Chapter 479: A Sword
Chapter 479: A Sword
Gu An held the Boundless Sword Scripture and walked towards the rocking chair where he often sat.
Upon seeing him, Xu Ling, who was meditating beside the park, immediately stood up and bowed to him.
The Deep Sea Carp was even bolder, as he was already familiar with Gu An. He approached curiously and asked, "Boundless Sword Scripture? What kind of book is this?"
Gu An casually replied, "It's a forbidden book. Don't look at it. Hurry up and cultivate. Don't delay my reading."
Seeing that his master was not as gentle as usual, the Deep Sea Carp quickly slipped away.
Gu An then took out the Destiny Pen. With one hand, he flipped through the Boundless Sword Scripture, while the other hand held the pen, its tip hovering over the pages.
This was the first time he had used the Boundless Sword Scripture, and he was filled with anticipation.
Just as the enemy might come from beyond the universe, he wasn't sure if he could execute them.
And after the execution, could he gain lifespan?
He stopped thinking about these things and instead focused his cause and effect power on the Boundless Sword Scripture.
...
In the vast universe, countless nebulae were scattered, some resembling running giants, some like the hands of a creator, and others like mysterious and ferocious beasts. Everything appeared fantastical and surreal.
A sword light streaked through the universe, with two figures standing at its forefront. One was a tall and handsome man in purple robes, while the other was an old man with a stooped back.
The purple-robed man wore a crystal crown, and his brows exuded a sharp aura. In his eyes, two swords were reflected, making his gaze even more oppressive.
The old man beside him was shorter than the man's shoulders, holding a wooden staff. His cheeks had gray spots, and amidst his white hair, two antlers stood erect, resembling deer antlers.
"Master, are you really going to act on behalf of the Divine Emperor? Those who cannot be controlled by the Divine Emperor must be extraordinary," the Antlered Elder said, his brows furrowed with worry.
The Lone Sword Life, the purple-robed man, spoke, "If it were that simple, the Divine Emperor wouldn't have sought me out. His identity indeed makes it difficult to pass through the boundary gate. If I want to reach a higher realm, I can only rely on him. I can already feel my own limits."
"Although I can still live for many years, almost immortal, I feel that I cannot reach a higher realm."
The Antlered Elder fell silent.
He also wished for his master to become stronger, but the thought of going to that universe made him anxious.
"As long as they don't surpass the Profound Marvel Immortal, they won't be my match. If there really is such a formidable existence, the Heavenly Spirit Deity won't allow it to continue growing," Lone Sword Life continued calmly.
His gaze seemed to have already crossed the universe's space-time, landing on the Heavenly Spirit Great Universe.
The Antlered Elder sighed, "The Heavenly Spirit Deity is indeed formidable. Even when the Great Principle is in turmoil, he remains steadfast. It seems there's a great secret there."
"Then it has nothing to do with us. The Divine Emperor won't interfere with such cause and effect."
Lone Sword Life's words made the Antlered Elder nod. He didn't want to talk more about the Heavenly Spirit Deity, fearing it might be taboo.
Just then,
The sword light beneath their feet suddenly stagnated and then dissipated. Everything happened too suddenly, startling the Antlered Elder, who turned to look at Lone Sword Life.
Lone Sword Life's body trembled, and his face showed fear.
"Master, what's wrong?" the Antlered Elder asked anxiously.
Cold sweat dripped from Lone Sword Life's forehead, and he struggled to speak, "Quick... run..."
Run?
The Antlered Elder was shocked, instinctively looking around. His divine sense spread out, but he couldn't detect any danger.
He turned to Lone Sword Life again. He had never seen Lone Sword Life so tense, not even during the Profound Marvel Immortal Tribulation years ago.
"Master..." The Antlered Elder was also flustered, unsure of what to do, and he didn't even know what had happened.
"There... is a sword... Can't you see it...?"
Jian Guoming spoke with difficulty, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, staring intently ahead.
The Antlered Elder followed his gaze but couldn't see anything.
"Where is it? How far is it from us?" The Antlered Elder asked anxiously.
"Right in... front of us..."
Jian Guoming's answer made the Antlered Elder's hair stand on end, as if he were standing at the edge of an abyss.
He was a cultivator of the Dao Repository Freedom Immortal realm, yet he couldn't see anything. He believed that his master wouldn't lie, nor would he see an illusion; it could only be that his cultivation was insufficient, unable to perceive the sword.
"Let's run!" The Antlered Elder gritted his teeth.
Jian Guoming's pupils trembled, unable to respond.
At this moment, in front of Jian Guoming, a giant sword that defied description hovered in the distance. Its tip was less than a hundred zhang away from them, and from afar, it seemed as if they were right next to this giant sword. Its length and size were unfathomable, and in front of this sword, they were even more insignificant than dust.
This sword was the very image of the Azure Crane Sword, and although it didn't emit dazzling brilliance, it gave Jian Guoming an endless sense of pressure.
Jian Guoming felt the breath of death.
Terrifyingly powerful cause and effect power emanated from this sword, engulfing him like a tidal wave. He tried to resist with his own sword intent, but it was futile; the sword's tip continued to advance.
Jian Guoming couldn't escape or counterattack; he could only do his utmost to resist, but the more he did, the stronger the pressure he felt.
By now, he couldn't even speak, and in his sensory world, the Antlered Elder had already disappeared.
Seeing that Jian Guoming couldn't respond, the Antlered Elder's body trembled even more violently, which made him even more panicked.
What kind of power could push the master to such an extent?
He was torn between escaping and staying to accompany the master. But even if he stayed, he couldn't be of any help.
This Dao Repository Freedom Immortal had never felt so powerless before.
Suddenly!
Jian Guoming's eyes widened, and he said, "Quick..."
He had barely uttered a word when the entire universe suddenly fell silent. The Antlered Elder's eyes widened, and as he watched, Jian Guoming instantly exploded, turning into countless stars.
These stars were all Jian Guoming's sword intent, and they, too, were dissipating.
The Antlered Elder's eyes widened, and his mouth opened unconsciously.
A Profound Freedom Immortal had died just like that? How was that possible!
...
【You have successfully taken Jian Guoming's (Profound Freedom Immortal, mid-stage) 1,440,090,872 years of lifespan.】
A prompt popped up in front of Gu An, startling him so much that his eyes widened, and his mood instantly became excited.
It had actually succeeded!
He had obtained over fourteen billion years of lifespan in one go!
It was more effective than a hundred years of diligent cultivation!
The key was that Gu An had executed the killing with his cause and effect power without personally appearing before his enemy.
Previously, neither his clones nor puppets could help him take away lifespans, so he had hesitated to use his cause and effect power.
In the future, wouldn't it mean that he could hide in the shadows and recklessly harvest enemies' lifespans?
Gu An's heart raced, unable to calm down.
In this instant, he imagined numerous possibilities, even giving birth to dark thoughts.
Just then, Gu An sensed something, and his face changed slightly. He immediately stood up and walked towards the Tranquil Spirit Palace's gate.
