Chapter 622

Li Yi circled the section of the defense line he was responsible for three times, expanding his search range from within one hundred kilometers to three hundred kilometers, basically cleaning up the remaining enemies.

At the same time, he also saved several severely injured evolutionaries.

Finally, after confirming that there was nothing else, he had to return, as he was also dragging a severely injured body and needed to recuperate.

Only when he returned, Xuan Yuezi and the Bald Daoist were already gone; he did not know what they had gone to do.

Li Yi did not pay it any mind; after all, no one could stop the Three-Flower Realm experts from doing whatever they wanted. As long as the Great Demons who had crossed the border this time were all dead, at least the crisis before them had been successfully resolved.

He walked into the Tianyi Palace, intending to rest for a while.

Afterwards, he saw Su Mu walking out of the life repair pod. Although she was covered in blood, after the repair by the life repair pod, at least her life was not in danger, but her body was too depleted, and she still looked sickly.

"I didn't expect you to have a repair pod. I borrowed it just now; you wouldn't mind, would you?" Su Mu said.

"I wouldn't." Li Yi said: "Looking at you, your injuries are very severe. Even if there is no immediate threat to your life, your strength will be greatly damaged. I advise you to leave the defense line and return to a safe place to recuperate properly, otherwise, you will die here."

As the person in charge of the defense line, he gave his advice.

Su Mu said: "You are right. In my current state, I really cannot play any role. Being able to survive in such a battle is already fortunate. After this matter ends, I will explain the situation to Xiao Jianguo. After all, even if I leave, I have to go through the process; I can't just leave and walk away. That would be extremely irresponsible to the defense line."

"It is good that you have such awareness." Li Yi nodded slightly: "I also need to recuperate for a few days. If there is anything during this time, call me."

Afterwards, he walked toward a path sealed by talismans.

After Li Yi approached, the talismans blocking his path immediately disappeared, but as he left, the talismans flickered with light again, sealing that path off.

Because he had only opened the location of the main hall, and other areas were in a sealed state; after all, those places were his private residence.

Seeing this, Su Mu just found a place to sit down, and then began to adopt cosmic energy to nourish her body, stimulate cell regeneration, and recover from her injuries as much as possible.

After Li Yi walked into his room, he did not waste time, employing the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Great Method, then taking elixirs to replenish his blood and qi, and recuperating from his injuries.

After the battle subsided.

There were not a few evolutionaries like him who immediately recuperated; after all, no one knew when the next battle would begin, so they had to adjust their state as much as possible to deal with future crises.

Therefore, after the enemies from the Demon God Realm retreated, the entire defense line quickly fell into a deathly silence, with only a few individual evolutionaries assigned to clean up the battlefield.

Although the losses were heavy, at least this precarious defense line had been held.

And on the side of the Demon God Realm.

Five Great Demons, carrying nearly thirty Sky Demons and one or two hundred Earth Demons, returned in defeat at this moment. All five Great Demons were killed in action, and the Sky Demons also suffered heavy losses; the Earth Demons suffered fewer losses, but this was of no avail.

The top combat power had suffered a devastating blow, and this battle could be said to be a total failure.

When they retreated to the Demon God Realm defense line, there was not even a Great Demon out to take charge of the entire defense line, leaving only a dozen or so Sky Demons gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

And the atmosphere inside the Demon Gathering Hall was extremely heavy.

The dozen or so Sky Demons all had solemn faces, and some even had expressions of anxiety and unease on their faces.

The five Great Demons crossed the border to kill the enemy but failed and were all killed in action.

If this matter were to be spread, heaven knows what kind of turmoil it would cause, and they also found it difficult to accept this result; after all, they had never regarded the evolutionaries on Earth as opponents.

Now, instead, they had been beaten by such opponents to the point of almost total annihilation; this was simply a disgrace.

"This matter must be reported to the Tianyue Tianyue Yao Wang." One Sky Demon said after a long silence.

"Who will report it to the Tianyue Tianyue Yao Wang? How to say it? Should we say that Great Demon Yuan Cang was defeated by the opponent and died, and even the other four Great Demons who came to support were no match for the human experts and were all killed? I dare not say this; I am afraid that if I say it, the Tianyue Tianyue Yao Wang will kill me in a fit of anger."

"Do you think such a big matter can be hidden? Tell him early, at least let the Tianyue Yao Wang make preparations early. And after this matter, the Tianyue Yao Wang might personally come to the battlefield. At that time, those experts of the opponent will all be finished."

"Send an Earth Demon to report this matter first. We must guard the defense line to prevent those people on Earth from counterattacking."

"This matter should not only be known to the Tianyue Tianyue Yao Wang, but also to other Demon Kings, so that they understand that the strength of the Earth experts is extraordinary. If it can arouse the vigilance of other Demon Kings, this might be a good thing."

