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

Chapter 552 Gu An vs. Tian Ling Shen!

Upon hearing the words of the Celestial Venerable, the Immortal Seeker's expression turned ugly, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Why did you choose to be born at this time?

The Immortal Seeker looked up at the figure of the Heavenly Spirit Immortal and asked a question. He suppressed his anger, knowing that now was not the time to argue or scheme.

The Celestial Venerable Tianling did not answer, but turned his head to look at the Celestial Heaven and Earth, his eyes filled with profound meaning.

at the same time.

A bright light appeared from the depths of the universe; it was the figure of the Heavenly Spirit God. He held the Heavenly Dao Divine Axe and trod on the rules of the Great Dao. With each step he took, ripples spread through the universe.

Under his footsteps, the universe seemed like an illusion, as if it could disappear at any moment.

Celestial Venerable Tianling turned around, his gaze refocusing on Celestial God Tianling. He raised his right hand, palm facing up, and streaks of golden flame appeared out of thin air, quickly condensing into a large cauldron that continued to grow larger, soon surpassing his own size.

Above the cauldron is a vortex, adorned with stars, exquisitely beautiful, and like the most mysterious secret realm, full of allure.

As soon as this cauldron appeared, all living beings felt their strength drained away. Countless people collapsed to the ground, while those cultivators and demons that were flying fell into the ocean and mountains.

The vast天地 (heaven and earth) fell silent.

Inside the palace.

Jiang Qiong lay helplessly on the steps, looking up at the gate with despair on her face.

She felt her magical power and strength being drained away in an instant, and even her divine sense disappeared. This was the cultivation she had gained over nearly ten thousand years, how could this be?

She couldn't imagine what she was going through, or what kind of person was behind it all.

Sudden.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a pair of feet beside her. Her pupils dilated suddenly. Just as she was about to look up, a hand grabbed her forearm, and a continuous stream of magical power flowed into her body, quickly replenishing her strength.

Sensing this magical power, Jiang Qiong lowered her guard instantly, even though she couldn't see the other party.

She looked up and a smile appeared on her face.

"It really is you," Jiang Qiong said softly, her expression somewhat dazed.

Gu An helped her up and asked with a smile, "Do you know why your magic power disappeared?"

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Qiong leaned against him and asked, "Why?"

"Because the magical power you cultivate and you yourself are creations of heaven and earth, it would be as easy for heaven and earth to take everything away from you." Gu An felt her body and smiled helplessly.

What kind of time is this to be doing, and this guy is still pulling tricks!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong frowned. She straightened up and asked, "Heaven and Earth? Is Heaven and Earth punishing us now? What have we done wrong?"

“That’s right, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that the world is not what you think it is. It is actually a person, or rather, a cultivator. Its emotions cannot be controlled by you, who were created by it.”

Gu An's answer shocked Jiang Qiong, her beautiful eyes widened, and she hesitated to speak.

Because these words were spoken by Gu An, she believed them.

Because of this belief, her understanding was overturned, and she felt that the world was absurd.

Just as Gu An was explaining the truth of heaven and earth to Jiang Qiong, the Heavenly Spirit God had already arrived before the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable, and the Heavenly Spirit God had become no smaller than the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable.

Under the influence of these two supreme beings, the Heavenly Spirit Great World was like a stepping stone, losing its magnificent grandeur.

Holding the Heavenly Dao Divine Axe, the Heavenly Spirit God still radiated the intense light of the Heavenly Dao, dazzling to the extreme. He looked at the large cauldron in the hands of the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable and said, "The Purple Qi Creation Cauldron, it has been wronged following you. Today, I hope you can let it show its true power."

Celestial Venerable Tianling stared at Celestial God and said, "You've become stronger."

The Heavenly Spirit God raised the Heavenly Dao Divine Axe, pointed it at him, and said, "After I kill you and destroy your Great Thousand World, I will shed the name of Heavenly Spirit and ascend to a higher level of immortal god."

"Hmph, if you hadn't ambushed me back then, the outcome would have been very different!"

As the Celestial Venerable Tianling finished speaking, the Purple Qi Creation Cauldron burst forth with a vast sea of ​​energy, and the silver star sea suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire universe.

