Chapter 994: Chapter 986: Why Is It You
Lu Lingjun stood above the clouds, the White Spirit Demon Emperor curled up on her shoulder. She wore silver armor, her long hair tied at the back, raised high, exuding an aura of heroism.
On her left and right sides, as well as behind her, stood countless figures clad in silver armor, all of them Heavenly Soldiers.
Indeed, the current Lu Lingjun had already become a Heavenly Soldier.
Without the guidance of a Supreme Immortal, without passing the Heavenly Dao’s assessment, the best way to ascend to immortality was to participate in the Celestial Army’s selection. Lu Lingjun had successfully passed the selection and, through a series of assessments, had become a true Celestial God.
From ascending to Central Heaven to becoming an immortal, Lu Lingjun had experienced countless trials and battles; she had long since transformed.
The Celestial Army she belonged to was about to face a great battle. She felt neither nervous nor excited, only calm.
The Celestial Army she joined wasn’t ordinary; it could be considered the elite of the Celestial Court, with the cultivation levels of its ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers being no less than that of Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortals.
Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortals were already enough to become Celestial Gods, but they were still willing to be Heavenly Soldiers in battle because they were accumulating merit.
For the current Celestial Court, battling the Chaos and Underworld was an easier way to accumulate achievements, while slaying demons within the realms under the Celestial Court yielded lesser achievements due to controlled risks.
The Celestial Army Lu Lingjun was in afforded every Heavenly Soldier the chance to become an Immortal Monarch, as long as they could survive.
At this moment, the celestial cloud beneath her was carrying them toward Chaos, and the closer they got to Chaos, the stronger her unease grew.
This mission was undoubtedly different from the past!
The White Spirit Demon Emperor sensed her emotions and offered comfort, “Don’t worry, our Celestial Army is not simple.”
Lu Lingjun glanced at it and said, “For us, being a little tense is better.”
The White Spirit Demon Emperor flicked its forked tongue, seemingly laughing.
Looking around, besides Lu Lingjun, there were other Immortal Gods with demon pets or mounts; some Heavenly Soldiers were colossal, standing like mountains in the back.
“Indeed, I’m nearly dying of nerves.”
A voice came from behind Lu Lingjun. She immediately used her divine sense to look back, and her expression became quite colorful.
The White Spirit Demon Emperor turned around and shivered as if seeing a ghost.
“Why is it you?”
The White Spirit Demon Emperor cried out in astonishment, drawing the eyes of the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers of Go toward them.
Gu An, clad in silver armor, hastily reminded, “Keep your voice down, don’t forget the Celestial Rules.”
The White Spirit Demon Emperor stared at him blankly, while Lu Lingjun’s body visibly tensed.
Gu An wore the standard battle silver armor of a Heavenly Soldier, his long hair flowing back from his headpiece. His bearing was like that of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals—erect and spirited, matching his exceedingly handsome face, making it hard for anyone to look away after a glance.
“Why are you here?”
Lu Lingjun asked, struggling to suppress her excitement, her mind full of confusion.
Could Gu An only serve as a Heavenly Soldier?
Thinking of Gu An’s disguise at the Supreme Sect, it made sense again.
Such was something he would do.
“I’ve long been an Immortal God; it’s normal for me to be here,” Gu An casually replied.
He intentionally donned an odd expression, saying, “But you’ve grown fast!”
The White Spirit Demon Emperor sneered, “Stop pretending; you surely know about us.”
That said, it grew tense again.
The person before them was extraordinary, one who could protect a realm within the Great Thousand World under the onslaught of the Immortal Gods’ army.
And it’s said that the reversal in the struggle for the Son of Heaven was also due to Ancestor Master Wushi!
After arriving in Central Heaven, the White Spirit Demon Emperor and Lu Lingjun always felt that their ability to turn danger into safety was due to Gu An’s assistance behind the scenes.
The more the White Spirit Demon Emperor thought, the more nervous it became, fearing to offend Gu An.
Gu An smiled, “Alright, let’s continue waiting, we’ll soon be fighting shoulder to shoulder.”
He had come to this Celestial Army under his own identity; he had already created one, and he would follow this Celestial Army into battle, harvesting life spans.
He had previously seen Lu Lingjun’s destiny; this Celestial Army would face arduous battles, with barely one in ten surviving, eventually leading to defeat. As a result, the Celestial Court would launch another defensive war, facing the invading forces of Chaos.
When the Celestial Court focused its power on external enemies, internal governance would loosen, giving opportunities to all living beings, allowing ambitious individuals to rise amid chaos.
The coming times would be dark yet full of opportunities!
Lu Lingjun stood in front of Gu An, her mind in turmoil. She couldn’t help but wonder if Gu An’s appearance was for her.
One thing was certain; the upcoming battle would be extraordinarily dangerous, so much so that it compelled Gu An to take action personally.
Just as Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor were lost in thought, a golden light descended from the heavens, landing before them. The strong wind roared, stirring the sea of clouds, blowing the garments beneath the Heavenly Soldiers’ armor.
From the immense golden light, a figure gradually emerged.
It was a Celestial God clad in heavy golden armor, wielding an extraordinarily exaggerated saber, with a black qilin standing on each side, their bodies ablaze, roaring independently, making the expressions of the ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers become solemn.
This Celestial God was none other than the Marshal of Heaven, who once swept across the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
He surveyed the ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, his gaze filled with oppression.
“Everyone, we have already ventured deep into Chaos. Outside the barrier, countless evil demons are eyeing us greedily. Once the barrier opens, we will be plunged into a do-or-die battle. These evil demons will devour Celestial Dao Destiny, meaning the Celestial Dao Destiny on us will no longer protect us from resurrection. We must fight with all our might!”
The Marshal of Heaven’s voice boomed, like heavenly thunder, causing most of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals’ expressions to change.
Unable to be resurrected, their inner confidence would be greatly diminished.
No one felt cowardly because of this; they merely adjusted their mindset, preparing to fight to the death.
Every Heavenly Soldier capable of joining this Celestial Army was the supreme force of their world, geniuses not seen in millennia; they had ambitions that other Immortal Gods couldn’t compare to. The stronger the enemy, the more dangerous the war, the more excited they became, as it heralded greater achievements.
Lu Lingjun, already mentally prepared, wasn’t panicked, only her eyes turned cold.
The Marshal of Heaven turned around, pointed his saber forward. The blue sky ahead suddenly shattered, revealing a massive black hole, spiritual energy within the barrier rushing outward. Within the black hole, countless black shadows floated, their sizes varied, all emitting a red glow as if their eyes radiated murderous intent.
The Marshal of Heaven roared and charged forward, followed closely by the two black qilins, their figures intertwined, swift as the wind.
“Kill——”
The ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals shouted in unison, transforming into countless golden lights as they charged. In almost an instant, they reached Chaos, plunging into darkness. They saw the number of evil demons multiply, with endless demons from all directions.
Seeing the Celestial Army emerge from Celestial Dao Destiny, all the evil demons went berserk, roaring and charging, like black tidal waves, engulfing the Celestial Army. But soon, streams of golden light burst forth from the darkness, illuminating, obliterating one evil demon after another.
