Destroying the Dao Lord
A passageway between the Mysterious Immortal Realm and the Realm of Longevity.
At this moment, the stargate, which had previously only emitted a faint light, suddenly became dazzling.
This change was immediately noticed by the True Immortals guarding the area.
"Something has happened at the Star Gate! Quickly inform the Western Heaven Immortal Lord and the Imperial Heaven Immortal Lord to be on alert!"
The immortal quickly relayed the message.
Before long, hundreds of sword lights pierced through the sea of clouds and roared in.
The leader was none other than the Western Heavenly Jade Immortal Master.
Although she is called the Celestial Lord, she is actually just a celestial being.
However, thanks to the fact that her cave had long been moved to the vicinity of the interdimensional passage, she was able to continuously replenish herself from the cave, maintaining her strongest form, and no one dared to underestimate her power.
"Is it finally coming?"
The Western Heavenly Jade Immortal Master's expression was solemn.
She thought of the task Zhao Xi had given her.
If the Xuanling Dao Master of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect appears, then find a suitable opportunity to let them pass. As for the others...
Intercept as many as you can.
Upon realizing this, the celestial being immediately ordered, "Be on guard! If anyone Non-Self celestial kingdom appears through the Star Gate, launch a full-scale attack!"
"Yes."
The dozen or so True Immortals and hundreds of Void Immortals beside Immortal Master Lingyu responded with a shout.
The hundreds of Void Immortals had already formed a sword formation, their Sword Qi crisscrossing and their murderous intent overflowing. Even ordinary True Immortals would be torn to shreds in an instant if they were caught in it.
As the starlight shimmered and twinkled to its fullest extent, finally, a figure emerged from within.
It was none other than the Heavenly Immortal of Taibai.
Upon arrival, the celestial being immediately took out a golden bell and struck it with the power of his mind.
"Clang!"
A series of soul-stirring bell tolls, reaching a speed beyond the speed of sound, instantly captivating everyone's attention and causing them to freeze in shock.
The next moment, one after another, true immortals appeared.
Sword light and Divine Ability erupted from their hands at the same time, instantly sweeping towards the sword formation composed of hundreds of people led by the Spirit Jade Immortal Master.
Lingyu Tianxian had obviously also practiced the "Eighteen Heavens" Refining Spirit Technique taught by Zhao Xi. She reacted in just a moment. With a flick of her hand, a great Yuan Magnetic Divine Light ruthlessly pointed at Taibai Tianxian.
At the same time, his mental energy surged. "Wake up! Counterattack!"
Under the call of her spiritual power, one after another, the true immortals of the celestial kingdoms awoke.
Seeing the onslaught of True Immortals emerging from the Star Gate, they followed suit, unleashing dozens of sword lights like dragons, crisscrossing and roaring, shattering all the sword lights and Divine Ability in the hands of the True Immortals of the Myriad Star Sword Sect.
"Charge out!"
With a low roar, the Heavenly Immortal Taibai's body swelled in the wind, transforming into a towering giant of 290 meters.
He had just manifested his strongest True Immortal form when he was struck by the Great Yuan Magnetic Divine Light of the Celestial Jade Immortal. He immediately summoned the bell-like Dao artifact to block it, but in just a moment, the bell was pierced and shattered.
The power of the primordial magnetic divine light followed closely behind, blasting through his immortal body and shattering half of it.
Just as Lingyu Tianxian was about to make another move, she felt her thoughts become chaotic, and even her consciousness seemed to slow down a bit.
In the dim light, one could almost see a figure following closely behind the Celestial Immortal Taibai and this group of True Immortals as they entered the Realm of Immortality.
And this power that interferes with thinking and obscures spirituality...
"Master of the Mysterious Spirit Dao!"
Lingyu Celestial Immortal received meticulous guidance from Immortal Master Zhao Xi, and cultivated the Eighteen Heavens Cultivation Method, which is specifically designed to temper the mind, to the fifth level. Otherwise, she would not have been entrusted with the important task of guarding the passage between the two realms.
