Chapter 1182: Chapter 418: Shadow of the Behemoth_2

Li Ping’an thought for a moment and smiled: “The Dragon Clan’s many experts are currently engaged in a fierce battle here. Eastern King, take your celestial soldiers back to the outskirts of the Ancient Dragon Realm to support the Dragon Clan and Ocean Race.”

“Yes,” Feng Qingyang hesitated to speak further.

Li Ping’an conveyed: “I wish to subdue the Dragon Clan, but they still harbor ambitions for dominance. This matter requires a mixture of reward and intimidation, and we must also liberate the Ocean Race from the Dragon Clan’s control to strengthen the Heavenly Court’s authority and weaken the Dragon Clan’s power. Eastern King, help me devise some concrete strategies.”

Feng Qingyang bowed to accept the command and winked lightly at Li Ping’an.

He complimented via voice transmission: “Your Majesty is increasingly resembling a Heavenly Emperor.”

“It’s fine,” Li Ping’an stretched lazily, “being a Heavenly Emperor is the same as being a Human Emperor, knowing how to use people wisely, without having to do everything personally.”

Feng Qingyang’s mouth twitched slightly.

He seemed to recall various scenes of being commanded by Xuanyuan Huangdi in a past life.

Thus, Feng Qingyang hurriedly led the celestial soldiers away from Xuan Capital City, heading towards the direction of the Ancient Dragon Realm, traveling along the inner side of the sky’s membrane to assist those ‘great water spheres.’

Li Ping’an finally relaxed and stood alone on the city wall, gazing into the distance at the great battle in the Chaos Sea.

His mission had already been over-fulfilled.

There had been numerous perilous moments before, such as when the Chaos Creatures’ army was only a few hundred feet away from Lingxiao Palace, and it was only with the desperate counter-attack of the Heavenly Fury Guards and Human Race experts that the gap was sealed.

Lingxiao Palace was both a banner and a bait.

With nothing else to do, Li Ping’an took out a Jade Talisman and began recording the magical combat capabilities of the main experts from the Three Teachings, pondering how to orchestrate the Dao Immortal Tribulation, also known as the Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm.

A powerful Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, with a chance to survive the ultimate calamity, must meet three basic conditions.

The first is a sufficient abundance of living beings’ strength, which requires the aid of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.

The second is the essential source objects of Heaven and Earth, which must be sufficient to support the transformation of Heaven and Earth and have a clear evolution direction.

The third is the Heavenly Court’s ability to unify these living forces, with centralized power to create a mighty divine dynasty, quickly consolidating all the power of the Desolate Era.

The Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm is the only path to achieve the third condition.

Compared to the Daoist experts’ death and dissipation, with their residual souls entering the Heavenly Court, Li Ping’an prefers to let these experts ‘wholeheartedly’ enter the Heavenly Court, surrendering their Great Dao, improving the completeness of the Heavenly Dao while maintaining a high level of living beings’ combat power.

Li Ping’an vaguely feels that whether enough experts can be preserved in the Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm to a certain extent determines whether this world can smoothly pass through the ultimate calamity.

He sighed lightly and continued observing the battle outside.

Incidentally, before Li Ping’an and his team arrived, Kong Xuan was already engaged in battle with the Innate Gods and Demons here.

Surrounded by Five-Colored Divine Light, his power not only did not decline but increased in the Chaos Sea, overwhelming several Innate Gods and Demons and their progeny, like a rainbow darting through the Chaos Sea.

Standing in the Chaos Sea, Kong Xuan possessed the strength to challenge experts below the possession threshold of a Holy Master.

Li Ping’an made a slight comparison, and it seemed that only the Great Mage wielding the Tai Chi Diagram, Duobao with the ‘Rodent’s Treasury,’ and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole holding the Jade Ruyi could firmly suppress Kong Xuan with his Five-Colored Divine Light accompaniment.

Zhao Gongming possessing the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, Jinling Saint Mother with her Body of Battle Gold, Guang Chengzi with the Heaven-Overturning Seal, and Yunxiao Fairy wielding the Primordial Gold Dou could match Kong Xuan.

Li Ping’an suddenly had a question.

Kong Xuan is the voice of the Phoenix Clan, the eldest son of the Primordial Phoenix, ranking among the top great powers in the Desolate Era with his Five-Colored Divine Light;

So, what about the Dragon Clan?

Doesn’t the Dragon Clan have corresponding significant treasures?

Although Yinglong, the second strongest of the Dragon Clan, is mighty, he does not have any significant treasures, relying solely on his vast mana and extremely strong dragon body to confront the Innate Gods and Demons head-on, and he can fully suppress one or two Innate Gods and Demons.

In theory, if the Dragon Clan had formidable Innate Spiritual Treasures, they should have used them in the first half of the battle in the Ancient Dragon Realm.

After all, the Dragon Clan had lost more than twenty aged dragons, most of their battle dragons were severely injured, and they lost the Ancient Dragon Realm that they had managed for ages…

The more Li Ping’an pondered, the more puzzled he became.

He decided to inquire about it with Yinglong later. How could the once mighty ancient overlord not have a few significant treasures to guard?

Unless…

There were some mysterious calculations behind this…

“Your Majesty!”

Nearby, the voice of the elder Tianli called out.

The Eastern Alliance Hierarch, who had previously been wounded and retreated from the frontline, arrived at Li Ping’an’s side with a solemn expression and cupped his hands, saying:

“You shouldn’t be too close to this side, in case the Innate Gods and Demons recklessly rush over, it would be somewhat dangerous.”

Li Ping’an smiled and said, “It’s alright… how are your injuries, senior?”

“Minor injuries,” elder Tianli smiled pale-faced, “with some recuperation, I can recover. This battle is indeed peculiar, a hundred times more perilous than battling those Demon Kings. The divine skills and powers of these Innate Gods and Demons are strange and unpredictable, and if you’re not careful, you could truly be devoured by them.”

“Indeed, we still know too little about the Innate Gods and Demons.”

Li Ping’an leaned against the parapet, his gaze slightly thoughtful.

He said, “However, the rewards this time are quite significant. As long as we can retain half of the remaining dozen Innate Gods and Demons, we would have vanquished forty great demons in this Innate Gods and Demons turmoil, and the essential source objects of Heaven and Earth would be significantly replenished, extending the lifespan of Heaven and Earth for a considerable time.”

Elder Tianli nodded with a smile, standing slightly behind Li Ping’an, gazing at the fierce battle in the Chaos Sea.

After a little while, Tianli suddenly conveyed: “Your Majesty, don’t you think the strength of the Three Teachings of the Daoist Sect is extraordinarily overwhelming?

“Only a small portion of the Intercepting Sect Immortals has come.”

Li Ping’an turned to glance at this somewhat muddle-headed elder. According to the Li family’s generations, this was also his maternal grandfather.
