Chapter 699: Solar Deity
Chapter 699: Solar Deity
The overwhelming light of the Heavenly Dao grew ever stronger, like the arrival of a blazing sun. The mysterious figure descending from the top of the Heavenly Ascension Steps moved neither hastily nor slowly, but his footsteps grew louder, deafening, as if the heavens and earth were trembling.
Li Ya and Li Xian You looked up, their expressions numb, at the figure on the Heavenly Ascension Steps.
The true form of Yellow Wind Immortal Lord had already brought them immense despair, but compared to this figure, Yellow Wind Immortal Lord seemed insignificant.
A vast and boundless aura enveloped the entire world, causing the cloud sea to come to a standstill.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The rumbling grew more intense, and the footsteps of the mysterious figure seemed to be pounding on the hearts of Li Ya and Li Xian You, making their souls tremble.
Li Ya, suppressing his heartache, turned his gaze to Gu An's back.
Gu An stood at the forefront, facing the Heavenly Ascension Steps. His indistinct figure exuded an unshakable and steady presence.
Li Ya's mood eased slightly, and he chose to trust Gu An.
If Gu An dared to come, he must have been confident!
As time passed, the figure on the Heavenly Ascension Steps grew even larger, making the heavenly dome seem narrow in comparison.
At that moment, another figure appeared on the first step of the Heavenly Ascension Steps—it was Yellow Wind Immortal Lord.
His form was like that of an ordinary person, not grand or imposing. Standing on the first step of the Heavenly Ascension Steps, he seemed unremarkable, but his aura made it hard for Li Ya to ignore him.
As for Li Xian You, his cultivation was too low to see Yellow Wind Immortal Lord's figure; he could only gaze expectantly at the mysterious giant immortal descending.
"Fu Dao Jian Zun, the being behind me is the Solar Deity, a supreme immortal of the Heavenly Court, wielding Heavenly Law and representing the will of heaven. Do you truly wish to defy the will of heaven?"
Yellow Wind Immortal Lord's voice echoed, stern and serious.
Gu An looked up at the figure of the Solar Deity. With the presence of Heavenly Court Qi Yun, he could not use Lifespan Detection on him, but he could sense the other's cultivation.
Late-stage Marvelous True Great Law Realm!
The Heavenly Court Qi Yun surrounding him was extremely thick, far surpassing that of Yellow Wind Immortal Lord.
Even an early-stage Daoist Great Law Realm cultivator would find it difficult to eliminate him in a short time, though he was certainly no match for a Grand Luo Immortal of the Dao's peak.
Gu An was not overly wary, nor did he fear offending the Heavenly Court.
Yellow Wind Immortal Lord's actions were overly cautious, clearly afraid of the matter being exposed. The Heavenly Court was immensely powerful; if Gu An truly offended it, it could easily suppress him without resorting to constant probing.
Gu An speculated that this had something to do with Tianhao.
Tianhao was the Reincarnated Son of Heaven, and Yellow Wind Immortal Lord, Taiyi Immortal Lord, and other immortals were all after him. From their perspective, Gu An might be a protector of the Celestial Emperor, and there could be other powerful immortals backing him.
This was why Yellow Wind Immortal Lord kept asking if Gu An was willing to join the Heavenly Court.
If he truly wanted to recruit Gu An, why would he approach Li Ya?
So far, Yellow Wind Immortal Lord had not revealed how Gu An and Li Ya could become immortals, only emphasizing the power of the Heavenly Court.
The Solar Deity did not stop walking, but as he drew closer to the cloud sea, his figure became clearer. He seemed to be wearing heavy divine armor, with a divine bird perched on his shoulder.
The Solar Phoenix!
This Solar Phoenix was also enveloped in the light of the Heavenly Dao, not revealing its true form.
"Who are you to represent the will of heaven?"
Gu An's voice cut through the oppressive presence of the Solar Deity and the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord, bringing a sense of relief to Li Ya and his disciple, who had been on edge.
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them. He remained silent, waiting for the Solar Deity to make the first move.
"Who are you to Eternal Deity, and do you understand the consequences of your actions?"
A solemn voice echoed, devoid of any emotion.
Eternal Deity?
Could it be the entity behind Tianhao?
Gu An spoke, "The person you seek is no longer in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. Your constant disturbances have truly become a nuisance to me."
"Hmph, by aiding him, you have made yourself our enemy. Since you refuse to speak, prepare to die and feel the true wrath of the heavens!"
The Solar Deity's voice boomed, authoritative and domineering, a stark contrast to the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord's attitude.
He halted, standing on the Heavenly Ascension Steps and looking down at Gu An. Raising his right arm, the Solar Phoenix on his shoulder spread its wings and dove down.
Once free from the blinding light of the Heavenly Dao, the Solar Phoenix revealed its true form, enveloped in solar flames. Its body resembled a crow, with wings spanning millions of miles, like a fiery dome descending from the heavens, unstoppable.
Li Ya and Li Xian You's faces paled at the sight.
Gu An suddenly raised his hand, and the Azure Crane Sword materialized in his grasp. Holding the sword, he swung it upward.
The sword cut through the air, its aura like a full moon, with the true essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos condensed within. Behind the sword, countless stars appeared, forming a celestial river that ascended into the sky.
Almost instantly, the sword's aura collided with the Solar Phoenix.
Boom—
Blinding light erupted, and the heavens and earth seemed to lose their color. The gale forced the cloud sea to compress, making Li Ya use his full power to protect himself and Li Xian You.
Even with Gu An deliberately shielding them with his Dao Intent, they still felt the overwhelming pressure of the Dao's gale.
The Solar Phoenix, a divine being, revealed a pair of cold, terrifying eyes on its featureless face. With a gesture, a torrent of flames surged from behind him, swirling like a dragon.
"Insolence!"
The Solar Deity's voice carried the utmost fury. With his roar, the cloud sea beneath Gu An and the others shattered.
Terror-inducing solar flames rained down, dispelling the blinding light between heaven and earth. Li Ya looked up to see an unbelievable sight: countless massive fire dragons coiled around the heavenly dome, with the Solar Deity at their center. His golden armor glowed like the sun, burning with intense flames. His face was stern, his eyes emitting streams of energy without pupils, and his red hair was bound under a divine crown, like a supreme god descending with heavenly majesty.
Gu An could sense a special power within those fire dragons, derived from the Heavenly Dao's evolution.
Could this be the Heavenly Law the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord mentioned?
"Grand Luo Immortal at the peak of the Miao Zhen realm, no wonder you dare to oppose us. Eternal Deity truly has remarkable skills!"
The Solar Deity's words made the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord's face change. He had suspected Gu An might be a Grand Luo Immortal, but he never thought he had reached the peak.
Unbeknownst to them, this was just Gu An's disguise.
However, for Gu An, suppressing his cultivation to the peak of the Miao Zhen Grand Luo Immortal realm was more than enough to defeat the Solar Deity.
Today, he would make the Solar Deity lose all courage and never dare to trouble him again!
The wind blew through Gu An's black Daoist robe as he stood with his sword in one hand, facing the storm. His silhouette left an indelible impression on Li Ya and Li Xian You.
In front of Gu An, a massive silver sword shadow appeared in the air, larger than a single step of the Heavenly Ascension Steps. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the Solar Deity and the fire dragons in the sky.
A sword intent that shook the heavens and disturbed the Dao locked onto the Solar Deity.
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord, standing on the Heavenly Ascension Steps, widened his eyes in shock. He shouted, "Such sword intent, how is this possible? What is your relationship with the one from the Sword Path River?"
