Chapter 430: Ascension, Full-Fledged Golden Immortal!
There was silence everywhere.
Fear could be seen in the eyes of the many Golden Immortals.
Another Golden Immortal had fallen.
Counting in the Golden Immortal that had been killed when Jiang He threw his Strengthened Heavenly Thunderbolt Atomic Hand Grenades nonchalantly, there were now three Golden Immortals killed.
This has exceeded the limits of their imagination.
Their plan was to gather Golden Immortals, True Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals, hence a.s.sembling an legion of elites that amounted to millions or even billions. They would then head directly to the humans homeworld and overwhelm it with superior power.
According to their intelligence reports, there were only a dozen Golden Immortals who had returned to the humans’ homeworld, along with around a hundred True Immortals and around three hundred Heavenly Immortals. Even if there were other measures kept in place, the humans’ homeworld would only possess that much strength, and definitely would be unable to repel the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance.
However...
The legion was not even fully a.s.sembled!
Somehow, a human who was a True Immortal suicidal warrior came out of nowhere... no, he definitely was not human!
“What the h.e.l.l is happening?”
“Can someone actually tell me what actually happened?”
“Do humans become full-fledged Golden Immortal right away after they survive the Longevity Retribution?”
“He should not be that overwhelming powerful even if he is full-fledged Golden Immortal! He killed Shadow Edge with a single swing of his sword, and he would not lose out to Grand Luo with that power of his...”
They all turned toward the champions of G.o.ds and Demons.
There were seven Demons who had gone on the expedition to Earth. Each of their auras were powerful, and they were all peak level Golden Immortals. The strongest of them was a burly three-meter-tall individual, carrying a pitch-black war hammer.
Demonic Qi swirled around him, and the might of his aura would not lose out to the White Sky G.o.d King.
And yet, not many were aware of their t.i.tle.
The six other Golden Immortal Demons did not know much about their fellow clan member, only that he was a disciple groomed by one of their founders and equal in rank to their many Demon Kings, and would not lose to them even if he did not have their rank.
Demon Kings were equal in strength to G.o.d Kings and Grand Luo humans.
Looking at the White Sky G.o.d King, he smiled, “White Sky, do you want to go, or should I?”
The silver-haired, white-robed White Sky G.o.d King took a long look at the burly Demon and said, “I know you. You’re Modolo, the personal disciple of the Demon Ancestor. The outside world does not know much about you, but I do know that you once fought a lesser race’s Grand Luo only to get maimed. Still, you survived, and that Grand Luo was injured grievously as well.”
The burly Demon did not appear surprised.
Others aside, the lesser race that the White Sky G.o.d King had spoken of was va.s.sal of the G.o.ds.
Around them, the many Golden Immortals were stunned and looked toward Modolo.
The Bright Sky G.o.d King smiled nonchalantly. “It seems that everyone is curious about you, Brother Modolo... why don’t you show everyone what you’re capable of and take down that elite human?”
“Good!”
Modolo spoke, reaching out to grasp the giant axe over his axe while saying, “If that’s so, I shall...”
Swish!
Even before he could finish, he saw a thundersword flash tear through the skies and land on a Golden Immortal of a lesser clan.
Although that Golden Immortal of the lesser clan was already Golden Immortal-advanced, his combat ability was lacking compared to the Golden Immortals of stronger races, and lost out in both cultivation techniques and mystic treasures as well.
Though he had resisted as best as he could, he could not stop the sword strike.
Another Golden Immortal Dao materialized. Severed and crumbled, it soon died.
Even before it utterly crumbled, the thundersword cut down on another dozen of True Immortals as well.
With the Primordial Bell over his head and Golden Radiance sword in his grasp, Jiang He was laughing coldly without end as he said, “What a bunch of idiots. You’re going to die, and yet you would still put on airs, even discussing who would be the one to fight me?”
He turned towards Modolo and flatly said, “Are you really in such a rush to die, you big oaf?”
“Come on!”
Jiang He’s voice become louder as he barked, “I’ll give you a chance and send you to h.e.l.l!”
Furious, Demonic Qi instantly erupted around Modolo. War axe in hand, he dashed across outer s.p.a.ce and charged toward Jiang He.
Spatial rifts split open where his feet landed.
A giant axe silhouette tore through the skies as he cut down at Jiang He.
Jiang He attacked, cutting through the axe silhouette while twitching slightly in surprise. “Impressive. That axe carries power that could match my full-power blow... could it be a premium-grade soul treasure?”
“You’re able to stop my blow? You have what it takes to let me know your name!”
After swinging his axe, Modolo did not press his attack and instead growled, “Speak your name, Golden Immortal human—Modolo’s axe does not strike those without a name.”
Heh.
Sneering, Jiang He replied, “You’re not much in ability, but your mouth is big.”
Swish!
He attacked first, the dimensions crumbling as his sword moved, thunder radiance flashing as he cut down at Modolo.
The demon casted a secret technique to protect himself.
Demonic Qi around his body rapidly withdrew and turned into an armor wrapping around his body. It was one of the most profound of defensive techniques, conjuring an armor with one’s own Demonic Qi that possessed incredible guarding abilities.
Modolo was incredibly accomplished in that G.o.dly skill, and the armor materializing from Demonic Qi absolutely would not lose out to an inferior-grade defensive soul treasure.
Crunch.
With a crisp sound, Jiang He’s sword tore through the Demonic Qi armor.
Under the Demonic Qi armor, Modolo had a premium-grade immortal armor as well.
Jiang He’s sword strike had lost plenty of momentum after tearing through the armor, and it could not pierce the premium-grade immortal armor at all, not to mention that Modolo had a burly figure and a strong physique.
That was why even Jiang He’s current full power could hardly inflict actual physical damage on Modolo.
However, Jiang He’s sword strike was not limited to the physical.
“Eh?”
Modolo’s face changed involuntarily even as he braced the sword strike.
A strand of Demonic Qi that resided deep within the sea of his consciousness abruptly appeared, blocking the little sword that was almost formless and weightless.
“What a powerful spiritual strike!”
Modola was stunned.
This Golden Immortal human actually possessed such a powerful secret Yuan Spirit technique?
If the Demon Ancestor had not kept a strand of Demonic Qi to protect his soul within Modolo’s sea of consciousness, that sword strike would have staggered his spirit and cause some extent of damage on his soul.
“What?”
Jiang He’s eyes narrowed.
His sword was useless?
This was already his full-powered strike!
“This fellow must have powerful roots, and he himself is powerful and possess many treasures... trying to kill him would be difficult!”
“If I can’t kill him quickly, once the Golden Immortals work together...’
Jiang He’s expression appeared horrid.
Ever since he started out, he would kill his opponents within a handful of strikes. Had it ever been this troublesome?
He then turned toward the living planet, which was more than five thousand kilometers in diameter and where the legion of dozen millions had gathered.

Meanwhile, at the celestial battlefield deep within a grand mountain, in a palace of the foxes, the many Golden Immortal Foxes had convened, with two of their clan’s Grand Luos present.
One of the Grand Luos spoke, calling out the t.i.tles of six Golden Immortal foxes and saying, “The homeworld has now been unsealed, and news of it has leaked. The Hundred Races have forged another alliance in another attempt to conquer it. As such, pick a hundred True Immortals and a thousand Heavenly Immortals to defend the homeworld alongside the elites of other factions.”
Pausing, the Grand Luo Fox’s tone changed and coolly swore, “And once you reach the homeworld, find that human who killed our elder and disciples. Return with his head and his soul!”
