The Scales Tip

He glanced at the two powerful auras that were approaching from Gu Jinlai.

He could vaguely sense the auras of Demon Emperors and Demon Sovereigns spreading out from all directions like a vast net.

Having experienced the depletion of his Chaotic Starlight Body, Gu Jinlai flew over and began examining the remains of the Xuan Yang Demon God.

The damage is severe.

But...

Some materials, however, can be recycled and reused.

He immediately stored the remains of the demon god in his storage ring, then his body crackled with electricity as he flew through the void back towards the Holy Dynasty.

After a direct confrontation with the Xuan Yang Demon God, the Chaos Star Body, which was known for its explosive power, was almost exhausted.

He might be able to fight the two demon gods with the power of the Eternal Furnace, but the Eternal Furnace's current power level needs to be charged up to pose a fatal threat to the demon gods.

With two demon gods present, the opponent would never give him that chance.

After all, once Demonic Beasts reaches the Demon Emperor stage, it will consciously work to improve its weaknesses.

Defense, attack, speed, flight, ranged attack, control, interference...

They have every means at their disposal.

Not to mention demons and gods.

It's simply a matter of which one you're better at.

Not long after Gu Jinlai left, two equally enormous figures arrived one after the other.

Of the two demon gods, the Star-Scarred Demon God...

It was almost impossible to tell that it was human.

It looks more like a polygonal prism with a diameter of over 180 meters.

The light shimmered in every direction, making it appear crystal clear.

The other Dragon Sky Demon God is somewhat similar to the Heavenly Dragon Wood.

It is only about 300 meters long and has a metallic sheen.

If this demon were still alive Gu Jinlai, it would look very much like the Steel Seadramon.

Neither of the two demon gods spoke after they arrived.

After a while, the Star Mark Demon God, who had been quietly sensing for a moment, released a wave of energy. "I have contacted Xuan Yang. It has uploaded footage of the human named Gu Jinlai fighting against us. Our servants will soon develop a tactical plan to counter this human."

"I hope it won't be too complicated. Supporting this body has already taken up all my strength, and I can no longer accommodate or calculate too much information."

Dragon Sky Demon God responded.

"The moment Xuan Yang saw this human, it had already requested the most reasonable tactics from the Tower of Immortality and calculated all the variables, including us. However, it underestimated the power this human possessed. The method this human used in the end... Xuan Yang said, it was as if it saw a celestial lord who had not yet grown up."

Star Mark Demon God Path.

"The power of a celestial realm!?"

A ripple spread across the Dragon Sky Demon God's body. "This human actually possesses such potential!?"

"In the past, if such a powerful figure with astonishing potential had appeared, we would have launched a full-scale war, even at the cost of crushing the Holy Dynasty, but now..."

Star-Scarred Demon God glanced in the direction where he had disappeared from Gu Jinlai and sighed, "He appeared at the perfect time."

"A future immortal lord..."

The Demon God Longxiao said in a deep voice, "Shouldn't Bloodswamp Demon Abyss have sent a demon god to let us deal with this potential threat first?"

"This method... I'm afraid it won't work, but..."

The Star-Scarred Demon God pondered, "I will request the Devil Master to summon the Spirit Lord!"

"Spirit Lord!?"

The Demon God Longxiao was startled. "With so many Spirit Venerables descending, one wrong move could provoke that terrifying monster again... If that happens, the Dark Ages of a thousand years ago might be repeated..."

"Times have changed."

Star-Scarred Demon God said, "On one hand, we are only one crucial step away from victory, and the power of the Spirit Lord may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. On the other hand..."

The demon god's spiritual energy gradually intensified. "We have the great Emperor Cangming."

"Your Majesty Cangming!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Sky Demon God stopped arguing.

"Of course, the great Devil Master will make the right decision regarding the specifics."

As the Star-Scarred Demon God spoke, he glanced once more in the direction of the Holy Dynasty: "In today's battle, the human race has already tested our true strength. It is foreseeable that our situation will become rather difficult from now on..."

Dragon Sky Demon God nodded. "When necessary, shrink the defensive perimeter again. We can abandon some less important resource points."

"This is the only way."

Star Mark Demon God said, "Even if they obtain some resource points, it will be difficult for them to cultivate many strong individuals in a short period of time. As for the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss Battlefield... it won't be long before the outcome is decided, and time is on our side."

The two demon gods quickly made a decision.

On the other side, Gu Jinlai flew through the air and quickly returned to Liuhuo City.

Compared to the somber mood he had when he left, he seemed much more relaxed now.

They finally discovered the Demonic Beasts's true nature.

Condition...

It's even better than what Ding Zhongyuan said.

A large number of demon gods were conscripted and sent to the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss battlefield, leaving only three to five demon gods truly behind.

He even personally destroyed one of them...

"Unfortunately, I can't hold back against such a terrifying monster. The value of the demon god's remains is already low. If I could obtain a complete demon god's body, perhaps..."

Gu Jinlai have pondered this.

He carefully recalled the Celestial Master system and the Demonic Spirit system...

The two systems are very similar.

After all, the Celestial Master system was developed to counter the Demonic Spirit system.

The development process also clearly referenced the Demonic Spirit system.

Humans simply surpassed their predecessors by virtue of being the most intelligent of all creatures.

