1082: Chapter 377 The Key to Breaking the Game!_2 1082: Chapter 377 The Key to Breaking the Game!_2 The more mortal casualties, the more power from the Sea of Blood and Asura is drawn in, forcing Xuanyuan Huangdi to lead the Human Race’s Qi cultivators in a full-scale battle.

The disaster of East Continent has fully erupted.

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi truly couldn’t bear it, and ceased using the Tai Chi Diagram for observation.

His strength was far inferior to that of the Taiqing Sect Leader, unable to activate the various miraculous uses of the Tai Chi Diagram, he could only protect a few larger cities from afar, and do his utmost to resist the giant crow ahead.

The Great Mage grasped the Universe Ruler in his hand, staring at the crow in front of him.

Without the protection of the Tai Chi Diagram, he actually couldn’t withstand this Heavenly Dao behemoth’s bizarre power of assimilation, but now, he must take the risk…

to try…

Hmm?

The Great Mage frowned as he looked at the giant crow.

The giant crow, which had been continuously crashing into the phantom of the Tai Chi Diagram, now seemed suddenly drunk, its body wrapped in a withered grey light stumbled and fell onto the land of ashes below.

And on the back of the giant crow…

The Great Mage couldn’t help but tilt his head slowly.

The crow’s back originally had ghostly figures, previously many of these shadows had dissipated, now they’re reappearing.

They actually divided into two groups and started crisscrossing, colliding with each other.

The giant crow let out a sorrowful ‘caw caw’.

‘Could it be…

Ping’an!’

Great Mage’s spirits lifted, he swung the Universe Ruler and smashed down swiftly, casually tearing open a rift in the Universe as if to swallow the giant crow!

“Caw—”

The giant crow opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of grey mist, which instantly enveloped itself, causing the rift to oddly close upon nearing the grey mist.

The Universe Ruler’s shadow descended a thousand zhang, hitting the grey mist, making only the crow sway slightly.

“Humph!”

The corner of the Great Mage’s mouth trembled slightly, his figure flickered and disappeared from high up, as countless shadows of the ruler appeared in the sky, bombarding the grey mist fiercely.

The giant crow continued to emit mournful cries.

The Great Mage was unsure whether he could help Li Ping’an, who had been swallowed by the inner Heavenly Dao, but all he could do now was just this.

Fighting against the manifestations of the Heavenly Dao imposed too many constraints.

A moment ago.

Inside the Illusionary Realm of the Inner Heavenly Dao.

The outnumbered troops of the external Heavenly Dao, under Li Ping’an’s call, had already retreated into Qing Lake.

These dozens of divine spirits, led by ‘Xihe’ and ‘Wangshu’, were indeed ferociously wild.

These Heavenly Slaves that Li Ping’an had painstakingly gathered, had already been reduced to pieces in dozens, with the remaining half sustaining injuries.

As he was about to make a decisive choice, sacrificing a hundred Heavenly Slaves here to cover the majority’s retreat to the Blood Lake…

fissures suddenly appeared in the sky of the Illusionary Realm.

Massive shadows of rulers fell from high above.

‘Xihe’ and ‘Wangshu’ each let out a cold snort, taking some divine spirits into the sky, invoking massive dark clouds to block the falling shadows.

The entire Illusionary Realm of the Inner Heavenly Dao began to tremble violently.

Seizing the moment, Li Ping’an swiftly organized a counterattack of the Heavenly Slaves, but it was abruptly halted after a brief moment.

No way, ‘Xihe’ returned driving her chariot to attack again.

‘Wangshu’ and several divine spirits of the inner Heavenly Dao were enough to maintain the stability of the realm.

“Retreat first!

Close the gate here!”

With a loud shout, Li Ping’an led the Heavenly Slaves to retreat from the gate at the lake bottom back to the Blood Lake side, though somewhat in disarray, but fortunately the casualties were not severe, and the experts among the Heavenly Slaves were hardly harmed.

A dozen strong Heavenly Slaves braced against the lake bottom gate, temporarily preventing the divine spirits of the inner Heavenly Dao from coming over.

The Blood Lake was also in violent upheaval.

In the distance, Immortal Palaces could still be seen falling from the grey clouds, crashing onto the islands below.

Some Heavenly Slaves here had not been rescued yet.

Li Ping’an raised an eyebrow slightly.

He hadn’t seen the Great Witch Xing Tian yet, according to reason, Xing Tian and the Ancestral Witch’s corpse should also be here.

Li Ping’an summoned three hundred wounded yet still able Heavenly Slaves, instructing them to swiftly move around, using themselves as external Heavenly Dao nodes to rescue the remaining Heavenly Slaves, and rally all the Heavenly Slaves’ forces to battle against the divine spirits of the inner Heavenly Dao once more.

The remaining Heavenly Slaves formed a formation, healing on the spot, preparing for any offensive from the divine spirits of the inner Heavenly Dao.

