The beasts of the Demon God Realm have finally met their due.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another battlefield, Wang Chengjun, Li Weiguo, Zhao Jiaodong, Sun Xing, and Zhang Weiming—the five experts specializing in Qi Destiny techniques—had just joined forces to slay a Demon King, when they sensed something and immediately gazed into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up. Kill as many Demon Kings as possible before they escape this continent; otherwise, they’ll remain enemies in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Weiming, the Qi Destiny expert, spoke without a smile, his voice heavy with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They killed so many of our Evolved Ones, invaded our homeland—this war will settle the score,” added another expert, Sun Xing, adjusting his hat brim and letting out a low grunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chengjun and Li Weiguo led the charge, crossing the heavens directly toward the fleeing Demon Kings, hoping to intercept and kill one or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Li Yi rode the Immortal Warship at the very front—he had already sensed several Demon Kings’ murderous gazes fixed on him, as if issuing warnings and defending their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Li Yi, it meant nothing; he ignored their warnings and dispatched five Peak-Cultivation Daoists to confront them—if the Demon Kings refused to flee, they would face the combined assault of five Peak-Cultivation Daoists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet along the way, all thirty-three Peak-Cultivation Daoists had been sent out; even Xiangxiangzi and Xuan Yuezi had gone to fight Demon Kings, leaving only Li Yi and Dongji Tianzun aboard the warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason neither had acted yet was to conceal themselves and remain alert for any possible appearance of a Demon God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everything had proceeded smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mishaps still occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one battlefield, five Peak-Cultivation Daoists had been surrounding a single Demon King, but when they finally engaged, two more Demon Kings suddenly emerged—male and female, seemingly a married pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, the two Demon Kings unleashed a terrifying strike that directly struck one of the Peak-Cultivation Daoists; though the Daoist wore crimson-gold battle armor and was formidable, the sudden attack shattered his body instantly, leaving only a Primordial Spirit flower, which others swiftly rescued, barely saving his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two Demon Kings? Damn it! Their auras merged, evading our detection—we were careless! Call for reinforcements immediately!” The other four Peak-Cultivation Daoists, shocked and furious, sent out a distress signal without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though four against two still held an advantage, Li Yi demanded absolute certainty—he wanted to seize this first continent without bloodshed, without costly losses among his top-tier experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My spouse and I have never sought conflict. Why have your Earth Evolved Ones invaded our territory?” spoke a great demon with twin horns—this one was Tianwei Demon King; the woman beside him, with beast ears and a fox tail, was called Baixiang Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great-realm conflicts have always been this way. Last year, Demon Kings from the Demon God Realm invaded Earth, feeding on Evolved Ones, destroying cities and lands—this debt must be settled now,” said Xuanzhen Daoist coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was the doing of Tianyue Demon King and Jin Yu Demon King—none of my doing,” Baixiang Demon King glared at them. “If you withdraw now, we’ll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, my spouse and I have no qualms about sending all four of you to your deaths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A demon is a demon—once a demon, always a demon. Today you may not eat humans, but that doesn’t mean you won’t tomorrow. If you claim innocence, what of the tens of millions in Earth’s cities? Did they ever harm you? Yet they were driven to flee by your Demon God Realm’s demons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanzhen Daoist spoke, not rushing to attack, waiting for reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared the two Demon Kings might strike back in desperation, taking several with them in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Past deeds bring present consequences. As Demon Kings, you should understand a little of the Dao’s truth—can mere claims of innocence shield you from this war? And just now, when you struck together, there was no mercy in your attack. Had I been less fortunate, I’d already be dead.” Another Peak-Cultivation Daoist’s gaze was equally cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Very well. Since words are useless, let strength decide. I shall see what skill your Earth cultivators possess to withstand my spouse and I together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianwei Demon King gripped his Demon King weapon, his killing intent surging; he glanced at his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their minds were in perfect sync—they understood each other’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they had already eliminated one enemy, if they killed just one more, the remaining three would be no threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Demon Kings struck first. Tianwei Demon King roared, instantly manifesting his true form—a colossal black demonic ox, towering to the heavens, wielding boundless divine power; ancient Dao marks coiled around its body, and