After the Skyfall

Chapter 990 Chaos Heavenly Stele
Within the Heavenly Venerable's Secret Realm.

In a place permeated with chaotic energy, even Heavenly Kings would stop, for that chaotic energy could dissolve all things, and any Heavenly King weapon in their hands would lose its spirituality upon touching it. If it were to be eroded by the chaotic energy for too long, it would immediately turn into dust.

If even the Heavenly King's soldiers are like this, how much more so the Heavenly King himself?

At this moment, at least a hundred Heavenly Kings from various races gathered outside the Chaos Qi, pondering how to cross this area shrouded in chaos and reach the vicinity of that Heavenly Stele.

Some Heavenly Kings sat down directly, attempting to break through the barrier of the chaotic energy and guide the power of the Heavenly Stele. Although most of the guided power dissipated, a small amount was still absorbed by themselves.

The Heavenly King, whose power had not increased for many years after obtaining the power of the Heavenly Stele, suddenly saw his power increase.

It was this discovery that excited and thrilled everyone.

Some speculate that if one could obtain that Heavenly Stele, one might be able to use its power to become the Heavenly Emperor.

It is said that there is an opportunity to become an emperor in the Chaos Secret Realm, and now it seems that this is indeed true.

But just as everyone was pondering a solution.

In the distance, ten giants, each hundreds of feet tall, radiating starlight, strode rapidly toward this place. In just a few steps, they seemed to traverse an entire starry sky and arrive outside this chaotic aura.

The many Heavenly Kings of the "Celestial Clan" all looked over, their expressions not good.

During the time they entered the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm, the strength and domineering nature of the Celestial God Clan became widely known. They killed anyone they saw, regardless of anything else, and would directly smash down a Time Emperor Furnace.

When the Yin and Yang energies clash, the Heavenly King will either perish or suffer severe damage.

Then they swarmed forward again, and countless people died at their hands.

However, some people believe that the five powerful clans were unethical, as they intended to surround and kill the Celestial Clan from the beginning. No wonder the Celestial Clan is now launching a fierce counterattack. Moreover, the Celestial Clan was surrounded and wiped out after entering the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm last time.

Now that we have the chance to avenge our previous defeat, we certainly won't let it slip by.

Li Yi appeared with the Heavenly Kings and indeed saw a huge stone tablet standing deep in the chaotic energy. The stone tablet seemed to be made of chaotic stone, but it was imbued with a strange power.

This power belongs neither to the power of creation nor to the power of the Heavenly Emperor; it seems to have never appeared in the Heavenly Realm.

Li Yi then glanced around again before fixing his gaze on a group of human kings in the distance.

Leading the group was Dao Yan Tian Wang. He sensed something and his eyelids twitched. He looked in Li Yi's direction and saw that Li Yi was holding up an ancient imperial furnace.

"Taiyi Heavenly King, are you going to make a move here?" Daoyan Heavenly King hurriedly shouted.

Li Yi said coldly, "You were among the five powerful clans that surrounded and killed us before. It's time to settle this score."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Kings behind him were ready to make their move.

They were just waiting for the Imperial Furnace of Time to smash into them, and when the other party was in a hurry to react, they would not hesitate to beat the drowning person to a pulp. This was how they had done it before, and this routine had never failed them.

"Taiyi Heavenly King, I've heard that you also have human blood. Do you intend to turn against your own kind?" Daoyan Heavenly King shouted again, then frantically transmitted his voice to the other Heavenly Kings.

Hopefully they can unite and annihilate the Celestials.

But no one responded at that moment.

Because if we fight the Celestial Clan now, it would be equivalent to losing the qualification to compete for the Chaos Heavenly Stele. Moreover, given that the other side has the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon, can we really win by joining forces?
"When you surrounded and killed me before, you didn't think of our kinship at all. You are a born evil bastard. Today, I will send you on your way." Li Yi's killing intent erupted, and he threw out the Time Emperor Furnace in his hand.

Seeing the enormous imperial furnace, which resembled a world unto itself, rushing towards him with terrifying Yin and Yang energies, Dao Yan Heavenly King was immediately terrified.

"escape."

