Chapter 1752: Li Taixuan

The refreshing and heroic laughter thundered across the entire hectic battlefield of the Heavenly Star Plains. Everyone's shocked gazes were directed towards the source. The void had collapsed in that location, and a single figure was standing proudly in the sky. His entire body was radiating with resplendent light, causing him to resemble the sun.

At the same time, a terrifying sense of oppression rippled out of that man. Gradually, the mighty pressure started to subside, and everyone could finally see his face clearly. He was a middle-aged man in green robes. He was robustly built and had an extraordinary presence and bearing. His features looked as though they had been carved out with an axe, giving him a heroic appearance.

His face looked extremely similar to Li Luo's; the only difference was that it had clearly experienced the vicissitudes of life and was weathered. His bright eyes contained a hint of happiness, and he had a carefree smile that reassured the people around him. It was as though every trouble in life could be faced with confidence and ease.

The soldiers of the divine continents stared at the man in a daze. This ferocious individual had descended from the sky and immediately turned the tables, leaving them unable to comprehend the fact that they had somehow survived a disaster.

"Dad?!"

"Master!"

However, they were soon awakened by two shouts filled with endless joy. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were the ones who had called out to that man. The countless experts were thus immediately able to deduce who the mysterious newcomer was. He was Li Taixuan from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, Tantai Lan's husband, Li Luo's father, and Jiang Qing'e's master!

On the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's side, Li Qingpeng whooped in joy and excitement, "Third Brother! It really is him!"

His eyes began to water, as it had been decades since Li Taixuan had left the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, and he hadn't seen his brother since.

"Li Taixuan..." Li Tianji, Li Qingying, and Li Xuanwu, the three remaining Lineage Chiefs, glanced at each other in bafflement. They never would've imagined that Li Taixuan would return at such a crucial time and stop the Slaughter Devil King of Sin from obtaining the withering glory resonance.

The other peak powers of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, such as the Bloodlines of Heavenly Emperors Qin, Zhao, and Zhu, were equally stunned. They could still remember how Li Taixuan was the most outstanding talent of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent's younger generation all those years ago. An all-out war had nearly broken out between the Bloodlines of Heavenly Emperors Li and Qin, and this man was at the center of that conflict.

Over the years, those grievances had gradually been forgotten, but Li Taixuan had never been seen again. It was upon seeing him that these memories once again came to the fore.

"Li Taixuan... has also become a ninth-grade Transcendent?" Everyone sighed in amazement.

The fearsome pressure he emanated, plus the fact that he had sent the Slaughter Devil King of Sin flying with a single move, suggested that he was also a ninth-grade Transcendent.

How had their family spawned yet another one? One family with three ninth-grade Transcendents? No, with Jiang Qing'e's talent, it was only a matter of time before she entered the Ninth Transcendent Duke Stage as well. Furthermore, she possessed a natural Genesis Seed. Her foundation and talent made even Kings sigh in awe.

This meant that Li Luo's little family would have four Transcendents! Just how incredible of an achievement was that? There were very few Transcendent Dukes recorded in historical records. However, there were exceptional geniuses in every era, which meant that Transcendent Dukes would inevitably arise. That said, it was unprecedented for a single family to produce four of them. Thus, they could be considered to be the most powerful family since the dawn of creation! They truly possessed all of the luck and fate of the world.

The divine continents' experts couldn't help but feel envious at this thought. However, they still mostly felt ecstatic and joyous. After all, Li Taixuan had turned the situation around.

Meanwhile, Li Taixuan was focused on the two youths in the middle of the battlefield. Deep love and appreciation could be seen in the depths of his eyes as he warmly said, "Little Luo, Little Jiang'e, you've grown up while I was away."

Li Luo immediately pouted, but his heart was filled to the brim with happiness.

He sneered out of habit as he joked, "Aren't you the number four of House Luolan? You've finally decided to come back!"

These words immediately caused Li Taixuan's smile to stiffen, and he shot his son a furious glare. "What kind of crap are you spouting, you little bastard? Your father is clearly number three! You're number four!"

This little brat was still as hateful as when he was a kid, constantly poking at his father's sore spot. He had experienced all sorts of perilous situations in the Nobles' Battlefield, and he had never backed down in the slightest, even when he was pursued by a Grand Devil King. However, a single sentence from his bratty son had almost caused him to flip out and lose his composure. The struggle for status between them had begun in earnest the moment Li Luo was born.

