CHAPTER 973: CHAPTER 759: FIERCE BATTLE

"Boom!"

The divine body collapsed.

Nie Yu turned her head.

At some point, a Golden Immortal of the Human Clan, who had seemingly fled earlier, reappeared on the battlefield, and then...

Unleashed a power comparable to a strike from a Supreme Golden Immortal, directly destroying her divine body.

"A Golden Immortal..."

Anger began to blaze in Nie Yu’s eyes.

Her expression even twisted somewhat.

She is a Divine Spirit! Even if recently ascended, a Divine Spirit is absolutely not something that an un-Immortal Golden Immortal can...

"Boom!"

Before this Divine Spirit’s anger could fully erupt, the form of Divine Calamity Yuan Mou in the center of the Divine Country swelled dramatically, manifesting a towering body hundreds of thousands of meters tall, as if a star appeared out of thin air, emanating endless azure radiance that shone all around, seizing the opportunity as Nie Yu’s divine body collapsed to forcibly explode this Divine Spirit’s Divine Country.

"Hahaha! Who is the final victor!? It is I!"

Yuan Mou laughed wantonly.

"!!!"

Nie Yu widened her eyes in shock, but...

At this moment, she dared not show any arrogance.

Her remaining will seemed to suddenly recover, and the shattered Divine Country surprisingly condensed into a phantasm.

This is...

Another Demigod.

A Demigod, evolved into a subordinate god when a Level 9 Holy Spirit receives the power bestowed by a Divine Spirit.

Though they can become quite powerful through their own cultivation, their strength ultimately comes from the Divine Spirit behind them, who can reclaim their power at any time if willing.

Just like now...

By absorbing the power of the subordinate god, Nie Yu quite literally regained a wave of her vitality, pulling herself back from the brink of death.

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, not daring to even leave a harsh word, she forcibly invoked the Space Avenue, tore the void, and threw herself into it with the utmost speed.

Escape!

With the Divine Country already shattered, continuing the fight...

Even if she is known as one of the most difficult-to-kill Divine Spirit systems, there remains a risk of falling.

Yuan Mou glanced at her, considering how many believers Nie Yu might have, and if it might take billions of kills to truly end her, he estimated that the Cold Moon Army had already surrounded this star domain, so he did not pursue her.

His massive form swiftly turned, azure light shining brightly, he directly entered stream speed, rushing towards Chi Tianyuan.

After defeating Nie Yu, he has to carry out his real mission.

As for the previous promise to spare Chi Tianyuan...

No one, including Chi Tianyuan himself, took it seriously.

"Divine Calamity!"

Chi Tianyuan looked at the approaching Yuan Mou.

Consumed by the Holy Spirit Fire, the Divine Calamity’s power was already depleted, therefore...

Even though Yuan Mou appeared as fierce as ever, this Supreme Golden Immortal showed no hint of fear in his eyes.

"Battle!"

Sword light soared to the sky.

With Space Avenue and Destruction Dao working in tandem, the space ahead of Divine Calamity Yuan Mou crumbled into fragments where his sword blade pointed.

"I have sent out a distress signal, you focus on entangling! Hold out until Army Commander Ming Zun arrives for reinforcement! I will track down that Divine Spirit, otherwise allowing her to escape and hide will become a grave threat to the Cold Moon Star Domain!"

Gu Jinlai transmitted with Divine Thought, the fluctuations of the Universe Light Without Boundary Immortal Technique circulated over his body, immediately following, he plunged into the turbulent flow of space.

Chi Tianyuan did not look at Gu Jinlai.

At this time, his entire Spiritual Will was locked onto the Divine Calamity before him.

Entangle?

Having been suppressed by Nie Yu’s will, and then subdued spiritually by Yuan Mou making movement difficult, now he felt a fire burning in his spirit.

What he needs to do now is ignite this flame, either unleash it spectacularly, burning brightly, illuminating all directions.

Or...

Burn into ash, leaving nothing behind in this starry sky.

...

In the ripples of the Space Avenue, Gu Jinlai, utilizing Universe Light Without Boundary, moved forward fluidly like a fish.

In mere moments, he had already caught the traces of Nie Yu.

With a slight motion of his virtual hand, space trembled.

Nie Yu, traversing through space waves, was directly shaken out.

Deeply understanding Nie Yu’s strength, Gu Jinlai took a deep breath, igniting his divine sense, simultaneously invoking Devouring Dao and Destruction Dao, then promptly emerged from the space.

As Nie Yu unfolded her Divine Country once more, the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi had already penetrated the void, crashing down.

"A Golden Immortal! You truly are... astonishingly bold!"

Nie Yu’s mind filled with humiliation and anger.

A Golden Immortal!

Since when did Golden Immortals dare to hunt down Divine Spirits!?

Recalling that it was this very Golden Immortal’s sudden ambush that caused her advantageous situation to crumble, her humiliation swiftly turned into boundless killing intent.

"I want you dead!"

Along with a low growl, this Divine Spirit’s Divine Will transformed into a lofty mountain, fiercely crashing into Gu Jinlai’s mental world.

In an instant, Gu Jinlai felt as if his divine sense was being pounded by a great hammer, his mind shook, and his consciousness almost came to a standstill.

But...

At this moment, what Nie Yu ultimately possesses is only the power of that subordinate god.

