Surrender
"Buzz!"
The next moment, a sudden surge of inspiration struck.
The three peerless immortals clearly felt that the spiritual energy they had drawn with the power of their grotto-heavens suddenly became sluggish at this moment.
Seem...
Contact with them has been severed!?
"How could this inspiration come so suddenly..."
Duanmu Chengyun, who was most sensitive to and adept at sensing and utilizing spiritual power, instantly realized something. "Oh no! He has also mastered the method of using spiritual power!"
"How is that possible? Our spiritual energy is based on the power of the cave heaven. He doesn't control the cave heaven, so how could he interfere with the spiritual energy we activate?"
Si Wuyai was deeply shaken.
There is only one explanation!
Dong Xuanzi said in a deep voice, "His application and understanding of spiritual power far surpasses ours!"
Si Wuyai and Duanmu Chengyun's expressions changed simultaneously.
Without the power of inspiration...
They were merely peerless immortals who relied entirely on divine weapons.
This power may be strong enough to make them invincible in the realm of illusory immortals, but it is clearly still a step behind when it comes to fighting against true immortals and demon gods.
"He is ultimately just a person. How can one person's strength contend against a grotto-heaven?! We use the grotto-heaven as our source, drawing upon spiritual energy, and in terms of quantity, we far surpass him! It's like using firewood to boil water. Even if he uses Divine Ability, when the firewood turns into a mountain fire, the energy released in the end is far greater than that of a single Divine Ability!"
Duanmu Chengyun made a decisive move. He suddenly reached out and forcefully clenched his fist towards the distant void.
In the distance, a ripple seemed to appear in the sky above the satellite city occupied by Wuji Cave Heaven, like a mirage projected from the sky.
A rainbow of multicolored light emanated from the phantom, and this light, guided by Duanmu Chengyun, transformed into a rainbow that flowed into his landscape painting at the speed of light.
Even though the spiritual energy was constantly being interfered with, and a large amount of the multicolored radiance would dissipate halfway, only one-tenth of it was enough to make the power of the Mountain and River Map reappear.
"Then let this immortal who has remained in this world see what true power of a grotto-heaven is!"
Si Wuyai and Dong Xuanzi did the same, each using their Divine Ability to draw upon the spiritual energy accumulated within their cave.
The chess piece fell to the center, and the void solidified.
The Haotian Sword was drawn, its sword intent soaring to the heavens.
Furthermore, the Jiangshan Sheji Tu (a map depicting the landscape) infused its power into its body, causing the sacred body manifested by Duanmu Chengyun to expand to a massive two hundred meters in size.
This is...
It is a body that can be considered powerful even among the immortals who reside in the world.
It's just that it hasn't been fully quantified yet, and it's still subject to some forces in the material world.
"As expected of a divine weapon built with countless precious resources by cultivators, its status rivals that of the Celestial Master's floating island. Even one-tenth of its power can support the release of divine weapon power."
Gu Jinlai, he could clearly feel the binding power of the Tianyuan Chess on him, as well as the sword intent of the Haotian Divine Sword that seemed to tear through the void.
"This is the foundation that enables us to fight against the demon god."
With a long roar, Si Wuyai, who had unleashed the Haotian Divine Sword, pierced through the air. "Ancient True Immortal, come, take my Immortal-Slaying Sword!"
"Buzz!"
The sword light vibrated!
The Haotian Divine Sword manifested a majestic sword light hundreds of meters in size, like a spaceship speeding through the universe rushing into the atmosphere of a planet at an extremely high speed.
The burst of Gang Qi from the sword's edge is the flames that explode when the warship rubs against the atmosphere.
Even before the sword arrived, the annihilating power contained within this divine weapon was enough to suffocate anyone who witnessed the scene.
"What a divine sword."
Gu Jinlai felt his body being suppressed by Tianyuan Chess and unable to move, and faced Si Wuyai holding the Haotian Divine Sword: "Then, I will give you the second lesson."
He reached out and gripped the divine weapons in the hands of Si Wuyai and Dong Xuanzi tightly.
"Buzz!"
The two divine weapons trembled violently, and the sword intent and sealing force that had been locked onto Gu Jinlai quickly dissipated, as if they dared not attack him.
With a flick of his finger...
"Clang!"
A thunderous roar, like the sound of a great bell, echoed from the void.
The two divine weapons, Haotian Divine Sword and Tianyuan Chess, were actually blasted away by a force.
And that power...
From within the divine weapon!
It's like a divine weapon rebelling against its master's will, trying to break free from its original owner's control.
No!
It's not like...
That's exactly right.
"My divine weapon!?"
"How could this be...? The connection between Tianyuanqi and me has weakened!?"
"Boom!"
Atmospheric oscillation.
However, Duanmu Chengyun, who was wielding the Jiangshan Sheji Tu (Map of Mountains and Rivers), was amplified by the power of divine weapons, as if he had transformed into a god of mountains and rivers, a primordial deity, and was bombarding the Gu Jinlai.
Wherever his fist struck, mountains, rivers, plains, and even the sun, moon, stars, and all things in heaven and earth poured down upon him. At this moment, it seemed that he was not facing a divine weapon, but an entire world.
"World?"
The voices from Gu Jinlai echoed in the void, "You, at this level, cannot represent heaven and earth."
As he spoke, the power of the lightning domain surged continuously from his body.