Relying on her willpower from the fifth level of cultivation, she forcibly regained consciousness from the shock brought about by the Xuanling Dao Master activating the Transformation Heavenly Dao, and at this moment...
The Xuanling Dao Master has vanished without a trace.
The Celestial Immortal Tai Bai directly attacked her, unleashing countless Sword Qi before her. Her equally massive Celestial Immortal body collapsed under the onslaught of these Sword Qi.
However, the being that has condensed the immortal body has completely transformed itself into energy, so it is not an exaggeration to say that its gathering and dispersal are entirely at its own discretion.
Although the Sword Qi of the Heavenly Immortal caused her immortal body to collapse, as she retreated rapidly, her shattered immortal body began to recombine.
At the same time, in a grotto-heaven six thousand miles long within this spatial passage, countless spiritual energies and powers were drawn out and poured into her body, causing her reconstituted body, which was only a hundred meters or so long, to rapidly expand and quickly condense into a giant over three hundred and sixty meters tall.
Relying on the energy carried within her enormous immortal body, an even stronger primordial magnetic divine light shot out from her body. Even though the Tai Bai Immortal frantically dodged, she still could not escape the consequence of her immortal body being shattered inch by inch.
However, the Myriad Stars Sword Sect has staked all its resources on this battle. Not only does the Profound Spirit Dao Master have enough spirit crystals to activate the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Immortal Tai Bai also has a lot of spirit crystals. While the Jade Heavenly Immortal is unable to quickly shatter his immortal body, he also uses spirit crystals to quickly condense the shattered immortal body.
In addition, the number of True Immortals who came with Tai Bai Tianxian was much greater than that of the Immortal Kingdom. With their occasional reinforcements, Ling Yu Tianxian was unable to kill Tai Bai Tianxian, whose combat strength was only equivalent to that of a peerless True Immortal.
"It's not a question of whether I can let Xuanling Dao Master leave or not, but... I simply can't stop him."
Lingyu Celestial Immortal was somewhat helpless, so he could only send a message to Zhao Xi while focusing his attention on Taibai Celestial Immortal, who had brought more than thirty True Immortals with him.
"Boom!"
Lightning flashed.
The figure from Gu Jinlai landed directly outside Zhao Xi's cave.
"The Xuanling Dao Master has broken through the Lingyu Immortal Master's blockade and is heading towards our location at full speed."
Zhao Xidao.
"That's natural."
Gu Jinlai nodded. "The Xuanling Dao Master has separated himself from the Heavenly Dao, which allows him to maintain his full strength. His only flaw is that he cannot sustain it for long. However, when he came, he must have been carrying the spiritual crystals accumulated by the Wanxing Sword Sect over the years. During the time when the spiritual crystals are exhausted, he can still maintain the power of a Dao Master. Although Lingyu Tianxian is revered as the Lingyu Immortal Master of the Western Heaven, his actual combat strength, with the backing of the Cave Heaven, is only comparable to that of a top-tier Heavenly Immortal. Therefore, he cannot stop him."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Xi and said, "Let's fight!"
"I will do my best to prevent him from controlling the power of the cave..."
Zhao Xi spoke.
But before he could finish speaking, he clearly felt that the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao, which he had personally nurtured, seemed to have come "alive" and was rapidly taking control of this cave heaven that stretched for thousands of miles.
A continuous stream of energy began to condense frantically, seemingly projecting itself towards a place tens of thousands of miles away, using this amplification and strengthening method to welcome its arrival.
"So fast."
Zhao Xi's expression changed slightly.
"The Xuanling Dao Master is now in your hands!"
He took a single step and entered the cave that stretched for thousands of miles. His mind and will merged with the Dao Fruit that had been integrated into the cave, and with the help of the power of the entire immortal kingdom, he suppressed the "alive" Transcendent Heavenly Dao.
Throughout Gu Jinlai...
