CHAPTER 1105: CHAPTER 828: MUDDY WATERS

"A bunch of paupers."

Gu Jinlai looked somewhat speechless at the coordinates given by the other party.

They will place a Supreme Immortal Artifact at those coordinates.

This Supreme Immortal Artifact is the reward for selling this information.

This is because he swore on the Ancient God Yuanhuang, claiming it was exclusive information, only sold to the Eye of True Knowledge.

Otherwise, one or two Top-Grade Immortal Devices would have been a nice reward.

"The Eye of True Knowledge is really stingy."

Gu Jinlai made a sarcastic remark and then contacted another intelligence agency again.

"Are you there? Do you want information on ten Immortal Artifacts?"

...

Ten Immortal Artifacts, not to mention, is a huge fortune even for the Divine King, let alone the Divine Emperor.

He believed that once he leaked the transaction location, it would certainly attract more Divine Spirits, aiming to plunder the bait of these ten Immortal Artifacts.

The battle between Divine Spirits and Immortal Golden Immortals is essentially a fight between the Divine Body and the Immortal Golden Immortal’s true form.

But the upper limit of the Divine Body is the Golden Immortal.

Even if they could achieve a Great Dao compatibility of 99%, they are still Golden Immortals.

The only difference is the Divine Emperor’s Divine Will is powerful enough to affect even the Twelfth Rank Spirit of the Immortal Golden Immortal.

"With the advantage of Divine Will, a Golden Immortal level Divine Body can almost rival me before breaking through to the Immortal Realm, and with the supplementation of Immortal Artifacts, they aren’t much less than I was."

Gu Jinlai slightly evaluated.

Especially compared to him, even if the Divine Body of the Divine Emperor was destroyed, the Divine Emperor itself would not be harmed.

In this aspect, if the Divine Emperor truly had ten or eight Immortal Artifacts, they would be more troublesome than he was before breaking through to the Immortal.

This is also why the Divine Emperor could be compared to the Cultivation Venerable Qian Jixiu.

"Based on my years of experience, an ordinary Divine Spirit, according to their promotion time, the number of Holy Spirits, and their actions, can yield between ten thousand to one hundred thousand Qingguang when killed, while the Divine King can yield between ten thousand to fifty thousand..."

Beyond that, the Divine Emperor can even encompass between one hundred thousand to one million.

After all, it’s impossible for a Divine Emperor to be a pure and innocent little creature.

Additionally, the vast difference is also related to the different styles of various Divine Spirits.

It’s not unusual for some Divine Spirits to exceed a Divine King’s Qingguang count, or gain more Qingguang by destroying a Divine King than a Divine Emperor, which is consistent with reason.

"Stir the waters, so I can fish smoothly."

Gu Jinlai lifted his head slightly.

By now, he had crossed the Yanhuang Star Domain and arrived at the neighboring Ashen Star Domain.

He had already stirred some trouble over in the Yanhuang Star Domain with the Longxiang Realm, and if he caused such a big ruckus again, it would quickly attract the attention of God Emperor Leize.

Although he was already prepared to be exposed and hunted by the entire Ten Thousand Gods Realm, maybe he could hide for one more day, allowing him to hunt more Divine Spirits.

Hunting Divine Spirits not only reduces the harm of the Divine Spirit system to the cosmic beings but also yields rich rewards and valuable spoils of war.

He has already made this his mid-term goal.

To execute continuously until becoming a Great Power.

The Ashen Star Domain was named after a battle turned dozens of worlds and countless stars into dust, forming a dense asteroid belt.

The transaction location Gu Jinlai preset was within this asteroid belt spanning ten light years.

He had been here for half a month, expecting the leaked transaction location to ferment before taking out the Divine Origin Plate again and quickly sending the message to a batch of people.

"The message has leaked, we need to trade in advance. Quickly, reach the coordinates I gave you with the fastest speed. Don’t wait."

Gu Jinlai sent this message to the first group of Divine Spirits.

Then, he sent the message to the second group again: "The situation has changed, the transaction is delayed, wait for my further message."

