Chapter 1090: Chapter 1081: A Silent Fall

No matter how desperate the Saint Venerable of Punishment was, he had no means of struggle.

He seemed welded onto the table, weak and helpless.

Zhou Qiao did not notice the person appearing on the table, because the Saint Venerable of Punishment was truly too small and was blocked by Gu An’s bowl.

Only the Great Profound Yin Dominator noticed, which was why he felt absurd.

A dignified Saint died in such a disgraceful manner, and even without anyone knowing.

What exactly was the difference in cultivation between the Saint Venerable of Punishment and Gu An?

Zhou Qiao continued talking about his past, but the Great Profound Yin Dominator had no interest in listening anymore.

He looked at the dying Saint Venerable of Punishment on the table, recalling the scenes of their previous meetings.

Back then, the Saint Venerable of Punishment was so powerful, full of vigor, and did not even regard other Saints.

He found it difficult to see the then Saint Venerable of Punishment as the same person now lying on the table.

The Saint Venerable of Punishment on the table seemed to recognize the Great Profound Yin Dominator, his gaze fixed on him with an imploring look, even though the Great Profound Yin Dominator used to dislike him, now there was unexpectedly a feeling of pity in his heart.

Beyond that, there was also a sense of shared fate, feeling like the fox mourning the death of the hare.

His Dao Practice was not even as good as the Saint Venerable of Punishment, if Gu An wanted to kill him, he would meet the same fate.

As the old woman came over with a wooden basin, the Great Profound Yin Dominator saw Gu An raise his hand and wipe the table, and with this wipe, the Saint Venerable of Punishment disappeared on the spot.

This…

The heart of the Great Profound Yin Dominator shook, he could no longer feel the Saint Venerable of Punishment’s presence, nor any traces of cause and effect.

Meanwhile, a prompt appeared before Gu An’s eyes.

[You have successfully seized 1,367,005,712,223,000,000,581,476 years of life span from the Saint Venerable of Punishment (Mid-stage of Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm)]

A long string of numbers!

But for a Saint, no matter how large the number of years seized, it was reasonable!

Gu An’s gaze looked beyond the chaos, locking onto the Saint Venerable of Punishment’s Dao Universe.

As the Saint Venerable of Punishment completely perished, the cause and effect of his Dao Universe began to collapse, the Great Dao sank into oblivion, and the Dao Universe quickly fell into silence.

The All Living Beings in the Dao Universe were still there, but without the protection of its destiny and rules, this Dao Universe would eventually be devoured by other powerful entities.

“Wipe your hands.”

The old woman came to Gu An’s side with the basin, smiling kindly, inside the basin was warm water and a not-so-dirty old towel.

Gu An did not refuse, nodded with a smile, then took out the old towel and began wiping his hands.

The Great Profound Yin Dominator kept his eyes on Gu An’s hand, his emotions indescribable.

A dignified Saint, dying so quietly like that?

Could the Saint Venerable of Punishment not actually be dead?

The Great Profound Yin Dominator always thought that Saints wouldn’t die so easily, perhaps Gu An only suppressed him, saying this just to scare him.

He decided to observe more in the future.

…

In the Celestial Court, with the Celestial Emperor’s return, the chaos that had lasted for a hundred days finally ended, the Celestial Emperor suppressed everything with absolute power, wiping out anomalies as if sweeping away fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Only a few corrupted Immortal Gods survived, including Martial Resolution.

At this moment, the Celestial Emperor moved those surviving anomalies into the Palace of the Polestar, and several hundred Lingxiao Daoists had not yet left, watching coldly at those anomalies kneeling in the hall.

Li Ya looked at Martial Resolution, frowning deeply, feeling very distraught, hesitating whether to speak up for Martial Resolution.

An Xin also recognized Martial Resolution, but she was not worried, for Martial Resolution being able to survive indicated that her master was already making efforts.

The Celestial Emperor gazed coldly at the dozens of anomalies kneeling in the hall and slowly said, “This is the means of the Saints, pervasive and undefendable.”