His body soared into the air, traveling five thousand miles against the wind.
Five thousand miles away in the void from that super cave heaven, he "saw" the Xuanling Dao Master, whose body was like flowing light.
"Master of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect, Xuanling Daoist."
Gu Jinlai.
His body began to grow rapidly, and upon meeting, he immediately revealed his strongest form.
"Jiang Yufeng?"
The Xuanling Dao Master looked at the figure blocking his way. "Or rather... Gu Jinlai?"
"Boom!"
What awaited him was a thunderous sword, formed from the Gu Jinlai and space.
The Thunder Sword, amplified by the lightning field, shot out at an extreme speed.
At the same time, the Great Sun Core within his body was operating, continuously pouring energy into his immortal body, and once again condensing the Divine Light of Departing Fire in his hand.
The divine light of the laser cannon, seemingly hundreds of meters in diameter, pierced through the void, followed by a thunderous sword that shot towards the Xuanling Dao Master.
"Still limited to using Divine Ability powers to kill enemies like a true immortal? You have no idea what the Heavenly Dao is!"
A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Xuanling Dao Master.
In the void, a surge of azure light seemed to boil, like a long river, sweeping away his figure.
That is...
Transformation of the Heavenly Dao.
As the azure river swept up the Xuanling Dao Master and enveloped him, the attacks of the Divine Light of Blazing Fire and the Thunder Sword also landed in this river-like azure radiance.
Brilliant light and thunder shone simultaneously.
As the Great Sun Core continued to operate Gu Jinlai to enhance the output of the Divine Light of Fire, that azure radiance directly transformed into a sea of fire.
However, this situation lasted for less than a breath Gu Jinlai keenly sensed something.
The next moment, his True Spirit surged.
My vision went directly into the "real spirit world".
From the perspective of the true spirit world, what he is attacking is not a blue stream of light, nor the Xuanling Dao Master himself, but simply nothingness.
He was attacking the sky haphazardly.
"My spirituality and cognition have been disturbed! I thought I was attacking the Xuanling Dao Master, but in reality, the moment the Xuanling Dao Master unleashed the Transformation Heavenly Dao, my spiritual cognition was already distorted..."
His pupils contracted slightly, as if from Gu Jinlai.
This is the wonder of the Heavenly Dao of Transformation!
Fortunately, Zhao Xi had described the characteristics of the Transformation Heavenly Dao to him more than once during this period, and in addition, he had condensed his True Spirit and was very sensitive to the "illusion and reality".
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't realize for a long time that they were doing something useless.
"Although the Heavenly Dao of Transformation does not make the Dao Lord's attacks invincible like the Heavenly Dao of Metal, nor does it suppress all directions like the Heavenly Dao of Earth, making it difficult for enemies to act rashly, this method of interfering with spirituality and transforming thinking and cognition is no less strange and dangerous than the Heavenly Dao of Metal and Heavenly Dao."
Thoughts have evolved Gu Jinlai.
He maintained this state of peering into the true spirit world, his electromagnetic power erupting and his gravity pulling him in.
Using his Star Child characteristics to counteract the constraints imposed on him by the stars, his massive body, like a space carrier soaring across the sky, roared as it broke through the air currents and chased after the Xuanling Dao Master.
After sensing his presence through the real spirit world, he clasped his hands together, and endless high-temperature energy condensed in his hands.
The pillar of light formed by the divine light of the Fiery Blaze traversed hundreds of miles and shot directly behind the Xuanling Dao Master.
"How did you react so quickly? It seems that you are more likely to be from Gu Jinlai than Jiang Yufeng! Jiang Yufeng is only fifty or sixty years old. No matter how high his mental cultivation is, how high can it be? But you seem to have cultivated the path of spiritual life transformation from Gu Jinlai, and you have also condensed the spiritual seeds that you call True Spirit. You can deeply perceive the spirit world. It is through this perception that you can quickly break through the power of the Heavenly Dao of Spirit Transformation."
