NOVEL NEXT Chapter 456: The Most Reliable Existence
An hour quickly passed, and Tian Yao'er came back to Gu An's side with her two companions.
"Master, how should I go through my tribulation? I feel nothing right now!" Tian Yao'er said coyly, not even daring to meet Gu An's gaze.
The master brought her here to break through, but she hadn't caught the feeling of breakthrough—how embarrassing!
The fact she hadn't spoken earlier was that she wanted to take this opportunity to see the world outside.
Gu An smiled and said, "No worries, just find a place to stand."
Upon hearing this, Tian Yao'er was overjoyed, quickly thanked him, and then walked toward the empty ground in front.
Tianqing and Tian Bai stood behind Gu An, not daring to disturb him, whispering quietly among themselves about Tian Yao'er's impending breakthrough.
Soon, Tian Yao'er chose her spot. She stood on the empty ground, looking at Gu An with nervousness and anticipation.
Immediately, Gu An waved his sleeve, and a breeze rushed towards Tian Yao'er, making her skirt flutter, outlining her perfect body curves.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged abruptly, almost drowning Tian Yao'er.
In that instant, Tian Yao'er felt a choking sensation, but it vanished in a flash. Right after, the demonic power within her started to flow into her demon core.
Boom!
A thunderbolt suddenly appeared, its booming sound tearing through all clamor in the world, startling Tianqing and Tian Bai, who looked up.
The thunderbolt left an afterimage in the sky, with thunderclouds beginning to form around it. The clouds of the heavenly tribulation were denser and more oppressive than demonic clouds.
Tian Yao'er looked up, her eyes revealing a trace of fear.
This heavenly tribulation was clearly different from the ones she had crossed before, but she instinctively looked at Gu An. Seeing him standing in the distance, her heart immediately settled.
The heavenly tribulation was about to begin!
She must reach the Nirvana Realm and not disappoint her master!
She looked at the sky again, her eyes no longer showing fear, only excitement.
Once upon a time, the Heaven Phoenix Demon Mother of the Unification Realm had been the most terrifying being in her eyes, but now she had far surpassed her, continuing to chase higher realms.
All this was bestowed by her master. For nearly a thousand years, the master had not mistreated her; she only needed to take care of medicinal herbs, which the master himself had collected.
She had always wanted to repay Gu An, but her strength was not enough.
Maybe when she reached the Nirvana Realm, she would be qualified to help her master?
…
Over an endless ocean, waves crashed against a lone mountain, on top of which stood a figure in black clothes—it was Li Ya.
Li Ya looked up at the sky. Although he couldn't see beyond it, he could feel a tremendous pressure descending from above, even oppressing him.
"When will I be able to achieve the Nirvana Realm? Without entering the Immortal Path, I am merely an ant," Li Ya murmured, furrowing his brows.
Recently, he heard the name An Hao. An Hao had entered the Nirvana Realm and even defeated Loose Immortals, now becoming a celebrated figure throughout the world.
Li Ya, although at the Mahayana Cultivation Level, was still far from the Nirvana Realm. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
He increasingly felt the struggle; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with An Hao, a sentiment that distressed him deeply.
He then thought of Zhang Buku—if Zhang Buku had stayed in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land, he might have also become famous worldwide.
Li Ya's thoughts drifted, his gaze becoming distant.
Standing on his shoulder, Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit laughed and said, "You're so young; what's there to worry about?"
Having been together so long, they had formed a bond, so Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit communicated with Gu An through her heart's voice, revealing Li Ya's desires.
However, Gu An did not respond to it, and it felt it wasn't appropriate to say more.
After all, its master was Gu An, and Li Ya was just a junior it took care of.
Li Ya took a deep breath and said, "Are you telling the truth? Can Divine Exotic City really transform a Heavenly Demon into a Divine Ghost with a strange soul?"
The power of Divine Exotic City was still too sinister, causing him to hesitate to kill more people, but if it was a Heavenly Demon, then he would not feel burdened.
Upon hearing this, the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit quickly nodded and said, "Of course, by turning them into Divine Ghosts with strange souls, you are actually saving all living beings."
After listening, Li Ya's lips curled into a smile, and he laughed, "Since that is the case, I must go then. You're right, I'm still young, being slightly behind temporarily means nothing. Who will be stronger or weaker after a thousand years or ten thousand years, who can tell!"
He leaped up, transforming into a streak of sword light speeding towards the distance.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit stood on Li Ya's shoulder, gazing at his profile and suddenly felt he had an extraordinary aura.
His talent did not seem dazzling, but there was a tenacity about him that made him appear remarkable.
Perhaps after ten thousand years, this young man could truly become a renowned figure throughout the world.
Thinking so, the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit turned its thoughts to its own master.
Where would the master be in ten thousand years?
No!
By that time, it must stay with the master, lest the master really does give it away to this young man!
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit shuddered, shook its head, and looked forward again, its little fist clenched, brimming with fighting spirit, yet appearing somewhat naïve.
...
Violent winds surged within the universe, an anomaly created by the rampant spiritual energy.
The Heavenly Demon Great Emperor landed back on the shoulder of Demon God Xuanhuang, just like the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit on Li Ya's shoulder.
He looked ahead at the seven Free Immortals and laughed, "Gentlemen, enough of the chaos, are you ready to die?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xian Emperor and the others prepared for battle, not daring to take it lightly.
They had fought until now and could see no chance of victory, but they could not retreat; they could only keep defending, even if it was just for a moment longer.
"Your Majesty, where exactly are you..."
Holy Minister gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
At this moment, not only the people of the Holy Court were thinking of Shengtian, but also Yang Xian Emperor was thinking of Shengtian.
Yang Xian Emperor had to admit that in defending against foreign enemies, Shengtian was the most reliable.
He also thought of Gu An, but he knew Gu An would not intervene unless the enemy confronted Gu An directly. In his view, Gu An had come from Outer Heaven, was an otherworldly Great Power that had secluded himself here, and had no obligation to guard the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.
Just then, the aura of Demon God Xuanhuang changed, and he opened his mouth, a scorching breath emerging from it, his surrounding black aura dispersing, gradually revealing his true form.
He was bare-chested, his body human-like, but his chest bore a mouth full of sharp teeth, his mouth's darkness acting like a gateway to the Abyss, chilling to the bone, his face ferocious, eyes pitch-black with occasional glimmers of blood-red pupils, his skin appearing scorched, his hair flowing, and upon a closer look, each hair strand resembled a dragon-snake with black dragon heads at the tips, relentlessly emitting a fiery aura.
His waist encircled by a Bone Dragon, his legs sturdy as pillars that could not be shaken, wrapped in flowing Demonic Qi till the knee, his feet unseen.
When Demon God Xuanhuang opened his mouth, the pressure on the seven Free Immortals doubled.
"Gentlemen, let's all out fight!"
Saint Ancestor spoke, his tone grave; the other Free Immortals could also feel the terrifying power accumulating in Demon God Xuanhuang.
Demon God Xuanhuang was facing the Great Heavenly Spirit Land; if they moved aside, the beings of Great Heavenly Spirit Land would face annihilation.
