Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140

"Although we spared no effort in resources, tried our best to save the wounded, and used the Life Repair Cabin to reshape their bodies, allowing the souls of many Cultivators to return to their bodies, the losses are still not small."

"Some battleships were destroyed, and that’s something we can accept as they are external matters and not worth mentioning. The real significant loss is five top military figures exhausted their luck, a batch of Evolver Warriors with great potential was heavily depleted, and the external reinforcements invited by Li Yi also suffered significant losses, with no less than ten Great Perfection Cultivators killed by the Great Demon. However, some Great Perfection Cultivators managed to preserve their Primordial Spirits."

"In addition, three out of the seven Martial Saints also perished, and of the one hundred elites from the Martial God Continent, fewer than fifty remain. This group of Martial Artists has a high casualty rate, which is related to their combat habits, making them prone to disadvantage."

"The most critical thing is that Li Yi got injured while defeating the Purple Dragon Demon God, and his strength has now declined. Fortunately, we have achieved an initial victory in this great battle. Although there are still some Demon Kings stationed on the other two continents, they are not to be feared; a few days of rest will be enough to completely eradicate them."

Inside the command ship, the high-level leaders from Earth were discussing the current battle situation. With the aid of artificial intelligence, they quickly handled the post-war work and counted the casualties. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelꜰire.net

"Either way, we defeated a Cultivation World. Although the sacrifices were significant, it was worthwhile. Taking down the Demon God Realm means that all of us from Earth will henceforth have an excellent environment for cultivation and a secure fallback route. I believe it won’t be long before the Evolvers from Earth will rise comprehensively."

Some of the high-level leaders believe such sacrifices were worth it.

Only by fighting outwards can peace be ensured, and defeating the Demon God Realm can also intimidate various external enemies, playing a crucial role in ensuring peace and stability going forward.

"Let’s focus on the aftermath work now..." Zhao Yongshan then brought the topic back.

Although they did not go to the battlefield, a lot of work requires their involvement, which is the most they can contribute.

If the follow-up work is not done well, those Evolvers might just take their heads off.

In the current world, strength equals authority. They seem like high-level officials, but in reality, the one truly in charge is Li Yi. If Li Yi wanted to attack the Demon God Realm, they had to cooperate and bring out everything they had.

At this moment, Li Yi found a hidden Demon King, chased it across the sea, and killed it en route. He then stored the demon king’s bisected body into the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet.

This kind of thing had become quite skilled.

In his Five Elements Bracelet now, several demon king remains were piling up, but the most precious was the body of that Purple Dragon Demon God and the Demon God Weapon seized from it.

"Taiyi, stop. You can’t pursue any further. On their continent, there are also Demon Kings. If we go there, we might be surrounded and killed, which poses certain risks."

At this moment, Xuan Yuezi did not dare to stray too far from Li Yi. She knew Li Yi was not in his peak state, though he could still fight Demon Kings, being surrounded would risk his demise.

Li Yi also stopped and said, "This battle was thrilling yet without peril. I didn’t expect, though the Demon God Realm had a strong foundation, the Demon Gods were quite few in number. Only two could fight, and the Golden Crow Demon God was not very willing to battle. If at the start the two Demon Gods had joined forces, who knows who’d win or lose."

"Perhaps this is the reason why the Demon God Realm’s fate is at its end." Xuan Yuezi said, "This world’s prosperity for too long, with demons rampant, it’s normal for them to face calamities now."

"Xuan Yuezi is right. The Demon God Realm reveres bloodlines—Golden Crow, Fire Phoenix, Purple Dragon—these are truly prestigious mythical creatures, and after achieving Demon God status, their combat power is terrifying. But, the stronger the bloodline, the lower the reproduction rate of their descendants. Moving from prosperity to decline is an inevitable reason, and our appearance merely accelerated this."

Just then, Xiang Xiangzi came flying over, stepping on Xiangyun, after her battle with the Demon King, gaining insights into many secrets of this world.

Those Demon Kings and Great Demons, all winged creatures are Fire Phoenix bloodline descendants, beasts are descendants of Qilin, scaly reptiles are descendants of Purple Dragon... Such hereditary bloodline power, how could it not decline?

"It’s a pity that the Sky Moon Demon King died. Otherwise, given some time, it might have really become a new Demon God."

Afterwards, Xiang Xiangzi thought again of the Sky Moon Demon King.

That was the first Demon King to appear in everyone’s view, nobly bloodlined and extraordinary, yet it mysteriously perished in the Mysterious Land.

Thus, Xuan Yuezi concluded with the rationale that the Demon God Realm’s destiny had reached its end.

