Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199

The World Boat has been traveling for two years in the blink of an eye.

This period is very short for the Heavenly Realm, but for Li Yi, who is in cultivation, it feels extremely long. The reason it took two years on the road is intentional by the Divine Power Heavenly Emperor.

After leaving the Third Layer Heaven, he instructed the World Boat to slow down to give Li Yi time to cultivate. Although breaking the realm within this limited time is extremely difficult, the Divine Might Heavenly King thought it would be good for Taiyi to wield the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon for a little longer.

Even if he can’t break the realm, he can still increase some of his strength.

However, the Divine Might Heavenly King’s actions caused dissatisfaction among the Heavenly God Royal Family.

The orders he received were to return Taiyi and the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon to the Heavenly God Country as quickly as possible, not to waste time on the road. As a result, the Divine Might Heavenly King was urged several times over the two years.

However, the Divine Might Heavenly King persisted in his own way and didn’t pay much heed.

He was originally a Heavenly King stationed on the World Boat, with not a high status in the Heavenly God Royal Family. Even if he offended someone, the worst outcome would be continuing to station on the World Boat.

As long as he doesn’t betray the Heavenly God Clan and commit an unforgivable mistake, there’s not much anyone can do to a Heavenly King.

Moreover, the Divine Might Heavenly King received many benefits from Li Yi and already stood on Li Yi’s side. If he didn’t do something, where would his Heavenly King’s face go?

However, despite all this, the World Boat still dawdled and finally arrived at the Seventh Heaven, where the Heavenly God Country is located.

Seventh Heaven, filled with Spiritual Energy, blessed with people and resources, everywhere there’s radiant light and auspicious qi rising, here you can see the True Dragon soaring, the Phoenix singing, the Heavenly Girl dancing, and the Divine Being demonstrating... In the Heavenly Realm, powerful races almost all take root in the Seventh Heaven.

After all, such a treasure land, no one is willing to give up easily.

The Heavenly God Country is no exception; they occupy a territory in the northern part of the Seventh Heaven, forming the Heavenly God Country and have been thriving for countless years.

However at this moment.

Inside the Heavenly God Country, a few Heavenly Kings couldn’t sit still, locking onto the position of the Divine Might Heavenly King’s World Boat, immediately leading their Divine Generals straight towards it.

The World Boat had not yet entered the territory of the Heavenly God Country when it was intercepted by three Heavenly Kings.

The three Heavenly Kings, along with their subordinates and guards, rushed into the World Boat.

"Divine Might, what are you doing, coming from the Third Layer Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, with the speed of the World Boat, you should have arrived within a year. Instead, you’ve been dawdling for two and a half years on the road. Are you ignoring the orders of the Royal Family?"

A Heavenly King named Dikui glared angrily, like an enraged golden statue, exuding a powerful aura.

"Dikui, mind your temper."

The Divine Might Heavenly King said coldly, "Even though you’re from the Royal Family, you’re not from the direct lineage. In terms of identity and status, you’re inferior to Taiyi. To intercept a World Boat of the Heavenly God Royal Family’s direct lineage, are you thinking of betraying the clan?"

It’s just a way to put a label on someone, anyone can do it, and he just said it.

"You..." Heavenly King Dikui was enraged, wanting to refute but didn’t dare. He may be from the Royal Family, respected within the Heavenly God Clan, but Taiyi is direct lineage.

This fact is recognized by Emperor Haoguang and is inscribed in the family tree, so even he doesn’t dare to do anything to the direct lineage of the Royal Family.

That’s why he vented his anger on the Divine Might Heavenly King.

But within the Heavenly God Clan, everything also revolves around strength.

It’s true that Li Yi is direct lineage, but his strength is too weak. Even though respect is shown, it’s only superficial; what truly makes them bow is the strong direct lineage, not a weak heir.

"Divine Might, the journey was hard, but many in the Heavenly God Country already know about Taiyi acquiring the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon. The Divine Emperor Zhenyue said, Taiyi is too weak to wield the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon and hopes he returns it to the Royal Family."

