Chapter 639: The Battle for the Celestial Army
Chapter 639: The Battle for the Celestial Army
Within the vast expanse of the heavens, an infinite number of silver-armored celestial soldiers were besieging a terrifying figure, larger than any mountain in the world. This figure resembled a turtle, enveloped in a terrifying demonic aura, with over a dozen ferocious dragons wreaking havoc within it. Upon closer inspection, those dragons were the tails of this mysterious demonic turtle.
The demonic turtle was colossal, and the figures surrounding it seemed as minuscule as dust in comparison. With a mere movement, it could unleash a catastrophe that would shake the heavens and the earth.
In the distance, Zhang Buku stood side by side with Xu You, both clad in silver armor. Xu You wore his armor awkwardly, lacking the majestic aura that emanated from Zhang Buku.
Zhang Buku gazed at the distant battle, his eyes filled with astonishment.
The silver-armored celestial soldiers at the forefront of the battle were of higher cultivation than Zhang Buku and Xu You, numbering over ten million, hailing from various vast universes. Despite the gathering of so many powerful beings, they couldn't budge the demonic turtle.
"This is a Chaotic Evil Demon," Xu You said with a sigh. "It's not the strongest, but it's said that within the chaos, such demons are countless. If we can subdue it, our celestial army will have a chance to be established."
Zhang Buku turned to him, puzzled, and asked, "With so many reserve celestial soldiers, can we truly become Celestial Deities?"
Xu You gave him a sidelong glance and replied irritably, "Becoming a Celestial Deity is not that easy. We can only have a chance if we stand firm. If we're lucky enough to encounter a peerless genius, we can ride the momentum and surpass you in the Celestial Trial."
After hearing this, Zhang Buku turned his gaze back to the distant Chaotic Evil Demon.
He took a deep breath, leaped into the air, and joined the battle. Xu You followed closely behind without hesitation.
As far as the eye could see, countless figures from all directions were rushing towards the Chaotic Evil Demon, while casualties occurred constantly. The vast land was littered with blood and severed limbs.
All participants in this battle were top geniuses or peerless powerhouses from various realms, yet they appeared as insignificant as insects before the Chaotic Evil Demon. Their spells and abilities couldn't even disperse the demonic aura surrounding it.
Meanwhile, above the layers of cloud seas, a majestic figure overlooked the entire scene. He, too, wore the silver armor of the Celestial Court, but his armor exuded a more oppressive aura. Behind him stood two Immortal Gods in long robes, also observing the battle below with indifference.
As Immortal Gods, they had witnessed such battles countless times and held no sympathy for the fallen. Anyone who came here did so with determination, even if it meant death without regret.
The Deity Tian Zhen slowly spoke, "This batch of celestial soldiers lacks exceptional talent. Even if they survive this trial, there will be few outstanding individuals."
The two Immortal Gods behind him nodded silently, each holding a jade tablet in one hand while the other hand moved swiftly, as if writing something.
...
The news of Taiyi Immortal Lord being suppressed by Gu An had not spread, at least not within the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. Aside from Gu An and An Xing, no one knew that Taiyi Immortal Lord had ever visited.
After Taiyi Immortal Lord's soul was sent into reincarnation, the Heavenly Spirit Grand World did not experience any significant changes.
It wasn't until the Celestial Spirit Deity stepped out of the realm gate that he sensed something and looked at the Heavenly Spirit Grand World with astonishment in his eyes.
He could feel a trace of Taiyi Immortal Lord's aura.
Taiyi Immortal Lord had visited, but the Heavenly Spirit Grand World remained unaffected, what did this imply? He held even more reverence for Gu An, suspecting that Gu An possessed the ability to counter Taiyi Immortal Lord. However, he never expected the battle to end silently.
What did this mean? There might be a significant gap between Taiyi Immortal Lord and Gu An!
The Celestial Spirit Deity took a deep breath, a smile on his face, feeling that everything was heading in a positive direction.
He returned to his previous meditation spot and continued his cultivation.
