Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 540 Terrifying Peak Willpower! Subduing Disaster! Chaos Submits!

"Submit, or be destroyed!" Li Ping'an said, his gaze sharp and his attitude unquestionable, forcing the Calamity Heavenly Lord and the Chaos Heavenly Lord to make a choice.

"It's time to make a choice, disaster, chaos!" Chaos Heavenly Lord whispered, unleashing the power of eight eras, destroying the heavens and the earth, extinguishing the sun and moon, and causing the entire Heavenly Court to tremble in fear.

Countless immortals were in a panic, and many supreme immortal emperors looked on in disbelief with fear.

"Internal strife has truly broken out in Heaven!"

No one expected it to start so quickly, giving them no chance to react.

"Ah! Father! Save me!"

Emperor Sheng and Emperor Li knelt there, their bodies trembling. Thinking of what they had done in the past, Emperor Sheng was almost overwhelmed by fear and scared to death.

What does it mean to offend a Heavenly Emperor?

Even if he is the son of the Calamity God, he still cannot bear this responsibility. He can only hope that the Calamity God will pay a little more attention to his offspring, otherwise he will definitely die.

The Calamity Heavenly Lord remained cold and unmoved, not even glancing at the Life Emperor and the others, but instead staring at Li Ping'an and the Chaos Heavenly Lord. "You think you're the Creation Immortal King, expecting us to submit as soon as you open your mouth?"

"Chaos, this is the Heavenly Lord you serve." The Calamity Heavenly Lord seemed to be laughing.

"You're not convinced? Then die!"

Li Ping'an moved, throwing a punch without holding back.

The Heavenly Lord of Disaster was caught off guard; Li Ping'an, a person who had not yet been promoted to Heavenly Lord, dared to suddenly launch an attack against him.

Although the opponent defeated Miao Li Tianjun and was quite strong, Miao Li Tianjun was nothing special. He was a newly promoted Tianjun in this era, and an ancient Tianjun like the Calamity Tianjun was not worth mentioning.

"How brave!"

The Heavenly Lord of Disaster was enraged, and the skies above the 100,000 continents of the Heavenly Court were filled with a dark, oppressive atmosphere. Countless cultivators trembled in fear, sensing the impending calamity.

Li Ping'an completely ignored all this nonsense and unleashed a punch that incorporated 2,999 kinds of Great Dao, with the Lesser Destiny Technique as its core, encompassing everything and breaking through the barrier of the Heavenly Monarch.

This is the Fist of Destiny that he comprehended, which resonates with the true meaning of the Gate of Immortality.

With a single punch, he transcended creation and origin, as if destiny were turning, and the fate of all living beings was contained within it.

The slightest movement could cause the heavens and the earth to collapse.

Even the Heavenly Lord of Disasters dared not underestimate it. With a shake of his large palm, an overwhelming aura of disaster spread out, and sounds of calamity echoed in the void. Calamity was imminent, and the five signs of decay were about to appear.

These countless calamities transformed into his fingers; the five fingers in his palm commanded all the world's disasters, and with one strike, there was no escape, no avoidance.

But Li Ping'an stood still, his expression unchanged, just like the unchanging Heavenly Way.

Only a voice from the void could be heard.

"The power of destiny surpasses everything and creates everything. Destiny brings disasters and inescapable calamities to the world. Only when destiny cycles can calamities be born. Without destiny, there are no calamities for all beings!"

Rumble!
The Fist of Destiny and the Hand of Disaster collided instantly.

In that endless multiverse, destiny and disaster appear simultaneously, intertwined with each other, transforming into history, into a long river, eternally existing, the struggle continues, it seems that even if the heavens collapse, this war will still continue eternally until the end of the future.

"How can it be!"

Upon their first exchange, the Calamity Lord was utterly shocked; compared to the opponent's courage, this strength was far more terrifying.

This Fist of Destiny gave him the feeling of truly facing the source of destiny, his origins from thousands of lifetimes ago, as if his fate was in the other's control.

This power is far beyond what ordinary Heavenly Lords can compare to, and the other party has not yet survived the Heavenly Lord Tribulation to advance to their level.

