CHAPTER 1335: CHAPTER 478: CALAMITY FACES DEATH [3 UPDATES · SUPPLEMENT]

Li Ping’an brought the ministers of the Heavenly Court to the Southern Heavenly Gate, waiting for the soldiers to gather.

Innumerable streams of light flew from the Jade Pool, and more than twenty thousand female immortals of the Heavenly Court hastily rushed there, led by the divine beast Lu Wu and the sacred bird Qingluan.

Mobilizing the female immortals of the Jade Pool is equivalent to the Heavenly Court unleashing its final strength.

This was a fight to the death.

Fortunately, Li Ping’an had accomplished many great deeds in the past, so he held strong prestige in the Heavenly Court. The immortal beings did not have the slightest objection to following his ’contradictory to common sense’ orders.

Li Ping’an silently calculated in his heart.

The main forces of the Heavenly Court were still in the Misty Realm, and the troops they could mobilize now were not many.

The Jade Pool had just reported that those Dao Soldiers had disappeared without a trace.

By now, Li Ping’an had mostly deduced the entire layout and plotting of his enemies.

Several figures seemed to emerge before his eyes.

Seated firmly at the center ’C’ position was naturally the Kunpeng. To Kunpeng’s left was Minghe, and to the right was the Calamity Honored One. Behind these three, there was a temporarily blurry figure holding the Chaos Bell in hand.

The other side’s plan to strike was not complicated.

There was coordination between the inside and outside of heaven and earth.

In fact, their plan was very simple. The only difficulty was deceiving the Heavenly Dao to create an alliance.

If they truly held the Chaos Bell, achieving this would not be difficult.

There must be many more details to this...

Kunpeng first stirred from Xuan Capital City, sending back the Calamity Honored One to create misleading information? So that they would think the Calamity Honored One and his fierce demons were the key to the situation.

Was the Calamity Honored One actually just a decoy?

Li Ping’an felt that what had been unclear before now had a rough outline.

The current collaborators should be Kunpeng, Minghe, and the still unexposed holder of the Chaos Bell.

The Jade Pool used the Heavenly Patrol Mirror and Kunlun Mirror together to investigate, confirming that among those small heavens controlled by the Western Sect, the Dao Soldiers were gone, and the fierce demons were missing.

If there was a Chaos Bell, any number of Dao Soldiers could be transported to a designated location in almost no time perceivable by ordinary beings.

Li Ping’an speculated that the Dao Soldiers had been sent to the Sea of Blood.

Minghe could create the Asura tribe and strengthen these Dao Soldiers with the power of the Sea of Blood, which was not difficult at all.

It was still the Chaos Bell.

The Chaos Bell could infinitely stretch a moment perceivable by living beings, so transforming the Dao Soldiers in the Sea of Blood would certainly only take a ’brief’ moment.

Is there no limit to the use of the Chaos Bell?

The balance among heaven and earth should exist... Ah, the Chaos Bell is one of the three pieces in the creation set, and it’s the most special one, perhaps with no sense of balance at all.

’That being the case, the offensive outside Xuan Capital City is truly a show of force?’

’Although Kunpeng possesses the method to control Innate Gods and Demons, he should also rely on the Chaos Bell to control so many in such a short time.’

’The holder of the Chaos Bell should have been found by Kunpeng after the battle at the Undying Volcano; otherwise, given such a good opportunity, they should have acted.’

’Who is using the Chaos Bell for evil?’

’What are their motives?’

Li Ping’an raised his hand and rubbed his brow.

Even though Kunpeng might be bluffing in Xuan Capital City, if masters from the Taoist Sect return to the world, Kunpeng might truly launch a full-scale offensive.

They were simply employing an open strategy.

The key causing such passivity lay in... the Chaos Bell.

Li Ping’an slightly adjusted the images in his mind, placing the Calamity Honored One below, adding the figure of ’Xihe’ beside, and using Daoist Luya to represent the remaining forces of the ancient Demon Race.

He observed the figure of Minghe the Ancestor and continued calculating along this line of thought.

’Minghe’s motive should be self-preservation, along with opposing the Human Race and the Heavenly Court. Although it’s said that as long as the Sea of Blood does not dry, Minghe will not die, in another way, Minghe is also trapped in the Sea of Blood.’

’The Heavenly Court and the Human Race have long harbored the intent to kill Minghe. The Human Emperor is looking for a way to dry up the Sea of Blood, while the Heavenly Court waits for Houtu to comprehend the Samsara Path.’

’This should be Minghe’s last struggle.’

’Kunpeng’s motive is temporarily unclear, but he must have significant schemes.’

’As for the holder of the Chaos Bell, logically, this person has already become the top Great Power in the world, with strength only second to the still absent Six Saints. Why is he targeting the Heavenly Court?’

’They must have a common goal.’

’The common goals of Kunpeng and Minghe are obvious, none other than Brother Xuanyuan.’

’Kunpeng seeks revenge, Minghe seeks self-preservation. Their joint counterattack against Brother Xuanyuan is not unreasonable. Then this unseen strongman, does he bear a grudge against Brother Xuanyuan?’

Li Ping’an paused slightly.

The White-robed Celestial Emperor’s calamity foresaw... the mysteriously vanished Xing Tian...

Is the target of the holder of the Chaos Bell actually himself?

Li Ping’an looked down at himself, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, feeling a chill down his spine.

If that is indeed the case, his earlier solitary outing riding the Qingluan bird was akin to dancing on the edge of life and death?

Li Ping’an turned around, using a transformation technique to take on Ye Zisang’s form, swiftly donned armor, and turned to face the ministers of the Heavenly Court staring blankly at his back.

"For the time being, I am Ye Zisang. Please just call me General Ye."

The ministers bowed their heads in compliance.

Li Ping’an retreated to the rear of the ministers.

A few senior ministers, sensing Li Ping’an’s reservations, immediately took the initiative to step forward, arranging troops as if Li Ping’an were not present.

Li Ping’an stood with hands behind his back, continuing to strategize.

There weren’t really any good strategies.
