Suppressing

"Lin Yuan!?"

Seeing Lin Yuan bound and unable to move by the vortex formed by lightning, Jin Haoran's expression changed. "Not good!"

At this moment, he disregarded his dignity as a True Immortal residing in the world, and he didn't care whether fighting two against one was considered bullying the weak. He stepped forward and took a step forward.

As he entered the battle, a radiant light, like glass, flashed across his body. He was no longer in flesh and blood, and his body swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter giant.

An aura far surpassing his usual demeanor emanated from him.

The energy contained within his hundreds-meter-tall body was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami rising into the air, then being drawn by his own evolutionary path into a golden Dao sword, which condensed in his hand.

The chilling Sword Qi and the surging sword intent soared straight into the sky, instantly tearing a gap in the wind and clouds that had been drawn together Gu Jinlai, allowing the sunlight above the clouds to shine down and illuminate the world.

Such dazzling brilliance could make anyone's eyes widen.

This scene was as if the heavens and earth had been completely cleaved apart by the sword light.

In particular, the breathtaking scene of golden light soaring into the sky and tearing through thousands of meters of thick clouds to create a gap of tens of thousands of meters was a shock to the minds of the Sanqing Palace, the Great Qian Royal Family, and other powerful figures, including the Lingxiao Palace.

"A true immortal! A true immortal! This is a mortal immortal!"

"A true immortal's body! The energy contained within a thirty-meter-tall saintly body far exceeds that of Celestial Person being, thus gaining an overwhelming advantage when facing Celestial Person! A true immortal's body is over a hundred meters tall! Moreover, the true immortal's body has transformed into an energy form, completely free from the stiffness and obstruction of a flesh and blood body, allowing for more effortless energy circulation, and the power it can unleash is astonishing! Unimaginable! Absolutely unimaginable!"

"The Ancient Palace Master was actually able to restrain the Abyss Lord!? Even the Heavenly Emperor a hundred years ago was helpless against the Abyss Lord's astonishing speed! Yet the Ancient Palace Master can actually make the Abyss Lord unable to move!? Has the Abyss Lord's strength weakened, or... is the Ancient Palace Master even more powerful than the Heavenly Emperor a hundred years ago!?"

True Person Wuzhong, Master True Person, Tai'a, Qin Yujing, Jiang Yinlong, and others were shocked and speechless, staring in horror at the great battle that had erupted in the sky.

Liu Yuxi, from the Immortal Kingdom, was equally astonished.

She was not only amazed by the power displayed by her dao companion Lin Yuan, but also trembled at the true immortal body that Jin Haoran manifested when he made his move.

"He actually... manifested the body of a true immortal directly!?"

It's important to understand that once you reach the True Immortal realm and your body is completely transformed into energy, while possessing immense power, your energy consumption also increases exponentially.

Therefore, True Immortals will only manifest their True Immortal forms when they encounter an opponent of equal strength, or when they are engaged in a life-or-death struggle that threatens their lives.

The body of a true immortal is equivalent to the strongest burst state.

While this state possesses astonishing combat power, it is simply unsustainable.

Even if they ultimately win, the energy consumed will take a true immortal a very long time to recover.

This is very detrimental to their daily cultivation.

Therefore, the next step for a true immortal is to create a grotto-heaven, merging their own Dao with that of the grotto-heaven.

When a True Immortal and a Grotto-Heaven merge into one and become the Lord of the Grotto-Heaven, with a Grotto-Heaven as a source of continuous replenishment, they can unleash the full power of their True Immortal bodies, fighting and battling without any worries.

The master of the grotto-heaven is called the Immortal Master here.

The Wanxing Sword Sect refers to them as Celestial Immortals, meaning True Immortals of the Cave Heaven.

Even with the forces Gu Jinlai divided to bind Lin Yuan, Jin Haoran still immediately revealed his strongest form as a True Immortal and unleashed his most powerful divine Divine Ability, Heavenly Sword Descending to Earth...

This clearly treats the Gu Jinlai world as a mortal immortal of the same realm as him.

"Cut!"

The celestial sword hovered in the air, then crashed down with a deafening roar.

Wherever the sword flashes, it can cleave rivers and sever seas.

However, the sea here is a storm sea formed by thunderclouds.

With a single sword strike, the wind and thunder that had swept Gu Jinlai seemed to be cleaved in two. Its fierce and mighty power was even greater than that of the Xuan Yang Demon God back then.

But...

If this had happened during the time when Gu Jinlai was fighting Xuan Yang Demon God, this sword strike might have actually had a chance to defeat Gu Jinlai.

However, after the lessons learned from that battle, coupled with the duel with the Creator Aries Star Palace, all aspects of his strength have increased slightly Gu Jinlai. In the words of Duanmu Chengyun and others, his combat power has reached the high level, or even the top level, even among True Immortals.

Faced with Jin Haoran's sword strike, his figure also began to rise.

The power of the Chaotic Astral Body was fully unleashed, causing countless bolts of lightning to flow around him. The lightning power emanating from his body alone was enough to obliterate any being that had not yet condensed into a saint's body.

In other words, beings who do not possess the body of a saint cannot even get within a hundred meters of him.

Carrying this violent power of thunder, he suddenly raised his hand, and countless bolts of lightning intertwined within the previously torn clouds, forming a huge network that stitched the torn areas back together.

As the clouds were being patched up, a huge halo with a diameter of over a thousand meters appeared below the thunderclouds. Thunder roared around the halo, emanating a suffocating pressure.

The golden giant sword, which was originally about to cleave rivers and seas, was swept up by this huge halo of lightning and was directly drawn into it. The Sword Qi carried on the sword was shattered by the lightning blasted out by the halo.

