Chapter 459: An Even More Terrifying Existence
Chapter 459: An Even More Terrifying Existence
The three words, "Freedom Immortal," deeply etched themselves into the hearts of Tian Qing and Tian Bai, as they both set their sights on achieving the Freedom Immortal realm. Many years later, they would come to realize how unattainably distant this goal was.
Although Tian Yao'er was curious about what had just transpired, her immediate task was to break through her current cultivation level.
Closing her eyes, she adjusted her mindset and reentered a state of profound comprehension.
The heavenly tribulation continued.
The Demon Emperor of the Heavens, who had suppressed the seven Freedom Immortals, died silently, unnoticed by anyone, as if he had never set foot in the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Gu An, while keeping an eye on Tian Yao'er's tribulation, used his divine consciousness to cover the world, continuing to exterminate demons and saving mortal spirits along the way.
The Primordial Abyss Demon God's roars echoed incessantly, and countless lives perished under his power with each passing moment. More and more sects began to converge on the location of the Primordial Abyss Demon God.
Despite the Primordial Abyss Demon God's formidable aura, they had to confront him to protect the Heavenly Spirit Great World, their homeland, leaving them with no choice but to engage.
Gu An noticed that the Freedom Immortals, including Yang Xian Emperor, had not perished but were all gathered in one place, seemingly in deep discussion.
...
In a valley, seven Freedom Immortals sat cross-legged on the grass, their auras weak, some with flames still burning on their bodies, looking utterly disheveled.
The Holy Ancestor opened his eyes and looked at the white-robed elder standing not far away with his back to them. He asked, "Who are you, and why did you save us? You don't seem to belong to the Heavenly Spirit Great World."
As the eldest among the seven Freedom Immortals, he had never seen this white-robed elder before, hence his conclusion.
This white-robed elder was none other than the Reincarnation who had once visited the Third Medicine Valley and had a face-off with Absolute Luo Sword Lord.
The white-robed elder did not turn around. Instead, he spoke calmly, "The vastness of the world is such that even Freedom Immortals may not fully comprehend it. I saved you because I have a connection to the Heavenly Spirit Great World."
"After countless divinations, I see no hope. Perhaps the Divine Principle wants to cleanse the mortal realm, and the Annihilation Domain is taking advantage of the situation. It's best for you to leave early and find another path."
Upon hearing this, the Freedom Immortals' faces paled.
"Senior, since you can save us from the Primordial Abyss Demon God, your abilities must be beyond our imagination. If the Heavenly Spirit Great World is destroyed, where can we go? Although there are many Great Worlds, they are all guarded by powerful beings. Can you show us a way to survive?" Ancient Immortal Emperor spoke with a heavy tone.
The other Freedom Immortals echoed his words, as they carried the fortune of the Holy Court or the Immortal Dynasty, which was bound to the world. If the Heavenly Spirit Great World were destroyed, their fortune would scatter, causing their cultivation to regress or, worse, their demise.
It was the fortune of the world that blessed the Holy Court and prevented it from uprooting the Immortal Dynasty.
The white-robed elder, still facing away from them, shook his head and said, "You don't understand what you're facing. Whether it's the Demon Clan or the forces from the Obscure Void, they are not the main cause of the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Great World. They are merely taking advantage of the situation."
These words silenced the Freedom Immortals. After living for so many years, how could they not know about the existence of the Divine Principle? Ancient legends also recorded similar calamities.
When the Divine Principle wants to reset the world, various tribulations will be drawn.
After a while, Yang Xian Emperor broke the silence, staring at the white-robed elder, and asked, "Then, what are you seeking, Senior?"
The white-robed elder turned around and looked at him, saying, "I'm searching for someone."
"Who?"
"That, I cannot tell you."
The white-robed elder's words caused Yang Xian Emperor to frown. He thought of Dao Support Sword Venerable, and wondered if the powerful beings from beyond the heavens over the years were also searching for a particular existence.
Roar!
The Primordial Abyss Demon God's roar echoed from afar once more, this time sounding more strained and desperate. It was evident that someone was attacking him.
A smile appeared on the white-robed elder's face as he said, "Don't challenge the Primordial Abyss Demon God again. None of you are his match, and behind him stands an even more transcendent existence. Even if you manage to destroy him, you'll only invite more terrifying tribulations. When that happens, I can only flee."
An even more terrifying existence?
Hearing this, the Freedom Immortals turned ashen.
The Primordial Abyss Demon God alone was enough to make them despair. What kind of existence was behind him, pulling the strings?
"Senior, do you know Dao Support Sword Venerable?" One of the Freedom Immortals couldn't help but ask.
