NOVEL NEXT Chapter 161: Burn the Nine Heavens, Armageddon, Great Sun's Divine Flame!
```
"Brother Wu, aren't we going over to join the excitement?"
There was a strong longing in Zhu Sānpào's eyes, but he seemed to remember the Gray Souls and showed a mix of fear and excitement, appearing very conflicted.
"Join the excitement? More like join the damnation!"
"Do you think you'll have a life left after joining?"
"Hurry up and find a place to hide. Wait for Ye Huang to get to the inner layer. With the strength of our Diamond Battle Pig Clan, if we get targeted by those Gray Souls, there's no escaping."
Fear flashed in Zhu Gangwu's eyes. Saying they were lucky was an understatement; their experience wasn't about luck at all—it was practically being the Son of Destiny.
Along the way, if they weren't blocked by Foreign Spirits who were then chased by Gray Souls, they narrowly missed encounters with the Gray Souls themselves. Although they looked disheveled now, they were far better off than other Foreign Spirits.
"Once my elder brother reaches the inner layer, he will certainly slaughter in all directions. By then, we can just follow behind and pick up the spoils to fill our pots to the brim!"
A smug look flashed across Zhu Sānpào's face.
...
Elsewhere, a giant crow bathed in golden light and with a Great Golden Sun Crow appearing behind it flew out from a pillar of light that reached the heavens and instantly devoured the pillar completely!
"Caw~caw!"
In an instant, terrifying sound waves swept across the area, shattering both Gray Souls and ordinary souls into dust.
At that moment, the Starry Sky Bird had successfully evolved, and the Great Sun's Divine Flame had descended!
[Demonic Beast: The Great Golden Sun Crow]
[Attributes: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Space-Time]
[Potential Qualities: top Mythical level]
[Cultivation Level: level three Martial God Realm]
[Skills: Skyward Ten Suns, Star Fight, Chaotic Mysteries, Suppression Space-Time, Great Sun's Divine Flame, Origin Power, End of Horizon, Attack Rebound, Elemental Shaping, Form Change, Outside Body Incarnation]
[Innate Talent Skill: Undying Body, Immune Damage]
[Accompanying Treasures: Chaos Bell (Shadow)]
Looking at the properties of The Great Golden Sun Crow, Ye Feng's heart pounded wildly. The skills and innate talent skills had evolved in all aspects.
And to top it off, there was even an Accompanying Treasure, the Chaos Bell (Shadow).
The Chaos Bell was none other than the Eastern Emperor Bell. But in the primordial legends, it was the treasure of the Demon Clan's leader, East Emperor Taiyi. In time, this name became the common reference.
However, even though it was only a shadow of the Chaos Bell, Ye Feng was quite satisfied. After all, the complete Chaos Bell was a formidable weapon that could quake the ancient world and suppress fates both in attack and defense.
"What an incredible force!"
"Is this what top Mythical level is like!"
Ao Xue from Tian Long was astonished, looking at The Great Golden Sun Crow descending from the sky, feeling a tremendous threat from its presence.
Even though it was only on level three of the Martial God Realm, just three minor realms higher than her—and despite her own ability to kill enemies beyond her realm—why did The Great Golden Sun Crow pose a fatal threat to her?
It wasn't just her feeling this way; the Chaos Demon Ape King, the Ancient Star Tree, and the Ancient Dragon Kun all shared this sentiment.
They realized that even if the four of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat The Great Golden Sun Crow and some of them might fall in the attempt.
In fact, what they did not know was that The Great Golden Sun Crow's unparalleled strength after evolving was due to its practice of the Imperial Beast chapter of the Chaos Beast Mastery Practice Method.
With the addition of the Chaos Bell Phantom, its power reached an unprecedented and unfathomable level.
...
"Roar~ An irresistibly delicious aura, I can smell it—kill!"
"It's mine, whoever tries to take it will die by my hands!"
"Kill~kill~kill!! Mine, all mine!"
```
Meanwhile, an endless horde of gray creatures, like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, crazily charged in Ye Feng's direction.
It seemed The Great Golden Sun Crow's terrifying sound wave had not intimidated them but, on the contrary, had ignited their boundless greed.
...
"Splish splash~"
On the other side, a gray soul of the Human Race, staring at the massive dark pool in front of him as his subordinates continually rose up, was utterly dumbfounded.
What the hell happened, how did so many subordinates die all at once?
Although the death of his subordinates didn't concern him, resurrecting one required a considerable amount of energy from his Dark Source Pool.
Over countless years, he had devoured and refined energy from the Dark Source Pool transformed by the inner layer of the Beast God Mountain, yet in just this brief moment, he had consumed one percent of it.
This pain was worse than if all his subordinates had died!
For he knew, as long as the Dark Source Pool existed, he could be fearless, for it was his escape route.
"Could it be that I haven't ventured out for so long that something unknown has happened within the inner layer of the Beast God Mountain?"
The more Huang Ji thought about it, the more he panicked, wondering if Beast God had meddled in some mischief.
"Guard the Dark Source Pool, I'll be right back!"
"Yes, master!"
Four gray souls with incredibly powerful auras responded. Ordinary gray souls possessed very little wisdom.
But these four in front of him clearly had wisdom akin to living beings.
The key was, Beast God was unaware of this because around the Dark Source Pool, a world had formed of its own accord, no longer under Beast God's control.
For this reason, Huang Ji did not notice anything unusual when The Great Golden Sun Crow was breaking through.
...
"How is this possible? Is reaching the top mythical level that easy?"
"And this kid's Imperial Beast, so formidable, it's unheard of, unprecedented!"
Beast God's eyes brimmed with immense jealousy. He knew his potential was equivalent to top mythical level at best and only slightly stronger than that but nowhere near the next level.
This was precisely why, despite having lived for countless epochs, he hadn't managed to break through Supreme and ascend to eternal, with his potential evolving just a little.
Yet, that little bit had been enough to send him into ecstatic madness.
But then, seeing Ye Feng easily evolve his Imperial Beast from top legendary level to top mythical level, Beast God's defenses completely shattered.
After separating from Ye Feng, Beast God had still been observing him in secret, wanting to see what Ye Feng's Imperial Beast would evolve into.
However, on witnessing the evolved Great Golden Sun Crow, Beast God felt an unusual sense of threat.
...
"Now that the breakthrough is done, we should go find that gray creature, lest Beast God accuses me of only taking the money without doing the work," Ye Feng said, looking towards The Great Golden Sun Crow.
"Don't worry, you don't have to go anywhere. Leave everything to me!" The Great Golden Sun Crow patted its chest and with a flap of its wings, it soared straight into the heavens.
At the same time, the temperature between heaven and earth skyrocketed as if the whole world had turned into a furnace in that moment.
All one could see was the sky above turning into a reddish-gold color as countless blood-red clouds ignited, with the conflagration spreading crazily in all directions.
"Great Sun's Divine Flame!!"
The Great Golden Sun Crow cried out towards the sky, and a golden flame spewed forth from its beak, merging with the burning blood-red clouds above, tearing the entire sky asunder as if it simply could not withstand the intensity of the Great Sun's Divine Flame.
Immediately after, golden fiery meteors from all directions fell from the sky, heading straight for the crazed gray creatures.
