After the Skyfall

Chapter 989 The Power of the Emperor's Light
The True Dragon King Jin'ao had his dragon body severed after only two rounds of fighting with Li Yi, rendering him powerless to continue the battle. This scene shocked everyone.

The Heavenly Kings of the True Dragon Clan, in particular, were filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that the True Dragon King Jin'ao is the son of the Dragon Emperor, possessing extraordinary strength. Among them, he is a leader-like figure. Even if the direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family is slightly superior, their combat power should not differ by such a great margin.

"Haha, Jin'ao is really stupid to the extreme. He dares to fight Taiyi Tianwang head-on. He has a lot of guts. You stupid dragons, don't you think about why Taiyi Tianwang is qualified to wield the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon? Do you think it's because of his bloodline or status? He earned it through real battles."

At this moment, the son of the God Emperor burst into laughter. Seeing Jin Ao, who was also a son of the Heavenly Emperor, in such a miserable state, he felt that his previous loss to Li Yi had not tarnished the prestige of the son of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Golden Turtle".

Upon seeing this, the other true dragon kings quickly withdrew and went to support Jin'ao.

The True Dragon Clan has a large number of Heavenly Kings, a total of eighteen. Even though Li Yi used the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon to kill several people just now, he can still spare four Heavenly Kings.

The remaining Dragon Kings continued their battle with the God Kings of the Celestial Race, not seeking victory, but at least to hold off their opponents and avoid defeat in the short term.

The four dragon kings seemed to transform into four ropes, instantly binding Li Yi's hands and feet. With the eruption of the Heavenly King's power, Li Yi's eight-hundred-foot-tall divine body was forcibly restrained for a moment.

"Golden Turtle, hurry up!" a dragon king roared at him.

Although Jin'ao's dragon body was cut in two, as a top expert in the Heavenly King Realm, his vitality was extremely vigorous. With just a long roar, his broken body swayed in the air and quickly pieced itself back together, then healed at an astonishing speed.

However, he was injured after all. Although the wound had healed, his aura was much weaker than before, and his combat strength had declined significantly.

"Help me stall the Heavenly King Taiyi."

Knowing he no longer had the strength to fight Li Yi, he turned around and tried to take the broken Heavenly Emperor Sword and make a quick getaway.

The other dragon kings also saw through Jin'ao's intentions, and they all burned their dragon blood to enhance their combat power and fought desperately.

"Four dragon kings think they can hold me back? Today I'll send you all on your way!" Li Yi roared, countless purple lightning bolts intertwining, his whole body bathed in thunder, unleashing boundless divine power, trying to break free from his restraints.

Four enormous true dragons coiled around the eight-hundred-foot-tall divine body, their claws like barbs gripping his arms and legs tightly, simultaneously unleashing the True Dragon Binding Heaven Technique to firmly fix this giant in place.

This supernatural power is not just about binding the body; it can also bind the enemy's strength. Under normal circumstances, when a powerful member of the True Dragon Clan uses this power, the opponent will immediately become a spineless shrimp, unable to even stand up.

"Taiyi Heavenly King, you think you can break free from the restraints of us four Dragon Kings all by yourself? Don't be so naive."

"Even if you are a member of the Celestial Royal Family, the power of our True Dragon Clan's bloodline is not much weaker than yours. Now, stay here obediently."

"Let the four of us Dragon Kings join forces. After this battle, you'll have enough to boast about to the Heavenly Realm."

"If you manage to break free today, I am willing to commit suicide here."

These four dragon kings were chosen to enter the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, so their combat power must be extremely strong, let alone now that the four of them are working together.

But that’s all I have to say.

When they felt the terrifying lightning strike their dragon bodies, they also experienced excruciating pain, as if their bones were being ripped out and their scales were being smashed and scattered.

In order to restrain the opponent's divine power, the four dragon kings even felt that their dragon bones were about to be crushed and their dragon tendons were about to be broken.

If this continues, they won't last long; all four of them will die suddenly.

However, if such a terrifyingly powerful figure were allowed to join the battlefield, and given that he could wield the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon, everyone would die.

Therefore, after understanding the situation, the four dragon kings were determined to die, even if it cost them their lives, to hold off the enemy so that the golden turtle could take away the incomplete Heavenly Emperor's weapon and rescue the others.

And this decisive choice did indeed have an effect.

The two sides were locked in a struggle, and it was difficult to determine who was superior for a time. Li Yi was unable to break free from this restraint immediately.

Make the most of this short time.

Jin Ao once again obtained the incomplete Heavenly Emperor Weapon. Moreover, due to a collision with the Time Emperor Furnace, some of the Heavenly Emperor's power on this incomplete Heavenly Emperor Weapon had dissipated, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him, making it easier for him to control.

But Jin'ao, having obtained this incomplete Heavenly Emperor's weapon, hesitated for a moment.

If we retreat now, it will certainly cost us the lives of several more dragon kings.

"Kill the Heavenly King Taiyi, seize his Heavenly Emperor Weapon, and wipe out these Heavenly Gods." However, the next moment, Jin Ao gritted his teeth, and a crazy idea appeared in his mind.

He didn't plan to run away; instead, he planned to fight again.

The temptation to win was so great that it was worth Jin'ao taking another risk.

In an instant, he coiled up the broken Heavenly Emperor Sword and charged at Li Yi once more.

But at this moment.

Bathed in purple lightning, Li Yi was enraged. He did not want to be trapped by the four True Dragon Kings, and a dazzling and stunning imperial light emanated from his divine body.

