After the Skyfall

Chapter 1003 The Fruit of Chaos
As Li Yi drifted through the chaotic world, he continued his cultivation. Although he was lonely, at least the future was full of hope, and here, he was not worried about being discovered.

On the contrary, if he were to encounter the Heavenly Emperor of another powerful clan, then they would be unlucky, and Li Yi would not mind killing them off as a matter of course.

If he were unlucky enough to run into a Celestial Venerable in the Chaos World, Li Yi would accept his fate and be too lazy to bother with anything else, so he might as well start over. However, there are only nine Celestial Venerables in the Heavenly Realm, and the Chaos World is so vast that the probability of him encountering one is not high.

Moreover, not all Celestial Venerables reside in the Chaos World.

Shake.

Li Yi wandered in the chaotic world for a full six years.

On this day, while sitting on the twenty-fourth rank purple lotus, he suddenly sensed a change in the chaotic world in front of him, as if there were abnormal fluctuations coming from it, which made him suddenly open his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yi decided to follow the direction from which the fluctuation came to investigate.

soon.

After passing through layers of chaotic energy, he suddenly saw a huge chaotic rock before him, which looked like a continent lying there, unchanging since ancient times.

"A chaotic rock? No, a chaotic rock wouldn't emit such abnormal fluctuations." Li Yi stepped onto the chaotic rock, and with one step, he traversed countless distances, instantly approaching the source of the fluctuations.

When he stopped, he saw a powerful ancient tree rooted in the middle of the chaotic rocks. This ancient tree had no leaves, and its trunk was like a fossil, but it could breathe in and out chaotic energy. What attracted Li Yi the most was that three fruits were hanging from the trunk of this tree.

Rather than a fruit, it is more like a condensation of scattered, strange energy, radiating a faint glow.

"A life born from chaos, extraordinary and strange, can even bear fruit? What kind of fruit is this?" Li Yi's eyes flickered slightly. Although he couldn't understand it, he knew very well that this ancient tree and its fruit were definitely extraordinary.

After all, the chaotic energy is something that can even melt the Heavenly Emperor's weapon. Anything that can exist in the chaotic world, except for the chaotic stone, is a treasure.

However, Li Yi did not take the risk, because everything here was fraught with danger, and the slightest carelessness could lead to his death.

Immediately, he extended his finger, a drop of blood condensed on it, and then flicked his finger, instantly transforming into a clone. He used the clone to explore the path, attempting to pluck the Chaos Fruit.

It seems Li Yi was overthinking things. His clone touched the fruit and nothing happened. However, the Chaos Fruit was not easy to pick, and the clone exhausted all its power and turned into a drop of blood again. The fruit remained unmoved.

"Is it so difficult to pick?"

Li Yi had no choice but to take action himself. He used the Star-Picking Hand of the Celestial Clan, a divine power that could easily pluck stars. Moreover, by using the power of chaos, he could even pluck the head off the Heavenly Emperor.

When he withdrew his outstretched hand, a Chaos Fruit appeared in his palm.

"What's the use of this thing? Do I eat it? Is there any danger?" Li Yi stared at the Chaos Fruit, observing it, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

Everything in the chaotic world is untraceable, even if he is the Heavenly Emperor.

However, Li Yi didn't think much of it and picked the remaining two fruits as well. He even wanted to take the ancient tree, which looked like a fossil, with him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't remove it unless he shattered the chaotic rock.

Considering the commotion would be too great, and that Li Yi really didn't think the fossil-like ancient tree was of any use, he finally decided to give up.

Perhaps after countless years, three more Chaos Fruits will grow here.

Afterwards, Li Yi continued to float in the chaotic world on the purple lotus, while also beginning to study the three chaotic fruits.

What is certain is that the first fruit seems to contain a world, a world of chaos and boundless expanse.

The second fruit seemed to have matured. Li Yi saw a world that had been fully formed. That world was somewhat like the Nine Heavens of the Celestial Realm. The earth, wind, water, and fire had reappeared. The world was desolate, the environment was harsh, and there were no living beings.

But the third fruit is the most peculiar.

It was completely empty inside, devoid of both chaos and world, yet the fluctuations emanated from within.

Unable to comprehend it, Li Yi had no choice but to put down the third Chaos Fruit and turn to study the first two fruits instead.

However, as soon as it was placed down, something unexpected happened. The twenty-fourth-grade purple lotus under its feet was attracted by the third Chaos Fruit, and instantly transformed into a purple light that entered it and disappeared.

"Damn it, my Purple Lotus is gone?" Li Yi was stunned when he suddenly found himself standing on empty ground.

But soon, he picked up the Chaos Fruit again and looked closely. He saw that his purple lotus was floating inside the Chaos Fruit, and endless power was rushing towards the purple lotus.

The purple lotus seemed to have received an extraordinary opportunity and good fortune, and it began to radiate light and continue to bloom.

This scene made Li Yi instantly realize the usefulness of the Chaos Fruit.

"Could this third Chaos Fruit reverse the innate state and nurture a supreme treasure?" He pondered for a moment, then stared at the second fruit.

Inside that fruit was a newly created world, but it was completely desolate, and its purpose was unknown.

