After the Skyfall

Chapter 1005 Forced Intrusion
Li Yi stood near the Heavenly Venerable Palace for most of the day. He had obtained some information about the palace from the other three Heavenly Emperors. Seeing that they were getting impatient, he figured there was no point in continuing.

He immediately emerged from the chaotic energy.

Upon seeing that Li Yi had made a move, the three Heavenly Emperors near the Heavenly Venerable Palace immediately perked up, thinking that they had finally convinced him to cooperate.

But soon the expressions of the three Heavenly Emperors changed.

Murderous intent!
They sensed an extremely dangerous killing intent, an intent that even made a powerful Heavenly Emperor feel a chill, as if he was about to encounter a great calamity, a very perilous situation.

"You dare to show murderous intent towards the three of us? You're courting death!" One of the Heavenly Emperors was furious. He didn't even wait for Li Yi to make a move before decisively launching an attack. The terrifying power of the Heavenly Emperor swept over them.

The chaotic energy was torn apart.

The other two Heavenly Emperors also had icy gazes and instantly drew their Heavenly Emperor Weapons. If the other party still didn't know what was good for him, they wouldn't mind surrounding and killing him here.

However, the next moment, something shocking happened.

A chaotic fist light suddenly burst forth, instantly shattering the vast and mighty power of the Heavenly Emperor. Even with its remaining force undiminished, it directly struck the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Race who had just made the move.

Just one hit.

The Celestial Emperor was blasted into the chaos, his divine body was violently shattered, and blood splattered everywhere. He was already bleeding after just one round.

"This combat power, cough cough." The Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Race coughed as he looked up in shock, a hint of fear showing in his eyes.

To injure a Heavenly Emperor of the same realm with a single strike—this combat power is simply terrifying. When did the Heavenly Realm produce such a freak with unparalleled combat power?
"Three mediocre talents, who have cultivated for so many years, are no match for a single blow from me. Very well, since we've already torn off all pretenses and started fighting, I'll just send you all on your way today."

Li Yi said coldly, a royal sword already appearing in his hand. A galaxy was reflected in the blade, with countless stars twinkling. But with the blessing of the chaotic divine power, the royal sword hummed and exuded a terrifying aura.

"The Celestial Emperor's Weapon of the Celestial Clan, the Star-Slaying Emperor Blade? It used to be the Celestial Emperor's Weapon, but that Sun and Moon God Emperor perished in the Chaos Secret Realm a long time ago. However, the Emperor Blade was taken away by other God Emperors of the Celestial Clan." The human Celestial Emperor seemed to recognize the Emperor Weapon, and his expression immediately darkened: "So you are a God Emperor of the Celestial Clan?"

"Remnants of the Celestial God Clan?" The Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Race and the remaining Celestial Emperor of the Qilin Clan both remained expressionless.

They remembered that the Celestial Race had been wiped out, and all the named God Emperors within the race had been surrounded and killed, leaving only some insignificant Celestial Race members to flee throughout the Celestial Realm.

"Could it be a newly ascended God Emperor?" This thought popped into their minds.

Because they had been living in the Chaos World and were unaware of the changes in the outside world, they were not aware of the name of the Taiyi God Emperor, let alone the Heavenly Emperor Slaying Battle in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, where the Taiyi God Emperor fought against ten opponents and killed four Heavenly Emperors.

"There's no point in saying more. Regardless of whether he is the God Emperor of the Celestial Race or not, this battle is unavoidable today. We should surround and kill him, and then discuss everything else after we win." Although the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Race was injured, he had recovered to about 70-80% of his strength and took out a Celestial Emperor weapon.

It was a nine-colored treasure mace; with just a casual wave, the surrounding chaotic energy was forcefully dispersed.

"That makes sense." Both the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race and the Heavenly Emperor of the Qilin Race deeply agreed.

However, suddenly...

The Celestial Emperor's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he abruptly raised the nine-colored mace in his hand to retaliate.

A resounding impact echoed through the chaotic world as an imperial blade, imbued with the power of chaos, cleaved down, unleashing pure, overwhelming force without any supernatural abilities or spells.

The Celestial Emperor immediately sensed something was wrong. He gritted his teeth and roared in an attempt to resist, but the power of the Emperor's Blade had already exceeded his limit.

In an instant, the Nine-Colored Treasure Mace was blasted away, and the Emperor's Blade descended, its blade light, like a silver river, instantly engulfing it completely. There was no room for resistance; the Emperor's body was annihilated, and his primordial spirit dissipated.

With a single blow, the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Race was killed head-on despite wielding the Celestial Emperor's Weapon.

During the years he cultivated in the Chaotic World, Li Yi's strength increased again. He could withstand an attack from a Heavenly Emperor of the same realm, although he was seriously injured at the cost.

But now.

Even a direct hit would be fatal; this combat power has exceeded the Heavenly Emperor's limit. Let alone surrounding and killing him, surviving in his hands would be considered lucky.

"His strength is very strange. We are no match for him. Let's go quickly." Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Race perish, the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race was instantly shocked. He immediately lost all fighting spirit and turned to run without saying a word.

Fighting such freaks? Those two? Don't even dream about it.

Even ten, no, twenty Heavenly Emperors might not be able to kill him. This is no longer a powerful emperor that a Heavenly Emperor can deal with. Only a Heavenly Venerable can stop him.

The two Heavenly Emperors were startled and fled to the left and right at great speed.

