Let us first understand the situation. Revealing all our strength at once isn’t wise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuezi nodded slightly and suppressed her killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, did those monsters in the dark bully you?” Xiang Xiangzi chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuezi’s face remained cold. “These are evil entities from another world—fearsome and bizarre. I once suffered greatly alongside Taiyi. Xiang Xiangzi, though you are now a Great Perfection, do not underestimate them. The foundation of a great realm is extraordinary—just like the Demon God Realm. You once slew great demons, but above great demons lie demon kings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I meet a demon king, I’m not afraid. This immortal lady refuses to believe she can’t slay one,” Xiang Xiangzi said, idly playing with a strand of her hair, a smile curling at her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was still at the Two Blossoms realm, she had fought and killed several great demons; though she died in the process, she gained a clear understanding of the Demon God Realm’s strength. Now that she had reached Great Perfection, she refused to believe she couldn’t kill a demon king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the true strength of each side could only be known after fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can handle a demon king, but others cannot. If surrounded by powerful foes from multiple realms, even we risk death,” Xuan Yuezi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiangzi’s smile faded slightly. “That’s true. Sister Miaohui has only just reached Three Blossoms—far from Great Perfection. Only you and I can fight demon kings. We must be cautious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow Taiyi’s orders. Do not act on your own,” Xuan Yuezi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally,” Xiang Xiangzi replied, glancing at Li Yi with a peculiar emotion in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi now had a general sense of the combat strength of the dozens of cultivators: the strongest were Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi, who had trained hard in the Incense World and, through incense power, reached Great Perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was the Divine Maiden Yunfeizi, who was advancing toward Great Perfection but still lacked one Dao blossom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Miaohui, Shenxu Daoist, Yuanyang Daoist, and Qingfengzi had all reached the peak of Three Blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the others, most were at Two Blossoms or One Blossom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by combat capability:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Blossom cultivators could barely fight great demons, but would die in a desperate battle—like Feiyunzi, whose body was shattered and whose primordial spirit nearly extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Blossom experts could gain the upper hand against great demons; those skilled in Dao techniques could swiftly slay them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Three Blossoms, Xuan Yuezi had once fought on the Demon God Realm’s frontline at that level and utterly crushed opponents without doubt—but even this realm was no match for a demon king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence Xiang Xiangzi’s estimation: only a Three Blossom Great Perfection could fight a demon king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with everyone wielding Crimson Gold Dao artifacts, their combat power would rise another level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as Li Yi pondered this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Warship jolted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A withered, pale, enormous hand had emerged from the depths of the dark sky—it was part of the evil god’s body, radiating a terrifying and bizarre aura. This withered, pale hand seemed to seal the heavens and earth, reaching toward the Immortal Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, one of the evil gods had noticed this extraordinary warship and desired to capture it for study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare ambush us? Die!” Xiang Xiangzi roared in fury, drawing her Crimson Gold Dao blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seemingly delicate, alluring immortal lady now looked like a bandit chieftain, ready to charge the evil god with her great blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Xiang, first test the Immortal Warship’s power—see the strength of Master Tiangong’s masterpiece,” Li Yi said, his gaze shifting, his own killing intent emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hongji, prepare for impact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see how well the warship’s defenses held—whether it would be damaged by this strike. “Understood, Master,” the AI Hongji replied, taking control of the warship and immediately activating its defensive array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of Crimson Gold light flared, as if the vessel had donned an indestructible armor. Facing the hand emerging from the dark, the warship did not slow—it accelerated, burning the air and warping the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The encroaching darkness was instantly drowned by Crimson Gold radiance; the withered, pale hand was torn open by a grotesque gash the moment it touched, grotesque blood splattering the earth, while a roar of agony echoed from the dark depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the enemy had underestimated the Immortal Warship’s power—instead of capturing it, his hand had been easily pierced, suffering heavy damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The defense is truly astonishing,” Li Yi said, his confidence surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the matter was not over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the evil god was wounded, the entire dark sky erupted—countless bizarre tentacles descended, twisting and writhing like a dense net, attempting to trap the Immortal Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi did not stop; he merely ordered Hongji to keep flying forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, all the evil god’s tentacles were crushed, countless fleshy chunks cascading like bloody rain. In mere moments, the evil god was wounded again, in pain, forced to rapidly retract his tentacles and let out a furious, helpless roar before fading into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the evil god had given up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had realized the warship’s strength—further attacks would bring no advantage and might cost him his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ran away? This thing dares call itself an evil god? Just a bunch of cowardly, fear-driven monsters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiangzi was displeased—her great blade was already drawn, yet the enemy had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dark World’s evil gods are not few—they’re numerous, and vary in strength. The one we encountered was mediocre, not worth fearing,” Xuan Yuezi commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this evil god had failed, the Immortal Warship faced no further attacks on its journey; even the darkness seemed to grant Li Yi and the others passage, for the evil gods feared the warship might charge into their realm and harm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky ahead suddenly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A desolate land stretched before them—harsh environment, chaotic energy, everywhere lightning flashed and thunder roared, storms raged, the climate wildly abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was a battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this battlefield had recently seen a great battle—Li Yi could even see the remains of great demons and the corpses of monstrous creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hongji, contact Earth’s frontline. Tell them I’ve returned. Ask how things stand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood. Contacting Earth’s frontline now,” Hongji replied immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth’s frontline responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Zhao Yongshan, the frontline commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, you’ve finally returned—excellent,” Zhao Yongshan’s voice betrayed relief, yet could not hide exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is the situation now? Do you need help?” Li Yi asked immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yongshan hurriedly replied, “We absolutely need it—we’re short on top-tier combat strength. Your timing is perfect. But I can’t explain everything now—hurry over. Beware the journey; the Dark World’s evil gods and Demon God Realm’s great demons love ambushing Earth’s evolvers. Many have already been killed en route.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know. But I’m not weak enough to be ambushed,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as the Immortal Warship crossed the battlefield, he sensed several spiritual senses sweeping over them, and several astonishing demonic auras flared—but the warship’s overwhelming power deterred them; they did not attack, only watched warily from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1337,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fd0b54a35064a0d2c753d51e01158e0a8e70311d06257741298d814f6f047819","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-846","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-844",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
