Liu Feiyun hails from Li Yang Cave Heaven.
He personally experienced the epic war that took place between Li Yang Cave Heaven and the demons more than thirty years ago.
As a Demonic Cultist, Ji Lie had also seen much of the world over the years.
Yet, the scene before them, the fall of a Demon God, continued to shake their divine senses, leaving their minds blank and unable to recover for a long ti.
To slay a Demon God!?
This power...
"True Immortal?"
Liu Feiyun stared blankly at Gu Jinlai, "Our Supre Elder... is a True Immortal?"
"So, without relying on the power of Formations and Grotto Heavens, we cultivators can also slay Demon Gods! Can kill those chanical monsters!?"
Ji Lie’s spirit was in a trance.
In that mont, Gu Jinlai before him seed to transform into a ray of light.
A light that dispelled all gloom, shining brightly through the darkness before them.
"The fall of a Demon God... since that battle more than a decade ago... the demons, once again, have a Demon God fallen..."
Xuanzhou murmured to himself.
While he felt a myriad of emotions, he also felt an impulse to hold back tears, without fully understanding why he felt this way.
"To slay a Demon God is the power of a True Immortal... we... we have a True Immortal."
The others were also flooded with thoughts, their eyes filled with an indescribable radiance.
It was the glow of seeing hope.
"It’s alright now."
It was Gu Jinlai who, watching the final scenes projected by the Heavenly Shadow Instrunt, said calmly, "Now, discuss among yourselves how to copy this Video Stone, I want to spread it throughout the Holy Dynasty."
"Copy this Video Stone, spread it throughout the Holy Dynasty!?"
Ji Lie quickly understood what Gu Jinlai ant, his emotions stirred, "Your Majesty, you an..."
"The battle more than a decade ago had crushed the Holy Dynasty’s spirit. The people who knew more about the truth of that battle beca more pessimistic about the future, causing the Dynasty to fall at a visible rate over the years, turning the Holy Land gradually into a den of demons! This is not what we, nor any aspiring individuals who have gone through great hardships to reach the Holy Dynasty, wish to see. We urgently need a victory to boost morale and inspire people!"
Gu Jinlai pointed at the crystal on the Heavenly Shadow Instrunt, "Tell everyone in the Holy Dynasty through this Video Stone that demons too can fear, and Demon Gods are not invincible! This world belongs to the Human Clan; we are the true dominators of this realm!"
"Demons too can fear! Demon Gods are not invincible!"
Anyone capable of cultivating to the level of the Devas or Martial Saint Realm would certainly not be ignorant.
They fully understood what this ant.
They also understood what the glorious victory achieved by Gu Jinlai signified.
"The will of the Supre Elder is a lighthouse illuminating our spirit, it is the direction and goal of our lifelong efforts and struggles."
Liu Feiyun sincerely expressed this sentint, with a tone full of whole-hearted admiration.
"Our Human Clan has been plunged into the darkest hour for a hundred years, suffering unprecedented humiliation, but I have always believed that one day, soone will stand up to lead our Human Clan, to lift the torch of civilization, to expel the demons, and to spread the fire seed of the Human Clan to every corner of the world!"
Ji Lie also let out a long sigh full of emotion, his gaze fixed on Gu Jinlai as he spoke.
Clearly, in his eyes, the one to lift the torch of civilization and expel the demons was none other than Gu Jinlai.
And he firmly believed that the hope of the Human Clan rested on Gu Jinlai.
"For the entire Human Clan of the Holy Dynasty, there is no better gift than this Video Stone."
Xuanzhou and Qin Se also sighed with emotion.
They were just a step away from becoming like many City Lords and high officials who, unable to see hope for the Human Clan, had lost their initial purpose and gradually beca those officials who only cared about securing their own interests and disregarded the lives and deaths of the people below.
After all, to many City Lords and Deputy City Lords, the nation was dood sooner or later; seizing enough benefits and resources before its downfall, then finding an opportunity to flee, seed the only viable path.
As for everyone else, they were bound to die, whether at his hands or those of demons didn’t make much difference.
Fortunately...
They held on.
They remained at their posts, doing their utmost duty.
Even though what they actually did was not much, they ensured they didn’t sink to the level of the corrupt.
Thus, when Gu Jinlai arrived in Liuhuo City to conduct a thorough cleansing, they survived.
And they lived to see the hope of the Human Clan of the Holy Dynasty to sweep clean the universe.
"Take action!"
Gu Jinlai commanded, "Within one month, I want these Video Stones to exist in every city!"
"Yes, sir."
Liu Feiyun, Qi Sheng, Ji Lie, and Xuanzhou responded loudly at the sa ti.
Each one full of fighting spirit, their expressions radiating with luster.
Gu Jinlai once again directed his attention to the Heavenly Shadow Instrunt, his heart filled with so anticipation.
With his spread of the battle achievents, he ignited the fighting spirit of the people and also gave the Holy Dynasty hope. In such circumstances, even if the Six Great Cave Heavens behind the Holy Dynasty were as cautious and timid as ever, they would be forced to take action.
Otherwise...
The lies they had constructed over the years would be thoroughly exposed, and they would no longer be able to maintain their stable rule over the Holy Dynasty as they could now.
Gu Jinlai pondered, looking at the numbers displayed by the Heavenly Shadow Instrunt.
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine billion, nine hundred ninety-nine million."
