Pursuit

Crocodile Dragon King itself was transformed from a ferocious beast called Crocodile. Although it gradually grew from an amphibious, crawling crocodile into a monster with an upright body as it became increasingly Demonic Beasts, its greatest strength always lay in its bite force, which was enough to crush everything.

Even the immortal golden body of a saint would be torn to shreds by its terrifying bite force.

In this situation, when its sense of danger reached its peak and there was no way to avoid it, it chose to unleash its strongest attack, opening its blood-red maw to Gu Jinlai, who was rushing towards it like a streak of light. This was a perfectly normal reaction.

Pity...

This attack, Gu Jinlai, is not a simple conventional attack.

As the Crocodile Dragon King leaped high into the air, its gaping "V"-shaped maw poised to devour Gu Jinlai path, its form suddenly emitted an unparalleled, intense radiance.

It was as if a blazing sun had been ignited in the pitch-black night sky; the instantaneous incandescence and brilliance completely blinded all living beings.

The ensuing impact and intense heat slammed into the Crocodile Dragon King, who was the first to be hit, with overwhelming force.

The Crocodile Dragon King's enormous body and towering blood flames were instantly reduced to dust like a sand sculpture struck by a tsunami under this dazzling and high-temperature attack, and then burned to ashes by the tens or hundreds of millions of degrees of heat in the next second.

The intense light spread, further impacting the nearest great Demonic Beasts.

Even some high-ranking Demonic Beasts who had cultivated an indestructible demonic body were torn to shreds and reduced to ashes on the spot under such a terrifying attack.

The terrifying shockwave descended further onto the ground, causing it to rapidly cave in and melt. The pressure on the surrounding area created violent air currents and flames that spread outwards.

Under this intense light and high temperature, even the powerful Demonic Beasts hundreds of meters away were visibly engulfed in flames.

"Roar!"

The intense pain caused these high-ranking Demonic Beasts to scream in agony.

The flames, containing terrifyingly high temperatures, spread rapidly throughout their bodies, igniting them completely. In less than a second, they burned their powerful physiques, which were strong enough to withstand the attack of Spirit Transformation cultivator's flying sword, into charcoal. Then, they were shattered, collapsed, and splashed by the expanding shockwaves, turning into black dust that was swept away into the distance.

Vanished into thin air.

Within hundreds of meters, from the Crocodile Dragon King at the level of Demonic Beasts King and a high-ranking Demonic Beasts has condensed an indestructible demonic body, to ordinary low-ranking Demonic Beasts, as long as they belonged to the core of this intense light within hundreds of meters, they were burned to ashes without any room for resistance.

Even the great Demonic Beasts a thousand meters away were engulfed in flames, with most of their bodies burned and turned into charcoal.

Those mid-level Demonic Beasts who had not even mastered the Undying Demon Body, or whose Undying Demon Body was not biased towards defense, were still not spared even from a thousand meters away and were roasted by the flames.

Further away, the smaller and medium-sized large Demonic Beasts were swept into the void by the following shockwave, flying hundreds or even thousands of meters into the air before crashing down and being smashed into pieces.

Due to the attraction of the Heavenly Lord's True Spirit to the great Demonic Beasts, all the Demonic Beasts flocked to the area from Gu Jinlai, and the final effect of this attack far exceeded his expectations.

Meanwhile, in Yuntian City, ten miles away...

Just as Gu Jinlai was about to make his move, the perceptive Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators and Spirit Refining True Person quickly realized what was happening.

Drawing on the instructions Gu Jinlai, these people immediately roared the order, "Everyone, close your eyes! Do not look directly north!"

And less than a breath after he gave the order, a dazzling light shone at the edge of the field of vision.

Although the new Cheng Ying sword in Gu Jinlai's hands was slightly inferior to the original one, its brilliance and dazzling light still made everyone's eyes look as if a sun had appeared from ten miles away!

A sun shining from the darkness.

Just as has been said throughout Gu Jinlai.

He will use his life to light the torch and pierce through the darkness.

It transformed into the only light in the world.

To blind the enemy.

It illuminates the way forward for everyone.

A long time.

Only after the surrounding bright light seemed to dim somewhat did Cheng Wanli, Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, Gu Chaoyang, Gu Chifeng, and the others reopen their eyes.

Although many of them had witnessed such a scene outside Dragon Roar City, they still couldn't help but widen their eyes in horror and shock when they saw the terrifying fireball at the end of the sky, as well as the red light and flames that seemed to burn the sky.

Such a supreme Celestial Person...

Even a peak Celestial Person would find it difficult to measure, leaving everyone in the arena almost breathless.

"Great! Great!"

Suddenly, Si Tianyan's voice rang out.

Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, he couldn't help but shout, "The Celestial Master Civilization will surely rise to greatness once again in the hands of the Supreme Elder!"

"The Great Sun! The true Great Sun!"

Zhang Yukun couldn't help but kneel down, gazing at the dazzling flames at the edge of his vision with fervor and excitement. "Supreme Elder, he is the Great Sun True God that our Great Sun Heavenly Sect has been searching for! The Lord of the Great Sun!"

"With such immense power wielded by my Lingxiao City, how can we not sweep away Demonic Beasts and unify the southern lands!?"

Cheng Wanli murmured as well.

Further away, Star King Jiang Chongshan glanced at the crimson flames burning the sky, then looked in the direction of the artillery position.

His eyes were brimming with emotion.

