Light
At this point, Gu Jinlai had already reached the city wall.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, he carried a sword of inferior quality to the previous top-grade Spirit Artifact and gazed into the distance.
To commemorate Gu Jinlai Yingjian, who sacrificed his life in the battle outside Longxiao City, the newly replaced sword has not been renamed.
It is still a reflection.
Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, tonight will likely be the time for this new Cheng Ying sword to reach the end of its lifespan.
At the edge of their vision, the leading Demonic Beasts was getting ever closer.
More than twenty miles behind them, a torrent of ordinary Demonic Beasts was also rolling in.
To escape the shelling, a large number of Demonic Beasts scattered in all directions, so much so that they appeared to cover the mountains and fields endlessly, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Standing beside Gu Jinlai was Gu Chifeng, the commander of the Demon God's personal guard.
What echoed in Gu Jinlai's ears was Gu Chaoyang's voice coming from the command center through the Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror: "Ancestor, according to the data detected by the life radar, we have killed nearly 30,000 Demonic Beasts in this series of bombardments, but more than 40,000 Demonic Beasts are still surging towards our Cloud Sky City at full speed. With our current strength... the chance of winning is very high, but... it is very likely to be a Pyrrhic victory."
"A Pyrrhic victory..."
Silent Gu Jinlai.
Lingxiao City ultimately only had 100,000 troops.
Among them, the elite special forces and the demon god's personal guards, who are capable of confronting Demonic Beasts head-on, number only about three thousand.
This power, however, is needed to fight against seventy or eighty thousand Demonic Beasts...
Even a Pyrrhic victory was achieved only because the advantage of artillery firepower was gained.
But...
They had no other choice.
"As long as we survive this battle, a new batch of Demon God Guards will grow rapidly. In fact, due to the 70,000 to 80,000 Demonic Beasts corpses, we can expand the scale of the Demon God Guards to 10,000! In addition, the Heavenly River Demonic Beasts have been completely wiped out, and the development of our Lingxiao City will only have Muzhou as a stumbling block. Therefore, this battle will be both destruction and rebirth for our Lingxiao City!"
Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "He will decide whether our Lingxiao City will truly be able to dominate Tiannan in the future."
The phrase "Dominating the South" invigorated Cheng Wanli, Gu Chaoyang, Zhang Yukun, and the others.
This is the first time in Gu Jinlai that he has expressed his plans and ambitions.
"I will reactivate the treasure I used in Dragon Roar City and deliver a fatal blow. Be on guard and do not look directly at the bright light that flashes when the treasure is activated."
This Gu Jinlai.
"To reactivate that secret treasure on my body?"
Cheng Wanli was slightly taken aback, then his eyes widened suddenly. "The governor is talking about that treasure obtained from the Aries Star Palace... that treasure... can still be used?"
Not only him, but everyone else was also stunned.
"Isn't the trump card... a one-time use item?"
"That kind of treasure, which can be described as a peak attack from Celestial Person... can be reused?"
"Certainly."
Gu Jinlai smiled slightly, "Who told you that I can only use this trump card once?"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Such a terrifying attack is a treasure if it can be used even once.
Even the finest Spirit Artifact are insufficient to describe it.
It can be reused now...
Everyone gasped in shock.
Gu Jinlai ignored them and gave a deep order, "Activate all the Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirrors."
As the number of Celestial Masters increased, the number of special Spirit Artifact like the Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror also increased significantly, now exceeding one hundred, distributed among many commanders.
With a single command from Gu Jinlai present, all the images from the Thousand Miles of Light and Shadow Mirror were transferred to him.
"I am from Gu Jinlai."
Voices from Gu Jinlai resounded from the Thousand-Mile Mirror of Light and Shadow.
During this period, under the leadership of Gu Jinlai, Lingxiao City was invincible and had accumulated unparalleled prestige.
Furthermore, Gu Jinlai from Blue Star have always placed great importance on propaganda and ideological work...
In the eyes of many Lingxiao City descendants, he was equivalent to a living god who descended upon this world full of chaos, slaughter, and even on the verge of being destroyed by Demonic Beasts, shouldering the mission of saving the world.
Therefore, these simple five words alone stirred up everyone's emotions.
In some places, the shouts could be heard clearly.
"We are about to face an unprecedented battle. More than 70,000 Demonic Beasts are attacking Yuntian City. Although we have eliminated nearly 30,000 of them, more than 40,000 Demonic Beasts are still coming like a raging tide or a tsunami. But we have no choice but to fight!"
The voices from Gu Jinlai, transmitted clearly through the Thousand-Mile Mirror of Light and Shadow, reached every corner of the battlefield. "Because behind us lies Star Province. If we cannot withstand the Demonic Beasts' attack, these Demonic Beasts will rush into Star Province and kill our families, friends, brothers and sisters, turning the entire Star Province into a complete hell on earth, just like Muzhou! Therefore, we have no other choice!"
He roughly estimated the distance between the Demonic Beasts King and himself.
"Many of us may perish today, and less than 30% will return to Lingxiao City alive. But I promise you all that no matter how this battle unfolds, I, the Lord of Star Province, will always stand before you, charging at the Gu Jinlai to slay the Demonic Beasts, fighting alongside you to the very last moment! Even if I leave with my last drop of blood, I will use my life to ignite a torch, becoming the light that illuminates your path forward."
