Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal
Chapter 230 - 227: The Entire Army is Wiped Out

Chapter 230: Chapter 227: The Entire Army is Wiped Out

Amidst the swirling dust, a colossal figure gradually became distinct.

The moment they saw this figure, both Ye Qianqiu and Sword Master Xue He simultaneously widened their eyes in shock, their bodies involuntarily trembling slightly.

"Gu... Gu Jinlai..."

Gu Jinlai!

This immense figure that stepped out from the endless dust was none other than Gu Jinlai.

By utilizing the "Eternal Immortal" trait derived from the Eternal Furnace, he merged with the Eternal Furnace at the moment of the energy burst, transforming into an energy-state being.

Moreover, the terrifying energy and high temperatures contained within the Eternal Furnace itself wrapped around his body and consciousness, ensuring that even a strike as powerful as a tactical nuclear warhead could not completely dissolve him.

Just like a fish in a tsunami, naturally, it would not be destroyed by the force of the giant waves.

Especially...

With the help of the Eternal Furnace’s Eternal Immortal trait, his entire state seemed to have been reset; apart from his simple clothing, his muscular upper body appeared unscathed, without the slightest trace of scars.

A faint golden light spread from his body, and behind him, more dazzling layers of a Great Sun halo flickered, making him look like a deity cast from gold, filled with a breathtaking oppressive aura.

"Your wounds..."

Ye Qianqiu’s face was filled with disbelief.

Gu Jinlai had been pierced through by flying swords of several Divinity Transformation Great Cultivators, leaving numerous blood-filled holes on his body, but now...

He was completely unharmed!

This sight almost completely overturned his worldview.

"How is this possible..."

"Boom!"

Responding to him, the ground beneath Gu Jinlai’s feet suddenly shook violently.

Within a few meters, the ground seemed to have been pounded into collapse and fractures by a colossal force.

Alongside the explosive burst of power under his feet, Gu Jinlai’s figure, like an ancient Demon God, carried an utterly ferocious terror and boldly covered the distance of less than a hundred meters between them. Before he arrived, the suffocating oppression of the Fist Gang arrived first.

"Gu Jinlai!"

Ye Qianqiu let out a resolute shout.

His entire essence Qi spirit surged intensely.

A dragon chant even emanated from within his body.

Sighing Dragon Transformation Technique.

True Essence Dragon, infused into the flying sword by his side, caused the sword Qi and Sword Gang erupting from the flying sword to strengthen to the extreme, faintly forming a shadow similar to Heavenly Dragon Wood, emitting a soul-stirring roar.

"Sword-transformed Sky Dragon!"

"Boom!"

Before the Sky Dragon formed by the flying sword could reach its peak, a column of light from the Great Sun behind Gu Jinlai had already struck first.

Eternal Heavenly Curse.

Huo Yuqing, relying on the highly concentrated Primordial Spirit and the Quasi-Dao Artifact flying sword imbued with divine transformation traits, could withstand the bombardment of the Eternal Heavenly Curse.

But Ye Qianqiu’s Primordial Spirit had not yet reached its peak, and the flying sword in his hand only had the standard traits of Breaking the Sky, Sharpness, and Infinite; how could it withstand the strike of the Eternal Heavenly Curse.

The Sky Dragon formed by the flying sword, dignified and roaring towards the sky, disintegrated under the impact of the Eternal Heavenly Curse.

Even though the sword Qi still emitted from this flying sword remained sharp enough to catch the eye of any Divinity Transformation Great Cultivator, its power had vastly weakened.

As Gu Jinlai’s thunderous strike carrying colossal power pounded down, the pure and wild force shook the void, instantly blasting the flying sword away.

"No!"

As his flying sword was blasted away, Ye Qianqiu, in a desperate attempt, immediately showed a look of despair in his eyes.

The next moment, Gu Jinlai’s entire being surged into the sky, like a true Supreme Demon. His punches rained down furiously, targeting Ye Qianqiu and unleashing a rapid assault.

He threw one hundred thirty-six punches in the span of a single breath.

In the first half of that breath, Ye Qianqiu could still use his Primordial Spirit Real Person’s True Yuan and Protective Spirit Artifacts to defend himself, even trying his utmost to escape from the enveloping punches of Gu Jinlai and soar into the void.

But...

The purpose of Gu Jinlai’s outbreak was to give Ye Qianqiu no chance to resist.

Furthermore, with the physical strength of a Middle-level Great Demon and the explosive power of the Great Sun True Demon Body in close combat, he was already far superior to a Primordial Spirit Real Person.

With the Ten Directions Annihilation,

and the Crossing the World,

the perfect combination of movement technique and swordsmanship completely broke down all of Ye Qianqiu’s resistance.

Ye Qianqiu held on bitterly for a moment, his Spirit Armor shattered, and his True Qi exploded.

In the end, a dozen punches struck him simultaneously, instantly smashing his entire figure into pieces.

Such brutality, such ferocity, was enough to make any witness shudder.

After annihilating Ye Qianqiu, Gu Jinlai’s gaze shifted.

He saw that the figure of Sword Master Xue He was quickly dashing into the dust and soon disappeared within the dust-filled area.

Although Sword Master Xue He was utterly loyal to Dragon Sparrow Manor, even possessing the courage to fight to the death for the manor,

but...

Being willing to fight to the death for Dragon Sparrow Manor and choosing a meaningless death were two different concepts.

To still be driven by rage to seek death despite knowing the invincibility of Gu Jinlai...

That was the act of foolhardy bravery.