Demonic Spirit can control the bodies of demon gods, and so can celestial masters.

"No, the student surpasses the master. If we truly consider the bodies of demon gods as mechs, the Celestial Masters are far more accomplished in this regard..."

Gu Jinlai, people have thought of the creations of the Celestial Master civilization, giant soldiers similar to steel golems.

After a quick comparison, his expression quickly became somewhat strange.

The body of a demon god...

It looks remarkably similar to the Colossus!

Could it be...?

The Demon God's Body is a battle body that Demonic Beasts copied and perfected from the giant divine weapon of the Celestial Master civilization.

"Goodness, you copy me, I copy you. The Celestial Master system and the Demonic Spirit system really do learn and progress together."

However, Gu Jinlai soon thought of the Cheng Ying mech he had created.

Whether it's the Colossus or the Demon God's Body, they are basically just a collection and application of top-notch materials. In terms of technological content, they are far inferior to the Shadow Mech.

The materials required to build one Colossus are enough to manufacture several, or even a dozen, Shadowcraft mechs.

Not to mention the body of a demon god.

The number of top-tier materials used in the body of the demon god must be in the tens of thousands, making the cost astronomically high.

This is why, even though Demonic Beasts have almost taken over the entire world, the amount of demon god bodies they possess has never been high.

Battle losses are one aspect, but the most important issue is the extremely low utilization rate of materials.

If we give him all these materials...

Gu Jinlai, he has been squinting his eyes slightly.

He recorded the entire process of slaying eleven demon emperors and one demon god.

The eleven Demon Emperors are already worth hundreds of billions.

Demon God...

There is no reward.

The impact of being able to kill such a being is far beyond what the bounty can measure.

The fall of a demon god can influence the balance of power between Demonic Beasts and the Holy Dynasty, and can greatly boost the confidence of the Holy Dynasty's human race.

Gu Jinlai, we must find better ways to publicize and utilize this victory.

"Call out!"

Gu Jinlai from the sky and landed directly in the City Lord Mansion.

Seeing that Liu Feiyun came out to greet him immediately, he said directly, "Gather everyone and head to the Demon Slayer Hall. I have something to announce."

"Yes."

Liu Feiyun responded and quickly withdrew.

When Gu Jinlai tidied himself up a bit and arrived at the Demon Slaying Hall, Qi Sheng, Ji Lie, Xuan Zhou, Qin Se and others were already waiting there.

In the direction of Wind and Rain City, Su Shi'an will temporarily take charge of all matters of the City Lord Mansion, Han Qing will temporarily take charge of the Military Command, Yan Lie will be in charge of the Martial Saint Academy, and Xuan Zhen, Zhen Hai, and Yun Qiong will be in charge of the Demon Slaying Hall.

As Liuhuo City is on the front line directly facing Demonic Beasts, Liu Feiyun is currently acting as the City Lord Mansion, Qi Sheng is in charge of the Martial Saint Academy, and Ji Lie is in charge of the Demon Slaying Hall. Xuan Zhou, who originally came from the city guard, has been promoted from deputy commander to commander.

Since the key departments are all in the hands of our own people, there's no need to worry about causing too much trouble.

Gu Jinlai nodded to everyone without going into details, and directly instructed the deputy hall master of the Demon Slaying Hall, a peak Martial King, "Activate the Heavenly Shadow Instrument."

After saying that, he handed over an audio-visual stone.

As the Sky Image Projector was activated, the images recorded in the Audio-Visual Stone were quickly projected.

First, they traversed vast lands Gu Jinlai to wipe out small groups of Demonic Beasts, then arrived at a human concentration camp, where they faced off against the fourteen great demon emperors outside the camp.

The strength that Gu Jinlai displayed in this battle made Ji Lie, Liu Feiyun and others, who were already full of confidence in him, open their eyes wide.

Seeing Xuanzhou and Qinse, Gu Jinlai, for the first time, I felt my breath catch in my throat.

Even a Demon Emperor, whose power rivals that of a Void Immortal, had three of his lords annihilated in a single exchange. Such power...

This far exceeded the imagination of these martial saints.

However, this shock only lasted for a moment. As Gu Jinlai soared into the void and witnessed the Xuan Yang Demon God riding the wind and waves, sweeping out from the clouds, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It's the Xuan Yang Demon God!"

"This is the Xuan Yang Demon God who descended upon Snowdrift City back then, single-handedly shattering the city's protective formation, resulting in the deaths and injuries of tens of millions of people and the disappearance of tens of millions more!"

"My God! A demon god! This is the Xuan Yang Demon God, who is comparable to a mortal immortal!"

"The Supreme Elder!?"

Uncontrollable shouts continued to rise from the crowd.

Liu Feiyun, Qi Sheng, and others kept looking at Gu Jinlai.

They could hardly imagine how their own Supreme Elder had managed to escape with his life from this powerful demon god.

Soon...

They understood.

When the body of the Xuan Yang Demon God was completely obliterated by the lightning blasted out by the two huge halos, the Demon Slaying Hall, which had been somewhat worried and restless, seemed to have been put on pause.

Everyone froze on the spot, staring at the shattered remains of the demon god that had fallen into the void. All their trepidation and fear were frozen in place.
