The Post Sky Tipping Era-Chapter 1224 - 986: Commander

After Li Yi entered the Imperial Palace, a few days passed, and one or two other unfamiliar Heavenly Kings were also invited in, making a total of ten people including himself.

Then the gates of the Imperial Palace closed.

This meant that this time the three Divine Emperors only summoned ten Heavenly Kings.

Without a doubt, these ten Heavenly Kings were the powerful Heavenly Kings carefully selected within the Heavenly God Clan. The reason Li Yi was not selected was that his strength had already been demonstrated on the Heavenly God Platform, earning everyone’s trust, making him a presence directly named by the three Divine Emperors.

"Ten people, huh? It seems our Heavenly God Clan’s numbers for this Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm are a bit low," the Dragon God Heavenly King remarked in a deep voice.

The Divine Emperor’s Son spoke, "That’s because during the last Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, our Heavenly God Clan’s experts were besieged and nearly wiped out by the enemies, so due to our lack of skill, our quota for the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm has been reduced this time. I heard the True Dragon Clan has eighteen slots, how many does the Thunder Department have?"

"The Thunder Department has sixteen slots," the Divine Punishment Heavenly King said with a slight bow.

"Even the Rakshasa Clan has twelve slots, so this time we must avenge the disgrace, otherwise we will be ridiculed by other strong clans in the Heavenly Realm," the Tomb Heavenly King said seriously.

"Our Heavenly God Clan, born strong, combined with our small numbers, makes us a target for other strong clans. If it’s one-on-one, who in the entire Heavenly Realm dares say they can defeat our Heavenly God Clan?" The Divine Emperor’s Son snorted heavily, "This time, if I join forces with the Taiyi Heavenly King, no matter how many enemies come, they will die."

The expressions of the others became strange. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The strength of the Taiyi Heavenly King is such that he doesn’t need to team up to annihilate all rivals.

That’s an existence that has already condensed Emperor Light, and with the addition of the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, as long as the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t intervene, entering the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm would mean being an invincible existence.

Three Divine Emperors personally naming him carries significant weight.

Li Yi remained silent, not participating in the discussion.

For others, this kind of thing is an honor, but for him, it’s a hassle. He is a relatively low-key person, always wanting to quietly develop after entering the Heavenly Realm.

However, things did not go as planned. He was first targeted by the Rakshasa Clan, then joined the Heavenly God Clan. He thought he could lean on a big tree and cultivate quietly, but ended up getting involved with the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon because of Hua Qing, ultimately having to forcibly break through to become a Heavenly King to protect the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, overpowering rivals...

They waited in the Imperial Palace for a full half month.

On this day.

Three brilliant Emperor Lights shone from the Imperial Palace, and the figures of Divine Emperor Zhenyue, Nine Heavens Divine Emperor, and Emperor Haoguang appeared.

"These are the three strands of Divine Emperor’s Power we left behind. Due to changes in the Chaos World, the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm is opening early. Our true selves have already headed to the Chaos World. Whether you can seize this opportunity is up to you," the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor immediately said.

Divine Emperor Zhenyue spoke, "All clans’ experts have set their plans. Be cautious, once you enter the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, follow Taiyi Heavenly King’s lead, do not act recklessly."

"Remember, do not use the Heavenly Emperor’s Power in the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, or it will attract the Heavenly Venerate’s killing intent, bringing endless troubles."

Hearing this, Li Yi suddenly understood.

No wonder the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm is left for Heavenly Kings to explore; it turns out there’s a presence of the Heavenly Venerate’s killing intent, so the Divine Emperors venture into the Chaos World.

"Taiyi, this time we’ll see how you perform. Once inside the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, seizing opportunities is minor, but exterminating other formidable enemies is major. Do not tarnish our Heavenly God Clan’s prestige," Emperor Haoguang advised earnestly.

"Respect the Emperor’s Order," Li Yi stood up and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.

So they wanted him to kill people.

Although this is what he excels at, if truly pushed to the limit, others will surely use the Heavenly Emperor’s Power to perish together with him.

Just thinking about it gives him a headache.

"There’s no time to lose; we will depart now. Our three strands of Heavenly Emperor’s Power will escort you to the Ninth Layer of Heaven," Divine Emperor Zhenyue said.

It seemed truly urgent.

As soon as the words were spoken, the figures of the three Divine Emperors vanished, replaced by their three strands of Divine Emperor’s Power, directly enveloping the ten people in the Imperial Palace, transforming into a heaven-opening Divine Light that tore through the Seventh Heaven, heading straight for the Ninth Layer of Heaven.

Li Yi didn’t even have a chance to refuse.

This was completely beyond his control.

However, Li Yi had anticipated such a situation, so he did not complain. He quickly adjusted his state, preparing to deal with the upcoming situation.

Soon.

Under the escort of the Divine Emperor’s Power, they rushed directly from the Seventh Heaven into the Ninth Layer of Heaven.

Within the Ninth Layer of Heaven, heaven and earth were undefined, seemingly like in the initial chaos, with yin and yang intertwined, replaying earth, wind, water, and fire, sometimes the world reappeared, sometimes evolving into chaos.

In such an environment, cultivators simply cannot reside here, so there are no strong clans settled in the Ninth Layer of Heaven, only cultivators coming in search of opportunities.

Without the power of a Heavenly King, walking in the Ninth Layer of Heaven is fraught with danger.

Even they can’t afford to be careless.

Because in the histories of all clans, there are records of Heavenly Kings being struck dead by a chaos divine thunder or blown to death by a chaos gang wind.

Only strong individuals in the Heavenly Emperor Realm can move unimpeded in the Ninth Layer of Heaven.

