After the Skyfall

Chapter 897 Both sides suffer losses
After Li Yi struck down the Purple Dragon Demon God's head with his third blow, his body had reached its limit. The cost of unleashing such power was too great. He felt that the power within his body had been exhausted. Fortunately, his cultivation level had not dropped. His Flower of Magic and Flower of Life were only blooming briefly, so their withering now had little impact.

However, the divine blood within his body has been severely depleted, and it is unknown whether he will still be able to manifest the true form of a god.

"Cough cough."

Li Yi coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his blood containing little divine power and life essence. He immediately stopped burning, channeling the remaining divine blood back into his acupoints, and dissipating the excess power.

Suddenly, a feeling of weakness washed over me.

"Too easy."

At that moment, Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi rushed over and stood guard on either side to prevent the Demon King from taking this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Don't be nervous, I'm fine." Li Yi waved his hand: "My power has been completely burned out, and I'm just a little weak now. It's just a pity that in the end I only managed to sever the physical body of this demon god, and I didn't completely destroy it."

"But that's enough. At least this demon god won't appear again for a while."

He felt no joy in defeating the enemy.

Because this battle was at best a lose-lose situation, with the opponent's dragon soul surviving while their own power was damaged, and both sides would need some time to recover.

"It's good that Taiyi is alright. That was too dangerous. That demon god's strength was indeed terrifying. It's a pity that our combat power was insufficient to provide support." Xiang Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little regretful.

Li Yi said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The battle is not over yet. We need to return to the battlefield immediately. I need to go back to the Immortal Dao Warship to recuperate. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to participate in the next major battle."

"Don't worry, we can handle what happens next. Now that the Purple Dragon Demon God is gone, winning this battle is inevitable," Xuan Yuezi said, feeling that Li Yi was pushing himself too hard.

There is absolutely no need for them to burn themselves.

It is no easy feat to cultivate to this level. Once one's strength declines, it is extremely difficult to regain it, especially for a cultivator with such great potential as Li Yi. If his cultivation goes smoothly, he will reach the realm of a demon god in no time.

Li Yi then glanced at the enormous dragon body of the Purple Dragon Demon God and immediately put it into the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet. Such a remains was a true treasure, and perhaps he could use this demon god's body to recover some of his depleted strength.

soon.

When Li Yi returned to the battlefield, everyone felt his presence and was immediately excited. Although Li Yi's presence was much weaker than before, his safe return was enough to prove everything.

However, the moment he appeared, several demon kings immediately joined forces to attack him.

"He has been severely injured by the Demon God, and his strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. We must intercept and kill him to avenge the Demon God!" a Demon King roared.

Li Yi's weak aura caught the attention of these demon kings, who saw it as an excellent opportunity to kill him. If they could cause Earth to lose such a top expert, the great battle might not be a complete disaster.

However, Li Yi's return also attracted the attention of experts on Earth.

In the blink of an eye, five military experts charged towards them, displaying terrifying power and instantly repelling the five demon kings, preventing them from attacking Li Yi again.

However, the demon kings who came to attack were not only these five. Other demon kings arrived one after another. In their view, it was worth it as long as they could save Li Yi's life, no matter how great the price.

After all, the opponent was a powerful being at the level of a demon god. As long as he lived, he would be a huge blow to the demon god realm.

"Your defeat is inevitable. Instead of trying to escape, you want to fight back? You're just courting death." At this moment, Li Jiye attacked from the side, using the power of incense to forcefully repel a demon king.

The demon king, severely injured and enraged, disregarded everything else and made a desperate attempt to kill Li Jiye. Since he had already lost the initiative, he might as well create opportunities for the other demon kings.

In an instant, a fierce battle erupted around Li Yi.

A demon king attacked Li Yi, but was blasted away by Xiang Xiangzi's magic and failed to succeed.

However, more and more demon kings rushed to gather, trying to use their numerical advantage to fight their way out and take Li Yi's life.

"I never expected to be so popular." Li Yi remained calm and unmoved in the face of the encirclement, but he was somewhat surprised to see Li Jiye fighting with the Demon King.

Unexpectedly, after opening the door to cross-industry collaboration, my father also came to help.

