Chapter 480: Chapter 476: The End of the Strong Crossbow

Li Long Domain!

Intense light shone brightly, fierce flames roared.

Numerous devils, like a tide, were summoned continuously by many Demon Kings, surging from all directions.

Eventually, because of the excessive number of devils, Gu Jinlai didn’t even need to go anywhere to collect them; he could stand in place and annihilate the devils that surged towards him in waves.

Every attack turned thousands of kilometers into a Purgatory Fire Sea.

Within the core area, no devil could survive.

The shockwaves and flames could spread even further, sweeping across several kilometers.

As for the remaining hurricanes and radiation, they could spread to more than ten kilometers away...

By then, they could no longer cause too severe damage to the devils.

Even so, due to the vast number of devils, each round of Gu Jinlai’s attacks could still cause casualties in the hundreds.

If he controlled the release frequency of the energy within the Eternal Furnace, waiting for a larger number of devils to gather before unleashing it, he could even annihilate thousands of devils in one fell swoop.

However, after releasing dozens of rounds of Divine Skills and annihilating tens of thousands of devils, he had already realized something.

"There’s a Demon Emperor controlling the devil army behind the scenes, intentionally draining the energy from my body."

Once Gu Jinlai figured this out, he couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Um.

The energy from the recent nuclear fusion had been replenished.

"Then I will just play along with your desires."

Gu Jinlai once again operated the energy of the Eternal Furnace, coordinating with the Thunder Light Domain and its transmission characteristic, and directly released it at the edge of the Thunder Light Domain, sweeping through the attacking devils in swathes.

This destruction continued for another dozen rounds until the incoming devils, sensing fear, gradually became less clustered. It was only then that he slightly reduced the energy fluctuations emanating from his body.

As soon as he reduced his energy fluctuations, the Demon Kings and Demon Emperors hidden behind the scenes noticed, promptly issuing rapid commands.

Suddenly, those devils that were hesitant to advance roared again, launching fearless attacks at Gu Jinlai.

After releasing three more attacks with the brilliance of the Great Sun, Gu Jinlai abruptly soared into the air, adopting a movement technique with an initial burst covering thousands of kilometers but with a brief half-breath pause, seemingly to move away from the battlefield.

This movement technique achieved extreme speed momentarily, but on average...

It was not even twice the speed of sound.

"Hahaha, this human is done for, I knew it. A Divine Skill with such astonishing power couldn’t have been low-cost."

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor, controlling from a distance, laughed heartily, quickly directing three Demon Kings to intercept Gu Jinlai and prevent him from breaking through the encirclement.

The three Demon Kings cautiously surged towards the Void.

But in the next second, they were counterattacked by Gu Jinlai.

Although these three Demon Kings were specially known for their speed and strong self-preservation, Gu Jinlai, relying on the Thunder Light Domain, overwhelmed the usual Martial Saints with his attacks, reducing the three Demon Kings to ashes amidst brilliant light in just moments.

During this time, Gu Jinlai had seemingly locked onto the Giant Ape Demon Emperor as if locating his aura, completely disregarding his own significantly depleted energy, and charged at full speed towards the Giant Ape Demon Emperor.

"Planning to decapitate!?"

The Demon Emperor sensed Gu Jinlai’s intent and immediately pulled back, while fiercely ordering a large number of ordinary devils to intercept fearlessly.

Though it rapidly retreated, it never left Gu Jinlai’s perceptual range, giving him a sense of hope that if he tried hard enough, he could reach it and perform the decapitation.

The Great Sun hung in the sky.

Again, tens of thousands of devils perished within the fierce flames.

At this time, Gu Jinlai’s energy had dropped to less than thirty percent of its peak. Seeing that the Giant Ape Demon Emperor always seemed to dangle just out of reach, he seemed angered and activated a Forbidden Technique, causing his energy to suddenly surge explosively.

"Not good!"

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor exclaimed in alarm and withdrew even faster.

Unfortunately...

It was too late!

Leveraging this explosion, Gu Jinlai’s form blazed like a streak of lightning, instantly covering the short distance between them, and an even more dazzling and violent burst of energy explosively unleashed.

In the Giant Ape Demon Emperor’s scream of terror, the intense bright light instantly filled the world.

"Boom!"

The bright light, mingled with fierce flames, swept destructively in all directions.

Not only did it instantly kill the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, but it also swept Gu Jinlai himself up and flung him away.

Mid-air, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

This was real blood, although there was a hint of disguise, the blood he spit out was one hundred percent real.

It wasn’t smeared with anything like ketchup.

After all, this world doesn’t have ketchup.

And furthermore...

The range of the Thunder Light Domain was only one kilometer, and it didn’t have defensive capabilities.

Normally, projecting the nuclear fusion power of the Eternal Furnace beyond a kilometer would at most result in some shock similar to dust dirtied by an explosion, not causing injury.

But if he had chosen to build up the power beforehand...

The power of nuclear fusion would massively increase.

It was like leaping from a yield of ten thousand tons directly to one hundred thousand tons!

