Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 566 The Crown Prince Appears! His Power Overwhelms the Academy! The Final Showdown!
"The Holy King Party, what kind of nobodies are they? How dare they lay a hand on my people? Are they looking for death?!"

"I was away for a while, and this happened, putting these lowly guys on par with the princelings?!"

With the martial arts tournament approaching, the Crown Prince finally returned to the Heavenly Academy, and everything that had happened recently was reported to him.

"We are guilty, and we beg Your Highness to punish us!"

Dozens of people, including high-ranking members of the princeling faction and various core disciples, immediately knelt down, their faces filled with fear.

“You are indeed guilty. The dignity of my Crown Prince Party has been offended, yet you did not deal with it immediately. Even if it meant bloodshed and heavy casualties at the Heavenly Academy, we should never tolerate their existence!”

The crown prince's face was ashen, and he exuded a terrifying majesty, like an emperor reigning over the world, holding absolute power and the power of life and death.

Those princelings didn't dare to explain. Wrong is wrong, right is right. The prince will distinguish right from wrong. If anyone dares to conceal or distort the facts, not only him, but also his relatives, friends, and their families will be implicated.

This power was originally reserved for the emperor of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, but it has now fallen into the hands of the crown prince, and no one dares to resist it.

Many people say that in the future, the Crown Prince will rule the Bountiful Continent and even conquer the Western Continent, becoming the supreme emperor who truly unifies the two continents!
As for the rumors circulating in the Heavenly Academy that the Crown Prince bowed to Westerners, those are just rumors.

For now, the students of the Heavenly Academy will suffer a little. Sooner or later, the Crown Prince will rule the Western Continent, and then they will have endless good days. They will also have the merit of following the dragon, and the glory and benefits will be countless.

It's not that many students believe the princelings' rhetoric; while they fawn over those Western exchange students, they also harbor a twisted arrogance, comforting themselves with the belief that the future will definitely turn around.

As for how things will ultimately turn out, that's a matter of opinion.

However, there is an undercurrent of unrest within the Heavenly Academy. The Holy King Party, established by Li Ping'an and Yang Qi, is now the largest party after the Saints, and even has more members. It has gained the support of many miscellaneous disciples and outer academy students, and appears to be very powerful.

“A bunch of chickens and dogs, apart from the Hundred Flowers Saintess, none of them are worth paying attention to, yet you’ve been scared like this.”

The Crown Prince snorted coldly, "I'll spare you this time, but if you dare to do it again, you'll be executed without mercy!"

"Come with me to Hundred Flowers Peak now. I want to see what this Hundred Flowers Saintess is capable of, daring to protect the enemies of the Crown Prince Party."

He was referring to the princelings, not himself.

Clearly, the Crown Prince didn't take Li Ping'an and Yang Qi seriously at all.

"Saintess of a Hundred Flowers! Get out here!"

The Crown Prince acted swiftly and decisively, roaring to the sky. The terrifying sound waves reverberated throughout the entire Heavenly Academy, leaving countless students breathless and causing them to kneel on the ground.

"This is the Crown Prince?!"

"Such formidable strength, without even revealing his face, almost made me kneel down. The Holy King Party is in trouble! I must immediately inform Yang Qi that he absolutely must not return!"

Having received guidance from Yang Qi and Li Ping'an, Li He had already broken through the Life-Seizing Realm. At this moment, his body was also numb from the shock, and a sense of fear welled up in his heart.

"The Crown Prince is back!" Deep within the Heavenly Academy, the Two Ancestors of Wind and Cloud also heard the voice. Their expressions shifted, and a cold smile appeared on their faces. "Hundred Flowers Saintess, let's see how you're going to clean up this mess!"

Even if the Holy Maiden of a Hundred Flowers were to advance to the Legendary level and master Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, she would still be unable to withstand the Crown Prince's majesty.

"Offending the Crown Prince is indeed a troublesome matter." In the headquarters of the Gentlemen's Party of the Academy, Feng Junzi waved his feather fan, with a sense of confidence. "However, the Hundred Flowers Saintess is incredibly strong and talented. We still need to protect her. After all, she is the Grand Elder of the Academy. In the future, she will become the Supreme Elder, which will be a force to deal with the Crown Prince. In recent years, his power has been growing."

"However, there is no need for the Holy King Party to exist. Handing over the two leaders and killing them will help the Crown Prince vent his anger and prevent a real falling out."

The Five Thunder Party, the Supernatural Power Party, the Sword Party, and many other saints had already united to deal with the Crown Prince, but they were still overwhelmed. Feng Junzi also used every means to win over and win over everyone he could.

Of course, students at the Life-Seizing Realm are out of the question. Feng Junzi also looks down on the Holy King Party. They don't even have a single saint, yet they dare to form a party. Feng Junzi is utterly disdainful of them.

After thinking it over, Feng Junzi's figure flashed and he appeared outside Hundred Flowers Peak.

