Fear

After acquiring most of the memories of the Aries Star Lord, the methods Gu Jinlai mastered far exceeded the imagination of other Heavenly Lords, and even the Great Heavenly Lords.

Only...

Fearing that he might be exposed to the Aries Star Lord and refined into a beacon, becoming his incarnation in the material world, he never dared to use even a fraction of it.

He even abandoned any methods involving the True Spirit or even the Celestial Master.

So much so that they could only watch helplessly as the Demon Emperor Kaya and other Spirit Lords forcibly transformed into Demonic Spirit forms and escaped.

But at this very moment, he and the Lord of Aries have already engaged in their final showdown!

Either the Aries Star Lord failed to refine him into a guiding light, causing him to lose his way again, or both were completely cleansed and erased of their own identities by the "concepts" belonging to the Aries Star Lord Gu Jinlai.

In this life-or-death battle, every means were employed, and no method was spared.

Just like what's happening now, the ultimate killing move seen in the memories of the Aries Star Lord Gu Jinlai —the descent of the spirit world.

The power of this move has already reached the realm of the Spirit Lord.

Just like the great Divine Ability involved in the illusory immortals, its power far exceeds the imagination of ordinary creators.

Even the Gu Jinlai "Three Realms" Cultivation Method have benefited from this move, as well as the tip of the iceberg regarding the Spirit Lord realm revealed by this move.

Although no one Gu Jinlai has been able to execute this move like the Aries Star Lord, causing some damage is easy.

With a flick of Gu Jinlai wrist, the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the Aries Star Lord...

It really did dissipate.

It's like a superpower investing countless hours and resources to produce a nuclear bomb, hoping it could turn the tide, only to find it's a dud.

The moment Gu Jinlai pointed his finger out, the less than 20% of the spiritual power that the Aries Star Lord originally had vanished like a tidal wave.

The speed of its demise caused this ancient being, who was revered as the head of the twelve creators during the Holy Age, to change color in shock.

"How dare you interfere with the descent of the spirit world!?"

The Aries ruler immediately did everything in his power to contain his scattered spirituality.

Even so, when he regained the spirituality that sustained his own conception, the spirituality he had left was less than one-hundredth of what it was at its peak.

"I told you that you would refine me into an avatar that walks in the material world. You have succeeded. From now on, I will take your place, possess everything you own, and walk on the earth."

Voices from Gu Jinlai resonate in the spirituality of Aries.

"You glimpsed the secret arts I possessed through your spiritual contact with me?"

Aries, the ruler of the planets, gazes upon the Gu Jinlai.

Although it seems somewhat unbelievable, but...

That feeling just now... it was as if he himself was risking backlash to stop the descent of the spirit world.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, he still had to admit that the other party was so lucky to learn about the "spirit world descending" through a brief memory contact and also master this powerful soul secret technique, thus turning the tide in one fell swoop.

Feeling the last vestiges of his own spirituality, and the True Spirit power that seems to have remained remarkably strong Gu Jinlai...

"It's incredible."

The Aries ruler steadied his mind. "But... this is not the end."

The next moment, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from him and spread towards the massive, gradually solidifying phantom outside the Demon Realm.

This is his intention to abandon the coordinates of Gu Jinlai and return to the spirit world.

Although this would cause him to lose his way, but...

It's better than having a "concept" that exists in itself completely erased.

"Not the end?"

A relaxed smile appeared on Gu Jinlai's face, "No! It's over!"

After saying this, his True Spirit actually merged directly into the special fluctuations on the Aries Star Lord's body, and together with the Aries Star Lord himself, it was transmitted to the spirit body of the Aries Star Lord above the Demon Realm Rift.

Upon seeing this, the Aries Star Lord immediately realized something, and his spiritual energy surged. "You!?"

"I've said it before, what's yours is mine, not just your soul techniques, your memories, but also..."

The True Spirit from Gu Jinlai instantly spread, rapidly reaching this spirit body whose mind was somewhat muddled. "You yourself!"

