After the Skyfall

Chapter 975 The Truth About the Source
Upon entering the small world, Li Yi did not rush forward. Instead, keeping his promise to Hua Qing, he tossed out some Nine Heavens Divine Water, cast a spell, and transformed it into a torrential rain that poured down upon this world.

The divine water of the Nine Heavens immediately nourished this small world, and many rare treasures of heaven and earth benefited from it. Even the peach tree began to bloom.

After finishing this task, Li Yi did not linger and used the knife coins to cross over again.

The road you came from looks the same way you will return.

No.

There have been some changes.

Li Yi passed through a world teeming with demons and monsters. He remembered that when he first passed through this world, he had unleashed a powerful attack, transforming into a fierce tiger to slay demons and monsters.

Now, several years later, the world has indeed become less chaotic and polluted. Some places have regained some vitality, and many people are able to make a living.

"Although the power of my strike has dissipated, I don't know how many evil demons and monsters I killed before it dissipated. It probably had a great deterrent effect on those who came after me."

Li Yi felt a surge of emotion.

He never imagined that his casual strike would directly save a chaotic world, giving the world's poor a chance to survive.

At that time, he was just a celestial soldier.

Thinking of this, Li Yi launched another attack.

The power of the Heavenly King manifested, and a white tiger was formed once again.

This white tiger wasn't large, only three zhang long, but its whole body was brimming with divine power, its eyes were incredibly intelligent, and it could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sustain itself. It even possessed a high level of intelligence.

It seemed to be a true spirit born from heaven and earth.

"Go, help me protect this world, and slay those evil demons, monsters, and heretics." Li Yi gave the order to the white tiger manifested by the power of the Heavenly King.

The white tiger let out a low roar, then turned to look at Li Yi, the creator, before leaping into this world.

Li Yi watched him leave.

As long as the spiritual energy of this world does not dry up, this white tiger will exist forever.

Such a white tiger is powerful enough to kill heavenly soldiers, making it an invincible existence in this world. No evil demons or monsters can kill this white tiger.

I believe that in a few years the world will return to peace and tranquility.

It would be too easy for Li Yi, this Heavenly King, to save a world. He could completely change the fate of a world with just a wave of his hand. Of course, it would also be easy for him to destroy a world.

When he was a celestial being, he could destroy a world with a single blow; now, it's even easier.

After doing this, he continued to cross boundaries, heading towards Earth along the same path he had come from. If he encountered such a terrible world along the way, he would leave behind a white tiger to help that world purify itself of evil.

If that world is plagued by disasters and on the verge of destruction, he will unleash the power of a celestial king to change the world and eliminate the calamities.

Along the way, Li Yi has saved more than a dozen worlds.

Although this approach would not bring him any benefit, as an Earthling who had experienced the cataclysmic event and had finally cultivated to the Heavenly King level, he was still happy to offer some help to the terrible world.

After passing some time on the journey, Li Yi quickly crossed over to Earth.

The spiritual energy here is more abundant than before I left, but the corresponding pollution problem still exists. However, because my previous actions destroyed the great array on the moon, this level of pollution is no longer harmful to people.

Moreover, Li Yi could sense that many more worlds were beginning to collide with Earth, forming new cross-boundary points.

In other words, during the years Li Yi was away, Earth experienced another celestial collapse.

However, the Earth did not suffer significant damage.

Several years ago, the realm of demons and gods was destroyed. The demon king perished and the demon gods fled. The deterrent effect of this battle is still present, so Earth is still in a period of peace.

Li Yi immediately withdrew the power of the Heavenly King.

To this world, the existence of the Heavenly King would only bring destruction, because heaven and earth are too fragile. He only needs to wave his hand slightly to destroy space, and if he controls his power more precisely, he can open the interdimensional gate with his bare hands.

After a brief observation of Earth, he then headed toward the lunar defenses.

It's just one step.

Li Yi had already arrived on the moon.

Meanwhile, the area around the moon was already filled with various satellites, monitoring and observing the Crystal Palace on the moon at all times.

Li Yi's sudden appearance immediately triggered alarms on all the satellites and monitoring systems.

now.

Inside the command center of a base on Earth, many cultivators and high-ranking officials gathered.

"What's going on with that source of pollution on the moon? Why did the alarm suddenly go off?"

Over the past few years, despite the fact that the source of pollution has been identified and monitored constantly, no one has been able to eradicate this malignant tumor.

Even a demon god-level warrior would face great calamity if he went to the moon.

Li Yi had an accident before.

Therefore, the Earth's upper levels can only monitor and handle the situation.

"No, it's not that something is wrong with the Crystal Palace on the moon; it's that someone has appeared on the moon," a staff member said.

"Damn it, didn't we warn those cultivators not to fly up there unless necessary? That crystal palace contains something extremely terrifying. If it is provoked, it could bring about a world-destroying disaster. Quickly notify them to come back!" The higher-ups in the monitoring room immediately became anxious.

