CHAPTER 978: CHAPTER 761: RESCUE

Give it a try!

Among his mastery of the four Daos, surely one suits the divine calamity before him.

Gu Jinlai’s powerful divine sense directly activates the Devouring Dao, drawing upon the power of the Creation Dao.

"Fwoosh!"

As Yuan Mou’s body is pierced, this time, what spreads is not the Power of Destruction but the Power of Creation.

A force containing the Five Elements Transformation, creating something from nothing, swiftly emerges in that divine calamity.

In an instant, the divine calamity’s body trembles violently.

"A single immortal technique contains three kinds of Dao!?"

Its form suddenly explodes, transforming into azure blue light, attempting to flee at the speed of flowing light.

Yet this time, disrupted by the Creation Dao’s trait of manifesting from nothing, though it lightened itself, it seemed burdened by a thousand-pound weight, directly intercepted by Gu Jinlai’s second Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi.

"The effect of the Creation Dao is unexpectedly good?"

Gu Jinlai is somewhat surprised.

But soon considers it reasonable.

The Creation Dao was originally among the top ten Daos, dragged down from the divine pedestal because of the few evil gods able to degrade it, causing its ranking to fall constantly.

But obviously, the divine calamity before him lacks the ability to degrade the Creation Dao.

Since the Creation Dao inflicts such significant harm on this evil god...

Gu Jinlai’s gaze falls on the third lifebound immortal skill derived from the Chaos Holy Scripture — Devouring Starry Sky.

In terms of drawing upon the Creation Dao, this technique surpasses the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi.

With this thought in mind, he flashes forward, appearing beside Yuan Mou.

"Devour!"

As divine sense reverberates, an unparalleled force of devouring erupts from him, instantly enveloping the divine calamity within.

"Do you truly wish to burn together with me?"

Yuan Mou roars, azure blue radiance continually emits from him, washing over the Dao power activated by Gu Jinlai’s Devouring Starry Sky immortal technique.

Strictly speaking, it penetrates the Dao power to incite divine sense power, further infiltrating his soul.

However, neither the Devouring Dao nor the Creation Dao can be degraded by the divine calamity, and Gu Jinlai’s spirit level has improved to the tenth rank, substantially enhancing resistance to spiritual erosion.

Moreover, deep within Gu Jinlai’s soul lies a layer of True Spirit for defense.

Though his True Spirit is considerably weaker compared to a tenth-rank divine sense, it manages to recover using Qingguang.

Furthermore, Yuan Mou’s spiritual erosion, weakened by the Devouring Dao, Creation Dao, and divine sense power, has little remaining, allowing Gu Jinlai to bear the divine calamity’s counterattack, his Devouring Starry Sky immortal technique continuously operating, crushing, tearing apart the divine calamity’s body.

In successive obliterations, this divine calamity’s form visibly dims, unable to even sustain the form of Chi Tianyuan, left to drift toward the Cosmic Starry Sky.

"A Golden Immortal... I, Yuan Mou, possessed limitless prospects, achieving Ancient Godhood, surpassing my own form would not have been unattainable, yet... defeated by a Golden Immortal..."

Yuan Mou’s emotional fluctuations brim with ferocity and rage.

But above all is deep unwillingness.

He realizes that given his current state, escaping Gu Jinlai’s grasp is unlikely.

"I am unwilling! I am unwilling! Since my birth of consciousness just thirty years ago, I have boundless life, boundless future... I am unwilling..."

As more of his body is annihilated into azure blue light scattered into the starry sky, the divine calamity suddenly roars, powerful spiritual fluctuations crazily assaulting Gu Jinlai, directly penetrating his soul.

"Even if I die, I’ll make sure you regret it! Wait, my original form will find you! Kill you! Avenge me!"

Amidst the divine calamity’s furious outburst, the spiritual power infiltrating Gu Jinlai’s soul turns suddenly fervent, ultimately etched upon him like a brand.

After leaving the imprint, Yuan Mou raged with unwilling roars: "You will regret your actions today..."

The next moment, his last trace of spiritual power is shredded by the Devouring Starry Sky’s force, thoroughly dissolving into azure blue radiance, illuminating the starry sky spanning millions of miles.

"Whoosh!"

Transforming back from a black hole, Gu Jinlai returns to human form, exhaling heavily.

He senses the imprint branded upon his soul, frowning slightly.

Killing an evil god avatar often leaves an imprint, bringing potential hazards.

However, many times, the true evil god residing within the Heart of the Cosmic is constrained, making these hazards difficult to materialize swiftly.

But according to Divine Calamity Yuan Mou, the ancient evil god Yuan Huang invested vast efforts, energy into this plan, only to have it ruined by him...

The likelihood of hazard becoming a crisis is presumably high.

"Seems I should distance myself from the front lines."

Gu Jinlai muses.

Reflecting on how even a newly ascended divine spirit could provide him with tens of thousands of Qingguang, and even a demigod, begins with over a thousand Qingguang...

He already had some ideas.

Perhaps like Liu Wanhu and others, patrolling the various realms of the New Fire Star Sea and hunting down divine spirits and demigods, was the most suitable business for him.

As he contemplated, he took a step into the void and quickly found Chi Tianyuan drifting in the starry sky.

The clash between a Golden Immortal and a Divine Calamity would not be earth-shattering, nor would it destroy the heavens and the earth, and this Supreme Golden Immortal did not suffer any collateral damage.