Having accomplished these, he stood with his father and Lady Ba on the back of the silver-maned lion, taking seven or eight of the most powerful Heavenly Slaves to the island where Minghe was located.

Li Dazhi murmured nervously: “Truly ferocious, these two women.”

Li Ping’an chuckled: “Dad, shouldn’t you be saying Xihe’s charm is quite something?”

“Cough!

Don’t let this get out!”

Li Dazhi’s face blushed, muttering:

“I was just playing along with the inner Heavenly Dao, putting on a show!

When it comes to keeping pure, I’ve always remained pure.”

Lady Ba calmly looked up at the sky.

It’s said like father, like son…

Well, she’s convinced.

…

A moment later.

The father and son crouched behind a large stone, observing the restrained Minghe over on the stone pillar.

Li Dazhi cursed: “This old thing dares to sleep?

After causing so much trouble, how come the Heavenly Dao hasn’t struck him down!”

“What’s the use of your agitation,” Li Ping’an replied helplessly, “I want to release him to deal with that fake Xihe.”

“Not quite reliable,” Li Dazhi immediately opposed, “Right now, he’s likely being suppressed by the inner Heavenly Dao, if he regains full consciousness, the inner Heavenly Dao might not be able to keep him under control.

If he turns around and actually devours the inner Heavenly Dao, forcefully fusing to sanctity, wouldn’t the Desolate Era be doomed?”

Li Ping’an pondered for a moment.

Lady Ba said: “Uncle’s reasoning is sound.”

Uncle?

Li Dazhi blinked, giving Lady Ba, this Human Race divine general and daughter of the Human Emperor, a once over, finding her immensely beautiful and valiant, instantly showing a kind smile.

He took out a family heirloom jade pendant from his sleeve, intending to present it as a meeting gift, but the jade pendant instantly turned into a handful of ashes.

“Almost forgot this is the Illusionary Realm of the inner Heavenly Dao.”

Li Dazhi squinted and smiled, saying:

“Uncle will make it up to you once outside, our Li family holds great respect for rituals, and a meeting gift is a must.”

Lady Ba smiled and nodded, hurriedly saying: “You need not trouble a niece, I stand as peers with His Majesty Ping’an, naturally I am your junior, it should be I who brings you a meeting gift.”

“Eh,” Li Dazhi waved his hand, feeling a bit floaty.

In that moment, he seemed to see himself donning traditional attire, addressing each other as in-laws with the legendary figure Xuanyuan Huangdi, drinking merrily together.

Marvelous, truly marvelous!

Li Ping’an, with a stern face, remarked: “Could we save the family chat for later!”

“Right, right,” Li Dazhi hurriedly said, “let’s first figure out what to do with Minghe.”

Lady Ba moved to stand slightly behind Li Ping’an, her body close to his, seeming like she could have intimate contact with his perfect form with just a lift of his hand.

Li Ping’an turned to look at the eight crouching Heavenly Slave experts nearby, asking: “Having once been assimilated by the inner Heavenly Dao, do you have any ideas?”

The group of Heavenly Slaves thought carefully, then shook their heads one by one.

King Yin Kui bowed and reported: “Your Majesty, we are but slaves to the Heavenly Dao, back when we were within the inner Heavenly Dao, we hardly retained self-awareness, our natures were confined, our divine souls imprisoned, thus knowing very little about the inner Heavenly Dao.”

Niu Benben hastily added: “Minghe twice seemed like he was about to suddenly wake up recently, it was when the power fluctuations within the inner Heavenly Dao were particularly severe.”

This old god of slaughter still has a chance of waking up on his own?

Li Ping’an’s heart tightened as he quickly devised a strategy.

To his thinking, if he couldn’t beat ‘Xihe’, might as well release Minghe and let them clash.

But his father’s consideration was also right.

If Minghe defeats ‘Xihe’, which is to say, subjugates the self-awareness of the inner Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t he then possess the entire inner Heavenly Dao?

Minghe had a precedent of refining the Sea of Blood after all.

What wouldn’t such a primordial being of the Desolate Era do?

With the Six Great Masters absent, if Minghe could devour the inner Heavenly Dao, his next target might just be the outer Heavenly Dao…

then it wouldn’t be just East Continent midlife all-in, it might significantly alter the Desolate Era’s structure.

“What’s strange is…”

Lady Ba suddenly remarked:

“Minghe’s Sea of Blood is absolutely crucial to the inner Heavenly Dao, it’s currently the support of the inner Heavenly Dao’s power, yet Minghe is simply imprisoned here.

“Doesn’t the inner Heavenly Dao require Minghe to control the Sea of Blood?”

Li Ping’an and Li Dazhi were simultaneously taken aback.

Father and son simultaneously flashed bright-eyed, as if Li Ping’an suddenly had an epiphany, he asked in a low voice:

“Where are the swords?”

The others were puzzled.

Li Ping’an quickly said: “Yuan Tu, Abi, the treasures of massacre, where have these two swords gone?”
