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

Chapter 987 Why is it you?
Lu Lingjun stood on the cloud, with the White Spirit Demon Emperor curled up on her shoulder. She wore silver armor, her long hair tied back and held high, exuding a heroic aura.

On her left and right sides and behind her stood countless figures in silver armor, all of them heavenly soldiers.

That's right, Lu Lingjun has now become a celestial soldier.

Without the guidance of a supreme immortal and without passing the Heavenly Dao's tests, the best way to become an immortal is to participate in the Heavenly Army selection. Lu Lingjun has successfully passed the selection and a series of tests, becoming a true celestial being.

From ascending to the heavens to becoming an immortal, Lu Lingjun experienced countless hardships and battles, and she has long since transformed.

Now, her Heavenly Army is about to face a major battle, but she feels neither nervous nor excited; she is completely calm.

The Heavenly Army she joined was no ordinary Heavenly Army; it was considered the elite of the Heavenly Court, with the weakest of the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers possessing the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal of the Heavenly Realm.

The Golden Immortals of Hengtian are already qualified to become gods, but they are still willing to fight as soldiers because they are accumulating merits.

For the Heavenly Court today, conquering Chaos and the Underworld is a more lucrative way to accumulate merit, while eliminating demons within the Heavenly Court's subordinate realms does not yield as much merit, as those are all manageable risks.

As long as Lu Lingjun's Heavenly Army survives, any Heavenly Soldier has a chance to become a Celestial Lord.

At this moment, the celestial clouds beneath her feet were carrying them toward the Chaos. The closer they got to the Chaos, the stronger her unease became.

This operation is definitely different from the past!

The White Spirit Demon Emperor could sense her emotions and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, our Heavenly Army is no ordinary force."

Lu Lingjun glanced at it and said, "For us, it's better to be a little nervous."

The White Spirit Demon Emperor flicked his tongue, seemingly smiling.

Looking around, besides Lu Lingjun, there were other immortals and gods with their demonic pets or mounts, and some heavenly soldiers were huge, standing behind them like mountains.

"Indeed, I'm incredibly nervous."

A voice came from behind Lu Lingjun. She immediately used her divine sense to look behind her, and then her expression became quite interesting.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor turned his head and looked over, his snake body trembling as if he had seen a ghost.

"why you?"

The White Spirit Demon Emperor exclaimed in surprise, causing the heavenly soldiers around them to turn their heads to look at them.

Gu An, clad in silver armor, quickly reminded him, "Keep your voice down, don't forget the Heavenly Rules."

The White Spirit Demon Emperor stared at him blankly, while Lu Lingjun's body visibly tensed up.

Gu An wore the standard silver armor of a celestial soldier, his long hair flowing down his headdress. His aura was like that of the celestial soldiers and generals, his posture upright and spirited. Coupled with his extremely handsome face, it was hard to look away once you saw him.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Lingjun suppressed her excitement and asked, her heart filled with confusion.

With Gu An's abilities, he can only be a soldier?

But when she thought about Gu An's disguise in the Tai Xuan Sect, she felt it was normal.

That's the kind of thing this guy is capable of doing.

"I'm already a god, so it's normal for me to be here," Gu An replied casually.

He deliberately made a strange expression and said, "But you guys have grown up very quickly!"

The White Spirit Demon Emperor snorted, "What are you pretending for? You definitely know our situation." After saying that, it became nervous again.

The person before us is no ordinary being; he is someone who can protect a vast world from the onslaught of the armies of immortals and gods.

Moreover, legend has it that the reason why the situation in the struggle for the throne was reversed was because of the Founding Master Wushi!

After arriving in Zhongtian, Bai Ling Demon Emperor and Lu Lingjun always believed that they could turn danger into safety because Gu An was behind them.

The more Bai Ling Demon Emperor thought about it, the more nervous he became, fearing he might offend Gu An.

Gu An smiled and said, "Alright, let's continue to wait. We'll be fighting side by side from now on."

He came to this Heavenly Army in his own identity. He has already created an identity, and will continue to fight alongside the Heavenly Army, reaping the rewards of his lifespan.

He had foreseen Lu Lingjun's fate: this heavenly army would face a grueling battle, with only one in ten surviving, and would ultimately be defeated. Thus, the Heavenly Court would once again begin a defensive war against the forces of chaos.

When the Heavenly Court focuses its power on external enemies, its internal control becomes looser, giving all living beings an opportunity for ambitious individuals to rise to power amidst the chaos.

What follows will be a dark period full of opportunities!

Lu Lingjun stood in front of Gu An, her mind in turmoil. She couldn't help but wonder if Gu An's appearance was for her sake.

One thing is certain: the upcoming battle will be extremely dangerous, which is why Gu An has been forced to take action personally.

Just as Lu Lingjun and Bai Ling Demon Emperor were lost in thought, a golden light descended from the sky and landed in front of them. A strong wind howled, stirring up the sea of ​​clouds and blowing the hems of the heavenly soldiers' armor.

Amidst the vast golden light, a figure slowly emerged.

It was a celestial being clad in heavy golden armor, wielding an incredibly exaggerated greatsword. On either side stood a black Qilin, their bodies ablaze with flames, roaring to themselves, instantly solemnizing the expressions of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers.

This celestial being was none other than the Supreme Marshal who once swept across the three thousand great worlds.

He surveyed the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, his eyes filled with a sense of oppression.

"Gentlemen, we have already ventured deep into the chaos. Countless demons are eyeing us from outside the barrier. Once the barrier opens, we will be engaged in a desperate battle. These demons will devour the Heavenly Dao's fortune, meaning that the Heavenly Dao's fortune within us will no longer be able to protect our resurrection. We must fight with all our might!"

Marshal Zhitian's voice rang out, like a thunderclap, and his words caused the expressions of most of the heavenly soldiers and generals to change.

If they cannot be resurrected, their confidence will be greatly weakened.

No one was deterred by this; they simply adjusted their mindset and prepared to fight to the death.

The celestial soldiers who can join this celestial army are all the strongest in their respective regions, talents rarely seen throughout the ages. They also have ambitions that other immortals and gods cannot match. The stronger the enemy and the more dangerous the war, the more excited they are, because it means that their achievements will be even greater.

Lu Lingjun, who was mentally prepared, did not panic, but her eyes turned cold.

Marshal Zhitian turned around, raised his sword and thrust it forward. Suddenly, the blue sky in front of him shattered, revealing a huge black hole. The spiritual energy within the barrier surged outwards wildly, and countless black shadows floated in the black hole. They were of different shapes and all emitted a red light, as if their eyes were radiating killing intent.

Marshal Zhitian roared and charged forward, followed by two black Qilins that ran ahead, their figures intertwined, moving as fast as the wind.

"kill--"

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals shouted in unison, then transformed into thousands of golden lights and charged forward. They almost instantly reached the chaos and entered the darkness. The number of demons they saw had multiplied, with endless demons in every direction.

Seeing the Heavenly Army emerge from the Heavenly Dao's fortune, all the demons went berserk, roaring and charging forward like a black tidal wave, engulfing the Heavenly Army. But soon, golden light burst forth from the darkness, illuminating and annihilating the demons one by one.
