Chapter 500: Establishing a Dao Site
Chapter 500: Establishing a Dao Site
As the Sword God's sword intent erupted, Gu An, through his sword intent, caught a glimpse of the Sword God's past.
Over countless years, countless peak battles in the Sword Dao pushed the Sword God's sword path to greater heights.
After defeating his opponents, he would devour their sword paths, strengthening his own.
The Sword God raised his right hand, and his sword intent pointed towards Gu An. In an instant, countless sword shadows appeared in the darkness behind him, each emitting a different sword intent, like a galaxy of stars suddenly illuminating the void. The vast sword light shone upon Gu An, but it couldn't dispel the demonic energy emanating from the Heavenly Shadow Purple Microcosmic Holy Dao Body.
Gu An lifted his sword, pointing the Sky Residence Sword directly at the Sword God.
As he raised his sword, an immense silver sword shadow appeared behind him, quickly solidifying into a giant, as if it were half the size of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Eternal Boundless Divine Sword!
The ultimate sword art evolved from the Li Family Sword Art! Gu An did not use Yang Xian's Saint Heart Sword Dao, fearing that the Sword God would recognize it.
Even without the Saint Heart Sword Dao, he was confident in defeating the Sword God.
Even if they were of the same realm!
Gu An had integrated the memories of Long Zhan, Lu Han, Ji, and Yang Xian from his previous life. In a sense, he had become these individuals, and with his own lifespan evolution, his strength was unfathomable.
Aside from the invincible Ji, within the same realm, Gu An felt it would be difficult to lose. Moreover, he and the Sword God were not of the same realm.
The majestic sword intent of the Eternal Boundless Divine Sword was like the sharpest will in the universe, causing the Sword God to furrow his brows slightly.
The Sword God did not underestimate Gu An, but he was still astonished by Gu An's sword intent.
"What is the name of this sword art?" the Sword God asked.
"Eternal Boundless Divine Sword," Gu An replied.
Gu An pointed his sword at the Sword God, and the Eternal Boundless Divine Sword in the Return to Simplicity Realm burst forth with dazzling brilliance, illuminating half of the universe's void.
The Sword God recited the name of the Eternal Boundless Divine Sword, then waved his hand, unleashing his sword intent. Countless sword shadows behind him erupted with vast sword energy, sweeping towards Gu An.
At the same time, the Heavenly Spirit Great World, which had just regained its sunshine, trembled. The survivors, having narrowly escaped calamity, were once again startled, especially the sword cultivators and sword masters of the world. Their swords trembled incessantly, as if ready to unsheathe at any moment.
Jue Luo Sword Lord, who was in the midst of comprehending the Heavenly Dao Theory, looked up, his face filled with disbelief.
"Such a domineering sword art... and there are even two of them..."
Jue Luo Sword Lord muttered to himself. His divine sense quickly probed the universe, but he soon retracted it, covering his chest with his right hand.
His sword art had suffered a backlash!
If not for his quick reaction, his sword art might have crumbled.
He couldn't see Gu An or the Sword God, only the vast sword arts of the two.
Even without seeing the masters of the sword arts, Jue Luo Sword Lord had a guess.
It must be the Dao Support Sword Venerable and the Sword God!
He had previously suspected that the Sword God had come to this universe, but when he saw the two of them in action, he was stunned once more.
What kind of sword mastery was required to possess such a vast momentum?
The celestial anomaly lasted for less than ten breaths before the world quickly returned to calm. However, the creatures did not dare to relax, remaining tense and anxiously awaiting the possibility of an even more terrifying catastrophe.
On the other side, within the woods, Gu An sat on a rock beside a stream. He summoned his attribute panel.
Name: Gu An
Lifespan: 2,144/7,907,228,501
Constitution: Primordial Boundless Constitution
Cultivation: Complete Primordial Golden Immortal Realm
...
Seven billion and ninety million years of lifespan! Before today, his lifespan was only one hundred million years, but now it had increased by seven billion and eighty million years.
Thanks to the Battle Court!
