After the Skyfall

Chapter 888 Traces of the Demon God
Although the Demon King's combat power was considerable, with Li Yi's support, he could hardly cause any trouble. The demons living on this continent also clearly sensed that the situation was hopeless and had to flee whether they wanted to or not.

On their escape, many demon kings spontaneously began to gather together.

Because all the demon kings understood that if they did not join forces at this moment, they would be defeated by the combined forces of the Earth's evolved beings, and then no one would be spared death.

now.

Seven or eight demon kings gathered on a small island overseas. Demon clouds filled the sky nearby, and countless celestial demons and great demons were hidden among them. However, they had lost their former arrogance and instead appeared somewhat disheveled and uneasy.

Moreover, scattered across this vast ocean are many powerful demons, who gaze southwards, wary of the evolved beings from Earth crossing the sea.

"Those evolved beings on Earth have come to settle scores with us. This is no small matter; if things go wrong, the entire Demon God Realm could be destroyed. We Demon Kings must join forces; we absolutely cannot fight separately anymore. When I fled earlier, I sensed the presence of the Mysterious Altar Demon King. The Heavenly Might Demon King has perished. His strength is immense, vastly different from before."

A demon king named Azure Dragon immediately spoke up.

"The combined strength of us demon kings is simply not enough. I was fast enough to escape their encirclement. Do you know how many top experts they deployed to kill just one demon king? Six, a full six. Which of you is confident that you can survive being surrounded by six demon kings of the same realm?"

The Phantom Demon King said angrily, "This is simply shameless! If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight. What kind of skill is it to gang up on someone?"

Although he used to enjoy besieging and killing enemies, he didn't want to be besieged and killed by enemies. That feeling was too unbearable. Several demon kings clearly possessed heaven-shaking and earth-shattering power, yet they were helpless and died with regret.

"We are now like stray dogs. Even if we escape to other continents, we will not be accepted by other demon kings. Instead, we will be ridiculed and it may even cause a civil war among the demon kings. There is only one way to change this situation, and that is to ask the demon god to uphold justice." The speaker was an injured demon king. He lowered his head and looked very disappointed.

"Should we ask the Demon God to intervene?" Upon hearing this, the demon kings fell silent for a moment.

Demon gods do exist in the realm of demon gods, but they are hard to find and mostly remain asleep, detached from worldly affairs.

But after a brief silence, the demon kings realized that the suggestion was absolutely correct.

"As far as I know, the legendary demon gods include the Purple Dragon Demon God, the Golden Crow Demon God, and the Fire Phoenix Demon God. However, it has been a long time since any demon gods have appeared in the demon god realm. Who knows where to look for them?"

The Phantom Demon King shook his head, indicating his helplessness.

However, the Azure Dragon Demon King thought for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, "I know where the Purple Dragon Demon God is. If you gentlemen are willing to accompany me to meet the Demon God and explain the situation, perhaps we can ask the Demon God to come forward."

He didn't want to reveal this secret, but now that things had come to this, he couldn't care less.

"You know the location of the Purple Dragon Demon God?" The other demon kings looked at him in shock.

The Azure Dragon Demon King said, "All the great demons and demon kings in the Demon God Realm who possess the bloodline of the dragon all originate from the Purple Dragon Demon God. It is through bloodline perception and inherited memories that I can roughly determine the place where the Purple Dragon Demon God is sleeping."

"But I've never been there either. Perhaps if the demon god were to get angry, we would all suffer a devastating disaster. So only if we all go together will I be willing to take the lead."

The Azure Dragon Demon King held the ancestor who was the source of his bloodline in the deepest reverence. Moreover, he couldn't fathom the temperament of the Demon God, so he had to make everyone share the risk of awakening the Demon God.

Everyone fell silent again.

But soon, the demon kings made their decision.

