After the Skyfall

Chapter 811 The war is over
With the deaths of several True Immortals, the Xuanxian Continent fell into complete silence, utterly terrified. In the following days, no enemies from other worlds appeared.

The victory in this battle is practically secured, as everyone is rapidly recovering after a few days of rest.

On the Earth's defense line, everyone's mood relaxed a little more with each passing day.

Five days passed.

Most people were back to their peak condition, and a sense of victory began to fill their hearts.

"There's been no movement from the Demon God Realm, and no energy fluctuations from the Great Demon or Demon King have been detected. It seems they really intend to retreat and have no intention of invading anytime soon." Zhao Yongshan was in the command room at the moment, monitoring the activity at each cross-realm point through the AI.

These past few days, Li Yi and the others have been resting, but he hasn't dared to close his eyes even for a moment.

Although the enemy was repelled, they still had a chance to make a comeback. After all, the foundation of a great realm was still very deep, and the death of one or two demon kings was nothing.

"There's been no movement from the Xuanxian Continent either. This time, the Xuanxian Continent suffered the most crushing defeat, with four True Immortals perishing. They're probably terrified now."

Although Xiao Jianguo looked exhausted, he couldn't hide the excitement and joy in his eyes.

Zhao Yongshan said, "The situation is indeed improving. Sure enough, once Earth has True Immortal-level combat power, these enemies who want to invade will have to think twice. Just like when countries had nuclear weapons, it could create a deterrent. The reason why that group of True Immortals decided to launch a counterattack was because they felt threatened and wanted to kill Li Yi and the other top experts. They didn't want to see the emergence of True Immortal-level combat power on Earth."

“That’s right. Winning this battle has bought Earth a lot of valuable time for development. I believe there’s more than one strong person like Li Yi. There must be a second and a third.” Xiao Jianguo said, “But Li Yi has been so helpful this time, almost single-handedly turning the tide of the collapse. How can we thank him enough?”

"I'll find an opportunity to ask him what he needs, and give him whatever I can currently offer, though I doubt he'll be interested in anything," Zhao Yongshan said, shaking his head slightly.

And just as the two were talking.

suddenly.

Suddenly, streaks of intense firelight lit up the night sky, attracting the attention of many people.

"What's going on? Is there another problem within Earth's defenses?" Zhao Yongshan instinctively became alert and hurriedly instructed the AI ​​to investigate.

Xiao Jianguo stood at the window gazing into the distance: "Don't be nervous, they've lit a bonfire, it seems they're celebrating their victory. Wait, Li Yi has taken out the flesh and blood of the Golden Feather Demon King, he's roasting it."

"Such a thing is true." Zhao Yongshan came over to take a look.

Sure enough, he saw a mountain of flesh appear in the distance, where a master gathered energy, cast spells, ignited a great fire, and roasted the flesh of the demon king.

"They really should relax and celebrate. They've all recovered and aren't afraid of any strong enemies. After a series of battles, everyone's nerves are on edge and they need a good rest."

At this point, Zhao Yongshan whispered, "What do you think? Should we invite Li Yi and the others to visit World 30? That world has never been explored, and it might be an opportunity for them."

"Let's forget about it now. World 30 is still very dangerous. The situation has just stabilized, so let's not do anything reckless," Xiao Jianguo said, shaking his head.

As the earliest official entity to establish cross-dimensional bases, it possesses a considerable number of cross-dimensional coordinates, some of which are still unexplored but possess extremely high value.

now.

Inside the Earth's defense line.

The campfire lit up the night, and at the same time, huge pieces of demon king meat emitted an enticing aroma as they roasted in the firelight.

"It's too extravagant to roast the Demon King's flesh. It's such a waste. It would be so much better to use it for alchemy. Roasting it will destroy much of the essence in the Demon King's flesh."

A powerful cultivator from Danhuazi felt a pang of heartache upon witnessing this scene.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be so heartbroken. Just look forward to the taste of the Demon King's flesh. Besides, with so many people gathered here, there's no reason for anyone to take pills," someone nearby advised with a smile.

"This battle was a resounding victory; it feels like all the pent-up frustration from the past few years has been released," Old Wu said with a hearty laugh.

He crossed over to Earth relatively early, but he was often bullied by powerful demons and cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent. Today, he has avenged his great grudge, his mind is clear, and he feels that his cultivation is showing signs of breaking through.

"I never imagined that we, a few dozen people, could actually wipe out so many powerful enemies." Ye Jingtian couldn't help but sigh as he saw everyone's joyful and harmonious appearance.

Jiang Yue, standing to the side, said, "It is indeed an unbelievable victory. With all eighty of our experts present, to put it bluntly, we couldn't even defeat a base of the Xuanxian Continent. The other side has more than three hundred Mahayana cultivators, as well as more than a dozen Human Immortals, plus various trump cards. On the surface, they could wipe us out twice."

"In the end, we caught them completely off guard. They never dreamed that we would have two True Immortal-level warriors who could destroy their base in one strike." Liu Yunbai, standing to the side, produced a jar of fine wine from somewhere and began to drink it heartily.

