Chapter 1167: Chapter 411: Heavenly Court’s Aid Arrives, Dragon Clan in Peril_2

“Congratulations to Your Majesty, your primordial spirit cultivation has progressed further.”

The figure of Houtu appeared beside Li Ping’an and softly spoke.

Li Ping’an nodded with a smile, just about to ask where they are now, but Houtu blinked and whispered: “Your Majesty, why do I sense the aura of Gonggong on you?”

“Well, this,” Li Ping’an spoke earnestly, “my third teacher taught me a cultivation method that stems from Gonggong.”

“I see.”

Houtu sighed lightly:

“After Gonggong struck Mount Buzhou in anger, no one knows which Great Power stole his corpse.”

Li Ping’an’s thumb moved slightly.

He asked: “When did this happen?”

“I don’t know exactly,” Houtu replied, “At that time, during the great battle of heaven and earth, the heavenly pillar collapsed, and the waters of the Nine Heavens poured down; everyone was busy saving the creatures.”

Li Ping’an nodded slightly, gaining some doubts in his heart, but said with a smile:

“Friend, don’t overthink, my teacher has quite some skills and won’t do something as stealing your brother’s body.

“This body cultivation method was brought over by my teacher from his original world.”

Houtu seemed thoughtful and said nothing more.

Two hours passed, and the light speckles that formed Dragon Ancient Realm were faintly in view.

On the Cloud Boat, many masters gathered around Li Ping’an, Lady Ba led several human race experts to first investigate the situation in Dragon Ancient Realm and soon returned with some unfavorable news.

…

“The formation in Dragon Ancient Realm has not been broken.”

Lady Ba crossed her arms, tense-faced, and spoke quickly:

“The Ocean Race hasn’t suffered significant casualties yet, but this large formation is too domineering, effectively sealing off all retreat paths, entry, and exit are impossible.

“I went to one side of Dragon Ancient Realm, observing outwards from within the heavenly membrane, and saw a corner of the battle situation.

“The Dragon Clan has already suffered considerable casualties, more wounded than dead.

“There are over ten innate gods and demons that I can see, all of them formidable Great Demons; each Great Demon has a batch of offspring, and Dragon Ancient Realm is nearing collapse.”

“Currently, no Taoist Sect masters have come to support.”

Guilingling muttered: “It seems Kong Xuan really hasn’t come.”

“Don’t count on Kong Xuan, this support was originally something we acquired temporarily, it might not even be effective support.”

Li Ping’an rubbed his chin and analyzed carefully:

“The biggest problem now is that we can’t enter Dragon Ancient Realm.”

“The battlefield is at the entrance facing the Chaos Sea on the other side of Dragon Ancient Realm,” Tianli the Elder said solemnly, “Yinglong once helped the human race, as the first divine general of the human race, they must save Yinglong at all costs.”

Jiang Dawan asked: “If we tear open their formation from here, will it affect the outside?”

“It will,” Lady Ba responded succinctly.

Guilingling asked: “What if we charge directly out? Stick to the edge of Dragon Ancient Realm and bypass their Heaven and Earth Array, encircle them from the side.”

“The strength disparity on both sides is somewhat imbalanced.”

Lady Ba corrected:

“If both sides were evenly matched, flanking from the side would indeed work wonders.

“But now with only us, it’s at most able to fend off three or four Great Demons, difficult to affect the overall situation, it’s better to find a way from the front.

“Moreover, we’re only here to support, we can’t put ourselves in danger.”

Li Ping’an said: “We also have our 200,000 heavenly soldiers and several hundred Golden Immortals and Celestial Immortals behind us; if we can’t open the road into Dragon Ancient Realm, it’s useless to bring them for support.”

The immortals were put in a difficult position.

Li Ping’an heard a slight call from the Spirit Platform, flipped his left hand, and a purple-red Treasure Bead floated in his palm.

—The Cangyue Bead that has transformed into an acquired merit spiritual treasure.

A young boy jumped from the Cangyue Bead, bowed, and reported: “Master, I might be able to enter this formation.”

“Go and try.”

Li Ping’an agreed, holding the Cangyue Bead and heading straight for Dragon Ancient Realm.

The commander led the way, naturally all the immortals followed, passing through gray clouds and black mist, into the abyss of the void, they soon arrived at the heavenly entrance of Dragon Ancient Realm where Li Ping’an had visited once.

Dozens of golden light walls flowed with immortal lights.

Li Ping’an discovered here that the arrangement of these formations by the Dragon Clan was quite ingenious, each formation seemed independent, but in reality, they influence and complement each other, akin to a whole.

‘Constructing such formations, who knows how many spirit stones it took.’

Li Ping’an had such a strange thought arise in his heart.

The Cangyue Bead flew on its own to the light barrier of the formation, emitting specks of flowing light from within, the youth artifact spirit of the Cangyue Bead kept gesturing, sending specks of light flying into it.