The Crown Prince had already arrived, followed by a dense crowd of his supporters, creating a powerful and imposing presence.

"Saintess of a Hundred Flowers, you killed my people and challenged my authority. Do you think that by hiding and not coming out, nothing will happen to you?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the crown prince unleashed a punch, reigning supreme over the world.

That was the Emperor's Divine Fist, the Fist of the Supreme Ruler. A golden dragon flew out and roared as it crashed into Hundred Flowers Peak, creating a thunderous roar and swirling dust.

"Let's do it!"

Many eyes were drawn to this event, from legendary elders and saints to ordinary students, and even some legendary, immortal elders who had undergone nine transformations.

After all, it hasn't happened in a long time that someone dared to kill a member of the Crown Prince's faction and provoke the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince had already rectified the situation inside and outside the Heavenly Academy. When the Crown Prince rose to power, it was a bloody and turbulent journey. Those who obeyed him prospered, and those who resisted perished. He destroyed countless families, and countless people who attached themselves to him also became kings and tyrants.

He had people among the elders and saints, and many students were promoted by him to break through to the legendary level. Instead of staying in the Heavenly Academy, they went out to make achievements and fight for the Crown Prince.

"Baihua Peak is doomed. Of all people to offend, they dared to offend the Crown Prince! Their biggest mistake was killing members of the Crown Prince's faction in public. Wasn't that a slap in the face to the Crown Prince?"

Some students sighed, saying they still had a good impression of the Holy King Party, and that Western exchange students hadn't been so arrogant lately.

Unfortunately, they couldn't deal with the crown prince.

Many people were speculating that perhaps if the prince were to deliver a single punch, everyone on the mountain would die, their blood used to defend the prince's authority.

However, when the smoke and dust cleared, Hundred Flowers Peak seemed to have been unharmed. Not a single flower or blade of grass on the peak was damaged. All that could be seen were black scriptures forming a great array that covered everything, rendering the Emperor's Divine Fist ineffective.

"How can it be!"

The princelings gasped in surprise, and the prince's face darkened.

Just then, a sound came from the mountains.

"Your Highness, your name is really strange. How can anyone call themselves that? Isn't that telling others that you want to be the Crown Prince for life?"

"This name is unlucky."

The voice was calm, but it enraged the princelings. They were furious. "A subject dies for his master's honor." They thought that if the prince was to be the prince for life, their merit in following the emperor would be for naught. Instantly, their blood boiled, their eyes turned red, and they roared to the sky.

"How dare you speak like that, insulting the Crown Prince!"

"You're finished, you're finished! Not only you, but your relatives and friends are finished too, because of you, your entire family will be implicated!"

"Who is it! Show yourself!" Hundreds of elite and core students at the Life-Seizing Realm immediately attacked, unleashing a mighty surge of energy that threatened to break through Hundred Flowers Peak.

"What if I come out?"

Three figures emerged from Hundred Flowers Peak: one man and two women. The man in the lead was none other than Li Ping'an.

He was dressed in black, but upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be countless black hellish scriptures, the very essence of Bliss and Hell, woven into a garment upon which countless demons and ghosts roared, exuding the majesty of the Lord of Hell.

"Crown Prince, keep your dogs in check!" Li Ping'an casually waved his sleeve, and all the hundreds and thousands of energy blasts emitted by the Crown Prince's faction returned, causing chaos and destruction.

"How brave!"

This blatant disrespect for the Crown Prince terrified many students, turning them pale with fright.

"You are the one that the Hundred Flowers Saintess brought back to the Heavenly Academy five years ago." The Crown Prince, however, calmed down and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. "The Hundred Flowers Saintess broke through from the Ninth Life-Taking Realm to the Fifth Transformation of the Legendary Realm in just five years. It seems that all of this is thanks to you!"

"No, he's now at the sixth level of Legendary Transformation! He's mastered the Domain!"

These words shocked the entire Heavenly Academy, including those legendary ninth-level immortals. They all stared wide-eyed, exclaiming that it was impossible and wondering what kind of opportunity had enabled them to break through so many times.

Absolutely impossible. Such an opportunity doesn't exist on the Bountiful Continent, unless it comes from another dimension.

The Crown Prince also realized this, "I can't even see through your cultivation level, it's too strange. Are you from another plane? At least not from the Bountiful or Western continents! The qigong you cultivate is not simple, it even surpasses my Emperor's Divine Fist! Is it a Saint-level or a Heaven-level qigong?"

The crown prince's eyes gleamed. "It seems I was right to come back. You can't be allowed to live. If we don't act now, it will be too late!"

"Kill you, and everything you have will be mine!"

In front of all the teachers and students of the Heavenly Academy, the Crown Prince spoke so bluntly, revealing his greed and domineering nature without any attempt to conceal it, and no one tried to stop him.

Li Ping'an shook his head. This Heavenly Academy really should be destroyed. It has no integrity or teaching spirit whatsoever.

