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

Chapter 455 The Limits of Heaven and Earth's Lifespan

Gu An had an impression of the Heavenly Demon Emperor because of Ji Xiaoyu.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor has a grudge against Ji Xiaoyu, and Ji Xiaoyu's true form has already lost to him several times.

When the Heavenly Demon Emperor descended upon the area surrounding the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Gu An had already predicted the future and knew what would happen next.

If he doesn't take action, the Heavenly Demon Emperor will bring a devastating disaster to the Heavenly Spirit World.

If he were to make a move, more calamities would arise in the future, and it might even hasten the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit World.

The fate of the Heavenly Spirit Great Heaven and Earth is determined by the fortune of Heaven and Earth, that is, by the Way of Heaven.

The Way of Heaven influences the will of all living beings, making them warlike and creating an atmosphere that intensifies conflict. Unless Gu An can manipulate the will of all living beings, he can truly save the beings of the Heavenly Spirit Great World. However, if he does so, the beings will be like puppets, which is worse than death.

Moreover, Heaven destroys the beings of this era, rather than leaving the entire Heavenly Spirit World devoid of life.

Over the years, Gu An's deductive abilities have steadily improved. He can even predict the outcome of his own actions. Of course, he cannot predict the outcomes of beings with higher levels of understanding than himself.

"Demon God? What Demon God? Is he your opponent, Master?" Tianbai asked subconsciously upon hearing Gu An's words.

The secluded paradise was still trembling. Even though it was isolated by the power of heaven and earth, the commotion in the human world outside was naturally even greater.

Gu An replied, "I have the ability to protect myself, but I cannot protect the world. There is an unseen and intangible force manipulating everything. Cultivating immortality is to get rid of this force."

After hearing this, the three demons all fell into deep thought.

Tian Yao'er asked cautiously, "Can I still go out and break through?"

Gu An smiled and said, "Of course, I'll take you there in a few days."

The worry on Tian Yao'er's face vanished, replaced by excitement. She was eagerly anticipating her breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.

Tianqing and Tianbai are also looking forward to the Nirvana Realm, but their talents are not as good as Tianyao'er's, and they will have to wait several hundred years to break through.

……

Rumbling--

The earth shook and panic gripped even the Tai Xuan Sect.

Ji Xiaoyu stepped out of the house and looked up at the sky. Rolling black smoke fell from the top of the sky, sweeping across the entire sky, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere, as if the demon realm had descended.

She sensed a presence and frowned.

The Sun, Moon, and Underworld Emperor appeared beside her, his expression grave, and said, "He has arrived."

He didn't need to say his name for Ji Xiaoyu to know who he was.

Inside the Medicine Valley, everyone was discussing the strange phenomenon in the sky. The disciples who were meditating inside came out one after another, and the chess players who were playing chess in the dojo lost their interest in playing. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord changed the game and then frowned as he looked at the sky.

The vast black energy surged and churned endlessly, like an inverted ocean suspended in the sky, shocking the world.

A dragon's roar resounded, high-pitched and incessant. Before the creatures could even see the dragon's shadow, other roars and hisses followed.

Beyond the heavens, a colossal divine beast is fighting for the Heavenly Spirit Great World for seven days, with the Holy Court and the Immortal Dynasty providing support in a grand and imposing manner.

Above the Heavenly Spirit Realm, one after another, enormous black vortexes appeared, from which a continuous stream of Heavenly Demons flew out.

Further away, an incomparably majestic and terrifying figure strode through the air, surrounded by waves of fire, like a dragon coiled around its body, each step shaking the very fabric of the universe.

He was like the most ancient demon god at the beginning of the universe, exuding an endless and boundless aura. The tremors beneath his feet were visible to the naked eye, as if the Great Dao itself was being shaken.

His appearance immediately evoked images of destruction, which was extremely terrifying.

Whether they were cultivators from the Holy Court or immortal spirits from the Immortal Dynasty, everyone instinctively felt fear upon seeing him.

He is none other than the Xuanhuang Demon God!
A figure stood on his shoulder, but appeared smaller than a speck of dust; it was none other than the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor crossed his arms and looked at the Heavenly Spirit World with a mocking expression.

A golden light shot out from the Heavenly Spirit Realm. When it stopped, a figure appeared, which was none other than Emperor Yang. A golden wheel floated behind him, radiating a dazzling golden light that was even more radiant than the sun.

Emperor Yangxian gazed at the distant Xuanhuang Demon God, his eyes filled with apprehension.

He felt immense pressure.

The Holy Image of the Free Immortal also appeared, standing in the Holy Court's camp. He was rapidly calculating, and the more he calculated, the uglier his expression became.

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time. Why is Sheng Tian nowhere to be seen?"

The voice of the Heavenly Demon Emperor resounded through the void and reached the ears of the great cultivators of the Holy Court and the Immortal Dynasty. Both the Free Immortal and the Divine Sense True Immortal changed their expressions drastically. Clearly, they all recognized the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

“The Heavenly Demon Emperor…” a holy god gritted his teeth, his face extremely ugly.

boom!
Another tremendous roar resounded, deafeningly loud, startling the Holy Court cultivators and the immortal spirits of the Immortal Dynasty, who turned to look.

Within the magnificent and boundless Heavenly Spirit Realm, a continent experienced a massive explosion, the sea of ​​clouds was dispersed, and terrifying demonic energy surged outwards like a spring.

