CHAPTER 823: CHAPTER 603: DEMON GOD REALM DEFENSE LINE

Li Yi was not shy about accepting the elixirs given by Nun Liu. He directly took these three Three Treasures Pills, even though the pills refined by Tu Daoist were of subpar materials, they were abundant and satisfying.

Li Yi really needed these pills at the moment.

Just as the two were conversing.

Suddenly.

In broad daylight, a clear thunderclap resounded in the sky, its momentum immense, causing the entire building to seemingly shake.

This kind of commotion made Li Yi pause for a moment. Then he instinctively looked out the window.

"What’s that noise? A sudden thunder?" When Li Yi looked outside, he saw no change in the sky, clearly indicating that this thunder came abruptly, not naturally formed.

Most likely, some powerful existence was using divine power to summon this lightning.

Nun Liu said, "There’s a mythical creature lurking near Tianchang City. No one knows where that mythical creature came from, but I believe it doesn’t belong to the Great Demons of the Demon God Realm. I’ve seen a Great Demon break through three hundred miles of defense line to reach Tianchang City, only to be intercepted and killed by that mythical creature."

"The Three Treasures Pills just now were made from the body of that Great Demon. Oh, your intelligent computer Lan Ji should have records on this. That mythical creature is called Garuda, said in legend to consume dragons."

Garuda?

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately recalled.

It was a night filled with thunder and lightning when a rift tore across the sky. Garuda crossed over and arrived on Earth. Since then, it has remained around Tianchang City.

It even engaged in battle with the mythical creature Fei and emerged victorious. Eventually, Fei, due to severe injuries, was seized upon by experts from the Golden Academy.

"Garuda can actually take down a Great Demon? The strength of a mythical creature shouldn’t be that powerful, right?" Li Yi questioned further.

Nun Liu replied, "Mythical creatures have limitless potential. Upon coming to Earth, this Garuda probably also engaged in cultivation, so its strength has been constantly increasing. However, the Great Demon it defeated was also injured; it likely took a hit from an expert while breaking through the defense line."

"Will that Garuda attack the people of Tianchang City?" Li Yi asked.

"So far, it has not been seen attacking ordinary people. It seems very aloof, only picking strong opponents to engage. It isn’t interested in weaker evolvers," Nun Liu replied.

Li Yi said, "If it doesn’t attack ordinary people, then there’s no need to worry about it. Sometimes it even helps fend off Great Demons, which is a good thing."

"Indeed, before, Xuan Yuezi and Tu Daoist had discussed whether to remove this Garuda, but in the end, Xuan Yuezi chose to let it be," Nun Liu said.

"Speaking of Xuan Yuezi, I have something I need to find Xuan Yuezi for. Do you know where she is now, Senior?" Li Yi asked.

Nun Liu replied, "In the Demon God Realm. That bald one is collecting materials everywhere using the Yin Yang Creation and Transformation Tripod to refine Dao Artifacts. The Great Demons of the Demon God Realm are the best refining materials. If Taiyi wants to find Xuan Yuezi, I recommend notifying her to come to Tianchang City. Heading there would be dangerous if a Great Demon attacks."

"It shouldn’t be that unlucky. I’m not going into the Demon God Realm, just to the defense line, and then find someone to inform Xuan Yuezi," Li Yi said.

"That does seem safer," Nun Liu nodded.

Li Yi then asked about his mentor Zhao Ge’s situation.

Nun Liu informed Li Yi that Zhao Ge, Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, and Shou Hou joined the Investigation Bureau, and both Rong Niang and Zhao Qian became her disciples to study cultivation and the alchemy technique.

After learning about their situation, Li Yi felt relieved.

He didn’t stay long in Tianchang City and prepared to head to the Demon God Realm’s defense line to check out the situation and find Xuan Yuezi to discuss matters of incense.

Soon.

A golden Xiangyun soared up from the rooftop of the building.

After Lan Ji pinpointed the direction, Li Yi immediately turned into a golden light and vanished into the distant horizon.

The distance of three hundred miles was not far.

Soon.

Li Yi arrived at the junction of the Demon God Realm and Earth, where space overlapped and dimensions intertwined. The two worlds seemed no longer separate; if not for the change in nature’s spiritual energy in the air, you wouldn’t notice there were two worlds here.

Moreover, he immediately spotted Earth’s defense line.

The sky was filled with a variety of high-tech warning devices, and the ground was lined with rows of high-energy beam cannons. These beam cannons were specially developed, with enhanced power, capable of instantly killing any evolver in the Spirit Power Realm.

Unfortunately, the downside was that these beam cannons took too long to charge, were limited in number, and could easily be dodged by experts, making them not very practical for regular use. They were best suited for covering fire during a massive Demon God Realm invasion.

In peacetime, these beam cannons were rarely used.

Ultimately, maintaining this defense line relied on people, on powerful evolvers.

As soon as Li Yi approached the line, an airborne warning device flew towards him. This spherical device, hovering through anti-gravity, had a camera-like feature continuously scanning him.

"Identity confirmed, Li Yi of Golden Academy, welcome to the Demon God Realm defense line."

The device issued a voice and then flew away.

Clearly, through intelligent computers linked to databases everywhere, the records of every visitor could be checked clearly. If a stranger approached, an alarm would sound immediately.

"Not only does Golden Academy have experts present; it seems there are also traces of the military..." At this time, Li Yi saw teams of experts in camouflage uniforms walking past.

Their strength wasn’t weak, and they exhibited strong discipline.

