After the Skyfall

Chapter 878 Above the Martial Saint
The old martial saint, Wu Tianji, was shocked by the astonishing fist intent displayed by Li Yi, but his astonished face was quickly replaced by ecstatic joy, because he saw the future of martial arts in Li Yi.

Martial Saint is not his limit; there may be even higher realms to reach. However, the Martial Saint Continent is too isolated, unable to connect with the outside world. In this closed-door approach, he cannot go any further.

Now, Wu Tianji is about to open up a new realm for countless martial artists on the Martial Saint Continent, and this opportunity lies with the person right in front of him.

"Don't think that I'm bullying the young. A young prodigy like you is a once-in-a-millennium talent even in the Martial Saint Continent, so..." Wu Tianji took a deep breath at this moment.

Just a moment.

The qi and blood permeating the world, as well as the martial will emanating from it, were all drawn back into the body. The sound of a rushing river came from that seemingly old body, and the heart was beating like a huge drum.

“Your physical strength is insufficient. Condensing this level of power together will have serious consequences. You might even explode and die.” Li Yi stared at him, noticing something amiss.

"It doesn't matter. The Golden Academy's technology is very advanced and can reshape my physical body. At worst, I'll lose some cultivation, but it's all worth it." Wu Tianji said, then roared, "Li Yi, make your move and let me see what level your power has reached."

The words fell.

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from Wu Tianji's body. At that moment, he seemed to break free from the constraints of space, and his figure charged out with an extremely condensed power.

This power contains boundless blood and qi, a terrifying martial will, and an awe-inspiring aura.

All these forces converged, and with the surge of spiritual energy filling the sky, a fist appeared between heaven and earth—no, the entire world took on the shape of a fist imprint.

This attack shattered the vacuum of space, and the sky darkened.

"Shatter the void? Are you kidding me? You can actually do that?" Ye Jingtian, who was watching the battle, immediately widened his eyes.

"Is this the terror of an old Martial Saint from the Martial Saint Continent unleashing his full power? Such a strike is enough to kill a Demon King. With the vacuum shattered, no one can escape. Even the teleportation of immortals will be blocked. Retreat! Retreat quickly! Don't get caught in the spatial rift or you'll die!" Wu Zuohua roared at this moment, while simultaneously widening the distance again, not daring to get too close.

"That old man's punches are really powerful!" Wang Hu was also excited and couldn't help but praise him before quickly retreating.

Other experts from the Golden Academy also sensed the danger and quickly retreated.

"Wu Tianji has already reached the peak of Martial Saint and can no longer advance even a little bit. I heard in the early years that he was old and frail, his blood and qi were declining, and his strength was no longer at its peak. I didn't expect that after crossing over to Earth, he got a chance that made him more and more cunning as he got older."

Li Shenquan, who also came from the Martial Saint Continent, was amazed when he felt the power of the attack.

This single punch was enough to make everyone on the Martial Saint Continent unable to lift their heads.

This is the true limit of the fist.

But facing this punch that seemed to overturn the heavens and was powerful enough to shatter the vacuum, Li Yi remained calm and showed no fear. He had faced countless powerful enemies and challenges along the way, and even the most amazing opponents could not shake his heart.

The divine blood within his body was already boiling, and the divine power hidden in his bloodline had now all gathered on his fist.

Thunder dragons roared around him, and endless lightning bolts emerged from countless voids, striking his body. His entire being radiated boundless light.

All power is being mobilized.

At this moment, the god of thunder from the barbaric world awakened, and the magic of "Size and Size at Will" failed. Li Yi revealed his true form amidst the lightning. He stood on auspicious clouds, a hundred feet tall, wielding a thunder dragon, and his desolate and ancient divine aura spread out.

The deity assumed an ancient boxing stance and threw a punch.

This punch caused mountains and rivers to turn upside down, and the sun and moon to lose their brilliance. Its terrifying power also shattered the void, and wherever it passed, space appeared with cracks like a broken mirror.

Countless spatial wormholes were torn apart, and even the gates to interdimensional travel were opened.

In some mortal worlds, they even saw a god hundreds of feet tall bathing in lightning in the sky, roaring and shattering mountains and rivers, unleashing a punch that defied all understanding.

However, these cross-dimensional scenes were fleeting, because the violent power could not maintain the existence of the cross-dimensional gate indefinitely, and if this power were to escape through the cross-dimensional gate, it would undoubtedly be a natural disaster for other worlds.

"Is this the power of Li Yi's punch at his peak?"

Everyone trembled at the force of that punch. This was a power that no human could possibly display; it was enough to destroy the world, a power that only a god could possess.

Moreover, that hundred-foot-tall body did not seem to be made of flesh and blood at all. Under the lightning strikes, they even saw that Li Yi's body was exuding immortal divinity. Even with such terrifying power, it still did not reach the limit of that body.

The Martial Saint clashed with the God, their fists shattering the void collided amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

The martial will and the intent of the fist clashed and fought, and unparalleled power surged in the void. The mere release of power caused the entire continent to tremble, and even the sea thousands of miles away was stirred up with towering waves.

