Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 680 - 639 Round 1

Great Sun Brilliance!

Gu Jinlai crushed Master Xuanling’s Immortal Body and denied him any chance to reconstitute it.

The Great Sun Core within his body operated at full capacity, a relentless stream of blazing energy output under the constraints of the electromagnetic field, creating a real great sun in the void.

An endless array of light and brilliance radiated from within the Great Sun.

A hydrogen bomb, when detonated, can release millions, even up to a billion degrees of high temperatures in an instant.

Yet such an energy burst only lasts for a moment before it rapidly decreases.

But at this moment, the radiant Great Sun that Gu Jinlai was maintaining was undergoing nuclear fusion almost constantly, as if keeping a hydrogen bomb exploding continuously.

This kind of energy output was manifold greater than that of a single exploding hydrogen bomb.

Facing such a reckless squandering of energy, Master Xuanling, burnt by the Great Sun, his eyes red with madness, was filled with deep resentment.

He envied Gu Jinlai, envied the people of the Longevity World who could waste energy so carelessly.

Resentful that he was just one step away from success, yet he fell outside the Immortal Country Cave Heaven.

If he had hundreds, or even just a hundred Spirit Crystals in his possession, he could withstand the energy bombardment from Gu Jinlai, cross the tens of thousands of miles between the Two Realms Passage and the Cave Heaven of the Immortal Country, and enter the Cave Heaven.

But unfortunately...

He did not have any!

He had significantly exhausted his resources nurturing the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao.

With all the effort of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, the assembled Spirit Crystals did not exceed fifty, and only thirty were allocated to him!

To fail due to the insufficiency of Spirit Crystals, unable to activate the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao, how could he be willing?

"Gu Jinlai, I am not convinced..."

The Immortal Body of Master Xuanling struggled continuously, as if trying to reconstitute itself.

However, under the burning of the radiant Great Sun, every part of his shattered Immortal Body was incinerated to ashes by the fierce and violent power. Despite his unwillingness and resentment, in less than a breath, his Immortal Body was thoroughly reduced to nothingness.

"Your lack of satisfaction and resentment are of no importance."

Gu Jinlai uttered.

Meanwhile, as Gu Jinlai was killing Master Xuanling, Zhao Xi, who was in the Super Cave Heaven desperately controlling the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao, suddenly sensed that the struggle of the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao had ceased.

It was as if it had fallen into a state of confusion, losing its purpose.

"Gu Jinlai, he..."

Zhao Xi instantly realized something, and couldn’t help but fiercely wave his fist!

So excited that he acted like a mere mortal, dancing and extremely agitated.

"Good! Good! Good! It’s truly great!"

The Emperor Immortal Lord couldn’t help but call out three times in good spirits.

While elated, the movements of his hands did not slow down, as his powerful Divine Sense swiftly permeated the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao. In an extremely brief period, he had completely refined this Heavenly Dao.

The entire process went smoothly without any obstacles.

Simultaneously, he rapidly split a strand of Divine Sense, forming an incarnation that sped towards the battlefield at the edge of the sky, which seemed like a fallen Great Sun.

It wasn’t long before he had crossed three to four thousand miles and appeared on the still immensely hot void battlefield.

He looked at Gu Jinlai, who was still channeling the Spirit Mechanism, maintaining a flow of azure light, and couldn’t suppress the overwhelming joy in his eyes: "Did we win?"

"We won."

Gu Jinlai smiled and responded, gesturing towards the azure light: "This is the return for your trust."

"Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao!"

Znow that the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao of the Super Cave Heaven was refined, he could recognize this without discernment; it was evidently the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao left by Master Xuanling after his fall.

"Did you really directly kill Master Xuanling!?"

Even though the reality was right before his eyes, Zhao Xi couldn’t help but exclaim and inquire.

