Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 560 - 556
Chapter 560: 556
"Terrifying,"
This indiscriminate method of slaughter, let alone the other survivors of the Mountain Sword Sect, even Gu Jinlai felt a chill in his heart.
The Ruins Beast swept through the Mountain Sword Sect and was quickly controlled by Gu Jinlai, floating again in the void.
He glanced at the gate of the Mountain Sword Sect and... it seemed...
Those core high-ranking members with heavy karma on their bodies had been eradicated in the wake of the Ruins Beast’s sweep.
Immediately, he reached out and captured the storage treasures of Bai Yuxin and Bai Muling, two Void Immortals, as well as the Dao Artifacts of six Saints.
"Bai Ze Palace..."
Gu Jinlai pondered for a moment, "This power includes not only these Void Immortals and Saints, but also Heavenly Dragon Wood and Artifact Spirit Purple Sun. Now that Bai Yuxin and others are dead, I wonder if they have a way to sense this."
If they could sense it...
They would have simply fled.
If, consumed by anger and despair, they initiated a massive slaughter in the Qiantian area...
He could not afford such a heavy loss.
The best method was to rush back to Qiantian before the Heavenly Dragon Wood and Artifact Spirit Purple Sun realized what had happened and resolve this hidden danger.
With this thought, he did not carry out complete annihilation on the remaining disciples of the Mountain Sword Sect.
Instead, he headed straight for Jiaoyang City with the Ruins Beast.
Jiaoyang City was still under the control of Liu Feiyun and others at this moment.
However, they had already received the news that Gu Jinlai had survived the crisis and were currently just maintaining the order in Jiaoyang City without taking any further action.
Still, when they felt that familiar tremor arise, they immediately rushed into the skies.
Also appearing with them was Su Xin, the Supreme Void Immortal from Taixu Cave Heaven, who stayed in Jiaoyang City waiting for the next instructions.
As they all rushed to the skies, everyone’s gaze was instantly attracted to the terrifying figure with a hint of science fiction.
Deep blue flames blazed within three slowly rotating metal rings, surrounded by ninety-nine Giant Swords swimming around.
An indescribable oppression emanated continuously from this giant, hollow, special life form, causing every cultivator who witnessed this scene to have their breath catch in their throat.
"What... What is this!?"
The Devas and Saints of Jiaoyang City, unaware of the details, were filled with boundless panic.
"It has been refined so quickly..."
Su Xin’s heart trembled as well as she silently muttered to herself.
However, Liu Feiyun, Qi Sheng, Su Yu, and others, while feeling a lingering palpitation in their hearts at the sight of that terrifying creature, felt a sense of relaxation upon recognizing Gu Jinlai in the center of the metal rings, clearly controlling the terrifying creature.
Their gazes towards Gu Jinlai turned more respectful and admiring.
And they were joyful that he could subdue such a powerful life form.
"Supreme Elder..."
Liu Feiyun soared into the air, greeting Gu Jinlai respectfully. "I knew, you could definitely turn peril into safety, undefeated in battle."
"This big trouble is now resolved, but there are still some minor troubles I need to take care of over there,"
Gu Jinlai looked at her and instructed, "Proceed as originally planned, you, along with Qi Sheng, Su Yu, and Ji Lie, hold Liuhuo City and Wind and Rain City, and let Zhuo Chunqiu and Chao Jiuyin take the Blue Sky Warship to the location I’ve previously mentioned to you."
He paused, then added, "Bring the necessary materials."
"Yes."
Liu Feiyun solemnly affirmed.
"I will go ahead first."
Gu Jinlai said, then turned to Su Xin, "For the Devil clan, all three Great Demon Gods have perished. Although there might still be one or two Demon Gods hiding, considering your power, you should be capable of handling it. Thus, the counterattack against the Devils will rely on you Sect Leaders."
"The Ancient True Immortal has eradicated three Great Demon Gods of the Devil clan. If we still can’t resolve the remaining Devils, how could we face the Ancient True Immortal? Rest assured, the Ancient True Immortal can proceed with your tasks; we will not disappoint you,"
Su Xin replied politely.
It was the demeanor typical of an ordinary Void Immortal when facing a True Immortal.
Yes!
Ordinary Void Immortal.
Although each of them possessed combat power comparable to that of True Immortals, in the face of that horrific Ruins Beast, which could make one’s soul tremble just by looking at it, their power was no different from that of an ordinary Void Immortal facing a True Immortal.
"Then, I hope that when I return, I can hear the news that the surroundings of the Holy Dynasty have been completely restored,"
Gu Jinlai declared.
Speed is of the essence in warfare.
Several months ago, Gu Jinlai was already preparing to return to Qiantian.
The reason he had delayed so long was to expedite the purging of the Outer Ring Thirty-Six Cities and obtain Qingguang from within those thirty-six cities.
Now...
If he continued to stay, not only the Outer Ring Thirty-Six Cities but even the Inner Ring Twelve Cities and the Imperial Capital with a population of two billion, he could purge them all, and the Six Great Cave Heavens would try their best to cooperate.
But...
He had to put aside the matters here and urgently resolve the crisis facing Qiantian Lingxiao Palace.
