Chapter 532: Chapter 528: Crush
The fleshly body ultimately has a limit to its enhancement.
Even for the Innate Divine Beasts, favored by heaven and earth, their final evolutionary direction is to enhance the fit between themselves and the universe, thus turning themselves into a transmission device between heaven and earth.
As an alien species, Demon Spirits evidently find it difficult to win the favor of heaven and earth; under such circumstances, their evolutionary direction invariably involves self-modification.
Each Demon Emperor is almost akin to a hybrid of biological and mechanical features, forming a powerful weapon.
Moreover, as the materials they use for their transformations are top-notch and their inherent traits as Demon Bodies endow these materials and equipment with strong regenerative properties of living beings, the combination produces an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Even when struck by Divine Skills, they recover quickly.
In addition to the distinctive Demon Flame of the devils...
The combat power of each Demon Emperor is no less formidable than that of a Void Immortal.
Currently, as fourteen Demon Emperors burst forth simultaneously, with Demon Flame sweeping across and merging into a single mass, it seemed as though they would ignite the heaven and earth within dozens of miles completely.
Any creature that merely witnessed this Demon Flame would be provoked into unleashing their desires.
If it were a Martial Saint who had already experienced "indulging in desires," they might become completely controlled by their own lust, thus entering an "Out-of-Control" state.
However, Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit had already been refined using the power of the Spirit Venerable in the Demon Realm, achieving the state of Primordial Chaos, leaving the corrosive desire within the Demon Flame virtually ineffective against him.
He charged directly into the blockade formed by the fourteen Demon Emperors, almost enduring the Demon Flame, and, along with the operation of the Eternal Furnace, the South Fire Divine Light concentrated into a beam of light dozens of meters in diameter, instantly striking the Demon Emperor who charged forward the fastest.
That Demon Emperor instantly raised Demon Flame, aided by the power of the surrounding emperors to form multiple layers of blockades trying to weaken the power of the South Fire Divine Light. Still, when struck by the South Fire Divine Light, most of his body was still burnt into a charred mess.
The next moment, a metallic luster flashed.
The charred flesh on the body of that half-charred Demon Emperor rapidly peeled off, quickly regenerating new skin, and then once again covered by a metallic defensive layer.
This astonishing recovery...
Merely took a couple of breaths to complete.
"This is fundamentally why a Demon Emperor is powerful..."
A Saint with an Undying Body and a weak aura formed by carrying Demon Flame?
No!
The physique of a Demon Emperor is stronger than that of a Saint.
"Humans!"
At this moment, two Demon Emperors capable of long-range attacks acted simultaneously.
One, similar to the Dragon Tears Demon Emperor, massively overlapped a pair of wings behind him, forming a giant sword tens of meters long, sweeping through Demon Flame, breaking the sky as it shot forward.
The other Demon Emperor seemed to harbor a reactor within his body, launching an attack akin to Atomic Breath.
Both attacks tore through the void, reaching Gu Jinlai’s position within moments, less than ten miles away.
However, upon entering this area, the repeatedly folded giant sword and the atomic breath imbued with the power to annihilate holy bodies seemed as if they had struck a hornets’ nest.
Dozens of thunder strikes burst forth abruptly, exploding.
The heavens and earth appeared illuminated by infinite thunder light in an instant.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The giant sword, formed from metallic wings, was directly shattered by the thunder light, exploding into numerous fragments, then charred by the following thunder strikes.
However, that stream of Atomic Breath, due to being an energy form, although struck by thunder strikes, still managed to reach three miles in front of Gu Jinlai.
But that was the limit of this energy attack.
Gu Jinlai stretched out his hand...
The energy appeared as if bound by a terrifying force in the void, unable to move an inch.
As he flicked his fingers, that surging energy, like flicked ash, shattered and annihilated.
This scene, witnessed by those Demon Emperors sweeping forward, caused their pupils to suddenly constrict.
"The Strongest Void Immortal!? No! This can’t be the so-called power of the Strongest Void Immortal!"
"Supreme Void Immortal... His power must have reached the level of a Supreme Void Immortal!"
"He did not use a Divine Weapon! To reach the level of a Supreme Void Immortal with his own strength... Did he break through to the True Immortal Realm that rivals the power of a Demon God!?"
The responsive Demon Emperor Kaya and Changyuan Demon Emperor immediately realized something.
But by this time, the distance between the two sides had already been compressed to twenty miles.
As he manifested the blazing brilliance similar to the Great Sun, Gu Jinlai was already transitioning into the Child of the Stars state.
That was also why he barely moved.
Now, as the Child of the Stars state deepened, the range of the Thunder Light Domain had already spread to forty or fifty miles beyond.
"Eternal Furnace..."
Gu Jinlai slightly shifted his stance; his huge body was covered with electrical light, but even more terrifying was the full power operation of the power within the Eternal Furnace inside him.
This moment, Gu Jinlai could finally operate the Eternal Furnace without any worries, without any restrictions, allowing the uninterrupted release of energy from within the Eternal Furnace.
And as he extended his right hand, his fingers spread open, the energy formed from nuclear fusion within the Eternal Furnace began to congregate above the palm of his hand.
The dazzling strong light and terrifying energy released from this orb of light on his palm, the fierce and wild energy fluctuations, immediately caused the faces of the advancing Demon Emperors to drastically change.
"This power..."
"It’s his Great Divine Power!"
"Be careful!"
Each Demon Emperor shouted, quickly moving at maximum speed in all directions.
Those skilled in movement techniques flickered unpredictably, those proficient in illusions freely disrupted, and those confident in their defensive power swiftly entered a defensive state, preparing to resist the energy blast.
