Chapter 537 532: Visitor from Beyond the Heavens?

The Great Li Capital City, the army from Li Mountain was stationed outside the Imperial Palace, with hundreds of thousands of cultivators standing proudly, confronting the court's forces.

Above the main street outside the Imperial Palace, a divine demon figure sat cross-legged in the sky, its majestic form visible to cultivators from afar.

"Is he cultivating?"

Countless cultivators in the capital watched from a distance, as threads of light descended from the sky, the divine demon body bathed in unparalleled Sword Intent.

"Leading an army into the capital and cultivating outside the Imperial Palace, while the entire city can watch; in this world, who else dares such a feat?" People marveled at the divine demon's presence.

"Emperor Li personally promised saints will not act against those below the saint realm, and below that realm, he is already invincible in the world."

"Decades ago, his first entry into the capital defeated all the world's prodigies, and today, he is the foremost below the saint realm. Sitting outside the Imperial Palace, his courage is peerless. However, now the most troubled must be the one inside the palace, unsure of how to decide."

If Emperor Li takes action, he would break his promise in front of the world.

Saints won't emerge, and no one can touch him; they can only watch him cultivate, while his forces encircle the Da Li Imperial Palace.

In the sky, a figure walked forward, standing in front of the divine demon body. Despite appearing insignificant, he confidently spoke toward the direction of the palace, "The Da Li court is colluding with demons, harming cultivators. Now defeated, their time is up, no longer fit to be the rightful ruler of Da Li."

This voice was like a thunderclap, echoing across hundreds of miles, causing the true dragon aura in the sky over the capital to become restless, its power seemingly weakening.

That was originally the manifestation of the Da Li court's fate, but now Li Fan's actions were suppressing the court's fate.

Li Mountain now boasts two saints; below the saint realm, Li Fan is invincible, leading the army to defeat the coalition of three top forces. In this regard, Li Mountain indeed qualifies to replace the court as the rightful ruler of the world.

"There's also Taiping Temple and Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, self-proclaimed leaders of Buddhist and Taoist sects, yet already decayed. Only Li Mountain, for thousands of years, has taken the task of slaying demons and eliminating demons as their mission. During the demon calamity, Li Mountain's great cultivators descended the mountain, fell into a trap, causing the fate of Li Mountain Sword Dao to decline. Later, Li Fan received the legacy from Li Mountain ancestors, becoming the new generation Li Mountain Sword Master. In his youth, he faced a demon disaster, then descended the mountain for training, quelled the demon troubles, joined an academy for cultivation, subdued the great demon of Yun Meng Swamp, preventing further calamities, refined sword in Chi Xiao City, quelled demons in West Sea, sought the Dao in White Jade, challenged Dao in the capital, pacified the South Sea Divine Kingdom, and now he is invincible below the saint realm. If he enters the Saint Realm, his sword will dominate the world."

Shi Dao Ren's voice echoed further, at this moment, wearing a Daoist robe, bearing an immortal demeanor, glowing with brilliance, he continued, "Decades ago, His Majesty the late Emperor of Da Li worked tirelessly to rid the world of demons, yet unexpectedly perished, leaving a mystery that remains unsolved, leaving behind an heir, a cultivator of Li Mountain."

"The cycle of the Great Dao, the change of destiny, the court's decay, their days are numbered; Li Mountain wishes to inherit Da Li's orthodoxy and protect all living beings in the world."

Space within hundreds of miles, countless cultivators in the Great Li Capital City quieted down.

Li Mountain, seeks to replace, become the rightful ruler of Da Li.

Li Mountain Sword Master, Li Fan, could be the new emperor of Da Li.

They looked again toward the direction of the Da Li Imperial Palace, only to see an extreme pressure pervading between heaven and earth, as if a True Dragon manifesting, its dual pupils emitting terrifying demon light.

Shi Dao Ren's action is to usurp the world's fate of Da Li.

"Audacious!"

A reprimand came from the sky, causing the cultivators in the capital to shiver, as a true golden dragon materialized in the sky above the Imperial Palace, spiraling across the vast palace.

The golden dragon extended its claws forward, immediately making countless people feel as if the sun and moon lost their light above their heads, as an enormous golden claw tore the sky, falling above Li Fan's head, even compared to the divine demon body it appeared infinitesimal.

Two strands of Sword Intent appeared simultaneously, but the divine demon opened its eyes, rumbling sounds shocking heaven and earth, the divine demon rose, its spine like a dragon, as Dragon Shadow soared to the sky, and in the sky appeared a pair of eyes, sun and moon pupils, gazing at the descending golden dragon claw.

The Power of the Sun and Moon descended upon the golden dragon claw, yet still unable to stop it, the claw tore through the divine fire and cold ice, continuing downward.

Li Fan raised his hand, Shattering Immortal Fist smashed toward the sky, a terrifying fist light pierced the heavens, crashing onto the golden dragon claw.

The golden dragon claw cracked with lines, disintegrating and shattering in the air.

Li Fan gazed toward the golden dragon spiraling above the Imperial City, Divine Demon Eyes staring into the demon dragon's eyes, he felt as if the golden dragon embodied life.

"What brazen words, I shall see how you can bear the world's fate of Da Li." The golden dragon spoke in human voice, its body spiraled, head raised toward the sky, spewing golden divine light.