Jiang Qing'e wiped the blood from the corners of her lips as she watched the pair childishly quarrel. A rarely seen smile full of warmth bloomed on her delicate, porcelain-like face. This was because she had always seen the pair laugh and quarrel with each other in House Luolan's inner courtyard in the past. To her, this noise felt incomparably warm and cozy, reminding her of happier times.

Whenever she faced difficulty, those memories motivated her to persist. She had always felt obligated to protect this beautiful scene. She also understood that the positions of number three and four were simply a joke between those two.

Jiang Qing'e had always respected and admired Li Taixuan from the bottom of her heart. This was because she knew that he would never back down when he had to protect his family, no matter how tough things got. Tantai Lan was the one who ran things, but when it came to critical matters, Li Taixuan would reveal his calm and decisive side, make the most crucial decisions, and take on the task alone. Every single time, Tantai Lan would restrain her temper and listen to him.

After being reminded of the past by Li Luo's irritating words, Li Taixuan coldly snorted before turning towards Jiang Qing'e, his gaze becoming gentle. However, this gentleness only lasted for a moment before he noticed Jiang Qing'e's pale face and the bloodstains at the corners of her lips. His expression turned cold and serious.

"Li Luo, what's going on? How could you have failed to protect Little Jiang'e? If your mother was here, she'd literally unleash a torrent of abuse on you," he said.

Li Luo didn't argue back this time. He helplessly glanced at Li Lingjing and sighed in his heart.

"Master, Li Luo has already been doing his best by holding back a ninth-grade Transcendent opponent. I'm just slightly injured, which doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things," Jiang Qing'e hurriedly explained.

Li Taixuan coughed before transmitting his voice directly to Jiang Qing'e via resonant power. "I spoke to Ah Lan in the Nobles' Battlefield, and she said that you've called her 'mother.' Why are you still calling me 'master'?"

He then cast a glance at Li Luo with a satisfied look in his eyes. He was feeling more proud of his son now than when he noticed that he had reached the Ninth Transcendent Duke Stage. That little brat was more capable than he thought—he had actually turned the joke about marriage into reality after all these years. This caused his old man to feel very relieved and happy.

Jiang Qing'e was a little taken aback, and a hint of shyness appeared on her pale face. She then called out softly, "Father."

"Hahaha!" Li Taixuan's laughter boomed through the battlefield. This feeling was even better than when he was messing with the Grand Devil Kings in the Nobles' Battlefield.

However, at this point in time, a piercing shriek shook the earth, accompanied by a terrifying slaughter aura that blasted into the sky. It could be seen from countless miles away. As the blood-red aura stained the firmament, a devilish figure stepped over the clouds, radiating the Authority of Slaughter.

The Nine Eyes Blade burst with roiling blood energy. Wherever it passed, the Others disintegrated, turning into a blood energy that rushed into the sky. Even the remaining Devil Kings of Sin were subsumed by it, turning into vast amounts of source origin that fused into the blade. As of this point, only the Devil King of Slaughter remained of the Ten Devil Kings of Sin.

Those sacrifices allowed the Slaughter Devil King of Sin to become even more powerful. With every step, the void around it shattered as it slowly plodded ominously towards the Spiritual Resonance Cave. It was infuriated after being sent flying by Li Taixuan's blow.

It pointed its blade towards Li Taixuan and roared, "Die!"

Meanwhile, Li Taixuan looked at the murderous Slaughter Devil King of Sin with a frigid gaze. He clenched his fingers into a fist as a towering Heavenly Dragon appeared behind him, meandering around his arm and coiled between his fingers. Fist energy surged, as though it contained the power to ravage the world.

"Why are you still screaming?" Li Taixuan's eyes were dilated with fury, as though he were a guardian deity of the heavens with a dragon wrapped around his fist.

He took a step forward, causing the void to explode. Harsh sound waves propagated around him as he dashed forward. He was fully wrapped in an overbearing and invincible fist energy, like a rising, blazing sun.

His voice boomed like thunder yet again. "You dare to harm my Little Jiang'e... I will be sure to crush you today!"
