Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 539 Disaster Relief, Chaotic Paradise! Forcing the Heavenly Emperor!

"Fang Han, his plan will not succeed!"

"The Origin Dynasty, the Holy Land of Truth—since we've made our choice, we must pay the price." Li Ping'an stood with his hands behind his back, his attitude calm and composed, exuding an air of complete control, like a Celestial King.

In the past, the Celestial King sat high in the Heavenly Realm, overlooking all the heavens and myriad worlds; this must have been the case.

"well said!"

Chaos Heavenly Lord wholeheartedly agreed, his tone filled with amazement, "I sense the overwhelming power emanating from you. It seems you are outside the gates of immortality, having attained unimaginable power and great achievements."

"Although you are not yet a Heavenly Emperor and have not yet passed the Heavenly Emperor Tribulation, it is probably not far off. Once you pass it, you will be like a dragon entering the sea, beyond comprehension."

"Even now, I'm afraid there aren't many Heavenly Monarchs who could defeat you!"

In the eyes of the Chaotic Heavenly Lord, Li Ping'an had truly become a force to be reckoned with, exuding overwhelming majesty. It seemed as if layers of golden fortune were burning above his head, like an imperial canopy, even more prosperous than the Heavenly Lord, displaying an invincible aura and power.

His eyes revealed a dignified divine will, as if he looked down upon all living beings, controlled the universe, and commanded the sun and moon, wanting the heavens to submit to him.

"Fellow Daoist Chaos is too kind."

Li Ping'an smiled slightly, his words sharp and shrewd, "Since you have already contacted the Eternal Heavenly Lord and the Slaughter Heavenly Lord, then go to the Heavenly Court and make the Calamity Heavenly Lord and the Chaos Heavenly Lord correct their attitudes."

"I still have a score to settle with the God of Disasters, and I hope he hasn't forgotten it."

What account?

Chaos Heavenly Lord raised an eyebrow, wondering if he was referring to the Living Emperor.

If an ancient celestial ruler were implicated and killed because of something concerning his offspring, he would probably cry out for injustice even if his soul were scattered.

"They have no choice but to agree!"

Li Ping'an's gaze sharpened, as if a heavenly blade had pierced through, shattering the void.

To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability. This Heavenly Court of Creation has many ties with him; if they do not submit, then let them be utterly destroyed.

"it is good!"

"I know where the God of Calamity is!"

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me!" Chaos Heavenly Lord acted swiftly and decisively. Although he felt some pity for Calamity Heavenly Lord, Fang Han was involved, and all personal relationships had to be put aside.

Moreover, back then, the Four Heavenly Kings besieged him and forced him to retreat from the Heavenly Court. It would be a lie to say that the Chaotic Heavenly King was not unhappy.

The Eternal Heavenly Lord and the Slaughter Heavenly Lord have changed their stances, making it difficult to take action. The Calamity Heavenly Lord, however, has no way to save his life, and there are also many rifts between the Life Emperor and Li Ping'an, Fang Han, and others.

With a single step, the Heavenly Emperor can conquer ten thousand continents!

With the Chaotic Heavenly Lord leading the way, and the Heavenly Court spanning the ten thousand continents, countless arrays of laws and principles were laid out, forming a net that was completely undetected, essentially breaking through from within.

Deep within the vast continents, the Heavenly Court of Creation reigns supreme in the sky. Boundless sacred spiritual energy pours down from the heavens, connecting to the Central Continent and the Divine Continent, each brimming with immortal energy. Those born and raised here naturally become Great Luo Golden Immortals, a feat that would be enough to make them kings and overlords.

This is simply the land where they naturally grew up.

"What a magnificent Heavenly Court!"

Li Ping'an's eyes flashed like lightning, and his terrifying will swept across the area, revealing all the secrets of the Heavenly Court. The ancient celestial veins, rooted in the heavens, released a barely perceptible aura of immortality, which was beneficial to the Heavenly Emperor.

The first to ninth tiers of Primordial Spiritual Veins are King-level and Saint-level, with the Heavenly Vein being the final tier!

