Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 620 - 612: A Free Pickup

Immortal Fei Hong manifested his True Immortal form that was also about two hundred meters tall.

More precisely, the stature of every Peak True Immortal essentially exceeded two hundred meters, though depending on the strength of their foundation, some were just over two hundred meters, while others could reach nearly three hundred meters.

And beyond three hundred meters...

That was the domain of Heavenly Immortals.

Heavenly Immortals rely on the power of Grotto Heaven to amplify their strength, and distribute the load of their Immortal Body across the Grotto Heaven and the Heavenly Dao, enabling them to condense forms over three hundred meters, even up to four, five, six hundred meters, with the tallest reaching over nine hundred terrifying meters.

But now...

There was no Grotto Heaven, and there was no Heavenly Dao.

Yet what was projected in front of Immortal Fei Hong was a colossal figure reaching nine hundred meters...

To be exact, a terrifying shadow that was nine hundred and ninety meters tall.

Standing in front of this formidable figure, he, Immortal Fei Hong, was like a child not even half a meter tall, who could ride public transport without a ticket, standing in front of a muscular man who was one ninety-eight, nearly two meters tall.

This was a gap that could not be bridged by bravery or skill.

This was a fear that could not be overcome by fighting spirit and resolve.

The oppressive sensation brought with such massive size was so overwhelming, it could suffocate and lead any enemy standing before it to despair.

Immortal Fei Hong looked up at the figure, feeling the True Yuan inside his body come to a standstill.

"Immortal... Immortal Master!?"

He gazed dumbly at the nearly kilometer-tall terrifying figure, losing all will to fight.

At that moment, he finally understood why this figure could still exert the strength of a High-level Heavenly Immortal despite the fact that there should be no Grotto Heaven in the vicinity outside of Baihe City’s Grotto Heaven.

Because...

He was an Immortal Master!

Independent of Grotto Heaven, he was an Immortal Master still capable of maintaining his strongest form temporarily after leaving the Grotto Heaven!

He, Fei Hong, a Strongest True Immortal who wasn’t even a Heavenly Immortal—what qualifications did he have to draw the personal intervention of an Immortal Master?

The next moment, that towering figure who had congealed the power of numerous Fiery Flame Phoenixes into one, waved his hand.

All the brilliance formed by explosions started to compress and coalesce crazily, ultimately shaping into a dazzling pillar of light with a diameter of hundreds of meters, capable of incinerating anything, streaking across the sky.

South Fire Divine Light.

Immortal Fei Hong immediately summoned the nearby Fiery Flame Phoenixes in an attempt to block it, but...

He couldn’t.

Beneath this terrifying pillar of South Fire Divine Light, the already few Fiery Flame Phoenixes were pierced, shattered, and dispersed one after another, followed by a flash in Immortal Fei Hong’s pupils as the pillar moved with inconceivable speed...

This scene made the Strongest True Immortal realize...

It was meaningless.

Against an Immortal Master wielding the Heavenly Dao, everything was meaningless.

Not to mention that the Flame Heavenly Dao in his hands was already weakened to the extreme, incapable of exerting its peak power. Even if he could exert the Flame Heavenly Dao’s power fully, or even...

Even if their family’s Patriarch—the Divine Phoenix Immortal Master was alive, facing such a powerful Immortal Master, victory would not be certain.

After all, the stature of his own Patriarch compared to this terrifying being was obviously smaller.

And in the domain beyond Mahayana, stature often represented the upper limit of battle power a cultivator could exert.

"Whoosh!"

The pillar streaked past.

The upper half of Immortal Fei Hong’s body was directly turned to dust by the hundred-meter diameter South Fire Divine Light.

The South Fire Divine Light, containing terrifying might, continued shooting towards the heavens, piercing through the clouds, following the horizon of the Profound Immortal Realm, disappearing at the end of everyone’s sight.

As Immortal Fei Hong perished, the Fiery Flame Phoenixes lost control and merged back into the fire ring, which had already dimmed significantly.

Before the fire ring could fall towards the corpse of the Divine Phoenix Immortal Master within Baihe City’s Grotto Heaven below, Gu Jinlai had already stepped into the void, arriving in front of the fire ring, and clapped his hands together...

The ring of Flame Heavenly Dao began to contract rapidly.

During this process, the Flame Heavenly Dao fiercely resisted. Terrible energy continuously escaped, assaulting his hands until his arms were blown apart.

However, the Flame Heavenly Dao’s power was ultimately almost depleted.

As the Three Realms Technique operated fully, a powerful Electromagnetic Power burst forth, forcibly restraining the fire ring, and ultimately, Gu Jinlai forcefully integrated the Flame Heavenly Dao into his own body.

Once inside, the Void Space within the Eternal Core at the core of Gu Jinlai’s being rapidly spun, pulling the Flame Heavenly Dao into it like a black hole, preventing any further struggles.

At the same time, the Spirit Crystals from Zhao Xi revealed within his storage ring manifested, pouring into the Void Space and the Flame Heavenly Dao.

As these crystals, filled with the power of Spiritual Mechanism, were absorbed, the Flame Heavenly Dao gradually calmed down.

Seizing this chance, Gu Jinlai directly merged his True Spirit into the Flame Heavenly Dao, repeatedly refining and cleansing it, imprinting it with his own aura.

As he refined the Flame Heavenly Dao, insights about the essence of flames surged forth in his mind.

For the first time, Gu Jinlai realized the sheer diversity of the simple power of flames.

