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.

Venerable Xuan Tian watched Immortal Wu Zhong's departing figure, his right hand tightly clutching the Sky Extreme Sword.


At this moment, he felt an unprecedented intense stirring within his heart.


To immediately draw his sword and slay Immortal Wu Zhong, all the people of Sanqing Hall, and even...


Everyone in the surrounding Lingxiao Palace under his feet.


In doing so, he could once and for all solve the issue with the high-ranking officials of Lingxiao Palace, and also severely weaken the Sanqing Hall.


And let the world know the vast saintly might of him, the Sky Extreme Sword Master, Venerable Xuan Tian.


His reason was telling him that if he really did this, his spirit would decline.


Just like he recently realized, he didn't know why he unwittingly led the battle against the True Immortal Palace and Daqian, step by step taking over state after state.
