Chapter 340: The Dark War Emperor from the War Dynasty
Chapter 340: The Dark War Emperor from the War Dynasty
As evening approached, Gu An stood up and stretched lazily, his gaze turning towards the heavens.
The deep crimson coffin had reached the skies and was about to descend into the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Anxin walked over and asked, "Are we going back?"
Gu An nodded slightly, and Anxin immediately went to pack their things.
She had bought some trinkets in Firm Sky Peak, intending to bring them back to the Third Medicine Valley. As long as she didn't reveal her connection with Gu An and Human World Peak, he wouldn't stop her.
Anxin was quick with her packing, and after finishing, she hurried over to Gu An. She saw her master looking up, and her eyes instinctively followed his gaze.
She witnessed a meteor streaking across the starry sky, falling towards the distant land.
"What is that...?" Anxin muttered.
Gu An didn't answer her. After seeing the meteor disappear into the distance, he waved his sleeve, and they both vanished from their original spot.
Upon returning to the Third Medicine Valley, the master and disciple each went back to their rooms.
Gu An sat in a chair, seemingly admiring the night view outside the window, but his Divine Mind was focused on the distant deep crimson coffin.
The crimson coffin landed on a continent ten times larger than the Taicang Continent, immediately bringing annihilation to the lives on that land.
In a very short time, the continent turned into a sea of fire, and ninety percent of its lifeforms perished, while the rest fled into the ocean.
The impact of the crimson coffin's collision with the earth continued to spread, affecting more of the ocean and land.
It was far from the Taicang Continent, but overall, it was even farther from Human World Peak, which ruled out the possibility of it being related to the Demonic Embryo.
After landing, the crimson coffin embedded itself at the bottom of a huge pit, motionless, with no signs of the coffin lid opening.
The moon set and the sun rose, and a night passed.
Before going downstairs, Gu An saw that the crimson coffin hadn't opened, so he stopped worrying and went downstairs to join his disciples for morning exercises.
Morning exercises were a tradition in the Third Medicine Valley, and the Great Cultivators who came to play chess occasionally participated as well.
During the exercises, the discipline wasn't overly strict, and the disciples could chat with each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
After the morning exercises, You Yingying approached Shen Xinzi, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Shen Xinzi was meditating under a tree, holding a copy of Journey to the West.
"Since last night, have you been feeling inexplicably anxious and uneasy, as if something is amiss?" Shen Xinzi asked calmly without looking up at her.
You Yingying nodded hurriedly and said, "I've never felt this way before. I don't want to become like that... If I'm going to change, you can kill me beforehand."
Shen Xinzi looked at her in surprise.
You Yingying thought he was questioning her, so she explained in a low voice, "The Heavenly Demon probably won't die so easily. My suicide attempt would definitely fail. You are an enlightened monk, and you know how to exorcise demons. I don't want to harm others."
Shen Xinzi looked at her deeply and said, "Rest assured, it's very unlikely that you will transform into a Heavenly Demon in this lifetime. The reason for this feeling is probably because the Heavenly Demon's arch-enemy has arrived."
He had also sensed the disturbance from the previous night, and his cultivation realm was high, so his unease far surpassed You Yingying's. That was why he picked up Journey to the West, hoping to divert his attention.
"Really? Who is the Heavenly Demon's arch-enemy? What should I do?" You Yingying asked anxiously.
Shen Xinzi lowered his head and said, "You don't need to do anything. Just focus on your cultivation, and you'll get used to it."
You Yingying was stunned and could only leave with a mind full of worries.
On the other side, Gu An, riding on the Blood Prison Great Sage, was patrolling the Medicine Valley when he overheard the conversation between You Yingying and Shen Xinzi.
The arch-enemy of the Heavenly Demon?
Gu An took the Azure Heaven Peak from his waist, lifted it, and sent his Divine Mind into it.
Immediately after, he arrived at the dilapidated temple.
As he gazed at the wall, about to speak, the black-robed elder emerged and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Gu An shook his head and changed the topic, asking, "Do your Heavenly Demons have any natural enemies?"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder frowned and cautiously asked, "What do you mean? How can the Heavenly Demons have natural enemies?"
Gu An waved his sleeve, and a mirage appeared between the two. When the black-robed elder saw the deep red coffin, his face paled.
Seeing the change in his expression, Gu An remained calm, waiting for him to speak.
The black-robed elder's hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "He is targeting the Emperor, but his arrival will also bring disaster to this world. The fact that he can enter means the Holy Court also intends to use him to eradicate the Heavenly Demons within the Heavenly Spirit Great World."
"Who is he?" Gu An asked.
The black-robed elder replied, "He is known as the Dark War Emperor, and no one knows his origins. He once caused bloodshed in the Annihilation Realm, and I only know that he comes from the ancient War Dynasty."
The War Dynasty?
Gu An remained composed and asked, "What is the origin of the War Dynasty?"
The black-robed elder glanced at him and said, "The War Dynasty is a legend in the Annihilation Realm. It is said that once, a powerful force ruled over the myriad worlds and stood at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao. Whether they perished or left is unknown, and this is all I know."
"What cultivation level has the Dark War Emperor reached?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely very high."
The black-robed elder shook his head, feeling his scalp tingle at the mere thought of the Dark War Emperor.
Suddenly, Gu An said, "It seems I don't need to leave. I'll wait for the Dark War Emperor to eliminate the Heavenly Demons, and the Holy Court will take care of him, right?"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder panicked and said, "The Dark War Emperor is unpredictable and extremely violent. He will undoubtedly bring calamity to the Human World Peak. If he devours the Emperor's Demonic Embryo, he might even go to war with the Holy Court. You won't be able to escape the trouble either!"
After listening, Gu An didn't panic but stared at him calmly.
The black-robed elder clenched his teeth and suddenly knelt down, saying in a low voice, "Please help the Emperor. As long as you can assist the Emperor in his rebirth, my clan will owe you a favor. Later, I will bring this matter back to the clan, and you will gain our friendship. In the future, when you travel through the Annihilation Realm, you will have our support!"
"Are you joking? What if he tries to attack me?" Gu An said coldly.
The black-robed elder raised his head and explained, "Rest assured, he has forgotten his past life memory. He is going through his own reincarnation stage, and this process is when he is at his weakest. After his rebirth, he will be a newborn being. You can even take him as your disciple. When he attains Dao in the future, he will certainly not forget your kindness!"
After hearing this, Gu An fell into hesitation.
"If you don't do this, the Dark War Emperor will definitely come after the Emperor is born. Once he is born, he will undergo a reincarnation baptism, erasing the Heavenly Demon's cause and effect, making it impossible for the Dark War Emperor to find him." The black-robed elder said anxiously.
It was as if the Dark War Emperor was about to rush in at any moment.
Gu An hesitated for a moment and asked, "How can I help him?"
The black-robed elder was delighted and immediately taught him an unusual technique.
Gu An listened attentively and memorized it after one explanation.
The black-robed elder urged, "You must act quickly. If the Dark War Emperor finds us, he can block my clan's Emperor's path to enlightenment. We must not let him succeed!"
