CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 733: TRANSFORMATION

"Damn it!"

The Ruins Sky Master, almost immobile under the suppression of a brilliant starlight, stared fiercely at Gu Jinlai.

Then, he turned his gaze towards the Demon Lord Black Flame, Sovereign Hong Ying, and other Demon Spirits, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.

Wasn’t it said that this Human Clan’s power was at most that of a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal?

This is called a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal!?

Demon Lord Black Flame and Sovereign Hong Ying felt somewhat wronged.

They couldn’t understand why Gu Jinlai suddenly became so powerful.

Clearly, they had transformed into a Holy Spirit form, wielding the Power of All Beings, leaping an entire realm beyond their previous state, but...

But who could have imagined that this human named Gu Jinlai would leap even further than them.

At least two realms!

"How could such a world have such an existence... A Great Dao Golden Immortal, even among the Heart of the Cosmic, would be a central figure..."

The Ruins Sky Master, despite his reluctance, had to face reality.

The earlier fallen Purple Light Immortal could be excused.

One could argue he had just transformed into a Holy Spirit, unfamiliar with the power of the Holy Spirit, possessing it but unable to wield it effectively, thus being defeated by Gu Jinlai.

But now...

They all experienced it firsthand.

Suppressed by Gu Jinlai with a Spiritual Force at least comparable to that of a Fourth-Rank Golden Immortal, they could hardly move, no matter how incredulous they were, the facts were laid before them.

This self-proclaimed battle-hardened Ruins Sky Master’s will fluctuated, breaking through a sliver of the starlight suppressing him: "Gu Jinlai? I admit, you have garnered our respect, yet, Holy Spirits are undying and undestructible. Your suppression demands a great deal of your Spiritual Force, how long can you sustain such suppression?"

He stared at Gu Jinlai: "Your strength is recognized by us, I assure you, henceforth, there shall be no more conflict between the Demon Realm and the Longevity World..."

"Your assurances are worthless."

Gu Jinlai waved dismissively.

"I know there was a prior agreement of peaceful coexistence between us, but... the prerequisite of an agreement is parity in strength."

The Ruins Sky Master said: "We, having acquired the Holy Spirit legacy, experienced a leap in strength, naturally developed second thoughts; if you had beforehand demonstrated the Spiritual Force at the Great Dao Golden Immortal level, making us aware of your might, this conflict would never have occurred. Now that we are at an impasse, why not take a step back and return to the conditions when the peace agreement was signed a few years ago?"

Gu Jinlai was surprised as he looked at this Ruins Sky Demon Lord who had come up with such words.

However, he simply ignored him.

He only needed to patiently wait for Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi to forge the Star Destroyer Mecha that could amplify his attack power.

Then, destroy the Demon Realm...

Wait, perhaps the Demon Realm need not be utterly obliterated.

After all, the "Star Core" of the Demon Realm is essentially the corpse of an Immortal Golden Immortal, whose value cannot be measured by any Treasure.

If taken and sold, acquiring a hundred and eighty Immortal Artifacts wouldn’t be a problem.

What they truly needed to do was erase the Demon Spirit’s refining of that Immortal Golden Immortal, to strip the Demon Spirit’s cycle of life and death from the Immortal Golden Immortal’s corpse.

The remaining Immortal Golden Immortal corpse...

Might even be used as an Immortal Artifact, placed on the Blue Star, forming the foundation to catalyze the revival of spiritual energy on Blue Star.

Gu Jinlai had a plan in mind.

But this "self-important" attitude seemed to provoke the Ruins Sky Master: "Gu Jinlai, do you truly believe we can’t handle you? Don’t forget, I am from the Freedom Church, a Holy Spirit of the Freedom Church, and as a Holy Spirit, we are never individuals!"

"Freedom Church? Do the gods behind you dare to show themselves?"

Gu Jinlai looked at the Ruins Sky Master: "Is it because you think I don’t know how to go to the Heart of the Cosmic and inform those Immortal Golden Immortals of your god’s whereabouts? Or is it that you’ve long despised your own god, wishing him dead sooner?"

"Nonsense! My faith in my lord cannot be shaken by anyone!"

The Ruins Sky Master’s expression changed slightly.

But then he thought of something, sneering, "Moreover, you overestimate yourself, dealing with you doesn’t require the great Sovereign to personally descend. Merely a Subordinate God can completely wipe out the creatures of your world."

"So, the Subordinate Gods of the Freedom Church are your thugs, obediently running at your command as you, a Holy Spirit, wish?"

Gu Jinlai chuckled lightly.

This statement clearly pointed out his hollow threats, making the emotional turbulence in the Ruins Sky Master’s demeanor very evident, extremely embarrassed.

In the end, he had to growl, "We have already expressed our willingness to coexist peacefully with you, what more do you want?"

"Oh, feeling wronged now?"

Gu Jinlai looked at this Ruins Sky Demon Lord, who replaced Demon Lord Cangming to plan the campaign against the Longevity World, wondering if he was naturally like this, or if his mental state had been interfered with post-Holy Spirit Transformation.

Calmly, he replied, "I still prefer your initially arrogant demeanor, please continue to hold your head high with pride, persist, and do not make any concessions, lest I look down on you."

"Gu Jinlai, do you truly believe we can’t deal with you in any way? Yes, I may not command my lord’s Subordinate God, but a brand new world... No, several interconnected worlds are worthy enough for them to lead a Holy Spirit Army to descend here. Do you want your world to be destroyed?!"

