Chapter 950: The Kings Flee for Their Lives

With the fall of the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Li Yan and the flight of the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Qing Lan, the Imperial Palace was temporarily safe. Li Yi, of course, would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; seizing this window of time, he began to frantically collect all sorts of treasures within the palace.

He started with the most valuable ones.

Li Yi first rushed to a planet and found a pool of Nine Heavens Divine Water, a full 100,000 catties. It was the accumulation of Hua Qing's many years as the Heavenly Emperor, and his capital for a future comeback.

Afterward, he followed the Starry Path to another planet.

On this planet stood tall statues, their appearances strange and varied, seemingly representing the various races of the Heavenly Realm. According to Hua Qing, these were Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level puppets, refined from the remains of Heavenly Kings. Their combat power was formidable; once activated, they could unleash the strength of a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang.

However, they had a drawback: they required the power of a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang to control. A Heavenly General like Li Yi could not operate them. It was precisely for this reason that Hua Qing had not let Li Yi seek out these puppets immediately; in the hands of an enemy, they would pose a massive threat.

There were no few Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level puppets—fifty in total. Li Yi packed them all away.

Next, Li Yi headed to the next location, where the materials for refining Heavenly Emperor weapons were stored. This was also the result of Hua Qing's many years of collection while alive. He had originally intended to refine a Heavenly Emperor Armor, but unfortunately, he had perished before he could gather all the materials.

"Take them, take them all." Li Yi stripped the place bare.

Watching Li Yi inherit his belongings so thoroughly, Hua Qing felt a pain in his heart so sharp he could barely breathe. He had been a Heavenly Emperor for a lifetime and hadn't even enjoyed these things, yet now they were all benefiting Li Yi.

Most frustratingly, Hua Qing still had to personally lead the way for Li Yi, fearing he wouldn't scavenge thoroughly enough.

Because after this trip, he estimated he wouldn't return here for a long time. If he didn't clean the place out, it would only benefit others in the end.

"Forget it, forget it, this is all fate." Hua Qing sighed deeply in his heart, feeling as though he had let go of everything; there was nothing left to be attached to.

Next, he should consider the matter of reincarnation and recultivation.

As long as he escaped this place, he would need to restore his strength in the shortest time possible; relying on Li Yi forever was not a solution.

And just as Li Yi was enjoying the Imperial Palace all to himself.

Outside the Imperial Palace.

The fierce battle at the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang level had almost destroyed the entire Imperial City. Countless Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals had perished under the ripples of the Heavenly Kings' power, and no one knew how many buildings had been razed.

But in a life-and-death struggle between Heavenly Kings, who would care about such things?

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan and the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei had now manifested their 300-zhang true forms. Holding their Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang weapons, they fought side by side, unleashing their divine power as if it were worthless. Especially the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan—because she had been injured earlier, in order to face five opponents alone and slay powerful enemies, she did not hesitate to burn her divine blood, exchanging it for peak combat power far exceeding her usual state.

With the two kings of the Celestial God race fighting for their lives, the ten Heavenly Kings surrounding them not only failed to gain an advantage but were instead crippled by the pair. After suffering such a disaster, those four did not dare to linger; dragging their broken bodies, they fled the Imperial City directly, abandoning the struggle for the Imperial Palace.

The remaining six were each injured, but they were unwilling to give up, hoping to wear down the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan. As long as one of the opponents died, there would still be a chance to win this great battle.

"That female Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang won't last much longer. Even if she is of the Celestial God race, she cannot withstand such reckless, frantic expenditure of divine power. Moreover, she cannot burn her bloodline at every moment." The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Ying Yi was covered in blood, staring fixedly at the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan.

The opponent's resilience was simply terrifying.

Ten people had fought a grueling battle, collapsing the entire Imperial City, yet they still hadn't managed to take her down. Instead, four of their own had been crippled, and to this day, the opponent still possessed combat power. This was simply horrifying.

"Damn it, what exactly is going on with Li Yan? Did he kill the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing? Or has he already succeeded and is currently looting treasures inside?"

"Although that female Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang won't last much longer, we won't last much longer either. The opponent's combat power is too terrifying; even one against five, they can still hold a slight upper hand. It is fortunate that we all have Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang weapons; if we were empty-handed, we would have truly been slaughtered by the two of them."

Facing Heavenly Kings from the top races of the Heavenly Realm, Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang weapons truly narrowed the gap between them.

Perhaps they couldn't win, but with the protection of their armor and weapons, they wouldn't be easily defeated. Furthermore, dragging it out over a long period was advantageous to them.

After all, no matter how strong you are, you are still one person, and your magic power will eventually be exhausted. Even if you can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover, the speed of that recovery cannot exceed their combined efforts.

And in this remote backwater, the reason they were able to obtain Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang weapons was, of course, thanks to the Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing. The legacy he left behind was too astonishing, and it was precisely because they had tasted the sweetness that they pinned such high hopes on the final Imperial Palace.

"Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan, don't push yourself too hard. That Tai Yi should be fine; he hasn't used the power of the Heavenly Emperor yet, which shows that the situation inside the Imperial Palace is relatively optimistic."

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei's sword was stained with blood, and his body was covered in wounds, but he remained confident and composed, fearing no enemy before him.

Such combat and slaughter made him revel in the experience.

However, as a member of the same race, the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei was still concerned about the state of the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan. After all, she had taken on an important guard mission; if something happened to Tai Yi, she would be in trouble.

