Where can you run?” Li Yi arrived atop a cloud, gripping the Crimson Golden Star-Shattering Spear, looking down upon the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the darkness, the demon god’s true form reappeared, its massive body writhing across the earth, trying to smother the golden flames on its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no matter how the earth shook and mountains trembled, the flames refused to be extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, the demon god resorted to severing its limbs to survive, continuously shedding parts of its body to escape the searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this method actually worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As large chunks of flesh were torn away, the golden flames burning upon the demon god diminished, but correspondingly, the demon god’s aura grew weaker, and the range of darkness surrounding it shrank continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, in the end, the demon god shed the golden flames—but its body was reduced to nothing more than a grotesque mass of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the flesh mass writhed, the demon god took the form of a woman—skinless, her entire body composed of crimson muscle, her face covered in dozens of eyes, though now those eyes no longer held their former malice, but instead radiated fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the World Dragon truly is your demon god’s bane. No wonder you once imprisoned that World Dragon,” Li Yi coldly stared at the demon god, the spear in his hand igniting once more with golden flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was you—you released the World Dragon. You ate the Golden Apple, inherited the World Dragon’s bloodline, and now wield the golden flames,” the woman-form of the demon god shrieked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the demon god understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi said: “Correct. Had you remained in the world of darkness, you might not have ended up like this. But now, I’m sorry—I’m going to send you on your way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated the Cloud-Riding Spell, his entire body transforming into a divine light that shot straight toward the demon god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-wait, wait!” The demon god panicked, frantically trying to plead for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To extinguish the golden flames, it had shed too much of its body—its power was no longer at its peak, and Li Yi’s golden flames were its natural enemy; in direct combat, it had no chance of victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crimson Golden Star-Shattering Spear, once again wreathed in golden flame, pierced through the demon god’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames it had barely escaped ignited upon it once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spare me—I can become your servant, serve you, grant you endless wealth and power,” the demon god whispered desperately, offering countless rewards: with its service, one could easily conquer any city, sway the masses, and even indulge in the most extreme earthly desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could let you experience the pinnacle of human desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman-form of the demon god twisted her body, shifting constantly—now a pure young girl, now a seductive beauty, now naked, revealing a voluptuous figure, even transforming into a delicate, beautiful man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Li Yi’s expression remained unchanged, unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an evil entity could only be utterly destroyed to ensure safety—otherwise, the consequences would be endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he had lacked the strength to kill the demon god; now that he had grown, having encountered it again, Li Yi would never let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all her temptations failed to move the man before her, the demon god panicked completely: “You cannot kill me—if you do, the gods of the darkness world will not spare you. You will be cursed by the gods, your soul eternally sinking in the darkness world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s spear instantly tore through its body, then swung again, slicing the ruined form into countless fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The writhing flesh chunks rapidly turned to ash under the golden flames, leaving not a single residue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yi was not reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The land around him was still steeped in darkness—he felt the demon god’s residual power still influenced this place, and after learning of the demon god’s strangeness, he feared it might resurrect again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Yi activated his bloodline power once more, golden flames erupting around him, then scattered them in all directions, covering the entire black land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden flames blazed fiercely across the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his cautious action proved effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange screams echoed from within the black soil, as if some creature was being scorched beyond endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground writhed, releasing a stench of decay and corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from beneath the