Chapter 580: Abyssal Dao Sea, The Battle Court's Demise
Chapter 580: Abyssal Dao Sea, The Battle Court's Demise
High above in the clouds, Tian Mie Shen and the Green-Robed Daoist stared at the illusion before them, remaining silent for a long time.
The Green-Robed Daoist took a deep breath and turned to Tian Mie Shen, asking, "Your Long family still has such a formidable figure?"
Tian Mie Shen's expression grew even more complex, his mind filled with mixed emotions.
He had never met Long Zhan, which meant the latter had passed away before his birth.
He recalled what his father had once said about their ancestor...
When he displayed his innate talent, his father had mentioned that it was the family's innate gift, all thanks to the ancestor, Long Zhan.
However, Long Zhan had died soon after transcending the ninth heaven of the Immortal Dao, and in his heart, he had never considered him a powerful figure.
But now, after witnessing his strength, he felt that even if his true self were to come, he wouldn't stand a chance against Long Zhan, leaving him utterly perplexed.
Could it be that Long Zhan had only pretended to die, and his current good fortune was due to Long Zhan's protection from the shadows?
Tian Mie Shen's confusion deepened as he pondered.
The Green-Robed Daoist clicked his tongue in amazement, "Speaking of which, the Great Dao Rules in that place are so well-established, it must be a Vast Universe. Such a grand battle didn't even disturb the Heavenly Deities, could it be that the deities of this realm have already met with misfortune?"
"If that's the case, then it's likely they met their end..."
Before he could finish, Tian Mie Shen's cold gaze fell upon him.
The Green-Robed Daoist chuckled and didn't continue.
He waved his hand, dispelling the illusion in front of them, then looked down at the land below, sighing, "The battle over there has ended, but the fighting here seems to be endless."
Tian Mie Shen also looked down, his gaze regaining its previous indifference.
...
In a bright hall, layers of clouds filled the upper reaches, and mist swirled on the ground.
The Immortal Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, sitting on his throne, panting heavily, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
Behind his throne, a massive silver-white falling star hovered, its surface pockmarked, with strands of gray mist swirling around it, following some mysterious pattern.
The Immortal Emperor lifted his eyes, his gaze filled with shock and anger.
"Who... who are you..."
The Immortal Emperor had anticipated failure, but he hadn't expected such a vast gap between himself and his opponent. The thought of his sixteen Primordial Golden Immortals dying made his heart bleed.
He stood up, turned, and looked at the falling star behind his throne, his eyes filled with indignation.
"You said that person was also a Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal? Why couldn't I withstand even a single move of his?"
The Immortal Emperor's voice was heavy with suppressed killing intent.
The gray mist surrounding the falling star quickened its flow, and a cold voice emerged from within, "I miscalculated."
"Miscalculated? My sixteen disciples lacked the Battle Court's fortune and died completely. Among them, seven were top-notch talents for the Abyssal Dao Sea. Compared to me, they were still young, yet they perished in that Vast Universe. Do you know what this means to me?"
The Immortal Emperor's teeth clenched in anger, and a darker gray mist emanated from his body, resembling raging flames.
"I didn't force you; you were lured by the Immortal Palace's treasure, weren't you?" The cold voice spoke again.
"You..."
Just as the Immortal Emperor was about to continue, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, freezing his expression.
Before he could turn, the hand on his shoulder tightened, and he instantly turned into ashes. Gu An's figure appeared in its place.
[You have successfully taken 18,208,547 years of life from the Immortal Emperor (late stage of Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal).]
Seeing the prompt, Gu An secretly scorned.
It's not even as much as a Primordial Golden Immortal's lifespan! The stolen lifespan is about one-tenth of the victim's remaining life, meaning the Immortal Emperor can only live for one to two hundred million years.
Being named 'Immortal' implies he has lived for an incredibly long time.
Perhaps it was because he sensed his approaching demise that the Immortal Emperor chose to invade the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
It's not even close to the lifespan of the seven Primordial Golden Immortals.
Those seven Primordial Golden Immortals had granted Gu An over seven hundred billion years of lifespan, meaning each of them had at least a thousand billion years of life.
Based on Gu An's observations, Primordial Golden Immortals should have a lifespan of five thousand billion to fifty thousand billion years.
Gu An's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he looked at the silver-white falling star without changing his expression.
"Who are you, and how did you find this place? Have you reached the Supreme Purity Golden Immortal Realm?"
The cold voice that had spoken to the Immortal Emperor earlier sounded again, but this time, it carried a hint of tension.
Gu An slowly raised his right hand, forming a claw with his palm, and pulled a figure out from within the falling star, his throat colliding with Gu An's tiger's mouth.
This was an elderly man in a gray robe, his face gaunt, and his white hair tied back. Compared to the Immortal Emperor, his attire was neater, but facing Gu An, his fear made him appear disheveled and weak.
"Friend, let's talk this through. I'm from the Abyssal Dao Sea. If I die, they will surely notice. You're hiding in the Vast Universe, and I assume you don't want to attract more trouble, right?"
The gray-robed elder gritted his teeth, feeling a sense of dread as he realized he was immobilized from the moment Gu An entered the hall.