The Heavenly Vein, the vein of heaven, is equivalent to the Heavenly Lord or Supreme Being among the spiritual veins. The primordial immortal energy it contains can support cultivators in breaking through to the Heavenly Lord level, and it is a symbol of a great power in the heavenly realm.

Without a celestial vein, it's like a farmer without land; there's no way to cultivate crops.

"These are not all the remnants of the Heavenly Court. When the Creation Immortal King disappeared, he left behind a secret weapon: in addition to us five Heavenly Lords, there were also the Black and White Envoys and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. They were all peerless powerhouses among the Heavenly Lords, but they disappeared long ago and are no longer in the Heavenly Realm."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Chaos Heavenly Lord's eyes. "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have had to leave Heavenly Court and go to the mortal realm."

The three Celestial Kings of the Celestial Realm are Creation, Truth, and Origin. Among them, Creation is the most powerful, as are the forces under his command. The Black and White Envoys and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden are all ancient Celestial Lords with more than ten eras of cultivation, and their strength is extraordinary, second only to the Kings.

Looking at the gods alone, the strongest, the End Saint King, only had ten eras of cultivation. He received the teachings from Li Ping'an, comprehended some of the marks of the gods, and the secrets of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force before breaking through twelve eras. The Creation Immortal King had three such figures under his command.

Even in the realm above the realm, this level is still a dominant force.

"The Black and White Envoys, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden..." As soon as Chaos Heavenly Lord spoke, Li Ping'an seemed to sense something.

The wheel of fate spun in his hands, and the shadow of a terrifying and supreme world loomed in the distance. One after another, supreme celestial rulers lay dormant, giants were like clouds, and overlords were like rain. But then the scene shattered. His power failed, and he could not continue to deduce the truth.

'It seems it's time for the wheel of fortune to be reshaped.'

Li Ping'an understood that his strength had improved too quickly. Although the Wheel of Destiny was formed by combining the Lesser Destiny Technique and the Wheel of Destiny secret technique from the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, its foundation was somewhat weak.

Although the divine essence in the Panlong world is sturdy, it can only be used for those below ten stars. After fusing with the main divine essence, the supreme divine essence, and countless rare artifacts of destiny, it is still sufficient to deal with Supreme Immortals and Immortal Emperors. However, it cannot keep up with the hardware when dealing with Heavenly Monarchs or even ancient Heavenly Monarchs of more than ten eras.

'In the past, I comprehended the true meaning of destiny and was favored by fate, which is why I have this innate magical treasure.' Li Ping'an thought to himself, "Now I have realized my own Great Dao. Destiny is no longer the core of cultivation. I must take the lead and reshape my destiny."

The Wheel of Destiny can be sublimated and merged with the Great Destiny Technique, and even the Void Qi of Destiny, to create the number one magic weapon for measuring destiny, the supreme artifact.

But those are other people's things. At Li Ping'an's level, what's better for him is what suits him better than what's powerful.

Heavenly Court, Imperial Palace!

This is the residence of the Son of the Calamity Heavenly Lord, who in the past refined the Boundless Great World into an incarnation and descended to the mortal realm to attack the Xuanhuang Great World. Countless immortal cultivators come and go.

The gatekeepers at the entrance are both powerful Ancestral Immortals, beings who are called Ancestors in other continents, but here they are just gatekeepers.

Unless they are disciples of the Divine Prison nurtured by the Thunder Emperor, peerless geniuses, the immortals of the Imperial Palace wouldn't even bother to glance at a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Countless ascendants from the Xuanhuang Great World have appeared in the Northern Wilderness Continent, starting a war and invading other continents!"

"Among them, there are hundreds of Supreme Immortals, countless Saint Immortals and Primordial Immortals, and even the weakest have the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The battlefield is in ruins, and our side has suffered repeated defeats."

"Why hasn't the Heavenly Court issued an order to eliminate them yet!"

In the study, several figures gathered, the one in the lead being the Emperor Sheng. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger. What was going on with the Heavenly Court?

