Holy Minister broke through, Annihilation God Emperor descended!
Gu An recalculated the momentum of Great Heavenly Spirit Land and found that the future became blurred, many things could not be thoroughly predicted.
Most critically, Gu An was unclear about the purpose of the Annihilation God Emperor’s visit to the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.
Long Zhan was from an era far distant from his own, with the Battle Court he established becoming ancient legend, making the Annihilation God Emperor only stronger than before; how could he not be wary?
Even if this presence of the Annihilation God Emperor was just the aura of the Free Immortal, Gu An believed that his true form would be an incredibly tricky existence.
Under Gu An’s watch, the meteorite carrying the aura of the Annihilation God Emperor rapidly approached the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.
The powerful beings within the Great Heavenly Spirit Land were also alarmed by the Annihilation God Emperor, all using Divine Thought and Divine Sense to probe, but no one dared to obstruct the Annihilation God Emperor.
Within the Holy Land of the Holy Court, vast heavenly thunder covered tens of thousands of miles of sky, the Holy Minister amidst the tribulation looked up, his eyes revealing a wary expression.
He knew his crossing of tribulation would bring trouble, but he had not expected such a powerful being to come!
The aura of the Annihilation God Emperor reminded him of the Primordial Immortal King from before, he cursed the heavens for being unfair, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and break through.
Once the heavenly tribulation began, there was no turning back, either die or succeed in crossing!
He leveraged the Qi Fortune of the Holy Court to breakthrough, he could not afford to lose, because if he failed, the entire Holy Court would suffer greatly, Qi Fortune connecting every living being of the court.
Rings upon rings of grand formations guarded the Holy Minister, dazzling and emitting vast and infinite pressure, countering the Heavenly Might, stirring chaos in the Heaven and Earth Rules, which also caused the surrounding mountains and oceans of the Holy Court to trigger cataclysms.
Under the Holy Minister’s gaze, a meteor streaked across the sky, the celestial thunder unable to obscure the meteor’s brilliance.
At this moment, not only the Holy Minister saw the meteor, Great Cultivators and demons from various powers across the land also saw it.
Inside Ye Mansion.
Ye Lan also saw the meteor crossing the horizon, and for some reason, she felt an unexplained palpitation.
She couldn’t help but look towards Gu An and asked, “Did you see that meteor just now?”
Gu An nodded, said, “Did you make a wish?”
Ye Lan gave him a glance, a worried expression across her brow, said, “At that moment just now, I was inexplicably scared. Could it be another demon from Outer Heaven descending?”
Gu An chuckled and said, “What’s there to fear, when has the Supreme Sect ever encountered such calamity? I’ve always felt quite at peace; the danger lies in the overseas realms.”
“That’s not the right way to think, we can’t always rely on others, the Sword Venerable Fudao will leave eventually,” Ye Lan shook her head.
Gu An offered comfort, said, “I am the Sword Venerable Fudao, don’t worry.”
She laughed upon hearing this, said, “Really? Then can senior teach me Divine Skills?”
“It’s not impossible, say something nice.”
“Want to hear something nice?”
Ye Lan gave Gu An a flirtatious smile, then stood up and walked towards him.
Gu An hurriedly raised his hand and said, “I was joking.”
“Humph, I took it seriously!”
…
Boom—
The meteor, enshrouded in blazing flames, shattered the sea of clouds, crashing down upon the mountains with terrifying momentum, instantly crushing miles of mountains and forests, bright light bursting forth, rolling dust rose into the air, like a massive wall of dust pushing towards the distance, destroying everything in its path.
The earth shook and trembled, as if it were the apocalypse.
As this force spread to the horizon, terrifying waves of flame emerged at the center of the explosion, seeming to burst through the sky.
This power from beyond wreaked havoc on all upon the land, merciless and brutally cruel.
After an unknown period.
The roaring between heaven and earth ceased, but the rolling dust continued to churn, just without its former intensity.
A figure stepped out from the dust, clad in a black robe overlaid with black scale armor shimmering with a cold light, he wore a fierce helmet with two horn-like blades pointing to the sky, below the helmet there was no face, only pitch blackness, akin to a lifeless black hole.
With each step, the gravel beneath his feet turned to dust, the surface revealed magma patterns, terribly fearsome.
He stopped walking, looked up, still pitch black under the helmet, without eyes, it was unclear what he was looking at, or perhaps what he was sensing.
He shifted his left foot to the side, instantly dispersing the dust between heaven and earth, revealing the wounded land, shocking to behold, he stood within a massive crater, over a hundred miles wide, outside the crater, the land was littered with rocks and crevices, barren and desolate.
