Chapter 330: Chapter 327 Siege
"Play?"
As Kunwu listened to Gu Jinlai’s words, a sense of ominous premonition began to loom in his heart.
However, it was Wu Tiandi who leaped up, suspended in the void by harnessing the power of Heaven and Earth. His Divine Thought surged like a steel needle, fiercely piercing into the brain of the Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast.
Instantly, the T-Rex, whose combat power matched that of a Demon King Level Beast Taming, let out a painful roar.
Without any hesitation, he then transmitted an instruction.
"Kill him!"
"Roar!"
In the midst of a deafening roar, the enormous beast, standing more than twenty meters tall and over thirty meters long, charged forward. Its massive weight caused each of its footsteps to strike the ground with thunderous claps, and ripples erupted across a nearby lake as if a minor earthquake had occurred.
As the Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast charged towards Gu Jinlai, Wu Tiandi also lifted his hands. Within a few hundred meters, the Primordial Energy surged wildly, the temperature climbed rapidly, and finally, a massive fireball of flames took shape.
This was a Divine Skill derived from the Divine Beast Bifang—Bifang True Fire.
Wu Tiandi’s Divine Skill was the Formless Great Method, a trait of which was that as long as he knew the principle of any other Divine Skill, he could mimic any of them.
Even though the power would be slightly inferior to that of the genuine Divine Skills, the fireball formed by the Bifang True Fire held within it a terrifying force that surpassed Kunwu’s Sky Slash.
Regrettably, before the Divine Skills of the two Heavenly Beings could fully take effect, Gu Jinlai, having activated all the engines of the Cheng Ying Mecha, slightly bent his knees, and then...
Forward!
Took a big step forward!
It appeared as though he was initiating a charge at the Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast.
But, when the distance between man and beast was only a bit over a thousand meters, the explosive force at Gu Jinlai’s feet erupted. Eight thrusters simultaneously emitted dazzling blue light, and then...
Under the astonished gazes of the ten Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, including Kunwu and Wu Tiandi, he...
Flew up!
Sky-high!
And the speed of his burst was incredibly fast!
To the degree that even for Primordial Spirit True Monarchs skilled at high-speed sword control, he was in no way inferior.
Some slower Monarchs could only see white ripples of air blasting through the void...
Those were traces left behind by the Cheng Ying Mecha breaking the sound barrier.
"Fly!? He can fly! Like us, the Heavenly Beings, he can fly!?"
All were shocked and discolored.
"That Armor-like War Spiritual Artifact isn’t just for defense, it possesses other abilities too!"
"He has aerial combat capabilities as well!? This is bad!"
No one had the calmness they had before.
Even Wu Tiandi and Kunwu were not exceptions.
However, they soon realized that not only could Gu Jinlai fly, but his speed...
Was incredibly fast!
Even the Heavenly Beings’ own flight speed paled in comparison!
"This is bad!"
Wu Tiandi couldn’t care less about powering up the flame orb in his hands to its utmost potential, and instead he immediately pushed it downwards.
The fireball, blazing and carrying a roaring heat wave, struck towards Gu Jinlai.
Though the fireball was not slow, it seemed to invoke the sealing power of the surrounding void, causing any creature within hundreds to thousands of meters of the fireball to feel as though they were being squeezed and thrust towards it.
This was the Power of the Heavenly Beings!
However...
Gu Jinlai never had any intention of dodging the fireball.
In the moment when his body was about to collide with the fireball, the Cheng Ying Sword in his hand suddenly thrusted forward.
The energy from the Eternal Furnace coupled with the transmission characteristic burst forth as the sword was drawn, and instantly...
A blinding brilliance so intense that it was unbearable to look directly at exploded in the void.
Even the Monarchs found their "horizon" entirely engulfed by this piercing white light, causing them to lose their sight.
"Ah! My eyes! My eyes!"
Some of the Monarchs couldn’t help but scream in agony.
Their eyes were scorched by the intense heat contained within the bright light.
Fortunately, as Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, "sight" was never their sole means of probing the world; rather, they mainly relied on Divine Thought.
However, precisely because it was Divine Thought, they could "see" clearly just how terrifying the energy that Gu Jinlai’s sword unleashed upon colliding with the fireball was.
At that instant, temperatures of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions, to tens of millions of degrees surged, obliterating the fireball into dust with a sweeping current of destruction that exploded outwards.
In face of such energy release, no creature within the central core area could withstand it.
Not even a Saint’s Holy Body was an exception.
Even the shockwave formed by the energy dispersement still rapidly swept over the many Monarchs just a few miles from Gu Jinlai.
That temperature, that force, made the Monarchs cry out in terror.
"What!? What is this!? What kind of power is this!?"
"The Great Sun! The Great Sun! I see a Great Sun crashing down to Earth! I see a Great Sun Burning Sky, Boiling Sea! I see a Great Sun burning all things!"
"Is this Gu Jinlai’s trump card?! This is the true power of Gu Jinlai’s trump card!"
