Chapter 1035: Chapter 1027: Destined Calamity
In the dark red void, the Cangming Genesis Tree continued to stretch out endlessly, its height immeasurable by sight.
On its massive branches, figures of various sizes were advancing quickly, their size differences exceeding ten thousandfold. They navigated through cosmic whirlpools, all heading in the same direction.
Great Emperor Jiming Cang led at the front, gazing ahead with Gu An’s figure reflected in his eyes.
The dark red demon beast on his shoulder stared intently at Gu An, its fur bristling as if facing a formidable enemy.
Faced with Great Emperor Jiming Cang’s inquiry, Gu An remained silent, a response that clearly conveyed his stance.
An unavoidable battle was at hand!
Though Gu An’s annihilation of the giant corpse had shocked Great Emperor Jiming Cang, he felt no desire to retreat. He truly had no retreat; he sensed that the opponent had already locked onto the Cangming Genesis Tree. Indeed, that was the case.
He could flee, but his Daoist lineage could not.
Before abandoning his Daoist lineage, he had to fight with all his might.
Moreover, he held a glimmer of hope for victory.
Figures dropped from the branches above, landing behind Great Emperor Jiming Cang and advancing with him.
From the far end of the void, over ten thousand Immortal Gods were approaching. As they advanced, they fell into formation, with Heavenly Dao light intensifying upon them.
Regrettably, even so, the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army was like the light of a rice grain approaching Mount Tai in the darkness, vastly outmatched in every aspect, as if the battle’s outcome was predetermined before it began.
“Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, I’m here to assist you!”
A robust voice rang out, followed by a figure appearing beside Gu An. As the light dissipated, it revealed a tall man in a gold and white robe.
He wore an ornate crown, and the Heavenly Dao golden light on him was more dazzling than that of all the Immortal Gods in the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army.
He unabashedly showcased the aura of Celestial Dao Venerable, illuminating half the void, revealing part of the Cangming Genesis Tree. Though only partial, it dispelled some fears in the hearts of the Immortal Gods, boosting their fighting spirit.
Gu An glanced at the Celestial Dao Venerable beside him, but said nothing.
This Celestial Dao Venerable was known as Absolute Thought Heavenly Venerable, a rather active Supreme in the Celestial Court, frequently taking action.
Despite Gu An’s lack of acknowledgment, Absolute Thought Heavenly Venerable wasn’t upset, perhaps feeling embarrassed himself for having been intimidated by that giant corpse earlier.
Now he couldn’t concern himself with Gu An’s disrespect; he solely aspired to vanquish Cangming, aiming for unprecedented achievement.
Gu An’s power inspired hope in him!
Great Emperor Jiming Cang recognized Absolute Thought Heavenly Venerable, his brow furrowing once more as he raised his right hand and waved it forward. Countless figures rose behind him, shooting towards the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army like a rain of black arrows.
This rain of arrows dispersed, each figure conjuring divine skills with immense momentum.
Cangming, like Heavenly Dao, had its own myriad worlds, history, rules, and diverse races practicing immortal cultivation to seek longevity.
To them, Heavenly Dao was an archenemy. Heavenly Tao creatures were seen as outer demons, devouring the Path of Devouring; once the Great Dao perished, they too would cease to exist.
In their eyes, Heavenly Dao was even more wicked, while in the eyes of Heavenly Dao beings, Chaos Evil Demons were mere dangers.
Absolute Thought Heavenly Venerable raised his right hand, instantly causing a giant mountain phantom to appear above the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army, emitting endless golden light. A mighty river flowed atop the mountain, with the sun and moon orbiting it, charging forward with overwhelming heavenly might, surpassing even the divine skills of other Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Even against the Cangming Genesis Tree, it posed a significant threat.
The void trembled as the river scattered the Cangming army, sweeping towards the Cangming Genesis Tree.
The grand war fully erupted!
Figures emerged from all directions in the darkness, surrounding the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army; enemies didn’t only reside on the Cangming Genesis Tree.
Though frightened, the Immortal Gods didn’t abandon the fight.
Lu Lingjun and White Spirit Demon Emperor were quickly engulfed in the encirclement, positioned far from Gu An and unable to hope for his protection at all times. They remained on high alert, unwilling to let their guard down.
Gu An didn’t look back as he advanced in the air, drawing the Cyan Hong Sword.
With a single step, he appeared before Great Emperor Jiming Cang, above whom countless Cangming cultivators soared by.
Great Emperor Jiming Cang’s pupils dilated, clearly not expecting Gu An to arrive so swiftly. The dark red demon beast on his shoulder bristled, instinctively lunging towards Gu An.
Gu An swung his sword, unleashing a sweeping Sword Qi that shattered both Great Emperor Jiming Cang and the dark red demon beast into pieces. The Sword Qi sliced across the branch’s surface, cleaving through all obstacles in its path until it struck the tree trunk.
The nearby Cangming cultivators were stunned until Great Emperor Jiming Cang’s angry voice resonated:
“Form up, surround him!”
Cangming cultivators had believed Great Emperor Jiming Cang was slain in an instant by Gu An. Hearing his voice now brought them back to reality.
How could someone of the heavens be so easily killed?
Cangming cultivators immediately charged at Gu An. Gu An advanced step by step, his eyes flickering.
With nearly every step he took, he shattered countless Illusion Realms – divine skills of the Cangming cultivators.
His figure flitted about, appearing on branch after branch, where Cangming cultivators were relentlessly slain, none able to withstand a single sword strike.

…
Notifications continually appeared before Gu An. Those daring to assault him had the lowest cultivation level of Miaozhen Daluo Immortal; lower realms either fled in fear or charged at the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army.
Just as Great Emperor Jiming Cang reformed his body, Absolute Thought Heavenly Venerable charged, wielding a Great Cauldron shrouded in the River of Time.
Gu An had spared him, precisely saving him for Absolute Thought Heavenly Venerable.
Of course, Absolute Thought Heavenly Venerable could never be a match for Great Emperor Jiming Cang, and Gu An would ultimately have to finish him off.
This battle wouldn’t end quickly; Gu An intentionally delayed, savoring the combat.
His figure kept flickering, each time appearing with a different sword technique posture.
The Great Cultivators from Cangming didn’t even have time to perform divine skills or secret techniques, or were in the midst of doing so when Gu An forcefully broke through, extinguishing them with a single sword strike.
The branches Gu An traversed turned to ash; he relentlessly approached the Cangming Genesis Tree, gradually sensing danger radiating from it. From the myriad universes displayed on its branches, beams of light erupted, all aimed at Gu An.
Among these beams, figures appeared, arriving from the past and the future, all guided by the Great Dao to cut down the tribulation destined for them.
And this tribulation was Gu An.
