Chapter 717: Daluo Heaven, Purple Heaven Palace

Outside the Zhanchang.

In that vast and boundless Da Xu Kong, above the Time-Space Mother River, a massive fleet was sailing, heading in the direction of the Zhanchang.

"Captain, why are we still going there? Haven't we been there before? But we were repelled by the laws there and didn't gain much; why go now?"

Within the central main command room of the massive fleet.

A slightly young figure looked at a burly, tall, and very dignified figure beside them and asked in confusion.

"The higher-ups have issued an order for us to go over, but the specific details are not for you to know. You only need to know that we must go there, and it is highly likely we will have to fight."

The tall figure shook their head and smiled.

They were thinking to themselves, actually feeling quite puzzled as well.

The person above had actually issued a Honghuang-class order, telling them to head to the Zhanchang to protect that mission target. But who was that mission target? What was their identity? To go to such great lengths.

And why would that mission target run to the Zhanchang?

That place was filled with Chaos and slaughter; it looked as if it were naturally birthed by the laws of the Da Xu Kong, but in reality, it was a place of Inauspiciousness, anti-civilization, and anti-life.

How could a normal person go to such a place?

Or was it that the mission target had been chosen?

"Code name, Hidden Dragon? Truly interesting. A hidden dragon in the abyss, a flying dragon in the sky; it seems this mission target is very special, with a vast future, perhaps even possessing the ability to change the current situation?"

This captain pondered, muttering to themselves.

"Forget it, all fleets, full speed ahead!"

After thinking for a while and failing to obtain any useful information, they shook their head and stopped thinking about it, directly ordering all fleets to accelerate to reach that Zhanchang as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, within a certain Zhongwei Zhanchang.

Li Heng's sublimation and promotion had reached a critical stage.

This was the third sublimation of the Hongdao Level. And the number three was very magical and profound; it had the saying that "three gives birth to all things," as well as the idea that Heaven and Earth are formed in three, established in seven, and reach their limit in nine.

Did it seem to resonate with the number of the Great Dao in the dark?

Of course, this could also be nonsense; after all, the number three might not apply in all environments. But for Li Heng now, this number was indeed special.

Three sublimations, three supreme firmaments...

He could feel the Jade Clarity Realm Qingwei Heaven, the Supreme Purity Realm Yu Yu Heaven, and the Grand Clarity Realm Dachi Heaven sublimating again, reaching a corresponding critical point, a platform.

From this moment on, Li Heng had the qualifications.

He could vaguely see that above the Three Pure Heavens, a supreme firmament was faintly emerging, with a vast and boundless Gong Dian standing within it—perhaps the supreme Daluo Heaven, the supreme Purple Heaven Palace!

Li Heng had a slight realization.

If the Thirty-Six Heavens were compared to a building, then the Three Pure Heavens were the foundation for the Daluo Heaven; only with a solid foundation could one build higher floors, otherwise, the foundation would be unstable, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water.

And before this sublimation, Li Heng's Three Pure Heavens could be considered to have an unstable foundation, or even no foundation at all, lacking the qualification to exist in the higher firmament above the Three Pure Heavens, the supreme Daluo Heaven.

But after three sublimations, he had this qualification.

At this moment, the Three Pure Heavens were sufficient to support the Daluo Heaven above them. Of course, it was only sufficient, only a qualification; whether he had the corresponding ability remained to be seen.

Being eighteen and an adult did not mean you could earn money independently.

A shoddy foundation could also support a higher floor of a building.

It was just that this floor might collapse.

"The appearance of the traces of Daluo Heaven is faster than I thought."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

He had thought he would need to sublimate nine more times.

But this might be a good thing.

The faint emergence of the Daluo Heaven and Purple Heaven Palace pointed him in a direction, no longer making him like a headless fly as before.

However, he would not open up the Daluo Heaven so quickly.

As the saying goes, the lower structure determines the upper structure.

How many times had the Three Pure Heavens sublimated? Even if he now had the qualification to support the Daluo Heaven, that was only a qualification. Even if the Three Pure Heavens could barely support it, he would not do so.

Build a building as high as the foundation is deep.

He did not want to open up a shoddy Daluo Heaven.

Moreover, looking at the current Source Power, it was far from enough!

Thoughts turned in Li Heng's mind, temporarily settling the many matters of the future, and then he returned to calm, like an ancient well without ripples, took a step, and returned to the Zhanchang.

Now with three sublimations, he could be even more unscrupulous.

At this time, within the Upper Battlefield.

The nine Emperors searching together were somewhat puzzled.

What was going on? Why hadn't they found the trace of that Invincible King yet? It would be one thing to dodge the gaze of one Emperor, but they were now nine Emperors searching together.

And he could still dodge them? It was simply absurd!

"Could it be that Yindian was right, and he ran out of the Zhanchang?"

The Taiji Emperor proposed a guess, the Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams Taiji Diagram behind them spinning wildly, deducing the heavenly secrets, incorporating all possibilities into the Taiji Diagram, observing Causality and Fate as if viewing patterns on one's palm.

But they still could not find any trace of Li Heng.

"How is that possible? Unless he can ignore the Battlefield Law. Even if he could really tear through the laws with sheer strength, it would cause a huge commotion and be detected by us."

The Abyss behind the Daoyuan Emperor constantly spat out black Qi, using this black Qi to track Time-Space and Fate, but they still gained nothing.

"Perhaps someone is providing support."

"Support? What kind of support?"

The other Emperors frowned and looked at the bejeweled Treasure Emperor. Although many Emperors were very disdainful of this Treasure Emperor, feeling that they were full of the stench of copper, they had to admit that their methods were profound and their information was the most well-informed.

"Haven't you noticed? A fleet is approaching the Zhanchang."

Treasure Emperor spoke indifferently.

"A fleet?"

The other Emperors were slightly stunned; they released their consciousness to sense the outside of the Zhanchang, instantly becoming furious, either cursing or appearing gloomy and suspicious.

"And it's that messy Multiverse Republic's fleet! They were expelled when they broke through the Zhanchang barrier back then, and now they still won't give up, wanting to come again?"

"Heh, perhaps they are here to pick up that Invincible King?"

Treasure Emperor smiled and responded upon hearing such words.

"Wait, ignore the fleet for now; in the Zhongwei Zhanchang and Lower Battlefield below, there is another situation of excessive personnel losses, and I have found the trail of that Invincible King!"

At this moment, Infinite Emperor, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.

The other Emperors instantly regained their focus and cast their gazes down.

Within a certain Zhongwei Zhanchang, Li Heng strolled leisurely amidst the rain of blood filling the sky. Some who lacked foresight tried to ambush him in secret, only to be directly shaken to death by the surrounding force field.

At this moment, he stopped his footsteps, looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through the limits of the Zhanchang, spanning infinite dimensions of time and space, crossing the boundaries of one box after another, and locked eyes with the nine Emperors.

He smiled and spoke, "Nine fellow Daoists have quite the refined interest..."
