The Post Sky Tipping Era-Chapter 1207 - 969: Heavenly God Platform

On the third day.

Li Yi, along with the five Heavenly Kings—Cold Mountain, Black Ice, Seven Emotions, Frost-shocking, and Tiger Guardian—and dozens of Divine Generals, stepped into the Secret Realm where the Heavenly God Platform was located, riding on Xiangyun and treading on Divine Light.

When he arrived, many people were already there.

Three Divine Emperors, like three blazing suns, presided over the starry sky, radiating endless Emperor Light, as if they wanted to illuminate the entire starry sky, bathing everyone in the majesty of the Emperor.

Beneath the Divine Emperors were numerous Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly God Clan.

There were Direct Lineage Heavenly Kings, Royal Family Heavenly Kings, and many Divine Generals. Some were not even from the Heavenly God Clan; they might be guests of the Heavenly God Clan or just passing through, thus wanting to watch the battle.

But most notably, there were five people standing near the Heavenly God Platform.

Their auras were as deep as an abyss, immovable and majestic. Upon seeing Taiyi appear, their gazes shifted, revealing astonishing battle intent, all coveting the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon.

"Are those the chosen ones most likely to defeat me, the strongest of the Heavenly God Clan?" Li Yi regarded them calmly, without a hint of fear.

Rising from Earth, he had fought and killed across realms countless times, facing life and death; he never backed down in battles of the same realm, possessing an extraordinary aura.

"Taiyi Heavenly King has arrived. Sure enough, he is young, and even from afar, one can feel the abundant and youthful Life Force on him."

"The new Direct Lineage Royal Family indeed is a prodigy. It’s said that while still in the Heavenly General Realm, he snatched the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon from a group of Heavenly Kings, which is simply a miracle in the Heavenly Realm."

"It’s said that Taiyi was discovered by Emperor Haoguang from a World Boat; back then, Taiyi was being hunted by the Rakshasa Clan, but during the battle, he revealed his Divine Body."

Countless eyes focused on Li Yi, with some interested in his age, some in his experiences, and others in his past. As discussions ensued, information about him gradually spread throughout the Heavenly God Country, becoming well-known.

This could be considered fame.

However, now people were more concerned about who would ultimately claim the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon in his hands. It’s known that the five selected Heavenly Kings are all potential future Divine Emperors, possessing extraordinary potential and terrifying combat power.

The Direct Lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family was eliminated, illustrating the fierce competition.

"Taiyi."

At this moment, Emperor Haoguang spoke, his voice resonating in the Secret Realm: "In the battle on the Heavenly God Platform, do you know the consequences if you lose?"

He asked one last time, lest the people of the Heavenly God Clan believe that Li Yi was forced into this competition.

Even if there was some truth to it, at least the appearances needed to be maintained.

"If I lose this battle, I will gift this Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, the Time Emperor Furnace, to the victor. What if I win?" Li Yi flipped his hand, and the Time Emperor Furnace appeared.

He tossed it towards the starry sky.

This Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon suddenly transformed into an Emperor Furnace as large as a star, spewing yin and yang energy that nearly enveloped the entire starry sky.

"So this is the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon in Taiyi’s hand? Truly extraordinary."

"A Heavenly King Soldier is simply incomparable to it. If one could obtain it, I can’t imagine any Heavenly King being able to defeat him."

"It’s a new Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon; its extraordinary properties are unknown."

The moment people saw this Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, their gazes became fervent, especially the five strong contestants, who stared intently at the Time Emperor Furnace, as if it was already theirs.

Li Yi did not conceal anything; he boldly placed the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon in the starry sky, displaying it for everyone to see.

After all, it wasn’t a secret anymore.

Moreover, with three Divine Emperors present, he wasn’t worried about the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon being taken. If a Divine Emperor wanted to seize it, he wouldn’t resist and would just give it away.

"If you win, you may demand anything from the loser, including taking their life," Emperor Haoguang stated. "I will guarantee this."

He then glanced at the other two Divine Emperors and the five Heavenly Kings.

