After the Skyfall

Chapter 1011 Taiyi Heavenly Venerable
In this chaotic world, the secrets of heaven remain unknown.

Even the Celestial Venerables would be greatly restricted here. If it weren't for the inexplicable fetal movement coming from the Chaos World, the Celestial Venerables would not have been able to accurately locate Li Yi's position.

But the stirring of chaos is both a crisis and an opportunity, because it signifies the imminent birth of a new Celestial Venerable.

However, calamities and trials also followed.

The three Heavenly Venerables—the Demon Clan Heavenly Venerable, the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable, and the Celestial Human Clan Heavenly Venerable—are now searching for the fetus by following the direction of its movements. Although the Chaotic World is vast and full of dangers, it cannot hinder the three Heavenly Venerables' progress.

In just a short while, the three Celestial Venerables had crossed the endless chaos and arrived at the legendary primordial land.

"As expected, everything is as predicted. The Taiyi God Emperor was sent to the Primordial Land by the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial God Clan. Only the opportunities here can allow a God Emperor to transform in the shortest amount of time," said the Rakshasa Celestial Venerable.

now.

Perhaps sensing the arrival of the three Celestial Venerables, the surrounding chaotic energy suddenly surged and condensed, and several true spirits appeared, manifesting a tall figure.

The three Celestial Venerables glanced at it, unmoved: "What can you do with a few revived true spirits? In a battle between Celestial Venerables, your true spirits don't even have the qualifications to watch. Just stay obediently in the Chaos World."

"Do the three of you truly intend to exterminate us all?" The Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Clan manifested and slowly spoke, "Taiyi emerged in accordance with the times and the Way of Heaven. The three of you have come to obstruct the Way. Be careful not to incur enormous karma and face reckoning in the future."

"As a Celestial Venerable, what do I have to fear about cause and effect? ​​If I wanted to, I could simply destroy the Heavenly Realm, recreate the cycle of earth, wind, water, and fire, and create a new world." The Demon Celestial Venerable said coldly.

"There's no point in saying more. Since we're already here, let's wipe out this primeval land along with it, so that a new Celestial Venerable won't be born in the future and cause unnecessary trouble." After saying this, Rakshasa Celestial Venerable pointed his finger.

With the boundless power of creation gathered, one can achieve anything one desires.

A beam of light flew from his fingertips and landed in the primeval land.

This precious land, born from chaos, began to rapidly dissipate under the influence of the Celestial Venerable's power of creation, leaving no room for resistance.

The Celestial Venerables are merely blinded by chaos and cannot find this place; that does not mean they cannot destroy it.

In just a few seconds, this primeval land was abruptly erased, everything in the area vanished, and all the previous strange phenomena ceased.

As the Primordial Land was erased by the Celestial Venerable, the Chaos Embryo also disappeared. It seems that Li Yi, who was hidden in the Primordial Land, also vanished from this world under the influence of the Celestial Venerable's power.

Is it all over?

However, the three Celestial Venerables did not show any joy on their faces. On the contrary, they all frowned slightly and showed a solemn expression. Under the influence of the Celestial Venerables' power, the primordial land had disappeared, but only one thing remained in the chaos.

It was a purple lotus with thirty-six petals. This lotus emitted a faint purple glow, which actually withstood the power of the Celestial Venerable and was not easily erased.

“This is a chaotic spiritual treasure,” said the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Race. “It doesn’t seem to have been born from the primordial land. It has the power of creation on it, and it seems to have originated from another Celestial Venerable.”

"The one from the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness?" The Heavenly Venerable of the Rakshasa Clan's eyes flickered: "But that one's cultivation went wrong, and his true spirit fell into the myriad realms, unable to return. Only his Heavenly Venerable body remained, wandering in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness for ten thousand years. Could it be that Taiyi also has that one's handiwork on him?"

"I don't know, but this Chaos Treasure is indeed related to that one in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness," said the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Race. "Whether it's a blessing or a curse is hard to say."

"Then destroy this chaotic spiritual treasure to prevent it from causing a great disaster in the future." The Heavenly Venerable of the Rakshasa Clan was very direct. The best way to deal with something so uncertain was to destroy it.

"It's a pity to lose a Chaos Treasure, but it involves too many things, so destroying it is indeed a very safe approach." The Demon Clan Celestial Venerable nodded in agreement with this approach.

The three then exchanged glances and simultaneously unleashed a burst of Celestial Venerable power.

What appears to be a simple strike contains boundless power. This strike is enough to shatter the heavens and reopen the chaos. Even though the Chaos Treasure is infinitely powerful and extraordinary, it is still difficult to withstand the combined destruction of the three Heavenly Venerables.

Yet at this moment.

Within the thirty-six-petaled purple lotus, an infinite power of creation surged forth, dispelling the endless chaos and intertwining with the power of the three Heavenly Venerables.

It was only a fleeting moment.

A strange light appeared in the chaotic world. Within the light, countless small worlds were created and destroyed, the sun and moon were overturned, and all things ceased to exist.

"In the end, he succeeded." Upon seeing this scene, the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable, the Demon Heavenly Venerable, and the Celestial Human Heavenly Venerable sighed inwardly, feeling both helpless and uneasy.

But as Celestial Venerables, sitting high above the Nine Heavens, observing the rise and fall of the Heavenly Realm over millions of years, even in the face of such an anomaly, they remained calm and composed, as if everything was under their control.

As this power of the Celestial Venerable dissipated.

