Chapter 329: Chapter 326 Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast
"Whoosh!"
The supremely sharp and violent energy seemed to condense into a supreme divine weapon in Kunwu’s raised hands, shooting down ferociously.
Sky Slash.
One of the divine skills derived from the Palace Guardian Divine Beast, the Chongming Bird.
It was an attack method like an edged blade, formed through high-frequency vibrations and absolute control over the power of Heaven and Earth, then compressed into a lethal form.
Such an attack was invisible and unstoppable, able to break through anything.
Just a few hits were needed, even the Immortal Essence Gold—a main material as strong as the Saint Body—could be cut through.
But...
The air surged.
The void shrieked.
However, just before the Sky Slash that tore through the void was about to hit, Gu Jinlai’s body exploded with power from under his feet, his figure shifting horizontally by several meters with the Earth trembling beneath him.
Almost simultaneously, the force of Sky Slash that tore through the void sliced into the Earth near him, with a thunderous roar, the soil flew and opened up a huge trench tens of meters long and deep.
"Impressive power, but empty talk if you can’t hit your target," Gu Jinlai sneered, "The advantage of the Sky Slash is its long attack range and invisibility, fitting for distant ambushes. But after all, I am a master who has fully comprehended the Mental Realm. With my Co-spirit, this suit of Immortal Essence Gold Battle Armor weighing tens of thousands of jin is as light as nothing to me. As long as I’m careful not to be hit by you in the same spot several times, you won’t be able to break through my War Armor. Instead, the question is, how many times can you continuously release your divine skill Sky Slash?"
Kunwu didn’t speak, but simply continued to raise his hands high.
As a Heavenly Being, he kept stirring the power of Heaven and Earth, causing the void to tremble within a few hundred meters, and the resulting fluctuations spread thousands of meters away.
In just a few breaths, a new round of divine skill formed.
Just as Kunwu was about to unleash his divine skill, the Primordial Spirit True Monarch dressed in white burst with brilliance in his eyes: "Unsheathe your swords!"
The next moment, ten swords struck simultaneously.
The Primordial Spirit True Monarchs carried the overwhelming Sword Qi, the sharp Sword Gang bombarding down as both sides’ attacks almost reached at the same time.
Gu Jinlai’s eyes narrowed: "Is Wu Tiandi still not making a move?"
As his thoughts turned, he charged forward, taking big strides, with the "new Chengying Sword" flashing from its sheath behind him.
He virtually ignored the concentrated attack of the ten Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, simply spinning and throwing the Cheng Ying Sword in his hand like a thunder, the thrown sword broke the sound barrier in a flash, shooting a kilometer away, targeting one of the ten Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
While throwing the War Sword, also named Cheng Ying Sword, with the Ten Directions Annihilation technique, his figure also flickered rapidly.
"Whoosh!"
The void trembled.
Kunwu’s divine Sky Slash arrived with incredible speed, and even though Gu Jinlai dodged instantly, the power vibrating within still grazed his Cheng Ying Mecha, the violent force causing his body to lose balance uncontrollably.
As his figure was brushed by the divine skill, there was also a dazzling column of light that seemed to illuminate everyone’s perception, striking the flying sword of one of the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
As the column of light struck the flying sword, inflicting heavy damage on the Primordial Spirit wielding it, eight of the remaining nine Primordial Spirit True Monarchs had their flying swords bombard his body.
Instantly, Gu Jinlai’s figure was engulfed by the violent Gang Qi and Sword Qi.
The scattered sword light spread wildly, slicing the ground and plowing the surface of an area several hundred meters in radius.
Whether it was the surrounding mounds, rocks, or the flowers, grass, and trees growing in the area, they all turned to debris, not a blade of grass survived.
"Got him!"
This scene prompted one of the Monarchs to let out a cry of surprise.
But before the joy on his face could last a second, the Cheng Ying Sword carrying fearsome strength had already slashed fiercely upon one of the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
This Primordial Spirit True Monarch...
Was precisely the one whom Gu Jinlai had severely injured with the Eternal Heavenly Curse.
In such a state, even though the Primordial Spirit True Monarch was a kilometer away from him, he was still unable to barely muster some defense, and after being hit by the Cheng Ying Sword, he spat blood and was sent flying backward.
"Zhang Mu!?"
"His body is clad in Supreme Battle Armor, which blocked most of the sword’s power, saving his life..."
"Retreat, keep a four-li distance."
This scene caused the faces of the other nine Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to change.
Meanwhile, Gu Jinlai, bombarded by the flying swords of the eight Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, charged out from the dust, leaped, and the Cheng Ying Sword that had been flung at a Primordial Spirit True Monarch spun back into his hand.
With the War Sword once again in his grasp and observing only a few sword marks on his Cheng Ying Mecha, the faces of the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs turned exceedingly ugly.
Even though the power of Gu Jinlai’s thrown War Sword decreased significantly after covering a kilometer, potentially unable to injure them, if combined with the Eternal Heavenly Curse...
A kilometer distance was no longer safe.
And if they kept a distance of over a kilometer, Gu Jinlai’s reaction time would be significantly increased. Despite having nine Monarchs, their threat to Gu Jinlai would be greatly reduced.
Not to mention that just with the Soul Secret Technique, the Eternal Heavenly Curse could harm their Primordial Spirits...
"Is this all?"
Gu Jinlai sneered, "A Heavenly Being and ten Monarchs, is this your performance? Earth Immortal Palace, Human Immortal Hall, you really disappoint me. My Mystic Bird Fighting Machine is on its way here. When it arrives, none of you will escape."
Having said that, he turned around and ran wildly towards the direction of Tianhe.
Kunwu and the nine Primordial Spirit True Monarchs followed closely, constantly bombarding him with flying swords and divine skills.
