Chapter 720: Yellow Heaven’s Golden Rain

Ascending Yellow Heaven!

Hearing this name, the faces of the Blood Prison Saint, Fang Xuan, and the others changed dramatically. After roaming the Path of the Grand Dao for so many years, they naturally knew the fame of Ascending Yellow Heaven. It was an extremely ancient universe plane, mysterious and powerful.

The Blood Prison Saint turned to the others, frowning as he asked, “Who has a grudge with Ascending Yellow Heaven?”

Everyone looked at each other. One of them, a Daoist in yellow robes, cautiously said, “I didn’t offend Ascending Yellow Heaven, but I did meet a cultivator from there before. He was interested in the Hunyuan Dao Emperor, so we had a bit of a conversation…”

The Blood Prison Saint’s eyes widened, and he snapped, “So you told him about us too?”

The yellow-robed Daoist looked aggrieved, “Second Brother, didn’t you and Big Brother say we should spread the name of the Hunyuan Dao Emperor? The stronger the overall fate of the Hunyuan Dao Emperor, the more benefit we’d get.”

The Blood Prison Saint was left speechless, glaring at him in frustration.

Fang Xuan wasn’t nervous though, since Gu An had come in person.

Even though Ascending Yellow Heaven was renowned, he could never forget the scene of Gu An destroying the War Court all by himself. That was a nightmare he would remember for life.

“Master, are you going to help us teach Ascending Yellow Heaven a lesson?” The Blood Prison Saint turned to Gu An, asking eagerly.

If Gu An made a move, that would give him serious bragging rights. He was always boasting to his brothers about how strong his Master was, but seeing is believing. He wanted his brothers to witness just how powerful his Master really was.

Most importantly, if his Master made a move for him, it would prove he hadn’t chosen the wrong person to follow.

The others also looked at Gu An. They didn’t know exactly how strong he was, but over the years they’d heard the Blood Prison Saint talk about how terrifying the Lord of Wushi was, and their curiosity had only grown.

And Gu An had said that Ascending Yellow Heaven had already sealed off this void, yet he had slipped in unnoticed. That alone showed he was confident enough to face Ascending Yellow Heaven.

Gu An didn’t answer the Blood Prison Saint. Instead, he introduced Sin to him.

“Blood Prison Saint, I’ve often heard the senior brothers and sisters mention you,” Sin said politely, which made the Blood Prison Saint warm up to him right away. He laughed loudly in response.

The Blood Prison Saint looked carefree, but his heart was full of curiosity.

Who exactly was this kid?

To be brought here by Master to broaden his horizons, his background must be something else.

Gu An smiled, “Sit down for now, wait for Ascending Yellow Heaven to make their move.”

He took out the Pen of Destiny. After being reforged, the Pen of Destiny was now as long as a treasured sword, its bristles like three thousand strands of white silk, radiating immortal energy.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the Pen of Destiny. The moment they saw it, they knew it was an immortal treasure.

“Since Master has spoken, let’s all sit down and enjoy the show,” said the Blood Prison Saint, then waved at Sin, signaling him to sit beside him. He had lots of questions he wanted to ask Sin.

Gu An stood with his back to the group, spinning the Pen of Destiny with one hand.

He could destroy Ascending Yellow Heaven right now, but he wanted to use this chance to show the others just how powerful the Hunyuan Dao Emperor really was.

To be honest, he did have an old grudge with Ascending Yellow Heaven—or rather, it was a grudge from a past life.

The one who killed Long Xin was none other than Juenian Immortal Emperor of Ascending Yellow Heaven.

Even the Silent God Emperor couldn’t withstand that being.

But to Gu An now, the Juenian Immortal Emperor was nothing. The strongest in Ascending Yellow Heaven were only at the Heaven-Opening Grand Luo Immortal Realm, and there were just three of them.

Of course, with three Heaven-Opening Grand Luo Immortals backing them, Ascending Yellow Heaven was undeniably a terrifyingly powerful force. Besides those Grand Luo Immortals, Ascending Yellow Heaven had over one hundred thousand Golden Immortals. You had to know, most of the Heavenly Gods guarding the Grand Thousand Worlds were only at the Innate Golden Immortal Realm. Compared to that, Ascending Yellow Heaven's foundation was incredibly fearsome.

The Blood Prison Saint was chatting with Sin. Fang Xuan and the other six had sat down, but they didn’t dare to speak. Before long, they were drawn into Sin’s conversation. Sin was talking about the current situation in Wushi, which made Fang Xuan and the others curious about Wushi as well.

Time passed, minute by minute.

After about half an hour.

The Blood Prison Saint turned his head to look at Gu An, just about to ask where Ascending Yellow Heaven was, when suddenly, a dim yellow light curtain descended from the darkness above the void. It moved incredibly fast, quickly covering the void they were in. The meteor beneath their feet looked like a mere grain of sand within the yellow light curtain, utterly insignificant.

Everyone's faces changed, and they all stood up, looking up.

Inside the dim yellow light curtain, they saw golden rain falling from the top of the universe. It got heavier and heavier. As it was about to fall on the meteor, the golden rain turned into mist and spread rapidly.

“Ascending Yellow Heaven’s Yellow Heaven Golden Rain. This rain has extremely strong corrosive power, able to destroy both body and soul, and it can also imprison space and time, seal off cause and effect, making it impossible for enemies to escape.”

Fang Xuan spoke, his voice heavy, his eyes filled with tension.

Even though he had full confidence in Gu An, seeing the legendary Yellow Heaven Golden Rain still made him uneasy. It was an instinctive reaction to such terrifying power.

As the golden mist spread, the cosmic void became brighter, but the area around the meteor grew hazy and eerie.

They looked around, but could see no way out.

The speed of the Yellow Heaven Golden Rain was too fast. They could feel their bodies and souls getting heavier, as if some invisible giant mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.

Sin, however, wasn’t nervous. He just looked around curiously.

He had left the Desperate Heaven Tomb many years ago and had seen plenty of battles and killing, but he had never seen his Master fight. This made him incredibly eager.

“Two Hunyuan Dao Emperors, I hope I haven’t disturbed you by coming today?”

A vast and domineering voice echoed through the universe. As the voice fell, terrifying figures appeared in the golden mist around the meteor. There were dragon shadows, phoenix shadows, and even fearsome shapes like qilin and suanni rushing about. A towering figure appeared before them, like the creator god who had opened the heavens and split the earth, looking down from beyond the heavens on all living beings. The oppressive feeling was overwhelming, making one instinctively want to kneel.

The Blood Prison Saint was secretly shocked. After becoming a Hunyuan Dao Emperor, he had even fought with Vast Heaven Free Immortal. Although he wasn’t a match, he hadn’t felt despair.

But this mysterious towering figure gave him a feeling of utter helplessness.

This kind of aura was even stronger than when Gu An had fought the War Court.

Fang Xuan was also comparing the opponent’s aura to Gu An’s from before, and he couldn’t help but worry for Gu An.

The one who came was unimaginably powerful!

Countless terrifying figures darted through the sky-covering golden mist, like pets raised by the towering figure, too many to count. They surrounded the meteor where Gu An and the others stood, sealing off every direction.

The Blood Prison Saint saw Gu An remain silent, so he shouted loudly, “Senior of Ascending Yellow Heaven, we have never offended you!”

He used the respectful term “senior,” showing how nervous he was inside.

He wasn’t afraid of heaven or earth, but that depended on the situation and the opponent.

This mysterious figure before him had the most terrifying aura he had ever encountered in all his years. Even after becoming a Hunyuan Dao Emperor, he couldn’t summon the will to fight.
