Chapter 814: One of Us
The Divine King was extremely tense when he spoke these words.
At this moment, he was full of regret.
If he had known this Golden Immortal disguised as a human was so powerful, he wouldn't have dared to provoke him even with a hundredfold courage.
He loved disguising himself as a member of the Human Clan and wandering in their lands; why meddle in the affairs of the Divine Race?
Wouldn't it have been better to spend some effort capturing Yan Lie's Star Spirit to complete the task entrusted by Yuan Xiu?
Why did they change targets, their minds rusted?
Just because he was more exceptional than Yan Lie?
Being more exceptional inherently means being stronger.
This strength is not just superficial but might hide deep beneath like an iceberg under water.
But now...
It's too late to say anything.
He now only hopes that this Golden Immortal disguised as a human, as he appears, is just frighteningly high in Spiritual Realm but still limited to Golden Immortal cultivation and can be intimidated by the Divine Calamity Cultivator.
...
"An Immortal Golden Immortal nearly reaching Thousand Epoch Cultivation..."
Gu Jinlai understood what it meant by being strong outside but weak inside when he heard these words from the Divine King.
There is a lot of obscure talk in the Cultivation World.
People wouldn't usually mention the "Vice" in a title when referring to someone like the Vice Mansion Master Qi Yunsheng of the Honorable Daoist Mansion; they would often call him Pavilion Master directly.
Some people claim they earn less than ten million Spirit Crystals per Epoch, but in reality, they might only have three or four hundred.
The so-called nearly Thousand Epoch Cultivation mentioned by this Divine King...
Would be considered generous of him if it even reached five or six hundred Epochs.
Therefore...
"That Divine Calamity you mentioned, if he doesn't come, that's fine; if he dares to come, I won't show mercy. Now, let me send you on your way."
As Gu Jinlai finished his words, the Thirteenth-Rank Divine Sense activated the Space Avenue, Destruction Dao, and Devouring Dao.
With a majestic force descending like Mount Tai, the Divine King at the forefront felt as if the world suddenly collapsed; space, energy, and matter all plunged into destruction.
"Particle Sword Intent!?"
The Divine King let out a desperate cry.
The Particle Sword Intent unleashed by the Thirteenth-Rank Divine Sense...
His Divine Body, with Supreme Golden Immortal battle power, charged forward, wielding the might of an Immortal Artifact like a Divine Lightning, slamming fiercely into the apex of the Particle Sword Intent.
At the moment of collision, the Particle Sword Intent dispersed.
But in contrast, his Divine Body shattered.
Being as strong as a Supreme Golden Immortal, and even possessing an Immortal Artifact, his battle power was not inferior to a newly reached Immortal, yet he could only withstand one hit from the Particle Sword Intent.
And with the rapid turning of the Thirteenth-Rank Divine Sense, the second Particle Sword Intent almost immediately came down.
"Ah!"
The Divine King howled to the sky, his Divine Will seemingly burning, fully manifesting his Divine Country in an attempt to resist using its power.
But no matter how vast the power of his Divine Will in the Divine Country was, it was still useless under the Particle Sword Intent.
It was like a meteor crashing into a continent...
No!
It should be said that it was like a planet!
The "atmosphere" formed by those Divine Wills could not stop even a fraction of the power contained in this "planet"!
It's like piercing a thin membrane with a Supreme Divine Weapon.
The "planet" passed through the "atmosphere" and directly crashed into the Divine Country as if hitting the surface of a continent.
For a moment, the entire Divine Country shook violently. Destructive energy surged like an unprecedented torrent, annihilating everything within the Divine Country.
Tens of thousands of Holy Spirits vanished into ash on the spot.
The power of the Particle Sword Intent not only pierced through the Divine King's Divine Country, but the Devouring Dao, like a shock wave, quickly expanded the broken opening, tearing it apart...
With just one sword, the collapse of the Divine King's Divine Country was already imminent.
"You are not of the Human Clan, why fight for the Human Clan!?"
The Divine King shouted in terror: "Whatever the Human Clan gave you, our Divine Race is willing to offer double!"
"Sorry, I am the Human Clan."
As Gu Jinlai said this, he struck down another Particle Sword Intent.
Where the Sword Blade pointed, the space shattered like a mirror hit by a massive hammer. Upon shattering, the Destruction Dao and Devouring Dao rampaged, maximizing the destructive effect.
Meanwhile, his Divine Sense power subtly changed, stained with the radiance of Qing Lian,
In the presence of Divine Sense power dyed by Qingguang, the shattered interior of the Divine King's Divine Country — buildings, wonders, Holy Spirits, treasures — everything was dissolved and decomposed.
This scene filled the Divine King's heart with endless frustration: "Evil God! Evil God! This is the power of an Evil God! And you claim to be the Human Clan!"
The other one beside trembled uncontrollably as he witnessed it: "Our Divine Spirits have already formed an alliance with the Evil God. We are allies now and should be standing together against the Immortal Golden Immortals of the Six Great Races. Why kill one another? For such a small conflict? It's not worth it, truly not."
"I told you, I am the Human Clan."
As Gu Jinlai spoke, he unleashed yet another Particle Sword Intent.
At this moment, the God Country of the Divine King could no longer withstand and collapsed with a bang.
Without the shelter of the God Country, the Holy Spirits inside fell like wheat being harvested in front of his Divine Sense Ability.