After a long while, he finally uttered two words: "Hope..."

In Star Province, in Lingxiao City, and in Gu Jinlai, he saw the hope of humanity driving out and Demonic Beasts.

At that moment, he seemed to hear a series of low shouts from beside him.

"God of Light!"

"Lord of Light!"

"Lord of the Great Sun!"

The shouts first came from the Daoist apprentices at the artillery position.

Because these celestial master apprentices operated heavy artillery, their status and position were far above that of ordinary soldiers, and their shouts quickly spread.

"Lord of the Great Sun!"

"Victory!"

"May the Lord of the Great Sun be victorious!"

Before long, similar shouts rang out simultaneously throughout the entire Cloud Sky City, and as time went on, these shouts gradually became unified.

"May the Lord of the Great Sun be victorious!"

The sound waves created by the simultaneous shouts of 100,000 troops were incredibly powerful.

Even landslides and tsunamis are insufficient to describe it.

Even if you increase the vocal range to a hundred levels, you still can't compete with this wave of resonance.

In an instant, the morale of the defenders on Yuntian City soared to its peak.

Just then, Gu Chaoyang, who was in the operations command center, seemed to sense something and suddenly said, "Retreat! Those Demonic Beasts... are retreating!"

"Retreat?"

Si Tianyan was slightly taken aback.

Having dealt with Demonic Beasts for many years, he quickly realized something. "It's fear! Human elites will be terrified and collapse when they suffer heavy losses, and the same goes for Demonic Beasts! Especially now that the Crocodile Dragon King is dead, and that group of two or three hundred great Demonic Beasts has been almost wiped out by the artillery bombardment and the attack from the Ancient Emperor, the Demonic Beasts are leaderless... They're going to escape!"

Gu Chaoyang had previously made similar guesses, and now that the life radar confirmed them, after some struggle, he ordered without hesitation, "We should press on with our remaining strength! This time, we must completely cripple the Heavenly River Demonic Beasts and never allow them to rise again! As acting commander, I hereby order the artillery to open fire at full speed! Demon God's personal guards and reserves, go forth and hunt down the Demonic Beasts!"

Although Gu Chaoyang's reputation is not as great as that of Gu Jinlai.

However, throughout Gu Jinlai, when people went to the battlefield, they did indeed hand over the acting command to him.

With the Demonic Beasts leaderless, the remaining 40,000 Demonic Beasts began to collapse, and Gu Chifeng, Cheng Wanli, and others were unwilling to let go of this precious opportunity.

In an instant, the Demon God's personal guards and elite special forces teams activated simultaneously, rushing out of their defensive zones and heading at full speed toward the Demonic Beasts who had already charged twenty miles away.

Amidst the raging flames and dust.

Gu Jinlai, it has been looking up, and the golden light on its entire body has gradually dissipated.

As the golden light dissipated, his injuries were rapidly healed, and he soon returned to his peak, perfect state.

At this moment, bathed in the faint afterglow of the setting sun, he walked naked on this ground filled with flames, glass, and even lava.

At the same time, it sensed the aura of the great Demonic Beasts all around it.

When they sensed that some of the powerful Demonic Beasts were still alive, they stepped forward to deliver the final blow.

The only thing that made him somewhat regretful was that fighting Demonic Beasts was different from fighting the many masters of Dragon Sparrow Manor.

When half of the Dragon Sparrow Manor was wiped out by him, the remaining people at least had a piece of clothing to change into, and occasionally he could pick up a spirit sword or two that weren't very handy, but were at least usable.

But these Demonic Beasts...

Apart from its flesh, scales, and Essence Blood, it has almost no value.

They didn't even have a single piece of clothing.

So much so that he, who should have been filled with Sha Qi amidst flames and dust, now appeared somewhat comical.

Fortunately, this farce lasted only a moment before the distant roars of Demonic Beasts and the roar of machine guns could be heard.

The Demon God's personal guards have arrived.

After a brief moment of observation, Gu Jinlai quickly sensed the presence of the ancient stream.

After a message was sent, Gu Xiliu and Gu Chifeng, who were prepared in advance, broke away from the group.

When Gu Jinlai reappeared and joined the Demon God's guards, he was already wearing a suit of armor and had a heavy sword in his hand.

This was the very same set of spirit armor and battle sword he had forged for the first time back then.

It only has simple functions such as weight and size as desired.

Of course, the sword now feels a bit too light for him, and it's not quite as comfortable to hold.

"Ancestor, the Demonic Beasts have retreated, and we are now pursuing them with all our might."

Gu Chifeng quickly reported.

"Refunded?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai, but then it all seems to make sense.

Demonic Beasts are also intelligent beings. Since they have intelligence and civilization, they naturally understand what fear is and what it means to assess the situation.

"Chase them! Don't let these Demonic Beasts get away, lest they become a threat again. Don't waste their Demonic Beasts Essence Blood. Those magical Spirit Artifact we made specifically to store Demonic Beasts Essence Blood can come in handy now."

Gu Jinlai, he glanced in the direction where the Crocodile Dragon King was.

The strike he unleashed, utilizing the characteristics of transition, was, in essence, at the level of a true immortal on land, according to Ziyang.

It's simply a matter of power output.

In this situation, the Crocodile Dragon King was unable to even leave behind a corpse.

This Gu Jinlai, whose physical strength was about to advance to the level of a high- Demonic Beasts, somewhat disappointed.
