Chapter 812 804: Final End, Illuminating the Heavens
In the early morning, the sunlight pierced through the earth. Gu An, dressed in a close-fitting white robe, walked out of the pavilion, stretching lazily under the bright sun.
“Today is another day full of hope.”
Gu An sincerely sighed, harboring thoughts of a major breakthrough, an event awaited for millions of years and his happiest day, full of excitement.
Even though he tried to remind himself that he was already a person of Great Power and should not be so excited, he couldn’t help it.
After thinking about it, which cultivator facing a breakthrough could remain calm?
Moreover, compared to others, Gu An had more confidence. He even felt that he would surely succeed in breaking through, and with such a mentality, he naturally felt more excited.
Shen Zhen glanced at Gu An from in front of the Artifact Refining Cauldron, without making a sound, she closed her eyes and continued practicing.
After strolling in the courtyard for a while, Gu An left.
He walked into the woods along the mountain path, activating the Lifespan Breakthrough Function as he walked.
[You have activated the Lifespan Breakthrough Function. Based on your current realm, select the following breakthrough location]
[1. Primal Harmony of Chaos]
[2. Sea of Descent]
[3. Holy Heart Path]
[4. Rulai Star]
[5. Dao Qinglian Tree]
[6. Great Dream Lost Realm]
[7. Boundless Yin Yang Inverted Realm]
[8. Final End]
[9. Demon God Lake]
So many new place names!
This means that previously common places cannot give birth to existences higher than Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal.
Gu An weighed the options, as some of the place names sounded dangerous.
However, the Lifespan Breakthrough can send him to relatively safe places, at least temporarily, as long as he promptly activates the Life Span Barrier.
In such a case, Gu An wanted to choose the broadest place possible.
Gu An’s gaze fell on the Final End. This place name had appeared before, and the combination of the words “final” and “end” made his imagination run wild.
Does the Great Dao truly have an end?
Is there really an ultimate to the years?
Or is it just a name without any significant meaning?
The Final End should be very vast, right?
After much thought, Gu An decided to take a look.
[Transporting to the Final End requires consuming 10,000,000,000 years of life span. Do you wish to continue?]
Continue!
Despite reaching such a level, the transportation cost of lifespan breakthrough remains unchanged, which is quite fair.
A long-lost dizziness hit him, making Gu An close his eyes.
After a while.
Gu An abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracted. In his sight was a dark red void, endless, with barren stars of all sizes floating around. As far as the eye could see, dark clouds seemed to be swirling at the end of the void, everything was so oppressive.
He immediately activated the Life Span Barrier. As the lifespan barrier consumption prompt appeared in front of him, he relaxed.
After activating the barrier, he seriously observed the Final End.
He discovered the Dao Spiritual Qi surging here was different from the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao and Chaos, filled with an agitating aura, but he had to admit, the Dao Spiritual Qi here was stronger.
He turned around to look in all directions, but he couldn’t see the supposed end in any direction.
As expected, the Final End is just a gimmick!
Gu An was secretly disappointed. Just then, his gaze fell on a corner of the void. He saw a star slowly condensing, growing larger, resembling a barren meteor, with no vegetation, no vitality.
As his gaze concentrated on the star, endless cause and effect scenes poured into his eyes.
This star surprisingly symbolized a Great Thousand World, a world containing millions of small worlds, with countless mortal worlds like Earth.
However, such a magnificent Great Thousand World no longer existed; it was a mark left after destruction.
Gu An immediately looked at other barren stars. Not only the Great Thousand Worlds, but also powerful Daoist Lineages, Cosmic Planes, Dao Domains, etc., were all marks left after being destroyed.
He even saw a type of destiny, similar to the destiny of Daoist Emperors and Primordial Dao Emperors. The destiny star conveyed multitude scenes of cause and effect, where countless cultivators pursued this destiny, dominating and spirited, but ultimately fell with its dissipation.
This kind of destiny, he had never felt on the Path of the Great Dao, but seeing its peak, it was definitely not comparable to Daoist Emperors and Primordial Dao Emperors.
Hongmeng Venerable!
Gu An secretly noted the name of this destiny; perhaps someone still remembered its existence.
Now, Gu An could understand what the Final End was, a place independent of Chaos and the Heavenly Dao. From here, one couldn’t feel the direction of Chaos and the Heavenly Dao, but whether Chaos or the Heavenly Dao, the mighty things after extinction left marks here.
Gu An couldn’t understand why the Final End formed as it did. The Three Thousand Great Daos is just a term, in reality, the Great Daos are innumerable, always with unknown Dao Rules existing.
But he knew one thing: this place could give birth to existences surpassing the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal!
What an unimaginably terrifying existence could be born in such a negative and oppressive place?
Gu An suddenly felt that the Heavenly Dao was small, and even Chaos couldn’t represent everything.
Perhaps the Celestial Emperor immersing himself in reincarnation wasn’t indulgence, but searching for an opportunity to break into a higher realm.
Gu An took a deep breath, meditating where he was, floating in the void, as if there was invisible land beneath him.
First, enhance the physique!
Last time upgrading the physique consumed five trillion years of lifespan, not seeming much, but compared to last time, it was more than a hundredfold increase.
If this time also increased a hundredfold, it would be five hundred trillion years of lifespan. This number was quite terrifying.
Gu An invested lifespan into the physique, one amount after another. Soon, the investment exceeded five trillion years of lifespan.
Finally, he spent 1.2 quadrillion years of lifespan, and his physique ascended to the Creation Essence Body!
This was already equivalent to his lifespan consumption when he last broke through a Great Realm!
Gu An didn’t have time to grieve the life-consuming physique upgrade before an unprecedentedly vast creation flooded into his mind.
…
Profound Abyss Divine Pool.
Gu An’s avatar and Hongya Zi walked on the wasteland, he walked ahead, Hongya Zi followed behind.
Hongya Zi held a stone in his hand, like a small knife, inscribed with two characters, furrowing his brows in deep thought.
Years had passed, and they had yet to escape the predicament. This land seemed endless, even flying into the sky or digging into the ground was fruitless.
Just then, a glow of sunset rushed from behind, swiftly sweeping over the dim celestial vault, brightening the whole world.
Hongya Zi looked up, seeing the celestial vault not only lit by the glow of sunset but also appearing in a wave-like distortion.
“What is this phenomenon?” Hongya Zi asked.
Having adventured with Gu An for so long, he had unknowingly developed a dependence on him.
Gu An looked up, secretly amazed, “The Creation Essence Body is indeed formidable, without yet breaking through a Great Realm, just improving the physique, the phenomenon can be transmitted from the Final End to the Underworld.”
His avatar in the Hidden Spirit Palace of the Celestial Spirit Great World opened his eyes, seeing the Three Thousand Great Worlds and the Path of the Great Dao experiencing similar phenomena, the glow of sunset illuminating all beings.
Such a commotion might alarm the Celestial Court!
Luckily, he broke through at the Final End, the Heavenly Court Immortals should not be able to trace it there.
Even so, the Creation Essence Body alone was such, what kind of upheaval would his breakthrough to a Great Realm cause?
Gu An had a slight worry in his heart, would it push the Celestial Emperor out of hiding?