Otherwise, once the news of the complete elimination of the upper echelons of Bai Ze Palace traveled back, with the capacity of Lingxiao Palace, it would inevitably be turned into ash under the wrathful fire of Heavenly Dragon Wood, akin to the Strongest Void Immortal.
With this thought in mind, Gu Jinlai once again instructed Liu Feiyun and the others on precautions, then soaring into the sky alone, he headed straight for the Qiantian World remembered by the Aries Star Lord.
...
True Immortal Palace.
Since over four months ago, when it had aggressively occupied Green State Province, Cheng Province, Sun State, and other provinces, the previously flourishing True Immortal Palace suddenly became compliant and ceased any outward expansion.
At this time, at the summit of Canglang Peak, north of Tianhe.
There, Venerable Xuan Tian, known as the first master of Qiantian, whose combat power had been acknowledged by all, was seated at the peak of the mountain, observing the ceaseless flow of the Tianhe River while flipping through a volume.
This volume...
Was notably the Creator’s Inheritance – Balance Holy Scripture.
In addition to this inheritance from Libra Star Lord, several other books were placed beside his left hand.
Such as like other Creator’s Inheritances, the Book of Nature, the Book of Undead, the Star Cloud Strategy, and so forth.
Since the birth of the first Creator said to be the Creator Star Lord three thousand years ago, an era belonging to the Heavenly Master Civilization had opened in the Longevity World.
Over the years, from initially barely seeing a Creator born in decades, to later centuries where several, even tens of Creators emerged continuously, the accumulated number of Creators reached hundreds or thousands.
And at the peak of the Heavenly Master Civilization a thousand years ago, the number of Creators during the same period nearly reached three digits.
Holy Land, Netherworld, Gods Mountain, Sea God Temple...
Each power possessed more than one or two Creators.
Beyond these top powers, many Creators formed sects and developed independently.
Thus, after the collapse of the Heavenly Master Civilization, any cultivator reaching a certain level would not have to worry about not finding a Creator’s inheritance.
And a thousand years ago, talking about the most famous Creator, it undeniably belonged to the Twelve Star Masters of the Holy Land.
These twelve Creators each had their own specialties. freewёbnoνel.com
Like Aries Star Lord, who excelled in refining Dao Artifacts, Divine Weapons, and widely opened his doors to teach countless Heavenly Monarchs.
Libra Star Lord, on the other hand, was known as the most rational, most wise Creator.
Furthermore, Pisces Star Lord, benevolent and compassionate, and skilled in cultivating Plant Spirits, even created a Life Species through his ability and the Whirling Tree.
Similar to Pisces Star Lord was Aquarius Star Lord, proficient in the pairing of plant and life spirits of the world, concocting countless elixirs, among which the most famous was the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill, a single one of which could create a Hugging Pill Master, directly completing the accumulation of years or decades in the "cultivator" stage for a Heavenly Master.
During this time, Venerable Xuan Tian had already memorized the characteristics of each Creator.
After his constant discerning, he finally set his sights on Libra Star Lord.
"The most rational, most wise Creator."
Venerable Xuan Tian muttered to himself, "There was a rumor once in the Holy Land claiming that if there were any Creator most likely to break free from the fate of losing oneself in the Spirit Realm, overwhelmed by the influx of information from the Spirit Realm, then it must be Libra Star Lord."
He held the Sky Extreme Sword in his hand.
Recalling his own journey similar to that of the Sky Extreme Sword Master, ultimately heading toward the idea of unifying Qiantian.
Chaos, order.
Loss of control, rationality.
"Does it relate to you?"
While holding the Balance Holy Scripture, Venerable Xuan Tian whispered softly.
After a while, he set down the volume of Creator’s Inheritance.
"It cannot be denied, these have truly crossed my mind, have they not?"
Venerable Xuan Tian seemed to be speaking to himself, yet it appeared he was conversing with another life form, "However, compared to other species, the greatest advantage of humans lies in their ability to control their own emotions, leading their feelings, and thereby self-regulating at the spiritual level..."
He took out another volume once again.
This was a collection from True Immortal Palace.
Dual Life Scripture.
The inheritance of the Twin Star Lord.
The Twin Star Lord, feeling that the life of Creators was too fleeting, aimed to cultivate both cultivator and Creator systems simultaneously, and ultimately...
Succeeded, yet also failed.
He succeeded because he indeed mastered both the Heavenly Master and cultivator systems.
But he failed...
Because he eventually developed a split personality.
Moreover, the two split personalities each believed they were the primary personality.
Without waiting for the tsunami-like disaster in the Spirit Realm to erupt, this Twin Star Lord had already advanced toward self-destruction.
"Ever since I was no longer fettered by cultivation resources, it took three years to become Devas, one year to become a Saint; with this pace, in another three years, I could become a Void Immortal, and in at most five years, I could catch up with the former Emperor Tianji... and this, should already be the pinnacle that Sky Extreme Sword can reach, but to truly become unrivaled in the world in such a short time is too uninteresting."
Venerable Xuan Tian shifted his gaze towards the Dual Life Scripture, "So, let me try something challenging."
Saying so, his tone paused slightly, the image of Qiantian’s number one of the previous generation, who to this day seemed to turn into his own heart demon, once again emerged in his mind.
"Let me also see, what the world looks like through the eyes of a Heavenly Master."