Despite relying on the ferocity of the Divine Will to almost freeze Gu Jinlai’s consciousness, without a divine body, even if Gu Jinlai’s reactions were extremely slow, she still couldn’t launch a decent counterattack.

Therefore, although she seemed filled with murderous intent, wishing to perish together with Gu Jinlai, her actions were extremely rational, taking advantage of his delayed mind to once again traverse space and escape far away.

"Heh, Golden Immortal? I’ll kill you all the same!"

Gu Jinlai collected his divine sense, the Great Dao flowing around him, pursuing relentlessly.

The Lifebound Immortal Skill derived from the Boundaryless Chapter, Universe Light Without Boundary, does not greatly enhance battle power, but every art has its specialty.

In terms of traversing space and capturing space fluctuations, even Chi Tianyuan, who also cultivates the Space Law and has a 90% matching degree with it, can’t compare.

In just a moment, Gu Jinlai had caught up with Nie Yu again and forced her out from the space fluctuations.

"Damn!"

Nie Yu was shocked and angry.

If things continued this way, by the time the Immortal Golden Immortal of the Cold Moon Army arrived, she would be dead.

With this urgency and anger, the Divine Will of this Divine Spirit once again crushed over.

"Die!"

"Whoosh!"

This time, what responded to her was not the extremely destructive Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi, but the rapidly executed Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi.

As Nie Yu’s will shook Gu Jinlai’s divine sense, the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi had already swept across her body, shattering her body on the spot.

With her body dispersed, her collective will was forced to disintegrate.

"A Golden Immortal... actually forced me to this extent..."

Nie Yu’s eyes were filled with anger, and at the same time, a hint of panic.

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Jinlai struggled out of the will’s shock, and by the time Nie Yu drew her collective will to reform her body, the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi slashed out again.

Unlike the last time, this time, along with the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi, the Void Projection Technique activated by the True Spirit was also released.

"Hmm!?"

In the Void Projection Technique state, Nie Yu quickly realized something: "This kind of power... Are you a Divine Spirit!? No, this is Evil God’s power! Decomposing the Will of All Living Beings along the Divine Will..."

The next moment, she already felt a large number of her followers, belonging to her Divine System, being wiped out.

Immediately, her suspicion was confirmed.

"You are not a Golden Immortal! You are an Evil God!? An Evil God pretending to be a Great Dao Golden Immortal!?"

The condensed will resounded in Gu Jinlai’s divine sense like a bell.

But Gu Jinlai seemed not to hear, the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi slashed out like lightning.

Whenever Nie Yu had any tendency to gather her collective will into unity, he would disperse her with the fastest speed.

"Stop... we have no enmity between us..."

Nie Yu’s will conveyed the message.

But then she seems to realize that between Divine Spirits and Divine Spirits, between Evil Gods and Divine Spirits, there is no need to discuss any grudges.

In those days, the Divine Spirits and the Immortal Golden Immortal united to seal the Evil God in the Heart of the Cosmic, which is the greatest enmity.

"Evil God, stop, otherwise, I will inform the Immortal of the Human Clan, and by then, under the pursuit of the Human Clan’s Immortal, you will also die with me!"

Nie Yu shouted.

What responded to her was once again the Void Projection Technique that descended after her collective will was shattered.

"You..."

Nie Yu forcefully condensed her will, turning into a divine light to impact Gu Jinlai’s divine sense.

As his divine sense was shaken, she once again rushed into space at the fastest speed.

But before she could get far, Gu Jinlai had already closely followed her.

Their control power over the Space Avenue was on different levels, making it impossible for Nie Yu to escape far before being forced out.

Then what awaited her was the dual strike of the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi and the Void Projection Technique.

Yet, even so, this great battle lasted for three days.

If Gu Jinlai hadn’t reserved some Qingguang for recovery, Nie Yu might have exhausted him to collapse before he could wear her down.

The resilience and tenacity of the Divine Spirits were displayed vividly at this moment.

However, as more and more of Nie Yu’s followers were annihilated, her struggling power weakened.

In the end, her Divine Will could no longer affect Gu Jinlai, helplessly watching him use the Void Projection Technique to completely annihilate her followers.

At the moment her followers were wiped out, this Divine Spirit finally stopped resisting.

"Evil Gods, Divine Spirits, all have a common enemy, which is the Immortal... why must we come to this."

Nie Yu murmured.

"Sorry, I am also a Golden Immortal."

Gu Jinlai said calmly.

A sweep of the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi, and this Divine Spirit was utterly obliterated.

Her Divine Will completely annihilated, even Gu Jinlai’s Void Projection Technique could not sense it anymore.

"Phew!"

After confirming Nie Yu’s fall, through the Qingguang feedback of the Spirit World Qing Lian, Gu Jinlai let out a long breath.

An unprecedented fatigue welled up in his heart.

The impact of this fatigue made his thinking operation stiff, affecting his divine sense.

He could determine that his Spiritual Realm had dropped by at least two ranks.

From Seventh Rank down to Fifth Rank.

The Qingguang can restore the True Spirit, but the repeated division of divine sense into billions, eradicating billions of followers, still brought great hidden dangers.

If he did not have confidence in Qing Lian, any other Great Dao Golden Immortal at this moment would have essentially destroyed their foundation on the path of divine sense, burying their future as an Immortal Golden Immortal.

This is also why Nie Yu said, "Why must we come to this."

Fortunately, after a fierce battle, he finally managed to wear down this Divine Spirit, becoming the ultimate victor.