But it didn’t end there; he sent the message to the third group: "There’s a traitor, halt the trade."

He arranged them one by one, perfectly staggering the time for these thousand Divine Spirits, Divine Kings, Divine Emperors.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter if something imperfect and unexpected happened.

Because...

"Now I am not Divine Calamity Yuan Miao, but a Golden Immortal, Ancient Immortal Venerable."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly, quietly waiting in the starry sky.

The first group he sent was the Divine Spirits proficient in the Space Dao, or simply those with Space Immortal Artifacts.

These Divine Spirits were extremely fast.

Gu Jinlai only waited for half a month before seeing streams of light enter the asteroid belt.

Upon arriving at the asteroid belt, these Divine Spirits sent messages one after another: "Yuan Miao, we’ve arrived, where are you?"

"Not everyone is here yet, wait a moment."

Gu Jinlai responded, saying: "Be careful, don’t let other Divine Spirits track you. It’s best to do a self-check and see if anyone is following."

These Divine Spirits, upon receiving the reminder from Gu Jinlai, became more cautious.

However, most of the Divine Spirits present had only come with incarnations, while only three True Bodies descended, showcasing their caution.

But ultimately, considering the Immortal Artifacts involved, Gu Jinlai was certain these Divine Spirits’ True Bodies must be nearby.

"Whether it’s True Body or not doesn’t really matter. Incarnation, which is the distributed power of Divine Sense, allows me to use the Void Projection Technique to find their True Body’s location."

At that moment, Gu Jinlai stepped out from the asteroid belt.

Relying on his precise control over the Space Power, he appeared right in the center of these Divine Spirits, before they could react, directly summoned the Endless World Immortal Artifact, and captured them all.

"A group of Divine Spirits dare to run wild in my Ashen Star Domain? It might be understandable if one or two sneaked in and went unnoticed, but to infiltrate hundreds of Divine Spirits, do you truly think we in the Ashen Star Domain are blind!? Today, none of you will leave the Ashen Star Domain alive!"

Gu Jinlai’s Divine Thought rippled throughout the Endless World.

"Immortal Golden Immortal! This is an Immortal Golden Immortal!? Why is there an Immortal Golden Immortal here!?"

"Didn’t you hear? Hundreds of Divine Spirits have entered the Ashen Star Domain! Hundreds! Are those Divine Spirits crazy!? One or two sneaking in can be overlooked, even three to five if careful might avoid detection by the Ashen Star Domain’s defense system, but hundreds of Divine Spirits flooding into the Ashen Star Domain, do they really think the Immortal Golden Immortal of the Ashen Star Domain doesn’t exist? Are they seeking death in such a way!?"

"For ten Immortal Artifacts, are these Divine Spirits discarding their lives? Hundreds of Divine Spirits, why even sneak in!? You might as well directly attack the Ashen Star Domain!"

In the Endless World, one Divine Spirit after another was extremely enraged.

But Gu Jinlai didn’t intend to waste time with them.

Void Flow, Silence Returns to Destruction, and Lonely Night, the three Immortal Artifacts, flashed simultaneously.

The next moment, driven by the Thirteenth Rank Divine Sense Ability, the Great Daos of Space, Destruction, and Devouring were invoked, unleashing destructive power that did not fall short of an Immortal Venerable’s strike, erupting among the Divine Spirits.

Even though the faster-reacting Divine Spirits noticed they were trapped in the Endless World, and summoned their respective Immortal Artifacts intending to break free, in the face of true Immortal Venerable level terrifying might, it made no difference whether it was a Supreme Golden Immortal Level Divine Body or a Supreme Golden Immortal Level Divine Body.

It’s like bombarding a sandcastle with electromagnetic cannon shells!

One strike!

The numerous Divine Spirits, including the spaces they occupied, were all shattered, crumbling into countless fragments.

Immediately, the fragmented spaces were bound and gathered by the erupting power of Devouring and then ground into void by the power of Destruction Dao.

Apart from the Immortal Artifacts he intentionally spared, every Divine Body was annihilated in just a single blow.

