Chapter 556: Chapter 551: Gu An versus the Celestial Spirit God!_3
Even after creating the Celestial Spirit Great World, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable had barely reached the Innate Golden Immortal Realm, and the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal seemed infinitely distant to him, almost an extravagant wish.
However, the Celestial Spirit God had attained it, even surpassing the early stage.
In a daze, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable thought back to when his master had taken him to the Immortal Palace and he saw the Celestial Spirit God. At that time, the Celestial Spirit God was merely his junior, who had appeared in the Immortal Palace because the Master of the Immortal Palace had taken notice of his talent.
Rising from the Mortal World to become the Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable didn’t care about this. In his eyes, even if the talent of the Celestial Spirit God was extraordinary, it would never surpass his own.
In the end, he died at the hands of the Celestial Spirit God.
And now, the Celestial Spirit God had far surpassed him.
…
Throughout the long years of death, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable could sense the presence of the Celestial Spirit God; the Celestial Spirit God had never left.
Which means, the Celestial Spirit God had achieved the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal by meditating and attaining Enlightenment on his own.
Thinking of this, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable’s pride was completely shattered; he totally lost his spirit.
“Senior… Senior…”
Faint voices reached the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable’s ears, but they could not awaken his fighting spirit.
“Father!”
Suddenly, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable felt a jolt like thunder awakening him; he instinctively turned his head and saw An Hao looking at him, his face fierce.
“Father! Since you are my father, you cannot just surrender! Even if you die, you must die fighting!” An Hao gritted his teeth and roared, struggling to speak as he was unable to move.
He could accept defeat, he could accept death, but he could not accept the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable losing confidence.
Ever since his parents died in his childhood, he too had fantasized about them still being alive.
Facing a Demon Beast back then, his father was just a mortal who, in order to protect him, fearlessly drew the beast away. It was his father’s example that gave him the courage to fight to the death to protect An Xin from the same village.
Later, he met Gu An, the most important mentor of his life, whose strength and fearlessness guided him.
The fear of the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable made An Hao angry; he would not allow the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable to display such loss of composure.
What fear is there in death!
Touched by An Hao’s gaze, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable took a deep breath and looked back at the Celestial Spirit God with a determined expression.
He struggled to raise his right hand, facing the aura of the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal, his hand shaking uncontrollably, not from fear, but from being unable to bear the pressure.
“Even in death, I must protect him…” the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable bit his teeth, thinking thus in his heart.
Suddenly!
The Celestial Spirit God appeared abruptly in front of the two, raising the Celestial Dao Divine Axe high, ready to strike at An Hao.
He intended to execute An Hao right in front of the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable!
The pupils of the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable shrank, time seemed to freeze, and he felt so slow. Although An Hao was right beside him, his hand just couldn’t reach him.
An Hao’s face was illuminated by a bright light, he remained fierce, his eyes filled with towering rage, staring fixedly at the Celestial Spirit God.
He was ready to face death, but he did not wish to die without dignity!
Boom!
Darkness fell before An Hao’s eyes, and then a wild wind arose, the pressure that bound him suddenly vanished, but another indescribable force enveloped him, forcing him to close his eyes.
“Huh?”
The surprised voice of the Celestial Spirit God rang out, startling An Hao into hurriedly opening his eyes. When he saw the figure before him, his eyes widened, and his body trembled.
Between the Celestial Spirit God and An Hao, a figure appeared, blocking the Celestial Dao Divine Axe in the hands of the Celestial Spirit God. The Divine Axe was suspended above the head of this person, unable to fall, the blade about ten centimeters from their forehead, but it was these ten centimeters that saved An Hao’s life.
The Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable also felt the binds on himself disappear and turned to look at the figure that had appeared. His brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with fear.
“Master!” An Hao exclaimed excitedly.
That person was none other than Gu An!
Gu An, dressed in black, stood in front of An Hao, his robe fluttering, the Cyan Hong Sword hung at his waist, his right hand still resting on the hilt, as he calmly stared down the Celestial Spirit God.
As their four eyes met, the Celestial Spirit God’s gaze held a scrutinizing hint, while Gu An was as peaceful as still water.
Gu An had imagined countless times standing in confrontation with the Celestial Spirit God; now that the moment had truly arrived, his heart settled into an unprecedented calm.
At that moment, facing the Celestial Spirit God was not just Gu An.
There was also the extremity, Yang Xian, and the Black Profound Emperor!
