Xu You’s voice was drowned out by the roar within the void, and Zhang Buku beside him also widened his eyes, with specks of golden light appearing rapidly in his eyes, quickly connecting into a continuum.
Hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers looked up, all with expressions of utter astonishment.
Celestial Calming God looked up and was similarly shocked. He immediately roared in anger, raised his sword, and slashed upwards. His mana, nearly at the limit of the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm, suddenly erupted, soaring skyward.
The golden bell phantom formed by hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers trembled violently, and those Golden Dragons and Fire Phoenixes, as if encountering a natural enemy, ceased altogether, roaring towards the sky.
The thousands of other trapped people behind Gu An also looked up, all staring in stupefaction, the golden light illuminating their shocked expressions.
Golden ethereal palms of varying sizes descended from the sky, endless and inexhaustible, all shining with piercing golden light, occupying the entire sky above the void, as if another plane was descending, full of oppression.
No matter which direction one looked, there were massive golden palm silhouettes as large as mountains, some even larger than heaven and earth, with an unimaginable oppressive force that made it impossible for them to escape the range of the Celestial Army’s formation.
Even the Xuanji Emperor of the Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortals could not count how many golden ethereal palms there were. In the face of such divine skills, the Heavenly Court Immortals were like mere mortals, insignificant and fragile.
An Zizai opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the relentless descent of the golden ethereal palms, his mind blank as he gazed at the spectacle.
Time seemed to slow down, and everyone except the Celestial Calming God had no time to react.
The Celestial Calming God wielded his sword to cut, and in the process of ascending, the vast mana transformed into a crimson Qilin, surrounded by heavenly thunder. It was even larger than the Soul Refining Cauldron, but under the endless palm silhouettes of the God-Calming Realm, it was like a mosquito caught in a storm, ready to be overwhelmed at any moment.
The descent of the God-Calming Realm was extremely fast, from appearance to arrival in less than half a heartbeat.
Countless golden ethereal palms smashed onto the golden bell phantom, and the dazzling golden light made the entire void lose its color.
Zhang Buku looked up with wide eyes; he instinctively wanted to use his divine skills, but his actions weren’t quick enough, and ultimately, his entire body was engulfed by the golden light.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
As the cosmic void lost its color, deafening roaring sounds erupted continuously, An Zizai also closed his eyes, unable to see, and the incoming sounds made him feel as if the entire Dao Universe was shaking, his Qi-Blood freezing, causing extreme discomfort.
Standing behind Gu An, he felt this way, let alone the others.
Blood Prison Great Saint felt both uncomfortable and excited, even though he couldn’t see, the vast spectacle of the God-Calming Realm echoed in his mind.
Such divine skills, he wanted to learn them too!
Once he returned, he would pester his master to teach him this divine skill!
Xuanji Emperor also found himself unable to perform magic, but he sensed a special fate—a special fate not only due to pure and powerful cultivation but also a special fate supporting it.
This fate was similar to the Daoist Emperor’s, comparable to the Great Dao, yet independent of the Great Dao.
This astonished the Xuanji Emperor greatly.
Is there a kind of Great Dao Destiny on the Path of the Great Dao stronger than the Daoist Emperor?
He had no time to ponder more, quickly realizing his consciousness was being dragged into slumber.
…
An Zizai had a dream, dreaming of Ancestor slaughtering indiscriminately among the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, no immortal or god able to withstand a single blow, a completely one-sided massacre.
Suddenly.
Ancestor approached him, frightening him into abruptly waking up, opening his eyes wide and sitting up, gasping for air.
The morning sunlight pierced through the mountains and rivers of the earth, shining on him, giving him a feeling as if a lifetime had passed. He instinctively turned his head and found himself in Ancestor’s courtyard.
Shen Zhen and An Xin were sitting in front of the Artifact Refining Cauldron, conversing in low voices, with no sign of anyone else.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Master, Uncle Shen, where’s the Ancestor?”
“Your Ancestor went out to play, estimated to be back by evening.” An Xin replied calmly.
It was Shen Zhen who turned his head to look at him, curious, “How was it? Did you witness your Ancestor’s hand?”
An Zizai took a deep breath, nodded heavily, recalling the memories in his mind. He couldn’t help but clench his fists, his eyes shining, he replied, “Ancestor used the divine skills he taught me, so strong, there must be at least a hundred thousand Heavenly Court Immortals, not one could withstand a single palm from him…”
An Xin also became interested, turning to listen to him describe the previous battle.
At the same time.
Gu An was staying in the Mountain God Temple of Tai Cang Continent. After picking the ripe medicinal herbs, he came into the courtyard, then silently activated the Life Span Barrier, taking out the Demon God Body he had taken from the Soul Refining Cauldron, still within an egg.
He did not kill the Celestial Calming God and the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers. The Celestial Calming God couldn’t be killed, and those Heavenly Soldiers were innocent, simply following orders. If they were all killed, the karma involved would cover the Three Thousand Great Worlds and various mysterious universes, let alone Zhang Buku who was also among them.
Of course, aside from intimidating the Celestial Calming God, this battle also showcased the power of the Primordial Dao Emperor to those thousands of trapped people and hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers.
These trapped people and Heavenly Soldiers were all Great Powers and gifted prodigies. They would certainly perceive the fate of the Primordial Dao Emperor, and they could spread the Primordial Dao Emperor across their respective universes.
At this moment, Gu An was more concerned with the Demon God Body that the Celestial Calming God had refined.
He observed carefully and found that this Demon God Body had a high tolerance for the Three Thousand Great Daos, meaning it could cultivate various Great Daos with ease.
For whom was the Celestial Calming God preparing this body?
This body had no Heavenly Court destiny, so Gu An realized that there were hundreds of such bodies within the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and one was hidden within the Divine Court of Taiwei Great World.
So many Demon God Bodies, and they are all being refined by immortals and gods—must be related to the struggle with the Celestial Emperor.
Do they need so many Demon Gods to overthrow the current Celestial Emperor’s rule?
Gu An was very curious about how strong the Celestial Emperor really was today?
What was his concept of the Heavenly Dao?
Perhaps the disregard of the Immortal Gods for all living beings is related to the battle for the Celestial Emperor.
Gu An looked at the Demon God Body, silently thinking.
Profound Mysterious Zhenren sat beside him, curiously looking at the giant egg in front of Gu An. Even though the egg had shrunk a lot, the figure curled up inside still appeared large.
Staring at the figure inside the giant egg, Profound Mysterious Zhenren felt very uneasy, feeling that this body was terrifying, making him afraid to disturb Gu An.
For a long time.
Gu An glanced at Profound Mysterious Zhenren and smiled, “I shall grant this body to you, to aid in your possession. Do you agree?”
Upon hearing this, Profound Mysterious Zhenren’s face changed greatly, not immediately agreeing or refusing, but cautiously asked, “What is the origin of this body?”
“This body was refined by the Immortal Gods, true Immortal Gods. If you possess it, you will have talent surpassing all creation, but you will also bear unforeseen karma, which might drag you into immense trouble in the future.”
Gu An explained, making Profound Mysterious Zhenren even more nervous.
True Immortal Gods?
The reason Profound Mysterious Zhenren follows Gu An is because he devoutly believes in Immortal Gods. Now hearing of true Immortal Gods from Gu An, his heartbeat quickened.
