Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190

Li Yi bathed in the Emperor Light, returning with the identity of Emperor Hua Qing, intimidating the numerous kings. Many Heavenly Kings were unwilling to offend a future Heavenly Emperor and retreated one after another, even Hua Qing’s former subordinates, the two Heavenly Kings, Shadow Clothes and Barbarian Stone, might re-pledge their allegiance to him.

However, just as the situation seemed to be in their favor.

Some of the Heavenly Kings who originally intended to leave suddenly stopped, unsure why, abandoning their thoughts of leaving, and when they looked at Li Yi, they subtly exuded a few traces of sinister killing intent.

"Li Flame Heavenly King, this king knows what you are thinking, nothing more than wanting to use us to kill this person and prevent Emperor Hua Qing from reincarnating, eliminating hidden dangers for you, the traitor. You are truly ruthless."

"Indeed a heartless creature, but Li Flame said one thing right. If we leave today, will we not suffer Hua Qing’s reckoning in the future? The previous Heavenly Kings left because they were not from Emperor City, here merely to strive for opportunity. Now that Hua Qing’s reincarnation has appeared, they naturally do not want to get involved, but we are different; we are outright traitors."

"The words of Emperor Hua Qing are not to be trusted. When he regains his throne in the future, he will certainly exterminate us, even sparing the clans behind us. In the Heavenly Realm, no Heavenly King can remain unharmed after betraying a Heavenly Emperor."

"Rather than betting on Hua Qing forgiving us after reincarnation, it’s better to send Hua Qing on his way today. While he is only at a Heavenly General level of combat power, killing him is as easy as a walk in the park. Even if he has some trump cards, would we really fail with so many Heavenly Kings besieging him? If we’re scared away by mere words, we’ll certainly regret it when the reckoning day comes."

These Heavenly Kings began to secretly communicate, weighing the pros and cons, while also determining exactly how many were willing to join the siege against Emperor Qinghua’s reincarnation.

If there were many, they wouldn’t mind making a bold attempt.

If the numbers were few and the situation was unfavorable, they would certainly abandon it and flee swiftly.

Li Yi also noticed the sudden abnormal situation. Originally, many of the Heavenly Kings were about to leave, but for some unknown reason, suddenly changed their minds. Follow current novels on novel⟡fire.net

This clearly wasn’t right.

Someone must be playing tricks.

"Not good, the situation has changed, it must be that bitch Qinglan secretly instigating the other Heavenly Kings to join forces against me, leaving even that traitor Li Flame suspicious. These two dogs certainly don’t want to see me return so easily, wanting to intercept and kill me here, you must be careful." Hua Qing also realized the sudden change in circumstances and immediately guessed the reason.

Li Yi said, "Look at this, I just appeared under your identity, and your concubine is already uniting with others to kill me. Fortunately, I’ve already avoided this talk by taking the name East Pole Qinghua Emperor, but who would’ve thought your name was truly so cursed, even reversing the name and adding the East Pole title didn’t wash away your bad luck."

"But I’m already used to it; I have trump cards, and even if these Heavenly Kings join forces, I can handle it."

He did not fear these Heavenly Kings, as the identity of the Heavenly God Royal Family direct lineage indeed brought immense convenience.

"Quick, use the remaining Emperor Light to kill that bitch." Hua Qing hurried to urge him.

"See, you’re getting anxious too." Li Yi said, "But don’t be hasty. I only have a bit of Emperor Light on me, and I must maximize its effect. Using it to kill your concubine would be too wasteful, and even killing one or two more Heavenly Kings won’t change the situation."

"What do you want to do?" Hua Qing asked.

"Don’t talk, Old Green, just watch me operate."

Li Yi did not speak further, continuing to stand with his hands behind his back, maintaining a profound and mysterious posture. At this moment, he coldly glared at the crowd of kings: "Oh, you all changed your mind and stayed because you want to contend with me for the Imperial Palace? Or did that bitch instigate you to stop my return?"

As soon as these words fell.

Many Heavenly Kings had a slight change in their expressions.

This Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing, even in recovery, still had sharp insight, instantly seeing through their intentions.

"Hua Qing, stop pretending. Now, you’re only at a Heavenly General level of combat power. So what if you have Heavenly King guards around you? This amount of strength can be destroyed with a few of us joining forces."

At this moment, Li Flame Heavenly King stood out. As a traitor, he could hide no longer and must step forward. Otherwise, if driven away by Hua Qingshan’s words, it would be troublesome.

"So it’s you, the culprit. No wonder, as I said, where did that bitch Qinglan muster the courage to confront me to this extent." At this moment, Li Yi nodded slightly.

"Forget it, none of this matters anymore. If you all wish to stay, then stay. My goodwill is limited, and I can’t always tolerate offenders and traitors."

While speaking, Li Yi completely ignored their gazes and flew toward the Imperial Palace.

"Those who dare challenge imperial might, come on."

Then, he suddenly shouted, and the Emperor Light around him radiated brilliantly, as if a Heavenly Emperor in the past had returned, pressing down so hard that the kings could hardly breathe.

Li Flame Heavenly King’s expression changed repeatedly; he was now uncertain if this old fellow still had a trump card or did not.

But at this moment, he dared not test it.

That Emperor Light was still there, and with just one strike, he feared he would be annihilated instantly.

However, this reincarnated body of Hua Qing, under the blessing of the Emperor Light, hadn’t taken the initiative to attack. This clearly indicated that the opponent’s methods were very limited, with only one strike left.

"Everyone, don’t be impulsive. Hua Qing the old villain now outwardly acts strong but is actually weak. When his Emperor Light dissipates, I’ll test his true capabilities, and if he has nothing, you can all swarm in and put him to death."

