After the Skyfall

Chapter 899 A Temporary Truce

Although the Golden Crow Demon Goddess did not intend to wage war, she wanted to quell the war single-handedly, causing the Earth's evolved beings to return empty-handed, a situation that was hard to accept.

You have to understand how much effort and sacrifice Earth made to take revenge and conquer the Demon God Realm. To back down just because of a single word from the enemy is unacceptable. If the higher-ups agree to this, Earth will be punched in the head by a top expert when it returns.

However, the threat posed by the Golden Crow Demon God cannot be ignored. If the great battle continues and she truly awakens the third demon god, then things will be really troublesome, and the demon god realm may very well launch a counterattack.

"Golden Crow Demon God, do not let these Earthlings go. They are cruel and evil, and have slaughtered countless of our great demons. Dozens of demon kings have perished. These people clearly want to conquer the Demon God Realm. We have no way out now and must fight them to the death."

One of the injured demon kings roared, refusing to accept a ceasefire. He felt that with the appearance of the Golden Crow Demon God, they were fully capable of fighting back. As long as they could hold off the powerful enemy, the remaining demon kings could still inflict heavy damage on Earth.

"The interdimensional war has already broken out, and the two sides have long been sworn enemies. There is no point in stopping the war now. We might as well wipe out this group of evolved beings in one fell swoop and exterminate all of humanity on Earth to prevent them from rising up again and seeking revenge."

Many demon kings also supported continuing the war, not because they really wanted to fight to the death, but because they had no choice in the matter at this point.

Now, instead of taking advantage of the Demon God's existence to eliminate the Earth's evolved beings, this major threat, are we going to wait until Li Yi recovers and his strength fully reaches the Demon God realm before starting the war?
When that time comes, even if the Golden Crow Demon God summons a second demon god, he probably still won't be able to defeat him.

Therefore, even though the Demon God Realm has suffered heavy losses, any Demon King with a brain knows that they cannot retreat.

However, although the Golden Crow Demon God appeared indifferent, he sighed helplessly upon hearing the opinions of the demons. It was true that there was a third Demon God in the Demon God Realm, but the third Fire Phoenix Demon God was currently undergoing Nirvana in the sun, attempting to be reborn, and was completely powerless to participate in this interdimensional war.

As for the former Qilin Demon God and Xuanwu Demon God, they have all passed away one after another.

Although the lifespan of a demon god is endless, the demon soul will be slowly worn away by time, and eventually the will will dissipate, leaving only the body of the demon god to exist in the world. To change this situation, the demon god can only prolong its existence by sleeping or break through to a higher realm.

However, the Demon God had reached the limit of this realm and could not advance any further, so his passing away was an inevitable result.

Of course, it would take a very long time for a demon god to pass away, perhaps hundreds of thousands of years.

However, the Demon God Realm has existed for too long, and no matter how powerful the Demon Gods are, they cannot withstand the creation of heaven and earth. Now, there are only a handful of Demon Gods left in the world, and the Demon Kings find it extremely difficult to break through to the Demon God Realm due to bloodline issues.

Over time, the decline of the Demon God Realm was inevitable, it's just not that serious yet, but it's far from its peak.

"Silence." The Golden Crow Demon God coldly shouted, "If the great battle continues, the Demon God Realm will truly be wiped out. Does your Demon King no longer care about the safety of the Demon God Realm?"

The demons fell silent at his shout.

But some bold demon kings still gritted their teeth and said, "Senior Demon God, if the Demon God Realm is destroyed, so be it. At worst, we can take over Earth and rebuild the Demon God Realm on Earth."

The Golden Crow Demon God's gaze sharpened, but he remained silent.

"Take over Earth? What arrogance! Do you really think that just because your Demon God Realm has one more Demon God, you're guaranteed to win? As for summoning a third Demon God, to be honest, we're not even sure if that's true or not. You think you can fool us with a few words? You're being a bit naive."

At this moment, the Eastern Celestial Venerable changed his usual demeanor, becoming forceful and domineering: "Golden Crow Demon God, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Now I'm giving you one hour to summon the third demon god. If you can do that, then come and talk to me about ending the war."

Having been an enlightened being for many years, he was also a shrewd and experienced individual. He would never back down because of a single word from the other party. Therefore, he had to see the appearance of the third demon god before he would believe that the demon god realm truly had the resources to fight to the death.

Otherwise, he would replace Taiyi Tianzun and fight against this Golden Crow Demon God, and the great battle would continue.

The Great Perfection experts standing nearby, along with several Martial Saints and five military experts with the power of destiny, all agreed with his words. Therefore, they all stared at the Golden Crow Demon God, ready to see his attitude. If he was just bluffing, then sorry, the Demon God Realm was doomed today.

At this moment, the Earth's high-ranking officials inside the command ship also watched this scene in silence, because the Eastern Celestial Venerable was right; the other side really did bring out the third demon god to talk about stopping the war.

The Golden Crow Demon God now understands that it is indeed difficult to intimidate Earth on his own. If he had known this earlier, he should have awakened earlier. At that time, the Purple Dragon Demon God was still there, and the two of them working together might have been able to defeat the powerful enemy.

"Since you insist on this, then this demon god will grant your wish."

