Chapter 598: Meeting the Divine
Chapter 598: Meeting the Divine
In front of the hundred-foot-tall stone stele, hundreds of cultivators and demons gazed at Bai Sheng in astonishment.
Bai Sheng's body erupted with dazzling white light, his aura blazing like flames, causing his robe to flutter violently. The radiance obscured his features, making him appear incredibly divine and imposing.
Shen Zhen's hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes widened as she stared at Bai Sheng in surprise.
Although she had known beforehand that Bai Sheng would transform into a Celestial Spirit Deity, witnessing this scene still left her amazed.
She could sense Bai Sheng's soul undergoing a metamorphosis, and a power that made her Dao heart tremble was emerging, unstoppable.
Such a formidable aura was indeed worthy of a Heavenly Deity!
Shen Zhen glanced at Gu An, secretly curious about his strength. How powerful was Gu An that he could send such a formidable figure into reincarnation?
Wu Dao Xian was also surprised, as he could tell that the Celestial Spirit Deity had not entered reincarnation willingly.
Thinking back to twenty thousand years ago when this vast universe underwent a reshaping and the Celestial Spirit Deity went missing, could the Dark Demon Emperor have been involved?
He looked at Gu An, his mind filled with confusion.
How did this young man accomplish this?
As Bai Sheng slowly rose into the air, recovering his cultivation, more and more creatures turned their attention to him. On the rooftops in all directions, figures appeared, all of them demon soldiers of the Great Liang Demon Emperor, each with considerable cultivation. However, upon seeing Bai Sheng, their faces showed fear.
As Bai Sheng's aura grew stronger, powerful figures continued to appear in the sky.
On the steps above, Su Jin couldn't help but lift her veil, revealing her exquisite makeup and beauty akin to a celestial fairy. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
For some reason, this aura made her feel a sense of familiarity.
She tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember when or where she had felt such an aura.
"Don't worry, my queen. I'll be back shortly," the Great Liang Demon Emperor said softly, although his heart was not as calm as his face suggested. The mysterious aura was intensifying too quickly, making it hard for him to stay put.
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from his original spot.
Su Jin continued to stare into the distance at the soaring flames. Her pupils suddenly dilated as if she had realized something.
Boom!
A gust of wind howled towards her, causing Su Jin's dress to flutter violently. Time seemed to freeze, and she instinctively glanced sideways, seeing a figure emitting a brilliant light standing beside her.
This figure held a demon in his hand.
The Great Liang Demon Emperor!
The Great Liang Demon Emperor's throat was locked by the figure's right hand, suspended in the air, unable to break free. His face contorted with pain and anger.
Su Jin's heart was filled with shock and fear, leaving no time for thought.
The Great Liang Demon Emperor had just flown out when he was captured and brought back. Even after living for over twenty thousand years, she was stunned at that moment.
"How dare you!"
A loud shout shook the heavens, and a powerful cultivator in the Freedom Immortal Realm appeared beside the Great Liang Demon Emperor, attempting to rescue him.
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the cultivator was sent flying backward, crashing through the palace and several buildings before disappearing into the distance.
The light on Su Jin's face faded, and she gradually recognized the true identity of the person beside her. Her eyes widened in surprise.
This person was none other than Bai Sheng!
Bai Sheng appeared no different from before, except for his disheveled hair that blew in the wind.
His expression was cold as he looked at the Great Liang Demon Emperor, as if gazing at a dead man.
"How...how is this possible..."
The Great Liang Demon Emperor trembled, his voice filled with shock.
Of course, he recognized Bai Sheng. Previously, when Su Jin had pleaded for Bai Sheng, Bai Sheng had seemed no different from an insect in his eyes.
How much time had passed since then?
Bai Sheng rendered him unable to resist, and he even felt that if Bai Sheng exerted force, he would be crushed.
He had never felt such terror, and his heart was filled with fear.
"Bai..."
Su Jin muttered, gazing at the cold Bai Sheng.
At this moment, Bai Sheng was no longer himself but the Celestial Spirit Deity.
The Celestial Spirit Deity glanced at her, his eyebrows furrowed, and the coldness in his eyes made Su Jin's heart ache.
