CHAPTER 830: CHAPTER 610: THE DORMANT SKY DEMON

Li Yi personally came to this defensive line and took a look around before realizing just how perilous this place truly was. In the distance, the mountain range relocated by the powerful beings from the Demon God Realm was teeming with countless demon beasts of all sizes.

Even as Li Yi and Su Mu slowly retreated, there were still a dozen dangerous gazes watching them.

As soon as they dared to step out of line, they would be besieged by a dozen Sky Demons.

Although Li Yi was not weak, he did not have the confidence to deal with a dozen Sky Demons at once, especially with Great Demons guarding the area. If a Great Demon equivalent to the Tri-Floral Realm took action, even within the defensive line, he might be killed by a long-range strike.

"This place is indeed dangerous. It’s hard to imagine that this is only a faction of the Sky Moon Demon King’s forces. If all the experts of the Demon God Realm were to come, that would be a real nightmare," Li Yi said.

"Such a situation is impossible. The Demon Kings of the Demon God Realm do not submit to each other and each has their own territory. Unless the Demon God Realm is destroyed, they will never join forces,"

Su Mu said.

Clearly, she had spent some time on the defensive line and had some understanding of the situation in the Demon God Realm.

The Demon God Realm ranks high and low by bloodline and strength.

This results in the demon beasts being loyal to their leaders, but it also means that they will not submit to each other. If the Demon God Realm could unite, there would be no need for this war; they could just surrender and admit defeat.

Suddenly.

While returning to the defensive line, Li Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What’s wrong? Is something happening?" Seeing this, Su Mu immediately became alert.

"Perhaps I was mistaken. Just now, I sensed a faint trace of Demon Qi lingering here, but theoretically, no demon beast should be alive in this area, so I find it a bit strange."

Li Yi looked around. The alert devices were floating everywhere, scanning every inch of the land incessantly for any unusual life signals, and would immediately alert them if anything was found.

But the alert devices were silent, indicating no life nearby.

Su Mu asked further, "Can you pinpoint the general location? If we can confirm the position, we could try probing it to avoid any oversight."

Li Yi thought for a moment and then closed his eyes to carefully sense the surrounding aura.

He wasn’t an Immortal Cultivator, lacked Divine Sense, and couldn’t precisely scan, but he was a cultivator sensitive to the unusual aura between heaven and earth, with Demon Qi being particularly conspicuous, making it hard to miss.

"The Demon Qi has vanished..."

However, just as Li Yi was seriously attuning to the aura of the world, the previously detected Demon Qi vanished without a trace.

This change made Li Yi immediately vigilant.

If it was just a weak sense of Demon Qi, it wouldn’t be odd, as some remains of Great Demons and Sky Demons’ weapon fragments might be lingering on the battlefield, carrying persistent Demon Qi. But its sudden disappearance was obviously suspicious.

Having reached this conclusion.

Li Yi immediately opened his eyes and looked at a direction not far to his right.

The ground was pitted, cracked, and visibly devastated, with no life likely surviving such devastation.

Yet the direction of the Demon Qi was just there.

However, the area was vast, and Li Yi had difficulty pinpointing the exact location.

"Since we can’t find it, let’s probe with a strike."

Without further thought, Li Yi stretched out his palm, summoned mana, and performed a Daoist Skill: "River Flipping!"

With a surge of powerful mana, the already fragmented ground was instantly overpowered by an immense force, flipping the entire land, and the worlds were upturned in that moment.

The once-flat earth now seemed like a towering mountain, leaving a pit as deep as an abyss in the previously stable area.

Originally, it seemed that Li Yi was overthinking, and no demon beasts were present within the defensive line.

But unexpectedly, something occurred after this strike.

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar shattered the stones; a menacing Demon Qi emanated as a tiger-headed humanoid demon creature revealed itself.

"It’s a Sky Demon."

Upon seeing this, Su Mu’s eyes narrowed sharply: "Impossible that a Sky Demon infiltrated inside the defensive line unnoticed."

"It seems my earlier feelings weren’t wrong; there was indeed Demon Qi. I just didn’t expect it to be a Sky Demon. What was it doing infiltrating the defensive line underground?" Li Yi couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Su Mu quickly pondered and then said: "Most likely, it intended to slowly approach the defensive line and seize the chance to smuggle onto Earth. Its patience makes me suspect the Demon God Realm is plotting some scheme."

"Li Yi, since the Sky Demon hasn’t reacted yet, we should retreat for now, not engage here. Being too close to the Demon God Realm, a fight might prompt their reinforcements."

"Retreat? It’s not up to us to leave anymore," Li Yi’s expression turned grave.

Suddenly.

The Sky Demon lurking underground vanished instantly, and a fierce gale arose, sweeping across the world, as a Sword Gang carrying countless Daoists’ might charged menacingly toward Li Yi’s direction.

The strike was overwhelming, filled with killing intent, sending chills down one’s spine.