Gu An was moved, realizing that killing enemies brought swift increases in lifespan. Previously, it had taken him many years to accumulate one hundred million years of lifespan.
However, he only thought about it and would not go on a killing spree. The lessons from the Lifespan Cycle were enough; his ability to hide his lifespan-taking power had allowed him to grow steadily until today.
He even suspected that the Annihilation Emperor was so obsessed with the Dragon Clan because Long Zhan became stronger through slaughter. Perhaps the Annihilation Emperor believed that members of the Dragon Clan could rapidly grow stronger through killing, which was why he repeatedly possessed the descendants of the Dragon Clan.
Gu An recalled the Sword God he had just fought.
To prevent his identity from being exposed, Gu An severely injured the Sword God, who fled and would likely need many years to recover, but at least he wouldn't die.
Whether it was Long Zhan or Yang Xian, Gu An didn't want their identities to be revealed.
The Lifespan Cycle was far more advanced than the reincarnation he had encountered so far. The Lifespan Cycle could project into the past and future, and even change fate—how terrifying!
If this matter were exposed, Gu An would undoubtedly attract the wariness of more powerful beings.
He watched as the Sword God disappeared into the Sword Dao River.
The Sword Dao River, the Destiny River, and the Time River were all entities independent of the universe, only accessible through the Grand Dao. They were dangerous and mysterious, and whether they could lead to other universes was still uncertain. Perhaps the Sword God had come through the Sword Dao River.
But Gu An also felt that the Boundary Gate wasn't just for show; to transcend the universe, one would always have to surpass the Heavenly Spirit Deity.
Time passed quickly in Gu An's thoughts.
Half an hour later, the beings of the world completely relaxed. Although they didn't know what had happened, the fact that the world had returned to peace was a good thing.
After another half-hour, Yi Xiaqiang and the others finally arrived at the agreed-upon location. When they saw Gu An, they were all delighted and immediately rushed over.
Three boys and girls burst into tears on the spot, having been terrified when the world suddenly darkened earlier.
Gu An smiled at them but didn't comfort them, letting them vent their emotions.
Yi Xiaqiang looked at Gu An and asked, "Immortal, do you know why the sky suddenly darkened earlier?"
Gu An shook his head. "How would I know? I only have a basic understanding of cultivation techniques. Do you really think I'm an immortal? This world is far larger than you imagine. In the future, you'll find it more interesting to explore on your own than to ask me."
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaqiang fell into infinite daydreams.
After they calmed down, Gu An began to teach them the Qi Condensation Technique. All five of them had good natural talent, and in less than half a day, they all cultivated a strand of Spiritual Energy.
It wasn't until dusk that Gu An allowed them to leave.
Compared to their first separation, the five were more relaxed, feeling that Gu An was genuinely going to teach them.
After seeing them off into the depths of the forest, Gu An walked in the opposite direction.
In a single step, he arrived ten thousand miles away, a place rarely visited by humans, filled with abundant Essence Energy, and more Flower-Vegetation-Tree Demons than Beast Demons.
Gu An came to a high mountain and stood at the edge of a cliff. With a thought, he began to establish a Lifespan Arena.
[Please select the range of the Dao Site you wish to establish.]
A prompt appeared, and Gu An immediately confirmed.
He encircled an area with a radius of five thousand li.
[Consuming 500,000,000 years of lifespan. Do you choose to continue?]
Five hundred million years of lifespan—that's acceptable!
Gu An was genuinely afraid that this would consume a significant amount of his lifespan, perhaps even an endless amount.
If that were the case, he could only give up on the Lifespan Arena.
As he made up his mind, he clearly felt the space tremble, and at the same time, a vast amount of memory poured into his mind, allowing him to understand everything within the arena.
Simultaneously, he needed to store lifespan in the arena to prevent powerful enemies from invading. The arena's maximum defensive power was equivalent to his cultivation, and each time it was attacked, the corresponding lifespan would be deducted.
Gu An hesitated for a moment, then stored ten billion years of lifespan in the arena.
Within the Heavenly Spirit Great World, no one could launch a powerful assault on his arena. He stored ten billion years of lifespan as a precaution.
