Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Black Abyss Realm.

One of the Six Realms.

This is the territory of the Alien Demon Clan.

Alien Demons, also known as Heavenly Demons, belong to a species on the side of Spirit, who cultivate by absorbing the seven emotions and six desires of living beings.

This is somewhat similar to the Divine Spirits and Evil Gods.

However, compared to the Divine Spirits and Evil Gods who pull up by the roots, Alien Demons to some extent emphasize sustainable development.

Therefore, they can be counted among one of the Six Great Races in the Cosmos, alongside Star Spirits, Innate Sacred, Mechanical People, Human Clan, and Undying Clan.

However, although the Black Abyss Realm is the territory of the Alien Demons, it does not mean that other species do not exist on their territory.

Just as the New Fire Star Sea also contains Star Spirits, Innate Sacred, and Mechanical Life, in the Black Abyss Realm, there is a powerful species known as the Feather Spirit Clan.

This species is somewhat similar to the Human Clan but possesses extremely keen emotions towards energy and the external world.

Moreover, this species belongs to the Longevity Species, even without cultivation, they still have a lifespan of thousands of years.

Additionally, their abundant emotions make it easier for them to fall into insights, often progressing a thousand miles a day in cultivation.

But due to their abundant emotions, when attempting to advance to the Immortal Realm, they are easily disrupted by various interferences, unable to concentrate on aligning one Great Dao to perfection.

Under such circumstances, the Great Dao Golden Immortals of the Feather Spirit Clan emerge one after another, yet the number of Immortal Golden Immortals is pitifully few.

The number of Immortal Venerables, who can be regarded as cosmic overlords, is even more scarce.

If it wasn't for a Great Power standing behind the Feather Spirit Clan, this emotionally rich species would have already become cultivation resources and daily puppets for the Alien Demon Clan.

But in reality, even with a Great Power behind them, the Feather Spirit Clan's situation is still dire, with clan members disappearing as a regular occurrence.

Sometimes, Alien Demons even brazenly invade the territory of the Feather Spirit Clan, plundering their lives for cultivation purposes.

The Feather Spirit Clan's Immortal Venerable argues for justice, but with little effect.

...

At this moment, within the territory of the Feather Spirit Clan, the current clan leader, Lingyi Immortal Venerable, was in a secret place, gloomily watching a being composed of Divine Sense Ability in front of him.

And in front of him, a scene was playing out.

An incredibly sinister-looking battleship was approaching a world, directly breaking through the barriers around the world, and all the Feather Spirit Clan people contained within that world, hundreds of billions, were plundered completely.

And the owner of the battleship…

almost did not bother with any disguise.

It was exactly the doing of a prince from the Violent Flame Dynasty within the Alien Demon Clan.

"Do you see it? The Alien Demon Clan never really saw you as a complete race; they merely see you as a highly cost-effective cultivation resource raised in this starry sky, and when they feel the need, or when the number of Feather Spirit Clan people is sufficiently large, they'll come back to harvest, no matter how hard you struggle, how hard you try, you can't change the fate of the Feather Spirit Clan's future."

The thought waves of this being swirled: "It's not just the Alien Demons, even the Star Spirits, Innate Sacred, Mechanical Life, Human Clan, and Undying Clan also do not consider you as part of this cosmos, otherwise, why do they all remain indifferent to your demands for justice."

Lingyi Immortal Venerable is considered among the top tier at the level of Immortal Venerable.

But faced with this scene, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Violent Flame Dynasty is one of the thirteen top-level dynasties of the Alien Demon Clan, all supported by Great Powers.

And the beings in the Violent Flame Dynasty, comparable to Immortal Venerable and Immortal Level, are altogether no less than those of the Feather Spirit Clan, perhaps even…

more numerous.

The Feather Spirit Clan has no chance of victory in a war against the Violent Flame Dynasty.

"In this world, fairness has never existed; the so-called fairness and justice entirely depend on the power in your hands, controlled solely by yourself."

