Chapter 874: Chapter 866: This Is Not Important

Only Gu An discovered Li Ya’s enlightenment; An Xin, who was in the midst of battle, naturally had no way to pay attention below, while Li Ya’s disciples were captivated by the battle above.

After several hours passed, they finally were drawn by Li Ya’s sudden enlightenment state.

As the duration of the sudden enlightenment grew longer, Li Ya began to unconsciously affect the surrounding spiritual energy and even the rules of heaven and earth. This caused strange phenomena to appear around him, with clusters of glowing green lotuses emerging from the ground and enveloping him.

“What is this?”

“Is the Master practicing?”

“No, the Master has entered a state of selflessness; it looks like he’s in enlightenment?”

“Indeed, Master is in sudden enlightenment. Truly, despite experiencing failure, he can quickly rally. This is exactly what we must learn.”

All the disciples grew excited. Li Ya was not only their master but had also saved their lives. Even if Li Ya was defeated, it would not affect his image and status in their hearts. Seeing their master in sudden enlightenment, they genuinely felt happy for him.

The battle between An Xin and the red-robed man continued.

For Li Ya, this time of sudden enlightenment felt like a trance. When he regained consciousness, he instinctively looked up; the great battle in the sky was still ongoing, but the celestial vault was no longer bright, replaced by an infinite starry sky.

Dozens of Golden Crows were besieging An Xin, which was why the heavens seemed to be like broad daylight.

In the depths of the starry sky, countless purple eyes appeared, densely packed like a myriad of stars.

Li Ya snapped back to reality and asked, “How long has this battle been going on?”

The process of his sudden enlightenment was blurry in his memory, but he could keenly feel that a certain amount of time had passed.

“Master, it has been seven days.”

The disciple beside Li Ya answered, looking at him with eyes full of anticipation.

A session of enlightenment left Li Ya’s demeanor more detached and otherworldly; not only that, the injuries on his body seemed to have healed, even the blood scabs had fallen off, leaving his skin as white as jade, as if imbued with an immortal’s flawless skin and bones, though his robe was tattered and ragged.

In those seven days, watching Li Ya’s transformation filled the disciples with infinite hope. Even if the person in heaven could not defeat the enemy, they believed the master could turn the tide.

“Seven days, huh?”

Li Ya murmured to himself. He could feel that his mana had been restored; this feeling was wondrous, leaving him with endless aftertaste.

However, even in a restored state, he was no match for those two in the sky; all he could do was continue to watch.

After his enlightenment, although his strength did not improve significantly, his senses and insight underwent a qualitative change.

He discovered that a vast mana enveloped the earth, protecting them from the battle’s impact.

However…

This mana was like that of the red-robed man, making him feel cold.

He initially thought it was Gu An shielding the heavens and earth, but now it seemed not to be the case.

Behind the red-robed man, there was an even stronger presence!

Li Ya’s heart was filled with confusion. Why didn’t these evil demons just kill them outright but chose to protect them?

In his eyes, the evil demons rampaging across the heavens and earth were undoubtedly intertwined with the Celestial Court.

Li Ya couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to think about it since this battle was no longer something he could intervene in.

He might as well reflect on his previous experiences, striving for a leap in strength after this battle.

Rather than being protected by Gu An, he would rather rely on his power to shield his disciples.

After seven days of fighting, An Xin and the red-robed man’s momentum had not diminished. Both were Innate Golden Immortals, possessing immense mana. Seven days were nothing; they could battle for another seven million years without issue.

But both had extraordinary comprehension; they could make progress in battle, searching for the opponent’s weaknesses. Their attacks became increasingly frightening, and they began to hurt each other.

Since practicing the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, An Xin had never felt such an urgent sense of threat, even somewhat powerless.

Her Immortal Emperor’s Eye could not prevail against the opponent!

The Immortal Emperor’s Eye was her greatest reliance; should it be defeated, she would be inevitably doomed.

As An Xin’s mind wavered, a figure suddenly appeared before her and reached for her eyes.

An Xin’s pupils contracted; she had no time to react, only witnessing the hand reaching out to her.

Everything happened too fast!

Snap!

Another hand suddenly appeared, grabbing the hand in front of An Xin.

Gu An appeared beside An Xin; both stopped, as did the red-robed man in the distance poised to attack. His expression was extremely grim as he gazed at the mysterious elder before Gu An and An Xin.

The mysterious elder, who aimed to seize An Xin’s Immortal Emperor’s Eye, was clad in a dark purple robe. Though his form was human-like, his head was that of a black crow, wearing a dignified and imposing headpiece, like the embodiment of extreme evil, exuding a chilling aura.

Gu An saw through the origins of this mysterious elder with a glance.

One of the Primordial Ancestors from the Dark Heavenly Court’s Golden Crow Clan, known as the Black Fall Emperor!

The Black Fall Emperor was a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal. He had been observing the battle all along but had not detected Gu An’s presence. So, when Gu An appeared, he was quite shocked, his eyes bewildered.

With An Xin and the red-robed man ceasing their battle, the dharma aspect permeating the universe rapidly dissipated. Only the distant void continued to twist, flames burning endlessly, all symbolic of the fierce battle that had occurred.

The void fell silent in an instant.

Seeing the appearance of Gu An and the Black Fall Emperor, Li Ya immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew Gu An would intervene, the moment Black Fall Emperor took action, that terrifying aura also made his hair stand on end. Even with Gu An’s presence, there was no hint of aura revealed. If not for seeing Gu An’s figure with his own eyes, he would not have known that Gu An had made a move.

Gu An released the Black Fall Emperor’s hand.

The Black Fall Emperor did not immediately act; he stared intently at Gu An and asked in a deep voice, “Which fellow Daoist intends to intervene in this matter?”

Even with Gu An right in front of him, he couldn’t see Gu An’s face, causing his vigilance to reach its peak.

This person’s cultivation level was likely above his!

Yet within the Heavenly Dao, of those stronger than him, he had seen or heard of them to some degree, but it was the first time he experienced Gu An’s aura.

It was peaceful and tranquil without a hint of threat, yet upon closer examination, it invoked a deeply unfathomable sense of dread.

Gu An calmly said, “The juniors’ battle—if we intervene—it would be against the rules, wouldn’t it?”

Upon hearing this, the Black Fall Emperor’s heart raced like lightning, beginning to weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Rationality told him not to act against this person, for even if he had a chance to win, the commotion would undoubtedly alarm the Celestial Court.

“Let it go; it doesn’t matter.”

Gu An sighed and followed with a wave of his sleeve.

His movement was too swift; the Black Fall Emperor, like An Xin before, had no time to respond, only feeling a strong breeze blowing towards him.

As a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, the Black Fall Emperor directly turned to dust before Gu An.

The red-robed man froze; he hadn’t reacted in time and couldn’t comprehend what had happened.
