Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 781 - 773 That Sword

Chapter 781 -773 That Sword

The Demon Emperor stared blankly as Gu An approached, ancient memories churned in his mind, making him ignore the current predicament.

The Dark God did not act either, only staring at Gu An.

At this moment, Gu An seemed to become the focal point of the entire world. More and more gazes locked onto him, most filled with confusion.

In the present world, few people knew Gu An.

Even when mentioning Wushi, people only thought of some vague legends. The most famous figures of Wushi were Lv Xian and Chen Chuan. People knew Wushi’s master was strong, but there weren’t many records or legends about him.

The world was silent, all living beings stared at Gu An, wanting to see what he would do.

From the Dark God’s inquiry, this man should be very strong.

But…

No matter how strong, can he be powerful enough to contend with the entire Dark Divine Sect?

Gu An was holding Li Ya’s sword, ignoring the gazes from all directions. This time, he did not deliberately hide his true face, allowing everyone to see.

He wanted to tell all beings that the Celestial Spirit Great World could rely on self-rescue. He was neither an Immortal God nor an Outer Heaven Demon; he looked just like an ordinary human.

Many great powers from Outer Heaven assumed Gu An came from another great world, hidden here. Little did they know, Gu An was born and bred in the Celestial Spirit Great World, which was why he was willing to stay.

The Dark God saw Gu An not responding, his expression grew increasingly cold, his killing intent almost solidifying. He raised his right bone claw, and as he did, the entire world suddenly changed. Darkness swallowed the celestial vault and the earth, making all beings feel suffocated.

It was at this moment!

Gu An moved!

He swiftly threw Li Ya’s treasure sword, its cold light dazzling, illuminating the Demon Emperor’s face, his eyes widened.

The Dark Heavenly God’s black robe fluttered violently, he too could not react.

Boom—

The sword pierced the Dark God at an unbelievable speed, without any flashy divine power or fierce sword intent.

This sword was very ordinary, yet exceedingly forceful!

The darkness enveloping the world shattered suddenly!

The sword light traversed the sacrificial platform, directly shattering the Dark God’s massive white bone, fragmented bones flying in all directions. This scene left all beings dumbfounded, including the followers of the Dark Divine Sect.

They had already estimated Gu An as highly as possible, after all, Gu An could advance, holding his head high under the Dark God’s pressure. They had expected a stunningly fierce battle but did not anticipate Gu An shattering the Dark God’s white bone with just one sword.

Could the Dark God be testing him?

All beings harbored such thoughts. In past years, the Dark Heavenly God established an invincible and powerful image, his worshipped Dark God could not possibly be weak. Based on this, none of them believed the Dark God had truly been defeated.

The Demon Emperor turned to look, gazing at the fragments of bone scattered across the sky, stunned.

The Dark Heavenly God turned to look too, sharing the same thoughts as other beings, believing the Dark God was intentionally testing Gu An, thus he did not panic.

Gu An raised his hand and pulled, Li Ya’s treasure sword traced a perfect arc in the air, landing before Li Ya.

The sword blade plunged into the sacrificial platform’s ground, continually vibrating.

Unlike other beings, Li Ya believed the Dark God was truly dead.

He looked at his sword, never imagining his sword to be so powerful.

The sword just now lacked sword intent and sword qi, giving him a sense of the Great Dao’s simplicity.

The sacrificial platform fell into silence.

After a few breaths, slowly, some began to realize something was off.

Could the Dark God really be dead?

This speculation sparked hope in more and more beings, while the Dark Divine Sect’s side found it unbelievable.

They worshiped the power of darkness, in their minds, the Dark God was the strongest, omnipotent, how could he be killed by a single sword?

That sword was swift but…

This completely contradicted their expectations of a great battle.

The Dark Heavenly God came back to his senses too, realizing something was wrong, wanting to move away, but an extremely terrifying power suppressed him, rendering him immobile.

He looked at Gu An in horror, Gu An kept walking towards him.

The sacrificial platform remained silent, but all beings watched Gu An, his footsteps seemed to echo in their ears, pounding on their hearts, strong and powerful, striking at their spirits and souls.

Gu An walked step by step towards the Dark Heavenly God, bringing boundless fear to him.

He deliberately walked slowly, and as time passed, the Dark God never reappearing, made more and more beings begin to believe the Dark God was truly dead.

He died abruptly, without any resistance.

If they hadn’t previously felt the terrifying pressure of the Dark God, they might suspect the Dark Divine Sect to be a lie, and the so-called Dark God not worth mentioning.

But now…

Their hearts were filled with infinite shock and reverence.

Who was this person?

Why was he so powerful?

The disciples of Wushi were even more excited, standing up and looking at Gu An from afar, not daring to disturb him.

Other beings also gradually realized the Dark God’s pressure was gone. They could stand up, and when they did, no one spoke, nor did anyone leave, still standing quietly in place, waiting.

Gu An walked past the Demon Emperor, getting closer and closer to the Dark Heavenly God.

The Demon Emperor’s gaze followed Gu An, as did the gaze of the True Monarch Qitian.

In the True Monarch Qitian’s eyes, Gu An was dazzling, emanating an unprecedented aura.

This was the person he should become!

Though the True Monarch Qitian did not know Gu An, at this moment, he developed an extreme sense of reverence and aspiration towards Gu An.

Not only because Gu An was strong, but also because Gu An appeared so timely, at such an awe-inspiring moment.

The thoughts of the spectators transmitted into Gu An’s ears, but he did not care.

He arrived in front of the Dark Heavenly God, his gaze cold.

An unimaginable force of suppression made the Dark Heavenly God kneel directly, kneeling before Gu An, a scene that made all beings’ hearts jump.

Because they realized the deep significance of the Dark Heavenly God’s kneeling.

It heralds the end of the catastrophe brought by the Dark Divine Sect, and the myth of darkness would become a joke.

The heavens seemed to favor them, and the black clouds in the sky scattered, sunlight pouring down, driving away the darkness in the Human World.

“Who… are you… why…”

The Dark Heavenly God asked through gritted teeth, his face shrouded in dark energy, not revealing his true visage.

Gu An looked down at him, said: “It seems you are insignificant within the Dark Heavenly Court, merely pawns placed outside.”

He had already been to the Heaven-Suppressing Endless Tower, and the speed of the Heaven-Suppressing Endless Tower had slowed considerably, indicating the Emperor Bone Profound Venerable hesitated greatly. Given this situation, the Dark God dared to come.

It was evident that the Dark God was not worthy of mention in the eyes of the Emperor Bone Profound Venerable.

Not only the Dark God but other dark beings placed into the Heavenly Dao were also the same, mere pawns to the Emperor Bone Profound Venerable.

The Dark Heavenly God trembled upon hearing Gu An utter the words Dark Heavenly Court, lowering his head gradually.
