CHAPTER 997: CHAPTER 768: COUNTERATTACK (PART 4)

"No! No! Gu Jinlai... spare me..."

Hao Tianqing cried out in terror.

But before he could finish his sentence, the power of the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi, with its overwhelming force, swept over him.

This top-tier Golden Immortal’s Immortal Body shattered instantly, his unwilling gaze erased into nothingness by the Power of Destruction Dao.

A Golden Immortal is neither a Divine Spirit nor an Evil God.

A Divine Spirit is sustained by collective will; unless all its followers are exterminated, they will revive repeatedly.

An Evil God’s power comes from spirituality, and without eradicating their Spiritual Power, they cannot be truly killed.

Compared to these two life-preserving systems, Golden Immortals may have various divine skills, but their vitality is indeed incredibly fragile.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Jinlai emerged, traversing through space.

With a flick of his hand, the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi dispersed, and several Immortal Artifacts were swept out from the dissipating Power of Destruction.

What caught his slight attention was the presence of one Supreme Immortal Artifact and three top-grade Immortal Artifacts among them.

The most outstanding among the three top-grade Immortal Artifacts was a Jade Seal, whose quality was close to supreme.

The only Supreme Immortal Artifact was the Flowing Light Shuttle.

"So wealthy?"

There was a hint of surprise in Gu Jinlai’s eyes.

However, he quickly realized something.

This was normal.

The probability of a top-tier Golden Immortal having a Supreme Immortal Artifact isn’t high, but one in three wouldn’t miss the mark.

Hao Tianqing was not only a top-tier Golden Immortal but also a Vice Alliance Hierarch of the All Worlds Alliance.

In the past decade, the All Worlds Alliance had been waging war everywhere, amassing numerous treasures. Gathering three top-grade Immortal Artifacts and one Supreme Immortal Artifact as his assets was not surprising.

"Murder and arson bring gold belts."

Pillaging has always been the fastest means of accumulating wealth.

"He should have had several ordinary Immortal Artifacts, but... the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi was too overbearing, and ordinary Immortal Artifacts were directly obliterated by the Power of Destruction, leaving these top-grade Immortal Artifacts slightly damaged, cutting their price in half..."

Gu Jinlai glanced at the starship that had been entirely devoured: "This is merely because my mastery of the Destruction Dao is not yet perfected. If my Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi reached perfection, not to mention ordinary Immortal Artifacts, even top-grade and Supreme Immortal Artifacts wouldn’t have left a single residue."

After observing for a moment, he quickly gathered these spoils of war.

To ensure that a top-tier Golden Immortal didn’t escape, he had to go all out, eventually shattering several Immortal Artifacts, as well as the starship which was worth even more than most space Immortal Artifacts; it was inevitable.

"A Supreme Immortal Artifact could, when exchanged for ordinary Immortal Artifacts, be worth a hundred-fold... if I could get three or forty such Artifacts... I’d have enough materials to craft the Small World surrounding Longevity World and Blue Star."

The All Worlds Alliance was composed of countless worlds about to be destroyed by the Xuanhuang Realm.

These worlds would often carry their respective sects’ assets with them before departing.

Especially Yuan Wuji, the Supreme Golden Immortal; it was said that his ability to operate under Zhou Huang’s watchful eye was due to possessing a family heirloom, an Immortal Immortal Instrument.

Relying on the Immortal Immortal Instrument, coupled with his pinnacle cultivation in all aspects, he possessed the battle power of a Supreme Golden Immortal.

If that Immortal Immortal Instrument could be obtained...

It would instantly complete a third of the materials needed to cast the Small World.

With this thought, Gu Jinlai swept the battlefield, then deployed the Star Shuttle again, activating the Universe Light Without Boundary, headed straight toward the All Worlds Alliance’s location.

...

Almost simultaneously as Gu Jinlai exterminated Hao Tianqing, the Alliance Leader of All Worlds Alliance, Yuan Wuji, sensed something amiss.

He quickly retrieved a specially made Jade Talisman that could communicate across realms.

At this moment, the Jade Talisman had already grown dim and lightless, the divine sense ability originally imprinted on it dispersed without a trace.

Under these circumstances...

"How can it be!?"

The Alliance Leader, possessing the battle power of a Supreme Golden Immortal, narrowed his eyes, his expression immediately turning exceedingly grave.

"Is it Gu Jinlai!?"
