Chapter 481: Chapter 477: Flatten
"Are you going to run now?"
Gu Jinlai glanced around.
The Giant Ape Demon Emperor, in order to exhaust his strength, continuously summoned Devils to besiege him, and along the way, hundreds of thousands of Devils had already died by his hands.
So...
It was about time.
Gu Jinlai’s figure soared through the air, like a bolt of lightning breaking the sky, and he suddenly rushed towards the Six-headed Demon Emperor and Rhinoceros Commander, the speed he burst forth with far surpassed that of both Demon Emperors.
Meanwhile, the Eternal Furnace kept operating, an intense and furious energy constantly emerged, which combined with the transmission characteristic and Thunder Light Domain, was projected forward.
Even...
It concentrated fusion energy in a way similar to a plasma beam, forming an attack akin to Atomic Breath.
Of course, since Gu Jinlai’s Chaotic Star Light Body was not yet at Cultivation Perfection, and he only had preliminary control over the Eternal Furnace, even though he could release the fusion energy in a linear...
Or rather, a fan-shaped pattern, the power was somewhat reduced.
However, this reduction pertained to the concentrated release of nuclear fusion energy.
In this wave resembling Atomic Breath, the entire Earth seemed directly torn apart, mountains, rivers, forests, trees were all turned to char on the spot.
The light swept across, and all Devils and Great Demons, even those at the Demon King Level, also couldn’t escape being instantly sliced and carbonized.
Only the two Demon Emperors, with their Double Demon Bodies stacked, tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, were able to withstand the sweeping of Atomic Breath.
Even so, as the Atomic Breath impacted, mixed with flesh, charred wounds still appeared on their bodies, which would have been fatal to any ordinary life form.
Had it not been for the fact that these two Demon Emperors both possessed a Double Demon Body with strong defenses and tremendous vitality, they would likely have been severely injured under such an attack.
Still, this round of attacks indeed alarmed the two Demon Emperors.
The enemy possessed long-range capabilities.
And...
Gu Jinlai currently exhibited a speed that far surpassed them; if they really continued to flee, he could entirely wear them down using kiting tactics.
"This human, although exceedingly cunning, can be inferred from his need to use schemes to kill the second and the fourth that he likely does not possess the strength to confront the four of us Great Commanders jointly; otherwise, he would have directly attacked us and beheaded us!"
The Six-headed Demon Emperor, perhaps due to its numerous heads, processed thoughts markedly faster than other Demon Emperors: "From his use of schemes, it indicates that although he still appears to have some energy left, it must be nearly depleted. If we gather our subordinates and fight him to the death, the outcome is still uncertain!"
The Rhinoceros-like Great Commander perceived the speed displayed by Gu Jinlai.
Escape?
Couldn’t escape.
It might only result in them being effortlessly killed by the opponent after exhausting their strength.
In such a situation, they could only gamble.
Gamble that this human was indeed at his limit.
And then gather all the Devils to fight him to the death.
Apart from this, there was no other choice!
With this thought in mind, the Rhino Man Great Commander roared, utilizing the residual Spirit power belonging to Demon Spirits within him to transmit the command to all Devils’ ears: "This human is already extremely weak. Now, he is just bluffing. My fellows, heed my command, surround and annihilate him. After this is done, I will open the garden for you to freely enjoy for ten days and nights!"
The command carried the suppression of a higher Spirit on the lower ones.
Even though these Spirit beings had transformed into Devils, the oppressive instinct still allowed them to overcome the fear of this human power.
Along with the encouragement from the words of the Rhino Man Great Commander...
Suddenly, all the Devils howled uproariously, swarming from every hill and dale, pressing forward to launch a charge at Gu Jinlai, completely engulfing him in a sea of Devils.
And Gu Jinlai...
Also acted very cooperatively.
His goal was never simply to kill the four Demon Emperors, but to wipe out all the Devils in the Chi Long Territory in one sweep.
These Demon Emperors wanting to exhaust him with Devils precisely aligned with his intention.
To let the Devils of the Chi Long Territory see hope, initially, the brilliance of nuclear fusion flickered intermittently.
But after some time, the frequency of releasing such Divine Skills akin to the arrival of the Great Sun fell sharply, only being used when he was surrounded by Devils from all sides, so many that even ensuring a possible breakout became difficult.
Eventually, when his Qi fell again and he leapt into the Void, he was unexpectedly intercepted by a Demon King-level avian, falling back to the ground with a trend that indicated that even breaking through the sky to escape was becoming difficult.
For this, the Devils paid a price of over two hundred thousand ordinary Devils’ lives, including the lives of four Demon Kings.
"This human is done for! His Qi has become extremely weak. This time, is it for real!? If we strike now... we can definitely deal a lethal blow!"
The Rhino Man Demon Emperor’s spirit was invigorated.
"Humans are always cunning. To be safe, let those Demon King subordinates go first,"
the Six-headed Demon Emperor remained very cautious.
The Rhino Man Demon Emperor surveyed the surroundings. Although there were quite a few Demon Kings lurking around the battlefield, the powerful nature of this human instilled fear in them, such that unless he forcibly commanded, none of the Demon Kings took the initiative to advance.
