Chapter 550: Chapter 547: The Sky is Falling
“After Nirvana, the stages are: Loose Immortal, Wandering Immortal, Celestial and Earthly Immortals, Carefree Primordial Immortal, Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma, Dao Void Profound Immortal, Divine Thought True Immortal, and Free Immortal,” Gu An’s voice floated towards everyone, their eyes widened in awe.
Gu An, fearing they hadn’t understood clearly enough, added, “Although Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal and Profound Yuan Free Immortal are still considered Free Immortals, the gap between each level far surpasses the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Path. Once one reaches Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal, they will cultivate a Dao Fruit, the so-called Dao Fruit…”
At this point, he stopped and turned his head to look towards the mysterious giant fruit on the horizon.
Dao Fruit…
Chen Chuan couldn’t help but ask, “Master, could this Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit possibly be a Cultivator’s Dao Fruit?”
The others all looked at Gu An, extremely tense, awaiting his answer.
…
Gu An replied, “Yes, the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit is indeed a Cultivator’s Dao Fruit, and the catastrophe of heaven and earth is brought by the enemies who slew him.”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, turning to look at the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit that was still growing, feeling more powerless than ever.
How many years of cultivation would it take to reach such heights, yet such a being could still be killed…
They couldn’t fathom what the entity capable of slaying the creator of heaven and earth would be like.
But they knew one thing.
The sky was falling!
Shen Zhen looked at the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit with a strong urge to paint it down, and she instantly disappeared from the spot.
An Xin looked at Gu An with a hesitant face and asked, “Master, the pressure before the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit… why do I feel like I’ve encountered it before?”
Upon her words, the others looked at An Xin in surprise.
Had she also met a Profound Yuan Free Immortal?
Gu An glanced at An Xin, his eyes showing a touch of satisfaction. He casually answered, “Indeed you have; her name is Zhu Xi, who is also the Saint Heaven Reincarnation.”
Saint Heaven Reincarnation!
Celestial Demon Child’s eyes lit up with excitement as she asked, “Is it the Lord of the Holy Court?”
“Mm.”
Hearing Gu An affirm with a ‘mm,’ everyone grew even more excited and began to discuss the legend of Saint Heaven.
Gu An said no more, vanishing into thin air, leaving the rest of the experience for them to feel for themselves.
As the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit emerged, all Sects across the world were alarmed, and one Great Cultivator after another flew towards the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.
Even Li Ya rode the Nine Extremes Sacred Heart Sword there.
From afar, he looked at the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, incapable of reflecting the whole fruit in his pupils, while Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit stood on his shoulder, equally showing a face of disbelief.
“What is that?”
Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit asked with a trembling voice, witnessing the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit and instinctively feeling fear.
The enormity of the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit shook all living beings’ sight, and in the face of such creation, beings only felt reverence, not daring any disrespect.
Li Ya also felt the pressure, and his flying speed began to slow.
Reason told him that this was not something he could snatch, but another voice in his heart urged him to seize this supreme opportunity.
As Li Ya hesitated, figures swept overhead, moving with great speed.
Seeing so many fearless individuals, Li Ya felt greater courage welling up inside him.
There’s strength in numbers—maybe he would be the one to seize it!
Li Ya gritted his teeth and immediately accelerated forward.
…
The enormous and spectacular Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit hovered above the land and vast sea, with Zhu Xi and Immortal Seeker standing at the top of the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, looking up into the dazzling starry sky.
The Celestial Dao Light Layer that enveloped the Celestial Spirit Great World had become thin, as if it would completely disappear at any moment.
Zhu Xi changed into a golden robe that clung to her body, her long hair coiled under a phoenix crown, with two golden dragons on her shoulders, and a crimson halo floating behind her. At this moment, she exuded an air of supreme dominance, her brows revealing a chilling disdain for all living beings.
Lord of the Holy Court, Shengtian!
Profound Yuan Free Immortal!
The Immortal Seeker looked up and sighed, “There are just too many fools who can’t see.”
As his voice fell, a huge black hole appeared in the starry sky above, and blood-red waves of air surged out, writhing like tentacles, horrifying and terrible.
“Who would have thought that the Celestial Spirit Great World could give birth to the Profound Yuan Free Immortal during the Shattered Era.”
An authoritative voice echoed between heaven and earth, so that all creatures could hear.
Zhu Xi did not look up, but instead gazed down at the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit below.
Each golden rune glowed with a light unique to it, appearing mysterious.
The Immortal Seeker whispered, “The Supreme Demon Emperor from the Supreme Demon Realm has arrived, if you want to merge the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, you might have to deal with him first.”
As his voice fell, black holes of various sizes appeared from all directions, terrible auras spilling out from them. Their converging might made heaven and earth tremble.
Zhu Xi did not raise her eyes; she simply uttered one word.
“Good.”
…
Boom-ba-boom—
The palace trembled, and Jiang Qiong, sitting at the highest seat, furrowed her brows.
Her gaze turned to the palace doors outside, where the sky was dark, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Fierce winds ravaged the forests, and in the far distance, at the edge of the sky, one could vaguely see a terrifying behemoth.
Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit!
Looking at the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, Jiang Qiong felt very uneasy. She always had the feeling of facing the apocalypse, as if it was the last day of heaven and earth.
At that moment, a female cultivator swiftly flew into the hall, landing before the steps, and saluted Jiang Qiong.
“Master, the Evil Demon has left; it seems to be heading towards the distant mysterious giant fruit. Should we deactivate the sect protection formation?” the female cultivator asked. The mention of the mysterious giant fruit caused her voice to hesitate for a moment.
Jiang Qiong glared at her and said, “You feel the malevolence of this heaven and earth; do you think it should be deactivated?”
The female cultivator replied helplessly, “Master, the resources consumed by this formation are truly immense, and continuing like this could easily drag us down. Over the years, you have not allowed us to go out and compete…”
Her voice trailed off with a hint of resentment.
Jiang Qiong responded, “You must have seen other cultivators from sects that joined the struggle. Haven’t you noticed a common trait amongst them?”
The female cultivator asked in surprise, “What trait?”
“They all become mad, bold, even obsessive. Once they set foot on this path, it seems they can never turn back. I’m not sure if my current decision is right, but if the disciples of Gathering Flower Sect become like that, then sooner or later, the sect will perish.”
Jiang Qiong’s words plunged the female cultivator into silence. She thought carefully about the faces of those people—they did seem off, with a crazed posture.
The palace continued to tremble violently, with hot or icy winds blowing in intermittently.
Just as the female cultivator was about to leave, a voice full of oppression rang out:
“Shengtian! I did indeed underestimate you, but the path you’ve chosen will surely lead to your doom!”
The voice of the Supreme Demon Emperor, tinged with fear.
Jiang Qiong didn’t know who the voice belonged to, but she knew of Shengtian’s legend.
“Demons rampage, and Immortal Gods fight amongst themselves. Even in the Nirvana Realm, facing such a cataclysm, are we any different from mortals?”
Jiang Qiong’s voice was intricate with emotion as she looked at her disciple and said somberly, “In such turbulent times, the best we mortals can do is to hide, not like moths to a flame trying to fight for something. We can’t compete for such an opportunity.”
