Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 534 - 531: Legend, Extinguished by One Hand

Chapter 534: Chapter 531: Legend, Extinguished by One Hand

Upon hearing An Xin’s words, Gu An pulled the Fate Pen that was tucked at his waist and handed it to An Xin.

An Xin was stunned, holding the Fate Pen and looking at Gu An with confusion.

She’d seen Gu An carry this pen often and was accustomed to its presence, yet since she had not felt any fluctuations of Spiritual Power from the Fate Pen, she never thought of it as a Magical Treasure.

“You can use it for now, and I will refine a Magical Treasure for you later,” Gu An said, his gaze fixed on Lv Xian, his tone casual.

Having been with Gu An for a long time, An Xin wouldn’t hold back her questions, and she quickly asked, “But how do I use this?”

As she spoke, she lifted the Fate Pen in her hand and waved it through the air, but there wasn’t even ink.

...

“When you encounter someone who must be killed, it will show its power,” Gu An answered, which made An Xin look forward to using the Fate Pen.

She knew that Gu An wouldn’t play tricks on her; this pen was surely powerful.

She immediately bowed in respect and then left with the Fate Pen.

Gu An turned his head to watch An Xin, his eyes filled with profound meaning.

Having helped people like Yi Qingshan and others for so long, she had gradually become accustomed to it. Although it had not affected her own cultivation, in her heart, Yi Qingshan and the others were like her disciples. Not all relationships in the world were perfect.

Should there come a day when Yi Qingshan and the rest pass away, she hoped she wouldn’t take it too hard.

However, this was also an inevitable experience for those on the path of immortal cultivation; it couldn’t be said to be good or bad, but experiencing all human emotions could shape one’s Dao Heart.

After An Xin had left, Lv Xian opened his eyes and asked, “Master, what exactly is this Divine Skill? It doesn’t seem like a Divine Skill, it’s very mysterious, and even though I am cultivating, I can’t clearly describe its profound mysteries.”

After entering the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, Lv Xian started to address Gu An as master, and Gu An did not refuse since their relationship hadn’t reached the level of brotherhood before.

Gu An looked up at the Celestial Vault and said, “Indeed, it’s not a Divine Skill. Once you master it, you will understand what it is. It will help you dominate this part of the Human World.”

Upon hearing this, Lv Xian instinctively asked, “Just this part of the Human World?”

Gu An turned his head towards him, his smile ambiguous, and said, “Can your eyes contain the entire Human World?”

Lv Xian was taken aback and could only offer an awkward smile.

Gu An’s gaze drifted into the distance, his face revealing a look of anticipation.

It was finally coming to an end!

…

Under the vast sky, peaks were emerging from the sea of clouds, and atop one of these mountains stood Li Ya, Sword Annihilation Ancestor, and Silent Destruction God Emperor side by side.

Li Ya looked towards the Silent Destruction God Emperor and asked, “Senior, since you are about to leave, can you not reveal your true identity?”

During the years of teachings from the Silent Destruction God Emperor, his reverence for him had only deepened.

He even felt that the Silent Destruction God Emperor was not weaker than Gu An.

With guidance from the Divine Emperor, he had not only mastered one Divine Skill but also gained a deeper understanding of the path to cultivation.

Once, when the Silent Destruction God Emperor was away, he secretly asked Sword Annihilation Ancestor just how formidable the Divine Emperor was.

Sword Annihilation Ancestor had said something that he couldn’t forget.

“Apart from Heavenly Dao, he is the strongest.”

He had asked at the time, how did he compare to the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable?

Sword Annihilation Ancestor just shook his head and said nothing.

Afterwards, Li Ya clearly felt that Sword Annihilation Ancestor had become even more respectful toward Silent Destruction God Emperor and he suspected the ancestor might have pledged allegiance to the Silent Destruction God Emperor as his master.

He dared not ask too much; after all, before he became a disciple, Sword Annihilation Ancestor had mentioned that he bore a Great Cause and Effect, and he didn’t want to bear this burden prematurely.

