If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1024 Separated by Two Major Realms

Cangming is currently the most powerful force in the open in the Chaos, and also the main force attacking the Heavenly Dao. It has countless powerful figures under its command, covering all realms.

Among them, the Lord of the Azure Netherworld, the Extreme Azure Emperor, has reached the Supreme Fusion Dao Venerable Emperor Realm, the same level of great realm as the Heavenly Emperor. This is why the Extreme Azure Emperor dares to challenge the Heavenly Dao, believing that he has the ability to suppress everything.

This time, the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River will face the main force of the Azure Netherworld, and may even encounter the Extreme Netherworld Azure Emperor.

The strength of the Heavenly River's First Demon-Slaying Army has already attracted the attention of the Netherworld Emperor.

If Gu An doesn't come, the First Demon-Slaying Army of Tianhe will be completely wiped out.

Upon seeing Gu An's arrival, both Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor relaxed and began discussing the upcoming battle.

They already knew the objective of this expedition, and immediately began discussing their understanding of Cangming.

While recounting the information, they kept observing Gu An's expression to try and guess his attitude towards Cang Ming.

Unfortunately, Gu An maintained a calm and composed expression, as if he were there for leisure rather than to fight.

"By the way, Ancestor, could you predict what immortal rank the Spirit Lord will ascend to once all the troubles of the Heavenly Dao are over?"

The White Spirit Demon Emperor looked at Gu An and asked expectantly.

Although Gu An never explained why he came, his ability to assist the Heavenly Court meant he must have a connection with the Heavenly Court and hold a high position.

Gu An laughed and said, "If I were the Heavenly Emperor, I would directly bestow upon Miss Lu the title of Heavenly Dao Supreme."

The White Spirit Demon Emperor rolled his eyes at him, feeling that he was not sincere at all.

Lu Lingjun didn't believe it either, but she was still somewhat happy.

“He used to call me senior, now he calls me young lady. If I had insisted on becoming his Daoist partner back then, would he have yielded to my feigned weakness?”

Looking at Gu An, Lu Lingjun thought to herself, though she couldn't quite explain her own feelings. But being able to fight alongside Gu An felt like a dream come true.

Without Gu Anshi, she felt that her life was very bitter and tiring, and she never dared to slack off in order to become stronger.

Only when she was with Gu An could she stop thinking about anything else and completely relax.

Gu An chatted casually with them like that.

The heavenly soldiers and generals walked on the golden light of the heavenly path, all looking straight ahead. The heavenly soldiers around them did not look at Gu An and his companions, assuming that Gu An was just an unfamiliar heavenly soldier.

The heavenly soldiers who knew Lu Lingjun were confused, but this confusion was fleeting, and soon their attention was diverted.

The golden light of the Heavenly Dao continued to advance, while other heavenly soldiers and generals also exchanged words in twos and threes. Having fought to this day, they had cultivated a strong confidence that they were invincible.

They are more excited now because this battle is an offensive initiative, which is of great significance, and they may be able to turn the tide of the battle.

They have the potential to become heroes of Heaven!

Promotion and advancement are by no means unrealistic aspirations.

The chaotic starry sky is constantly changing. They seem to be traveling through a kaleidoscope, bizarre and beautiful, which can easily make people lose their way.

After a long while, the brilliant starry sky in front of them was suddenly swallowed by darkness, and the communication on the golden light of the Heavenly Dao also came to an abrupt end.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor suddenly turned his head to look, and Lu Lingjun's expression also became solemn.

As they entered the darkness, all the heavenly soldiers and generals felt an indescribable oppression that made them very uncomfortable.

Marshal Zhitian, who was at the forefront, did not stop. A black Qilin appeared on each side of him and roared forward. At the same time, a Dharma image appeared on his body, rising like a mountain, guarding the front of the golden light of the Heavenly Dao.

Upon seeing this, the heavenly soldiers and generals drew their divine weapons, preparing for battle.

The faint sound of heavy breathing could be heard from the darkness ahead, making the heavenly soldiers and generals even more vigilant.

Gu An stood beside Lu Lingjun, and looking up, he could already see the enemy.

"Somewhat something is wrong."

The White Spirit Demon Emperor on Lu Lingjun's shoulder muttered to itself, feeling extremely uncomfortable with the atmosphere it had never experienced before. Lu Lingjun didn't reply; she kept her eyes fixed on what lay ahead.

All the gods and immortals grew increasingly tense, gazing into the depths of darkness, awaiting the appearance of the enemy.

Just then, an enormous mummified corpse leaped out of the darkness ahead, its claws outstretched as if to pounce on the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River.

All the immortals and gods were startled; even those who were ten thousand feet tall seemed smaller than dust in front of this mummified corpse.

Its face was so ferocious, and its body was even more terrifying, as if it had suffered unimaginable torment before its death, and its whole body exuded a strong resentment.

Even the Supreme Marshal showed fear on his face when faced with this mummified corpse.

"what is that?"

"A demon? No, he's completely lifeless!"

"It's as if it were the reincarnation of some ancient being after death. Its resentment is so strong that I have never seen such intense resentment before."

"How could such a being exist in the Azure Netherworld?"

"We must not be careless; the cultivators of Cangming may very well be hiding in the shadows!"

The gods and immortals discussed among themselves, using words to dispel their inner fears.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor couldn't help but turn to look at Gu An and ask, "Ancestor, is this guy alive or dead?"

"Dead."

Gu An answered casually, his eyes fixed on the huge mummified corpse blocking his path.

He had noticed this mummified corpse long ago, and that immortals and gods had been devoured by it in the past.

This mummified corpse does not belong to Cangming; it was merely brought here by the Extreme Netherworld Emperor to test the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River.

It was obvious that the Supreme Emperor of the Netherworld had sensed the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

Back then, the battle between the Burial Heaven Emperor Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor had a far-reaching impact, which even the Extreme Netherworld Emperor in the Chaos Realm noticed. This made him realize that his cultivation level was not yet at the point where he could act recklessly.

This is why the battle between Chaos and Heavenly Dao has reached a stalemate, with the Supreme Emperor still probing and unwilling to take the lead.

"Dead? What realm was it in life?" the White Spirit Demon Emperor pressed.

If death is so terrifying, it's hard to imagine what life was like.

"Ultimate Dao Integration Emperor Realm, late stage."

Gu An said softly, and the name of this realm made Lu Lingjun turn her head to look at him.

She had never heard of this realm before.

"Heavenly River First Demon-Slaying Army, heed my command! Form ranks and vanquish the demons!"

Marshal Zhitian's roar came from the front, like a thunderous roar, instantly interrupting Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor's attention.

The surrounding celestial soldiers took flight and began to form ranks. Lu Lingjun had no choice but to follow, while Gu An stayed by her side. He was already familiar with the upcoming formation and could blend in perfectly.

The unknown and eerie giant mummified corpse stood blocking their way, neither attacking nor retreating. If it weren't for its real malevolent aura and its undulating body, the immortals and gods would have truly believed they were witnessing an illusion.

"What realm is the Supreme Dao Emperor? Is it above the Great Luo Dao Fruit?"

The White Spirit Demon Emperor turned to look at Gu An and asked curiously.

As Gu An ascended, he laughed and said, "That's right, it's above the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and there are two major realms in between."

Upon hearing this, the White Spirit Demon Emperor's snake eyes widened, and Lu Lingjun trembled all over.