Under his will, the Lingxiao Daoists could see another strong cause and effect on Martial Resolution and other Immortal Gods, a cause and effect not inferior to the Heavenly Dao.

Another Saint!

The Lingxiao Daoists began whispering, discussing the Saint’s cause and effect.

Compared to this, they were more concerned about the outcome of the battle between the Celestial Emperor and the Saint Venerable of Punishment.

The Celestial Emperor had returned, but the Saint Venerable of Punishment had not, indicating the Celestial Emperor had won.

However, the Celestial Emperor said that Saints are immortal and will come back someday.

They could discern that the cause and effect aura on Martial Resolution and other Immortal Gods did not belong to the Saint Venerable of Punishment, meaning two Saints were currently eyeing the Heavenly Dao, not good news.

Martial Resolution’s face was ashen, not feeling much upon being brought to the Palace of the Polestar, prepared to calmly accept punishment.

But he never imagined Li Ya and An Xin would be here, making him wish he could find a hole to crawl into, more unbearable than death.

“Do you still believe in the so-called Luoxu Saint Dao? He watches you being killed, sees you suffer, in his eyes, what role do you think you play?”

The Celestial Emperor glared at Martial Resolution and the Immortal Gods, asking coldly.

The dozen or so Immortal Gods knelt on the ground, all dejected.

Xuanqing Star Lord sighed slightly at Martial Resolution, then stepped forward, saluted the Celestial Emperor, and said, “Your Majesty, this humble Daoist believes that despite their sins, they have not actually harmed the Celestial Court, and their mental lost facing the hope of becoming stronger is understandable. Suppressing them completely would lead other wavering Immortal Gods down a dark path.” The source of thɪs content is NoveI★Fire.net

The other Lingxiao Daoists remained silent; they were not familiar with these Immortal Gods and had no intention to plead.

The Celestial Emperor nodded slightly, saying, “Let them reflect on their mistakes for a thousand years.”

A thousand years?

The Lingxiao Daoists discussing the Saint’s cause and effect couldn’t help but look over, wondering what kind of punishment this was?

Martial Resolution and the other Immortal Gods were equally shocked, unable to believe the Celestial Emperor.

The Celestial Emperor continued, “These things will happen again. In the future, your Immortal Positions will be transferred into the Heavenly Prison, so you can persuade those Immortal Gods who have gone astray.”

Hearing this, the dozen or so Immortal Gods looked at each other in dismay.

Xuanqing Star Lord hurriedly said, “Aren’t you going to thank the Emperor?”

The Immortal Gods came to their senses and quickly kowtowed in thanks to the Celestial Emperor.

The Celestial Emperor waved his sleeve, removing the invisible constraints from them, and let them retreat.

The Immortal Gods rose and left; Martial Resolution dared not look at Li Ya and An Xin, lowering his head as he departed.

After they had left, the Celestial Emperor continued, “I plan to establish a Holy Pillar in the Thirtieth Heaven, leaving behind the Holy Dao. You will have three chances to comprehend it, each time for ten thousand years. To go again, you will need to exchange opportunities based on contributions to the Heavenly Dao.”

Hearing this, the Daoists were overjoyed and immediately thanked the Celestial Emperor.

“Except for the Xuanqing Star Lord, you may disperse.”

The Celestial Emperor issued an order to disperse the guests; the Daoists had no objections, as they also needed time to contemplate their insights from this period.

When only the Celestial Emperor and Xuanqing Star Lord remained in the Palace of the Polestar, Xuanqing Star Lord looked at the Celestial Emperor, curiosity written on his face, wondering what the Celestial Emperor would instruct.

At that moment, the Celestial Emperor’s face turned pale, holy blood began to ooze from the corners of his mouth, he raised his hands, began cultivating energy, and his momentum dissipated instantly, becoming weak.

This startled Xuanqing Star Lord, who carefully asked, “Your Majesty, what happened to you?”

The Celestial Emperor looked at him, saying quietly, “The Saint Venerable of Punishment’s divine skills were vast, I narrowly won, leaving me with indelible injuries; I’m afraid my Saint Realm is difficult to maintain, and I can only trust you, so I need you to do some things for me.”