The Ruins Sky Master roared in anger.

"Destruction? You think with that Evil God glaring intently, the destruction of the Longevity World would still need the intervention of your Freedom Church’s subordinate god?"

Gu Jinlai looked at this Ruins Sky Master with eyes as if looking at a "fool".

Evil God...

The Ruins Sky Master was born in the Demon Realm, naturally aware of the terrifying entity hidden within the Longevity World.

This time their attack on the Longevity World was partly to avenge past humiliations, making those creators who viewed the Demon Realm as a hunting ground pay the price.

On the other hand, it was to "assimilate" all living things in the Longevity World, contributing to the growth of the Freedom Church.

"I previously traveled through the spatial rift in your Demon Realm to the Xuanhuang Realm and have already made contact with it. We will offer all the spiritual energy within our world to the Xuanhuang Realm to obtain the eligibility to move our key personnel there for refuge. Soon, we will completely withdraw. Do you think a mere subordinate god of the Freedom Church dares to target the Xuanhuang Realm?"

Gu Jinlai said, his tone slightly pausing: "Or do the gods behind you dare to attack the Xuanhuang Realm?"

"Xuanhuang Realm!?"

The Ruins Sky Master, having contact with neighboring worlds, naturally knew of this world.

He also understood the fearsome power of this world.

It was the dojo where the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns once resided, containing hundreds of Great Dao Golden Immortals.

Not to mention a subordinate god of the Freedom Church, even if the Freedom God himself came, he would leave in defeat.

Once entangled by the Xuanhuang Realm, requesting reinforcements from the New Fire Star Sea, it might...

For a moment, the Ruins Sky Master felt a deep sense of helplessness.

The other party was a group of desperate fugitives hanging by a thread, like fiercely diagnosed cancer patients in the terminal stage, if they could crush them with devastating force that would be fine, but now...

They were the ones being crushed...

For a moment, this leader of the Demon Realm could only say, "What do you want? We are willing to apologize for our offense toward the Longevity World, also, afterward, we will ensure the disconnection of our world’s link to the Longevity World, you will not have to worry about us betraying you in the future."

Gu Jinlai said nothing, simply suppressing them with the Starlight Rotation Technique, making them unable to move.

This scene made the Ruins Sky Master somewhat furious and more than a little uneasy: "Our worlds have been in conflict for nearly ten thousand years, right now if you let us leave, this war that has lasted nearly ten millennia can completely end by your hand, your achievement would be unparalleled through the ages, what more do you want?"

"Indeed, the war between the Longevity World and the Demon Realm has lasted nearly ten thousand years, it should end."

Gu Jinlai said, looking at the Ruins Sky Master: "But not in the way you mentioned, with the Demon Realm disconnecting from the Longevity World and leaving peacefully as an end."

"You want to completely obliterate us? Impossible! The Holy Spirit is undying and indestructible, you can’t kill us!"

The Ruins Sky Master said.

Gu Jinlai did not answer.

The so-called undying and indestructible is only relative.

A True Immortal detaches from the flesh constraints, existing forever in an energy form, yet their divine sense is still eroded by the power of time.

An Immortal Golden Immortal is immortal yet, facing the Daoist Ancestor’s purging, may still vanish without a trace.

The supposed undying nature of a Holy Spirit...

Is simply due to their equivalent collective will, being supported by billions of followers and creatures, allowing them to die over and over.

Gu Jinlai only needs to kill them billions of times, destroying the individual to crush the collective, and they will still perish.

Moreover, he possesses the Void Projection Technique.

Though this skill tends toward evil god secret techniques, its effects are remarkably apparent when used.

As long as he is willing to spend a bit of time, unafraid of the pain of splitting his divine sense into billions, exterminating the dozens of Holy Spirits before him is only a matter of time.

However...

Doing so would be too lenient.

For now, Gu Jinlai waited quietly.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm.

Due to the most powerful Demon Lords and Dominators being entirely transformed into Holy Spirits by the Ruined Sky Demon Lord, the remaining Spirit Venerables were simply no match for Zhao Xi.

The Spirit Transformation Heavenly Dao’s weakening and restraint on these Demon Spirits made it so the Spirit Venerables caught in the Heavenly Dao could be easily vanquished by the Heavenly Monarchs.

Let alone the weaker Catastrophic-level Demon Spirits, large Demon Spirits, and medium Demon Spirits.

An endless stream of exterminated Demon Spirits was refined by countless Heavenly Monarchs and Heavenly Masters into the purest spiritual nature, and with the prepared materials for Co-spirit, the upgraded version of the Star Destroyer Mecha was visibly cast to completion.

Only nine days!

Remodeled and newly built, the Star Destroyer Mecha over two thousand one hundred meters in height was completed and upgraded.

In its chest, an ultra-large third generation nuclear reactor over three hundred meters in diameter operated slightly, with blazing and splendid glory emanating from it, seemingly installing a Sun within its chest.

Terrorizing energy waves and the oppressive feel from its massive size rushed forth.

Even Zhao Xi, Wang Xuanjing, and other Profound Immortals were deeply shaken by this terrifying war weapon crafted by wisdom and power.

"Finally, finished."

Gu Jinlai listened to Zhang Lihuo’s report, responded calmly, and then gave an order: "Have everyone exit the Demon Realm."
