Chapter 997

Li Yi stood near the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace for most of the day; he had obtained some general information about the palace from the other three Heavenly Emperors, and seeing that the other party was becoming impatient, he figured there was no point in dragging it out any longer.

He immediately walked out from the chaotic Qi.

Seeing Li Yi move, the three Heavenly Emperors near the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace were instantly energized, thinking they had finally persuaded the other party and that he was now willing to cooperate.

But soon, the expressions of these three Heavenly Emperors changed.

Killing intent!

They sensed an incomparably dangerous killing intent; this killing intent made even these powerful Heavenly Emperors feel a sense of terror, as if they were about to encounter a great disaster, which was extremely dangerous.

"Daring to show killing intent toward the three of us, you are courting death." One Heavenly Emperor was furious; he did not even wait for Li Yi to strike, but decisively launched an attack, and the terrifying Heavenly Emperor power swept over in a mighty wave.

Even the chaotic Qi was torn apart.

The other two Heavenly Emperors also had cold gazes and instantly took out their Heavenly Emperor weapons; if the other party remained ignorant of what was good for him, they would not mind besieging and killing him right here.

However, the next moment, a shocking event occurred.

A chaotic fist light bloomed abruptly, instantly shattering that mighty Heavenly Emperor power, and with its remaining momentum undiminished, it slammed directly into the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan who had just attacked.

It was but a single strike.

That Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan was blasted into the chaos; his divine body was forcibly cracked, blood sprayed all the way, and he was already bleeding after just one round.

◆￠o

"This combat power... *cough cough*." The Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan raised his head in shock while coughing, his eyes already revealing a hint of terror.

To injure a peer Heavenly Emperor in a single strike—this combat power was simply terrifying. Since when did the Celestial Realm produce such a freak with peak combat power?

"Three mediocrities; after cultivating for so many years, you cannot even withstand one of my strikes. Very well, since we have torn off the masks and started fighting, then today I will simply send you all on your way together."

Li Yi said coldly, and an Imperial Blade had already appeared in his hand; the blade reflected a galaxy, with countless starlight flickering, but accompanied by the infusion of chaotic divine power, the Imperial Blade hummed, and a terrifying aura permeated the air.

"The Celestial God Clan's Heavenly Emperor weapon, the Star-Slaying Imperial Blade? It used to be the Heavenly Emperor weapon of Divine Emperor Sun-Moon, but that Divine Emperor Sun-Moon fell in the Chaos Secret Realm long ago; however, the Imperial Blade was taken away by other Divine Emperors of the Celestial God Clan." That Human Clan Heavenly Emperor seemed to recognize this Imperial weapon, and his expression sank immediately: "So you are a Divine Emperor of the Celestial God Clan?"

"A remnant of the Celestial God Clan?" The Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan and the remaining Heavenly Emperor of the Qilin Clan also had their expressions change.

They remembered that the Celestial God Clan had already been wiped out, and all the named Divine Emperors within the clan had been besieged and killed, leaving only some insignificant Celestial God Clan members fleeing everywhere in the Celestial Realm.

"Could it be a newly broken-through Divine Emperor?" This thought popped into their minds.

Because they had been staying in the Chaos World, they did not know about the changes in the outside world, so they were unaware of the name Divine Emperor Tai Yi, and even less aware of the Heavenly Emperor execution at the Sea of Return to Ruins, where Divine Emperor Tai Yi fought ten alone and achieved the feat of killing four Heavenly Emperors.

"Useless to talk more; regardless of whether he is a Divine Emperor of the Celestial God Clan, this battle today is unavoidable. Besiege and kill this person; we will talk about everything after we win." Although the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan was injured, he had already recovered seven or eight-tenths, and he also took out a Heavenly Emperor weapon.

It was a nine-colored treasure mace; with just a casual wave, the nearby chaotic Qi was forcibly swept away.

"Makes sense." The Human Clan Heavenly Emperor and the Qilin Clan Heavenly Emperor both agreed deeply.

However, suddenly.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan's pupils shrank abruptly, and he slammed the nine-colored treasure mace in his hand to counterattack.

A collision sound echoed in the Chaos World; an Imperial Blade, wrapped in chaotic divine power, had already slashed down. There were no divine abilities or spells, only the crushing force of pure power.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan immediately felt that something was wrong; he gritted his teeth and roared, attempting to resist, but the power of the Imperial Blade had already exceeded the limit he could bear.

Instantly, the nine-colored treasure mace was blasted away, and the falling Imperial Blade, like a galaxy of blade light, swallowed him completely. He didn't even have room to resist; his Imperial body was extinguished, and his Primordial Spirit dissipated.

In just one strike, this Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan was killed head-on while holding a Heavenly Emperor weapon.

During these few years of cultivating in the Chaos World, Li Yi's strength had become even stronger; previously, Heavenly Emperors of the same realm could still withstand a strike, although the price was being severely injured, they at least survived.

But now.

Taking a strike head-on meant death; this combat power had already exceeded the limit that a Heavenly Emperor could bear. Let alone besieging him, being able to survive in his hands was already considered lucky.

"His strength is very wrong; we are not his match. Run quickly." Seeing the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Human Clan fall, the Human Clan Heavenly Emperor was instantly shocked; he immediately lost all will to fight and, without a word, turned around and fled.

Fighting such a freak? Relying on just the two of them? Don't dream about it.

Even ten, no, twenty Heavenly Emperors might not be able to besiege and kill him; this was no longer a powerful Emperor that Heavenly Emperors could deal with—only a Heavenly Venerable could kill him.

The two Heavenly Emperors were shocked and fled in different directions at high speed.

But they were fast, and Li Yi moved even faster.

Two streams of chaotic divine power flew out, heading straight for the two of them.