“When you become powerful enough to roam the world invincibly, and have set foot in Outer Heaven, living a carefree life, you will learn of my legend,” the Silent Destruction God Emperor said, looking into the distance, his tone completely calm without a trace of emotion.

What a poser!

Li Ya thought to himself, yet he longed for such an attitude.

How many more years would he have to cultivate before he could speak such words with confidence?

Sword Annihilation Ancestor followed, saying, “I will do my best to train him to that level.”

“It doesn’t matter,” the Silent Destruction God Emperor said. “I don’t care how high his achievements will be in the future. The Divine Skills have been imparted, and we are clear of debt and responsibility.”

With those words, the Silent Destruction God Emperor stepped forward, his footsteps landing in the air as if an invisible path lay beneath his feet.

Before Li Ya could even begin to marvel at the Silent Destruction God Emperor’s dominance, suddenly, a figure appeared before them.

Slap!

A hand pressed down on the Silent Destruction God Emperor’s shoulder, rendering him immobile.

The pupils of the Silent Destruction God Emperor suddenly contracted, and in an instant, his face was shrouded in dark energy. Dark armor enshrouded him, as he transformed into his true form.

Even so, he was horrified to discover that he couldn’t break free.

The mysterious palm on his shoulder suppressed his Dao Fruit, halting everything within his Dao Fruit World.

Both Li Ya and the Sword Annihilation Ancestor were startled by the sudden appearance of the figure. The Sword Annihilation Ancestor wanted to speak, but an extreme terror pressed down upon him, leaving him unable to move or speak.

Li Ya also experienced the suppression, but he wasn’t panicked, because the figure of the newcomer was forever unforgettable to him.

It was the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable!

No!

It was Gu An, using the Demon Shadow Divine Skill!

Wrapped in dark purple Demonic Qi, Gu An looked even more sinister than the Silent Destruction God Emperor. He stood at the edge of a cliff, a single hand pressing down the Silent Destruction God Emperor suspended in mid-air, preventing him from advancing further.

All of heaven and earth seemed to quiet at once.

“Your legend?” Gu An’s voice rose, and his right hand squeezed. The Silent Destruction God Emperor was annihilated in an instant, turning into a wisp of black Qi, which then condensed in Gu An’s palm.

The powerful Silent Destruction God Emperor was completely defenseless in Gu An’s grasp.

Seeing the Silent Destruction God Emperor being annihilated instantly, both Li Ya and the Sword Annihilation Ancestor’s eyes widened.

Gu An turned his head. Although they couldn’t see his face clearly, Li Ya and the Sword Annihilation Ancestor felt as if they were being seen through, especially the Sword Annihilation Ancestor, who was extremely fearful.

A voice echoed in the Sword Annihilation Ancestor’s mind: “You shall not utter a single word about today’s events.”

With the voice’s fall, Gu An vanished into thin air.

As he disappeared, the terrifying suppressive force also vanished.

The Sword Annihilation Ancestor felt like a great weight had been lifted, but he was still shaking with residual fear.

Li Ya stood still on the spot.

The words of the Silent Destruction God Emperor still echoed in his ears.

Go to Outer Heaven to hear his legend…

The legend, could it be extinguished by Gu An…

With a mere hand?

Li Ya was caught in a shock. Only a moment ago, he had been inwardly convinced that the Silent Destruction God Emperor was the only one who could possibly be stronger than Gu An.

And yet Gu An had appeared and extinguished the Silent Destruction God Emperor…

At this moment, he even harbored a ridiculous suspicion.

Could it be that Gu An had heard his inner thoughts, and that’s why he appeared?

Then, he dismissed this suspicion, thinking himself foolish to come up with such an absurd reason.

He began to feel confused. What enmity did Gu An have with the Silent Destruction God Emperor?

He turned his head to look at the Sword Annihilation Ancestor, and his expression changed accordingly. After so many years together, he had never seen the Sword Annihilation Ancestor show such a look.

Fear, despair, relief, nervousness, and more…

Seeing the Sword Annihilation Ancestor with such a complex and troubled expression, Li Ya felt as if something inside him had shattered.

How could the master he revered be less formidable than Junior Brother Gu?

He suddenly felt lost.
