Assault

"Retreat!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Lihuo and the others, having received orders from Gu Jinlai, unleashed their spiritual power and, carrying the Cheng Ying mech, charged into the Demon Realm Rift in one breath.

As they retreated back into the Demon Realm rift, Gu Jinlai, who had charged out, had a glint in his eyes.

With his mind highly focused, his gaze seemed to ascend to the true spirit world.

Through the real spirit world, he vaguely sensed the "origin" of this spirit lord-level Demonic Spirit.

The visualized core of the great sun suddenly flashed with intense light, and a huge pillar of light once again pierced through the heavens and earth, striking the pursuing Spirit Venerable-level Demonic Spirit in the direction of the "True Spirit Realm" vision.

Eternal Heavenly Curse.

The second Eternal Heavenly Curse.

"Bang!"

The Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit struck by the Eternal Heavenly Curse was like a water curtain pierced by a boulder. A visible ripple spread out from its body, continuously exploding in all directions. The dissipating power even reached the edges of its body, causing the thinner areas at the edges to shatter and turn into dissipating spiritual radiance.

This Eternal Curse deals at least two to three times the damage of the previous ones.

"Humans!"

Under this "vital" attack, the Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit let out an angry roar.

A powerful spiritual force continuously impacts the True Spirit of the Gu Jinlai.

If this shockwave were to occur in a mortal city, within a radius of ten miles, or even several miles or tens of miles, no life below the level of a Celestial Master would survive.

Even a powerful cultivator like Spirit Refining True Person would have their soul stripped away and die on the spot.

It can be said that the wave of spiritual shock is a wave of life-taking.

Wherever the wave sweeps, countless lives are spiritually shattered.

That is, to annihilate the soul.

This is the terror of a Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit.

"Buzz!"

Under this spiritual shock, Gu Jinlai, whose spiritual consciousness was being severely depleted, felt his True Spirit violently trembling.

If it were a Heavenly Lord who had not undergone True Spirit Crystallization, their True Spirit would most likely have shattered on the spot under this round of impact.

"Spirit Lord!"

Gu Jinlai, people have gazed deeply upon this colossal creature with a wingspan of a hundred meters and a total length of two hundred meters...

Its form was somewhat lighter than before, and its crimson color was not as intense as when it first arrived, but its enormous size still exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"If I were given twenty or thirty beams of pure light, I might be able to wear down a Spirit Venerable-level Demonic Spirit."

Pity...

He didn't.

Moreover, the Spirit Lord is often surrounded by a large number of disaster-level and large-scale Demonic Spirit.

Destroying these Demonic Spirit also requires consuming spiritual energy. In other words, he would need to prepare at least thirty or forty beams of pure light to repeatedly heal the wounds of his True Spirit before he could possibly kill a spirit lord.

Gathering such a large number of Qing Guang is no easy task.

"The true spirit world..."

We have now come into contact with the real spirit world, Gu Jinlai.

However, unless one uses the light of the clear light, it is not possible to maintain the state of "real spirit world" at all times.

Just like Alchemist in the Celestial Masters branch, anyone who can refine Qi Refining Pills can be called Alchemist. However, the difference in status between Alchemist succeeds only once out of ten batches of pills and one who succeeds ten times out of ten batches is obvious.

Gu Jinlai, the third step of the Heavenly Sovereign is equivalent to the former of the Alchemist.

After all, his main cultivation Cultivation Method is the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method, and this Cultivation Method has its limit after reaching contact with the real spirit world.

Although he found the path to the Creator through the Qian Tian purple qi Technique, the path was quite difficult.

"Ideally, one should obtain the complete lineage of the Aries Star Lord."

He murmured to himself Gu Jinlai.

Then, before the Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit roared and charged forward, he stepped into the rift in the Demon Realm.

"Roar!"

The Demonic Spirit, at the Demon Lord level, let out an angry roar.

But looking at the crack that was only twenty meters long, he could only stop and let out a low growl of resentment.

On the other side.

Zhang Lihuo, Si Tianyan, Guan Xingyun, Zhang Yukun, Xiang Fengyun, and others, carrying the Cheng Ying mechs, rushed out of the rift one after another.

Their eyes immediately turned to look behind them.

"Supreme Elder!"

"Be on high alert!"

Zhang Li shouted loudly and immediately began to visualize the core of the Great Sun.

The others dared not slack off and took out Yuanling Pills to consume. At the same time, they entered a state of meditation, and dazzling rays of light surrounded them, nurturing powerful soul techniques.

While their soul techniques are less effective against catastrophic-level Demonic Spirit, they are more than capable of dealing with large Demonic Spirit.

Fortunately, the situation did not develop in the worst possible way.

Before long, ripples appeared, and figures from Gu Jinlai stepped out from the rift in the Demon Realm.

"Elder, are you alright?"

Zhang Yukun asked immediately.

"It's alright."

Gu Jinlai also took out the Nourishing Essence Pill to replenish his spiritual energy while keeping an eye on the rift in the Demon Realm.

But...

Seemingly aware that such a terrifying Celestial Master existed Gu Jinlai, making it seem as if sending ordinary large Demonic Spirit, or even disaster-level Demonic Spirit, to their deaths, the Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit did not order the Demonic Spirit to pursue and kill it.

Although the rift in the Demon Realm was open, no Demonic Spirit emerged from it anymore.