With the amplification of the Chaotic Astral Body at the Perfection level, the Child of Stars, and the magnetic field rotation characteristics, a huge thunderous halo appeared in the void.
Countless high-energy reactions burst forth from the thunderous halo, flashing with dazzling brilliance.
The power of mountains and rivers unleashed by Duanmu Chengyun, who wielded the Jiangshan Sheji Tu (a mythical map of mountains and rivers), was completely shredded as it approached the dazzling halo.
But...
This is just the beginning.
As the magnetic field rotation force is activated from Gu Jinlai present, clouds surge within a radius of hundreds of miles around him, seemingly forming a giant vortex.
Because the battlefield they chose was tens of thousands of meters above the ground, right in the thickest part of the troposphere, where the clouds were surging. Looking down from a higher vantage point, it resembled a rapidly forming super typhoon centered on Gu Jinlai.
Right in the center of the typhoon, lightning flashed and thunder roared, creating a storm eye with a diameter of over a thousand meters.
This eye of the storm resonates with the thunderous halo unleashed Gu Jinlai, rotating in reverse. Streaks of lightning begin to appear, and it will likely soon transform this area into a no-man's land.
At that time, any living being or matter that falls into it will be instantly blasted into dust.
Even before the annihilating lightning was released, the three-hundred-meter-long lightning halo and the thousand-meter-long magnetic ring of heaven and earth, rotating in opposite directions, had already formed a powerful pulling force. The force was so strong that even the peerless Void Immortals Si Wuyai, Dong Xuanzi, and Duanmu Chengyun could hardly shake it.
"Not good!"
Dong Xuanzi immediately realized what was happening and suddenly leaped into the air, retreating at full speed before the two lightning halos, one large and one small, could surround him.
But Si Wuyai's eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if he had been aroused to kill. Even though he could not recall the Taihao Divine Sword for the time being, as a peerless sword immortal among the Void Immortals, his brilliant sword light still shot straight into the sky and took the initiative to charge towards the two lightning halos that had not yet closed.
"Duanmu, cooperate with me and tear them apart!"
Si Wuyai let out a long howl.
"Good!"
Duanmu Chengyun was unwilling for three peerless immortals to be suppressed by a single person from Gu Jinlai.
The radiant glow of the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" expanded to a diameter of several thousand meters. The scroll seemed poised to engulf the lightning halo unleashed Gu Jinlai, including the entirety of those Gu Jinlai.
Taking this opportunity, Si Wuyai merged with his sword, and the dazzling sword light slashed fiercely at one of the lightning halos.
The collision of sword light and lightning caused the world to suddenly brighten.
All the light in sight was stripped away by the burst of energy.
"You're not trying to take me away, but this star! A mortal dares to contend with the heavens?!"
The right hand, which has been extended Gu Jinlai, suddenly opens wide.
Duanmu Chengyun, who was already amplified by the power of the Jiangshan Sheji Tu (Map of Mountains and Rivers), immediately felt the two halos rotating in opposite directions suddenly accelerate, releasing an even more violent pulling force.
This force was so strong that even the divine weapon on his body seemed unable to withstand it. Countless images of mountains and rivers collapsed, and the entire divine weapon was being torn apart bit by bit at an alarming speed.
"My map of the land and its people..."
Duanmu Chengyun's face turned pale.
If this continues, he doesn't know if Si Wuyai's sword light can shatter the lightning halos of Gu Jinlai, but his divine weapon...
This divine weapon, which Wuji Cave Heaven relied on to fight against the demon god, will inevitably be completely destroyed.
"We can't hold on any longer! Si Wuyai, retreat quickly!"
With a loud shout, Duanmu Chengyun caused the Jiangshan Sheji Map to quickly shrink and retract into his body.
Without the suppression of the Jiangshan Sheji Map, Si Wuyai could feel the energy emanating from the lightning halo growing stronger and stronger.
"Boom!"
Unexpected!
The lightning bolt, with a diameter of one kilometer, shot out a dazzling burst of light that was too bright to look at directly, and struck Si Wuyai at the speed of light.
The terrifyingly high temperature instantly charred Si Wuyai's sacred body, causing a large chunk to shatter.
Realizing what was happening, his heart sank rapidly.
"The two Thunder Auras... have begun to merge..."
Duanmu Chengyun's face turned deathly pale.
The arrival of this lightning bolt...
This is just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, even more and more violent lightning sources poured out from the lightning halo with a diameter of one kilometer, and countless bolts of lightning almost filled and covered everyone.
Si Wuyai tried his best to break free from the lightning, but...
The binding forces in this area are too strong.
In addition, each strike of lightning inevitably caused the flow of power within his body to stagnate, making him feel as if he were trapped in a quagmire.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his sacred body crumbled bit by bit, inch by inch, under the roar of thunder.
Duanmu Chengyun had a strong desire to use the country and its people to attack Si Wuyai.
Just as they had guessed, once the two thunderous halos resonated and clashed, any living being or matter that fell into them would be instantly crushed into dust.
Even a divine weapon is no exception.
If this trend continues, in just one or two breaths, this peerless illusory immortal will be crushed into dust, just like the Xuan Yang Demon God Gu Jinlai.
At this moment, Si Wuyai finally felt the fear of death. His whole body stiffened and he could not speak. He could only look at Gu Jinlai with pleading eyes.
Duanmu Chengyun, jolted awake, suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "We surrender! The ancient immortal's divine might is unparalleled! You've won! We surrender!"
