Chapter 978: Chi Tongling

A few days after Li Yi entered the Imperial Palace, one or two more strange Heavenly Kings were invited in. Counting himself, there were ten people in total.

Afterward, the gates of the Imperial Palace closed.

This meant that the three Divine Emperors had only summoned ten Heavenly Kings this time.

And these ten Heavenly Kings were undoubtedly powerful Heavenly Kings carefully selected from within the Heavenly God Clan. The reason Li Yi wasn't selected was because his strength had already been displayed on the Heavenly God Platform, winning everyone's trust, and he belonged to the existence directly named by the three Divine Emperors.

"Ten people? It seems our Heavenly God Clan has a few people in this Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm," Dragon God Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang said in a low voice.

Divine Emperor Son opened his mouth: "That's because in the last Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, the powerhouses of our Heavenly God Clan were surrounded and killed by the enemy, almost wiped out. So, given that our skills were inferior to others, the quota for this Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm was reduced. I heard that the True Dragon Clan has eighteen quotas. How many quotas does the Lei Bu have?"

"The Lei Bu has sixteen quotas," Divine Punishment Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang said, lowering his head slightly.

"Even the Luo Sha Clan has twelve quotas. So this time, we must wash away our shame; otherwise, we will be ridiculed by other powerful clans in the Heavenly Realm," Tomb Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang said seriously.

"We, the Heavenly God Clan, are naturally powerful, and plus the number of our clansmen is small, which is why we are targeted by all powerful clans. If it's one-on-one, in the entire Heavenly Realm, who dares to say they can win against our Heavenly God Clan?" Divine Emperor Son gave a heavy snort: "This time, if I join forces with Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Tai Yi, no matter how many enemies come, they will all have to die."

The expressions of the others became strange.

Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Tai Yi's strength didn't need to join forces to wipe out the heroes.

That was an existence that had already condensed Emperor Light, plus a Heavenly Emperor weapon. As long as a Heavenly Emperor didn't make a move, entering the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm was an invincible existence.

The three Divine Emperors named him together; this weight was not light.

Li Yi remained silent and didn't participate in the discussion.

For others, this kind of thing was an honor, but for him, it was trouble. He was a relatively low-key person and had been wanting to develop secretly since entering the Heavenly Realm.

It was just that things went against his wishes. He was first targeted by the Luo Sha Clan, then joined the Heavenly God Clan. He thought he could rely on a big tree to cultivate low-key, but because of the Hua Qing matter, he was dragged into the Heavenly Emperor weapon matter, and finally, to keep the Heavenly Emperor weapon, he had to forcibly break through to become a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang, suppressing the heroes...

He waited in the Imperial Palace for a full half-month.

This day—

—three brilliant Emperor Lights shone from the Imperial Palace. Suppressing Mountain Divine Emperor, Nine Heavens Divine Emperor, and Vast Light Divine Emperor—these three Divine Emperors manifested at this moment.

"This is the three strands of Divine Emperor power left behind by the three of us. Because there is a change in the chaotic world, the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm has opened in advance. Our true bodies have already headed to the chaotic world. Today, we are sending you ten people to the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm. Whether you can grasp the opportunity depends on you," Nine Heavens Divine Emperor said immediately.

Suppressing Mountain Divine Emperor said: "Powerful people of all clans have laid out their plans. Be careful. After entering the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, take Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Tai Yi as the leader in everything; don't act recklessly."

"Remember, you cannot use Heavenly Emperor power in the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm; otherwise, you will attract the killing intent of the Heavenly Venerable, which will have endless troubles."

Hearing this, Li Yi was enlightened.

No wonder the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm was left for Heavenly Kings to explore; it turned out there was the killing intent of the Heavenly Venerable, which was why the Divine Emperors went to the chaotic world to venture.

"Tai Yi, look at your performance this time. After entering the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, competing for opportunities is a small matter, but wiping out other powerful enemies is a big matter. Don't let the majesty of our Heavenly God Clan fall," Vast Light Divine Emperor exhorted earnestly.

"Obey the Imperial Order." Li Yi stood up and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.

So it turned out they wanted him to go and kill people.

Although this was something he was good at, if he really pushed people to the edge, others would definitely use Heavenly Emperor power to perish together with him.

Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"No time to delay, set off now. Our three strands of Divine Emperor power will escort you to the Ninth Heaven," Suppressing Mountain Divine Emperor said.

It seemed really urgent.

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the three Divine Emperors disappeared, replaced by three strands of Divine Emperor power that directly enveloped the ten people, turned into a divine light that opened heaven and earth, tore open the Seventh Heaven, and headed straight for the Ninth Heaven.

Li Yi didn't even have the opportunity to shirk.

This was completely out of his control.

However, Li Yi had also anticipated this situation. He didn't complain and quickly adjusted his state, preparing to deal with the situation that followed.

Soon—

—the group, under the envelopment of the Divine Emperor power, rushed from the Seventh Heaven directly into the Ninth Heaven.

In the Ninth Heaven, heaven and earth were not yet divided, as if the primordial chaos had just opened. Under the intersection of yin and yang, wind, water, and fire were re-enacted, sometimes worlds reappeared, sometimes chaos evolved.

In this kind of environment, cultivators couldn't live here at all, so no powerful clans lived in the Ninth Heaven; there were only cultivators who came to seek opportunities.

But without Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang power, wanting to walk in the Ninth Heaven was full of dangers.

Even they didn't dare to be careless.

Because in the history of all clans, there were records of Heavenly Kings being struck to death by a chaotic divine thunder and blown to death by chaotic gales.

Only Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses could travel unimpeded in the Ninth Heaven.

