After the Skyfall

Chapter 929: Ketu
Within the still waters of the Boundary Boat.

On this day, a deafening dragon roar suddenly erupted from the summit of a mountain, followed by a phantom of a real dragon emerging from a grand hall, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, extremely ferocious.

This real dragon, whether wagging its tail or extending its claws, has evolved into various moves. If you look closely, you can even see traces of swords, spears, and halberds.

Although each move seems simple, it contains profound truths that captivate the audience.

But soon.

The phantom of the true dragon vanished, and Li Yi transformed into a hundred-foot giant, draped in purple lightning. He threw a punch, on which faint dragon scales appeared—this was the power of the true dragon.

It is formed by the condensation of one's own magical power, bloodline power, physical power, primordial spirit power, and many other factors.

This punch is powerful enough to reverse heaven and earth, sever the sun and moon, and cut down stars; its power is terrifying.

The giants' martial arts demonstration was earth-shattering, and the entire Still Water Secret Realm seemed about to be destroyed. Fortunately, a mysterious array was set up here, protecting the secret realm from damage and withstanding the power of a Heavenly General.

In a valley not far away, where birds sing and flowers bloom, the Dragon Maiden Yushang sat cross-legged on a rock. She was wearing armor, her figure curvaceous, and a crystal-clear broken sword lay across her front. Her eyes were closed, as if she were contemplating something.

But sensing the commotion within the secret realm, she was instantly awakened.

Watching Li Yi perform martial arts in the sky, Dragon Girl Yu Chang was particularly shocked.

"This is the True Dragon Sky-Slaying Technique. He actually mastered it so quickly? How is that possible? He's not a dragon. Mastering a fighting technique that only dragons can use is an extremely difficult thing."

"Moreover, even the True Dragon Force has been successfully condensed."

She clearly recognized the spell Li Yi was practicing, but it was precisely because she recognized it that she was shocked.

Besides, this was the first time that Long Nu Yu Shang had seen Li Yi reveal his true form.

She had always thought Li Yi was human.

It now seems that Li Yi is probably one of the branches of the human race, possessing an extraordinary physique and bloodline. As for his specific race, the Dragon Girl Yu Chang still doesn't know enough to recognize him.

But they are somewhat similar to the Celestials.

Most likely, they are of mixed race.

In the Celestial Realm, mixed-race races are very common, but most mixed-race individuals do not have high potential, because as a cultivator, you cannot have both.

In fact, Long Nu Yu Shang was right; Li Yi was indeed of mixed race.

However, after undergoing the baptism of purple blood, he lost the bloodline of the golden dragon, and the bloodline of the god of thunder also underwent a mutation, which made him an anomaly.

This change freed Li Yi from the constraints of his bloodline, allowing his potential to be limitlessly unleashed.

He just doesn't know it yet.

This is why Li Yi made rapid progress in cultivating the Five-Colored Holy Light Technique and the True Dragon Soaring to the Heavens Technique.

The fortune that occurred in the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness did not truly increase Li Yi's strength, but rather gave him limitless possibilities. For him, there would be no bottleneck in his future cultivation.

The giant, draped in lightning, practiced the True Dragon Fighting Heaven Technique, his movements were magnificent and astonishing.

Dragon Girl Yu Chang couldn't help but observe as well. Watching Li Yi practice, her bloodline instincts seemed to be activated, and she couldn't help but learn along with him.

This fighting technique is only worthy of being learned by the Dragon King within the Dragon Clan; a mixed-blood dragon girl like Yu Chang is not qualified to learn it.

Although you can buy it inside the Dragon Palace Treasure Pavilion.

But with prices often reaching hundreds of thousands, which general can afford to buy one?
With that kind of money, you might as well buy a Heavenly King Weapon. That would be a more direct way to increase your strength. After all, even if you learn the True Dragon Fighting Technique and your strength improves, you still can't beat a Heavenly General in the same realm who is wielding a Heavenly King Weapon.

Only a rich guy like Li Yi, who has amassed a huge sum of money from Hua Qing, would spend his resources on this.

Li Yi practiced the True Dragon Soaring to the Heavens Technique for three whole days, during which time he became more and more proficient. With every move he made, the True Dragon Force would erupt, and every move would reveal a mysterious power. A casual strike could unleash boundless might.

However, on the fourth day, five-colored light suddenly emanated from his body. Then, this light condensed and enhanced his fists and feet, causing his already terrifying moves to break through a certain limit and reach a terrifying level of annihilation.

At that moment, he had a sudden inspiration and combined the Five-Colored Divine Light Technique with the True Dragon Sky-Slaying Technique, intending to develop a supreme fighting method unique to him.

Within the five elements of heaven and earth, there is nothing that cannot be killed.

Li Yi's initial demonstration already astonished the Dragon Maiden Yu Chang with its power. She had no doubt that if she were hit head-on by the Five-Colored True Dragon Force, she would be completely obliterated, and even if she wore Heavenly General-level armor, she would suffer severe injuries.

Only the Heavenly King's Army can completely defend against this level of attack.

"Is there no limit to his potential? He actually combined two great techniques and successfully practiced them." Dragon Girl Yu Chang felt that she had underestimated Li Yi.

This person may soon break through to the Heavenly King Realm, or even the Heavenly Emperor Realm, and may become a Heavenly Venerable in the future.

As a dragon maiden, Yu Chang is not young anymore and has seen many geniuses from various races. Although many of these geniuses are stronger than Li Yi, in terms of growth rate, Li Yi is definitely ahead of everyone else.

