After the Skyfall

Chapter 958 Everyone gets what they need
No wonder no other Heavenly Kings broke in during the time Li Yi was collecting treasures in the Imperial Palace. It turns out that the Divine Might Heavenly King came to his aid and, together with the Cold Mountain Heavenly King, held off ten powerful enemies.

The Celestial King's combat power is truly astonishing. He was able to withstand such an encirclement and even repel the enemy.

Although Qinglan Tianwang's escape broke the last line of defense for the other enemies, it at least proved that the other Tianwangs could not gain any advantage and could not see any chance of victory before they could escape.

If they were absolutely certain they could kill Hanshan and Shenwei, the two Heavenly Kings, they would never have escaped.

Li Yi quickly analyzed the situation outside. He was filled with emotion, never expecting that the Heavenly King of Cold Mountain would fight to such an extent, but this was also in line with the character of the Heavenly God Clan.

Once a promise is made, it will be kept even at the cost of one's life; there will be no breaking of the promise.

This is just like the warriors of the barbaric world.

Indeed, this is a characteristic that has been passed down through generations.

"King Hanshan, you should rest well. I have already taken the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon, and I have taken most of the valuable items inside. King Liyan is dead in the Imperial Palace. This matter should be over."

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Once the Divine Might Heavenly King returns, we'll leave and find a safe place to rest," Li Yi said.

Hanshan Heavenly King did not speak, but simply nodded.

at this time.

Within the shattered imperial city, several heavily wounded divine generals began to converge on this side. They had all experienced a great battle and appeared to be in very poor condition.

But Li Yi could see that his guards had been significantly reduced in number, and some of his generals had already perished in the battle.

However, this is unavoidable.

"Summon everyone else immediately, we should go." Li Yi gave the order. He saw Long Nu Yushang in the crowd. Although she was alive, she was covered in wounds, and her Heavenly General Armor was almost shattered. He didn't know how many people she had been surrounded and attacked.

But now is not the time for sadness.

He had to pack his things and leave quickly, or he would be in trouble if he encountered other enemies.

Upon hearing the order, the remaining gods immediately began to act. They started searching the ruins for their teammates, and of course, they also looted some valuable items.

A moment later, the Divine King returned.

He stood bathed in divine light, holding a sword in one hand and a blood-soaked human head in the other.

That was the head of a Heavenly King.

After chasing for a million miles, the Divine King finally managed to kill a powerful enemy.

"It's Shadow Clothes' head." Hua Qing, who was hiding, couldn't help but say when he saw the familiar head. "This guy deserves to die. I didn't expect him to betray me in the end. However, I will remember all the Heavenly Kings who participated in this battle today. I will settle accounts with them one by one in the future."

He was also filled with resentment. As long as he reached the Heavenly King Realm, he would take revenge. There was no need for him to wait until he reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

"Haha, Taiyi, you're really something. You've only been away from the Boundary Ship for a short time and you've already caused such a big incident. But don't worry, there's no one in the Heavenly Realm that our Celestial Clan can't afford to offend. It's just a pity that I'm the only one who came to support you this time. If I had known there were so many enemies, I should have invited another expert from my clan to come with me."

Despite having experienced a bloody battle, the Divine King was in a good mood.

He was so bored being stationed inside the Boundary Ship. It was a rare opportunity to fight against the kings, which was a blessing for a king of the Celestial Clan.

"Thank you for your help, Divine King." Li Yi bowed gratefully. "If the Heavenly King had not arrived in time, we would all have been in danger."

The Divine Might Heavenly King laughed and said, "Even if I didn't come, you would be fine. At worst, you can just use a portion of the Heavenly Emperor's power. Don't be stingy with it. After you've used it, go back and have the Haoguang Divine Emperor seal it away."

"It's a pity that the Heavenly God Armlet can only withstand one Heavenly Emperor's power at most. Otherwise, if I had given you a few more, this wouldn't have happened today."

"But now is not the time to talk about that. We should leave here and discuss this further when we return to the Kingdom of Gods."

Then, the Divine King realized that he could not stay there for long.

Those fleeing Heavenly Kings will surely leak the news of this place, even exaggerating it, in order to attract other powerful enemies to covet this imperial palace and bring them unnecessary trouble.

Immediately.

The Divine King looked at the imperial palace. Without the slightest hesitation, he manifested his divine body, reached out with his large hand, and used the wondrous technique of the Celestial Clan, the Star-Picking Hand.

His hands seemed to grow enormous at that moment, and he grabbed the imperial palace, hoisted it onto his back, and used his divine power to carry everyone as he strode away into the distance.

With each step, the Divine King seemed to traverse a different world, moving away from this place at an extremely fast speed.

Before Li Yi could even react, he had already hitched a ride on this train.

"Did four divine generals die in battle?"

He glanced around and saw that his guards consisted of only four people plus the Dragon Girl Yu Chang; the other four divine generals had disappeared, clearly having died in the battle.

Although their time together was short, Li Yi bears some responsibility for the deaths of these four divine generals, since they were all fighting for him.

But this is unavoidable; in battles in the celestial realm, some people will inevitably die.

The Divine Might Heavenly King used his Heavenly King power to travel extremely quickly, and in just a few hours, they arrived at the nearest World Ship docking point. At this time, a separate World Ship was already waiting there.

Many divine generals guard the vicinity of the Boundary Ship, prohibiting anyone from approaching.

"Leave this place immediately and return directly to the Heavenly Kingdom. Do not stop along the way."

The Divine King was also exhausted at this moment. He rushed into the Boundary Ship and immediately gave the order for the ship to set off.

