After the Skyfall

Chapter 856 The Tribulation of Becoming a God
Three days have passed since the battle between the Divine Tree Lord and the Great Wilderness Lord against the Crimson Gold Mountain Lord, Da Yi. During these three days, Crimson Gold Mountain is still shrouded in thunderclouds, but no new Lord of the Hundred Mountains has come to hinder Li Yi's tribulation and ascension to godhood.

After all, the two powerful figures before them had already proven the strength of the Great Yi with their own lives.

Unless a god intervenes, it is difficult for anyone to hinder his path to godhood. However, there is no god near Crimson Gold Mountain, and the nearest kingdom, Wind Kingdom, is five thousand miles away.

In this ancient land of the Wilderness World, even gods follow ancient rules and will not prevent the Lord of a Hundred Mountains from becoming a god, because every divine bloodline family has its times of decline, and every Lord of a Hundred Mountains wants to restore the glory of their ancestors.

If a god resorts to any means to suppress, disaster will eventually befall every warrior of divine blood, for even kingdoms that worship a particular god can decline and perish.

And within these three days.

Li Yi sat deep within the Crimson Gold Mountains, his body autonomously absorbing spiritual energy from all directions and a vast amount of life essence. By now, his body had grown to a height of a hundred feet, making him a true giant.

But after reaching this height, his body stopped growing, as if he had hit a certain limit.

"A hundred-foot-tall body—this is the symbol of a god. Could it be that our Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain has already become a god before even passing the tribulation of becoming a god?" Inside Crimson Mountain City, a wise man climbed to a high place and looked out. When he saw the giant about to be submerged by the sea of ​​lightning, he was both excited and shocked.

"No, the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain has only grown his body to the level of a god, but his power has not yet reached that level. The divine power residing in heaven and earth is still gathering. Only when he receives the blessing of the divine power of his ancestors will he be considered a true god."

High priests from other tribes observed the city of Chishan for several days and finally came to this conclusion.

But why does this happen?

Some wise people speculate that this is because the divine blood in the body of the Crimson Gold Mountain Master, Da Yi, has reached a level comparable to that of a god, which is why his body has grown ahead of schedule. In the past, the divine blood in the body of the Hundred Mountain Master would slowly grow until it attracted the will of the gods and brought about the tribulation of becoming a god. Only then would it break the restrictions and transform into a hundred-foot giant.

In other words, Chijin Mountain Da Yi overcame that limitation in a very short time and directly reached the level of a god.

The root cause, of course, is that Li Yi ate that silver apple.

The silver apple, having absorbed the residual bloodline power of the divine remains, directly transformed Li Yi's body to the level of a god, which is why it attracted the descent of the divine will and caused this calamity.

"With my current level of cultivation, am I able to absorb the divine power within the sea of ​​lightning?" Li Yi looked up at the sea of ​​lightning that had reached its peak.

Within the sea of ​​lightning, a giant formed from lightning, divine power, and the will of a god has now manifested.

He had a premonition that the so-called tribulation to become a god meant that he had to personally defeat the incarnation of his ancestor and retrieve as much of the power that his ancestor had stored in the world as possible from the incarnation.

As for how much can be retrieved, that depends entirely on one's own abilities.

Of course, it is also possible that due to insufficient strength, they could be directly killed by the incarnation of the ancestral gods.

"At most half a day, the test will begin," Li Yi thought to himself. He was now fully prepared and in peak condition.

The only pity is that he cannot acquire a powerful weapon or armor to increase his strength.

Neither the Demon King's weapon, nor the Crimson Gold Armor, nor the Moon Bow are sufficient to withstand the upcoming battle, because his transformed body is now capable of defeating weapons of that level.

Therefore, in subsequent battles, he can rely on Taoist techniques and fist techniques.

Only by unleashing one's full power can one defeat the incarnation of the ancestral gods and overcome this calamity.

Realizing this, Li Yi's primordial spirit began practicing boxing and Taoist arts, picking up skills he hadn't used in a long time.

With a divine body hundreds of feet tall, wielding fist techniques and unleashing the full power of his body, he could definitely produce unexpected results. Indeed, having an extra skill is always a good thing; you never know when it might come in handy.

As time passes little by little.

When the ninth day arrived.

The sea of ​​lightning above Crimson Gold Mountain stopped absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the divine power that had gathered reached its limit and could no longer increase. At this moment, the divine avatar within the sea of ​​lightning began to revive.

At that moment, Li Yi immediately returned to his original spiritual form, suddenly opened his eyes, and stood up with his body, which was a hundred feet tall.

He sensed a powerful fighting spirit.

They were clearly just gods manifested from the energy of heaven and earth, but after a will descended from the darkness, they were as if they were reborn as gods, possessing intelligence. However, their intelligence was not complete, and it was more inclined to instinctive behavior.

With the resonance of their bloodlines.

