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

Chapter 988 Ji Ming Cang Emperor
Gu An gripped a silver spear and swung it rapidly, each strike capable of taking away the lifespan of a demon.

Compared to other heavenly soldiers and generals, he did not use any magnificent supernatural powers or spells. He fought solely with his agility and magical power, and every move he made was concise and effective.

He lived not far from Lu Lingjun and Bai Ling Demon Emperor, and often helped them share the burden.

"He seemed so relaxed."

The White Spirit Demon Emperor exclaimed in amazement as he breathed out demonic flames.

She and Lu Lingjun were connected at heart; they could hear each other's thoughts with just a thought.

Lu Lingjun glanced at Gu An, and upon seeing his figure, the restlessness in her heart began to dissipate.

The heavenly soldiers and generals have dispersed to avoid being bombarded by the supernatural powers of the chaotic demons. Even though they are dispersed, they maintain a mysterious formation to counteract the demons' aura as much as possible.

[You have successfully seized 53,260,223,104 years of lifespan from Lu Luomo (late-stage Golden Immortal Realm).]

[You have successfully seized 30,196,001,665 years of lifespan from Lang Xie Xiao Yin (a Perfected Innate Golden Immortal).]

[You have successfully seized the lifespan of Mo Buwang (early stage of Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm) 7,109,982 years]

You have successfully seized 821,309,784 years of lifespan from the Devouring Pharaoh (Perfected Golden Immortal Realm of Hengtian).

A series of prompts kept appearing before Gu An's eyes, making him feel incredibly happy.

He suppressed his magical power within the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm, enjoying the thrill of battle.

He had not experienced such continuous fighting for many years, and during the battles, he also pondered his own path.

Even for saints, the path of cultivation still has a long way to go.

Breaking through lifespan through evolution is one thing, and spending time comprehending the Tao is another; the two are not contradictory.

Gu An killed enemies as easily as drinking water, but he was inconspicuous in the chaotic void battlefield.

The most powerful Heavenly Marshal carried the greatest hatred, and the demons that besieged him were incredibly powerful, often drawing the attention of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

"Yin——"

A roar like that of a dragon rang out, and a piercing white light appeared in the darkness. From within that piercing light emerged enormous divine steeds.

The hoofbeats of each divine steed shook the universe as they unleashed an unstoppable force into the battlefield, instantly relieving the pressure on the celestial army.

The heavenly soldiers and generals did not cheer, but seized the opportunity to continue fighting.

Chaos has no concept of time, and this war shows no sign of ending. Both sides fight with all their might, completely forgetting themselves, and no one runs away.

Lu Lingjun and Bai Ling Demon Emperor gradually put aside their distractions and focused on the battle, even ignoring the situation of the other heavenly soldiers.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Marshal Zhitian was covered in blood, the demonic blood clinging to his armor like a curse. His aura remained terrifying, with two black Qilins always by his side, protecting him from attacks from all directions, allowing him to concentrate on launching thunderous offensives against his target.

He was the calmest person on the battlefield, occasionally taking a moment to pay attention to the situation of other heavenly soldiers, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

The 100,000 Heavenly Army has been reduced to only 40%, suffering heavy losses!

This heavenly army is the elite of the Heavenly Court. Even if they ultimately win this battle, the Heavenly Court's vitality will be affected.

Although the Heavenly Court is strong and has a solid foundation, not all immortals and gods can support it at any time. The vast majority of immortals and gods are scattered in various realms of the Heavenly Dao or are in seclusion for cultivation. In war, the Heavenly Court mainly relies on the Heavenly Army.

The Supreme Marshal was the head of all the gods, and he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the Heavenly Court.

"This battle is far more dangerous than the intelligence analysis predicted; apart from the divine steed, there is no support from any other gods or immortals..."

Marshal Zhitian's eyes flickered; he sensed a scheme.

This battle is probably not as simple as it seems; it also involves internal power struggles within the Heavenly Court. The current Heavenly Emperor's control over the Heavenly Court is far less than that of the previous Heavenly Emperor.

Although Marshal Zhitian had considered this point, he had no intention of backing down.

Even if the entire army is wiped out, he will not stop, because it is his pride as a god.

The existence of gods is to fight for the Way of Heaven!

Gu An was still fighting. Without anyone noticing, the number of demons he killed was second only to the Supreme Marshal, and his lifespan increased dramatically, exceeding the accumulation of the past hundreds of millions of years.

The constant fighting caused him to accumulate more and more karma.

Karma is a rule of the Great Dao. The hatred and resentment of the murdered will form an invisible force that entangles the killer. Once the karma is heavy, it will affect the killer's mind.

The best way to counteract karma is through the power of good deeds!

The killing of someone with heavy karma is actually a meritorious act for the killer.

Most of these chaotic demons are burdened with karma and are not so innocent. Even though Gu An has killed many demons, his karma has no effect on him.

He deliberately made his karma manifest, so that he would be like the other heavenly soldiers.

Looking around, all the heavenly soldiers and generals were surrounded by black evil energy, as if they were about to become demons. That was the manifestation of karma.

In the depths of darkness, a colossal black city was silently advancing. At the top of the city, dozens of figures stood in a square, each exuding an extraordinary aura.

Leading the group was the Lord of the Azure Sky, the Supreme Azure Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor of the Netherworld was a burly man, draped in a purple robe, with a majestic and human-like face. He wore a purple crown resembling a dragon's head, and a dark red demonic beast resembling a fox perched on his shoulder, like a blood-red drape.

"This Supreme Marshal is indeed extraordinary; no wonder he can hold the position of marshal so firmly."

A powerful figure from the Azure Netherworld sighed, prompting other powerful figures to echo his sentiment.

The Emperor of the Netherworld's gaze remained indifferent, clearly showing that he did not take the Supreme Marshal seriously.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "It seems the new Heavenly Emperor is still busy vying for power. This farce should end. Who is willing to take action?"

As soon as these words were spoken, five figures stepped forward, all exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

"Wu Zhong Demon Immortal, go. Kill everyone except those that Marshal Zhi Tian wants alive."

Emperor Ji Ming Cangdi gazed ahead and coldly gave the order. As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zhong Mo Xian vanished from the spot.

The other powerful beings of Cangming joined in the discussion, chatting and laughing, not taking that heavenly army seriously.

A new scene appeared in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor of the Dark Abyss, a macroscopic image of the Heavenly Dao.

……

Lu Lingjun was physically and mentally exhausted. The long battle had pushed her to her limit. Although the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit was still providing her with a steady stream of magical power, the speed at which it could be provided could no longer keep up with the speed at which she was squandering it.

She can't hold on much longer!

Not only her, but the demonic flames that the White Spirit Demon Emperor exhaled were far less powerful than they had been at the beginning, and he didn't even have anything to say.

A sharp scream rang out, startling Lu Lingjun and Bai Ling Demon Emperor, who turned their heads to see a disheveled female demon rushing towards them, her sharp claws gleaming with a cold light.

So fast!

Lu Lingjun's pupils constricted, and she subconsciously raised her sword, but she couldn't keep up with her opponent at all.
