The Post Sky Tipping Era

"Senior Sister, surrender. What we pursue through Immortal Cultivation is immortality. If we die here today, everything will be lost."

The Mahayana Realm cultivator Luo Bing spoke calmly.

"Isn't this your reason for betraying the sect? The Immortals are watching this war; aren't you afraid of implicating your friends and family?"

At this moment, a mature woman wearing soft armor and holding a treasure sword glared in anger.

Her name was Fei Xue, also a powerful Mid-Mahayana cultivator and a senior sister to Luo Bing, who was trying to persuade surrender.

However, in the face of impending disaster, as the senior sister, Fei Xue.

"Precisely because I don't want to see you die miserably on this battlefield, I have come to persuade you to surrender. Otherwise, when that Divine Bow is drawn, it will be too late. You have seen Li Yi's strength; even five peak Mahayana cultivators were defeated together. What can we do?" Luo Bing said, "Senior Sister, surrender quickly. Li Yi hasn't given me much time. I don't want to see your soul return to your homeland, your blood spilled in the Otherworld."

Fei Xue gripped her treasure sword tightly, gritting her teeth, and glanced around.

Besides Luo Bing, there was the traitor Master Xuanzhen, two not weak evolvers, and Li Yi, who was sitting in the sky and making people feel hopeless.

With such a lineup surrounding her, death would be instantaneous.

It's a pity she couldn't instant teleport, or she would have had a chance to maneuver.

Seeing the blood still wet on Luo Bing, the hatred in Fei Xue's eyes gradually dissipated. She knew Luo Bing had resisted but failed, forced to surrender.

Just as she said, as long as one is alive, there is hope. When dead, there is nothing left.

Two hundred years of cultivation, finally becoming a Mahayana master, hoping to become immortal and live as long as the heavens and earth, losing one's life like this really isn't worth it.

"I surrender."

Fei Xue struggled for a moment, but eventually, her resolve crumbled, sheathed her treasure sword, and bowed her head helplessly.

"Then place the Sacrifice Spell." Li Yi said calmly, flicking his finger to send a spell with the Sacrifice Spell over.

Fei Xue received the spell force. Although unwilling, she learned the Sacrifice Spell and cast it.

Li Yi accepted the curse seal and immediately said, "Come with me. Surrendering alone isn't enough; you must help me find other Cultivators."

"Alright."

Fei Xue did not refuse. Since she had surrendered, these were things she could anticipate.

Betrayal must be absolute. Hesitating and wavering would only lead to a catastrophe.

Li Yi moved again, and his team gained another traitor.

Confronted with such a situation, Liu Yunbai and Zheng Duoduo were not surprised. Facing Li Yi's mighty power, once these Cultivators were found, they either had to surrender or die, with no other options.

It's not that they didn't want to leave the battlefield and flee elsewhere.

But they didn't dare to gamble.

Because outside the battlefield, Demon Kings were patrolling. If Cultivators escaped without following the rules, the Demon Kings would be more than happy to kill them, even though the Xuanxian Continent and Demon God Realm were allies.

But who wouldn't want to weaken the other side's forces?

After all, without the evolvers from Earth, war between the two worlds was inevitable, as two tigers cannot share one mountain.

With three Mahayana cultivators searching, plus Liu Yunbai and Zheng Duoduo, it was nearly impossible for enemies scattered in the battlefield to hide. Several sweeps with Divine Sense would detect any clue.

Unless the opponent had a treasure that could shield Divine Sense.

"Found it, a Great Demon." As a Mid-Mahayana Cultivator, Fei Xue quickly accomplished something. Her Divine Sense locked onto a patch of sand on the battlefield and captured the aura of a Great Demon.

"Indeed, there's a Great Demon lurking here. Although its aura is hidden, it's still discovered." Zheng Duoduo nodded slightly.

"Force it out." Li Yi said.

As soon as the words fell.

The traitor Master Xuanzhen couldn't wait to perform, raising his hand to cast a spell which bombarded the calm sand.

Bang!

With a strike from the Mahayana cultivator, the ground shattered instantly.

However, the next moment.

A powerful demonic power soared into the sky, and then a Great Demon roared as it revealed itself: "Cultivators, are you mad to attack me."

But before he could finish speaking, Li Yi had already instantly killed, simply raising his fist and delivering a punch, the power of the dragon and tiger resonating together, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Li Yi." The eyes of this Great Demon suddenly shrank, instinctively raising a hand to defend.

However, under the terrifying outpour of Dragon and Tiger Power, he let out a miserable cry, blood spurting out, and he fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground, sustaining serious injuries with just one strike, unable to fight anymore.

"This Li Yi... is indeed unbelievably strong, using just physical strength to directly crush a Great Demon." This scene made Master Xuanzhen's heart tremble with fear.

Besides him, Luo Bing and Fei Xue's expressions also tightened, feeling fearful, because if that force hit them, it likely wouldn't just leave them severely injured, but rather dead on the spot.

"Surrender, and I can spare your life," Li Yi said coldly.

