Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 567 "If you don't want to be the Heavenly Leader anymore, then get out!"

"The Hand of the True Demon!"

Li Ping'an's outstretched hand instantly transformed, with countless hellish demonic energies rising up and dark golden scales densely covering his palm.

This is a hand of hell, a demon's hand, the palm of a true demon!

He was both so evil and so holy. Just looking at his palm was like witnessing the history of the evolution of hell, with the oldest darkness flowing in his hand like a tranquil river.

"not good!"

The prince instantly sensed an extreme danger. He had never felt this way before, even after traversing the bountiful continent and the western continent for so long.

"The Heavenly Roc spreads its wings, the Great Sage moves at lightning speed!" He wanted to escape, so he used a Saint-level secret technique he had obtained from the Western Heavenly Roc Great Sage, which was enough to chase the wind and lightning and surpass the speed of light.

But he still couldn't escape the clutches of the true demon.

Although it was just a ritual to train a hell, it truly activated the power of Li Ping'an's True Demon Indestructible Body. He even saw the parchment scroll in the depths of hell, amidst whispers full of wisdom.

Bang!
A burst of blood mist exploded from the sky, from which half of the prince's body and the Immortal-Slaying Halberd emerged.

"what!"

The prince let out a wounded wolf-like howl, “You lowly thing, how dare you hurt me! How dare you hurt me! I will kill you, tear you to pieces, and torture you to death in the most cruel way!”

He has already cultivated to the level of a half-saint, and is about to surpass the Undying Transformation and condense a saintly mark.

Even with only half his body remaining, the prince did not die. Instead, he quickly reassembled himself, with countless particles based on the sun, moon, stars, and the celestial and terrestrial elements, recreating the universe and giving birth to flesh and blood.

"too slow!"

However, at this moment, Li Ping'an's eerie voice rang out, and the True Demon's Hand reached out to grab the Crown Prince, as if an endless hell had opened and demons had descended to earth.

This is the hand of the True Demon. Legend has it that Hell is held in the hands of the True Demon. Hell is the lowest and darkest place in the universe, but the True Demon is even deeper down in Hell, in a mysterious place unknown to anyone.

"The Immortal Slaying Secret Technique! Burning the Sacred Mark!"

The Crown Prince acted decisively, fighting desperately. He knew that if he didn't fight now, it would be too late. The strength Li Ping'an unleashed was simply beyond imagination.

The power brought by burning the Holy Mark is terrifying. Although a half-saint is still far from a great saint, he is still associated with the word "saint". The Holy Mark is the foundation for a half-saint to break through to the great saint realm. Once it disappears, the prince's attempt to break through to the great saint realm will be met with countless storms.

But it was too late at that moment.

Golden flames ignited on the Zhuxian Battle Halberd, making it incomparably sacred, holy, and majestic.

Only this power will prevent it from being extinguished the moment the true demon's hand strikes.

"The Immortal-Slaying Halberd! King of Immortal Slayers! Its might shakes the Immortal Realm! Slaughtering all gods! Grant me power!" The prince went mad, and the violent power of the Immortal-Slaying Halberd surged forth. This weapon was extraordinary; to have the name "Immortal Slayer" was a testament to its power.

The Crown Prince possesses the Immortal Slaughtering Talisman; how could the two not be related?

"useless!"

Li Ping'an's eyes were calm. He had regained his memories from the cycle of reincarnation and was recovering every day and every moment towards his past self in the ancient chaotic world, until the two were equal and the true opposition of yin and yang was achieved, and the unity of god and demon was realized.

Under this premise, no one in this world, in heaven and on earth, in the immortal realm or in hell, can stop his rise!
"Boom!"

The True Demon's Hand slammed down on the Immortal Execution Halberd, a deafening roar that tore through the sky, causing the sea of ​​clouds to churn, and even pierced through the dimensional barrier of the Abundant Continent, revealing a corner of the starry sky.

This terrifying fluctuation caused almost the entire Bountiful Continent to tremble slightly.

The great saints gazed into the distance, their eyes filled with horror.

That leader was no exception.

He had been exploring some ancient ruins, but as soon as the prince was attacked, he rushed over here. At the critical moment, he stood between the two, and a pure white light separated them.

"Stop!" The voice rang out, and the figure of the Heavenly Leader appeared.

But Li Ping'an and the Crown Prince paid no attention to him at all. They unleashed their True Demon Palm and Immortal Slaughtering Halberd without reservation. The Heavenly Leader was sandwiched between the two, exuding the aura of the Heavenly Rank!
"Li Ping'an, die!" the Crown Prince roared madly. He was deeply humiliated. He had never suffered such a serious injury since birth. He was almost, almost died!

Li Ping'an's eyes remained calm as he replied indifferently, "Is that so? Today, the only one who will die is you."

"Time stands still!"

The two attacks were terrifying, touching the realm of the Great Sage, but the Heavenly Leader remained fearless. His cultivation was that of the strongest in the two continents of the Abundant Lands and the Western Lands, surpassing all the Sages, and he had begun to comprehend the mysteries of the speed of light and the realm of time.

