After the Skyfall

Chapter 1008 Successive Destructions
"The ancestral land of the Rakshasa clan was destroyed by the Taiyi God Emperor? And four Heavenly Emperors died in succession? No wonder the Seven Heavens were shaken before, the imperial light filled the sky, and there were strange phenomena of ghosts wailing and howling everywhere."

"The Taiyi God Emperor has fallen, killed by the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable. Indeed, such a powerful figure can only be eliminated by the Heavenly Venerable."

"We sacrificed one of the Rakshasa clan's ancestral lands, but we still managed to eliminate this major threat. Now we can breathe a sigh of relief. However, the potential of the Celestial Clan is terrifying. Despite being wiped out, they can still rise again in adversity. Now that Emperor Taiyi is dead, we should seize this opportunity to immediately encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Celestial Clan."

When news of what happened in the Seven Heavens spread among the major powerful clans, everyone was both shocked and involuntarily relieved.

The name of the Taiyi God Emperor was so oppressive that even those at the Heavenly Emperor Realm dared not venture out casually, fearing that they would be caught and killed by this Taiyi God Emperor.

For the past few days, they have been able to stick together and guard their ancestral land.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

With the fall of the Taiyi God Emperor, many powerful clans joined forces and once again launched an operation to annihilate the remnants of the Celestial God Clan. At this time, the Celestial Emperors of various clans gathered at the ancestral land of the Rakshasa Clan for a visit.

Seeing the chaotic divine power raging and the earth completely shattered, as well as the sea of ​​blood that was directly evaporated, many Heavenly Emperors fell into silence.

"Compared to the last time in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, the Taiyi God Emperor's combat power has become much stronger. The Rakshasa Clan has six Rakshasa Emperors guarding it. Even if they are not strong enough, it is not difficult for them to join forces and entangle the enemy for a while. As a result, the Taiyi God Emperor only made two attacks. One attack shattered the Rakshasa ancestral land, and the other attack killed two Rakshasa Emperors. The remaining two attacks were just pursuit."

"It's fortunate that he has perished. That Rakshasa Emperor was truly ruthless, luring the Taiyi God Emperor to my Qilin Clan in an attempt to shift the blame." A Heavenly Emperor of the Qilin Clan said with a gloomy expression.

He discerned some clues from the direction the Rakshasa Emperor fled.

"It's a pity that such a brilliant and talented God Emperor was ultimately killed by the Heavenly Venerable. Otherwise, given time, he might have been able to become a new Heavenly Venerable."

"The Celestial Race absolutely cannot produce another God Emperor. This situation can only happen once, and it must never happen a second time," another Celestial Emperor said solemnly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It was thought that with the death of the Taiyi God Emperor, this matter would be over, and the future would still belong to the powerful clans. Even if the Rakshasa clan was wiped out, as long as the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable was still alive, it would just take more time to rebuild their ancestral land and recover.

But this was just the beginning.

As news of the fall of the Taiyi God Emperor spread, the Celestial Gods, who were hiding in various parts of the Celestial Realm, were struck dumb as if by lightning. They could not believe that their only God Emperor had died.

"There's something fishy about this. How could the Taiyi God Emperor have entered the Rakshasa Clan's ancestral land alone and then been killed by the Heavenly Venerable?" When the God Emperor's son and the others heard this news, they were also very surprised.

Before leaving, the Taiyi Divine Emperor told them that he should hide himself to avoid being targeted by the Heavenly Venerable.

It hasn't been that long; logically, it's impossible for them to have acted so recklessly.

After all, he understood better than anyone that his very existence was a deterrent to the powerful races of the Celestial Realm.

However, the Divine Emperor's son and the others are unable to ascertain the truth at present, so he must lead his people into hiding as soon as possible and absolutely cannot be found again.

Hua Qing, who was diligently cultivating somewhere in the Heavenly Realm, suddenly received news of the fall of the Taiyi God Emperor, which he immediately refused to believe.

