You might explode.” Li Yi stared at him, seeing the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Irrelevant. The Golden Academy’s technology is advanced enough to rebuild my body. I can afford to lose some cultivation, but it’s all worth it.” Wu Tianji roared: “Li Yi, strike! Let me see how far your power has reached!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion erupted around Wu Tianji; at that moment, he seemed to shatter the bonds of space, his form surging forward with a power refined to its utmost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power carried boundless blood qi, terrifying martial intent, and overwhelming momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these forces converged, and with the surging spiritual energy of the heavens, a fist appeared in the sky—no, the entire heavens took the shape of a fist imprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this strike came, the vacuum shattered, and the sky darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shatter the vacuum? What nonsense—can you even do this?” Ye Jingtian’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the terror of an elder Wu Saint unleashing his full power? This blow could kill a Demon King. Under vacuum shattering, no one escapes—even an immortal’s teleportation would be sealed. Retreat! Fall back! Don’t get caught in the spatial rifts—you’ll die!” Wu Zuohua roared, pulling farther away, unwilling to get too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This old bastard’s fist is brutal,” Wang Hu muttered, stirred by the power, then swiftly retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Golden Academy experts also sensed the danger and hastily withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Tianji has reached the peak of Wu Saint—no further progress possible. I heard in his youth he aged, his blood qi declined, and his power faded. But after crossing over to Earth, he gained fortune and grew even sharper with age.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shenquan, also from the Wu Saint Continent, felt the power of this strike and showed astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this one punch alone could crush the heads of every martial artist on the Wu Saint Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the true limit of the fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet facing this fist, descending like the collapsing heavens, capable of shattering vacuum, Li Yi’s expression remained cold, showing not a trace of fear. He had faced countless powerful foes and trials on his path; no matter how dazzling the opponent, none could shake his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His divine blood had long boiled, and the hidden divine power within his veins now gathered entirely at the tip of his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder dragons roared around him; endless lightning erupted from countless voids, striking his body, causing him to radiate boundless light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All power was being summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Thunder God of the Primitive World awoke. The spell of size alteration failed; Li Yi revealed his true form amid the storm of lightning—standing a hundred zhang tall, stepping on auspicious clouds, wielding thunder dragons, spreading an ancient, desolate divine aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The god assumed a primordial fist stance and swung one punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This punch reversed mountains and rivers, dimmed sun and moon; its terrifying force shattered the vacuum too, leaving cracks like shattered mirrors wherever it passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless spatial wormholes tore open; even gates between worlds were forced open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some mortal worlds, people saw a hundred-zhang-tall god bathed in lightning, roaring and shattering mountains, unleashing a punch that overturned all understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these interdimensional visions vanished instantly—the violent power could not sustain the gate’s existence, and if this force leaked through, it would be a catastrophe for other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the power of Li Yi’s peak punch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone felt their bodies tremble at the force of this punch—it was not human power. This force could destroy worlds; only gods could wield it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that hundred-zhang-tall body did not seem made of flesh and blood. Under the lightning strikes, they saw Li Yi’s flesh exuding immortal divinity—even after unleashing such terrifying power, his body had not reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Saint versus Divine Being—the punch that shattered vacuum collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial intent and fist will entangled and clashed; unimaginable power surged through the void. Merely the overflow shook the entire continent, and even the sea a thousand li away surged into towering waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning danced in the nearby heavens; blood qi churned like an ocean of clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power at this level was so terrifying no one could believe it existed on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many years had it been since Earth’s spiritual energy revived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power of this caliber was exceedingly rare even in any major cultivation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Immortal Dao battleship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of Great Perfection cultivators who had just crossed over with Li Yi all stared wide-eyed, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this Tai Yi’s power? He has achieved the legendary Golden Skin and Jade Bones, and wields power capable of destroying a great realm,” said Yu Qing Daoist, drawing a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Great Perfection cannot survive a single strike against him,” said Xuan Zhen Daoist, his hand trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder his master, Dongji Tianzun, called him Tai Yi Tianzun and refused to fight him—if they clashed, one blow would obliterate Tianwai Tian; before victory was decided, the cultivation world might already be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another realm’s cultivation method? Flesh immortal, like becoming a god,” Dongji Tianzun narrowed his eyes, studying the hundred-zhang divine body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power and potential displayed by that body stirred even Dao Achievers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash of power continued; at this moment, the heavens tore apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the battle took place in midair; most of the released power dispersed into spatial rifts. Otherwise, even the residual shockwaves would have destroyed the Golden Academy—there would be nothing left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet such peak power was like fireworks—brilliant yet fleeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fists collided, and victory was decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure tumbled out of the vacuum—but the hundred-zhang-tall giant, like a divine being, still stood firm in heaven and earth, unyielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Tianji!” Li Shenquan roared and rushed out, catching Wu Tianji’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his eyes instantly contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tianji’s entire body was covered in cracks, like fragile porcelain. His blood qi was utterly drained; now he resembled a withered skeleton, with not a trace of power left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This, this—” Li Shenquan’s lips trembled, wanting to speak, but fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew: Wu Tianji had exhausted everything, burned himself to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had not lost the fist duel—his mortal body was simply too frail to endure it, so he was knocked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—I saw the path ahead for Wu Saints. It’s the acupoints. Acupoints. Open the acupoints, smelt the essence blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tianji suddenly opened his eyes, reviving like a corpse returning to life. He gripped Li Shenquan’s arm with his withered hand and screamed in a hoarse voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the human acupoints, use them to replace blood qi and power. Form a great array within the body, channel the power of heaven and earth. Those who reach this realm may be called Wu Shen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Shen. Wu Shen. Wu Shen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared three times, both excited and elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had only clashed one punch with Li Yi, he had sensed the most fundamental truth within Li Yi’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was the very foundation of Li Yi’s Divine Martial Way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the elder Wu Saint truly deserved his reputation? He had truly opened a new realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Acupoints… Wu Shen?” Li Shenquan froze, struck by those few words—he too was a Wu Saint, his talent no lesser than Wu Tianji’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female Wu Saint beside him looked on with complex eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this worth it for Wu Tianji?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already crossed over and solved aging—immortality was no longer out of reach. Yet he sacrificed everything to pursue a new martial path, and now, in this state, could he even be saved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Opening acupoints and smelting essence blood isn’t enough. Even a Wu Saint’s body is still too fragile. The acupoints will quickly reach their limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Yi’s voice rang out. His hundred-zhang-tall, lightning-wreathed body rapidly shrank, and he guided the elder Wu Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no objection to the elder walking the same path as him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Earth, where countless methods coexisted, forging one’s own path was best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet seeing the elder’s condition, Li Yi took a vial of Life Water from his Crimson Gold Five-Element Bracelet and injected it directly into the elder’s withered body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vial of Life Water contained immense life essence—capable of regenerating flesh and bone, reviving the dead, and rapidly healing bodily damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Wu Saint’s complexion immediately flushed with color; his cracked body repaired itself visibly, his drained blood qi replenished, and the torrent of life essence continuously purified him, cleansing all hidden injuries and aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great fortune,” Li Shenquan murmured inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Wu Tianji had been on the brink of death moments ago, he was now fully restored—and his body nourished. When he recovered, he would be stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1640,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e8ab345be444cb5a2725e076c8107e1406de833749ddd91cfa0cdfb8578f2405","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-927","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-925",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
