CHAPTER 963: CHAPTER 732: ARRIVAL

Elder Xuan Yang, who had escaped from the battlefield, was not in a good state. Although he had survived, his body had nearly been pierced by that Red Gold Arrow; even without direct contact, the Red Gold Divine Light was enough to cause severe injuries.

"Wow!"

Blood mixed with specks of Red Gold shines almost erupted from his mouth.

The strength of that arrow had permeated throughout his body, and if he didn’t promptly dispel it, the consequences would be more than just injuries; his realm might even decline.

"Elder Xuan Yang, what’s wrong with you? Are you alright?"

"Elder Xuan Yang, you’re injured."

Upon returning to his cave abode, several Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators surrounded him, shocked by Elder Xuan Yang’s appearance.

They all remembered that Elder Xuan Yang had just instantaneously teleported to intercept the Evolver from Earth, yet now he had returned in such a plight.

"I suffered a great loss this time; the opponent’s strength is exceedingly powerful and possesses a Supreme Treasure with killing intent..." Elder Xuan Yang’s face was exceptionally grim. "Remember, never provoke this person on the battlefield. A Mahayana Sword Cultivator has already been slain by him. If you encounter him, don’t blame me for not assisting."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, projecting Li Yi’s image before them.

It was to remind everyone to be particularly cautious of this person.

As for Ye Jingtian, although he was strong, Elder Xuan Yang did not consider him a threat, so he didn’t elaborate.

"What? This person actually killed a Mahayana Sword Cultivator? Has the strength of Earth’s young generation of Evolvers reached such formidable levels?"

The group was again shocked and memorized Li Yi’s appearance deeply.

However, someone soon felt something was amiss and said immediately, "Elder Xuan Yang, I seem to have some impression of this person. I think he’s called Li Yi. A few years ago, when the Xuanxian World connected with Earth’s world, wasn’t a team sent to Earth for negotiations? They ended up fighting, and that entire team was killed."

"And the mastermind was this Li Yi; he’s still wanted by the Xuanxian Continent."

With this reminder,

the other cultivators also began to react.

Being experts at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, they rarely paid attention to such minor matters. After all, a warrant for an Earth-based Evolver was of little interest to them; the rewards were limited, and there were no Immortal Artifacts, so it was forgotten.

"This is the same Li Yi from a few years ago? How has he advanced so quickly to now be able to kill a Mahayana Sword Cultivator?" Others found it unbelievable.

A few years for cultivators might just be one secluded retreat, or even less.

Yet this person had leaped to surpass the Mahayana Realm.

Is this cultivation?

Using Earth’s terms, this is like hacking.

However, upon closer thought, Li Yi’s progress is remarkable, but Earth’s newly emerging experts’ strength is equally remarkable, paralleling Divinity Transformation and Transcendance Tribulation stages in just a few short years.

The group fell silent.

Because they realized a critical issue.

That is, the potential of Earth’s Evolvers, cultivating various methods, was beginning to flourish, while cultivators, though powerful, had accumulated for decades, even centuries, yet Evolvers from Earth consistently produced experts.

In only a few years, they could match your decades, or even centuries, of rigorous practice.

In another decade or so, roles in offense and defense might switch.

"No wonder True Immortals want to join forces with the Demon God Realm to extinguish Earth’s Evolvers." At this moment, the group began to understand why major factions of the Xuanxian Continent would unite to fully invade Earth.

If they don’t act now to eliminate these Evolvers, in the future, when Earth becomes strong, the Xuanxian Continent might be the one being invaded.

This potential is too terrifying, it must be exterminated early.

"Stay low-key for the next few days, I must go and heal. If cross-realm battlefields open again, be careful on your own." Yet Elder Xuan Yang had no mind to deal with these matters, as the remaining Red Gold Divine Light within him tormented him greatly.

He must heal quickly.

So he just gave a few instructions, then immediately returned to his cave abode for seclusion and recovery.

Meanwhile,

Li Yi and Ye Jingtian also arrived at the Earth Defense Line.

What they saw was a Black Great Wall, winding like a dragon, encircling the vast land, composed of nano-metal components, with many Grand Arrays engraved upon it.

Some of the arrays gave Li Yi a familiar feeling; they weren’t the Grand Arrays of the Xuanxian Continent but reminiscent of the arrays in the End of Dharma Cultivation World, seemingly the handiwork of Tu Daoist.

Moreover, there were traces like Energy Protective Shields.

Beyond the Black Great Wall, the land was shattered, nothing existed, battle scars were everywhere, and some sections of the Black Great Wall were severely damaged, with special materials unable to restore the areas.