It was precisely because of this pressure that the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan had chosen to burn her divine blood and fight for her life.

But the price was that her combat power would decline afterward, her potential would regress, and if she continued to squander it recklessly, it was even possible for her to drop a realm.

"I can't worry about that much. I won't reach the Heavenly Emperor realm in this lifetime anyway, so burning some divine blood is nothing." The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan replied calmly, not stingy with her own foundation.

"Since that's the case, then let's crush them in one go." Shen Wei finished, and charged out once more. His terrifying divine body struck horizontally, and the cold light of his Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang sword instantly obscured the heavens and earth.

He once again displayed peak combat power, wishing to crush the remaining few at the fastest speed possible.

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan also had her divine blood boiling. Carrying her giant axe, she once again deployed a grand formation, coordinating with the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei to charge out together.

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Ying Yi, the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Man Shi, and the other four Heavenly Kings did not retreat even half a step. They also chose to fight to the death; unless they were severely wounded and unable to fight, they would absolutely not retreat a single step.

Because their pressure was no less than the opponent's.

If they couldn't win today, then when the Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing returned in the future to settle accounts, they would likewise be unable to escape death. Rather than sit and wait for death, it was better to make a desperate gamble now.

As long as they won, everything would be fine.

But just as both sides were locked in a life-and-death struggle again, a figure rushed out from the Imperial Palace and headed toward the distance at extreme speed, choosing to flee without the slightest hesitation.

"It's the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Qing Lan. Wait, she ran away?"

Upon noticing this information, everyone was horrified, because this meant that the situation inside the Imperial Palace might not be going so smoothly; it might be extremely dire.

Because the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Li Yan had not appeared.

If the two of them had fled together just now, it would mean they had succeeded, but it was only one person.

For a moment.

Various conjectures and speculations surged through the minds of the Heavenly Kings.

But no matter which guess it was, it made people feel that the situation was beginning to turn dire. Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing had already finished off the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Li Yan; after all, he was a reincarnated Heavenly Emperor, so it wouldn't be strange for him to have some hidden cards.

In an instant.

Their fighting spirit instantly disintegrated.

And in a life-and-death struggle, daring to be distracted was simply a death blow.

In just a flash.

Two Heavenly Kings were caught in their vulnerability and suffered a fatal blow, sustaining heavy injuries on the spot, nearly dying. Afterward, dragging their wounded and dying bodies, they fled toward a direction without looking back.

Two more fled.

How could the remaining four face the two rampaging Heavenly Kings of the Celestial God race?

"The situation is lost." The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Man Shi was covered in blood. Having lost an arm, he couldn't help but grin and let out a miserable cry at this sight.

This time, they had chosen wrong again.

The Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing was, after all, a Heavenly Emperor; even if he was reincarnated and recultivating, he was not someone they could provoke.

"Flee!"

The remaining few no longer had the heart to fight. This was already a doomed situation; the return of the Heavenly Emperor Hua Qing was a foregone conclusion. They had tried, but they couldn't stop it.

As for whether they would be settled with later, they couldn't worry about that much anymore. If they didn't leave now, they wouldn't be able to leave at all.

Watching the few scatter in a panic.

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei was furious. He had fought for a long time, and although he had severely wounded several people, he hadn't killed a single one. How could he endure this? He immediately raised his Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang sword and chased after the injured Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Ying Yi.

Before, when there were many people, he couldn't find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the severely wounded, but one-on-one, that might not be the case.

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan, seeing this, did not go to chase anyone. She was already injured, and her divine blood could not continue to burn, otherwise, she would truly drop from the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang realm.

Seeing the crisis resolved, she immediately retracted her divine body and then rested immediately, hurrying to recover from her injuries.

"I didn't expect it to be Tai Yi's side that changed the situation." The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan felt moved inwardly, not expecting that she had actually been saved by Tai Yi.

If it hadn't been for the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Qing Lan fleeing and shaking their morale, if they had truly fought to the end, she would likely have perished.

Of course.

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei should have been able to crush them; after all, he hadn't burned his divine blood yet and still had the capital to fight.

"However, if I can help Tai Yi obtain the Heavenly Emperor weapon, it would be worth it." The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan thought to herself.

She didn't feel that her sacrifice was wrong; she was only reflecting that her combat power wasn't strong enough. If she had been stronger, reaching the level of the Celestial God royal family, perhaps she wouldn't have been so passive today.

With the flight of the Heavenly Kings, this fierce battle ended in this manner.

After another moment.

Another figure flew out from the Imperial Palace.

Li Yi appeared. He hadn't spent a long time collecting treasures inside; rather, after taking most of them, he hurried out to check the situation.

Everywhere he looked, it was a scene of devastation. The Imperial City was shattered, its prosperity gone, and everything had vanished, leaving only this Imperial Palace intact.

"They actually fought this fiercely?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately saw the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan not far away.

She was covered in blood, her armor was dented, and her aura had declined severely; it was clear she had experienced an unimaginably cruel battle. Fortunately, however, she had survived and was not dead.

"Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang, are you alright? How did it come to this? Where are those people?" Li Yi was astonished and hurriedly flew over to ask about the situation.

The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Han Shan, seeing Li Yi return safely, finally let out a sigh of relief and then said: "I only suffered some injuries; it's nothing serious. The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of Shen Wei arrived in time to support us, and the two of us held them off. In the end, they had no heart to fight and fled for their lives." ===== CHAPTER 951 =====
