Chapter 373: Who Are You, Really?
Chapter 373: Who Are You, Really?
The Taixuan Sect disciples discussed for a long time and finally decided to join the battle. In their opinion, hiding and hoping for a lucky break while others fought was foolish.
Gu An admired the courage of the Taixuan Sect disciples. In this situation, choosing to play it safe might result in losing everything, and unity was the best strategy.
Dozens of people joined forces and flew towards the nearest battlefield.
Li Ya had already finished his battle, relying on the formidable power of Divine Odd City. He won with ease, and he didn't even need to lift a finger; it was all thanks to the Divine City Immortal Spirit fighting on his behalf.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Gu An and the others joined the encirclement against the Heaven Demon. Under Ye Lan's arrangement, Gu An was positioned at the outermost perimeter, tasked with casting long-range spells.
Gu An held the Destiny Pen and pretended to be working hard, while his Divine Sense also gazed into the distance, covering the entire Nine Abysses World, observing the battlefield from a macro perspective.
More and more beings began to engage the Heaven Demon in battle, all of them caught in the midst of a fierce fight.
Gu An started to steal kills. When the Heaven Demon was about to die, his Divine Sense would shock the Heaven Demon.
One after another, prompts popped up in front of him, making his mood even more pleasant.
Suddenly, he detected the aura of a Freedom Immortal. The person was hiding well, but they couldn't escape his Divine Sense.
This must be the guy who created the Nine Abysses World!
He's disguised himself as a member of the Heavenly Spirit Great World and is even fighting against the Heaven Demon.
What does this mean?
Gu An couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother thinking about it.
He continued to balance the battlefield. If the Heaven Demon's side had an overwhelming advantage over the beings, he would help suppress the Heaven Demon, giving the Heavenly Spirit Great World's beings a chance to train.
Those who were pulled into the Nine Abysses World were not mediocre; they would eventually become the pillars of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Gu An's task was to ensure that the geniuses of the Heavenly Spirit Great World didn't die in large numbers, and at the same time, to provide them with an opportunity for transformation through this experience.
...
In the universe, more and more cultivators flew towards the black sphere, watching the creation of the Tyrant Demon Emperor with tension.
"Damn it, are we just going to watch like this?"
"My sect has hundreds of disciples involved. They are the future of my sect!"
"Our sect is no exception. What kind of method is this?"
"Move aside. I don't believe this thing can't be broken!"
"Is the Holy Court powerless?"
The senior cultivators of various sects discussed in a frenzy, and some even attacked the giant black sphere, trying to shatter it. However, no spells or abilities could affect the black sphere.
The Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Sage Ancestor stood at a high place, frowning at the scene.
A figure appeared behind them, a middle-aged man in golden robes holding a jade ruler, his face stern.
"Sage Ancestor, is there really no solution?" the golden-robed man asked.
He was the Holy Minister of the Holy Court, and at this moment, his brows were tightly knit, filled with worry.
The Sage Ancestor, with his back to him, replied, "I can sense that the fortune of the Holy Court has not weakened, indicating that the juniors drawn into this haven't suffered major casualties. Let's seal off this space for now."
The Holy Minister hesitated for a moment, then turned to give the order.
The Ancient Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and said, "I feel that his purpose is not to massacre the younger generation of the Heavenly Spirit Great World. He seems to be searching for something."
The Sage Ancestor responded, "I believe so too. However, throughout history, there have been too many outsiders infiltrating the Heavenly Spirit Great World. I can't deduce what the Tyrant Demon Emperor is looking for."
The two Freedom Immortals fell into confusion, their gazes never leaving the black sphere.
Time passed quickly.
Half a day after entering the Nine Abysses World, all the beings within began to slaughter each other, and the sounds of battle echoed everywhere.
With Gu An's secret assistance, the morale of the Heavenly Spirit Great World's side continued to rise. The more Heaven Demons died, the same world's advantage grew.
In just half a day, Gu An had already gained over thirty million years of lifespan, and his total lifespan successfully broke the one-hundred-million-year mark.
Not a single Taixuan Sect disciple had died, and everyone's confidence was rising. Even Ye Lan no longer restricted Gu An as she had before, and she would also find opportunities for Gu An to gain experience.
The Nine Abysses World seemed to have no distinction between day and night, and the blood-red sky only had clouds moving.
Gu An, holding the Destiny Pen and standing on the Heavens' Lodge, followed the pace of the main force, with An Xian by his side, discussing the previous battle with Long Qing.
Gu An's gaze fell on Wu Jue, who was at the forefront.
Wu Jue and Xuan Tianyi were the backbone of the Taixuan Sect disciples. Watching Wu Jue holding his own, Gu An couldn't help but recall his timid self from back then, feeling a surge of emotion.
If possible, Gu An hoped this trial would last a few more days, but the Freedom Immortal Heaven Demon was about to break free from his control.
In just half a day, one-third of the Heaven Demons had been killed.
Over ten thousand miles away.
On a cliff, a man in black tightly furrowed his brows. He was none other than the Tyrant Demon Emperor.
"What's going on? The beings of the Heavenly Spirit Great World can't be this powerful..." The Tyrant Demon Emperor was filled with confusion.
In his opinion, although the Heavenly Spirit Great World's side had a numerical advantage, they shouldn't be performing this well. The Heaven Demons were clearly stronger.
The more the Tyrant Demon Emperor thought about it, the more anxious he became. He felt that there might be an unknown presence within the Nine Abysses World.
