Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 551 - 548: The Strongest in the World
Chapter 551: Chapter 548: The Strongest in the World
The shout of the Supreme Demon Emperor made all beings realize the strength of Shengtian. Those ancient legends resurfaced in everyone’s minds.
Before the changing of the eras, Shengtian was the most powerful existence between heaven and earth and was the supreme ruler, the true sovereign of heaven and earth.
Later on, she vanished, and many influential figures emerged in the world, causing her name to be seldom mentioned.
What was Shengtian doing?
Just how strong was she?
Countless creatures gazed at the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit suspended above the ground, speculating in their hearts.
…
Shengtian had a very positive image, and in front of such terrifying celestial phenomena, the beings who knew of her began to hope that she could save everything.
Inside the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.
Gu An stayed in his own room, watching the battle. Zhu Xi was absorbing the power of the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit while resisting the offensive from the Supreme Demon Realm, facing thousands alone, displaying immense strength.
That Supreme Demon Emperor was also a Profound Yuan Free Immortal, and even at the same realm, with a group of powerful subordinates assisting him, he was still unable to gain the upper hand over Zhu Xi.
At this rate, Zhu Xi would certainly merge with the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.
Judging by Zhu Xi’s performance, Gu An felt she was now invincible in the Profound Yuan Free Immortal Realm, which was quite exaggerated since she had not only just entered the Profound Yuan Free Immortal Realm but had also just broken through from the Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal Realm.
Even with the borrowed power of the Immortal Seeker aiding Zhu Xi, her own battle talent was also very strong.
Looking across all beings in the Celestial Spirit Great World, judging solely by battle talent, Gu An felt that only An Hao could barely compare to Zhu Xi.
Li Ya, Lv Xian, Yang Jian, Chen Chuan, and others were far behind.
With Gu An’s current Cultivation Level, he had the confidence to make such a judgment, for all beings in the world were within his sight.
“Disciple, what would you do?”
Gu An muttered to himself, referring to An Hao.
Under the guidance of the Celestial Dao Golden Core, An Hao also wanted to contend for the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.
But even with the power of the Celestial Dao Golden Core, he couldn’t possibly be Zhu Xi’s opponent.
The Celestial Dao Golden Core and the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit both belonged to the same person, but the Dao Fruit itself was transformed from the Golden Core.
How this being could retain both Dao Fruit and Golden Core, or what Daoist Technique they cultivated, was unknown.
Could he possibly nurture two Golden Cores?
Gu An began to look forward to this being’s appearance.
All the current struggles were a game between the Celestial Spirit God and the founder of the Celestial Spirit Great World; all beings were mere pawns.
Apart from Gu An, the Immortal Seeker was the only variable. Long Jun from the past did not count; he was no threat to the Celestial Spirit God.
As Gu An continued to deduce, the battle between the Supreme Demon Realm and Shengtian intensified, and the world began to feel the effects, with the range getting wider and wider.
As the saying goes, when immortals fight, mortals suffer; even a hint of their unleashed pressure was enough to plunge a region into crisis.
Time flew by rapidly.
An Xin, Celestial Demon Child, Lv Xian, and others couldn’t calm down to cultivate. They gathered together, discussing the earth-shaking battle. The screen Gu An left behind was reflecting the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, which was precisely the battlefield itself.
Looking at the unstoppable Zhu Xi, those who had seen her before were all marveling: they had never imagined that the once timid female disciple would have such a domineering side.
“It looks like the Supreme Demon Realm can’t stop her.”
“She seems to be absorbing the power of the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.”
“Goodness, if she successfully absorbs it, will she continue to break through?”
“This Dao Fruit is heaven and earth itself—controlling it would mean controlling the entire world. It’s unimaginable.”
“Yes, but don’t forget what Master said—all of this is due to the machinations of Immortal Gods, who have yet to show themselves.”
Disciples excitedly discussed among themselves, they were amazed by Zhu Xi and the strength of the Supreme Demon Realm, but they weren’t panicked, although they didn’t say it outright, everyone felt in their hearts that Gu An was the strongest.
Even the Blood Prison Great Saint, who had seen the end of Great Heaven and Earth, was calm.
In his view, even if his master couldn’t defeat that being capable of destroying the universe, he had the power to protect himself; as long as his master dared to continue watching the chaos, he wouldn’t panic.
He even suspected that his master wanted to snatch the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
The battle for the Dao Fruit continued, the Supreme Demon Realm had already lost half of its forces, and much of the land had cracked, killing countless beings.
Sea waves rolled endlessly into the distance, with many magical treasures and flying creatures following them.
Various sects were migrating, and there were imperial dynasties taking their citizens to flee, but during the escape, there was both unity and shady deeds happening.
Tai Cang Continent was far from the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, countless cultivators at the continent’s edge were blocking tsunamis; there was no immediate catastrophe, but the hearts of everyone grew increasingly heavy.
The longer time dragged on, the more disaster it brought to all beings.
That day at noon.
Another boundless and mighty pressure descended; this pressure didn’t make the creatures of heaven and earth feel uncomfortable but instead brought a revitalizing sensation.
“Hmm? That Golden Core has actually found an inheritor, wait, could it be…”
The Immortal Seeker, standing on the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, frowned and muttered to himself, not far away, Zhu Xi continued to absorb the power of the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.
Looking upward, Zhu Xi was condensing a Dharma Aspect even larger than the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, with a thousand arms, each holding different magical treasures; the Dharma Aspect was ever-changing and dazzling to behold.
Zhu Xi turned her head to look at him and asked, “Could it be what?”
The Immortal Seeker had a complex look in his eyes but simply shook his head slightly, saying nothing.
Seeing that he was hiding something from her, a chill flashed in Zhu Xi’s eyes, but she said no more.
At this point, she had no retreat.
In fact, not seeing the Celestial Spirit God up to this point, Zhu Xi felt something was off.
The absence of the Celestial Spirit God meant that even if her actions were successful, they wouldn’t threaten him, which was a frightening prospect.
Zhu Xi looked down at the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit beneath her feet, her gaze attempting to pierce through the golden Dao Patterns, to see through the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit.
A dazzling bright light struck from the side, hitting Zhu Xi’s face; she glanced over to see a huge sun appearing in the sky, illuminating the entire Celestial Spirit Great World.
In an instant, the whole world was enveloped in strong light; the nearby continents and oceans were stripped of colour.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Out of the massive sun surged waves of fire, forming huge Golden Dragons larger than mountains, breathing scorching heat.
“The Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, I, An Hao also desire it!”
A loud voice like thunder rang through heaven and earth, audible to all creatures.
The name An Hao instantly embedded itself in the memory of all beings, those who knew him were incredulous, and those who didn’t felt tense.
Just hearing the voice made one want to submit; such a powerful being entering the battlefield would surely bring even greater catastrophe to heaven and earth.
“An Hao…”
At Supreme Sect, within the Third Medicine Valley, the aged Lv Baitian sat by his garden, looking up at the bright sun in the sky, mumbling to himself.
His turbid eyes gradually brightened.
In a trance, it seemed he saw the spirited youth from nine thousand years ago standing in front of him again.
“I really am old…” Lv Baitian mumbled to himself.
“But you certainly aren’t old yet, where are you, watching all this?”
