After the Skyfall

Chapter 912 The Sea of ​​Return to Ruins
"One hundred and fifty magical acupoints."

Li Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and lightning crackled around his body. He finished his cultivation and stood up, swallowing the spiritual energy of thousands of miles in one breath. His body seemed to possess endless power.

At the same time, a flower of magical power condensed above his head. Although it had not yet bloomed, it signified that Li Yi had successfully broken through to the second level of the Three Flowers Realm.

"I never expected that two peaches would bring me such good fortune, regenerate my divine blood, reopen my acupoints, and even break through my cultivation level." Li Yi was overjoyed.

Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for him to open 150 acupoints and have two flowers bloom during cultivation. It would take an unknown amount of resources to achieve this.

But now, he broke through after eating just two fruits.

Hua Qing was absolutely right. You can't raise a true dragon by diving into the deep. Only by breaking free from the confines and venturing into a wider world can one reach a higher realm. Now, neither Earth nor any other world can offer Li Yi anything anymore.

"Congratulations, your strength has improved again." At this moment, Hua Qing's voice rang out, and not far from Yun Hai, a delicately carved child, only half a meter tall, stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"You've grown up? How long have I been cultivating this time?" Li Yi asked.

Hua Qing said, "It's not long, only three months have passed. Time has no limits in cultivation. Your breakthrough speed is already fast enough. This is the benefit of opportunity. If you had cultivated step by step, you would probably still be struggling on Earth by now."

"Although I have made some breakthroughs in my cultivation level, my combat strength is not much better than it was at its peak. I will only be able to surpass my previous level once my injuries are fully healed," Li Yi said.

“Back in my hometown, there’s something that can help restore your divine blood, so don’t worry,” Hua Qing said. “I’m almost ready here. It’s time to start again. Are you ready?”

"Let's go." Li Yi stretched his muscles and bones to get used to the power in his body, and then spoke.

Although Hua Qing looked like an infant, he was extremely mature and composed. He flipped his palm, and the knife coin appeared, radiating a crystal-clear light. Moreover, unlike before, the knife coin seemed to have completely recovered to its peak condition.

He must have spent some time fixing it during this period.

"Now that you're ready, I'll begin breaking through the barrier. This time, there will be no rest stops; I'll take you straight to my hometown." Hua Qing finished speaking and waved his hand.

The knife-shaped coin flew out, instantly cleaving open the interdimensional gate, and a time-space tunnel reappeared before their eyes.

He then rushed in first, and Li Yi followed closely behind.

As the spatial gate closed, the two, under the protection of the sword, coins, and treasures, traversed numerous worlds, following a special path, gradually breaking free from their shackles and heading towards a more expansive world.

Li Yi also noticed the changes around him at this moment.

There are more and more paths to cultivation.

He arrived in a world of gods, but that world was not peaceful. The gods were at war, and the world was on the verge of collapse. He also briefly passed through a kingdom of giants, which was even more terrifying than the barbaric world.
We went around in circles.

Finally, light appeared at the end of the darkness, but an invisible barrier blocked their way.

“We’ve arrived.” Hua Qing’s eyes flickered slightly: “This is the membrane of heaven and earth, indestructible, the barrier of this great world. Even at my peak, I couldn’t open it. Only a knife coin could tear a corner, allowing us to cross the boundary and arrive here.”

"So once you enter here, you can no longer cross boundaries?" Li Yi asked.

“Yes, even the strongest beings in this great world find it difficult to open the interdimensional gate. You don’t need to be surprised. The higher the world level, the stronger the defense. Only the space of a small world is unstable. If it weren’t for the protective membrane of heaven and earth, wouldn’t a great war between the strong beings destroy the world?” Hua Qing said.

“That’s true.” Li Yi nodded slightly; Hua Qing was right.

During the Great War in the Wilderness, he could clearly feel that the Wilderness was more robust than Earth, and the residual effects of the war did not cause much damage.

soon.

The knife-shaped coin transformed into a beam of precious light and adhered to the membrane of heaven and earth, then opened up a narrow passage. Although it was not large, it was enough for cultivators.

The two immediately changed their size, shrinking before flying inside.

Then, the knife-shaped coin transformed into a beam of light and flew back.

However, Li Yi made his move at this moment. He grabbed the knife coin from a distance and put it into his palm, saying, "This knife coin is mine. Now it is returned to its rightful owner."