They're practically being beaten to their doorstep, and they still haven't reacted.

The thought that the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Great World were so powerful, and that the Xuanhuang Lord whom he had offended had sent word that he seemed to have a record of attacking the Barbarian Heavenly Lord, made Emperor Sheng almost want to jump up and kill people!
The Heavenly Court is doomed sooner or later; it's still fighting for power internally.

“Brother, there is no need to panic.” A supreme immortal emperor, who was also the son of the Calamity Heavenly Lord, smiled slightly. “What are a hundred or so supreme immortals? There are tens of thousands of us brothers and compatriots, and every one of us is a supreme immortal. You are not far from the Heavenly Lord, but it is just a minor ailment.”

"In this great war of ten thousand states, in order to cultivate prodigies, Father and the others will surely bestow the remains of the Heavenly Lord. What strength do those prodigies have? They have no need for such precious things. They should just give them to us. We can take a small share, and you and I brothers will have achieved our goal and will be close to breaking through to the Heavenly Lord realm." "As for the Xuanhuang Great World, hehe."

The supreme immortal emperor seemed to look down on it, saying in a contemptuous tone, "It's just a dilapidated little world. Now it has risen again by chance. Instead of accumulating strength in the lower realm, it dares to come to the heavenly realm."

"Any one of the Heavenly Emperors could wipe them all out with a single move. They're just kept alive to train the troops below."

The Emperor Li laughed heartily, “That’s right, that’s right, Emperor Sheng, you’re just too cowardly.”

"The Lord of Xuanhuang suppresses the barbarian Heavenly Lord? Hahaha, how is that possible? A guy from the stinking ditch of the lower realm wants to become an unparalleled Heavenly Lord? He doesn't have that destiny!"

The words of his brothers and the Li Emperor softened the expression on Sheng Emperor's face considerably. "That's right, I misunderstood."

The Heavenly Court is as stable as Mount Tai, and so are the sons of the Heavenly Emperor.

“However, we still need to consult Father! Fang Han contacted me years ago, but now we don’t know what he’s plotting. We need to keep an eye on him.” Emperor Sheng said, standing with his brothers and sisters.

Together they prayed to the image of the Calamity God riding a black tiger with white horns above their heads, burning incense and offering sacrifices.

"Ugh."

A sigh seemed to come from the void.

"Father." The children of the Calamity Heavenly Lord, including the Emperor of Life and the Emperor of Wrath, were overjoyed. They looked at the Calamity Heavenly Lord holding the holy artifact of redemption in the painting. It was not easy to contact the Heavenly Lord. Even their biological father might have to pray many times before he would respond.

It's surprising that we've received a response so quickly.

But what surprised them was that the Calamity God in the painting didn't look at them at all, but gazed into the void, seemingly looking somewhere else.

"Why doesn't the God of Disasters appear?"

"Do you look down on me?"

At that moment, a detached voice echoed from the void.

"Who is it?!" Emperor Sheng and Emperor Li's expressions changed drastically as they looked to the side.

But they could neither see nor hear anything, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

A footstep approached, getting closer and closer.

In the sky!
The Emperor trembled as he looked up at the sky. The entire world seemed to have turned upside down. The boundless void of the Heavenly Court was trampled underfoot like sand. Inside the Heavenly Court, countless powerful figures gathered, yet they showed no reaction to the outside world.

Only when the owner of that voice spoke did they realize that the other party was there.

"what!"

What level of immense power is this, surpassing even the great Dao of Heaven and Earth?

Emperor Sheng, Emperor Li, and the others knelt on the ground in agony, blood flowing from their ears and their eyes blinded, unable to hear or see! Divine might was like a prison, divine might was like the sea!

They were too close!
"Why make things difficult for these juniors, Lord of Xuanhuang!"

Within the painting, the Calamity Lord came to life, his black tiger mount stepping out of the painting. Countless calamities were born in the void, boundless and endless, as if the Calamity Lord had been reborn.

