Chapter 996: Chapter 988: Enormous Gains
It’s over!
This was the only thought in the minds of Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor. Just before their deaths, their tacit understanding also manifested in their will.
At that moment, a figure swept past Lu Lingjun, and immediately, she and the White Spirit Demon Emperor saw a cold gleam flying by, blocking the attacking evil demon.
Boom——
The disheveled female demon turned to ash in an instant, while Gu An maintained the posture of stabbing with one hand, glancing at Lu Lingjun from the corner of his eye.
“At the moment of life and death, a single lapse means stepping into the gate of hell.”
Gu An’s voice rang out, interrupting Lu Lingjun’s thoughts, and also waking up the White Spirit Demon Emperor.
Indeed, there can be no negligence now!
Lu Lingjun immediately wielded her sword, the sword array spontaneously formed, surrounding her body, countless sword shadows appeared out of thin air, attacking in the same direction.
The White Spirit Demon Emperor also changed her battle style, starting to maneuver around and taking the initiative to attack.
Next, Gu An kept close to Lu Lingjun, protecting them while harvesting life spans.
This great battle wasn’t dangerous for Gu An, but he didn’t interfere forcibly with its course, wanting to see how the Celestial Emperor would react.
Every choice the Celestial Emperor made was in his eyes, a single thought could determine a different fate for the Celestial Court.
…
Celestial Court, Palace of the Polestar.
The Celestial Emperor remained seated on the Emperor’s Throne, while Emperor Hong Yang stood nearby. The father and son looked forward, a glow suspended above the hall reflected the chaos battle scene.
In the image, the radiance belonging to the Heavenly Dao was already very weak, ready to be swallowed by the surrounding darkness.
“Do you think I should intervene?” The Celestial Emperor asked.
Emperor Hong Yang appeared young, yet his mind was long mature. He answered expressionlessly, “If everything requires Father to intervene, it means this batch of Celestial God’s chosen by the Celestial Court are not strong.”
The Celestial Emperor glanced at him, smiling slightly.
“However, if Father does not intervene, the whole Celestial Court will not appear strong in Chaos’s eyes.”
Emperor Hong Yang’s second statement caused the Celestial Emperor to squint his eyes; he didn’t reply but continued to watch the glow ahead.
After a while.
The Celestial Emperor squinted his eyes, raising his right hand with an open palm; Heavenly Dao radiance coalesced in his palm, gradually forming into a sword.
Emperor Hong Yang turned his head to look, seeing the light sword in the Celestial Emperor’s palm with curiosity.
He could feel the sword contained unfathomable power, stronger than any power he had ever seen, making his heart race, impulsively wanting to possess it.
Meanwhile.
In the chaos battlefield, Gu An fought while looking into the dark depths, sensing a power beyond the Marshal of Heaven approaching.
Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal!
Gu An slightly smiled, maintaining his offense.
“Is the limit of the Celestial Court’s Marshal of Heaven only here? Then you are far inferior to past Celestial Generals.”
A majestic, hoarse voice echoed in the chaos void, scaring countless evil demons like startled birds, causing Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to turn towards the voice’s direction.
The Marshal of Heaven did the same, his face becoming terribly grim.
He could feel the opponent’s overwhelming aura; he was no match.
The Endless Demon Immortal from Cangming emerged from the darkness, his imposing figure gradually revealed, seemingly enveloped in flames sketching his form, just looking at him left the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals feeling an insurmountable pressure.
Suddenly!
A strong light illuminated from behind the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; they turned to see a Heavenly Dao strong light, followed by a giant sword shining with silver light speeding along the dark depths, dispelling darkness along its way.
Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor widened their eyes, subconsciously opening their mouths in disbelief.
With the arrival of the giant sword, the mana of all Heavenly Soldiers and Generals began to restore rapidly, invigorating the exhausted Immortal Gods to surge with stronger fighting spirit.
The Celestial Court hasn’t abandoned them!
Gu An gazed at the giant sword with deep intentions; he retreated, watching it head towards the Endless Demon Immortal.
…
Dusk.
Gu An returned to the courtyard of Mountain of No End in a good mood, still humming a tune.
He walked while bringing up the attribute panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Life Span: 663,002,203/6,246,589,537,753,246,709,553]
[Physique: Creation Eternal Life]
[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage of Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm]
…
trillion years of life span!
Huge harvest!
In a few days, he could find a place to break through, potentially reaching Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm Perfection, though he felt unprepared to challenge a higher realm for now.
He closed the attribute panel, recalling the previous battle with amusement.
After the giant sword killed the Endless Demon Immortal, the Lord of Cangming, Extreme Nether Emperor, was startled; he and the Celestial Emperor covertly clashed, ending in a draw, concluding the battle between the Celestial Army and Cangming evil demons.
The covert clash filled Extreme Nether Emperor with apprehension towards the Celestial Emperor, yet also a hint of eagerness.
He hadn’t expected the new Celestial Emperor to mature so quickly, but fortunately, the gap wasn’t vast. Compared to previous battles with other Celestial Emperors, at least this time wasn’t despairing.
Extreme Nether Emperor was born in Cangming but had never stepped into the Heavenly Dao, cultivating in chaos with great perseverance breaking limits, proving himself as the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, becoming the strongest in Cangming.
Reaching this level made him understand why the Celestial Emperor was so powerful.
For this reason, he retained apprehension towards the earlier Celestial Emperor who had stepped into the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, constantly sending pawns into the Heavenly Dao while allying chaos’s other Daoist Lineages.
This encounter also stirred slight apprehension in the Celestial Emperor towards Extreme Nether Emperor, but only a little.
Already at Ultimate Merging Dao Venerable Emperor Realm Perfection, the Celestial Emperor now focused more on proving the Dao and achieving Sainthood.
In the courtyard where Shen Zhen was playing the zither, she noticed Gu An and saw his good mood, prompting her to ask, “What’s making you so happy?”
“Nothing, today I saw two children fighting at a village entrance. It was amusing, reminding me of my childhood.”
Gu An casually replied, walking straight towards his house.
Shen Zhen watched him enter the house, muttering, “Children? Probably two supreme powerhouses in combat, right?”
She didn’t dwell on it, as Gu An often behaved this way; if he wouldn’t elaborate, she wouldn’t ask further.
The next morning, Gu An left his house, first picking ripe medicinal herbs before spending half a day on Inch Island.
Another day passed, and he left Central Heaven.
About an hour later, Central Heaven began trembling, the Celestial Dao Light Layer enveloping it rippled, Immortal Gods appeared at Outer Heaven, gazing with fear as they sensed an indescribable vast aura causing their Dao Fruits to operate uncontrollably.
What’s happening?
The Immortal Gods were full of fear, unable to understand the source of this anomaly.
