Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 778 - 770: Summoning the Dark God

Chapter 778 -770: Summoning the Dark God

Amidst the void, a gigantic golden disc was advancing, and upon it, a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers sat meditating and cultivating.

Zhang Buku opened his eyes, gazing towards the mysterious and beautiful end of the void. His thoughts drifted as he reminisced about the previous great battle.

As the struggle for the Son of Heaven grew increasingly fierce, this Celestial Army had already experienced no fewer than a hundred great battles. However, that last battle left him in awe.

Since joining the Celestial Court, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of disdain for the Three Thousand Great Worlds because many powerful realms existed beyond them.

He had never imagined that a Great Thousand World could nurture an existence that even Immortal Gods couldn’t subdue.

Recalling how the Celestial Calming God was forcefully suppressed with the entire Celestial Army being helpless, he felt that his path was still long.

He couldn’t help but think of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable from the Celestial Spirit Great World. Could that Sword Venerable also possess the ability to surpass the Celestial Gods?

“Still thinking about the previous battle? Such Great Thousand Worlds are rare. If it weren’t for the struggle for the Son of Heaven, they wouldn’t have surfaced to meddle in cause and effect.”

Xu You, sitting beside Zhang Buku, spoke up. He didn’t seem surprised by the previous battle.

Zhang Buku glanced at him and asked, “By now, the struggle for the Son of Heaven has fully erupted, and you still won’t reveal your origins?”

Smiling, Xu You replied, “If you are still alive after the struggle for the Son of Heaven ends, I will tell you.”

“Could it be that you are also a Son of Heaven?” Zhang Buku sneered.

Xu You retorted with annoyance, “Some things should not be said carelessly. Cangtian above might just bestow Celestial Punishment upon you.”

Instinctively, Zhang Buku raised his eyes. Although he didn’t show fear, his sudden silence clearly reflected his apprehension towards Cangtian.

Looking ahead, Xu You continued, “This struggle for the Son of Heaven is more chaotic than I anticipated. I have a feeling that a great upheaval will occur later.”

“What kind of upheaval?”

“You’ll understand in due course. What is certain is that the first decisive battle of the struggle for the Son of Heaven will arrive soon.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Xu You’s expression rarefied, revealing a look of dread in his eyes, which made Zhang Buku even more curious about what would happen next.

Since becoming a Heavenly Soldier, Zhang Buku had experienced death many times and always revived, making him increasingly fearless, merely admiring the enemies’ might.

The struggle for the Son of Heaven was already intense enough, and yet the first decisive battle had not occurred?

Both worried and excited about the future, Zhang Buku eagerly anticipated the upcoming earth-shattering battles.

…

Time flew by swiftly, and a million years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Celestial Spirit Great World had been mostly shrouded by the Dark Divine Sect. Viewed from the universe, the Celestial Dao Light Layer above the Celestial Spirit Great World was largely tainted black, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Over the years, the nine Major Sects combined forces to attack the Dark Divine Sect several times, but in the great war a century ago, the nine Major Sects were heavily defeated and could no longer fight, retreating to their individual mountain gates, causing the Human World to become much more desolate.

With no Major Sect leading the charge, fewer beings dared to oppose the Dark Divine Sect, resulting in the Mortal Spirits continuing to suffer, while the number of Dark Divine Sect followers grew day by day.

On a continent known as the Dark Holy Land, the Dark Divine Sect had built an enormous sacrificial altar, a hundred feet tall with a diameter of over a hundred miles. The altar’s edges were lined with stone pillars, each binding Great Cultivators and Great Demons, all shackled, their arms stretched wide, barely clinging to life.

In the center of the altar, thousands of Dark Divine Sect followers gathered, with the Demon Emperor and True Monarch Qitian also present, having joined the Dark Divine Sect after being rescued by the Dark Heavenly God.

All followers looked in the same direction, where the Dark Heavenly God, shrouded in black smoke, stood with his back to them, gazing up at the sky.

“Will the Dark God really descend?”

True Monarch Qitian used the Sound Transmission Technique to ask the Demon Emperor beside him, his tone nervous.

The Dark Heavenly God was already the most powerful existence he had ever seen, seemingly omnipotent. Such a being was merely a servant of the Dark God, making it hard to imagine the extent of the Dark God’s power.

The Demon Emperor, gazing ahead, replied through the Sound Transmission Technique, “By now, you should believe in the Dark God’s existence. What you should be considering now is how the Dark God will treat us once he descends.”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Qitian furrowed his brows.

After being infused with dark power, they did become stronger, but they were also aware of the negative effects of the dark power.

They became more irritable, greedy, and filled with suspicion.

The creator of such a power that invoked so many negative emotions was certainly no benevolent being.

At the same time.

On the edge of the continent, above a sea of clouds, stood more than a dozen people observing the altar. These were all Wushiji Disciples, led by Celestial Demon Child and Tian Bai. Tian Bai held the White Spirit Exquisite Tower, which emitted a faint light, concealing their presence and hiding their cause and effect.

“Is the Dark Divine Sect really going to summon the Dark God?”

“What can we do? The current Dark Divine Sect is already invincible. If the Dark God descends, won’t it be the end for us all?”

“Even Ancestor Master Lv isn’t a match for the Dark Heavenly God. We have no means at all.”

“In this world, perhaps only our Ancestor has the hope of defeating the Dark Heavenly God. But we can’t expect him to act. He’s already protected the Human World many times.”

The Wushiji Disciples discussed among themselves, most of them being fourth-generation disciples who had participated in many battles against the Dark Divine Sect.

Celestial Demon Child did not join their conversation. She stared intently into the distance, hesitating about whether to retreat.

Their Dao Treasures had all been strengthened by Gu An, which allowed them to infiltrate. But no matter how powerful the Dao Treasures were, their effectiveness depended on the user’s cultivation level. They couldn’t rely on Dao Treasures alone to annihilate the Dark Divine Sect.

Celestial Demon Child turned her gaze in another direction, sensing many powerful auras approaching. The news of the Dark Divine Sect preparing to summon the Dark God had spread across the world, naturally attracting those righteous individuals who, despite the risk of their lives and spirits being extinguished, would do their utmost to stop them.

Even though the combined might of the nine Major Sects couldn’t shake the Dark Divine Sect, could these incoming Great Cultivators turn the tide?

Rumble—

The ground trembled as a massive pillar of black light erupted from the distant altar, shooting skyward, shaking the celestial vault and clouds, as if connecting to an exotic world.

Seeing this, the Wushiji Disciples grew more agitated, repeatedly asking Celestial Demon Child if they should act.

They knew it would be nearly impossible to combat the Dark Divine Sect, but those who dared to come had long put life and death aside. Witnessing the Dark Divine Sect attempting to summon the Dark God, they could no longer hold back.

“What’s the rush!”

Celestial Demon Child shouted sternly, causing the disciples to fall silent in fright.

A sword light streaked across the celestial vault above them, disappearing into the depths of the continent in the blink of an eye.

“It’s him…”

Celestial Demon Child raised an eyebrow, suddenly understanding why Gu An valued him so highly. Even from afar, where she stood, she could see that despite being alone, he dared to face challenges head-on.

The figure within that sword light was none other than the foremost Sword Cultivator of this world, Li Ya!
