Retreat! We have no hope of victory anymore. The Green Serpent Demonic King is dead, the Illusionary Demonic King is dead, the Chongming Demonic King is dead too,” screamed a newly elevated demonic king, his voice filled with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to call on the other demonic kings to lead the mighty demons off the battlefield, preserving some foundation for the Divine Beast Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Retreat? Where would we retreat to? This *is* the Divine Beast Realm,” roared a peak demonic king. His combat prowess was unmatched—he had just crushed a Three-Petal Dao-attained being in fierce combat, but sadly, the man’s primordial spirit blossom had escaped, preventing total annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could strike again, a jade ruyi radiating three-colored divine light descended like a mountain, slamming down with the force of heaven and earth onto the peak demonic king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic king was grievously wounded and immediately spewed blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a Dao-attained being strikes, there is no doubt—no matter how peak a demonic king is, without reaching divine beast level, he cannot withstand a single blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Taiyi Celestial Sovereign really is a decent man—he gave me the easiest fight and went off to battle the true dragon divine beast himself,” sighed the Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign, who had once believed Earth’s people were all evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected to meet such a virtuous person at this level—it was rare indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To repay this kindness, the Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign fought even harder; though exhausting, he faced no mortal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fight these Earthlings to the death! They’re fewer in number and weaker in power—kill them all!” One arrogant demonic king refused to flee or survive, choosing instead to die on this shattered battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only wished to drag as many Earthlings down with him before he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, while some demonic kings led mighty demons away from the battlefield, most chose to fight to the death, seeking mutual annihilation with the Earthlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when the demonic kings’ blood, rage, and hatred converged and surged into the heavens,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>without warning, the very fabric of this world began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign was the first to react—he looked up at the blazing sun above, wondering if it was an illusion, but the sun seemed closer to the Divine Beast Realm—no, not closer, it was drawing nearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scorching heat now permeated the sky, and the temperature across the entire realm rose rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the command ship, Earth’s high command immediately saw alarms flashing—they had deployed numerous high-tech energy-monitoring devices at the battle’s start, alerting them whenever energy reached demonic king level, and triggering alarms for energy beyond that level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A sun is falling from the sky?” Zhao Yongshan stared at the monitor’s feed, his expression grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the image automatically adjusted, faintly capturing a blurred shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not a sun—it’s pure energy condensed into a form. There’s something inside… No good—it’s a demon! It’s the Golden Crow from myth! Yes, it’s a demon—a divine beast has appeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Jianguo also stared intently at the image, then saw the creature within the sun—though indistinct, it clearly resembled a gigantic bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the ferocity of the battle in the Divine Beast Realm awakened a second divine beast?” Others’ expressions grew grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were certain the Divine Beast Realm had made no such preparation—if they had, they wouldn’t have pinned all hope on the Purple Dragon Divine Beast. This was an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with the demonic kings’ power unleashed, the Divine Beast Realm was nearly shattered, countless demons slaughtered, their dying hatred surging into the heavens—in such a state, any divine beast still within the realm would inevitably be roused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the scorching heat intensified,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the surviving demonic kings and mighty demons all turned their gaze toward the descending blazing sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though its radiance blinded the eyes, they sensed the familiar aura of a divine beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, despair vanished, replaced by surging excitement and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the legendary Golden Crow Divine Beast!” One demonic king recognized the phenomenon and roared in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Golden Crow Divine Beast? No wonder we couldn’t find it anywhere in the Divine Beast Realm—it had been sleeping within the sun! Had this battle not been so brutal, we might never have awakened it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! A second divine beast has appeared—we haven’t lost yet! These Earth evolutionists are finished!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival of the Golden Crow Divine Beast instantly stabilized the battlefield, which had been on the verge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! We were about to win—why did another divine beast show up now?” Earth’s experts were stunned and furious—they knew Li Yi had barely defeated one divine beast at great cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this new divine beast joined the fight, all their hard-won advantages would vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Golden Crow Divine Beast had descended into the Divine Beast Realm, arriving on this battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the blazing sun, a woman clad in golden feathered robes, noble in bearing, her eyes glowing gold, stepped forward upon the true fire of the sun—her divine beast power radiated, capable of shaking heaven and earth, her might equaling that of the earlier Purple Dragon Divine Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden Crow Divine Beast, please lead us in battle for the Divine Beast Realm!” One demonic king shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Golden Crow Divine Beast showed no killing intent—she merely gazed at the Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign arrived atop five-colored auroras, holding the jade ruyi, clad in a Dao robe forged from crimson-gold divine artifacts, ready for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having witnessed divine beast power, he dared not slacken for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have slept for many years and have no wish to be drawn into this war. Let this end here—how?” The Golden Crow Divine Beast spoke coldly, her golden eyes fixed on the Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign—no killing intent, yet brimming with danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign remained calm, smiling faintly: “If you wish to end this war, you must lead the remaining demons across the realms and never return here. Otherwise, this battle is inevitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he called off the fight now, the Taiyi Celestial Sovereign would tear him apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you fight, you are no match for me,” said the Golden Crow Divine Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one said only the Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign would fight.” In the next instant, five military elites arrived together, their destinies intertwined, faintly merging into one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The legendary mythic creature—the three-legged golden crow, embodiment of the sun—yet you’re a woman? If you want to fight, then fight. Earth will not surrender its hard-won victory.” Sun Xing bowed his head slightly, eyes gleaming with divine light, a chilling aura spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s it,” the Golden Crow Divine Beast understood the Earth side’s confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign plus five destiny-strong warriors might yet defeat a divine beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Golden Crow Divine Beast calmly added: “What if I awaken a third divine beast? How will you respond?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others did not know where the third divine beast slept—but she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Eastern Ji  Celestial Sovereign, the five destiny-strong warriors, Xiang Xiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, and Earth’s high command in the command ship all paled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi was severely wounded and unable to fight another divine beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If two divine beasts joined forces, the situation would indeed be dire.\u003C\u002Fp>",1376,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","70587e6ced1f8a70a6ab3b5eaf421a45e829e5098c18e15893c43c2230d3baba","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-947","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-945",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
