After the Skyfall

Chapter 919 Race against time
Li Yi's primordial spirit dharma form stood on the supreme treasure, the Crimson Lotus. With the help of the Crimson Lotus's light, he could temporarily remain safe in this chaotic space. However, the chaotic energy here was extremely terrifying. Even with the protection of a rare treasure like the Crimson Lotus, it would be difficult to maintain this state for long. If he could not escape from here during this period, he would inevitably be eroded by the chaotic energy and completely dissolved.

After sending his physical body into the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet, Li Yi immediately began to try crossing realms.

However, when he took out the knife coin, he saw that the precious light on the knife coin was instantly dimmed by the chaotic energy, all the wonders disappeared, and it instantly became an ordinary object.

"how is this possible?"

Hua Qing was shocked when he saw this: "Even the power of the knife coin has been swallowed up by this chaotic space. This is simply outrageous."

The knife-shaped coin can even tear open the celestial membrane of the heavens and earth, forcibly carrying people across realms, but here, it has no effect whatsoever.

Li Yi's gaze also darkened: "It seems that this space is restrained by all magical treasures and artifacts, and only some special things can exist. I was lucky to survive because of the supreme treasure, the Crimson Lotus. Otherwise, I would have been completely dissolved during the time I was unconscious."

"Moreover, it's not just the knife coins; my Five Elements Bracelet was also corrupted. Only by placing it on the Crimson Lotus and relying on its protection can it be restored."

He looked at the Five Elements Bracelet with a solemn expression.

It should be noted that Li Yi's Five Elements Bracelet had been reforged by the Celestial Craftsman, incorporating many precious materials such as star cores, black gold divine iron, and divine wood. Its power was enough to trap a demon god, and it could also provide itself with a continuous source of spiritual energy. Moreover, the space inside was extremely large.

but now.

The surface was pitted, twisted, and dull, as if it had been severely corroded.

"If even the knife coins are useless, then I'm afraid we won't be able to escape." Hua Qing's face was tense, and he was getting anxious.

This feeling of waiting to die is absolutely unpleasant.

Li Yi remained silent. With a flick of his primordial spirit avatar, he immediately stepped onto the crimson lotus and flew rapidly towards a direction in the chaotic space.

"What are you doing?" Hua Qing asked hurriedly.

“Since this chaotic space is the stomach of some being, it must have an end. Find the end of the space, find a way to tear open a hole, and escape from here,” Li Yi said.

"It's useless. It can support space and contain chaotic energy. This creature's stomach is more than just a stomach. You think you can tear it open? That's wishful thinking." Hua Qing shook his head.

"We should at least try, rather than just sit and wait to die," Li Yi said solemnly.

Hua Qing was taken aback.

That's true. Although the behavior is somewhat ridiculous, it's better than sitting here waiting to die. What if a miracle happens?

However, this chaotic space has no up, down, left, or right directions. Li Yi can only rely on his luck to reach the end of this space. Otherwise, he will only dissipate halfway through his journey.

As Li Yi continued forward, he suddenly saw a huge golden dragon skeleton lying in the chaotic space. The skeleton was almost completely dissolved, leaving only a spine and a few dragon scales.

"It's that King-level Yingyu. After eating the Dragon Transformation Pill, it transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon, but unfortunately, it was also swallowed. I didn't expect it to be almost digested so quickly." Hua Qing felt a chill in his heart upon seeing this: "Those few undigested pieces are the reverse scales of a true dragon, indestructible, and can be used to forge King-level armor. There should also be a dragon tendon in that spine, which is also a King-level treasure. Many people like to forge it into a Binding Immortal Rope or make a divine bow."

"However, even if it is the essence of the five-clawed golden dragon, it will not remain for long and will soon be completely swallowed up by the chaotic energy."

But before he could finish speaking, Li Yi immediately put the remains and scales of the five-clawed dragon into the Five Elements Bracelet.

"Huh? What time is it? You're still greedy for money?" Hua Qing was taken aback.

"I'm just passing by anyway, might as well pick them up," Li Yi said. "If I die, these things will be buried with me. If I manage to get out alive, these will be my capital to make a name for myself in the Heavenly Realm."

“That seems to make some sense.” Hua Qing couldn’t find a reason to refute it.

Li Yi's gaze turned to his surroundings again: "Anything that can remain in this chaotic space must be extraordinary. Perhaps I can find something more useful to help me escape from here."

He continued forward, observing his surroundings.

soon.

He saw the remains of a Rakshasa general, but it had been almost completely dissolved by the chaotic energy, leaving only half of a Rakshasa horn. Moreover, that horn was covered with cracks, dull and lifeless, and devoid of any divinity.

And so, a celestial general returned to dust, to ashes.

soon.

