Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185
Li Yi wishes to monopolize the Ziwei Emperor Palace; the most reliable method is as the Cold Mountain Heavenly King suggested, to gather a few Divine Kings over, only need two or three Heavenly God Clan’s Heavenly Kings, then the Emperor Palace will be at hand.
Utilizing the trump card, the Divine Emperor’s power, is a last resort, since it could potentially attract other Heavenly Emperors, resulting in a total loss.
Li Yi’s eyes flicker at this moment, weighing the pros and cons.
In the situation where the Heavenly Venerate Order cannot be revealed, he cannot easily utilize the Divine Emperor’s power, because even he cannot bear the risks brought by the Heavenly Venerate Order.
But is inviting other Divine Kings necessarily good?
Bringing in one more Divine King means having to share more benefits; others coming personally would not easily let others run a futile trip, plus the Time Emperor Furnace this Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon is enough to tempt Heavenly Kings.
He can negotiate with the Cold Mountain Heavenly King because the Cold Mountain Heavenly King is his Guardian Heavenly King, standing on the same side, even if he truly obtained the Time Emperor Furnace, at worst they would share it.
However, other Heavenly Kings are not necessarily the same, after all, in the eyes of other Heavenly Kings, that Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon is an ownerless object, Li Yi can take it, naturally, Heavenly Kings can also take it, by then, they’ll take it and leave, and Li Yi would have no means.
"Hua Lu, you’ve indeed given me a huge predicament." Li Yi feels a headache at this moment.
Now he understands why Hua Qing decisively unloaded all these things completely, generously gifting them to him.
Whether the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon or Heavenly Venerate Order, are hot potatoes to him, once discovered he would be chased by numerous powerful people, while all Hua Qing needs is a safe and stable cultivation environment, and a large enough resource to support him to cultivate to the Heavenly King Realm.
Everything else is negligible compared to his life.
So Hua Qing only demands fifty thousand catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water, wanting nothing else.
But Li Yi, impoverished for so long, wants everything, lamenting not being a Divine Emperor, otherwise he wouldn’t ponder so much.
"Should I seek further support or not?" Li Yi begins to evaluate at this moment.
To seek further support must immediately instruct a Divine General to take action, otherwise waiting for the Emperor Palace to open, and then seeking support would be too late, the Heavenly Realm being so vast, even the Heavenly God Royal Family cannot arrive in an instant.
After pondering for a while, Li Yi decides: "Cold Mountain Heavenly King, have one of your Divine Generals inform the Divine Might Heavenly King, hoping he can come in person."
He eventually makes his decision.
"Flying Ant, White Blade, you two go to the World Boat, deliver this letter personally into the hands of the Divine Might Heavenly King, do not make any mistakes," the Cold Mountain Heavenly King says, then points his hand, a divine power turns into a secret letter, handing it to a Female Divine General.
"Yes, Heavenly King."
After receiving orders, the two Divine Generals immediately turn and leave, their speed extremely fast, displaying their Divine Bodies, stars surrounding them shining Divine Light, utilizing the World Step, disappearing beyond the horizon in just a few steps.
Evidently, the matter is of great significance, the two Divine Generals dare not be careless, must deliver the message at the fastest speed.
If late, it would be meaningless.
"Is one Heavenly King enough?" The Cold Mountain Heavenly King asks Li Yi.
Li Yi says: "Enough, and if there are too many Heavenly Kings, afraid I’ll get fewer things in hand, Divine Might Heavenly King and I have a bond, this time consider it as repaying him."
He has his thoughts in mind.
The Cold Mountain Heavenly King nods slightly, not overly interfering with Li Yi’s decision.
After the matter is finalized.
Li Yi gathers everyone and flies towards the Emperor Palace.
Although it’s still twenty days until the Emperor Palace can be opened, he must go ahead to see how many forces are involved, should the Divine Might Heavenly King’s support not be timely, he must consider facing some dangers alone.
Continuing flying forward a bit.
Li Yi seems to intrude within a certain force’s territory, immediately a Heavenly General flies out to block, "This place belongs to Feather Heavenly King’s territory, please leave."
"Feather Heavenly King?" Li Yi hesitates for a moment, secretly transmitting: "Hua Lu, do you know this Feather Heavenly King? Was he one of your former subordinates?"
"I do not know him, among the Heavenly Kings in the Emperor City, none bears the title of Feather Heavenly King, he should be an outsider, relying on his strength, occupying the land to rule," Hua Qing says with a slightly gloomy face.
This Emperor City indeed has become chaotic, without him, all sorts of beings have emerged.
"Since you don’t know him, that’s simple."
Immediately, a murderous intent surges in Li Yi’s eyes, raising his hand throwing a punch, his divine power instantly igniting, no need to light stars, just employing True Dragon Sky-reaching Technique, with sheer strength enough to defeat the opponent.
The Heavenly General is shocked, attempting to block the blow instantly, unleashing a peak strike.
Though the enemy is a Heavenly General as well, their power is too remarkable, just a punch light tearing through his attack vigorously, and its residual force striking him.
Blood spews, body cracking, merely a single strike, he is grievously wounded, defeated.
"Stop me next time, I’ll take your life," Li Yi coldly gazes, without killing him, continuing forward.
But his action is undoubtedly provocative.
Suddenly, numerous Heavenly Soldiers and Generals within this territory respond to the alert, rushing out together.
They fix their gaze on Li Yi, not immediately taking action, instead using various methods to discern the opponent’s identity.
Soon, through an intelligence network, they roughly understand the situation.