The aura of the Celestial Venerable continued to rise as he absorbed the power of all things in the universe, including the power of the great heavens and earth.

The Heavenly Spirit God still did not make a move.

The soul of the Immortal Seeker drifted in the distance, his gaze fixed intently on the Heavenly Spirit God.

He could tell that the Heavenly Spirit God held the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable in utter contempt.

"Could he have reached an even higher realm?" The Immortal Seeker frowned, thinking uneasily.

Not only him, but even the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable felt the contempt of the Celestial Spirit God.

At this moment, within the body of the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable, in a dark space, An Hao and the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable stood side by side, looking ahead together. A hundred feet away, a light screen floated, displaying the figure of the Celestial Spirit God.

Looking at the unmoving Heavenly Spirit God, the disheveled An Hao felt uneasy.

He turned to look at Celestial Venerable Tianling and asked, "Are you confident?"

The Celestial Venerable was dressed in a white robe and looked very much like An Hao, except that his face was more weathered.

“I can only do my best, and I have no other choice, do I?” Tianling Immortal Venerable replied, a response that made An Hao’s face turn ugly.

Celestial Venerable Tianling turned to look at An Hao, smiled, and said, "Don't worry too much. With my abilities, even if I am no match for him, helping you escape is by no means difficult."

An Hao was not pleased. He asked, "Why...why are you treating me like this?"

He had a guess in his mind, but dared not ask it aloud.

"You guessed right, but it's different. You are indeed my child, but not in the way you understand procreation. You were conceived by my own Dao, and I chose where you were born. As long as you are within my Great Thousand World, I can even keep you alive forever. I have always been watching over you," the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable continued.

An Hao was not shocked. In the thousands of years he had been comprehending the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, he had long felt that his destiny was extraordinary, so he could feel his own mission.

He stared at the Celestial Venerable and asked, "Is the change of eras your choice, or the choice of Heaven?"

If there is no change of era and the weakening of the Heavenly Dao Light Layer, how would the Heavenly Spirit God dare to take action?

In his process of comprehending the Dao of Heaven, he could feel the suppression of the so-called immortals and gods by the Dao of Heaven.

“That’s right, it was my own choice,” Celestial Venerable Tianling replied, his gaze fixed on Celestial God in the light screen.

An Hao immediately became anxious and asked, "Why? You know I need time to grow. If you give me time, I will definitely help you destroy the Heavenly Spirit God and help you revive!"

He has absolute confidence in his talent.

The Celestial Venerable Tianling turned to look at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and said, “Child, you are indeed my most perfect creation. You are more worthy of my pride than the entire Great Thousand World. But it’s not that I’m not giving you time, but because there are beings in the world that are even more terrifying than the Celestial Venerable Tianling.”

"What exists?" An Hao asked, frowning.

There are countless powerful figures currently wreaking havoc on the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and many names flashed through his mind.

Just then, in reality, the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable raised his right hand, and the Purple Qi Creation Cauldron soared away, then spun, its mouth facing the Heavenly Spirit God.

boom--

A tremendous force that shook the entire universe surged out of the cave entrance, and a vast, silvery-blue sea of ​​energy burst forth from it, its momentum magnificent and unstoppable, illuminating the sky of the Heavenly Spirit World.

Countless creatures lying on the ground looked up and saw the sky disappear. They saw a giant silver-blue river with countless stars shining in it, and the eyes of all living beings were filled with silver-blue light.

They saw the figures of the Heavenly Spirit God and the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable, like two primordial gods, making all living beings feel their own insignificance. Even beings at the Immortal Realm felt only boundless awe at this moment.

The divine power of the Purple Qi Creation Cauldron fell on the Heavenly Spirit God, but was blocked by a layer of white light.

This silver river was so domineering that it could destroy everything, tearing dark areas into the space along its path. Yet, such a powerful force could not shake the figure of the Heavenly Spirit God.

Is this the best you can do?

The voice of the Heavenly Spirit God rang out, tinged with disappointment.

Inside the dark space, An Hao witnessed this scene, his brows furrowed.

