Supplies

Led by Si Xinghui, the group quickly arrived at the Demon Slaying Hall.

Compared to the powerful presence of Jin Fantian, the Lord of the Demon-Slaying Hall in Fengyu City, the Lord of Haifeng City is merely an ordinary Saint, whose influence cannot be compared to that of Si Xinghui.

Haifeng City is ultimately one of the twelve inner ring cities, and the number of Demonic Beasts in the surrounding area is not large, so there is no need to waste a peak saint on the position of the Demon Slayer Hall Master.

"Please."

Gu Jinlai directly took out the Demon-Slaying Token.

The Lord of the Demon-Slaying Hall in Haifeng City accepted the token and quickly activated the Heavenly Shadow Instrument.

As the Heavenly Shadow Instrument was activated, Si Xinghui, along with Wu Yan and Lei Xuanyu who were also brought along, opened their eyes wide at the same time.

They knew that Gu Jinlai, there had been countless instances of someone single-handedly slaying the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor, dozens of Demon Emperors, and wiping out millions of Demonic Beasts, but they didn't know exactly how they did it.

Hearing is believing.

Seeing is believing, and they don't want to miss a single detail.

As the light and shadow are projected through the celestial projector, the first thing that catches the eye is a scene that surges forward like a tidal wave.

Although most of these Demonic Beasts were just ordinary Demonic Beasts, with powerful Demonic Beasts making up only one or two out of ten, their sheer number was astounding...

Even a powerful saint, or even a seventh-order saint like Si Xinghui who cultivates top-tier Divine Ability and wields divine weapons, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine.

If the Demonic Beasts gain air superiority, they will be forced to fall into the center of these Demonic Beasts and Demonic Beasts to the death...

They will definitely have every bit of their strength exhausted by the endless stream of Demonic Beasts.

Once the energy is depleted, even the body of a saint cannot be maintained. How can one withstand the bites of those Demonic Beasts?

This scene of densely packed Demonic Beasts lasted for quite a while, accompanied by thunderous roars, and five figures appeared simultaneously before the group.

"It's the Demon Emperors! Five Demon Emperors!"

Si Xinghui's heart trembled. "These Demon Emperors have formed a formation. Even if I wield a divine weapon and unleash seventh-tier combat power, I might not be able to defeat these five Demon Emperors in a short time. Gu Jinlai..."

As for Wu Yan and Lei Xuanyu, they were even worse off.

Five demon emperors blocked the way ahead, and a million Demonic Beasts surged below...

If this were them, it would be a dead end.

The next moment, they saw the solution to the problem that Gu Jinlai.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, bypassing the blockade of the five Demon Emperors, and his gaze shifted, landing directly on...

"It's the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor!"

"The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor has appeared!"

" From Gu Jinlai, he actually killed the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor amidst a multitude of Demon Emperors and Demon Kings!? I thought the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor was arrogant and was killed by him when he tried to intercept Gu Jinlai alone..."

The three city lords were deeply shaken.

Killing the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor amidst a group of Demon Emperors is entirely different from luring him out and killing him alone.

It's like fighting a boss when there's only one boss and a lot of elite mobs around it.

The difficulty levels are completely different.

Before they could even be shocked by the simultaneous appearance of the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor and numerous Demon Emperors and Demon Kings, the intense and dazzling light had already completely filled the scene recorded by the Heavenly Image Instrument.

In that dazzling light, everyone could vaguely see that the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor, whose body had undergone numerous modifications and was clearly incredibly powerful, was directly and utterly crushed into dust.

"The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor... is dead?"

He just died like that?!

Without even a chance to resist, they were instantly obliterated by this intense and dazzling light!

Even though they had been mentally prepared, when Si Xinghui, Wu Yan, and Lei Xuanyu actually saw this scene, they still felt their thoughts go blank, just like the dazzling white light before them.

"Great Divine Ability... truly great Divine Ability..."

Wu Yan's body began to tremble slightly.

That's Divine Ability!

At the Void Immortal stage, they are second only to those peerless Void Immortals who have received divine weapons as their masters!

"How... is this possible..."

Si Xinghui's face also turned pale.

But that wasn't the most unbelievable thing for them. What was even more terrifying was the constant flashes of intense light that followed.

This is...

A radiance akin to that of a great Divine Ability!

Each time the light shone, at least one Demon Emperor was crushed into dust, while hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts were also affected by the released energy waves and vanished into nothingness.

Similarly, each glimmer of brilliance struck the hearts of the three like a heavy hammer, causing their hearts to tremble violently and ache.

Then they found it even harder to breathe.

"The release of a single Great Divine Ability -level attack can be attributed to the aid of external forces, magical artifacts, or divine weapons. However, the ability to release two or three Great Divine Ability consecutively... this is the standard for a Great Divine Ability user!"

Wu Yan muttered to himself, somewhat losing his composure. "Great Divine Ability Being! Great Divine Ability Being! This is... the power of a Great Divine Ability Being!"

Compared to Wu Yan, Si Xinghui was even more terrified.

Even someone with great Divine Ability couldn't release their Divine Ability at such a high frequency.

Each time they unleash their great Divine Ability powers, they need to prepare for a long time.

Some people prepare in a breath or two, while others take as long as half a minute to prepare.

But Gu Jinlai...

