Spirit Venerable
"Dragon General Armor".
Looking at the precious armor that had been exchanged from the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram, Gu Jinlai nodded in satisfaction.
This spirit armor not only possesses the three major characteristics he needed—size control, toughness, and immense strength—but also carries the two characteristics of repair and thorns.
The repair properties are easy to understand; even if the spirit armor is damaged, it can still recover on its own.
If the materials can be provided, the recovery effect will be greatly improved.
The remaining thorny traits...
It can enhance the toughness of the spirit armor, making its defense even stronger, and it can also grow barbs on the spirit armor to hurt attackers.
If he fully activates the "thorns" property, those barbs will grow and spread rapidly, reaching up to ten meters in length.
At that time, he will be like having ten-meter-long barbs growing all over his body.
These barbs stabbed wildly in all directions...
When it comes to killing monsters, it's practically a killing machine.
And...
Five characteristics!
This is already a standard for quasi-Daoist instruments!
Of course, this is just a standard, not a true quasi-tool.
"To be honest, it's a bit too fancy. The Thorns trait is very useful to others, but it's nothing to me. It would be better to add a Toughness trait as well. With double Toughness, I can withstand the flying sword of a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator."
The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.
However, he knew that the difference between Spirit Artifact and Dao artifacts lay in their dual characteristics.
The reason why quasi-Dao artifacts are much stronger than Spirit Artifact, including Spirit Artifact with five characteristics, is because they use more precious spiritual materials.
These spiritual materials inherently possess a layer of properties, and after being refined by top-tier celestial beings, they are endowed with the same properties, resulting in an effect greater than the sum of its parts, thus far surpassing the effects of top- Spirit Artifact.
Like the Sparrow Fairy Huo Yuqing's Spirit Sparrow Sword, which inherently possesses dual air-piercing properties.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that the Spirit Sparrow Sword leaves no trace when it is shot, and even Gu Jinlai, it has been difficult to capture the exact trajectory of this flying sword.
"I killed a Demonic Beasts king. If I were to exchange it for a flying sword, I could get two, let alone one quasi-Dao artifact. But spirit armor is much more valuable than a spirit sword. The price of a high-grade spirit armor is no less than that of a top-grade spirit sword. A quasi-Dao artifact-level spirit armor is worth several quasi-Dao artifact flying swords."
Gu Jinlai for a moment, he turned his gaze to the six spirit swords in his hand.
Yes.
Six.
Of the six spirit swords, five are of superior quality, possessing both toughness and the boundless characteristic of being able to contain even stronger energy.
The remaining one is a top-grade spirit sword, which, in addition to its two major characteristics of toughness and boundless power, also possesses a sharp edge.
Pity...
Throughout Gu Jinlai, the sharpness of the scepter has not been as effective as that of the small and large Ruyi scepter.
"The Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram actually only connects to the treasure trove of the Great Qian Dynasty. Moreover, this Dao artifact itself has a certain refining ability. However, this refining ability is limited. It can meet the needs of some ordinary people, but if you want to satisfy Spirit Transformation, Primordial Spirit, or even Celestial Person Realm experts, you can only rely on the Great Qian Dynasty."
Gu Jinlai brandished his sword. "In the Great Qian Dynasty's treasury, there are only five top-grade spiritual swords that possess both toughness and boundless qualities that can be taken out at once."
After all, the best attributes among high-grade Spirit Artifact are sharpness, penetrating the void, and boundlessness.
The toughness attribute is used on spirit swords...
That doesn't quite fit.
Muzhou.
At this moment, amidst towering mountains, ripples spread out continuously.
This is the spatial ripple that is about to begin in the Demon Realm Rift.
Beside the ripples, a creature resembling a praying mantis was coiled.
This praying mantis was five or six meters long and stood upright.
Its most striking feature is its pair of blade arms, each five or six meters long, gleaming with a cold, sharp light, as if nothing in the world could withstand its slashing power.
Besides this Demonic Beasts, there were other Demonic Beasts lurking around.
Judging from the aura emanating from them, each one had reached the level of a high-ranking Demonic Beasts.
Some of the best are no less than the Demon Ape Commander who has achieved a minor level of the Undying Demon Body.
However, the most central position among these Demonic Beasts is not occupied by those high-ranking Demonic Beasts who have cultivated an indestructible demonic body.
It wasn't the mantis-like Demonic Beasts that clearly belonged to the level of Demonic Beasts king, but a spider whose aura was barely comparable to that of a high-ranking Demonic Beasts.
As time went by, the rift in the Demon Realm gradually formed.
However, after it was formed, no Demonic Spirit rushed out from it immediately.
Only when the rift in the Demon Realm was nearly at its limit did a single one appear...
Or perhaps it was a fragment of a Demonic Spirit, struggling to be squeezed out of the rift in the Demon Realm.
However, this process proved to be extremely difficult.
It's like a giant trying to squeeze through a small archway.
The violent spatial ripples dissipated continuously as the Demonic Spirit squeezed them, with many of them turning directly into dust.
It's like a giant squeezing out flesh and blood to get through a small door.
During this process, the spider-like Demonic Beasts let out a painful roar, as if it were the one who was injured.
The entire process lasted for more than ten minutes. Just as the rift in the Demon Realm was about to close, the Demonic Spirit made a decisive move and severed its own body.
Yes!
It's like cutting your body in two.
