Chapter 691: Palm Descends
Chapter 691: Palm Descends
As hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers stared at the lid of the Soul-Refining Cauldron, inside the cauldron, the Infinite Fire Sea had dissipated, and several figures soared into the air, hovering and looking around to assess the situation.
Who extinguished the Cauldron Fire?
Some of these trapped individuals had already experienced the inferno and knew the fire's terrifying power.
That gust of wind just now was definitely not a coincidence; a mysterious powerhouse had put out the fire!
An Zizai looked at Gu An, his eyes filled with anticipation.
What kind of great battle will unfold next?
Under An Zizai's gaze, Gu An turned and faced a certain direction, his right hand slowly lifting.
He's here!
An Zizai's heart raced, his eyes full of anticipation.
As Gu An raised his palm, a terrifying aura erupted. This time, he deliberately weakened the barriers of karma and qi, allowing all the beings inside the cauldron to see him, but not clearly.
Xueyu Great Saint and Fang Xuan also turned to look, their gazes locking onto Gu An.
They could only see a blurry figure and could not discern Gu An's true appearance.
Xueyu Great Saint's expression brightened, his breathing becoming rapid.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he immediately guessed it was Gu An!
When Gu An opposed the War Court years ago, his figure was also indistinct, but his presence was unmistakable.
He was just captured, and now his master has come!
"Who is that person, to be completely..."
Fang Xuan frowned, muttering to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes widened. He glanced at Xueyu Great Saint beside him, noticing the Great Saint's excited expression and trembling body, and his own heart began to tremble.
That existence has come!
On the other side of the cauldron's Heavens and Earth, dozens of beings hovered in the air. Leading them was a man clad in dark red battle armor, his figure imposing, long hair tied under a majestic Divine Beast crown, his face stern, exuding a formidable oppressive aura.
He was the Mystery Emperor, whose cultivation had reached the Luotian Freedom Realm, the most promising candidate to achieve Dadao Emperor status on the Great Dao Path today!
The Mystery Emperor could not clearly see Gu An's true form, but the person gave him a feeling akin to the elders of his clan—profound and inscrutable.
He had a hunch that this person might lead them out.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of Tian Jiao and great cultivators, Gu An's right palm gently pushed forward, the movement casual, as if plucking a flower or pinching a blade of grass.
But as Gu An's arm extended, a terrifying force suddenly erupted, shattering the Dark Sky ahead. A fierce wind, mingled with scorched smoke, howled outward, like dragons rushing out, creating a formidable spectacle.
The thousands of trapped beings, caught in the gale, were all shocked by Gu An's palm.
They could feel the irresistible, terrifying power. After being trapped in this realm, they had all tried to break out, but all had failed. Even their most powerful Tong Sheng had not caused any damage.
Cloaks fluttered, and long hair danced in the wind. All the trapped beings gazed at the breach at the end of the Heavens and Earth, where a blinding white light shone, like an entrance to a new world.
...
On the Great Dao Qi Basin, hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers watched as a massive hole was blasted into the Soul-Refining Cauldron, scorching heat waves surging out, unstoppable. Most of the Heavenly Soldiers wore expressions of disbelief.
A Celestial Artifact was actually breached by someone?
From the inside, no less!
Heavenly Guardian's face darkened. He leaped forward, standing in front of the cauldron's breach, using his physical body to block the wind and heat. He raised his massive blade, and hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers began to form ranks.
Zhang Buku and Xu You, while channeling their magical power, looked at the Soul-Refining Cauldron, their gazes focused on the breach. They were all curious about the powerful being who had breached the cauldron.
They instinctively thought of the Mystery Emperor. When Heavenly Guardian captured the Mystery Emperor, his performance left a deep impression on them.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Heavenly Soldiers, the white light from the breach in the Soul-Refining Cauldron remained blinding. A figure slowly stepped out, appearing like a speck of dust compared to the entire breach, yet bringing a tremendous oppressive feeling to the Heavenly Soldiers.
Gu An slowly emerged from the white light, followed by An Zizai.
The Heavenly Guardian and hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers could not clearly see their true forms, only two blurry figures, which made the Heavenly Guardian even more wary of Gu An.
"Who are you?"
The Heavenly Guardian asked in a deep, solemn voice. He was certain he had never captured these two before, meaning they had infiltrated the Soul-Refining Cauldron without his knowledge. Their cultivation was likely far superior to his!
This was the Great Dao Path, and any entity daring to oppose the Heavenly Court might well decide to eliminate them.
Especially since the other party had concealed their true forms, clearly indicating hostile intentions.
If he died, he could rely on the Heavenly Court's Qi Yun to resurrect him, but his hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers could not be brought back. The Heavenly Soldiers had yet to truly ascend to the ranks of immortals.
He had invested so much time and effort; he did not want to see his Heavenly Soldiers fall here.
Gu An did not answer the Heavenly Guardian. Instead, his gaze swept over the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers, spotting Zhang Buku among them.
He then looked at Xu You, who stood beside Zhang Buku. Previously, he had divined that there was a Great Dao entity behind Xu You. Now, observing Xu You up close, he could see more of the karma tied to him.
The Great Dao entity behind Xu You had intricate connections with the Heavenly Court, yet it was not entirely obscured by the Heavenly Court's Qi Yun.
Could it be that it was trying to break away from the Heavenly Court?
While Gu An was deep in thought, the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers took flight, surrounding the Soul-Refining Cauldron. They quickly formed an array, resembling a massive golden bell hovering in the air. Within the bell's shadow, countless golden dragons and phoenixes spiraled, radiating immense pressure, and the sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries echoed continuously.
From behind Gu An, figures emerged from the white light. All those who had been trapped flew out.
The Great Sage Xueyu flew out and looked at Gu An from a distance, his eyes filled with excitement, but he restrained his urge to acknowledge him.
Since his master had not revealed his true form, he could not ruin things.
He began to look forward to how his master would handle the Heavenly Court's immortals.
The Mystery Emperor, Fang Xuan, and the other trapped individuals saw the formation of the Heavenly Court's great array and dared not make any rash moves. They all fixed their gazes on Gu An, now placing their hopes on this mysterious great being.
The Heavenly Guardian raised his blade and pointed it at Gu An. A majestic Dharma Body rose above him, as if an ancient War God had risen, making even the Soul-Refining Cauldron seem small in comparison.
"Since you refuse to speak, you are the enemy!"
The Heavenly Guardian declared in a deep voice, his mind racing with thoughts. There were too many enemies from the long ages, and he could not immediately identify who they were.
However, he did not waste time on idle talk. As he questioned, he was already channeling the Heavenly Court's Qi Yun to concentrate on himself.
He was already a Balanced Heaven Immortal, and his aura continued to rise rapidly.
Gu An saw through the Heavenly Guardian's little trick but was not concerned.
An Zizai looked at the Heavenly Guardian and the great array formed by the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers, feeling extremely nervous. Despite living for so long, he had never encountered such a formidable display.
"Watch closely; this is the first palm of the Universal Supreme Palm."
Gu An's voice suddenly rang in An Zizai's ears, making his eyes widen.
An Zizai fixed his gaze on Gu An, watching as Gu An raised his right hand again.
This time, Gu An did not push forward but raised his hand and then flipped his palm downward.
Not just An Zizai, but almost everyone was watching Gu An intently. When they saw his movement, they all held their breath.
As Gu An's palm pressed downward, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky, enveloping everyone, causing them to look up in shock.
The hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers all looked up, the scene was spectacular. They widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Xu You, who was usually calm and inscrutable, also changed expression, exclaiming in surprise, "How is this possible!"