Above the nearby sky, lightning danced, and blood and energy surged like a sea of ​​clouds.

This level of power is so terrifying that it's hard to believe it could exist on Earth.

Do you know how many years it has been since the Earth's spiritual energy revived?
This level of combat power is extremely rare even in any cultivation world.

Inside the Immortal Path Warship at this moment.

The group of Great Perfection cultivators who had just crossed over with Li Yi all widened their eyes, revealing expressions of astonishment. "Is this Taiyi's strength? He has actually cultivated the legendary Golden Skin and Jade Bones, and possesses terrifying combat power capable of destroying a great world." Daoist Yuqing gasped.

“A Great Perfection cultivator would never survive a single move against him.” Xuanzhen Daoist’s hand trembled slightly.

No wonder his master, the Eastern Celestial Venerable, was willing to call the other party the Great Yi Celestial Venerable and was unwilling to fight him. If they were to fight, the Outer Heaven would be destroyed with a single blow, and the cultivation world might be wiped out before a winner was decided.

"The cultivation method of another great realm? The physical body is immortal, just like becoming a god." The Eastern Celestial Venerable squinted as he examined the hundred-zhang-tall divine body.

The strength and potential displayed by that body were enough to move even those who had attained enlightenment.

boom!
The clash of forces continued, and at that moment the sky was torn apart.

Fortunately, the two battles took place in the air, and most of the released power diffused into the spatial rift. Otherwise, if only the residual force had swept through, the Golden Academy would have had to be rebuilt and would not have remained intact.

However, such peak power is like fireworks, brilliant yet fleeting.

soon.

The outcome was decided after the two fists collided.

A figure fell from the vacuum, but the giant, hundreds of feet tall and like a god, still stood between heaven and earth, and did not fall.

The results speak for themselves.

"Wu Tianji!" The martial saint named Li Shenquan roared and rushed out, grabbing Wu Tianji's body.

But soon, his eyes narrowed abruptly.

Wu Tianji's body was covered in cracks, like a fragile piece of porcelain. Moreover, that punch had exhausted all his blood and energy, leaving him as a skeleton with no strength left to be squeezed out.

"This, this..." Li Shenquan's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he stopped himself.

He knew that Wu Tianji had given his all, burning himself out completely.

Moreover, he did not lose the fight; it was just that his mortal body was too fragile and he couldn't withstand the blow, which is why he was knocked down.

“I see the path ahead for the Martial Saint. It’s the acupoints, the acupoints. Open the acupoints and refine the essence and blood.”

Wu Tianji suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had risen from the dead and was regaining his strength. He stretched out his withered hand and tightly grabbed Li Shenquan's arm, then roared in a hoarse voice.

"By opening up the body's acupoints and using them to replace qi and blood, and by setting up a grand formation within the body, one can mobilize the great power of heaven and earth. Those who can reach this level can be called martial gods."

"God of War, God of War, God of War."

He roared three times, both excited and thrilled.

Although he only exchanged a punch with Li Yi, he sensed the most fundamental things from the power of Li Yi's punch.

And this is precisely the foundation of Li Yi's Divine Martial Arts.

It must be said, he truly deserves to be called an old Martial Saint who stands at the pinnacle of a realm. He actually managed to open up a new realm.

"Acupoints. Martial God?" Li Shenquan was also taken aback. He was inspired by these few words. After all, he was also a Martial Saint, and his talent was no less than that of Wu Tianji.

The female martial saint standing to the side looked at this with a complicated expression.

Was it worth it for Wu Tianji to do this?
He had already solved the aging problem by crossing over from another realm, and immortality would not be difficult for him in the future. However, in order to pursue a new realm of martial arts, he was willing to exhaust himself. Moreover, he didn't know if he could be saved in his current state.

"Simply opening up acupoints and refining essence blood is not enough. Even for a Martial Saint, the physical body is still too fragile, and the acupoints that have been refined will soon reach their limit."

At this moment, Li Yi's voice rang out, and his hundred-foot-tall body, crackling with lightning, began to shrink rapidly, while simultaneously offering guidance to the old Martial Saint.

He doesn't mind if the other person goes down the same path as him.

In an Earth where all things coexist, finding your own path is the best approach.

However, seeing the old Martial Saint in such a state, Li Yi still took out a ball of Life Water from the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet and directly injected it into the old Martial Saint's withered body.

This pool of life-giving water contains a vast amount of life essence, enough to heal flesh from bones, bring the dead back to life, and quickly cure those with physical injuries.

After receiving the Life Water, the old Martial Saint's complexion immediately became rosy, and his cracked body began to repair itself at a visible speed. His depleted blood and energy were also replenished. In addition, the abundant life essence continuously helped the old Martial Saint cleanse himself, washing away the hidden injuries and signs of aging within his body.

"What good fortune!" Li Shenquan thought to himself.

Although Wu Tianji was injured and on the verge of death just now, he has been saved and his body has been nourished. Once he recovers, he will be in even better condition than before.
