Their leaders have reached an agreement with our demon kings; we must wait for the demon kings’ orders before acting. Don’t act rashly,” Great Demon Bao Xiang warned. “Follow the rules: first, join forces with these cultivators to exterminate all the Earth evolutionists, then we’ll settle accounts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those Earth evolutionists are too weak—if our demon kings had acted, they’d all be dead already. How could they still be alive?” Great Demon Jin Peng sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bao Xiang had not forgotten the task assigned by Tian Yue Demon King. He spoke: “First, meet with them, assess the situation. If all’s well, we proceed as before—join forces to wipe out this batch of Earth evolutionists and end this battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rest stay behind. Jin Peng, Tian Lang—you two come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the three great demons broke from the others and flew toward the cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other cultivators stood firm in midair, forming formations, while Elders Xuan Yang, Tian Guang Shangren, and Ling Shuang True Person—the three Grand Mahayana peak experts—also detached from the group and flew forward to meet the three great demons and negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three demons and the three Grand Mahayana cultivators met swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the rules, this round is your cultivators’ turn to lead the assault. We great demons will hunt down any evolutionists trying to flee. Once they’re heavily wounded, our cooperation ends,” Great Demon Bao Xiang said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Guang Shangren immediately replied: “No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, only twenty-nine opponents are participating,” Elder Xuan Yang extended a finger; his spiritual sense manifested into a battlefield map, with twenty-nine dots near the center marking the positions of the twenty-nine evolutionists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three great demons glanced and immediately memorized the map and positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lacked cultivators’ spiritual sense and could not lock onto enemies with such precision and range, so before battle, both sides exchanged intelligence to ensure victory was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there are no other issues, then it’s settled,” Bao Xiang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Then so be it,” Tian Guang Shangren nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief contact, both sides parted ways. In past battles, after evolutionists were crushed, the two sides would suddenly turn on each other; thus, though they appeared allied, they were still potential enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting ended,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both great demons and cultivators resumed movement—this time, they did not drift slowly through the sky but instantly transformed into streaks of divine light, surging with boundless spiritual energy from heaven and earth, charging toward the evolutionists’ location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging demonic power, vast spiritual energy, and chilling killing intent could be felt even from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re coming—the great demons and cultivators are joining forces to kill us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evolutionists, standing ready, felt a chill; all understood that mortal combat was imminent, though none knew which side would strike first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Li Yi, hidden within the mist, had already reached peak readiness. He gripped the Crimson Gold Shattered Star Spear, using his Primordial Spirit manifestation to sense the enemy’s positions, ready to strike at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy had not yet approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind across heaven and earth had ceased; the dust and sand, under the influence of two terrifying auras, seemed frozen, hovering motionless in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the cosmic energy in this region rapidly thinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because all top-tier combatants were preparing their ultimate strikes, forcibly draining the battlefield’s cosmic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among top-tier warriors, battles had no flashy theatrics—contact meant the strongest strike, aiming to obliterate the opponent instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant beams of cosmic energy ignited across the battlefield; every evolutionist unleashed their full power, though their roles differed—some attacked, others defended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what, they must survive this first wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice: the enemy came prepared, while they could only defend—disadvantage was unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jingtian drew a deep breath; his Crimson Gold Divine Armor now shimmered with divine light, woven into a protective barrier. His Purple-Blue Divine Sword had merged into one, brewing an earth-shattering blade intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every soul sensed a warning—a terrifying crisis engulfed the entire battlefield; every evolutionist felt watched, their hairs standing on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to numbers, every evolutionist would face attack—no one was lucky enough to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survival depended solely on one’s own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why only evolutionists capable of fighting great demons were sent to the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty streaks of Grand Mahayana cultivator divine light appeared in the distance; the moment they appeared, heaven and earth seemed to plunge into apocalypse, with terrifying omens erupting endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder covering the sky, heavenly flames burning all, sword beams severing all, and dazzling magic treasure radiance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Mahayana cultivators each unleashed their peak strike, aiming to inflict heavy losses on the evolutionists in this first coordinated assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not only the cultivators appeared—around them, demonic energy spread as thirty great demons encircled the entire battlefield, waiting to strike only after the cultivators’ assault ended, giving the evolutionists no chance to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is the battlefield,” Ye Jingtian’s pupils shrank sharply; he felt his whole body trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire heaven and earth were trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirty Grand Mahayana cultivators striking together—truly terrifying,” Li Yi thought inwardly. He could not attack yet; all he could do was defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His three layers of armor now glowed with divine light, firmly shielding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once thought himself overly cautious—wearing three layers of armor—but now he saw it was absolutely correct; relying solely on the Crimson Gold Purple Feather Armor, he had no confidence he could fully withstand this assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he felt this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What of those without Crimson Gold Armor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi now felt the cruelty and certainty of this battle, but he did not dwell on it—his mission was heavy, for everyone was fighting in coordination with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he failed to