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

Chapter 851 A Moment's Difference

Rumbling--

In the dim, cosmic void, thunder rumbled incessantly, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Xu You and Zhang Buku, clad in golden armor, rode forward on the clouds, their gazes fixed on the depths of the void, where red clouds surged, resembling enormous and terrifying demons baring their fangs and claws.

"This plane is on the edge of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao's fortune is weak here, and chaotic demons sometimes invade. You and I must be extremely careful on this trip. Once we find the Life Heart Iron, we will leave immediately."

Xu You turned to look at Zhang Bukui and said seriously.

Zhang Buku rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Between you and me, when have you ever taken the greater risk?"

Xu You laughed and said, "I was just afraid you'd get carried away after your breakthrough."

The two bickered as they flew forward, their divine senses covering the void in all directions, sweeping over the meteorites.

for a long time.

The two arrived at a dark red void, filled with red light spots and intertwined lightning. Besides meteorites, there were also ruined continents and even ancient and huge architectural remnants floating around.

Zhang Bukui suddenly felt uneasy, as if a terrifying force was secretly watching them, and he became more vigilant.

Xu You raised his right hand and wiped his forehead. A vertical eye opened on his forehead, and golden light burst from its pupil, creating many golden eye phantoms.

The two continued on their way in silence.

"The Life-Giving Iron is there!"

Xu You suddenly spoke, and with a flash, he appeared out of thin air on a meteorite. The meteorite looked tiny from a distance, but when he landed on its surface, it felt as if he were on a vast, desolate land.

Before him stood a massive iron boulder that reflected a cold light, its blade like that of a giant sword cleaving through the earth, reaching a height of a thousand feet.

Zhang Buku appeared beside Xu You, and when he saw the Life Heart Black Iron in front of him, his face lit up with surprise.

Without saying a word, Xu You raised his hand to cast a spell, trying to pull out the Life Heart Iron. However, the next second, his expression changed drastically.

The life-giving iron trembled, but it did not detach from the ground.

Zhang Buku frowned, then raised his hand to help Xu You with his own magic power. However, even with the two of them working together, the Life Heart Iron could not be pulled out, as if a hand with terrifying power was dragging it from below.

"No, we have to give up on this one!"

Zhang Bukui said in a deep voice, his intuition telling him that continuing to pull would lead to a major disaster.

Xu You said in a deep voice, "Going further ahead will definitely be dangerous. Taking this piece with us is the best outcome. Let's hold on a little longer. We'll give up if we can't do it."

His golden eyes on his forehead widened, and a golden light shone on the Life Heart Black Iron. A golden stream of light flowed down the surface of the black iron and covered it until it disappeared into the soil.

Rumbling--

The earth began to tremble; to be precise, the entire meteorite trembled as if it were about to explode.

Xu You's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Zhang Bukui's wrist and pulled him away.

After a brief moment of surprise, Zhang Bukui immediately drew his divine weapon with his other hand.

An unimaginable pressure descended, making the void even darker. Zhang Bukui and the other felt a sudden pressure on their bodies, trying to press them down. They instinctively unleashed all their magical power to resist.

"We are no longer immortals or gods; if we die, we will truly perish, body and soul!"

Xu You gritted his teeth and said, a pagoda appeared in his hand. He raised it, and the pagoda continuously emitted a blue light, enveloping them. Unfortunately, it still could not reduce the pressure on them, and their flight speed rapidly decreased.

"Do you need to tell me? I told you to give up just now, but you wouldn't listen!" Zhang Buku said in a low voice with a gloomy face. This kind of situation had happened countless times, and he was almost used to it.

Just then, everything went black before their eyes. Zhang Bukui subconsciously looked up and saw an enormous black hand descending from above, grabbing at them.

Even though they didn't stop, the hand was still above their heads, as if they weren't flying at all.

Zhang Buku gritted his teeth, gripped his divine weapon, and thrust it towards the sky. Even knowing that the difference in strength was vast, he was determined to fight with all his might.

the other side.

Gu An, far away on Immortal Seeking Island in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, was observing Zhang Buku's tribulation from inside the auction house.

"Your name is 'No Suffering,' yet you are constantly plagued by calamities. Senior brother, you are truly a difficult child to protect."

Gu An muttered to himself as he sat in a side room in the pavilion, with a curtain hanging in front of him, through which he could see the terrace outside.

On the balcony, a cultivator was displaying and auctioning treasures. The other rooms were all covered by curtains, and from the outside, each room seemed to be shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside.

Gu An came here just to watch the fun; he didn't actually intend to buy anything.

Just then, Zhang Buku encountered misfortune, and his attention was diverted as well.

Zhang Bukui had been cultivating in the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Extreme for many years and had just broken through to the Innate Golden Immortal Realm. He and Xu You went to that plane to find materials to forge a supreme treasure. Now that he had forged an indestructible body, his strength far exceeded his realm. He needed a suitable supreme treasure to unleash the domineering power of his supernatural abilities.

Their misfortune was not due to bad luck, but because someone had been watching them for a long time.

Dark Heavenly Court!

To be precise, the Dark Heavenly Court wasn't targeting Zhang Bukui, but rather Xu You.

The one who made the move was none other than Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable. His cultivation level was Hunyuan Tongxuan Venerable Immortal. Even if Xu You unleashed the power of the Emperor's Origin, he would be no match for him.

Gu An did not immediately rush to save Zhang Buku, because he foresaw Zhang Buku's impending fate.

Although Zhang Bukui will suffer a lot at the hands of Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable, he will also have a great opportunity to achieve a leap in his cultivation.

Even if Zhang Bukui is tainted by the Dark Heavenly Court's fortune, Gu An has a way to help him escape his misery.

Looking at Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable, Gu An felt a completely different sensation than during their last encounter.

Although Emperor Bone Tongxuan was no match for him in their last encounter, now everything about Emperor Bone Tongxuan is in his eyes. He can control Emperor Bone Tongxuan's fate and deny Emperor Bone Tongxuan's past.

When Emperor Gu Tongxuan led the Dark Heavenly Court to invade the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor must have felt the same way.

Whether in the Chaos or the Heavenly Dao, Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable's strength is extremely high, but in the eyes of Gu An and the Heavenly Emperor, he is no different from a mortal.

Gu An couldn't help but wonder if there were higher-level beings who viewed him and the Heavenly Emperor in this way.

He has not yet felt such power, but he will assume that such power exists.

This kind of invisible pressure helps him stay true to his original aspirations.

Even the Supreme Emperor of the Ultimate Fusion of the Dao could not satisfy him!
He is not only one level higher than Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable, but also two, three, four, or even more levels higher!
As long as lifespan evolution can continue, there is no limit to it!
“If you treat him well, you will have a way out. If you make the wrong choice, the Heavenly Emperor will not destroy you, but I will.”

Gu An leaned back in his chair, propping his face up with one hand, and muttered to himself.

Everyone has countless destinies, and a single thought can lead to a different fate. Gu An has taken in all the destinies of Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable.
