After the Skyfall

Chapter 843 Burning Divine Blood
Looking at the old warrior with white hair and beard, Li Yi couldn't help but put aside his contempt. Although the other party looked very old and his vitality was no longer at its peak, as the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, his strength was beyond doubt.

"This Lord of the Northern Wilderness, Jinghe, is even more powerful than the former Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain." With just one glance, Li Yi made a rough assessment of this person's strength.

In this wild and untamed world.

The strength of a city lord is definitely greater than that of a mountain lord, because a city can gather resources from all over the world, continuously extracting red gold, and is also very safe, without having to worry about being attacked by alien beasts outside. Most importantly, a blood warrior who owns a city can establish a blood clan.

"It seems that the Divine Blood Warriors of the Northern Wilderness lineage have truly declined. The most powerful Divine Blood Warrior is already so old. Is there no young powerhouse in the clan?" Li Yi said calmly.

“Even if the Northern Wilderness lineage declines, it is not something a young mountain lord like you can defeat. Moreover, the Northern Wilderness lineage has guarded Northern Wilderness City for generations, and it will remain so in the future.” Jinghe’s voice was deep, but his expression was extremely solemn.

Because the blood warrior named Da Yi in front of them is too young. He has become the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain at such a young age, and he will surely become a god in the future.

If we cannot defeat him today, or even kill him, the Northern Wilderness lineage will have no future.

Therefore, this was a cruel challenge for him, the lord of the Northern Wilderness, concerning the rise and fall of his family; he could only win, not lose.

“Da Yi, if you challenge me, the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, as the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain, according to ancient tradition, if I defeat you, then your Crimson Gold Mountain will belong to me,” Jinghe added, hoping that Li Yi would understand the cost of defeat and thus put pressure on him.

Li Yi laughed and said, "If you lose, then this Northern Wilderness City will belong to my Great Yi. Your Northern Wilderness lineage will have to move out of here immediately and will never be allowed to return. I don't think you will break your promise, will you?"

In this world, warriors value promises above all else, and they are even willing to give their lives to fulfill them.

Jinghe, the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, frowned. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only agree: "If I, as the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, am defeated, you will become the new Lord of the Northern Wilderness. I promise you this."

"In that case, let's fight outside the city to avoid harming innocent people." After saying that, Li Yi immediately stepped on auspicious clouds and flew towards the outside of Northern Wilderness City.

The Lord of the Northern Wilderness knew that he was likely to die in today's battle. He immediately summoned the Divine Blood Warrior Daze and whispered, "This Crimson Gold Mountain Lord named Da Yi is very powerful. I probably won't be able to come back. Daze, you must go back immediately, gather the Northern Wilderness lineage, pack your things and leave Northern Wilderness City as soon as possible. Only in this way can we ensure the continuation of the family."

"Master." Upon hearing this, Oze's eyes widened, and he appeared very shocked.

He never expected that the invincible Lord of the Northern Wilderness, whom he remembered, would say such a thing.

“I am old, and all I can do is pave a way for my descendants to survive. Daze, do not grieve, do not suffer. The rise and fall of the Divine Blood Clan has been playing out on this ancient land. I just never thought that this day would come so soon for our Northern Wilderness lineage. I thought I could live to be a hundred years old.” Jinghe, the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, said with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Go quickly. Remember to pack your things, gather the important clansmen and leave immediately. Take the direct descendants of the divine bloodline with you. You can abandon the rest. As long as our Northern Wilderness bloodline continues, there is still a possibility of rise and fall in the future."

After he finished speaking, he pushed Daze away.

Daze's robust body flew backward and crashed heavily into the city lord's mansion.

The Northern Wilderness Lord Jinghe took a deep look at the great city where he had lived for countless years, then turned around and resolutely rushed out of the city, even though he was not confident of defeating the powerful enemy named Da Yi.

However, even if it costs me my life, I should still be able to severely damage it and slow down its growth.

The time gained is enough to nourish the Northern Wilderness lineage so that it can take root and grow again in other places. After all, Daze is a divine blood warrior of the Ten Mountain Lord level, and he can always lead his people to live no matter where they are.

Take a deep breath.

The Northern Wilderness Lord Jinghe's blood and qi seemed to be burning. On his robust body, blue water ripple-like divine patterns began to shine. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his youth, full of vigor and unruly.

Li Yi appeared on an open space outside the Northern Wilderness City. His primordial spirit and Dharma body sensed the world and naturally heard the last words of the Northern Wilderness Lord Jinghe, but he did not stop him.

For a cultivator of his level, these are all trivial matters.

Moreover, it is extremely dangerous for a fallen divine bloodline family to wander in the wild world. Merchants, city lords, and mountain lords who pass by will watch them like vultures, plundering their wealth and people until they are eaten up without leaving a trace.

