Whether it’s Earth or other worlds, the resources they offer can no longer help Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, your strength has improved further.” At that moment, Hua Qing’s voice sounded; from afar across the cloud sea stood a child, exquisitely carved like porcelain, only half a meter tall, arms crossed, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve grown? How long did I cultivate?” Li Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Qing said: “Not long—only three months have passed. Cultivation knows no time; your breakthrough speed is already fast enough. This is the benefit of destiny. Had you cultivated step by step, you’d still be crawling around on Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though my realm has advanced, my combat power hasn’t increased much from my peak. Only when my injuries fully heal can I surpass my former self,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my homeland, there are things that can restore your divine blood—don’t worry. I’ve nearly finished preparing. It’s time to set out again. Are you ready?” Hua Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.” Li Yi stretched his limbs, adjusted to the power within his body, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Hua Qing appeared as an infant, he was extremely mature and composed. He flipped his palm, and a knife coin appeared, radiating crystalline, luminous brilliance—unlike before, it had fully restored to its peak state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have spent this time repairing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’re ready, I’ll begin breaking through the boundary. This time, no rest, no stops—I’ll carry you straight to my homeland,” Hua Qing said, then waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knife coin shot forth, instantly cleaving open a cross-realm gate; a temporal-spatial passage reappeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged ahead without hesitation; Li Yi, unwilling to fall behind, followed closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dimensional gate closed, the two, protected by the knife coin’s radiance, crossed countless worlds, following a special path, step by step breaking free from their cages, heading toward a vaster realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi now noticed the changes around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivation realms they passed through grew increasingly numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered a world of gods, but that world was not peaceful—gods warred, and the world teetered on collapse. He briefly passed through a realm of giants, even more terrifying than the Wildlands. He wandered endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, at the end of darkness, light appeared—a formless barrier blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve arrived,” Hua Qing’s gaze flickered. “This is the Heavenly Embryo Membrane—indestructible, the barrier of this great realm. Even in my peak, I couldn’t break it. Only the knife coin can tear open a corner, allowing us to cross.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So once we enter here, we can’t cross realms again?” Li Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. Even the strongest in this realm struggle to open a cross-realm gate. Don’t find it strange—the higher the world’s level, the stronger its defenses. Only the space of low-tier worlds is unstable. Without the Heavenly Embryo Membrane’s protection, great battles between experts would destroy entire worlds,” Hua Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That makes sense,” Li Yi nodded slightly; Hua Qing’s words were correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his battle in the Wildlands, he had clearly felt the Wildlands were sturdier than Earth—battle aftershocks caused little damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knife coin became a radiant beam, adhering to the Heavenly Embryo Membrane, then prying open a narrow passage—small, but sufficient for cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately shrank their forms and flew inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the knife coin transformed into a beam of light and returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Li Yi acted—he reached out through space, snatching the knife coin into his palm, then said: “This knife coin belongs to me. Now, it’s returned to its rightful owner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Qing chuckled: “You’re so cautious. Don’t worry—I won’t fight you for it. Take it. Now that I’m home, I don’t need it anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. But I’d rather say it upfront—better to avoid friction,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he observed his surroundings again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two now stood atop an endless sea. The water was strange—some regions black, others blue, thick with the essence of the Five Elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi inhaled just once, and his magic power swelled several fold. It wasn’t merely spiritual energy here—there was another peculiar energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy was of extremely high grade, greatly beneficial to cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is bad,” Hua Qing’s expression changed as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Li Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Qing’s tiny face grew grim: “Though coordinates shift slightly during cross-realm travel, they shouldn’t deviate this much. We’re on the Gui Xu Sea—can’t stay here. Head east toward the sun, move fast, and be ready for battle at any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he instantly transformed into a beam of light and plunged into Li Yi’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move your primordial spirit aside—I’ll temporarily reside in you. I don’t want to get eaten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...” Li Yi fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed something—his expression changed sharply as he stared at a distant stretch of deep sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea exploded—a monstrous creature burst forth, charging at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi couldn’t make out what it was, only saw a pair of cold, vertical pupils. Without hesitation, he summoned divine power, activated magic energy, and roared as Dragon and Tiger united, launching a punch through space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! As power erupted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, something unthinkable happened: his attack failed to repel the figure. Instead, Li Yi was struck—he flew backward instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi felt an immensely terrifying force strike him—stronger than a demon god’s, capable of instantly shattering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after being flung several kilometers, he barely stabilized his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle armor had appeared on his body—glowing with starlight, indestructible, shielding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Black Gold Star Armor Master Tian Gong forged for me,” Li Yi thought. Even so, he was shaken, blood streaming from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did he clearly see the creature’s form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resembling a dragon, resembling a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a Bishui Beast—Gongfu, flee immediately! If one appears, there’ll be a whole group,” Hua Qing urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s face turned pale at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even one was this ferocious—if he hadn’t broken through earlier, he’d have been killed outright. If a group appeared, he’d be devoured down to the last speck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d originally planned to draw the Demon God Sword and fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he didn’t even consider fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed the Cloud Riding Mist Soaring Technique to its limit, his form shifting between solid and vapor, fleeing at top speed eastward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bishui Beast let out a roar, diving into the sea, chasing after Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s following. This thing moves faster in water than in air,” Hua Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel it—its aura is closing in rapidly. At least four more auras are heading toward me. I’ve really stirred up a nest. How unlucky—I just crossed realms and got this.” Li Yi grimaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not really. Bishui Beasts are weak even in the Gui Xu Sea—that’s why they live in groups. Aren’t you, as an Evolver, aware of that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The weak cluster. The strong travel alone,” Hua Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talking—I feel it’s catching up,” Li Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a Bishui Beast surged from the side, its massive head breaking the surface, then spitting a beam of ultimate light at Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though quiet in sound, its power exceeded the peak strike of the Purple Dragon Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost!” Li Yi gripped the Demon God Sword and slashed out a thunderous blade slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two attacks collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon God Sword’s strike slightly prevailed, cleaving through the beam and slicing the Bishui Beast’s body—opening a minor wound, but not fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly monstrous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this strike, Li Yi roughly understood their power disparity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the Demon God Sword and Black Gold Star Armor, slaying one Bishui Beast wasn’t hard—but he couldn’t withstand their pack assault.\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b0d3210a9cf33d17baa171ea03219ead48cc8a4e6cab3dc5faa1581163f27759","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-961","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-959",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
