Chapter 726

A few days later, Li Yi left Survival Base No. 8 and set off for the Earth defense line.

However, he was not traveling alone; Ye Jingtian was traveling with him.

Because of the addition of a batch of cultivation experts within the survival base, the safety level had a qualitative leap, which allowed the survival base to free up some manpower to go to the Earth defense line for support.

And from Ye Jingtian's description, the situation on Earth was very grave. Experts were often jointly slaughtered by the Demon God Realm and the Profound Immortal Continent. If this situation could not be reversed in a short period of time, Earth as a world would likely have to be conceded.

"Actually, quite a few evolvers have already crossed dimensions and fled. Those willing to stay to save the world are in the minority. But if we continue to consume like this, once the last bit of combat power on Earth is exhausted, that will be the moment the situation collapses completely."

Ye Jingtian stood on Li Yi's auspicious clouds, looking into the distance with a melancholy look.

Li Yi said: "When it really reaches that point, there should be a backup plan, right?"

"Of course." Ye Jingtian turned his head and smiled: "You should know about the complete Mystic Objects within the survival base, right? In normal times, these complete Mystic Objects provide energy for the survival base, but in times of life and death, they are the keys to opening the cross-dimensional gate."

"The entire survival base will cross dimensions and leave, and the cross-dimensional coordinate is the survival base's greatest secret. Even I don't know which world we will cross to. But what is certain is that the cross-dimensional coordinates of the ten survival bases are all different."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's expression stirred: "You mean to say that once Earth cannot be held, the ten survival bases will flee to ten different worlds respectively?"

"Not bad. After all, one shouldn't put all one's eggs in one basket. This is our country's old tradition, and it is also the best way to preserve the seeds of Earth's civilization. Moreover, the base has long recorded Earth's coordinate. Once our strength is powerful in the future, we will definitely cross dimensions back to take revenge." Ye Jingtian said.

"So that's how it is." Li Yi immediately understood.

Why concentrate the population and build this survival base.

It turned out this was also a cross-dimensional base.

If the situation wasn't right, two million people would cross dimensions together and leave, heading to a new world to live.

Ye Jingtian afterward said again: "It's just that people's hearts are easily changed. After really crossing dimensions and running away, living a stable life for a few years, a dozen years, it's hard to say how many evolvers will be willing to take back Earth. So this plan will only be implemented when there is no other choice. Now, as long as we can fight, we will fight until the end. Since ancient times, there have only been those who died defending the land; there have never been those who abandoned the land to seek life."

Li Yi nodded slightly in agreement.

Although Earthlings are born evil, when they really reach a crisis moment, they still have backbone and blood. This is also why the situation on Earth has been able to hold on until now after the Heaven-Tilting event.

If everyone were spineless, the moment the cross-dimensional gate opened, Earth would have long been empty.

And while talking.

When the auspicious clouds crossed a mountain range, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed abruptly. The earth was devastated, and there was not a single complete piece of ground in sight. Sand and stones flew in mid-air, wild winds howled, and in the sky, there were sometimes lightning and thunder, sometimes torrential rain.

The climate and environment were a mess.

Even the cosmic energy here was extremely violent, carrying all sorts of power. Li Yi felt the pervasive demon aura, as well as the spiritual energy left behind by cultivators, and even on the earth, there was the smell of residual blood and energy of martial arts practitioners.

On Earth where spiritual energy had revived, all things evolved. Even the most barren desert would be full of life. A place like this simply could not exist.

"This is a battlefield." Li Yi realized in his mind for the first time why this place had become like this.

It must be the battle between experts, time and time again, destroying these earth veins over and over. Even the climate here had undergone permanent changes. Within sight, it was desolate, without the slightest sign of life.

"The environment is even worse than when I came last time." Ye Jingtian sighed with emotion. Clearly, he had also been here last time.

"The Heaven Demons and Great Demons of the Demon God Realm are all gathered in the north, the cultivators of the Profound Immortal Continent are all in the east, and the Earth defense line is directly in front of us. Besides that, there are also some experts from other worlds connected to Earth. Some of them stand on our side, and some stand on the opposite side."

Li Yi said: "It seems other worlds also don't want to get involved in the melee, wanting to divide the ownership of Earth through this method, or perhaps confirming their status in the food chain."

"Not bad. Although we evolvers would definitely be finished if a large-scale world war truly started, they wouldn't be any better off. No one knows what terrifying things will pop out from some corner, so the best method is to determine the identity and status of each world through battle after battle, thereby deciding many subsequent things."

Ye Jingtian nodded: "To put it bluntly, it's a local war, testing national strength. This was also common before the Heaven-Tilting event, nothing strange. However, we will be in danger after entering the battlefield, because the current evolvers are the weaker side. Once targeted by the enemy, they will be attacked immediately. So Li Yi, let's not die halfway before reaching the Earth defense line."

Saying this, he drew the purple-blue twin swords from his waist, prepared to face the enemy at any time.

"Going to the battlefield is not playing house; I naturally understand this principle." Li Yi did not say much, just took out the red-gold star-shattering spear. However, under the circumstances of feeling at ease, he took out another red-gold divine sword and hung it at his waist.

Plus wearing the red-gold purple-feather armor, he could be called fully armed.

Besides that, he also had the Precious Moon Bow and red-gold arrows in his Five-Element Bracelet, which were also great killing weapons.

