Chapter 1181: Chapter 418: Shadow of the Giant Beast

The hunting battle did not proceed smoothly.

Li Ping’an somewhat underestimated the toughness of these Innate Gods and Demons, initially believing that the experts from the Three Teachings could easily capture them, but the first batch of eight Innate Gods and Demons targeted by the Taoist Sect experts resisted for three to four days before being gradually taken down by those experts.

Even Taoist Duobao, Jinling Saint Mother, and Guang Chengzi, these powerful figures of the Taoist Sect, found their divine skills greatly reduced after entering the Chaos Sea, and the replenishment of spiritual power was much slower compared to the primary world.

The value of those innate Spiritual Treasures became vividly apparent in this battle.

The Yuan Tu Sword, in Lady Ba’s hands, displayed great power, capable of directly threatening several of the strongest Innate Gods and Demons.

Guilingling wielding the Slaying Immortal Sword, charged in and out among the endless Chaos Creatures.

This made Li Ping’an silently lament a pity.

If he had also brought the Sword of Abi;

or if the experts of the Jie Sect were controlling the entire Zhu Xian Sword Formation;

The difficulty of this battle would have greatly decreased.

In the Chaos Sea, the most diminished in magical combat strength was actually Taoist Duobao, the senior brother of the Jie Sect.

Though Duobao possessed many treasures, there were truly few that could perform excellently in the Chaos Sea.

The Preceptors of Chan Teaching performed relatively steadily.

It was just that during magical combat, Immortal Taiyi overly relied on treasures, and his Qiankun Ring, Flaming Spear, and other treasures were greatly affected in the Chaos Sea, so his skills could only be exerted at about fifty to sixty percent.

Immortal Taiyi was happy to remain low-key, staying beside Immortal Yuding, and continued to ponder how to enrage the Innate Gods and Demons.

If only the experts’ abilities were affected, Li Ping’an’s pressure wouldn’t be this great.

The trouble is, fortunes change.

The Innate Gods and Demons in the Chaos Sea were tenacious and hard to deal with.

This made Li Ping’an start to feel fortunate for having decisively acted earlier, eliminating two Great Gods and Demons who had transformed into Chaotic Dao Bodies.

In the Chaos Sea, the Innate Gods and Demons redefined the concept of injury, redefined the concept of exhaustion, and even redefined the concept of death.

One head of the Innate God and Demon was eliminated, its body dispersed, yet bizarrely reappeared not far away, roaring and rejoining the battle, even with its strength increased by thirty percent, driving Taoist Duobao to curse the mother of the Innate Gods and Demons.

Using an accurate adjective to describe this battle between the Creatures of the Primordial World and the Innate Gods and Demons, it can only be [chaotic].

Extreme chaos;

Existence forms that defy logic, hard to comprehend;

This is the essence of chaos.

The frontal battlefield was also very intense, with the Dragon, Sorcerer, and Human clans guarding around the Lingxiao Palace, finding themselves basically in a passive position.

The Lingxiao Palace represented the core order of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, continuously dividing the chaotic aura into clean and turbid parts;

Li Ping’an stood inside the palace, maintaining a cool and ‘domineering’ demeanor, seemingly intending to bring the whole Chaos Sea into order and fully solidifying it from this point onward.

The Innate Gods and Demons’ goal was to destroy this hall, eliminate this black-robed Heavenly Emperor.

The boundless Chaos Creatures, the ferocious and terrifying Innate Gods and Demons, the chaotic rules of The Great Dao…

Almost inflicted psychological shadows on Li Ping’an.

Through this battle, Li Ping’an’s Dao Heart was greatly honed.

He was responsible for central coordination, also playing the role of a flag, all the pressure of the battlefield eventually converging on him, the commander of the Creatures of the Primordial World.

Fortunately, this battle lasted only seven to eight Primordial Days before quickly coming to an end.

The reason for the ceasefire was simple.

First, the Innate Gods and Demons fled.

After the Taoist Sect experts successively dealt with the second batch of Innate Gods and Demons, along with the frontal battlefield, the number of slain Innate Gods and Demons reached over twenty, the Innate Gods and Demons sensed a life and death crisis and began to flee directly.

Secondly, merit was insufficient.

Maintaining the Lingxiao Palace without a physical form surfaced, requiring the continuous consumption of Heavenly Dao merit, and Li Ping’an’s spirit platform storage of Heavenly Dao merit was nearing depletion.

If this battle continued, the merit wages of the Heavenly Court’s employees could not be paid.

Li Ping’an could only retract the Lingxiao Palace, and store tens of thousands of immortal soldiers inside the Xuantian Tower, to slow down the consumption rate of merit.

As for how much Essential Source Object of Heaven and Earth had been added to the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth from this battle, neither Li Ping’an nor the Heavenly Dao could precisely determine.

But the main world of the Vast Wilderness and the small worlds with complete Five Elements showed significant increases in spiritual energy concentration.

It is thus inferred that the Essential Source Object of Heaven and Earth should have grown noticeably.

Outside the membrane of the Heavenly Film of the Dragon Ancient Realm.

Li Ping’an gathered all the experts, quickly held a summary meeting, and hurried to Xuan Capital City.

The small fragment of ‘heaven and earth’ transformed from the Lingxiao Palace was soon assimilated by chaotic aura and returned to chaos.

The battle outside Xuan Capital City was still ongoing, with those thirty-odd Innate Gods and Demons suddenly becoming trapped like fish in a barrel.

Li Ping’an gritted his teeth, once more raised the Lingxiao Palace, consuming the last reserve of Heavenly Dao merit in the Heavenly Court to compel the Innate Gods and Demons to linger a while longer.

Consequently, a siege formed by the experts inside and outside Xuan Capital City, leading to another battle along the edge of the Chaos Sea.

Before the battle concluded, Li Ping’an had already returned to Xuan Capital City to deploy the immortal soldiers from the Xuantian Tower into the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

The Merit Treasure Pond on his Golden Cloud at the spirit platform nearly dried up, and the two golden lotuses that had yet to bloom became wilted, threatening to die at any moment.

Fortunately, a steady stream of incense merit continued to arrive, converted by the Golden Cloud into Heavenly Dao merit, prioritized into the pond where the golden lotuses were, steadily raising the pond water level.

Li Ping’an was about to return outside the heavens when he was stopped by Feng Qingyang who followed beside him.

“Your Majesty, it’s time to let the experts from the Taoist Sect take action next.”

Feng Qingyang said with a smile:

“You have already shone too brightly in this battle; it’s better not to appear too often.”
