The Post Sky Tipping Era-Chapter 1218 - 980: Profound Immortal’s Passing

Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi decided to venture into the Heavenly Realm, having made various preparations. They followed Li Yi around, waiting for him to handle the trivial matters.

Li Yi did not linger long in the Barbaric World. He only stayed for a few days, met the clan leaders of the various tribes, and also interacted with Merchant Lord Xiu Xiang, gifting him an elixir from the Heavenly Realm. Taking it would not only grant immortality but also purify the body, condense the Primordial Spirit, and pave a smooth path for cultivation.

Afterwards, he traveled around the Red Gold Country, made his presence known briefly, and then left the Barbaric World.

Li Yi took the two Immortals and returned to Earth.

This time, his gaze turned to the Xuanxian Continent.

"Taiyi, are we going to deal with the enemies of the Xuanxian Continent?" Xiang Xiangzi immediately perceived Li Yi’s intention from the side.

"The Xuanxian Continent was the first to invade Earth. Now that the Demon God Realm has been conquered, logically, the next should be the Xuanxian Continent, but for various reasons, it was delayed."

Li Yi said, "The people of the Xuanxian Continent are also smart. Seeing the unfavorable situation, they quickly retreated. With the current strength of Earth, retaliation requires many years of accumulation. I intended to wipe out the Xuanxian Continent before leaving this time, but on second thought, keeping this enemy might not be a bad thing."

"At least Earth has a sense of crisis, and with an external formidable enemy, Earth people won’t be constantly thinking of internal strife."

As an Earthling, he knew well the demeanor of Earth people. Without external enemies, internal conflicts would arise.

"How about targeting their leaders?" Xuan Yuezi also noticed Li Yi’s concern and then suggested.

"A brilliant idea, Immortal." Li Yi’s eyes lit up: "The top experts of the Xuanxian Continent, in order, are Immortal, True Immortal, and Profound Immortal. The one truly capable of threatening Earth is the Profound Immortal."

"This level should be similar to the Demon God. Leaving it is indeed a hazard. If the Profound Immortal chooses to act first when I am absent, Earth might face total destruction."

"Then let’s remove these weeds before leaving."

After making a decision, Li Yi used the Heavenly King’s Power to shield the two Immortals beside him, and then took a step forward, instantly crossing a world, arriving directly above the Xuanxian Continent.

"What kind of divine skill is this? To cross two realms in a single step?" Xiang Xiangzi exclaimed in shock.

Li Yi replied, "This divine skill is called World Step. As the name suggests, one step, one world. For me, a single step doesn’t only cross two realms; I can cross at least ten worlds. However, if the worlds are too small, it’s not good. I need to control it precisely, or I may lose direction."

As a Heavenly King, even the same divine skill displays different outcomes depending on one’s realm.

"How do we find the Profound Immortal?" Xuan Yuezi asked, "If the Profound Immortal is hiding and reclusive, it might be difficult to locate them. If Taiyi displays extraordinary power, not only will the Profound Immortal not appear, but they might also be scared away, which would be counterproductive."

"Indeed, I believe so." At this moment, Li Yi began recalling the Circulation God Demon Skill in his mind.

Searching for any divine skills that could locate someone.

His breakthrough was too rapid. Even with the Heavenly King’s Power, due to insufficient accumulated experience, he hadn’t learned many commonly used divine skills and spells, leading to the feeling of having strength but unable to use it now.

In the end, he suffered from a lack of knowledge.

But this was not a big deal.

The Circulation God Demon Skill encompasses numerous divine powers and techniques. If you wish to study, there’s enough material inside for a lifetime of research.

Soon.

Li Yi found a good technique.

Heavenly God’s Command!

The name might seem casual, but the power is formidable. It requires opening the Skillful Gate, circulating divine power, calling out to the heavens and earth. Everything under the shroud of divine power must obey your command, unable to resist.

Of course. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The prerequisite is that your power must be strong enough. If you’re not strong enough, you cannot command anyone. Li Yi, as a Heavenly King, can command all below the Heavenly General.

It also depends on your strength. If your strength is adequate, perhaps you can resist the Heavenly God’s Command.

"Hmm, I can barely perform the Heavenly God’s Command."

After pondering for a few hours, Li Yi utilized his Primordial Spirit Power to simulate it, eventually mastering it. Though not proficient, he could use it. Since being baptized by the blood of a Heavenly Venerate, he was no longer an average cultivator but truly a genius.

Immediately.

He manifested his true form.

A seven-hundred-twenty-foot-tall body appeared in this realm for the first time. The world-shattering aura of the Heavenly King permeated, instantly shattering the firmament, piercing space. Just the residual power spreading caused the entire Xuanxian Continent to tremble, swaying as if it had suddenly entered an apocalypse, with the world on the verge of annihilation.

"This power... truly exaggerated, the scattered aura alone is enough to shatter a world?" At this moment, Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi’s pupils shrank suddenly, their minds greatly shaken.

This was simply beyond the power they could imagine.

Moreover, if they hadn’t felt a force protecting them, just by Li Yi revealing his true form, they would have instantly turned to dust, disappearing without a trace, leaving behind no remnants.

"Is this the power of the Heavenly Realm?" Xuan Yuezi pressed her lips together.

Li Yi once said in the Tao Court that an Enlightened One in the Heavenly Realm is like a roadside one, and they had been skeptical upon hearing it. But truly witnessing this mighty power, they finally understood that they weren’t even comparable to a roadside one.

They were simply like ants, easily crushed to death if not careful.

