Reaching the Other Shore
Chapter 991 Reaching the Other Shore
Li Yi wielded the broken Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, forcefully cleaving through the chaotic energy and carving a path, leading the other Heavenly Kings of the Celestial God Clan straight towards the Chaos Heavenly Stele.
Everything went smoothly at first.
However, as Li Yi got closer, he realized something was wrong. The closer he got to the Chaos Stele, the denser the chaotic energy became, like a vast ocean. Moreover, the chaotic energy that had been split open quickly began to erode him again.
The time left for Li Yi and his group to pass through was very short.
Most fatally, the distance Li Yi could cleave through the chaotic sea was also rapidly decreasing, because the chaotic energy was eroding the sword light of the Heavenly Emperor's Broken Sword at an extremely fast speed.
Even for Li Yi, a Heavenly King of the Celestial Clan, the continuous use of the Heavenly Emperor's Broken Sword greatly depleted his magical power.
But now that they've reached the halfway point, there's no turning back. They can only grit their teeth and move forward, because the path behind them has been reclaimed by the chaotic energy.
Of course, this wasn't just his situation; other Heavenly Kings who rushed into the Sea of Chaos experienced the same thing.
On the contrary, Li Yi and the others are currently in the best situation. Although there are some hardships and dangers, they are at least in a good position and no one has lost their lives due to the erosion of the chaotic energy.
"With this concentration of chaotic energy, if one were to fall into it, even a Heavenly King would be completely dissolved within moments, and even a Heavenly King's weapon would quickly turn into nothingness."
The Tomb King's eyelids twitched as he looked at the chaotic energy so close at hand. He dared not delay for a moment and took steps to closely follow the steps of the Taiyi King in front of him.
As soon as they left, the chaotic energy engulfed them.
Just one step too late, and you'd be dead.
Fortunately, all the Heavenly Kings were top-tier experts selected from among the best, so they would not make such a mistake. Their control over their magical powers was extremely refined, and there were no errors whatsoever.
Meanwhile, the Chaos Heavenly Stele was getting closer and closer to him.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the Chaos Stele was extremely large, resembling several stars pieced together, with a strange shape, yet it was entangled with an indescribable divine power.
"God Emperor's Son, clear the way for me with the Heavenly Emperor's Broken Sword, I'm going to use the Time Emperor Furnace." Li Yi shouted at this moment, and after unleashing a sword light, he slowed down and then threw the Heavenly Emperor's Broken Sword out.
"Alright." The Divine Emperor's son immediately rushed out, took the broken sword of the Heavenly Emperor, and took Li Yi's place, unleashing a terrifying sword light that cleaved a path through the chaotic sea.
But soon, his expression changed slightly. As soon as he unleashed his attack, the chaotic energy encroached upon him, leaving only a narrow path for everyone to pass through in a short time.
This path existed for less than a breath.
This indicates that the chaotic energy in front has become even more concentrated.
In such a situation, if even the slightest mishap occurs, someone will surely perish in the Sea of Chaos.
But at that moment, Li Yi summoned the Time Emperor Furnace. The enormous furnace, as majestic as a star, appeared, carrying the Yin and Yang energies, and charged forward, smashing open the Chaos Sea and forcefully pushing aside the surrounding chaotic energy.
The Divine Emperor's son understood immediately, and a follow-up sword light appeared, revealing the path ahead and instantly resolving the crisis.
"With the Heavenly Emperor's army clearing the way, this trip is a sure thing." Everyone was overjoyed.
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved ahead of schedule, Li Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He immediately focused on controlling the Time-Bound Imperial Furnace.
With the two Heavenly Emperor Weapons working together, Li Yi quickly and successfully crossed the Chaos Sea and arrived near the Chaos Heavenly Stele, where there was no chaotic energy.
"This Chaos Stele is actually absorbing chaotic energy?" Li Yi noticed the clue and seemed somewhat surprised.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having successfully crossed the celestial barrier. They stopped and gazed intently at the enormous celestial monument before them.
Judging from its material composition, this is a huge, chaotic, and stubborn rock.
But it is different from ordinary chaotic rocks, because chaotic rocks do not have any power fluctuations or any strange features. They are indestructible.
"A power is emanating from the Chaos Heavenly Stele, which is of incredible help to the Heavenly King." The Divine Punishment Heavenly King stared at the Heavenly Stele in front of him. His whole body was radiating divine light, and his aura was constantly growing stronger under the influence of that power.
This obvious improvement is astonishing; it seems that as long as this state is maintained, one can break through the limits and become a Heavenly Emperor.
"Since it's a good thing, let's find a way to take it back." The Divine Emperor's son was very anxious at this moment. He brandished the broken Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, trying to split the Chaos Heavenly Stele and take it away.
When a terrifying sword light slashed across, it was neutralized by a strange force before it even hit the Heavenly Stele, and the sword light vanished instantly.
"I refuse to believe it!" The son of the God Emperor roared again, revealing his divine body and using the Star-Picking Hand technique to move the enormous celestial monument.
With its divine power, moving stars would be a piece of cake, but the Chaos Stele in front of it could not be moved an inch, as if it were firmly rooted in this place.
Then the Divine Emperor's son tried various other methods.
Finally came to a conclusion.
That means the Chaos Heavenly Stele cannot be taken away or damaged; it can only remain in its original place.
At least with their current strength, that's the case.
