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

Chapter 499 Sword against sword, a swordsmanship contest that transcends time

[You have successfully seized the lifespan of 2,809,837,622 years from the Karmic Heavenly Secret (late stage of the Profound Origin Free Immortal Realm).]

Seeing the prompt in front of him, Gu An's mood improved, and he looked up.

The powerful figures from the War Court kept their distance, staring incredulously at the giant hall.

Ye Tianji's sudden disappearance from Gu An's hands felt unreal to them. In their minds, Ye Tianji was so powerful, how could he have died so easily?
The warriors of the War Court only awoke when the giant hand above the Heavenly Spirit Realm suddenly vanished.

"Oh no! My lord has fallen!"

"How is that possible? Who is he?"

"And those divine messengers too..."

"No! Run away!"

"Impossible...absolutely impossible..."

The battle court was immediately thrown into chaos, and many powerful figures fled.

Gu An slightly shifted his right foot, and in an instant, one after another, the powerful warriors of the Battle Court exploded, turning into blood mist that spread in the void.

Since it's a rare opportunity, why not try to gain more lifespan?
However, he would not kill all the beings of the War Court, as that would make him seem like a mortal enemy. He wanted to maintain the image of acting on behalf of all living beings in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

A random batch of War Court beings will be annihilated; those who unfortunately die are simply destined to perish!

A series of prompts appeared before Gu An's eyes, making him even happier.

How could one not be happy to both protect the common people and profit oneself?
Emperor Yangxian and the Holy Minister remained in place, feeling both surprised and confused at the sight of the Battle Court, which had filled them with despair, being so easily defeated by the Sword Venerable Fudao.

Thinking about their past ambitions and schemes, they suddenly realized how ridiculous they had been.

At the same time, they admired the Sword Master Fudao even more. With such strength, he could communicate with them in a gentle manner. How powerful was this attitude of showing goodwill to the weak!

Soon, the void fell silent once more.

Gu An sensed many powerful divine senses sweeping over him, but they all quickly withdrew. This battle had ultimately alarmed the powerful beings deep within the universe, but no one dared to provoke Gu An. They even regretted being too curious and were afraid of being targeted by Gu An.

Gu An did not communicate with Yang Xiandi and the other two. He took flight, put the nine suns into his palm, and then headed into the depths of the universe.

The beings of the Heavenly Spirit Realm returned to daylight, the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the world disappeared, and they began to communicate and discuss what had happened.

Even though they didn't know what had happened, they felt as if they had escaped a disaster.

Long Qing was still kneeling on the ground, his hands covering his head. He was breathing heavily and looked extremely painful. Finally, people noticed his condition and gathered around, even An Xin was attracted by his presence.

After watching the Sword Master Fudao disappear into the depths of the universe, the Holy Minister came to Emperor Yangxian's side and frowned, asking, "Has he left?"

Emperor Yangxian glanced at him and asked, "What makes you say that?"

"It's widely rumored in the Tai Xuan Sect that the Sword Master Fudao is leaving them. The Sword Master Fudao hasn't returned for over a hundred years. This time..." The Holy Minister hesitated. He had also planted spies in the Tai Xuan Sect and was well-informed about all the major and minor events within the sect.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yangxian frowned.

From Gu An's perspective, he also felt that Gu An might get annoyed.

As far as he knew, Gu An was indeed a reclusive great cultivator who had no ulterior motives.

The thought that such a powerful being would leave the Heavenly Spirit World made him feel uneasy.

Could the strange phenomena of reincarnation from the previous two days represent an even more terrifying calamity?

Emperor Yangxian and the Holy Minister both fell silent, and the massive War Court Palace was completely plunged into darkness, losing all its light.

In the darkness, the Holy Minister said softly, "Whether he leaves or not, his achievements today must be known to all living beings. The so-called Heavenly Dao has never helped us; only he has borne the consequences."

Even the Yang Immortal Emperor, who inherited the power of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, had no good feelings towards the so-called Heavenly Dao. He replied, "That's what I think too. Even if he never comes back, even if we eventually meet our end, at least while we are alive, we should be grateful to him."

