CHAPTER 1131: CHAPTER 894: GRAVELY WOUNDED

At this moment, the battle between Li Yi and the Purple Dragon Demon God was extremely fierce. The two sides were locked in a deadly struggle, especially the Purple Dragon Demon God, who wanted to kill Li Yi in the shortest possible time before dealing with the Eastern Heavenly Venerable.

Because every time the Eastern Heavenly Venerable made a move, a Demon King would perish.

The Demon Realm could not withstand such losses. If this continued, even if he eventually succeeded in killing Li Yi, the Demon Realm would suffer a disastrous defeat.

However, Li Yi was not as easy to kill as imagined. Though the Purple Dragon Demon God had the upper hand, landing each strike with blood-splashing results on the hundred-zhang-tall giant, it failed to hurt him fundamentally. His terrifying recovery ability and robust foundation allowed him to endure a long battle.

What troubled the Purple Dragon Demon God the most was Li Yi’s extremely seasoned combat experience. He tried several times to exchange injuries for lives, but his intentions were seen through and did not succeed. Moreover, as time passed, Li Yi’s power continued to increase.

The cross-boundary Power of Incense grew more and more abundant, which would only make Li Yi’s second Primordial Spirit Flower stronger.

Boom!

The sky was torn apart once more as the Purple Dragon Demon God and Li Yi collided again, and the dreadful power capsized the entire sea, causing the whole Demon Realm to tremble. Countless lands were shattered.

But after this strike, both sides retreated as before.

Despite the Coiled Dragon Staff in the Purple Dragon Demon God’s hands being stained with the thunderblood of a One God, he also paid some price, with several places on his Dragon Scale Armor shattered, and leaving numerous fist marks and axe wounds.

Although these wounds were merely flesh wounds, the fact that they could draw blood from this Demon God proved the threat posed by the opponent before him.

"You are no match for me. If the battle drags on, you will surely die. If you quickly retreat, I might spare your life." The Purple Dragon Demon God roared angrily, attempting to shake the resolve of the person in front of him.

"Stop dreaming. As long as I keep you entangled, the Demon Realm is bound to lose. Once the Eastern Heavenly Venerable finishes dealing with your Demon Kings, he will join me to kill you. You better pray for yourself." Li Yi sneered coldly, "Besides, you and I have been fighting for a while now. Do you think you can kill me? If you could, I would have long since died by your hands, and wouldn’t be fighting till now."

"Courting death." The Purple Dragon Demon God roared in fury, knowing he must risk his life to break the deadlock; otherwise, the person before him might prove right.

An earth-shattering dragon roar sounded again.

In an instant.

The Purple Dragon Demon God revealed his true form. In an instant, a purple True Dragon, six thousand zhang long, appeared above the sky. The True Dragon’s body was immensely large, covering the sky and the sun. Even with a hundred-zhang Divine Body, Li Yi appeared insignificant before it.

The true dragon bloodline of the Demon God was truly perfect, with almost no weaknesses. His demonic power was profound, his strength overwhelming, his defense astonishing, and his life force and recovery ability were top-notch.

However, at this moment, the entire body of the purple True Dragon was glowing with a purple light, and under this dragon’s glow, the six thousand zhang-long True Dragon began to rapidly shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During the shrinking process, the scale armor on the True Dragon’s body started to compress, even breaking continuously, and the Purple Dragon Demon God let out a painful dragon roar.

Soon.

Dragon blood spurted from the body, staining the entire sky red.

Despite the Purple Dragon Demon God’s reduced size, his entire body’s demonic power continued to condense and compress, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.

"Is this guy desperately enhancing his power? So eager to take me down? Or is the adverse situation making this Demon God anxious, forcing him to do so?" Li Yi felt a chill in his heart upon seeing this.

He understood that this way of enhancing power was greatly damaging to the opponent himself, even if, in the end, he succeeded in taking him down, his own strength would be greatly diminished, making it very likely he couldn’t defeat the Eastern Heavenly Venerable.

However, Li Yi couldn’t simply watch the opponent enhancing his power so recklessly.

The divine power within him surged, the Dragon and Tiger Power augmented, and mana poured out. Then, wielding the giant axe, he shattered the space with one strike, slashing toward the purple True Dragon with full force, and combined with the Red Gold Divine Artifact, it was enough to severely wound the demon god.

Faced with this strike’s onset, the Purple Dragon Demon God seemed to have anticipated it, and though his body had shrunk to roughly a hundred zhang at this moment, it was covered in a purple radiance. He endured the pain and let out a dragon roar, then swung a dragon tail.

This strike was not strong, not intended to repel Li Yi, but just to fend off the attack and buy some time.

Yet, at this point in the battle, the price of showing weakness was undoubtedly heavy.

After Li Yi’s axe cut down, the Purple Dragon Demon God instantly let out a painful wail, a section of the dragon tail was forcibly chopped off, and countless blood spewed, with significant demon god power leaking out.

Hearing the painful wail of the demon god, all the Demon Kings turned back in shock and disbelief.

"Not good, the Demon God was seriously injured, and the dragon tail was actually severed by the opponent. How is this possible? That’s the Purple Dragon Demon God, the only True Dragon in the Demon Realm."

"Could the Purple Dragon Demon God be about to fail? How could it be like this? The opponent was clearly already at a disadvantage before, why is there now fatigue showing? Could it be that he has truly aged, and his demon god power is running out of strength?"

"The Purple Dragon Demon God must not lose, otherwise, the Demon Realm is finished."