"This is a Heavenly God Clan’s guard, the leader is that young man, must be a Heavenly God Royal Family, they also intend to vie for the Emperor Palace? Previously at the Heaven-Reaching Tower, Qinglan Heavenly King had contact with this group."
"Damn it, it must be Heavenly King Qinglan who leaked the secret of the Imperial Palace, attracting strong enemies. But no matter what, it shouldn’t have attracted the Heavenly God Clan; isn’t this inviting trouble?"
"Do not engage in conflict with them. They seem to have a provocative intent; there might be a conspiracy behind this."
These Heavenly Generals were extremely cautious. Even when faced with Li Yi’s sudden provocation, they chose not to retaliate immediately. They had a premonition that the opponent’s actions had a certain purpose and were not as simple as they seemed.
Seeing that they did not take action, Li Yi decided to ignore them and swaggered across their territory.
Anyone who was blind enough to stop him would have to endure the wrath of the Heavenly God Clan.
Besides, since Hua Qing’s Emperor City was being so wantonly invaded, as Hua Qing’s good brother, he needed to help clean it up and assert his dominance as well.
But a group of Heavenly Generals was not enough to establish dominance.
If a Heavenly King could cooperate a little, that would be ideal.
Li Yi deliberately slowed his pace as he traversed this area, expecting the other side to swallow their anger and pretend nothing happened. However, just as he was approaching the Imperial Palace, the aura of a Heavenly King approached from afar.
"Feather Heavenly King is here."
"Feather Heavenly King."
Many Heavenly Generals shouted in relief, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Li Yi stopped in his tracks and glanced at the Feather Heavenly King. Although he resembled the Human Clan, he had a pair of pristine, jade-like divine wings on his back, resembling an angel from Earth’s mythology.
Clearly, he was from a special race as well.
At this moment, Feather Heavenly King came personally, with sharp eyes fixed on Li Yi, yet not showing anger.
He dared not provoke the Heavenly God Royal Family.
His purpose was merely to control the situation, as even suffering some losses and damage to a few subordinates was worth it as long as he could send them away.
"Can Cold Mountain Heavenly King cut down this Feather Heavenly King? Our Heavenly God Clan has just arrived and is contending for the Imperial Palace. Inevitably, there will be some blind ones provoking us. Using a Heavenly King’s head for demonstration would surely have a great effect." Li Yi squinted his eyes and communicated secretly.
"Mere Feather Clan Heavenly King, cutting him down is not difficult." Cold Mountain Heavenly King responded calmly.
This was the confidence of the Heavenly God Clan. Once in the same realm, there were not many races that could match them. The Feather Clan was just an ordinary race among the Heavenly Realm’s clans, nothing too remarkable.
If they couldn’t even win this, the Heavenly God Clan would lose all face.
"Alright, please proceed, Heavenly King," Li Yi said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cold Mountain Heavenly King suddenly moved, disappearing from the spot. A special divine power from the Heavenly God Clan erupted, spilling a frigid aura that instantly froze the world, seemingly freezing time and space itself.
In just the blink of an eye, Feather Heavenly King turned into an ice sculpture, a trace of shock in his eyes.
He seemingly didn’t even react.
But then, Feather Heavenly King burst into a fury, roaring as he shook his wings. Heavenly King’s Power erupted, shattered the ice, and then revealed the King’s Weapon, swinging a massive Purple Gold Hammer toward Cold Mountain Heavenly King.
"Heavenly God Clan, you bully too much. Hear my command, surround and kill this group, don’t let a single one escape." He had sensed the opponent’s murderous intent, and even if he tolerated it today, it would be useless.
Since that is the case, he decided to fight.
As he attacked, Feather Heavenly King quickly sent messages to several other Heavenly Kings.
In order to compete for the Imperial Palace, many Heavenly Kings had gathered here, and Feather Heavenly King was one of them.
He hoped these Heavenly Kings would join forces with him to drive away the Heavenly God Clan; otherwise, with such a fierce tiger crossing the border, even if the Imperial Palace opened, there wouldn’t be much benefit to gain.
In an instant, Feather Heavenly King made numerous arrangements.
"Divine Power Opening Heaven."
But at this moment, Cold Mountain Heavenly King also revealed her King’s Weapon—a giant axe, sufficient to freeze ten thousand miles, as if carved from ice and snow. As a Female Heavenly King, she wielded the giant axe, showcasing terrifying combat power.
And she started with a killer move.
Stars lit up on her Divine Body, arraying a Killing Array, readying a deadly strike.
This axe truly seemed like it could split heaven and earth, the sky above Emperor City dimming, and everything around seemingly returning to chaos.
The two Heavenly Kings erupted into battle at this moment,
but with just one strike, Feather Heavenly King was shocked. He felt his Heavenly King’s Power was directly crushed, and his Purple Gold Hammer nearly got blasted away.
Even his body was creaking, seemingly under unbearable pressure, about to crack open.
"Is this the Heavenly King’s combat power of the Heavenly God Clan?" At this moment, Feather Heavenly King finally understood how terrifying these top races of the Heavenly Realm were. Just a single exchange showed the disparity.
But he still endured it, yet he already harbored thoughts of retreat.
He couldn’t win. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelfire.net
Completely unable to win.
If he continued fighting, he would undoubtedly die.
The Imperial Palace had not yet opened, and he did not want to have a life-and-death struggle with the Heavenly God Clan’s Heavenly King at this time, as it was pointless.
Moreover, several Heavenly Kings from afar were merely observing, not persuaded by Feather Heavenly King’s call for support, but instead choosing to watch the tigers fight from the mountain.
