Chapter 793: The Power of the Divine Sparrow
Chapter 793: The Power of the Divine Sparrow
The black coffin hovered behind the Mysterious Demon, its lid slowly opening in the Great Dao Turbulence. Even Li Ya and the others, held in the palm of the demon, felt a chill run down their spines.
They turned their heads and saw the massive black coffin, larger even than the demon itself. From their vantage point, they couldn’t see the top of the coffin.
What could be inside?
Everyone’s hearts were filled with trepidation, making the wait more agonizing than facing death itself.
Li Xuemiao, restrained by the coffin’s suction, also felt a sense of foreboding. His intuition told him that if he were to touch the black coffin, it would not end well.
The coffin lid opened a crack, revealing a darkness deeper than the void itself. A single glance was enough to draw one’s mind into an endless abyss of oppression.
Li Xuemiao forcibly averted his gaze. He glanced at the Mysterious Demon’s right arm and decided to save the others before his own demise.
His eyes turned cold and fierce. A gateway of light materialized behind him, from which a vast surge of Tian Dao Qi Yun emerged, flowing into his body and temporarily granting him the strength to resist the black coffin.
He leaped forward, moving to the side of the Mysterious Demon. Holding the Divine Spear, he gathered his most powerful magic, intending to strike the demon’s right arm.
At that moment, Li Xuemiao’s face changed dramatically. Everything before his eyes suddenly shifted, and he found himself in a place of absolute darkness. The Mysterious Demon was gone, and the River of Destiny was nowhere to be seen.
He realized he couldn’t move.
He could only struggle to lift his head and see a massive presence in the darkness above. Upon closer inspection, it was the black coffin summoned by the Mysterious Demon, still opening.
“How is this possible...”
Li Xuemiao’s eyes widened. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make his body or soul budge.
He couldn’t tell if he was trapped in an illusion or sealed in another space.
As the coffin lid opened further, a scaly black claw emerged, gripping the edge of the coffin. This sight made Li Xuemiao’s heart race with fear.
He began to feel a terror that he couldn’t control, which quickly spread and overwhelmed him.
At that moment, his mind went blank, and he could only stare dumbly at the black claw.
Suddenly, a melodious flute sound drifted from afar, growing clearer with each moment, gradually dispelling Li Xuemiao’s fear.
He turned his head, but saw nothing but pitch-black darkness in all directions. Yet, listening to the flute, he felt a sense of peace.
“Is it you...”
Li Xuemiao’s expression became complex.
Immortals were virtually indestructible, and the Grand Light and Vast Law Divine Exalted would not intervene. The only one who could act was his mortal master, Gu An.
He relaxed, and when he looked at the black coffin and the claw, he felt no fear.
The darkness was vast, making Li Xuemiao seem insignificant, but he was now fearless, even showing a mocking smile.
Even after joining the Heavenly Court and experiencing higher realms, Gu An remained the strongest in his heart.
Even the legendary Heavenly Dao Sovereign or Heavenly Emperor might not be stronger than his master.
He knew that if he voiced such thoughts, he would be laughed at, but he firmly believed it.
Gu An didn’t exude an aura surpassing the Grand Light and Vast Law Divine Exalted, but his demeanor was so calm and serene that it gave him an impression of unfathomable depth. No one else could make him feel this way.
Boom!
The coffin lid was suddenly blasted open, and a terrifying shadow tried to emerge.
A burst of intense light descended, instantly enveloping the black coffin, causing the shadow to retreat back inside. Then, Li Xuemiao saw an indescribable giant claw descend from the light, grabbing the black coffin.
It seemed to be the claw of some divine bird, making the massive black coffin look like a small block of wood.
With Li Xuemiao’s shocked expression, the divine claw disappeared along with the black coffin, appearing and vanishing in an instant.
Before he could react, the surrounding darkness shattered, and he found himself back on the River of Destiny, facing the Mysterious Demon’s arm, where Li Ya and the other cultivators still stood.
Hundreds of cultivators looked up, all of them wide-eyed and trembling.
The Mysterious Demon and the black coffin had vanished.
“Was that claw...” one cultivator asked, his voice trembling.
The Mysterious Demon had been terrifying, and the previous battle had left them in despair. But the sudden appearance of a mysterious bird’s claw, which had scattered the demon and taken the black coffin, was beyond their comprehension.
Everything happened so quickly that they doubted what they had seen.
No one answered the cultivator’s question, but Li Xuemiao heard it, confirming his earlier experience.
“That must be Master’s mount. But I’ve never seen him with a divine bird...”
Li Xuemiao looked at the Mysterious Demon’s arm, filled with surprise.
...
[You have successfully seized 61,982,073,922 years of lifespan from the Karma Greedy Demon (Great Clear Golden Immortal Realm, Perfect)]
Gu An looked at the notification, then raised his right hand. He was still standing on the cliff in the Wushi Dao Field, facing the vast mountain range.
A bird descended from the sky, landing on his hand. It was his Transcendent Venerable Spirit, the Primordial Divine Sparrow.
The Primordial Divine Sparrow held a black object in its beak, which was the black coffin, now reduced to the size of a finger.
Gu An raised his left hand and took the black coffin, which grew larger but still fit in his hand.
There was something inside!
This entity was even more terrifying than the Karma Greedy Demon, with a cultivation level reaching the initial stage of the Miao Zhen Great Dao Realm, two major realms higher than Li Xuemiao. This was why Gu An had acted.
Gu An didn’t plan to destroy the demon inside immediately. He was intrigued by it, so he used his hand to impose a powerful restriction, turning the black coffin into a black token. He casually hung it on his belt.
He then turned and walked down the mountain, with the Primordial Divine Sparrow hopping onto his shoulder.
As he descended, he gently stroked it.
At the base of the mountain, he encountered An Zizai.
An Zizai saw him and immediately bowed, then asked with a smile, “Great Grandmaster, are you walking the divine sparrow again? When will it develop sentience?”
The Primordial Divine Sparrow, which Gu An had brought from outside, often flew around the training ground. All the disciples knew it, but none had seen it display any strength. Its aura was very faint, making it seem weak.
Gu An smiled and replied, “Developing sentience isn’t just about speaking. It’s actually very intelligent and can understand everything in the world.”
An Zizai nodded, not daring to argue with Gu An. He then said, “Great Grandmaster, the Tian Ling Dao Alliance’s leader is about to form the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and has invited Under Heaven’s Great Cultivators to witness the transcension. They’ve also sent an invitation to Nothingness. Should I represent Nothingness and go see the spectacle?”
Mentioning the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, a peculiar expression appeared on his face.
This realm had already caused a stir in the immortal cultivation world, and he had heard about it long ago. He didn’t know how powerful a Golden Immortal was, but he had always been curious and wanted to see it for himself.