But they were fast, and Li Yi acted just as quickly.

Two streams of chaotic divine power flew out, heading straight for the two of them.

With just a simple strike, they had already cut off their escape route, forcing them to unleash their full power and use the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon to withstand the attack.

The human emperor had just paid the price of injury to block this chaotic divine power, but the next moment a ray of imperial blade light flashed and his imperial body shattered, killing him instantly.

The last Heavenly Emperor of the Qilin Clan fared no better. Although he managed to escape a little further, an ancient spear tore through the chaos and pinned him directly to a huge chaotic boulder.

"The Primordial Emperor Spear of the Black Dragon Emperor?" The Qilin Emperor coughed up blood, his heart trembling as he looked at the familiar Heavenly Emperor weapon. Even the Black Dragon Emperor's Heavenly Emperor weapon had fallen into this person's hands; the Black Dragon Emperor was most likely in grave danger.

"You Heavenly Emperors are indeed quite experienced, recognizing all the Heavenly Emperor weapons in my possession. However, this does not change the fact that you have been defeated." Li Yi's voice echoed in the chaos, and he took a step forward, arriving in front of the Qilin Emperor.

He held the Star-Slaying Emperor Blade in one hand and a Blood-Weeping Killing Sword in the other.

"Even the Rakshasa Emperor of the Rakshasa Clan perished at your hands?" Upon seeing the blood-red imperial sword, the Heavenly Emperor of the Qilin Clan was once again horrified.

Just how many Heavenly Emperors did this person hunt down? Those Heavenly Emperor weapons are the best proof, and that's only what we can see; there are others we can't see.

Li Yi didn't say anything more, but simply raised the blood-red Emperor Sword in his hand. With the blessing of chaos, the Emperor Sword hummed and emitted a blood-red sword light.

Cut through with one sword.

The Qilin Emperor roared in resentment, trying to break free from the shackles of the Primordial Emperor Spear and fight the person in front of him again. However, the Chaos Divine Power imbued on the Emperor Spear rendered him powerless. His Heavenly Emperor Power seemed to be sealed off, and he could only watch helplessly as a blood-red sword light appeared.

The next moment, a huge Qilin head fell into the chaos.

Then the emperor's body shattered and returned to nothingness, leaving only a blue scale armor in its place.

This is the Heavenly Emperor's weapon, the Earthly Venerable Armor, belonging to the Qilin Emperor.

However, with the support of the Chaos God Power, the Primordial Emperor Spear even pierced through this Emperor Armor. But if it weren't for the protection of this Emperor Armor, the Qilin Emperor would not have been able to survive after taking a hit.

"A defensive Heavenly Emperor's weapon? No wonder it was so difficult to kill." Li Yi took the imperial armor.

But then Emperor Armor immediately changed its form, transforming into a huge, majestic blue Qilin statue.

Then he took the nine-colored divine mace.

As for the fallen human emperor, he seemed to be rather poor, lacking his own imperial weapon, and his imperial palace was also damaged in the attack, making it impossible for him to inherit the family fortune, which is a pity.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. When facing an enemy, you can't hold back just to avoid damaging things.

After tidying up, Li Yi turned his gaze to the Heavenly Venerable Palace.

There was a power at the gate of the palace that he recognized; it was the power of creation.

Under the influence of the power of creation, this palace, though seemingly easily destroyed with a single blow, is actually indestructible. Only when the power of creation is exhausted can the gate be opened.

Without hesitation, Li Yi raised the Blood-Weeping Divine Sword and unleashed a blood-red sword light by channeling his chaotic divine power.

The sword light possessed terrifying power, enough to engulf the starry sky and destroy all things.

However, the impact on the Heavenly Venerable Palace did not create a single ripple, nor did it shatter a single stone. Thus, the palace remained intact for millennia, unshakable in the slightest.

"Even I can't break through this Heavenly Venerable Palace, so it's no wonder that the three Heavenly Emperors have been sitting here for so many years, unable to make any progress," Li Yi thought to himself.

However, he was determined to investigate the secret behind the disappearance of the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Clan.

He unleashed several attacks in succession, attempting to obliterate the power of creation emanating from it.

However, Li Yi's approach was not very effective. Although it weakened the power of creation above, he felt that it would probably take hundreds of years to get in.

He cannot continue attacking here for hundreds of years.

“There is only one way to enter the Heavenly Venerable Palace ahead of time, and that is to use the power of creation to counter the power of creation.” Li Yi then took out the Emperor Furnace of Time.

When he was refining the blood of the Heavenly Venerable in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, he preserved a lot of the power of creation. However, he always used it sparingly because every bit he used was one bit less. He would only use it in critical moments.

Although we don't know what's inside the Celestial Venerable's Palace, we have no other choice at the moment.

"Help me open the Heavenly Venerable Palace before me." Li Yi took a portion of the power of creation and then added it to the Blood-Weeping Killing Sword. With the addition of Chaos Divine Power, he unleashed another sword light.

The sword light remained unchanged, just as it had been before.

However, under the influence of the power of creation, this sword light actually shook the palace, cleaving a crack in it with a single strike.

"It split open?"

Li Yi's expression shifted, and without further hesitation, he transformed into a beam of divine light and headed straight for the Heavenly Venerable's Palace.

At this moment, he entered smoothly along the crack without any hindrance.

The room was bright and free of any chaotic energy, but a statue carved from a piece of chaotic stone immediately caught Li Yi's attention.
