After the Skyfall

Chapter 976 The Hidden Plan
"I never imagined that a Heavenly King would be so bored, staying in such a small world, setting up a large array to spread pollution, and just sitting here in vain."

Li Yi stared at the gaunt figure on the high platform, and then a blood-red sword appeared in his hand.

This is the Heavenly King's Blood Divine Sword.

Now that the source has been discovered, the natural course of action is to thoroughly cleanse it and usher Earth into an era of spiritual revival.

The gaunt figure on the high platform said, "You want to kill me? You'd better give up that idea. If I die, this world will truly perish. I was once like you, from the heavens, but unlike you, I came here on a mission to fulfill my duty."

"Coming under orders?" Li Yi immediately asked, "Under whose orders? The Heavenly Emperor's orders?"

"No, it is an order from a Celestial Venerable. I only need to sit here for 100,000 years, and I can return to the Celestial Realm and become a Celestial Emperor," the withered voice said.

The reason he was willing to say so much was simply because the person in front of him was also a superstar.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would have killed him long ago; there would be no need for so much nonsense.

"You think you can scare me by invoking the Heavenly Venerable?" Li Yi sneered. "You are going to die here today no matter what. This kind of evil formation should not exist."

"The Celestial Venerable has his own considerations, which are beyond my comprehension. Fellow Daoist, if you know what's good for you, leave quickly to avoid disaster. If you insist on fighting me, you will not have a good end." The withered figure issued a warning, showing no fear of Li Yi, a peak Heavenly King, even though he was extremely weak.

This confidence seems to conceal some hidden agenda.

"Oh, then tell me, which Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Realm would be so bored as to arrange for a Heavenly King to descend to the mortal realm and sit on this tiny moon to maintain the operation of a pollution array?" Li Yi didn't rush to make a move; he wanted to extract more useful information.

"The name of the Heavenly Venerable cannot be spoken, for to speak it will surely cause repercussions, which will be bad for both you and me." The gaunt figure on the high platform said coldly, "You came with murderous intent. If the Heavenly King War is initiated, Earth will be destroyed immediately. At such close range, the lower world cannot bear the power of the Heavenly King."

Seeing that the name of the Celestial Venerable could not suppress Li Yi, he then resorted to another method of threat.

“You’re right. The space in this world is too fragile and can be easily shattered. Moreover, the power of the Heavenly King is enough to shatter the starry sky and destroy stars. It’s true that a mere Earth can only block a portion of its residual power.”

Li Yi did not refute, but admitted that what the man said was true. However, his killing intent intensified: "But you have to be able to affect the Earth first. I'll send you on your way with one blow. Let's see how you defy the heavens then?"

Say it.

He roared, and starlight flashed around him. In an instant, he set up a great formation, held the Blood God Sword, and enhanced it with five-colored divine light, unleashing a killing move.

Divine power can open the heavens!
"The Mysterious Gate of Heavenly Spheres? The Celestial Royal Family?"

The thin figure on the high platform felt this power and was immediately terrified. He thought that Li Yi was just an ordinary peak Heavenly King. Even if he was very strong, he was still not afraid. But he never expected that Li Yi's identity was that of a Heavenly God Royal Family.

Because the Celestial Race also has a Celestial Venerable in charge.

No wonder he wasn't afraid of my threats. If the Celestial Venerable behind me wanted to cause trouble for this person, the Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Clan would definitely take action as well.

After all, this is a member of royalty.

"Then let's let our strength speak for itself." This gaunt figure did not sit idly by and wait for death. He directly used the power sealed within his body and instantly recovered to his peak condition.

A terrifying power of the Heavenly King swept across the sky, and then a Heavenly King weapon instantly appeared, its cold light illuminating the space. Wherever it passed, space was obliterated, clearly a terrifying killing move.

Facing the Celestial Royal Family, he dared not be careless in the slightest. If he did not fight with all his might, he would most likely be killed.

With the two impacts, the Crystal Palace on the moon was instantly obliterated and disappeared, and even the entire moon shattered, unable to withstand the impact of the Uranus's power.

However, the remaining power was instantly annihilated by a five-colored divine light.

Li Yi's attack was truly like the creation of heaven and earth, instantly overpowering the opponent's star-illuminating cold light and striking the mysterious Heavenly King squarely.

With a single strike, the opponent's body was cleaved in two, the divine power mixed with five-colored divine light engulfing everything about the opponent.

I intended to send him on his way.

But unexpectedly, deep within the primordial spirit of this mysterious Heavenly King, an incomparably dazzling radiance bloomed—an immortal radiance.

This radiance protected one of the Heavenly King's primordial spirits, making him immortal.

"The Heavenly King of the Celestial Clan is truly powerful. He could destroy me with a single blow. However, you cannot kill me. My body is blessed by the Heavenly Venerable. Even if my physical body is destroyed, my primordial spirit will not perish." The mysterious Heavenly King roared, "I will remember this debt. When we meet again in the Heavenly Realm, I will settle it myself."

"Blessed by the Heavenly Venerable, the primordial spirit is immortal?" Li Yi stood in the starry sky, sword in hand, staring at the immortal radiance, his killing intent undiminished: "I want to see if it is truly immortal."