As the Xuanling Dao Master spoke, azure light once again manifested from his body, quickly spreading and covering an area of over a hundred miles.
"But it didn't work."
As he transformed into a cloud of azure light, he seemed to directly disturb the ripples of the spirit world in the perceptions of the true spirit world Gu Jinlai, with waves of ripples spreading out from him.
Its range was remarkably similar to that azure radiance with a diameter of a hundred miles.
This range is not vast compared to the spirit world, but it is so vast that it has been impossible to pinpoint his location accurately Gu Jinlai.
Without being able to locate the true form of the Xuanling Dao Master, there was naturally no way to begin.
"Nowhere to start?"
Gu Jinlai stared at the azure light that stretched for hundreds of miles and was moving forward at a much slower pace than before. "How is this possible?"
He suddenly took a deep breath.
Countless hydrogen and helium surged in, and the Great Sun Core within the body began to operate at full speed. The violent energy continuously condensed around the Great Sun Core in the form of light, and was then bound by the power of the Chaotic Astral Body, making it difficult to break free.
Once the energy within him reached a certain level, he suddenly made his move.
Thunder roared!
It was as if a cannonball had been launched by the power of lightning and magnetism, shooting straight towards the area that was shrouded in azure light for hundreds of miles around.
Although this cannonball, which was enveloped in the power of lightning and magnetic energy and was entirely formed from dazzling light, was not large in size, the energy contained within it was so great that even a True Immortal could clearly sense it.
The next moment, a dazzling light shone.
It was as if a great sun had been lit up between heaven and earth.
The explosion was equivalent to at least a hydrogen bomb with a yield of tens of millions of tons. The energy released in that instant filled the area within a radius of tens of miles. Intense light, high temperature, and flames swept across the hundreds of miles of blue light, almost swallowing up all the light.
But...
Ultimately, it was a hundred miles of azure light.
The explosion of a hydrogen bomb with a yield of tens of millions of tons obviously could not completely destroy this blue radiance, which could be considered a condensation of energy.
But...
Gu Jinlai, it has been clearly felt that the azure light was noticeably thinner after this round of attacks. Although it quickly recovered, it was obviously replenished by the Xuanling Dao Master hiding within it using spirit crystals.
That kind of attack was still effective.
The effect was just not very significant.
"As long as it works."
It has never been picky, either Gu Jinlai.
The compressed sphere of light from the core of the Great Sun, operating at full speed, reappeared beside him.
Only...
Unlike last time, there is more than one this time.
Instead, there were a full ten.
Each sphere of light contained intense and violent energy, and under the projection of electromagnetic force, it was like a series of cannonballs, continuing to bombard the azure light cluster that was the incarnation of the Xuanling Dao Master.
"Simultaneously unleashing ten attacks, each more powerful than a great Divine Ability!?"
Hundreds of miles away, the Xuanling Dao Master, who was under the influence of the Zhuanling Heavenly Dao, frowned.
However, he showed no panic. The azure light transformed from the Heavenly Dao of Transformation directly illuminated an area of three to four hundred miles. Although the interference with the real spirit world was weakened and the speed was even further reduced, the increase in size itself meant that the intensity of the attacks that could be withstood was increased.
"Scatter? That won't do."
Gu Jinlai as easy as grasping a hand.
"Boom!"
The heavens and earth trembled!
It was as if some incomparably enormous and majestic being was moving its body, causing the entire world of the Immortal Realm to tremble and rumble!
This is the power of the Child of the Stars.
Gu Jinlai, by integrating the characteristics of the Star Child into the Realm of Immortality and then using the gravitational pull of the stars, the azure radiance that had exploded after the Xuanling Dao Master, covering an area of three to four hundred miles, was forcibly condensed and compressed to only fifty or sixty miles.
At the same time, the ten nuclear shells, imbued with abundant energy and enveloped in the power of lightning and magnetism, followed closely behind and bombarded the enemy.
"Not good!"
