Demon Realm Civilization

This is a place...

A space similar to the underground.

A glance at it, Gu Jinlai.

Among the hundreds of dark, swarming Demonic Spirit, not a single one could be found that was of catastrophic quality.

There are only about a dozen large Demonic Spirit.

What's the use of having a large quantity if the quality is like this?

Gu Jinlai, people have worried whether the spiritual energy they generate after their disintegration will be enough to help them repair the Cheng Ying mech.

"This is troublesome; there are too few Demonic Spirit."

Zhang Li Fire Path.

But after saying this, his expression became somewhat strange.

When did human exorcists start complaining that there weren't enough Demonic Spirit?

"We have three Heavenly Lords. The True Spirit of the Heavenly Lords are extremely tempting to Demonic Spirit, especially in the Demon Realm. They are like candlelight in the darkness. It won't be long before Demonic Spirit arrive."

The Way of the I Ching.

"Let's kill these Demonic Spirit first."

It has Gu Jinlai.

As he spoke, he suddenly strode forward.

He didn't even need to use the Eternal Heavenly Incantation to maintain the eternal radiance of the Great Sun; wherever he went, those Demonic Spirit were annihilated.

Whether Demonic Spirit or small, all Demonic Spirit were burned to ashes under the eternal radiance of this Three-Step Heavenly Lord, and their scattered demonic nature was refined into spirituality and injected into the Cheng Ying mech.

However, Demonic Spirit themselves possess intelligence.

Upon realizing that these three humans were too powerful for them to contend with, they let out a sharp cry and scattered in all directions.

This situation has suddenly increased the difficulty for Gu Jinlai to acquire spirituality.

"No, if this continues, we won't be able to obtain enough spiritual energy to repair the mechs before the Akiyama Rift closes."

Gu Jinlai said, "Although the opening time has been extended in recent years due to the expansion of the Autumn Mountain Crack, it is still less than an hour. We cannot passively wait for the Demonic Spirit to come. Zhou Tianjun and Zhang Tianjun, you wait here. I will go to scout the surrounding area to see if I can drive away some powerful Demonic Spirit."

"Go and scout the surrounding area..."

Zhang Lihuo was somewhat worried.

However, considering the impact on Lingxiao Palace if the Cheng Ying mech could not be repaired, he could only say in the end, "Be extremely careful."

Gu Jinlai nodded, strode forward, and ran wildly, instantly bursting out of the cave that seemed to be an underground space.

As he rushed out of the cave, what first appeared before him was not an endless, desolate scene like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but a high mountain.

A high mountain with an excellent view.

This cave seems to be located precisely on the summit of a large mountain.

However, that's not the point. The point is that when Gu Jinlai rushed out of the cave and looked around, what appeared before him was not the Demonic Spirit that could be seen everywhere.

It's a city!

In a city brimming with civilization!

Although the city's style is completely different from that of Blue Star and Qian Tian, what catches the eye is a large amount of...

The buildings resemble pupa-like metal structures, and occasionally towering spires that look like the barbs on a giant creature.

Although the style is strange, these buildings are clearly full of the atmosphere of civilization.

"The civilization of the Demon Realm?"

From Gu Jinlai, they have murmured to themselves.

He had always known that the Demonic Spirit in the Demon Realm possessed intelligence and that they must have their own civilization, but seeing a city belonging to the "Demonic Spirit" with his own eyes, and seeing buildings so different from human civilization, still gave him an indescribable sense of awe.

"Etc!"

At this moment, Gu Jinlai seemed to realize something. "Strictly speaking, Demonic Spirit are spiritual beings. If they really want to build cities... do they need buildings?"

Before he could figure out the problem, strong spiritual fluctuations came from afar.

Or rather, a demonic fluctuation.

The Demonic Spirit issued a warning in a way that was completely incomprehensible Gu Jinlai, and then a large number of Demonic Spirit appeared in his field of vision.

Medium-sized Demonic Spirit, large Demonic Spirit, catastrophic Demonic Spirit, and even...

Spirit Lord!

A large number of Demonic Spirit, ranging in size from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, swept in from the direction of the city.

Thousands.

Although there aren't many Spirit Venerables over 100 meters tall, their number is definitely more than five.

"Five Spirit Lord-level Demonic Spirit!"

His expression changed from Gu Jinlai the present.

This is only the number of Spirit Lords he has seen so far.

This is definitely not a place of kindness.

"Go back."

Gu Jinlai, they have never hesitated to turn around and rush into the cave.

Demonic Spirit are spiritual beings that can penetrate a large number of rocks, trees, rivers, and streams.

But all things have a spirit.

Plants, trees, mountains, and rivers are no exception.

Although Demonic Spirit can pass through mountains, rocks, rivers, and forests, they are also affected, losing their spirituality.

Even those bunkers hidden hundreds or even thousands of meters deep cannot be penetrated by Demonic Spirit using their own spiritual life characteristics.

"Call out!"

Gu Jinlai moved swiftly and quickly arrived at the crevice in the autumn mountain.

Noticing that Gu Jinlai's expression was off, Zhou Yi quickly asked, "What happened?"

"This is a very dangerous place. After I appeared, I was detected by the Demonic Spirit of the Demon Realm. They summoned a large number of Demonic Spirit in the surrounding area through special means. I saw more than five spirit lord-level Demonic Spirit. Be prepared to retreat at any time."

The road has been hurried Gu Jinlai.

"Spirit Venerable-level Demonic Spirit!? Five of them!?"

Zhou Yi and Zhang Lihuo couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"How could that be? Spirit Lords are extremely rare in the Demon Realm. It is said that a thousand years ago, when the Creators led their teams deep into the Demon Realm, they might not encounter a Spirit Lord for a month or two."

