Does this man think he can fight sixteen of us at once? Does he believe we can’t take him down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This strike demands utmost caution—friends, no hesitation! Unite and eliminate him, and seize the cross-realm technique he carries!” someone roared, attempting to rally others to kill Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the cultivation experts at the peak of their realm did not retaliate; their eyes flickered as they chose defensive retreat and evasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this level of power, as he said, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not enough to have numerical superiority—what if a bloody battle destroys the cross-realm opportunity entirely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re all ancient foxes, each weighing the costs and benefits in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With divided loyalties and hidden agendas, even their overwhelming numbers failed to yield any advantage, leaving those who chose to fight Li Yi feeling betrayed by their own allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that the blow had landed, there was no time to hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One misstep could mean death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the dimmed heavens, a punch of light obliterated all—any peak cultivation expert facing this strike would tremble in fear; even if their Three Flowers burned to ash, they could not resist, and the result would inevitably be instant annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were not alone—even in the Declining Era, stripped of their former glory, their combined strength remained unparalleled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, countless Dao arts erupted; their inner cultivation energy was expended without restraint, for saving energy now might cost them their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collision of power tore open the sky itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to imagine that in the Declining Era, such power could ever manifest again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But resisting this blow came at a heavy cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One peak cultivator spat blood and was flung backward; another had half his body shattered by the shockwave; yet another, targeted by the punch’s aura, found space sealed shut—no escape possible—and was instantly obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the divine technique’s energy was exhausted, the sixteen cultivators who had attacked together were left battered and disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi stood firm in the heavens, unharmed, his aura as potent as ever—he hadn’t aimed to kill many, only to make them understand his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation world, strength speaks—without it, your words are worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! Why didn’t you retaliate? Old Daoist nearly died because of your inaction!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We sixteen united—surely he was doomed! Why retreat now? With such disunity, how can we accomplish anything? This is laughable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His strike was terrifying, but not so overwhelming that we should be this disarrayed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the injured cultivators erupted in anger, pointing fingers at their comrades for failing to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough! Shut up! You all saw his power before—why blame me? If you’re so brave, go confront him yourself! You’re injured because you’re weak—don’t blame others.” Someone frowned and snapped sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 Duifangdegongjiqiangda ， Pindaoduobiyoushenmebudui ？ Nandaoyingzhutoupidingshangqume ？ Ruoshinibufu ， Xiaciduifanghuiquan ， Youbenshinibieduo ， Zhenshiyibanianjihuodaogoushenshangqule 。」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others didn’t spare the injured cultivators either, firing back immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all peers at the same level—who doesn’t have pride?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, none would admit that their refusal to strike stemmed from not wanting to offend this outsider, since they still hoped to gain the cross-realm opportunity from him later—better to leave a good impression now, in case they needed him someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But precisely because of their disunity, Li Yi remained unharmed before them—he even suspected that if someone tried to kill him, others might even help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, Li Yi had achieved his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That punch had humbled the sixteen cultivators; their eyes grew clearer, their arrogance diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wounded several and killed one—even with their combined strength. Such power was terrifying. More importantly, while all of them were being drained by the Declining Era’s energy depletion, he remained an endless abyss, his aura unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems you’re divided—some want to kill me, others wish to cooperate?” Li Yi spoke slowly: “But if you wish to cooperate, show me your sincerity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If any of you bring me the heads of those who attacked me just now, I’ll take you out of this realm—for free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare sow discord?” one injured Daoist immediately roared, trying to cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temptation of crossing realms was too great—no one could guarantee others wouldn’t be swayed. As those who had attacked and now bore wounds, they feared being purged by such treacherous tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t sowing discord—it’s a token of loyalty. Without sincerity, how can I trust you?” Li Yi said coolly. “You’ve seen my strength. Killing me or seizing the cross-realm technique from me is unrealistic. Meanwhile, lingering here in the Declining Era risks you withering away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve given you the chance. Whether you seize it is up to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His method may have been crude, but if it worked, that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet many eyes flickered, yet none moved immediately—they wouldn’t be swayed by mere words. What if he was trying to incite infighting to wipe them all out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outsiders are inherently evil—hard to trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This silence, however, sent chills through those who had attacked, for it revealed that many were tempted—only hesitation and distrust held them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, several hearts were drenched in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their inaction, Li Yi remained calm, smiling: “I know one sentence won’t make you decide instantly. That’s fine—I’ll give you time. I’ll return to cross realms again soon. That will be your final chance to leave this world. Miss it, and wait for your next life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Farewell. Oh, remember my Dao title—I am Taiyi Tianzun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he didn’t linger, stepping upon auspicious clouds and turning away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though some wished to stop him, none dared speak—the intent was too obvious, risking offense. Some wanted to block him, yet dared not strike, fearing they’d be struck by a dozen Dao arts from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they could only watch helplessly as Li Yi walked away boldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s thrown me a real challenge—the final chance to cross realms?” The cultivators wrestled internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they sensed heavenly omens—they believed Taiyi’s words were true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time, he would be their absolute final opportunity to leave—there would be no second chance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1207,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","003d99ce91d69fa7a777c402f877d9faedd8f14f9eea17102d432ae35601eb15","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-892","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-890",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