Discard any body that has not fully passed through the Demon Realm Rift.
The bodies that had completed the crossing quickly surged into the spider-like Demonic Beasts's body.
As these Demonic Spirit elements poured in, the spider-like Demonic Beasts trembled violently, and its form rapidly changed.
During this process, its size not only increased dramatically from around six meters to fourteen meters, but its shape also changed from bulky to slender.
This is... the Undying Demon Body!
In its immortal demonic form, this Demonic Beasts stood upright, just like a human.
Eight spider legs stretched out behind it like arms, and with the amplification of the immortal demon body, they split and grew to as many as sixteen.
However, these spider legs are not like normal spider legs, which are hairy; instead, they are full of a metallic sheen.
It looks like it was cast from brass.
During this transformation, all the Demonic Beasts remained silent, without making any unusual noises.
Only after these changes were complete, and the Demonic Beasts had finally grown to a length of fourteen meters, did it begin to wield its spider legs...
Or rather, the arms weave together a dense tapestry of light and shadow in the open space.
Of the sixteen spider legs, four are used for running, while the other twelve are transformed into arms.
As it was wielded, it was equivalent to twelve spears and swords, frantically stabbing and cutting through the void before them.
Each strike caused the void to explode, emitting a series of piercing shrieks.
The mantis-like Demonic Beasts, with its keen eyesight, picked up a massive boulder weighing tens of tons and containing extremely high iron content, and hurled it at the spider-like Demonic Beasts.
Before the boulder could even get close to its form, twelve metallic arms shot out simultaneously, blasting the boulder into dust in a blur.
Seeing the spider-like Demonic Beasts perfectly controlling this body, the mantis Demonic Beasts quickly stepped forward and spoke in a language that humans could not possibly understand, "Congratulations, Lord Trayastrimsa, on completing your transformation and successfully descending."
"This crack is ultimately too small. Even though this is the third time, my main body still cannot cross it completely."
The voice of the Trayastrimsa Heaven echoed.
Spirit Lord.
Demonic Spirit are categorized into small, medium, large, and disaster types.
Among them, large Demonic Spirit have the potential to grow into Demonic Beasts kings. Disaster-type Demonic Spirit only need two or three years, or at most three to five years, to enter the realm of Demonic Beasts kings. In the future, they may even become demon emperors or demon lords.
And the Spirit Lord...
That is an existence even more terrifying than a catastrophic Demonic Spirit.
"At the fastest, it will take two or three times, which is at most six years. The Spirit Lord's spiritual body will be perfected, and then..."
"That will be the time when we completely sweep across this land."
"The Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven said in a deep voice."
It wielded its twelve arms with extreme skill.
Its four legs also give it an astonishing speed.
Its movements were swift and agile, and unlike many bipedal creatures, it was not cumbersome at all.
Especially...
It's obvious that this kind of Demonic Beasts, which is essentially a spider, must have ranged attack methods like spitting silk.
One can imagine the terrifying destructive effect it would have if it appeared on the battlefield.
After a moment of adjustment, the Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven finally turned his gaze to the mantis-like Demonic Beasts: "Avan, where is Kale?"
"It led its people out of Muzhou and rushed north. In the north, a Heavenly Lord appeared in a place called Star Province, and raised the banner of Heavenly Master, as if to establish a Heavenly Master Holy Land."
The mantis-like, Demonic Beasts magician responded.
"At this time?"
The consciousness of the Trayastrimsa Heavenly Lord was tinged with displeasure.
"I know that we should prioritize the descent of the Spirit Lord and refrain from making any rash moves before you have completed your descent and matured, so as to avoid attracting attention. However, our purpose in coming here is to annihilate those Celestial Masters, Celestial Lords, and Creators. Now that someone has raised the banner of the Celestial Lord, it would be suspicious if we remained indifferent."
Avan explained, "Kalek will know his limits, demonstrating sufficient ability while attracting the attention of the powerful figures in the north."
"Hopefully so. If it dares to act recklessly and cause a crisis, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The consciousness fluctuations of the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord were tinged with murderous intent.
"It will absolutely not affect your smooth arrival, Spirit Lord."
Fani quickly agreed.
On the other side.
A grand triumphant ceremony is being held in Starlight City.
This time, Gu Jinlai led his troops to Yuntian City to meet the 100,000- Demonic Beasts army...
Although the actual number is only seventy or eighty thousand, this does not prevent people like Gu Jinlai from using the figure of one hundred thousand for publicity.
After all, when the Demonic Beasts rushed out of the Milky Way, their numbers reached nearly 100,000.
In the battle of Yuntian City, 100,000 Demonic Beasts were defeated, and more than 40,000 Demonic Beasts corpses were captured.
Meanwhile, on the Lingxiao City side...
The number of casualties was less than ten.
Moreover, these casualties did not come from direct combat with Demonic Beasts, but from other factors.
Such a glorious victory is far more inspiring than the Battle of Baihe City.
When the corpses of the great Demonic Beasts were brought back to Starlight City for exhibition, everyone in Starlight City cheered.
Everyone's fear of Demonic Beasts vanished.
This also boosted their confidence in ruling Star Province and Lingxiao City to an unprecedented level.
At this moment, everyone was filled with boundless confidence in the future of Star Province, firmly believing that Star Province would inevitably unify Tiannan and achieve the great rejuvenation of the human race in all the states of Tiannan.