The terrifying golden divine light seemed to break through the sky, causing cracks to appear in the firmament, golden divine radiance descending from outside the sky, falling upon the Da Li Imperial Palace, enveloping the entire palace in a layer of glow.

"This is..."

Cultivators in the capital looked up toward the sky.

Is there an immortal in the Da Li Imperial Palace?

Or perhaps, is there an immortal in the Da Li Ye Family?

Li Fan also gazed toward the sky above the Da Li Imperial Palace direction, the court surely holds secrets unknown to him, but what these secrets are remains unclear.

As for the immortal?

Previously it was speculated this world has tales of ascension, but in the Da Li World there seems to be no word of an immortal's descent, and ascension remains a legend, even ancient cultivators who left secret realms only underwent Transformation.

Then, has anyone truly ascended to become an immortal?

The entire capital and countless cultivators were all awed by the scene before them, as Li Mountain seeks to seize the world's fate, replace the Ye Family as the rightful ruler, it seems far from simple.

Could the Da Li Ye Family rule the world with the blessings of Heavenly Dao's fate?

"What is that?"

A beam of strong light descended within the Imperial Palace amidst the golden glow, Li Fan's pupils slightly contracted; he seemed to have seen something just now.

Did someone fall?

No, if someone descended, he should have noticed.

Moreover, there's no movement from the teacher over there. There are two Saints present; if someone descended, it couldn't escape their eyes.

From the direction of the palace camp, a youthful figure bathed in the glow appeared.

He was draped in luxurious clothing, holding a long spear, reflecting the golden light, like a descendant of an Immortal, stunningly beautiful.

"Hmm?"

Li Fan fixed his Divine Demon Eyes on the newcomer, only to see the light of the Great Dao swirling unceasingly around him, already nearing the Saint's Path.

Is this the Half-Saint Realm?

However, Li Fan had never seen this person before. Previously, at the Li Mountain battle, the opponent's elite had all appeared, and the Half-Saint cultivators had shown themselves. So where did this Half-Saint come from now?

Moreover, Ye Changge was still defeated by his hand, and he had slain two of the three Half-Saints. Wouldn't this person appearing signify that he's stronger than Ye Changge?

How could there be such a person within the Da Li Imperial Palace?

It wasn't just Li Fan; everyone was focused on the emerging figure.

The crack above the palace scattered golden divine light, bathing him, seemingly augmented by the golden dragon aura.

As he moved forward, Li Fan actually felt a hint of threat.

The figure's long spear quivered, and he glanced at Li Fan. In the next instant, he stepped, and a phantom appeared in the air, as his figure vanished from where he stood.

In front of Li Fan, a streak of spear light appeared, not dazzlingly bright, but when it appeared, space seemed to tear, like a black hole.

A pitch-black crack pierced straight towards Li Fan's Divine Demon Body, approaching the limit, Li Fan's grand and towering Divine Demon Body found it impossible to dodge under such circumstances.

Yet the Divine Demon Body's physical form was unparalleled, unshaken even by three Half-Saints before.

The light patterns of the Great Dao circulated on the Divine Demon Body, seeming to clad it in Great Dao armor.

"Boom..."

The spear tip struck the Divine Demon Body, the pitch-black crack seeming to devour everything, tearing apart the Great Dao armor on the Divine Demon Body, and landed on the body itself.

"Splurt..."

Blood splattered out, but Li Fan's body retreated to a distant spot. He looked down at his own body, noticing a small hole appeared in his chest and abdomen. Had he not retreated, the hole would have been deeper.

Moreover, at that very moment, when the spear fell, an extremely terrifying force was concentrated at one point, like the entire Power of the Great Dao exploding at once.

"An outsider from beyond the skies?"

Li Fan looked up towards the figure opposite him, who did not continue attacking but floated in the air, standing across from Li Fan. Although his body seemed exceptionally small, bathed in divine light towering in the sky, resembling an Immortal from above.

The people in the Capital held their breaths, gazing at the battlefield.

That collision just now had no brilliant spectacle, nor terrifying aftermath, yet it seemed like the ultimate use of power.

"Who is that?"

Countless eyes fixed upon the emerging figure; what Ye Changge couldn't accomplish, this person did.

Is there such an existence in the Da Li Imperial Palace?

If Li Fan couldn't even defeat this one person, then how could he speak of inheriting the fortune of the Great Li World?

"A flesh body that has become the Dao, with strong power and defense, yet, it merely stops there." The person raised the long spear in their hand, under the golden glow, exuding an air of the Immortal.

The cultivators from Li Mountain looked at the sky with a hint of tension; Li Fan, who could suppress three Half-Saints, was injured by a single spear. Such combat strength left them breathless.

Li Fan gazed towards the direction of the Imperial Palace; within the palace, there lay the Immortal Gazing Platform, where he had been trapped by the Emperor Li for a period to cultivate, facing several strong figures who humiliated him in turn, forcing him to bow his head.

The people appearing at that time also made him feel strange, and now, was this figure the same kind of person as them?

"Your spear technique is acceptable."

Li Fan pondered for a moment, looking towards the figure opposite, saying: "If you are an outsider from beyond the skies, then it seems that the celestial Immortals are merely like this."