its Demon King weapon transformed into twin horns, radiating divine light. The ox charged forward, tearing through vacuum, its massive body like a collapsing world crushing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baixiang Demon King unleashed all her Demon King power—a force capable of corrupting hearts, clouding the Primordial Spirit, and sealing the six senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t need to kill—she only needed to buy Tianwei Demon King a single breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanzhen Daoist had intended to act, but was momentarily disrupted by the Demon King power; though his Three Flowers quickly bloomed with light, restoring his clarity, the demonic ox was already upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils contracted sharply—he was too late to counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he wasn’t the only one affected; the other three Daoists hesitated as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such hesitation might be harmless under normal circumstances—but now, it would cost lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianwei Demon King unleashed his fatal strike—Xuanzhen Daoist was doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at that critical moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across heaven and earth, streaking from afar with blinding speed, striking precisely upon Tianwei Demon King’s descending horns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning flared, thunder exploded, and a power far more terrifying than any Demon King’s erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianwei Demon King’s horns shattered instantly; his colossal demonic ox body was violently hurled backward, the residual force tearing his Demon King body apart, spewing torrents of Demon King blood across the heavens, nearly staining the sky red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianwei Demon King screamed, his body crashing onto the earth, shattering mountains and cracking the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Baixiang Demon King, shocked and furious, abandoned all else, summoning her Demon King power to seize Tianwei Demon King and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silver bolt of lightning split from the heavens, as if cleaving the world itself, striking the Baixiang Demon King with pinpoint accuracy, blasting her into severe injury and causing her to spit blood; the Tianwei Demon King’s lower half was cleanly severed in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five Peak-Cultivation Daoists nearly overwhelmed by two Demon Kings? You’ve been away from the Heavenly Realms too long—you’ve forgotten how to fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, a silver lightning flash appeared, accompanied by a voice—Li Yi stepped forth, walking upon auspicious clouds, draped in thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taiyi Tianzun!” Xuanzhen Daoist and the other three Peak-Cultivation Daoists immediately bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Li Yi’s rebuke, they hung their heads in shame, offering no defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this battle had been humiliating—if Li Yi hadn’t arrived in time, Xuanzhen Daoist’s death would have made the situation dire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi didn’t scold further; he still needed these men to fight. His gaze locked onto the two Demon Kings—he had seen everything, and he understood why these Peak-Cultivation Daoists had been caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In combat awareness and coordination, these two Demon Kings were exceptional; combined with the earlier chaos and their loss of initiative, being ambushed was understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A power beyond Demon King…” Baixiang Demon King gritted her teeth, blood dripping from her lips, yet she stared unblinkingly at Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From him, she sensed a terrifying aura like a god’s—an unimposing frame housing boundless divine power, an aura that inherently suppressed Demon Kings, evoking instinctive awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marital devotion is rare. Normally, I’d allow you both to send your Primordial Spirits away, to reincarnate across realms and reunite. But now—I’m sorry. I can only send you both to your deaths.” Li Yi said nothing, merely gestured to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanzhen Daoist and the other three Peak-Cultivation Daoists instantly understood, charging together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wife, flee—I’ll hold them off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his Demon King body had been severed and he bore Li Yi’s devastating blow, Tianwei Demon King unleashed a final surge of peak power, determined to delay the others and let Baixiang Demon King escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanzhen Daoist darted behind him, his crimson-gold divine sword blazing with ten-thousand-zhang golden light, slicing clean through Tianwei Demon King’s neck, severing his massive Demon King head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baixiang Demon King was pierced through by the other three Peak-Cultivation Daoists’ techniques, her demonic soul erased outright; her true form revealed, she died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi stood aside, watching coldly; only after the battle ended did he turn and leave, leaving Xuanzhen Daoist and the others to handle the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>",1758,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3470395d0003f6603c878d863d52fc66745d12d0b2fade58c88d04ea98d61af4","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-936","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-934",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