The Way of the I Ching.

There are three possibilities.

From Gu Jinlai, it has been said, "One possibility is that the number of Spirit Venerables is indeed very small. Even if the Creator spends only one or two months in the Demon Realm, he might not encounter one. The second possibility is that the Spirit Venerables sensed the Creator's aura at the time and quickly avoided him. And the third possibility is..."

Zhou Yi seemed to realize something, and his heart sank. "After a thousand years of accumulation, the number of Spirit Venerables has increased dramatically?"

He then couldn't help but say, "Demonic Spirit need a lot of spiritual energy to grow. Given the scarcity of spiritual energy in the Demon Realm, it's unlikely that a thousand years would be enough for a large number of already rare Spirit Lords to appear..."

After saying that, his pupils shrank. "The human realm and the Demon Realm have basically completely conquered our world."

"The human realm."

Gu Jinlai, people have known what the Book of Changes (Zhouyi) refers to.

Their world is home to countless living beings.

This applies not only to humans, the most intelligent of all living beings, but also to other creatures.

By devouring a large number of intelligent beings, the Demon Realm's strength has exploded, and the number of Spirit Lords has increased dramatically...

This seems to be the most correct answer.

However, Gu Jinlai have been unable to help but think of those strange buildings.

The Demonic Spirit probably don't need these buildings that exude an aura of civilization.

So...

"Watch out, the Demonic Spirit is coming!"

Zhang Lihuo shouted loudly.

"No matter what, we must repair the Cheng Ying mech. The three spirit lords are one in front and two behind. While I am blocking that spirit lord, I will severely injure and kill several calamity-level Demonic Spirit. You will be responsible for guiding the spirituality of these calamity-level Demonic Spirit into the Cheng Ying mech to complete the repair of the mech."

This Gu Jinlai.

"You... you're blocking the Spirit Lord!?"

Zhou Yi was somewhat shocked.

"The Supreme Elder should be able to hold them off for a short time."

Zhang Lihuo had some confidence in Gu Jinlai and solemnly said, "I will certainly not disappoint the Supreme Elder."

As they were speaking, a large number of Demonic Spirit rushed into the cave.

The leader was none other than a three-headed calamity-level Demonic Spirit.

"In terms of devouring spirituality, catastrophic Demonic Spirit, and even large Demonic Spirit, will not humbly let the Spirit Lord make the first move. In other words, we can completely have large Demonic Spirit and catastrophic Demonic Spirit block the entrance."

As Zhou Yi spoke, he said in a low voice, "Palace Master, control your output and severely injure these Demonic Spirit first. Once the Demonic Spirit spirits that have surged in have enough spiritual energy to repair the Cheng Ying Mech, then deliver the final blow."

"Good."

The Gu Jinlai responded with a shout, and the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique was unleashed.

It was as if a great sun appeared above his head, shining on the Demonic Spirit surging out of the cave. Instantly, all the Demonic Spirit screamed miserably, and a large amount of their spiritual energy dissipated.

Some large Demonic Spirit even dissipated directly under the brilliance of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique, and their spirituality was quickly acquired and refined by Zhou Yi and Zhang Lihuo, and then put into the Cheng Ying Mech.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a powerful spiritual shock swept in from a direction unseen by the cave entrance, shaking and intimidating the large, catastrophic Demonic Spirit blocking the entrance.

But...

However, no killings were carried out.

Thousands of years ago, the sages of the Heavenly Master Lineage had already studied that when a powerful Demonic Spirit devours a weak Demonic Spirit, it will be affected by the weak Demonic Spirit. Over time, this can even affect its own "existence," requiring a great deal of time to wear down the effect.

Just as True Lord cultivates by relying on the will of all living beings, one's consciousness will gradually be twisted by the will of all living beings, causing one to lose oneself.

The same applies to Demonic Spirit.

Moreover, as spiritual beings, they have an even greater influence.

Therefore, apart from a very few Evil Dao Demonic Spirit that have gone astray, the vast majority of Demonic Spirit do not evolve by devouring their own kind.

In the current situation, if there were only a few Demonic Spirit blocking the way of the Spirit Lord, it might have torn them apart and swallowed them whole. However, due to its slow speed and the control of the rhythm by Gu Jinlai, by the time it arrived, there were as many as a hundred Demonic Spirit blocking its way.

"That's about it."

Zhou Yi said, "As long as we can kill 30% of the hundreds of Demonic Spirit in front of us, the extracted spiritual energy will be enough to complete the repair of the Cheng Ying mech."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

He is no longer holding back his firepower.

Within the core of the sun he was visualizing, endless light began to condense, blasting towards a calamity-level Demonic Spirit that had already had a large amount of demonic energy burned away by the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique.

With a single blow, the weakened catastrophe-level Demonic Spirit was directly blasted apart, and a large amount of demonic energy scattered around. Zhang Lihuo then collected it, refined it with the Great Sun Core, and injected it into the Cheng Ying Mech.

To ensure efficiency, Gu Jinlai almost completely ignored the large Demonic Spirit and have been targeting and eliminating the catastrophic Demonic Spirit one by one.

Soon, the spiritual energy needed to repair the Chengying mech was gathered.

"Elder, that's enough, we should go now!"

Zhang Li Fire Path.

Gu Jinlai nodded.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a huge Demonic Spirit struggled and "squeezed" out from the mountain wall on his left.

Even though much of its demonic energy was worn away as it passed through the mountain wall, its size...

It is still above 90 meters.

The overwhelming pressure, far surpassing that of ordinary disaster-level Demonic Spirit, fully demonstrated the rank of this Demonic Spirit.

Spirit Lord!
