Chapter 1334 — Piercing Heaven and Earth

"The Void Mother Beast has refined her body to such smallness, and yet she is far, far stronger than the Void Mother Beast I met the year I first entered the Ancestral Court!

" Shen Mu watched the mother beast come leaping out of the void, and his heart gave a faint shudder. The Great Emperor's move this time was surely meant to take the lives of one or two Heavenly Venerables, to clear away every obstacle to his future re-conquest of heaven and earth!

To the Ten Heavenly Venerables of this day, the Ancient Gods were still their greatest foe; but to the Great Emperor, the Ancient Gods were nothing to fret over — the Ten Heavenly Venerables were the greatest foe of all!

As sovereign of the Primordial Age, he had no lack of means to deal with Heavenly Duke, Earth Earl, and the rest of the Ancient Gods; but against the Ten Heavenly Venerables he had no such confidence.

The strength and the influence of the Ten Heavenly Venerables now stood far above the Ancient Gods'; the reason they had held still was that to destroy the Ancient Gods by force would cost them grievous losses of their own. The Ten Heavenly Venerables were one in appearance and divided at heart, and not one of them wished to be the one who fell.

Whoosh — In the instant the Void Mother Beast sprang out of the void, her figure vanished, like a sheet of clear glass gliding across the sky.

Her body passed through the divine arts of three Heavenly Venerable-level beings and came straight to the back of the Ancestral God King, who was hewing at the Great Emperor with all his strength.

He was alerted in a heartbeat; the cloak behind him flared and swept up with a howl, becoming a Mystic Capital World. When the Void Mother Beast passed through the Mystic Capital World, he sensed her exact position at once.

His Mystic Capital World had been forged by the Heavenly Dao, and mingled within it were all manner of other great daos, akin to a domain; even the Heavenly Duke, seeing it, could not but praise him: "A prodigious rebel indeed.

" Sensing the mother beast, he at once burst forth his primordial spirit, and a whole Heavenly Court surged out with a roar; his primordial spirit stood in the Lingxiao Hall of that Heavenly Court and stamped down a seal with his backhand!

And at that moment the Great Emperor suddenly laughed aloud, shaking off his earlier decline, took a blow from Divine Emperor Langxuan head-on, and pressed in close before the Ancestral God King.

The Heavenly Dao treasure in the Ancestral God King's hand became a heavenly lance and came crashing down; the Great Emperor neither dodged nor flinched, taking the blow upon his own brow, and the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness erupted and charged into the Ancestral God King's Heavenly Court!

Caught in a pincer attack, the Ancestral God King's body suddenly became a streak of flowing light and was drawn by his primordial spirit into the Heavenly Court, where body and primordial spirit merged into one.

At the same time his supreme Heavenly Dao treasure flew back, ringing as it split apart into forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures that guarded the Heavenly Court, even as they withstood the attacks of the Void Mother Beast and the Great Emperor together.

Boom — The Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness descended from the sky and collided with the forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures.

This was a blow that held the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit of divine consciousness; even Heavenly Venerable Hao, meeting such a blow, would have his primordial spirit imprisoned!

The forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures were smashed to pieces, fragments of Heavenly Dao treasures strewn everywhere; blood spurted at once from the Ancestral God King's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and astonishment showed on his face.

His body and his primordial spirit quaked together, and came near to parting from each other! The Great Emperor had spent a Dao Fruit strike, and its power was truly overbearing — in one blow he had gravely wounded him!

"The Dao Realm — is this the ultimate Dao Realm that Kaihuang spoke of?

" He had once rather scorned the Dao Realm Kaihuang founded, thinking that Kaihuang's road had strayed, had narrowed; yet the Great Emperor's strike, pregnant with Dao Fruit, showed him the strength and the terror of the Dao Realm system.

The Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace system advanced step by step, and every advance left traces to follow; the increase in cultivation and strength brought by each rise in realm could be foreseen, could be traced. The terror of the Dao Realm, however, lay in this: in the early stages, entering the Dao was bitterly hard, and one's cultivation and strength were by no means higher than the Heavenly Palace system's, while the time spent was longer; but in the later stages, every advance brought benefits beyond measure, and at the summit of the Dao Realm, having cultivated the Dao Fruit, one became as fearsome as the Great Emperor.

And more than that, the Great Emperor of today was not the whole Great Emperor!

The present Great Emperor had only a body and divine consciousness, no primordial spirit! Even so, he was already strong enough to crush him utterly. Yet the Ancestral God King was overbearing too, and quickly steadied his position.

If only he could hold out against this one blow, Divine Emperor Langxuan could tie down the Great Emperor, and then it would be hard to say who would fall!

But just then the mother beast pounced, passing through the Ancestral God King's body; the giant beast turned at once from void to solid, and its colossal body stretched the Ancestral God King until he swelled without cease.

Like a thing being pumped full of air, the Ancestral God King grew madly taller and fatter, and soon became a giant god ten thousand li in height, still swelling, a sight most terrifying to behold.

Inside him the mother beast devoured his qi and blood in a frenzy, meaning to refine all his qi and blood and swallow this Heavenly Venerable whole! "Ha ha ha ha!

" The Ancestral God King's face was contorted, yet he laughed like a madman: "There are things the Heavenly Duke cannot do; but I, his son, who inherited the Heavenly Duke's bloodline and the Duling Body, can do anything!

I have none of his rules and bounds —" His body changed abruptly.

A moment ago he had been a sacred and solemn God King; now he seemed to become a demon king of Youdu, capable of every evil!

His body seemed to turn into a world of Youdu, grim and dreadful; the uncanny, unfathomable power of Youdu burst forth, and one great dao after another, like chains that hook souls and snare spirits, bound the Void Mother Beast round and round!

The chains passed through the mother beast's body and hooked her soul!

The Ancestral God King was in fact turning the tables, meaning to refine the mother beast!

"Not good!

" The Great Emperor was startled. "I may have struck a hard stone!

The true abilities of the Ten Heavenly Venerables — every one of them hides them deep!

But if he spends his full strength refining the mother beast, he cannot withstand my Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness! This blow is enough to take his life!

" He did not wish to expose the identity of Heavenly Consort Qiang, and once more deployed the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness to send the Ancestral God King on his way.

But Divine Emperor Langxuan came killing from behind him, one blow of the One Finger of Divine Origin piercing in through the back of his skull and out through his forehead!

Ding.

A crisp ring sounded, and the Taichu Primordial Stone at the Great Emperor's brow burst apart, splitting into four and flying off in every direction. Divine Emperor Langxuan was overjoyed; giving no thought to rescuing the Ancestral God King, who was about to fall into the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, he hurriedly flew to snatch at the fragments of the Taichu Primordial Stone.