"Perhaps it can nurture a living being." Li Yi felt that what the second Chaos Fruit lacked was a living being.

But it certainly wasn't a Heavenly Emperor like him, because he showed no reaction to the second Chaos Fruit. After all, once one cultivates to become a Heavenly Emperor, chaotic divine power flows within their body, and they might not even be considered a normal life form. He then began rummaging through the Five Elements Bracelet.

Soon, a fire phoenix egg appeared in his hand.

This is a treasure that Li Yi obtained from the Demon God Realm. He has never had the chance to use it, but now he can give it a try.

When the Fire Phoenix Egg came into contact with the second Chaos Fruit, it was instantly absorbed, just as Li Yi had guessed. Instantly, the wind, water, and fire within it surged, and endless power converged towards the Fire Phoenix Egg.

But soon.

The phoenix egg shattered instantly and vanished into the world.

"Failed?" Li Yi frowned. "But my thinking should be correct. The second Chaos Fruit can indeed nurture a living being and bear the power within it."

"Perhaps it's because there's no soul inside the phoenix egg."

He thought for a moment and decided to continue trying. He then continued searching inside the Five Elements Bracelet. Although he had many treasures and resources, he remembered that he had not brought any normal living beings with him on this trip to the Chaos World.

After searching for a long time, Li Yi finally found a precious pearl.

This is a dragon ball he obtained by hunting a Suanni when he was on Earth. It is considered a rare item. Originally, many things were left on Earth, and Li Yi did not bring them into the Heavenly Realm.

But this thing is different; it was stored in the energy chamber as the energy source for the Crimson Gold Warship, and now he has taken it out again.

Considering that there was no soul inside, Li Yi infused it with a wisp of his own primordial spirit power, hoping to deceive everyone.

"try again."

He placed the lion-shaped pearl on the Chaos Fruit.

Sure enough, the Suanni Pearl was instantly sucked in, and then the wind, water, and fire within the Chaos Fruit surged, with endless power rushing towards the Suanni Pearl.

In just a moment, the pearl shattered, and a Suanni roared out, breathing in and out the energy of heaven and earth. As the first living being in the world, it enjoyed all the creations of heaven and earth and was evolving and transforming at an incredible speed.

Once this Suanni hatches from the Chaos Fruit, its power will be terrifying; it might even become an emperor in one leap.

“A Chaos Fruit represents a world, and the things it can nurture vary. The third fruit can nurture an object, the second can nurture a living being, so what can the first fruit nurture?”

Li Yi sat on a cloud of chaos and casually sent two Chaos Fruits into the Emperor Furnace of Time. With the help of the power of time in the Emperor Furnace of Time, he accelerated the gestation of the two Chaos Fruits. Then he pondered the use of the first Chaos Fruit.

"Wait a minute, something's not right. Why is the first Chaos Fruit suddenly changing?"

Suddenly.

He noticed that the first fruit was also acting strangely; a chaotic world within it was beginning to churn, and something was absorbing the power of the Chaos Fruit and being nurtured.

Li Yi stared at it for a long time, but did not see anything inside.

It wasn't until the chaotic energy inside occasionally condensed and took on his own form, only to dissipate again, that he came to his senses.

"It's creating my clone? No, that's not right. It's not creating my clone; it's creating a clone technique for me." Li Yi suddenly realized.

The first Chaos Fruit can nurture a magical power.

He just used his clone to pick the Chaos Fruit. The clone made contact, so the clone technique was recorded by the Chaos Fruit, and now it is starting to change.

"Isn't this a huge loss? What use is my clone technique to me?" Li Yi's lips twitched.

He felt that he hadn't used the three Chaos Fruits very well.

Although the 24th grade purple lotus was extraordinary, Li Yi wanted to nurture an imperial weapon, which would greatly enhance his combat power. Unfortunately, the Chaos Fruit came into contact with the purple lotus first, and he had no choice but to choose.

As for the Suanni, the first living being to be created, let's leave it at that. After all, Li Yi has already grasped some of its secrets. But if he wants to fully utilize its power, he should send an ordinary person inside to nurture it, allowing it to become the first person in the world and enjoy the power of the Chaos Fruit. Perhaps it can forge a perfect foundation and become a new emperor.

"Forget it, it's come to this, there's no need to dwell on it." Li Yi shook his head slightly and threw the Chaos Fruit into the Time Emperor Furnace.

Hopefully, these three things will be fully formed soon, so we can see what kind of effects this treasure in the chaos will have and whether it can truly bring him some surprises.

Afterwards, Li Yi, holding the Heavenly Venerable's Token, continued to walk aimlessly through the chaotic world. He was still wandering aimlessly, but he continued to cultivate as he walked.

The 365 streams of chaotic divine power began to gradually decrease and merge together. As more and more chaotic divine power merged, his strength steadily increased.

Li Yi traveled in the chaotic world for several more months and made new discoveries.

He saw a piece of land within the chaotic world.

The land was not large, only about nine kilometers in circumference, and a Heavenly Emperor sat on it. The Heavenly Emperor seemed to be cultivating and was unaware of Li Yi's arrival.
