Difference

Before reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm, Demonic Beasts held a significant advantage in battles against human cultivators.

If ordinary Demonic Beasts possessed the same heavy armor and swords as human cultivators, they would be able to fight against experts at the Gang Condensing.

However, once they reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, their advantages were gradually erased.

Spirit Transformation cultivators, relying on the advantage of their flying swords, are often able to suppress mid-level Demonic Beasts.

Only those mid-level Demonic Beasts skilled in speed and defense can kill Spirit Transformation cultivator by quickly closing in.

When the Primordial Spirit True Lord arrived...

The disadvantages of the high-ranking Demonic Beasts are becoming increasingly apparent.

Apart from high-ranking avian Demonic Beasts, other Demonic Beasts of the same rank can only passively take a beating when facing Primordial Spirit True Lord.

While high-ranking avian Demonic Beasts are often weaker in defense, they are also at a disadvantage when facing flying swords. The Primordial Spirit True Lord still has a slightly higher chance of winning.

This situation persisted until the Demonic Beasts King's era, when things finally changed.

During the Great Demonic Beasts stage, their attacks and defenses are limited to strength and physique.

However, when they reach the Demonic Beasts King stage, the power of their Qi and Blood and qi has been condensed to the extreme. This power merges with the demonic energy they carry, giving the Demonic Beasts King the ability to attack from a distance.

It's like Qi Refining to Gang Condensing.

The Demonic Beasts King's attack range suddenly increased by hundreds or even thousands of meters, and if related Divine Ability beings were to emerge, it could even reach thousands of meters.

Even if the Primordial Spirit True Lord's flying sword is fast, it is still difficult to kill the Demonic Beasts King before he can react at a distance of a thousand meters.

In this situation, the Demonic Beasts King was qualified to easily destroy the Primordial Spirit True Lord's flying sword and fight the Celestial Person head-on.

Once one reaches the level of Demonic Beasts Emperor, the Undying Demon Body will be perfected, allowing the development of a second form.

In this form, Demonic Beasts often evolve the ability to fly, completely dismantling the cultivator's aerial advantage.

To avoid being caught up and killed in one blow, the Celestial Person had to find ways to increase their own power.

Therefore, cultivators who should have been called Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators after the Celestial Person imitated the Undying Demon Body and forged Saintly Bodies.

This refers to methods of cultivation such as achieving an immortal golden body.

With the help of the immortal golden body, cultivators have the ability to contend with the immortal demonic body.

Gu Jinlai, people have been studying the Purgatory Reincarnation Technique.

"The Demonic Beasts are strongest in the second stage. Their advantage expands to the maximum in the early stage of the third stage, but it drops to the minimum in the end. In the fourth stage, the two sides gradually become evenly matched and neither side is superior."

Gu Jinlai.

However, this statement is not absolute.

Just like him, with the physique of a mid-level great Demonic Beasts, even flying swords couldn't harm him because of his comprehension of the intent.

Moreover, having mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, he possesses techniques like the Ten Directions Annihilation, which extend the attack range to hundreds of meters. Therefore, he is not entirely without the power to resist even against Primordial Spirit True Lord.

Of course, if that Primordial Spirit True Lord is very cautious and always ensures that he launches his attack from a thousand meters away, he can only watch helplessly and end up like that Demon Ape Commander, passively taking hits.

"Not necessarily."

Gu Jinlai suddenly said, "My physique and recovery ability are not up to the level of the Demon Ape Commander, but as a Heavenly Lord, I have mastered various soul secret techniques. I can use the Eternal Heavenly Curse to bombard the flying sword, reduce its speed, and then rely on the profound meaning to directly shatter it, or even capture it... Without the flying sword, whether it is Spirit Transformation or Primordial Spirit, it is like a tiger with its teeth pulled, and its threat level drops drastically."

Even...

If the flying sword is destroyed, Spirit Transformation and Primordial Spirit will suffer a backlash.

If he relentlessly pursues and waits until the True Qi Lord of the True Lord Primordial Spirit is almost exhausted and has to fall to the ground, he can rush up, manifest the Great Sun True Demon form, and slap him to death.

"Perhaps... now, without using the Heavenly Sword Missile, I am already able to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Primordial Spirit True Lord."

The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.

Of course, this is just his guess.

We'll only know the specifics after the fight.

"Primordial Spirit True Lord..."

Gu Jinlai, people have looked up and gazed towards the direction of the Yunqi Mountains.

To be precise...

They crossed the Yunqi Mountains and landed at Longque Manor, located within Jiangzhou.

He has already sent people to Jiangzhou to investigate the collusion between Longque Manor and Demonic Beasts, although news has not yet arrived...

It's probably true.

Therefore, it won't be long before he'll be able to truly face off against someone of that caliber.

"For security reasons... I need more protection."

Gu Jinlai at the Universe Talisman hanging on his body.

Thousands of Demonic Beasts.

These merits should be put to use as soon as possible and exchanged for practical supplies.

Green Field County Changjun City.

At this moment, a team was escorting them towards the county town.

The group consisted of a hundred people, including merchants and about thirty men carrying swords and knives.

Among these thirty-odd people, the most eye-catching was a man who looked to be in his early twenties.