Even though he instantly moved to a kilometer away, he was still inevitably affected.

Of course, the Thunder Light Domain could also spread to two or three kilometers, but that wouldn’t make much sense.

The larger the range, the weaker the force of the Thunder Light Domain becomes.

Without the powerful cooperation of the Thunder Light Domain, relying solely on the transmission characteristic is not enough to project the Nuclear Fusion’s force to two or three kilometers away.

"Swoosh!"

Gu Jinlai, spitting out fresh blood, was swept thousands of kilometers away by the shock wave generated by the Nuclear Fusion explosion, falling to the ground like a Meteor Star, kicking up countless dust.

When he climbed out of that pit, he had become extremely disheveled.

His aura had plummeted to its lowest point.

This scene was witnessed by three Demon Emperors from a farther distance.

Although they were shocked by the tragic death of the Giant Ape Demon Emperor, looking at the extremely disheveled Gu Jinlai...

they all felt that he had reached the end of his rope.

At that moment, the Demon Emperor who looked like a Flame Demon roared, "I’ll handle this human and avenge our brother!"

As its voice carried, it was already flapping its wings, stirring up Fierce Flames, and lunged into the air.

"Be careful of traps!"

The Six-headed Demon Emperor quickly cautioned.

However, seeing Gu Jinlai sway as he tried to fly into the Void, it had to change its tune, "Even in hunting a rabbit, the lion gives its all. Just in case this human still has some Killing Move not yet released, let’s strike together."

"Together? To deal with such a human whose True Yuan has been exhausted, Flame Blade stepping in is more than enough,"

said the lead Demon Emperor, looking like a Rhino Man.

They had long gained abundant experience in battles with humans.

Using those cannon fodder-like Demon Spirits transformed into Devils, Demon Generals, and Demon Marshals to whittle down their strength, and when they realized something was wrong and tried to escape, they would make a domineering entry and strike a fatal blow.

After all, the Demon Realm was never short of ordinary Demon Spirits.

"This human managed to cultivate to this extent, he couldn’t possibly be a fool. If he didn’t have confidence, why would he come alone to our Chi Long Territory? Moreover, didn’t the Great Commander say we should capture this human alive? Let us join forces to ensure nothing goes wrong,"

the Six-headed Demon Emperor quickly tried another method to persuade.

This method proved effective, and the top Demon Emperor considered for a moment, then ordered, "Follow, let’s strike together, capture him alive."

Suddenly, three Demon Emperors appeared one after another.

At this time, Gu Jinlai seemed to have sensed the aura of the three Demon Emperors.

His face clearly showed a sense of "desperation."

It seemed that the appearance of the three Demon Emperors one after another made him realize that his escape was doomed today.

"Hahaha, there really is a human who dare to challenge our Chi Long Territory..."

The leading Flame Blade Demon Emperor laughed aloud, increasing its flying speed once again, clearly entering charging mode.

But at that moment, the already cornered Gu Jinlai seemed to take out an elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.

The elixir’s effect was so fast it was astonishing.

In less than a breath, a terrifyingly fierce and brilliant energy was bred within Gu Jinlai’s body, which accumulated at a rapid pace.

This scene made the Flame Blade Demon Emperor, who had raced ahead, change its expression abruptly.

"What kind of elixir is this!? No, wait! This isn’t any elixir! It’s a trap! You’re pretending!"

As it charged forward, it suddenly halted, seeking to widen the distance between them as quickly as possible.

But at that moment, Gu Jinlai’s figure transformed into a bolt of lightning.

Under the Thunder Light Dragon Transformation, his figure flickered continuously, each flicker spanning a kilometer.

By the time Flame Blade Demon Emperor drew back, his figure had already appeared a kilometer away from it.

Then...

Thunder light flickered.

The fully charged Nuclear Fusion, under the combined effect of the transmission trait and Thunder Light Domain, transformed into a huge energy beam, violently assaulting the body of the Flame Blade Demon Emperor.

Just like the fate of the Giant Ape Demon Emperor just now, under the fierce and brilliant terrifying energy and high temperature, this Demon Emperor screamed, its entire body turned to char.

Like cotton overwhelmed by molten steel.

Correspondingly, Gu Jinlai was again swept backwards by the explosion’s shock wave, staggering back and then spitting out another mouthful of fresh blood, his strength plummeted once again.

"Flame Blade..."

The following Six-headed Demon Emperor and Rhino Commander, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Their rushing figures came to an abrupt halt.

"This human!?"

The Six-headed Demon Emperor’s gaze immediately turned towards Gu Jinlai, staring intensely at him as if trying to discern what kind of monster he truly was.

Gu Jinlai, seeing the two Demon Emperors who had halted, suppressed his aura as much as possible, "If I say, that the strike I just released was solely based on the power of Forbidden Medicine, and now I am completely at the end of my tether, would you believe me?"

"Swoosh!"

The response of the two Demon Emperors was to turn back at the highest speed and dash frantically for their lives.

Escape!

This human, something is very wrong with him.

Run, the farther, the better!