At this moment, the Calamity Heavenly Lord seemed to understand why, after the chaos, the Eternal Heavenly Lord and the Slaughter Heavenly Lord had also changed their minds. The person before him was not the Creation Immortal King, but was destined to surpass the Creation Immortal King!
"The Phoenix Cauldron, granting immortality through rebirth, defying chaos, and the divine creation technique!"

Li Ping'an acted decisively, sending out the Phoenix Cauldron. Within the furnace, a chaotic force capable of creating heaven and earth was brewing—the prototype of the Creation Divine Pill. The Phoenix Cauldron was an unparalleled cauldron, used by the Creation Immortal Phoenix at its peak to refine the Creation Divine Pill.

Now that it has been upgraded to a sacred-grade immortal artifact, the Danhuang Cauldron has finally shown its power, aiming to refine the Heavenly Lord into the cauldron, reverse the chaos, and forge creation.

Li Ping'an, who was already incredibly powerful, launched an even more astonishing attack, closing in on Gu Laotianjun.

The Chaos Heavenly Lord wanted to make a move.

"Chaos, you'd better just watch quietly. I don't want to send you on your way prematurely!" The voice of the Chaos Lord rang out, and the heavens and earth transformed into an incomparably deep chaotic staircase, with eternal chaos dominating everything around it.

Chaos Heavenly Lord was immediately on high alert. Chaos Heavenly Lord's cultivation was that of the former head of the five Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Court, and his strength was terrifying.

"Hmph, I also have a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact!"

The Calamity Lord sneered, "The Great Dao of Calamity, the Blade of Redemption!"

The white horn atop his head emitted a beam of redemptive light—the blade of redemption. Redemption descended amidst disaster; only in calamity could the preciousness of redemption be revealed.

Only when redemption exists will disaster not be meaningless.

The Blade of Redemption, forged by the Calamity Heavenly Lord, is arguably the most perfect sacred artifact to match his Great Dao of Calamity. The combination of the two is far more powerful than the two Heavenly Lords combined.

Miao Li Tianjun, a newly promoted Heavenly Lord, appears far too weak in the face of such an ancient Heavenly Lord giant; he is no match for him at all.

"Even if you are favored by the Chaos Heavenly Lord, protected by the End Saint King, and wield the power of destiny, and may even become a Celestial King in the future, the Heavenly Lord's might is still not something you can offend!" the Calamity Heavenly Lord coldly shouted.

The blade of redemption unleashed countless streaks of light, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, transforming disaster into salvation and forming a vast and magnificent ancient history of civilization.

This is the manifestation of the Great Dao of the Heavenly Ruler, symbolizing the convergence of all calamities and salvation in the world. As long as calamities persist and salvation endures, the Heavenly Ruler of Calamities will be an immortal and indestructible being.

The Phoenix Cauldron emitted cracking sounds as countless crystal kingdoms shattered and endured the trials of disaster. Yet, the chaotic radiance within the cauldron remained unshaken, growing ever brighter.

Li Ping'an transformed the power of the disaster into a material for alchemy, and through endless refinement, turned it into nourishment for the Creation Elixir.

The Heavenly Sovereign is free from tribulation, as are the Saintly Grades. The same applies to the brewing of the Creation Divine Pill. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth can no longer test it; only the power of the Heavenly Sovereign can be transformed into firewood to forge the divine pill for him.

"So-called disasters cannot escape fate, nor can they escape the five primordial elements, the space between existence and non-existence!"

"Do you think I don't know your true nature? All of this is part of my plan. The so-called disaster is nothing more than nourishment for me, a way to forge my divine elixir and temper my will."

With a wave of his hand, Li Ping'an summoned the Gate of Infinity, which was accompanied by an endless surge of primordial power.

Even though the Lingbao incarnation was separated from the vast ocean of nothingness, the power of the Lord of the Origin World still shone brightly and merged into his body. Similarly, countless wondrous objects of the Chaos Origin and the corpses of world-class Chaos Origin beings fell into the treasure cauldron.

Li Ping'an had been preparing for this moment for a long time. He merged his body with the Danhuang Treasure Cauldron and used his will as a divine pill of creation to refine it.