Finally, Li Flame Heavenly King sought to stabilize the crowd, making a promise right then.

He had to take a gamble.

If not, once the unity breaks and the kings leave, he and Qinglan wouldn’t be able to recover, as the Heavenly God Clan’s Heavenly King alone was enough to deal with them.

"Indeed, the reincarnated body of Huaqing Heavenly Emperor is feeling guilty. Otherwise, after reclaiming a bit of his power from his past life, he would have long gone on a killing spree. We didn’t leave earlier; now it’s probably too late to leave because we’ve already been marked."

"Li Flame, just do as you said. If he can’t come up with any methods, we’ll join forces and send this reincarnated Heavenly Emperor on his way."

"Then we’ll wait until the Emperor Light dissipates before we act. We’re all on the same boat now, so don’t think about retreating at the last moment anymore."

At this moment, all the Heavenly Kings made their choice.

They no longer hid their intent to kill, their eyes coldly fixed on Li Yi in the distance.

Today, let’s pull this Heavenly Emperor down from his pedestal and let his soul return to the Emperor City.

"Twelve Heavenly Kings, still quite a number." Li Yi secretly noticed, and sighed helplessly in his heart. Hua Lu, this Old Man, truly has enemies everywhere.

Though he had managed to fool over ten Heavenly Kings with his identity, there are still many strong ones remaining.

However, he has to act quickly now, while the Emperor Light is still present.

Li Yi quickly arrived at the doorstep of the Imperial Palace. Under the protection of the Emperor Light, he ignored any dangers, harnessing Divine Power to directly push open the heavy door.

As the door opened, boundless starlight poured in, as if a world was sealed inside, revealing a starry sky before his eyes.

"He opened the Imperial Palace?"

At this moment, Heavenly King Qinglan’s expression became panicked. She worried whether Hua Qing had left some failsafe inside, hence his determination to enter the Imperial Palace.

At the same time, Li Flame’s expression also changed unpredictably. He wanted to stop him but lacked the courage; the Emperor Light was still on the opponent, and recklessly charging forward would definitely invite a strike from the Emperor Light.

"So you plan to use the cover of Emperor Light to enter the Imperial Palace first?" At this moment, Hua Qing understood Li Yi’s intention.

"You only realize now? I’m here to retrieve items, not to fight with a bunch of Heavenly Kings. That’s meaningless." At this moment, Li Yi, leveraging the enhancement from Emperor Light and the starry sky map in his mind, immediately rushed in, while not forgetting to send a sound transmission.

"Cold Mountain Heavenly King, please help me buy some time outside. If you really can’t handle it, retreat immediately and protect yourself. I have a trump card, there will be no trouble."

His speed was extremely fast, following a path straight towards the place where the Heavenly Venerate Order was stored.

But at the same time, the Emperor Light around him was rapidly dissipating, starting to extinguish bit by bit, indicating that his final strike’s power could no longer be sustained.

But this was exchanged for the fear of the twelve Heavenly Kings outside the Imperial Palace, and his opportunity to claim the Imperial Palace alone.

"Have to act quickly, seize the Heavenly Venerate Order, then the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, and next the Nine Heavens Divine Water, and then we can get out of here. Other items, if lost, they are lost; you can’t deter them for long, they will eventually break into the Imperial Palace."

Hua Qing urged at this moment.

He didn’t think Li Yi’s move was problematic, instead, using Emperor Light had better effects because the Heavenly Kings outside the Imperial Palace were unsure whether the Emperor Light on Li Yi had truly dissipated.

No one wants to risk their lives to be the one to break through.

At this moment, stars flared around Li Yi as he arranged a Grand Array, harnessed Divine Skills, and executed the World Step, a good technique that allows one to cross worlds in a single stride.

He rushed through the starry sky, his figure flickering unsteadily, and in just a moment, he was already heading towards a inconspicuous planet far away.

This planet is obscure, difficult to find, with no spiritual energy fluctuations, and an inhospitable environment, devoid of life, swept by terrible gale winds everywhere.

Even if a Heavenly King stumbled upon this place, they absolutely wouldn’t discover this is where the most precious treasure of the entire Imperial Palace is placed.

Through the World Step, Li Yi arrived at a particular spot on this desolate planet. He shouted loudly and activated Divine Power, and seen his arm condense Divine Power, he simply punched out, instantly shattering the continent beneath his feet into powder.

From afar, the abandoned planet seemed to have bitten off a large chunk, completely incomplete, and due to the change in the planet’s structure, the world was rapidly collapsing.

With just one strike, this world was heading toward its end, about to be destroyed.

Without a Grand Array protection, with a Heavenly General’s power, destroying a planet is as easy as pie.

And beneath the feet on the already powdered continent, a peculiar boulder appeared in Li Yi’s sight.

The boulder, full of pits and unsightly, was shapeless but reflected a Token form, indestructible, surrounded by Chaos Qi, revealing an unusual aura amidst its ordinariness.

"Is this the Heavenly Venerate Order?" Li Yi’s eyes flickered as he reached out across the air, grabbing the token in his hand.

Li Yi felt as if he was holding an entire world, exceptionally heavy. He guided Divine Power to securely hold it.

"Indeed, it’s the Heavenly Venerate Order, seemingly ordinary but even the Heavenly Emperor’s Power can’t destroy it." Hua Qing also saw this Heavenly Venerate Order and couldn’t help but feel moved again.

Originally, it was intended for his own use.

But now, the situation can only benefit Li Yi; otherwise, if the Imperial Palace is breached and everyone divides everything here, no one knows which traitor it would end up with.