"As for what kind of being it is, I cannot tell you. Our current opponent is him, the Heavenly Spirit God, a true immortal god."

The Celestial Venerable Tianling gazed ahead and spoke, his expression returning to its indifferent state. As soon as he finished speaking, the Purple Qi Creation Cauldron trembled, and countless silver figures surged forth from the silver river. They swiftly attacked the Celestial God, and in the blink of an eye, the number of silver figures reached an astonishing level. They rapidly surrounded the Celestial God, the difference in size between the two sides being immense, like dust surrounding Mount Tai, yet there was enough dust to completely encircle Mount Tai.

boom--

A terrifying axe-like aura erupted, scattering countless silver figures. The axe-like aura severed the silver river and struck the Purple Qi Creation Cauldron, sending the powerful Purple Qi Creation Cauldron flying.

The Purple Qi Creation Cauldron disappeared into the depths of the universe, and everything returned to silence.

With a single move, the Heavenly Spirit God shattered the Heavenly Spirit Immortal's divine power and even knocked away his most precious treasure.

The Heavenly Spirit God maintained his axe-wielding posture, slightly twisting his right arm before swinging the axe again.

Immediately, the Celestial Venerable of Heavenly Spirits raised his palm to defend, unleashing a powerful magical force containing the power of thousands of heavens and earths, attempting to contend with the Celestial Spirit God.

boom--

A deafening roar resounded in everyone's ears, and they vaguely heard a sound like crystal shattering.

Faced with the attack of the Heavenly Spirit God, the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable's magical power was simply unable to withstand it and was directly shattered. His physical body was covered with dense wounds, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

"A Golden Immortal of the Heavenly Realm!"

The Immortal Seeker, suspended in the void, had an extremely grim expression on his face. He managed to utter four words with difficulty.

The severely injured Celestial Venerable frowned, his gaze towards Celestial God filled with complex emotions.

In the dark space, Celestial Venerable Tianling took a deep breath.

An Hao was on edge; he hadn't expected the difference between the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable and the Heavenly Spirit God to be so vast.

“You…” An Hao asked cautiously.

He didn't know how to show his concern, because there was nothing he could do right now.

"It seems I cannot stop him. I will send you away. Once the Heavenly Spirit World is destroyed, you and I will have no further connection. Live well and witness the vastness of the world for me."

Celestial Venerable Tianling took a deep breath and said softly.

Upon hearing this, An Hao immediately became anxious. Just as he was about to speak, the voice of the Heavenly Spirit God resounded throughout the dark space.

"Hmph? Trying to escape? Do you really think things are the same as they were back then?"

Before the words had even finished, the Heavenly Spirit God within the light screen swung his axe again. This axe not only struck the imposing body of the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable, but also shattered the light screen and the dark space, letting in a burst of intense light that enveloped An Hao and the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable.

An Hao was horrified to find himself suppressed by an incredibly powerful force, unable to move at all. He could only glance at the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable.

However, what made him even more desperate was that the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable's face showed a look of panic.

"What realm are you in?" Celestial Venerable Tianling asked through gritted teeth, as he too was unable to move.

He knew that the Heavenly Spirit God was very strong, but he did not expect the gap to be so large.

He was powerless to resist the Heavenly Spirit God.

In the intense light, the Heavenly Spirit God, just as before, stepped forward step by step, seemingly symbolizing the unstoppable divine power of destruction.

"Celestial Immortal, Mid-Stage!"

The voice of the Heavenly Spirit God resounded throughout this crumbling space, causing the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable to lose his senses.

Even after creating the Heavenly Spirit Great World, the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable only barely reached the Innate Golden Immortal realm. The Hengtian Golden Immortal realm was incredibly distant for him, almost a luxury.

However, the Heavenly Spirit God reached, and even surpassed, the initial stage.

In a daze, Celestial Venerable Tianling recalled how his master had taken him to the Celestial Palace and where he had met Celestial God. At that time, Celestial God was just his junior. The reason he was able to appear in the Celestial Palace was because the Lord of the Celestial Palace had taken a liking to Celestial God's talent.

