Chapter 803: Prey
"Is the operation of the Dragon Realm's formations truly as the data I provided to you suggests?"
At this moment, within the starship observed by Gu Jinlai, the leading Great Dao Golden Immortal was reporting the gathered information to a Profound Immortal.
"Yes, we mobilized twelve Dark Sons, two of which are highly significant, confirming the accuracy of the data provided by Your Majesty to be ninety-five percent."
"The data given by that Ancient God named Yuan Miao is actually true?"
The Divine King was surprised and asked, "Is there any other Immortal Golden Immortal hidden in this world?"
"No, the Dragon Realm belongs to a planet similar to a garden star, it doesn't hold much practical value, although many Golden Immortal-level cultivators like to establish businesses here. As a result, because Golden Immortal-level cultivators have established businesses, they must leave people to manage them, mostly Profound Immortals."
The Golden Immortal said with a slight smile, "A large number of mid-level cultivators have significantly enhanced the quality of life forms in this world, making it indeed the most suitable world for our expansion."
"The formation's operations have been confirmed, and there's no powerful Golden Immortal hidden. Moreover, I've contacted the God King Chiye. With the presence of both our Divine Kings, even if Yuan Miao has some deceitful schemes or an Immortal Golden Immortal is hiding on this star, we can retreat calmly."
The Divine King smiled and then asked, "Where is the God King Chiye now?"
"When I contacted him three days ago, he was already traversing space. According to his journey calculation, quickly today, or at the slowest in one or two days, he will definitely show up and join us."
The Golden Immortal promised.
"Good, then let's wait for him. By then, we will attack the Dragon Realm together to ensure it goes smoothly without fail."
The man, who appeared to be a Profound Immortal but was actually a Divine King, nodded.
"Your Majesty..."
At this time, the Golden Immortal seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "If we set aside the Ancient God named Yuan Miao and attack the Dragon Realm by ourselves, taking the Dragon Realm into our grasp, will it not cause his dissatisfaction?"
"Dissatisfied?"
The Divine King sneered, "So what if he's dissatisfied? I've already conquered the Dragon Realm, would he dare risk being cut off from the Ten Thousand Gods Realm to retaliate against me? Moreover, cooperating with an Ancient God who wants to decompose everything, I won't take that risk."
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "At worst, after conquering the Dragon Realm, I'll take away its life forms and resources, leaving the rest to him. He can drink the soup without doing anything; naturally, he won't have anything to say."
"High, truly high."
The Golden Immortal gave a thumbs up, "Not contacting that Ancient God yet smoothly taking the Dragon Realm, minimizing the risk, decisively withdrawing when necessary, leaving some interests to that Ancient God, so he can't utter a word of dissent. Such magnanimity, courage, and decision-making are truly brilliant."
"The core principle that allows us Divine Spirits to survive is to be cautious and never greedy. What's ours shouldn't be lesser, and what's not ours, we won't take more."
The Divine King, maintaining his Profound Immortal guise, smiled.
However, just as he intended to transfer some more of his experiences to this valuable subordinate, he suddenly sensed something.
The void changed.
His starship, traveling through the stars, suddenly fell into a void.
The unexpected transformation caused the Divine King to shout, "Beware! Enemy attack!"
Upon realizing he might be sealed into a special space by an Immortal Artifact, he made a prompt decision and summoned a Divine Body from his Storage Immortal Artifact.
This Divine Body resembled mechanical life, but without exception, was crafted with top-tier materials and matched various Great Daos to the utmost degree.
It was precisely the Divine Body of this Divine King.
Divine Kings forge Divine Countries with their Great Dao, yet they can still refine god-like Divine Bodies that master other Great Daos.
The Great Dao mastered by these Divine Bodies progress just as slowly as those of Golden Immortals, influenced by their own Great Dao.
But if a Divine Spirit possesses treasures like the Dual Life Stone or the Three-Life Stone, they can avoid core Great Dao interference and cultivate one or two additional Great Daos to a ninety percent or even ninety-nine percent matching degree.
By then, their Divine Body's combat power could rival those with Eleventh Rank Divine Sense...
No!
Since Divine Will has a greater advantage in attacks than Divine Sense Ability, they are akin to possessing the Twelfth Rank Divine Sense Ability of a Supreme Golden Immortal.
This Divine Body, forged by the Divine King before him, had refined a top-tier Three-Life Stone, achieving over ninety percent matching with the Flowing Light Path and Destruction Path.
He spent over one hundred thousand years crafting this Divine Body.
"Shoo!"
As the Divine King summoned this powerful Divine Body, Gu Jinlai had already traversed over.
However, when he sensed the Great Dao fluctuations emanating from Gu Jinlai, he was visibly stunned.
"A Golden Immortal!?"
A Golden Immortal!?
A mere Golden Immortal dared ambush him, a Divine King!?
Is there a conspiracy!?
Were other Immortal Golden Immortals hidden behind him!?
With such thoughts, the Divine King's Divine Will directly swept past Gu Jinlai, probing towards the space behind him, and even further.
Obviously, he didn't believe that just a mere Golden Immortal dared to attack him, a Divine King.