"Li Yi, come with me." At this moment, Ye Jingtian was leading the way, proactively flying towards the monitor near the Black Great Wall.

Upon sensing someone approaching, the monitor fluttered its wings and flew over, immediately scanning the two individuals.

Because of the smart brain, Earth’s database is identical, and it quickly confirmed the identities of Li Yi and Ye Jingtian, so the monitor of the Black Great Wall did not light up the alarm but instead made way proactively.

"The Black Great Wall is just the outermost circle, the real defense base is still ahead." Ye Jingtian said: "Under normal circumstances, Great Demons and cultivators won’t easily cross over this Black Great Wall, or they’ll be attacked jointly by the experts from Earth."

"Of course, it doesn’t exclude some who can’t suppress their loneliness, sneaking across the Black Great Wall to ambush and retaliate."

"In short, once you’re here, you could be attacked anytime, anywhere, even while sleeping, a flying sword might attack from a thousand miles away, so there’s no absolutely safe place here."

Ye Jingtian spoke solemnly at this point.

Continuing to fly forward.

At this point, Li Yi saw some buildings where evolvers lived, simple Cultivation Houses; he could sense evolvers cultivating inside, absorbing cosmic energy.

Moreover, he saw some evolvers in ragged battle armor sitting on rocks, seemingly contemplating the future.

The more they moved forward, the more buildings appeared.

Of course, many buildings were also damaged, considering the special nature of the battlefield, they didn’t bother to repair them, as evolvers weren’t picky about living environments, resting wherever they lay.

Soon.

Li Yi felt himself entering an energy field.

"The energy field of a miracle." He immediately discerned, realizing someone placed a miracle inside the defense line, providing abundant cosmic energy to the evolvers.

And there were many of such energy fields.

With a casual perception, there were at least twenty or thirty.

Evidently, to win this realm war, Earth had almost overturned all its trump cards.

"Someone is coming to greet us." Suddenly, Ye Jingtian halted in mid-air and then said.

Li Yi looked in a direction.

A figure flew over from a building, and before arriving, a hearty laugh was heard: "Haha, Ye Jingtian, I knew you’d eventually come to the battlefield, so have you written your will, prepared to face death?"

"Zhao Wuling, you’re still alive? Didn’t you say the battle situation was dire last time?" Ye Jingtian frowned.

"My luck has always been good; I wouldn’t easily die here." The man named Zhao Wuling was tall, with short red hair because of injecting genetic potion.

Moreover, ancient texts were engraved on his body, which gleamed like runes, possessing some powerful force.

Evidently, besides cultivating evolution methods and genetic methods, he also mastered a mysterious magic door.

His strength wasn’t simple, comparable to an ordinary Mahayana realm expert.

"Is this person also here to support the defense line?" Zhao Wuling then looked at Li Yi, his smile slightly restrained, revealing some seriousness.

A strong person.

And frighteningly strong.

This was Zhao Wuling’s first impression of Li Yi, merely approaching made one’s hair stand on end, as if confronting not a person but a true dragon from the wilderness, with the power to shake mountains and rivers with a gesture.

"His name is Li Yi, quite powerful, thanks to him for killing a Mahayana cultivator this time; otherwise, I might have died midway." Ye Jingtian introduced seriously.

No need to say much, just focus on the key point that Li Yi has the strength to kill a Mahayana realm.

"Li Yi? I seem to have heard some experts from the Golden Academy mention him; isn’t he the one who earned merit at the Demon God Realm defense line?" Zhao Wuling recalled and praised: "Indeed, a top-notch expert, Li Yi, welcome to the Earth Defense Line. With your support, along with Ye Jingtian, the pressure in the upcoming realm battlefield will be considerably reduced."

He spoke politely, not only because Li Yi was strong but also because he had earned merit, not a coward fleeing across realms.

Here, people like Li Yi were quite respected.

"You’re too kind, I’m just doing my bit." Li Yi said.

"Your speech is quite refined, not learned on Earth, must be from a cross-realm ancient world." Zhao Wuling chuckled.

Ye Jingtian said, "Alright, Zhao Wuling, hurry and arrange things. We’re not here to chat."

"Indeed, come, follow me, let me take you to meet the defense line commander and inform you about recent statuses. Although you’re newcomers, judging by your strength, you’ll soon be on the battlefield. Hope you can defeat a few enemies and delay the invasion speed between realms." Zhao Wuling said.

As he said, he led the two towards a special building.

There was the command center.

Also the gathering place for Earth’s last remaining top-tier combat strength.
