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

Chapter 999 Ghostly Venerable

This long staircase, built by ghosts, is quite spectacular on the main road.

The vortex of silver light at the top of the ghost staircase continued to surge, and a white boot stepped out from it, revealing a domineering figure.

This was a tall man dressed in a black robe, with a red scarf tied around his waist. His long black hair flowed freely, and he wore a dark red mask on his face, making him look like a vengeful ghost with a ferocious expression.

He stood atop the long, ghostly staircase, like a king of the underworld, looking down upon everything.

He didn't go down immediately, but looked down, tilting his head as if searching for something.

After a while, he raised his right hand, and wisps of black energy condensed in his hand, gradually forming a black bead surrounded by gray energy. This black bead was expanding, and the gray energy was overflowing from it.

As the black bead grew larger, the road below began to tremble.

Gu An and Blood Prison Great Sage, who were far away on the other side of the Great Road, also sensed the aura of the mysterious man in black robes.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison became excited and asked in a low voice, "Master, is it him?"

His bull-like eyes flashed with an unusual light, traversing the main road to take in the black-robed man.

The moment he saw the man in black robes, he knew that this man was no ordinary person.

But that's perfect, the stronger he is, the better he can team up with his master to deal with it!

Gu An remained calm and did not say anything.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison thought he had guessed Gu An's meaning, so he raised his head and moved forward, his hooves pounding faster and faster, soon generating a strong wind.

At the same time, the black-robed man's actions attracted the attention of some living beings, and more and more divine senses swept over to investigate him.

Before long, the Blood Prison Great Sage, rushing towards them, came into the black-robed man's view, which aroused his curiosity.

The powerful creatures here were terrified by his presence, like startled birds, and could only hide in the shadows, trembling with fear. Yet, there were still weaklings who dared to approach him.

In his eyes, the Blood Prison Great Sage was weak and not worth mentioning at all.

As for the creature on the back of the Blood Prison Great Sage...

The black-robed man stopped, staring intently at Gu An. The vortex of silver light behind him froze, and the ghostly staircase beneath his feet seemed to sense something and began to tremble.

"Master, he seems to be watching us!"

Blood Prison Great Sage said excitedly, his bull-like eyes gleaming. He would leap into the air and start the battle as soon as Gu An gave the order.

Gu An said, "Keep moving forward, don't worry about him."

This puzzled the Great Sage of Blood Prison. Could it be that their opponent was not this person?
Although he didn't understand, he still chose to obey his master's orders.

He accelerated forward, like a gust of bloody wind sweeping across the earth.

The man in black robes kept staring at the Blood Prison Great Sage. The demon mask on his face concealed his expression, making him appear so sinister from his high and mighty position.

The black-robed man only made his move after the Blood Prison Great Sage carried Gu An across the ghostly staircase below.

He vanished from the top of the ghostly staircase and appeared in front of the Blood Prison Great Sage as if by teleportation.

Blood Prison Great Sage's eyes widened, but he didn't have time to stop because his opponent attacked first.

The man in black robes raised his right hand, and streams of black mist, like dragons, surged from his palm, erupting like a mountain torrent with tremendous force, threatening to engulf the Blood Prison Great Sage and Gu An in one fell swoop.

boom--

The black mist was suddenly dispersed, the black-robed man's long hair was blown up, and the demon mask twisted as if it had come to life. Then, the black-robed man turned into ashes.

Blood Prison Great Sage rushed forward and saw that the view ahead suddenly became clear, which invigorated him.

"He's dead? Really?"

"Blood Prison Great Sage!" he exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, which made Gu An smile. Before Gu An could reply, figures appeared in the void ahead, all of them the same black-robed man from before. They were densely packed, with identical appearances and postures, making it impossible to distinguish who was the real one.

In the blink of an eye, the entire void was filled with the figures of men in black robes, as numerous as stars, exuding a sense of oppression that made the Blood Prison Great Sage's scalp tingle.

Among the second-generation disciples, there were also those skilled in the art of creating clones, but none as numerous as this person. Moreover, each of this person's clones possessed a terrifying aura, showing no signs of weakening.

An endless pressure descended from all directions, making it difficult for the Blood Prison Great Sage to breathe.

The Great Dao beneath the feet of the Blood Prison Great Sage began to tremble, seemingly also fearing the power of the black-robed man.

Just then, a hand patted the Blood Prison Great Sage's forehead, startling him awake. Immediately, the pressure on his body disappeared, making him feel relieved.

The countless black-robed men that filled the void vanished in an instant.

[You have successfully seized 671,255,110,234 years of lifespan from Ghostly Venerable (mid-stage of the Profound Qi Primordial Immortal Realm).]

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Gu An was no longer delighted. He deliberately let the man in black robes show off his skills so that the Blood Prison Great Saint could broaden his horizons.

As he wished, the Blood Prison Great Sage ran forward while staring dumbfounded at the void.

The ghostly staircase behind them began to crumble, and the ghosts looked so desolate as they dispersed, as if they wanted to escape the cycle of reincarnation.

"This……"

The Great Sage of Blood Prison wanted to say something, but he couldn't express his emotions.

He was always shocked every time he saw Gu An make a move.

Although he didn't see what Gu An did this time, he had personally experienced the power of Ghost Lord Li.

Such a powerful being was instantly annihilated?
Just how outrageous has the master's cultivation reached?
Could he really be a supreme being descended to earth?

The Great Sage of Blood Prison was amazed, and after the initial shock came intense tension.

He himself felt that he was not qualified to be his master's mount.

He thought of the image of his master riding the divine steed, and he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't overthink it, keep moving forward, don't look back, the best is yet to come."

Gu An's voice came from behind him, causing him to shake his head and look straight ahead.

only……

He couldn't help but think of the terrifying scene of the Ghostly Venerable spreading throughout the void.

What level of cultivation is that guy, and what is his background?

He sensed that the being that his master had just destroyed must have been a very important figure.

It's so sad that he died so confused and clueless.

It seems I can't act rashly in the future; I need to be more careful with those who seem insignificant.

Gu An listened to the Blood Prison Great Sage's thoughts and found them amusing, but he did not offer any advice.

This guy definitely needs to be more careful.

That Ghost Lord was indeed a great figure, an ancient and powerful being in the underworld who once dominated a region. Later, he went into seclusion to cultivate, but unfortunately, even after so many eras of seclusion, his cultivation could not break through to the late stage of the Profound Qi Primordial Immortal Realm; he only accumulated magical power.

The reason why Ghost Lord appeared on the Path of the Great Dao is because this Path of the Great Dao will present an opportunity for enlightenment.

Another of the Nine Great Paths is about to be born.

At this moment, powerful beings from both the Yin and Yang realms have already arrived. Their cultivation level is at least that of a Great Dao Immortal. Those with lower cultivation levels would not be able to perceive this opportunity at all.
