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

Chapter 1104: Chapter 1095: Disappointment

Facing the inquiry of the Celestial Emperor, the Nine Yang Divine Ancestor remained expressionless and retorted, "Since you are unsure of what lies hidden in Chaos, how dare you continue to stand guard here? I give you one last chance: leave Chaos, and consider it the advice of a predecessor to a junior."

The Celestial Emperor sneered, "Is it advice, or is it uncertainty?"

Boom——

A terrifying aura that dominated the heavens and earth erupted from the body of the Celestial Emperor. He then stood up, took a step forward, and the Celestial Dao Destiny behind him condensed into a mighty Heavenly Dao Golden Dragon, which roared at the Nine Yang Divine Ancestor with its teeth and claws outstretched.

The Nine Yang Divine Ancestor squinted his eyes, secretly amazed, not expecting the Celestial Emperor to be so formidable.

Is this one truly just newly sanctified?

The somewhat wavering Nine Yang Divine Ancestor at this moment made up his mind.

The Chaos must be taken, to seize the great fortune that might transcend the Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm!

The gaze of the Nine Yang Divine Ancestor changed, and the atmosphere of the Palace of the Polestar suddenly shifted. They arrived in the void, with nine bright suns appearing behind him.

Two terrifying holy intents had already merged together, and they opened up a battlefield, far from the Heavenly Dao.

The Celestial Emperor was here to protect the Heavenly Dao, while the Nine Yang Divine Ancestor aimed to preserve the Heavenly Dao.

In the absence of clarity on where the great fortune lies, the saints decided to retain the Heavenly Dao, sealing the Heavenly Dao Saints as a solution.

A holy battle thus erupted!

...

Lu Lingjun seemed to have had a very long dream, so long that it felt like experiencing a grand life.

She saw the evolution of Hongmeng, saw its peak — a prosperity that even the current Heavenly Dao cannot achieve, yet even such Hongmeng was destroyed, and she witnessed an unprecedented battle.

Although unable to see clearly, only observing from afar, she could be sure it was related to the saints.

Only saints possess the power to destroy Hongmeng.

After the collapse of Hongmeng, a figure arrived and established the Heavenly Dao on the ruins of Hongmeng.

Lu Lingjun’s perception of the Heavenly Dao was completely altered; since ancient times, the foundation of the Heavenly Dao has been tied to the Celestial Court, because the Heavenly Dao was created by the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, and all beings have revered the Heavenly Dao, with immortals and gods in awe of the Celestial Emperor.

But now, the truth is not so.

The Heavenly Dao was indeed created by the Celestial Emperor, but she could see that the Heavenly Dao was merely a transformation of Hongmeng, without which Hongmeng would still birth life.

The Lu Lingjun crawling in the Red Dust couldn’t help but entertain conspiracy theories regarding Hongmeng’s demise.

Lu Lingjun felt utterly exhausted, and as she slowly opened her eyes, what met her gaze was a shattered celestial vault, filled with crimson clouds, with clusters of black flames descending like rain.

Those were the Evil Heart Black Flames!

The White Spirit Demon Emperor lay on Lu Lingjun’s shoulder, still unconscious.

Lu Lingjun turned her head and saw a massive black pillar of energy at the center of the Heavenly Realm, piercing through the celestial vault and breaking through the sea of clouds, with terrifying figures surging within.

She saw many immortals and gods in the distance entangled by the Evil Heart Black Flames, some already awake, others still trapped in the Illusion Realm.

Everything seemed so desperate, yet Lu Lingjun was already numb, with no change in her state of mind.

Until...

She saw that her own right palm also began to grow Evil Heart Black Flames.

"Is everything going to end..."

Lu Lingjun murmured, with no joy or sorrow discernible.

Suddenly, she thought of someone, and the thought brought her strength, swiftly sweeping away her negative emotions.

There is still hope!

Lu Lingjun turned to look, wanting to see that person, just like before, whenever she was in despair, that person would always appear.

Unfortunately, no matter which direction she looked, she couldn’t see the shadow of that person.

Heavenly Realm was under the attack of the Evil Heart Yin Yang Array, the plane was collapsing, destiny dissipating, while the Human World fared even worse, with spatial cracks appearing across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Great Dao Domain, and All Heavens and Mortal Realms, endless enemies pouring in.

There were humans, demon race, and demon race, as well as countless ghost souls, all forces from other Dao Universes, ordered by saints to eliminate demons.

In their eyes, the Heavenly Dao is an evil source threatening the worlds, and must be extinguished, otherwise the consequences would be endless.

Central Heaven was similarly in chaos.

Ji Xiaoyu stood on the eaves, overlooking the Yin Yang Immortal Domain, where figures engaged in battle everywhere, with horrifying black cracks appearing in the distant celestial vault, continuously spewing enemies.

The enemies she faced came not just from Outer Heaven, but also internally.

Many disciples were bewitched by the Evil Heart Black Flames, starting to harm their fellow disciples, she even saw her beloved disciple laughing maniacally amidst a sea of corpses.

Ji Xiaoyu always believed herself strong, but the current predicament was shaking her mind. For the first time, she truly saw no hope; everything she cherished was being destroyed, while unknown enemies were drawing closer.

With her abilities, she could naturally sense the changes in Celestial Dao Destiny, this was an unprecedented chaos.

Now, she finally understood why Gu An, albeit strong, had to hide his identity, dwelling within the Red Dust, for the crisis beyond the Great Dao was truly unfathomable.

"Saints..."

Ji Xiaoyu looked to the distance, her eyes confused, murmuring to herself.

After listening in the Palace of the Polestar, she began to aim at becoming a saint, yet the time required to become a saint was immeasurable.

Now, time did not wait for her.

Ji Xiaoyu took a deep breath, with the Celestial Dragon Demon-Suppressing Aspect appearing behind her. No matter how cruel reality may be, she would not sit idly awaiting her fate, even if to die, she would strive to fight.

...

Wushi Realm.

An Zizai, cloaked in black robes, hovered in the air, with Evil Heart Black Flames forming a black dragon circling him, his gaze coolly surveying the boundless mountains and rivers.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, it was An Zizai’s most cherished junior, Wu Xie.

Wu Xie remained the pillar of support for Wushi, the aspirational figure for junior disciples, unaffected by the Evil Heart Black Flames.

He looked at An Zizai, his brows furrowed, and he spoke coldly, "Ancestor, if you do not turn back, even if you intend to harm Wushi, I will do my utmost to kill you."

As he said these words, his killing intent was utterly unconcealed, appearing even more sinister than An Zizai.

At this moment, Wushi Realm was already in disarray, with many disciples beginning to slaughter one another.

An Zizai looked at Wu Xie, with a faint smile, "Do you truly feel no resentment in your heart? You are the most talented and perceptive disciple in Wushi’s history, but did the ancestor ever really teach you wholeheartedly?"

Wu Xie raised his hand, condensing a black great blade, his killing intent had solidified.

"No matter how strong my comprehension is, the ancestor is not obliged to wholly favor me. I have achieved what I have today thanks to him granting me opportunities. On the contrary, you, the one most valued by the forebear, why is there resentment in your heart, why could you not withstand the bewitchment?"

"Ancestor, you should not be like this, I am very disappointed in you."

As Wu Xie said his piece, his mana erupted suddenly, he maneuvered above An Zizai, slashing down fiercely.

There was a boom!

The mountains and rivers below were cleaved open, and billowing dust surged up, threatening to pierce the heavens.

Immediately after, Wu Xie and An Zizai transformed into two streaks of light, clashing furiously, mana shockwaves formed wave after wave, shaking the world, grand in momentum.