"Surrender, nonsense, I am under the command of the Silver Tooth Demon King..." The Great Demon roared unwillingly, having no intention to surrender, still full of defiance.

But before he could finish his words, Li Yi reached out with his finger and slashed a strike.

Dividing River into Land!

Instantly.

It seemed as if both the sky and the earth were cut open together, and with it, the body of this Great Demon was split in half, blood splattering everywhere.

"Let's go, find the next one." Li Yi did not waste any more time, continuing to explore ahead.

Looking at the shattered corpse of the Great Demon, Liu Yunbai directly stored it into a Storage Magical Artifact, thinking that it's better not to waste the demon's body; instead of letting it rot on the battlefield, it's better to take it back for further use.

The death of this Great Demon also made Master Xuanzhen, Luo Bing, and Fei Xue feel a bit fortunate that they surrendered; otherwise, their fate would have been the same.

Li Yi continued to swiftly sweep the battlefield, finding that trying to make the Great Demons surrender was almost impossible. Although the Great Demons were violent and ferocious, they were very loyal to the Demon King, and would not surrender to him. If found, they would either resist and die in battle or try to flee and be hunted down.

In contrast, the Cultivators, as long as they were forced into desperation, were almost always willing to surrender, very rarely fighting to the death.

However, Li Yi didn't care, it was preferable if they surrendered, and if not, he would kill them as a matter of course.

Li Yi's actions naturally also caught the attention of the Demon Kings and the Immortals of the Xuanxian World outside the battlefield.

The two remaining Demon Kings, seeing their subordinates hiding on the battlefield brutally killed, remained expressionless, taking no action. After all, the outcome of losing the war was like this. In previous times, when Earth's Evolvers lost, they were also slowly cleaned up, powerless to resist, and only those with good luck or some skills could survive until the end of the twelve hours and then retreat from the battlefield.

"Sky Moon Demon King has already stepped onto the battlefield; as long as he defeats the three powerful figures from Earth, Li Yi is bound to die, so they are eager to end this war and then withdraw from the battlefield, leaving here. So, do you want to intervene?" Golden Feather Demon King's cold eyes swept over the battlefield.

The Great Demon Golden Roc, from his own clan, was shot and killed by Li Yi using the Treasure Moon Bow, a vengeance he still planned to exact.

However, the Silver Tooth Demon King shook his head and said, "Intervening now would make us a laughingstock, and besides, Sky Moon Demon King is not one to like others helping him. The war is already lost; if it's lost, it must be lost gracefully. If we want revenge, we can settle old and new scores together when the next battle begins, wouldn't that be better?"

Silver Tooth Demon King had his pride and didn't want to do such disgraceful things. He planned to recover his lost face in the next war rather than stepping forward now with the stance of someone who can't lose.

Golden Feather Demon King, hearing this, said, "Since Silver Tooth Demon King says so, I'll keep this account open for now."

He restrained the urge to kill in his heart, planning to carefully scheme for the next war.

Meanwhile.

The immortals of Xuanxian Continent saw Li Yi on the battlefield accepting the surrender of Cultivators and their faces darkened. Some of those Mahayana Cultivators even came from their own sects, and now they openly defected in battle which was simply a slap in their face.

At this moment, they wished they could strike directly and kill the traitors along with Li Yi.

"These cowards actually surrendered to Li Yi, not having even a bit of integrity, utterly deserving death." The Sword Immortal from the Sword Control Sect was so furious that flames almost burst out.

But reason told him he couldn't act now. After all, the Sky Moon Demon King was already battling against the three experts from Earth high up, and the Xuanxian Continent had managed to stay on the sidelines with great difficulty. If they were to step forward and get involved, it would not be worth the loss.

"The war is already lost, nearly twenty Mahayana disciples have died, so what about those few defecting?" Cang Erzi remarked on the side, "Let's plan for the next war."

"Some Mahayana disciples surrendered out of helplessness, being found by Li Yi meant certain death if they didn't. They probably didn't want to, but still, it could be beneficial; the act of accepting their surrender could eventually lead to raising a tiger that would cause harm in the future." Another Immortal said calmly.

Though surrendering because they couldn't win was a tradition of the Xuanxian Continent, finding a chance to strike back against the captor was also a tradition; it all depended on each other's means.

Moreover, with the extended life spans of Cultivators, they would eventually find an opportunity.

"In the next war, having only thirty people participate is too few, we need at least three hundred; it would be best to crush these Evolvers in one battle so that future occurrences similar to Li Yi do not arise." The Sword Immortal of the Sword Control Sect said coldly, "Moreover, Immortal Artifacts and such must be taken into the battlefield, not giving the opponent a chance to turn the tables."

"The number of participants indeed needs to be increased next time, but the specifics still need to be discussed with the sect leaders of each sect. If the matter becomes too significant, it would require the True Immortal's consent," another Immortal nodded slightly, thinking the Sword Immortal of the Sword Control Sect made sense, but how to implement it would require careful consideration.

After all, a single sect could not produce so many Mahayana experts; it would require a True Immortal to order each sect to coordinate.

Even though the Xuanxian Continent had deep foundations, its power was too scattered to easily unite as one.