Gu Jinlai drew his sword with a single stroke. "Now, let us use the swords, spears, arrows, and cannons in our hands to make these Demonic Beasts have brought us countless pains and fears for centuries understand that those who invade Star Province will be exterminated! Lingxiao City will surely win!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up like a streak of light and charged headlong towards the Demonic Beasts King and the Great Demonic Beasts who had appeared at the edge of his field of vision.
Behind him, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded from tens of thousands of voices, "Victory is certain! Lingxiao City will surely win!"
In the operations command center, Gu Chaoyang quickly began to calculate.
Soon, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "If the treasure in the ancestor's hand can be used again to deliver a fatal blow to the Crocodile Dragon King, without the Crocodile Dragon King as the ruler of the Demonic Beasts king, the remaining great Demonic Beasts... will most likely collapse on the spot. After all, Demonic Beasts, like humans, have intelligence and know fear! When faced with an enemy that is too powerful to be defeated, they will also be defeated and flee."
For a moment, he couldn't help but stare intently at the figure that was rapidly approaching the Crocodile Dragon King.
His eyes were filled with anticipation and longing.
If this attack can truly defeat the Demonic Beasts...
Perhaps, this battle to defend Yuntian City will turn into an unprecedented and glorious victory.
"Call out!"
Without wearing any armor, Gu Jinlai moved like the wind, maximizing his speed.
As he rushed down from Cloud Sky City, he felt a pang of regret. He should have used a portion of his True Spirit to control a Xuan Bird fighter jet, which would have airdropped him directly to the location of the Crocodile Dragon King, and then detonated him in mid-air to deliver a fatal blow.
However, he quickly suppressed the idea again.
After all, even the Crocodile Dragon King has ranged attacks.
Although he was not as far away as a Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord, nor even as far as Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivator, if the Xuan Bird fighter jet were to throw him off the sky, he would be a sitting duck in the void, unable to fly and with nowhere to take advantage of the void.
Let's just stick to our old ways and conquer the world, running at full speed.
With this in mind, his speed increased even further.
Meanwhile, these great Demonic Beasts were also sweeping towards Yuntian City at an extremely fast speed, and in just a moment, the two were already very close.
There's no need to deliberately create strangeness from Gu Jinlai.
The spiritual energy emanating from him is the best form of taunt.
And...
It is extremely efficient at attracting monsters.
The spiritual fluctuations of a Celestial Lord drove these great Demonic Beasts almost mad. Their killing intent nearly blinded their guard, and all the great Demonic Beasts roared and surrounded him from all directions.
Even the back of the Crocodile Dragon King, which resembled that of a Stegosaurus, glowed with blood-red light, and a terrifying energy began to brew in its mouth, seemingly eager to deliver a fatal blow to Gu Jinlai.
"Although Demonic Beasts have the instincts of wild beasts, they are ultimately inferior to human divine sense, let alone the realm of martial arts."
Gu Jinlai, people have witnessed this scene and unleashed their full Movement Method through unparalleled skill.
As the crimson beam of light pierced through the void, shattering the right wing of a Xuan Bird fighter jet, the Soaring Through the World Movement Method erupted.
He Divine Ability dodged the attack.
He gasped sharply, and the eternal furnace within his body began to operate at full power, decomposing the hydrogen in the cold air and fusing it into fusion. Then, through its transfer properties, he continuously poured the fusion energy into the sword in his hand.
In an instant, the new Cheng Ying sword in his hand, which was also a high-grade spiritual sword, released a dazzling light. No matter how much it had been hidden Gu Jinlai, the terrifying energy fluctuations still emanated from the sword uncontrollably.
At this moment, the Crocodile Dragon King seemed to belatedly realize the danger.
It growled, commanding Demonic Beasts to pounce on Gu Jinlai, while its massive body began to move backward, seemingly preparing to...
I want to escape.
"Rumors circulate that killing the Celestial Master and devouring his spiritual essence... especially the Celestial Lord's True Spirit, would be of immeasurable benefit to any Demonic Beasts. No Demonic Beasts could resist the temptation of a Celestial Lord's True Spirit. It seems that the rumors are wrong."
This thought has crossed my mind Gu Jinlai.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Crocodile Dragon King, and that more and more great Demonic Beasts were attacking from all sides, he no longer hesitated.
The Eternal Furnace, which had been stable for more than half a month, has once again entered overclocking mode.
Suddenly, intense golden light emanated from his body, filling it and making him...
It almost transformed into a golden giant that was half flesh and half energy.
The divine light of the sun radiated from his body, dispelling the darkness shrouded by Demonic Beasts around him, emitting light and heat at what was roughly four in the morning.
As he suddenly leaped into the air in his half-energy form, a force seemed to be simulating the output of a nuclear fusion engine, propelling him into the void at supersonic speed, instantly appearing a hundred meters above the Crocodile Dragon King.
"Roar!"
In the instant the omen of death surged, the Crocodile Dragon King, which was running wildly, suddenly turned around, roared and opened its mouth. Its huge body leaped up with surprising agility, seemingly about to devour Gu Jinlai, who was dozens of meters in the air.
The Crocodile Dragon King's true form is a dragon-crocodile. The bite force of this creature is so strong that even the immortal golden body of a saint would be crushed in one bite.
This was the Demonic Beasts king's desperate counterattack.
And just as it opened its blood-red maw, about to devour Gu Jinlai path...
Endless, fiery white light and dazzling brilliance, burst forth from its body from Gu Jinlai!
At that moment, he truly became light!
