When the Sword God’s Sword Intent erupted, Gu An glimpsed into his past through it.
During the lengthy ages, that series of peak sword battles continuously pushed the Sword God’s Sword Dao to even higher levels.
After defeating an opponent, he would devour their Sword Dao, thereby enhancing his own Sword Dao.
The Sword God raised his right hand, pointing his Sword Qi at Gu An from afar. In an instant, countless sword shadows appeared from the darkness behind him, radiating different Sword Intents like a starry sky suddenly alight. The vast sword light shone on Gu An, yet it could not expel the Demonic Qi emanating from his Celestial Dark Purple Micro Saint Dao Body.
Gu An then raised his sword, pointing the Celestial Star Sword directly at the Sword God.
As he lifted his sword, an incredibly grandiose silver sword shadow appeared behind him, rapidly solidifying, colossal as the heavens and the earth. If one were to move the Celestial Spirit Great World over, they would find it to be only half as long as this sword.
Eternal Infinite Divine Sword!
The ultimate Swordsmanship evolved from the Li Family Swordsmanship!
Gu An did not use Yang Xian’s Sacred Heart Sword Dao, fearing the Sword God would recognize it.
Even without the Sacred Heart Sword Dao, he was confident he could defeat the Sword God.
Even if they were at the same realm!
Having merged the memories of Long Zhan, Lu Han, Jue, and Yang Xian from past lives, Gu An had effectively become these individuals. Coupled with his own Lifespan Evolution investment, his strength was unfathomably profound.
Apart from the unsolvable Jue, within the same realm, Gu An felt it very unlikely for him to lose, especially since he was not in the same realm as the Sword God.
The imposing Sword Intent of the Eternal Infinite Divine Sword was like the universe’s sharpest will, causing the Sword God to furrow his brow slightly.
The Sword God did not underestimate Gu An, but he was still frightened by Gu An’s Sword Intent.
“What is the name of this Sword Dao?” the Sword God asked.
“Eternal Infinite Divine Sword.”
Gu An pointed his sword at him, and the Eternal Infinite Divine Sword in its state of simplicity and truth burst forth with a dazzling bright light, illuminating half the universe’s void.
After the Sword God muttered “Eternal Infinite Divine Sword,” he promptly waved his hand, and his Sword Qi slashed out. The endless sword shadows behind him also erupted into vast Sword Qi, sweeping toward Gu An.
Meanwhile,
The Celestial Spirit Great World had just regained sunlight and began to tremble, and the beings who had survived the calamity were once again startled, particularly the Sword Cultivators of the world and the Jianghu Swordsmen, whose swords buzzed ceaselessly as if ready to unsheathe at any moment.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch, who was pondering the Theory of Heaven, looked up in disbelief.
“What a domineering Sword Dao… and there are actually two…” he murmured to himself. His Divine Sense quickly reached out into the universe, but his Divine Sense retracted soon after, and his right hand followed to clutch his chest.
His Sword Dao had rebounded!
Had his reaction not been fast enough, his Sword Dao might very well have disintegrated.
Though he could not see the figures of Gu An and the Sword God, he could only see the two vast Sword Daos.
Even without seeing the masters of the Sword Daos, Jue Luo Sword Monarch guessed.
It must be the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable and the Sword God!

He had previously guessed that the Sword God had come to this universe, but now that the two were actually clashing, he was again astonished.
What level of achievement in Sword Dao was needed to possess such vast momentum?
The celestial phenomenon lasted for less than ten breaths, and the heavens and earth quickly returned to calm. However, the beings did not dare take it lightly and remained tense, fearing a greater catastrophe might descend.
Elsewhere,
In the woods,
Gu An sat on a rock by the stream, pulling up his Attribute Panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Life Span: 2,144/7,907,228,501]
[Physique: Primordial Infinite Body]
[Cultivation Level: Innate Golden Immortal Realm Perfection]
…
Seventy-nine billion years of life span!
Before today, his life span had only been one billion years, and now it had soared by seventy-eight billion years in one breath.
Thanks to the Battle Court!