With a long howl, he disregarded the opportunity to seize this place and led the Heavenly Kings to flee as quickly as possible.

However, Li Yi set his sights on him, and with a broken imperial sword in his hand, he slashed out, as if transforming into a silver river, sweeping across the starry sky before him.

In the blink of an eye, Dao Yan Tian Wang was struck by this sword light and instantly dissolved without any chance to resist.

"Don't chase after them, it'll be a waste of time."

After killing the leader of the opposing force, Li Yi did not pursue and kill the remaining Heavenly Kings who had fled. Instead, he stopped the other Heavenly Kings from taking action.

He then retrieved the Imperial Furnace and glanced at the others: "Anyone who still wants to surround and kill my Celestial Clan will suffer the consequences. If you are not satisfied with what happened today, you are welcome to fight. I am ready to accompany you at any time."

The remaining Heavenly Kings were all taken aback.

This Taiyi Heavenly King is far too powerful. He wields the Time Emperor Furnace and the Heavenly Emperor's Broken Sword, making his combat strength terrifying. Unless the Heavenly Emperor's power is used, no one can subdue him.

However, using the power of the Heavenly Emperor would attract the killing intent of the Heavenly Venerable. At that time, he might end up like the Rakshasa people, failing to kill and instead being slaughtered by the killing intent of the Heavenly Venerable.

Fortunately, after killing Dao Yantianwang and driving away the rest of the people, Li Yi did not make any further moves. This was because he had already defeated the True Dragon Clan, Rakshasa Clan, and Beast Clan. Now that the Human Clan had fled, only the Celestial Clan had not appeared.

"The Chaos Heavenly Stele, do you have any ideas?" Li Yi then looked at the others.

The Divine Emperor's son said, "I can use the Emperor's Light to protect myself, but my Emperor's Light is weak. I should not use it lightly unless I am in a life-or-death situation, otherwise it will affect my foundation. Perhaps I can try using the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon."

"Taiyi, would it be feasible to use that broken Emperor Sword to carve out a path?" Tomb King also offered his opinion.

The female Heavenly King said, "Use the Emperor's Sword to clear the way, and the Emperor's Furnace of Time to protect yourself. If that doesn't work, use the Emperor's Light to shield yourself. Perhaps then you can force your way through."

Everyone offered their opinions and, based on the current situation, came up with a generally feasible method.

Li Yi nodded slightly as he looked at the chaotic energy before him.

He was quite familiar with this thing.

When he first entered the Heavenly Realm, he was swallowed by a being suspected to be at the Heavenly Venerable level. He entered a chaotic space and was digested by the Crimson Lotus.

Meanwhile, the Rakshasa King, who entered with him, watched helplessly as he dissolved before his very eyes.

But the chaotic energy before them seemed even denser than what they had encountered before.

Its terrifying power is self-evident.

"I am protected by the Twenty-Fourth Grade Purple Lotus, and even the chaotic energy cannot erode me. If I don't seize this opportunity to try my luck, wouldn't this trip to the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm be a complete waste?"

Li Yi thought to himself, and then quickly made up his mind.

He said, "I've decided to take the risk. You all need to be prepared, and also be wary of others interfering." "If anyone else makes a move, I will use the Emperor's Light to unleash a powerful attack and force them back," the female Heavenly King said without hesitation.

The son of the God Emperor nodded in agreement.

The other Heavenly Kings were also eager to try and were ready to fight back.

Li Yi said no more. He looked at the distant chaotic sea, immediately poured his magic power into it, and swung the broken Heavenly Emperor's hilt to unleash a sword light.

In an instant, a terrifying sword light tore open the sea of ​​chaos, revealing a passage.

"go!"

With a shout, Li Yi immediately took the Heavenly God Step and rushed into that chaotic space.

"The Celestial Clan has made a move! Damn it, he used the broken Emperor Sword to cleave through the chaotic energy!" The Celestial Kings of the other races panicked upon seeing this.

They weren't so lucky as to obtain a fragmented imperial weapon in the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm, which is why they were blocked by the chaotic energy before them.

Although they might manage to push their way through for a while, they will inevitably be swallowed up in the end.