It's just that there are Great Demons of the Demon God Realm on this battlefield, so his Precious Moon Bow is not convenient to take out. Otherwise, if recognized, he would definitely be hunted down by the Demon God Realm. Therefore, only at the critical moment would Li Yi take out the Precious Moon Bow to face the enemy.

"Let's go."

The auspicious clouds under Li Yi's feet shook again, afterward carrying Ye Jingtian and flying rapidly toward the direction of the Earth defense line.

As soon as he entered the battlefield, he clearly felt something was wrong.

Several divine senses came from very far away, sweeping past, but they were isolated by the Red Lotus, the supreme treasure on Li Yi's body. However, Ye Jingtian on the side was not so lucky and was swept by the divine senses.

"Did you feel it?" Li Yi asked.

Ye Jingtian's expression sank: "It's the divine sense of cultivators, and there are three of them in total. With such a wide range of divine sense, the opponent's cultivation is at least at the peak of the Mahayana stage. They are very strong opponents. It seems the situation at the Earth defense line is much worse than I imagined. Even on our support route, there are experts from the Profound Immortal Continent watching."

"Li Yi, hurry up and go, don't hesitate. The opponent's strength is stronger than ours. If they really want to intercept and kill us, we have no power to fight back."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's expression tightened. He also didn't want to linger on this dangerous battlefield. The technique of riding the clouds and mist was unleashed to the extreme, and the auspicious clouds turned into a streak of divine light, rapidly sweeping across the firmament.

However, the two of them did not pin their hopes on the opponent, so they also prepared to fight at any time.

"This flight speed is truly outrageous." Seeing Li Yi's escape technique at this moment, Ye Jingtian couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. If one really wanted to escape at this speed, it was estimated that a Mahayana stage cultivator wouldn't be able to catch up, right?

But this thought of his had just appeared.

Suddenly.

The speed of the auspicious clouds under his feet suddenly slowed down, afterward coming to an abrupt stop, hovering high in the sky motionless.

"Hmm?" Ye Jingtian did not ask Li Yi for the reason at the first opportunity, but rather he felt a special energy fluctuation ahead.

Besides that, his soul gave an inexplicable warning, as if some danger was about to appear.

Compared to other practitioners, although evolvers have many shortcomings, their ability to sense crises is very strong.

"It's an array. There is a killing array ahead, and it's layered and dangerous. This should be a killing array set up by cultivators." Li Yi's gaze tightened slightly: "Moreover, the killing array has even blocked the high altitude. It looks like the opponent specifically set it up on the road for evolvers to head to the Earth defense line."

"What about going around?" Ye Jingtian said.

"If we go around, we have to pass through the area where Great Demons are entrenched." Li Yi took a look: "It's estimated that they have also prepared means to deal with it over there, just waiting for evolvers to throw themselves into the net."

"Moreover, it's just a mere killing array. Destroying it will do, saving it from blocking the road in the future."

He stretched out his palm, and the magic power of sixty great acupoints was mobilized.

Terrifying energy fluctuations surged from his body.

Afterward, using this magic power, he operated the Daoist technique.

"Overturning Rivers and Seas." Li Yi raised his hand and just swung it. Under the unleashing of the top-tier Daoist technique, in an instant, the heaven and earth in front of him instantly became dark and lightless, and the earth was even overturned by a great power at this moment.

The entire heaven and earth instantly fell into chaos.

Accompanied by the eruption of terrifying might, the killing array hidden in front was triggered. Instantly, countless brilliant energies constantly exploded in the air. The Daoist technique and the killing array collided with each other, making the entire area in front instantly become extremely dangerous and terrifying.

But also because of this strike by Li Yi, the killing array that the cultivators had painstakingly set up was all destroyed.

And the movement here was also immediately sensed by the person in charge of the main array.

At this moment.

Several hundred miles away.

Inside an underground cave dwelling.

The person presiding over the killing array here was a Mahayana stage cultivator, as well as several Tribulation Crossing stage experts.

The moment the array was broken, the Tribulation Crossing stage experts immediately suffered a backlash, their minds and spirits damaged, and one almost sprayed blood out.

"Damn it, the killing array was forcefully broken by someone with powerful strength." A Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but say.

"The opponent's strength is very strong. The array was destroyed with just one strike. It must also be an evolver at the Mahayana stage level, no, even stronger."

"Don't panic. The opponent discovered the array before taking action to break it. The power of the array was not truly triggered. The strength might not necessarily be very strong, but the opponent is so alert, they must also be a formidable enemy. Elder Elder Xuan Yang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Others looked not far away.

An old man with the appearance of a celestial being was sitting on a high platform, eyes closed and motionless.

This Elder Elder Xuan Yang was a cultivation person at the peak of the Mahayana stage, only one step away from being ranked as a human immortal. His strength naturally needed no further comment, very terrifying.

"Just now my divine sense swept past, the opponent should only be one person, and being so arrogant, they should indeed be given some lessons."

Elder Elder Xuan Yang slowly opened his eyes, and a little killing intent was revealed in his calm gaze.

Suppressing the evolvers on Earth was the result of joint discussions by the True Immortals of the Profound Immortal Continent. Absolutely do not let Earth appear with top-tier experts. Once discovered, they must be wiped out as quickly as possible.

As the words fell.

This Elder Elder Xuan Yang actually disappeared from his original spot in an instant.

This was not an escape technique, but teleportation.
