Chapter 754: The Mad Immortal
Chapter 754: The Mad Immortal
"Heavenly Court Immortal Deity, truly foolish and arrogant."
The black-robed man muttered, raising his right hand and reaching forward as if to grasp the air with a Dragon Claw. As he waved his hand, a surging tide of Hei Qi (dark energy) erupted, sweeping forward irresistibly. Within the rolling black mist, countless black-armored figures emerged, their stances resembling those of Heavenly Soldiers, though they were entirely black.
The moment this Dark Heavenly Army charged into battle, the terrifying aura they exuded sent shockwaves through the entire battlefield, drawing the attention of countless beings.
In this vast void battlefield, besides the Heavenly Soldiers and Demons, there were also numerous enlightened beings from the two great worlds, representing various races and creating a chaotic scene. The battlefield was so extensive that it was impossible to gauge its size with the naked eye. Even so, the Dark Heavenly Army still made all the beings present feel a chill of fear.
"All Heavenly Soldiers, follow me into battle!"
The Heavenly Guardian's loud command echoed, and as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers roared in unison. The Tian Dao Qiyun (Heavenly Dao Aura) within their bodies erupted, like the true fire of the sun enveloping them, significantly boosting their momentum.
At the edge of the void, the six sworn brothers, including Fang Xuan and Xueyu Great Saint, were also engaged in fierce combat. From a distance, they could see the scene and were all filled with shock.
"Brother, this battlefield is not for the likes of us to meddle in!"
"These people, and those Heavenly Soldiers, are completely mad!"
"The Heavenly Soldiers are immortal and fearless, while the others are fighting for the chance to become immortals, risking everything!"
"If Second Brother were here, he would be fighting just as hard."
Fang Xuan listened to his brothers' words but remained silent, as the six of them maintained a distance from each other, appearing to fight independently, yet they had a silent understanding and cooperated seamlessly.
Fang Xuan's heart was pounding, unsure whether to retreat.
He remembered the Heavenly Army that had once captured them. If it weren't for Fu Dao Jian Zun's intervention, the consequences would have been dire.
Although these Heavenly Soldiers were no match for Fu Dao Jian Zun, their individual strength was formidable.
Yet, even such a powerful Heavenly Army seemed like challengers in this void battlefield. Fang Xuan looked at the terrifying figure of the Moroc Kylin, feeling both apprehension and curiosity.
"Stay at the edge and don't get too close!"
Fang Xuan said, and the other five naturally had no objections.
Unlike the two sides in the conflict, they had not yet decided which Celestial Emperor's camp to join. They had come to observe the situation, but upon arrival, they were immediately caught up in the chaos. The beings from both worlds, not recognizing them or sensing a similar Qi Yun (aura), treated them as enemies.
Since they were here for the chance to become immortals, they dared not fight to the death, which limited their actions.
This battlefield was just a microcosm of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. There were over a hundred other void battlefields where the Moroc Kylin and Heavenly Soldiers were engaged in combat.
Gu An saw all of this unfold.
Just in the Celestial Emperor Conflict, the number of Heavenly Soldiers dispatched exceeded ten million, a testament to the Heavenly Court's profound strength.
In Gu Xuan You's memory, Gu An had witnessed the true might of a powerful Heavenly Army, far surpassing these Heavenly Soldiers. Those who could enter the Heavenly Court were at least at the Great Clear Golden Immortal Realm. Within the Heavenly Court, there was a Heavenly Army where the weakest Heavenly Soldier was at the Tai Qing Jin Xian (Great Clear Golden Immortal) level. During the hunt for the Ferocious Demon, a million-strong army was dispatched.
A million Tai Qing Jin Xian, how terrifying. And they were immortal, able to resurrect using the Heavenly Court's Qi Yun (aura)!
When Gu Xuan You was besieged by the Heavenly Court Immortal Deity, he often felt powerless.
