If he were to unleash a divine art, the Lord of North Huang  would die in a single blow.” The sage sighed, seeing clearly the outcome of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could the Lord of North Huang  lose? The power he’s shown is no weaker than that of the Lord of Chi Jin Mountain.” A warrior voiced his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s because the Lord of North Huang  is burning his divine blood. This state cannot last long. Though a dying beast is dangerous, its final fate is inevitably death.” The sage said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the situation proved exactly as the sage had predicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every punch the Lord of North Huang  threw, his muscular frame grew leaner, and after countless clashes, his body bore wounds—punch marks etched deep—but Li Yi’s young, robust body remained unbreakable, untouched to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord of North Huang , you can’t hold out any longer. You’ve fought this far only to stall me, buying time for your North Huang  bloodline’s direct heirs to flee North Huang  City.” Li Yi spoke coldly, exposing his opponent’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aged Lord of North Huang  now panted heavily, his once-muscular body reduced to a skeleton, yet he still burned his divine blood, the divine shadow behind him still intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this battle, he had unleashed four divine arts—draining every last spark of his life. Even if Li Yi stood still, he had no chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it not the duty of the old to secure survival for their descendants?” The Lord of North Huang ’s gaze remained sharp, showing no fear or regret—only a transcendent resolve beyond life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Your awakening earns my respect. Let me end you myself—it’s the honorable way to treat an aged divine-blood warrior.” Li Yi no longer hesitated; he would not prolong this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To do otherwise would be a grave disrespect to both himself and his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist, five-colored radiance coiling upon his knuckles, Long Hu power entwined, silver lightning interlaced—Dao, strength, divine blood—three forces converged into one, granting his punch unimaginable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps sensing his fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aged Lord of North Huang  did not dodge. Instead, he roared and charged straight into the fist, hoping his blood and bones would scatter beyond North Huang  City—thus honoring his ancestors of the North Huang  bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single blow, the aged body of the Lord of North Huang  exploded, blood and bone spraying everywhere—he died instantly, without struggle or hesitation, as if it were all inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Lord of North Huang  is dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight sent shock and uproar through North Huang  City, yet many sages merely sighed helplessly—after all, the outcome had been clear from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From today, North Huang  City enters the era of the Lord of Chi Jin Mountain. I am witnessing the decline of one divine-blood family and the rise of another.” A merchant lord murmured inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The North Huang  bloodline’s direct heir, Da Ze, seems to have fled with many clan members—and taken vast wealth. Clearly, they were prepared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s wise. At least they preserve their bloodline’s legacy, preventing the complete extinction of the North Huang  divine blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many watched the North Huang  bloodline’s escape in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most felt the departure of this divine-blood family might be a good thing—under their rule, the city had grown terrible. Perhaps a new lord would improve its condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slaying the Lord of North Huang , Li Yi’s expression remained calm. He said nothing, merely glanced at the remnants of the Lord’s Chi Jin battle armor, then stepped onto a blessed cloud and soared once more, heading toward North Huang  City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made no move to pursue the fleeing North Huang  bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he exterminated them utterly, future challengers would never lack for Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the victor, Li Yi must claim North Huang  City—this spoils he would not abandon. After all, he had brought over two hundred high-level cultivators across the boundary; more territory was always beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Yi returned to North Huang  City, many warriors within shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord of Chi Jin Mountain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord of Chi Jin Mountain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Yi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Yi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name spread through the city, and many merchant lords and warriors eagerly sought to follow this young, boundlessly promising new lord—because each rise and fall of a Mountain Lord always brought fortune to some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi was not skilled at governing a great city, but he knew that without rules, chaos would erupt. So he gathered a group of warriors and merchant lords and demanded their oaths to help him rule North Huang  City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not care whether they governed well or poorly—within months, once the two hundred+ three-petal cultivators regained their strength, he would send men to take over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, these warriors and merchant lords only needed to maintain basic order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone wished to challenge him, let them come to Chi Jin Mountain—he would wait there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swiftly handling a few matters, Li Yi decisively left North Huang  City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not worth his time to linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many in North Huang  City watched Li Yi depart atop the blessed cloud, feeling dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized a great city, took no Chi Jin, accepted no beauties, and vanished immediately—what kind of lord does that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Da Yi is a pure divine-blood warrior. He seeks higher realms, not to rot in North Huang  City amid Chi Jin and beauties. No wealth of a great city can sway his heart. Tell me—how could such a man not one day become a god?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sage offered this explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, many merchant lords and warriors felt deep admiration for Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, seated atop the blessed cloud, Li Yi sensed something amiss after the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, with his divine-blood concentration, he should have awakened a second divine art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had his body changed nothing since arriving in this realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, when the Lord of North Huang  unleashed his divine art, a divine will from this realm had subtly strengthened it—but nothing of the sort had happened to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this be tied to the changes in the Valley of the Buried Gods?” Li Yi wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That valley now bore a silver apple tree, the lingering divine will residing upon it, its trunk grown into a human face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the dead god had begun to revive, divine-blood warriors like him were no longer favored by this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, then that silver apple tree might one day inherit the lingering divine power of this realm, gradually reviving until full resurrection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were true, then matters had grown grave indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1207,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f4047fab5dd3e7cdd7de979cbb4bcccbe47825a16689781ab32573aa77945b2e","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-896","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-894",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