The crowd remained silent; no one objected.

After all, to claim someone else’s Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon, it would only be fair for them to offer one in return. But clearly, no one could produce one, so risking their life and assets was the only option.

"Very well, then I accept this wager," Li Yi announced, his voice echoing.

The entire Heavenly God Clan heard it, leaving no room for anyone to go back on their word. If someone reneged on the agreement, Li Yi wouldn’t have to take action; everyone would eliminate that defeatist from the clan—a promise even the Direct Lineage Royal Family wouldn’t dare break.

After everything was settled, Li Yi wasted no time and immediately revealed his Divine Body.

Instantly.

The towering 720-zhang Divine Body stood in the starry sky, interwoven with countless purple lightning bolts. Terrifying Divine Power surged, as if shaking the Secret Realm.

This mighty giant, stepping on Divine Light and bathing in shocking thunder, strode onto the Heavenly God Platform and voluntarily removed all his armor.

Fighting within the Heavenly God Clan traditionally meant removing one’s armor, for fairness.

Besides, if he didn’t remove his armor, it would be more advantageous for Li Yi, as he only needed to wield the Time Emperor Furnace to crush his opponents, with no Heavenly King able to withstand it.

"A 720-zhang Divine Body? Is this the Bloodline Power of a Direct Lineage Heavenly King? Simply outrageous. I’m also a Heavenly King, yet my Divine Body is only 300 zhang. The Royal Family’s Heavenly King’s Divine Body is only 365 zhang."

Many Heavenly Kings were astonished after witnessing the size of Li Yi’s Divine Body.

The West Water Heavenly King, Southern Earth Heavenly King, and Heavenly King Dikui, previously suppressed by Taiyi, now hung their heads, not daring to look directly at the Divine Body.

They knew Taiyi’s Divine Body was unique because even the Direct Lineage Heavenly King’s Divine Body reached only about 600 zhang, not 720 zhang.

Thus, Taiyi’s bloodline surpassed that of the Direct Lineage Heavenly King.

"A 720-zhang Divine Body... damn it." On a World Boat, the Divine Flying Heavenly King immediately clenched his fists, his face flushed with anger upon seeing this scene.

His Divine Body measured only six hundred and twenty zhang, yet Taiyi Heavenly King surpassed him by a full hundred zhang.

Although the size of a Divine Body does not determine the outcome of a battle, in the Heavenly God Clan, such a Divine Body represents bloodline, a testament to strength.

Once manifested, it commands the respect of all kings.

"Indeed, Taiyi Heavenly King is extraordinary."

The newly allied Black Ice Heavenly King, Seven Emotions Heavenly King, and others showed signs of surprise; they hadn’t anticipated Taiyi’s bloodline to be so formidable, no wonder there was confidence to challenge the entire Heavenly God Clan.

Within the Royal Family, kings capable of having a Divine Body over seven hundred and twenty zhang are likely very few, if any at all.

Those who previously doubted Taiyi’s strength fell silent upon witnessing this Divine Body, even Li Yi didn’t need to display his prowess as they were already convinced.

Yet the faces of the five challengers grew solemn at this moment.

Such a deep-rooted bloodline indeed holds terrifying potential; daring to wager with the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon to duel the entire Heavenly God Clan wasn’t mere recklessness—it truly had the capital.

"No need for words, who comes forward for the first battle?" Li Yi’s eyes flashed like lightning as he let out a thunderous shout, a vast aura spreading across the starry sky, an invincible will from the Barbaric World unfolding.

Everyone sensing this will felt a chill in their hearts.

This is... the feel of a monster.

Has this guy never lost since his cultivation began? How did he nurture such a terrifying aura of invincibility?

Remember, the Heavenly Realm is vast, with strong contenders aplenty; there’s always a higher mountain. Many have lost before, but these are merely part of growing and honing.

However, the invincible aura of Taiyi Heavenly King was quite moving.

Could there really be someone unbeaten in a hundred battles, breaking realms all the way to becoming a Heavenly King?

