden giant claw did not slow down.

Like pinching a fly to death, it tightly gripped the pseudo-god's divine body in its palm.

"Ah!!!" The scream stopped abruptly.

"Bang!" As Wang Teng's giant claw slammed shut, the high-and-mighty golden ball of light instantly exploded.

Divine blood filled the sky like a golden rain, pouring down; every drop contained amazing divine essence, scattering across the long sky.

"Slurp—" Wang Teng's huge wolf head sucked in fiercely.

The divine blood scattering all over the sky was forcibly gathered by him with great magic power.

It turned into a golden stream, heading straight into his blood-filled mouth.

"Gulp." His Adam's apple rolled.

The life essence of a Divine Fire Realm expert just like that became "throat-soothing tea" in Wang Teng's mouth.

"Pah, a bit fishy, not as fragrant as roasted meat."

Wang Teng smacked his lips. Although he looked disgusted, the Divine Fire on his body burned even more vigorously because of it.

That dark golden radiance almost dyed the entire sky of the Wasteland his color.

With the fall of this greatest threat, the situation of the entire battlefield was completely reversed in this instant!

"God... a god has fallen!!"

"Even the senior who ignited the Divine Fire was eaten by him in one bite!!"

"Run! Run quickly!! This is not a vicious beast, this is a demon lord descended into the world!!"

The alien army, which had originally been black and dense, aggressively besieging Butian Pavilion, collapsed completely at this moment.

With even their strongest reliance becoming someone else's snack, what the hell were they supposed to fight with?

Countless Ancient Remains, ferocious birds, and wild beasts now only hated that their parents hadn't given them two more legs, crying and howling as they fled wildly in all directions.

At this moment, treasures, devouring the human race, all were thrown to the nine heavens—saving their lives was the only truth.

The great calamity of Butian Pavilion was thus resolved...
