CHAPTER 931: CHAPTER 741: SUPREME IMMORTAL SKILL

"The Dark Dao and Nihility Dao are coming to counter my Devouring Dao."

Gu Jinlai intended to test what level he was at among the Great Dao Golden Immortals, so he didn’t hurry to use the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi, instead opting to elevate his Divine Sense ability.

The Divine Sense only creates effects when holding an absolute advantage; even if his Divine Sense reaches the Golden Immortal Seventh Rank, it can’t harm any Golden Immortal above the Fourth Rank with Divine Sense secret techniques. Against those whose Divine Sense is only Second and Third Rank, it at most serves as interference, unable to cause substantive damage.

But...

While it might not be effective in attacking opponents, a powerful Divine Sense can help fully utilize one’s battle power, even foreseeing enemy moves during direct combat.

Using these advantages, when a new round of joint attacks from the two was imminent, Gu Jinlai once again used the Great Chaos Hole skill to restrain them.

As they used the Nihility Dao and Dark Dao to strip away his perception of the Great Chaos Hole skill, he had already dashed toward the fleet behind them.

"Watch out!"

"Fire! Shoot him down!"

The two Great Dao Golden Immortals shouted simultaneously.

Immediately, the main cannons of a fleet of about twenty warships erupted simultaneously, their beams of light penetrating the heavens and earth, with power no less impressive than a strike from the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal.

And twenty Nine Heavens Profound Immortals combining forces...

Such an attack is one that no Great Dao Golden Immortal can easily withstand.

However, warships, after all, are merely warships; their power matches that of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal striking together, but in terms of flexibility, changeability, and stealth, they can’t compare to a true Nine Heavens Profound Immortal.

Just like the Cheng Ying Mecha Gu Jinlai made earlier; its offensive output could rival a True Immortal, but in a real fight, it can only be likened to a Void Immortal.

Using the advantage of his Spiritual Realm, before the twenty warships could focus their fire, he had already perceived the trajectory for evasion and maneuvering.

Facing these twenty energy beams piercing the heavens and earth, he moved like an eagle fighting a storm, soaring against the wind, dodging left and right, flickering and avoiding.

Without resorting to any Divine Skills, he used his body, structured like a dense material, to brutally collide with the lead warship.

The collision between speed and mass released vast amounts of energy, and under endless flames and fierce blasts, the warship was shattered directly by Gu Jinlai.

Before the fragments and flames could scatter, a terrifying Devouring force swept them up, absorbing all the materials and energy into his body, leaving no trace in the air.

At that moment, a force seemingly infused with space-cutting power silently surged forth under the veil of the Dark Dao.

Vaguely, a sword shadow condensed from the Power of Dao could be seen.

The sword shadow sliced through, decomposing all matter into nothingness, its dominance not much inferior to the Devouring Dao.

However, when the two Great Dao Golden Immortals unleashed this extremely dangerous combo, Gu Jinlai had already sensed it.

A moment before the Sword of Nothingness struck his form, he swiftly turned, executing what seemed like a space jump, directly avoiding the strike.

This was a physical phenomenon caused by the spatial distortion from the Devouring Dao’s manipulation of gravity.

Gu Jinlai used the advantage of Divine Sense to cloak the spatial distortion, preventing the two Great Dao Golden Immortal behind from discerning the true nature of this space in the first moment. What they thought was an enigmatic and inevitable strike was thus shrouded from perception, missing its target.

No!

The effect of the spatial distortion created by Gu Jinlai not only caused the attack of the Golden Immortal controlling the Nihility Dao to miss but also "pulled" a warship that originally didn’t exist in that space.

Ultimately, not only was Gu Jinlai unharmed by the strike, but it also annihilated one of their own warships in mid-air.

The hundreds of Devas and True Immortals aboard, including a Profound Immortal, were all wiped out without having time to let out a cry.

"How is it possible? He also masters the Space Avenue!? Huan Ming, we can’t take him down alone!"

"It’s not Space Power; it’s the indirect influence of the Devouring Dao on space causing spatial distortion! But due to his Spiritual Realm being one step higher than ours, we can’t see through this spatial distortion, so it appears as if he masters the Space Avenue, able to shift positions."

The one referred to as Huan Ming was precisely a notorious figure wielding the Nihility Dao, with battle power not inferior to Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor.

He said in a deep voice: "Although he hasn’t cultivated the Space Avenue, his Spiritual Realm may have reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, considerably surpassing us. Alone, we can’t stop him."

"Heavenly Dao Realm!? Above Seventh Rank!? His Divine Sense ability is nearing Golden Immortal peak strength. Combined with a powerful Devouring Dao, such battle power is close to the top Golden Immortal level! Besides Qing Qiong and Lan Kong, when did another such strong figure appear in the Golden Immortal Alliance!?"

The other Golden Immortal exclaimed in surprise.

"Summon Bo Ya Golden Immortal!"

Huan Ming Golden Immortal unhesitatingly sent out a message.

Though Bo Ya Golden Immortal only practices the non-combat-oriented Symbiosis Dao, his Spiritual Realm has reached Golden Immortal Seventh Rank.

He is at the same level as the Golden Immortal Alliance expert before us.

With his assistance, the three can definitely subdue this Golden Immortal from the Golden Immortal Alliance.

However, shortly after his message went out, there was no response.

Meanwhile...

The counterattack from the Wanhua Immortal Sect had already begun in full force.

Earlier, Yunshan Mountain Golden Immortal and Gu Jinlai spoke of letting him contain three fleets, which equals three Golden Immortals, but they were referring to ordinary Golden Immortals.

Yet, Huan Ming ranks as one of the strongest among the ten Golden Immortal Elders, second only to the leader Long Ang.

