After the Skyfall

Chapter 886 The Calamity of the Demon King
The territory closest to the Demon God Realm's defense line is that of a Demon King named Xuantan. Although the Demon King Xuantan is very close to Earth, he does not like to blindly expand his territory. As a result, when the three Demon Kings of the Demon God Realm joined forces to invade Earth, he did not participate. He only sent some powerful demons to help, which can be considered as giving face to the other Demon Kings.

As it turned out, the choice of the Xuan Tan Demon King was not wrong. Although the three demon kings had a smooth invasion of Earth in the early stages, and even almost completely destroyed the Earth's evolved beings.

But one day, the Silver Fang Demon King fled back to the Demon God Realm in a panic, and the Heavenly Moon Demon King and the Golden Feather Demon King died one after another. The great demons they brought also suffered heavy losses, which made the Xuan Tan Demon King realize the seriousness of the situation.

To prevent future retaliation from the evolved beings on Earth, the Xuan Tan Demon King spent the entire year recruiting all sorts of celestial demons and great demons, accepting all comers and frantically expanding his power, while also maintaining as much contact as possible with other demon kings.

It was thought that even if the evolved beings on Earth wanted to take revenge on the Demon God Realm in the future, it would be at least a decade or more later, since cultivation takes time and the number of experts could not be increased in a short period of time.

Moreover, if it really came down to a fight, the Demon God Realm, with its resources, could completely crush the evolved beings on Earth.

But today.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted within the territory, a terrifying force tearing the earth apart and severing mountain ranges. The earth demons, sky demons, and great demons under its command were terrified and scattered in all directions. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of figures darted around in the sky, like an impenetrable net, ready to capture all the demons within the territory.

This sudden turn of events shocked and enraged the Demon King of Xuantan. He didn't need his subordinates to report to him; he only needed to sense the auras of the experts in the world to understand that it was clearly the evolved beings from Earth who had attacked.

How could they have invaded the Demon God Realm so quickly? Only a year has passed since the last great war. Don't the Earth's evolved beings need time to recover? And how dare their experts invade the Demon God Realm?

"court death."

Although the Xuan Tan Demon King was confused, he could not suppress his killing intent when his territory was destroyed and his demons were killed. He let out a long roar that shook the sky, and the power of the Demon King turned into Xuan light that spread in all directions like a tide.

They intended to wipe out the invading enemy and quell the unrest with a single strike.

"The Demon King has made his move. Don't get too close, everyone step back."

However, faced with the terrifying power of the Demon King sweeping in, Earth's evolvers, cultivators, martial artists from the Martial God Continent, and divine blood warriors from the Savage World all chose to retreat.

At the same time, several figures emerged together, unleashing boundless power, forcefully severing the demon king's power, causing it to die in its infancy and preventing it from harming others.

"Who dares to invade the territory of the Demon King of the Mystic Altar?"

The Demon King of Xuantan soared into the sky, his aura of a demon king filling the air. His eyes glared angrily, and he held a demon king weapon in his hand, his combat power reaching its peak.

But before he could vent his anger, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Five cultivators at the Great Perfection Realm stood around, each radiating light and displaying their three flowers in full bloom. A chilling killing intent locked onto the demon king from afar. In addition, Li Shenquan, a martial artist from the Martial Saint Continent, stood with his fist clenched, his blood and qi surging like a dragon, his eyes filled with burning fighting spirit.

Being stared at by six top experts like this, even as a demon king, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end and a chill run down his spine.

"This is bad. The other side came prepared and wants to gang up on me and kill me with six people."

Immediately, the idea popped into the mind of the Xuan Tan Demon King, and then he broke out in a cold sweat. The demon king weapon he was about to swing froze in mid-air.

"What a demon king! His arrogance is truly boundless."

Li Shen strode forward, his fists and feet seemingly stepping on the void, as if the heavens and earth were beneath his feet, emanating an invincible martial will that swept across the world.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be itching to fight. The Demon King's combat power is extraordinary." Yuqing Daoist reminded him, "It would be safer to join forces and kill him quickly, lest things get complicated."

“No problem, but I also want to test the power of the Demon King.” Although Li Shenquan verbally agreed, his martial spirit made him unable to restrain himself, and he instantly clenched his fist and charged out.

"kill."

The Xuan Tan Demon King instantly seized this opportunity. Only by killing this human at close range could he find a chance to break through the encirclement. If he tried to escape now, he would only be surrounded and killed by six top experts, and even the body of a demon king could not withstand it.

In a desperate struggle, the Demon King unleashed his power, with countless ancient Dao traces intertwining. This power converged on the Demon King's weapon, unleashing an unprecedentedly terrifying force.