There are no laws in this wild world; it follows the most primitive and ancient rules.

boom!
A sound like a cannonball hitting the ground rang out, and the Lord of the Northern Wilderness quickly appeared opposite Li Yi. The divine bloodline within his body seemed to be burning, and his whole body was radiating a blue aura, as if he had transformed.

"Burning divine blood to regain the power of his peak?" Li Yi's expression shifted slightly: "I didn't expect the Lord of the Northern Wilderness to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve."

This approach is somewhat like drawing upon the blood and sweat of people from all corners of the world, unleashing their potential, and making a desperate gamble.

"Very good, Lord of the Northern Wilderness, you have not disappointed me. You have made arrangements for your affairs, sent away your people, and burned your divine blood, all so that you can fight me without any worries. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, you will die."

Li Yi gave a shout, praising his spirit.

"Young Divine Blood Warrior, you are too arrogant. Perhaps you would be the one dying here today. You shouldn't have challenged me. Otherwise, you would still be the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain, and might even become a god in the future." The Lord of the Northern Wilderness stared at Li Yi, like an old lion scrutinizing its prey. Moreover, knowing that his time at his peak was limited, he didn't waste any more words.

"So, Great Yi, today you shall be defeated by the Lord of the Northern Wilderness."

The sound fell.

A violent storm swept across the heavens and earth. The Lord of the Northern Wilderness roared, and his burning divine blood unleashed unparalleled divine power like a vast ocean. Then, the phantom of a god appeared in this world.

This is divine magic.

The elderly Lord of the Northern Wilderness went all out from the start, unleashing divine magic in an attempt to catch Li Yi off guard. If this attack could severely injure Li Yi, then it would be worth it.

The phantom of a god roared, and the ancient power between heaven and earth was revived. At this moment, it was as if the will of a god resided in the body of the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, elevating his power to a level that did not belong to him.

This is the terrifying power of divine magic: awakening the divine power within an ancient bloodline. It can dramatically increase your strength at a certain moment, but the price is that it consumes a great deal of physical strength. A normal direct descendant of divine blood can use divine magic a maximum of two times in a battle.

The phantom of the god waved its arm and crashed down from the sky, like a vast expanse of blue sky pouring down. Without the power to create the world, anyone would be reduced to ashes by this blow.

This scene was witnessed by many warriors and sages of the Northern Wilderness City, who were utterly shocked.

"This is a divine technique of the Northern Wilderness lineage. It seems our Northern Wilderness Lord is going to fight to the death," a wise man remarked.

Divine magic is only unleashed when there is a significant disparity in strength. This is because only by being in the best possible condition and delivering the most powerful blow can victory be achieved. If even this fails, then there is nothing more to say.

"You're indeed shrewd, going all out right from the start. But do you think I'm afraid of you?" Li Yi's eyes flashed, silver lightning crackled all over his body, and all 105 acupoints in his body resonated, unleashing the power of the dragon and tiger.

Without any unnecessary frills, he simply combined his physical body with magical power to form a very basic fist stance, and then unleashed a punch.

The moment this strike appeared, space was distorted and torn apart. The sound of dragons and tigers shattered the heavens, and the terrifying fist light seemed to devour everything. Nothing could stop it wherever it passed.

The two powerful Divine Blood Warriors clashed at this moment.

The terrifying aftershocks ripped through the azure sky, tearing it apart with the force of the fist's light. The phantom of the god seemed to wail at that moment, as if it had been crushed by another incomparably powerful will.

"How could this be?" The elderly Lord of the Northern Wilderness opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he was seeing.

His own divine technique, which was at its peak, was actually defeated by this Great Yi.

how is this possible.

Is this young blood warrior really that strong?

The lingering light of the fist swept over.

The Lord of the Northern Wilderness was immediately blasted away. He flew into the distance like a meteorite and crashed heavily to the ground, shattering a patch of earth.

However, his physique, honed through countless trials, allowed this Lord of the Northern Wilderness to once again emerge from the ruins, his heavy armor preventing him from suffering a severe injury.

"Not bad, you were able to withstand one of my punches, but that's all." Li Yi's expression was calm; he already knew the difference in their abilities.

This Lord of the Northern Wilderness is not weak. At his peak, when he unleashes divine arts, he should have the combat power of a demon king. But unfortunately, he encountered Li Yi today. If he had truly encountered a demon king, the other party would have had a chance of winning.

"Lord of the Northern Wilderness, let me personally send you on your way."

He took a step forward, his figure seemingly ignoring space, instantly closing the distance.

"Young man, don't talk big."

The Northern Wilderness God's blood was burning, and he was still at his peak. The divine phantom behind him, which was about to dissipate, re-condensed. The price for doing so was that his robust and muscular body was now somewhat withered.

The divine blood in my body is being consumed much faster than I expected.

Delaying is no longer an option; we must find a way to severely damage this person.

Thinking of this, the Lord of the Northern Wilderness did not back down, but went straight to meet him. The divine phantom behind him swung his arm, smashing the sky and unleashing terrifying power once again.
