Do you truly not fear death?” Xiang Xiangzi roared, her voice like a tiger shaking the Nine Heavens: “Stand aside, or this immortal maiden will slay you today—and then storm the Demon God Realm and exterminate your entire clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuezi’s gaze turned icy; she immediately prepared to strike, for if they were truly delayed, the other battlefield would be in peril—Tai Yi and her sister Miaohuizi could not hold off another Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Fang Demon King sneered: “Regretfully, until the top experts of your Earth are all dead, you two will remain here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, strange radiance burst from his body, and from within it emerged another Demon King, identical to him, wielding the same demonic weapon, his aura equally potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A splitting technique?” Xiang Xiangzi, about to strike, froze in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Xuan Yuezi said: “Not an ordinary splitting technique—this clone’s power is nearly identical to the original. This must be his innate demonic art, extraordinary indeed. But such a powerful clone cannot last long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Dao cultivators, capable of perceiving heavenly patterns and sensing the Dao; in an instant, they understood the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent’s technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t last long—enough time has been bought for Jin Yu to finish his business.” The Silver Fang Demon King was slightly startled; he hadn’t expected these two women to see through his technique’s flaw so clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’ll shatter your clone and take your dog’s head.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immortal maidens hesitated not a moment; they instantly unleashed their peak combat power, clad in battle armor, wielding immortal artifacts, charging toward the two Silver Fang Demon Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mind your tongue—I am born of the Heavenly Wolf, not a dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Fang Demon King’s emerald eyes blazed with fury; he hated most when anyone called him a dog. He knew well that in human lands, dogs ate filth and were utterly base, while wolves ate meat—and he, this Heavenly Wolf, had been fiercer than tigers and leopards since his birth. In bloodline nobility, only the Heavenly Moon Demon King surpassed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides instantly erupted into a cataclysmic battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi desperately wished to slay this Demon King and rush to aid Li Yi, only after engaging did they realize just how terrifying a Demon King’s power was—even surpassing a True Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, in a one-on-one duel, they held no advantage whatsoever, merely locked in a stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless the Silver Fang Demon King’s clone vanished, neither could break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet on the battlefield at this moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous impact echoed, demonic power radiating outward, forcing Jin Yu, who had just charged in wielding his demonic weapon, to stagger back several steps. His face darkened, eyes filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His peak, fatal strike had been blocked—by this Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was this possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Jin Yu discerned the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Li Yi floated a peculiar weapon—strange in form, crescent-shaped, icy as frost, gleaming like a jade plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Heavenly Moon Demon King’s demonic weapon—the Precious Moon Disc.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Yu’s face instantly darkened. No wonder his strike had been blocked—if it was the Precious Moon Disc, it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In strength, the Heavenly Moon Demon King had surpassed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when he learned of the Heavenly Moon Demon King’s death, he had refused to believe it—such a Demon King, slain merely chasing this Earthling? Utter nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Heavenly Moon Demon King’s aura had truly vanished, and now seeing Li Yi wield the Precious Moon Disc, he was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Earthling dares to wield a demonic weapon? Surrender the Precious Moon Disc—I’ll let you keep your corpse and allow your primordial spirit to escape across realms.” Jin Yu coldly commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have the ability, come and take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Li Yi’s demeanor was unyielding. He radiated brilliant light, stepped forward, and an astonishing aura surged into the heavens, stirring wind and clouds, revealing power far beyond his usual limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surge signaled Li Yi had taken a giant leap forward—his strength now neared that of a Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Wang Chengjun and Li Weiguo, this sight brought both shock and joy; from the radiance emanating from Li Yi, they sensed a familiar energy—akin to destiny’s blessing, capable of briefly overriding cultivation gaps to amplify power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be tied to the cross-realm gate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both instantly realized: this power did not originate from Earth, but another world—only when the cross-realm gate opened did this energy manifest. “Who knew Li Yi had such a hidden trump card? Even with the boost, his aura still lags behind a Demon King’s—but with the demonic weapon, he compensates somewhat. Still, to crush Jin Yu, he needs one more push.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chengjun and Li Weiguo exchanged another glance, each understanding the other’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transferring their accumulated destiny energy to Li Yi might grant him the strength to defeat the Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, they let out a long roar; a mysterious, ethereal force erupted from their bodies, like crystalline light streaking toward Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yi, we’re transferring the destiny energy we’ve gathered to you—granting you a temporary boost. But it won’t last long. You must end this battle as swiftly as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chengjun transmitted this to Li Yi, preparing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi, about to strike, trembled slightly as another force, mingled with incense energy, flooded into his body. This surge made him feel the entire heavens and earth resonating with him—every movement seemed to summon cosmic power, his combat strength surging again, astonishingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Very good.” Li Yi revealed a cold smile, fixing his gaze on Jin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With incense and destiny blessing him, he had truly crossed the threshold—reaching Demon King-level power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though brief, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Yu sensed the murderous intent in Li Yi’s gaze, his expression hardening. He felt an inexplicable illusion: the prey moments ago had become the hunter, poised to slay him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tricks and illusions! Since you refuse to surrender the Precious Moon Disc, leave your life here.” Jin Yu snarled; his golden feathers flared, and countless shadowy forms erupted, surrounding Li Yi entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, ancient Dao traces gathered on his demonic weapon, the ultimate sharpness merging with demonic power, cascading down without giving Li Yi even a single breath or chance to struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed this man was unnatural—best to obliterate him with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yi was no longer the same. Empowered by magic power, incense, and destiny, the Precious Moon Disc vibrated violently, spinning instantly and radiating boundless light—condensing into a brilliant full moon that rose to shield him, outright withstanding Jin Yu’s entire assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, space shattered, demonic power mingled with countless sparks, terrifying forces colliding—no one dared approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, all had boarded the Immortal Warship, and under the control of the AI Hong Ji, they swiftly retreated from the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even as they retreated, they maintained the cross-realm gate’s opening, ensuring the incense energy never ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his attack blocked, Jin Yu erupted in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damned red-eyed rabbit—died stupidly, and worse, left behind his demonic weapon, now preventing Jin Yu from seizing victory. Without the Precious Moon Disc, he would have shattered Li Yi’s battle armor and nailed him to the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in that moment of destruction, an ancient divine shadow reappeared—this deity bore the sun and moon on his head, cradled the bright moon in his hands, stood upon mountains and rivers, roaring across heaven and earth, as if awakening from endless eons, revealing unimaginable, terrifying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With incense and destiny blessing him, the power within Li Yi’s bloodline transformed—he truly felt himself become a deity, wielding infinite might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven and Earth, Sever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deity roared, gripping the bright moon, swinging his fist—this blow shifted stars, split heaven and earth, and made the entire continent tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Yu’s pupils shrank sharply—he tried to flee, but found space twisted and torn, sealing him in place. He could only watch helplessly as the deity hurled the bright moon toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frantically raised his golden feathers before him, crossed his demonic weapon, and transformed his body into a golden sun, attempting to endure the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused to believe it—this insignificant Earthling, even with Demon King-level power, could possibly kill him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Jin Yu realized he was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fist struck, his golden feathers exploded into countless golden rays; his demonic weapon slipped from his grasp, and a terrifying force slammed into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spat blood, screamed, and was blasted away like a golden streak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All who watched from afar saw only a golden sun instantly shattered by the deity, followed by a fleeting shadow streaking across the sky—then vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1537,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","699e11fb3e194879bf407ed96862c90f505e13083811bb46f14e49def9e9157d","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-856","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-854",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
