Chapter 525: Chapter 516: God of Nature

"Qin Wu... Wan Xian’Er..."

He murmured their names. For some reason, a sharp pain inexplicably pierced Mu Chen’s heart. The giant golden Array seemed to react to his emotional turmoil, flickering erratically as if on the verge of collapse.

"Guard your Spirit Sea and immerse your mind. Forget everything you’ve just seen for now. We can sort it all out after the Contract is successful."

Just then, an ancient voice suddenly echoed in Mu Chen’s consciousness. It allowed him to temporarily suppress his volatile emotions and swiftly enter an ethereal state. The golden Array, which had been moments from collapsing, suddenly stabilized and solidified.

"Phew... To get distracted at a time like this... what a guy!" Inside Holy Beast Mountain, Zhu Jiuqian was prostrate on the ground. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and rolled his eyes.

Beside him, Feng Chaoming had a conflicted expression. He wasn’t particularly interested in this, but the immense pressure pinned him down, making it impossible to even stand up. "This is exhausting. How much longer is this Contract going to take?"

"Who knows? But the longer it lasts, the more that kid stands to gain! Still, your constitution is way too pathetic," Zhu Jiuqian said irritably.

"Bullshit! It’s easy for you to talk since you’re not the one in pain! I’m a patient, you know?!" Feng Chaoming cursed back, which only made Zhu Jiuqian chuckle sinisterly.

...

’Mu Chen...? Heh... You really aren’t an ordinary guy. It looks like I’ll need to find some time to return to my family. Otherwise, even I will be surpassed by him in a very short time.’

「On Holy Tomb Mountain, on the Fourth Level of the Inner Mountain.」 Shan Tianyu stood on a roof with his hands behind his back, gazing at the phantom image in the sky. His face was etched with an unprecedented gravity. Only now did he truly consider Mu Chen a hidden danger.

On the first level of the Inner Mountain, Chu Aoqing rested one hand on her windowsill, propping up her chin as she looked up at the sky. She murmured softly, "Creating miracles... it seems to be true."

After speaking, Chu Aoqing suddenly closed the window, drew the curtains, and pulled a red, form-fitting dress from her ring. She held it up against her body, then pouted and muttered, "A dress... does it really make a difference when you wear one?"

At the same time, once Mu Chen’s mind had stabilized, the other golden Array that had been spinning beside him suddenly erupted with a dazzling, crimson-black light. The light radiated outward, and in the blink of an eye, it stained the entire sky.

The scene was truly astonishing. The sky, originally a boundless azure, now displayed a terrifying celestial phenomenon after the appearance of the crimson-black light.

In an instant, the clouds and mist in the sky transformed into scorching white flames. These flames incinerated everything—not even the sky was spared! A circular void appeared where the sky had been burned away, and the scene within this void was even more breathtaking. It wasn’t the black, distorted space that appears when a spatial rift opens, but rather a dark night sky glittering with countless stars.

Immediately after, a jet-black aura shot out from the void in a cone, smashing down toward the golden Array next to Mu Chen. A dragon’s roar soared into the heavens as a shockwave swept out, blowing away the surrounding scorching white flames. A massive, dark silhouette flickered in and out of view.

However, as if their dignity had been violated, the scorching white flames that had been scattered by the black aura suddenly converged with a clear phoenix cry. They fused and transformed into a white, cone-shaped aura that blasted toward the golden Array where the black silhouette was. Although the two seemed to be in opposition, they didn’t clash violently or struggle after landing in the golden Array. Instead, the white aura transformed into the silhouette of a white bird.

The moment this silhouette appeared, the surrounding Fire Attribute Primordial Qi spontaneously formed countless crimson flames that gathered at its tail. In an instant, the bird-shaped figure of White Flame gained nine brilliant crimson-and-white tail feathers, adding a strange sense of vitality. The long, elegant plumes were gorgeous and dazzling. Supported by the surrounding Fire Yuan Qi, the magnificent Fire Phoenix spread its massive wings. A piercing cry screeched from its beak, and the pressure of an ancient Beast God descended, making everyone present feel the suppression of a King!

Not only that, but inside Holy Beast Mountain, even the proud Lightning Armor Dragon clan was forced to prostrate themselves on the ground, completely drained of strength, their eyes filled with nothing but terror.

SCREECH!!

With another sharp cry, the Fire Phoenix shot into the sky. It circled a few times before stopping abruptly, then began to dance gracefully around the golden pillar of Ancient Will, following an incredibly profound trajectory.

Zhu Jiuqian looked up, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and shouted in astonishment, "It’s actually Jiu Feng! Damn it, that brat Mu Chen’s luck is insane! To think he could find a Magical Beast with the bloodline of the Sky Beast God Jiu Feng! And he even formed an Illusion Spirit Contract with it!"

Of course, only Feng Chaoming heard his words, and Feng Chaoming, having little interest in Magical Beasts, paid them no mind. But the ascent of the Fire Phoenix did not signify the completion of the Contract.