The divine incarnation stood amidst the sea of ​​thunder, imbued with boundless power, and then roared, announcing its return to this ancient world.

Li Yi understood that the time had come. Rather than passively waiting for the divine incarnation to come and kill, it was better to take the initiative.

Think of this.

His massive body radiated a silvery glow. He took a step forward, and a huge auspicious cloud appeared, carrying his hundred-foot-tall body as he rushed towards the sea of ​​lightning in the sky.

"Boom!" The sea of ​​thunder roared and surged with divine power. Countless terrifying bolts of lightning intertwined between heaven and earth, instantly blocking everything. Anyone who tried to enter the sky would be mercilessly struck down by these lightning bolts.

Only Li Yi was immune to this kind of lightning, because even if lightning struck him, it would be absorbed by him and become part of his own power.

soon.

Lei Hai was forcibly torn open by Li Yi, who leaped into the sky and appeared before the divine avatar.

As soon as we met.

Without any hesitation or doubt, Li Yi threw a punch in an instant. His fist was condensed with five colors, wrapped with dragons and tigers, and mobilized a sea of ​​lightning. His entire arm was covered with silver light.

The blow slammed heavily onto the divine avatar.

As the sky trembled and the sea of ​​lightning surged, Li Yi's terrifying punch pierced through the body of the god's avatar. However, what spurted out from the wound was not blood, but streams of crystal-clear divine power. This divine power, drawn by the ancient bloodline, flowed into his massive body.

This made Li Yi feel that he had become much stronger in an instant.

"So that's how it is. This is the way the barbaric world passes on its traditions." At this moment, Li Yi understood the significance of this battle.

The divine avatar was injured and enraged. He immediately adopted an ancient posture, unleashing an equally terrifying aura. Then, he swung his fist, causing the sea of ​​lightning to surge back and shatter the void.

The lightning dimmed at that moment.

Clearly, this was the divine technique Li Yi had used earlier, Heaven and Earth Severance.

Upon seeing this, Li Yi's eyes narrowed sharply, but he had no way to avoid it. He could only raise his arm and gather all his strength to try to block the attack.

boom!
The sky shattered, and the sea of ​​lightning was broken apart. Countless bolts of lightning swept in all directions. Fortunately, the battle took place in the sky, so even the residual power did not reach the ground.

It was accompanied by a terrifying outpouring of divine power.

Li Yi's arm was forcibly broken, and silver blood splattered across the sky and earth, then transformed into bolts of lightning that flowed into the sea of ​​thunder. At the same time, a divine power within the divine blood was plundered and returned to the body of the divine avatar.

"This divine avatar is ridiculously powerful." His lips twitched.

He felt that if he were to be hit by divine magic a few more times, he would be killed alive.

No wonder the Divine Tree Lord and the Great Wilderness Lord wanted to interfere with him. If he was not in good condition, he would definitely not be able to survive this calamity once he fought against the incarnation of the gods.

However, these distracting thoughts only flashed through my mind.

Li Yi's gaze quickly hardened again. No matter what realm or strength he possessed now, he had not forgotten that he was a martial artist from all corners of the world.

When a warrior faces an enemy, he uses his power to intimidate them and fights to the death without retreating.

"Come again."

Li Yi shouted, and his body, which had been knocked back, charged forward again. He swung his fist with one arm, and his hundred-foot-tall body twisted into a single force, mobilizing all the power within him. His fist was dazzlingly bright, as if he wanted to pierce through his opponent with one blow.

Although the divine incarnation lacked full intelligence, its fighting instincts were terrifying. As if sensing danger, it immediately dodged to the side.

Even so, the fist still tore a hideous gash in his chest.

The crystal-clear divine power splashed out and then merged into Li Yi's body once again.

But soon, countless silver lightning bolts emerged from this sea of ​​lightning. The lightning struck the wound on the divine avatar, rapidly healing the hideous gash.

The divine avatar, restored to its original state, once again attacked Li Yi.

Li Yi not only did not retreat, but after injuring his opponent with a punch, he raised his leg and swept it horizontally again. With the burst of divine power, the entire sea of ​​lightning was split open by this strike. The power exploded in the heavens and earth, and space itself shattered at this moment.

In his early years, he practiced martial arts all over the world, mastering fists, legs, palms, knives, guns, and so on. It could be said that his whole body was a killing machine. However, as he progressed in his training, it became difficult for him to use his fist and foot skills.

However, the divine incarnation did not dodge, but instead threw a horizontal punch, choosing to exchange injuries with Li Yi.

After exchanging blows, the massive body fell towards the sea of ​​lightning behind it.

However, Li Yi was the first to adapt, and disregarding his injuries, he once again took the initiative to attack.

The two were locked in combat once again, each frantically plundering the other's divine power. This kind of fighting meant you could only fight and couldn't retreat even half a step. Otherwise, once the opponent's divine power was plundered to a critical point, you would never be able to turn the tide.