"Immortal Venerable! Immortal Venerable! This is an Immortal Venerable!"

"How could the Human Clan react so quickly!? They’ve already dispatched an Immortal Venerable to deal with us!?"

"No! No! Flee! Quickly flee!"

The terrified Divine Will scattered from the crumbled void.

The Particle Sword Intent merely shattered the Divine Bodies of these Divine Spirits and did not truly kill them.

Even if the Divine Spirits had crafted enough Divine Bodies, they could replace them like switching out a damaged mecha, without any impact on their own strength.

However, when confronted with other Immortal Venerables, the Divine Spirits usually sacrificed only one Divine Body as the price.

But against Gu Jinlai...

With a mere wave of his hand, he directly severed the Endless World.

Immediately, his gaze fell upon those Divine Spirits who had descended in True Body form, in the Spirit World, Qing Lian swayed.

The overwhelming Thirteenth Rank Spirit, under the influence of Qing Lian, surged like a tsunami towards the Divine Spirits who had descended in their True Bodies, and the power of decomposing and annihilating everything immediately filled the eyes of these Divine Spirits with uncontrollable terror.

"Power of Decomposition!? This is Power of Decomposition! How could an Immortal Venerable master such power!?"

"Evil God Decomposition... What is truly going on? Who are you!? Yuan Miao! You are the Divine Calamity Yuan Miao who was supposed to trade with us!?"

The agitated and unwilling Divine Will pervaded the Divine Countries of several Divine Spirits.

But Gu Jinlai had no intention of responding to them.

The powerful Divine Thought swept over their Divine Countries like crushing decay, accompanied by the unleashed Particle Sword Intent.

Under the Particle Sword Intent, these Divine Countries were "physically" collapsed, falling apart.

Without their Divine Countries to consolidate all their Holy Spirit power, the remaining Holy Spirits were like wheat swept by a storm, toppling one after another.

Soon, these several Divine Spirits were swiftly slain by Gu Jinlai with overwhelming force.

"As long as you know the method, Divine Spirits are easier to kill than Immortal Golden Immortals."

Gu Jinlai said.

Of course, his method isn’t something ordinary people can master.

Whether the Evil Gods have mastered abilities similar to Void Projection Technique is probably an unknown factor.

After exterminating these Divine Spirits, Gu Jinlai once again located the Divine Spirits who only descended as incarnations.

Even though these Divine Spirits cautiously only sent incarnations, in front of Gu Jinlai who possessed the Void Projection Technique, it made no difference with a true descent.

It’s merely that upon annihilating these Divine Spirits, he couldn’t seize the Immortal Artifacts they carried.

Moreover, this method of extermination somewhat resembles Divine Spirit warfare.

Just like how a powerful Divine Spirit with Divine Will crushes and dismantles another Divine Spirit’s Divine Will.

Thus, even if later the Divine Emperor or Divine King from the Ten Thousand Gods Realm comes to investigate, they won’t suspect Yuan Miao.

After all, Divine Spirit warfare, what business would it have with a Divine Calamity?

"Doing this kind of thing frequently will eventually cause problems, but as long as it happens before I ascend to the Fourteenth Rank, even Fifteenth Rank, even if problems arise, I can handle it calmly."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly.

His figure flickered as he extricated himself from the Endless World.

Are there truly hundreds of Divine Spirits sneaking into the Ashen Star Domain?

Of course now there aren’t.

But...

Gu Jinlai took out the Divine Origin Plate and relayed the message to another group: "I have arrived, come swiftly, or miss the opportunity."

"Immediately."

Very soon, a response came from the other side.

Gu Jinlai satisfactorily put away the Divine Origin Plate.

Now, there are hundreds of Divine Spirits sneaking into the Ashen Star Domain, aren’t there?

Proof is conclusive.

"Hundreds of Divine Spirits, alarming an Immortal Venerable, the Divine Spirits all think it’s justified, blame it on too many people coveting those ten Immortal Artifacts."

As for whether these hundreds of Divine Spirits were genuinely intent on trading and not with ulterior motives as per the information from the Eye of True Knowledge?

Who knows?
