Chapter 460: Seeing the Unknown Calamity Again

"Fine."

Li Heng did not want to dwell on this anymore.

In his view, this kind of reasoning was a bit paranoid. But since it was paranoia, presumably ordinary logic would not work, and he could not be bothered to argue with the Guangnan Heavenly King.

Li Heng's perfunctory attitude made the Guangnan Heavenly King feel displeased.

This outsider really did not understand the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

However, he also knew that everyone had their own opinions, and he could not say much, so he could only sulk alone.

"I advise you not to underestimate Fellow Daoist Li Heng."

"You must know, if not for his help, this old man would still be trapped in one place, unaware of it. Even you, a slacker who wants to leave this place, must rely on Fellow Daoist Li Heng."

Bai Laotou said leisurely, unwilling to give up the chance to mock him.

The Guangnan Heavenly King raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had to admit the point Bai Laotou made.

If all of this was the Heavenly Emperor's arrangement, then with his power, he could not break through it at all. But... did this Li Heng really have the ability to break through the Heavenly Emperor's arrangement?

Although this old man said it could truly be broken, he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he still held some doubts.

"It's not like I absolutely must get out."

"If this is the Heavenly Emperor's layout, requiring us all to be trapped in one place, then you, old man, running out of your own place is actually disrupting the Heavenly Emperor's layout. What crime should that be?"

The Guangnan Heavenly King sneered.

"Fart, do you think I was scared into growing up? The Heavenly Emperor is so majestic, everything is within his calculations. How do you know that me running out of my own place isn't also part of the plan?"

"Are you trying to deny the Heavenly Emperor's ability?"

Bai Laotou blew his beard and stared.

The Guangnan Heavenly King's tone stalled, secretly thinking it was bad; he hadn't thought carefully before speaking, and instead, he had been cornered by this old man. Now, as long as he dared to refute, it would count as questioning the Heavenly Emperor's ability.

"Hmph, forget it, I won't engage in a war of words with you!"

He turned his head away, showing disdain for arguing.

After thinking for a moment, his expression softened, and he looked at Li Heng. "Fellow Daoist Li, you just said I was already dead, and my corpse was nailed to the Heavenly Gate by my own weapon?"

Li Heng nodded.

"That is indeed the case. Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem."

The Guangnan Heavenly King shook his head.

"Although my path ahead is hopeless, I would not commit suicide. Moreover, I can bolster my strength within the range of the Heavenly Gate; even if enemies of the Sacred come to invade, I can fight them off and will definitely hold the Heavenly Gate."

"But now, I am nailed to the Heavenly Gate by my own weapon? This situation should not happen, because that Bronze Ancient Spear is my life-bound weapon and would never hurt me."

"Unless... I am no longer myself!"

Li Heng was thoughtful. So that was it?

"Fellow Daoist Li, since you have the ability to appear in this past, can you let me see that corpse? I want to see what kind of thing that actually is!"

The Guangnan Heavenly King asked.

He was indeed curious about why this situation occurred, and at the same time, he harbored the intention to test Li Heng's ability to see if he could break his own Heavenly Emperor's arrangement; after all, seeing is believing.

"What is difficult about that?"

The relationship between this past of the Heavenly Court and the present where Li Heng was located was like a person and their shadow; in a sense, the distance was very close. As long as one could find the key, one could travel freely between the two sides.

Immediately, he waved his large hand, and the surrounding scenery began to change.

The originally magnificent Heavenly Gate became dilapidated, stained with dark red blood, and the figure of the Guangnan Heavenly King appeared at this time.

The Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun were startled.

It was one thing that Li Heng had been talking to the air just like that old man Bai. Now, a big man had suddenly popped up in front of them. What was going on?

"Wait, you are the Guangnan Heavenly King?!"

"But aren't you up there!"

The Little Golden Dragon saw the appearance of the big man clearly, spoke in astonishment, and then stretched out its dragon claw to point at the corpse nailed to the Heavenly Gate, feeling somewhat confused.

