With the successive defeat of the five Great Demons. The Earth Defense Line, which had almost collapsed, miraculously held firm once again at this moment. As time passed, the Earth Demons and Sky Demons began to retreat continuously. This change made the Evolvers, who were struggling to maintain their ground, suddenly very excited. The retreat of the Sky Demons was also a matter of necessity because the Great Demons had been defeated by Earth’s experts. If they didn’t leave now, they might not be able to escape later. Thus, the previously favorable situation turned into a complete rout. "The Sky Demons want to retreat? I’ll intercept and kill them, and help save others in the meantime." Seeing that the opposition’s momentum had faded, Li Yi didn’t mind pursuing his victory, he couldn’t do much against the Great Demons, but dealing with the Sky Demons was still within his capabilities. "Be careful." Xuan Yuezi saw this and did not stop him, only giving a word of caution. She could see that Taiyi defeating the Sky Demons wasn’t difficult, as long as no Great Demons intervened, Taiyi should have no life-threatening risks on this battlefield. After all, he was wearing Middle Grade Dao Artifact, Red Feather Purple Gold Armor, so he could at least protect himself if he couldn’t win. "Taiyi, I crafted a weapon for you to kill enemies." Tu Daoist seeing this, immediately waved his hand, and a long spear tore through the sky and flew towards him, stopping right before him. "Great, thank you, Daoist." Li Yi did not hesitate and grabbed the spear, leaving a soul imprint on it immediately. Afterward, he communicated with the Artifact Spirit to understand some information about this Dao Artifact. This is a Middle Grade Dao Artifact, the Shattered Star Long Spear. It was named by Tu Daoist. Although the name is common, its power is indeed strong. With just a swing, divine light and cold light flickered, easily tearing through the sky. Li Yi couldn’t help but feel a little delighted. He just happened to lack such a weapon; otherwise, using the Treasure Moon Bow and Black Gold Arrow every time was simply too extravagant. Moreover, he only had one Black Gold Arrow left, the other one was picked up by a Sky Demon in the chaos, which was truly unfortunate. "Try this Dao Artifact on the Sky Demons." Li Yi then targeted a Sky Demon in retreat. Although this Sky Demon flew extremely fast, he was still caught by Li Yi’s Cloud-Riding Technique. The Sky Demon shouted, sensing danger, and the ancient battle blade in his hand instantly wove countless Dao Traces. Subsequently, the surging demonic power exploded, transforming into a gigantic Sword Gang that slashed towards the direction Li Yi came from. No matter who was targeting him, to the Sky Demon, as long as they were an enemy, they had to endure his full-force strike. "Shattered Star Long Spear." Li Yi cloud-rided over and immediately activated his mana, raising the spear in his hand. Divine light intertwined, and the spear burst with the power of a Dao Artifact. These divine lights converged to form the spearhead, then met the terrible strike from the Sky Demon. However, in the next moment. The Dao Traces and demonic power intertwined, the Sword Gang condensed was suddenly torn open with a ferocious gap. Wherever it went, demonic power shattered, Dao Traces dissipated, this strike was pierced through by the spear in Li Yi’s hand. "How is this possible?" The Sky Demon was startled, then saw the spear rushing directly at him. Too fast, can it be stopped? The Sky Demon had no confidence but still swung his blade to block. Although the weapons from the Demon God Realm are quite good, how could they compare to the Dao Artifact specially crafted by Tu Daoist? Moreover, the Dao Artifact in Li Yi’s hand had reached Mid Grade, designed primarily for killing. The great blade in the Sky Demon’s hand was struck by the spear, then exploded into fragments with a loud bang. The spear took advantage to pierce through his chest. The Sky Demon suffered severe injuries, spat out a mouthful of blood, then roared angrily and immediately withdrew to escape, daring not to fight with Li Yi anymore. The weapon disparity was too big, if the fight continued, he’d undoubtedly die. To contend with this person, it would take several Sky Demons surrounding him together. "What a fine Shattered Star Long Spear." Li Yi couldn’t help but praise after witnessing this scene. With the support of this weapon, he wouldn’t find it as difficult and arduous to take down a Sky Demon as before. Facing the fleeing Sky Demon, he immediately extended his fingers, and an ultimate brilliance gathered upon them. "Dividing River into Land." A top-tier killing Daoist skill unleashed. Under normal circumstances, this Sky Demon could avoid this strike, or even resist it with explosive demonic power. But now he was injured and panicking, only focused on escaping, so he was unprepared for this blow. The Sky Demon’s body was severed, meanwhile, several nearby Earth Demons were also affected by this Tao Skill, perishing on the spot. "Not bad, the Dao Artifacts I crafted are very effective." Tu Daoist nodded approvingly at this scene: "Upon coming to Earth, I should have crafted more lethal Dao Artifacts, and discarded those random Dao Artifacts." He adapted to the conditions, knowing that combat and struggle were frequent on Earth, crafting Daoist robes, gourds, and horsetail whisks as Dao Artifacts would be a waste; instead, he needed to create spears, swords, and armor for combat. After Li Yi took down a Sky Demon, he realized something. He surveyed the surroundings, not knowing if by now the defense line he was responsible for had already been cleared of others. Su Mu, along with