Chapter 295: Chapter 149: Hundred-Meter Divine Monarch, Heaven-Supporting Giant God

’These people should be enough to compensate for Wu Yu’s losses.’

"But..."

But just as Meng You was about to speak, prepared to haggle with Wu Yu before agreeing to his terms, a derisive snort suddenly rang out, shattering the stalemate.

The one who had scoffed was, of course, Zhong Ming. He maneuvered his Divine Monarch Dharma Aspect forward, his face twisting into a mask of savage arrogance. His gaze toward Wu Yu and Meng You was filled with contempt and disdain. "Going on and on with this nonsense... you two mongrels. Aren’t you taking us a little too lightly?"

"Huh?!"

Completely blindsided, both Wu Yu and Meng You froze. They were stunned by Zhong Ming’s brazen curse—calling them "mongrels"—and his look of utter contempt.

It took a long moment for Wu Yu to finally react.

"Are you talking to me?"

Meeting his incredulous, icy stare, Zhong Ming nodded without the slightest concern.

"Isn’t it obvious? A couple of buffoons, weak as rats, jumping out to decide our fates. Heh. I admit, you’ve given me a good laugh."

At that, Zhong Ming’s laughter abruptly ceased. His expression turned sharp and severe, but his tone remained as wild and arrogant as ever. "Get this through your heads, mongrels. Right now, *I* am the stronger one! Your lives and deaths depend on my whim."

"What you should be doing right now isn’t overestimating yourselves and making me laugh. You should be using those pathetic little brains of yours to figure out how to cry and beg me to leave you an intact corpse!"

As these words left Zhong Ming’s mouth, he radiated an aura of "Heaven and Earth, Only I am Supreme."

Faced with this side of Zhong Ming, Wu Yu opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, said nothing. Instead, he turned his gaze to Meng You.

Shrugging at her, Divine Heir Wu Yu chuckled. "You see? It’s not that I don’t want to give you face. It’s that someone here doesn’t know his place."

...

This time, Meng You was left speechless.

"Do as you will."

With that, she moved to the side of Ji Qinghui and Ji Qingkang and apologized to them both.

"I apologize, Commandery Princes. It was Youtan Heaven’s fault that you were trapped in the Star Secret Vault. But please, rest assured. No matter what happens, I will not let Wu Yu harm you, and I will get you out of here."

Hearing this, both Ji Qinghui and Ji Qingkang raised their eyebrows. "Fairy Meng You, you don’t seem confident that Zhong Ming can win?"

The two Commandery Princes... naturally supported Zhong Ming.

Setting aside the terror and harm inflicted upon them by the Five Viscera Divine Sect, one fact alone made them support Zhong Ming one hundred percent.

If, in the end, only they managed to escape the Star Secret Vault—even with the True Inheritance disciples and Daoists of the six Major Sects—Prince Qinghe’s reputation would be utterly ruined.

In fact, with such a catastrophe occurring in their own territory, resulting in so many deaths, they might even be held accountable by the Frost Moon royal family—or worse, be stripped of their princely titles.

Therefore, even though Zhong Ming supported Ji Qingyue, the two of them absolutely could not afford for him to fail.

But what made both of them clench their fists was Meng You’s reply. Her tone was gentle, yet utterly certain. "Zhong Ming has absolutely no chance of winning."

"The gap between a Divine Heir and a Divine Heir candidate isn’t just double or triple the power. Take the Five Viscera Divine Sect, for instance. To become a candidate, you only need to obtain the divine grace of one of the five viscera: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, or kidneys. But to become a full Divine Heir, you must have all five."

"With the Five Viscera in Place, the resulting power boost is far more than five times that of a candidate. The five viscera are linked to the Five Elements, and with all Five Elements complete, they can cycle and reinforce each other. This makes a Divine Heir at least twenty-five times stronger than an ordinary disciple."

"And that’s just the bonus to his basic abilities. If you factor in his other powers... Wu Yu’s true body is at a level equivalent to the Wind Fiend Unity realm in your world. Even though only a fraction of his Divine Intent is here, and this vessel can’t contain his full strength, Zhong Ming is still no match for him."

VMMMM!

As Meng You spoke, the Five Elements Wheel behind Wu Yu began to spin rapidly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The spinning of the wheel caused the five-colored splendor behind him to shift rapidly. To the horror of Qin Zhou and the others, Wu Yu’s aura surged with each rotation of the Five Elements Wheel.

After dozens of Five Elements Reincarnations, his aura had already surpassed the combined strength of Hundred Heads King Buddha Cheng Lv, Liu Yu, Yuan Rong, and the others.

BOOM!

His Magical Power even began to affect the very climate of the Star Secret Vault.

When the Five Elements Wheel stopped spinning and locked onto a crimson hue, with a thunderous ROAR, the entire Star Secret Vault burst into flames.

Endless flames blotted out the sky and scorched the earth until it cracked. The very air grew searing hot.

What’s more, the flames were toxic.

The toxic flames turned every breath into an ordeal. With each inhalation, the Cultivators’ bodies were wracked with a searing pain, creating the illusion that they were being roasted dry from the inside out.

Just by spinning the Five Elements Wheel, Divine Heir Wu Yu had transformed the area into a scorched, fiery hellscape.

Standing in the heart of the inferno, Wu Yu looked like a scion of hell itself.

HISS...

This scene caused many within the Star Secret Vault to gasp in shock.

The gazes of Qin Zhou, Ruan Shi, and the others turned grim, as still as water.

Outside, in the room with Luo Qinzhu, the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest spread his arms wide, his face a mask of religious fervor. "Do you see? This is the power of a Divine Heir!"