Even though the enemies seemed like mere insects to him, he couldn't kill them. Over time, these insects became a significant nuisance. Moreover, the Heavenly Court did not just send Heavenly Soldiers to hunt him.
Each war in the Celestial Emperor Conflict lasted for many years, continuing until one side lost all will to fight.
Defeat often led to a mass exodus. Many defeated beings, unable to face their masters, fled the Celestial Emperor Conflict, escaping into unscathed great worlds.
After ten thousand years, several uninvited guests arrived in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
They did not come through a Realm Gate, which angered the Celestial Spirit Deity, who promptly killed them.
This was just the beginning. To maintain his celestial authority, the Celestial Spirit Deity became the guardian deity of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. However, as the invading beings grew stronger, the Celestial Spirit Deity of the Heaven-Spanning Golden Immortal Realm began to feel the pressure.
Fortunately, the Taiyi Immortal Lord came to his aid, dispatching the Seventy-Two Jin Dong Immortals to help capture the invaders in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
Gu An was very pleased with the Taiyi Immortal Lord's attitude. Without even being instructed, the Taiyi Immortal Lord took action.
Despite past grievances, once they became allies, Gu An found himself increasingly satisfied with the Taiyi Immortal Lord, even more so than with the Celestial Spirit Deity.
Over the course of millions of years, the Taiyi Immortal Lord and the Seventy-Two Jin Dong Immortals accomplished much for the Mortal World, leaving behind numerous legends and legacies. The development of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World owed much to their efforts.
The Taiyi Immortal Lord couldn't guess what Gu An wanted, but he was certain that contributing to the prosperity of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World would please Gu An. When Gu An didn't stop him, he felt he had found the right path.
As more invaders from the Heavenly Realms arrived, they caused more and more turmoil in the Mortal World. Some of them took disciples, and when their masters died, their disciples naturally sought revenge. This cycle of hatred grew, eventually reaching the Celestial Spirit Deity, the Taiyi Immortal Lord, and other immortals. The immortals didn't care, but they underestimated the human heart.
Another half a million years passed.
The Heavenly Spirit Grand World erupted into conflict. The Nine Teachings began to fight among themselves, and other sects under heaven quickly chose sides, starting their own battles.
Though the Dao Court had dissolved, its legend lived on. Many people wanted to complete the great cause of unifying the world under heaven. With the encouragement or assistance of the Heavenly Realms' invaders, they could no longer contain their ambitions.
For the invaders, the more chaos there was under heaven, the better they could hide.
Above the cloud sea, a magnificent red tower floated, its grandeur awe-inspiring. Below, the cloud sea churned, and in the distance, mountain-like ridges and magnificent scales could be seen, evoking endless imagination.
Li Xuemiao and Heaven Destroyer stood side by side on the tower's balcony, gazing into the distance.
Heaven Destroyer still wore his divine armor, radiating a sharp aura, while Li Xuemiao exuded the transcendent air of an enlightened immortal.
"Is it really all right for the Celestial Emperor Conflict to affect the Three Thousand Great Worlds?"
Li Xuemiao asked, his eyes seeing the chaos in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. The Celestial Emperor Conflict was far more terrifying than he had anticipated.
What troubled him most was that the Heavenly Court was not concerned about the Three Thousand Great Worlds. The immortals cared more about their own cultivation and whether powerful realms beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds posed a threat.
"I have heard before that the Heavenly Dao Sovereign possesses the Tong Sheng, capable of creating the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Even if they are destroyed, a Supreme Being will reshape them. To the Heavenly Court, the Three Thousand Great Worlds are dispensable", Heaven Destroyer said expressionlessly.
Li Xuemiao turned to look at him and asked, "If so, why create the Three Thousand Great Worlds in the first place?"
Heaven Destroyer replied, "Because the Three Thousand Great Worlds were opened by the Great Dao. If they are missing, the power of the Great Dao will fill the void, affecting the Tian Dao Qiyun. Moreover, the Heavenly Court needs the countless beings to venerate and strengthen the Qi Yun."