Clearly, this was the upper limit.
The standard reward for a Demon Emperor was around fifty billion, while so exceptional individuals could reach over a hundred billion.
Gu Jinlai had slain eleven Demon Emperors, and not a single one was weak.
Plus the Xuan Yang Demon God...
Reaching the upper limit that the Demon Slaying Order could contain was not strange at all.
"The main hall of the Demon-slaying Hall over there... or rather, the Royal Family of the Holy Dynasty must certainly have a corresponding telepathy system. With a Demon Slaying Order suddenly recording nine hundred and ninety-nine billion, ninety-nine million Contribution Value, they would definitely notice, and when they review the images from the Heavenly Shadow Instrunt and send soone to verify, they should know what has happened on my end. What cos next depends on their move."
Gu Jinlai thought to himself.
Nearly one trillion Contribution Value lying unused should naturally be put to use quickly.
Gu Jinlai searched through his Storage Treasure.
This ti, delving deep into the heart of the Demon Territory, he had exterminated eleven Demon Emperors. Leaving aside that eight of the Demon Emperor’s bodies had been completely obliterated, three had been completely preserved.
However, each of these Demon Emperor’s bodies was tens of ters long, and a storage ring simply could not accommodate them.
In addition, since he had not carried any equipnt for Collecting and preserving Demon Blood Essence, he could only return with the more valuable Demon God Remains.
"I overestimated the generosity of the Six Great Cave Heavens. The real treasures, they simply aren’t willing to part with. Although there are storage treasures available for exchange above, the ones with accommodating space still do not compare to the one I obtained from Li Yang Cave Heaven."
Gu Jinlai flipped through for a mont, and then...
He exchanged all of the nearly one trillion Contribution Value for Immortal Essence Gold.
Even at the rate of twenty million Contribution Value, the amount of Immortal Essence Gold that one trillion Contribution Value could ultimately be exchanged for would still reach an astonishing fifty thousand portions.
However, although this number was large, considering the countless valuable resources absorbed by the Holy Dynasty from all over the world over the years, they could still afford it if necessary.
And moreover...
Gu Jinlai was not afraid that they would go back on their word.
...
Just as Gu Jinlai had guessed.
The situation in the Demon-slaying Hall was indeed under surveillance, to enable the upper echelons of the Holy Dynasty to understand the situation between the civilian Demon Slayers and Demons in ti to make adjustnts.
Under such a scenario, when a Demon Slaying Order suddenly received the maximum amount of Contribution Value, the staff of the Demon-slaying Hall reported this information upward imdiately.
Duanmu Congyun, an Imperial Void Immortal of the Royal Family, quickly ca to view the situation upon receiving the news.
However, when they clearly made out the identity represented by the Demon Slaying Order, they couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
"Gu Jinlai!? The Supre Void Immortal capable of releasing Great Divine Power!? Which Demon Territory did he level this ti!? By the looks of it, at least a major territory with one or two Demon Emperors presiding!"
Duanmu Congyun quickly mobilized the highest authority of the Heavenly Shadow Instrunt, restoring the visuals of when the Contribution Value was calculated.
As he finished viewing the projected images, he was stunned on the spot.
Even as the images ceased to play, he was still unable to recover from the shock of the scene.
After a while, he jolted suddenly.
"Disaster, a disaster has unfolded, the tis are changing, a significant change is upon us."
This Void Immortal quickly recorded these images with a Video Stone and rushed towards the location of the Holy Dynasty Emperor, Duanmu Ren, with the utmost speed.
After flying for a mont, it seed as if he thought this wasn’t fast enough, and he took out a Communication Stone: "Quick! Your Majesty, my royal brother! A great disaster has occurred! Inform the Patriarch, summon the Six Great Cave Heavens’ supervisors, and initiate the ergency eting protocol!"
"A great disaster? Initiate the ergency eting protocol!?"
Duanmu Ren’s voice ca through the Communication Stone: "What happened? Could it be that the Demons’ retaliation has finally begun?"
"It’s probably more serious than the Demons’ retaliation starting."
Duanmu Congyun quickly said: "Gu Jinlai has once again ventured deep into the heart of Demon Territory, slaying eleven of the fourteen Demon Emperors ambushing him. Afterwards, one of the Eighteen Great Demon Gods, the Xuan Yang Demon God, arrived..."
As he spoke, his heart trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath: "Gu Jinlai, he has slain the Xuan Yang Demon God thirty thousand li north of Liuhuo City!"
The voice from the Communication Stone suddenly stopped.
Then, a series of rapid, heavy gasps ca through.
Finally, an abruptly loud voice rang out again: "What did you say!? How could Gu Jinlai possibly... That’s a Demon God! The Xuan Yang Demon God! Just over a decade ago, when he joined the battle, a full sixteen Void Immortals made moves and couldn’t detain him, instead, he blasted three Void Immortals to death, to this day, I still rember how it used its twelve arms to unleash a stormlike barrage of blade and sword lights, tearing those three Void Immortals to shreds..."
"I know what I’m talking about, I’m not joking, I have the complete process of that battle right in my hand. Gu Jinlai... he recorded it..."
Duanmu Congyun said.
At this ti, Duanmu Ren on the other side of the Communication Stone had also cald down.
Or rather, by then Duanmu Congyun had already arrived above the imperial palace, witnessing with his own eyes the composed Duanmu Ren.