The Xuanling Dao Master, located within the Transcendent Heavenly Dao, changed his expression and immediately unleashed his power to its fullest extent.
The Heavenly Dao of Transformation was like a giant dragon, surging wildly and expanding to a radius of a hundred miles. It charged and crashed, seemingly trying to break free of its restraints and avoid the bombardment of those nuclear shells.
"Behave yourself!"
Seeing this, the core of the Great Sun within Gu Jinlai's body shone brightly. With a swift movement of his hand, an even stronger gravitational pull from the stars squeezed in from all directions, compressing the coverage area of the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao to a radius of over eighty miles. The Xuanling Dao Master, located within it, could only watch helplessly as the ten nuclear bombs exploded outside the azure cloud formed by the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao.
The blazing, violent energy violently impacted the azure light cloud constructed by the Heavenly Dao of Transformation. Some of its power was even torn apart by this energy impact, and terrifying high temperatures swept into his body through the gaps, continuously burning his immortal body into charred black.
Damn it!
The Xuanling Dao Master quickly took out three spirit crystals.
His charred immortal body quickly recovered, and the shattered Heavenly Dao of Transformation was restored to its original state. The azure light continued to shine, enveloping his figure.
Even though the powerful binding force could not restrict his movements, he still rushed towards the super immortal kingdom four thousand miles away at nearly three times the speed of sound.
"The power of that kind of Divine Ability surpasses that of ordinary great Divine Ability. It is enough to break through a cave heaven head-on in a hundred times. However, the greater the power of the Divine Ability, the greater the consumption."
The Xuanling Dao Master spoke with absolute certainty.
He looked at the twenty-seven spirit crystals that remained in his arms.
There is such a huge amount of supplies...
That's enough to sustain us until we reach the ultimate celestial realm!
The next moment, another round of ten nuclear shells blasted over.
Even though the brilliant and dazzling light was obscured by the layer of azure light clouds, it was still as if ten suns had been lit up at the same time. The intense and dazzling destructive power still deeply shocked even the Xuanling Dao Master.
In particular, the fact that these Divine Ability tore through the Heavenly Dao of Transformation, carrying endless flames to burn his body and turn his immortal body into ashes like being roasted, made his eyes burn even more intensely.
"This kind of Divine Ability... The reason why this Divine Ability power has such power is because the environment of this world is uniquely favorable. Everyone who comprehends and creates supernatural Divine Ability does not consider the cost-effectiveness at all, but only thinks about maximizing the power of the Divine Ability power. If our Myriad Star Sword Sect can occupy the Longevity Realm, we will definitely surpass our predecessors and be able to create supernatural Divine Ability with even greater attack power than these!"
In an instant, he took out three more spirit crystals and quickly completed the Heavenly Dao.
"As expected of the Dao Lord."
Looking at the Xuanling Dao Master, who was bound by the gravity of the stars but could still move at a speed of several miles per breath, Gu Jinlai sighed sincerely.
After reaching the first level of the Great Sun Eternal Law, his attacks were enhanced, exceeding the level of a great Divine Ability. If great Divine Ability were also divided into ordinary, high-level, and top-level, the power of the Divine Ability power in his hands would undoubtedly have reached the level of a high-level great Divine Ability.
Such power would annihilate even a true immortal.
However, even a ten-hit combo was not enough to kill the Xuanling Dao Master.
From this perspective, he is indeed now at the level of a Dao Lord.
At least until the Xuanling Dao Master's power is exhausted, the battle between the two sides is unlikely to be decided.
So...
"Then let's just keep at it! With the Great Sun Core evolving within my body, I'm practically a Dao Lord with my own personal cave heaven. How can the Xuanling Dao Lord, who relies on spirit crystals for replenishment, possibly match my endurance? Even if he carries hundreds of spirit crystals, he can only withstand a hundred rounds of my attacks."