No wonder Taiyi strongly opposed taking them into the Heavenly Realm.

Cultivators of Great Perfection were indeed too fragile; even a little force could shatter them completely, leaving no chance of rescue.

"What’s going on? Is the Xuanxian Continent heading for annihilation? Why is there such terrifying aura? I feel my Primordial Spirit about to shatter. What, what in the world is going on?"

"A giant appeared in the heavens and earth, but the power is too terrifying to behold, or the Primordial Spirit will suffer severe damage."

"This is not a power the Xuanxian Continent can withstand. Is it a terrifying being from another world passing through?"

The many in Mahayana Realm, Human Immortals, and True Immortals of the Xuanxian Continent became terrified.

Although some of them were far from Li Yi’s location and didn’t know what had happened, the entire Xuanxian Continent was now trembling, and the sky was ruthlessly torn apart by a mighty force.

The entire world simply couldn’t withstand this power and had already begun to collapse.

"I command the profound immortals of this world to come here immediately and pay respects to this king." Li Yi opened the Skillful Gate, activated divine power, and spoke, employing divine skills.

His words transformed into irrevocable decrees, impacting this world.

Under the cloak of the Heavenly King’s power, the profound immortals couldn’t defy such an order.

In the next moment.

From various parts of the Xuanxian Continent, which seemed on the brink of destruction, beams of immortal light soared into the sky.

The hidden profound immortals, as if manipulated, immediately revealed themselves and flew rapidly in Li Yi’s direction.

As for why this was happening, they didn’t know.

Profound immortals who obeyed the command now had eyes filled with terror; although their bodies were under control, their consciousness was clear, and it seemed something had forcefully taken over everything.

"I am a profound immortal, yet summoned by a mere command? What kind of terrifying divine skill is this?"

"Such an uncanny event exists in the world? What terrifying being is this, targeting only profound immortals? Does it want to consume us for nourishment?"

"Damn it, all my primordial spirit magical power is beyond my command, this order is utterly irresistible."

Many profound immortals considered rebelling, but failed.

This was a Heavenly King’s Order, equivalent to a dimensional strike in the lower realm.

However, only the heavenly god royal family could wield such divine skills, a privilege of the royal family. As for the reason, Li Yi didn’t care as long as he wasn’t restricted; ordinary heavenly kings couldn’t learn such royal divine skills, and that had nothing to do with him.

Soon.

The profound immortals of the Xuanxian Continent gathered.

The number was small, only nine.

There were elders with white hair and beards, boys of fifteen or sixteen, jade-carved children, and beautiful, enchanting fairies... profound immortals are immortal, their appearances unchanged, so their images vary according to their preferences.

When the nine profound immortals gathered, they looked at this giant standing between heaven and earth, and immediately their legs weakened, falling to their knees.

The aura of the Heavenly King left them no room for resistance, only the trembling of fear and the pain of their divine bodies cracking under the unable-to-bear pressure.

"Incredible divine skill, directly commanding profound immortals?" Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of horror.

The mighty power of divine skills in the heavenly realm is truly omnipotent.

This was beyond the realm of cultivation.

When Li Yi saw the nine Heavenly Kings, he immediately retracted his divine body, returning to his original size, yet the aura he exuded was still enough to crush the sky and obliterate the stars.

The nine profound immortals knelt with foreheads to the ground, not daring to show any slack.

Everyone’s expression was tense, and they secretly decided that no matter what this terrifying being said, they would agree.

Even if it meant stripping naked and running wild on the Xuanxian Continent for a thousand years, there would be no problem.

As long as they didn’t die, merely surviving was enough.

"Raise your heads." Li Yi said calmly.

The nine profound immortals trembled, but hurriedly raised their heads, their eyes filled with extreme terror.

Li Yi calmly said: "You should know who I am, Li Yi, the Earth Evolver. However, the past is not important now. I have summoned you out of concern, for fear that after I leave, the profound immortals of the Xuanxian Continent might unite to attack Earth."

"Earth is weak, lacking top combat power, and cannot withstand the turmoil of you profound immortals."

Upon hearing this, the nine profound immortals immediately understood, the corners of their mouths showing a touch of bitterness.

The worst fear had come true.

Earth’s cultivators enjoy crossing realms, and now a formidable and terrifying presence has grown, come to settle accounts; who can withstand it?

But Li Yi didn’t shatter the Xuanxian Continent or directly take their lives, indicating there’s still some room for maneuver, otherwise, they wouldn’t be kneeling here at all, they’d already be on their way.

"Willing to self-destruct, leaving one primordial spirit, reincarnating, hoping for permission." One profound immortal immediately spoke trembling.

"I permit you one Primordial Spirit to cross the realm; live or die depends on your fate." Li Yi said calmly.

"Thank you."

The profound immortal immediately felt control returning to his body, and almost without hesitation, dissipated immortal power, burned out his divine body, leaving only a Primordial Spirit to fly away, soon finding a space wormhole and disappearing into it.

A giant of the Xuanxian Continent fell like that.

The other eight profound immortals saw this, their expressions changed, and lastly, several profound immortals didn’t hesitate either, immediately sitting down too, leaving only a strand of Primordial Spirit Power to cross realms and flee.

Risking it all, there’s still a chance to survive; otherwise, you’d have nothing left.

Before such a strong presence, you had no say, only to obediently follow orders, just like they once ordered disciples to self-destruct.

Only now, it was their turn.

The others saw this and understood it was the best choice, and immediately no longer hesitated, each sitting down.