However, after inspecting briefly, Gu Jinlai’s heart quickly sank.

The injuries of Chi Tianyuan...

were too severe.

The Destruction Dao and Space Avenue within him had already collapsed.

The only reason he was still "alive" was due to the residual traits of the Dao.

Like a cluster of flames burning to its utmost, leaving only ashes.

"Unless an Immortal Golden Immortal who cultivates the Destruction Dao and one who cultivates the Space Avenue personally come to help him sort out the collapsed Dao within him, otherwise he will undoubtedly die within an hour."

This was the conclusion Gu Jinlai came to.

However, since Evil Gods cannot dissolve the Destruction Dao and Space Avenue, such Immortal Golden Immortals are all on the front lines. It would be hard to gather even a single Immortal Golden Immortal in the entire Cold Moon Star Domain, let alone two at the same time.

And all within just one hour.

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

He looked at Chi Tianyuan, and involuntarily, the feats of this Supreme Golden Immortal emerged in his mind.

Compared to the Donghua Golden Immortal, this captain of the second squad had a life more worthy of legend.

He was born in a world under extreme oppression, like a demonic den.

All living beings in the world were cultivation materials raised by the World Master, that Great Dao Golden Immortal used humans as pills, and every being born in that world lived amidst dire suffering.

Chi Tianyuan rose from insignificance in such an environment, with one man and one sword, he carved out a bright sky, ultimately slaying that Great Dao Golden Immortal who had fallen into evil paths with his Nine Heavens Profound Immortal body, and attained the position of Golden Immortal.

For thousands of years thereafter, he traversed the starry sky with the sharpness of the Destruction Dao and Space Avenue, gaining the illustrious reputation of a Supreme Golden Immortal.

The No-Self Immortal Venerable of the Void Sword Sect personally issued a decree, admitting him into the Void Sword Sect, intending to make him a direct disciple.

But he believed the environment of the Void Sword Sect was too comfortable, not conducive to honing the edge of a Supreme Sword Immortal, and left the Void Sword Sect in less than ten years to wander the universe alone.

It is said that this scene angered the No-Self Immortal Venerable, who directly scolded him as a rotten wood that cannot be carved.

Such was a Supreme Golden Immortal that even an Immortal Venerable took notice of, who strove all his life, and was just a step away from the Immortal Golden Immortal Realm, yet died in this nameless starry sky, fallen at the hands of a Divine Calamity.

The cruelty of the Cultivation World was vividly enacted upon him.

"Why didn’t you run away when I was chasing Nie Yu? Why did you insist on a death struggle with Yuan Mou, not knowing that extreme rigidity leads to breakage?"

Gu Jinlai looked at Chi Tianyuan, murmuring to himself: "A Daoist of the Destruction Dao and Space Avenue...where to find them? Even if you were in the Void Sword Sect and became a direct disciple of the No-Self Immortal Venerable, he couldn’t find you such two Daoists in just an hour."

He watched as Chi Tianyuan’s life force grew increasingly dim, on the brink of extinguishing.

Silent.

After a while, he suddenly stepped forward: "Fortunately, you met me."

He directly activated the Void Projection Technique, projecting onto Chi Tianyuan, while his mind immersed into the Spirit world of the Qing Lian, two newly born lotus leaves swaying in the wind.

In this peculiar state, the Destruction Dao and Space Avenue held almost no secrets in his eyes.

Coupled with the state of Void Projection Technique, he used his own Destruction Dao and Space Avenue as coordinates, causing the collapsing Destruction Dao and Space Avenue within Chi Tianyuan to resonate. For a moment, the two chaotic and disorderly Dao within him were incredibly corrected back.

Along with this, his state of being was also forcefully pulled back from the brink of death.

For a whole hour, when Gu Jinlai sensed that the Destruction Dao and Space Avenue within Chi Tianyuan were no longer collapsing, he quickly withdrew the Void Projection Technique.

Almost simultaneously, Chi Tianyuan opened his eyes.

Without explanation, Gu Jinlai only said: "Recover your state as soon as possible, to prevent future troubles."

Chi Tianyuan looked at him, ultimately asking nothing, only nodded heavily, and soon began to operate his own Destruction Dao and Space Avenue to recover with full force.

Three hours later, Gu Jinlai seemed to sense something and gazed toward the distant starry sky.

In that region, the starry sky rippled with waves, and a Star Shuttle suddenly broke through space, appearing in this dark place.

The moment the Star Shuttle appeared, an aura belonging to an Immortal Golden Immortal spread in all directions, enveloping the entire Star Domain.

Simultaneously appearing were Ming Zun, the Vice Corps Commander of the Cold Moon Army, as well as a powerful male and female Golden Immortal surrounding him.

"Military Leader."

Gu Jinlai stepped forward and gave a slight bow.

Ming Zun’s gaze first fell on Chi Tianyuan. Sensing that he was still alive, he exhaled slightly before asking, "Where is that Divine Calamity?"

"The Divine Calamity was already heavily injured after battling Nie Yu. Capturing Chi Tianyuan was the limit of its strength. I sensed its weakness, launched a surprise attack, and finally, after a life-and-death struggle, managed to slay it."

Gu Jinlai slowly spoke, simultaneously taking out the Moonlight Order: "Please, Military Leader, take a look."
