Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 1167 - 889: Gu Jinlai’s Battle Against 3,000 Daoist Ancestors
"Daoist Ancestor."
Gu Jinlai sensed the power of the Daoist Ancestor, something far beyond his current strength.
His only reliance was this universe. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
However, this universe has now mostly fallen into darkness, except for the very edge where a few flickering starlights remain, everywhere else is swiftly reclaimed by the influence of the monstrous Black Hole.
Yet, this process occurs over such a short period that the image hasn’t spread throughout the universe, such that some galaxies and civilizations at the edge of the universe, when looking toward the center with astronomical telescopes, can still see a splendid and bustling scene, marveling deeply at the enchanting beauty of this universe.
The only thing puzzling them, perhaps, is why such a vast universe seems devoid of other civilizations’ traces.
After all, in their view, the technology possessed by those god-level civilizations should easily spread footprints and traces to every corner of the universe and make contact with them.
Leading some civilizations to speculate whether they might be the universe’s sole life.
...
"Despite this universe being incomparably ancient, vast, and immense, it has ultimately died; even the elderly cannot maintain it, whereas it is utterly fallen. Just like a dead tiger, any small creature dares to take a share of the carcass. Similarly, this newborn universe..."
Gu Jinlai said.
In such circumstances, he needs to use the power inherent in the newborn universe to deal with it.
Like a fox devouring a tiger carcass, just causing the carcass to flip over while devouring would immediately crush the fox.
And the universe’s inherent power...
"Three Thousand Great Dao."
Gu Jinlai’s gaze extended to the boundary where the two universes connect.
Universe colliding, devouring, continuously releasing intense brilliance, shining gloriously enough to illuminate the universe.
Within that radiant light, three thousand majestic figures towering as though supporting the universe, strive to operate the Power of Dao Authority, slowly devouring and refining the ancient universe.
Observing the Power of Dao on the Three Thousand Daoist Ancestors, Gu Jinlai’s universe, now a light year across, expanded again.
Ten light years, a hundred light years, a thousand light years, ten thousand light years, one hundred thousand light years...
Unbeknownst to him, the simulated universe expanded to resemble a vast galactic system, its brilliance radiant, no longer trivial even on a cosmic scale.
At the very least...
The light of this universe can be perceived by other civilizations.
However, expanding to this extent is Gu Jinlai’s limit to support.
With his universe’s access permission, it gradually began to merge with the ancient universe.
The moment the two universes merged, he could feel his body becoming incomparably large and yet incredibly heavy.
Burdened to such an extent that even minimal movement required all his strength.
He understood this was because he couldn’t bear the operational load of this universe.
The universe is dead.
Dead things weigh heavier than living ones.
But Gu Jinlai has no intention of completely controlling this universe now.
If he did, he’d only fill himself into it.
What he intends to do is simply use his universe as a leverage point to gather residual energy towards him.
Like now...
Allowing his universe to integrate into the ancient universe, Gu Jinlai slightly stirred and felt an indescribably immense power pouring in.
He actively directed these forces to carve into the newborn universe’s Three Thousand Great Dao and utilized the Three Thousand Great Dao as a foundation to shape his new body of the Dao.
This Dao body grows ten thousand miles each day...
Under the inflow of cosmic power, it accelerates continuously.
When he sensed nearing his limit, his stature had become comparable to the Three Thousand Daoist Ancestors.
Moreover, its refinement surpassed the Three Thousand Daoist Ancestors exponentially.
As he slightly lowered his head...
He could see some stars ignited by the universe’s fusion seem like small light dots, emitting faint glimmers.
And the planets orbiting these stars were so minuscule they could be ignored, unable to spot them without care.
"Six light years."
Gu Jinlai’s divine sense activated, quickly calculating the height of his Dao body at that moment.
The next instant, he took a step in void, heading towards the junction of the two universes.
However, due to being unable to fully adapt to this Dao body, during transit, his body began crumbling continuously, and energy clashes unfailingly resembled supernova explosions, releasing splendid brilliance.
After a while, Gu Jinlai finally adapted to this form.
At the convergence point of the two universes, he completely mastered this unimaginably vast Dao body.
Then, with the continuous infusion of ancient universe power, he crossed realms and returned to the newborn universe.
Upon returning to the newborn universe, the Three Thousand Daoist Ancestors, aware of his presence, acted without hesitation.
Four or five light years tall, resembling Creation Pillars standing in the cosmic starry sky, their bodies collided directly at Gu Jinlai.
Dao flow circulated.
These collision forces exceeded the speed of light, surpassed space, transcended time.
Since each attack nearly accelerated time, the distance originally taking a year for light to traverse was crossed in less than a second.
Meanwhile, a vast amount of matter is being transported through Space Avenue, making the acceleration even more concealed and more violent.
Additionally, Karma Dao calculates the attack trajectory, ensuring—under its pull—that the attack hits with absolute certainty.
There is also Reincarnation Path ensuring the power rotation, endless, never exhausted.
Moreover, Dao of Fate tightly connects, coordinates all forces, making the threads of fate remain unbroken in any shock, transforming into a whole, unaffected.
