After the Skyfall

Chapter 830 Entering the Three Flowers
Boom!

Bolts of lightning struck, briefly shattering the tranquility of this strange place.

Su Mu is undergoing tribulation.

However, for evolved beings, such a tribulation is not harmful at all, nor is there any danger of death, because evolved beings are all beings who cultivate multiple methods, have a solid foundation, and have no obvious weaknesses.

Unlike cultivators who fail when undergoing tribulation and have their physical bodies destroyed by lightning, this is different.

However, the thunderous roar and its echoes disturbed some hidden dangers in this strange land, and an unusual aura began to spread from the depths of this strange place.

This aura made the evolved beings feel uneasy, and it did not belong to humans or cultivators, but rather revealed a ferocious nature.

Many people turned to look in the direction from which the aura was coming.

"There's no mistake, that should be a mythical creature dwelling here, but this aura is far too astonishing." One of the evolved beings exclaimed in shock.

“The flow of time in this place is astonishing. If a mythical creature were to wander into this place, as long as it is not killed by the power of time, its strength would be astonishing. It may seem that the creature has only been here for a few months, but it may have been here for hundreds or thousands of years. Under such a time, it would not be surprising to see any kind of monster born.” Zheng Duoduo then leaped out, wearing the crimson gold armor given to her by Li Yi, just in case.

"Then let's join forces to kill this mythical creature. We're short on resources, and if we can hunt it down, it will be enough for us to continue cultivating here for a long time."

A former expert from Earth's defense line rushed out. His name was Long Jie, and he used to be Zheng Duoduo's teammate.

"Okay, count me in." Immediately, other familiar comrades flew out.

In no time, five people were gathered.

After arduous training, their strength has improved significantly. In addition, with the crimson gold artifacts in hand, they dare to fight even immortals when they join forces.

But the next moment.

A roar like that of a dragon suddenly reverberated, carrying boundless power. Wherever it passed, mountains and rivers shattered, and ancient trees were instantly reduced to dust.

If it weren't for the power of time crisscrossing and forming a barrier here, this force would be enough to shock thousands of miles away.

"Something's not right about this force."

Sensing the lingering power of the sound, everyone's expression changed drastically. They were all experienced combatants and could immediately assess the approximate strength of this mythical creature.

It far surpasses even the Great Demons, and may have already reached the level of a Demon King.

The five experts who had planned to join forces to hunt down the mythical creature now had second thoughts. They couldn't help but look at each other, as if asking each other's opinion: should they fight or not?

Although they would undoubtedly lose in a one-on-one match, they might have a chance of winning if they teamed up.

It just depends on whether it's worth the risk.

"Let's take a gamble. If we don't kill this mythical creature, this place will always be in danger. Let's just consider it clearing obstacles for others. Besides, this is Earth. If we let it run rampant, it will cause great harm to the city."

Long Jie took a deep breath and made a decision: "This is not the same as before. We finally won the interdimensional war and drove away several powerful enemies. If we back down in the face of a mythical creature, wouldn't we become a laughing stock?"

"However, even if we fight, if the difference in strength is too great, we should retreat in time and not fight to the death."

"Of course." The others nodded in agreement.

But the next moment.

From the depths of this strange land, roars echoed continuously, mountains crumbled, and the ground cracked open. Then, a scorching energy field rapidly enveloped this area from afar.

Under the influence of this energy field, everything around was emitting thick smoke, as if it were about to be set on fire.

Amidst the thick smoke, a dragon-headed beast, as large as a small mountain and resembling a lion, appeared in everyone's sight, charging wildly.

At a glance, everyone recognized the mythical creature.

This is not a lion, but a Suanni.

The offspring of a legendary dragon.

Its body, as if cast in bronze, was indestructible, and every move it made revealed supreme divine power. Moreover, this Suanni possessed a divine might that made people fearful and dare not be its enemy.

"Good heavens, it's actually a dragon! Although I've hunted mythical creatures before, this is the first time I've encountered one that's grown to this level." Long Jie couldn't help but swallow hard, gripping the crimson-gold divine sword tightly in his hand.

Without the divine weapon that Li Yi had given him, he wouldn't have been confident in joining forces with others to hunt down this mythical creature.

However, when he actually met the enemy, he realized that he had been a bit too arrogant. Even if all five of them had powerful weapons, they might not be a match for him.