He saw the remains of another water-avoiding beast. This was no ordinary water-avoiding beast, but the Water-avoiding Beast King, a being of the Heavenly King level. However, the Water-avoiding Beast King's fate was even worse. Its once enormous body was reduced to a broken skull, but next to it floated a precious pearl.

The pearl was now enveloped in chaotic energy, and its light was dim.

"That's a water-repelling pearl left behind by the Water-Repelling Beast King after its death. It's extremely valuable. You can take it. If you don't take it now, it won't be long before the water-repelling pearl is completely dissolved," Hua Qing reminded him.

Li Yi nodded and immediately put it into the Five Elements Bracelet after passing by.

Upon entering the Five Elements Bracelet, the Water-Repelling Pearl, freed from the suppression of the chaotic energy, immediately emitted a deep blue light and astonishing spiritual energy, displaying extraordinary power. However, taking the Water-Repelling Pearl was merely a side matter; Li Yi hadn't forgotten that his current mission was to survive.

So although he was greedy, he only stole things as a matter of convenience, without affecting his own escape.

He continued fleeing for a while, and at this point he only saw some mutilated remains of living beings, nothing of value. This showed that beings below the Heavenly King level had no way to survive in this chaotic space.

It will soon be digested by the chaotic energy.

Even at the Heavenly King level, at this point in time, only the most essential elements can remain.

It's a miracle that Li Yi, with his Heavenly Soldier-level combat power, has survived in this chaotic space until now and still has the strength to wander around.

"That looks like the head of a Rakshasa." Soon, Li Yi made another discovery.

In a chaotic space, a head floated silently in mid-air, motionless, allowing the chaotic energy to erode it, yet the head remained relatively intact.

“That’s the head of the Rakshasa King of the Rakshasa Clan,” Hua Qing said in surprise.

Li Yi also noticed it. He glanced at it with his primordial spirit avatar, then moved slightly closer and immediately recognized it as the head of the Heavenly King of Power.

He then sneered, "If he hadn't coerced me into helping him find some water-repelling beast, I wouldn't be in this predicament today."

But as soon as Li Yi finished speaking...

Sudden.

Suddenly, the head of the Heavenly King of Power in the chaos opened its eyes, and then stared at the primordial spirit dharma image in the distance with shock and astonishment.

"Oh no, the Heavenly King of Strength is not dead yet. He has concentrated all his strength and primordial spirit on his head, slowing down the rate at which he is eroded by the chaotic energy."

Hua Qing was immediately startled.

This guy is incredibly lucky. You know, all the other Heavenly King-level beings are just broken remains, and it's amazing that he's still alive.

"So it was you who orchestrated all of this." King Chili stared at Li Yi, his voice hoarse and filled with resentment.

Li Yi said calmly, "You've found out too late. No one would willingly be coerced by you. At worst, we'd all perish together. You can stay here and wait to die. I'm going to find a way to survive."

He didn't linger, because his time was limited, so he quickly moved away.

King Chili was furious when he saw Li Yi leave. He roared and spat out a scarlet divine light, intending to destroy Li Yi's primordial spirit.

However, as the chaotic energy surged, the divine light vanished instantly, its power dissipated, and it transformed into a blood-red longsword that flew out.

Li Yi turned around, paused for a moment, and then casually caught the blood-red longsword that had flown towards him.

"No attack works within the chaotic space, even if you are a Heavenly King level expert. However, your sword looks well preserved, so I will accept it without hesitation. Thank you."

He glanced at the blood-red longsword. This weapon had not been corrupted by the chaotic energy, clearly indicating that the Heavenly King of Power had intentionally preserved it.

"This is a top-tier royal weapon, extremely precious even in the Celestial Realm. Very good," Hua Qing commented.

"Damn it!" King Chili roared angrily upon seeing this.

But Li Yi did not stop. Instead, he quickly moved away and disappeared ahead without a trace. He was too lazy to even send the Heavenly King of Power on his way. He would rather let the other party wait to die here.

We flew for a while longer.

Li Yi saw another mutilated skull, and a lingering spirit transmitted through it: "Save me, save me! I am Princess Manluo, of the Rakshasa royal bloodline! Save me, and I will give you the Heavenly Emperor's Weapon and serve you as your slave. I will also give you a powerful Rakshasa guard, and more!"

"Sorry, I'm an Earthling, I don't fall for your tricks."

He decisively interrupted the other person.

Unexpectedly, that Rakshasa woman was still alive, but her condition was much worse than that of the Heavenly King of Power. Only a remnant soul remained in her skull, and she would completely vanish in no time.

Li Yi continued to travel through the chaos, but further on, he no longer encountered the remains of any living beings, presumably because they had all been completely digested.

At this moment, the crimson lotus light that protected him also dimmed considerably.

This intensified his sense of crisis. He didn't have much time left to escape, so he was racing against time and dared not waste a single moment, hoping to find a way to survive within this limited time.