The remaining...
Destruction Dao, Chaos Dao, Devouring Dao, Origin Dao, Infinite Dao, Flowing Light Path...
Various Daos circulate one by one, colliding with Gu Jinlai’s manifest Dao body.
But...
Gu Jinlai’s Dao body is exactly similar to the Dao bodies of the Daoist Ancestors.
They have Time Dao acceleration, Space Avenue transport, Karma Dao pull, Reincarnation Path transformation, Dao of Fate coordination, he...
Has them too.
He can even orchestrate these Dao powers at a deeper level, interpreting the cosmic cycle of creation and destruction, using cosmic annihilation power to crush Dao bodies, grinding the Dao bodies of the Daoist Ancestors into Xu Wu.
Roaring, crashing, permeating the Heart of the Cosmic.
Both sides rely on a cosmic.
The power is almost infinite.
The relentless release of energy crazily dissipates, transmitting through the Heart of the Cosmic to every corner of the cosmic.
The first to bear the brunt are the Evil Gods closest to the Heart of the Cosmic.
Some wise, ancient Evil Gods, like Ancient Desolation and Firewood, witnessed Gu Jinlai ascend to another ancient cosmic and realized a cosmic war is about to erupt, thus they fled the Heart of the Cosmic early.
But those who have lost reason, who haven’t witnessed the clash between Gu Jinlai and the Daoist Ancestors, still linger in the depths of the Heart of the Cosmic, becoming the first casualties of this great battle.
Relentless energy surges from the Cosmic Core, with the Three Thousand Great Dao sometimes in chaos, sometimes vanishing...
When the Three Thousand Great Dao are extinguished, even strong as Evil Gods cannot maintain their existence.
Evil God Power symbolizes the aspect of destruction.
And destruction corresponds to the concept of existence.
When the concept of "existence" ceases to exist, "destruction" naturally vanishes.
As many Evil Gods fall in the first batch, the power of the shockwaves also sweeps to the perimeter defenses of the Heart of the Cosmic.
These fortifications rely entirely on the Three Thousand Great Dao to be built.
The current cosmic battle at the depths of the Heart of the Cosmic occasionally raises the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao to the extreme, so condensed and violent that even Great Powers find it unbearable.
Occasionally, all Dao powers are utterly annihilated, transformed into Xu Wu.
Be it Immortal Venerable or Immortal, directly demoted from Honorable Daoist to True Immortal, falling from the clouds to the dust.
Let alone other accidents, even many Honorable Daoists are torn apart in their immortal bodies by the inertia of flight speed.
As for the formations laid out using the Three Thousand Great Dao, they are all entirely lost to loss of control.
The radiant formations gradually dimmed.
The grand structures collapsed thunderously.
The cosmic spectacle-like continents disintegrated, becoming cosmic dust.
Destruction!
Everything, everything is swiftly being destroyed!
Like buildings, factories, sculptures, landscapes under the earthquake...
When the whole star begins to shake, nothing can remain intact.
Even the higher the technology, the greater the inherent danger becomes.
Especially, this is a super earthquake sweeping across the entire planet.
...
The cosmic upheaval, as all forces within cultivate with fear and argue endlessly.
"What happened, these shockwaves are coming from the Heart of the Cosmic, what exactly is happening deep within the Heart of the Cosmic?"
"Could it be the Evil Gods launched a full-scale attack? A thousand years ago, all the Great Powers entered the Heart of the Cosmic, exactly why to conduct final negotiations with the Evil Gods, now the negotiations failed, war erupted!?"
"No matter how strong the power of the Evil Gods, it can’t shake the Three Thousand Great Dao! Daoist Ancestor, it’s the Daoist Ancestor!"
"Our Patriarch is a direct disciple of the Great Power, a thousand years ago the Great Powers converged at the Heart of the Cosmic, it is said because they found a path above Honorable Daoist, a path that can rival the Daoist Ancestor, or even transcend the Daoist Ancestor! Given the current major commotion, it is highly likely someone succeeded, someone stepped into the Daoist Ancestor Realm, and erupted into a fierce battle with the Daoist Ancestor!"
"Quite likely, a thousand years ago, almost all Great Powers vanished, those who reappeared are few, they are brewing this unprecedented challenge of the Daoist Ancestor!"
"Challenge the Daoist Ancestor... If successful, will we be able to avoid the fate of being purged in the future?"
Various speculations run rampant, but almost everyone maintains an optimistic attitude.
In the view of many Golden Immortals and Immortals, the Great Powers are only a step away from the Daoist Ancestor.
Great Powers can even use the Silent Annihilation Technique to avoid purging by the Daoist Ancestor, now nearly a hundred Great Powers of all cosmic races have entered the Heart of the Cosmic, they must take that pivotal step, ushering in an unprecedented era.
Immortals will soon enter an era where they no longer need to worry about purging.
But...
Those Immortal Venerables, as well as a few Great Powers who did not participate in the battle, clearly are not so optimistic.
Those who know the truth, at this moment none know where the future of the cosmic will lead.
