Chapter 576: Heavenly Court Reinforcements

Li Heng raised an eyebrow.

This place is merely a phantom of history, not the True Reality. This situation is no longer just a matter of two parallel lines that never intersect; rather, one of the lines does not exist at all—it is an empty illusion.

Yet, this woman is able to notice him? Interesting.

He took a step forward and appeared here. The ten Calamities and monsters confronting the Shennü did not react. However, when that Shennü saw Li Heng appear, she was even more pleasantly surprised.

"Are you a visitor from the Heavenly Court, fellow Daoist? Have the reinforcements arrived?"

The Shennü asked happily, a light of hope rising in her eyes.

Li Heng was silent for a moment. According to the information he knew, the time it took for the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation to collapse back then was too short; it fell very quickly, and even the Heavenly Court in the True Realm could not react in time.

Therefore, if the information he obtained was correct, in the true history, there was no such thing as Heavenly Court reinforcements; the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation and the living beings within it would die in despair.

Did this Shennü die because she could not wait for reinforcements?

Thinking this, Li Heng spoke slowly.

"Indeed, a visitor from the Heavenly Court, the Imperial Teacher."

He did not tell a lie; every word was true. He was indeed a visitor from the Heavenly Court, acting on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor Authority, and ranked as the Supreme Imperial Teacher. Apart from that Heavenly Emperor, no one had the qualifications to say he was not a visitor from the Heavenly Court.

It was just that he did not belong to this ancient history.

"May I ask where the Heavenly Court reinforcements are?"

The Shennü asked, full of anticipation.

She had previously drawn the great power of the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation into herself, fighting to the death against these ten inexplicably appearing Calamities and monsters. Although she did not seem to be at a disadvantage now, the origin of the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation was being consumed rapidly; if it dragged on like this, she would undoubtedly die.

Just as she was in despair, she discovered an anomaly in the Void here. It seemed there was a gaze peeking in, and the aura was upright and peaceful—not an Evil Demon or Outer Path, and certainly not those Calamity monsters. Therefore, she suddenly spoke up, wanting to gamble on whether it was a visitor from the Heavenly Court.

Although a visitor from the Heavenly Court should not be peeking from the sidelines, she could not care about that anymore; she had to treat a dead horse as if it were a living one. She did not expect that she had actually guessed correctly—it really was a visitor from the Heavenly Court?

But... Imperial Teacher?

Was there such a person or position in the Heavenly Court?

And this term seemed a bit arrogant. Imperial Teacher, Imperial Teacher—could it be that he was the teacher of the Heavenly Emperor? Thinking of this, she shook her head inwardly; how could that be possible?

Who could be above that Supreme Heavenly Emperor?

However, this person did indeed have the aura of the Heavenly Court on him, so he should be trustworthy. Even if he were not, she could not care about that anymore.

"The Heavenly Court reinforcements are me; it is just me alone."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

The Shennü was stunned upon hearing this, revealing a look of confusion and disbelief. "Just... you alone, fellow Daoist Imperial Teacher?" She asked quickly, looking at Li Heng tentatively, suspecting she had misheard.

"That is correct, just me. And fellow Daoist, there is no need to be so polite; my surname is Li, no need to address me as Imperial Teacher," Li Heng responded with a smile.

Having received Li Heng's confirmation, the Shennü felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. Her spiritual world shattered and reformed under this blow; earth, wind, water, and fire returned to chaos, and she could not even stand steadily.

One person? What kind of joke is this!

This concerns the safety of the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation! Once something happens to the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation, the entire Great Void will change, and everything will slide toward a bad direction!

The Heavenly Court knows this, yet they only sent one person?

What exactly does their Heavenly Court want to do!

Is this how they protect Reincarnation, protect the heavens, and protect the Void? We do not owe them anything; could it be that they owe us a great deal!

A nameless fire burned in the Shennü's heart. She knew that the reason the Heavenly Court sent one person was likely because this fellow Daoist Li before her was very strong, perhaps even only below that Heavenly Emperor.

But the crisis faced by the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation could only be resolved if that Supreme Heavenly Emperor or the Heavenly Court Sacred ones came out in full force and acted with all their might.

Not to mention anything else.

Just look at these ten Calamities and monsters confronting her in the Core Land; their auras are faintly united, and their power is already approaching that Supreme Heavenly Emperor. And this is not all—outside the Core Land, there are still Calamities and monsters of the same level running rampant!

"Fellow Daoist truly does not believe me?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and chuckled lightly.

"It is not that Hou You does not trust you, fellow Daoist, but the situation is of great importance. I ask that you inform the True Realm Heavenly Court of everything that has happened here and have them send all their manpower; safety should be the priority."

The Shennü named Hou You was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"It is precisely because of this that I have come."

Li Heng still responded with a smile.

Hou You Shennü frowned. Why was this Li Daoren so stubborn? Did he not see those ten Calamities and monsters confronting her on the other side? They could not be resolved unless the Heavenly Emperor acted.

"Then I must trouble you to act with me, fellow Daoist. It should be noted that those ten Calamity monsters on the other side are terrifyingly powerful. Please be careful, fellow Daoist, and do not lose your life."

She sighed, not wanting to waste any more time. She did not know what the Heavenly Court was planning, but having someone was better than having no one.

"Why trouble you, fellow Daoist? I alone can suppress them."

Li Heng shook his head and chuckled. He extended his palm, raised it high, and then slowly pressed it downward. In an instant, a giant palm manifested above the heads of those ten Calamity monsters. The palm was boundless, filling the Void and sealing all existence, leaving those ten Calamity monsters with nowhere to escape.

Suppressed downward, in an instant, the Calamity monsters vanished into ashes!

Li Heng withdrew his palm, his expression as calm as usual.

He was already in the Venerable Realm, and these ten Calamities and monsters, even when united, only faintly approached a Venerable; they could not escape his suppression at all. Furthermore, this place was merely a phantom of history, not the true bodies of those ten Calamities and monsters, so it was only natural that they were destroyed with a single strike; otherwise, his cultivation would have been in vain.

Hou You Shennü was stunned on the spot, unable to react.

What happened?

Where did those ten massive Calamities and monsters go just now? How did they suddenly disappear, wiped out with a single slap? No way! Those were ten Calamities and monsters that were faintly approaching the realm of that Supreme Heavenly Emperor!

"Are you... the Heavenly Emperor?"

Hou You Shennü quickly regained her senses and looked at Li Heng, asking tentatively. In her mind, only that Supreme Heavenly Emperor possessed such great power to easily crush Calamity monsters.

"I am not the Heavenly Emperor, merely the Imperial Teacher."

Li Heng shook his head.

"Many thanks to the Imperial Teacher for your help, but I always feel it will not be that simple. The Imperial Teacher must remain vigilant against those Calamity monsters returning to life; to deal with such things, one must seal them."

Hearing the term Imperial Teacher once again, Hou You still did not quite understand. Could it be that that Supreme Heavenly Emperor truly had a teacher? But was that not a noble existence born before Heaven and Earth?

However, she could not be bothered to pay much attention to all that; while vigilantly watching the surrounding Void, she reminded Li Heng of the undying nature of the Calamity and the monsters. Sometimes it is not that the Sacred cannot defeat the Calamity and the monsters, but that the Calamity and the monsters can rely on their undying nature to wear the Sacred to death.

"Rest assured, they will not return. But, do you still not realize the truth? Or is it that you do not want to realize it, dare not admit it, and still wish to sleep, feigning ignorance?"

Li Heng looked at Hou You with a faint, enigmatic smile and spoke.
