When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses!-Chapter 344: Eternal and Infinite Divine Sword!

As the countless beings trapped in terrifying illusions across the continent witnessed a mysterious sword shadow, in reality, the Dark War Emperor also saw it.

But the sword shadow facing the Dark War Emperor was even more majestic—its presence overwhelming!

The black sea of clouds that blanketed the sky was flooded with sword light. Thunderclouds parted, and a colossal silver sword blade pierced through the dark clouds. It was as if an unimaginably massive deity from beyond the heavens had swung a sword. The portion of the blade emerging from the clouds was even larger than a mountain.

Before such a mighty sword, the Dark War Emperor—holding a spear in both hands—seemed minuscule.

After a brief moment of shock, madness crept into the Dark War Emperor's expression.

“What domineering sword intent! I didn’t expect someone in this world to reach such heights in the Sword Dao!”

He laughed thunderously, and his aura surged wildly. The spear in his hands erupted with terrifying black flames.

As he spoke, he gripped his spear tightly and thrust forward with tremendous force.

With that strike, the clouds in the heavens exploded, revealing the full form of the colossal and mysterious sword shadow.

It was a sword shadow larger than any mountain range in the world. Its hilt seemed to stretch into the cosmos, overwhelming the senses with its sheer visual impact.

Boom—

The raging black flames clashed with the awe-inspiring sword shadow like a dragon ramming into a divine blade. In an instant, the people of the continent snapped out of their illusions. In their vision, a blinding sword shadow had torn the illusions apart and pulled them back into reality.

Instinctively, they looked up—and were met with a sight they would never forget.

A silver sword shadow hovered in the sky. Its immensity defied imagination—it was beyond words.

In Xuan Valley, Gu An and the disciples looked up at the sword shadow above.

The Eternal Boundless Divine Sword!

It was an ascended form of the Celestial Star-Suppressing Infinite Sword!

This was also the first time Gu An had used this sword technique.

Standing among the disciples, Gu An’s face showed astonishment, making it hard for anyone to associate him with the divine sword in the sky.

Even the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord’s divine sense had vanished—he was clearly also stunned by the sight above.

Gu An's gaze sharpened. The Eternal Boundless Divine Sword radiated dazzling light, dimming everything around it. Then, with unstoppable force, it dispersed the black flames and charged toward the Dark War Emperor.

The Dark War Emperor’s expression changed dramatically. He immediately activated his divine ability, transforming his body into black mist. But as the Eternal Boundless Divine Sword swept past, the mist collapsed and vanished completely within moments.

Beyond the heavens.

In the dim starry sky, the Dark War Emperor reappeared out of thin air. He turned to look back at the Heavenly Spirit Great Realm. His terrifying face was now full of lingering fear.

“That sword intent… it contains powerful karmic force…”

The Dark War Emperor was inwardly alarmed. Fortunately, his divine abilities were formidable—he’d barely broken free from the sword intent’s suppression in time and escaped into the cosmos.

Then, as if realizing something, he instinctively looked up—and his eyes widened in horror.

The Eternal Boundless Divine Sword had somehow appeared above his head, descending rapidly toward him.

Panic-stricken, he activated his divine ability again, trying to flee. But no matter where he went, as long as he looked up, he saw the sword. And with each attempt, the sword got closer.

Now, he was the one feeling the despair the beings of Taicang had just endured.

It was like an inescapable fate.

To the people on the continent, the Eternal Boundless Divine Sword vanished without a trace. But the winds roared, trees swayed like waves, and mortals shielded their faces from the gale.

When the chaos subsided and people looked up again, the ominous bloody phenomenon in the sky was fading—at a glance, it looked like twilight had fallen.

After a moment of stunned silence, the disciples of Xuan Valley erupted into cheers. The entire Taixuan Sect buzzed like a boiling pot, their voices shaking the heavens.

“That sword… was I dreaming just now?”

“What immense sword intent! I never knew the Sword Dao could reach such heights!”

“Did anyone else see a dark figure? I think I was trapped in an illusion and then saw a sword pull me out of it.”

“I saw it too—same exact thing!”

“That was the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path! Only he could wield such sword intent. He saved us again!”

All across the Taixuan Sect’s cities, disciples were ecstatic. The Dark War Emperor’s divine ability had terrified everyone—but that only made the relief and awe at the Sword Sovereign’s power even greater.

The sword shadow alone had shattered their understanding of the Sword Dao.

How strong was the Sword Sovereign?

How far did the path of the Sword Dao go?

Gu An joined the excited conversations with his disciples—until a prompt appeared before him:

You have successfully seized 207,632 years of lifespan from the Dark War Emperor (Dao-Void Celestial Immortal Stage, Layer 2).

Gu An could siphon 10–20% of an opponent’s lifespan, which meant the Dark War Emperor had over 2 million years of lifespan left.

He wondered: Just how long can a Dao-Void Celestial Immortal live?

Gu An was in a great mood. His first use of the Eternal Boundless Divine Sword had gone extremely well.

It proved the effectiveness of Reincarnation Evolution. He had comprehended the power of Laws and fused it into his own, embedding it into his divine abilities for even greater mastery.

