By the coast, a hundred-meter Star Gate shimmered with flowing light.
Beyond the Star Gate, an army forged of steel stretched as far as the eye could see.
Above the Sky Dome, squadrons of fighter jets streaked across, weaving an iron curtain.
In the distant ocean, scores of aircraft carriers, destroyers, and frigates dotted the seascape, ready for action.
All cannons were aimed at the figure who emerged from the Star Gate.
"In the name of the Federation Command Center, I order you to stand down, or what awaits you is total war," said the voice.
"War?"

Gu Jinlai took a step forward, and his form swelled against the wind, in an instant growing from less than two meters tall to a colossal Chaos Demon God thousands of kilometers high, emitting the brilliance of a white dwarf star from his being, his own gravity causing thunder and lightning, as well as tsunamis and tides within a thousand-mile radius.
He looked down...
At the war weapons that seemed like toys.
He reached out, and a hydrogen bomb fell into his hand.

Within him, the electron-degenerate star core released Helium, Helium elements expanded, and the terrifying high temperature instantly caused Deuterium and Tritium, Hydrogen's isotopes, to fuse, the energy bursting forth, forming a blazing white brilliance on the ocean's surface that was like igniting a sun.
Before this sun's energy could be released, he clapped his hands together, and the dazzling white, mixed with heat in the billions of degrees, was compressed and sealed within his palms, not a fragment escaping.

"I think, you should choose peace." he suggested.

"He escaped!? But... You are a Daoist Master, summoning a strike from the Geng Metal Heavenly Dao with the power of Cave Heaven failed to slay him... Could he possibly be an Immortal Master who has infused the Heavenly Dao into his body!?"


Daoist Xuan Jian said, pausing for a moment, adding, "The feeling he gave me... It's somewhat similar to the long-extinct Innate Divine Beasts... and he seems to be one of the stronger ones."


As he spoke, he affirmed his speculation, "Either he has embarked on the most ancient Innate Sacred Path, or, like you once did, Riyi, after becoming one of the Strongest True Immortals, he also got the corpse of an Innate Sacred and refined it into his body. However, the Innate Sacred Corpse he obtained must be even stronger—probably one of the most powerful and ancient ones."
