Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1002: Beyond Outer Heaven

Hong Lu lifted his head, tightly staring at Purple Dome Dao Emperor. This scene caused the onlookers to shift their gaze back and forth between him and Purple Dome Dao Emperor, which further fueled Purple Dome Dao Emperor’s growing anger.

Gu An remained silent, prepared to watch the spectacle.

Hong Lu, having just come into existence, had yet to establish a sense of strength and weakness; his instinct drove him to challenge Purple Dome Dao Emperor.

He was not hesitating now; he was waiting for the Celestial Dao Destiny to disperse. Once free, he would make his move.

Behind Purple Dome Dao Emperor, three glaring suns rapidly expanded, illuminating the entire Path of the Great Dao, while the black cat at his feet stood up, its body swelling into a massive and fierce black leopard, an eye opening on its forehead, making it appear even more majestic.

A domineering aura erupted from Purple Dome Dao Emperor, shaking the entire Path of the Great Dao, causing the expressions of all onlookers to drastically change, as they felt a terrifying fear.

Hong Lu felt it most profoundly, but rather than fear, he became even more ferocious, his face twisted with rage. He glared at Purple Dome Dao Emperor, as if roaring soundlessly from his mouth.

Bang!

The great Dao air currents were dispersed, and the pit beneath Hong Lu instantly expanded. His figure vanished into thin air, suddenly appearing in front of Purple Dome Dao Emperor. He raised his right hand, retracting his fist, as black air currents swirled like a vortex around his right fist; he punched out, unleashing the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Below, the onlookers resisting the Qi Force suddenly felt a change in the surrounding scenery, even the space around them shattering.

Blood Prison Great Saint was startled but unaffected, only sensing his vision turning white, then quickly devoured by darkness.

He focused his gaze, noting that the onlookers were scattered around, yet the Path of the Great Dao beneath them had vanished, leaving them in total darkness.

Blood Prison Great Saint’s senses quickly returned. He shuddered, looking up to see a figure quickly moving below the enormous suns, while Purple Dome Dao Emperor remained seated on the Emperor’s Throne.

The swiftly moving figure was Hong Lu, continuously launching attacks on Purple Dome Dao Emperor; however, an invisible barrier seemed to surround Purple Dome Dao Emperor, preventing him from breaking through.

With repeated failed attacks, Hong Lu found himself moving further away from Purple Dome Dao Emperor, and as the distance increased, his tactics shifted from fists to spells and divine skills of ingenuity.

Those Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals kept their eyes on Hong Lu, their expressions growing increasingly grim, including True Yuan Ancestor.

Hong Lu’s aura continued to rise, causing all beings, except for Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals, to retreat, distancing themselves from the battlefield between Hong Lu and Purple Dome Dao Emperor.

"Master, what is this guy’s cultivation level?" Blood Prison Great Saint swallowed, asking cautiously.

His eyes struggled to follow Hong Lu’s speed; despite his master’s protection, Hong Lu’s aura filled him with dread, as if the pressure could crush him remotely.

To be so powerful right after emerging...

Blood Prison Great Saint had never felt so insignificant; everything about him seemed trivial in the face of Hong Lu.

This was the true difference between immortal and mortal, wasn’t it?

"Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal."

Gu An’s voice drifted lightly, making Blood Prison Great Saint’s eyes widen, his mouth open, yet no words came out.

Hong Lu’s wings vibrated, sweeping out a leg, accompanied by thunder and fire, illuminating half the void; formidable momentum pushed those Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals protected by mana away.

The faces of the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals changed drastically.

To reach their Great Realm straight after birth, and threaten them soon after entering combat?

What was this?

True Yuan Ancestor was pushed back the least; he could have remained unmoved, but seeing other Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals retreat, he chose not to stand out and disguised his reaction.

Even those who mastered the Daoist Emperor Destiny and had seen many prodigious figures, True Yuan Ancestor found such exaggerated comprehension unprecedented.

What was the origin of this being?

True Yuan Ancestor was shocked internally, though usually humble, he knew there were few beings more talented than him; yet today, comparing to Hong Lu, he couldn’t help but marvel at the vastness of the cosmos.

Hong Lu’s aura continued to grow, increasing pressure on the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals.

Seated on the Emperor’s Throne, Purple Dome Dao Emperor waved his sleeve towards the distance, sending all beings with a cultivation level lower than Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal to another Path of the Great Dao.

Gu An smiled, this was why he was willing to guide Purple Dome Dao Emperor; Purple Dome Dao Emperor differed from other Immortal Gods, even as Celestial Dao Venerable, he harbored benevolence.

After relocating the weaker ones, Purple Dome Dao Emperor’s expression turned icy. He stood up, and the aura belonging to Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal exploded completely, halting Hong Lu.

Hong Lu hung in the void, posed to punch, his face contorted, eyes blood-red, hair flowing wildly like a mad demon.

Despite being restrained by Purple Dome Dao Emperor’s aura, he remained undaunted, continuing to roar at Purple Dome Dao Emperor.

The black leopard beside Purple Dome Dao Emperor could bear no more, lunging at him, its sharp claws nearly touching him.

"Stop!"

Purple Dome Dao Emperor’s voice rang out, halting the black leopard instantly.

Facing the leopard’s claws, Hong Lu displayed no fear; in front of the leopard, he seemed as insignificant as an ant beneath a mountain.

The Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals sighed in relief; they knew the Celestial Dao Venerable was strong, but Hong Lu’s rate of strengthening was too exaggerated, and his killing intent surged.

Such an existence, if not curbed timely, was uncertain what future calamities might unfold.

Purple Dome Dao Emperor didn’t act against Hong Lu, instead, he turned to look at Gu An, who sat atop Blood Prison Great Saint, asking, "Heavenly Monarch, since you can foresee a farther future, how do you suggest I proceed?"

All Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals turned their gaze to Gu An at these words.

The supreme Immortals of Celestial Court were filled with curiosity towards Gu An; why would Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch appear here?

Responding to Purple Dome Dao Emperor’s inquiry, Gu An candidly replied, "I think Fellow Daoist can wait a bit longer."

Wait?

Confusion flashed across Purple Dome Dao Emperor’s eyes, as did the others of Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.

Wait for whom?

They fixed their gaze on Hong Lu, whose body trembled, clearly struggling fiercely, yet unable to break free from the Celestial Dao Venerable’s restraint.

Purple Dome Dao Emperor also doubted Hong Lu possessed the potential to escape his control, reaching such a realm was already incredible.

Clearly, there was another being about to arrive!

Could it be that terrifying, mysterious Cause and Effect?

Purple Dome Dao Emperor’s eyes flickered; if it truly was that mysterious Cause and Effect, he could certainly not be its match.

He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Gu An, sensing Gu An’s goodwill.

The other’s arrival might be for the Heavenly Dao.

As for prematurely bringing Hong Lu back to Celestial Court, he thought it was not a wise idea.

Of late, the Heavenly Dao and Chaos have been frequently clashing, if Hong Lu was a Chaos scheme, it demanded caution.

"Oh, didn’t expect someone to foresee my arrival, but are you sure you want to face me?"

A cold snicker echoed, abruptly sending chills through all Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals.