Then he reached out and grabbed at the air, and a purple bolt of lightning gathered in his hand.

Then the power of creation blessed it.

The originally purple lightning also underwent some kind of change, and now it also shone with brilliance, like the imperial light, but even more special than the imperial light.

"die."

Li Yi raised his hand and hurled the lightning bolt, instantly shattering the starry sky before it struck the immortal radiance.

Two forces collide.

Unexpectedly, this purple lightning bolt actually cleaved through the immortal radiance and struck the primordial spirit of the mysterious Heavenly King.

"This is impossible!" A voice filled with terror and disbelief echoed. This Heavenly King never dreamed that even the Heavenly Venerable's blessing could be shattered.

As lightning streaked across the starry sky and disappeared into the ends of the universe, the last vestige of the Heavenly King's primordial spirit also dissipated, and he perished completely.

Li Yi scanned the area several times to make sure there were no problems before he lowered his guard.

This Heavenly King has an extraordinary background. If he is not killed today, he will surely become a major threat in the future, after all, there is a mysterious Heavenly Venerable standing behind him.

Although we don't know what that Celestial Venerable is planning on Earth, it's definitely not for anything good. So even if it costs us a lot of our creative power, we must send him on his way.

After resolving the issue, Li Yi could feel that the spiritual energy of this world had been completely restored, and there was no longer any pollution. Although this had cost him a moon, it didn't matter.

He then took out a star core, channeled his divine power, retrieved a meteorite from the starry sky, kneaded it into a new moon, placed it in its original position, and allowed it to continue to rotate.

As Earthlings, life without the moon would be incomplete.

After dealing with this matter, Li Yi did not linger in the starry sky. Instead, he turned around, took a step, and instantly disappeared, returning directly to Earth.

I'll keep this in mind for now, and when I have the power in the future, I'll slowly find out the truth.

And with Li Yi's disappearance.

soon.

Several intelligent warships then flew out of Earth and returned to space.

The warships deployed numerous intelligent satellites, resuming surveillance of the moon.

"A terrifying battle just broke out. Sure enough, Li Yi fought with the dangerous entity inside the Crystal Palace. In an instant, the moon disappeared. But what's going on now? The moon has returned to normal?"

As the surveillance footage was restored, many staff members and several senior executives in a monitoring room on Earth were stunned when they saw the newly restored images.

The starry sky has returned to calm, but the energy detector can still detect unimaginable energy fluctuations, and all the satellites in space were annihilated in that instant.

"No, that's not right. This isn't the same moon as before. It's a new moon. Although it's the same size, the energy fluctuations are clearly different. This moon seems like a strange object, constantly radiating pure and terrifying cosmic energy."

"Did Li Yi make a new one after he destroyed the moon? Even though it's fake, it's much better than the original one. Where is Li Yi? Where is he now? Can you pinpoint his location?"

"It seems he has returned to Tianchang City. The AI ​​in Tianchang City sent him a message."

"Li Yi is completely fine, which means the pollution crisis has been completely resolved?"

After discussions among the higher-ups, a very good result was finally reached: Li Yi successfully averted the disaster, although it was unknown what was inside the Crystal Palace.

But it doesn't matter now. Everything has been completely destroyed. Whatever secrets or hidden dangers were there, they have all vanished.

After Li Yi returned to Tianchang City.

Several years later.

Tianchang City hasn't changed much from before, except that it's more populated and there are more cultivators. However, it will probably take a long time to recover to the state it was before Tianqing.

He arrived at the summit of Daoting Mountain in one step, then took out a Heavenly King Palace, casually tossed it aside, and placed the Heavenly King Palace on the mountaintop.

A gate, nine zhang high and five zhang wide, stood before us.

The door opens.

The spiritual energy within the Heavenly King Palace instantly burst forth. This spiritual energy from the Heavenly Realm was far superior to that of the lower realm, and it contained the power of the Heavenly Realm, capable of cleansing the cultivator's body and soul, allowing them to progress rapidly.

Now that Li Yi has returned, he naturally needs to take care of his hometown.

"An unusual spiritual energy has appeared. What's going on? Has another interdimensional gate opened?"

"Something's not right. This immense spiritual energy is coming from the top of the Dao Court. Wait, why is there a new gate there? What a terrifying aura! Although the gate isn't large, it exudes a power that can crush the heavens and the earth."

"It's Taiyi, Taiyi has appeared."

The cultivators in the Dao Court quickly noticed the changes in the vicinity, and then, to their astonishment, they found Li Yi's figure.

Many people were excited to see Li Yi return.

The cultivators in the Three Flowers Realm here have all received Li Yi's kindness, and many of those who have become his disciples come from all over the world and from Tianchang City. They all have intricate connections with Li Yi, whether directly or indirectly. Some are from the same school, while others have had their lives saved.

soon.

A surge of brilliant light appeared as many cultivators flew toward the summit of the Dao Court, coming to pay their respects to Li Yi.

Meanwhile, news of Li Yi's return spread like wildfire.