“Taiyi, to be on the safe side, you should still enter the Immortal Dao Warship. The newly built Immortal Dao Warship is made of divine wood, making it indestructible. Even the Demon King cannot destroy it,” Xuan Yuezi said immediately.

At the same time, a golden light came from afar.

The AI ​​Red Princess piloted the Immortal Path Warship across the battlefield and arrived beside Li Yi.

Although the original plan stipulated that the three immortal warships were to remain on the battlefield as a backup, the situation had improved now that the Demon God had been defeated, so even if a warship were brought in, it wouldn't have any impact. Li Yi glanced at the horrific battlefield, and without hesitation, immediately flew into the immortal warship.

He knew that these demon kings were all after him. As long as he was safe, their plans would fail and they would soon fall apart. If he stayed here, he would only provoke their fighting spirit.

"Don't try to escape."

When the Demon King saw Li Yi fly into the warship, he was furious and roared repeatedly, trying to call Li Yi back, not wanting to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But Li Yi disappeared from the sight of all the demon kings without looking back.

As the hatches of the immortal warship closed, the demon kings were filled with despair. They knew they had missed their last chance to kill Li Yi, and this great battle was destined to end with the destruction of the demon god realm.

I cannot accept this result.

Some demon kings went mad and rampaged, recklessly unleashing their demon king power in an attempt to take away more enemies.

Some demon kings realized that the situation was hopeless and stopped trying to fight their way out of the battlefield. They wanted to escape, whether by crossing realms or hiding, as long as they could survive.

However, many more demon kings were unwilling to accept this and cried out to the heavens, hoping that a second demon god would appear in the demon god realm to turn the tide.

However, all of these things are no longer relevant to Li Yi now.

He completed his combat mission.

Upon returning to the Immortal Dao Warship, Li Yi immediately collapsed to the ground, his wounds reopening. The lingering demonic power, like a leech, clung to his body, preventing the wounds from healing.

Furthermore, with his primordial spirit power weakened and his divine power depleted, the situation can be described as extremely dire.

Li Yi, barely managing to stay upright, immediately took out a large amount of life water from the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet and then immersed himself in it.

As a large amount of life force surged into his body, his weakened body regained some strength, and the ruptured wounds healed at a visible speed.

Although the wound had healed, the residual power of the demon god remained. With just the slightest movement, the power of the demon god would be activated, tearing the wound open again, causing Li Yi so much pain that he almost lost his soul.

Li Yi had no choice but to let his body heal first, without rushing to expel the remaining power of the demon god.

He then formed hand seals and used the Great Art of Gathering Qi from Heaven and Earth to gather all the spiritual energy within the immortal warship into himself.

As time passed, his strength gradually returned to him.

However, the burning of divine blood makes it difficult to make up for the deficit, as the damage is almost irreversible. Li Yi can only return to the desolate world and see if a second silver apple has grown in the valley where the gods are buried.

Only by eating the second silver apple can this deficit be made up.

"Hong Ji, control the immortal warship to retreat to the rear of the battlefield. There's nothing more for us to do now. Eastern Celestial Venerable will handle the rest," Li Yi said.

Upon receiving the order, the AI ​​inside the warship, Hong Ji, immediately led Li Yi away from the center of the battlefield.

Speeding all the way.

The immortal warship even withstood numerous attacks from demon kings.

However, this brand-new warship possessed even more formidable defensive capabilities than the previous one. The warship radiated dazzling golden light, and countless powerful arrays were activated. Even the Demon King could only watch helplessly as Li Yi departed aboard the warship.

The situation here was also discovered by the Earth's high command on the command ship.

"Very good, Li Yi has returned safely. Have someone meet him. We absolutely cannot allow any further accidents to happen to Li Yi."

"The battle has gone very smoothly so far, even better than expected. Although our Demon King level combat power is inferior to theirs, with that Eastern Celestial Venerable here, the numerical gap will soon be made up."

"Now that Li Yi is safe, let's go all out and crush the Demon God Realm, take over this great realm completely, and then we won't have to worry about interdimensional migration anymore. As long as we organize this world a little, it will become a second Earth."

The higher-ups started discussing it and decided to press their advantage, not wanting to miss such an opportunity.

At the same time, their desire to expand their territory reached its peak.

Compared to other worlds, the Demon God Realm is definitely a very perfect world, provided that these demons can be eliminated.
