CHAPTER 970: CHAPTER 758: JADE AND STONE BURN TOGETHER_2

With a two-pronged approach, the demigod was swiftly obliterated.

At present, the second squad’s three Golden Immortals were clearly at a significant disadvantage against the demigod.

The demigod’s will swept over them, and those with Spirit Levels of only the Third or Fourth Rank, even the ordinary Golden Immortals at the Second and Third Ranks, found their thoughts suppressed, unable to cast immortal techniques.

If it weren’t for the distraction provided by the other two Golden Immortals, perhaps a Golden Immortal would have already fallen.

No!

Gu Jinlai’s gaze swept over a vast region, tens of thousands of miles across, filled entirely with chaotic force.

The chaos there was evidently the remnants of the collapse of the Great Dao.

A Golden Immortal had fallen.

Considering that several Golden Immortals were, after all, members of the second squad, Gu Jinlai operated the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi and his figure traversed again.

With the flow of Space Power, he instantly crossed a distance of over a billion miles.

As the demigod sensed something, Gu Jinlai’s figure burst through space, bearing the sharpness of Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi, fiercely attacking.

"Buzz buzz!"

The violent Divine Will swept towards Gu Jinlai in an instant.

But facing Gu Jinlai’s nearly stealthy strike, it was ultimately a fraction too slow.

The Sword Qi struck, causing the space centered on the demigod to collapse into a black hole, and the Power of Destruction spread wantonly from the black hole, tearing the demigod’s body apart.

"Despicable!"

The demigod roared, his Divine Will erupting, and a projection of the Divine Country seemed to appear in the void.

But like Demigod Xiang Guang, who couldn’t gain support from the power of the Divine Country, this demigod faced the same predicament.

However, fearing further complications, Gu Jinlai shouted loudly: "Attack together, kill..."

Before he finished speaking, the three Golden Immortals had already activated an artifact similar to the Breaking Space Mirror and charged into the chaotic space currents, disappearing without a trace.

Gu Jinlai’s eyes turned cold.

These Golden Immortals...

Previously, everyone’s retreat was excusable.

One Divine Spirit, one Divine Calamity, three demigods, those were insurmountable foes.

But now, just one demigod...

"Deserting in the face of battle!? Wait for the Military Department to hold you accountable!"

Gu Jinlai’s Divine Sense Ability erupted, Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi pushed to the limit, instantly annihilating the demigod’s Divine Body and Divine Will.

As the demigod’s Divine Will attempted to reassemble, the Void Projection Technique descended, tracing and erasing his followers just like with Demigod Xiang Guang.

"Who is the Divine Spirit behind you!? You are inciting a god-war!"

The demigod roared, with a vague shadow of a Divine Country behind him.

Obviously, he was continually trying to contact the Divine Lord behind him—Divine Spirit Nie Yu, seeking power from her Divine Country.

But just like Demigod Xiang Guang until death received no response from Nie Yu, this demigod faced the same outcome.

Before long, with the last follower eradicated, this demigod too was powerless to resurrect and vanished into the boundless starry sky.

Feeling the growth of Qingguang in his spirit world, this time, Gu Jinlai did not hesitate further.

He directly chose to enhance the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture.

Theoretically, when confronting Divine Spirits, the higher the Spirit Level, the better.

But even if he used up all these Qingguang, he could only elevate his Divine Sense to the Eighth Rank.

Judging from how Chi Tianyuan with Divine Sense Ability at Ninth Rank was still intimidated by Divine Spirit Nie Yu’s Divine Will, it was clear that Eighth Rank Divine Sense Ability was ineffective on such a battlefield.

Instead, it would be better to enhance the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture, master the Destruction Dao, and exhaustively unleash the power of Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi, then utilize the high maneuverability of the Space Avenue for lightning-fast strikes.

With the enhancement of the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture, Gu Jinlai seemed to witness the collapse of the universe and the destruction of constant stars.

A sense of annihilation, the end of all things, emanated from within him.

Mastering two kinds of Dao in a short time, even though the Devouring Dao and Destruction Dao did not interfere with each other, he still felt a heavy burden on his Divine Sense.

It was like an ordinary person experiencing a lack of oxygen at high altitudes.

However, at this moment, he couldn’t afford to worry about his mild discomfort.

Having sufficient power was enough, everything else could be remedied later.

He glanced at the Lifebound Immortal Skill derived after the perfection of the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture—the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi.

Although the grade of this Sword Qi was only top-grade, it activated extremely quickly, and if used properly, it could have a deterrent effect close to top Immortal Skills.

No wonder the Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor was able to achieve the remarkable feat of defeating nine enemies alone with this Immortal Skill.

However, compared to the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi, Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi was somewhat unimpressive except for its quick activation.

Moreover, after mastering the Destruction Dao, the power of Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi could finally be fully unleashed.

Immortal techniques that encompassed two Daos were known as Compound Immortal Techniques, some powerful Compound Immortal Techniques were alternatively called Supreme Immortal Skills.

Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi clearly met this standard.

"Every demigod provides me with thousands of Qingguang, so what about the Divine Spirits?"

Gu Jinlai’s figure flickered, once again activating Space Avenue Power to forcibly traverse space.

Thousands of Qingguang might not sound like a lot, but when Gu Jinlai purified a world, he often could obtain several thousand.

But...

There were only two ways to gather several thousand Qingguang.

The more traditional method was to rigorously purify a world.

Back then, even with cooperation from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, the Profound Immortal Realm Dominating Force, it still took Gu Jinlai three to five years to purify the Profound Immortal Realm.

Without local forces’ cooperation, it would take at least ten years at the start.

As for the other way...

Using the Thunder Punishment Eye for indiscriminate strikes.

This method had significant drawbacks. Not only might it kill those burdened by Karma due to other factors, but his actions alone would directly align him with the Demon Path, attracting pursuit from top forces.
