Chapter 1170: Chapter 413: The Great Retreat of the Dragon Ancient World

The dull sound of impact spread from the edge of the grand array in all directions.

The smile on Calamity Venerable’s lips stiffened in an instant.

What’s going on?

Calamity Venerable looked at the fist that appeared in front of his own strike, and the square seal that appeared between the two fists, feeling the powerful force rebounding from the fist, his eyelids twitched violently.

A powerful physique!

Extremely fast reaction!

Calamity Venerable couldn’t believe it, eyes full of bewilderment.

When Calamity Venerable threw this punch, he did so with a heart of absolute kill, using his most powerful divine skills, attacking with stunning force, sparing no effort. Logically, there shouldn’t be any deviation!

But Calamity Venerable calculated everything, except for one point.

And that was…

Li Ping’an took this punch head-on!

This new Heavenly Emperor, a Disciple of Chan Sect with only decades of cultivation, Li Ping’an, actually exchanged punches with him!

Though the power gap between the two was vast;

Calamity Venerable’s full power punch caused the small seal to quickly develop numerous cracks. On the other end of the seal, Li Ping’an’s right fist shattered directly, and the powerful force shattered Li Ping’an’s right arm!

But Li Ping’an had already used this force to retreat rapidly, allowing his Spirit Platform to evade this lethal strike!

Not only that.

Li Ping’an’s intact left arm swung quickly, surprisingly summoning several magical artifacts at the moment he was blasted away, hurling them towards Calamity Venerable to slow his pursuit.

From all directions, more than a dozen figures were flying over!

Even an old dragon, closest to this place, roared angrily and abandoned the Innate Gods and Demons, rushing to provide rapid support!

The shock and dullness in Calamity Venerable’s eyes lasted only a moment, but he had already missed the chance to deliver a second strike.

Now he must leave this place, or he would be besieged by many experts.

But…

Calamity Venerable found it difficult to accept what had just happened.

Mother Guiling was already rushing towards Li Ping’an, whose shattered right arm was enveloped in a rich blood light. The blood light coalesced into a new arm and right hand, and the azure divine light spread across his whole body.

Li Ping’an wasn’t even seriously injured!

Since when did he cultivate his physical body?

Isn’t body cultivation supposed to take thousands of years of tempering to achieve significant results?

Calamity Venerable’s nostrils were trembling slightly, his golden body showing an angry expression, and his figure was about to pounce toward Li Ping’an. But after rushing out merely a few hundred meters, he suddenly plummeted downward, feinting a shot to shake off the experts trying to intercept him, taking along with him two of his subordinates, rapidly fleeing into the Chaos Sea.

Before leaving, Calamity Venerable turned to look at Li Ping’an, his lips curling once again into a faint smile.

But this smile was full of bitterness.

The boundless chaos creatures surged once more.

Li Ping’an let out a long scream, while the many experts returned to their places; he himself edged closer to Guiling and hid behind Guilingling.

With a puff, Li Ping’an bowed his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Master Uncle, how are you!”

Guilingling shouted anxiously:

“Quickly, take the Elixir Pills!”

“It’s nothing,” Li Ping’an took out two Spirit Pills given by the Great Mage and placed them in his mouth, exhaling gently.

A shallow red mark appeared on his Dao Body, which then faded away, returning to normal, and his freshly grown right arm could move at will.

This is the benefit of having achieved enlightenment through body refinement.

Limb regeneration is not a problem.

“So strong,” Li Ping’an said softly, his left hand already grasping the Soul-Cleaving Banner, continuing to shake it.

Guilingling asked, “Are you really okay?”

“Hmm,” Li Ping’an responded, looking at his internal organs akin to cracked porcelain, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.

Though the injuries were severe, they were not fatal.

His current Dao Body possesses self-healing and resilience abilities far beyond its Dao Realm. As long as there are no further attacks, these injuries could completely heal in half a day.

At that moment when Calamity Venerable suddenly appeared, his Dao heart almost stopped thinking, relying fully on his body’s instincts to throw out a countering punch.

Li Ping’an was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, having only one way of survival—sacrificing the lesser to save the greater, severing the arm to preserve life, taking the opponent’s punch head-on, channeling the force into his right arm, then sacrificing the right arm to escape using the residual force.

Calamity Venerable, due to his momentary bewilderment, failed to seize the opportunity to deliver a follow-up punch, thus giving Li Ping’an the chance to flee.

Guilingling visually examined Li Ping’an’s body and no longer ventured out to engage in Magical Combat, muttering:

“Is Calamity Venerable’s combat power really that strong?”

“As the second disciple of the Western Sect’s Great Sect Leader, he is indeed extraordinary.”

Li Ping’an answered with a smile like an outsider and then squinted slightly:

“This shows that the sudden uprising of Innate Gods and Demons must be closely related to this fellow.

“He really uses every trick in the book, willing to betray Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth just to trip us up and cause trouble.”

Guilingling muttered, “If this matter doesn’t get a proper explanation from the Lingshan, it definitely won’t end well with them!”

“Since he showed himself, he might be trying to cut ties with Lingshan from here on,” Li Ping’an sighed softly, “Still underestimated Calamity Venerable’s bottom line, he can be said to have no bottom line at all, even abandoning the stance of the Creatures of the Primordial World.”

Guilingling said, “Didn’t you already guess this before?”

“Guessing is guessing, but to witness it with my own eyes is something else entirely.”

Li Ping’an swayed the Soul-Cleaving Banner, looking at the falling Immortal Seal floating in front of him with a heartache.

The seal was severely damaged.

Fortunately, it acted on its own to protect its master, providing a buffer that allowed Li Ping’an to ‘retreat gracefully.’

Li Ping’an murmured, “I aim for the next time I encounter Calamity Venerable, I’m the one hitting him, not him hitting me.”

“But that’s a Daluo Golden Immortal,” Guilingling exclaimed in a low voice, “You’ve only cultivated for how long, and you can withstand his full-force strike, that’s enough to make you famous in the Vast Wilderness!”