Here, the Divine Emperor’s Power did not dissipate but continued to envelop the ten people, charging into the land of initial chaos.

Strangely enough.

When the group passed through a dangerous area, their view suddenly opened up, and they entered an infinite chaotic starry sky, which seemed to be filled with a mighty power.

This power stabilized earth, wind, water, and fire, and yin and yang qi, allowing a temporary respite here.

Then the Divine Emperor’s Power began to dissipate, and everyone was revealed.

"Wait here, the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm will open soon," Emperor Haoguang left these words before disappearing completely.

The other two Divine Emperors were the same.

At this moment, the Divine Emperor’s Son pointed ahead and said, "The Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm is sealed by the joint forces of the Heavenly Venerates from the strong clans in the Heavenly Realm. It’s clearly in front of us, but we cannot see it. It will only open at the same time for everyone after the clans have agreed upon it. It’s very strange this time because according to the previous agreement, it’s not yet time for the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm to open. It should be at least three thousand years later."

He was the son of Divine Emperor Zhenyue, so he knew some secret matters.

"Perhaps, just as the three Divine Emperors said, there have been changes in the Chaos World this time, so the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm was opened early." Tomb Heavenly King said with a slight change in expression, curious about what exactly happened in that Chaos World that attracted the Divine Emperors of the Heavenly Realm.

"Over there seem to be people from the Rakshasa Clan. Indeed, they’ve arrived long ago, no less than twelve Heavenly Kings." Dragon God Heavenly King glanced over, sensing a presence in the distance.

"Not only them, but the True Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, Heavenly Human Clan, Thunder Department, and Human Race Taoism... they’ve all come." The one speaking was a Female Heavenly King, who seemed to have a kind of Divine Skill for perception and locating.

"In that case, at least hundreds of top-tier Heavenly Kings have gathered. If our Heavenly God Clan were besieged, it would be troublesome." Tomb Heavenly King’s face showed worry.

Under the condition of limited slots, no strong clan can afford to be besieged, but this situation happens often. Especially for certain clans with exceptional combat power, they almost always face attacks as soon as they enter the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm.

"This time entering the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, everything will be centered around Taiyi Heavenly King, according to the Divine Emperor’s Order." Divine Punishment Heavenly King said.

He supported Li Yi in leading the team.

Not only because of Li Yi’s strong power, but also because his conduct and style were inclusive and trustworthy.

The others looked at Li Yi, seemingly waiting for his statement.

However, Li Yi declined, "The Divine Emperor mentioned it casually. I have just joined the Heavenly God Clan, and I am not qualified to lead the team. Once inside the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, let’s work together."

"The Divine Emperor’s Son has an extraordinary status, and it would be most appropriate for him to lead the team."

He passed this task to the Divine Emperor’s Son.

But the Divine Emperor’s Son quickly shook his head, as a defeated general he had no face to lead. If he had won the last competition on the Heavenly God Platform, he would have rightfully taken the responsibility, but now even if he stood up, he couldn’t convince the crowd.

"Taiyi, you are of Human and God mixed blood, and I understand the temperament of the Human Clan. Declining is just modesty, but here in the Heavenly God Clan, there’s no need for that. Your strength is sufficient, and you are qualified to lead us." Tomb Heavenly King also said.

"Indeed, Taiyi Heavenly King, you have the strongest power and are of the Direct Lineage of the Royal Family. From whichever aspect, you are the most suitable to become our Commander." The Female Heavenly King nodded in agreement.

Li Yi declined several times, and seeing that he couldn’t refuse, he said, "I have no problem being the Commander, but everyone must promise to follow my orders. If there’s anyone unwilling, I won’t be the Commander."

He then glanced at everyone.

The promises of the Heavenly God Clan were still trustworthy.

"No problem, inside the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, I will follow your orders."

"I have no problem either."

"Agreed."

The other Heavenly Kings nodded in agreement, showing no signs of displeasure since facing strong external enemies, they must be united, or they would be easily defeated one by one.

That’s also why the Divine Emperor directly named Li Yi to lead everyone.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, from now on, call me Commander. Once we’re in the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, follow my orders. If you don’t comply, I won’t take it lightly." Li Yi said, "Once we leave the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, my role as Commander is void, and you are free to do as you wish."

"Understood!"

All nine solemnly made their promises.

Li Yi nodded, saying no more.

Since it couldn’t be avoided or evaded, he would be the Commander. At least with this authority, it would be easier to manage things later.

While Li Yi was still discussing.

Soon.

He felt a murderous intent heading toward him.

It was... from the direction of the Rakshasa Clan.

"Why are these Rakshasa Clan people still targeting me?" Li Yi’s lips twitched. Although he knew the Rakshasa Clan had a vindictive nature, he didn’t expect them to target him so intensely.

Alright.

Once in the Heavenly Venerate Secret Realm, I will wipe you out first.

If you are vindictive, then I, Mr. Li, am equally petty.

Li Yi made a silent decision in his heart.

In the following days.

Heavenly King’s Powers escorted groups of Heavenly Kings from the Ninth Layer of Heaven to this place one after another, their energies dissipating after dropping the group.

At the starry sky before them, everything was dead silent, revealing nothing.

But Li Yi could feel a spatial fluctuation ahead, like ripples forming on a water surface.

This situation continued for a full twenty days.

On the twenty-first day.

The spatial ripples grew larger, and then a terrifying Mighty Power from the depths of chaos tore open the space before them, revealing a Secret Realm world.

That world was filled with wandering chaotic aura, terrifying killing intent looming, drifting broken Imperial Palaces, and many interwoven shattered worlds... resembling both a chaotic world and a battlefield, where danger and opportunity coexisted.