The Golden Crow Demon Goddess was caught in a dilemma. She had to do something, otherwise, if she revealed any flaws, it would be tantamount to telling these Earthlings that she was now the last Demon God in the Demon God Realm. If her secrets were exposed then, it would be a real disaster with endless consequences.

Then, she pointed her finger, and a beam of true solar fire transformed into a golden light that instantly flew towards the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Even the Eastern Celestial Venerable could only sense that this demonic god's power was flying towards the sun.

"You only have one hour. After one hour, the battle will continue," said the Eastern Celestial Venerable, his voice carrying for thousands of miles, so that everyone scattered across the continent could hear it.

This also means that everyone has two hours of rest time.

During this time, the seriously injured were immediately sent back to the Immortal Battleship to recuperate, and the exhausted were given a chance to rest. In short, they had to recover their combat strength as quickly as possible within these two hours, because there was a possibility of another great battle.

Of course, this wasn't just the case on Earth; the same was true in the Demon God Realm. However, their preparations were inadequate, preventing them from handling these issues systematically. The Golden Crow Demon God remained unmoved, her golden eyes fixed on the Eastern Celestial Venerable. Similarly, the Eastern Celestial Venerable was also locked in a standoff with the Golden Crow Demon God, preventing a sudden attack.

"I wonder if the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi can recover even a little in an hour," the Heavenly Venerable Dongji thought to himself. He was willing to give the other party an hour, and his most important purpose was to help Li Yi get through this dangerous period.

He didn't dare to extend the time too much, lest the people of the Demon God Realm notice something was wrong.

An hour is a very short time.

But the atmosphere was unusually heavy for both sides. The fighting on the battlefield had subsided, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Only the remaining power was raging between heaven and earth, stirring up gales and lightning. Lava was spewing from the shattered earth, and earthquakes were constant, as if the world had reached its end and was about to perish.

However, these harsh climate conditions are nothing to worry about. Once the great war is over, a few experts can be dispatched to clean up the continent, improve the environment, and restore everything here to its former vitality.

However, the ultimate fate of this world remains to be seen, depending on how things unfold.

at the same time.

While recuperating inside a celestial warship, Li Yi recovered some of his strength with the help of a large amount of life water. At the same time, he mobilized his remaining divine power to forcibly expel the residual demon god power within his body.

Without the influence of the demon god's power, his ruptured wounds began to heal rapidly. The terrifying regenerative ability brought by his golden skin and jade bones began to show, and in less than an hour, his injuries had been completely healed.

Although the injury healed, his body felt completely drained, and he constantly exuded a sense of weakness.

Even with the blessing of incense, Li Yi was unable to unleash the Flower of Magic, and its power was even weaker than before the blessing of incense.

"The divine blood contains divine power. This burning might damage my foundation." Li Yi was well aware of his condition. His only consolation was that he was cultivating both divine and divine powers. Even though most of his divine power had been reduced, he was still powerful thanks to his Three Flowers Realm cultivation.

However, he can no longer fight against the demon god, and now he can probably only defeat the demon king.

"However, from a formal perspective, it's all worthwhile. At least one of the enemy's demon gods has genuinely been defeated and fled. Now, the Eastern Celestial Venerable only needs to proceed according to plan. Wait, what happened outside? Why has the battle stopped?"

Li Yi had finally recovered some of his strength and thought he would see Earth achieve a great victory and completely conquer the Demon God Realm. However, when he looked out through the AI ​​Hong Ji, he found that the great battle had actually ended.

He quickly discovered the problem.

In the distance, a demon woman clad in golden feathers is confronting the Eastern Celestial Venerable.

"Another demon god?" Li Yi's expression changed slightly. He had been recuperating and was completely unaware of what was happening outside. Only now did he see the existence of that demon god.

Immediately, he piloted the Immortal Path Warship back from the rear of the battlefield.

"It's the immortal warship that Li Yi was riding. What's going on? Why did he come back? Wasn't he seriously injured before?" one of the evolved beings asked, puzzled.

The Earth's high command on the command ship also immediately noticed the situation.

"Li Yi, how are you feeling? Do you need any help? It's time for a ceasefire, and the situation here is still under control. Thanks to you for repelling that Purple Dragon Demon God, otherwise, the appearance of this second Demon God would have been really difficult to handle," Zhao Yongsheng asked immediately.

"I'm fine, just a little weakened. My body has almost recovered, so I took this opportunity to come and check on you. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Li Yi said.

Xiao Jianguo said, "Li Yi, after the battle is over, we will send you to World 30 to recuperate. That world is full of opportunities, which may be of some help to you."

"Alright, but now is not the time to talk about that." Li Yi quickly arrived at the front line of the battlefield aboard the immortal warship.

As the hatch opened, he leaped out, stepping on auspicious clouds.

Upon seeing its appearance, the divine blood warriors from the barbaric world were immediately excited. They shouted the name of the God of Crimson Mountain with unparalleled fervor, for they had witnessed the God of Crimson Mountain behead the purple dragon, which was even more powerful than a local god.

Such a feat is enough to make them worship him.

"Taiyi Heavenly Venerable." The other Great Perfection cultivators also bowed in respect.

"Li Yi's injuries are all fine, that's great." Some of Li Yi's friends who knew him before breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was in good condition.

"Too easy."

Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi immediately flew over to greet him, guarding him on both sides to ensure his safety.