The fireball exploded.
But after the explosion of the fireball, Kunwu, who came immediately after, showed no sign of worry. Instead, he was overjoyed.
"Good! Good! This is too good! He has played his trump card, and such cards can’t be used a second time in a short period. Next, the battlefield will be dominated by us two Devas! Kill!"
With a long howl, Kunwu chased after Gu Jinlai at full speed, and at the same time, the power of the Divine Skill Sky Slash condensed in his hands.
While this Divine Skill was known for its long range and sudden appearances, the difference in lethal power between releasing it from several miles away and at close range was stark.
If a Sky Slash from miles away required hitting the Cheng Ying Mecha four or five times before it could shatter, then now, at close range, two or three hits would suffice.
Once Gu Jinlai lost the Armor forged from Immortal Essence Gold and had used up that trump card capable of leading them to mutual destruction,
he would be nothing but dried bones in a tomb!
"Boom!"
Gu Jinlai, wearing the Cheng Ying Mecha, blasted through the explosion of light and flame with a sword, crushing the fireball.
Bathed in glory and fierce flames, in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wu Tiandi. His Cheng Ying Sword did not pause for a second as he struck down once again.
But...
Wu Tiandi was not Kunwu!
As a Deva and the junior brother of Emperor Tianji, he had managed to survive since the defeat of Emperor Tianji by being cautious.
Even though it seemed to outsiders that Gu Jinlai had played a trump card capable of dragging them down together, Wu Tiandi still dared not underestimate him. He had already begun to pull away from Gu Jinlai, who was rushing at him shrouded in light and flames.
Retreat!
He swiftly retreated at an explosive speed!
Devas wield the power of Heaven and Earth, almost equivalent to their domain.
With the amplification of their Domain, Devas, who normally could only fly at supersonic speeds, can explode forth with three to four times that speed in instantaneous movement.
Even though their range was only a few hundred meters to a kilometer, some individuals with special Secret Techniques could seamlessly connect these distances perfectly.
As a Peak Heavenly Being, Wu Tiandi was obviously one of the best among them. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
"Qiankun Six Harmonies!"
As he swiftly retreated with a special movement technique, he clasped his hands together.
With this Secret Technique, the power of Heaven and Earth was crazily compressed and condensed, as if turning into a massive wall.
A wall made of air.
Though Gu Jinlai, with his extreme speed, soon shattered wall after wall, ripples formed around his body visible to the naked eye, but his speed dropped from six times the speed of sound to four.
A mere decrease to less than one-third of his speed gave Wu Tiandi a chance to react.
As Gu Jinlai’s sword came slashing down, Wu Tiandi’s hands spun violently.
"Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Wheel!"
It seemed as if the world was turning upside down at that moment.
No!
It was not upside down!
It was the Deva distorting the gravitational field of Heaven and Earth, disturbing the sense of direction and perception of space around them.
In this state, Gu Jinlai’s sword, firmly locked on Wu Tiandi, missed and struck empty space!
"Buzzing!"
A dazzling, brilliant light once again burst forth dozens of meters away from Wu Tiandi.
Even though the sword did not hit Wu Tiandi, the energy released from the Eternal Furnace was still devastating to a Deva.
The splendid light instantly obscured heaven and earth, blinding all who were watching the battlefield.
"Not good!"
Wu Tiandi’s face changed dramatically.
In the face of this terrifying energy that could break even a Holy Body, he immediately produced a life-saving Supreme Treasure, and a shadow of a Demon God seemed to emerge above him.
This was a life-saving item bestowed by Emperor Tianji a hundred years ago, reputed to block a strike from a Saint.
But before the shadow of the Demon God could fully manifest, it was ground into dust by the dazzling, intense white light.
The terrifying heat, illumination, and impact further bombarded Wu Tiandi’s body.
At once, Daos on his Dao Artifact Level Battle Armor emerged, desperately countering the brilliant light and intense heat, but even so, his exposed arms and feet still burnt away nearly to ashes from the heat.
However, the continuous activation of the life-saving treasure and the Dao Artifact eventually helped Wu Tiandi get through the most perilous moment.
Just before the flames and heat approached his body, his feet glowed, and with a step, he seemed to cross space, appearing several miles away.
After appearing several miles away, Wu Tiandi did not dare to pause, his movement technique bursting to the limit as he rapidly fled.
At the same time, his Divine Thought once again penetrated the mind of the Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast, relentlessly issuing orders!
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Under such urging, the Zombie Tyrannosaurus Beast roared and spat out a blood-red mist like a beam of light, traversing the void, scattering the terrifying impact from the energy explosion, and striking Gu Jinlai’s body.
At the same time, Kunwu was hot on the pursuit, unleashing the Sky Slash that he had been nurturing for a long time, with violent energy pressure bombarding Gu Jinlai’s figure.
"Die!"
With a fierce shout, the power of Demon Kings and Devas Level simultaneously descended, covering his figure completely.