It would be foolish for Li Yi to single-handedly storm the ancestral land of the Rakshasa clan; he would never do such a thing.

"Let's wait and see how things develop," Hua Qing thought to himself. He wasn't in a hurry to draw conclusions, but instead planned to continue observing.

A month later.

Another clone of Li Yi was sent out from the depths of the chaotic world. This clone, wielding the Nine-Colored Divine Mace, traversed countless distances and arrived once again at the Seventh Heaven.

As before, this clone unleashed a devastating attack with a single gesture, and terrifying chaotic divine power reappeared in the celestial realm, heading straight for the ancestral land of the Celestial Race.

With just this one blow, the ancestral land of the Celestial Race crumbled, resembling the end of the world, and countless members of the race perished there.

Within the shattered ancestral land, two dazzling imperial lights rose up. They were two Heavenly Emperors of the Celestial Race. They were filled with doubt and uncertainty because the enemy's power was familiar to them; they had seen it before in the ancestral land of the Rakshasa Race.

That was the chaotic divine power unique to the Taiyi God Emperor, capable of destroying all laws and annihilating everything.

"Is it the Taiyi God Emperor? This, how is this possible?"

"Isn't he already dead? He was personally annihilated by the Heavenly Venerable of the Rakshasa Clan, how could he possibly appear in our ancestral land?"

"Could it be that he wasn't killed by the Celestial Venerable that day, but simply went into hiding?"

Upon seeing the Taiyi God Emperor again, the two Celestial Emperors of the Celestial Race were stunned. A person who had clearly died had reappeared a month later and even stormed into their Celestial Race's ancestral land.

However, Li Yi's clone didn't waste words with them and instantly attacked, wielding the Nine-Colored Divine Mace.

"Run!" The two Celestial Emperors were terrified. Without hesitation, they turned and ran immediately, without any intention of continuing the fight.

They also felt some regret while they were running away.

If they had known that Emperor Taiyi was not dead, they should have let the other Heavenly Emperors stay longer. Now, only the two of them are left to guard the entire ancestral land, and they can't even stop the other side.

But Li Yi's clone wouldn't give them a chance to escape. With a single step, Li Yi's clone vanished from its original spot. Then, he unleashed the Chaos Divine Power carrying the Nine-Colored Divine Mace, striking a Celestial Emperor and shattering his imperial body, destroying his soul and spirit.

He then pursued another person and killed him in front of the ancestral land of the demon race.

Then, Li Yi's clone also charged into the ancestral land of the demon race, and another earth-shattering battle broke out. The ancestral land of the demon race was destroyed in less than a moment, and three demon emperors also perished.

Such an earth-shattering event once again alarmed the Heavenly Venerable.

A vast beam of light, carrying the power of creation, burst forth from the chaos, instantly killing Li Yi's clone once again.

The one who made the move was the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Race.

The destruction of the ancestral lands of two powerful clans, the deaths of five Heavenly Emperors, and the news of the return of the Taiyi God Emperor shocked all the Heavenly Emperors in the Heavenly Realm.

All the powerful cultivators were in an uproar.

"Such an outrageous thing has happened in the Heavenly Realm. The Taiyi God Emperor, who was killed by the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable, has been resurrected and has once again invaded the ancestral land of the Celestial Race. He also destroyed the ancestral land of the Demon Race in the process."

"With five Heavenly Emperors falling in succession, does the Taiyi Divine Emperor intend to slaughter all the Emperors of the Heavenly Realm?"

"Completely wiped out? Don't talk big. Emperor Taiyi is already dead. He was killed by the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Race. There are no remains of him. I heard that only a broken piece of the Nine-Colored Divine Mace was left on the spot."

"Didn't the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable say that the Taiyi God Emperor had fallen last time? In the end, he still reappeared. Perhaps he has mastered some kind of method to resurrect the dead."