As soon as this imperial light appeared, the four true dragon kings that had trapped him were instantly torn apart, their bodies shattered into countless pieces, reduced to a pile of broken bones and rotten flesh. Even their dragon souls were almost completely destroyed, leaving only a few remnants of their primordial spirits.

"Emperor, Emperor's Light."

The remnant souls of the four dragon kings were dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events, followed by a surge of fear. At the same time, they also noticed the Golden Turtle's counterattack.

"Jin'ao, run! This Taiyi Heavenly King has already condensed the Emperor's Light. You are no match for him!" The remnant soul roared repeatedly, trying to use its last bit of power to warn everyone.

"What?" Jin'ao, who had attacked again, was dumbfounded, but it was too late.

That dazzling golden light was already hurtling towards them. There was no way to avoid it.

He didn't even have time to use the incomplete Heavenly Emperor's weapon before he was struck by the Emperor's Light.

The dragon's body, which had just been repaired, was completely obliterated by the Emperor's Light, leaving no trace. Even the dragon's soul vanished without a trace, with no possibility of revival.

The power of Emperor Light is simply too heaven-defying.

Its appearance here is a devastating blow to the Heavenly King. Unless you have the Heavenly Emperor's weapon or power of the same level, you will be defeated upon meeting it.

For an instant.

The five dragon kings, including Jin'ao, were killed by Li Yi, and the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.

But the other dragon kings were also dying one after another at this time.

The Celestial Clan's combat power was too astonishing. The Dragon King of the True Dragon Clan was quickly outmatched after losing his numerical advantage. In particular, the God Emperor's son and the female Celestial King were decided within a few rounds.

They were unable to defeat their opponents quickly before because they had to face three formidable enemies.

The mournful cries of true dragons echoed throughout this secret realm, blood splattered everywhere, and almost no dragon king could escape from this battlefield.

Just for a moment.

All eighteen dragon kings of the True Dragon Clan perished here.

The commotion of the battle here also attracted the attention of other powerful races that had entered the area, and they realized that the Celestial Race was seeking revenge for the previous siege.

The Rakshasa and True Dragon races have been wiped out one after another, leaving only the Beast race, the Human race, and the Celestial race.

As for whether they will retaliate against other races' kings, nobody knows.

"Should we join forces again to annihilate the Celestial Race?" Many people had this thought.

But they gave up quickly.

The Celestial King Taiyi of the Celestial Clan wields the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon, condensing imperial light, making him invincible in battle. Now, with the addition of a broken imperial sword, it can be said that his dominance is already assured.

This time, during our trip to the Celestial Venerable's Secret Realm, we can only avoid their sharp edge. The opportunity to join forces and encircle them has been lost, and it is almost impossible to replicate the previous scene.

However, the annihilation of the True Dragon Clan served as a reminder to others.

If they are targeted, they should immediately use the power of the Heavenly Emperor to fight to the death, even if it attracts the killing intent of the Heavenly Venerable, it is better than being wiped out in the end.

However, Li Yi didn't care about what others thought at the moment.

"Clean up the battlefield, take away some useful things, don't waste them," Li Yi said, then reached out and grabbed the broken imperial sword in his hand.

Although the Time-Traveling Imperial Furnace is extraordinary, it is not an offensive Heavenly Emperor Weapon. Now, with the addition of this short sword, the situation should improve significantly.

"Leave here and go somewhere else."

After seeing that the battlefield had been cleaned up, Li Yi immediately turned around and left without lingering.

He still didn't seek out any so-called opportunity, but instead continued to search for his enemies.

This approach was a nightmare for the other Heavenly Kings who entered this place. They never expected that the Heavenly Gods were a bunch of madmen who would give up even the opportunity just to seek revenge.

Several major battles subsequently broke out.

However, without a doubt, the Celestial Race won in the end with an almost overwhelming victory, and after the victory, the opportunity that the opponent had been searching for naturally fell into their own hands.

This approach opened up new avenues of thought for the Celestials.

Why bother seeking opportunities yourself? You can just snatch opportunities from others. That's easier and less dangerous.

but.

This approach requires the team to have someone with exceptional combat power like Li Yi; otherwise, in a fight to the death, both sides would suffer heavy losses.

Time flies, and half a year has passed.

Within the Heavenly Venerable's Secret Realm, the number of battles has decreased, not only because the number of Heavenly Kings has decreased, but also because the Secret Realm is extremely vast, and the remaining people are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Even Li Yi had to stop his revenge.

"Taiyi, I have received news that someone has found a mysterious celestial stele in a place rich in chaotic energy. It seems to have come from the chaotic world and has attracted many people there. It is said that the chaotic celestial stele contains divine power and is of great benefit to the Heavenly King in breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor."

On this day, the Heavenly King of Divine Punishment received a message from the Thunder Department.

"The Chaos Heavenly Stele? It can help you break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm?" Li Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look."

Although they had been fighting and killing in the Heavenly Venerable's Secret Realm for a long time, if it really involved the opportunity to become an emperor, they certainly wouldn't want to miss it.

"Divine Punishment King, how could the Thunder Department tell you such important news?" Tomb King looked suspicious.

The Heavenly King of Divine Punishment said, "This news has caused quite a stir. Everyone who needs to know knows it. Our Heavenly God Clan has been isolated, which is why no one told us. Only a colleague from the Thunder Department was willing to reveal it, and he asked me to keep it a secret to avoid causing public outrage."