Although everyone boarded the ship, the boundary boat started moving and began to move away from this place.

The cautious approach of the Divine King coincided with Li Yi's. Although the Celestial Clan was powerful, it was impossible to intimidate every corner of the Celestial Realm. Now that the news of the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon and the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing had spread like wildfire, it was likely to cause a lot of trouble.

They might even end up like the Heavenly Emperor.

Who knows if Hua Qing offended any other Heavenly Emperors while he was still alive? If so, there must be powerful enemies who would not want to see him reincarnate and return, and they would definitely take action to kill him in advance.

With the boundary ship successfully departing and leaving this place, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside a secret realm of the Boundary Ship.

Everyone gathered.

The Divine Might Heavenly King put down the imperial palace and said, "Taiyi, did you really obtain a Heavenly Emperor Weapon within this imperial palace?"

“Indeed, this Heavenly Emperor Weapon is called the Time Emperor Furnace. It contains Yin and Yang energies, which can refine the physical body and primordial spirit, and accelerate cultivation.” Li Yi did not hide anything and directly took out the Time Emperor Furnace.

This matter cannot be concealed, because the Azure Orchid Heavenly King has personally witnessed this Heavenly Emperor Weapon. Rather than hiding it, it is better to openly display it, after all, he still holds the Heavenly Venerable Token and a great deal of Purple Blood.

If this Heavenly Emperor Weapon exposes two other things, that would be truly terrible.

Most importantly, a Heavenly King-level expert can sense the truthfulness of a person's words. Without the protection of the Emperor's Light, it would be difficult for Li Yi to lie.

Upon hearing this, the Divine Might Heavenly King immediately laughed and said, "Good, very good. However, you must keep this news a secret. Tell everyone that you did not obtain the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon at all. You should know that the Heavenly God Clan is not completely united and there are also conflicts among them. You are a direct descendant of the Heavenly God Royal Family, but you do not have any powerful members of the same tribe to support you. If the news of the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon is exposed, I am afraid that other royal direct descendants will want to seize it."

Li Yi nodded upon hearing this, not finding the matter strange.

To put it bluntly, a mere celestial general like myself is no match for the Heavenly Emperor's weapons. Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself doesn't personally intervene to seize them, they are a fatal temptation for the Heavenly King.

"But don't worry, I will report this matter to Emperor Haoguang. If he is willing to intervene, there shouldn't be any problems," said Divine Might Heavenly King.

Although he also longed for a Heavenly Emperor Weapon, Li Yi was a direct descendant of the royal family whom he had personally discovered, and he had even asked him for help this time. Therefore, as a Heavenly King of the Celestial Clan, he would never try to snatch it from him.

"Thank you, Divine Might Heavenly King. However, I also obtained some other treasures in the Imperial Palace. I am willing to give some of them to express my gratitude for your help this time."

Li Yi also knew how to reciprocate kindness, so he immediately took out a Heavenly King-level puppet and many materials for refining Heavenly Emperor weapons.

In an instant, the secret realm was filled with precious light, spiritual energy surged, and strange phenomena occurred frequently.

"It really is a collection of the Heavenly Emperor; it's actually material for forging the Heavenly Emperor's weapon." The Divine Might Heavenly King's eyes lit up, and he was immediately filled with surprise.

It seems the value within the imperial palace is greater than imagined.

Li Yi said, "These materials for forging the Heavenly Emperor Weapon are useless to me, so I am willing to give them to Divine Might Heavenly King and Cold Mountain Heavenly King. As for those Heavenly King puppets, I don't need them for the time being, so Divine Might Heavenly King can take them if he likes them."

He decided to be straightforward and give the choice to the other party, both to repay their help and to get Shenwei Tianwang to contribute more in the future.

"These things all belong to me. You're really generous, giving them all away at once." Hua Qing felt a pang of heartache again.

Li Yi replied inwardly, "No matter how good the things are, you have to live to enjoy them. If you don't hurry up and find a backer within the Celestial Clan, who will help you when danger comes?"

"We've already obtained the most important Heavenly Venerable's Decree and the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon, and we've also taken 100,000 catties of Nine Heavens Divine Water into our possession. We should give up the rest. If we try to keep it all to ourselves, we might choke to death."

Hua Qing sighed helplessly and did not refute.

Because Li Yi was right; without sufficient strength, one simply couldn't handle so many good things.

At this moment, the Divine Might Heavenly King's eyes flickered as he looked at the many treasures and immediately said, "How about this, I will share these materials for forging the Heavenly Emperor Weapon with the Cold Mountain Heavenly King. These things are useless to you if you keep them. As for the Heavenly King puppets, I will take ten, the Cold Mountain Heavenly King will take ten, and you can take back the remaining thirty. You will soon break through to the Heavenly King Realm and will need these things to protect yourself."

"In addition, I brought the Imperial Palace with me this time. I estimate there are many treasures inside. I plan to offer it to Emperor Haoguang in exchange for an imperial decree that would allow you to possess the Heavenly Emperor Weapon, the Time-Bound Imperial Furnace. What do you think?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Divine Might Heavenly King." Li Yi had no problem with that and bowed in thanks.

The two sides reached a consensus.

However, Li Yi felt that the Divine Might Heavenly King was indeed considering his own interests, since the most important thing was the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon.

As long as this item is in Li Yi's hands, he can give away the other treasures.

"Haha, it's nothing, and I've gained quite a bit this time. Remember to call me again if something like this happens next time." The Divine Might Heavenly King was in a great mood.
