Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196

No wonder Li Yi has been collecting treasures in the Imperial Palace without any other Heavenly Kings breaking in during this time; it turns out the Divine Might Heavenly King came to support, and together with the Cold Mountain Heavenly King, held off ten formidable enemies.

The combat power of the Heavenly King from the Heavenly God Clan is truly astonishing. Facing such an encirclement, they could withstand it and even repel the opponents.

Although the escape of the Heavenly King Qinglan shattered the enemies’ last line of defense, it at least proves that the other Heavenly Kings could not gain any advantage and only escaped seeing no chance of victory.

If they were completely sure they could defeat Cold Mountain and Divine Might, they definitely would not have fled.

Li Yi quickly analyzed the situation outside in his mind and felt deeply moved, not expecting Cold Mountain Heavenly King to fight to such an extent, but this fits the character of the Heavenly God Clan.

Whenever a promise is made, they would risk their lives to fulfill it, never breaking the commitment.

This is just like the warriors from the Barbaric World.

Indeed, this is a characteristic passed down through the lineage.

"Rest well, Cold Mountain Heavenly King. I’ve collected the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, I’ve taken most of the valuable items, and Li Flame Heavenly King has already died in the Imperial Palace, so this matter should be over now."

"This place is not suitable for staying long; we’ll leave when Divine Might Heavenly King returns and find a safe place to recuperate." Li Yi said.

Cold Mountain Heavenly King said nothing, only nodded.

Within the shattered Emperor City, several severely injured Divine Generals began to gather here. They had all experienced a great battle and seemed in terrible condition.

However, Li Yi could see that his guard team had clearly suffered casualties, some Divine Generals had already died in this battle.

But this was unavoidable.

"Immediately gather all remaining members, we need to leave." Li Yi commanded. Among the crowd, he saw Dragon Girl Yushang, though alive, she was covered in wounds, and her Heavenly General Armor was almost shattered, indicating she faced numerous foes.

But now is not the time for sorrow.

He needed to quickly pack up and leave; encountering other enemies again would be disastrous.

The remaining Divine Generals heard the order and immediately began to act. They started searching the ruins, looking for teammates, of course also taking some valuable items.

Moments later, Divine Might Heavenly King returned.

He walked through the sky filled with Divine Light, holding a treasure sword in one hand and a blood-drenched human head in the other.

It was a Heavenly King’s head.

After pursuing for hundreds of thousands of miles, Divine Might Heavenly King had ultimately slain a formidable enemy.

"It’s Shadow Clothes’ head." Hidden Hua Qing, seeing the familiar head, couldn’t help but speak: "This guy deserved to die, didn’t expect him to choose to betray me in the end. But I’ve memorized every Heavenly King that participated in this battle, someday I will settle accounts, one by one."

He also felt anger inside, just waiting for him to reach the Heavenly King Realm before seeking revenge, no need to wait for the Emperor Realm.

"Haha, Taiyi, you’re really something, causing such a big stir just after leaving the World Boat. But don’t worry, there’s no one in the Heavenly Realm that the Heavenly God Clan cannot offend, just a pity I came alone this time. Had I known so many enemies would be here, I would have invited another skilled clansman to join."

Divine Might Heavenly King, even after a bloody battle, was in great spirits.

He felt so stifled guarding the World Boat, rare to get this chance to battle against a group of kings, which is a lucky event for a Heavenly King of the Heavenly God Clan.

"Thank you Divine Might Heavenly King for your assistance this time." Li Yi gratefully bowed at that moment: "Had it not been for the timely arrival of the Heavenly King, we might have found ourselves in peril."

Divine Might Heavenly King laughed: "Even if I didn’t come, you’d be alright. At worst, you can use a Heavenly Emperor’s Power, don’t hesitate to use it, once depleted, just go back to find Emperor Haoguang to seal another one."

"What a pity, the Heavenly God Arm Ring can only withstand one Heavenly Emperor’s Power, otherwise I’d give you several more so today’s incident wouldn’t have happened."

"Anyway, now is not the time to discuss this, we should leave here. Let’s deal with matters back in the Heavenly God Country."

Divine Might Heavenly King also realized this place couldn’t be stayed in for long.

Those fleeing Heavenly Kings would surely leak the news from here, maybe even exaggerate, just to lure other strong foes to covet this Imperial Palace, bringing unnecessary trouble.

Divine Might Heavenly King looked at the Imperial Palace without any hesitation, manifesting his Divine Body, reaching out a large hand, and displayed the Good Technique of the Heavenly God Clan, the Star-picking Hand.

At this moment his hand seemed incomparably huge, grabbing the Imperial Palace and placing it on his shoulders, enveloping everyone in Divine Power, striding away.

Divine Might Heavenly King’s every step seemed to cross a world, swiftly distancing from this place.

Li Yi, not yet reacting, suddenly found himself on this ride.

"Four Divine Generals died in battle?"

His gaze swept, seeing only four others plus Dragon Girl Yushang left from his guard team, with the other four Divine Generals having disappeared, clearly dying in this battle.

Even with their short interaction, Li Yi felt somewhat responsible for the deaths of these four Divine Generals, as they all fought for him.

But this is unavoidable; in battles within the Heavenly Realm, it’s inevitable that some will perish.

Divine Might Heavenly King used Heavenly King’s Power to travel very swiftly, and within merely a few hours, they arrived at the nearest stop for the World Boat.