This situation lasted for several minutes.

Finally...

The rift in the Demon Realm began to gradually shrink.

Just like the Demon Realm Rift in Akiyama, when the rift closes, it often exhibits a collapse-like speed.

Even though this rift in the Demon Realm was over twenty meters long, it still took less than a minute for it to shrink and close completely.

When the rift in the Demon Realm was completely closed, everyone—from Zhang Lihuo and Zhang Yukun to other Heavenly Lords and Grand Celestial Masters, as well as the being who had glimpsed the true Spirit Realm Gu Jinlai —suffered a great weight of relief.

"It's over."

"The rift to the Demon Realm has closed; we have withstood this round of invasion by the Demon Realm Demonic Spirit!"

"Not only did we stop this wave of Demonic Spirit invasion, but we... also led by the Supreme Elder, stormed into the Demon Realm and wreaked havoc..."

"Entering the Demon Realm? This is absolutely insane and incredibly exciting!"

The group completely lost their usual composure and couldn't wait to vent and express their emotions.

This has been understood throughout Gu Jinlai.

Anyone who has experienced a major event, unless they are so exhausted that they have no strength left or have personally witnessed a tragedy, will feel an unprecedented urge to confide in others.

After a few moments of conversation, everyone quickly turned their attention to Gu Jinlai.

Their minds conjured up scenes from Gu Jinlai, of unleashing the Great Sun's Eternal Radiance to fight against that Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit...

He was like a celestial master holding high the torch amidst a black storm of blood-red light that blotted out the sun, radiating endless brilliance.

No matter how fiercely the dark storm raged, he was always able to keep the torch burning.

That kind of scene...

This filled the group with boundless admiration and longing.

"A Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit."

Zhang Lihuo exclaimed, "Every time it shrieks, it shakes my True Spirit. The spiritual impact it creates when it shrieks seems to tear my True Spirit apart."

"To be honest, facing such a terrifying Demonic Spirit, if I hadn't been at the very back, I wouldn't have been able to maintain even the state of visualizing the core of the Great Sun."

Xiang Fengyun smiled wryly.

The others nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, throughout Gu Jinlai, they were only allowed to refine their spirituality.

We need to force them to use their soul-binding techniques to restrain them...

Even with people from Gu Jinlai to the present standing at the forefront, they were still unable to condense the secret art of the soul.

After all, those waves of spiritual shocks were too violent for them.

Gu Jinlai, the clash between the two demon Demonic Spirit at the Spirit Venerable level was like a battle between two top-tier experts. These Grand Celestial Masters, let alone getting close to assist them, could be severely injured or even killed by the sheer force of their collision.

Zhang Lihuo gave Gu Jinlai a deep look.

Although he knew when Gu Jinlai set up the Myriad Spirits Array, this Supreme Elder had already come into contact with the real spirit world.

He is now probably the number one person in the Qian Heavenly Master Lineage.

However, before truly witnessing his full power, he simply couldn't imagine that the Supreme Elder had become so formidable.

Let's confront the Spirit Lord head-on!

Although it was only a short-term confrontation, this power still deeply shocked Zhang Lihuo's heart.

This power...

Even in the most glorious era of the Celestial Master civilization a thousand years ago, they would have been among the beings second only to the Creator.

They can even replace the creators to oversee floating islands and space cities, gaining a status second only to the emperor in those islands and cities.

"Although this trip to the Demon Realm was somewhat dangerous, overall it can be described as a fruitful journey."

At this time Gu Jinlai the present also relaxed.

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the Cheng Ying mecha.

"Once the Cheng Ying Mech has fully absorbed the spiritual energy, it will truly complete its transformation and become the most powerful war Spirit Artifact in our Lingxiao City!"

This Gu Jinlai.

"Without further ado, let's guide the Cheng Ying mech to digest this spiritual energy!"

Zhang Lihuo quickly replied.

Gu Jinlai nodded.

This process takes at most ten days to half a month.

Just like a fighter jet, once it's been cast, all that's left is to conduct a final inspection and then add some colors and numbers.

If necessary, he could even pilot the Cheng Ying mech directly into battle and fight the Demonic Beasts King.

He immediately activated the Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror.

Before long, Gu Luochen, who had been waiting outside, entered with dozens of demon god guards.

"Ancestor."

Gu Luochen bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

Gu Jinlai nodded. "Take the Cheng Ying mech back."

After saying that, he turned to Zhang Lihuo and said, "You all must be tired during this time. Go back and get some rest. There's no rush for the final guidance of the Cheng Ying mecha. We can do it after you've recovered. It's a good opportunity to exchange armor-forging experiences during this time."

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "From now on, you will be the main pilots of the Cheng Ying mech. Although this mech lacks the most core energy reactor, it is no different from the real Cheng Ying mech in other aspects. You can take your time to familiarize yourselves with it."

"Yes."

"I will not disappoint the Supreme Elder."

"Haha, not tired at all, we can't wait to see the day it goes to the battlefield."

Zhang Lihuo and the others laughed loudly, their mood filled with ease and joy.

Gu Jinlai a slight nod.

Gu Luochen, on the other hand, maintained a solemn expression throughout.

Upon Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai couldn't help but glance at him. "Is there something you need?"

"We have just received news that several large fleets have assembled at the port of Lizhou... and it seems... they are heading towards Jiangzhou."
