Chapter 1358: Chapter 658: Black Shadow Abyss Beast

"Not good."

The Flame Sun Association leader, who was steering Molten Fire City, felt his heart sink slightly and his spirit tensed somewhat as he resisted the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast.

They were close enough to the passage, meaning that the convergence of two Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts, attacking from front and back, was the final hurdle. If they could break through, they would reach the passage and escape the Abyss Beasts’ assault.

But if they become entangled and fail to break through, trouble would arise. Molten Fire City would fall into the ceaseless tide of Abyss Beasts, and as time passed, even if a third Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast didn’t appear, more Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts would gather. By then, Molten Fire City would be besieged, and barely a few from the Flame Sun Association might escape alive!

Not only the Flame Sun Association leader.

Divine Monarch Mo Yu, Divine Monarch Gen Jun, and others, seeing the situation rapidly deteriorating, all felt their hearts sink as well.

Two Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts were no joke; if handled improperly, it could really lead to a catastrophe!

"With two Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts, the situation is dire. This time, I need everyone to give it their all. I will hold off the twelve-legged giant for now, while you all join forces to block the other Abyss Beast."

The Flame Sun Divine Monarch continued to steer Molten Fire City, resisting the twelve-legged Giant Elephant Abyss Beast, while speaking solemnly to Fan Gu Divine Monarch and the others.

Their combined strength could resist one Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast with relative ease, without having to resort to desperate measures. But with two, they must fight with everything!

"Alright."

"Leave it to us."

Divine Monarch Mo Yu, Divine Monarch Gen Jun, and the others quickly responded, their gazes serious, without any hesitation.

In the face of crisis, everyone wanted to get through safely. As Eighth Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch Dominators, during this critical Period, naturally, no one harbored any thoughts of taking chances or holding back — that would be equivalent to digging their own grave.

Moreover, the Flame Sun Divine Monarch was going to face the twelve-legged giant alone, even if only for a brief moment. It would certainly come at a cost. Thus, they must not hold back against the other one.

As the Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast in the passage drew nearer to Molten Fire City, Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Mo Yu Divine Monarch, and others maintained their calm composure, timing their actions. When the moment came, all their eyes lit up simultaneously.

"Go!"

In almost an instant, Mo Yu, Gen Jun, Fan Gu... the seven leaders of the Flame Sun Association all set off, transforming into seven long rainbows, soaring through the air towards the other side of Molten Fire City.

And on this side of Molten Fire City, with the departure of these seven Eighth Layer Heaven Peak leaders, the Flame Sun Divine Monarch was left alone to resist the Ninth Layer Heaven’s twelve-legged Giant Elephant Abyss Beast. Without Fan Gu, Mo Yu, and the others’ restraint, the pressure intensified rapidly.

"Ignite!"

The Flame Sun Divine Monarch’s eyes were icy, without any hesitation, and suddenly flames blazed around him.

This Blazing Flames was not a move he unleashed, but rather the instantaneous boiling eruption of his Divine Power.

Burning Divine Power!

Facing the convergence of two Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts, attacking from front and back at this critical juncture, the Flame Sun Divine Monarch did not hesitate to stake it all, burning his Divine Power, instantly making the surging of Divine Power more grand and mighty.

An Eighth Layer Heaven Limit Divine Monarch Dominator burning Divine Power was certainly terrifying. Although in terms of ’quality,’ it still couldn’t break through to the Ninth Layer Heaven, in terms of ’quantity,’ it was like a stream suddenly turning into a river!

Even though this mighty river of water could hardly shatter the incoming hundred-refined steel, its torrent and momentum, being so overwhelming, could still impede the collision force of that steel!

The battle atop the fortress was just like this!

The Giant Elephant Abyss Beast kept roaring and howling, standing on twin legs but hovering with its other ten, repeatedly trampling down on Molten Fire City. Each stomp shattered the Nine Layer Heavens, like ten terrifying pillars of the sky, crushing down.

While the Flame Sun Divine Monarch was burning Divine Power, his entire being seemed like it had transformed into a blazing Red Sun, commanding Molten Fire City, unleashing mighty waves of power to clash with those ten pillars of the sky. Despite being shattered with each stomp of the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast’s massive feet, burning Divine Power ensured the Divine Monarch’s Divine Body didn’t tremble from the backlash or impact, his unleashed Divine Power and controlled Power of Dao surged like endless river water.

The Nine Layer Heavens was indeed a huge bottleneck, only surpassed by comprehending Mystical Fusion of the Four Profound Mysteries, otherwise, it couldn’t be surpassed by any means. However, a being like the Flame Sun Divine Monarch was infinitely close to the Nine Layer Heavens, and when he was fighting desperately by burning Divine Power, even a true Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch at best could only suppress him, unable to utterly defeat and annihilate him in a short time.

Let alone the Abyss Beast’s techniques, which were inferior to a real Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, it was evidently impossible to breach the Flame Sun Divine Monarch’s resilient resistance. No matter how furiously the Giant Elephant Abyss Beast roared, it still couldn’t get past the Flame Sun Divine Monarch to topple Molten Fire City.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Fan Gu, Mo Yu, Gen Jun, and the other seven Eighth Layer Heaven Peak Flame Sun Association leaders reached the opposite shore of Molten Fire City. At this time, in the distance where their gazes fell, from the depths of the crimson hot and deep rock cave passage, one could vaguely see a massive black shadow spreading towards Molten Fire City.

This rock cave passage was vast, at least tens of thousands of miles high, yet that swiftly approaching black shadow within the passage still nearly obscured the whole passage, its immense size almost in the thousands of miles!