Feng Qingyang suddenly said: “Your Majesty, I can assist the Cangyue Bead.”

“Eastern King, please.”

Li Ping’an raised his hand in a gesture, Feng Qingyang held the Eight Trigrams Plate, supporting the Cangyue Bead from behind;

Seeing this, Li Ping’an contemplated slightly, invoking the power of the Heavenly Dao, fortifying the Cangyue Bead.

After a short while, the Cangyue Bead began to slowly immerse into the light barrier ahead.

A moment later, the Cangyue Bead wholly submerged into the light barrier, Feng Qingyang was drenched in sweat, continuously consuming Elixir Pills to replenish his mana.

About an hour later, Feng Qingyang lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, caught by Li Ping’an.

The Cangyue Bead shone brightly, a hole the size of a bowl mouth appeared on the light barrier of the great formation ahead, yet the operation of the formation was unhindered.

Li Ping’an gave an order, streaks of flowing light flew into it!

The Cangyue Bead spun back into Li Ping’an’s palm, the voice of the artifact spirit was filled with fatigue:

“Master, if you wish to leave this realm later, just summon me out, and I can immediately open the flaw in this formation.”

“Well done, rest for now.”

“Yes, Master.”

The artifact spirit made no more sound, Li Ping’an looked ahead, his heart shaken by the scene before him.

The great sea of the Ancient Dragon Realm was roaring, surging, as if some colossal creature below might break through the waves at any moment.

The edge of the great sea was boundless Chaotic Sea.

Through a thin layer of formation, dozens of colossal, indescribable Chaotic Behemoths could be seen, extending their bodies out of the Chaos Sea, some releasing countless starlight, while others attacked the massive dragons with various unimaginable means.

The Dragon Clan had fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage.

The ‘offspring’ released by these gods and demons had already engaged half of the Dragon Clan’s fighting power.

The strongest dozen or so dragons barely faced off against an equal number of Innate Gods and Demons;

The strongest fighter of the Dragon Clan, Clan Leader Ao Guang, wrestled one-on-one with the mightiest Innate God and Demon, while Yinglong battled face-to-face with an Innate God and Demon covered in magical eyes.

The bodies of these Innate Gods and Demons had various divine traits, completely different from the Creatures of the Primordial World.

Moreover, countless Chaos Creatures clung to the outer formation of the Ancient Dragon Realm, causing it to tremble incessantly, rapidly consuming its strength.

Before these Dragon Clan experts could suffer massive casualties, this formation might not hold.

Witnessing this, Li Ping’an intuitively realized how powerful the unassuming Xuan Capital City and the inconspicuous Xuan Du Da Fa Shi were under the support of the Tai Chi Diagram.

Additionally, the Dragon Clan had two negligible internal defense lines.

One line was composed of Dragon Guards, most of whom lacked the strength to enter the Chaos Sea;

One line was composed of weaker members of the Ocean Race.

This Ocean Race seemed numerous, but in reality, they were ineffective.

In a nest overturned, no egg remains safe.

Lady Ba said: “Your Majesty! I will lead my troops to charge aid from the front!”

“Go ahead.”

Li Ping’an casually drew the Yuan Tu Sword, advising: “The general has personal concerns, please conserve your strength for self-preservation, I will lead those below the Taiyi in Dao Realm to clear those Chaos Creatures outside the formation.”

“Hmm,” Lady Ba, with a touch of gentleness in her eyes, accepted the Yuan Tu Sword, bowed with fists clasped, then turned into a flame rushing toward the front battlefield.

All the Taiyi Realm, Daluo Realm experts except Guilingling pursued forward.

Yinglong roared: “Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for the aid! The Dragon Clan is deeply grateful and will surely repay generously!”

From various places in the realm gathered gazes and spiritual senses.

Li Ping’an calmly took out several slaughtering treasures, with Guilingling guarding closely by his side.

Look at this green-robed Heavenly Emperor:

In his right hand, he lifted the Xuantian Tower; in his left hand, he held the Soul-Cleaving Banner; surrounded by Water Earth Cushion, accompanied by the Spiritual Treasure Sword Box outside his body.

He led the remaining experts besides Feng Qingyang from the entrance of the formation into the Chaos Sea, not daring to divide forces, sticking to the formation wall to unfold formation, deploying various treasures, displaying Divine Skills, casting divine light, beginning to clear those nearly endless ‘little gods and demons’.

These entities were not difficult to sweep away, averaging strength between True Immortal and Celestial Immortal, but their numbers were indeed too many.

The battle commenced fiercely.

Li Ping’an did not demonstrate much prowess, conserving mana, overseeing the overall situation, striving to maintain this formation.

On the other side of the battlefield.

A pair of eyes filled with a hint of amusement stared closely at Li Ping’an, with smiles in their gaze.