The Celestial Spirit Venerable, who rose from the mortal realm to become the Free and Unfettered Immortal of the Heavenly Realm, did not care about this. In his view, no matter how strong the Celestial Spirit God's talent was, it would never surpass his.

In the end, he died at the hands of the Heavenly Spirit God.

Now, the Heavenly Spirit God far surpasses him.

Throughout the long years since his death, the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable could sense the presence of the Celestial Spirit God, who never left.

In other words, the Heavenly Spirit God achieved the status of a Golden Immortal of the Heavenly Realm through his own meditation and enlightenment.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable's pride was completely shattered, and he lost all his spirit.

"Senior...senior..."

A faint voice reached the ears of the Celestial Venerable, but it could not rouse his fighting spirit.

"Father!"

Suddenly, the Celestial Venerable Tianling felt a thunderclap startle him awake. He instinctively turned his head and saw An Hao staring at him with a ferocious expression.

"Father! Since you are my father, you cannot surrender! Even if we die, we will fight to the death!" An Hao roared through gritted teeth, his words extremely difficult to utter despite his inability to move.

He can accept failure, he can accept death, but he cannot accept the Celestial Venerable losing his confidence.

Since his parents passed away when he was a child, he has also fantasized about what it would be like if his parents were still alive.

Back then, when facing the monster, his father was just an ordinary person. To protect him, he risked his life to lure the monster away. It was his father's performance in the face of death that gave him the courage to risk his life to protect the safety of his fellow villagers.

Later, he met Gu An, the most important master in his life, whose strength and fearlessness always guided him.

An Hao was furious at Tianling Immortal's fear, and he would not allow Tianling Immortal to lose his composure like this.

What does it matter if I die!

Touched by An Hao's gaze, Tianling Immortal Venerable took a deep breath and looked at Tianling God again, his eyes becoming firm.

He struggled to raise his right hand, his hand trembling uncontrollably in the face of the aura of the Heavenly Immortal, not out of fear, but because he could not bear it.

"Even if it means death, I will protect him..." Celestial Venerable Tianling gritted his teeth, thinking to himself.

suddenly!

The Heavenly Spirit God suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, raising the Heavenly Dao Divine Axe high, intending to strike An Hao.

He wanted to kill An Hao in front of the Heavenly Spirit Immortal!

The Heavenly Spirit Immortal's pupils constricted, time seemed to freeze, he felt himself moving so slowly, even though An Hao was right beside him, his hand could not touch An Hao.

An Hao's face was illuminated by the bright light, but he still looked ferocious, his eyes filled with boundless rage as he stared intently at the Heavenly Spirit God.

He was prepared to die, but he didn't want to die without dignity!

boom!
An Hao's vision went dark, and then a strong wind suddenly arose around him. The pressure that had been binding him vanished, but another indescribable grand aura enveloped him, forcing him to close his eyes.

"Ok?"

The Heavenly Spirit God's surprised voice rang out, startling An Hao so much that he quickly opened his eyes. When he saw the figure in front of him clearly, his eyes widened and his whole body trembled.

A figure appeared between Tianlingshen and An Hao, blocking the Heavenly Dao Divine Axe in Tianlingshen's hand. The axe hovered above the man's head, unable to fall, with the blade ten centimeters away from his forehead. But it was this ten-centimeter distance that saved An Hao's life.

Celestial Venerable Tianling also felt his restraints disappear. He looked at the person who had suddenly appeared, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with fear.

"Master!" An Hao exclaimed excitedly.

The visitor was none other than Gu An!
Gu An, dressed in black, stood in front of An Hao with his back to him. His robes fluttered, and the Qinghong Sword was at his waist. His right hand was still resting on the hilt of the sword. He stared calmly at Tian Ling Shen.

Their eyes met; Tian Lingshen's gaze held a scrutinizing quality, while Gu An remained calm and composed.

Gu An had imagined countless times what it would be like to confront the Heavenly Spirit God, and now that the moment had come, his heart was filled with an unprecedented calm.

At this moment, Gu An was not the only one facing the Heavenly Spirit God.

There are also Ji, Yang Xian, and Hei Xuandi!