If it weren't for the fact that the subsequent burst of light was significantly less powerful than the attack that annihilated the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor, he would have even thought that Gu Jinlai was a true immortal.

A true immortal residing in this world!

Only a true immortal who has remained in the world can release great Divine Ability continuously, just like ordinary Divine Ability.

No!

He is a celestial being who has remained in this world!

Because...

Even though the power of the Divine Ability he released afterward was somewhat reduced compared to the great Divine Ability he used in the first attack, there were still too many instances of it!

Dozens of times, hundreds of times, or even hundreds of times!

This is definitely not a power that a great Divine Ability being could possess!

Only those immortals who have transformed their bodies into energy, constantly interact with heaven and earth, and even directly draw upon the power of heaven and earth to unleash their Divine Abilities, can squander it like this!

"A true immortal reincarnated! A true immortal reincarnated! Gu Jinlai, he has absolutely been a true immortal reincarnated!"

At this moment, Si Xinghui spoke with absolute certainty, no longer doubting Gu Jinlai identity. "In some aspects, he even retains the essence of a true immortal! He can use some Divine Ability powers that only a mortal true immortal can wield!"

"Buzz!"

On the celestial mirror, radiant light flowed.

After all the images finished playing, a round of numbers was quickly calculated.

"Three hundred and forty-nine billion..."

This number is astonishingly large.

However, considering the number of Demonic Beasts eliminated in this battle Gu Jinlai, Si Xinghui felt it was entirely reasonable.

"Three hundred billion."

Gu Jinlai a slight nod.

Although the Holy Dynasty's upper echelons did not want to break ties with Demonic Beasts, the contribution values given to top Demonic Beasts were completely disproportionate to their status and strength. However, throughout Gu Jinlai, in addition to annihilating Demon Emperors, Demon Kings, and Demon Lords, they also killed more than a million ordinary Demonic Beasts.

It was the contributions of these Demonic Beasts that caused his contribution value to soar to 300 billion.

"The Heavenly Shadow Instrument has verified that I have 300 billion contribution points. I plan to exchange all of these contribution points for the Cultivation Resources I need. I would like to trouble the three city lords to help me prepare the necessary supplies."

Gu Jinlai's gaze shifted to Si Xinghui, Wu Yan, and Lei Xuanyu, and he grinned, "The three city lords wouldn't disagree, would they?"

Looking into the eyes of people from Gu Jinlai...

Recalling the scene of those powerful demon emperors, whose strength was no less than theirs, being swatted like flies, the three city lords, who controlled the lives of hundreds of millions of people, swallowed hard, their voices trembling. "No... we dare not... we absolutely dare not..."

"Since you don't dare, then go and prepare."

Gu Jinlai said, "Three hundred billion contribution points, if exchanged for various cultivation materials... even at twenty million per unit, could yield fifteen thousand units..."

He paused, then turned to the three men. "However, the three of you just framed me in every way, even causing the Holy Lord to wrongly persecute loyal officials and put me on the list of demonic cultists. Is it too much for me to ask for some compensation for emotional distress?"

Even a powerful figure like the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor couldn't escape being slapped to death by Gu Jinlai. At this moment, the three of them were terrified.

Gu Jinlai, if compensation is demanded, their lives are almost guaranteed to be saved.

In an instant, the three nodded repeatedly. "Not at all, not at all! Not at all!"

"I'm not an unreasonable person. Those valuable cultivation materials are theoretically worth 20 million contribution points per set, but there's a lot of exaggeration involved. I don't want to know exactly how much exaggeration there is. Just give me 30,000 sets of materials out of 300 billion contribution points."

Gu Jinlai, he said directly, "I need six kinds of treasures: Immortal Refined Gold, Heavenly Spirit Wood, Floating Water, Six Yang Flame Crystal, Obsidian Divine Stone, and Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold. I need six thousand of each kind, which are worth exactly three hundred billion."

The revelation of this number sent a shiver down the spines of the three city lords.

Six thousand copies.

To really gather all these supplies...

They will absolutely go bankrupt.

This is essentially a choice between saving your life and saving your money.

"Six treasures, six thousand of each?"

Lei Xuanyu, however, carefully calculated for a moment, then paused, and cautiously said, "This... you must have miscalculated the number..."

"Did I miscalculate?"

Gu Jinlai said in an unquestionable tone, "I didn't miscalculate. I want treasures of the Five Elements, six thousand of each. Is there a problem?"

Lei Xuanyu was about to say something more, but Si Xinghui immediately interrupted, saying emphatically, "No problem, absolutely no problem."

In any case, let's stall for time first.

Gathering supplies also takes time.

Wu Yan, standing to the side, nodded emphatically, recalling the special envoy from Taihao Cave Heaven who was on his way.

Although they felt that even if Elder Si Xuanyuan of Taihao Cave Heaven arrived, he probably wouldn't be of much use, what if...?

What if those elders carry some powerful treasures that can deter Gu Jinlai from acting rashly?

Or perhaps they activated the city's protective formation while the Supreme Elder and Gu Jinlai fighting?

There should still be hope.

Otherwise, what's the difference between them and salted fish?

"It seems that everyone has agreed."

Gu Jinlai nodded in satisfaction and took out another audio-visual stone. "With your personal admission, my subordinates who have already gone to Liuhuo City and Zilei City can directly collect their goods."
