Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 584: Chapter 577: Ancestral Dragon War, The Sword that Cleaved the Universe_3

Master, why do you want to help him fight against the Silent Destruction God Emperor?

He suddenly became excited, enveloped by a huge surprise, trembling all over.

“The Long Clan actually has such an ancestor.”

The voice of Candle Celestial Monarch came through, filled with emotion.

Just the Dragon Annihilation Dharma Aspect alone was troublesome enough for him, and now the emergence of an even more daunting Dharma Aspect gave him a chilling sense of an unbeatable adversary.

He trusted his intuition!

...

“Master, it’s time for you to make a move,” the voice of Candle Celestial Monarch rose again, teasing in tone.

All the cultivators of the Battle Court looked towards Candle Celestial Monarch, almost every one of them showing a bit of astonishment.

In the hearts of the vast majority of Battle Court cultivators, Candle Celestial Monarch was the strongest, and they had not expected him to have brought along his master.

The master of the Lord of the War Court, could it be that ancient myth?

As Candle Celestial Monarch’s words fell, a gigantic pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness of the void behind him, looming over the entire battlefield.

The stature of Candle Celestial Monarch was colossal, taller than any mountain in the world, yet before these eyes, he was less significant than their pupils.

Faced with these eyes, every creature felt panic.

The Celestial Vault of the Celestial Spirit Great World also revealed these eyes, causing all beings to tremble with fear, unable to comprehend what the heavens and the earth were facing; they could only focus on Gu An’s Dharma Aspect.

Perhaps this mysterious existence could protect them!

Long Qing turned around and was equally frightened by the silhouette behind Candle Celestial Monarch. What kind of eyes were those?

He had lived for twenty thousand years and, with the experiences of his previous life, had never seen such terrifying eyes, like the abyss of the universe, hiding the utmost horror and despair.

“He is not the person I am looking for, he is just an effect-and-cause Dharma Aspect.”

A voice of cold indifference echoed through the universe, audible to all the myriad beings of the Great Thousand World.

Each word trembled the hearts of all beings, as if the supreme Heavenly Dao was declaring the laws of heaven.

Candle Celestial Monarch was about to speak, but another voice interrupted his thoughts.

“The one you seek may well be me.”

All the cultivators of the Battle Court turned their heads in unison, including the Innate Golden Immortals and even those Celestial Spirit Cultivators watching from the distant void.

The voice came from the Dharma Aspect behind Long Qing!

Long Qing turned and clenched his excited fists tightly.

That was his master’s voice!

His master was his Primordial Ancestor, Ancestral Dragon War!

This fact did not cause him to crumble; rather, he felt fortunate.

The person he most revered was his ancestor; it felt like a dream.

Gu An’s Dharma Aspect lifted his right hand, a myriad of silver lights appeared in his palm, quickly converging into a sword.

The moment he grasped the sword, Gu An’s voice rang out again:

“Break!”

Ping—

Space shattered like a mirror, all beings were frozen in place, including the Innate Golden Immortals, unable to move. They saw a dense expanse of spatial fragments before them, where a more majestic figure appeared behind Candle Celestial Monarch.

It was a man in a white robe, with yellow, withered hair longer than his robe, his face shriveled, like skin stretched over bone, his eye sockets deep-set. The entirety of his appearance was shockingly terrifying.

It was the Immortal Emperor!

The Immortal Emperor’s face showed astonishment.

Long Qing, too, was startled by the sudden appearance of the Immortal Emperor. Then, his attention was caught by the sword light. Glancing inadvertently, he saw a silver blade, spanning longer than the heavens and the earth, slash before him, as if a mythological celestial river had appeared.

That was the sword in Gu An’s Dharma Aspect’s hand.

Long Qing couldn’t move; he could not even hear any sound.

Not just him, all beings had lost their hearing, unable to act, merely witnessing the Dharma Aspect raising his sword to strike at Candle Celestial Monarch and the Immortal Emperor.

All the cultivators of the Battle Court were plunged into extreme terror because they realized that Candle Celestial Monarch and the being behind him also could not move, as if waiting to be beheaded by the enemy.

With one slash from Gu An, the sword light burst forth, too fast for even the vision of Innate Golden Immortals to fully capture. The universe seemed split in two by it, a sight profoundly awe-inspiring.

In an instant, Candle Celestial Monarch was reduced to ash, the Immortal Emperor slashed by the sword light, eyes widening in shock.

Space busted once more, the shattered fragments quickly dispersing as though illusions striking the senses of all beings.

Before they could react, a roar of outrage erupted:

“You…”

Upon uttering just one word, the Immortal Emperor’s flesh erupted in a thousand sword lights, followed by annihilation, becoming dust, gone from existence.

The entire universe fell into silence for a moment; the sword light that had bisected the universe still hung in the air, as the cultivators who regained their senses looked towards both ends to discover they could not see the end of the sword light, as if the entire universe was indeed cut in half by it!