After sending Tianhao to the Piaomiao Xianting, he also had many thoughts. After years of not seeing each other, the Piaomiao Xianting still remained unfathomable, and his dear friend had surpassed him, filling him with fighting spirit.
It is common knowledge that his innate talent had once been acknowledged by the Heavenly Court, and before he became the Celestial Spirit Deity, his life was filled with applause and praise.
As the Celestial Spirit Deity closed his eyes, the wheel of time in the mortal realm began to accelerate.
One year passed like a day.
In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years went by. The mortal realm underwent drastic changes, with countless lives coming and going, yet the faces of those who ruled over the world remained largely unchanged.
During the end of spring that year, Gu An stood atop a mountain, facing the wind.
Half an hour ago, he had utilized the Lifespan Projection Function to enhance his understanding of the Path of Strength.
For him now, consuming a billion years of lifespan wasn't too painful. After the expenditure, he still had over fourteen billion years of lifespan remaining.
As the projection ended, a prompt appeared before his eyes, causing him to close them and begin to experience the insights of the Path of Strength.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly stagnated, and the Dao Principle began to stir, making the creatures on this land feel oppressed.
This time, Gu An did not inherit the Dao Enlightenment within the Dao Field. Instead, he deliberately chose a continent with a relatively backward cultivation culture to pass on his enlightenment.
As Gu An comprehended the Dao, the power of the Great Dao surged towards this continent. Countless cultivators felt uneasy due to the changes in the spiritual energy, but soon, they experienced an indescribable sensation that made them subconsciously review the cultivation techniques they had mastered.
Before long, this continent fell into silence, and Gu An's influence continued to expand, reaching the ocean and other continents.
Time passed.
Gu An opened his eyes and disappeared from his original location.
The latest chapter is now available!
After his departure, silhouettes swiftly passed through the sky. These individuals possessed the bearing of immortals, resembling enlightened beings. They observed the mountains and rivers along their path, seemingly searching for something.
Gu An arrived at a mortal city with a single step. It was a city of mortals, with only a few cultivators, who had concealed their cultivation, unknown to anyone.
He entered a bookshop and began browsing through its collection.
His thoughts drifted to Zhang Buku in the Taze Great World.
Zhang Buku had suddenly disappeared for thousands of years, and even Gu An couldn't predict his causality. Gu An speculated that it might be related to the Heavenly Court.
Fortunately, Zhang Buku later returned to the Taze Great World unharmed, so Gu An didn't think much of it.
Whenever Zhang Buku and Xu You chatted about the Heavenly Court, Gu An couldn't hear them, and he couldn't deduce anything either. Perhaps this was the reason why the Heavenly Court was so mysterious; even those who had reached the Da Luo Dao Guo Realm couldn't fathom its causality.
Although Zhang Buku had returned, his will had noticeably become depressed. Gu An was hesitant about whether he should give him some guidance.
Gu An could guess that Zhang Buku might have suffered a setback in the Heavenly Court, most likely due to a competition for the Heavenly Dao Divine Position with other peerless Tian Jiao figures, or perhaps he had lost hope and was greatly discouraged.
As for Xu You, he seemed unaffected and returned to the Taze Great World, indulging in the mortal realm without cultivating.
Gu An's thoughts were soon captured by the book in his hand.
When it came to writing, the books written by mortals were more flavorful and enjoyable. The books written by cultivators were too utilitarian and lacked the exploration of human emotions.
"Honorable guest, if you like this book, 'The Fragrant Thief in the Smoke Tower,' why not buy it? If you purchase the complete set, I'll even give you the original artwork of the character illustrations by the author himself!" The shop owner approached eagerly and said.
Gu An closed the book in his hand and returned it to the bookshelf before turning to leave.
The shop owner's expression changed, revealing a hint of disappointment.
This person looked like a human, but he only browsed without spending a penny. How miserly!
"Shop owner, bring out all the paintings you mentioned, and I'll buy them."
Gu An's words came floating in, dispelling the gloom from the shop owner's face, who now smiled broadly.
"Alright! Honorable guest, please wait a moment!"
