Chapter 499: Sword Against Sword, A Battle of Sword Dao Across Time
Chapter 499: Sword Against Sword, A Battle of Sword Dao Across Time
[You successfully obtained 2,809,837,622 years of lifespan from Tyrant Heaven Mechanism (Late Profound Origin Freedom Realm)]
Seeing the prompt before him, Gu An's mood improved, and he looked up.
The powerful cultivators from the Battle Court maintained their distance, gazing at the giant hall in disbelief.
The Tyrant Heaven Mechanism had vanished right before Gu An's eyes, leaving them feeling incredulous. In their minds, the Tyrant Heaven Mechanism was so powerful; how could it have been so easily defeated? It wasn't until the giant hand above the Heavenly Spirit Great World suddenly dissipated that the Battle Court cultivators finally snapped out of their shock.
"Not good! Our master has fallen!"
"How is that possible? Who is he?"
"And those divine messengers as well..."
"Not good! Run!"
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible..."
The Battle Court erupted into chaos, and many powerful cultivators immediately fled.
Gu An slightly shifted his right foot, and in an instant, the powerful cultivators of the Battle Court exploded, turning into blood mist that spread across the void.
With the opportunity to strike, why not earn some extra lifespan? However, he wouldn't kill all the beings of the Battle Court, as that would make him appear like a mortal enemy. He wanted to maintain the image of acting for the sake of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Randomly selecting a group of beings from the Battle Court to eliminate, their unfortunate deaths were their own fate!
One after another, prompts appeared before Gu An, further lifting his spirits.
Being able to protect the lives of the masses while benefiting himself, how could he not be delighted? The Yang Xian Emperor and Saint Chancellor remained in their original spots, feeling both delighted and perplexed as they witnessed the Battle Court, which had once given them such despair, being so easily defeated by the Dao Support Sword Venerable.
Thinking of their own ambitions and past calculations, they suddenly found their past selves laughable.
At the same time, they held even greater respect for the Dao Support Sword Venerable. Possessing such strength yet maintaining a gentle demeanor in their interactions, his attitude of showing goodwill to the weak was truly formidable.
Soon, the void fell silent once more.
Gu An sensed numerous powerful divine senses sweeping by, but they all quickly retracted. This battle had indeed attracted the attention of the mighty beings in the depths of the universe, but no one dared to provoke Gu An. They even regretted their excessive curiosity, fearing that Gu An would take notice of them.
Gu An did not communicate with the Yang Xian Emperor and the Saint Chancellor. He soared into the sky, collecting the nine suns into his palm before heading towards the depths of the universe.
The beings of the Heavenly Spirit Great World returned to the light of day, and the terrifying pressure that enveloped the world dissipated. The beings began to converse, discussing what had just transpired.
Even though they didn't fully understand what had happened, they felt as if they had narrowly escaped a calamity.
Long Qing was still kneeling on the ground, his hands covering his head. He gasped for breath, looking utterly miserable. Finally, someone noticed his state, and many, including An Xin, gathered around him.
After seeing the Dao Support Sword Venerable disappear into the depths of the universe, the Saint Chancellor approached the Yang Xian Emperor and asked with a frown, "Has he left?"
The Yang Xian Emperor glanced at him and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"The Taixuan Sect has been spreading the news that the Dao Support Sword Venerable intends to leave them. It has been over a hundred years since he last returned to the Taixuan Sect, and this time..." The Saint Chancellor hesitated, as he had also planted spies within the Taixuan Sect and was well-informed about its affairs.
Upon hearing this, the Yang Xian Emperor's eyebrows furrowed.
From Gu An's perspective, he also felt that Gu An might grow weary.
In his understanding, Gu An was indeed a reclusive great cultivator who did not crave anything.
But just thinking about such a mighty being leaving the Heavenly Spirit Great World made his heart feel uneasy.
Could it be that the reincarnation anomaly from the previous days signified an even more terrifying calamity?
The Yang Xian Emperor and the Saint Chancellor both fell silent, and the giant hall of the Battle Court was completely engulfed in darkness, losing all its radiance.
In the darkness, the Saint Chancellor spoke softly, "Regardless of whether he leaves or not, his achievements today must be made known to all beings. That so-called Heavenly Dao has never aided us; only he has shouldered everything."