"When a Daoist Master leaves his own Cave Heaven, his essence... already becomes a Supreme True Immortal capable of employing the Power of Heavenly Dao temporarily. That being so, I can kill him indeed,"

Gu Jinlai said, halting the use of the Spirit Mechanism to maintain the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao: "Bring this Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao to the Cave Heaven as soon as possible. When the two Transforming Spirit Heavenly Daos merge into one, yours will definitely achieve Perfection."

"It can directly nurture a Perfect Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao."

Zhao Xi looked at the azure cloud cluster and sincerely said: "This is your spoils of war... Even the victory in this battle is entirely due to your efforts..."

"What suits best is always the best. The Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao clearly suits you, and with your power, the Longevity World will indeed be even more secure and stable."

Gu Jinlai said: "If you really feel embarrassed, in the future, when I need to nurture my own Heavenly Dao, just provide me with enough Spirit Crystals to help."

"Of course, you may freely use all the resources of the Immortal Country."

Zhao Xi responded with an almost promissory tone.

"You are already doing it."

Gu Jinlai smiled and said, then turned toward the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao: "A Perfect Heavenly Dao can be integrated into the body, marking the battle strength of an Immortal Master. Your own Spiritual Realm has reached the Sixth Layer Heaven... In the future, you may even have a glimpse of the Profound Immortal Realm."

Upon saying this, he seemed to think of something and suddenly added: "Once you achieve the status of Immortal Master, relying on the vast stretches of your Cave Heaven, you might not be inferior in defensive battles compared to a Profound Immortal." freēnovelkiss.com

Profound Immortal refers to those kinds of immortals who can encompass Heavenly Dao and Cave Heaven within themselves, forming a new life entity.

Some newly advanced Profound Immortals are not necessarily very powerful; if they do not rely on the speed advantage to block the channels through which an Immortal Master can obtain Spirit Mechanism, an Immortal Master backed by a Cave Heaven can fight them head-on.

It’s merely because their Spiritual Realm is not enough, and their control and application of their own power are slightly inferior to that of a Profound Immortal.

With Zhao Xi possessing a Cave Heaven that extends for thousands of miles, even if he is slightly less skilled at power control, by relying on the advantage of scale, he could wear that Profound Immortal down to death.

With Changsheng World possessing the Spirit Realm, blocking a Spirit Mechanism was much more difficult than in the Profound Immortal Realm. Even if a Profound Immortal truly arrived, Zhao Xi would not fear in the least.

"A long defense inevitably leads to loss. Relying on a Cave Heaven that stretches thousands of miles, I indeed have an advantage in defense, but if a Profound Immortal attacks from all sides, I am helpless, at best able to protect only 20,000 miles around the Cave Heaven, beyond that..."

Zhao Xi smiled wryly, "Success lies in the Cave Heaven, as does failure. This Cave Heaven, while granting me a solid foundation, also restricts my possibility of advancing to the Profound Immortal stage."

"As your Spiritual Realm improves, there will come a day when you can fully refine the Cave Heaven and incorporate it into your body."

Gu Jinlai declared.

"I’ll take your auspicious words."

Zhao Xi spoke and without further refusal, he began to draw upon the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao: "I am off to refine this Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao, I leave the battlefield at the Two Realms Passage in your hands."

Gu Jinlai nodded and with a step into the void, he headed towards the direction of the Two Realms Passage.

...

At this moment, at the battlefield of the Two Realms Passage, the fight fell into a stalemate.

Specifically speaking, the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect held the upper hand.

However, the side of the Immortal Country, backed by a Cave Heaven and freely unleashing various Great Divine Powers, also deterred the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect from acting rashly.

As time passed, however, the True Immortals of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect gradually changed their mode of combat, from initially using cost-effective Divine Skills to now utilizing immensely powerful ones, the situation was bound to deteriorate further.

After all, compared to the Immortal Country, the True Immortals and Void Immortals of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect held a significant advantage.