Sword Master Xue He intended to preserve her useful life, keep the legacy of Dragon Sparrow Manor, and hopefully rise again one day to avenge the Supreme Elders, Elders, and other elders of Dragon Sparrow Manor.

"Swoosh!"

A few breaths after Sword Master Xue He had escaped into the dust, sword light broke the sky!

A streak mixed with the mighty sword light of Star Lord Xin Tianqi descended from the heavens.

Suddenly, the roaring explosion, the scattering energy fluctuations, and the piercing screams came from the direction where Sword Master Xue He had fled.

As soon as Xin Tianqi’s sword light arrived, another five sword lights whistled through the air, simultaneously striking in several directions.

In those directions, Sword Qi also rose up, clashing and intertwining with the sword lights, spewing out violent air waves that swept up dust and debris.

These sword lights directed Gu Jinlai, who could barely see his surroundings.

He strode forward like a meteor, wrapped in a wild wind, and soon reached the location of the closest Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

That Divinity Transformation Cultivator was currently engaged in aerial combat with Cheng Wanli through sword control.

Upon sensing Gu Jinlai approaching with a surging aura, his face drastically changed, and he immediately tried to recall his flying sword.

However, Cheng Wanli also sensed Gu Jinlai’s aura and was not willing to miss such a precious opportunity.

The sword blade vibrated intensely, firmly entangling the flying sword of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

In just a moment, Gu Jinlai had already pounced in front of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

"No! Don’t! I..."

The terrified scream of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator was cut short before he could beg for mercy, as Gu Jinlai struck him down with a punch powerful enough to tear through defenses like rotten wood.

After killing the Divinity Transformation Cultivator, Gu Jinlai did not pause for even a moment; he followed the guidance of the sword light and headed towards another Divinity Transformation at Dragon Sparrow Manor.

Soon after, the ground thundered.

Iron hooves trampled, fierce beasts roared, and T-Rexes bellowed.

Countless Demon God Guards riding various mounts, like a torrent of steel, surged forth and stormed into the debris-filled land engulfed in dust, heavy smoke, and fierce flames.

They brutally slaughtered the survivors of Dragon Sparrow Manor without any regard for the still scorching temperatures of the moment.

War!

This was a war between the two top powers of Jiangzhou State and Star State!

In the face of this war, let alone ordinary soldiers, even those who had cultivated True Qi and could be ranked in the top hundred of a county city of a hundred thousand people, merely served as cannon fodder.

...

Meanwhile.

Around Dragon Roar City and Dragon Ascending Mountain.

The disciples from Yellow Sky Sect, Cold Moon Sect, as well as Netherworld Sect and Purgatory Sect, also witnessed the brilliance that plummeted like a great sun.

Shortly afterward, the Demon God Guards, who were initially stationed below Dragon Ascending Mountain but were now charging full force, crossing seven or eight miles at high speed like a torrent of steel, stormed into the battlefield.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone realized one thing.

"Dragon Sparrow Manor... is finished."

This realization was followed by shock.

Shock at the power that nearly wiped out the elite forces of Dragon Sparrow Manor in one fell swoop.

"What kind of immense force was that? Did Gu Jinlai throw the fierce sun from above the Nine Heavens down to the outskirts of Dragon Roar City?"

"Losing under such devastating force, Dragon Sparrow Manor’s defeat is unsurprising."

"This... This power is too terrifying! Is it a newly developed Slaughter Spirit Artifact by Gu Jinlai or a supreme treasure he obtained from the Aries Star Palace? Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly at all costs!"

These powers were all stirring.

Some even risked the danger of Gu Jinlai’s Demon God Guards still pursuing and killing the remnants of Dragon Sparrow Manor, sneaking into the battlefield just to grasp firsthand information.

After all, such power was too frightening.

If they could not understand it, if Dragon Sparrow Manor could not withstand it, their own sects were equally vulnerable.

...

The pursuit by the Demon God Guards continued for several dozen kilometers.

A thousand three hundred Demon God Guards, each as strong as those in the Gang Condensation Realm, along with dozens of Refining Gods and the flying swords of five Divinity Transformations, as well as Primordial Spirit True Monarch Xin Tianqi sweeping back and forth in the sky, left the high-ranking experts of Dragon Sparrow Manor with no ability to resist.

It should be noted that although the strike from Gu Jinlai directly killed only four to five hundred people, those who survived had all sustained severe injuries to some extent; the truly unharmed were probably only the few dozen people on the outermost fringes.

In such a scenario, facing the overwhelming momentum and readiness of the Demon God Guards’ pursuit, how could they possibly stand their ground?

In one battle, the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs and thirteen Divinity Transformation Cultivators who dashed out of Dragon Roar City, as well as numerous Refining God Immortals, were slaughtered to the last.

Three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs...

Huo Yuqing needs no mention.

The strike, equivalent to a small tactical nuclear bomb, exploded just a dozen meters from her, obliterating her instantly.

Long Xiangtian, who hurried to rescue Huo Yuqing and was close by, likewise did not survive.

The remaining Ye Qianqiu, although he did not die from that strike, was flattened to the ground by Gu Jinlai’s reset flying sword and killed before he could ascend into the void.

Otherwise, had Gu Jinlai lost the Cheng Ying Sword and lacked the power to fly, if he had managed to ascend into the void, there was a great chance that he could have escaped back to Dragon Roar City.

Even though he could not have defended the city, he could at least have fled with the core essence of Dragon Sparrow Manor’s legacy.

But now...

With the exception of a few Divinity Transformations who had not fought due to the backlash of their Yin Gods, ever