More and more powerful figures appeared in the surroundings, and they were not there because of their good relationship with the Great Liang Demon Emperor; they were after the Supreme Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
"Who might you be?"
"The Supreme Treasure of Heaven and Earth hasn't even appeared yet, and you're already eager to take action?"
"What's the background of this person? I've never seen him before."
"His aura has already surpassed the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao, and it's still rising."
"I have a feeling he's not here for the Supreme Treasure. He seems to have just awakened from the Reincarnation Tribulation."
As each powerful figure took out their respective treasures, the entire Demon City trembled incessantly, with stones even flying in the air. Dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, casting a shadow over the city.
The Celestial Spirit Deity ignored the surrounding discussions and slightly tilted his head, glancing at the distance with his peripheral vision.
He had already spotted Gu An and the Freedom Immortal's silhouettes.
He knew he couldn't escape; it was still within his control.
(This part contains gibberish and is untranslatable)
He didn't have the urge to seek revenge on Gu An; instead, he was savoring the experiences of this lifetime.
In fact, he was still Bai Sheng, as if he had personally lived through this life, but his mindset had returned to the state of the Celestial Spirit Deity. This feeling was subtle yet harmonious.
Su Jin mustered her courage and asked again, "Who are you really...?"
"I've already awakened my Origin Will. You were facing me in my reincarnation. He sacrificed himself, hoping that I would step in to save you."
The Celestial Spirit Deity interrupted her, speaking in a cold and emotionless tone without any fluctuation.
Hearing this, Su Jin's beautiful eyes widened, and her mind fell into chaos.
Upon hearing this, the Great Liang Demon Emperor's heart trembled even more, for he was well aware of the existence of reincarnation, and it plunged his heart into despair.
Given the enmity between him and Bai Sheng, he knew that Bai Sheng would not let him off easily.
The Great Liang Demon Emperor closed his eyes, preparing to face death.
At that moment, he suddenly felt the hand around his neck loosen, and he instinctively opened his eyes, only to meet the indifferent gaze of the Celestial Spirit Deity, which terrified him, causing his entire body to tremble.
He dared not turn around and flee, as he had already sensed the disparity in cultivation between himself and his opponent.
"For eternity, you shall never encounter her again. Otherwise, you will never be able to transcend this life, and no one in this world can help you."
The Celestial Spirit Deity's voice echoed in the Great Liang Demon Emperor's ears, causing his face to turn pale.
When the Celestial Spirit Deity turned to look at Su Jin, the Great Liang Demon Emperor was so frightened that he immediately fled.
As he ran, the powerful onlookers in the sky also began to waver, and they all chased after him.
They hadn't forgotten the purpose of their journey; the Supreme Treasure of Heaven and Earth was what they sought.
As countless powerful cultivators and demons retreated, a strong wind blew through the heavens, rustling the clothes of Su Jin and the Celestial Spirit Deity.
The Celestial Spirit Deity slowly raised his chin, looking down at Su Jin with disdain. "Don't look at me with those eyes. You were just a tribulation I encountered in my reincarnation. You shouldn't have pursued me. Perhaps you're unaware that you were merely a pawn manipulated by others, and even our connection was false."
Su Jin's eyes turned red, and she clenched her teeth, asking, "Were even the feelings we had for each other false?"
The Celestial Spirit Deity frowned. "In the face of the Great Dao, all feelings are illusions. Get out of here!"
He turned away and looked in the direction where Gu An was.
As Su Jin wanted to say more, the Celestial Spirit Deity struck her with a palm, hitting her abdomen and sending her flying towards the horizon, quickly disappearing from sight.
The entire Demon City had fallen into chaos, with countless demons taking flight to investigate what had happened. Many others fled in panic.
The figures surrounding Gu An, Shen Zhen, and the Freedom Immortal also quickly dispersed.
"Let's go. It's time to meet the God."
Gu An chuckled softly and stepped towards the sky, with Shen Zhen and the Freedom Immortal following closely behind.
The Freedom Immortal found himself unable to move and could only accompany Gu An as they flew towards the Celestial Spirit Deity.
From a distance, when his gaze landed on the Celestial Spirit Deity, his face contorted, and he couldn't help but twitch.