A special method is required.

Otherwise, one can only linger outside, licking the power emanating from the Chaos Heavenly Stele.

"Perhaps we can borrow their passage." Some Heavenly Kings even considered following the Celestial Clan across the Chaos Sea together.

But just as they appeared at the gap created by the Emperor's Sword, seven or eight divine powers from the Celestial Race blasted towards them, forcefully sending them flying.

"Dare to take another step, and I will wage war against you within the Chaos Realm!" the Divine Emperor's son roared, his body beginning to faintly radiate imperial light, displaying a powerful demeanor that intimidated the assembled heroes.

"He also wants to gather the Emperor's Light?"

Many Heavenly Kings were terrified and stopped outside, daring not to go any further.

If this son of the God Emperor also possesses the Emperor's Light and can withstand the erosion of the chaotic energy and fight them, then they are doomed and will not even have a chance to escape.

now.

The sixteen Heavenly Kings of the Thunder Department remained remarkably calm and did not covet the path pioneered by the Celestial Race.

The leader, Fire Element Heavenly King, said in a deep voice, "We cannot let the Heavenly God Clan get there first. I have decided to take a risk and use a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to split open the Chaos Qi. Then you will all rush in with them. If we are lucky, we can cross this Chaos Sea and reach the vicinity of the Chaos Heavenly Stele. If we are unlucky, we will perish in the Chaos Sea."

He was clearly getting anxious and was planning to take a risky gamble.

The reason it wasn't used before was because no one had ever crossed the Chaos Sea, so we could slowly come up with a foolproof plan.

But not now.

If you go too late, there probably won't be anything left.

"Alright, it's worth the gamble for the chance to become an emperor." Many Heavenly Kings from the Thunder Department steeled their hearts and decided to go all out.

If they didn't have the determination to risk their lives to become emperors, they wouldn't have come to this Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm.

After all, everyone knows that the Heavenly Venerable's Secret Realm is fraught with danger and death is very easy, but even so, it did not stop many Heavenly Kings from going there.

Just as Raibu made his decision.

Suddenly, a loud cry echoed.

But then a giant phoenix took flight, transforming into a streak of light and plunging into the chaotic sea.

That was a Phoenix King of the Phoenix Clan, with extraordinary combat power, yet now it was willing to try, despite being eroded by the chaotic energy.

To everyone's astonishment, the Phoenix King withered away deep within the chaos, its physical body eroded and its bones nearly vanishing.

But then, another phoenix cry rang out from within its body.

A new Phoenix King burst forth, carrying with it a wisp of the former's primordial spirit, and continued to traverse the Chaos Sea.

"The other side is trying to cross the chaotic energy in a relay to reach the other side." Some people were shocked when they saw this.

The powerful members of the Phoenix Clan are truly fearless, willingly sacrificing themselves to pave the way for their fellow clansmen.

"No, the Phoenix Clan knows the art of Nirvana. As long as they leave the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm, they can be reborn and return to their peak as long as they retain a wisp of their primordial spirit."

Soon, someone realized it.

The Phoenix Clan isn't going to their deaths; it's a clever and opportunistic approach.

Although there will be significant losses, it is better than having Emperor Cheng's opportunity snatched away by others.

If one could sacrifice the Nirvana of several Heavenly Kings to seize the opportunity to become an Emperor, then it would be worth it.

Boom!

At this moment, Fire King of the Thunder Department could not wait any longer. A bolt of divine lightning from the Nine Heavens appeared, instantly splitting open the sea of ​​chaos and forcibly creating a path.

More than ten Thunder Gods transformed into lightning and vanished from their original positions in an instant.

They joined forces and fought without hesitation.

Without the indomitable spirit to forge ahead, how can one become the Heavenly Emperor?

This level of attainment cannot be achieved through seclusion alone.

The Celestial Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Thunder Clan have all crossed the Chaos Sea, which has made the remaining people even more anxious. They no longer care about hiding their trump cards and have started using them one after another.

Thus, the fourth and fifth powerful cultivators successively began to rush into the Chaos Sea.

But whether they can successfully reach the other side is uncertain.