With a single finger, time seemed to stand still. The sky turned a deep blue, and the countless rays of light refracted through it appeared frozen in glass, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

This is the realm of the King of Light, the realm of time, the King of Light!
"You are all the most outstanding students of the Celestial Academy! If there's anything, we can sit down and talk it over!"

The Heavenly Leader deviated from their attacks and immediately broke the time freeze. He held a feather fan and a handkerchief, presenting himself as a compassionate and virtuous Confucian scholar dedicated to educating people.

"The leader! It's the leader!"

The entire faculty and students of the Celestial Academy were shaken. Students from the Qi Sect and the Life-Taking Sect trembled with excitement, feeling a sense of pride.

The leaders of the Heavenly Realm are ancient sages, appearing and disappearing like dragons, their lifespans of thousands of years are rarely seen, and they can boast about it to their descendants for a long time now.

The elders and saints who had come to watch the battle also breathed a sigh of relief, "They've finally arrived."

With the Heavenly Leader present, it seems this battle should come to an end.

This battle was terrifying; it tore the heavens apart and caused starlight to fall to earth. It was almost comparable to a legendary holy war. Without a celestial leader, it's hard to know how it would end.

"What a pity." Among them were a few who felt regret, including Feng Junzi, whose eyes were filled with jealousy. If these two had died, he could have taken their place.

What a pity, what a pity!
"He is the leader of the Heavenly Realm! Such immense power!"

Yang Qi also arrived during the battle. He led a group of students from the Holy King Party and stood beside the Hundred Flowers Saintess and Yang Susu. Now, he frowned and said, "I hope he can be fair and not favor the Crown Prince."

Otherwise, he could only try to summon the Yama Demon Emperor and have him agree to his conditions.

In fact, he had already made preparations for today. Even if he was no match for the Crown Prince, he would fight to the death. Even if he died, he would never betray his brotherhood.

The same goes for those members of the Holy King Party; they came from all corners of the world, all for the sake of righteousness.

However, the course of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations. Li Ping'an was actually able to contend with the Crown Prince, fighting to such an extent, and even nearly killing him. They had witnessed the Crown Prince's miserable state firsthand; if it weren't for the leader's intervention, his fate would have been uncertain. "The Wise Saint King?" Jun Tianchou thought of the party's nickname for Li Ping'an, his expression turning strange. It would be more accurate to call him the End Saint King; his martial prowess was simply too high.

Little did he know, in another world, Li Ping'an actually knew a Saint King of the End, so it wouldn't be easy for him to snatch that title.

"I think it's unlikely. It's not the first or second time that the Heavenly Leader has shown favoritism towards the Crown Prince, and this time will probably be no exception," said the Hundred Flowers Saintess leisurely. Otherwise, why would she give up being a good student and be promoted to elder right after graduation?

Ultimately, it's because they were disgusted by the students of the princelings, who were constantly currying favor with the powerful, bullying men and women, engaging in corruption, and looking down on others.

With no one to rely on, why bother competing for the position of saint or leader of the academy? It would be better to become a leisurely elder and live a more carefree life.

"Could the Heavenly Leader really be so shameless?! He is the first sage of the Bountiful Continent, a moral exemplar for all! Could it all be a lie?!" Yang Qi's gaze turned cold, and he began to communicate with the Yama Demon Emperor in his mind.

No matter what, no one can touch Yang Qi's brother!

If the leader of the Heavenly Throne doesn't want to continue, then he should get off the stage immediately!

“Li Ping’an, I remember you. Five years ago, I diagnosed you with a state of confusion and loss of consciousness. Now it seems that you have regained your memory, which is very good. You and the Hundred Flowers Saintess are both members of my Heavenly Academy. We are all family.”

On the other side, the leader of the Heavenly Throne who had stopped Li Ping'an and the Crown Prince spoke with a peaceful expression.

"Your Highness, I also have a daughter. The three of you are the most outstanding talents of this generation at my Heavenly Academy."

"Although I don't know why you two got into a fight, you're all from the same academy. Let's sit down and talk it over. Any conflict can be resolved."

The Heavenly Leader spoke with utmost sincerity, yet secretly unleashed a series of holy marks, painstakingly helping the Crown Prince recover from his injuries and even replenishing his burning holy marks, preventing him from falling back to the semi-saint realm.

Li Pingan watched his performance quietly, finding it amusing.

He cares so much about the Crown Prince, even at the cost of sacrificing his own holy marks and cultivation to help him. His sycophancy is unparalleled.

The Crown Prince's mother really knows how to train dogs well; even the Heavenly Emperor probably doesn't treat his own daughter this well.

Unfortunately, the crown prince did not appreciate it.

He roared madly, "Kill him, kill Li Ping'an! The Heavenly Leader killed him, how dare he hurt me? I will squeeze every drop of this little beast's blood out of him, slice every inch of his flesh, drink his blood and eat his flesh, and completely refine his soul!"

