Yet after teleporting in, he discovered two opponents, one of whom his spiritual sense could not perceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that his spiritual sense couldn’t detect him—Li Yi must be carrying a priceless treasure, perhaps even a celestial artifact capable of blocking spiritual perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Yi clad in crimson-gold Dao artifacts, Elder Xuan Yang, with decades of experience, immediately understood the true reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a glint of greed flashed in Elder Xuan Yang’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A celestial artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What merit did this base Earth evolutionist have to possess such a treasure? He himself was the one destined to ascend to immortality—he was the rightful master of this artifact, perfectly matched to its nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment greed stirred, murderous intent flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xuan Yang instantly swung his fly whisk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, millions, tens of millions of silver threads surged forth, covering the heavens, obscuring sun and moon, then cascading down like a dense rainstorm, attempting to engulf Li Yi and Ye Jingtian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not wish to kill them swiftly—he intended to capture them alive and extract the secret of the celestial artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Break out!” Ye Jingtian roared, instantly merging his purple and blue swords into one, unleashing a boundless sword light that shot skyward, trying to cleave through the silver sky and sever the annoying threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Useless. My fly whisk is woven from the silk of the Nine-Eyed Golden Spider, infused with the essence of Gui Water and refined with Sun-Moon Xuan Iron—it is unbreakable, incredibly resilient, and razor-sharp. It is a semi-celestial artifact. How could two base evolutionists like you possibly break it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xuan Yang smiled faintly, eyes half-lidded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adored this semi-celestial artifact and couldn’t resist boasting about it to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly pristine fly whisk had been stained with the blood of countless cultivators since its forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of seizing a true celestial artifact from these two men filled him with suppressed joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet soon, Elder Xuan Yang’s smile froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-blue swords struck, and one by one, the silver threads hanging from the sky were severed. Alas, their wielder lacked sufficient power to fully unleash the divine might of the purple-blue swords—after carving through over a thousand meters, their momentum faded, unable to further tear open the silver sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Very good. Those two swords are extraordinary indeed. Today, my fortune is truly great—to encounter such a heavenly opportunity in this backwater land.” Though his fly whisk was damaged, Elder Xuan Yang was not angry—he was delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could capture these two today, even the complete destruction of his fly whisk would be worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crimson-gold divine light, infused with the power of Long Hu, surged forward—where the light passed, silver threads snapped instantly. The terrifying force swept through, jolting Elder Xuan Yang, who had just been rejoicing, into heart-pounding fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shocked, he hastily swung his fly whisk, transforming it into a vast silver tidal wave, attempting to block the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yi, wielding the crimson-gold Dao artifact at full power, struck with force even a Mahayana cultivator would struggle to withstand—even one at the peak of Mahayana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crimson-Gold Shattered Star Spear tore through the silver wave like a blade through silk, its divine light undiminished, instantly engulfing Elder Xuan Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xuan Yang vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he was dozens of li away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still shaken, his skin was stained with blood—wounds from the divine light’s proximity. Not fatal, but he felt the chill of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had that crimson-gold light struck him directly, he would have survived only by the narrowest margin, and even then, grievously wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you smiling at, old man?” Li Yi, spear in hand, stared coldly from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he admitted the opponent was strong, he himself was no weakling—and with the crimson-gold Dao artifact’s enhancement, he could fight even a Three-Petal cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Mahayana peak cultivator from the Xuan Immortal Continent, in raw power, was weaker than a Three-Petal cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xuan Yang’s face shifted repeatedly—Li Yi’s move revealed this human evolutionist was no ordinary foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What weapon is that spear? How could it so easily sever my fly whisk and nearly injure my body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed Li Yi’s strength came mostly from that weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without it, defeating him would be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, capturing both of them would no longer be simple—if it came to a life-or-death struggle, he might not gain the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet if he let them go now, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains—endless future troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these two carried such treasures—if he didn’t seize them, it would be a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xuan Yang, unwilling to risk himself—he who sought immortality—sent a spiritual message to two other Mahayana allies, urging them to come quickly; once successful, they would share the spoils equally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, can you kill him?” Ye Jingtian gripped his purple-blue swords tightly, unease rising within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a life-or-death fight, I’ll kill him in no more than ten rounds. But you know Xuan Immortal Continent cultivators—they’re cunning and cowardly. If they can’t win, they flee. And they always resort to underhanded tricks. He took a hit and didn’t run—my guess is he’s calling for backup.” Li Yi whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earlier, several spiritual senses swept over us, but only this one Mahayana expert attacked. Others didn’t strike—not because they couldn’t, but because they had some agreement. Yet they’ve grown greedy for our weapons. I fear we’ll be surrounded and killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we leave now.” Ye Jingtian’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent’s peak Mahayana strength already far surpassed his own. If reinforcements arrived to encircle them, death was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xuan Immortal Continent cultivators were indeed capable of such treachery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right. No lingering. Leave now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi did not hesitate. The killing array was already dismantled, its residual energy nearly gone. Seizing the moment his previous strike had forced the enemy back, he refused to be drawn into a siege. Instantly, his auspicious cloud surged, wrapping around Ye Jingtian, and they fled swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn. They’re fleeing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Elder Xuan Yang was both shocked and furious—he never expected them to flee without hesitation despite having the advantage. Did they know he was summoning help? Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yi’s cloud-riding technique was swift—in an instant, they were nearly out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They cannot escape. Once they enter their territory, killing them will be far harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xuan Yang refused to let these two big fish slip away—he decided to engage them briefly, buying time for his reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, he vanished from his spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he stood directly before Li Yi and Ye Jingtian, his fly whisk transforming into a vast silver net, attempting to trap them and block their escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he’s not using teleportation—he’s using something like wormhole teleportation, appearing instantly at any location.” Ye Jingtian raised his sword to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move. I’ll handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi had anticipated the enemy might interfere with their escape. Instantly, his Crimson-Gold Shattered Star Spear erupted with boundless divine light, unleashing another world-shaking strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying divine light swept forward, cutting through all in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver fly whisk stood no chance against the crimson-gold Dao artifact—it was torn open again by a jagged gash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Elder Xuan Yang had prepared—he vanished again via teleportation, evading the deadly blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only sought to harass Li Yi, not engage in a life-or-death duel—he dared not expose any weakness and risk dying here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confident he wouldn’t be killed, as a cultivator, he would never gamble on a “what if.” Li Yi’s weapon was truly formidable—he had to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare offend me and still think you can leave? Not so easily. Today, you two will stay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi frowned, preparing to depart again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, two spiritual senses swept across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two swift cultivation lights surged toward them, their Mahayana aura unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn. Li Yi, you were right—they’ve got reinforcements.” Ye Jingtian’s face paled instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi murmured, “These two are flying in—they didn’t teleport. Their strength must be inferior to this old man’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had feared the enemy summoned even stronger cultivators—that’s why he’d rushed to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they’d sent two weaker allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Li Yi was no longer afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1682,"2026-06-20T01:27:07.233Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4979963fdc96d62c4c6422cf8afe3f4eeda08d2db04122cd2514f6dbae051ae9","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-783","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-781",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"]
