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

Watching Gu An's demonic shadow approach, the Golden Extreme God furrowed his brows. Although he couldn't see through the demonic shadow, he wasn't afraid.

He was a Celestial God, blessed by the Celestial Dao Destiny, and even if he couldn't overcome his opponent, he wouldn't be completely obliterated from existence.

The Golden Extreme God didn't inquire about Gu An's origins, as asking would be meaningless.

However, this fellow dared to walk directly towards him, and as a Celestial God, he wouldn't just wait to be killed.

His right palm lifted, facing Gu An. His expression was cold and indifferent.

All cultivators, the Innate Human Race and evil demons fixed their gaze on Gu An's demonic shadow, including Tian Hao and Lv Xian. Tian Hao looked the most expectant and excited.

Although he had sparred with his master, the gap in the cultivation level was vast, and he had no idea how strong his master truly was.

Moreover, he had never seen his master fight a life-and-death battle with an enemy. He had only heard from his senior brothers and sisters about the past, which made him long to see his master's powerful side.

A golden-red light gathered in the palm of the Golden Extreme God. Lightning intertwined, resembling billions of demon birds screeching. The lightning illuminated the faces of all living beings between heaven and earth, making their expressions shift between light and dark.

The heaven and earth began to tremble; the ground split open as if the world was about to collapse, permeated with a suffocating and dangerous aura.

Yuan Songzi, who was nearby, could feel the terrifying power of the Golden Extreme God. His gaze fixated on Gu An, and he made a guess.

"Could it be the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable? Has he not left?"

Although Yuan Songzi had never seen the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable manifest a demon body, he had heard of the legend and even felt the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable's formidable aura when battling with the Celestial Spirit God and the Silent Destruction God Emperor.

He could only think it was the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.

The Supporting Dao Sword Venerable hadn't left!

As Gu An drew closer to the Golden Extreme God, more and more cultivators recalled the legend of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.

The Golden Extreme God raised his right hand above his head, the clouds above pierced by golden lightning bolts, which then interwove in his palm. Nature's spiritual energy rushed forth, forming violent winds that howled, making the trembling of heaven and earth even more intense.

Zhu Guanghan watched Gu An with curiosity filling his heart. He silently stepped back, not interfering with Gu An's confrontation with the Golden Extreme God.

In the eyes of Tian Hao and others, Gu An, who walked towards the thunder, appeared so powerful, his silhouette exuding an unshakable aura.

The Golden Extreme God swung his hand towards Gu An. Endless golden lightning from all directions of heaven and earth struck at Gu An with a devouring force.

Boom—

The vast golden lightning was instantly dispersed, and the Golden Extreme God vanished in a flash.

The hundred-foot-tall Zhu Guanghan widened his eyes in disbelief.

He and his kin were enslaved by the Golden Extreme God, so he knew very well how fearsome the Golden Extreme God was. Even though he had become a Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal, in front of the Golden Extreme God, he was no different from a Mortal Spirit.

Such a powerful Celestial God was completely no match for this man!

He hadn't even seen how Gu An made his move.

But he was sure that the Golden Extreme God hadn't merely dodged and disappeared but was obliterated body and soul.

However, a Celestial God could resurrect using the Celestial Dao Destiny, so it was challenging to kill him thoroughly. Therefore, he didn't pay attention to the Golden Extreme God but kept his eyes on Gu An, filled with fear.

Everything happened too fast!

Previously, the Golden Extreme God seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, but now, the entire world was returning to calm.

No one spoke, and most of the cultivators were dumbstruck, staring at the demonic shadow.

Gu An halted his steps, slightly tilting his head as if glancing sideways at Zhu Guanghan, who wore a gloomy expression and did not turn to flee.

He had long been a prisoner, with nowhere to escape, and he knew he couldn't escape, so he could only wait for his end.

Meanwhile,

in the courtyard of Daoist Field of the Beginningless, Shen Zhen, An Xin, and Ghost Mother of Ephemera were staring at the illusion above the Artifact Refining Cauldron, all three women widened their eyes, then turned their heads to look to the side.

Gu An still lay on the chair reading a book, making them look back and forth, confirming that the demonic shadow on the battlefield was identical to Gu An's figure.

"Is that an avatar?" An Xin couldn't help but ask Gu An.

Gu An turned a page of his book and said, "Yes, dealing with those guys, why should I personally take action? I'm very busy, okay?"

Whether it's Immortal Gods or the Innate Human Race, none can grant him life span; hence, he naturally couldn't be bothered to act personally.

Shen Zhen, curious, watched the illusion above the Artifact Refining Cauldron and discovered she couldn't perceive the cause and effect of that demonic shadow.

You should know that she could even scrutinize the destiny of Celestial Spirit Gods, but she couldn't see through an avatar of Gu An. How high exactly was Gu An's true cultivation level?

Even after coexisting for more than 80,000 years, no one still knew Gu An's true cultivation level.

Ghost Mother of Ephemera was also curious about this, feeling very emotional in her heart. Encountering Gu An was truly a tremendous opportunity; she became increasingly grateful to Gu An.

What she had done could be replaced by anyone else; on the contrary, Gu An had given her opportunities that no other beings could obtain.

...

On the shattered blood-red ground, whether they were Cultivators or the Innate Human Race, all stared blankly at Gu An.

The stronger the momentum displayed by the Golden Extreme God previously, the greater the shock brought to them by Gu An.

The Innate Human Race felt even more desperate. In their eyes, the Golden Extreme God was the most powerful being, a capable and terrifying Immortal God who brought them eternal despair, yet such a being was annihilated in an instant without any ability to resist.

They were doomed!

The Innate Human Race that arrived in this realm were mostly the pillars of their community, and they were clearly aware of the consequences of this expedition.

Many from the Innate Human Race, also evil demons, showed a relieved expression. Compared to tortured life, if like the Golden Extreme God, they could instantaneously turn to ash and smoke, wasn't that a form of liberation?

And painless at that!

Zhu Guanghan thought so as well, thus he harbored no thoughts of resistance and quietly awaited the arrival of death, his gaze continuously fixed on the demonic shadow of Gu An.

"Very formidable, are you the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable?"

A playful laugh rang through the heavens and earth, the voice youthful, reminiscent of a young boy.

Figures appeared out of nowhere around Gu An, all shimmering with dazzling immortal light, illuminating the entire dim heaven and earth.

Tian Hao, Yuan Songzi, and others were startled awake by the sudden arrival of the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong. Upon seeing the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong for the first time, they instinctively felt the same reverence as they had toward the Golden Extreme God.

They even felt that most of these individuals were stronger than the Golden Extreme God.

Especially that person...

Tian Hao, Yuan Songzi, and the others from the Beginningless unconsciously locked their gaze on the Purple Dragon Star Monarch.

The stature of the Purple Dragon Star Monarch was notably taller than the other Golden Cave Immortals, his aura overwhelmingly powerful. Looking at the Purple Dragon Star Monarch, their imagination of an invincible person materialized in that moment.

"Do you know what background he has?" Purple Dragon Star Monarch asked emotionlessly, gazing at Gu An surrounded by Demonic Qi, his eyes unchanging and indifferent, as if not viewing Gu An as a concern.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other Golden Cave Immortals suddenly erupted with their own aura. The entire heaven and earth shattered in an instant, turning into nothingness. All beings only felt as if everything before their eyes suddenly vanished, and they appeared out of nowhere in the cosmic void, while the immortal light of the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong caught their gaze, preventing them from looking away, unable to think of anything else.