Unbeknownst to them, a person stood atop the thirty-sixth grade purple lotus platform. The person had long black hair, piercing eyes, and a robust physique, resembling a martial artist who had dominated the world, and did not look like a cultivator at all.

However, this person possessed boundless creative power, and simply standing there, he was indestructible and impervious to the passage of time.

Without a doubt, Li Yi had already broken through the Heavenly Emperor Realm and successfully entered the Heavenly Venerable Realm; that omnipotent power of creation was the best proof. "So eager to show yourself, are you rushing to your death, Taiyi?" Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable's gaze was cold, his killing intent surging.

"Throughout history, as the years have turned, you are the most amazing person I have ever seen. Rising from humble beginnings, breaking through realms one after another, you have now become a Venerable One." The Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Race spoke calmly.

"Back then, even the Celestial Venerables of the Celestial Race couldn't escape this calamity. You, who have become a Venerable today, may also perish today. What a pity," the Demon Race Celestial Venerable lamented.

Even though Taiyi had already become a Venerable, they were still not afraid, because they had previously joined forces to send a Celestial Venerable to his death, and now they could simply do it again.

Li Yi remained calm and composed, saying slowly, "Now that things have come to this, are you still unwilling to address me as the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiyi? Or do you, my seniors, look down on me, a rising star?"

"A dying man, do you think you are worthy of us reciting your title?" Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable sneered.

"The three of you have come together today to obstruct my path to enlightenment?" Li Yi asked.

“Three people are enough. However, you have just become a Venerable in the Chaos and have not yet merged with the Heavenly Dao. If you perish today, you may really perish, and your fate will be even worse than that of the Celestial God. However, if you are willing to relinquish your Celestial Venerable status and fall back to the Heavenly Emperor realm, I will allow you, the Taiyi God Emperor, to live in the Heavenly Realm and enjoy immortal bliss forever,” the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Race said calmly.

The other two Celestial Venerables also agreed.

If they could persuade a Celestial Venerable to sever his cultivation level without starting a war, they would actually be willing to keep their promise and let the Taiyi God Emperor enjoy all the riches and honors in the Heavenly Realm.

"It sounds like the three Celestial Venerables are quite benevolent, willing to make an exception." Li Yi smiled and said, "Then I will not be stingy. If the three of you are willing to give up your positions as Celestial Venerables, I will bestow upon you three ten thousand celestial maidens, ten thousand dragon maidens, and ten thousand demon maidens, so that you may reproduce, increase your race, and enjoy the joys of family life."

Upon hearing this, the three Celestial Venerables merely smiled faintly, but within that smile lay a chilling murderous intent.

Clearly, this battle was inevitable.

"In that case, let's see what you, Taiyi Heavenly Venerable, can do." Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable changed his tune at this moment, acknowledging that Li Yi was now on the same level as them.

Moreover, to dare to say such things in front of the three Venerables after only achieving initial Venerable status, such courage is indeed remarkable.

However, they did not rush to make a move, because Li Yi had already become a Celestial Venerable, and the best opportunity had passed. They did not mind chatting with this new Celestial Venerable for a while longer.

After all, having lived in the Chaos World for countless years, getting to know a new Celestial Venerable is no easy task. It's truly a bit of a shame to send him on his way so casually.

"Taiyi Celestial Venerable, considering how difficult your cultivation journey has been, let's not say we're not giving you a chance. You'd better use whatever means you have and don't hold back, lest your true spirit fall into reincarnation in the future and regret it too late when you recall your past lives." The Demon Clan Celestial Venerable said, gesturing for Li Yi to take action.

The three of them also wanted to see what amazing Celestial Venerable techniques this new Celestial Venerable could possess, since they wouldn't be able to see them again after today.

Moreover, at this level, there is no possibility of sneak attacks. To win, one must defeat the opponent fairly and squarely with strength, or, like before, outnumber the enemy and surround and kill them.

"Want to see my strength? You sound like you think you've been invincible in the Heavenly Realm for too long and want to have some fun with a newcomer like me today?"

Li Yi understood the thoughts of the three Celestial Venerables, but he was not annoyed, because they truly had the ability to do so.

"In that case, you'd better look carefully."

As the voice faded, Li Yi took a step forward, as if time and space could no longer bind him. Without any fancy techniques, he simply threw a punch, imbued with the power of creation.

He delivered this punch to Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable.

Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable merely sneered: "With fists? Do you think Heavenly Venerable is just a mortal brawl?"

He remained unmoved, but the boundless power of the Celestial Venerable surged forth, transforming into an insurmountable chasm between the two.

This distance, which seems to be only an inch apart, is like being separated by countless worlds. Even if the Heavenly Emperor spent ten thousand years, he would not be able to cross it.

Having attained enlightenment for countless years, his mastery of the power of creation has reached a level of consummate skill.

Why bother learning all the laws? With a single thought, the Heavenly Venerable can create and destroy all laws. A single thought of killing can suppress and kill the Heavenly Emperor. The four words "omnipotent" are almost engraved in his bones.

However, the confidence that Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable had cultivated over countless years was shattered.

That seemingly insurmountable barrier was easily crossed by Li Yi's punch, which landed squarely on his face.

The terrifying power of the Celestial Venerable shook the chaotic world. The body of the Rakshasa Celestial Venerable shattered in a single exchange and was completely annihilated before their eyes.

"Rakshasa Heavenly Venerable, is nothing more than this." Li Yi's voice rang out. He slowly withdrew his fist and stood up, but at this moment, double images appeared on his body.

Immediately afterwards, two more figures that looked exactly like him appeared.