One of the immortal spirits of the Immortal Dynasty turned ferocious and cursed through gritted teeth, "The Heavenly Demon Sect! I told you long ago that we should have joined forces with the Holy Court to wipe them out!" With the Xuanhuang Demon God and the Heavenly Demon Emperor approaching from the outside, and the Heavenly Demon Sect taking the opportunity to wreak havoc on the common people from within, both the Holy Court and the Immortal Dynasty felt immense pressure at this moment.

Emperor Yangxian's expression also turned cold, and he looked at the Holy Minister.

The Holy Minister also looked at him, their eyes met, and then they both looked at the Xuanhuang Demon God.

……

Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley. As he walked at the entrance of the valley, he looked up and saw that it was already dusk. Dark clouds surged and crimson clouds filled the sky. Countless meteorites, carrying waves of fire, crashed into the distance, a scene both poignant and magnificent.

The Tai Xuan Sect has activated its protective array, and a Heaven and Earth Array has also been erected on the edge of the Taicang Continent. This array was purchased from overseas by the Taicang Dynasty and took two hundred years to complete. The Heaven and Earth Array can protect the entire Taicang Continent. Because of this action, Li Xuandao has won the hearts of the people.

As soon as Gu An entered the Medicine Valley, he was surrounded by many disciples.

"Master, what's going on?"

"Won't the conflicts between those major sects spill over into our Taicang Continent?"

"Foolish! This commotion is clearly coming from beyond the heavens; it must be an attack by celestial demons."

"Such an unusual phenomenon has not occurred in the past few hundred years. This time, the Tai Xuan Sect will probably be affected."

"Master, your cultivation is profound, please tell me!"

Faced with his disciples' questions, Gu An replied, "It is indeed a great calamity of heaven and earth. The previous ones were just minor skirmishes. This is the real calamity, but it should not threaten the Tai Xuan Sect in the short term. What you need to do is continue your cultivation. It is futile to marvel here."

Upon hearing his words, the disciples all felt embarrassed and dispersed.

Gu An continued forward. At this moment, Jue Luo Sword Lord came to his side and asked, "Senior, do you know the origin of the demon gods from beyond the heavens?"

Gu An stopped and looked at him, asking, "You know? Then tell me."

Jue Luo Sword Lord took a deep breath and said, "That is the Xuanhuang Demon God. It is said that long ago, all the great worlds in the entire universe belonged to the same great world. At that time, there were countless powerful beings and treasures. There was a race called the Demon God Race. They only needed to reach adulthood to have the ability to destroy the world. The Xuanhuang Demon God was a famous existence among the Demon God Race. He was also one of the few Demon Gods whose corpse was intact. As far as I know, he was obtained by a forbidden existence in the Extinction Domain. In other words, there is an even stronger existence behind the Heavenly Demon Emperor."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu An, but did not see any change in Gu An's expression.

really!

This senior knows everything!

The worries in Jue Luo Sword Lord's heart dissipated. He was not afraid when he saw the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but he was somewhat afraid after seeing through the identity of the Xuanhuang Demon God.

No matter how arrogant he is, he would never think that he is invincible.

Gu An sighed, "The world is facing a calamity. Some want to fulfill their mission, while others want to take advantage of the situation. Tell me, when will this cycle end?"

Upon hearing this, Jue Luo Sword Master was stunned and pondered Gu An's meaning carefully.

Gu An was lamenting the ways of Heaven.

Humans have a limited lifespan, and it seems that so does the universe.

He has already seen millions of ways in which the Heavenly Spirit Realm will be destroyed, and the number of such outcomes is rapidly increasing.

Jue Luo Sword Lord hadn't considered the Heavenly Dao; he thought Gu An was dissatisfied with the existence behind the Xuanhuang Demon God.

"There is more chess than chess, and every player is also a chess piece. If you want to improve your swordsmanship, you must walk your own path and not rely on any other way."

After saying these words, Gu An continued walking towards his attic.

Jue Luo Sword Lord frowned deeply. How difficult it was to forge one's own path! Not everyone can be a Sword Dao Saint Ancestor. The Sacred Heart Sword Dao was indeed his own path. He had been to the River of Sword Dao. The Sacred Heart Sword Dao was eternal and indestructible within the River of Sword Dao, existing alongside the Great Dao.

Despite his constant claims of surpassing the Sacred Heart Sword Dao, he knows in his heart that he is far from achieving it. He merely wants to use the Sacred Heart Sword Dao to break free from the shackles on his path of cultivation.

He looked at Gu An's back, a look of curiosity in his eyes.

The celestial realm is about to turn to dust. What will this being, who transcends even the immortals, do?
Should we offer protection, or stay away from trouble?
He turned to look at the disciples in the valley. He had a feeling that Gu An would not give up all of this.

This is also what he observed during his many years in the Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An walked downstairs and saw Ji Xiaoyu and the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor still watching the battle. He raised his hand to greet them.

Ji Xiaoyu looked at Gu An and said, "It seems my life should come to an end."

Gu An stopped and asked in surprise, "Why? You're not from the Heavenly Spirit Realm, you shouldn't have that much of a sense of responsibility, right?"

Ji Xiaoyu replied, "The Heavenly Demon Emperor is my true self's nemesis. When he appears, the power of the innate Dao talisman also begins to stir. My true self is eager to fight him."

The Sun and Moon Emperor stood aside without saying a word. He had long hoped that Ji Xiaoyu would end this life, but the distinction between superiors and inferiors prevented him from acting recklessly.

Gu An narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you still have any regrets or wishes?"

Ji Xiaoyu's eyes held no sadness, only calmness. She looked at Gu An and asked, "Is there any difference between my life in this one and my life in the last one for you?"