Dao Support Sword Venerable's name had already shaken the world, but since he did not act recklessly, few mentioned him. However, for high-level cultivators, it was hard to ignore his existence.
The White Robed Elder's expression turned subtle at the mention of the four characters, "Dao Support Sword Venerable." He replied, "I don't know him, but I have witnessed his brilliance. He is also a being who transcends the ninth level of the Immortal Path. It's best you mention him sparingly, lest you attract great cause and effect. As for seeking his help, that's even more impossible. If he were to intervene, our future enemies would undoubtedly be of a similar caliber."
The Freedom Immortals completely lost hope and looked up in confusion.
The dark clouds in the sky were oppressively dense, blocking out the sun and any glimmer of hope.
...
Several hours later, with Gu An's assistance, the Heavenly Demon Child successfully overcame her tribulation. Overwhelmed with excitement, her clothes tore open, startling Gu An, who immediately used his magical power to conceal her, preventing her from revealing her true form.
Gu An suddenly noticed the corners of the Heavenly Demon Child's mouth curling upwards and silently wondered, "Could she have done that on purpose?"
He was a gentleman and would never look more than necessary.
Moreover, with his cultivation, he wouldn't forget what he saw with a single glance.
Tian Qing and Tian Bai also observed Gu An's expression. Seeing his unchanging demeanor, the two women began communicating through sound transmission.
"Do you think the master likes her?"
"Probably not. He didn't even react."
"The less he reacts, the more it shows he's moved."
"Is that so? Should we do the same when we break through next time?"
"Then we should have different physiques so that the master will find it refreshing."
Gu An sighed inwardly upon hearing their sound transmission.
What do they think I am? Gu An couldn't understand them, including Jiang Qiong, who always lusted after his body.
His junior sister was the same, but he could understand her. After all, they had grown up together, journeying from mortals to where they were now, and their feelings had naturally developed.
Each with their own thoughts, they waited for the Heavenly Demon Child to stabilize her cultivation.
The Heavenly Demon Child's rapid breakthrough was also due to Gu An's assistance. Normally, it wouldn't be unusual for her to take several days to stabilize after overcoming her tribulation.
They waited until dusk when the Heavenly Demon Child finally stabilized her breath.
She stood up, wrapped in a loose white robe, and threw herself at Gu An. He could feel her body as she hugged him.
"Alright, now that you've reached the Nirvana Realm, be mindful of your conduct," Gu An said sternly.
The Heavenly Demon Child looked up at him with a playful smile. "I won't. I want to stay like this, even if it means hanging on the master forever, I'm willing."
"Hang on forever? Won't you get tired?" Gu An shook his head and chuckled.
The Heavenly Demon Child blinked and asked, "What about a hundred years?"
A hundred years?
Gu An's face twitched, and he immediately pushed her away.
Tian Qing and Tian Bai surrounded her, asking about her current feelings.
The Heavenly Demon Child was excited and began to describe the wonders of the Nirvana Realm. Tian Qing and Tian Bai listened intently, and Gu An wasn't in a hurry to leave, continuing to eradicate demons.
In this half-day, his lifespan harvest had already reached nearly ten billion years. If he were to cultivate diligently, it would take over a hundred years.
With Gu An's secret assistance, the Demon Sect was temporarily unable to overthrow the world, and the Primordial Abyss Demon God's slaughtering methods weren't too extreme in his efforts to preserve the world.
Night fell.
After sending the Heavenly Demon Child and the three women back to the Secluded Paradise, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley.
Before going upstairs, he sensed Ji Xiaoyu's aura.
Ji Xiaoyu's cultivation had already reached the Immortal Path realm, and the power accumulated by her Heavenly Origin Talisman could erupt at any moment.
Without pausing, Gu An went upstairs and entered the room. He walked to the desk and sat down, picking up a book to read.
Today, he had eliminated many heavenly demons and saved countless mortal spirits, giving him peace of mind, so he was in the mood to read.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, footsteps approached from outside the door. Gu An waved his hand, and the door opened, allowing Ji Xiaoyu to enter.
She stood at the doorway, and with no moonlight shining on her, she seemed like a shadow.
Gu An looked up at her and asked, "Are you ready?"
Ji Xiaoyu's face was calm as she replied, "The battle with the Tyrant of the Demon King is a promise between him and me. I must defeat him to overcome the mental barrier of defeat in my heart."
"But you're restricted by the cycle law and can't possibly be his match," Gu An asked, feigning concern.
He began to calculate Ji Xiaoyu's fate.
As expected, the future had changed again!
