Chapter 370: Descending Upon the World
Chapter 370: Descending Upon the World
As the Demon Chaser was about to collapse, Gu An couldn't be bothered to explain. With a wave of the Destiny Pen, he instantly turned the Demon Chaser into ashes, swiftly vanishing from sight.
Throughout the entire process, Haolong remained silent, staring blankly at Gu An. It was only after the Demon Chaser disappeared that Haolong snapped out of his daze.
Haolong swallowed, and the fear in his eyes was evident as he looked at Gu An.
Gu An's strength far exceeded Haolong's imagination, and it had been many years since they last interacted. After such a long separation, witnessing Gu An's formidable abilities naturally filled Haolong with trepidation.
Noticing Haolong's expression, Gu An found it amusing. He suddenly became interested and stared at Haolong expressionlessly.
Haolong's fear intensified under Gu An's gaze, and he unconsciously took a step back.
"Regarding today's matter..." Gu An spoke in a drawn-out, mysterious tone.
Haolong quickly replied, "I will never reveal what happened here! Please trust me, Master!"
Gu An twirled the Destiny Pen in his hand, a smile playing on his lips. "This pen of mine can kill people from very, very far away. You know what will happen if you break your promise."
Haolong's dragon body trembled in fear, and he repeatedly assured Gu An.
Gu An turned and walked towards the Cavern Vine Tree, his primary purpose being to test the ability of the Destiny Pen to seize lifespans.
The result was excellent, just as he had hoped.
The Destiny Pen was his creation, and he hadn't used any external objects to make it. From now on, it would be even easier for him to seize lifespans with the Destiny Pen.
In dealing with the Demon Chaser, Gu An had killed over a hundred people, all of whom were directly related to the Demon Chaser. Eventually, they would have been drawn into this web of cause and effect and grudges. Gu An had simply expedited their inevitable fate.
This was the way of cause and effect.
Being able to perceive the evolution of all things was also the basis for participating in the path of destiny.
The path of cause and effect was profound and unfathomable. Even though Gu An had only touched upon it initially, he already possessed abilities that even ghosts and spirits couldn't predict.
This time, he had gained over forty thousand years of lifespan, but for him, at this point, it was not a significant amount.
Haolong shrank his body and cautiously approached Gu An.
"
Without turning his head, Gu An replied, "The less you know, the safer you'll be. Do you understand?"
These words frightened Haolong, and he nodded repeatedly.
The two, one human and one dragon, arrived at the base of the Cavern Vine Tree. The tree extended two vines and began massaging Gu An's shoulders, leaving Haolong dumbfounded.
Two hours later, Gu An and Haolong left the Eight Scenic Immortal World. Gu An headed towards Tianya Valley, while Haolong went to find cultivators from the Ancient Hao Sect.
Amidst the bustling Taixuan Sect, no one knew that a Profound Realm cultivator had been reduced to ashes.
After the Spring Festival, Gu An's life returned to tranquility. He traveled between various Medicine Valleys, occasionally taking An Xian to the Human World Peak or visiting Ye Lan and Zhen Qin on his own.
The sects whose medicinal herbs had been mysteriously harvested also gradually regained their peace. Even the Holy Court couldn't trace the cause, so they had no choice but to give up, especially since such incidents hadn't occurred again recently.
Although Gu An had already reached the Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal realm, he didn't stop his progress. He continued to expand the high-level medicinal herbs within the Beyond World Cavern.
Time passed swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, five years went by.
The number of Beyond Light Layer demons had surpassed five million, and they loomed in the universe, as if ready to tear the Heavenly Spirit Great World apart.
The Holy Court, the Immortal Dynasty, and various sects were on high alert, spreading out to prevent the demons from infiltrating.
On a massive falling star, two men, enveloped in black aura, stood side by side. They looked remarkably similar, both clad in black scale mail, with one being taller than the other.
"The Holy Court still hasn't made a move. It seems the information we received is accurate."
"Could the previous disturbance be the reincarnation of Holy Heaven?"
"It's highly likely. Only Holy Heaven could possess such power within the Heavenly Spirit Great World."
"In that case, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity."
"We mustn't forget that His Majesty's target is that Great Emperor."
The two men in black armor whispered, their eyes fixed on the Heavenly Spirit Great World, filled with malevolence.
As they chatted, they suddenly sensed something and turned their heads. From the depths of the darkness, thick mist rolled towards them.
The faces of the two black-armored men changed slightly, and they vanished from their original spots.
...
It was the season between spring and summer.
Under a tree, Gu An was drinking and discussing writing with Xuan Tianyi.
Xuan Tianyi was a huge fan of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and believed it was no less impressive than Journey to the West.
"I used to think that Investiture of the Gods was the pinnacle, but I never expected you to write Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You're truly amazing. Why can't I write books like these?" Xuan Tianyi said, looking at Gu An with admiration.
Gu An shook his head and said, "Your Green Knight Travels is not bad either. In the future, focus solely on that book and don't write anything else. If you continue to develop this book, it will surely become a classic that will be passed down through the ages."
Xuan Tianyi found writing serious books less interesting. Over the years, he had written many but hadn't achieved much success.
"Really? But many people are too embarrassed to admit that they like Green Knight Travels, aren't they?" Xuan Tianyi asked, sounding doubtful.