...
While Gu Jinlai was slaughtering these Divine Spirits, Yan Lie was also doing his utmost to stay away from the battlefield, constantly keeping in touch with Yan Chi, Yan Bai, and others.
However, when the Immortal Golden Immortals of the Star Spirit Yan Clan, Yan Chi and Yan Bai, learned that Yan Lie had escaped by throwing the blame on Gu Jinlai as he came to the battlefield, their expressions clearly changed.
But he quickly said, "You did very well. Let's not say it's just a Human Clan's Golden Immortal. Even if it's a Golden Immortal of other species of the Star Spirit, you should first ensure your own safety when in danger, your future will surely achieve Immortal Golden Immortal. A future Immortal Golden Immortal is much heavier than a Golden Immortal. For our Star Spirit Yan Clan, or even the entire Star Spirit Clan, the weight is incomparable."
As for whether Gu Jinlai also belongs to the Human Clan genius?
That's not something they consider.
My fellow Taoist dies, I survive.
"But you must remember this matter, absolutely do not admit it was because of you that those Divine Spirits pursued the Human Clan's Golden Immortal, it was all those Divine Spirits' own choices, understand?"
Yan Chi carefully instructed.
"Understood, but… that Human Clan's Golden Immortal might have evidence…"
Yan Lie showed some hesitation in his eyes.
"What about evidence? That Human Clan's Golden Immortal is surrounded by ten Divine Spirits and must die. We'll simply ensure he dies without leaving any evidence."
One side, Yan Bai said.
"That Human Clan's Golden Immortal may not be unable to kill ten Divine Spirits, after all, according to the Human Clan's sayings, he once killed a Divine King level Divine Spirit, to be safe…"
Yan Chi's eyes flashed with fierceness: "It's best to kill him directly to ensure nothing can go wrong."
"That might be difficult, I think, let's simply have Yan Lie return directly to the Star Spirit Clan to close-door cultivation and strive for Immortal Golden Immortal achievement. If the Human Clan's Taoist Venerable Mansion questions us, we'll say we know nothing, after a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, when Yan Lie reaches Immortal Golden Immortal, who can clearly articulate past events after so long? Even if the Human Clan's Taoist Venerable Mansion holds evidence, we can deny it and say the evidence was fabricated, by then they can only swallow it silently."
Yan Bai followed up.
Yan Chi nodded.
This kind of tangling approach is somewhat unruly but quite effective.
Especially when involving two species, and one side returns to their own clan.
"Alright, Yan Lie, you must return as quickly as possible, don't go in the direction of the Realm Gate watched by the Taoist Venerable Mansion, go out from other Realm Gates, I'll help you arrange the connections."
Yan Chi said.
This Star Prison spans tens of thousands of light years, though not a large Star Prison, but it indeed has more than one exit.
As long as one avoids direct conflict with the Taoist Venerable Mansion, there's great room for operation.
"Another Realm Gate? The distance between this Realm Gate and the Taoist Venerable Mansion's Realm Gate is six years of travel…"
Yan Lie showed some hesitation.
"Six years, that's all."
Yan Chi said, seeming to realize something: "You're worried there are other Divine Spirits in the Star Prison?"
He frowned: "Originally, a Star Prison with only one Divine Spirit now has eleven Divine Spirits, which is outrageous enough. If dozens more, hundreds more Divine Spirits appear, the Human Clan wouldn't make such a big mistake, right?"
"To be safe, I'll make a trip and escort Yan Lie, you go entangle the Taoist Venerable Mansion, don't let them react too quickly."
Yan Bai said.
Yan Chi nodded, this is indeed the best plan.
Immediately, these Star Spirits quickly sprang into action.
In just two days, Yan Bai had already met up with Yan Lie and headed in a different direction.
However, they flew for less than ten days and were intercepted by a team of Divine Spirits, numbering more than thirty.
...
On the other side.
Gu Jinlai gathered the Endless World.
At this time, the Divine Spirits in the Endless World had all perished, leaving behind a land of Immortal Artifacts.
Including one Immortal Immortal Artifact.
He glanced at it, nodded satisfactorily, then quickly strode towards the Divine Spirit he had deliberately let go earlier.
In just a few days, he had already caught up with this Divine Spirit.
However, this Divine Spirit appeared extremely cautious, wandering around in the starry sky, seemingly not in a hurry to return to his base camp.
Seeing this, Gu Jinlai frowned.
This won't do.
He's still waiting for this Divine Spirit to lead him to their lair.
Thinking, he'd already thought of something; activating the Formless Pearl, appearance, aura, slightly altered.
This Immortal Immortal Artifact, aside from concealing and interfering, also simulates effects. Moreover, when boosted by Gu Jinlai's Thirteenth Rank Divine Sense Ability, unless the Divine Emperor personally comes, no one can see through his real identity.
After completing the disguise, Gu Jinlai directly appeared and caught up with that Divine Spirit.
"True God, please stay, one of our own."
Gu Jinlai said, taking out the Divine Origin Plate representing identity.
Seeing the Divine Origin Plate in Gu Jinlai's hand, this alert Divine Spirit slightly relaxed while showing some doubt: "You are?"
"I've come to deliver materials to you, come on, let's chat while we walk…"
Gu Jinlai approached enthusiastically.
