The Post Sky Tipping Era

At this moment, the Immortal Dao Battleship was carrying more than forty top practitioners to the Earth Defense Line.

Before reaching the position, Li Yi could see from the cockpit that the distant sky was shrouded by a boundless darkness. From deep within that darkness emanated an aura of evil and ominous foreboding. Occasionally, there were bizarre appendages and limbs reaching out from the darkness, as if perceiving everything around them.

"That's the Evil God of the Dark World." Li Yi's face sank at the sight.

Unexpectedly, the adversary was already this brazen. This patch of darkness had swallowed at least hundreds of kilometers of sky and was continuously spreading outward. If this continues, Earth fears becoming a corner of the Dark World.

"Taiyi, should we annihilate them?" At this moment, Xuan Yuezi proactively suggested. She had a vendetta against the Dark World's Evil God and naturally couldn't tolerate these evil entities wreaking havoc before her.

Li Yi said, "Immortal, calm down first, let's assess the situation. Moreover, exposing all our strength at once isn't a very wise move."

Xuan Yuezi nodded slightly at this, suppressing the murderous intent in her heart.

"What, were you bullied by those monsters in the darkness?" Xiang Xiangzi said with a laugh.

Xuan Yuezi coldly replied, "These are evil objects from another world, terrifyingly powerful, and quite strange. Taiyi and I have had some tough experiences before. Xiang Xiangzi, though you are now a Great Perfectionist, you must remain cautious. The foundation of a Great Realm is extraordinary, just like the Demon God Realm. You once managed to kill Great Demons, but above them, there exist Demon Kings."

"Even if I encounter a Demon King, I'm not afraid. I don't believe I can't slay a Demon King," Xiang Xiangzi played with a lock of her hair, smiling.

In the past, when she was in the Two Flowers Realm, she fought and killed several Great Demons. Even though she perished in the process, she obtained a clear understanding of the Demon God Realm's strength. Now that she has reached Great Perfection, she doesn't doubt she can take down a Demon King.

However, the real strength will only be known after a fight.

"You might deal with Demon Kings, but others cannot. If surrounded by the powerhouses of several Great Realms, even we risk perishing," Xuan Yuezi stated.

Xiang Xiangzi's smile slightly faded: "That's true, Senior Sister Miao Huizi is now barely in the Three Flowers Realm, far from Great Perfection. Only you and I can handle Demon Kings, so indeed, we must be more cautious."

"Everything follows Taiyi's arrangements, do not make decisions on your own," Xuan Yuezi advised.

"Of course," Xiang Xiangzi glanced at Li Yi, her eyes showing a different emotion.

At this moment, Li Yi gained a rough understanding of the strength of the dozens of cultivators. The strongest among them were Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi, who cultivated diligently in the Incense World and reached Great Perfection through the Power of Incense.

Following them was Divine Lady Yun, who was also advancing towards Great Perfection, missing only one Tao Flower.

Then there were Miao Huizi, newly resurrected, as well as Shenxu Taoist, Yuan Yang Taoist, and Qing Fengzi, who were at the Peak of the Three Flowers Realm.

As for the others, most were in the Two Flowers Realm and One Flower Realm.

In terms of combat power evaluation.

Those in the One Flower Realm could barely contend with Great Demons, but in a deadly battle, they were certainly not the opponents, just like Feiyunzi, whose body was destroyed by a Great Demon and his Primordial Spirit nearly obliterated.

The Two Flowers Realm could surpass Great Demons by a few degrees; if proficient in Daoist Skills, such experts could swiftly kill Great Demons.

As for the Three Flowers Realm, Xuan Yuezi once wielded the power of the Three Flowers Realm at the Demon God Realm's defense line, utterly overwhelming opponents without any suspense, but this realm was certainly not a match for Demon Kings.

Hence, Xiang Xiangzi estimated that only with Three Flowers Perfection could a Demon King be slain.

But now, with everyone holding a Red Gold Dao Artifact, things would be different, and combat power could increase by another level.

Yet as Li Yi pondered.

Suddenly.

The Immortal Dao Battleship shook violently.

A shriveled, pale, giant hand suddenly reached out from the depths of the dark sky, a part of the Evil God's body, exuding a terrifying and eerie aura. This shriveled, pale hand seemed to seal off this piece of heaven and earth, reaching toward the Immortal Dao Battleship.