The Eternal Boundless Divine Sword had locked onto the karmic aura of the Dark War Emperor. No matter where he fled, the sword would follow—unless he could completely erase the karma.

But in such a short time, even if the Dark War Emperor had a way to do so, there was no time to act.

Gu An could feel another Dao-Void Celestial Immortal watching him from afar. He didn’t look back.

Soon, that cultivator left.

After a few words with the disciples of Xuan Valley, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley. The place was abuzz—everyone was still passionately discussing what had just happened.

Stepping off the teleportation platform, Gu An spotted Shen Xinzi in the distance, staring blankly at the sky, lost in thought.

You Yingying came rushing over with Long Qing in her arms. She reached Gu An, her face full of excitement. “Did you see that?! The Sword Sovereign’s sword was unbelievable! It felt like it came from beyond the stars!”

She got more and more animated, eventually speaking so fast her words jumbled together.

Long Qing stretched out his arms, gesturing wildly to show how massive the sword in the sky had been.

Gu An played along, equally enthusiastic, even describing what it felt like being inside the illusion.

But deep down, his mind was on something else—the Heavenly Prison.

The Dark War Emperor had found his way here because someone from the Heavenly Prison had released a Heaven Demon into the Taicang Continent.

This matter wouldn’t end so easily.

“I wonder who that shadow figure was… Will he return someday? I hope the Sword Sovereign already destroyed him…” You Yingying said worriedly.

Gu An could only offer reassurance. “Have faith in the Sword Sovereign.”

He also didn’t know the Dark War Emperor’s exact origins, but he was sure there was no blood or karmic link with the Long Family. Moreover, the Dark War Emperor’s true body wasn’t human.

After talking with You Yingying for a while, Gu An finally slipped away, briefly chatting with An Xin, Ji Xuanyu, and others afterward.

The impact of this battle would last a long time.

Across distant, unseen places, many Grandmaster Cultivators were secretly observing this battle. The Sword Sovereign’s overwhelming strength left countless people shaken.

When he wiped out the Grand Cold Demon Sect, his name began to spread among the major sects. But at the time, he was considered just a formidable figure.

Now it was different.

The aura of the Dark War Emperor had shocked the entire Heavenly Spirit Great Realm—his power far surpassed the entire Cold Demon Sect combined.

Everyone in the Free Soaring Immortal Stage had witnessed the fall of the Dark War Emperor.

To slay someone who had reached the Seventh Heaven of the Immortal Path—the Sword Sovereign's depth was unfathomable!

Far beyond, hidden inside the sun, seven mysterious beings slowly closed their eyes—as if nothing had happened.

In a grand hall flickering with firelight, two figures stood silently beside a small pool.

The pool reflected the cosmos, faint wisps of dark energy swirling within it.

One of them, a black-robed man wearing a dragonbone crown, looked grim. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Big trouble… The Sword Sovereign is that powerful. The Heavenly Prison’s schemes can’t escape his eyes. He’ll come for me sooner or later!”

He turned and glared at the man beside him, his eyes full of fury.

Qingsongzi took a deep breath and said, “The Saint King surely knows about this. Let’s just protect ourselves.”

He was the Domain Lord of Duanhai’s Main City, and the Taicang Continent was under his jurisdiction.

Right now, Qingsongzi looked pale. His hands were clenched tight inside his sleeves as he struggled to appear calm.

After witnessing the death of the Dark War Emperor, he felt like the sky was collapsing.

He turned and left.

The black-robed man muttered darkly, “If the Sword Sovereign comes, I’ll have no choice but to reveal the Saint King’s existence. With his cultivation, I can’t hide it anyway.”

“Then you better hope he never comes!” Qingsongzi snapped before vanishing on the spot.

The black-robed man glared in his direction, his fury shaking the entire palace.

Beneath a dazzling sea of stars, a small island hovered silently.

The island was small. At its center lay a plaza paved with white jade.

One by one, figures appeared on the plaza. Each radiated a unique light, their silhouettes barely discernible. Their faces were blurred—only their eyes could be clearly seen.

They stood in silence. No one spoke.

Finally, a broad-shouldered figure broke the silence. “Saint Prime Minister, letting dark beings in—was that your idea?” His voice was cold.

The others turned toward the Saint Prime Minister. His entire body radiated golden light, exuding the aura of a divine being.

Facing the question, the Saint Prime Minister answered calmly, “The world is overrun with Heaven Demons. They use reincarnation to mask their identities. You all know the calamity brewing in the Realm of Extinction. I did this with future plans in mind—it was the lesser evil.”

Others began to speak up as well.

“The intention was sound, but the dark beings are too brutal. They’re impossible to control.”

“That guy must have been the Dark War Emperor. His escape techniques were extraordinary. Never thought he’d actually die.”

“Duanhai Domain… The Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path… The Heavenly Spirit Great Realm is massive, and yet he found the Sword Sovereign’s location? That’s suspicious.”

“Indeed. Every time the Sword Sovereign acts, it seems to be in self-defense. If the Dark War Emperor came for him directly, why involve two continents?”

“Saint Prime Minister, it seems someone’s using you to target the Sword Sovereign.”

The Saint Prime Minister’s eyes flickered with cold light. His golden radiance pulsed—but his gaze grew icy.
