Chapter 534: Chapter 530: The Guizhou Donkey has Exhausted its Skills
"Buzz, buzz!"
Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit had achieved Primordial Chaos without leakage.
The soul-sweeping sound waves were easily withstood.
The pounding on the heart...
...was also due to the perfection of the Chaotic Star Light Body, which provided strong resistance.
In this level of clash, the renowned endurance of the Eternal Furnace hardly played any significant role.
Seeing the light emanating from the Treasure Bottle on the Xuan Yang Demon God intensify, he operated the Chaotic Star Light Body at full strength, unleashing endless electromagnetic power from his body. Under the influence of the Child of the Stars trait, he manipulated it with his hands to form a brilliant ring with a diameter of three hundred meters.
As a Thunder Sword condensed in the Thunder Light Domain, the sword light, like a bolt of silk, shot forth, leaving a clear silver trail in the void.
However, the target of the Thunder Sword seemed not to be the Xuan Yang Demon God.
It was instead the brilliant ring that Gu Jinlai had formed.
When the Thunder Sword shot into the brilliant ring, the heaven and earth seemed to pause for a moment.
A massive amount of lightning burst out from within.
In less than half a second!
The originally meter-thick Thunder Sword swelled explosively in size, reaching nearly a hundred meters!
Moreover, the speed at which it shot increased several times compared to when it was first launched.
At this moment, the Thunder Sword was no longer just a sword, but a pillar of light.
A massive Thunder Pillar, raging with the fury of annihilation, blasted toward the Xuan Yang Demon God.
This was the Superlimit Thunder Sword, propelled by the power of magnetic field rotation!
"Buzz, buzz!"
The nearly hundred-meter-wide Thunder Pillar pierced through heaven and earth, just as the energy accumulated in the Treasure Bottle held high by the Xuan Yang Demon God reached its peak.
Following that, an energy column with a diameter of tens of meters blasted out from the Treasure Bottle.
A scene that seemed to exist only in animation suddenly unfolded between Gu Jinlai and the Xuan Yang Demon God.
The two massive energy columns collided in the sky and annihilated each other.
The exploding lightning, intense light, and high temperatures instantly evaporated and shattered the clouds within ten thousand meters.
The fierce collision of the two energies, the Thunder Sword...
The Thunder Pillar seemed to gain an absolute advantage.
The two energy columns only withstood each other for a moment before the intense light from the Xuan Yang Demon God’s Treasure Bottle was forced back.
Visible shockwaves dispersed in layers, colliding and sweeping up the body of Xuan Yang Demon God, pushing him thousands of meters back with the light column of the Thunder Sword.
"Thump, thump!"
The sounds of the zither and drums became even more urgent.
In such a critical battle, any slight interference could tip the scales of victory.
The arrow that had been aimed at Gu Jinlai also shot forth at that moment, carrying a force capable of moving mountains as it pierced through the void.
Gu Jinlai, still maintaining the state of the Thunder Sword, was unable to dodge; instead, he chose to escalate the power of the Thunder Domain to the extreme.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Accompanied by the thunderstorm’s roar.
Countless bolts of lightning furiously struck the arrow before him.
Under the thunder’s assault, the inherent power within the arrow rapidly diminished.
Yet even so, the arrow still pierced through the blockade of the Thunder Light Domain, its momentum unbroken as it penetrated Gu Jinlai’s vast body, leaving a hole several meters in diameter.
Within the hole, no blood flowed, but it was filled with dazzling electric light.
However, Gu Jinlai didn’t even spare a glance at this damage.
The Chaotic Star Light Body operated at full power, his body’s trillions of cells vibrating wildly, nurturing countless thunderbolts, feeding them into the Thunder Sword. The infusion of the Thunder Sword visibly pushed forward layer by layer, driving back the energy column blasted from the Xuan Yang Demon God’s Treasure Bottle, now less than a thousand meters from striking the Xuan Yang Demon God’s body.
And the energy column from the Treasure Bottle had also shrunk from over sixty meters to just over forty meters.
Clearly, it had exhausted the energy it had been nurturing.
At this time, Xuan Yang Demon God also realized the crisis he faced.
Those arms that held conventional close-combat weapons quickly stowed them away, each hand swiftly clutching the Treasure Bottle.
Suddenly, more than eight arms lifted the Treasure Bottle high, and the energy stored throughout the body was continuously poured into it, causing the forty-plus-meter energy column to swell again to over sixty meters, further reaching seventy and eighty meters.
"This kind of energy accumulation..."
Gu Jinlai’s expression subtly changed.
He was, in essence, battling a machine’s energy storage with his flesh and blood body.
Perhaps the total energy stored by both was comparable, but a machine could convert everything into energy, while he could not possibly burn all his cells.
"We cannot keep fighting like this."
For the Demon Gods, the Demon God Body was akin to their remote-controlled Mecha.
As long as they could achieve a one-for-one battle outcome, that was their victory.
He quickly recalled the interaction between the Child of the Stars and the heaven and earth when he ascended into Yunxiao.
With a thought...
He infused a ray of light into the consciousness avatar within his spirit world.
Instantly, that interaction turned from a vague feeling to crystal clear.
At this moment, he himself seemed to also become a star.
The force of the magnetic field rotation was like the revolution of stars.
He made his own electromagnetic rotation turn clockwise swiftly, then stimulated the Star Magnetic Field Power to turn counterclockwise swiftly, combining the two...
Grind!
A glint flashed in Gu Jinlai’s eyes.
The next moment, the brilliant ring used to amplify the Thunder Sword’s power continually expanded.