"This human has grown even weaker, they must also see it; they just want to wait a while longer to let this human weaken thoroughly, but delay may lead to unexpected changes. We’ll simultaneously order them to attack and offer a reward—whosoever kills this human will get three million members of the Human Clan as vassals!"
the Six-headed Demon Emperor said.
"Three million!?"
The Rhino Man Demon Emperor’s eyes widened.
This was nearly thirty percent of the total population in the Chi Long Territory.
"Great Commander, the territories of the other two commanders are now available, amounting to over four million people,"
whispered the Six-headed Demon Emperor.
The Rhino Man Demon Emperor immediately realized the implications.
At that moment, another Demon King reported, "We have spotted a team of over a thousand humans on the outskirts of our territory. Since our main forces were already engaged in surrounding this human strongman, we didn’t test the depth of that human team, but there are at least three Devas among them."
"This must be the human’s backup force! How could he dare to enter our Chi Long Territory alone? Even if there are only dozens of Devas among the thousands of humans on the periphery, after our forces are scattered and leaderless, he could still take down the Chi Long Territory. This also suggests that this human indeed has his limits."
Having understood the cause and effect, the Rhino Man Demon Emperor immediately issued a motivating command.
With three million subjects and the humans truly at the end of their tether, even needing to call for reinforcements, one by one, the Demon Kings finally joined the siege.
Then...
Although Gu Jinlai’s energy continued to decrease and he even sustained some injuries, the Demon Kings who charged at him were steadily blasted away.
In the fierce battle, more than twenty Demon Kings and tens of thousands of Devils turned into dust once again.
And Gu Jinlai...
in a situation where the morale of the remaining less than ten Demon Kings had fallen to an unprecedented low, he was thrown out, spitting blood for the third, or perhaps the fourth or fifth time.
This time, he did not stand up to counterattack immediately. Instead, he quickly rushed toward a cave and exerted his utmost to summon a Supreme Grade Spirit Artifact with negligible defensive power, forming a barrier of light.
He clearly intended to hold out in the cave, enduring until the reinforcements arrived.
Seeing this human truly driven to desperation, completely losing the ability to resist, the Rhino Man Great Commander couldn’t help but laugh out loud again.
"Hahaha, he finally can’t hold on anymore. With such a barrier, watch me shatter it with one strike!"
The Six-headed Demon Emperor had no time to stop him as its enormous form already crossed the Void, bringing with it a force as mighty as Mount Tai directed at Gu Jinlai.
But just as it was about to deliver the final blow at full speed, the human hiding in the shield of light took out an elixir and swallowed it...
In the Void, the expression on the Rhino Man who was descending with the force of Mount Tai suddenly froze.
And the human who swallowed an elixir, which even a Demon Spirit could tell was useless, instantly revived on the spot, fully replenished in both health and magic.
Fierce and wild energy burst forth from his body, like an erupting volcano. In the midst of thunder and lightning, the Rhino Man Demon Emperor, who descended with a final judgment, crashed head-on into a blazing stream of energy.
"Human!"
The Demon Emperor let out a mournful, unwilling roar.
The next moment, the Great Sun crossed the sky.
In the heavens, that dazzling, excessively bright white brilliance filled the sky again.
Moreover, compared to the previous times, this brilliance was more than ten times stronger. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Endless brilliance mingled with high temperatures and fierce flames stormed recklessly in all directions.
The Rhino Man Demon Emperor, facing the blast akin to a nuclear explosion, was directly slapped into powder by the terrifying heat.
The surrounding Demon Kings who took the opportunity to join the siege were hit by the fiercely shining intense light one after another, their enormous bodies ignited, burned to charcoal, then stripped by the shockwave until they completely shattered and vanished into smoke.
Seeing that blaze ignite the sky, rendering dozens of kilometers around into a dark red flame of destruction...
The peripheral Six-headed Demon Emperor was stunned.
It felt insulted in its intelligence.
"Human... human..."
It took a while before it trembled, its massive body seemingly quivering slightly.
It thought it had been cautious enough against these cunning and deceitful humans, yet unexpectedly...
"It’s over... The Chi Long Territory, it’s over..."
muttered the Six-headed Demon Emperor.
It took several breaths for it to suddenly jolt awake and then move away as fast as possible.
"Rumble!"
Almost at the same time, a sound of thunder came from the sky.
A lightning bolt split dust and flames at a high temperature, charging out at lightning speed, quickly covering the distance of about ten miles between it and the Six-headed Demon Emperor.
"Human, if you destroy the Chi Long Territory, that means declaring war on our Demon Clan. The great Dragon Tears Demon Emperor will not let this go easily. When the Demon Emperor unleashes the demon tide, every city outside the Chi Long Territory will pay the price for your provocation!"
The Six-headed Demon Emperor screamed in terror, moving as fast as possible.
But what responded to it was the condensed force of Thunder Power.
Thunder like a sword, tearing through the Void.
Even the blazing red sky behind could not overshadow its brilliance.
"Rumble!"
The next moment, this Demon Emperor was struck by this divine sword-like thunder, stiffening on the spot.
Immediately after, a thousand thunders fired simultaneously, and the body of the last Demon Emperor of the Chi Long Territory was torn to shreds under the magnificent heavenly might.