As the True Spirit spread, the "concepts" belonging to Gu Jinlai quickly replaced the "concepts" of the Aries Star Lord and rapidly took control of this spirit body.

The Aries Star Lord collided with the True Spirit of the past and Gu Jinlai for a moment. In a daze, everything about him emerged from his spirituality, all of which were scenes bestowed by the Gu Jinlai.

Those images contained all his memories, as if they had truly existed.

And right now...

He then gradually took back everything that had originally been given to him.

His spirit body, which had lost many "concepts," actually "believed" and actively cooperated with his actions, allowing him to take it back and control it.

"That's impossible! No one can know a person's entire life from a single moment of memory contact!"

Aries is the planet of spiritual vibration.

Then, he thought of a legend.

Everything has a spirit.

Aside from time and space, matter, energy, and mind are all born in the spirit world and die in the spirit world.

The spirit world is both the cause and the effect of spacetime.

When someone can perceive all the mysteries contained in the changes of the spirit world with a higher-dimensional perspective, he will be omniscient and omnipotent.

Supreme!

Supreme!

"No living being can reach this level."

The Aries ruler's mind was impacted like never before.

While his mind was being shaken and he could only stabilize himself with words, the True Spirit of the Gu Jinlai rippled outwards, forming walls of nothingness that sealed off the "concepts" belonging to the Aries Star Lord.

Gu Jinlai, no one has ever known an omniscient and omnipotent being who understands all the mysteries of the spirit world.

What he is doing at this moment is to use the Burning Heart Fire Secret Technique to burn away the concept of the Aries Star Lord, and then replace these burned blank concepts with his own concepts, thereby completely erasing the Aries Star Lord from this world, or rather, from this only remaining spiritual body of his.

When the concept of the Lord of Aries ceases to exist, even the Creator who has transformed into a spirit will disappear forever.

The Aries ruler has become aware of practices that Gu Jinlai.

Just as he previously wanted to erase the concept of "Gu Jinlai" and cover it with his own concept.

However, the balance of power between the two has now been reversed.

"Return to the Spirit Realm!"

Aries is associated with decisive action.

He directly abandoned the part of his spirit body that had been projected into the Demon Realm, and followed the channel through which the spirit body had been projected, crossing the rift in the Demon Realm, heading straight for the other half of his body that was projecting his power outside the Demon Realm rift.

"It's meaningless."

The True Spirit of the Gu Jinlai rapidly infiltrated and controlled the part of the spirit body that the Aries Star Lord had projected into the Demon Realm. Then, they controlled this spirit body, which did not appear to be completely real, to project in reverse towards the body located outside the Demon Realm.

"Integrate into me, become a part of me, and I will drive your body, in the name of the Gu Jinlai, to walk the earth."

"Boom!"

A streak of light pierced the sky!

Thousands of miles away from the Demon Realm Rift, five streams of light, harnessing the power of divine weapons, shot toward the Demon Realm at incredible speed.

It was the five peerless immortals—Duanmu Chengyun, Suxin, Dongxuanzi, Zhang Yingzhen, and Zhao Piaomiao—who descended upon Jiaoyang City through the Zhou Tian Juxing Array and rushed towards this battlefield.

Apart from Si Wuyai, whose injuries had not fully recovered, the Holy Dynasty mobilized all its top experts this time.

"What on earth is that?! A phantom spanning a thousand meters?! A tremor that emanates from the very soul?! What kind of Demonic Spirit could be so enormous?!"

The five peerless immortals exchanged ideas as they traveled.

"If it really is a Demonic Spirit... spanning a thousand meters... that definitely surpasses the realm of a Spirit Venerable! The size of Demonic Spirit is often equal to its strength, while even the most powerful Spirit Venerable will not exceed three hundred meters in size!"

Su Xin's expression was solemn.

"Is it Devil Master from the heavens? But... how is that possible!? How could such a terrifying being descend from the Demon Realm!?"

A hint of fear flickered in Zhang Yingzhen's eyes.