At this moment, a solitary World Boat had already been waiting here.

Nearby the World Boat, many Divine Generals guarded against anyone approaching.

"Immediately leave this place and return directly to the Heavenly God Country without stopping midway."

Divine Might Heavenly King was exhausted as he charged into the World Boat, promptly issuing orders for it to set off quickly.

Although everyone boarded, the World Boat made its course away from this place.

The cautious approach of Divine Might Heavenly King coincided with Li Yi’s feelings; although the Heavenly God Clan is powerful, it cannot intimidate every corner of the Heavenly Realm. Now, the news of the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon and Huaqing Heavenly Emperor’s reincarnation is spreading, likely inviting many troubles.

Perhaps even an Emperor may intervene.

No one knows if Huaqing during his lifetime offended any other Emperors. If so, strong enemies would likely not want to see his return by reincarnation and might act to prematurely eliminate him.

As the World Boat set off smoothly and left the place, everyone’s hearts relaxed.

Inside a secret realm aboard the World Boat.

At this moment, Divine Might Heavenly King set down that Imperial Palace, saying, "Taiyi, did you really obtain a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon inside this Imperial Palace?"

"Yes, this Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon is called the Time Emperor Furnace. It contains Yin Yang Qi, which can refine the flesh and Primordial Spirit, accelerating cultivation." Li Yi didn’t conceal anything, directly taking out the Time Emperor Furnace.

This matter couldn’t be hidden since Heavenly King Qinglan had seen this Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon firsthand; it’s better to openly display it than to keep it a secret, especially when still holding the Heavenly Venerate Order and much Purple Blood.

If the exposure of this Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon led to the revelation of the other two items, that indeed would be unfortunate.

Moreover, the most important thing is that strong figures at the Heavenly King Level can sense the truth of one’s words, and without Emperor Light concealing it, it’s hard for Li Yi to lie.

Upon hearing this, Divine Might Heavenly King immediately laughed, "Good, very good. But you need to keep this news confidential; externally claim you didn’t obtain a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon. You know the Heavenly God Clan isn’t entirely united; there are internal conflicts, too. Although you’re a direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family, you have no strong tribe backing you. Should news of the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon leak, other direct lineages might want to seize it."

Li Yi nodded upon hearing this, not finding it surprising.

As a Heavenly General, holding onto a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon sounds difficult, even if an Emperor wouldn’t step in to seize it, it would be a deadly temptation for Heavenly Kings.

"Rest assured; I will report this matter to Emperor Haoguang. If he’s willing to step in, there won’t be any issues," said Divine Might Heavenly King.

Though he also desired a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, Li Yi was a direct lineage he discovered personally, and at present sought his aid, so as a Heavenly King of the Heavenly God Clan, he would never act to seize it.

"Thank you, Divine Might Heavenly King. Additionally, within the Imperial Palace, I obtained some other treasures. I am willing to offer some in gratitude for your help,"

Li Yi, ever considerate, immediately presented, a Heavenly King Level puppet, and numerous materials for crafting a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon.

In an instant, treasure light surged within the secret realm, spiritual energy stirred, and abnormalities frequently appeared.

"So indeed, an Emperor’s collection, these are the materials to craft a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon." Divine Might Heavenly King’s eyes brightened, stunned with a hint of amazement.

It seems the value of the Imperial Palace exceeds any expectations.

Li Yi said, "These materials for crafting a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon hold no use for me and willing to gift them to Divine Might Heavenly King and Cold Mountain Heavenly King. As for those Heavenly King puppets, I have no immediate use, if Divine Might Heavenly King likes, you can take them."

He straightforwardly handed the choice to the other party, both repaying the aid rendered, and hoping for Divine Might Heavenly King to lend more strength in future.

"These items are all mine; you are indeed generous, sending them all out at once." Hua Qing felt a pang in his heart.

Li Yi quietly replied, "No matter how good the items are, one must remain alive to enjoy them. If not seeking backing within the Heavenly God Clan now, who will help when danger strikes?"

"The most important Heavenly Venerate Order and Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon are already obtained, as well as a hundred thousand kilograms of Nine Heavens Divine Water. The rest should be abandoned when needed; swallowing everything alone, beware of choking."

Hua Qing sighed in resignation without refutation.

Because Li Yi’s words were accurate; without sufficient strength, it’s impossible to hold onto so many good items.

At this moment, Divine Might Heavenly King glanced at the many treasures and immediately said, "Let’s divide these materials for crafting a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon between Cold Mountain Heavenly King and myself. They hold no use for you; as for the Heavenly King puppets, I’ll take ten, Cold Mountain Heavenly King ten, and the remaining thirty you can keep for yourself. You’ll soon break through to the Heavenly King Realm, requiring these items for protection."

"Additionally, that Imperial Palace I brought along likely contains many treasures, and I intend to present it to Emperor Haoguang to exchange for an Emperor’s Order, allowing him to permit you to possess the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, Time Emperor Furnace. What do you think?"

"Then I’ll leave it to Divine Might Heavenly King." Li Yi had no qualms, expressing his gratitude.

Both parties reached a consensus.

However, Li Yi acknowledges that Divine Might Heavenly King has indeed made considerations for him, crucially concerning the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon.

As long as it remains in Li Yi’s possession, all other treasures could be freely given away.

"Haha, a trifling matter, and this time I’ve received ample rewards too. Remember to call me next time should such matters arise," Divine Might Heavenly King, in high spirits.