"Alright, let’s stop chatting and head back to rest. The remaining two continents are currently powerless to attack, but they are already trapped like turtles in a jar, nothing to worry about. After resting, we will deal with them."

Li Yi gazed afar, his eyes sweeping past the layers of clouds, seeing the continent at the ocean’s end.

He could even feel the anxious figures of the Demon Kings on that continent.

However, Li Yi did not linger long and immediately retracted his gaze. Then, stepping on Xiangyun, he turned with the two Immortals and left.

As he returned, numerous strong figures were also returning over the surrounding ocean. They uniformly stopped at sea, not rashly advancing onto the other two continents.

the Eastern Pole Venerable was currently demonstrating Daoist Skill, showcasing mighty power, calming the world’s aftermath and restoring tranquility, then reconstructing the shattered continents, repairing them anew.

Though not too difficult, it was very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The Eastern Pole Venerable might have felt he didn’t contribute much in this battle, hence he dedicatedly helped with the aftermath.

"Yi, how are you holding up?" As Li Yi returned, Emperor Shenwu, Li Jiye, flew over from the Incense World, and asked with concern.

"No problem, just slightly injured at the foundation, nothing major. Dad, why did you suddenly cross over from Incense World?" Li Yi asked.

"With the fighting reaching this extent, how could I stay idle? But there’s no problem over in the Incense World. Rest assured, I left your mom to handle state affairs, and there are two Immortals stationed there, no trouble will arise." Li Jiye replied with a smile.

"You should have waited ten or twenty years to start this war. Once I finish training the Jinyi Guard and Golden Eyes Guard, our number of combatants would definitely not have been lesser than in the Demon God Realm."

Li Yi chuckled bitterly, "I wanted to try fighting once first. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll use the backup plan. The Jinyi Guard and Golden Eyes Guard you’re training aren’t ready to be used yet. There will be countless wars in the future, we have to keep some reserve strength."

"That’s true." Li Jiye nodded, "The battle on my side was also tough enough, even the Imperial Jade Seal was chipped when it collided with the Demon King Weapon. I wonder if that’s fate."

He then somewhat distressedly pulled out the Imperial Jade Seal, which despite being blessed with luck and infinite in power, now had a chipped corner, no longer at its peak.

"That’s because the Imperial Jade Seal’s material is too inferior. Even nurtured with incense, it’s still somewhat lacking. But it’s okay, this time I hunted a True Dragon. Later, I’ll use the True Dragon Bone, along with Divine Wood and Red Gold, to forge a new Jade Seal for you, Dad."

Li Yi said with a smile, not letting his old father make the trip in vain.

"That would be great." Li Jiye’s eyes lit up, showing some joy.

"With the capture of the Demon God Realm, we have all the resources we need. Taiyi, I’ll also help you collect some later." Xiang Xiangzi immediately said.

Xuan Yuezi then looked up at the sky, "I remember the Golden Crow Demon God is from the direction of the sun. Perhaps there’s a lair of the Golden Crow Demon God there. Once we’ve rested, we should go there and look, maybe we’ll find some good stuff."

She was thoughtful and paid attention to a small detail.

The Golden Crow Demon had fled, surely without time to return home, so its countless years worth of accumulation would naturally become the spoils of war.

"You’re right. This is important, I’ll have Red Girl note it down, lest I forget." Li Yi nodded.

The wealth of the Demon God is still very useful.

Li Jiye said, "By the way, Yi, do you want to go back to the Incense World to recuperate?"

Li Yi said, "No, I still can’t go. Right now, as a One God, I’ve established the Red Gold Country in the Barbaric World. I have to appear and pacify those Divine Blood Warriors, otherwise, it could cause disorder. Besides, the great war isn’t finished, I need to stay here to stabilize people’s hearts."

"Father, you head back first, I’ll give you an Immortal Dao Battleship so you can cross dimensions at any time."

"Okay, then I’ll make a trip back to reassure your mom, then I’ll return afterward." Li Jiye said.

an Immortal Dao Battleship made of Divine Wood flew over. Li Yi transferred the permissions to his father, Li Jiye, and then watched him leave across dimensions.

Then, the gates to the Incense World closed.

Without the incense’s support, Li Yi’s strength began to decrease again. Previously, if he could kill a Demon King, now he might only be evenly matched with one.

And as time passes, the power of the incense continues to diminish.

Li Yi now just hopes that after some recuperation, his strength won’t decline too severely; otherwise, if he can’t even hold the position of a One God, that would be disastrous.

All this is the cost of burning Divine Blood.