"Even the most perfect laws of thermodynamics might not suffice to describe the Mysterious essence of the Flame Heavenly Dao. It’s like how what people observe of the Cosmic universe is but the tip of the iceberg; what wonders are hidden in the true universe remains an enigma that might not be fully unveiled even after thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years."

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.

He stared intently at the Eternal Core’s innermost part, that Void Space which would later be turned into the Spirit Realm, for a moment...

This Void Space itself was akin to an internal Grotto Heaven, and although it was somewhat different from external Grotto Heavens without a clear Cave Heaven Barrier, the operation of the Void Space would still generate a powerful gravitational and nuclear power that bound everything within.

Even the Flame Heavenly Dao and the Spiritual Mechanism Power could not escape from it.

Not being able to escape was, in itself, akin to a method of containment and carriage.

It’s like using a box to contain a piece of steel.

To attract and hold steel with a magnet is also to contain it.

It’s just that the methods between the two are different.

"This Flame Heavenly Dao seems... to enhance the power of all Fire Based Divine Powers? It even gives me insights into the further refinement of the Eternal Core?"

Gu Jinlai carefully perceived.

As for specifics, he would have to wait until he had completely refined the Flame Heavenly Dao to distinguish it.

For the time being, he withdrew his attention from the Flame Heavenly Dao.

While refining the Heavenly Dao with his True Spirit, he sensed his own state.

Maintaining an enormous stature of nine hundred and ninety meters was a bit too taxing, and even in such a short moment, he felt the operation of the Eternal Core within his body becoming somewhat unstable.

Immediately, he quickly converged his form, reducing from nine hundred and ninety meters to four hundred and ninety meters, and after hesitating for a moment, further reduced it to two hundred and sixty meters.

This form was the posture where his energy output and replenishment could maintain balance.

With the energy output rate of the Eternal Core, he could maintain this state for hundreds of years, even engaging in fierce battles without having to worry about running out of power.

At worst, he could take a few more deep breaths of cold air.

Of course, this form would certainly have many inconveniences.

Every move he made would cause many buildings in the city to collapse and shatter; a casual stroll in any place would leave a trail of destruction, and from now on, he would only be able to sleep in the wilderness and dine on the wind and dew...

"Ultimately, it’s just my human habits making mischief," Gu Jinlai said to himself inwardly, then turned his gaze toward the people from Red Cloud Sect in Baihe City.

The Red Cloud Sect’s occupation of Baihe City was far from gentle. This was even more evident from Immortal Fei Hong’s order to slaughter the city, stimulating the spiritual nature of millions of Baihe City citizens to nurture the Flame Heavenly Dao.

Not many good people among them.

Right then, Gu Jinlai directly unleashed the Thunder Light Domain.

The raging thunderbolts swept toward Baihe City in an instant.

Whoever’s Karma reached the red level, regardless of identity or background, was bombarded by the thunderbolts descending from the Thunder Light Domain.

Wherever he went, the thunderbolts struck.

Before long, tens of thousands were charred to death on the spot, and the entire Baihe City was quickly cleansed.

"Baihe City has been conquered, but in the Profound Immortal Realm, Immortal Lords are well accounted for. If a new Immortal Lord suddenly emerges, it’ll surely draw many peering eyes..." Gu Jinlai pondered.

Especially since...

He currently wasn’t truly an Immortal Lord.

It was only because of the Mysterious nature of the Three Realms Technique that he could, for a short time, unleash power comparable to an Immortal Lord.

If he truly contended with a genuine Immortal Lord who possessed a Grotto Heaven, he would inevitably be the one to fall.

Not to mention...

"There are no Profound Immortals in the Profound Immortal Realm? I don’t even believe that myself, really wonder how Zhao Xi gathered his information." Gu Jinlai muttered to himself.

Only forces with an Immortal Lord stationed are called top-tier powers.

Above these top-tier powers are the five overlords.

If the five overlords didn’t have Profound Immortals, how could they possibly suppress top-tier powers with Immortal Lords?

Even if there were no Profound Immortals in the northern, southern, eastern, and western domains, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect surely would have them.

So, he needed to be patient and cautious, advancing step by step.

With that in mind, he acted promptly, "shattering" the Grotto Heaven of Red Cloud Sect, which wasn’t all too sturdy to begin with, took the corpse of the Divine Phoenix Immortal Master, and left the scene right away. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

He made it look as though he had come specifically for Immortal Fei Hong and the corpse of the Divine Phoenix Immortal Master.

And given that he headed toward the Southern Domain upon leaving, it was easy to give the impression that he was, in fact, dispatched by the Chi Family, the rulers of the Southern Domain.

As for the notion that the Chi Family didn’t have such an Immortal Lord?

That was a joke; who would openly expose all of their power?

As an ancient family that had branched off from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and persisted for tens of thousands of years, it was perfectly reasonable for them to have three or five hidden Immortal Lords.

After the pretended Immortal Lord left, he quietly returned as Jiang Yufeng, and while taking the opportunity to assert control over the seemingly shattered but actually adjusted and tidied Grotto Heaven of Red Cloud Sect, he took out a Communication Jade Token and messaged Yu Xu and the others.

"A suspected Immortal Lord Level being suddenly made a move, killed Immortal Fei Hong, seized the Flame Heavenly Dao and the corpse of the Divine Phoenix Immortal Master, and along the way, eliminated nearly all the high-level members of Red Cloud Sect. Now, Red Cloud Sect and Baihe City are practically without an owner!"

He swiftly sent out the message: "Practically given a Grotto Heaven for free! Hurry back!"