Upon witnessing such a scene, the Demon Kings, and Great Demons felt their hearts chilled halfway. Initially, they relied on the Purple Dragon Demon God to kill Li Yi and then go on to face the Eastern Heavenly Venerable, helping them win this grand battle.

If he couldn’t even get past Li Yi, how could there possibly be any chance of victory afterward?

However, despite gaining the upper hand with one strike, Li Yi did not show the slightest bit of joy. On the contrary, his expression became even more serious, even carrying a bit of urgency. So, after cutting off the opponent’s dragon tail, he did not hesitate at all. With a roar towards the heavens from a god of the Barbaric World, he swallowed all the Spiritual Energy of this land for a thousand miles, and then he once again swung his fist enveloped in silver lightning to strike the Purple Dragon Demon God.

This period of weakness for the opponent won’t last long. Li Yi must seize this opportunity to severely wound the other party, otherwise, he fears he might not survive.

One punch shattered the sky, shaking the world.

The power of One God, under the blessing of the Power of Incense, was brought to its utmost.

Heaven and earth trembled once more, divine might poured down, and this blow directly obliterated the purple True Dragon.

But in the next moment.

A purple Divine Light bloomed within the endless sea of thunder, revealing the Purple Dragon Demon God, now reduced to just a few dozen feet, with a dragon’s roar shaking the heavens. Its speed evolved to the extreme, and with just a flick, it swept away the sea of thunder, rushing to Li Yi’s front.

What?

Li Yi’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Yet immediately, the Purple Dragon Demon God was like a sharp sword, piercing through his chest in an instant, tearing open a gaping wound in the otherwise indestructible Divine Body.

At that moment, a large amount of blood gushed out. Even the body of Golden Flesh and Jade Bone was eroded by the purple light at this moment, and the wound couldn’t heal for a time.

Li Yi’s massive body stumbled backward. He instinctively clutched his chest, staring fixedly at that purple figure.

At this moment, the Purple Dragon Demon God’s form was straight and unyielding, as if it had become a True Dragon Sword, cutting through anything. Although its body, now just a few dozen feet long, had shrunk considerably, the demonic power contained within was truly terrifying.

Without waiting for Li Yi to make any adjustments, the Purple Dragon Demon God once again transformed into a streak of purple Divine Light, charging forth.

Li Yi smelled danger. In this form, the Purple Dragon Demon God’s strength had reached an extremely perilous level. Such combat power was enough to destroy him.

But now was not the time to think about these things.

He circulated his Qi-Blood, controlling his flesh, directly sealing the wound. At the same time, he immediately used Divine Power to cleanse himself, dispelling the demonic power and aiding in the wound’s healing. Then, he lifted his giant axe, once again unleashing all his strength.

Countless golden lights converged, and the Power of Incense accumulated by an entire world burned. Li Yi unleashed an attack, intending to repel that purple Divine Light.

Boom!

With this strike, something unimaginable happened. The Purple Dragon Demon King actually withstood his attack from the giant axe. The mighty power that could split heaven and earth didn’t harm it at all. Instead, the giant axe at the level of a Red Gold Divine Artifact was forcibly knocked aside.

The purple Divine Light came again, this time more ferocious, directly striking Li Yi’s shoulder, brutally tearing open his divine body, nearly splitting him in two.

This level of severe injury was beyond the capability of body control and Qi-Blood manipulation.

A vast amount of divine blood spilled into the air, with countless bolts of lightning weaving together, enveloping Li Yi’s body, as if heaven and earth were aiding this god, unwilling to see him perish in the Demon God Realm.

Li Yi’s aura as the God of Wilderness was rapidly weakening.

Such a sudden change shocked all the top-tier combatants fighting on Earth’s side.

"Taiyi." Xiang Xiangzi, who had just heavily wounded a Demon King and wanted to kill him, got distracted by sensing the changes in heaven and earth. The heavily injured Demon King escaped, but compared to the kill, she was more concerned about Li Yi’s current state.

"This is bad, Taiyi Heavenly Venerate." Eastern Pole Venerable also turned pale, not expecting such a situation.

"Red Mountain God..." The Divine Blood Warriors from the Barbaric World were also shocked, then erupted with endless fury. As warriors of the Red Gold Country, they absolutely couldn’t accept this scene.

"Something’s happened."

The expressions of the five powerful individuals from the military changed. At this moment, they could no longer restrain themselves, abandoning their opponents, and immediately gathering together, heading straight in Li Yi’s direction.

"The Purple Dragon Demon God severely injured Li Yi. Li Yi is about to be defeated, and the strategy has changed." The high-level officials on Earth panicked at this situation.

According to the previous plan, as long as Li Yi held off the Purple Dragon Demon God, the war would be won.

No one anticipated that the Purple Dragon Demon God would be so reckless, suddenly elevating its power to a new height. With just two strikes, Li Yi was severely injured, even narrowly escaping death, which was simply unimaginable.

If even Li Yi was defeated, it would be unlikely that anyone else could match this Purple Dragon Demon God.

And with Li Yi’s severe injury, the morale on the side of the Demon God Realm surged. This indicated that one of the opponent’s top-tier combatants had been defeated. Next, they only needed to take down another top-tier combatant, or even just stall them, and the Demon God Realm could win.

The Demon King thought so, and the Purple Dragon Demon God thought so too, eager to kill Li Yi and eliminate this major threat.

However, in this state, the Purple Dragon Demon God was also paying a great price. Even if Li Yi didn’t act, its body was continuously bleeding. The demon god’s body couldn’t withstand such an extreme condensation of power and was starting to show signs of collapse.
