Chapter 1171: Chapter 413: The Great Retreat of the Dragon Ancient Realm_2

“Famous in the Desolate Era?”

“Oh, yes, you are already a famous figure in the Desolate Era.”

Guilingling smacked her little lips, carrying the Immortal Sword and continued poking and jabbing, trailing closely behind Li Ping’an, her lively big eyes observing all directions.

Thinking about it now, she felt afraid.

If something were to happen to Li Ping’an, she feared her master, Yaoyao, and Qing Qing would cook her into turtle soup.

…

“Your Excellency, how are you?”

“I’m fine.”

Calamity Exalt was squatting in the void near a wisp of Chaotic Aura, watching the place of the great battle in the Dragon Ancient Realm, with lingering astonishment and doubt in his eyes.

“Was this Li Ping’an originally cultivating in the physical body?”

The two ferocious demons looked at each other.

Calamity Exalt pondered a few times, his twelve-foot golden body gradually dissipating, lowering his head and sighing.

“We can’t kill him today, and it will become harder and harder to kill him in the future.”

“Your Excellency, he seems to be protected by the Heavenly Dao…”

“It’s not the Heavenly Dao, at least not this time,” Calamity Exalt said, “The influence of the Heavenly Dao in the Chaos Sea is minimal, otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would have operated by itself to hinder our actions before we launched the attack. Everything went smoothly this time because Li Ping’an’s strength suddenly increased.”

“This is somewhat puzzling, could Li Ping’an really be the reincarnation of the Enlightenment Stone, how long has he been cultivating in total?”

Calamity Exalt mumbled to himself: “I was just trying out just now, it doesn’t matter if I can’t directly destroy him, as long as the offensive of the Innate Gods and Demons is unaffected, there’s no major issue.”

“Your Excellency, if the Innate Gods and Demons really took over the Dragon Ancient Realm, wouldn’t we be…”

“Wouldn’t it be that we led the way for the Innate Gods and Demons…”

“Even if we are called ferocious demons, in the end, this matter is, somewhat, somewhat too evil.”

Calamity Exalt looked up at these two fellows.

There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he said leisurely: “You really think that the Innate Gods and Demons can ignore the suppression of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth and directly attack from the Dragon Ancient Realm?”

“Forgive us, Your Excellency!”

“Subordinates have no other intentions!”

“Alright, do you think I can’t understand your thoughts?”

Calamity Exalt clicked his tongue:

“Such a betrayal of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth makes anyone carry some guilt.

“Rest assured, although the Innate Gods and Demons were encouraged by me to storm the passage into the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth from the Dragon Ancient Realm;

“But once they enter the Dragon Ancient Realm, they will find that even if they can enter the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, their strength will be greatly reduced.

“All I want is for them to restrain the New Heavenly Court and the Human Race, giving us some breathing space.

“After all… this is my hard work.”

He looked in the direction of the Dragon Ancient Realm, which is to say, looking in the direction of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, and for a moment, he was somewhat lost.

“I have already lost the qualification to seek peace with a Dao heart, and if I were to lose even these, I would find that all these years, I have merely been a pathetic person, stumbling forward, without knowing my destination, I truly have nowhere left to retreat.

“Just like you, you’ve been branded as ferocious demons, and there’s no retreat for you either, you can only continue down this path.”

The two ferocious demons lowered their heads without speaking.

Calamity Exalt laughed freely: “Forget it, if the ambush didn’t succeed, it didn’t succeed, the Dragon Ancient Realm certainly can’t be defended and we’ll go have a look around Xuan Capital City.”

“Yes.”

…

The reinforcements brought by Li Ping’an soon engaged in a bitter battle together with the Dragon Clan.

Due to Calamity Exalt’s failed ambush this time, Guilingling was also tied to Li Ping’an’s side, which undoubtedly made the frontline battle situation even worse.

Lady Ba grew braver as she fought, rapidly inflicting heavy injuries on the Innate Gods and Demons in front of her, but still unable to kill such a ‘scale’ of a life form in a short time, hence unable to exert influence over the overall situation.

The masters of the Taoist Sect have yet to come to the rescue.

Kong Xuan might have already reached the vicinity of Xuan Capital City but has not appeared to confront the Innate Gods and Demons.

Considering the time, the masters of the Taoist Sect should have already received news of the invasion of the Dragon Ancient Realm, and the second batch of reinforcements is likely rushing from the main world.

As for those experts and Heavenly Soldiers dispatched by the Heavenly Court…

They were originally here to clean up the aftermath and help the Ocean Race retreat, but the long journey means they can only proceed slowly.

Moreover, even when they arrive, they would only be able to watch inside the array, like the vast number of sea soldiers, unable to go out to aid.

Since the Calamity revealed itself, three more hours have passed, and the Dragon Clan has shown signs of complete collapse.

