Chapter 321: Chapter 296: Kubera’s Astonishment and Anger, The Awakening of the Heavenly Emperor! (Seeking Monthly Votes!)
Whoosh!
Saromeya leapt down.
Her four eyes wide open, she trotted with nimble paw prints, her tail gently swaying as she poked her head among the gathered Devas.
"What is she doing?"
Saromeya sidled up next to Fire God Agni.
"Don’t talk, don’t make a noise, don’t disturb him!" Fire God Agni, without turning his head, spoke with a serious and anxious face, clenching his fists tightly.
Saromeya tilted her head in confusion.
She looked around curiously, everything was calm, and Airavata also stood by, seemingly unbothered.
"It seems there’s nothing going on!"
Thinking this, she raised her head, brought her front paws together, and sat down squatting on the ground.
Whoosh!
Mandara Mountain spread his arms wide like a large cross, slowly floating up into the sky and beginning to spin.
Countless inexplicable waves radiated from him.
The essence of Mandara Mountain penetrated the Three Realms, being at their center, he was thus sensitive to many presences within them.
This was the reason he was confident he could find Indra!
Whoosh!
Mandara Mountain turned quickly, his sense spreading out instantaneously.
"The Heavenly Emperor is not in the Heavenly Realm!"
"Then it’s either Earth or the Mortal Realm!"
Mandara Mountain pondered in his mind.
Searching for someone across the Three Realms was enormously draining, and having one less realm to search was indeed a blessing for him.
At this moment, Mandara Mountain’s power spread instantaneously, pulsating through Earth and the Mortal Realm.
Hum! Hum!
Mandara Mountain spun faster and faster, his perception continually expanding.
The Devas and Mountains all stared intently, firmly watching the figure of Mandara Mountain in mid-air.
"Mandara Mountain is located at the center of the Three Realms!"
"I feel his power constantly spreading; although weak, his perception is unaffected," Sun God Surya stated intensely.
"Exactly!"
Fire God Agni also nodded, adding, "Mandara Mountain indeed lives up to his name!"
"This is his natural advantage!"
Wind God Vayu remarked.
Water God Varuna also silently nodded, fully agreeing.
At this moment, not only the Devas but the Mountains as well displayed hopeful expressions, eagerly anticipating that Mandara Mountain would find Indra.
Underneath Mandara Mountain’s tightly closed eyelids, his eyes shifted rapidly, and his expression turned to panic.
Bang!
Mandara Mountain fell downwards.
He knelt on the ground, a slight breeze swirling around, fluttering his long sash.
"Couldn’t find him?"
Mandara Mountain gasped heavily, heart sinking.
He couldn’t detect at all!
In a state of panic, Mandara Mountain was surrounded by the Devas and Mountains, who all rushed forward, expectantly looking at him.
"How is it?"
"Did you find him?"
Fire God Agni rushed forward, raised his arm, and grabbed Mandara Mountain by the shoulder to ask.
"I... "
"I couldn’t find him!"
Mandara Mountain paused, muttering softly.
Hearing this, Fire God Agni’s eyes widened, flames seeming to burn within them as he stared intently at Mandara Mountain.
This guy just spun so many circles, and yet found nothing!
The Devas were furious.
Suddenly, the sound of a dog’s bark echoed by everyone’s ears.
"What are you looking for?"
Saromeya trotted briskly, jumping out in two or three leaps, tilting her head, her ears twitching as she asked curiously.
"We’re looking for the Heavenly Emperor!"
Fire God Agni declared angrily.
At the sound of his words, his eyebrows raised, realizing something.
That voice...
Whoosh!
Fire God Agni suddenly lowered his head, his eyes flickered like fire, filled with surprise as he looked at Saromeya.
"Saromeya!"
Agni exclaimed in surprise.
"The Divine Dog Saromeya!"
"Yes, it’s her, the Divine Dog Saromeya!"
"Praise Saromeya, quickly lead us to the Heavenly Emperor!"
The Devas were overjoyed.
They had assumed the Heavenly Emperor had taken Saromeya and left the Heavenly Realm; little did they know Saromeya was still here.
Woof?
Saromeya blinked her four eyes, puzzled as she glanced around at the Devas.
Isn’t the Supreme Lord just in the Miscellaneous Grove Garden?
She tilted her head.
"Alright!"
"Then follow me!"
Saromeya said.
She turned and took off, leaping into the distant sky.
Seeing this, the Devas rejoiced immensely.
They didn’t bother finding fault with Mandara Mountain, and quickly transformed into bizarre, colorful Divine Lights, following closely behind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streaks of Divine Light, like rainbows, instantly crossed the Heavenly Realm.
Mandara Mountain also immediately stood up, glanced at his stunned brothers, and with a furrowed brow, pointed forward, exclaiming, "Aren’t you coming?!
The Mountains immediately came to their senses.
"Right!"
"Let’s follow them!"
"Indra, our savior!"
The Mountains were ecstatic and also hurriedly dashed toward the sky.
Huh?
His master?
Airavata blinked her watery big eyes, her large fan-like ears flapping as she also immediately transformed into a streak of white light, following closely behind.
The Gandharva Army also moved along.
For a moment, numerous divine lights pierced through the Heavenly Realm.
Above this vast and boundless sky, the multiple layers of clouds were dyed with an array of rapid and dazzling colors.
Boom!
But just then, the vast white clouds suddenly turned gloomy.