Gu An felt grateful in his heart. It was still through killing enemies that life span came quickly. Before, he had accumulated a life span of one hundred billion years, which had taken him so many years.
However, he was just thinking about it and would not go on a killing spree as a result. The lessons from Lifespan Reincarnation were already abundant. The reason he could grow steadily to this day was that he had concealed his ability to seize life span.
He even suspected that Silent Destruction God Emperor was so obsessed with the Long Clan precisely because Long Zhan grew stronger through slaughter. Perhaps the Silent Destruction God Emperor thought that members of the Long Clan could rapidly become stronger through killing, which was why he continuously possessed the descendants of the Long Clan.
Gu An then thought of the Sword God he had just clashed with.
To prevent his identity from being exposed, Gu An had severely injured the Sword God. After the Sword God escaped, he would probably need many years to recover, but at least he would not die.
Whether it was the identity of Long Zhan or Yang Xian, Gu An did not want to expose any of them.
Lifespan Reincarnation was much more advanced than any reincarnations he had come into contact with so far. Lifespan Reincarnation could project into the past, the future, and even alter destiny, which was terrifying.
Should this matter be exposed, Gu An would undoubtedly attract the wariness of more powerful beings.
He saw the Sword God enter the River of Sword Dao and disappear.
The River of Sword Dao, the River of Destiny, the River of Time, and others were all existences independent of the universe, accessible only through the Great Dao. They were dangerous and mysterious, and whether they could lead to other universes was still hard to say. Perhaps the Sword God had come through the River of Sword Dao.
But Gu An felt that the World Gates were not for show. To cross universes, one always had to get past the Celestial Spirit God.
Time passed quickly in Gu An’s thoughts.
An hour later, all the beings of heaven and earth finally relaxed. Although they did not know what had happened, the return of tranquility to the world was a good thing.
After a little less than half an hour, Yi Xiaoliang and his four companions finally arrived at the agreed-upon location. When they saw Gu An, they were all pleasantly surprised and immediately rushed over.
Three youths burst into tears on the spot, having been scared out of their wits by the sudden darkness that had fallen over the world.
Gu An watched them with a smile and did not comfort them, letting them vent on their own.
Yi Xiaoliang turned to Gu An and asked, “Immortal, do you know why the sky suddenly darkened earlier?”
Gu An shook his head and said, “How would I know? I only know a little about the art of Immortal Cultivation. You really think I’m an Immortal? This world is much bigger than you think. It will be more interesting for you to explore on your own than to ask me.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaoliang fell into endless daydreams.
Once they had calmed down, Gu An began to teach them the method of Qi Refinement. The talents of these five were not bad; in less than half a day, all had cultivated a thread of Spiritual Power.
It was not until evening that Gu An let them go back.
Compared to their first farewell, the five felt more relaxed, believing that Gu An truly intended to teach them.
After watching them disappear into the depths of the forest, Gu An headed in the opposite direction.
With one step, he arrived thousands of miles away. This place was rarely tread by mortals, abundant in Spiritual Energy, with more plant demons than beast demons.
Gu An arrived at the top of a high mountain. He stood on the edge of a cliff, his mind moved, and he began to create the Life Span Dojo.
[Please choose the range of your Dojo]
A prompt appeared, and Gu An instantly made a decision.
He marked off an area with a radius of five thousand miles in one go.
[You will need to consume 500,000,000 years of life span. Would you like to continue?]
Five hundred million years of life span, not too bad, acceptable!
Gu An was actually afraid that this thing would consume a huge amount of life span, even an endless amount.
If that were the case, he could only give up on the Life Span Dojo.
As his thoughts concluded, he distinctly felt the space fluctuating. At the same time, a vast amount of memories flooded into his mind; he could control everything in the Dojo as easily as he could his own hands.
Moreover, he needed to store life spans in the Dojo to fend off powerful enemies. The maximum defensive strength of the Dojo equaled his Cultivation Level, and with each assault it encountered, a corresponding amount of life span would be deducted.
Gu An hesitated for a moment before storing ten billion years of life span in the Dojo.
In the Celestial Spirit Great World, there would be no one capable of attacking his Dojo. The reason he stored ten billion years of life span was just in case.