Gu An asked, "Do you want to write books that many people have read but rarely talk about, or do you want to write books that are considered masterpieces by a small group of people, allowing them to savor it for a lifetime?"
Upon hearing this question, Xuan Tianyi fell silent.
As the two were chatting, a loud crash from above startled them, causing them to look up. Not only were they surprised, but everyone else in the valley also raised their heads.
At the edge of the sky, a spectacular sight unfolded as countless meteorites, trailing long plumes of smoke, pierced through the clouds and descended, resembling an apocalyptic scene that instilled unease in those who witnessed it from afar.
"What is that?" Gu An frowned and asked, his heart filled with a sense of foreboding. "It's finally here."
The invasion of the Heaven Demons had begun. Led by a Freedom Immortal, they effortlessly breached the defenses beyond the world, and within the meteorites, numerous Heaven Demons hid.
"I'm not sure, but I'll go take a look," Xuan Tianyi said, disappearing from his original spot.
Gu An stood up and headed towards his own pavilion.
An Xian ran up to him and asked anxiously, "Master, what is it?"
"I'm not sure either, but we're definitely safe within the Great Mystery Sect," Gu An replied.
Hearing this, An Xian heaved a sigh of relief. She could sense the underlying meaning in her master's words—the mysterious being from beyond the world posed no threat to her master!
As Gu An walked forward, he looked up and saw a meteorite hurtling towards the Taicang Continent.
Shen Xinzi had already rushed forth to protect the continent.
Gu An had no intention of intervening. After his breakthrough, the Heaven Demons' attack seemed to have an underlying scheme.
As long as the continent could withstand this catastrophe, there was no need for him to act, providing a good opportunity for others to train.
I
This made his attitude clear to everyone in the world.
U
By the time Gu An reached his room, Shen Xinzi had already shattered the meteorite, releasing numerous Heaven Demons. The strongest among them were at the Wandering Immortal Realm, and they surrounded Shen Xinzi, trapping him in a fierce battle.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord quickly rushed to his aid, and other Immortal Cultivators from the continent also joined the fight.
The Taicang Continent was just one scene in a larger battle. All regions across the world began their defensive war.
The battle beyond the world was even more grand, with the Ancient Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court's Sage Ancestor joining forces to counter the Freedom Immortal Heaven Demons. The fight was intense, and the Divine Mind True Immortals displayed their divine abilities. Even the seven beings hiding within the sun emerged to join the battle: the Phoenix, True Dragon, Qilin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Green Bird, and Kun!
Their opponents were equally formidable—ferocious beasts from the Extinction Realm.
The battle quickly expanded, centered around the Heavenly Spirit Great World, with fighting figures in all directions.
The Moonshadow Emperor stepped out of his residence, gazing calmly at the sky.
At that moment, Lo Qing happened to pass by in front of him, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon, his brows deeply furrowed.
The Moonshadow Emperor's gaze fell upon Lo Qing, and his brows furrowed in surprise.
After the Heaven Demons descended, Lo Qing had become irritable and uncontrollable, so he wandered to dispel his emotions.
"How is his karmic path changing..." The Moonshadow Emperor wondered in astonishment.
And it was happening at this time!
This child must be connected to the Heaven Demons! The Moonshadow Emperor's interest in Lo Qing grew, as he had always found Lo Qing's constitution unique.
Before long, a strong wind blew from the distance, carrying the turmoil of the great battle.
Gu An sat at his desk, holding the 'Green Knight Travels' in his hand while using his divine sense to observe the entire world.
The Heavenly Spirit Great World's foundation was indeed formidable. In such a short time, numerous Divine Mind True Immortals, Dao Void Profound Immortals, and Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortals had emerged.
From the current situation, it seemed that the Heaven Demons couldn't shake the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Once the battle beyond the world ended, this great war would also conclude.
However, Gu An noticed that many Heaven Demons, after descending, didn't engage in combat. Instead, they infiltrated the mortal world, some possessing mortal beings, while others disintegrated, merging with the Reincarnation Law and being drawn into the Reincarnation Vortex above.
Gu An suddenly realized that this group of Heaven Demons wasn't a unified force. Those who didn't participate in the battle seemed to have a complex karmic connection with Lo Qing, and they might have come specifically for him.
His divine sense suddenly focused on the Moonfall Sacred Lake.
The Moonfall Sacred Lake was also under attack by the Heaven Demons, and their situation was even more dire, as a Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal Heaven Demon was lurking nearby.
The reason Gu An paid attention to the Moonfall Sacred Lake was primarily because of Zhu Xi, the possessor of the Primordial Swallow Essence Body.
Under his watchful eye, Zhu Xi fled the Moonfall Sacred Lake alone. She stood on a flying sword, holding an oil lamp that kept her hidden.
As evening approached, the crisis on the Taicang Continent was resolved, and Zhu Xi descended onto an island. She hid in the forest, her oil lamp still lit.
Unbeknownst to her, a Heaven Demon was hidden on the island, and although its cultivation was only at the Loose Essence Realm, it was far beyond her ability to defeat.
Her oil lamp couldn't conceal her from the Heaven Demon's gaze.
The Heaven Demon was drawing closer to her.
Zhu Xi, who was meditating, opened her eyes and looked around, her heart filled with anxiety.
She had a sense of impending doom, and she trusted her instincts. This was why she was panicking, for she realized that danger lurked in all directions, and there was no escape.