It could be said that this action was led by Long Ang Golden Immortal, with Huan Ming as support.

Even with Huan Ming Golden Immortal alone, his battle power was not inferior to that of the Supreme Elder of the Wanhua Immortal Sect, Mi Sheng Golden Immortal, reputed as the top expert in the Shu Guang Realm.

Both of them and Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor belong to the same tier of individuals.

Although their Dao may not be as specialized in combat as Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor, facing ordinary Golden Immortals, handling five or six at once is no problem.

Gu Jinlai containing Huan Ming Golden Immortal and another Golden Immortal is equivalent to holding back the battle power of six or seven ordinary Golden Immortals, thus overachieving the mission. In this situation, the resistance of the Wanhua Immortal Sect naturally proceeds smoothly.

The All World Alliance, despite wielding the power of the Eight Great Golden Immortals and having the renowned Long Ang Golden Immortal, is suppressed by the Wanhua Immortal Sect, which holds advantages in location and numbers, and shows signs of being repelled.

In such circumstances, they naturally cannot dispatch additional forces to support Huan Ming Golden Immortal.

This Golden Immortal originally intended to crush Gu Jinlai with the might of a lion against a rabbit and then use the momentum of victory to dampen the spirits of the Wanhua Immortal Sect, but unexpectedly...

Gu Jinlai’s strength was far beyond their expectations, causing the situation to rapidly deteriorate.

Seeing the situation becoming critical for the Wanhua Immortal Sect, Huan Ming hurriedly transmitted a message: "Not long ago, the Golden Immortal Alliance didn’t have someone like Your Excellency, meaning you joined not long ago! Whatever the Golden Immortal Alliance offers you, we offer double! The current situation is very clear; our All World Alliance, led by Yuan Wuji, holds supreme Golden Immortal power, dominating the Star River. The future of this Star Domain is destined to fall under our All World Alliance’s rule. Why go against the heavens, wise bird builds nest wisely, why not join us?"

"The actions and reputation of the All World Alliance, I must say frankly, I cannot agree with."

Gu Jinlai replied.

"Perhaps past events made you misunderstand our All World Alliance, but extreme circumstances justify extreme measures. Those with the courage to act grandly certainly have qualities setting them apart from ordinary people. Doesn’t this prove our All World Alliance’s promising future?"

Seeing Gu Jinlai responding, Huan Ming quickly continued.

Gu Jinlai glanced at the Wanhua Immortal Sect, which held the upper hand, and spoke no more, merely continuing to tangle with the two Golden Immortals and two fleets of the All World Alliance.

As long as he held off the two, within a day the battle’s outcome would surely be decided.

Huan Ming apparently realized this as well, gritting his teeth, he said, "I perceive your Divine Sense is remarkably strong, having also cultivated the Devouring Dao, and possessing profound knowledge of Space. Given your cultivation insight, the battle prowess you display shouldn’t stop at this level. If supplemented with a powerful Immortal Technique, you could fully contend with top-tier Golden Immortals! Coincidentally, we have a supreme sword technique, named Particle Sword Intent."

This famed Golden Immortal fervently ignited his Divine Thought: "This technique derives from a supreme immortal skill, transforming Divine Sense into Sword Intent, then blending with the Devouring Dao’s might, obliterating all. Its power is strong enough to be top-tier among ordinary immortal techniques. Moreover, if Your Excellency could concurrently cultivate the Space Avenue and Destruction Dao in the future, you could complete this technique, transforming it into a true supreme immortal skill."

"Supreme Immortal Skill."

Gu Jinlai was moved inside.

Immortal Techniques, Top-grade Immortal Techniques, Top Immortal Skills, Supreme Immortal Skills, and Supreme Immortal Techniques aren’t ordinary Golden Immortals, famed Golden Immortals, top-tier Golden Immortals, supreme Golden Immortals, or supreme Golden Immortals.

One must know that whether Golden Immortal or Immortal Golden Immortal, they essentially harness the power of Dao to unleash methods, which is using Immortal Techniques.

This quality is similar to Devas mastering Divine Skills.

The difference is, only an Immortal Golden Immortal who has mastered ten levels of Dao can achieve perfection in an Immortal Technique; the rest can only attain entry-level, Small Achievement, or Mahayana Level depending on their Dao compatibility.

Additionally, the hierarchy of Immortal Techniques isn’t merely about power like Divine Skills.

Ordinary immortal techniques, top-grade immortal techniques, and top immortal skills are still ranked by power, but at the level of supreme immortal skills, each involves composite techniques, requiring coordination of multiple Daos.

Hence, supreme immortal skills are also called supreme immortal techniques.

This "supreme" refers to the Immortal Venerable’s supreme positioning.

There is a saying spread around the Heart of the Cosmic.

One who masters supreme immortal skills might not be an Immortal Venerable, but one who perfects supreme immortal skills will surely be a dominant Immortal Venerable.

The reason why there are ordinary, famed, top-tier, and supreme classifications among Great Dao Golden Immortals is influenced by Immortal Golden Immortals.

The higher influencing the lower.

It’s just that Immortal Golden Immortals refer to those supreme beings who are so powerful that they disregard ordinary Immortal Golden Immortals as Immortal Venerables.

"Indeed, supreme immortal skill!"

Huan Ming emphasized heavily.

"Now?"

Gu Jinlai asked.

"This... Such a technique is naturally stored in our All World Alliance’s central treasury, if you want it, you’ll have to follow me to the All World Alliance..."

Huan Ming explained.

"Got it."

Gu Jinlai nodded, and continued to unleash the Great Chaos Hole Skill upon him.

A supreme immortal technique that combines three Daos used as an empty promise?

As if he didn’t have it himself.