This scene filled Liu Yuxi with shock. "This kind of Divine Ability..."

This method, passed down through the Gu Jinlai, is outstanding among the thirty-six true immortals of the Immortal Kingdom, and has already transcended the level of ordinary true immortals.

"What a joke! I, Jin Haoran, am a True Immortal of the Immortal Kingdom!"

At that moment, Jin Haoran's entire body burst into golden light, as if he were transformed into a golden deity. He poured a continuous stream of Gengjin energy into the golden giant sword, causing the sword to tremble and threatening to completely tear apart the entire thunder halo.

"The God of War wields the Heavenly Sword! The Heavenly Sword cleaves the Abyss! Break!"

With a long roar, a towering phantom, three or four hundred meters high, seemed to be projected onto his immortal body. The phantom pierced through the air, grasped the golden giant sword, and then stepped forward, fiercely slashing at the lightning halo with a diameter of over a thousand meters.

One sword, two swords, four swords, eight swords...

"Slash! Slash! Slash!"

The violent energy bombardment caused lightning to scatter across the kilometer-diameter halo, with countless bolts collapsing wildly. The sky within a radius of tens or even hundreds of miles also trembled violently, with countless lightning bolts dancing wildly.

"Amazing! Amazing! Incredibly amazing!"

Above the heavens, the battle between the gods and the thunder shook the hearts of Wuzhong True Person, Wunian True Person, Taiyuan, Qin Yujing, and others.

"This is the power of a true immortal! This is the power of a mortal immortal!? If this power were to descend, even we saints would be instantly annihilated, without any chance of resistance!"

"Gu Jinlai... to actually fight to this extent against a mortal immortal... how... how is this possible!?"

"Even if the Heavenly Emperor of yesteryear were to be resurrected, he would be no more than this."

One by one, the top experts gazed at the scene of destruction in the void, regarding it as a battle between immortals.

Faced with this power, everyone realized without prior agreement that the Qian Heaven Realm had already changed.

The stalemate of checks and balances between the major powers will be broken.

Just like a hundred years ago, an era in which the five continental immortals rule and dominate everything is about to arrive.

"Good job, you've worked very hard."

Looking at Jin Haoran, who was wildly swinging his sword, Gu Jinlai's eyes were filled with admiration. "To show my respect for your fighting spirit, I will use all my strength next."

He opened his arms.

He reached out with one hand to grab the thunderous halo that was trapping Lin Yuan, pulling Lin Yuan's body toward the large ring.

With his other hand outstretched, the chaotic astral body within his body was operating at its limit. Under the power of the rotating magnetic field, all the lightning that had been dancing wildly within a radius of hundreds of miles converged from all directions and poured into the lightning halo with a diameter of over a thousand meters.

This scene...

This immediately changed the expression of Jin Haoran, who was unleashing the full power of his True Immortal body.

"Talent!? Dao Fruit!? Control of lightning!?"

Previously, neither Gu Jinlai had used a power similar to the Dao Fruit!

"Boom!"

With the infusion of all the lightning within a radius of hundreds of miles, the lightning halo, which was originally only a kilometer in diameter and had even dimmed under Jin Haoran's continuous strikes, suddenly gained power with some gaps appearing.

Even more violent lightning burst forth from the halo of thunder, illuminating the world in a bright light.

Under this intense light, the lightning halo, which was a kilometer in diameter, expanded to three thousand meters, engulfing Jin Haoran completely.

Before Jin Haoran could continue to shatter the lightning halo with his sword, Gu Jinlai's outstretched hands gradually closed and began to stir up and down.

Correspondingly, two halos of lightning, one large and one small, approached it and began to rotate rapidly in the Zhengyi Sect directions.

The Wheel of Celestial Person!

This is the most powerful Divine Ability Gu Jinlai derived from the characteristics of the children of stars and the rotational properties of magnetic fields within the chaotic astral body.

However, compared to when he dealt with the Xuan Yang Demon God and several peerless Void Immortals such as Dong Xuanzi and Si Wuyai, this great Divine Ability has been improved from the beginner level to the master level by him with the help of the power of Qing Guang, which is equivalent to countless years of hard work and cultivation.

Under these circumstances, when the Celestial Person is unleashed again, its power is more than twice as strong as before!

The three-thousand-meter-long Thunder Aura is the best example.

As it spun rapidly, the two halos of lightning unleashed a torrent of electricity...

Although the attack was mainly focused on Jin Haoran, it still left Lin Yuan, who was not good at direct combat but whose strengths lay in speed and perception, looking horrified.

"Oh no! Retreat quickly!"

Lin Yuan roared, his scales contracting wildly, transforming himself into something resembling...

A shuttle-shaped object.

Transformed into this artifact, he sped through the air as if trying to break free from the shadow of thunder.

However, the two enormous lightning halos were rotating rapidly in opposite directions, forming a terrifying force field. How could Lin Yuan possibly break through while trying to avoid the lightning strikes?

As for Jin Haoran, he has been the primary target of attacks Gu Jinlai, and nine-tenths of the lightning strikes were directed at him.

The golden war god phantom he manifested, hundreds of meters tall, collapsed in an instant, followed by the golden giant sword he condensed... and then, his true immortal body!

As the lightning struck his immortal body, causing his enormous, glass-like form to gradually crumble, fear finally appeared in Jin Haoran's eyes.

"Palace Master... we..."

"Don't be so quick to admit defeat. I told you, the three of you can come at me together. There's still one person who hasn't made a move yet, isn't there?"

All eyes, from Gu Jinlai, fell upon Liu Yuxi: "Come, let me see if your strength is worthy of your pride."