It was just a casual strike, yet it had already cut off their path of escape, forcing them to unleash all their strength and take out their Heavenly Emperor weapons to resist this strike head-on.

The Human Clan Heavenly Emperor had just paid the price of injury to block this chaotic divine power, but the next moment, the brilliance of an Imperial Blade flashed and arrived; his Imperial body shattered directly, and he died miserably on the spot.

The last Heavenly Emperor of the Qilin Clan fared no better; although he took this opportunity to escape a bit further, an ancient spear tore through the chaos and nailed him directly onto a huge piece of chaotic bedrock.

"The Primordial Imperial Spear of the Black Dragon Emperor?" The Qilin Emperor coughed up a mouthful of blood; looking at this familiar Heavenly Emperor weapon, his heart trembled immediately.

Even the Black Dragon Emperor's Heavenly Emperor weapon had fallen into this person's hands; the Black Dragon Emperor was likely in grave danger as well.

"You Heavenly Emperors have quite the experience, recognizing all the Heavenly Emperor weapons in my hands. However, this does not change the fact of your defeat and death." Li Yi's voice echoed in the chaos, and with one step, he had arrived before this Qilin Emperor.

He held the Star-Slaying Imperial Blade in one hand and a Blood-Weeping Killing Sword in the other.

"Has even the Luo Sha Clan's Jiehe Luo Sha Emperor fallen into your hands...?" Seeing that blood-red Imperial Sword, the Heavenly Emperor of the Qilin Clan was horrified once again.

Just how many Heavenly Emperors had this person hunted and killed? Those Imperial weapons were the best proof, and this was only what could be seen—there were others that couldn't be seen.

Li Yi did not say anything more, but simply raised the blood-colored Imperial Sword in his hand; under the infusion of chaos, the Imperial Sword hummed, blooming with blood-colored sword light.

He slashed with one sword.

The Qilin Emperor roared in unwillingness, attempting to break free from the restraint of the Primordial Imperial Spear and fight for his life against this person again, but the chaotic divine power imbued on the Imperial Spear made him unable to exert any strength; his Heavenly Emperor power seemed to be sealed, and he could only watch helplessly as a blood-colored sword light appeared.

The next moment, a huge Qilin head fell into the Chaos World.

Subsequently, the Imperial body shattered and returned to nothingness, leaving only a cyan scale armor on the spot.

This was the Qilin Emperor's Heavenly Emperor weapon, the Earth Venerable Armor.

Under the infusion of chaotic divine power, the Primordial Imperial Spear had even pierced through this Imperial armor; however, if not for the protection of this Imperial armor, the Qilin Emperor would not have been able to survive after taking a strike.

"A defensive Heavenly Emperor weapon? No wonder it was so hard to kill." Li Yi took away this Imperial armor.

He saw the Imperial armor immediately change its form, turning into a huge cyan Qilin divine statue, majestic and extraordinary.

Afterward, he took away the nine-colored divine mace.

As for the fallen Human Clan Heavenly Emperor, he seemed relatively poor and did not have his own Heavenly Emperor weapon, and the Imperial Palace on his body had also been damaged along with that strike, making it impossible to inherit the other party's assets—this was a bit of a pity.

But there was no help for it; when facing an enemy, one couldn't hold back just for fear of breaking things.

After Li Yi tidied up, he looked toward the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace again.

At the gate of the traveling palace, there was a power imbued; he was familiar with that power—it was the power of creation.

Under the influence of the power of creation, this traveling palace, even if it looked like it could be destroyed in one strike, was actually indestructible; only when the power of creation was exhausted could the gate be opened.

Li Yi did not hesitate, raised the Blood-Weeping Divine Sword, channeled chaotic divine power, and slashed out a blood-colored sword light.

The sword light's power was incomparably terrifying, enough to submerge the starry sky and destroy all things.

But when it struck the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace, it didn't even splash a ripple, nor did it shatter a single stone on the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace; this palace would endure for ten thousand ages, remaining here, unable to be shaken in the slightest.

"Even I cannot break open this Heavenly Venerable traveling palace; no wonder those three Heavenly Emperors sat here withered for years, unable to advance an inch," Li Yi thought to himself.

However, to explore the secret of the disappearance of that Heavenly Venerable of the Celestial God Clan, he had to go inside and find out no matter what.

He launched several attacks in succession, attempting to wear down the power of creation on it.

But Li Yi's method did not have a significant effect; although the power of creation on it was weakened, he felt that if he wanted to get inside, he would probably have to wear it down for a hundred years to have any possibility.

He could not keep attacking continuously for a hundred years here.

"There is only one way to enter the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace ahead of time, and that is to use the power of creation to counter the power of creation." Li Yi subsequently took out the Years Imperial Furnace.

He had retained quite a bit of the power of creation when he was refining the Heavenly Venerable's blood at the Sea of Return to Ruins, but he had always been very frugal with its use, because this thing was used up once it was spent; he only used it at critical moments.

Although he did not know what was inside this Heavenly Venerable traveling palace, there was no other way at the moment.

"Help me open the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace before me." Li Yi took a portion of the power of creation and imbued it onto the Blood-Weeping Killing Sword, then added chaotic divine power, and slashed out another sword light.

This sword light was no different from before.

But under the influence of the power of creation, this sword light actually shook the traveling palace, slashing a crack into it with one sword.

"Slashed it open?"

Li Yi's expression shifted, and he no longer hesitated; he turned into a stream of divine light and headed straight for the Heavenly Venerable traveling palace.

At this moment, he was unobstructed and successfully entered it along the crack.

Inside, it was bright and clear, with no chaotic Qi, but a divine statue carved from chaotic bedrock immediately attracted Li Yi's attention.