Hua Qing laughed and said, "You are really cautious. Don't worry, I won't fight you for it. You can take it. I'm going home now and I don't need it anymore."

"That's good, but we should still say it beforehand to avoid hurting our relationship," Li Yi said.

At this moment, he paid attention to his surroundings again.

At this moment, the two appeared on a vast sea. This sea had no end in sight, and the seawater was peculiar. Some areas of the sea were black, and some areas were blue. A rich aura of the five elements filled the surroundings.

Li Yi took a breath and felt his magical power increase. It seemed that this world contained not only spiritual energy, but also a strange energy.

This energy level is very high and is very beneficial to spiritual practice.

"This is bad." Hua Qing's expression changed as he looked around.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi asked.

Hua Qing's face was somewhat grim: "Although the coordinates do deviate slightly when crossing boundaries, it shouldn't be this much. We're currently on the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, and we can't stay here long. We need to fly eastward towards the sun as quickly as possible, and be prepared to fight at any moment." After saying that, he immediately transformed into a beam of light and rushed directly into Li Yi's body.

"Please make room for me with your spirit. I'm temporarily residing in your body. I don't want to be eaten."

Li Yi was speechless.

But soon.

He immediately sensed something, his expression changed drastically, and he looked towards a patch of deep sea not far away.

Suddenly.

The seawater burst open, and a colossal creature emerged from the water, charging towards them.

Li Yi couldn't see what it was, only a pair of cold, vertical pupils. Without hesitation, he channeled his divine power and magic, and with the roar of a dragon and a tiger, he unleashed a punch from afar.

boom!
It was accompanied by the release of power.

But then something unbelievable happened. The attack didn't repel the figure; instead, Li Yi was hit and sent flying backward.

Li Yi felt an extremely terrifying force descend upon him, a force surpassing even that of the Demon God, capable of instantly obliterating him.

Even after flying backwards for several thousand meters, he managed to regain his balance.

A suit of armor appeared on his body at some unknown time. This armor shimmered with starlight and was indestructible, protecting him.

"It was the Black Gold Star Armor that the Celestial Craftsman made for me," Li Yi thought to himself, but even so, he was still shaken so badly that blood streamed from the corner of his mouth.

Only then did he get a clear look at the figure.

Resembling both a dragon and a beast.

"This is a water-avoiding beast, the Centipede Viper. Hurry up and don't hesitate. If one of these things appears, there will be a whole swarm," Hua Qing urged immediately.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's expression changed drastically.

This one is so ferocious. If he hadn't made a breakthrough in his strength earlier, he might have been killed just now. If a whole group of them appeared, he would probably have been eaten to the bone.

He had originally intended to take out the Demon God Sword and fight the opponent.

But now he doesn't even have the will to fight anymore.

No hesitation.

He immediately turned and ran.

He used the technique of riding the clouds and mist to its fullest extent, gathering and dispersing energy, making his figure unpredictable, and he moved away from this place at an extremely fast speed, fleeing eastward.

The water-avoiding beast roared and plunged into the sea, then chased after Li Yi.

"It's catching up. This thing is faster in water than in the air," Hua Qing said.

"I can feel it. Its aura is rapidly approaching, and there are at least four other beings with the same aura heading my way. I've really provoked a whole bunch of them. I'm so unlucky to encounter something like this as soon as I cross over to another realm." Li Yi's lips twitched.

"Not really. Water-avoiding beasts are considered weak even in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness, otherwise they wouldn't live in groups. As evolved beings, don't you even understand this?"

“Only the weak band together; the strong walk alone,” Hua Qing said.

"Stop talking, I feel like we're about to be caught up," Li Yi said.

The next moment, a water-avoiding beast caught up with him from the side, its huge head emerging from the sea. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out an intense beam of light that slashed towards Li Yi.

Although this attack was not very loud, its power surpassed that of the Purple Dragon Demon King's peak attack.

"Get out of my way." Li Yi gripped the Demon God Sword and unleashed a terrifying sword beam with all his might.

The two attacks collided.

The Demon God Sword's attack was slightly superior, cleaving through the beam of light and simultaneously striking the water-avoiding beast, tearing a minor gash that failed to inflict fatal damage.

"That's really perverted."

Through this attack, Li Yi roughly understood each other's strength.

With the Demon God Sword in hand and wearing the Black Gold Star Armor, killing a Water-Avoiding Beast wouldn't be difficult for him, but he definitely couldn't withstand being surrounded and attacked by the enemy.