“Since we can’t take it with us, we can only hurry up and comprehend the mysteries of the Chaos Heavenly Stele. Before leaving the Heavenly Venerable Secret Realm, everyone should improve their strength as much as possible. Once we miss this opportunity, we won’t have another chance,” Li Yi said.
Everyone agreed that this made sense.
Li Yi then headed straight for the Chaos Heavenly Stele, landing directly on it. He didn't feel any harm done to him; instead, a strange power surged into his body. This power was mysterious and profound.
Although it cannot directly increase the Heavenly King's strength, it can help you achieve a state of harmony with the heavens and man. In just an instant, Li Yi comprehended many supernatural powers and mysteries, and some bottlenecks also disappeared under the blessing of this mysterious power.
Previously, Li Yi was hindered in his progress due to the limitations imposed by his bloodline while nurturing divine blood. However, with the support of this mysterious power, these limitations have been loosened.
If one were to rely on the power of the Chaos Heavenly Stele for an extended period of time, it would indeed be possible to cultivate to the Heavenly Emperor Realm in one go.
“It is indeed an extraordinary treasure, but unfortunately, I am unable to take it away with my power.” Li Yi’s eyes flashed. He had already noticed that in another part of the Chaos Sea, Heavenly Kings were crossing over.
That's the Heavenly King of the Thunder Department.
He commanded the divine thunder of the nine heavens, splitting open a corner of chaos, and then three incomplete Heavenly Kings rushed out.
They were panting and still shaken, clearly having paid a heavy price to get here.
"The deeper you go into the Sea of Chaos, the more terrifying it becomes." Fire King of the Thunder Department had a gloomy expression. There were a total of sixteen Heavenly Kings in their Thunder Department group, but only the three of them made it to the end.
He then opened his palm, and six primordial spirits appeared. Then, the energy of heaven and earth condensed and transformed into six Heavenly Kings of the Thunder Department. However, their faces were pale, their auras were weak, and their strength was no longer at its peak.
"I'm sorry, I only managed to save six of you; the other seven perished completely," Fire King said with deep remorse.
"Huo Yuan, this is not your fault. We all know how dangerous the Chaos Qi is. Once you embark on this path, you are prepared to perish." The Thunder Kings who had been resurrected all shook their heads slightly, showing no intention of blaming Huo Yuan.
In the face of the chaotic energy engulfing everyone, it was fortunate that six people managed to preserve their primordial spirits.
Just as Fire King was about to speak, his gaze shifted and he looked at Li Yi, who was standing on the Chaos Stele in the distance.
At this moment, the ten Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Clan crossed the Chaos Sea unharmed, each possessing astonishing combat power. If they were to make a move now, the Thunder Division members would be instantly wiped out.
However, if we pay such a high price and then return empty-handed, no one can accept it.
If all else fails, we will use the power of the Thunder Emperor in a desperate fight.
Li Yi stared at the people from the Thunder Department for a moment, then shifted his gaze to another direction.
With a mournful cry, a huge black phoenix king successfully broke out of the Chaos Sea. Its body was eroded and broken, with its bones exposed, and it was almost dead.
But they were still clinging to life and had not been wiped out in the Sea of Chaos.
But this black Phoenix King is the last survivor of the Phoenix Clan. If he also perishes, then the other Phoenix Clan Heavenly Kings will not even have the chance to be reborn.
At this moment, Black Phoenix King also noticed Li Yi's gaze. Although he was seriously injured and barely clinging to life, his eyes were still sharp, and he was ready to fight to the death.
Finally, Li Yi withdrew his gaze, turned around, and left.
He did not choose to take action.
Firstly, there are many powerful clans that have crossed the Chaos Sea. Although they have all suffered losses, they still possess the ability to fight to the death. Secondly, Li Yi does not want to make too many enemies. He cannot kill everyone in one fell swoop by relying solely on the Celestial Clan. Moreover, several members of the Thunder Department have connections with the Divine Punishment King.
After thinking it over, he gave up.
Upon seeing Li Yi disappear, both the Thunder Clan and the Phoenix Clan breathed a sigh of relief.
They had finally crossed the Chaos Sea, and the opportunity was right in front of them. They didn't want to fight to the death and end up with nothing.
The Chaos Stele is large enough that it feels like a world when you get close to it, and it can accommodate everyone who wants to cultivate there.
Li Yi sat down on a spot on the Chaos Heavenly Stele. He closed his eyes and remained still, beginning to try to guide that mysterious power into his body, using this power to nurture divine blood and fill the Mystic Gate.
The other celestial kings of the various celestial races are also seizing this opportunity to cultivate.
However, some people are still trying to uncover the secrets of the Chaos Stele.
But it is undoubtedly a waste of time.
After studying it for a while, they realized what was happening and immediately sat down on the Heavenly Stele, found a place to begin their cultivation, and seized this hard-won opportunity.
Subsequently, other powerful races also crossed the Chaos Sea and joined the cultivation of the Chaos Heavenly Stele.
However, every powerful clan paid a heavy price. They all suffered losses, and some clans even lacked successors and were completely wiped out in the Chaos Sea, leaving no trace of their bodies or souls.
However, none of this concerns the rest of the people.
Everyone is doing their utmost to improve their cultivation at this moment, hoping to overcome that hurdle and become the new Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Kings who can cultivate on the Chaos Heavenly Stele are all extraordinary beings. If given some time, they will definitely be able to break through to the next realm.
But everyone understands.
The first one to break through to the Heavenly Emperor level is the most important; everyone else will become mere supporting characters and will eventually have to leave this place obediently, without even having the right to challenge them.
