"Earth Heaven Dao!? Oh no!"
Yan Wuwen growled lowly, his body’s energy erupting continuously, attempting to keep his collapsing immortal body from caving in. Simultaneously, he deployed a Supreme Taoist Device in the form of a ring, spinning rapidly, seemingly trying to clear the surrounding alien powers.
However, as Gu Jinlai clenched his fist, the swiftly spinning ring was suddenly covered in cracks.
In less than a breath, the Supreme Taoist Device was filled with cracks inside and out. After breaking a critical point, it shattered into countless pieces, ready to explode outward.
However, due to a terrifying gravitational field present, the debris from the Supreme Taoist Device had no chance to scatter and was re-compressed, condensing and plastered tightly on Yan Wuwen’s immortal body.
It seemed that the next to collapse and shatter would be his enormous immortal body, spanning over 270 meters.
"Star Sword Unrivaled!"
At that moment, a man and a woman, both Top True Immortals, united their swords. Like a streak of red and a streak of purple light, with the might of Taoist Divine Swords, they fiercely stabbed at Gu Jinlai from behind.
Accompanied by their combined Divine Thoughts, dazzling and brilliant sword light flashed to its limits.
Almost concurrently as their unified swords pierced Gu Jinlai’s body, it seemed as if some invisible barrier was activated around him.
Through the subtle manipulation of gravity and even nuclear power, the sword light striking the surface of Gu Jinlai’s body by the two Top True Immortals was directly blown away. Moreover, the rebounding force from the further explosion of the repulsion shield fiercely struck their bodies.
They were like being violently smashed by a huge invisible wall of Qi, their immortal bodies shook, their sword-holding arms were directly shattered by the force, and they were sent flying backwards.
Seeing that other True Immortals were continually pressing forward to attack, Gu Jinlai suddenly waved his left hand.
The repulsion shield expanded rapidly.
The same invisible air wall that had sent the two Top True Immortals flying spread swiftly, slamming ferociously into those remaining True Immortals rushing towards him.
Whether Ordinary True Immortals or Peak True Immortals, under the force of this rapidly spreading "air wall", all suffered shakes to their immortal bodies, flying back at a faster speed than their approach.
Under the recoil, every individual’s immortal body suffered varying degrees of injury; some newly promoted True Immortals even had their bodies directly smashed.
At this moment, facing these True Immortals, Gu Jinlai displayed an overwhelming advantage that could be described as effortlessly superb.
"Don’t worry about me! Trap him! Deplete his power!"
Yan Wuwen shouted strenuously.
But Gu Jinlai ignored him.
The previously disregarded Eight-direction Mountain Suppressing Array suddenly burst into brilliance, rapidly condensing an even larger, more realistic mountain illusion than before.
At the same time, a powerful wave of Divine Thought intent broke through the sky.
If not for Gu Jinlai’s dual cultivation with the Heavenly Monarch path, any other cultivator following the Innate Sacred Path might have their performance hindered merely by the oppression contained within this Divine Thought.
"Earth Heaven Dao, Master Wanxiang."
Gu Jinlai’s expression grew slightly grave.
The time hadn’t come yet.
His gaze shifted quickly, soon discerning something.
In fact, nothing needed to be seen.
Accompanied by the Eternal Core constructed by the Eternal Furnace inside his body shining, endless energy coalesced into the Great Divine Power South Fire Divine Light. Immediately, a huge beam of light, over a hundred meters in diameter, carrying condensed brilliance, shot toward the base of the mountain that was about to form.
The beam of light swept across, causing the mountains to collapse and the ground to split.
In Red Flame Canyon, whether it was boulders, sand, or dust, all were destroyed under the sweep of the South Fire Divine Light.
The formations inscribed below were also destroyed one by one through these violent means.
The mountain, which was almost fully condensed, became illusory as Gu Jinlai destroyed the ground formations quickly.
An angry voice seemed to travel across the void from a great distance.
Accompanying it was an astonishing oppression.
Red Flame Canyon was ultimately too close to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.
Tens of thousands of miles might be an insurmountable barrier for mortals in their lifetime, but for an Immortal Master, even for a True Immortal, it was merely half an hour.
Moreover, it was clear there was more than one arrival Formation left here by the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.
After Gu Jinlai destroyed this area, in another direction thousands of miles from the canyon, another mountain illusion seemed to appear and disappear.
In the moment, Gu Jinlai clenched his fist.
Yan Wuwen’s immortal body instantly shattered.
The remaining True Immortals, seeing this scene, all fled as fast as they could in all directions, their eyes filled with fear when looking at Gu Jinlai.
Seeing this, Gu Jinlai did not waste time chasing them. With one step into the void, he quickly reached the Star Gate leading from the Profound Immortal Realm to the Longevity World, and swiftly entered it.
While he had been in the Star Gate for only a few breaths, the mountains manifested by powerful Divine Thoughts mixed with the Power of Heavenly Dao appeared above this battlefield.
It was none other than Master Wanxiang, who had hurried over from another direction.
Seeing this Immortal Master, the surviving True Immortals quickly stepped forward to greet and pay respects.
Master Wanxiang uttered.
A Peak True Immortal stepped forward and quickly recounted the recent events.
Hearing the description from the Peak True Immortal, Master Wanxiang’s expression became slightly solemn: "Top Heavenly Immortal’s combat power... such a being, indeed, only an Immortal Master can defeat him without relying on a Grotto Heaven. You couldn’t trap him, letting him escape back to the Longevity World is not your fault."
