CHAPTER 931: CHAPTER 701: CHAOS AND CONFLICT

Whether it is the Demon God Realm or the Xuanxian Continent, these two worlds are filled with powerful beings, and both are directly connected to Earth, requiring no need to open a Cross-border Gate to move freely.

This situation poses the greatest threat to Earth from these two worlds.

The Demon God Realm, needless to say, has long had ambitions to invade Earth, only that last time only the Sky Moon Demon King attempted to attack Earth, so the war wasn’t as brutal, and under the intervention of the cultivation expert Xuan Yuezi, at the peak of the Three Flowers Realm, they were defeated.

But now, Hu Fei says that this time three Demon Kings from the Demon God Realm have joined forces to invade Earth.

This crisis is enormous.

Three Demon Kings, along with their subordinate Great Demons and Sky Demons, are enough to instantly shatter all the top Evolvers on Earth, leaving no resistance, not to mention that the Xuanxian Continent is also preparing to take root on Earth.

And these two crises are just the ones on the surface.

The expansion of the Dark World, the increase in experts crossing over, frequent natural disasters... Li Yi can even imagine, Earth is likely to have already become a battlefield for all realms.

"Is Earth really this chaotic now?" Zhao Fangji was startled for a moment, then asked, "Are we still going back? Maybe it’s better to stay in the Barbaric World, we’re at least okay here."

"Actually, I also have this thought, what do you guys think?" Hu Fei said with a bitter smile.

Although the Barbaric World is dangerous, there is at least order, not chaos, and as long as you have money to stay in a large city, you don’t need to worry about your life, and this world is filled with Spiritual Energy, suitable for cultivation.

Living here for ten or eight years, becoming powerful in the future, returning with glory is not impossible.

But Hu Fei wanted to come to the Barbaric World only with companions, otherwise fighting alone, it would be difficult to make a significant impact, not to mention being caught and enslaved with no one to rescue himself.

It was precisely because of this that he wanted to stay here and try his luck, to see if he could meet Li Yi and others.

Li Yi, however, said, "I still have a lot of friends and family in Tianchang City, can’t abandon them, planning to go back and see, and with my current strength, I can handle any danger. If you want to stay in the Barbaric World, that works too, turn back to Red Gold Mountain, it’s still safe there at the moment, I’ve left quite a few experts to guard."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to think again.

At present, Jiang Mingtian is inclined to return to Earth because he has attachments there and is eager to go back and check.

Whereas Zhao Fangji and Hu Fei, having fewer attachments, are not eager to return to the chaotic Earth but prefer to stay long-term in the Barbaric World.

After a round of further discussion.

Ultimately, Hu Fei and Zhao Fangji decided to first return to Earth to handle some personal matters, then immediately return to the Barbaric World to reside on Red Gold Mountain, not staying on Earth.

"You can head to Red Gold Mountain anytime, since everyone has different goals, let’s each take our course now." Li Yi, feeling somewhat anxious, didn’t want to waste time and decided to act independently.

Jiang Mingtian also said, "I need to go home and take a look too, let’s meet again at Red Gold Mountain when there’s a chance."

"Alright."

After a brief encounter, they quickly went their separate ways.

Li Yi disappeared first, as his Cloud-Riding Technique was incredibly fast, and with his current mana operating this Dao Skill, he could traverse a thousand miles in no time. Jiang Mingtian wasn’t far behind; riding his Mountain Lord-level Exotic Beast Qiongqi, once it spread its wings and soared, it was faster by many multiples compared to a Thunderbolt Fighter.

Very soon.

The two left the Barbaric World and returned to Earth.

At this moment, whether Li Yi or Jiang Mingtian both paused.

Because they saw that Tianning City, not far from the cross-node, had now completely turned into ruins, seemingly leveled by an incredible force within a day.

One must know it was a prosperous metropolis, with a large population.

Even under the Sky Tipping event, Tianning City’s order was maintained.

But now.

Such a city has disappeared like this.

The hope could only be that the inhabitants had been evacuated before the city’s destruction.

Though this is what they thought.

Li Yi did not stop; he used the Cloud-Riding Technique to head straight to Tianchang City, while Jiang Mingtian rode the Exotic Beast Qiongqi back to the Tianhe District, both with a heavy heart, fearing the cities might have already turned into ruins upon arrival.

"Before going to the Barbaric World, in Tianchang City, I had Nun Liu and Qian Daoist staying behind, not to mention Tu Daoist, Wu the Taoist, and Feiyunzi, three great cultivation experts who would surely help out in key moments. Five cultivation experts guarding a city shouldn’t be difficult, right?"

Li Yi mused to himself.

However, he was not too confident.

Because even the strongest of the five cultivation experts was only in the Two Flowers Realm, at best able to fight against several Great Demons.

But Tianchang City is close to the Demon God Realm, if three Demon Kings jointly invade Earth, then Tianchang City will be the first to suffer disaster, and even self-protection for the five cultivation experts would be difficult in such a disaster, let alone guarding a city.

While riding the clouds.

Li Yi observed Earth’s changes.

He found that some places already showed signs of invasion, for instance, a once-famous tourist spot, now erected with a palace, a Mountain Protection Array, with cultivators from the Xuanxian World flying around on swords, vigilant against enemy incursions.

Evidently, this is a stronghold of the Xuanxian Continent.

Though the territory looked small, people from the Xuanxian Continent will construct a Transmission Array, and once in battle, who knows how many experts will pop out.

Li Yi’s gaze shifted slightly; he wouldn’t tolerate these Xuanxian Continent people. The speed of the Xiangyun under his feet suddenly slowed, then the mana from his sixty acupoints surged, and then he performed the Daoist Skill, opening his mouth to exhale.

