After the Skyfall

Chapter 877 The Martial Saint's Challenge

The fact that the old Martial Saint of the Martial Saint Continent wanted to spar with Li Yi was not a big deal, but it attracted a lot of attention. It wasn't just because of Li Yi's reputation, but because many people wanted to know how strong Li Yi really was now.

Especially the higher-ups at Golden Academy, they need to make many decisions based on Li Yi's current strength.

So when Li Yi returned to the Golden Academy to prepare for the challenge from the old Martial Saint, many people rushed to watch.

Sun Boxiu, the vice dean, breathed a slight sigh of relief: "It seems Li Yi is alright and has returned safely. I thought he had encountered danger on the moon and something bad had happened to him. If I had known this, I should have stopped him from going to the moon to investigate. He is not the same as before; he has a very high status and can mobilize dozens or even hundreds of powerful people on his own. If Li Yi is not there, who will manage those cultivators?"

"However, his risk was worthwhile. At least he explored the situation on the far side of the moon and temporarily solved part of the pollution problem. This also proves that there is indeed something on the moon that deliberately set up a large array to try to pollute the earth. Now that the problem has been discovered, it will be solved sooner or later. It's much better than being kept in the dark before."

At this moment, Xiao Jianguo also appeared in the Golden Academy. He and Sun Boxiu were preparing to observe the process of the old Martial Saint from the Martial Saint Continent sparring with Li Yi.

Not only him, but also Zhao Yongshan, Wang Chengjun, Li Weiguo and other experts from the Earth's defense line have come.

If everything goes well.

Next, they will go with the flow and begin their cross-disciplinary combat plan. The Golden Academy is the place with the most experts on Earth, so holding a meeting there to discuss countermeasures will be the most efficient.

Therefore, what was clearly just an ordinary sparring match attracted a large gathering of people from all sides, and even some familiar faces from the Golden Academy reappeared.

For example, Luo Tianyou, Bai Sinan, Wang Hu, Pete, and Wu Zuohua.
While waiting for the old Martial Saint to arrive, Li Yi also sensed many familiar auras. These auras were all ones he had encountered before, people he had met along the way. He never expected that after so many years, everyone could still reunite at the Golden Academy.

"That loser Li Yi, how come he hasn't fallen yet?" Wang Hu frowned as he stared at Li Yi from not far away, seemingly very dissatisfied.

Since he began his cultivation, he considered himself no less capable than others, yet he suffered repeated setbacks when facing Li Yi.

"Li Yi's growth rate is truly astonishing; he has already reached the point where he can stir up a storm." Wu Zuohua sighed at this moment, remembering that Li Yi was still a newcomer when he entered the Golden Academy.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he has become a big shot, and although he is not weak either, he is worlds apart from him.

"Li Yi's cultivation is really fast. Even with the help of the time power of the strange land to accelerate, I still can't catch up with him." Bai Sinan shook his head slightly at this moment, and now he had to admit that the difference between himself and the other party was indeed too great.

"But with so many experts gathered at the Golden Academy, plus the presence of many high-ranking officials, is it really time to start cross-dimensional warfare?"

Then Bai Sinan looked thoughtful.

Unexpectedly, Li Yi only mentioned it once, and everyone followed suit. Such a big matter was decided by his word.

“There are more and more experts.” At this moment, Lin Yue, who was standing next to Li Yi, felt a tremendous pressure. Although she did not suffer any hostility, she found it hard to bear when the gazes of those powerful people swept over her.

"Li Yi, I'm going to watch the fight from the sidelines. Be careful."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, gave Li Yi a long look, and after seeing him nod, she said nothing more and immediately left the place.

I never imagined that with my abilities, I wouldn't even be qualified to stand alongside Li Yi.

Has the gap between them become this large?

Lin Yue felt both proud and bitter for Li Yi, because it meant that the distance between her and Li Yi would only grow further and further, and she didn't even know if they would ever be able to meet again.

As more and more people arrived, it happened very quickly.

Suddenly, a section of the sky was stained crimson by a terrifying surge of blood energy, and a suffocating sense of oppression emanated from it, as if an unparalleled demon king had been resurrected, causing the heavens and earth to tremble slightly.

"Here he comes! The top martial arts expert from the Martial Saint Continent, Martial Saint, Wu Tianji!" someone exclaimed.

At this moment, an old man with a long beard reaching his waist, white hair and a youthful face, stood with his hands behind his back and walked step by step through the void.

Moreover, with each step it took, the heavens and earth trembled slightly, and its aura grew stronger and stronger, forcing people to retreat. Otherwise, if they got too close, they might be killed by the opponent's vital energy.

However, Wu Wuji was not the only Martial Saint present today. Behind him were two other old Martial Saints. One was tall and burly with a wrinkled face and heavy hands. The other was a white-haired woman who, despite her age, could be vaguely seen to have been a peerless figure in her youth.

These two Martial Saints were clearly from the Martial Saint Continent. Their appearance was not only to witness the future of martial arts, but also to support Wu Wuji and prevent the Golden Academy from saying that their Martial Saint Continent had no one.

"Wu Tianji, pay attention! Don't embarrass yourself. You represent the face of our Martial Saint Continent," the burly, wrinkled old man shouted.

“Li Shenquan, shut up. Let Wu Tianji concentrate on the battle. This young man named Li Yi is terrifying. Even from this distance, I can feel the divine power flowing through his body, roaring like thunder. I really doubt if he is still human.” The white-haired middle-aged woman’s expression was solemn, and her voice was cold, yet as melodious as a young girl’s.

"It's good if the opponent is strong enough, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the trip." The old martial saint named Li Shenquan snorted lightly, full of arrogance.

However, as the strongest being in a great realm, he naturally has the right to be proud.

Even though he came from another realm and witnessed all sorts of cultivation methods, he still firmly believed that his divine fist was invincible.

Li Yi stood atop an auspicious cloud, watching his opponent gradually build up his momentum and approach, unmoved. After becoming a god, his body was no longer that of an ordinary person, and he had no rivals within the same realm.

"Young man, aren't you going to make any preparations?" Wu Tianji asked, his eyes narrowed.

“You are the challenger,” Li Yi said calmly.

Wu Tianji was taken aback, then burst into laughter, his hair and beard flying wildly. At the same time, an astonishing martial will surged into the sky. Within this will, everyone felt an aura of suppressing all living beings and being the only one who reigned supreme.

The fusion of aura and martial will is enough to shatter a cultivator's primordial spirit and cause their body to disintegrate.

Even the Heavenly Moon Demon King back then didn't have such spirit.

"Retreat a little further, this old Martial Saint is stronger than we imagined." The cultivators of the Golden Academy retreated again to avoid being impacted by the martial will and thus damaging their souls.

"Make your move." Li Yi didn't say much, but simply assumed a fighting stance, and then his own fist intent was unleashed.

At this moment, lightning crackled between heaven and earth, and gods roared in fury, as if they would destroy all living beings and annihilate the world in an instant. This world was shrouded in apocalypse. Even if one suppressed all living beings and was the only one who was supreme, what did it matter? In the face of the power to destroy heaven and earth, everything seemed so insignificant.

This is the essence of the fist.
The old martial saint's eyes suddenly narrowed, and even he was shaken.

Previously, I thought this young man named Li Yi was just strong enough, but I didn't expect him to have reached such a level in martial arts.