“Alright, I’ll go with you to find the Demon God. Dying at the hands of the Demon God is better than being surrounded and killed by the evolved beings of Earth.” The Phantom Demon King gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Then let's try! There are only demon kings who die in battle, not demon kings who flee for their lives." The injured demon king stood up, his anger blazing. He couldn't accept being defeated by a group of lowly Earthlings as a demon king; this grudge had to be avenged.

"The evolved beings on Earth are already showing signs of sweeping across the entire realm. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. Azure Dragon Demon King, I will go with you to invite the Demon God." Another demon king beside him said decisively.

Having reached this level, one naturally gains insight and clearly understands how dire the current situation is. Therefore, the Demon King will not evade the challenge but must proactively confront it.

Soon, most of the demon kings agreed to search for the demon god, and a few demon kings also expressed their intention to go to other continents to spread the news of the Earth's evolved beings' invasion. Only in this way could they alert all the demon kings and prevent them from suffering the same great loss as them.

After a brief discussion, a result was quickly reached.

The demon kings split into two groups and acted swiftly, without daring to delay in the slightest.

now.

Li Yi's immortal warship stopped at the edge of this continent, with an endless sea in the distance, indicating that the first step of their strategy had been achieved and they had successfully captured a battlefield.

After that, it was time to digest the spoils of war and wait for the counterattack from the Demon God Realm.

It's just unknown how many demon kings this operation will alarm. Hopefully, everything is within a manageable range, otherwise it will be another bloody battle.

"Li Yi, the Earth's higher-ups have made a move. They plan to activate the star destroyers to sink the other two continents." Suddenly, at this moment, Vice Dean Sun Boxiu contacted the AI ​​Red Princess and delivered a particularly important message.

"Activate the star destroyers and sink the other two continents?"

Li Yi's expression shifted: "Why did we suddenly come up with such a tactical arrangement? You should know that even if we activate the Star Destroyer, it will be difficult to defeat the Demon King. When they sense an attack, they will immediately dodge and defend themselves, making it almost impossible for the Star Destroyer to kill them."

Although the power of technology is immense, the perception of cultivators is also terrifying. No demon king would dare to withstand the attack of a star destroyer head-on. As long as the main attack is avoided, the residual force is just a tickle to a demon king.

"Right after we invaded the Demon God Realm, the Earth's higher-ups released multiple intelligent satellites and conducted a large-scale scan of the other two continents. The data shows that the Demon Kings, Great Demons, and Earth Demons on the other continent are rapidly gathering in astonishing numbers."

Sun Boxiu paused for a moment and said, "Moreover, the monsters in the sea have also rioted. The Demon God Realm's foundation is stronger than we imagined. That's why the higher-ups decided to activate the Star Destroyer to try to reduce the number of enemy monsters. Otherwise, once the war starts, we will be at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers."

"I agree to this plan. What do you think, Li Yi?"

As the initiator of this cross-border operation, Li Yi's opinion is extremely important. If Li Yi disagrees, the Earth's higher-ups will have no choice but to give up.

"If we sink two continents, the Demon God Realm will probably be almost completely destroyed as well," he thought to himself.

However, compared to destroying a world, winning this battle is far more important.

Moreover, just as Sun Boxiu said, the Demon God Realm has too much foundation. Even if they were caught off guard and drove away the Demon King, the Demon King's overall strength is still there. As long as they are given a few days, the Demon King can quickly adjust. When the Demon King joins forces, it is still unknown who will win or lose.

“If the Earth’s leadership decides to do it, then I have no objection.” Li Yi said calmly, “This is a war of life and death, and we absolutely cannot be too merciful. Last time, the Demon God Realm invaded, and enough people were killed or wounded. Blood debts must be repaid in blood, it is only right and proper.”

"Okay, that's enough." Sun Boxiu nodded slightly, then disconnected the line, relaying Li Yi's message back to the Earth's higher-ups.

Li Yi slowly withdrew his gaze. He no longer looked towards the horizon of the sea, but simply signaled to all the cultivators that after completing their mission, they should stay away from the north, gather at the designated location, and not cross the sea to pursue the enemy.