And in that disaster, a radiant light shone, far removed from the mortal world.

That's a sacred-grade immortal artifact, the Blade of Redemption!
Taking charge of redemption amidst disaster!

He is the Calamity Heavenly Lord, an ancient Heavenly Lord who survived five great annihilations of chaos, and one of the five great rulers of the Heavenly Court.

Li Ping'an and the Chaotic Heavenly Lord also appeared, standing amidst the chaos, their heads reaching the heavens, reigning supreme over the celestial realm. Their vast and mighty aura was undisguised, impacting the Heavenly Court.
"The Heaven of the Primordial Masters of Chaos and Enlightenment!"

At the same moment, a great light shone brightly above the Heavenly Court. Amidst the chaos and dust covering all the heavens, only Heaven endured, and the supreme ruler remained. The Chaos Heavenly Lord also descended.

The Heavenly Lords are of an astonishing size. If fate is a long river in which all living beings reside, then they are above it, like a savage giant. With a stomp of their feet, they can turn the river of fate upside down, and with every move, they can cause raging waves that drown countless lives.

Without any deliberate concealment, the two Heavenly Lords naturally arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Chaos, it seems the appointed time has not yet arrived." The voice of the Chaos Heavenly Lord came from Heaven, and various strange phenomena manifested outwards, all of them holy and radiant.

The so-called agreement naturally refers to the Great War of the Ten Thousand Provinces' Prodigies. The Calamity Heavenly Lord and the Chaos Heavenly Lord wavered in their attitudes, neither rejecting the idea of ​​Eternity and the killing of the two, nor agreeing to let the Chaos Heavenly Lord take over directly. Thus, this matter came about.

If someone from their faction wins the championship, they will welcome the Chaos Lord to take over; if someone else wins, then the matter will be put on hold for the time being.

Of course, both sides knew that this was just a delaying tactic.

Behind the scenes, Fang Han is playing a game with them, with Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord stepping forward, while Calamity Heavenly Lord and Chaos Heavenly Lord remain noncommittal.

Chaos Heavenly Lord chuckled, "This is not a matter for me to decide."

"Enough with the nonsense, Calamity and Chaos! I'll only ask you one question: Do you two submit?" Li Ping'an stepped forward, exuding unparalleled majesty. With a cold snort, Chaos shattered, and all the heavenly phenomena were evaporated by an even more magnificent light.

In that distant heaven, the supreme ruler, the marks of the gods appeared behind him, and countless deities submitted and worshipped.

Faced with this extraordinary phenomenon, Chaos Paradise seemed utterly insignificant, a mere imitation.

A flicker of emotion crossed the Chaos Heavenly Lord's eyes. "What is this? The Heavenly Path?"

No, even higher!

That profound realm of thought almost completely transcends his chaotic paradise, residing in a higher dimension, perfect and flawless, and the principles it contains are immeasurable.

Just by exchanging glances, Chaos Heavenly Lord felt as if he could see the path ahead: how to break through and enter ten eras, how to achieve the supreme position of Immortal King, or even higher levels—all of this was contained within it.

Mark of the Gods!

The name flashed through the mind of the Chaos Heavenly Lord. It was the supreme artifact that appeared briefly during the great calamity of the gods, and even caused the Heavenly Consort Wumo to suffer a tragic end after trying to steal it.

Now the Chaos Heavenly Lord understands why Heavenly Consort Umo is so persistent, but no one told him that this thing involves a realm above the Immortal King!

Any other Heavenly Lord, upon learning the truth about the Marks of the Gods, would probably spare no effort to obtain them.

Unfortunately, it seems no one can gain any advantage from this Lord of Xuanhuang now; his power is firmly established. Chaos Heavenly Lord's eyes held a hint of regret.

The Calamity Lord also felt a tightness in his chest. The so-called calamity redemption was nothing more than one of the ways of the gods, evolved from the marks of the gods.

In the ancient divine realm, the gods played this role.

With disaster in his left hand and salvation in his right, he commands the world's admiration.