Even the Yang Xian Emperor, who had inherited the power of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, held no favor for the so-called Heavenly Dao. He replied, "I think so too. Even if he never returns, even if we eventually face our end, at least while we are still alive, we should be grateful to him.
In the dark void, Gu An took slow steps forward, playing with nine golden beads in his hand. These were the nine suns from earlier, containing various powers of the Great Way.
He was cleansing the karma within them.
The reason he was walking towards the depths of the universe wasn't to deliberately mislead the Yang Xian Emperor and his companion, but for another matter.
He stopped and said, "You've been watching for so long, it's time to show yourself, right?"
As his voice fell, a silver-blue sword aura appeared within the thick mist of the Great Way ahead, quickly transforming into a human figure.
This was a man in a blue Daoist robe, with white hair and a headpiece resembling a sword sheath. He stood with his back to the darkness, exuding an ancient and weathered aura. His gaze was incredibly sharp, and standing there, he was like an eternal divine sword, timeless and indestructible.
[Sword God (Early Luo Tian Freedom Immortal Realm): 0/0/0]
Hmm?
Age, current lifespan, and maximum lifespan are all zero.
Either a flesh-and-blood clone or a non-living entity, similar to the existence of a divine ghost king, devoid of lifespan and freedom, attached to some powerful force, in exchange for immortality.
Gu An stared at the Sword God, feeling a bit emotional.
This Sword God was Yang Xian's disciple, Yang Ping'an.
Compared to the Yang Ping'an in his reincarnation memory, this Sword God was weathered, exuding a gloomy aura, but the sword intent in his eyes was even stronger than Gu An's memory of him.
In a sense, Yang Ping'an had surpassed Yang Xian, for when Yang Xian died, he was only a Profound Origin Freedom Immortal.
A Profound Origin Freedom Immortal at three hundred thousand years old, now thinking about it, Yang Xian's talent was extremely terrifying, and this was without relying on lifespan evolution.
Putting aside the Heavenly Spirit Deity, Sword God Yang Ping'an was the first Luo Tian Freedom Immortal that Gu An had encountered!
Previously, Gu An had sensed Yang Ping'an's sword aura, but it had vanished in an instant.
Meeting his former disciple again, Gu An's feelings were still complex.
The Sword God raised his right hand, using his finger as a sword, and sword aura emanated from his fingertip. He stared at Gu An and said, "Your sword path is strong, and you are the opponent I seek."
Gu An maintained his Heavenly Obscure Purple Microcosmic Holy Dao Body, and the Sword God couldn't see his expression. He asked in confusion, "Opponent?"
"I travel through the vast world, seeking strong sword cultivators, only to achieve the strongest sword path, and you have the qualifications to become my opponent."
The Sword God's tone was devoid of emotion, but as his words fell, a vast sword intent enveloped the void.
Gu An clearly felt the Heavenly Spirit Deity, far below the Boundary Gate, opening his eyes and staring at them.
Even the commotion caused by the Battle Court earlier hadn't attracted the Heavenly Spirit Deity, but the Sword God's sword intent had startled him, proving the Sword God's strength.
What domineering sword intent!
Gu An raised his right hand, and the Sky Residence Sword, a gift from Li Ai, appeared in his hand.
This sword, considered a divine weapon in the mortal realm, was less durable than a falling star here, but as Gu An's sword aura covered the blade, this sword from the mortal realm transformed into the sharpest sword in the universe.
The Sword God's expression changed slightly, and for some reason, he felt a sense of deja vu from Gu An.
He lowered his right hand, and the sword aura pointed downwards, as if he were holding a sword.
The void darkened, the mist of the Great Way surged, and their standoff caused spatial ripples.
"Let me see how strong you are after enduring such a long period of time."
Gu An thought to himself. Yang Xian's final wish before his death was to spar with his disciple, helping him improve his sword path, but the Heavenly Spirit Deity hadn't given him that chance.
"You remind me of an old friend, and I won't show mercy." The Sword God spoke, and his sword intent suddenly erupted.
The thick mist of the Great Way around them was directly annihilated, and absolute darkness threatened to engulf them, but it couldn't consume their sword light.
Sword against sword, this was a sword battle across time!
