Decapitation

Nanmuzhou.

In a valley with extremely steep terrain.

The Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven was directing the Demonic Beasts to set up defenses.

One of them, Demonic Beasts twenty or thirty meters long, resembling an earthworm, was constantly surging underground, and with a tremor, it unearthed a network of tunnels that stretched across the ground.

There was no other way; Beimu Prefecture suffered a crushing defeat within a month, with over 200,000 Demonic Beasts being eliminated.

Of these 200,000 Demonic Beasts, more than half died from the bombardment of sharp swords and heavy cannons.

Even...

They were blasted to pieces before they even saw where the enemy was, their lives wasted.

This kind of loss—being unable to see the enemy and unable to inflict any harm on them—is unbearable for any intelligent Demonic Beasts.

Because there is no hope in sight.

Fear.

In this situation, the Trayastrimsa Heaven, intending to buy time with depth, had no choice but to send these special Demonic Beasts to dig underground networks in order to reduce the threat of swords and cannons to the Demonic Beasts.

If Lingxiao Palace were to lose its sharp swords and heavy cannons, they were confident that with their remaining 800,000 or so Demonic Beasts, it would be no difficult task to expel and annihilate all the humans who dared to set foot in Muzhou.

"Digging Beasts, we need more Digging Beasts."

The roar of the Trayastrimsa Heavenly Lord echoed.

Besides the Demonic Beasts king Jiale, there were four other Demonic Beasts kings beside it.

In some other places, the Demonic Beasts King's figure can still be seen appearing and disappearing.

In just a few short years since Muzhou was conquered, the number of Demonic Beasts kings in Muzhou has increased from two to twelve.

After all, the Demon Realm rifts that exist in Muzhou can accommodate catastrophic-level Demonic Spirit crossing over.

Even with malnutrition, Demonic Spirit of this level can grow into Demonic Beasts king; it just takes more time.

If one consumes enough spiritual energy, one can transform into Demonic Beasts king.

During this period, Muzhou's development was unrestricted, and more than forty catastrophic-level Demonic Spirit emerged.

Because of the opening cycle of the Demon Realm Rift, the time it takes for these calamity-level demon Demonic Spirit to transform into Demonic Beasts is still short. However, if given another one to two years, given the number of creatures they control in the four Wood Continents, these forty-odd calamity-level Demonic Spirit Demonic Beasts transformed into demon kings will all be able to grow to the level of Demonic Beasts kings.

"When the next batch of Demonic Spirit arrives, some will transform into burrowing creatures to set up the battlefield, some will transform into reconnaissance creatures with a keen sense of smell, and the rest will transform into birds to patrol the sky and learn the detailed movements of those human armies..."

The Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven was planning this great war in Muzhou.

However, through the birds, it also thought of the war Spirit Artifact called "Mysterious Bird Fighters" that the human Heavenly Lord had crafted.

These war Spirit Artifact fly so fast that they patrol the sky and annihilate the birds that were originally acting as "eyes" at an extremely high speed, causing their intelligence to be severely delayed.

Furthermore, the humans possessed a technology to detect the aura of Demonic Beasts, which put them on the defensive throughout the war against Muzhou, leading to their rapid defeat. Therefore...

"We need a combat unit that excels at concealment and disguise so that we can detect the movements of these humans and ensure that our information is not completely blocked..."

The ferocious and terrifying eyes of the Trayastrimsa Heaven gleamed with a wisdom as keen as that of a human.

The next time the Demon Realm Rift opens, it will send this message back.

The other spirit lords ordered their servants to improve the "demon body" system.

"Boom!"

Just as the Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven was pondering, a deafening roar seemed to come from the horizon.

"Did it thunder?"

Despite acquiring a demonic body, their previous life characteristics as Demonic Spirit still made them somewhat afraid of the extremely masculine power of thunder.

Its gaze instinctively turned toward the direction from which the thunder came.

However, before it could see exactly where the lightning came from in the sky, a dazzling golden light had already pierced the sky, like a meteor falling from the heavens, carrying overwhelming power as it crashed heavily into the ground.

A massive Demonic Beasts king, its body engulfed in raging flames, located a kilometer away from it, was struck by the meteorite, resembling a colossal elephant whose head had been blown off by a sniper rifle...

"Bang!"

A visible white shockwave, mixed with blood mist, exploded from the Demonic Beasts king's body.

Its massive body, weighing hundreds of tons, was pierced through by this powerful, downward-falling attack.

"Roar!"

Its massive body wailed, like a seven- or eight-story building about to collapse, being carried by inertia and crashing to the ground.

But before it could fully unleash its power, a terrifying force erupted from the ground.

However, the force that had pierced its body and was still falling to the ground with undiminished momentum began to be released.

The moment this power was released, it created an extremely violent impact, violently ripping away the ground within a radius of tens of meters.

Countless stone chips, soil layers, and dust spread in all directions under the sweep of this force.

The spreading force further bombarded the Demonic Beasts king that was collapsing in this direction. Even though the Demonic Beasts king's body weighed over a hundred tons, it was still smashed away by this dissipating shockwave, lifted up, and thrown dozens of meters in the opposite direction before crashing heavily to the ground.