Did the Venerable One even bring the Guangnan Heavenly King back to life?

The Guangnan Heavenly King looked up at the corpse on the Heavenly Gate, nodded thoughtfully. "He really didn't lie to me, it really is my corpse. I was actually really nailed to the Heavenly Gate?"

"What are your thoughts now?"

Bai Laotou chuckled.

"What thoughts? Of course, I want to see why!"

The Guangnan Heavenly King sneered and secretly pinched a spell.

"Pierce the truth and break the delusion, penetrate the origin, go!"

He pinched a golden Rune, which radiated a mysterious aura, as if it could discern all the Reason in the world, and imprinted it onto the corpse.

The Rune sank into the corpse, instantly shining with golden light.

As the light burst forth, an image appeared before their eyes.

The image first presented that lonely Heavenly Gate.

And the Guangnan Heavenly King, covered in wounds, panting heavily, sat half-upright, leaning against the Heavenly Gate, looking at the endless, rolling and surging darkness outside the Heavenly Gate.

The Heavenly Gate bloomed with golden light, wanting to dispel the darkness.

But the darkness still moved forward steadily, slowly drifting toward the Heavenly Gate.

The Guangnan Heavenly King sighed, a Bronze Ancient Spear appeared in his hand, and using the spear as a support, he stood up. The weapon danced on his shoulder, stirring the winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens, capable of destroying the Great Thousand Worlds, and charged into the darkness.

Then, the endless darkness submerged the Heavenly Gate.

The image was interrupted there.

After reading it, the crowd fell into silence.

Soon, Bai Laotou was the first to speak, sighing with emotion.

"I didn't expect you, this fellow, to really fight to the death without fleeing at all. With your Half-step Divine cultivation, if you had wanted to escape, you would have had a great chance."

The Heavenly King of Guangnan pondered for a moment and spoke.

"You all be careful; there must be something inside this corpse, otherwise I would never have chosen to commit suicide in the end." He seemed to have seen the cause of his future death clearly, so he spoke to warn them.

Li Heng looked thoughtful.

That endless darkness submerging the Heavenly Court was the Calamity, and sensing it carefully, the darkness was also mixed with the Unknown, which seemed to be the Unknown Calamity encountered by the Xianshi Tiandi. It was just that the Unknown Calamity encountered by the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court was a hundred million times stronger than that of Reality.

Suddenly, an abnormal change occurred.

The corpse nailed to the Heavenly Gate slowly opened its eyes, its black and white mixed, somewhat turbid eyeballs rolling around, then it raised its hand, pulled out the long spear that had nailed it down, and its aura erupted.

Wisps of black Qi lingered around the corpse, and every inch of its skin was wriggling and sinking, looking incomparably dangerous and Weird.

"Not good, run!"

The expression of the Heavenly King of Guangnan changed drastically, then he shouted angrily, simultaneously erupting with power and standing ready in full battle array.

"That thing has completely occupied my body and even devoured my own Dao Fruit entirely; its strength has already surpassed an ordinary Half-step Divine, it cannot be fought!"

"Those who pass the Heavenly Gate, die!"

Although this corpse had pulled out the long spear, it did not land on the ground, but stood in mid-air holding the spear, staring fixedly at the crowd beneath the Heavenly Gate, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

The expression of the Heavenly King of Guangnan was ugly; this thing occupying his body was putting on an act, wasn't it? If others were not on guard, they would think it was his obsession reviving.

"Go quickly, I will hold him off!"

Seeing that the crowd was still staying in place and had not moved.

The Heavenly King of Guangnan was somewhat annoyed and urged them anxiously again.

Why did this group of people have no sense of crisis?

Li Heng's expression was subtle upon hearing this.

He looked at this corpse, then pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed downwards; an invisible edge instantly swept across, and the corpse's head fell to the ground, rolling to his feet.

He reached out and picked up this head, displaying it before the crowd.

"Alright, there is no need to run now."

Li Heng spoke indifferently.
