Chapter 986: Chapter 978: Ji of Eternity, Battle Sovereign

The matter of Gu An becoming the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch caused quite a stir within the Celestial Court, but ever since defeating the Golden Body Divine Venerable, he has not appeared again, gradually leading the Immortal Gods to set him aside.

Every day, new Gods are born in the Celestial Court, and there are also Immortal Gods who make mistakes and are punished, expelled from the Celestial Court, maintaining a form of reincarnation.

Years pass by, time flies like an arrow, and the ever-rolling Red Dust buries countless Bai Gu.

A hundred million years pass in the blink of an eye.

After becoming the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, Gu An still spends most of his time in Central Heaven, occasionally going to the Celestial Court.

He keeps a low profile in the Celestial Court and does not interfere with the Immortal Gods under his command.

A hundred million years feels long for the Human World, but for the Immortal Gods of the Celestial Court, it’s akin to hundreds of thousands of years, passing by with a single long retreat.

The myth of Gu An’s ascension to Immortality is very ancient for beings on the continent, sung by generations, yet few still believe in its truth.

This year, at the New Year, Gu An stands on the mountain of Inch Island, gazing into the distance, looking at the Path of the Great Dao.

The Path of the Great Dao stands independent of the Three Thousand Great Worlds and all realms, any world can directly reach the Path of the Great Dao, and to this day, it remains the road that ultimate geniuses wish to conquer.

On the current Path of the Great Dao, the Daoist Emperor still holds the most sought-after Great Dao Destiny, but compared to the past, today’s Daoist Emperor focuses less on slaughter, a change brought by the True Yuan Ancestor, who, while cultivating, has continuously been transforming the Daoist Emperor.

Gu An sees Chaos Power invading the Path of the Great Dao, creating a brand-new Great Dao Destiny.

Eternal War Emperor!

The Eternal War Emperor can make someone stronger with each battle, enhancing all aspects of a cultivator after each life-and-death battle, with growth seemingly doubling.

This makes those pursuing the Eternal War Emperor fond of battle, with the vast majority dying along the way.

Even with a high mortality rate, cultivators continually pursue this destiny.

Gu An already sees the Eternal War Emperor’s potential to surpass the Daoist Emperor because the creator of the Eternal War Emperor has already dispatched many subordinates to guide it.

The Eternal Dao Extreme is behind the Eternal War Emperor!

Not the Eternal Great Thousand Venerable who sought Hong Yi, but another presence.

Since being defeated by Gu An, the Eternal Great Thousand Venerable dares not invade the Heavenly Dao, apart from occasionally sending treasures for Hong Yi, he no longer participates in matters against the Heavenly Dao, nor does he involve himself in the Eternal War Emperor affair, not even warning the Eternal Dao Extreme.

Even within the Eternal, there is internal strife, and Gu An can hear the schadenfreude in the heart of the Eternal Great Thousand Venerable.

In contrast to the rivaling Daoist Emperor and Eternal War Emperor, the Primordial Dao Emperors created by Gu An are numerous but prefer Enlightenment, seldom engaging in conflicts, and thus, in terms of momentum, can’t match the first two.

As Gu An watches the struggle of the Eternal War Emperor, the True Yuan Ancestor arrives beside him.

“Master, recently I’ve felt the Heavenly Dao being invaded by some force, this force has set its sights on the Daoist Emperor.”

The True Yuan Ancestor spoke, frowning.

Since being attacked by the Mingji God, he has been full of vigilance against Chaos, viewing all entities outside the Heavenly Dao as evil, and indeed, as he thought, he sees invaders on the Path of the Great Dao continuously creating slaughter, spreading various rumors to draw those seeking the Eternal War Emperor to target his Daoist Emperor.

Although the Daoist Emperor was not created by the True Yuan Ancestor, over the years, the Daoist Emperor has provided him with much insight, and in his heart, he already feels the responsibility of the Daoist Emperor’s master, unwilling to see the Daoist Emperor fall into treachery.

“Indeed, how do you plan to act?” Gu An asked with a smile, his gaze still aimed into the distance.

The True Yuan Ancestor replied, “I am already a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, and it’s time I repay the Daoist Emperor.”

Gu An nodded slightly, saying, “Go if you want to.”

“Do you have any instructions?” The True Yuan Ancestor looked at Gu An and asked, holding great respect for him, as Gu An was not only his master but also owed him a life-saving grace he would never forget.

After aiding the Daoist Emperor out of this calamity, he would return to Inch Island to cultivate diligently.

Being a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal is far from enough for him.

He wants to pursue his master’s realm.

“None, I just want to see how you will act, though you’ve lived long, you have yet to truly experience the trials of the world, this tribulation would be a good trial opportunity for you.”

Gu An glanced at the True Yuan Ancestor, speaking softly, eyes filled with deep meaning.

The True Yuan Ancestor took a deep breath, bowed to Gu An, then transformed into a green light piercing through the cloudy horizon.

Gu An watched him depart, his future already visible before Gu An’s eyes.

“Master, when is Liu An coming back?”

Xuanwu’s voice came from down the mountain, although the True Yuan Ancestor accompanied him the longest, it was Liu An whom he missed the most.

“Soon.”

Gu An dropped these two words, then turned to leave, bringing a smile to Xuanwu’s face as he fished by the ocean.

…

In the dim void, two figures clash madly, their mana forming two ferocious dragons that continuously surge at each other, relentlessly tearing at one another.

Upon closer inspection, one of them is Liu An, who once cultivated on Inch Island.

Liu An is dressed in red, with no hair on his head, and two dark red dragon horns curving back, wielding a large blade, as he swings it, blade energy crisscrosses, Dharma Aspects manifest frequently.

His opponent is a man in black clothes, with a cold expression, surrounded by seven swords that constantly shift the Sword Array, breaking his spells and Divine Skills, and also causing him harm.

This man in black is Wei Ye, who crossed into the Heavenly Dao World with Liu An.

Compared to when they first crossed over, the two have shed their mortal aura, now full of grandeur.

They started their rivalry in the Mortal World, ascended several times, and every time they dominated an era and reached the peak, looking back, their greatest opponent was still their dearest friend, their closest brother.

They fought fiercely, their battle unleashing Great Dao thunder, with each move full of killing intent, showing no mercy.

“Wei Ye, it seems you and I are still locked in a stalemate!”

Liu An shouted loudly, his face brimming with excitement, yet his eyes deep within held dissatisfaction.

If it weren’t for a fortuitous encounter in Central Heaven long ago, learning Divine Skills from the Old Immortal on Inch Island, he truly wouldn’t be a match for Wei Ye.

Wei Ye, without the central heavenly fortune, always managed to catch up to him with his aptitude, which left him with mixed feelings.

Sometimes, he’s grateful for Wei Ye’s presence that prevents him from feeling lonely, but sometimes, he’s also frustrated by his resilience.

Wei Ye’s face remained icy, his gaze as cold as a sword’s gleaming light, and he replied coldly, “Victory or defeat often comes down to an instant, if you are careless, it will be your death!”

The two once more unleashed their most powerful Divine Skills, terrifying mana collided together, a dazzling light erupted, shattering this piece of the void, winds raged, sweeping them into a darker abyss.