The shockwave spread even further, tearing everything within a radius of thousands of meters—flowers, trees, soil, and rocks—into shreds.

Some of the smaller Demonic Beasts were even blown away and thrown thousands of meters away by the shockwave.

At the very core, a large hole, nearly forty meters in diameter and five or six meters deep, resembling a meteorite crater, rapidly formed.

Standing in the center of the pit...

It was a metal giant that had descended from the sky, its body still standing four meters tall even when it was half-crouching.

The passage through the Demonic Beasts's enormous body left no trace of blood on him.

Or rather, the high temperature and energy released by the impact evaporated the bloodstains.

What is presented to everyone at this moment is a sci-fi scene with golden light flowing through it.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing metallic giant, the eyes of the Thing Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven shrank drastically on his ferocious face.

"Gu Jinlai!"

At the same time, the remaining Demonic Beasts kings also saw through the swirling dust, their emotions fluctuating violently.

"It's that human Heavenly Lord!"

"He's here! How did he get here!?"

However, Gu Jinlai, dressed in the Cheng Ying mecha, ignored the shock of these Demonic Beasts kings.

He straightened up, looked straight ahead, and gripped the newly made Cheng Ying battle sword tightly in his hand.

As expected, this place, known for its intense black aura, is home to six Demonic Beasts kings.

The next moment, the power beneath his feet exploded.

Charge forward with great strides.

Propelled by the blue light emitted from the engine, his speed instantly reached its maximum.

He was like a peerless divine sword, drawn from its sheath with overwhelming force.

Accelerate at 1000 km/h!

The golden figure crashed through the surrounding dust and debris amidst a white shockwave and a roar, appearing almost instantly in front of the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord.

"Not good!"

The expression on the face of the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord changed drastically. He moved all four legs at the fastest speed to move sideways. At the same time, his twelve arms were like twelve sharp killing weapons, stabbing towards the Cheng Ying mecha. The attack that was formed in an instant was like a net that sealed off the space in front of him.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to One - All Directions Annihilated!

The burst of power from Gu Jinlai own body, combined with the amplification of the engine's thrust, allowed him to swing his sword before the twelve arms could form a complete blockade.

The rapidly spinning sword instantly severed three of the Demonic Beasts king's arms, sending four of them flying.

However, the advantage brought by twelve arms is still enormous.

Of the remaining five arms, three were like sharp blades, slashing viciously at his body.

Despite the powerful defenses of the Immortal Refined Gold itself, this Demonic Beasts king still managed to leave its mark.

The shockwave blasted through his immortal adamantite armor, striking his body. While it didn't injure him, it still caused his Qi and Blood to surge.

The attacks from three directions, in particular, caused him to lose his balance as he charged at full speed, and he was on the verge of being knocked off his balance by the immense force contained in his arms.

At the critical moment, the eternal furnace within his Gu Jinlai roared to life. A burst of blue light erupted, and he, clearly on the verge of losing his balance, accelerated, instantly Demonic Beasts from the twelve...

It broke through the strangulation of nine arms.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the other four Demonic Beasts kings also seemed to have finally noticed the movement here.

Seeing that they Gu Jinlai been injured by the Trayastrimsa Spirit, they roared and pounced in this direction at top speed, their demonic flames surging wildly.

"Humans!?"

"He's not as powerful as we thought. Kill him!"

" From Gu Jinlai the present! Today is your death day. In all my life, I have never devoured a human with a True Spirit."

The Demonic Beasts roared, its voice shaking the mountains and forests.

Judging from the surging demonic flames on their bodies, three of these Demonic Beasts kings had already perfected their cultivation of the indestructible demonic body.

That kind of momentum...

"Too powerful! As expected of Demonic Beasts king with a perfected Undying Demon Body, comparable to a top-tier Celestial Person, or even a peak Celestial Person."

This has been a source of much discussion Gu Jinlai.

The enemy is too strong.

In this way, he would not be able to leave them with their bodies intact.

A five-headed Demonic Beasts king.

The Essence Blood within them must have created countless demon god guards with the physique of mid-level or even high-level warriors.

Seeing the spider-like Demonic Beasts king and the remaining four Demonic Beasts kings roaring and attacking, the boiling demonic flames on their bodies would arouse the desires of any Celestial Person. Gu Jinlai gripped the new Cheng Ying sword tightly in his backhand.

As the spider-like Demonic Beasts king roared and pounced, he unleashed a burst of power from his feet, and as the blue light from the engine behind him shot out, the battle sword in his hand crashed down towards the Demonic Beasts king.

Seeing that Gu Jinlai had not escaped, the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord was overjoyed, and a large amount of extremely tough spider silk began to gather in its pouch. "I will bind him, you..."

"Buzz!"

Light!

Before the Lord of the Trayastrimsa could finish speaking, and before he could even finish spitting out the spider web, a dazzling light that stripped away everything in the world completely filled his vision and senses.

Along with the intense light came high temperatures.

It was a temperature that no living being could withstand with their flesh and blood.

Under such high temperatures, even though it was Demonic Beasts king transformed from a spirit lord, it could clearly feel its body being burned to ashes at an extremely fast speed.

"Ah!"

It only had time to activate its last bit of spirituality and let out a mournful cry before its body was completely swallowed up by the dazzling light.