However, Li Shenquan, the Martial Saint from the Martial Saint Continent, was no ordinary person. He threw a punch with power condensed to the extreme, instantly shattering the void. This punch was not only terrifying in power, but also in martial will. This martial will, along with the punch force, could shatter the opponent's primordial spirit and soul.

boom!
The power of the Demon King and the power of the Martial Saint collided, instantly tearing apart the surrounding space. The residual force of the two forces collided and splashed wildly in an instant. Faced with this situation, the five Great Perfection cultivators had no choice but to join forces to quell the residual force and prevent the battle from spreading too far and causing many innocent casualties to their allies.

But soon.

A beam of light burst forth from the aftermath of the battle, and a powerful demon king's force slashed towards a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, attempting to suppress this formidable enemy and secure a way out.

But the next moment, a five-colored divine light shone from the heavens and earth, transforming into a curtain that fell from the end of the sky, blocking the path of this Great Perfection cultivator.

The demon king's attack was instantly neutralized by the five-colored divine light. "What?" The Xuan Tan demon king, who was rushing over, suddenly narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

Yuqing Daoist sneered, "The Five Elements Great Art, performed by five Great Perfection cultivators, is something a mere demon king like you can break? If you, a demon king, manage to escape today, I will write my name Yuqing backwards from now on."

The reason why Taiyi Tianzun arranged for five cultivators at the Great Perfection level to join forces was not arbitrary, but rather in accordance with the way of cultivation, so as to maximize the power and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Cough cough."

However, at the same time, Li Shenquan, who was the first to charge forward, coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and a hideous gash was torn open on his arm, clearly revealing the bone inside.

In their exchange of blows just now, he was ultimately at a disadvantage.

“Li Yi is right. Even with the body of a Martial Saint, the physique is still too weak. The fist is no match for the Demon King’s weapon. If this Demon King hadn’t been in such a hurry to escape and didn’t want to trade his life with me, his second strike would have been enough to cleave my body in two.”

Li Shenquan paused for a moment. He was indeed somewhat inferior to Wu Tianji. Wu Tianji could suppress the Demon King by a degree, while he was inferior to the Demon King by a degree.

In that situation just now, both sides were giving it their all, holding nothing back, which best demonstrated the difference in their abilities.

But right now they are not fighting alone, but joining forces to besiege the demon king.

Even though Li Shenquan was injured, the Xuan Tan Demon King still withstood the attacks of five cultivators at the Great Perfection Realm. At this moment, the Demon King's power was shattered by the five-colored divine light. No matter how fierce the Demon King was, he could not break through the Five Elements Great Law and escape from this place.

"Fellow Daoists, why don't we join forces to obliterate the Demon King's soul, leaving his body so we can refine Dao weapons later?" Yuqing Daoist suggested.

"Okay, let's do it."

The other four cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection of their cultivation immediately agreed.

Their mission was to kill the Demon King in the shortest time possible, but they were not instructed on how to kill him. If they could keep the Demon King's body and use it for their own purposes in the future, it would be a worthwhile trip. Moreover, the enemy also had a Demon King weapon, which was also a remarkable trophy.

These people, who come from the world of cultivation in the Dharma-ending Age, are terrified of poverty. Now that they have finally seized an opportunity, they naturally want to find ways to make some money.

For the first time, the Xuan Tan Demon King felt a sense of frustration. Despite his boundless power, he was no match for the overwhelming force of the Five Elements Great Law and was ultimately defeated, becoming the first demon king in the Demon God Realm to be captured.

Even he ended up like this, and the other demons in his territory were wiped out by the others, leaving only some insignificant little demons to escape.

In this battle, Li Yi didn't even stop. His immortal warship continued to rush to the next demon king's location at top speed.

soon.

The second demon king faced the same predicament as the Xuan Tan demon king: five cultivators at the Great Perfection stage joined forces with a Martial Saint, along with hundreds of experts, and attacked without warning.

Even if a demon king is incredibly powerful, facing six experts in a pincer attack, his inevitable defeat is certain.

The warships swept across the land, aiming to conquer the first continent of the Demon God Realm in the shortest possible time.

Everything is progressing very smoothly.

However, Li Yi, inside the warship, remained solemn and did not feel any joy. This was because the attack had caught everyone off guard, and some results were inevitable.

Such a commotion could not possibly go unnoticed by the other demon kings. Once these demon kings learned that the Earth's evolved beings were attacking, they had only two choices: either flee to other continents or join forces to fight the enemy.

However, given the speed at which Li Yi and his group attacked, these demon kings could only flee and could not join forces in a short time. After all, the demon kings fought independently and did not submit to each other. For them to join forces, a demon god would have to step in, or the demon god realm would be in a critical situation.

According to the strategy formulated by the Earth's higher levels.

After conquering this continent without bloodshed, the battlefield can be easily pushed to the Demon God Realm, where the crucial battle that will determine the survival of both realms will take place.

Of course, some people suggested splitting up the forces to defeat more demon kings in the first wave of battle and achieve more results.

However, this proposal was rejected.

Since the final outcome will no longer be decided by the Demon King, but by the possible appearance of the Demon God, its strategic significance far outweighs its tactical value.
