Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177

The appearance of Emperor Haoguang resolved the deadly crisis before them. The Divine Might Heavenly King narrowly escaped death and survived, though he couldn’t help but feel a chill facing that blow from Jiehe Rakshasa Emperor.

In the Heavenly Realm, the disparity between each realm is immense, and it becomes even more so the higher you go.

A group of Heavenly Soldiers might succeed in vanquishing a Heavenly General, but if a group of Heavenly Kings were to strike, they would not be able to harm a Heavenly Emperor at all. Without the Heavenly Venerate emerging lightly, the Heavenly Emperor is the true master of the Heavenly Realm.

"Is this the power of the Heavenly Emperor? Truly, it is indescribably terrifying." Li Yi was shocked internally at this moment, and then he thought of Hua Qing.

"Did Old Man at his peak also hold such combat power?"

This was indeed difficult for one to accept.

Moreover, with such combat power, coupled with the Sword Coin capable of crossing realms, how on earth did he end up being reduced to just a remaining spirit?

Li Yi couldn’t imagine, nor could he understand how a Heavenly Emperor Level power could encounter such calamity in the Heavenly Realm. To know that Hua Qing, this Old Man, enjoyed cross-realm gallivanting and showboating everywhere, logically there should have been no chance of a fall.

Because he only went to small worlds where, at most, not even a Heavenly Soldier’s power was available.

Yet the result was not only had he vanished, but the Sword Coin was broken as well.

Could it be that Hua Qing, this old thing, was improper and used the Sword Coin to prod a Heavenly Venerate’s backside?

"The might of the Heavenly Emperor, it brings back fond memories of the distant past." In advance of Hua Qing, this Old Man awakened at this moment. He sighed as if reminiscing the old days.

"Jiehe Rakshasa Emperor, Emperor Haoguang, speaking of which, I’ve seen both of them before. However, times have changed, and now, the old me, as a reincarnated remnant spirit, is merely a child, whereas they remain imposing as ever with their emperor’s might."

Li Yi said, "Quit bragging about the old days and focus on your cultivation. Right now, you’re nothing more than a stray without me; you probably couldn’t even reclaim your home."

"Don’t say it like that. The old me has already overcome the toughest of challenges. With the remnant spirit restored and Primordial Spirit returned, it won’t be long before I ascend to the emperor’s throne again," Hua Qing said.

"That would be in hundreds or thousands of years hence, by which time I’ll have already become a Heavenly Emperor ahead of you, and you’ll have to call me Emperor Taiyi."

Li Yi had even thought about his own emperor title at this moment.

"You’re slipping into fantasy again; wake up. When you luckily reach the Heavenly King Realm someday, you’ll understand just how hard it is to become a Heavenly Emperor," Hua Qing retorted.

"The old me is different, as I am merely retracing my steps. Recovering the power of a Heavenly Emperor is only a matter of time. You should heavily invest in me now. Once my power is restored, I’ll gift you a thousand Female Rakshasa, a thousand Heavenly Girls, a thousand Dragon Girls, allowing you to indulge in unparalleled pleasures day and night."

"You, old rascal, are just afraid I’ll become emperor ahead of you, so you plan to corrupt me with alluring beauty; I won’t fall for it." Li Yi spat.

Hua Qing said, "Speaking of which, I have quite a few beautiful maids in the Emperor City within the Third Layer Heaven. Once you send me back, feel free to choose among them; consider it a reward from the old me."

"Stop dreaming. By now, if you return to your Emperor City, it must have been cleared out by your former wives, concubines, and maids, likely not a single roof tile left. You’re surely a pauper now," Li Yi said.

"Absolutely impossible," Hua Qing declared confidently. "This is the Heavenly Realm, not your wicked Earth; don’t envy the old me. As soon as I return, I can immediately restore my former glory, control the Emperor City, and reclaim all that was lost."

"With my former holdings, it won’t be long before I surpass you into the Heavenly King Realm. You’ll be drooling behind me at that time."

"Hehe," Li Yi chuckled.

