Chapter 668: Chapter 660: A Life Span of Ten Trillion Years!
As the Emperor Clan and the Unbeatable Emperor vanished into ash, the golden giant hand dissipated, the void gradually returning to dimness, while the people of the Dao Court remained in silence, unable to awaken from their shock.
The pure-hearted Xiao Lan was the first to break the silence. She couldn’t help but ask, “What realm was the senior who acted just now? The legendary Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal?”
The cultivators of the Dao Court awoke one after another, starting to bow in all directions, expressing gratitude to the person who intervened.
Yuan Songzi also came to his senses, loudly exclaimed: “I am Yuan Songzi from the Dao Court of the Celestial Spirit Great World, grateful for the senior’s assistance. I wonder what can we do for the senior?”
There is no such thing as a favor for no reason. Yuan Songzi reflected on his connections, unable to think of such a powerful entity, he could only ponder what the other party might want them to do.
However, no one answered him.
Ji Xiaoyu remained silent, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began restoring her body.
Meanwhile,
In the Qiankun Sect, Gu An was occupied by a series of prompts in his vision.
To deal with the Emperor Clan, he used his own mana, not relying on avatars, thus he could seize life force, especially since the Emperor Clan lacked Celestial Court destiny.
[Successfully captured 20,239,008,276 years of life from Emperor Changyuan (Early Stage of Innate Golden Immortal Realm)]
[Successfully captured 809,244,623 years of life from Gu Dong (Late Stage of Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal Realm)]
[Successfully captured 209,872,307,762 years of life from Emperor Hantian (Middle Stage of Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm)]
[Successfully captured 70,982,763 years of life from Qin Li (Perfect Innate Golden Immortal Realm)]
[Successfully captured 249,827,206,383 years of life from Zhi Zun (Middle Stage of Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm)]
…
Looking at his skyrocketing lifespan, Gu An felt agitated. No wonder those with Reincarnation bodies couldn’t resist the temptation of seizing life force. He now felt an impulse to go on a killing spree, but he knew he mustn’t do that.
Excessive slaughter and rapidly growing stronger would attract powerful entities far beyond his cultivation level to intervene.
This time, attacking the Emperor Clan was justified and wouldn’t attract attention from beings surpassing Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.
The life spans of these powerful figures within the Emperor Clan varied. The strongest Taiqing Golden Immortal provided him with a lifespan not much higher than the Hengtian Golden Immortal, yet overall, it still yielded him substantial gains.
The Emperor Clan only had one Taiqing Golden Immortal protecting the Unbeatable Emperor; most others were Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortals and Innate Golden Immortals, a total of several hundred.
[Your lifespan has surpassed ten trillion years for the first time, starting a random lifespan function upgrade]
[Your Life Expectancy Prediction function has been upgraded]
[Life Expectancy Prediction upgrade successful]
[Life Expectancy Prediction: Automatically detects causality. When a living being bears hostility toward your true self or clones, a prompt will appear. It automatically deduces causality. If someone’s causality conflicts with yours, a prompt will appear. Using this prompt does not consume lifespan, but conducting a lifespan detection on the opponent does.]
Witnessing the prompts before him, Gu An’s eyes changed.
Unlike the previous Life Expectancy Prediction, this time the function covers his clones and can deduce causality.
Deducing causality is quite domineering, implying potential enemies could be deduced?
This function has both pros and cons. The advantage is identifying more enemies; the downside is the pressure of knowing enemies in advance, while the enemies remain oblivious and carefree.
Of course, the most important thing is that his lifespan has broken through ten trillion years!
He can proceed to a breakthrough!
Gu An’s mood became joyful. Once all the lifespan prompts ceased, he brought up the attribute panel for viewing.
[Name: Gu An]
[Life Span: 172,971/14,073,593,224,087]
[Physique: Primordial Dao Creation Body]
[Cultivation Level: Middle Stage of Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal Realm]
…
It’s no wonder the Emperor Clan!
Gu An acknowledged the Emperor Clan behind the Unbeatable Emperor as indeed powerful.
[Tianqian Emperor will form a causal hatred with you, destined to become your enemy. Would you like to perform a Life Span Detection on them?]
[Ancestor Chuzi will form a causal hatred with you, destined to become your enemy. Would you like to perform a Life Span Detection on them?]
[Hanlong will form a causal hatred with you, destined to become your enemy. Would you like to perform a Life Span Detection on them?]
Another series of prompts emerged wildly, causing Gu An’s eyelids to twitch.
Indeed!
The new Life Expectancy Prediction is a double-edged sword.
With so many potential enemies, if he checked each one, could his fourteen trillion years of lifespan endure?
Gu An chose one by one for lifespan detection. Upon selecting a name, the lifespan years to be consumed would display, then he would confirm.
He had no intention of consuming lifespan, but from the lifespan consumption prompts, he could gauge the strength of the enemies.
The Emperor Clan’s greatest support was one major realm lower than him, so it wasn’t worth using Life Span Detection on them.
Even so, this function could still reveal the Emperor Clan’s foundation to him.
For a period following this, lifespan prompts repeatedly appeared. When Yuan Luo defeated the Mahayana Realm disciple to the cheering of the audience, the prompts before him continued.
The connections behind the Unbeatable Emperor were truly astonishing.
Gu An was secretly alarmed.
Qiankun Sect’s Sect Hierarch Yi Qingshan began to praise Yuan Luo, then spoke of the sect’s millennial grand plan ahead, stirring the disciples’ emotions.
After the gathering, Gu An politely declined invitations from companions for food and drink and left alone.
On the other side,
Ji Xiaoyu had restored her body, though her aura was weak and her cultivation level somewhat diminished.
The cultivators of the Dao Court surrounded her, their faces full of concern.
Xiao Lan couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, how do you feel? How can we assist?”
The pale-faced Ji Xiaoyu opened her eyes and said, “I am unscathed, but my path to the Daoist Emperor has been completely severed. Unbeatable Emperor’s Divine Skills are indeed tyrannical. It will take me many years to completely dispel the power of his Divine Skills.”
Everyone felt their hearts sink, unable to accept it.
They had traversed the path of the Great Dao together for so many years, albeit thinking about the possibility of Ji Xiaoyu’s defeat, seeing her fall in such a manner filled them with a sense of helplessness.
The Emperor Road is indeed not something they can contend for.
Yuan Songzi took a deep breath and said, “Return to the Dao Court to recuperate.”
He looked at Xiao Lan and said, “You have seen it too, the contention of the Emperor Road is fraught with peril. Before you are defeated, why not stop for now?”
Xiao Lan nodded lightly at his words.
She too realized the vast gap between herself and Emperor Road geniuses and felt a bit worried for her Brother Gu after being away from the Celestial Spirit Great World for so many years.
An Elder couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I wonder what kind of deity that senior was, to directly annihilate the Emperor Clan to save us. The path of the Great Dao is indeed one mountain higher than the other, heavens beyond heavens.”
Recalling the fierce battle earlier, they still felt a chilling thrill and an inexplicable excitement.
“In my opinion, the Emperor Clan brought it upon themselves, being overly arrogant. That senior perhaps didn’t intend to destroy the Emperor Clan, but these fellows gave no leeway and were too arrogant.” A Dao Court genius couldn’t help but say, filled with admiration and fervor.
The golden giant hand will be the goal of his life pursuit from now on!
Even if he cannot reach that realm in this life, he will cultivate in that direction!
