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

Chapter 1030 Utter Evil
[You have successfully seized 366,309,808,774,223,115 years of Qin Chuang's (Dao Ji Da Luo Immortal Realm Perfection) lifespan.]

[You have successfully seized 71,777,098,628,741 years of lifespan from the Canglan Daoist Monk (Perfected in the Great Luo Immortal Realm of Wonderful Truth)]

[You have successfully seized 2,807,889,000,641 years of lifespan from Xuanpeng Demon Lord (mid-stage of the Myriad True Great Luo Immortal Realm).]

……

Gu An kept swinging his sword. With each life he slew, he could take in the entirety of the other's life. In just a moment, he could witness trillions of years of life.

The reading ability of a sage is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Gradually, Gu An's mood also became less enthusiastic.

The beings summoned by the Azure Emperor of the Netherworld are all real. In the eyes of the Azure Emperor of the Netherworld, they are merely a part of the fighting force within the Great Dao Divine Power, and the Azure Emperor of the Netherworld does not care about their lives or deaths at all.

Those who cultivate the Tao dedicate their entire lives to its practice, only to be fooled in this way.

Even though they were enemies, Gu An felt sorry for them. They died without knowing who they were fighting for, thinking they were fighting for the Great Dao.

Cangming is not as righteous as they claim. He has annihilated countless lineages in the chaos, even more than the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao did not intend to devour the Chaos as they claimed. If it did, the Heavenly Emperor would have done so long ago. The Heavenly Emperor pursued a different path to strength, one that the Extreme Netherworld Emperor could not comprehend.

It is understandable that the two sides have different positions and regard each other as evil, but whether their own doctrines are good or evil can be judged from the perspective of karma and merit.

Gu An's sympathy wasn't for the lives he killed; his pity lay in the gap in social standing, and his sorrow for the inability to distinguish truth from falsehood, for so many lives that died without ever witnessing the true nature of their world.

During the massacre, Gu An was also pondering a question.

After surpassing the saints, what will he do?
Although Gu An was thinking, he did not stop. The current killing was to prevent more killing.

Today, he is determined to kill Cang Ming until he has no courage left.

Although Gu An did not use any supernatural powers, his presence always captivated the hearts of the immortals and gods, and gave them even greater courage.

The only one who was frustrated was Jue Nian Tian Zun. The more assertive Gu An appeared, the more anxious Ji Ming Cang Di became, which increased the pressure on Jue Nian Tian Zun, who was trying to restrain him.

After killing for an unknown period of time, the prompt in front of Gu An changed.

[Your lifespan has surpassed ten quadrillion years for the first time, unlocking the lifespan transition function.]

[Lifespan Transformation: You can consume a certain amount of lifespan to resurrect any living being you have slain. You can determine their cultivation level, and the lifespan consumed depends on their cultivation level. Living beings who undergo this transformation will be connected to your destiny and benefit from your good fortune. They will be unable to kill you, and a portion of their increased lifespan from each breakthrough will be integrated into your body.]

New feature!
what is this?
Taking out a loan to cultivate immortality?

First borrow their lives to attain enlightenment, and then return them to them after you have attained enlightenment?

Many thoughts flashed through Gu An's mind. The lifespan transfer would allow him to add more ways to extend his lifespan. He would not resurrect all the creatures he had killed, but only select a portion.

He was puzzled by the existence of lifespan evolution, because everything that exists follows certain rules, just like the principles of every person.

What kind of existence does lifespan evolution ultimately want him to become?
This great battle took place deep within the chaos, beneath the Great Dao. However, as the battle intensified, strange phenomena began to appear in various realms of the chaos.

To truly perceive the existence of this battle, one must reach the ultimate realm of the Dao-Merging Emperor.

For example, the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor, seated in the Lingxiao Palace, was observing the battle. He was neither delighted by Cangming's setback nor pleased by the strength of the Merit-Suppressing Heavenly Lord.

He is now filled with unease.

As the Heavenly Emperor, no one understands the Heavenly Way and destiny better than him.

Although Gu An accepted the destiny of Heaven, the Heavenly Emperor felt that he could not control him.

A deity who is not controlled by the Heavenly Dao and possesses the power to destroy a great lineage—such an existence truly unsettled him.

The Heavenly Emperor still had many questions in his mind.

Where did Gu An come from? He is now certain that the past Gu Xuanyou and the future Ji are both incarnations of Gu An.

In the cycle of reincarnation, there are very few beings who can fight him to a draw, let alone defeat him.

Within the Heavenly Dao, no one at the same realm can defeat his reincarnated body.

His curiosity and appreciation for the ancient, mysterious, and extreme have now been replaced by fear.

When the primordial chaos still existed, the Heavenly Emperor had already been born. In fact, the Heavenly Emperor had already witnessed a power stronger than that of the Supreme Dao Emperor, which is why he pursued the Sage.

He knew of the sages, but could not find them, so he deliberately left behind information about the sages so that future geniuses could pursue them and give him a glimmer of hope for enlightenment.

"Could he be a saint?"

An absurd idea popped into the Heavenly Emperor's mind, startling him.

In fact, he had been investigating the reason for the saint's disappearance.

He traversed the chaos, but could never find the trace of the sage.

"What is your connection to the destruction of Hongmeng?"

The Heavenly Emperor's gaze deepened. Although he was wary of Gu An, he was not flustered, because Gu An's whereabouts and actions did not seem to indicate that he wanted to be his enemy.

Judging from Gu An's actions in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, Gu An is very much in line with the Heavenly Dao person he wants.

If Gu An is truly a sage, why would a sage remain hidden within his own Heavenly Dao?

Too many confusions swirled in the Heavenly Emperor's heart, like a fog that prevented him from seeing clearly.

After a while.

The Heavenly Emperor suddenly frowned, and his posture even leaned forward.

He saw Gu An capture the Extreme Netherworld Emperor, holding him up with one hand on the tip of a branch of the Azure Netherworld Creation Tree.

The Azure Emperor of the Netherworld struggled fiercely, even mobilizing the entire fortune of the Netherworld in an attempt to resist Gu An.

During this process, the Heavenly Emperor sensed a chilling sense of cause and effect in the Supreme Dark Emperor.

"What was that...? It feels like I've felt it somewhere before..."

The Heavenly Emperor tensed up, and past memories surfaced before his eyes.

He recalled his journey to Hongmeng and the sight of its ruins.

At that time, he also sensed this cause and effect within the primordial chaos, but his level of understanding was too low to see through it.

Looking back on the situation now, he feels that everything was eerie.

What exactly happened to HarmonyOS?
The Heavenly Emperor sensed a greater conspiracy shrouding the chaos.

He stared intently at the figure of the Supreme Emperor of the Netherworld. His cultivation at the peak of the Supreme Dao Venerable Emperor Realm caused him to exude immense heavenly might, making the entire heavenly realm appear as a distorted red glow.

Sudden.

The mysterious causal forces surrounding the Supreme Emperor of the Netherworld erupted with black light, impacting the Heavenly Emperor's vision.

In an instant, the Heavenly Emperor saw a darkness, in which stood three figures. Their figures were different, and their races could not be determined. Their figures were so oppressive and so terrifying.

They seemed to be the embodiment of utter evil, and just their presence alone instilled a strong sense of crisis in the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor had never felt this way before; he felt that his cultivation at the pinnacle of the Dao-Merging Emperor Realm was so weak.