The Divine Emperor power didn't dissipate here, but continued to envelop the ten people and rushed into the place where chaos had just opened.

It was strange to say.

When the group passed through a dangerous area, the view suddenly opened up, and they directly entered a boundless chaotic starry sky. Here, it seemed to be filled with a great power.

This power fixed the wind, water, and fire, stabilized the yin and yang qi, and allowed this place to rest for the time being.

Afterward, the Divine Emperor power began to dissipate, and the group was revealed.

"Wait here; the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm will open in a few days." After Vast Light Divine Emperor left this sentence, he disappeared directly.

The other two Divine Emperors were also like this.

At this moment, Divine Emperor Son pointed to the front and said: "The Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm has been jointly sealed by the Heavenly Venerables of the powerful clans of the Heavenly Realm. It is clearly in front, but we cannot see it. Only after all clans have agreed will it open at the same time. This time is very strange, because according to the previous agreement, it is not yet time for the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm to open; it would take at least three thousand years."

He was the son of Suppressing Mountain Divine Emperor, so he knew some hidden things.

"Perhaps as the three Divine Emperors said, there is a change in the chaotic world, which is why the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm was opened in advance," Tomb Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang's expression moved slightly, curious about what had happened in that chaotic world that actually attracted the Divine Emperors of the Heavenly Realm.

"That seems to be the people of the Luo Sha Clan. Sure enough, they arrived long ago, a full twelve Heavenly Kings," Dragon God Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang glanced, sensing an aura in the distance.

"Not just them, the True Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, Heavenly Human Clan, Lei Bu, and Human Daoist Sect... they have all come." The one who spoke was a female Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang; she seemed to have some kind of divine ability to perceive and locate.

"In that case, at least several hundred top-tier Heavenly Kings have gathered. If our Heavenly God Clan is surrounded and killed, that would be terrible," Tomb Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang revealed a worried look.

With limited quotas, no powerful clan could afford to be surrounded and killed, but this kind of situation happened often, especially for those powerful clans with extraordinary combat power, who were almost attacked as soon as they entered the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm.

"This time entering the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, everything is led by Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Tai Yi; this is the Divine Emperor Order," Divine Punishment said.

He supported Li Yi leading the team.

It wasn't just because Li Yi's strength was powerful, but because his style of doing things was relatively comprehensive and trustworthy.

Others looked at Li Yi, seemingly waiting for him to express his position.

Li Yi, however, shirked: "The Divine Emperor just said it casually. I have only just entered the Heavenly God Clan; what qualifications do I have to lead the team? After entering the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, everyone just needs to work together."

"Divine Emperor Son has an extraordinary status; it is most appropriate for him to lead the team."

He threw this task to Divine Emperor Son.

Divine Emperor Son, however, shook his head repeatedly. He was a defeated opponent; what face did he have to lead the team? If he had won the Heavenly God Platform competition last time, he would naturally be duty-bound. Now, even if he stood out, he couldn't convince the public.

"Tai Yi, you are a human-god hybrid. I know the temperament of the human race. Shirking is just modesty, but in the Heavenly God Clan, there is no need for this. If your strength is strong enough, you have the qualifications to lead us," Tomb said.

"That's right, Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Tai Yi. Your strength is the strongest, and you are a direct descendant of the Royal Clan. No matter from which point of view, you are the most suitable to become our commander," that female Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang also nodded and said.

Li Yi shirked for a while, and seeing that he couldn't shirk, he no longer refused. He said: "It's no problem for me to be the commander, but everyone must promise to listen to my orders. If one person refuses, I won't be this commander."

He then looked at everyone.

The promise of the Heavenly God Clan was still worth believing.

"No problem. In the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, I will listen to your orders."

"I have no problem either."

"Can do."

The other Heavenly Kings all nodded in agreement. They didn't have any displeasure; after all, they had to be of one mind when facing powerful enemies from outside, otherwise, it would be easy to be broken one by one.

This was also the reason why the Divine Emperor directly named Li Yi to lead everyone.

"Alright, since everyone has agreed, then from now on, call me Chi Tongling. After entering the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, listen to me in everything. If you don't obey, I will definitely not be lenient," Li Yi said: "After leaving the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, this commander position of mine will be immediately void, and everyone can do whatever they want."

"Yes!"

The nine people all made solemn promises.

Li Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.

Since he couldn't avoid it and couldn't hide, he would be this commander. At least with power in his hands, it would be convenient to do things later.

And just when Li Yi was discussing—

Soon—

—he felt a killing intent attacking this side.

That was the direction of the Luo Sha Clan.

"Why are these Luo Sha Clan people still staring at me?" Li Yi's mouth twitched. Although he knew that the Luo Sha Clan had a character of returning every grievance, he didn't expect them to stare at him so hard.

Fine.

Then after going to the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, I will wipe you all out first.

You return every grievance, and I, Li, am also narrow-minded.

Li Yi secretly made a decision in his heart.

In the next few days—

—one after another, groups of Heavenly Kings were rushed to this place by Divine Emperor power from the Ninth Heaven. Those few strands of Divine Emperor power left a group of people and then dissipated.

And the starry sky in front was dead silent, and nothing could be seen.

But Li Yi could feel that the space in front appeared to fluctuate, like ripples on the water surface.

This situation continued for a full twenty days.

On the twenty-first day—

—the spatial ripples became larger and larger. Afterward, a terrifying great power came from the depths of chaos, directly tearing open the space in front, revealing a secret realm world.

That world had chaotic auras wandering, terrifying killing intent floating, broken Imperial Palaces drifting, and many broken worlds intertwined... It looked like a chaotic world, and also like a battlefield, where danger and opportunity coexisted. ===== CHAPTER 979 =====