After all, she had personally witnessed how Li Yi had improved in such a short time.

Li Yi was initially a bit rusty when practicing the dual techniques, and sometimes the Five-Colored Divine Light and the True Dragon Force would conflict. However, as time went on, this happened less and less.

He became increasingly proficient in wielding both spells.

As he immersed himself in the practice, three Dao flowers bloomed above his head, and the light of his primordial spirit emitted a layer of hazy purple aura. This layer of purple aura gave him astonishing comprehension.

The giant, now crackling with purple lightning, seemed to have transformed into a colossal dragon, unleashing terrifying fighting techniques. Under the illumination of the five-colored divine light, nothing remained. Such power was utterly frightening.

Dragon Girl Yu Chang could no longer keep up with Li Yi's pace of magic because it was too profound and she couldn't comprehend it at all. However, she also gained some opportunities and learned some True Dragon Fighting Techniques, which greatly improved her combat power compared to before.

This continued for several more days.

this day.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the Still Water Secret Realm.

"Who is it?" Upon hearing the commotion, the dragon maiden Yushang immediately approached and asked.

"I am Jidu, one of the captains of the escort team. I have some things I would like to discuss with you. Please open the door and let me in." A voice rang out from outside the door.

Dragon Girl Yu Chang immediately remembered and said, "Wait a moment, I need to ask my master first."

She then immediately flew towards the giant performing martial arts, but she dared not get close, only relaying the message to Li Yi from afar.

Upon receiving the message, Li Yi, who was practicing martial arts, immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Ji Du of the escort team? Could it be that the matter of the Rakshasa clan is not over yet?" Li Yi's expression changed, and he immediately used the Size Control Technique to retract his hundred-foot true body before frowning and thinking.

"Forget it, I can't figure it out, I'll just go take a look."

He took a deep breath, swallowing all the thunderous power and five-colored light. After the strange phenomena disappeared, he took the dragon girl to meet the captain of the escort team.

When the nine-zhang-tall gate was opened, Jidu, the Heavenly General clad in heavy armor, stood outside.

Jidu glanced at Li Yi, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

He sensed a special aura emanating from Li Yi.

It's hard to explain, but to put it simply, it's an invincible aura.

Only a victorious warrior can cultivate this aura. He worked on the Boundary Ship and had seen countless people, so he had the judgment to back it up.

“My name is Jidu, the captain of the escort team on the Boundary Ship. We met some time ago. There are some things I would like to talk to you about. I wonder if it’s convenient for you?” Jidu said.

Li Yi nodded and did not refuse the other party.

After a while.

The three arrived at an open space in the Still Water Secret Realm.

Li Yi pointed, and auspicious clouds gathered, transforming into tables and chairs, gesturing for the other party to take a seat.

"Captain Jidu, my name is Taiyi. I am just an ordinary passenger on the Boundary Ship. I wonder what business it is that requires your personal attention?" he asked politely.

Jidu said, "It's about the Rakshasa clan. Although those two Rakshasa and that demon general have been killed, the commotion you caused was too great. There are other Rakshasa on the World Ship, so you've been targeted by the Rakshasa."

"In the following period of time, the powerful members of the Rakshasa clan boarded the World Ship one after another, including many Heavenly King level beings."

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

He knew there would be trouble later, but he didn't expect it to be this troublesome. Even the Heavenly King of the Rakshasa Clan had to be mobilized. They really think highly of him.

“I think you should know the purpose of those Rakshasa experts. They were already making moves on the Boundary Ship. Our escort team, Divine Might Heavenly King, has already warned them. They dare not act recklessly for the time being, but as soon as they leave the Boundary Ship, the Rakshasa experts will immediately take action,” Jidu said calmly.

"Those Rakshasa should be searching for you everywhere right now. Fortunately, you stayed in the secret realm and didn't show your face during this time, so they are not sure of your location yet."

"So, does that mean I'm doomed?"

Li Yi said calmly, "I just don't know why Captain Jidu specifically came to tell me about this? Logically speaking, this matter should have nothing to do with you, Captain."

Jidu sneered, "The Rakshasa clan is causing trouble in the area I'm in charge of, and now they're openly boarding the ship to look for someone. If I do nothing and just let you get killed as soon as you leave the boundary ship, where will I put my face as the captain?"

"The Rakshasa clan is indeed powerful, but the escort fleet is not to be underestimated either, so I don't really want to see their scheme succeed. Taiyi, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Yi nodded slightly, understanding Captain Jidu's thoughts.

It's likely that he wasn't the only one thinking this way. The Divine King behind the escort team probably didn't want to see the Rakshasa clan so arrogant, so he wanted to use himself to teach the Rakshasa clan a lesson and make them back down.

As for whether I live or die afterward, it's probably not that important.

Of course, if you're lucky, you might be able to fight your way out.

"So, what does Captain Jidu want me to do?" Li Yi asked.

Jidu said, "Some Rakshasa people need to die so they can keep quiet. But it's not easy to make a move inside the Boundary Ship, and we don't want to see a bunch of Rakshasa searching for your whereabouts and disturbing the peace on the Boundary Ship."

"So I hope you will take the initiative to step forward and attract all these demons over, so that they won't cause trouble."

"Is the captain telling me to go to my death?" Li Yi's gaze sharpened.

If that's the case, he wouldn't mind killing the captain right now and then using the in-game currency to escape across worlds.