The source of pollution is now a transparent matter among cultivators on Earth.

Even so, no one has been able to solve this problem to this day. Li Yi, the strongest evolved being on Earth, once tried, but ended up escaping across dimensions.

After that, their superiors realized that there was something even more terrifying than the Demon God there, and that if they wanted to make contact with it, their strength would have to surpass that of the Demon God and reach a higher level.

If you don't have it, then don't touch it; it's better for everyone.

However, before the high-ranking official in the monitoring room could even get angry, the AI ​​system next to him had already identified the other party's identity.

Li Yi from Tianchang City!
"Wait, Li Yi has appeared. He's gone to the moon again?" The high-ranking official immediately retracted his previous statement: "Let him give it a try. If it's Li Yi, we can still have some hope. After all, he's the only one in the world who has dealt with the source of pollution and has some understanding of it."

He stopped all the staff in the monitoring room and then stared at the situation on the satellite screen.

Although they were far apart, Li Yi's figure could still be seen striding towards the crystal palace.

At this moment, Li Yi was walking on the northern side of the moon. He was no longer timid as before, but only calm and fearless. He refused to believe that he, a Heavenly King, could not deal with this source of pollution.

The reason we couldn't solve it back then was because we lacked the strength to deal with the terrifying creature sealed within the crystal palace, but the situation is different now.

As Li Yi approached the Crystal Palace, as before, the remains of many ancient creatures that had been slumbering there were awakened. They had absorbed the power of pollution to survive there, and would awaken to kill any intruders who approached.

The remains of these ancient creatures are quite powerful; if they were all revived and attacked Earth, they would cause the destruction of the world.

This is why there are so many surveillance cameras here.

However, Li Yi unleashed a Heavenly King's power, instantly annihilating all the resurrected ancient corpses, leaving none alive to prevent any potential threats.

This scene was also captured by the AI ​​satellite.

"As expected, Li Yi's strength is even more terrifying this time. Those ancient corpses and remains on the back of the moon are no match for him. He wiped them all out with a single blow." The senior staff in the monitoring room were overjoyed at this sight.

This was a major threat they had been observing for a long time.

After dealing with these things, Li Yi headed straight for the Crystal Palace. He remembered that Hua Qing's remnant soul had entered it before, but was driven back by a beam of light that transformed into two divine swords.

At that time, Li Yi's strength was probably at the level of a celestial soldier.

Think so.

The fact that the opponent could kill a heavenly soldier with a single glance shows that their strength is truly extraordinary; at least a heavenly general could not have done it.

With a hint of wariness, Li Yi arrived at the entrance of the Crystal Palace.

The aura of pollution wafted from the main hall, but it was all dispelled by the divine power emanating from him, and the pollution could no longer affect him.

He then reached out and pushed open the palace gate.

A pungent, long-dormant smell wafted over.

The Crystal Palace may not look large, but it is a self-contained space, like a secret realm. It is dimly lit, like a world that has fallen into darkness.

Inside the palace, countless corpses lay scattered about.

These corpses included humans, demons, and some unknown races, but there was no doubt that these remains were all powerful in life, at least at the level of demon gods.

The remains covered the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Moreover, after countless years, it has only dried up, but has not rotted.

Li Yi stood in the void. With a glance, he immediately discovered that the entire palace was a large formation, and the remains on the ground were empty shells that had been drained of all their power.

The power of the countless ancient remains has now converged in one place.

However, on the ground of this palace, there was a particularly conspicuous mark. This mark damaged a corner of the great formation, causing the formation to malfunction.

That was the attack left behind by Hua Qing's remnant soul controlling the knife coin.

Then Li Yi looked towards the end of the darkness.

There is a high platform.

A figure sat cross-legged on the high platform, decaying and emaciated, yet exuding a corrupt and evil power.

As Li Yi entered the crystal palace, the figure on the high platform seemed to awaken, immediately opening his eyes, and a gaze transformed into two divine swords that slashed down in an instant.

But the next moment.

A burst of five-colored divine light erupted, and the two divine swords vanished without a trace.

"The Five-Colored Divine Light Technique, the power of the Heavenly King—has a Heavenly King descended to the mortal realm?" An ancient, hoarse, and deep voice slowly echoed within the dark palace.

Upon hearing this voice, Li Yi immediately understood: "So that's how it is. The source of the pollution is also a Heavenly King. No wonder I didn't even have the qualifications to enter back then, and I was almost killed."

"Although you are very weak, the aura of the Heavenly King cannot be faked."

He could tell what was wrong with the other person.

It was as if it had been without nutrition for a long time and was only being kept alive by its former essence. Moreover, the stone platform seemed to have some kind of restriction, keeping the other party pressed on it and unable to escape.

So this ancient Heavenly King has been sitting here in solitude, immortal and indestructible, for countless millennia.