The injuries of Li Ping’an have mostly healed, so he no longer delays, letting out a long howl, and simultaneously transmitting his voice with Yinglong and the Dragon Clan Leader Ao Guang:

“This place can no longer be sustained, we must retreat back to the array!”

Yinglong transmitted his voice in a shout: “The array facing the onslaught may not hold for more than four or five hours!”

However, Ao Guang stated: “We can only find a way to send away the beings of this realm, Our Dragon Clan will abandon the Dragon Ancient Realm.”

At this moment, it was Yinglong who appeared hesitant.

He shouted through voice transmission: “The Dragon Ancient Realm is our last retreat for the Dragon Clan, if we abandon this place… Your Majesty, brother, how can the Taoist Sect come to aid?”

“Xuan Capital City is also under siege,” said Li Ping’an, “Xuan Capital City is the eye of the Heaven and Earth Array, the Taoist Sect prioritizes safeguarding this place, the experts that the Heavenly Court can mobilize will arrive subsequently, but the Heavenly Court is still in its infancy, and the number of experts is limited.”

Ao Guang sighed deeply.

Yinglong said softly: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your protection, the Dragon Clan is immensely grateful, and now we can only abandon the Dragon Ancient Realm, brother, please lead the heavily injured clansmen back to the Dragon Ancient Realm and arrange for the retreat!”

Li Ping’an reminded: “Help the Ocean Race if you can, do not give up lightly.”

“Good.”

Ao Guang said: “Let a few elders handle this matter, and Your Majesty, please also retreat to the Dragon Ancient Realm, that Calamity Venerable of the Western Sect, our clan must kill him!”

Li Ping’an glanced at the fierce battles around, then looked at Feng Qingyang, who was commanding the battle within the array, and nodded in agreement.

He turned around and retreated within the array, but Guilingling was the one who was released instead.

Guilingling did not charge recklessly, simply stood at the entrance of the array, brandishing the Great Shield of the Mystic Turtle and wielding the Slaying Immortal Sword, constantly thrusting about, providing cover for the Dragon Clan experts returning to the array.

A moment later, more than twenty war dragons returned inside the array, letting out a series of dragon roars.

Below, the Jiaolong Guards and Ocean Race experts simultaneously dived beneath the sea surface.

Not long after, pillars of water rose from the sea surface.

Li Ping’an initially thought the relocation of the entire Dragon Ancient Realm would be very arduous.

But soon, he mentally exclaimed ‘brilliant’, giving the Dragon Clan a thumbs up in praise, ‘indeed worthy of being ancient overlords.’

The underwater cities began rising from the seabed, floating amidst the seawater.

Streams of seawater surged towards the direction of the main world of the Vast Wilderness, accompanied by the roars of Jiaolong and the long cries of the Ocean Race experts, spheres of water of varying diameters encapsulated these cities, floating into the sky.

From afar, it appeared as if a colorful bubble had appeared in the Dragon Ancient Realm.

The inner gate of the Dragon Ancient Realm opened, the array mobilizing all its Spiritual Power to support the exterior, and these hundreds to thousands of water spheres floated into the void on the inside of the Heaven and Earth.

The entire process took no more than an hour.

As the water spheres departed, vast lands appeared in the Dragon Ancient Realm, fields of coral glowed with a rainbow of Spiritual Radiance.

Once the water spheres left a certain distance from the Dragon Ancient Realm, the Dragon Clan began their great retreat.

They were rather righteous, first covering the retreat of the Human Race and Witch Clan experts, then gradually shrinking the arena of Magical Combat, step by step moving closer to the array’s entrance, and then in batches and rounds, quickly burrowing into the array.

The Human Race and Witch Clan reinforcements retreated safely;

Over a hundred and twenty war dragons successfully returned;

Houtu, Lady Ba, and a dozen old dragons were fighting fiercely outside in a final stand.

Ao Guang and Yinglong simultaneously burst into dragon roars, the former transforming into a grand dragon form, withstanding the impact of dozens of Innate Gods and Demons, while the latter spewed hundreds of streams of light, clearing a large chaotic void.

Guilingling shouted softly, and the experts simultaneously dove into the array’s entrance, Ao Guang’s enormous dragon form transformed into a stream of light the size of an earthworm, and finally entered the array.

Guilingling retracted the Great Shield, and the entrances and exits of layers upon layers of arrays in the Dragon Ancient Realm closed simultaneously.

They did not linger, the dragons circled the Dragon Ancient Realm once, retrieving hidden treasures from various places, and then resolutely abandoned this realm, charging towards the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

As Li Ping’an was about to leave, he looked back at the Innate Gods and Demons about to breach the array and enter the Dragon Ancient Realm, hesitation showing in his eyes.

He was now pondering instead how to lure them into the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth…