However, this pursuit had gone on for a short while, and no matter if it was Kunwu or the other nine Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, their hearts were sinking continuously.
The defensive power of the Immortal Essence Gold-made battle armor was too astounding, and together with Gu Jinlai who had grasped the Mental Realm and had a strong physique of a Heavenly Monarch, their attacks could hardly pose any substantial threat to him.
If they chose to launch an attack at close range...
The Eternal Heavenly Curse and the thrown new Chengying Sword were both enormous threats.
Not to mention Gu Jinlai’s terrifying trump card that could see a Deva drag an opponent down with him.
"No wonder Gu Jinlai had the courage to openly challenge Di Luo, he truly possesses the qualifications to be arrogant. At least, relying on one of us Devas, even if we add ten Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, would only be sending ourselves to death against him. Even if his most intimidating means has limited applicability, only usable once every few months, but... which Deva, would dare to use their life to consume his trump card?"
Kunwu couldn’t help but say earnestly.
Gu Jinlai, indeed, had such capital.
"With Gaia persuaded by the Hall Master Wu Tiandi to take up the position of the second Vice Hall Master of the True Immortal Hall, the biggest obstacle we face in uniting the forces of the Demon Path is just Ying Wuqing and this newly risen Gu Jinlai. Especially Gu Jinlai, although he rose to power not long ago, he has subdued three major sects including the Purgatory Sect, Cold Moon Sect, and Netherworld Sect. These sects may not have many powerful masters, but their occupation of the lands south of Tianhe, and their long-established operations, could very well serve as the largest logistical base for our Demon Path forces..."
The white-robed Primordial Spirit True Monarch followed up with a statement.
He was the adopted son of Wu Tiandi of the Human Immortal Hall, named Wu Rendi!
Before Wu Tiandi found Venerable Xuan Tian, Wu Rendi was the designated next Sword Master of the Sky Extreme Sword and was provided with the best resources for cultivation.
And he did not disappoint, being not yet fifty years old this year and already cultivated to the realm of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. He was also a top Monarch, possessing powerful swordsmanship and a Quasi-Dao Artifact.
Among the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs probing Gu Jinlai at the moment, he was the one leading.
"It seems unrealistic for us to eliminate Gu Jinlai without paying any price."
"Then let’s move to the second plan," Kunwu said.
"I’ll send a message to my adoptive father right away."
Wu Rendi responded, his tone carrying a hint of regret: "Ah, our Human Immortal Hall’s Palace Guardian Divine Beast... to be sacrificed for Gu Jinlai’s trump card..."
"That Divine Beast is rather special, it might not die directly... and besides, Diablo has promised that once Gu Jinlai dies, that trump card will belong to our Human Immortal Hall. Even if the Palace Guardian Divine Beast truly perishes, it will be worth it," Kunwu said, his eyes gleaming with confidence, "That trump card can unleash a Killing Move so fierce it can even break through a Saint’s body."
Wu Rendi nodded deeply.
As his message was sent out, soon, the land shook violently ahead.
It seemed as if some colossal creature was approaching at an incredible speed.
Gu Jinlai briefly sensed his surroundings and quickly realized something: "Demon King!?"
But then he looked back over his shoulder: "That’s not right, different from the Demon King, its spirit and life structure are..."
Almost at the same time as he looked towards the horizon, an enormous T-Rex-like creature, which looked at least twenty meters tall and resembled a prehistoric behemoth, charged towards them roaring.
This massive T-Rex was unlike the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus that had not yet reached its full growth, as it was covered in bone armor different from steel, with a multitude of sharp bone spikes emerging from its body, emitting a ferocious and ghastly white presence.
Furthermore, its spirituality was chaotic, as though it was a concoction of several, or even more than a dozen, life forms...
This was...
"Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast!"
Gu Jinlai’s expression turned grave.
This was the product of a failed evolution of a T-Rex into a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.
Yet, this product did not signify weakness.
On the contrary, if evolved using special methods, the combat power of a Zombie Tyrannosaurus could be stronger than that of a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.
Just like this one in front of them, which was clearly cultivated in such a path, its aura was so strong that it was comparable to that of a Demon King.
Moreover, this type of creature could recover itself by frantically consuming flesh and blood...
Their recovery and sustained combat capabilities were stronger than those of Demon Kings who had achieved an Undying Demon Body.
However, that was not the point.
The point was...
On top of this Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast’s head stood a person.
Someone unremarkable, yet one that nobody dared ignore.
"Wu Tiandi!"
Gu Jinlai’s eyes narrowed: "The Human Immortal Palace, actually going to great lengths to cultivate such a Beast Taming that has clearly evolved the wrong way, is utterly insane."
"This Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast is enough to force you to use your trump card," said Wu Tiandi, the master of the Human Immortal Hall, looking down from atop the ghastly giant beast, "Without that trump card... how will you stand against our two Heavenly Beings."
He stretched out his hand and raised two fingers, "Now, I give you two choices. One, hand over your trump card to us and submit to our True Immortal Palace. Considering you’re a Heavenly Monarch, we can grant you a certain status to allow you to be of use. The second option..."
"There’s no need."
Gu Jinlai stopped fleeing and flexed his muscles slightly: "It’s about time to end this little game we’ve been playing. Although one of the three Devas who made a move on this trip, Hai Xiao, has not shown up yet... but... you Wu Tiandi are here, that’s enough."
His spirit permeated every corner of the Cheng Ying Mecha.
The Eternal Furnace inside his body began to operate, transmitting energy to every corner of the Cheng Ying Mecha through its transmission characteristic, with engines starting one after another and lights flickering.
He slowly opened his arms: "Now, one Peak Deva, one Top Deva, and one Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast, all of you strike with your full power, using your strongest Divine Skills to attack me. Let’s see just how strong I really am!"