And just as his Divine Will passed through Gu Jinlai's body probing backward, the Great Dao of Space, Destruction Dao, and Devouring Dao on Gu Jinlai, which all had a matching degree of over ninety percent, were fully activated under the guidance of the Void Flow, Silence Returns to Destruction, and Lonely Night—three Immortal Artifacts. Propelled by the Twelfth-Rank Divine Sense, they transformed into a terrifying force that collapsed the void, fiercely striking his Divine Body.
"Particle Sword Intent!?"
The Divine King sensed the destructive power erupting from Gu Jinlai's body and belatedly let out a furious roar. His formidable Divine Will quickly rebounded and fiercely slammed into Gu Jinlai's spiritual world.
Accompanied by the dazzling brilliance of the Fantian Ring.
The Divine Will at the Divine King level was directly weakened by more than half, and the remainder collided with his Twelfth Rank Divine Sense Ability, merely causing a faint ripple in his spiritual world.
The next moment, the Particle Sword Intent unhesitatingly struck the meticulously crafted Divine Body he had spent ten thousand years creating.
Darkness, void, all transformed into nothingness through destruction.
Even though the Divine King was adorned with a Supreme Defense Immortal Artifact, under the emphasis of three Immortal Artifacts and the Particle Sword Intent boosted by Twelfth Rank Divine Sense Ability, it was shattered without a trace.
The Divine Body was instantly blasted into nothingness.
Also reduced to nothingness were this starship and even the Great Dao Golden Immortal, who was merely considered reputable aboard it.
"Four Immortal Artifacts!? Twelfth Rank Spiritual Realm!?"
As the Divine Body shattered, the Divine King let out a shocked and angry shout: "This is impossible! You're definitely not a Golden Immortal!?"
"Nonsense."
Gu Jinlai replied.
Seizing the moment of the Divine King's Divine Body's shattering, his Divine Will forcibly dispersed, he promptly cast in his Void Projection Technique.
The Spiritual Light infused with the Power of Green Lotus flickered and quickly enveloped the Divine King's Divine Will.
Wherever the light touched, the mighty Divine Will seemed to dissolve like it was dropped in strong acid.
This change finally made the Divine King realize the gravity of the situation: "This is the Evil God Power... Evil God!? You're Yuan Miao!?"
"I hate people betraying me the most. Do you know how much effort I put into searching for the military setup of Longxiang Realm? Do you know how much energy I spent clarifying the operations of Longxiang Realm's formation? You don't know. You don't know anything, yet you use the information I gave you to try to bypass me and seize Longxiang Realm for yourselves! You think I'm young and want to bully me!?"
The Divine Sense that dissolved everything seemed to carry the rage of an ancient god: "Those who betray me will ultimately pay the price, and the price is your lives!"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Your Majesty Yuan Miao, it's a misunderstanding. I just came early to scout... We're friends..."
The Divine King shouted fearfully.
"I may live less, but I still have the ability to distinguish between friend and foe. The reason I've managed to survive in harsh environments all these years is that I always adhere to a principle: if they're an enemy, I must find a way to eliminate them, not listen to any of their nonsense, not give them any chance to live."
Gu Jinlai maintained his single-minded character, pushing his Divine Sense Ability to its maximum, showing no intention of relenting.
Divine Calamity differs from Divine Spirit and Evil God.
Even when a Divine Calamity evolves into an Evil God, it often takes tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of years, but Divine Calamity...
Their lifespan is often measured from the day they broke free from the Evil God and awoke their self-awareness.
Many Divine Calamities are "young" to an incredible extent.
Like the Divine Calamity Yuan Mou of that time, he had only awakened three decades ago, with incomplete worldviews.
A few incendiary words from others could completely infuriate them, leading to a relentless vendetta.
Thus, Gu Jinlai's current behavior did not cause any suspicion from the Divine King, who felt bitterly regretful for having offended such a madman.
While begging for mercy, he also sought a way to escape the area.
But facing this infinite world, he couldn't find a way out in a short time.
"Immortal Artifact!? How can a Divine Calamity use an Immortal Artifact!?"
The Divine King was both anxious and confused.
Divine Spirits can be said to exist between Golden Immortals and Evil Gods, but Evil Gods...
Have completely embarked on another path.
They cannot even emulate Divine Spirits to forge Divine Bodies and control the Great Dao through them.
All their essence converts into the Power of Decomposition, with which they sweep through everything.
Decomposing matter, decomposing energy, decomposing divine sense, decomposing great dao...
It is not just activating Immortal Artifacts; it's estimated that when Immortal Artifacts come into contact with them, they'll be directly decomposed.
This so-called Yuan Miao Divine Calamity can use Immortal Artifacts...
"What exactly are you!?"
The Divine King shouted unwillingly.
Gu Jinlai didn't respond.
This footage, he would edit out, so wasn't bothered to waste words like before.
The footage he needed...
From when he contacted the Divine King to jointly plan attacking Longxiang Realm, to warning them not to act independently, and lastly, the fury of betrayal leading to the fierce slaying of the Divine King...
The whole process was arranged clearly.