Tao Sheng, Pan Hongjie, and Lu Yi, have all disappeared. It’s unclear whether they are fighting the enemy elsewhere, or if they’ve perished in this battle. "Let’s search. Now that my crisis is over, if possible, I’d like to save them." With this thought, Li Yi immediately embarked on Cloud Riding. The Tri-Floral Realm experts didn’t follow; as long as there were no Great Demons on the battlefield, they weren’t worried about Li Yi encountering trouble. Li Yi circled near the defense line. Finally, a hundred kilometers away, he found Su Mu. At this moment, Su Mu was covered in blood, her nano suit was damaged beyond repair, revealing her pale skin. If not for her Evolver physique coupled with her mastery in multiple techniques, unleashing immense potential, she would have already perished. And her opponent’s strength was not strong, just three Earth Demons. If Su Mu were in good condition, she could have easily killed these three Earth Demons, but she was severely injured, seemingly struck by a Sky Demon, leaving her unable to handle the Earth Demons. "The strength of an Earth Demon is equivalent to an Evolver at the Spirit God Realm, but due to the Evolver’s mastery of multiple techniques, Earth Demons are generally no match. Sky Demons are equivalent to the Spirit Tribulation Realm, but the Evolvers on Earth haven’t mastered techniques up to the Spirit Tribulation Realm, therefore they suffer against Sky Demons. If someday these techniques could reach the Sky Demon level, then Evolvers could overpower Sky Demons." Li Yi at this moment had a rough understanding of the strength tiers within the Demon God Realm. Despite his thoughts, his actions were swift. With a wave of his hand, a silver lightning bolt accompanied by Dragon and Tiger Power descended from the sky, splitting into three to target the three Earth Demons. Thunder roared, and the dragons and tigers bellowed. The three Earth Demons, which were encircling Su Mu, were struck before they could react, each being severely wounded and collapsing on the ground, their bodies scorched and torn apart. Faced with this sudden scene, Su Mu was momentarily stunned, and then quickly turned towards the direction from which the attack came. But the next moment, she saw someone wielding thunder, striking the three Earth Demons again. The second strike left the Earth Demons incapable of resistance, and they were killed. "Their life force is truly tenacious." Li Yi couldn’t help but mutter, then flew towards Su Mu. "Li Yi, is that you? That’s great, you’re still alive." Su Mu was relieved at the sight: "How’s the situation over at the defense line? I’m really sorry, I couldn’t help much. After being struck by a Sky Demon, I was severely injured, barely managing against these Earth Demons, nearly getting surrounded and killed." "Professor Li Yue and Tang Yi from the Golden Academy came to assist. They managed to take down five Great Demons, stabilizing the crumbling defense line. The Sky Demons started to retreat after realizing the tides had turned, giving me the opportunity to search near the defense line to see how you all were doing." Li Yi’s expression was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Su Mu was most concerned about his and the defense line’s safety. But that’s understandable. If even experts like Li Yi died and the defense line collapsed, that would be truly desperate, whereas Evolvers like Su Mu who couldn’t influence the battlefield situation seemed less important. Su Mu now said with relief: "Fortunately, support arrived in time, otherwise Earth would have been invaded by the Demon God Realm. I’m alright now, won’t die, but I saw Pan Hongjie get killed by an Earth Demon, and Lu Yi was forced to abandon his physical body, with his soul crossing over. As for Tao Sheng, I didn’t see him, his situation is unknown." "The earlier situation was too complicated, I couldn’t focus on other people either." Li Yi said: "That’s normal, the battlefield was so chaotic, surviving depended entirely on one’s skills. After all, there’s too much of a power gap between us and the Demon God Realm. You should head back to the fortress by the defense line and rest. I’ll make another round, and clear out some leftover enemies." "Alright, be careful." Su Mu nodded and immediately dragged her heavily injured body back quickly. Fortunately, the way back was safe, with no enemies in sight. She finally returned safely to the camp. Upon seeing the unmasked Tianyi Palace, she was momentarily stunned. But Su Mu could confirm that this was the previous fortress. "I see, the previous fortress was actually transformed from an Immortal Hall." Su Mu was not foolish and immediately understood. After all, with the appearance of Xuanxian Continent, these Magic Treasures were no longer surprising. After entering Tianyi Palace, Su Mu found that a Life Repair Cabin was placed in the main hall. This was a high-tech product from the Sixth World, capable of repairing damaged limbs and injuries, and was considered a relatively precious medical device at the Golden Academy. "It must have been deliberately left here by Li Yi." Su Mu thought to herself, then lay directly inside without any hesitation. Intelligent Computer Lan Ji immediately activated the Life Repair Cabin to help Su Mu recover from her injuries. At this moment, Li Yi was meticulously managing the battlefield, and the scope of his patrol also continuously expanded. He casually eliminated several solitary Earth Demons and saw some Evolver corpses. Clearly, this battle resulted in heavy casualties on Earth’s defense line. However, he didn’t find any trace of Tao Sheng. Perhaps his remains no longer existed, or maybe he went too far from the defense line during the battle.