At this moment, a female Heavenly King spoke. Her name was West Water Heavenly King, also a Royal Family Heavenly King. She didn’t get angry but immediately cited the name of Divine Emperor Zhenyue.

"I received the Emperor’s Order from Emperor Haoguang. Taiyi should continue to wield the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon. This item was acquired by Taiyi and rightfully belongs to him." The Divine Might Heavenly King said, directly ignoring the words of Divine Emperor Zhenyue.

After all, he had already pledged allegiance to Emperor Haoguang, so how could he follow the orders of other Divine Emperors?

"Divine Might, I’m saying this for Taiyi’s own good. He’s merely a Heavenly General, wielding the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon flamboyantly would only attract the covetous eyes of other strong emperors, possibly bringing him mortal danger. Every direct lineage of our Heavenly God Royal Family is extremely precious. If his life is lost due to this matter, it would be a loss for our entire Heavenly God Clan."

West Water Heavenly King continued, "And if Taiyi returns the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon to the Royal Family, the Royal Family certainly will not treat a significant contributor poorly. He will receive due rewards, and even Divine Emperor Zhenyue will personally bless Taiyi with Emperor Light, ensuring his safety."

This is a kind of exchange.

For them, such an exchange is already quite decent; after all, Taiyi as a direct lineage of the Royal Family is an outsider and his strength is merely that of a Heavenly General, getting such a reward is already pretty good.

As for the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, sorry.

It’s impossible to allow him to continue to wield it. As Heavenly Kings, they don’t even have a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, how can they allow a Heavenly General to have one? Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel·fire.net

It’s fortunate that Taiyi is a direct lineage of the Royal Family; if he were an ordinary member of the Royal Family, they’d probably have already tried to seize it.

"Divine Might, I know during this trip to the Third Layer Heaven you obtained an Imperial Palace and likely received many benefits. Know when to stop, don’t continue to defy the Royal Family, otherwise, even as a Heavenly King, you will be punished." The third Heavenly King spoke. He too was from the Royal Family.

The three-colored Divine Race Arm Ring on his arm said everything.

The three Royal Family Heavenly Kings jointly applied pressure, hoping to make the Divine Might Heavenly King give up sensibly.

Divine Might Heavenly King’s expression changed repeatedly. Although he knew such a situation might arise, he didn’t expect the Royal Family Heavenly King to be so urgent; it seemed the allure of the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon was truly too great for the various Heavenly Kings.

But he could understand.

If a Heavenly King from the Royal Family acquired a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, then within the same realm, they’d be invincible, a truly unbeatable existence.

In a race like the Heavenly God Clan that respects power, this temptation is indeed hard to resist. Even for him, if the Time Emperor Furnace were placed before him, his heart would be moved.

But alas, his status stands here, and there is not a shred of hope to acquire it.

"This matter is of great importance. Although the three of you are of the Royal Family, you are not of the direct lineage. You do not possess the qualifications to discuss the ownership of the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon," Divine Might Heavenly King then said coldly.

Since he had already offended these royal members, he could only follow the path to the end.

As long as Taiyi becomes a Heavenly King in the future, this will pose no issue.

"How bold, daring to speak to the Royal Family ?" At this moment, Heavenly King Di Kui roared in fury, unable to contain himself any longer. The Heavenly King’s Power suddenly erupted, causing the entire World Boat to sway.

Without any hesitation, he threw a punch at Divine Might Heavenly King, intending to teach him a lesson.

Divine Might Heavenly King was prepared; he too glowed with starlight around him, Divine Power flowing within the Skillful Gate and instantly converging as he also punched towards Heavenly King Di Kui.

Even though he wasn’t of the Royal Family, when faced with provocation within the same realm, he absolutely could not act like a coward.

Two terrifying bursts of Heavenly King’s power exploded forth.

Yet even with Divine Might Heavenly King’s precautions, he was blasted away, indicating there was indeed a power gap between him and Heavenly King Di Kui.

This is the difference between an ordinary Heavenly God Clan Heavenly King and one from the Royal Family.

But Divine Might Heavenly King was not injured, as their conflict was not a life-and-death struggle.