With the external power of disaster and the tempering of the blade of redemption, and with the endless primordial power igniting within, the fragments of the God King instantly melted away without a trace, and Li Ping'an's will reached its peak at this moment!

The pinnacle of terrifying willpower! The realm of an immortal god!

This is a spiritual will that could never appear in the mortal realm of the Holy King Great World. It is even stronger than the will of some Heavenly Lords. Once you reach this level, you can compress divine power and condense a divine spark.

Through the trials of endless calamities, Li Ping'an's will emerged with overwhelming force, shocking heaven and earth with its brilliance, like the sun descending from the heavens.

"How can it be!"

The Calamity Lord never expected that his attack would actually help Li Ping'an break through. He sensed the Gate of Infinity from afar, and a terrifying power lurked behind that gate. The Calamity Lord couldn't help but wonder if the source of the opponent's power came from behind the gate, and that this was the secret behind the opponent's ability to contend with the Heavenly Lord.

No one answered his question.

That boundless light of will evaporated everything, making everything around it blurry and dreamlike, born and destroyed in the process.

Everything will be broken and rebuilt, and placed under Li Ping'an's control.

"Ah!" Shenghuang, Lihuang, and the others screamed as the light of will swept over them, twisting and changing their life forms, falling to the lowest point, turning into maggots that fell to the ground and crawled in the gutter.

"you!"

The God of Disasters was momentarily distracted and saw his son turned into maggots on the ground, which enraged him.

Even if he doesn't value his own son, having gone through five great annihilations of chaos and countless children, that's no reason to belittle him to his face.

"Enough! Disaster!"

"Your mind has been clouded by the aura of calamity; do you intend to remain stubbornly deluded?"

"Li Ping'an has already settled the karmic debt and forgiven you by belittling your offspring. If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for not showing any mercy and taking action against you as well!"

At that moment, a sound came from infinitely high up.

He is the Eternal Heavenly Lord!
He was surrounded by layers of dazzling halos, symbolizing the eternal and unchanging true self, standing in infinite light, with a sense of eternal existence. Even if all the heavens were destroyed, he would still be untouched by cause and effect, without any flaw or stain.

“That’s right. Li Ping’an is favored by the Gate of Immortality and is a key figure who will determine the future. Disaster and Chaos, you two need to think carefully. Do you really want to be his enemy?”

"Or are you saying you believed Fang Han's nonsense!"

On the other side, boundless killing power rose up, like a bright red splash on white paper, as vibrant as life itself.

The Slaughtering Heavenly Lord also descended, his temperament serene and clear, his face like that of an old Buddha, kind and benevolent. He did not seem to possess the murderous aura that his name, Slaughtering Heavenly Lord, should imply, but it was precisely because of this that he appeared terrifying.

He has integrated killing into every move he makes. Would you feel any difference when you eat or drink normally? Obviously not.

This invisible influence, on the contrary, demonstrates the absolute control that the Slaughtering Heavenly Lord has over slaughter.

Slaughtering Heavenly Lord nodded slightly to Li Ping'an with a smile, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for taking care of my disciple."

He was referring to Shi Yan, the protagonist of the God of Slaughter world. This disciple was very much in line with the nature of the Slaughtering Heavenly Lord. He taught him the true meaning of the Great Dao of Slaughter in the lower realm and had bloodshed several great worlds.

Of course, the Slaughtering Heavenly Lord was unrestrained, indifferent to good and evil, and in a merciless slaughter. But Shi Yan was not like that. As the protagonist, he still had a trace of compassion in his heart, but he would only bleed the heinous creatures that had corrupted the entire world.

Chaos, eternity, slaughter, catastrophe, chaos!
At this moment, the five Heavenly Kings of the former Heavenly Court descended together, creating a truly magnificent scene.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Lord of Disasters also stopped in his tracks.

The two Heavenly Lords who were once closely allied with him now stood behind Li Ping'an without reservation.

"The Thunder Emperor has escaped. The two of us just went to capture him, but unfortunately someone in the shadows stopped us," Eternal Heavenly Lord explained.

They had made an agreement with the Chaotic Heavenly Lord long ago. Since they had chosen to stand on the side of Li Ping'an and Fang Han, they naturally had no intention of holding back. However, the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord was not stupid. Sensing the commotion, he reacted quickly and immediately fled the Heavenly Court.