earth, crimson flesh chunks crawled forth—each covered in tentacles, each seeming like an independent lifeform; had it not been for the golden flames, these things would have quickly Dun ed underground and vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you left a backup plan?” Li Yi, witnessing this, was inwardly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had taken the precaution—otherwise, it might have escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the golden flames continued to burn, a thick darkness gradually rose from the black earth; when this darkness appeared, the land regained its original color—but the darkness did not dissipate. Instead, it twisted in midair, faintly forming the silhouette of a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember you. The war between the darkness world and your Earth has begun. Wait,” the writhing darkness hissed in a hoarse voice, thick with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi frowned at this sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was this demon god of the darkness world? Had it not died?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was this merely the last lingering resentment, now forced out by the golden flames to curse him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent little time in the darkness world and knew little about these strange beings—he did not know how to truly kill a demon god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps this demon god was merely a fragment of a far greater one—and unless the entire darkness world was destroyed, the demon god would never truly die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various theories surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Li Yi gripped the Crimson Golden Star-Shattering Spear again, ignited golden flame, and prepared to strike once more, the monster formed from the darkness before him seemed to reach its limit—and began rapidly dissolving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within mere seconds, the darkness vanished completely, leaving no trace behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after Li Yi continued to burn the land with golden flame, he detected no further anomalies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This should be resolved,” Li Yi did not leave immediately, but continued burning the land for an hour to confirm, then departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet shortly after leaving, Li Yi returned again, observing once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi then rode the clouds and returned to the survival base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his battle ended, the fighting within the survival base also concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Tianxing had been defeated by Ye Jingtian, his body destroyed, leaving only his head—but the head had not died; instead, numerous tentacles sprouted from his neck, crawling across the ground, appearing deeply unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-20T01:27:07.233Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","231ddf10b08fd952024e6819bab95668b1e195333e8ca1ba308d5d6f5ae56df0","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-778","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-776",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg",{"terms":24},[25,29,33,37,41,45,49,53,57,61,65,69,73,77,81,85,89,93,97,101,105,109,113,117,121,125,129,133,137,141,145],{"id":26,"raw_term":27,"original_term":28},1803422,"Li Yi","李易",{"id":30,"raw_term":31,"original_term":32},1803423,"Zhao Xiaoxiao","趙曉曉",{"id":34,"raw_term":35,"original_term":36},1803424,"Wu Zhen","吳振",{"id":38,"raw_term":39,"original_term":40},1803425,"Zhang Gao","張高",{"id":42,"raw_term":43,"original_term":44},1803426,"Xiang Xiangzi","香湘子",{"id":46,"raw_term":47,"original_term":48},1803427,"Xuan Yuezi","玄月子",{"id":50,"raw_term":51,"original_term":52},1803428,"Bald Daoist","禿道人",{"id":54,"raw_term":55,"original_term":56},1803429,"Taiyi","太易",{"id":58,"raw_term":59,"original_term":60},1803430,"Yun Feizi","雲妃子",{"id":62,"raw_term":63,"original_term":64},1803431,"Du Baizhi","杜白芷",{"id":66,"raw_term":67,"original_term":68},1803432,"Wu Zuohua","武左華",{"id":70,"raw_term":71,"original_term":72},1803433,"Zhou Yu","周煜",{"id":74,"raw_term":75,"original_term":76},1803434,"Cang'erzi","蒼耳子",{"id":78,"raw_term":79,"original_term":80},1803435,"Li Chengyu","李成玉",{"id":82,"raw_term":83,"original_term":84},1803436,"Tai Xianweng","太仙翁",{"id":86,"raw_term":87,"original_term":88},1803437,"Old Daoist Wu","吳老道",{"id":90,"raw_term":91,"original_term":92},1803438,"Sun Boxiu","孫伯修",{"id":94,"raw_term":95,"original_term":96},1803439,"Tianjiang Zi","天江子",{"id":98,"raw_term":99,"original_term":100},1803440,"Sun Fei","孫飛",{"id":102,"raw_term":103,"original_term":104},1803441,"You Nu","憂女",{"id":106,"raw_term":107,"original_term":108},1803442,"Bai You","白幽",{"id":110,"raw_term":111,"original_term":112},1803443,"Liu Ming","劉明",{"id":114,"raw_term":115,"original_term":116},1803444,"Yang Wei","楊偉",{"id":118,"raw_term":119,"original_term":120},1803445,"Ning Wu","寧舞",{"id":122,"raw_term":123,"original_term":124},1803446,"Haili","海力",{"id":126,"raw_term":127,"original_term":128},1803447,"Meiling","梅玲",{"id":130,"raw_term":131,"original_term":132},1803448,"Shan Yi","善翼",{"id":134,"raw_term":135,"original_term":136},1803449,"Golden Feather Demon King","金羽妖王",{"id":138,"raw_term":139,"original_term":140},1803450,"Wang Chengjun","王成軍",{"id":142,"raw_term":143,"original_term":144},1803451,"Li Weiguo","李衛國",{"id":146,"raw_term":147,"original_term":148},1803452,"Miao Huizi","妙慧子"]