Keeping such an academy around is nothing but a scourge, polluting the sense of justice and courage in the hearts of the people of the bountiful continent.

"If you can do it, then come on." Li Ping'an said leisurely, and instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving the location of the Heavenly Academy.

Even though he was utterly disappointed with the Heavenly Academy, Li Ping'an did not choose to start a war here. The legendary battle was earth-shattering, the world was changing color, and even tens of thousands of mountains would be sunk. These students, despite their superb qigong skills and status as elites of the Bountiful Continent, would still die.

Li Ping'an left only because he was concerned for their safety. How kind of him!
"Where do you go!"

The Crown Prince immediately launched his attack, his body soaring like a roc, his flight shaking the surrounding tens of thousands of miles. His qi permeated the mountains and rivers, dominating the world, radiating an aura of supreme nobility. No wonder some people said he was the son of the Holy Ancestor Emperor.

"Mountains and seas take form, the sky tilts with a single finger!"

Li Ping'an had been waiting outside for a long time. He stood on a mountaintop, seemingly lost in thought. When he saw the Crown Prince arrive, he pointed directly at the void, instantly shattering it. The words "mountain" and "sea" combined, causing the mountains and seas to crumble and collapse, crushing everything in their path.

He has not yet broken through to the legendary level, undergone a qualitative change in his blood essence, and condensed a true demonic body.

But the terror of that one finger was enough to make any legend tremble; they simply couldn't match it.

"You're still trying to kill me! How is that possible?! What kind of qigong could allow you to kill me, comparable to or even surpassing the legendary realm?!" The prince was shocked as he was struck by a finger pointing directly at him.

"Emperor's Divine Fist! Imperial Ambition! Dominate the World! Unrivaled in the Nine Provinces!"

The Crown Prince unleashed an unparalleled killing move in an instant. His Emperor's Divine Fist was so powerful that it dominated the heavens and the earth. His ability to dominate the Bountiful Continent for so long was no joke. His strength was indeed top-notch. Even the legendary Nine Transformations Undying Transformation cultivation level was not enough to describe him. He could already be called a half-saint!

"kill!"

The two attacks collided, shattering mountains and seas, shaking the land, and causing national tragedy.

Blood rained down in small patches in the void, as if grieving for the battle between the two. They were too brilliant, and the death of either of them would be a loss to the bountiful continent. The continent was instinctively grieving.

In this move, the two were evenly matched.

Li Ping'an's feat of leaping through ten minor realms and even one major realm to fight across realms was so shocking that it shook the heavens and the earth, leaving even the leaders of the four major academies speechless with astonishment.

"Hmph! You actually cultivated a demonic art from hell, and you have a coordinate of hellish spacetime within your body. You relied on this spacetime coordinate to accumulate power for a long time before unleashing this attack!"

The prince was thrown back by the shock, but he quickly calmed down.

Although this guy is powerful and can fight against legends, he has not yet reached the level of the ninth transformation of a legend, let alone this half-saint. Everything he has done is just a long-planned scheme, supported by the Hell Coordinates in his body.

"You won't be able to use this power for long! You'll die by my hand soon!" The prince suddenly produced a halberd and brought it down on the prince's head.

"Oh, is it so."

Li Ping'an remained calm and unmoved, his attacks unable to get close to the Crown Prince.

He even flipped his hand, causing wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning to converge, which actually shook the halberd and forced the crown prince to retreat three steps.

"How is this possible! He's actually fighting the Crown Prince!"

This scene was witnessed by the teachers and students of Tianwei Academy who rushed to the scene, and they were shocked.

"This Li Ping'an was just a minor inner court student not long ago, not even an elite, but now he's fighting the Crown Prince and is comparable to a half-saint! How is that possible! How is that possible!" Feng Junzi roared to the sky, breaking the feather fan in his hand. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Having a crown prince wasn't enough for the Heavenly Academy; now, an extraordinary figure like Li Ping'an has emerged.

Why was a prince born when a virtuous man was born?
Feng Junzi was consumed by jealousy; why wasn't this power his?
With such power, he will surely become a celestial leader, a figure like the ancient sage, and at that time he will unify the two continents of Fengrao and the West, and the world will sing his praises as a virtuous man.

"Your power won't last long! Immortal-Slaying Halberd! Wrath of Heaven!"

The prince erupted, seemingly convinced of the truth, and swung his halberd repeatedly, blasting large swathes of surrounding mountains and land into plains, which in turn became basins, forming a bottomless abyss.

"It seems you're nothing special after all." Li Ping'an shook his head, still standing calmly in place. The Wanli Mountain Range had already sunk, but wherever he was, it was a pure land.

"In that case, you might as well go die."

I originally wanted to save it for the academy assembly to put some pressure on Yang Qi, but now that I've provoked him, there's no point in keeping him here.

A large hand reached out to grab the crown prince, and Li Ping'an finally took a step.