"He possesses divine-level qi cultivation! Even a heaven-level qi cultivation technique could not possibly transcend ten minor realms to injure me by a single major realm; it must be divine-level qi cultivation! Only the power of a deity could defy the heavens and seize the Dao!"

"Take him from me and let me cultivate divine-level qigong. Soon I will inherit the legacy of the Abundant Emperor, becoming invincible in heaven and earth, unifying the two continents! I can even venture into the depths of the void to find fragments of the Primordial Continent! I will revive the Primordial Continent and establish great achievements!"

"This is the glory that belongs to me, the Crown Prince!"

"Alright, shut up now." The Heavenly Leader shook his head and actually shut the Crown Prince up.

No wonder he did it. Just hearing these words sounds outrageous. How could you say them? Even if you really had such thoughts, you shouldn't have said them like that!

The Heavenly Leader sighed and looked at Li Ping'an with some apology on his face. "This Crown Prince has grown up too smoothly and hasn't experienced many setbacks, which is why he lost his composure like this. I apologize to you on his behalf, Ping'an. Let's talk about it slowly when we get back to school. This time, we must punish him properly."

"And since you have suffered such harm, you must compensate me a hundredfold. How about this, you go to my treasure vault and choose ten treasures."

"Oh, right." The Heavenly Leader patted his feather fan, "It seems you haven't advanced to Sainthood yet. It's perfect to hold your Sainthood Ceremony at the Academy Assembly, so that others will know that my Heavenly Academy has gained another genius."

“Truly, new talents emerge in every generation. Now my Heavenly Academy is going to become famous again.” He shook his head, his tone both happy and wistful. “But this is good. Although I am a Great Sage, I will eventually have to step down.”

"This academy belongs to me, and it also belongs to you. In the end, it will all be handed over to you. After I step down, it will be your turn to take over, and another thousand years will pass in the human world."

After hearing his explanation, others would probably be completely confused, or at least start to hesitate.

But Li Ping'an is clearly an exception.

"Are you done?" He spoke calmly and slowly. "If you're done, then get out of here. Considering that you did do something decent five years ago—although you were secretly spying on me, you ultimately didn't attack me—I'll let you go."

The leader of the Heavenly Positions seems to have some misunderstanding, thinking that this matter can be resolved peacefully, but Li Ping'an is not prepared to give him that opportunity.

"Hand over the crown prince, and you can continue to be the leader of the heavens. We'll keep to ourselves."

Li Pingan issued an ultimatum.

The leader of the Heavenly Rank Academy's expression froze slightly, and his face gradually turned cold. "Li Ping'an, are you really going to be so ruthless, disregarding the friendship of the Heavenly Rank Academy? Don't forget that the Hundred Flowers Saintess was also trained by our Heavenly Rank Academy."

"Are you trying to forget your roots?!"

Li Ping'an burst into laughter, laughing in exasperation, "Forgot your roots? What a fine example of forgetting your roots!"

"How dare you say such a thing? What do you have to do with the strength of me and the Hundred Flowers Saintess? Did the Heavenly Academy teach us unparalleled internal energy techniques or give us any treasures? And you accuse me of being ungrateful?"

"You, as a leader, might not even appear in the academy once in a hundred years, let alone teach students any qigong, yet you repeatedly say that education should nurture people and that one should not bully the weak because of strength!"

"You haven't done anything important, you've just been supporting the Crown Prince. I don't know where this bastard came from, but you just keep supporting him."

"His mother hasn't given you a single kind look either!"

"A sycophant and piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to be the leader of the Celestial Academy. The Celestial Academy is ruined because of you. In recent years, there have even been Western students showing off their power here. If the ancestors of the Celestial Academy saw this, they would probably want to rise from the ground and kill you a thousand times over to vent their hatred!"

Li Ping'an's sarcastic remarks were sharp and sarcastic, and his words had a chilling, almost demonic quality.

In fact, if anyone from the Heavenly Academy were to appear here with his strength, they would probably be just as fearless as the Heavenly Leader!
The reason is simple: the things the Heavenly Leader has done over the years are simply too abstract.

The crown prince was allowed to do whatever he pleased.

This is not the behavior of a qualified academy leader at all. All I can say is that he was blinded by lust. The Crown Prince's mother is too authoritative, which makes this sycophantic leader unable to forget her.

"How dare you, Li Ping'an! How can you speak to your superior like that!"

The leader let out a long howl, his entire body shimmering with light. A tremendous power erupted from his body, the aura of the Heavenly Rank Law suppressing everything and isolating the void. Clearly, he did not want Li Ping'an's words to spread outside.

Otherwise, his lifelong reputation would have been completely ruined here.

He was actually quite surprised, never expecting that Li Ping'an knew about his affair with the Crown Prince's mother.

"I won't allow you to speak ill of his mother!" The Heavenly Leader's gaze was icy. "What do you know, you brat? Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Get to the academy!" A massive, sky-covering hand stretched out.

Li Ping'an's words meant he had completely broken off relations with him, so he had no reason to hold back!