However...
Avoiding, flickering, it was all meaningless.
Saints, compared to Devas, did not have much increase in speed.
Fundamentally, Demon Emperors, being enhanced Saints, also did not have much of a speed boost.
Even after being transformed to master speed, the fastest flicker and shift of the Demon Emperor would not exceed ten times the speed of sound.
Not to mention that at this moment, they were all enveloped within Gu Jinlai’s Thunder Light Domain.
Accompanied by the transmission characteristic delivery, this wildly violent energy, nurtured by the Eternal Furnace operated by him, instantaneously appeared at the positions directly facing the hearts of the three Demon Emperors.
The next moment, an endless glow and heat burst forth into existence.
Between heaven and earth, a brilliance that overshadowed the Sun burst forth unrestrained.
The targeted three Demon Emperors, despite some being even more powerful than the Dragon Tears Demon Emperor, still stood no chance in the face of the energy comparable to the explosion of a million-ton hydrogen bomb, which Gu Jinlai had readied.
They were directly "slapped" into shattering by the glow as if it possessed mass.
The closest Demon Emperor left nothing behind.
Even the one farthest away, at best, left a shadow of several tens of meters on the ground, proving its prior existence in this world.
The brilliance of this dazzling light signaled the beginning of Gu Jinlai, alone, against fourteen...
Against eleven Demon Emperors’ slaughter.
After this flash of light, immediately after, a second blinding light burst forth.
A brilliance like that of the Great Sun descending filled everyone’s vision.
Although this strike’s potency was significantly less than the previous one, the coordinate domain power with the Thunder Light Domain directly delivered the nuclear fusion energy to those Demon Emperors, allowing them zero-distance contact.
Even if the power was reduced, it was still not something these Demon Emperors could withstand head-on.
"It’s the domain! We are fighting him in his domain! Tear apart this domain!"
The spiritual fluctuations of the Black Fire Demon Emperor resonated in the minds of the surviving Demon Emperors.
Demon Emperor Kaya roared immediately, releasing a Divine Skill that turned the surroundings into a vacuum-like state, with visible ripples emanating from it towards all directions, clearing up a quarter section of the Thunder Light Domain.
It was as if a huge bite had been taken out of a mooncake.
Another Demon Emperor, Changyuan, seized the moment, his form twisted, and with bone spurs and Demon Flame surging behind him a dozen meters long, it streaked towards Gu Jinlai like a flying sword cutting through the Void.
"Fourteen Demon Emperors united... It seems they also used a special method to form a Battle Formation. Even a Supreme Void Immortal might be surrounded and killed. As for me... If someone could block some attacks for me, relying on the Eternal Furnace to build up power, it would only be a matter of time before I annihilate them. However, just with the Eternal Furnace and the Thunder Light Domain alone, it’s somewhat insufficient." Gu Jinlai said, as he carried out the Thunder Light Dragon Transformation.
"Roar roar roar!"
The thunder light flickered.
He easily dodged those bone spikes.
But at that moment, the attack that turned the surroundings into a vacuum-like state from Demon Emperor Kaya was released again, this time not spreading out from him as the center, but like a sharp sword, cutting into the domain Gu Jinlai wanted to re-condense.
Immediately, thunder roared!
The vacuum sharp sword shattered the Void and cleaved up to one li away from Gu Jinlai, where it was then dissolved by the power of the Thunder Light Domain.
For Gu Jinlai, one li was no different from one meter.
Behind Demon Emperor Kaya, several Demon Emperors who had already surged to a few li in front of him deployed their Divine Skills simultaneously. Various types of energy fluctuations emanated from them, and their might was enough to change the face of even a Supreme Void Immortal.
"Very powerful. No wonder they didn’t disperse and flee when they learned I had come," Gu Jinlai remarked.
It seems...
He would need to give his all.
Gu Jinlai, observing the terrifying energy being gathered and brewed by each of the Demon Emperors, spread his massive arms wide.
The Chaotic Star Light Body and the Child of the Stars trait resonated, a type of energy distinct from that of the Eternal Furnace and intense tha gathered around him.
"Magnetic field..."
"Roar roar roar!"
Six Demon Emperors launched their offensive simultaneously: metallic sharp swords, energy blasts, atomic breath...
The brilliance seemed to create a torrent of energy, filling the space in front of Gu Jinlai, as if to completely engulf and drown the several li ahead of him.
And it was at this moment that Gu Jinlai made his move.
"Rotate!"
With that, his outstretched arms were thrust forward fiercely.
Instantly...
Metallic sharp swords, energy blasts, atomic breath, the torrential assaults launched by the six great Demon Emperors, seemed to strike an invisible mill.
No!
It wasn’t entirely without form.
Faintly, people could see bursts of thunder emerging from that "mill."
Yet these bursts of thunder were significantly less intense compared to the previous Thunder Light Domain!
"Roar roar roar!"
Suddenly!
The mill began to rotate!
Like a gigantic superstellar mill grinding all the interior wheat, beans, rice, and more!
Grinding, grinding, grinding!
Under the rotation of that invisible mill, all the attacks of the six great Demon Emperors were completely crushed.
Sharp swords, energy blasts, atomic breath, all means of attack were indistinguishable in the face of this force—crunched into dust by the mere rotation of Gu Jinlai’s hands.
This gigantic mill also seemed to contain astonishing pulling force, rapidly advancing and rolling up the six great Demon Emperors, whose senses screamed danger attempting to forcefully retreat. Like beans popping, they were instantly crushed by the invisible mill, ground into flour as easily as beans.
To destroy with such ease, this was it.