"Excellent power. Among the usual Heavenly Kings, your strength is indeed one of the strongest. But unfortunately, there is still a significant gap to the Royal Family. If you continue to speak disrespectfully, it’ll be more than just a punch," Heavenly King Di Kui warned with a heavy snort.

"Let’s go, retrieve the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon." He then blatantly ignored Divine Might Heavenly King and strode towards a Secret Realm, having sensed the weapon’s aura.

Even though the Secret Realm was sealed, a terrifying yin and yang aura still leaked out.

Seeing this, Divine Might Heavenly King sighed inwardly. He had done his best, but matters concerning the Heavenly God Royal Family were beyond his control; both status and strength were inferior to theirs. If he forcefully intervened, it would be rebelling, leading to immediate execution by the Royal Family.

"Halt, you Heavenly Kings. Taiyi is currently in seclusion for cultivation; you must not disturb." However, at the entrance of the Secret Realm, Cold Mountain Heavenly King appeared. She had witnessed the recent events.

Seeing Divine Might Heavenly King unable to stop the others, as a guardian, she had to step forward.

Cold Mountain Heavenly King stood surrounded by five formidable puppets, exuding Heavenly King’s power. Additionally, Flying Ant, White Blade, Wu Jue, several Divine Generals, and Dragon Girl Yushang appeared fully armed.

Though Heavenly Generals couldn’t contribute at this time, they had to show their stance.

"Cold Mountain, step aside. You’re just a Heavenly King Guard; the Royal Family’s matters do not concern you. We are just retrieving the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, not targeting the Royal Family’s direct lineage, so there’s no need to worry," West Water Heavenly King said, clearly recognizing Cold Mountain.

After all, the number of Heavenly Kings within the Divine Clan is limited. Having cultivated for years, they have formed some camaraderie. Hence, she persuaded with reason rather than acting rashly like Di Kui.

"The matter of the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon can wait until Taiyi’s seclusion ends. You can wait outside the Secret Realm," Cold Mountain Heavenly King said coldly, "Or does the status of the Royal Family’s direct lineage no longer matter to you?"

West Water Heavenly King’s expression slightly darkened, aware of the trouble that Taiyi’s status as a direct descendant of the Royal Family posed. If there were more members from Taiyi’s lineage, they wouldn’t have dared come.

"Cold Mountain, step aside. Today we must bring back the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon." She had to avoid the topic of Taiyi.

"What if I refuse, West Water? Are you going to kill me?" Cold Mountain Heavenly King asked, "As the guardian Heavenly King of the Royal Family’s direct lineage, you should know the consequences of my death."

The three royal Heavenly Kings immediately fell silent.

Killing the guardian Heavenly King is tantamount to treason, instigating rebellion, which would lead to being hunted by the Divine Emperor. They certainly didn’t dare entertain such thoughts.

"Di Kui, Southern Earth, hold off Cold Mountain. I will retrieve the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon from the Secret Realm." West Water decided swiftly without hesitation.

Without employing some means, retrieving the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon wasn’t feasible.

At this command, Heavenly King Di Kui and Southern Earth Heavenly King immediately prepared to subdue Cold Mountain. For them, this wasn’t challenging since the Royal Family Heavenly King’s power far surpassed that of ordinary Heavenly Kings.

Cold Mountain promptly wielded the Heavenly King Soldier, a chilling giant axe appearing in her hand. Her gaze was icy, ready for battle.

"I promised to protect Taiyi’s safety. Since you disregard the bonds of kinship, then only a battle to the death remains."

She instantly surged with murderous intent.

As a Heavenly King Guard, if she watched the Heavenly King Soldier being seized, it would equate to failing her duty, something Cold Mountain couldn’t accept.

"A mere Heavenly King dares talk of a battle to the death with the Royal Family? If you remain obstinate, I don’t mind killing you here," Heavenly King Di Kui said.

Cold Mountain Heavenly King remained silent, merely staring at him, ready to ignite Divine Blood, use all five Heavenly King puppets, and fight desperately.

In her view, these Heavenly Kings did not deserve to be called part of the Heavenly God Royal Family; they were the traitors within the clan.