Obviously, in this situation involving an interdimensional war, powerful martial artists from the military have also been deployed. They will not allow Earth to be invaded by the Demon God Realm, thus they have established a defense line to fend off the attacks of the Great Demon.

Beyond the defense line, devastation is everywhere: the earth is cracked, there are countless craters, in some places magma erupts, in others, lake water backflows. In the air, there are all kinds of lightning and unceasing gusts of wind. Many powers left over on the battlefield linger, constantly affecting the celestial phenomena.

With just a brief glance, Li Yi could feel how brutal the battles here have been recently.

He continued to fly towards the defense line.

At this moment, Li Yi also discovered that the ground near the defense line was somewhat different, not like soil, but like steel, extremely hard and difficult to destroy, with the power of Tao Skills embedded within.

Clearly, this was the doing of a master at the Tri-Floral Realm.

He kept recalling but didn’t know which Tao Skill could turn such a large area of ground into unbreakable steel.

Li Yi landed on the ground, trying to give it a light stomp.

Even with his Dragon and Tiger Power, he only left a few deep footprints on it and did not shake this piece of ground.

This surprised him greatly. One must know that his current strength is not weak, and yet he can’t shake it, let alone those demon beasts from the Demon God Realm.

"This is a spell performed by someone named Qian Daoist, called ’Earth to Steel,’ which can turn soft soil into indestructible steel. Otherwise, after one battle after another, this several hundred miles radius would have long been shattered, and Tianchang City would have inevitably been affected and turned into ruins."

Suddenly, a figure seemed to have noticed Li Yi, flying from the direction of the defense line and then stopping mid-air.

Li Yi looked up only to see a young man standing with his hands behind his back, with a slight smile on his face.

"Li Yi, long time no see, indeed you came here." This man was none other than Bai Sinan, with whom Li Yi had interacted.

"Bai Sinan, is it you? You are also here?" Li Yi was a bit surprised.

Bai Sinan said, "It’s not just me; all renowned experts from the Golden Academy have come. However, there’s no other choice. If we don’t repel the invasion of the Demon God Realm, Earth is finished. Although we could cross realms and escape, some things are hard to let go of."

"True, those who wanted to run have already run; nobody would stay here on Earth to court death," Li Yi said.

"Li Yi, although you’ve crossed realms many times, I know you’re not the type to abandon everything and run away. You must want to do something; otherwise, you wouldn’t have come here." Bai Sinan continued, "So what do you think about forming a team? The forces from the Demon God Realm have been growing more aggressive recently. Soloing is very dangerous; only a sufficient number of experts joining forces can hold off their attacks."

"I’ll have to understand the situation first, so let’s hold off on forming a team for now." Li Yi gently shook his head.

"Alright then," Bai Sinan nodded slightly, not upset about being refused.

But just as the two were chatting, suddenly

the alarms in the distance blared out, like a war horn suddenly being blown. Although it was unclear what was happening, the sound instinctively let one know that another battle seemed about to erupt.

And as the alarm sounded, beams of light flew over from the direction of the Demon God Realm, extremely fast, arriving in almost no time.

"Such speed, this is not good, it’s a master at the Sky Demon level from the Demon God Realm," Bai Sinan’s face changed suddenly upon seeing this scene.

Li Yi asked, "How does it compare with the demon beast we took down last time with Du Bai Zhi?"

"The one we took down last time was just an Earth Demon, this time it’s a Sky Demon, much stronger than the three-headed Great Demon we faced before. Beyond that, it requires someone as powerful as Li Yue or Wu Yong to confront." Bai Sinan explained.

Hearing this, Li Yi immediately understood.

The so-called Sky Demon is second only to the Great Demon, and the Great Demon is equivalent to a Tri-Floral Realm expert, hence the strength of the Sky Demon should be around the Chao Yuan Realm.

And as the two were speaking

the group of Sky Demons from the Demon God Realm had already made their move, recklessly unleashing their demonic power, delivering an immensely powerful strike, easily destroying the high-energy beam cannon set up on the defense line, and sweeping away the alarms set in the sky as well.

Some attacks even directly blasted towards the camp.

The camp hit by demonic power exploded instantly, faint screams echoed, clearly showing that some evolvers were affected, dying tragically on the spot.

"Courting death!"

Yet at this moment, an angry roar came from the camp, then multicolored radiance intertwined above the sky, transforming into a giant net, instantly enveloping these Sky Demons.

In an instant.

Four or five Sky Demons were captured, then the multicolored radiance tried to erase these Sky Demons’ lives.

But at this moment, one of the Sky Demons suddenly roared towards the heavens, its momentum suddenly soared to its peak, unexpectedly surpassing the Sky Demon level, reaching the realm of a Great Demon, easily tearing open the multicolored net, and escorting the other Sky Demons away.

"Not good, a Great Demon concealed its strength and blended in with this group of Sky Demons," Bai Sinan was shocked to see this scene.

It was due to being caught off guard that some Sky Demons had already crossed the defense line flying towards this side.

Wu Yong, stationed at the camp, couldn’t deal with these fish who slipped through the net. He had to repel this Great Demon, or it would be endlessly troublesome.

"Quick, stop these Sky Demons, don’t let them enter Earth."

"Destroy all these Sky Demons."

Urgent shouts rang out, some Spirit God Realm evolvers were attempting to stop them, but their strength simply couldn’t block the Sky Demons.

Only powerful individuals who have survived the Spirit Tribulation might have the qualifications to contend.
