Chapter 1168: Chapter 412 Ping’an Battles Calamity!

Starfire blazes as the azure dragon falls, chaos rises with the ignorant evil spirits.

Li Ping’an continuously shakes the Soul-Cleaving Banner, launching beams of light in all directions, while the vast spiritual power stored within the Cangyue Bead continuously pours into him, transforming into immortal power to maintain the firepower supply at his side.

The scene of this magical combat reminds Li Ping’an of those simple video games he played during his childhood.

Swarms of bees dance wildly above;

Standing on the light wall of the grand formation, he wields his magical weapon, sweeping upwards to prevent the ‘horde of bees’ from reaching the formation’s barrier.

Thus, amidst the bizarre crisis, there was a hint of playfulness.

For the Dragon Clan, this is a moment of life and death;

But for Li Ping’an, it’s a good opportunity to observe these innate gods and demons up close.

Understand their characteristics;

Gauge their combat power;

Then find the most effective method to deal with them.

While constantly engaging in fierce battles, Li Ping’an also mobilizes many experts around him, sharing with them some efficient and labor-saving methods to slay these strange creatures.

He even uses simple object manipulation techniques to secretly retrieve the corpses of a few small gods and demons for thorough dissection later.

Chaos creatures differ immensely from innate Dao Bodies and the myriad creatures of the Vast Wilderness, some are simply a mass of solidified aura, others barely form an outline of birds, yet without distinction of head and tail, headless and mindless, some even showcase the exact shape of a standard polyhedron.

Their appearance mainly embodies chaos and disorder.

They seem more like ‘large cells’ shed from great gods and demons.

The Soul-Cleaving Banner manifests its divine prowess, while the Xuantian Tower races to rescue everywhere.

In this fierce battle lasting nearly two hours, Li Ping’an leads the reinforcements to slay countless chaos creatures, his own mana remains relatively full, and the experts he commands fight more bravely with each encounter.

Especially the group of Great Witches, who tore through the battlefield like a whirlwind, tearing apart chaos creatures wherever they passed, their efficiency in killing the enemy far exceeded that of other spiritual cultivators.

Unfortunately, they could only help alleviate some pressure for the Dragon Clan.

Guilingling wielded the Immortal-Cleaving Sword, casting rays of dark light, leisurely following behind Li Ping’an, watching the main battlefield with a bit of concern.

She suddenly said, “Master Nephew! I’m going to sneak attack a great god and demon!”

“Go ahead,” Li Ping’an instructed, “protect yourself well, do not plunge deep into the battlefield.”

“Alright!”

Guilingling responded with a promise, her figure quietly disappeared, holding the Immortal-Cleaving Sword, she moved towards Lady Ba’s vicinity, preparing to join forces to overturn a ‘headless centipede.’

Li Ping’an naturally trusts their fighting capabilities, at this moment he’s not watching more, fully attending to the current battle situation, pondering over ways to break the current stalemate.

The battlefield is on the edge of the Chaos Sea, where only Golden Immortals can join the battle, this grants chaos creatures the advantage of the terrain, and makes the reinforcements Li Ping’an brought seem like a drop in the ocean.

The reason for his hastiness to aid was multifaceted.

Firstly, it’s to preserve the strength of the Dragon Clan for better serving the Heavenly Court.

Secondly, it’s to gain the Dragon Clan’s goodwill, giving them a bit of warmth, though this warmth is often not very useful.

Lastly, it’s to showcase the Heavenly Court’s protection over its ‘own people,’ enhancing its influence and cohesion.

As for whether the occupation of the ancient Dragon Realm by the innate gods and demons would affect the Vast Wilderness, Li Ping’an isn’t worried.

On his way here, he had convened with the Heavenly Dao.

Even if the ancient Dragon Realm connects the Chaos Sea with the main world, these innate gods and demons will face strong resistance once they enter the ancient Dragon Realm, through the ancient Dragon Realm into the Vast Wilderness, they will be comprehensively suppressed by the rules of the Vast Wilderness.

The rules of the Great Dao can mutually influence.

If Li Ping’an were to make a simple summary, he would choose this descriptive approach:

[If creatures of the primordial world live within the woven rules of the Great Dao, innate gods and demons are essentially encapsulating fragments of individual Great Dao within themselves.]

This is the essential difference between the two, and the core reason why they can only be opposing each other.

Li Ping’an has long realized that to reverse the current situation, there might be three ideas.

First, gather enough reinforcements.

The Taoist Sect sends fifty top-notch experts, especially if a Great Mage arrives with the Tai Chi Diagram, these innate gods and demons could soon be repelled.

Unfortunately, Xuan Capital City is also combating innate gods and demons, compared to the ancient Dragon Realm, Xuan Capital City’s strategic position is higher.

Second, using tactics to create advantages locally and then snowball.

Guilingling has already started attempting this method.

These innate gods and demons have tough skins and flesh, extremely durable, and each holds a fragment of primordial Great Dao (Dao before the rules formed within the Chaos Sea), it’s practically impossible to eliminate them in a short time.

Third, transform the battlefield.

If these innate gods and demons enter the Vast Wilderness, they will be suppressed by the Vast Wilderness rules, affected, their appearance will be influenced by the rules of the Vast Wilderness, while their power within the world can only exert thirty percent.

The key is, if this group of innate gods and demons can be led into the world and exterminated, it would replenish the primordial world, supplementing a vast quantity of Essential Source Objects of Heaven and Earth.

Thus, Li Ping’an’s current thoughts are very clear—

It’s about preserving the living forces of the Dragon Clan as much as possible, relocating the Ocean Race, tactfully abandoning the ancient Dragon Realm, and attempting to lead the innate gods and demons into the Vast Wilderness.

How this can be achieved requires him to go with the flow, adapt to changes.

These terrifying life forms that can live and cultivate within the Chaos Sea, even if their intelligence isn’t high, they would naturally have sufficient alertness.

Trying to lure them into the Vast Wilderness and eliminate them is by no means an easy task.

Soon, Li Ping’an discovered another issue.

Self-moving Immortal Armor cannot be used outside the Vast Wilderness.
