Chapter 1660: Chapter 1660

Li Ping’an looked at the black cloud rolling outside Lingxiao Hall, feeling the furious power of the Heavenly Scourge emanating from it, and felt a bit bewildered.

After the Nine-tailed Fox left, he had been thinking about the next step in the hall.

He was unaware of what had transpired in a secret realm within the Chaos Sea and couldn’t quite understand what this black cloud emerging in front of him was.

In a flash, he appeared before Lingxiao Hall, standing with hands behind his back, observing where the black cloud was.

"Your Majesty," Eastern King and a dozen ministers swiftly flew up from Tong Ming Palace below, hurriedly saluting Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an gestured for them to dispense with formalities, frowning as he looked at the black cloud ahead, asking, "Is there anything abnormal between Heaven and Earth?"

"There’s no abnormality for now," Eastern King hurriedly reported, "Everything is operating smoothly, and the Heavenly Dao has shown no disturbances."

A dozen more streams of light flew over.

Peacock Fairy led seven or eight Phoenix Clan experts to provide protection, and the Jade Pool also brought several trusted subordinates to guard the place.

"I’ll go to Dou Rate Palace for a look," Li Ping’an said in a low voice, "Do not recklessly intrude near Dou Rate Palace, this black cloud is quite peculiar, it might be a problem with the seal of the Hongjun Evil Corpse."

Before the immortals could respond, Li Ping’an’s figure flashed, appearing at a distance, his left hand forming a virtual grip, the Yuan Tu Sword already in his hand, heading towards the vicinity of Dou Rate Palace.

For Li Ping’an had already discovered.

The region the center of that black cloud was facing wasn’t Dou Rate Palace, but a mansion near Dou Rate Palace.

Where his father, Li Dazhi, resided.

Upon arriving here, Li Ping’an couldn’t help but frown deeply.

On the rooftop of the mansion, Li Dazhi was also standing with his sword, glaring at the floating silhouette above.

That silhouette was unmistakably the form of the Hongjun Evil Corpse, wearing an azure Daoist robe, hair styled in a high Cloud Crane Daoist Bun, holding a horsetail whisk in hand, smilingly watching Li Dazhi.

On the left were two more figures.

One was the Great Mage, who hadn’t returned to Xuan Capital City, and the other was the human form of the Green Ox.

The two major enforcers of the Human Teachings were there, while the Supreme Elder Lord was quietly watching the scene unraveling next door from in front of the main hall of Dou Rate Palace. He seemed ready to take action at any moment, yet chose not to subdue the Hongjun Evil Corpse at this time.

Li Ping’an caught a glimpse of the expression on the Elder Lord’s face.

The Elder Lord stood smiling. For more chapters visıt Nove1Fire.net

This allowed him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Then, hadn’t the matter of the Hongjun Evil Corpse been settled? Why was it surfacing again?

Li Ping’an loudly called out: "Ancestral Master! If there’s a problem, come to me directly, no need to trouble my father!"

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

The Hongjun Evil Corpse gave a light chuckle, its voice leisurely and natural, starkly contrasting the ’malevolence’ depicted by the swirling black cloud above.

"This matter, I’m afraid, can only be resolved by your father.

"You currently have no potential to resist the Transcender, yet this sliver of potential resides within your father."

Li Ping’an glanced at his father.

Li Dazhi also appeared bewildered, puzzlingly asking: "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean?"

"Didn’t Fellow Daoist just, under the guidance of the Fuxi Shi’s benevolent corpse, appreciate the foundation of the Transcender with this Poor Daoist?"

The Hongjun Evil Corpse spoke warmly.

Li Dazhi, feeling somewhat guilty, cast a look at his son, frowning: "Let’s discuss this privately."

"Did Fellow Daoist not tell Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Hongjun Evil Corpse chuckled:

"The Cemetery of Heavens and Earth, the several hundred past cycles of Heaven and Earth, all followed the script of Creation of Heaven and Earth, Great Calamity of Dragons and Phoenixes, War of Witches and Demons, the Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm, ending with the Doomsday Cataclysm.

"Every time Heaven and Earth perished, the Transcender would seize the Source of Heaven and Earth from this realm, preparing it for the next creation of heaven.

"In along, the core of this realm’s Heavenly Court would be extracted by the Transcender, leaving behind a complete Sea of Dao Principles, along with a mature Heavenly Dao and a few dozen Daluo Golden Immortals controlled by the Heavenly Dao.

"Outside, there are at least ten thousand Daluo Golden Immortals, along with several hundred Chaotic Behemoths, eyeing the heavens greedily.

"The more fiercely you resist, the more amusement the Transcender derives, but the outcome doesn’t change, he merely plays with you for fun.

"Just like how every cycle of Heaven and Earth, the Hongjun, Ancestral Master Hongjun, who can infinitely approach the Great Daoist Sage after merging with the Heavenly Dao yet never advance to Great Daoist Sage, have all been made into specimens.

"It was only upon seeing these specimens did this Poor Daoist understand.

"Everything is an illusion.

"On his predetermined chessboard, you simply cannot find a possibility to oppose him, from the very beginning he has been playing both sides.

"So, this Poor Daoist chose to annihilate myself."

Li Dazhi’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times: "Annihilate?"

"This Poor Daoist extinguished my own true form, benevolent corpse, original self corpse, completely severing the hope of transcendence and temporarily breaking free of the backdoor laid secretly within me by him."

The Hongjun Evil Corpse squinted and smiled:

"Soon, this Poor Daoist will also offer this Evil Corpse as a sacrifice, to accomplish the Heavenly Dao, enabling it to reach perfection, as the only possible resistance to the Transcender is the Heavenly Dao.

"Only the Heavenly Dao.

"The current Spirit of the Heavenly Dao is Li Yiqing, the son of Li Ping’an.

"He is the only hope against the Transcender."

Father’s peculiar mood is because he visited the foundation of the Transcender with Hongjun?

Later, the father’s Dao heart, though shattered, didn’t completely collapse, but Hongjun, after witnessing some shocking aspects, fully succumbed?

Um...a reenactment of the Fuxi collapse event?

Once again hearing the Hongjun Evil Corpse softly say: "Before I self-annihilate, this Poor Daoist must do one thing... Li Dazhi, you and I will merge, I become your Evil Corpse, and you use me as a bridge, to merge with the Heavenly Dao."

"Ah?" Li Dazhi exclaimed, "Me, merging with the Heavenly Dao?"

"Only you is beyond his control, or rather, only you are his nemesis."