Gu Jinlai, the gravitational pull of stars has been amplified to bind the Xuanling Dao Master, and at the same time, the nuclear bombs in his hands, equivalent to tens of millions of tons, have been released more frequently.
Under wave after wave of bombardment, the area within a hundred miles centered on the Xuanling Dao Master was illuminated by terrifying high temperatures and raging flames. Any living being, even a demon king-level bird, that dared to approach that battlefield within a hundred miles would be burned to ashes by the released heat. Even if they were hundreds of miles away, they would be at risk of being roasted on the spot, cooked to perfection, and then sprinkled with cumin and eaten directly.
Just as this continuous bombardment, which had been ongoing for Gu Jinlai, had only lasted for about ten rounds, the azure light before them suddenly vanished.
Immediately afterwards, the Xuanling Dao Master transformed into a stream of light and shot towards the direction of the Immortal Kingdom's Super Grotto-Heaven at top speed.
Look at him...
His breath had actually dropped significantly.
There was a look of fear in his eyes.
"They couldn't withstand even ten rounds of attacks?"
Although Gu Jinlai was surprised, his hands moved quickly.
With a flick of the wrist.
A huge vortex seemed to appear around the Xuanling Dao Master, binding his body and making it difficult for him to move.
"Open it for me!"
The Xuanling Dao Master let out a low roar, but instead of activating the Transformation Heavenly Dao, he directly manifested his true form, transforming into a towering giant over six hundred meters tall.
A terrifying power emanated from him, instantly breaking free from the gravitational pull of stars Gu Jinlai.
But then...
He was greeted by a pillar of blazing fire from the Divine Light of Fire.
"Gu Jinlai!"
With a fierce roar, the Xuanling Dao Master unleashed his Sword Qi, which surged into the sky. Dozens of sword lights, like a raging dragon of Sword Qi energy, swept towards the Divine Light of Li Huo.
But...
Others' Divine Light of Departure Fire shoots out a beam of light, lasting at most one or two breaths, but the Divine Light of Departure Fire Gu Jinlai...
An endless stream.
He could even find the time to condense another nuclear bomb.
This scene immediately made the Xuanling Dao Master's face turn extremely ugly.
A deep blue light shone from him once more.
That is the power of the Transcendent Heavenly Dao.
He tried his best to summon the power of the Heavenly Dao of Transformation within the Immortal Kingdom's Super Grotto-Heaven, hoping it would draw upon the power of that grotto-heaven to empower him.
However, Zhao Xi seemed to realize that the battle Gu Jinlai and the Xuanling Dao Master was at its most critical moment. He suppressed the Zhuanling Heavenly Dao and used his own Dao Fruit to control the cave heaven, unwilling to let any energy in the cave heaven leak out.
Unable to draw upon the energy within the grotto-heaven for replenishment or amplification, fear finally appeared in the eyes of the Xuanling Dao Master.
"Gu Jinlai, why have you always insisted on opposing our Myriad Stars Sword Sect? We can give you anything you want..."
"Once I take over your Myriad Stars Sword Sect, everything in the Myriad Stars Sword Sect will naturally belong to me."
This Gu Jinlai.
"You... you actually plot against our Myriad Stars Sword Sect!?"
The Xuanling Dao Master's pupils contracted sharply.
"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Your Myriad Stars Sword Sect plots against our Longevity Realm, and we plot against the Myriad Stars Sword Sect. What is wrong with that?"
Gu Jinlai, looking at the Xuanling Dao Master who seemed to be unable to activate the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao again, he shook his head. "After leaving the cave heaven, the Dao Master can only maintain such a peak state for such a short time. The sustainability is too poor. This kind of strength is disappointing."
The next moment, he took a deep breath.
Its height began to rise rapidly, soaring from 490 meters to 660 meters.
The original hundred-meter diameter Divine Light of Fire surged to two hundred meters, and its even more violent energy output ruthlessly crushed the increasingly exhausted Sword Qi energy of the Xuanling Dao Master, piercing through his body with undiminished momentum.
"It's over."