"The True Immortals of the Xuanxian Continent are too afraid of death. They didn't intervene immediately and wanted to use the Demon King to defeat us. However, I was truly desperate when the Golden Feather Demon King appeared. If it weren't for Li Yi and Wang Chengjun joining forces to resist when the Demon King attacked, everything would have been over."

Looking back on the previous battle, many people still feel lingering fear.

Their victory stemmed from their surprise attack and their unity.

Although the opponents were powerful, they each had their own schemes, which allowed them to be picked off one by one when the opportunity arose. However, the price paid was also considerable: Miao Huizi was severely injured, Wang Chengjun and Li Weiguo exhausted their luck and suffered a sharp drop in cultivation, and Li Yi's primordial spirit power was severely depleted, also affecting his cultivation.

On the contrary, ordinary cultivators, experts, and evolved beings suffered no losses.

"Come on, today I'll treat everyone to the Demon King's meat to celebrate our victory in this great battle." Li Yi's voice echoed around the campfire. He stretched out his sword finger, cut off a piece of freshly roasted Demon King's meat, and distributed it to everyone.

Without any hesitation, he took a large piece of meat and ate it heartily.

With just one bite, a surge of energy swept through his body, sweeping away all his fatigue. Even his primordial spirit was nourished and showed signs of growing stronger.

The flesh of the Demon King is indeed extraordinary, comparable to rare and precious treasures.

Everyone took a bite and immediately showed amazement, then began to devour the food with great relish.

"After everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, remember to clean up the battlefield tomorrow morning. You might be able to find a lot of treasures," Li Yi then reminded everyone.

In this great battle, many cultivators, great demons, and even immortals died. There must have been many treasures left on the battlefield. Even Li Yi only hurriedly took a demon king weapon and a true immortal's storage treasure. He did not explore the others carefully.

This reminder prompted many people to immediately realize what was happening and they began to look forward to it.

Putting aside everything else, those cultivators are all incredibly wealthy. Finding even a single Mahayana cultivator would be extremely valuable, not to mention the relics of immortals.

"Li Yi, what are your plans next?" Suddenly, Ye Jingtian walked over and asked.

Li Yi, who was eating the demon king's flesh, paused for a moment and said, "What plans can we have? Naturally, we should take advantage of this time to cultivate and improve our strength. Although we won this battle, the crisis is not over. The real interdimensional war will break out sooner or later, and we must be prepared."

"Don't think that just because two demon kings have died in the Demon God Realm and four true immortals have died in the Xuanxian Continent, you can rest easy. For a great world, losing a few people is nothing."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky.

Amidst the starlight, a massive gap remains clearly visible, through which a corner of the Xuanxian Continent can be clearly seen.

“Cultivating and improving one’s strength is naturally the top priority, but what comes after that?” Ye Jingtian said.

Li Yi paused for a moment and then said, "Afterwards, I plan to visit their world. This time, when they invaded, my relatives and friends were almost killed. I have to settle this score."

"Remember to count me in then," Ye Jingtian said immediately.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay, of course, no problem. But it's not realistic in the short term. Earth still needs to restore order and rebuild cities. I just hope that with such great efforts this time, we can have peace for more than ten years."

"I hope so," Ye Jingtian said with a sigh.

However, at this time...

A charming voice suddenly rang out: "Oh dear, I can't hold my liquor, I'm drunk now."

Then, Xiang Xiangzi fell from mid-air and landed squarely on Li Yi.

Li Yi reacted instinctively and caught it, feeling a soft fragrance in his arms. He was stunned for a moment, and then a strange thought popped into his mind: Xiang Xiangzi's body was clearly made of seven-colored stone, so why did it feel like this?
"Fairy, stop fooling around, everyone's watching," he said helplessly.

"Taiyi, what did you say? I'm drunk, I can't hear you." Xiang Xiangzi's face was slightly flushed, and she looked drunk. She squinted and scanned her surroundings, drawing away the gazes of many women.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtian and the other men took the opportunity to leave, giving the two space. They dared not interfere in matters of the heart.

Li Yi put Xiang Xiangzi down and then said, "This time, we are very grateful for the help of the fairy. I will ask the Heavenly Craftsman to find an opportunity to refine a few Dao-attaining artifacts for you."

"Hey, there's no rush about getting a Dao artifact. Let's discuss the matter of dual cultivation," Xiang Xiangzi said with a smile.

"puff!"

Several cultivators who were drinking nearby burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Even Xuan Yuezi, who was leisurely eating her grilled meat, almost choked and coughed.

What kind of outrageous words are these? Don't you feel ashamed to say such things in front of so many people?
She herself felt extremely embarrassed.

However, Xuan Yuezi understood Xiang Xiangzi's thoughts. It was nothing more than an act for others to see, to let others know about the relationship between the two, and to prevent the appearance of a third party.

This perfectly matches Xiang Xiangzi's domineering personality.

The evolved beings on Earth, however, remained silent. Li Yi and Xiang Xiangzi were both powerful and beautiful, so it was perfectly normal for them to be dating; there was nothing to be surprised about.