The thought waves of this being were filled with power to entice the heart: "Just like the Alien Demons of the past, known as Heavenly Demons, they were the great scourge of all living beings, besieged by countless cultivators once they appeared in the world, but what was the result? Just because the Heavenly Demons were powerful and the races needed their strength to fight against us, the Divine and Ancient Divine Race, the Heavenly Demon Clan, which was supposed to be the cosmic enemy, transformed into the Alien Demon Clan, openly living in the cosmos, trampling upon your Feather Spirit Clan's lives to their hearts' content."

He suddenly clenched his fist: "Power is the only truth in this world!"

"But you do not have enough strength!"

Lingyi Immortal Venerable looked at this being: "You Divine Spirits are nothing but rats hiding everywhere."

"I do not deny your claim, therefore, we need to change."

This clearly Divine Spirit-powered consciousness said in a deep voice: "We cannot face the Six Great Races, but someone can, we need to leverage stronger external forces, break the order and rule of the Six Great Races over this cosmos for billions of years, be reborn in the chaos, and head for glory!"

"Evil God?"

Lingyi Immortal Venerable sneered: "You intend to borrow the Evil God Power to plunge the cosmos into chaos, so that your Divine Spirit sects can develop greatly in the chaos and fear? Is this really glory for us? I see, this is to let our entire Feather Spirit Clan accompany your Divine Spirits to destruction, isn't it?"

"I know, your Feather Spirit Clan still holds illusions of the future, but you should know, the reason the Feather Spirit Clan is not completely enslaved by the Alien Demon is mainly because of the Great Power standing behind you."

This Divine Spirit said meaningfully: "This is not just the will of our Divine Emperor Council, but also the will of the Ancient God of Black Abyss, and even more, the will of over ten Ancient Gods including the Ancient God of Black Abyss, Ancient God Yuan Huang, Taihuan Ancient God, etc. If the Feather Spirit Clan does not agree, and several Ancient Gods join forces to besiege the Great Power behind your Feather Spirit Clan, what do you think will be the fate of the Feather Spirit Clan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lingyi Immortal Venerable's face changed dramatically: "You…"

But immediately afterward, he forcibly calmed himself down: "The Six Great Races will not allow such a thing to happen!"

"Why not?"

This Divine Spirit sneered: "Do the Six Great Races really need a Great Power like you? Even if...if the Alien Demons were willing to take over the defense area originally belonging to the Feather Spirit Clan and pay a certain price?"

"The Six Great Races should know what consequences would follow if such a thing were allowed to happen! They will definitely send Great Powers to reinforce!"

Lingyi Immortal Venerable said.

"Even if the Six Great Races know the consequences of allowing this to happen and will send Great Powers to support, don't forget that the Ancient Gods are the stronger side. Attackers have a huge first-move advantage over defenders. Unless the Six Great Races dispatch ten or eight Great Powers to accompany the Great Powers behind your Feather Spirit Clan at all times, who can assure his safety under the threat of the Ancient Gods?"

The Divine Spirit spoke, then paused slightly: "Even if the Six Great Races truly send ten or eight Great Powers to protect the Great Powers of the Feather Spirit Clan, how long can they protect? Ten thousand years? A hundred thousand years? A million years? This war has been going on for billions of years; we don't mind waiting a few million more years. But can those Great Powers of the Six Great Races wait? Can the Great Powers of your Feather Spirit Clan afford to gamble?"

Lingyi Immortal Venerable's breathing suddenly became extremely rapid.

Despite his emotional richness, even having achieved Immortal Venerable status, at this moment, he still felt an indescribable anger and...

A sense of powerlessness as a weakling.

"This is a result from our investigation."

The Divine Spirit didn't press further on that topic: "The population of the Feather Spirit Clan reached its peak eight hundred thousand years ago, but in these eight hundred thousand years, the numbers have kept declining. Now, the population is less than a third of what it was eighty thousand years ago. Why? Isn't it because the Alien Demon Clan intentionally controls the population of your Feather Spirit Clan, controlling your cultivation of experts, lest another one or two Great Powers emerge, freeing your Feather Spirit Clan from their control?"