"It can't be the Devil Master! If a Devil Master were to descend to earth, the Immortal Kingdom would have been conquered long ago!"

Duanmu Chengyun said heavily, "Perhaps they are some special demon gods, like the Heavenly Dragon of the Creator Era, which often reached hundreds or thousands of meters in length."

Tianlong.

Although this is a powerful monster comparable to a Void Immortal, and some top Heavenly Dragons can even fight against the strongest Void Immortals, it is still easier to deal with than a Spirit Venerable who is a thousand meters long.

"We have our trump cards, and the Demonic Beasts might have theirs too! Perhaps that thousand-meter-long phantom is the Demonic Beasts' final killing move, which they have laid around our Holy Dynasty! We must be extremely careful."

Su Xin Dao.

These words resonated deeply with the other four peerless immortals, who nodded in agreement.

As an unparalleled immortal Gu Jinlai, it is entirely reasonable for Demonic Beasts to resort to their trump cards in order to kill him.

Just then, Duanmu Chengyun seemed to sense something and suddenly looked towards the horizon.

Before long, dozens of enormous figures swept through the hurricane and tore through the clouds at the edge of their vision.

The two leading figures...

"Star-Scarred Demon God! Dragon-Soaring Demon God!"

Zhang Yingzhen shouted in a low voice, "The Demonic Beasts have arrived too!"

Duanmu Chengyun quickly examined a jade talisman on his body, and said with a surprised expression, "These demon gods... seem to have arrived in a hurry as well..."

"Um!?"

Su Xin immediately realized something. "You mean, these demon gods and that terrifying being who has been hunting down Gu Jinlai are not one and the same?"

"According to reports from those spies lurking in the Demonic Beasts kingdom, the Demonic Beasts only followed us after we set off. In other words, they only became aware of the danger they have faced Gu Jinlai because of us, so they mobilized all their forces to see if there was an opportunity."

Duanmu rode the cloud.

"If it's not Demonic Beasts, then the only ones chasing after Gu Jinlai... could be experts from the Immortal Kingdom! But isn't Gu Jinlai's relationship with the Immortal Kingdom quite harmonious? Why..."

Dong Xuanzi was somewhat surprised.

"Unfounded speculation is meaningless. The Demon Realm Rift is just ahead. If we speed up and take a look, we will naturally find out who is the one who has attacked us Gu Jinlai."

As Duanmu Chengyun spoke, the speed at which he controlled the divine weapon suddenly increased.

The other few illusory immortals followed closely behind.

Not only them, but even the Star Mark Demon God and the Dragon Sky Demon God showed no intention of engaging in a battle with the five peerless Void Immortals first.

Both sides did their utmost and traveled at full speed.

After a dozen or so breaths, the divine weapon that Duanmu Chengyun had transformed into suddenly cleaved through a thick layer of clouds, and a vast view immediately appeared before them.

"The rift to the Demon Realm is right before my eyes. Let me see what kind of existence could make a True Immortal who has remained in this world retreat in such a way, and even leave behind arrangements that seem like a will..."

Before Duanmu Chengyun could finish speaking, the scene that appeared before him made him shudder and his eyes widen.

An unprecedented terror spread wildly through his eyes at an incredible speed.

"Sect Leader Duanmu."

Zhang Yingzhen followed closely behind. "Just what kind of expert forced Gu Jinlai..."

His reaction was almost exactly the same as Duanmu Chengyun's; he was struck dumb, and suddenly froze on the spot.

An indescribable sense of dread quickly filled his entire being.

Next came Zhao Piaomiao, Dong Xuanzi, Su Xin...

As well as...

The Star-Scarred Demon God and the Dragon-Sky Demon God arrived in haste.

Gazing at the towering phantom outside the Demon Realm, which seemed to have poured most of its power into it, feeling the energy tides it stirred and the spread of those tides, all who witnessed it felt a tremor and fear that went straight to their hearts...

Whether they were immortals or demons, at this moment, they all stood frozen in place, a chilling sense of terror sweeping over every corner of their bodies.

"Creator... Creator!"