Dark clouds pressed down, rolling and moving!
Bright flashes of lightning flickered within these dark clouds, followed by the roar of thunder, resounding next to the ears of the Devas.
Boom!
Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed, forming a net!
The originally stable space instantly became fragmented, splitting open into numerous cracks, dense and web-like.
This unusual sight immediately caught the attention of the Devas.
What?!
The Devas abruptly halted and stopped in mid-air.
Craaack!
A sudden sound of shattering echoed as the space fractured, forming a void tunnel.
Within this void.
The Vajra Pestle sparkled with a blinding light, instantly rushing out from this void, and what followed was none other than Mayu Mountain.
"I’m back!"
"You can’t hurt me!"
Mayu Mountain’s eyes were blood-red as he roared.
His expression was fierce, and his voice, accompanied by the violent thunder, echoed continuously throughout the Heavenly Realm, incessantly.
Boom!
Boom!
"Mayu Mountain!"
"It seems that strike didn’t inflict severe injury on him!"
Mandara Mountain exclaimed in shock.
Previously, White Elephant Airavata had used the Thunder Mace Formation of the Gandharva Army and the Vajra Pestle to strike Mayu Mountain out of the Heavenly Realm.
But unexpectedly!
Mayu Mountain had followed that Vajra Pestle and returned to the Heavenly Realm.
Swish!
At this moment, the Devas were both shocked and furious.
Not only did this guy previously attempt to steal the Divine Tree, but he also dared to disdain the Devas, and now he even dared to come back, Mayu Mountain must be taught a lesson.
Sun God Surya frowned and concentrated, a golden divine scepter appearing in his right hand.
Wind God Vayu was holding a divine bow.
Fire God Agni had a divine spear in his hands. Water God Varuna even held a divine staff, ready to throw it.
God of Wealth Kubera looked perplexed.
"Who is this?"
Kubera asked.
"This guy tried to steal the Divine Tree!"
Fire God Agni shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, the God of Wealth Kubera’s eyes widened.
He got angry!
His treasury had just been robbed, and now someone was trying to steal the Divine Tree. This was a stark disregard for him, the guardian of wealth.
"Right now, I hate these evil robbers most!"
"Second are these mouse-like thieves!"
The next moment, Kubera roared angrily, his hands converged in front of his chest, his palms suffused with pulsing golden light, emitting blinding golden rays, condensing into a golden sphere.
The golden sphere burst forth, hurtling toward Mayu Mountain with a crash.
Crash!
Mayu Mountain stood suspended in the air.
The fierce winds howled around him, his thick black hair as steady as a hat, solid as a mountain, showing no sign of chaos in the tempest.
"Devas?"
Mayu Mountain’s eyes narrowed as he watched the golden sphere flying toward him, utterly unflustered.
He raised his arm suddenly, reaching out with his hand wide open, and actually caught the returning golden sphere firmly.
"Hahaha!"
"Ahahahaha!"
Mayu Mountain held the golden sphere in his right hand and burst into loud laughter.
The next moment, his fingers clenched suddenly.
The golden sphere exploded immediately, sending golden light scattering in all directions, transforming into countless flying Mayu that spread their wings, their sharp beaks and iron claws filling the sky, emitting piercing screeches as they charged towards the Devas.
"!!!"
The Devas’ eyes narrowed, staring intently at the Mayu that darkened the sky.
Expressions of shock and anger appeared on their faces as they waved their divine weapons, continuously striking at the flock of Mayu.
The Mountains too moved, holding divine weapons, chopping at these Mayu.
Mayu Mountain looked smug.
His gaze then swiftly landed on White Elephant Airavata.
"Despicable White Elephant!"
Mayu Mountain’s eyes turned cold, emitting a deep roar.
The next moment, a spear suddenly appeared in his hand, and with the power surging through his arm, it shot forth violently.
Airavata’s huge fan-like ears gently flapped as it abruptly turned its head, looking back at the Gandharvas who had yet to form their ranks, and it immediately panicked.
Its trunk swung!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Dry Lightning" and "Moist Lightning" shot out simultaneously.
In the instant the weapons made contact, the spear thrown by Mayu Mountain split into three, two of them and the thunderous maces colliding explosively.
The last spear continued its forceful flight toward Airavata.
What?!!
Airavata let out a cry of alarm.
"Woof~"
"My pudgy friend, run fast!"
The Divine Dog Saromeya immediately called out loudly.
With this cry of alarm, Airavata finally snapped to its senses, instantly transforming into a beam of white light, frantically flying toward the direction of the Vajra Pestle.
Whoosh!
The White Elephant pierced through the sky, following the Vajra Pestle and flying into the Miscellaneous Grove Garden.
As it gradually approached the flying Vajra Pestle, a giant pink lotus appeared in Airavata’s eyes, its petals blossoming to reveal a sleeping figure inside.
Aw!!!
Airavata’s eyes brimmed with tears as it shook its large head, emitting a cry of delight.
In this moment, the pursuing spear relentlessly continued, reaching the back of Airavata.
The Vajra Pestle also descended in tandem.
Boom!
The Vajra Pestle returned, its flashing electric light rippling like waves, traveling all over Indra’s body.
The dazzling light danced, causing the Vajra Pestle to rebound again, striking the spear and instantly igniting it with the force of thunder, which exploded into flashes of lightning.
Whoosh!
Indra also opened his eyes...
