After the Skyfall

Chapter 797 Arming the Masses
"Li Yi."

Some of Li Yi's former comrades had mixed feelings when they saw him again. They had thought that Li Yi's appearance on the battlefield was the beginning of a change in the situation, and that there would definitely be many more strong people like him in the future. In the end, they would unite, defeat the enemy, and reclaim the Earth.

But it's a pity.

When Li Yi was being hunted down by the Demon King and forced to cross realms, the situation returned to what it was before, or even worse, causing many people to feel indignant.

If the Demon King hadn't intervened and Li Yi had continued to participate in the battle, the final outcome would have been uncertain.

Therefore, when Li Yi returned to Earth's defense line, many people were willing to respond to his call, just like in that battle, to wipe out the great demons and cultivators and finally get their revenge.

"Li Yi, I heard from Ye Jingtian that you've returned to Earth's defenses this time because you plan to take the initiative, defeat the enemy, and drive them off Earth? Although I'm willing to go crazy with you, I want to know, in this situation, what are your chances of winning?" Xiang Feiming asked.

His question reflects the thoughts of many others.

They are not afraid to go to the battlefield, nor are they afraid to risk their lives. The key is to see a chance to win. They cannot accept rushing out to die just to vent their anger.

"Now that everyone has arrived, Xiang Feiming, do you really think that with our eighty-odd experts, we can't defeat those powerful enemies?" Li Yi said calmly.

“Even though you, Li Yi, have brought in a lot of outside help, just considering the number of people on the Xuanxian Continent alone, it is at least four times that of us. The two demon kings of the Demon God Realm are also frantically calling on great demons to come to the battlefield. The number of great demons gathered now is frighteningly large.” Xiang Feiming said, “As for the evil gods of the dark world, there is no need to mention them. Heaven knows how many evil gods are entrenched in that dark sky.”

"Is the outcome of a war determined by the number of people?" Li Yi slowly said, "Right now, our top combat power is no weaker than theirs. If they want to win, both True Immortals and Demon Kings would have to go into battle together. I bet they don't have that kind of guts."

"Whether you think I'm reckless or crazy, it won't affect my next move. Those who are willing to participate and fight back with me can stay; those who aren't can leave."

With that, Li Yi waved his hand and took out dozens of crimson gold artifacts from the crimson gold five elements bracelet.

"As for those who participate in the battle, I will lend them weapons. These are top-tier Dao artifacts that are no less powerful than immortal artifacts. You can choose two of them."

The light from dozens of crimson gold artifacts illuminated the sky, so bright that they could barely open their eyes.

Everyone was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Li Yi was so decisive, not even bothering to explain further, and directly issued weapons, inviting him to join the battle.

After a brief silence, the hatred and passion in the hearts of many were ignited.

"Damn it, let's do it! What's the point of thinking so much? What's the point of all the calculations? We'll only know if we can win after the fight. I don't want to suffer this humiliation anymore. I'd rather die in battle today!" Jiang Yue roared, his emotions running high, directly stating his stance.

Then, with a glance, he directly took a piece of crimson gold armor and a crimson gold divine sword.

If you have such powerful weapons and don't dare to fight, what's the difference between you and a piece of trash?

"Eighty-odd people are eighty-odd people. There are ways to fight when there are fewer people. What's there to be afraid of?" Liu Yunbai said coldly, "Lend me two divine weapons, and I'll kill two powerful enemies for you to see."

As he spoke, he also took two pieces of crimson gold artifacts.

“That’s right, count me in.” Zheng Duoduo, being a woman, also took a deep breath and stepped forward.

She believed that Li Yi could turn the tide and win a war last time, and he could do it again this time.

Moreover, after obtaining the two crimson gold Dao artifacts, her confidence increased even more. Such powerful weapons were so strong that even a Mahayana cultivator might not be able to break through their defenses. How could she not win?
Seeing this, the other evolved beings no longer hesitated and expressed their willingness to borrow the crimson gold artifacts and participate in this seemingly insane battle.

Seeing this, Li Yi remained unmoved and simply waited for everyone to join in.

He knew that relying on just over forty cultivators was not enough to contend with the foundation of a great world. He could only try to unite as many forces as possible. Unfortunately, time was of the essence. If he waited until his father, Li Jiye, from the Incense World had trained the army, the people of other worlds would face a true nightmare.