Su Mu was shocked to see this. Although she was an Evolver in the Spirit God Realm, in terms of strength, she was no match for the Sky Demon. Encountering a Sky Demon meant she could only run away, and must not linger in battle, or she would die in a very miserable way.

"Seeking death."

However, Li Yi suddenly shouted, his voice like rolling thunder, instantly filling the heavens.

Faced with the Sword Gang that came slashing, he was not afraid. Instead, he clenched his fist and went to meet it head-on. In merely an instant, the edge of his fist formed, with four-colored lights dancing on it, extremely radiant.

With a punch thrown.

The terrifying fist light obliterated everything in front of him, making the entire land buzz and tremble.

Then, the two attacks collided together.

Li Yi had previously exchanged blows with another Sky Demon and knew the strength of a Sky Demon. He understood that this strike could only match evenly, but was insufficient to defeat the opponent, so after this punch, he clenched his other fist once more.

Fist edges intertwined, Dragon and Tiger Power swirling.

"Human Evolver, how dare you disrupt my plan. I’ll kill you."

At this moment, the Sky Demon broke through the aftermath of the battle, roared loudly, and lunged to kill with the large saber in hand, attacking once more with countless Dao Traces emanating, releasing overwhelming demonic power.

But before his attack could arrive, Li Yi’s second punch smashed down again.

"What?"

Feeling the fatal crisis, the Sky Demon was shocked and almost instinctively raised his saber in defense.

Boom!

This punch light struck his body, the might was incomparably grand, forcing the Sky Demon to retreat repeatedly, even the Daoism on the saber was dimmed significantly, becoming dull and lackluster.

Seeing the opponent’s declining momentum, golden Xiangyun rose beneath Li Yi’s feet, accompanied by drifting clouds and mist throughout the sky.

He rode the cloud and mist, attacking the Sky Demon again.

Having the experience of previous exchanges, Li Yi clearly improved significantly this time, becoming less passive and instead taking the initiative, responding with powerful attacks to prevent the Sky Demon from having a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, if the opponent’s deadly attacks kept emerging, the one in danger would be himself.

"Damn it."

The Sky Demon felt suppressed by the opponent, became furious, and roared across the mountains, making the sun and moon seem to lose their color, with only terrifying tiger roar echoing across heaven and earth.

Moreover, this tiger roar carried formidable demonic power, just one roar could shatter souls and bodies.

Even Li Yi, suffering this roar, felt dizzy, with intense pain emanating from his soul. But fortunately, his soul was entwined with numerous Incense Fire Belief Power, such soul attacks, though terrifying, did not cause obvious harm to him.

However, Su Mu was unlucky; she couldn’t resist and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, her entire aura weak instantly, unable even to maintain flight, plummeting straight down from high altitude.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi immediately performed Daoist Skill, letting a golden Xiangyun catch the falling Su Mu, then unleashed a surge of Mana, turning Xiangyun into a ray of golden light to escort her away from here, avoiding the Sky Demon’s attacks from causing harm, and muddled losing her life.

After Su Mu was sent away, the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor on Li Yi’s body began to emit rays of Red Cloud Light to shield him, resisting the assault of the tiger roar.

Seizing the opportunity, unwilling to entangle with the opponent too much, he directly took out the Divine Wood Great Bow.

Drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, in one breath.

A Black Gold Arrow instantly vanished.

This scene was also captured by the Sky Demon, his eyes widened in extreme shock; evidently, he recognized this Divine Bow.

Almost instinctively wanting to turn around and flee, but before he could turn, the Black Gold Arrow had already penetrated his skull, with a peculiar force on the Black Gold Arrow able to shatter a Great Demon’s Essence.

Thus, being hit by the arrow, despite the wound appearing small, in reality, the soul was already shattered, life long gone.

"Ah!"

The Sky Demon let out a scream, feeling all his demonic power dissipating, life draining away.

Even if he wished for a death struggle to take down this human Evolver holding the Divine Bow, he could no longer do so, in the end, only able to his eyes wide open, powerlessly tumbling down.

Due to the loss of life, the Sky Demon revealed his true form, a gigantic beast that wasn’t an ordinary tiger, its body covered in purple scales, pondering what kind of mutant beast it was.

"This thing is truly the bane of the Sky Demons, one arrow is lethal." Without a second thought, Li Yi stored the Sky Demon’s corpse inside the Five Elements Bracelet, not even sparing the weapon.

But this scene was also witnessed by the demon beings on the defense line of the Demon God Realm.

"It’s the Divine Bow of Great Demon Feng Yu."

"Shanxiao is dead, killed by the Divine Bow."

"This person is the murderer who killed the Demon King’s daughter, we must reclaim this Divine Bow."

From the distant mountains, roars like beasts screaming echoed.

Then, several figures ignored the warnings of the defense line, transforming into lights and charging straight towards Li Yi.
