CHAPTER 915: CHAPTER 734: DESTRUCTION OF THE DEMON REALM

As Gu Jinlai gave the order, all Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Monarchs evacuated one after another.

Even Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi were no exception.

Only Zhao Xi and Wang Xuanjing, the two Profound Immortals, remained.

Even the two Daoist Masters he brought, who were nurturing Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao, were positioned outside the Demon Abyss to prevent any Demon Spirits from rushing out at that time.

Once everyone was scattered, Gu Jinlai manifested the Starlight World and took those Holy Spirits through the Demon Abyss back to the Demon Realm.

"Need any help?"

Wang Xuanjing asked.

Gu Jinlai just glanced at him and shook his head.

Although these Holy Spirits had been shattered by him several times, their collective will-life system was quite unreasonable.

It appeared they were defeated and destroyed, yet in reality, it was just the dissolution of the formed individuals back into the collective.

Soon, they could regroup their strength again.

It’s like punching the air, dispersing it temporarily, but moments later, the air would once again fill the space.

Under such circumstances, the true loss for the Holy Spirits was only the Holy Spirit Armor.

They could still exhibit a nearly peak level of divine will.

Though their divine will couldn’t reach the levels of Evil God Power, which could instantly reduce a lifeform’s entire Divine Sense Ability, divine will, and soul into basic spiritual particles, it still posed a significant threat to sentient beings.

Not to mention, the Ruins Sky Master was a Level 9 Holy Spirit, and with the power advantage, solely relying on divine will would be beyond what beings with a Spiritual Realm lower than Great Dao Golden Immortal Level could withstand.

Upon asking this question, Wang Xuanjing also seemed to have understood this point, showing a wry smile: "Holy Spirit’s system is really unreasonable."

Zhao Xi nodded in deep agreement: "Divine Sense Ability itself doesn’t have much destructive power; even with Divine Sense Secret Technique, a Profound Immortal with Divine Sense Ability reaching the Seven Layered Heavens cannot simply rely on Divine Sense Ability to heavily damage even a Heavenly Immortal whose Divine Sense Ability is merely Fourth Layer Heaven. At most, they can unleash stronger attacks and achieve faster reactions using Divine Sense Ability, which is merely a supplement to their personal power system. But divine will..."

Although a Level 9 Holy Spirit couldn’t simply defeat a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal with divine will alone, it could hold an advantage in Divine Sense and willpower confrontations.

Some Level 9 Holy Spirits who mastered powerful secret techniques could even heavily damage Profound Immortals like Wang Xuanjing and Zhao Xi, whose Divine Sense Ability was only at the seventh heaven.

Moreover, Holy Spirits had their own armor.

Although the battle power unleashed by the Holy Spirit Armor couldn’t match the body of a Profound Immortal, relying on the advantage in targeting Divine Sense, these gaps could be entirely compensated.

From this comparison, Level 9 Holy Spirits and Nine Heavens Profound Immortals belong to the same tier.

But Holy Spirits are undying.

A defeat for a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal means instant death.

Yet for a Holy Spirit, it’s merely the loss of one Holy Spirit Armor.

The battle damage ratio isn’t on the same level.

This is why the Xuanhuang Realm vigorously develops the Mechanic System.

On one hand, the turmoil of the cosmic Heart of the Cosmic suppressed immortals above the True Immortal Realm greatly.

On the other hand, Mechanics primarily rely on Divine Sense Ability to remotely control Mecha. Even if unfortunately defeated, the Mecha is destroyed, Divine Sense Ability severely damaged, they can still recover after a period.

Though recovery requires time and is less efficient compared to the instantaneous revival of Holy Spirits’ collective will, yet...

Mecha is cheap.

The manufacturing cost of Mecha is far less than Holy Spirit Armor.

Additionally, Level 9 Mechanics’ usage of Divine Sense Ability far surpasses Profound Immortals in the Spiritual Realm Nine Layer Heaven; against the divine will of Level 9 Holy Spirits... protecting themselves from interference is not an issue.

Under these circumstances, a one-for-one exchange between Level 9 Mechanics and Level 9 Holy Spirits is not disadvantageous.

Furthermore, the conditions for the birth of Holy Spirits are harsher compared to Mechanics, and they are fewer in number than Mechanics.

This is also why the Immortal System in the Heart of the Cosmic can suppress the Divine Spirit System.

"Looks like we need to shift to new practices and go down the Mechanic route."

Zhao Xi said.

"There’s no need for that. The Mechanic route has obvious flaws, overly reliant on External Force, with insufficient clarity in understanding of the Dao. It’s fine before the Profound Immortal Realm, if they have abundant resources coupled with proficiency in Cultivation of Divine Sense Ability, they can still catch up quickly. But at the Great Dao Golden Immortal Realm, it requires Heavenly Dao Unity, a stage that makes most Mechanics shy away."

Gu Jinlai said.

Mechanics and Immortal Dao are like Demon God Warriors and cultivators.

The former seems to advance extremely fast with astonishing battle power yet has huge flaws. On the contrary, for the latter, if they have talent, even if they lag temporarily, progressing step by step, they will eventually stand out.

Of course, compared to Demon God Warriors who at most reach Human Immortal as a limit, Mechanics can transition into the Great Dao Golden Immortal System, albeit with extreme difficulty.

"The biggest flaw of the Immortal System actually is their disregard for the Spiritual Realm; before achieving True Immortal Realm, cultivation of the Divine Sense isn’t prioritized. The growth of Divine Sense Ability is entirely driven by the Transformation within the realm, only upon becoming a True Immortal do they discuss the Nine Heavens and Six Dao. But this is forced by the need to break through realms, not many regard it as mainstream for in-depth research, leading to disadvantages against beings leaning towards Divine Sense and willpower such as Divine Spirits and Evil Gods."

Gu Jinlai said: "Next, you should focus on enhancing the Spiritual Realm while nurturing each Heavenly Dao, and enhance the application of Divine Sense Ability. If the Spiritual Realm surpasses personal cultivation, it will be easier to break through realms, and less passive against the divine will of Holy Spirits."