He couldn't fathom how Gu An had found this place.
[Nihai True Immortal (Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal Realm, Perfected): 49,802,308,928,702/50,000,000,000,000/50,000,000,000,000]
A lifespan of five hundred trillion years!
In other words, the lifespan of a Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal ranged from five trillion to five hundred trillion years.
Unfortunately, yet another old fellow nearing his end.
It was understandable; who wouldn't take risks when facing their limits?
Gu An didn't bother communicating with Nihai True Immortal; instead, his eyes suddenly changed.
This time, it wasn't the Immortal Emperor's Eye ability, but the Calamity Gaze.
He was going to search Nihai True Immortal's soul!
Nihai True Immortal's eyes instantly lost their luster.
The hall fell silent.
Gu An roughly probed Nihai True Immortal's memories, disregarding the state of his soul. During this process, calamity gradually enveloped Nihai True Immortal's body.
Not a single mistake in the first 691691 words!
Nihai True Immortal originated from the Abyssal Dao Sea, and he had a deep connection with the Immortal Emperor. Ten thousand years ago, Nihai True Immortal visited the Battle Court as a guest and happened to overhear Zhu Tianjun complaining to the Immortal Emperor about the remnants of the Long Clan reappearing and causing the death of a being named the Extinction God Emperor.
Upon learning that the Long Clan members were in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, and that the shattered world was beginning to reshape, he thought of the Immortal Palace's ultimate treasure.
The Heavenly Spirit, who had stolen the ultimate treasure of the Immortal Palace, was ordered by the Heavenly Court to be executed. However, the Heavenly Spirit did not destroy the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, so there were rumors that the ultimate treasure might still be hidden within it, and the Heavenly Spirit was waiting for this treasure.
As for informing the Heavenly Court, that was out of the question. The Heavenly Court disdained contact with the Vast Universe, and even a powerful being like Nihai True Immortal had only ever met the Heavenly Deities guarding the Vast Universe. Each Heavenly Deity was haughty and disdained dealing with mortals.
Without attaining a Heavenly Dao Immortal position, even with cultivation surpassing the Heavenly Deities, they would not be given a second glance. Ordinary people also dared not provoke the Heavenly Deities.
The Heavenly Deities had the support of the supreme Heavenly Court, an existence that could not be challenged.
The so-called Immortal Palace was also a palace under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Nihai True Immortal had no idea how the news of the Immortal Palace's ultimate treasure had leaked, but he knew of its clues.
Although the Heavenly Spirit had perished, the location of the ultimate treasure was still unknown. Gu An speculated that the Heavenly Spirit had left the treasure to An Hao.
An Hao had perished, but he was born from the nurturing of the Heavenly Earth Essence and would one day be resurrected. However, by then, he might no longer be An Hao but someone else.
Gu An was very interested in the Abyssal Dao Sea. When he had chosen to break through his lifespan, this place had appeared.
In Nihai True Immortal's memories, the Abyssal Dao Sea did not belong to the Vast Universe but was located in a mysterious region beyond it. It was an ocean formed by the Great Dao Rules, boundless and endless. It was said that since its birth, the Abyssal Dao Sea had been infinitely expanding and had not stopped to this day.
Even Nihai True Immortal, who was born in the Abyssal Dao Sea, did not know its full extent.
As Gu An searched Nihai True Immortal's memories, footsteps echoed through the hall.
The vast hall stretched out, and at its end was a blinding light. Zhu Tianjun emerged from the radiance, his figure constantly flashing as he swiftly approached Gu An.
Suddenly, he stopped. He furrowed his brows, looking at Gu An's back. Gu An's attire was different from that of Long Zhan Fa, so he didn't recognize him immediately.
He didn't even associate Gu An with Long Zhan Fa, as this place was incredibly far from the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
He had just resurrected and rushed to find the Immortal Emperor. How could the one who killed him be faster?
"Who are you?"
Zhu Tianjun asked with a frown. Although the Immortal Emperor had been in seclusion for many years, he often received fellow cultivators, and he also had many disciples outside.
His divine consciousness couldn't get close to Gu An, so he couldn't see the scene in front of Gu An.
Gu An slowly turned around, and only then did Zhu Tianjun see that he was holding someone.
Zhu Tianjun's pupils constricted, and he instinctively reached for the Battle God's Golden Mace.
He remembered Nihai True Immortal, an ancient existence, and the Immortal Emperor's obvious respect for him had left a deep impression.
"You..."
Zhu Tianjun wanted to ask more, but Gu An interrupted him with a single word:
"Die!"
Zhu Tianjun's eyes widened, and he instantly turned into a mist of blood.
Eternal Life Mantra!
This was Gu An's Dao Fruit ability, using the power of cause and effect to seal Zhu Tianjun's fate, with a profound sense of words becoming reality.
Nihai True Immortal in Gu An's hand also turned into ashes, and his gaze shifted outside the hall.
Palace after palace came into view, and countless strange phenomena and exotic beasts were captured by his eyes.
The colossal beings that dominated countless cosmic domains would soon become illusions in Gu An's eyes.
"Everything belonging to Long Zhan should come to an end."