"Shh, don’t speak; Emperor Haoguang is back," Hua Qing suddenly hushed, before swiftly concealing himself.

He, as a reincarnated remnant spirit of the Heavenly Emperor, must be avoided from being discovered; it would certainly be disastrous.

As his words concluded, the next moment, the boundless Emperor Light shone down, revealing that Emperor Haoguang, who had previously left, returned once more.

Evidently, this Emperor Haoguang did not pursue the Jiehe Rakshasa Emperor intensely but merely drove him away before ceasing to attack; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so calm outside the World Boat.

However, with the departure of Jiehe Rakshasa Emperor, this matter could be considered concluded.

"Greetings, Emperor Haoguang."

Divine Might Heavenly King, along with many Heavenly Generals and other cultivators within the World Boat, all respectfully saluted.

Such a level of powerhouse, wherever they roam, will be greeted with reverence, and none would dare to show disrespect to a Heavenly Emperor unless they hold no fear of death.

Emperor Haoguang, at this moment, was enshrouded by an infinite Emperor Light, his figure unclear, yet everyone could feel that he was a towering figure, radiantly divine.

Currently, Emperor Haoguang did not speak, but his gaze fell upon Li Yi.

The reason the Rakshasa Clan stirred things up so grandly was all because of this cultivator named Taiyi, and Divine Might Heavenly King had mentioned to him that this Taiyi was not a member of the Human Clan, but a bloodline cast out belonging to the Heavenly God Royal Family.

Li Yi felt his body hair stand on end at this moment.

He felt as though every secret of his body was exposed under the other’s gaze.

"Indeed, the bloodline of the Heavenly God Clan, but not a naturally born royal. It was through some special opportunity, a baptism of some transformative power, resulting in a transformation. However, this transformation is even more stunning than the Heavenly God Royal Family, with greater potential. If all goes well in the future, there is also a chance to become a Heavenly Emperor. If we can preserve this bloodline, it will be greatly beneficial to the entire Heavenly God Clan."

Emperor Haoguang mused in his heart, unable to help but marvel at such an extraordinary occurrence in the world.

A mixed-blood human possessing bloodline power that actually surpasses the Heavenly God Royal Family.

However, the Heavenly God Clan only recognizes bloodlines, not identities. Regardless of what Li Yi was before, from today on, he is a direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family.

"Taiyi is indeed of the Heavenly God Royal Family bloodline. Divine Might Heavenly King, entertain him well, and do not make any mistakes. I will engrave his information into the royal family genealogy, allowing him the treatment deserved by the royal lineage. Once this matter is concluded, I will note a great merit for you."

Emperor Haoguang spoke, then waved remotely toward Li Yi, and a glob of purple blood flew out from his body, which he then collected into his pouch. After doing this, he stepped on endless divine light and gradually disappeared.

Although Taiyi is a member of the Heavenly God Royal Family, even as a Heavenly Emperor, it is impossible to constantly pay attention to a Heavenly General. Recording the divine blood within him, engraving it into the genealogy, and granting him royal lineage treatment is already a significant focus from the Emperor on Taiyi.

Only when Taiyi someday breaks through to the Heavenly King Realm, exhibits enough potential, and has a chance to become a Heavenly Emperor, will he be entrusted with greater treatment and support by the entire Heavenly God Clan.

"Respect the Emperor’s Order." At this moment, Divine Might Heavenly King bowed once more, immediately overjoyed.

Not only did he achieve a great merit, but through Emperor Haoguang’s confirmation, this Taiyi indeed has a precious bloodline, receiving royal lineage treatment and being recorded into the genealogy.

"You, my friend, have truly lucked out, inadvertently becoming a direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family. You must know that the Heavenly God Clan is a very powerful race in the Heavenly Realm, with a Heavenly Venerate overseeing at the top. With the identity of a royal lineage, one cannot imagine the benefits you will obtain. However, if you become wealthy, don’t forget to share some benefits with old me."

After Emperor Haoguang left, Hua Qing appeared again, exclaiming in awe and becoming instantly envious.