"Long Jie, give up the hunt, leave this place, and don't fight this mythical creature." At this moment, Zheng Duoduo immediately changed her mind and called on the others to change their actions.

Only after actually meeting it did she realize how strong the opponent was. A forced fight would inevitably result in casualties, which wouldn't be worthwhile. "Now we can't just leave as we please. This Suanni has its eyes on us. If we split up and try to escape, one of our comrades will surely be targeted and die here. Let's fight together; maybe we can repel it. A mythical creature of this level won't fight to the death unless it gains an advantage."

Long Jie rejected Zheng Duoduo's suggestion and explained his reasons.

This reason was also accepted by others.

If we run now, someone will have to be sacrificed.

They were all comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side on the Earth's defense line. Running away now would be tantamount to betraying their teammates.

Therefore, they decided to agree with Long Jie's approach and join forces to defeat this mythical creature and resolve the crisis.

During this brief exchange...

The Suanni has already charged forward. It is extremely angry and has its eyes on Long Jie. It is flying across the sky at an extremely fast speed, but its body is not in a straight line. Instead, it keeps turning and leaping back and forth in the air, as if it is dodging something.

"No way, is this mythical creature avoiding the area shrouded by the power of time?" One of the evolved beings immediately realized something and exclaimed in surprise.

"Such speed." However, Long Jie was suddenly startled.

Despite the Suanni's constantly shifting forms, it still managed to reach him in an instant.

boom!
Boundless divine power erupted.

Long Jie and his teammates were not to be outdone. They unleashed all their magic power, and the crimson-gold divine swords in their hands burst forth with dazzling light. They did not hold back, but wanted to defeat the enemy with one blow.

This is a habit developed on the battlefield—going all out from the start.

boom.

The two forces collided violently, and the terrifying aftershocks spread out. However, the power of the mythical creature was clearly greater in this aftershock, and with just a ripple, it directly blasted Long Jie, Zheng Duoduo, and the other three evolved beings away.

The immense power caused their crimson-gold armor to creak and groan, as if it were about to give way.

Fortunately, the Crimson Gold Armor did not disappoint them. Even though they were forcibly blasted away, the armor still saved their lives. Otherwise, one blow would have shattered their bodies and killed them on the spot.

However, after the five people fell to the ground, when they got up again, they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and their whole bodies were in excruciating pain.

"This is a soul attack, and this Suanni is also carrying a powerful soul attack." Zheng Duoduo's face turned pale instantly.

She managed to defend against the Suanni's divine power, but she couldn't defend against another hidden force.

However, the method of soul attack is very rare. Even on the battlefield, only a few insidious Mahayana cultivators know how to use it.

“You were right to warn us earlier. This Suanni’s power has indeed exceeded our expectations. In the Demon God Realm, it would definitely be a Demon King. It probably didn’t use its full strength in that attack just now.” Long Jie also spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time realized that something was wrong.

"Everyone, evacuate immediately! Don't hesitate, spread out, and use the power of time as cover to escape when you have a chance."

But he hadn't finished speaking yet.

next moment.

A towering figure suddenly appeared before him. This Suanni breathed out like two volcanoes erupting, billowing thick smoke. Its huge eyes stared at Long Jie, revealing a fierce killing intent.

Long Jie's eyes narrowed suddenly. He disregarded everything else and poured all his magic power into his crimson-gold armor, hoping to withstand the attack of the Suanni and buy time for the others to escape.

However, just when he thought he was going to die here.

Something unexpected happened.

The mythical creature Suanni suddenly became restless, its killing intent receding as it cautiously looked behind it.

Rather than killing its prey, the Suanni sensed a greater danger.

"Why are you all causing such a commotion instead of focusing on your cultivation? I was in seclusion in such a remote place and it disturbed me." A familiar voice rang out, and Li Yi appeared in everyone's sight, looking somewhat disheveled.

He was in seclusion when a roar from a Suanni (a mythical beast) sent him crashing into the mountains, which angered him.

If he hadn't been under the influence of the power of time, which weakened his senses, Li Yi would have been able to dodge and wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

However, despite being covered in dust, a huge, illusory Dao flower had already bloomed above Li Yi's head.

The appearance of this Dao flower signifies that he has successfully entered the Three Flower Realm.