Not just the dust on the land, even the sky suddenly cleared.
The Annihilation God Emperor turned his head towards the distance, after looking for several moments, he turned and walked away, with one step, his figure shifted millions of miles.
The land was boundlessly vast, he took five continuous steps and still had not reached the edge of the continent.
He arrived at a cliff, where the area was still trembling. Following his gaze downward, a city below the cliff was collapsing, and the mortals were wailing and crying, their misery extreme.
The Annihilation God Emperor remained silent for a while, then suddenly waved his sleeve, and the earth regained its calm. Pieces of rubble and wooden pillars rose and flew toward the distance. Discover more content at empire
After doing all this, he disappeared on the cliff.
The cries beneath the cliff abruptly ceased, and the whole world fell into silence.
…
In the evening, Gu An entered the Third Medicine Valley, watching the Annihilation God Emperor travel the other side of the world, temporarily unable to discern his purpose.
The Annihilation God Emperor did not head toward the Holy Court, indicating that he was not attracted by the Holy Minister’s tribulation. He seemed more like he was searching for something.
Perhaps it was no coincidence, fearing the Holy Minister’s tribulation might affect what he was seeking.
As soon as Gu An entered the valley, Long Qing hurried over, his face eager to please, expressing concern and warmth.
“Get lost. If you can’t comprehend, it means the time isn’t right, and your mindset is still not stable,”
Gu An glared at Long Qing and said thus.
Within the Supreme Sect, many believed Gu An was a disciple of Sword Venerable Fudao, but many disciples within the Third Medicine Valley, including Long Qing, thought Gu An was Sword Venerable Fudao himself.
This was also confirmed by Shen Xinzi, who now showed extreme respect for Gu An, entirely in the manner of a junior.
“How long must I wait? Why do I have to wait?” Long Qing asked indignantly.
Gu An suddenly thought of something.
Could it be that the Annihilation God Emperor was here for Long Qing?
It was very likely!
Gu An said sternly, “You already know your physique is special, can’t you guess that you might be carrying a significant cause and effect? If you don’t settle down, you’ll face great trouble, and even I won’t be able to protect you, possibly not even the whole world.”
His tone was severe, causing Long Qing to be stunned.
As Long Qing reflected on Gu An’s words, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy and panicked.
Gu An was influencing his emotions with his Daoist Intent.
He had to scare the young man!
Without absolute certainty, Gu An dared not let Long Qing reveal his true identity.
The cause and effect of the Dragon Clan were too significant, likely to draw the real body of the Annihilation God Emperor and the current Battle Court.
Long Qing’s expression shifted uncertainly, but Gu An did not continue to frighten him and instead walked past him.
Just a few steps away, An Xin arrived, reporting that some disciples were fighting and needed his intervention.
Hearing the names of the fighters, Gu An understood why An Xin had to seek him out.
Two geniuses!
Ranked among the top in talent within the valley, they had not yet completed their training, but already Great Cultivators and notable families were trying to recruit them.
It’s typical of geniuses; they tend to be arrogant, and when arrogant individuals meet, conflicts are inevitable.
Gu An followed An Xin, not feeling troubled, his thoughts still on the Annihilation God Emperor.
The setting sun was like blood, but it didn’t add a touch of tragedy over Third Medicine Valley; it was still full of vitality.
…
The Holy Minister’s tribulation eventually led to a great battle, with the Immortal Dynasty, Xuanyou Divine Dynasty, Sky Demon Great Sect, and a few forces bearing grudges against the Holy Court all attacking together.
The battle was spectacular, prompting even Gu An to watch.
Despite the perilous process and countless casualties, the Holy Court survived the ordeal, and in the end, the Holy Minister made a breakthrough and even fought a great battle with Yang Xian Emperor.
Although the Holy Minister was a civilian official, his combat strength was formidable, able to hold his ground against the Yang Xian Emperor, which surprised Gu An.
The Yang Xian Emperor did not entangle further, otherwise, his alliance with the Xuanyou Divine Dynasty and the Sky Demon Great Sect’s Free Immortal might have been able to eliminate the Holy Minister.
This battle passed, but it also laid down a greater cause of trouble for the future.
Thus, Great Heavenly Spirit Land welcomed a brief period of peace.
Eight years quickly passed.
One day, Gu An, accompanied by An Xin and Blood Prison Great Saint, arrived at Tianya Valley; Lv Xian had unexpectedly returned, specifically to seek out Gu An.
Before meeting with Lv Xian, Gu An collected medicinal herbs first.
Lv Xian took him into his cave and, after activating the cave’s restrictions, asked nervously, “Are you Sword Venerable Fudao?”