However, it will be at least several decades before that day arrives, and Li Yi doesn't have that much patience.

However, if this operation goes smoothly, it could buy Earth a long period of time to develop.

"In addition to the Crimson Gold Dao Artifacts, I will also give each of you a bottle of Divine Water. This can heal injuries and accelerate the body's evolution. I need you all to be in the best condition to depart with me in an hour." After seeing that the Crimson Gold Dao Artifacts had been received, Li Yi distributed the Water of Life to everyone.

Of course, it's not just the evolved beings on Earth who have a share; other cultivation masters also have a share.

After all, a battle is about to begin, and even with a crimson gold artifact, there is still a possibility of injury.

"What terrifying vitality! The hidden injuries in my body have actually healed."

After an evolved being obtained a bottle of divine water, he only took a small sip, and his whole body seemed to be enveloped by a surging life force. His pores opened up, and an amazing energy emanated from him.

My body is evolving rapidly, all kinds of hidden injuries have been cleansed away, and I have an indescribable feeling of comfort. Even my soul has become much stronger.

What they fear most when injured in battle is not losing an arm or a leg, but being eroded by the opponent's power, such as the spiritual power of a cultivator or the demonic power of a great demon. These forces, if left in the body, will constantly damage it like maggots, affecting your strength. In fact, if the injury worsens, it can cause your physical body to collapse, and you will eventually have no choice but to rely on the Cradle of Life to rebuild your body.

However, after reshaping his physical body, his strength will be greatly reduced, and it will take a long time to recover to his peak. In the end, he will be forced to leave the Earth's defense line.

"Weapons and medicine, Li Yi, you're really generous." Ye Jingtian couldn't help but laugh.

If everyone on Earth were like this, the situation wouldn't have turned out this way.

It's important to understand that many powerful evolved beings have crossed over and never returned. If they simply left on their own, that would be one thing, but they often take many precious resources with them.

For example, some top-notch cultivation methods, some unique cross-dimensional coordinates, and a group of like-minded masters.

This is a serious weakening of the Earth's overall strength.

"This is not the time to be stingy," Li Yi said, glancing at Ye Jingtian. "After all, it's time to fight to the death. If we don't use some good things now, are we going to take them to our graves?"

"That's true," Ye Jingtian said with a smile.

However, Li Yi still had many more Crimson Gold Dao artifacts inside his Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet, but he didn't take them out anymore. This was because not everyone had such powerful magic as him, enough to wear five layers of precious armor, wield two Crimson Gold divine swords, and fight continuously against powerful enemies.

For most people here, wielding two crimson gold artifacts is already the limit; any more than that, and they won't be able to unleash the full power of the crimson gold artifacts.

After making these arrangements, Li Yi said no more and simply waited quietly for the time to come.

The hour is not only for these evolved beings to adjust their state, but also for them to quickly familiarize themselves with the use of the Crimson Gold Dao Artifact. Of course, this last bit of time can also be used to make arrangements for their affairs.

"Fairy, can you contact Senior Cang Erzi? I remember that Cang Erzi is lying low on the Xuanxian Continent. He even appeared on Earth last time. This time I need to defeat the experts on the Xuanxian Continent. Perhaps he can help me."

Suddenly, Li Yi thought of something and secretly asked Xuan Yuezi about it.

Xuan Yuezi was one of the first people to cross over into this field.

“Okay, I understand. I will contact Cang Erzi secretly and ask her to lend a helping hand at a crucial moment.” Xuan Yuezi nodded and immediately understood.

"I also want to ensure everything goes perfectly and I don't want to lose the first battle. Although the people of Xuanxian Continent are afraid of death, they have many underhanded tricks and trump cards. Moreover, only by defeating this force first will it be more advantageous for us later." Li Yi said, "However, I trust Fairy Gu to do things. I'll leave this matter to Fairy Gu."

He then ignored him.

With Xuan Yuezi's abilities, this little matter is no problem.
Xuan Yuezi quickly found an opportunity to break away from the group and prepare to make secret contacts.

Xiang Xiangzi noticed Xuan Yuezi's unusual behavior. She seemed to have guessed what was going on, but just smiled and didn't say anything.

That's how battles should be fought: you need both the determination and courage to fight to the death, and you also need to know how to use some tricks and schemes.
