Chapter 995: Chapter 987: Extreme Nether Emperor
Gu An gripped a silver spear, swiftly swinging it, each thrust could steal the lifespan of an evil demon.
Compared to other Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, he did not display grandiose divine skills and spells. He fought relying on his movement technique and mana, each move was simple yet effective.
He wasn’t far from Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor, often helping to share their burden.
"He seems so relaxed."
The White Spirit Demon Emperor, while exhaling demon flame, exclaimed in awe.
She and Lu Lingjun shared a mind connection; with just a thought, they could hear each other’s inner voice.
Lu Lingjun glanced at Gu An, and upon seeing his figure, the restlessness in her heart began to dissipate.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had already spread out to avoid the bombardment of divine skills from Chaos Evil Demons. Yet, even dispersed, they maintained a kind of profound mysterious formation, striving to neutralize the demonic qi.
[You have successfully seized 53,260,223,104 years of lifespan from Lulo Demon (Late Stage of Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm)]
[You have successfully seized 30,196,001,665 years of lifespan from Langxie Xiao Yin (Perfect Innate Golden Immortal Realm)]
[You have successfully seized 7,109,982 years of lifespan from Mo Bu Wang (Early Stage of Taiching Golden Immortal Realm)]
[You have successfully seized 821,309,784 years of lifespan from Tun Fa Lao Gui (Balancing Heaven Golden Immortal Realm Perfection)]
Continuous notifications emerged before Gu An’s eyes, making his mood incomparably pleasant.
He suppressed his mana to the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm to enjoy the pleasure of battle.
He hadn’t experienced such uninterrupted combat for many years, thinking about his own dao during the fight.
Even for a saint, the cultivation road is still a long path to tread.
Breaking through by evolving lifespan is one thing; spending time to comprehend the dao is another; the two do not conflict.
Gu An was killing enemies as naturally as drinking water, effortlessly and leisurely, but he did not stand out on the chaotic void battlefield.
The mightiest Marshal of Heaven bore the most hatred. The evil demons attacking him were extremely formidable, often drawing the attention of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
"Hiss—"
A sound like a dragon’s roar resounded; a bright white fissure appeared in the darkness, from which enormous divine steeds galloped out.
The hoofbeats of each divine steed shook the universe, their unstoppable momentum relieving the pressure on the celestial army.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals did not cheer but seized the opportunity to continue the slaughter.
Chaos had no concept of hour, and this war showed no signs of stopping. Both sides fought with all their might, totally forgetting themselves, with no one fleeing.
Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor gradually cast aside their distractions, focusing on the battle, even ignoring the situation of other heavenly soldiers.
Unknown how much time passed.
The Marshal of Heaven, covered in blood, had the blood of demons clinging to his armor like a curse; his momentum was still terrifying. Two black qilins always accompanied him, defending against attacks from all sides, allowing him to concentrate on launching a thunderous offensive on his target.
He was the calmest presence on the battlefield, occasionally diverting his attention to check on the other Heavenly Soldiers, his growing sense of gravity.
Out of the hundred thousand celestial troops, only forty percent remained, with heavy casualties!
This celestial army was the elite of the Celestial Court. Even if they won in the end, the vitality of the Celestial Court would be affected.
Although the Celestial Court is strong, with profound foundations, not all Immortal Gods can support the Celestial Court at any time. Most Immortal Gods are scattered through the various realms of the Heavenly Dao or in secluded cultivation; in war, the Celestial Court mainly relies on the celestial army.
The Marshal of Heaven is the head of the Heavenly Gods, thoroughly understanding the situation of the Celestial Court.
"This battle is far more perilous than the intelligence predicted; besides the divine steeds, there is no other support from the Immortal Gods..."
The Marshal of Heaven’s eyes flickered; he sensed a scheme.
This battle is probably not as simple as it looks; it also involves internal struggle within the Celestial Court.
The current Heavenly Emperor’s control over the Celestial Court is far inferior to that of the previous Celestial Emperor.
Even though the Marshal of Heaven thought of this, there was no intention of retreating in his heart.
Even if he were to fight until the army was utterly destroyed, he would not stop, because it is his pride as a Heavenly God.
The existence of Heavenly Gods is to fight for the Heavenly Dao!
Gu An also continued to battle, his number of slain evil demons second only to the Marshal of Heaven in numbers, while his lifespan saw a surge, surpassing the accumulation of several billion years.
The continuous fighting increased the karma on him.
The so-called karma is a rule of the Great Dao, the hatred and resentment of the slain form an invisible force that clings to the slayer; once karma is heavy, it will affect the slayer’s mind.
The best way to offset karma is the power of merit!
The death of someone with heavy karma, on the contrary, is a form of merit for the slayer.
These Chaos Evil Demons mostly bear karma; even though he had slain many evil demons, the karma on Gu An could not affect him.
He deliberately let the karma manifest so that he could be the same as the other Heavenly Soldiers.
Looking at the entire field, all Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were surrounded by black fiendish qi, as if about to become demons; that was the manifestation of karma.
In the dark depths, a massive Black City was stealthily advancing. At its pinnacle, a square stood dozens of figures, each with extraordinary momentum.
The leader was the Lord of Cangming, the Extreme Nether Emperor.
The Extreme Nether Emperor was burly, draped in a purple robe, with a dignified face, human-like features, wearing a dragon-head-shaped purple crown, a dark red magical beast resembling a fox lay on his shoulder, like a blood scarf draped over him.
"This Marshal of Heaven is truly impressive; no wonder he can securely hold the position of Marshal."
A Great Power of Cangming sighed, causing the other Great Powers to agree.
The Extreme Nether Emperor’s gaze remained indifferent, clearly not considering the Marshal of Heaven remarkable.
After a while, he spoke slowly, "It seems the new Heavenly Emperor is still preoccupied with power struggles; this farce must end. Who wishes to step forward?"
As soon as he finished, five figures immediately stepped forth, each exuding an immensely terrifying momentum.
"Endless Demon Immortal, you go. Except for the Marshal of Heaven, everyone else should be killed."
The Extreme Nether Emperor gazed forward, coldly ordering, and with that, the Endless Demon Immortal vanished into thin air.
The other Cangming Great Powers continued to discuss with laughter and chatter, not giving much regard to the celestial army.
Meanwhile, the Extreme Nether Emperor’s pupils showed a new scene, that was the macro manifestation of the Heavenly Dao.
...
Lu Lingjun was exhausted in mind and body; prolonged fierce fighting pushed her to the limit, although the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit was still continuously supplying mana, the speed could no longer keep up with her consumption.
She was about to reach her limit!
Not just her, the demon flame exhaled by the White Spirit Demon Emperor was already far less intense than initially, with no words left in her heart to say.
A sharp cry reached them, startling Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor to turn their heads. A disheveled female demon rushed at them, her sharp claws glinting coldly.
So fast!
Lu Lingjun’s pupils contracted; she instinctively raised her sword, but her speed couldn’t match the opponent at all.