……

Within the dark void, Gu An strode forward, toying with nine golden beads in his hand. These were the nine suns from before, each containing immense power of the Great Dao. He was cleansing them of their karmic ties.

His journey into the depths of the universe was not intended to mislead Emperor Yang and his companion, but rather for other reasons.

He stopped and said, "You've been watching for so long, shouldn't you show yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver-blue sword aura appeared in the thick fog of the road ahead, and the sword aura quickly transformed into a human figure.

This is a man dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with white hair and a crown on his head like a sword sheath. He is backed by darkness, exuding an ancient and weathered aura. His eyes are incredibly sharp. He stands there like an eternal divine sword, eternally indestructible.

[Sword God (Early Stage of Luo Tian Free Immortal Realm): 0/0/0]

Ok?
Age, current lifespan, and maximum lifespan are all zero.

They are either clones with flesh and blood, or they are not living beings, but rather beings like gods and ghosts who have lost their lifespan and freedom and rely on some powerful force to gain immortality.

Gu An stared at the Sword God, feeling a mix of emotions.

This swordsman is none other than Yang Ping'an, Yang Xian's disciple.

Compared to Yang Ping'an in the reincarnation memories, this sword god is weathered and exudes an aura of decline, but the sword intent in his eyes is stronger than that in Gu An's memories.

In a sense, Yang Ping'an has surpassed Yang Xian, because when Yang Xian died, he was only a Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Xian.

The 300,000-year-old Xuan Yuan Zizai Immortal—thinking about it now, Yang Xian's talent is terrifyingly terrifying, especially considering he didn't rely on lifespan to evolve.

Putting aside the Heavenly Spirit God, Sword God Yang Ping'an was the first Luo Tian Zizai Immortal that Gu An encountered!

Gu An had sensed Yang Ping'an's sword energy earlier, but it was fleeting.

Seeing his former disciple again, Gu An felt somewhat conflicted.

The Sword God raised his right hand, using his fingers as a sword, sword energy overflowing from his fingertips. He stared at Gu An and said, "Your swordsmanship is very strong; you are the kind of opponent I've been looking for."

Gu An maintained his Heavenly Nether Purple Star Saintly Body, so the Sword God couldn't see his expression. He only heard Gu An ask in confusion, "Opponent?"

"I travel the world seeking sword masters, all to achieve the strongest swordsmanship, and you are qualified to be my opponent."

The Sword God's tone was devoid of emotion, but as his words fell, a vast sword intent enveloped the void.

Gu An clearly sensed that the Heavenly Spirit God, far below the boundary gate, had opened his eyes and was staring at them.

The commotion caused by the Battle Court had previously failed to attract the Heavenly Spirit God, but the Sword God's sword intent had alarmed the Heavenly Spirit God, which was enough to prove the Sword God's power.

What domineering sword intent!

Gu An raised his right hand, and the Heavenly Destiny Sword, which Li Ya had given him, appeared in his hand.

This sword, which would be considered a divine weapon in the mortal realm, is not as hard as a meteorite here. However, as Gu An's sword energy covers the blade, this sword from the mortal realm becomes the sharpest sword in the universe.

The Sword God's expression changed slightly. For some reason, he felt a sense of déjà vu from Gu An.

He lowered his right hand, the sword energy pointing downwards, as if he were holding a sword.

The void was dark, and thick fog surged along the Great Road. The confrontation between the two caused the space to fluctuate.

"Let me see how strong you are after enduring the long years."

Gu An thought to himself, Yang Xian's only wish before his death was to spar with his disciple and help him improve his swordsmanship. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Spirit God did not give him the opportunity.

"You remind me of an old friend, and I will not show any mercy," the Sword God said, his sword intent suddenly erupting.

The thick fog surrounding the avenue vanished instantly; absolute darkness threatened to engulf them, but it could not devour their sword light.

Sword against sword, this is a swordsmanship contest that transcends time!