On the contrary, as the Fire Phoenix soared into the sky, the black aura that had been standing in the golden Array released a pressure no less intense than the Phoenix’s phantom. However, compared to the Fire Phoenix’s pressure, this one was more illusory and ethereal.

The void burned out by the Fire Flames had not vanished, and the stars within it still twinkled. But as the black aura twisted, those stars suddenly emitted a brilliant light and converged upon it. In the blink of an eye, they enveloped the aura, making it look like a piece of the void itself.

Having absorbed the Void Power, the black aura began its Transformation. In just a few breaths, a sensation of violent power erupted from within it, and it transformed into a massive Magical Beast. The creature’s body had a metallic texture, like steel shimmering with starlight! Two enormous dragon wings unfurled with a BANG, stretching a thousand meters long. Even more astonishingly, its two curved Dragon Horns crackled with thunder and lightning. With its sharp claws extended and its stance wide, it was revealed to be a magnificent, two-winged Black Dragon!

ROAR!!

As if not to be outdone, the phantom of the Giant Dragon, which was clearly half again as large as the Fire Phoenix’s phantom, let out a roar toward the heavens. It sprang from its feet, sending ripples of black airflow spreading outward. With its wings also spread wide, it leaped up and dove into the Fire Phoenix’s flight path, chasing it in a circular flight.

The intertwined cries of the phoenix and the dragon from their circling flight sounded like a melodious hymn from the Divine Court, or perhaps a call from ancient times. In any case, all who heard the blended sounds were lost in them, unable to pull themselves away.

The Black Dragon was significantly faster, turning the chase into a parallel flight. The moment their figures drew close, the white Fire Flame and the black void-like aura began to tear at each other! No! It was less like tearing and more like devouring! In this consumption, there was no passive party. The Fire Phoenix would bite off a piece of the Black Dragon’s void aura, and the Black Dragon would swallow a ball of White Flame!

The two went back and forth until they finally transformed into two three-colored spheres: one white with black, the other black with red. The moment these spheres formed, they collided. There was no terrifying explosion, no horrifying shockwave, and no new celestial phenomenon. They simply merged and slowly descended, returning to their original golden Arrays.

And so, phantoms appeared simultaneously within the two golden Arrays—one humanoid, the other an unknown Magical Beast! As they materialized, the golden pillar of light in the sky shuddered violently. The top of the pillar, connected to the heavens, suddenly expanded, growing to a million meters in an instant. The golden light completely enveloped Holy Tomb Mountain and the surrounding area for ten thousand miles!

At the same time, accompanied by a Holy War anthem that sounded like Saints in worship, a colossal figure slowly descended from the pillar of light. The first thing to enter everyone’s sight was a pair of long, fair legs so perfect they inspired endless yearning. The legs were as smooth as pearls and seemed to shimmer with a crystal-clear light. The hem of a green skirt fluttered in the wind, and an immense Life Aura and Natural Aura radiated outward in all directions.

In a flash, the sky that had been incinerated by the Fire Flames was instantly repaired. The spatial scars left by the clash between Dilaka and the three Saints were erased in a blink, leaving not a single trace of the destruction behind.

Not only that, but as this giant figure descended, a rain of flower petals drifted down from the sky. The very aura of the world seemed to undergo an unprecedented change...

Near and far, over mountains and oceans, forests and wastelands, a gentle green breeze swept by, bringing vitality to all things and a new hope. The entire Extreme Martial Continent was renewed! Even the thin Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the air became several times richer!

And the source of it all was the green figure descending from the heavens! That perfect figure! A figure of such ultimate beauty, it was as if a Nine Heavens Fairy had descended to the mortal realm!

Her emerald gauze robes were as vibrant as flowers. She was a lovely maiden with willow-leaf brows and phoenix eyes. Her figure was slender and graceful, with an alluring, curvaceous bosom and hips. Her hair flowed like a waterfall, cinched at her slender waist above her gently parted, jade-like legs. Her features were delicate and exquisite, her face like a peach blossom, and her cheeks as smooth as pearls. Her skin was fair and fine as snow, her flesh like ice and bones like jade, and her voice was soft and sweet. A single glance from her beautiful eyes could make a thousand flowers bloom in a riot of color. The slightest parting of her ruby lips would inspire orioles to sing their most beautiful, gem-like songs. A gentle sway of her lithe waist could make green willows dance in the spring breeze. For heaven and earth to create such a woman was a feat of both the celestial and mortal realms, a beauty that could move even Ghost Gods!

In that moment, a single thought echoed in the hearts of countless people: a goddess like this belongs only in the heavens, for her like has never been witnessed in the mortal world!

A god! Had descended!!

The golden pillar of light slowly shrank and then dissipated. The million-meter-tall figure gazed down upon the entire Extreme Martial Continent, upon all living beings, and upon the two phantoms that had appeared in the golden Arrays, her eyes unlike any the world had ever seen.

Without a trace of expression, without a hint of emotion, and without her lips ever parting, her soft, gentle voice, like an echo resounding through a valley, entered the entire world and permeated the heart of every living soul.