"As expected of the experts from Tianyu Martial Arts School, the guards of our Zhou family caravan are quite strong. They are mostly retired veterans, many of whom were selected for elite combat teams. The captain in charge has even reached the Organ Refining Realm. However, compared to this Tianyu Sword Master, they are still a step weaker."

"I heard he's only twenty-four years old this year, but he's already at the peak of the Blood Changing Realm!? Is that true? Our Zhou family is considered a big family in the area, but we can count experts of this level on one hand."

"He's one of the top ten young masters in Green Field County, how could he not be amazing? This Tianyu Swordsman once fought thirty-one ruthless bandits all by himself with just his sword half a year ago! Just how remarkable are his swordsmanship and Movement Method?"

A murmur of discussion arose among the crowd, and everyone looked at the young man with awe and longing.

Although Luyin County cannot compare to Huayin County, which has a population of 100,000 in its county seat alone, it is not considered a small county among the dozens of counties under the jurisdiction of Changjun City.

The fact that the young man could be called one of the top ten young masters in Green Field County shows that he has extraordinary skills.

If this were in the Blue Star Kingdom of Earth, he would be someone who could potentially get into one of the top universities.

The young man ignored the murmurs of the crowd.

These people were destined to be just passersby in his life.

Beside him, a girl who looked to be under twenty proudly raised her chin and said, "Senior brother, you should be preparing to break through to the Qi Refining Realm when you go back this time, right?"

The man glanced at her and nodded. "I have gained some insights, but whether I can complete the step of refining the void into the true form depends on the results of my cultivation."

"I believe my senior brother will succeed."

The girl looked at him with admiration. "The Qi Refining Realm is a completely new field. Once you step into it, you will be like a dragon soaring in the sea and a tiger entering the forest. Your future is limitless."

"I've only gained some insights. Whether I can break through is still unknown. My master, as the head of Tianyu Martial Arts School, one of the nine major martial arts schools in Green Field County, had hundreds of disciples at its peak, but he was only at the Qi Refining stage. I'm not entirely sure if I can reach that level in the future."

The man shook his head.

He fully understood the difficulty of refining emptiness into truth and stepping into the Qi Refining Realm.

Body Tempering, Organ Refining, and Blood Changing —as long as one cultivates diligently and receives adequate nutrition, these can all be achieved, and one can cultivate True Qi ...

How many such masters are there in the entire Green Field County?

How could a young man in his twenties squeeze into such a top circle that only a few dozen people in the entire county could get in?

"Boom!"

Just then, a deafening roar that shook the ground was heard.

The experienced caravan guard captain immediately shouted, "A large group of people is passing by! Quickly, make way!"

At his command, everyone got to work.

"Roar!"

Before long, a deafening roar came from ahead.

The mere pressure contained in the shout caused countless people in the caravan to change their expressions drastically.

"A ferocious beast!? Demonic Beasts!?"

Soon, a colossal creature, over seven meters tall even though it wasn't standing upright, appeared in everyone's sight, resembling a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Upon seeing the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex and the metallic sheen emanating from it, the caravan members, who had been filled with fear, seemed to make a connection to something.

"This is... a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex!?"

During this period, Lingxiao City never stopped promoting itself to the surrounding cities, so much so that they quickly recognized this behemoth that ordinary people might never have the chance to see in their lifetime.

"Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex! This is the City Lord's mount, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"I recognize that flag. That's the City Lord's personal guard! They're known as the Demon God Guard! It's said that every one of them, if placed in the outside world, would be even more powerful than Qi Refining Realm sect master or guild leader!"

"That's the City Lord's entourage! I'm so incredibly fortunate to see the City Lord's entourage!"

Soon someone started shouting.

In an instant, everyone's expression became excited.

Especially when this team gets closer...

The mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex leading the way, along with other Tyrannosaurus Rex and a massive horde of Nargacuga, surged past, thrilling everyone who witnessed it.

"It's the city lord, it really is the city lord! We've seen with our own eyes that other areas of Star Province are in chaos, with all the officials levying exorbitant taxes and colluding with local powerful families and bandits. Almost everyone is struggling to survive. Only our few cities, under the city lord's management, have clean governance. The officials and soldiers do not harm us in the slightest, and they provide disaster relief and peace to the people in times of crisis. All of this is thanks to the city lord."

"I heard that not long ago, Demonic Beasts and ferocious beasts invaded Baihe City, but the city lord led his army and defeated tens of thousands of ferocious beasts and thousands of Demonic Beasts in one battle."

"Long live the Lord of the City!"

Later on, some people couldn't help but cheer loudly, creating a very enthusiastic atmosphere.

Hearing the cheers of the crowd around him, the young man who was revered as the Heavenly Feather Sword also had his eyes shining.

Looking at the gleaming armor of the demon god's guards and their majestic and ferocious swift dragon mounts, he longed to become one of them and enjoy the same reverence from the people.

"A true man is born between heaven and earth, and should wield a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled feats! What does it matter if I, Zhang Tianyu, am respected in a small county like Luyin? If I'm going to do something, I'll do it the best."

The man stood up, full of vigor. "Lingxiao City has opened up recruitment for Demon God Guards. Junior Sister, tell Master that I've gone to Lingxiao City. In the future, I will make them proud of me!"