Clearly, an Evil God had taken notice of this extraordinary battleship, intending to capture and take it back for research.

"Courting death, daring to intercept us," Xiang Xiangzi was immediately furious when she heard this, already drawing her Red Gold blade.

Appearing gentle and charming, the Immortal now looked like a bandit leader, ready to brandish her large blade against the Evil God.

"Immortal, let's first test the power of the Immortal Dao Battleship, see how well Tian Gong Taoist's masterpiece performs," Li Yi's eyes flickered, also revealing a killing intent.

"Hongji, prepare for impact."

He wanted to see how well the battleship would hold up against this blow, whether it would suffer damage.

"Very well, master," Intelligent Brain Hongji took control of the battleship and immediately activated its Defensive Array.

A red gold radiance shone brightly, as if draped in an indestructible armor. Facing the hand reaching from the darkness, its speed didn't slow but instead increased, with the air burning and the void twisting.

Soon.

The two collided.

Darkness encroached but was instantly engulfed by red gold light. The shriveled, pale hand was torn open with a hideous tear upon mere contact, scattering bizarre blood upon the earth, while a scream erupted from the depths of the darkness.

Evidently, the other party had somewhat underestimated the power of the Immortal Dao Battleship, suffering a severe injury as his hand was easily pierced rather than capturing the ship.

"The defensive power is indeed amazing," seeing this scene, Li Yi's confidence soared.

However, the matter wasn't concluded.

Because of the Evil God's injury, the entire dark sky began to move violently, with tendrils drooping down, twisting and shaking, like a dense net, attempting to trap the Immortal Dao Battleship within.

Li Yi didn't stop, only allowing Hongji to control the battleship to continue flying forward.

Along the way, all the tendrils were crushed, countless flesh fragments accompanied by a blood rain, frantically pouring down. In mere moments, the Evil God was injured again, forced to quickly retract the tendrils, and let out an unwilling roar before gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Evidently, that Evil God gave up.

It realized the formidableity of the battleship and knew continuing to attack without any advantage might result in its own demise here.

"Ran away? How dare this thing be called an Evil God, merely a bunch of cowardly monsters," Xiang Xiangzi said with dissatisfaction, the large blade in her hand already drawn, yet the enemy was gone.

"The Dark World's Evil Gods are not limited to just one, numerous in number and varying in strength. The one we encountered was mediocre and not worth fearing," Xuan Yuezi commented on the side.

Since that Evil God had failed, the subsequent journey faced no attacks on the Immortal Dao Battleship. It even seemed that the darkness intentionally allowed Li Yi and his companions to pass, as the Evil God worried about the battleship charging into the darkness and harming them.

Soon.

The sky ahead suddenly brightened.

The darkness passed.

A desolate land lay before them, its environment harsh, energy turbulent, with lightning and thunderstorms, violent winds and rains, the climate very abnormal.

Evidently, this was a battlefield.

And this battlefield seemed to have recently experienced a fierce battle; Li Yi could even see the remains of some Great Demons, along with some monster corpses.

"Hongji, contact the Earth Defense Line and tell them I'm back. Ask how things are going," Li Yi instructed.

"Okay, contacting Earth now," Hongji responded immediately.

Soon.

There was a response from the Earth Defense Line.

It was Zhao Yongshan, the person in charge of the defense line.

"Li Yi, you're finally back, that's great," Zhao Yongshan's voice revealed a sense of delight but couldn't hide a trace of fatigue.

"What's the current situation? Do you need my help?" Li Yi promptly inquired.

Zhao Yongshan hurriedly said, "Of course we do. We are currently short of top combat power, and your return is perfect timing. However, it's not easy to explain everything now, you should come over quickly. Be careful on the way, there are dangers. The Evil Gods of the Dark World and Great Demons of the Demon God Realm enjoy intercepting Earth's Evolvers, and many have been killed on the way to provide support."

"I understand, but I'm not so weak as to be intercepted," Li Yi responded.

Yet, as the Immortal Dao Battleship crossed the battlefield, he indeed sensed several Divine Senses sweeping through, along with incredible bursts of Demon Qi. However, the battleship's displayed power was so overwhelming that they didn't intervene, only watched from a cautious distance.