At this moment, this earth-shattering event is being discussed throughout the celestial realm.

The powerful clans that had stood in the Heavenly Realm for countless years had their three clans wiped out and nine Heavenly Emperors killed within a month. If the great battle in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness is included, a total of thirteen Heavenly Emperors died at the hands of the Taiyi God Emperor alone.

After experiencing this incident...

The major powerful clans were now in complete panic, and many Heavenly Emperors were also beginning to feel uneasy.

They feared that the deceased Taiyi God Emperor would reappear and launch a third attack using the same tactics. They wondered who he would retaliate against this time.

Therefore, the major powerful clans immediately stopped their pursuit of the Celestial Clan and summoned back all the Celestial Emperors, ordering them to return to their ancestral lands to guard them. At the same time, they began to disperse and settle some of their clansmen to avoid them being wiped out in one fell swoop.

However, these measures only address the symptoms, not the root cause.

As long as this matter is not completely resolved, the Taiyi God Emperor will forever linger like a ghost in the heavens, occasionally appearing to deliver a fatal blow to the major powerful clans.

What's most troubling is that the Taiyi God Emperor's combat power is too terrifying. Ten people couldn't kill him before. Now, does this mean that twenty or thirty Heavenly Emperors have to gather together day and night?
Or perhaps we should have the Celestial Venerable guard the ancestral land?

However, everyone knew that the reason why the Taiyi God Emperor attacked their ancestral land so frantically was because they had participated in the destruction of the Celestial God Clan.

Now, the Taiyi God Emperor is going to launch a frenzied revenge for what happened that day.

And on this day.

The Heavenly Emperors of the various powerful clans chose to gather together for a meeting to discuss matters concerning the Taiyi God Emperor.

"There's no guarantee that there won't be a third, fourth, or even fifth time after the fall of the Taiyi God Emperor. Even the Heavenly Venerable can't patrol the Heavenly Realm forever. We must find a way to resolve this," a human Heavenly Emperor said first.

"The Taiyi God Emperor is too strange. No one can survive the Heavenly Venerable's attack, even if he is a God Emperor." The Rakshasa Emperor, who had escaped death, said with a gloomy face.

"During this attack, the Taiyi Divine Emperor left behind a fragment of a Heavenly Emperor's weapon." A Heavenly Emperor took out the shattered Heavenly Emperor's weapon.

Does anyone remember this?

A dragon emperor from the dragon race immediately said, "The Nine-Colored Divine Mace is the weapon of the Five Transformations Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Race. He should not be in the Celestial Realm, but rather cultivating in seclusion in the Chaos World. He did not leave the Chaos World when the Celestial God Race was besieged last time."

"The weapon of the Celestial Emperor, who resides in the Chaos World, has appeared in the hands of the Taiyi God Emperor. What do you all think?" The Celestial Emperor who had just spoken glanced at the crowd and asked.

"The Taiyi God Emperor is in the Chaos World? If he has mastered some special regeneration method in the Chaos World, then everything makes sense." The human race's Heavenly Emperor narrowed his eyes and said.

“In that case, why not join forces and explore the Chaos World?” the Rakshasa Emperor of the Rakshasa Clan immediately suggested.

"Beware of luring the tiger away from the mountain." The Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan glanced at him coldly and said, "Only the Celestial Venerable can solve this matter. Let the Celestial Venerable search for the traces of the Taiyi God Emperor in the Chaos World. We can only guard the ancestral land and cannot move an inch."

"That's the only way." After some thought, the Heavenly Emperors realized they had no better option than to return and ask the Heavenly Venerable to come out of seclusion and completely eliminate the Taiyi God Emperor.

However, Li Yi's use of the Nine-Colored Divine Mace as a weapon may well have been motivated by the idea of ​​bringing the Celestial Venerable into the chaotic world.

Otherwise, the presence of the Celestial Venerable in the Heavenly Realm would greatly hinder the performance of his clones.
