Chapter 487: The Secret of the Imperial Throne

"Audacious scoundrel, you court death!"

Amidst the mist, the Heavenly Emperor trace spoke in shock and anger. With a single word, his command became law, manifesting countless Order Divine Chains within the Void, dense and packed, outlining supreme textures as they suppressed Li Heng.

"Interesting."

Li Heng smiled slightly, neither dodging nor evading. Golden light bloomed from his skin, and the Great Sun Dharma Aspect emerged behind him once more, manifesting the scene of the sun rising in the east, illuminating the Great Thousand Worlds, the source of light for this world.

The supreme textures outlined themselves, erupting with killing Divine Energy. As they collided with the Great Sun Dharma Aspect, the Void shook, evolving scenes of the universe's birth and destruction within, where earth, wind, water, and fire were in Chaos, then reunited, only to fall into Chaos again.

This was a melee between two powers of the Sacred level. If not for this place being peculiar and of an extremely high status, like a Unique True Realm, it would have long since affected the surroundings and evolved into the heavens.

At this point, the offensive from both sides reached a stalemate.

However, for the Heavenly Emperor trace, a stalemate was equivalent to losing. He had no spare energy to block Li Heng's incoming soul-searching strike, so he could only hurriedly dodge, leaving the imperial throne.

But he forgot one point: he could not leave the imperial throne.

No matter how he struggled or erupted with power, the throne he sat upon was like a magnet, firmly unmoved; it was simply not something he could break free from or leave.

The Heavenly Emperor trace felt a moment of despair, suddenly recalling this fact. He had been trapped here for endless years and simply could not avoid it. Could it be that he was truly going to have his soul searched by this person?

At this critical juncture, the imperial throne bloomed with golden light, and Profound Yellow Mother Qi hung down like tassels, shielding the Heavenly Emperor trace and placing him in a Saint Realm of being indestructible and immortal through ten thousand tribulations.

At the same time, it blocked Li Heng's soul-searching strike.

The Heavenly Emperor trace was stunned, then immediately reacted and laughed out loud. "Scoundrel, you see now? The dignity of the Heavenly Emperor is not something you can profane. If you dare to strike again, you will surely suffer the backlash!"

"Those who encounter the Emperor are never defeated; the true life has already been lost!"

At this moment, the others also reacted and hurriedly spoke out.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you must not!"

They were shocked and pale, not expecting Li Heng to be so bold. Although it was not the Heavenly Emperor himself here, but merely the Heavenly Emperor's trace, doing this was still a great disrespect to the Heavenly Emperor.

"Rest assured, he is not even a Heavenly Emperor trace."

Li Heng chuckled.

Facing this "Heavenly Emperor trace" protected by the Profound Yellow Mother Qi, he directly imbued his palm with Source Power. Using the supreme status of the Source Power, he directly ignored the so-called Saint Realm of being indestructible and immortal through ten thousand tribulations, reached inside, submerged into the mist, and began to search the soul.

Subsequently, in the blink of an eye, the Heaven and Earth changed.

He had arrived in the mental world of this "Heavenly Emperor trace."

All around was the Void, empty and devoid of anything, as if one could see the current desolation of this "Heavenly Emperor trace's" mind. Li Heng's mental Transformation Body stood there, looking at the humanoid creature before him, and spoke with a smile.

"Speak. I will give you one more chance: who are you?"

The humanoid creature opposite was somewhat stunned, but immediately sneered.

"Heh, you didn't search my soul directly, but chose to enter my mind instead? You are simply courting death! In my mental world, I am the god who can do anything!"

The humanoid creature wanted to act, to directly erase Li Heng.

Li Heng shook his head helplessly, flashed in front of the humanoid creature, slapped it until it exploded, and it subsequently turned into countless points of memory light, which he absorbed.

If you don't take the chance given, then you can only be killed.

After absorbing these memory light points, scenes flashed through Li Heng's mind, all of which were the past of this humanoid creature. As he watched, his expression became strange.

The humanoid creature was the thief who had emptied the Taiwei Hall of the present layer.

This humanoid creature was not a person of the True Realm, but a treasure hunter wandering the Great Void. Through a stroke of luck, he entered the True Realm and miraculously arrived at the Central Great World, the place of the Heavenly Court.

At the time, this humanoid creature thought this was his great opportunity, and he was ecstatic, continuously looting the treasures within the Heavenly Court Ruins.

Until he looted the Taiwei Hall, he triggered some unknown mechanism and was transported into this past layer, inexplicably sitting on the Heavenly Court imperial throne, becoming the so-called Heavenly Emperor trace.

After sitting on the imperial throne, his power was also bolstered, directly reaching the Sacred realm, and he even learned some information.

But the price was that he could never leave the imperial throne or leave this place; he could only repeatedly watch those phantoms of the Heavenly Court Sacred beings presenting memorials to the Heavenly Emperor, not knowing how many years had passed.

Originally, the humanoid creature had already despaired.

But then Li Heng appeared.

Because as the long years passed, this humanoid creature had not done nothing; he had been thinking about what exactly was trapping him, and he had already approached the truth.

After Li Heng appeared, the humanoid creature immediately had a flash of inspiration and captured the key to leaving this place.

That was to tell others the information left behind by the Heavenly Emperor, let others remember this information, and then delete his own memories regarding this information. That would be equivalent to grafting the Causality onto others; without the Causality, he could naturally leave.

Although this was only his guess and he had no evidence, he was also not confident that he could successfully delete the memories; after all, he had tried during the long years.

But this was his only hope; he could not give up.

That was why the scene just now occurred: this Heavenly Emperor trace was very easy to talk to, wanting to tell Li Heng the news left by the Heavenly Emperor, otherwise he would not let Li Heng leave.

"Interesting."

Regarding this, Li Heng gave this evaluation.

And he discovered something.

After he absorbed the humanoid creature's memories, he did not see the information left by the Heavenly Emperor. This meant that the information was not stored in this humanoid creature's memories.

Li Heng's mind returned to Reality.

At this time, the mist of the imperial throne dissipated, revealing an empty seat, and the corpse of that humanoid creature did not appear either.

Under careful observation, his vision even blurred slightly; he seemed to see various phantoms, himself seated high upon the Nine Heavens imperial throne, commanding the heavens, overlooking the birth and destruction of ten thousand worlds, full of temptation.

He had a feeling.

The information left by the Heavenly Emperor was perhaps hidden on the imperial throne before him. If he sat on the imperial throne, he should be able to know what the information left by the Heavenly Emperor was, and he might even receive a boost in power.

But the price, presumably, was the same as that humanoid creature.

To be trapped here forever.

This... what on earth is going on!?

Watching the mist disperse and the empty imperial throne, the crowd was also bewildered. Where was that Heavenly Emperor trace? And why did Li Heng say just now that it was not a Heavenly Emperor trace?

They all felt that the aura was very similar to the Heavenly Emperor. Besides an avatar or a trace, what other creature could disguise the aura of the Heavenly Emperor?

"As the saying goes, the Heavenly Emperor's seat is taken in turns, and this year it is my turn."

Li Heng smiled leisurely and sat upon the imperial throne.

He wanted to see.

Just what kind of mysteries this imperial throne held!