break these enemies, many would die because of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand clenched the Crimson Gold Shattered Star Spear tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Yi suppressed the urge to strike, watching helplessly as the sky filled with thunder, purple heavenly flames, and countless flying swords converging toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the evolutionists were spread far apart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Mahayana cultivators’ strikes covered vast areas—there was no escape; they could only resist with all their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth overturned; the ground roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy’s coordinated strike arrived as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi instantly felt his concealment shattered—but the divine light woven around him displayed astonishing defense; the sword beams piercing through mountains and rivers struck his body and shattered instantly against the Crimson Gold radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torrents of purple flame and lightning rained down, likewise blocked by his battle armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even felt soul attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the cultivators were treacherous, their power was undeniable; their coordinated strikes were comprehensive—any lapse in defense would bring immediate crippling injury, followed by death from other attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet against his three-layer armor and the Celestial Lotus protecting his Primordial Spirit manifestation, all attacks were useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi successfully withstood the first wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not everyone possessed his strength or reserves; one evolutionist, though enduring several divine thunderbolts, suddenly suffered grave soul damage, staggered, and spat blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could recover, a rain of flying swords surged upon him, striking his armor, tearing through his defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evolutionist roared in fury and despair, swallowed by the onslaught, leaving nothing behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength was not weak—if alone, a single Grand Mahayana cultivator could not defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was a battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cultivators led the assault. After this first wave, the great demons will strike—don’t let your guard down, hold firm!” Xiang Feiming bellowed, channeling all his power to shield himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some evolutionists pushed beyond their limits, unleashing peak-strength attacks to forcibly repel the assault, easing defensive pressure on their comrades nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the terrifying assault came fast and ended quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the battlefield’s violent aftereffects faded, waves of shocking demonic energy surged in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great demons from the Demon God Realm, unable to wait, entered battle early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the cultivators in the sky paused briefly to recover, preparing for their second assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through such coordination could they crush the evolutionists’ breath, forcing them into panic and retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had won battle after battle this way before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the great demons drawing near, Li Yi instinctively wanted to swing his Crimson Gold Shattered Star Spear, severing their heads and taking their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, don’t act yet—you can’t strike until after the cultivators withdraw. If you scare off the thirty Grand Mahayana cultivators now, we lose,” Liu Yunbai’s voice echoed in Li Yi’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Mahayana cultivators were too cautious; without certainty of battlefield conditions, they refused to enter, merely observing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the situation turned unfavorable, their thirty would form a formation and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when they were certain of victory would they charge in, striking the wounded evolutionists, easily claiming the battle—then, and only then, would Li Yi’s moment to strike arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1621,"2026-06-20T01:27:07.233Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","38869465f7ffcd1720207adb14eff813eae823f5b7a0ac53fbfd3d8206393ee4","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-796","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-794",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg",{"terms":24,"userReplacements":180},[25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100,105,110,115,120,125,130,135,140,145,150,155,160,165,170,175],{"id":26,"raw_term":27,"original_term":28,"translations":29},1803422,"Li Yi","李易",[],{"id":31,"raw_term":32,"original_term":33,"translations":34},1803423,"Zhao Xiaoxiao","趙曉曉",[],{"id":36,"raw_term":37,"original_term":38,"translations":39},1803424,"Wu Zhen","吳振",[],{"id":41,"raw_term":42,"original_term":43,"translations":44},1803425,"Zhang Gao","張高",[],{"id":46,"raw_term":47,"original_term":48,"translations":49},1803426,"Xiang Xiangzi","香湘子",[],{"id":51,"raw_term":52,"original_term":53,"translations":54},1803427,"Xuan Yuezi","玄月子",[],{"id":56,"raw_term":57,"original_term":58,"translations":59},1803428,"Bald Daoist","禿道人",[],{"id":61,"raw_term":62,"original_term":63,"translations":64},1803429,"Taiyi","太易",[],{"id":66,"raw_term":67,"original_term":68,"translations":69},1803430,"Yun Feizi","雲妃子",[],{"id":71,"raw_term":72,"original_term":73,"translations":74},1803431,"Du Baizhi","杜白芷",[],{"id":76,"raw_term":77,"original_term":78,"translations":79},1803432,"Wu Zuohua","武左華",[],{"id":81,"raw_term":82,"original_term":83,"translations":84},1803433,"Zhou Yu","周煜",[],{"id":86,"raw_term":87,"original_term":88,"translations":89},1803434,"Cang'erzi","蒼耳子",[],{"id":91,"raw_term":92,"original_term":93,"translations":94},1803435,"Li Chengyu","李成玉",[],{"id":96,"raw_term":97,"original_term":98,"translations":99},1803436,"Tai Xianweng","太仙翁",[],{"id":101,"raw_term":102,"original_term":103,"translations":104},1803437,"Old Daoist Wu","吳老道",[],{"id":106,"raw_term":107,"original_term":108,"translations":109},1803438,"Sun Boxiu","孫伯修",[],{"id":111,"raw_term":112,"original_term":113,"translations":114},1803439,"Tianjiang Zi","天江子",[],{"id":116,"raw_term":117,"original_term":118,"translations":119},1803440,"Sun Fei","孫飛",[],{"id":121,"raw_term":122,"original_term":123,"translations":124},1803441,"You Nu","憂女",[],{"id":126,"raw_term":127,"original_term":128,"translations":129},1803442,"Bai You","白幽",[],{"id":131,"raw_term":132,"original_term":133,"translations":134},1803443,"Liu Ming","劉明",[],{"id":136,"raw_term":137,"original_term":138,"translations":139},1803444,"Yang Wei","楊偉",[],{"id":141,"raw_term":142,"original_term":143,"translations":144},1803445,"Ning Wu","寧舞",[],{"id":146,"raw_term":147,"original_term":148,"translations":149},1803446,"Haili","海力",[],{"id":151,"raw_term":152,"original_term":153,"translations":154},1803447,"Meiling","梅玲",[],{"id":156,"raw_term":157,"original_term":158,"translations":159},1803448,"Shan Yi","善翼",[],{"id":161,"raw_term":162,"original_term":163,"translations":164},1803449,"Golden Feather Demon King","金羽妖王",[],{"id":166,"raw_term":167,"original_term":168,"translations":169},1803450,"Wang Chengjun","王成軍",[],{"id":171,"raw_term":172,"original_term":173,"translations":174},1803451,"Li Weiguo","李衛國",[],{"id":176,"raw_term":177,"original_term":178,"translations":179},1803452,"Miao Huizi","妙慧子",[],{}]