These Sky Demons began to discuss seriously.

Then they quickly reached a consensus.

That is, they must exaggerate the strength of the human evolutionaries so as to reduce their own responsibility for the unfavorable situation, and at the same time, they also hope that other Demon Kings can put aside their prejudices and join forces to treat Earth as a formidable enemy.

But no matter how these Sky Demons discussed, at least they no longer had the power to cross the border, and they were even worried about the experts on Earth counterattacking.

In fact.

Their worries were also superfluous.

Because the Earth defense line had no power to attack at all, and the several Three-Flower Realm experts like Xuan Yuezi and the Bald Daoist had no interest in coming to the Demon God Realm to bully these Sky Demons and Earth Demons.

This situation meant that there would be a period of peace between the two sides for some time to come.

Time flew by, and five days passed.

After five days of recuperation, the injured evolutionaries also began to become active on the defense line one after another.

At the same time, they also began to count the casualties, restore the defense line, and prevent the next battle.

Of course, there were also people like Su Mu who, because of severe injuries, could no longer continue to guard the defense line and had to leave here to return to a safe place to recuperate, so a group of injured evolutionaries also left.

The defense line, which was already short of manpower, became even more desolate at this moment.

The section of the defense line guarded by Li Yi was even worse; with Su Mu's departure, he was the only one left here.

He was sitting on the roof of the Tianyi Palace at this moment, looking toward the direction of the Demon God Realm, alert for any Great Demons crossing the border.

And on this very day.

Xuan Yuezi, who had disappeared before, appeared again. She flew over on a white cloud and immediately found Li Yi.

"Tai Yi, I have to cross dimensions to find Xiang Xiangzi. I have basically dealt with the situation here. If new enemies appear, you can notify me then, and I will definitely rush to support you."

Xuan Yuezi said with a hint of pleading.

Clearly, the matter of resurrecting the three celestial maidens was extremely important.

"Good, I will open the cross-dimensional gate for the celestial maiden, allowing her to take a trip to the world where incense becomes god." Li Yi nodded and immediately agreed to Xuan Yuezi's request.

Xuan Yuezi added: "After I leave, Tai Yi need not worry. The Bald Daoist, Old Daoist Wu, and Feiyunzi will guard here for a period of time, and they will not leave until Tai Yi leaves."

"If anyone refuses to obey, Tai Yi need not be soft-hearted; directly use the Self-Sacrifice Curse to kill them. Bringing them across dimensions is not for them to come here to enjoy blessings. If they are unwilling to contribute, what use are they?"

She was reminding Li Yi that the Self-Sacrifice Curse should be used when it should be used, and not to be soft-hearted.

There were so many Three-Flower Realm experts in the Dharma-Ending cultivation world that missing one or two would not matter; at worst, they could just go back and recruit another batch.

Li Yi just smiled and did not say much.

After all, Xuan Yuezi was a top Three-Flower Realm expert, so of course she could use the Self-Sacrifice Curse as she pleased without worrying about others, as others couldn't beat her anyway, but he couldn't.

He was only in the Five-Qi Realm, so he could not act as he pleased and had to worry about the influence.

Once he did something like "killing the dog after the rabbit is caught," other Three-Flower Realm experts would inevitably become alienated in the future.

Of course.

Xuan Yuezi said this because she felt there was hope to resurrect the other three celestial maidens. When the time came, the five celestial maidens would join forces, and Tai Yi would not need the help of other experts at all; the five of them would be enough.

"Celestial maiden, follow me to the Tianyi Palace first; I will open the cross-dimensional gate there."

Li Yi then brought Xuan Yuezi to the Tianyi Palace.

Then he skillfully took out the cross-dimensional machine and assembled it. With the energy enhancement of the three complete mystic objects—the World Heart Gem, Dragon Scale, and Phoenix Feather—the cross-dimensional gate was opened once again.

And as soon as it opened, Li Yi felt a surging and turbulent power of incense, which poured toward him along the cross-dimensional gate.

Hmm?

Li Yi's expression changed.

This works too?

Can I receive the power of incense belief just by opening the cross-dimensional gate?

And this power of incense belief was even more immense than before he returned.

Clearly, during this period, the incense in the world had increased again.

"Is this the power of incense belief?" Xuan Yuezi was somewhat startled, but then she did not dare to waste time and immediately stepped on the white cloud and rushed into this world where incense becomes god.

Li Yi waited for her to leave, but did not immediately close the cross-dimensional gate; he wanted to receive more of the power of incense belief.

Perhaps he could rely on this powerful power of incense to break through to the fifth level of the Five-Qi Realm in one go on Earth.