Even he, a Freedom Immortal, couldn't see through it? He first thought of the Holy Heaven of the Holy Court. He had heard that the Holy Heaven had reincarnated, could it be that the Holy Heaven had been drawn in and was secretly taking action?
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
He instantly disappeared from his original spot.
...
Wu Jue flew to Gu An's side and said, "According to the information we've gathered, we're also gaining the upper hand in other battlefields. You don't need to worry too much."
Gu An sighed, "How could I be worried? It's you all who are charging into the fray. I'm completely safe."
Wu Jue smiled, "But this is your first time venturing out of Taixuan Sect. I'm just concerned you might get anxious."
An Xian, standing beside them, covered her mouth to hide her laughter. Wu Jue thought she was laughing at Gu An, so he didn't think much of it.
Long Qing, standing behind Gu An, poked his head out and asked excitedly, "Senior Wu, when will the next battle commence?"
During the previous battle, Long Qing had also taken action, and his formidable physique had surprised many Taixuan Sect disciples. It was incredible that this kid, without a trace of spiritual power, could display such dominance.
Wu Jue turned to him and smiled, "Soon, I suppose."
After consecutively slaying Heaven Demons, Wu Jue had started to underestimate them, feeling they weren't as terrifying as he had imagined.
Just as Wu Jue was about to continue speaking, he noticed Long Qing's wide eyes, staring tensely at the sky. Wu Jue instinctively turned to look, and above the blood-red sky, a pair of giant eyes appeared—the eyes of Tyrant Demon Emperor.
The Tyrant Demon Emperor seemed to be searching for something, his gaze rapidly shifting. Aside from Gu An, anyone who met his gaze felt their hearts race with fear.
Under those eyes, even the most talented beings instinctively felt terror.
The entire Nine Abysses World fell into silence, and all beings looked up at the Tyrant Demon Emperor's eyes.
At the edge of a forest, Zhu Xi gazed up at the Tyrant Demon Emperor, her eyes filled with worry. The cultivators and demons above the forest were equally tense.
"Dear Heavens, please let me survive this tribulation..." Zhu Xi prayed silently, having participated in the battle earlier but never getting close to the Heaven Demons, only providing assistance.
As the Tyrant Demon Emperor's eyes appeared, the excitement in everyone's hearts vanished.
Even if they could defeat the Heaven Demons, what then?
To leave alive, the demonic eye in the sky was an obstacle they couldn't avoid.
Suddenly!
The Tyrant Demon Emperor's eyes widened, and the pupil-less orbs emitted an eerie red light. Everyone's expressions changed, and they fell into a daze.
Those in the air descended to the earth and mountains, while the Heaven Demons retreated, as if they had received an order and didn't take advantage of the situation.
Gu An sensed that the consciousness of those around him had fallen into some sort of illusion.
Everyone was facing their greatest fears.
Gu An pretended to succumb to the illusion, allowing it to envelop him. He landed on a hillside with Long Qing.
The Tyrant Demon Emperor's gaze fell upon Ji Xiaoyu, and his expression became peculiar. He then shifted his gaze to Long Qing.
Everyone was in agony, except for Long Qing, who remained calm.
The giant eye in the sky disappeared.
The Tyrant Demon Emperor appeared out of thin air beside Long Qing, scrutinizing him.
Long Qing showed no fear at all. In his illusion, he was running through a bright world, calling out for Gu An and An Xian.
"Could he be the reincarnation of Dragon Purity Emperor?"
The Tyrant Demon Emperor's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand, intending to touch Long Qing's forehead.
Slap!
Suddenly!
A hand grabbed the Tyrant Demon Emperor's right wrist, causing his face to twitch slightly. He looked at Gu An beside Long Qing in surprise.
"Holy Heaven?"
The Tyrant Demon Emperor frowned and said, "You should realize that I have no intention of complete annihilation. I'm merely searching for Dragon Purity Emperor. Don't you, of the Dragon Clan of the Battle Court, have a grudge against them?"
It turned out that the Tyrant Demon Emperor feared not only the Heavenly Dao Fortune but also Holy Heaven.
[Tyrant Demon Emperor (Tranquil Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer): 37,902,765/100,000,000/200,000,000]
Such a long lifespan!
A pity to let him live!
Gu An asked, "How can you be sure I'm Holy Heaven?"
Upon hearing this, the Tyrant Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically. Instinctively, he tried to teleport away but was horrified to find himself unable to move.
Impossible!
The Tyrant Demon Emperor channeled the power of cause and effect, yet he couldn't budge Gu An, which only increased his terror.
"Who are you?"
The Tyrant Demon Emperor stared at Gu An, his voice trembling with fear.
Gu An asked, "Why are you looking for Dragon Purity Emperor?"
Hearing this, the Tyrant Demon Emperor's face turned desperate, and he muttered, "The Dragon Clan still hides a powerful figure..."
Seeing his reluctance to answer, Gu An lost patience and directly attacked the Tyrant Demon Emperor's soul with his divine sense.
Great Soul Imprisonment Immortal Technique!
Search his memories!
After a dozen breaths, Gu An retracted his divine sense. With a squeeze of his right hand, the Tyrant Demon Emperor instantly turned to ash, and a blood-red orb floated in front of him.
Gu An's eyes narrowed, and the terrifying power of cause and effect instantly crushed the orb into nothingness.
[You have successfully taken 6,230,567 years of lifespan from Tyrant Demon Emperor (Tranquil Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer)]
Over six million years of lifespan!
Gu An's face lit up with joy. Truly worthy of a Tranquil Immortal!