However, under normal circumstances, even if Li Yi had the Heavenly God Clan’s bloodline, he wouldn’t be favored by them. Yet, after being baptized by that purple blood, he underwent an unimaginable transformation, making his bloodline comparable to the royal lineage.

Honestly thinking, that adventure in the Sea of Ruins was truly worthwhile, directly transforming from a pauper into a second-generation wealthy. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n0velfire.net

Of course, he is not lacking either, also establishing a supreme foundation. If one day he can restore to the Emperor Realm, he might even explore the mysteries of the Heavenly Venerate.

At this moment, Li Yi frowned and asked, "Won’t this be dangerous? Just now, that Emperor Haoguang took a glob of my purple blood..."

"The other side wants to engrave your bloodline into the Heavenly God Clan’s genealogy. Besides, after you become a direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family, the treatment is outrageously high. How could there be any danger? As long as you don’t offend a Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Realm, you can practically walk sideways. Even if a Heavenly King wants to kill you, they need to weigh whether their race is tough enough, as fighting against the Heavenly God Clan is no easy feat."

Hua Qing said, "And if I remember correctly, a royal lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family would have a personal Heavenly King Level guardian."

"A Heavenly King Level guardian? Really?" Li Yi was very surprised.

"It should be true. Although my residual soul has returned and many memories are lost, this period I remember clearly because I encountered a royal lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family traveling the Third Layer Heaven, accompanied by a Heavenly King Level guardian and a team of Heavenly Generals." Hua Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi’s eyes moved slightly. If this is really the case, then he can truly lie down under the Heavenly God Clan’s big tree in the Heavenly Realm.

Divine Might Heavenly King walked over with a group of Heavenly Generals, smiling and saying, "Taiyi, congratulations on returning to the Heavenly God Clan. From now on, you are a direct lineage of our Heavenly God Royal Family. You may rest easy for a few days, and soon the title for being a royal lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family will arrive. Until then, Jidu will take care of your daily needs."

"If you have any needs, just tell Jidu. As long as I can fulfill them, it’s no problem."

"The Heavenly King is too kind." Li Yi bowed and said, "I didn’t know about my bloodline before, and now learning it suddenly is a bit hard to adapt to. I hope the Heavenly King will allow me to return to the Secret Realm to rest for a few days."

He is now exposed, and with so many eyes watching him in the World Boat, it’s better to quickly avoid some unwanted attention.

"It’s a small matter. Jidu, take Taiyi to the Heavenly God Secret Realm to rest." Divine Might Heavenly King said.

"Yes, Heavenly King." After taking the command, Jidu led Li Yi to the best Secret Realm within the World Boat to rest.

After Li Yi left, discussions erupted within the World Boat.

"As expected, this Taiyi is of the Heavenly God Royal Family. When he slaughtered the Rakshasa Royal Family before and displayed his hundred-zhang body, I had my suspicions then."

"Originally thought to be a prodigy of the Human Clan, didn’t expect he has the Heavenly God Royal Family’s bloodline. But it makes sense; without such terrifying bloodline power, how could he suppress the Rakshasa Clan so thoroughly."

"Too deceitful, this Taiyi is too deceptive, hiding so securely that I lost the third round miserably. Had I known he was of the Heavenly God Royal Family’s bloodline, I would have bet on his victory without hesitation."

However, the Heavenly Generals of the Thunder Department, after learning of this news, became even more interested. A naturally thunder-controlling member of the Heavenly God Clan, if brought into the Thunder Department, would be truly wonderful.

Moreover, there are precedents of Heavenly God Clan members joining the Thunder Department, as the Thunder Skill of the Thunder Department is a huge temptation for many.

"Regardless of whether it works or not, I should find an opportunity to make contact." That Thunder General thought to himself.

There are those who wish to recruit, and certainly those who hold grudges.

Be aware that the Heavenly God Clan also has many strong enemies outside. If Li Yi weren’t protected promptly, stepping out of the World Boat’s moment would bring certain assassination attempts.