But this state of affairs only lasted for a moment, as Taibai Heavenly Immortal, wielding a Giant Sword and slashing towards the West Heavenly Spirit Jade Immortal Master, suddenly felt something and took out a Jade Token.

Just at that moment, the Jade Token directly shattered.

"Impossible! Impossible! How could Master Xuanling have fallen!?"

Taibai Heavenly Immortal stared intently at the Jade Token, his eyes reddening, "The core of the Heavenly Dao nurtured by Zhao Xi is the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao separated from Venerable Daoist Xuanling, equivalent to a seed of the Venerable Daoist Xuanling’s Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao. Relying on this seed, once Venerable Daoist Xuanling with the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao approaches, the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao in that Cave Heaven will be directly awakened, controlling that Super Cave Heaven to welcome the arrival of Venerable Daoist Xuanling. Holding such a Super Cave Heaven, even a Profound Immortal could not break through, let alone a mere Immortal Country, how could he be killed!?"

His emotions surged wildly, seemingly unable to accept the reality before him.

Meanwhile, Immortal Lingyu quickly realized and promptly encouraged, "Everyone, Immortal Master Zhao Xi has achieved victory in another battlefield, Master Xuanling has been defeated, reinforcements will arrive shortly, hold on, victory belongs to our Immortal Country!"

The beleaguered True Immortals of the Immortal Country heard this and were also inspired to fight, and the tide of the battle seemed to be turning in their favor.

"Taibai Heavenly Immortal!?"

Immortal Su Yuan also noticed the abnormality in Taibai Heavenly Immortal and immediately turned his gaze towards him.

But Taibai Heavenly Immortal did not respond.

Despite his heart being filled with reluctance and disbelief, this Jade Token was specially refined before the battle to sense the death of elders and Supreme Elders.

The shattered Jade Token representing Master Xuanling...

Whether they believed it or not, the reality seemed to lay before their eyes.

"We’ve been planning for decades, how could we possibly fail so easily!"

Taibai Heavenly Immortal, full of unwillingness, took out a Dao Artifact for messaging, intending to send a message to Master Xuanling.

But the result...

Was like a clay ox entering the sea, with no response at all.

This scene finally pushed Taibai Heavenly Immortal into some despair.

Seeing Immortal Lingyu’s group resisting increasingly fiercely, and the reinforcements from the Immortal Country possibly arriving at any moment...

Right then, he swung his hand decisively: "Retreat! Retreat!"

"Retreat!?"

Immortal Su Yuan’s eyes widened in shock: "Could it be that Venerable Daoist Xuanling..."

"We’ve lost this round!"

Taibai Heavenly Immortal’s expression was somewhat desolate.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this moment, at the edge of the sky, a massive oppressive force seemed to sweep over, the terrifying pressure arriving ahead of the person.

"This pressure... Daoist Master!? Zhao Xi is coming!?"

At this moment, Taibai Heavenly Immortal dared not take any chances, shaking with Divine Sense, "Go! Let’s retreat to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect first, we’ve lost this round, but as long as we aren’t set on immediately overtaking Changsheng World, if we plan it slowly, completely open the Star Gates in other areas, steadily consolidate, and advance step by step, victory will eventually belong to our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect!"

With those words, he rushed towards the direction of the Two Realms Passage first.

"Supreme Elder!"

Immortal Su Yuan and other True Immortals were filled with frustration.

Their gaze towards the direction of the Immortal Country was filled with hatred and fury.

It was so close!

Just a bit more, and they, the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, could have taken over the Immortal Country and used it as a base to spread throughout Changsheng World!

But now...

To mobilize such a massive force, to have spent so much manpower and material resources, and to end by retreating!?

And Venerable Daoist Xuanling appeared...

to be missing, presumed dead!?

How could these elders be content?

But no matter how discontent they were, facing the rapidly approaching Zhao Xi, as well as the equally powerful Immortal Lingyu, these elders understood that the situation was beyond redemption.

Immortal Su Yuan turned sharply, "Go!"