Call Wind!

Suddenly, gales howled across heavens and earth, the sky darkened, and because of the overly abundant mana, the storm instantly uprooted mountains and flipped the earth, its terrifying power unleashed directly toward this stronghold.

"What?"

The patrolling cultivators watched the scene unfold, their eyes suddenly narrowing, their expressions instantly terrifying.

This level of attack exceeded even Transcendance Tribulation Stage experts; it was, at least, at the Mahayana stage.

Fortunately, the formation had long been activated, and upon sensing such a level of attack, it suddenly burst into a dazzling brilliance.

The surrounding mountains were uprooted, yet this peak alone was protected by the formation amidst the storm, undamaged but teetering precariously as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

The nearby patrolling cultivators were blown by the storm, their bodies instantly cracking, their primordial spirits destroyed, without even a chance to escape.

"Attacking our sect’s base? Courting death." At the same time, a loud shout erupted from within the grand array.

A middle-aged man with long whiskers appeared, holding the Soul Destruction Bell in his hand and stepping on the Heavenly Element Shield, his hair bristling with anger, emitting an astonishing aura, one that was not much weaker than Li Yi.

"It’s Elder Yuan Guang of the Mahayana stage, we’re saved."

The other cultivators inside the grand array sighed in relief at the sight of this middle-aged man’s appearance. They truly hadn’t expected that on such a chaotic Earth, some expert would dare to attack the sect’s base, truly seeking death.

Don’t they know that behind every cultivation sect stationed on Earth stands a Mahayana expert?

Who would dare to come to Earth and establish a realm without any skill?

"A Mahayana stage expert?" Li Yi’s gaze slightly shifted. He had once compared, and found that Mahayana stage cultivators on the Xuanxian Continent should be about the same as those in the Tri-Floral Realm, One-Flower, and Two-Flower stages.

However, this Mahayana expert was clearly quite powerful, wielding two top-tier treasures, making his combat strength formidable.

But.

Li Yi merely drew out the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear from the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet. Infused with mana, the Red Gold Spear instantly glowed with an awe-inspiring divine light.

"A Mahayana stage is still not enough for me; perish."

He shouted, mana surged tumultuously from his acupoints, and the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear in his hand radiated blinding divine light, then, wielding the divine power of Eight Dragons and Eight Tigers, he hurled it.

A top-tier divine weapon like the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear now fully showcased its astounding might in Li Yi’s hands.

Everywhere its brilliance shone, the sky and earth were torn apart.

The enemy’s proud Mountain Protection Array was as fragile as paper, split open in an instant, and under the terrifying illumination of the divine light, the entire mountain was pierced through. Cultivators caught in the light screamed miserably, perishing instantly at the scene.

"Damn." Elder Yuan Guang, the Mahayana expert, suddenly narrowed his eyes, feeling his whole body turning rigid with fear.

What kind of monster had he encountered?

But now was not the time to consider other matters. Elder Yuan Guang hurled the top-tier treasure, the Soul Destruction Bell, trying to intercept this terrifying strike, while positioning the Heavenly Element Shield in front of him, channeling all his mana outward.

Yet the next moment, a horrifying sight unfolded.

The Soul Destruction Bell, flung out as a top-tier treasure, exploded upon contact with the spear, scattering into countless fragments, and next, the spear was already at his front.

The Heavenly Element Shield shattered again, unable to block the attack for even a moment.

"You’ve got to be kidding me." Elder Yuan Guang’s eyes were wide with terror, issuing a horrified scream.

The next moment, the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear broke through his protective magic, pierced his body, and after destroying the sect’s base behind him, nailed him to a distant piece of land.

"Wah!" Blood spurted, the Mahayana expert’s body full of cracks; even his primordial spirit suffered a terrifying blow, dissipating at an astonishing speed.

It only took a single strike.

This Mahayana cultivator’s life was already at its end.

"What caliber of weapon is this, so terrifying...?" Elder Yuan Guang looked at the spear pinning him to the ground, trembling, realizing that he was about to die.

He looked up to the sky.

Above a Xiangyun, he saw a young man clad in Red Gold Purple Feather Armor, surrounded by Five-Colored Qi, adorned with thunder and lightning, his clenched fist echoing like a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s howl. His aura was terrifying, unlike a mere mortal, akin to a divine being descending.

This spear was the man’s divine armament.

"We hold no grudges, why such animosity?" Elder Yuan Guang asked, gritting his teeth and holding onto his last breath.

Li Yi didn’t reply, merely staring at him coldly.

Elder Yuan Guang pleaded, "I’m already a dying man; could you spare me a wisp of primordial spirit power for reincarnation?"

Li Yi coldly laughed, "Your Xuanxian world’s cultivators can’t suppress your ambition anymore, reaching your hand to Earth? Truly thinking Earth lacks experts? Still dreaming of reincarnation, keep dreaming."

As he spoke, he nonchalantly waved, and silver lightning bolts rained down from the void, continuously striking the dying Mahayana cultivation expert.

"Earth’s Evolvers..." At this moment, Elder Yuan Guang understood.

Animosity between the two realms was irreconcilable, skirmishing was a common occurrence, nothing unusual.

But.

Since when were there such level experts on Earth?

However, Li Yi didn’t answer his query; silver lightning engulfed everything of him, shattering the corpse into several pieces, leaving no trace, as for the primordial spirit, it was utterly annihilated.

Li Yi didn’t even care to know which sect from the Xuanxian Continent the person he had just killed belonged to, viewing it merely as casually dealing with an enemy.

After completing the act, he pulled up the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear, turned around, and rode the clouds away.