"A Heavenly King with an undefeated record? Such an unbelievable feat—good, very good, he’s worth a fight." An Old Heavenly King squinted his eyes at this moment, his battle intent reaching its peak.

He was just about to move but was stopped.

"Tomb Heavenly King, although you’re a direct lineage of the Royal Family, now is not the time to discuss identity; who challenges Taiyi first isn’t up to you." A towering man with two horns on his head rebuked.

His name was Dragon God Heavenly King, a hybrid of the Heavenly God Clan and True Dragon Clan.

Tomb Heavenly King shot a glance: "It’s simple, let the Divine Emperor decide."

No one objected, seeking direction from the three Divine Emperors.

The order of appearances was incredibly vital as it was tied to the opportunity to seize the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon; if one were last, they might as well forget it.

Everyone wanted to take the lead.

The three Divine Emperors understood this logic, exchanged a glance, and a faint Emperor Light flew out, splitting into five before shining upon the five in front of them.

Clearly, they were allowing everyone to draw lots to decide.

Primal and fair.

Moreover, under the veil of Emperor Light, the Heavenly Kings could perceive nothing inside, utterly unaware of what it held.

Without any hesitation, the five Heavenly Kings each reached out to fetch a bundle of light.

As the bundles of light dissipated, numbers floated out one by one.

"Seems my luck is good," Dragon God Heavenly King grinned; he drew number one, obtaining the first chance to challenge Taiyi Heavenly King.

Beside him, Tomb Heavenly King’s expression wasn’t as good; he was number four.

"Then, I won’t be polite."

The next moment.

Dragon God Heavenly King, resembling a raging dragon beast, charged onto the Heavenly God Platform, not hesitating to manifest his true form midway.

However, his Divine Body differed from all others; his five hundred zhang Divine Body was covered in patches of black Dragon Scales, bearing fierce Dragon Horns on his head, even a black Dragon Tail extending beyond his spine, with a pair of cold, murderous golden eyes.

Dragon God Heavenly King seemed to be a fusion of a Heavenly God and a True Dragon, within his terrifying aura, carried the majesty of the Divine and the momentum of a True Dragon.

While most hybrids tend to be weaker than purebloods, Dragon God Heavenly King was an exception; he perfectly fused the strengths of two powerful races, Heavenly God and True Dragon, or else his Divine Body wouldn’t reach five hundred zhang, nearing the direct lineage of the Royal Family.

"A hybrid, is it?" Seeing this, Li Yi reminisced about the Abnormal Blood Warrior Long Yu he once subdued in the Barbaric World; he was a hybrid too.

Unexpectedly, one could also be seen in the Heavenly Realm.

"Truly an anomaly, having a hybrid achieving such a state is indeed rare. Under the collision of bloodlines, to elevate an ordinary Heavenly God Clan bloodline to this level is unimaginable."

"His other half’s True Dragon Bloodline must be rather pure; otherwise, he couldn’t evolve a five hundred zhang Divine Body. Looks like the essence in his Skillful Gate isn’t Divine Blood, but Dragon Blood, no wonder his strength is so terrifying."

"Remarkable, the mix of two bloodlines surpassed the Royal Family and nearly caught up with the direct lineage, plus he cultivates dual methods, his combat power must indeed be extremely terrifying."

Although the Heavenly God Clan looks down on many races, the True Dragon Clan is an exception, as the True Dragon Clan is considered even stronger than the Heavenly God Clan.

As the various Heavenly Kings assessed the Dragon God Heavenly King, they roughly discerned some of his circumstances.

Yet others thought that reaching the Heavenly King Realm was the limit for such a hybrid; despite terrifying combat prowess, becoming a Divine Emperor would definitely be fraught with challenges.

The power of bloodline is sometimes both an aid and a constraint.

Yet, the Dragon God Heavenly King was aware of this, hence his need for the Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon to comprehend the Heavenly Emperor’s Power, to bridge that chasm, and find his path to becoming a Heavenly Emperor.