At the same time, with an empty hand clasp, a massive invisible energy from the heavens and earth was drawn in, shaking violently.
Within a hundred miles, several hundred miles, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy changed drastically, with wind and clouds surging.
It was as if an invisible arm was leading the celestial phenomena, forming a huge vortex between heaven and earth.
The whirlpool pulled in dark clouds from all directions at an incredibly fast rate, and at the very center of these clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared in an instant.
Countless bolts of lightning interwove tightly together, eventually seeming to form a visible ring of thunder and lightning.
It was very similar to the dazzling halo that Gu Jinlai had used to amplify the power of his Thunder Sword.
The only difference was that the dazzling halo summoned by Gu Jinlai was extremely condensed in energy, with a diameter of only three hundred meters.
Whereas that Thunder Ring, which had drawn the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy from hundreds of miles around, measured a full thousand kilometers in diameter.
It was several times larger than the largest aircraft carriers on Blue Star, with a total area large enough to completely envelop a small county town.
The two rings, one following the other, sandwiched the Xuan Yang Demon God between them.
One large, one small, rotating in opposite directions rapidly.
In this rotation, it was as if two massive electrical bodies were releasing both positive and negative charges.
"Roar!"
Finally!
The two massive rings, spinning rapidly in opposite directions, seemed to form some kind of resonance; bolts of lightning were drawn from within the rings and struck violently.
And the core of those strikes...
Was precisely the Xuan Yang Demon God who was confronting Gu Jinlai with an amplified Thunder Sword and holding up the Treasure Bottle!
In this clash of True Immortal and Demon God-like powers, even the slightest interference could tip the balance of victory.
Moreover, at this moment, the enormous vortex that Gu Jinlai had manipulated using electromagnetic rotational forces contained energy far beyond mere straw.
If one were to speak of the total energy, it even surpassed Gu Jinlai’s Cultivation Perfection in the Chaotic Starlight Body.
It was merely because the energy’s release and condensation were relatively slow, it couldn’t unleash its destructive power that surpassed "Innate Divine Beasts."
But...
It was more than enough to be the last giant stone that tipped the scales!
"Roar!"
The two continuously spinning halos gradually approached and overlapped.
As they came closer to each other, the released thunder and lightning became more numerous and more intense.
When the large and small rings were just a few kilometers apart, dense thunderbolts filled the vast space where the Xuan Yang Demon God was, illuminating its space brightly.
Even though the Xuan Yang Demon God continuously attempted to divert the incoming thunderbolts using various methods, there were just too many thunderbolts...
Too many of them.
The body of this Demon God, constructed from numerous top materials, was swiftly crushed under the relentless pressure of the released thunder and lightning.
"Truly excellent Divine Skills,"
stated the Xuan Yang Demon God.
It glanced toward the horizon’s end.
There was a trace of regret in its expression.
At this time, Gu Jinlai also sensed something.
At the edge of the sky, two equally vast and mighty presences were rapidly approaching.
He suddenly turned his gaze toward the Xuan Yang Demon God.
Initially, the beam of light that shot out from that Treasure Bottle had a diameter of merely sixty meters, but afterwards, it surged to eighty meters, ninety meters.
It showed that its power during the clash of energies was no less than his.
Yet it still chose to display weakness to the enemy.
Its purpose was to tie him down, to fight and deplete him, creating a favorable combat environment for the other two great demon gods who were about to arrive.
And it...
The containment had failed,
but it had succeeded in depleting his powers.
"Li Yang Cave Heaven Gu Jinlai? I will remember you. Your defeat is inevitable; the only difference is whether you fall to us or to those monsters. When the most fearsome monster awakens, I just hope you won’t regret having frantically tried to stop us today," said the Xuan Yang Demon God, and with that, the energy within the ten-armed held up Treasure Bottle swiftly dimmed.
Following this, endless thunderbolts struck its body like a violent storm, and that body of the Demon God, forged from countless top-tier materials, was instantly pulverized.
Gu Jinlai’s gaze immediately turned to the Xuan Yang Demon God.
But...
He did not "see" the body of the Xuan Yang Demon God.
Not even its "Demon Spirit" form was visible.
Were it not for the many shattered remnants of the Demon God’s body, it would seem as if it had never existed at all.
Thus, in this battle, his ultimate achievement was merely the destruction of one of the Xuan Yang Demon God’s bodies.
"No,"
muttered Gu Jinlai, observing the remains of the Xuan Yang Demon God for a moment before quickly realizing something.
The Xuan Yang Demon God...
Or perhaps the Spirit Venerable Xuan Yang, was taken away by a special force.
This force seemed to open a passage to the Demon Realm from their world without passing through the Demon Realm Rift, allowing it to return to the Demon Realm.
If he could pursue it right now...
This thought lingered in Gu Jinlai’s mind for a moment before he extinguished it.
There was no need to guess that the place where the Spirit Venerable Xuan Yang returned would undoubtedly be a tremendously important location in the Demon Realm, possibly even the stronghold of the Demon Realm.
Never mind that he was just a minor Great Sky Lord; even if he were the creator, entering there might not ensure a safe return.
Gu Jinlai withdrew his thoughts from the Spirit Venerable Xuan Yang and looked again towards the end of the sky.
The presences of two demon gods were getting closer.
"It’s not completely without gain,"
Gu Jinlai murmured to himself, "I’ve attacked their stronghold, destroying the body of Xuan Yang Demon God, yet the devil side has only sent two demon gods to intercept. This fact alone is proof enough!"
The devils...
are at their wits’ end.