"It's alright, he can't escape."

"With the Heavenly Court in our hands, he has lost his backer and is now a stray dog. He still wants to rely on Fang Han to turn things around? How laughable!" Li Ping'an sneered, his gaze like lightning, as if piercing through the void and seeing the back of the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord.

"Hahaha, well said! You're nothing but a stray dog!" The Eternal Heavenly Lord laughed, showing no sympathy for his former colleague.

Those who can become Heavenly Lords are all ruthless. Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord's cultivation is not bad, far surpassing Miao Li Heavenly Lord. He has refined a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact and even has the momentum to catch up with Eternity and kill the top five Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Court.

Unfortunately, he made the wrong choice and was directly driven out of the Heavenly Court by the Eternal Heavenly Lord and the Killing Heavenly Lord, and fled in a sorry state.

"He was smart enough to escape beforehand."

Chaos Heavenly Lord's expression was icy. This newly promoted Heavenly Lord of this era dared to disrespect him. If someone hadn't secretly stopped him, he would have already taken off the other's head and used it as a lamp.

Do you really think he's a great philanthropist who has cultivated himself for so long?

The title "Chaos Celestial Lord" already reveals the foundation of his power. Every move he makes is a source of chaos. He once overturned the celestial realm. If it weren't for the unparalleled Creation Immortal King, he might not have submitted.

He was also the first to rebel against the Heavenly Court after the disappearance of the Creation Immortal King and his group of Immortal Kings, which shows his unruly personality.

With his cultivation spanning eight eras, he was a dominant figure among the Heavenly Lords of the Celestial Realm, with few who could rival him.

His gaze swept toward the Chaos Heavenly Lord.

"In that case, I am willing to submit."

Chaos Heavenly Lord took a deep breath and spoke, having made his choice. Within the Heavenly Court, he also intended to start anew, creating the Chaos Paradise lineage. His ambition was self-evident.

But now there is no other choice; even leaving might not be easy.

Eternity and slaughter are his old friends. With such obvious warnings from the two, if he doesn't know what's good for him, he might really lose his life today.

He had no intention of sacrificing himself for the sake of the Creation Immortal King's great cause.

Moreover, the Creation Immortal King has probably abandoned them long ago. The Black and White Envoys and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden are the people the Creation Immortal King truly trusts, and under his tutelage, they have reached cultivation levels of more than ten eras.

Their rule over the Heavenly Court by the Five Heavenly Kings is merely a facade.

Only the Calamity Lord remains.

Li Ping'an looked at the other party, and the four Heavenly Lords looked at him in unison, radiating terrifying pressure.

The Heavenly Lord of Disasters remained silent, his high and mighty head finally bowing. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Even though he was a Heavenly Emperor, and even though his descendants met tragic ends, as a Heavenly Emperor who had experienced five great annihilations of chaos, he still knew what to do now.

"Good good!"

Li Ping'an laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied with taking over the Creation Heavenly Court without bloodshed.

"Since you have submitted, I will bestow upon you a great fortune! The Mark of the Gods!"

The golden light of the gods' marks descended, radiating the profound mysteries of the gods' true essence, including the mysteries of the gods of calamity and chaos.

It was not enslavement but a gift. Li Ping'an's heart was not so narrow that he could not tolerate people with other intentions. If the Calamity Heavenly Lord and the Chaos Heavenly Lord dared to rebel, they would naturally regret it in the future.

"Thank you, sir!"

The Heavenly Lord of Disaster and the Heavenly Lord of Chaos were overjoyed to receive the divine seals and teachings from the gods.

Eternity, Slaughter, Chaos—Li Ping'an was not stingy in sharing the brilliance of the Gods' Marks.

The so-called Heavenly Lord is an immortal deity. Ordinary Heavenly Lords correspond to the three realms of upper, middle and lower gods, while ancient Heavenly Lords who have lived for more than ten eras correspond to perfect gods and great perfect gods!
Among the marks of the gods are many such thrones of gods. Although they are not the marks held by the original ruler, they are only for reference and are of great benefit to them.