He said slowly: "As long as your Feather Spirit Clan doesn't think about breaking the deadlock, there will never be a day of emergence!"

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Lingyi Immortal Venerable's breathing grew heavier.

"The only ones who can help you are us, the Divine Race."

The Divine Spirit said: "The Ancient Gods breaking out from the Heart of the Cosmic could cause enormous harm to the universe, but we will give you the complete Ancient God Cultivation Method. By then, when you become part of the Ancient Gods, naturally you won't have to worry about your own safety."

"You Divine Spirits, Evil Gods, are all a bunch of lunatics...only knowing how to destroy the entire universe..."

Lingyi Immortal Venerable gritted his teeth and said.

"How vast the universe is, it is still expanding outward to this day. Can we Divine Spirits, Evil Gods, really destroy the universe? You are underestimating the scale of the universe. Besides...if that day indeed comes, maybe it would still be billions of years later. You may be an Immortal Venerable, but can you handle things billions of years from now?"

The Divine Spirit said.

Lingyi Immortal Venerable fell silent.

After a long while, he finally said: "I need something tangible."

"Oh? Speak, I'm listening."

"Over the years, many Immortal Venerables have fallen on the battlefield of the Heart of the Cosmic, and in the wars of those years, more than one Great Power even perished. The Ancient Gods must have accumulated many Supreme Immortal Artifacts, Supreme Immortal Devices! Therefore, I want three Supreme Immortal Devices and thirty Supreme Immortal Artifacts!"

"Haha, you're truly asking for a lion's share."

The Divine Spirit laughed faintly: "Ten Supreme Immortal Artifacts! If you're unwilling, then forget it. To be honest with you, we have contacted more than just your Feather Spirit Clan. Even if your Feather Spirit Clan doesn't agree, eventually, others will. In less than ten thousand years, the Heart of the Cosmic defense line will be completely breached. By then, the brilliance of the Divine Spirits and Ancient Gods will surely re-saturate this universe."

"Other races..."

Lingyi Immortal Venerable's pupils shrank.

He glanced at the Divine Spirit unwilling to yield further, then looked at the Feather Spirit Clan being persecuted by the Alien Demon Clan in the light projection.

In such a universe...

Perhaps it's time for a major reshuffle.

Thinking of this, the Immortal Venerable took a deep breath: "I agree."

"A wise choice. When the time comes, someone will find you."

The Divine Spirit left these words and vanished without a trace.

Lingyi Immortal Venerable watched him leave, standing quietly in place for a long time without speaking.

After a long while, he finally sighed: "Our Feather Spirit Clan only wishes to survive in peace; is that so difficult? If we could have a piece of land to live in peace, a guarantee for our lives, even if we three thousand Feather Spirit Immortals become the sharpest sword, the Feather Spirit Clan would gladly do so."

...

The events happening in the Black Abyss Realm, of course, were beyond the reach of someone at the level of Gu Jinlai.

At this moment, he had already traveled alone by Star Shuttle and reached the Taibai Star Domain.

Having prepared in advance, as soon as he arrived at the Taibai Star Domain, all relevant data about the Demigods was delivered to his hands.

Unlike the period in the Yanhuang Star Domain, this time, Gu Jinlai, using the excuse of "avoiding" Divine Spirits, asked the Qin family to specifically search for traces of the Divine Spirits.

There weren't many, just enough for two suspected Divine Spirits to be lurking in the Taibai Star Domain.

"Two suspected Divine Spirits detected, twelve suspected Demigods...though the numbers may not be accurate, with some luck, there could be additional gains."

Gu Jinlai piloted the Star Shuttle, even without meeting with the Qin Family, heading directly toward the nearest suspected Divine Spirit.

Time is of the essence.

"The Hunt begins."
