Chapter 1479 — Peerless Battle Might Crowns All Under Heaven

"Even the Heavenly Lord seizes his chance to strike from behind?

" God Emperor Langxuan was both startled and amused. Though the two Heavenly Venerables had wounded him, the wounds were far from fatal; as the Heavenly Lord's palm came sweeping in, he at once stopped striking at Shi Qiluo and Heavenly Consort Qiang, turned about in midair, and without a word of argument raised his power to its uttermost limit!

Now his back was turned to Heavenly Consort Qiang and Shi Qiluo, his back hollow and undefended, without a shred of guard, laid bare and open before those two Heavenly Venerables.

Shi Qiluo gave a light wave of his hand, pressing it to the other's heart from behind, and the flesh of God Emperor Langxuan's back, smashed to pulp by the two artifact Heavenly Venerables, knit itself whole again; broken bones rejoined, wounds healed.

On the other side, Heavenly Consort Qiang returned to the God-Slaying Terrace; with a sweep of her sleeve she wiped across Shi Qiluo's neck, and the killing aura and lingering blade-intent left there by Shen Mu's stroke were drawn into her, feeding back into the God-Slaying Terrace's baleful divine blade. Shi Qiluo's head flew back and settled upon his neck, his wounds healed; then a wheel of light flew out from behind his head and came to rest above Heavenly Consort Qiang, spinning, sweeping from the crown of her head down to the soles of her feet.

Heavenly Consort Qiang, whose bones had been shattered and sinews snapped by Langxuan, now received the aid of Shi Qiluo's Dao of Creation, and her fleshly body was restored in an instant to its peak.

Only moments ago these three had been dealing one another killing blows, each looking as though he wished the others dead; yet in this very instant they healed one another's hurts, without the least guard against each other, like comrades-in-arms who could entrust their lives to one another!

Such was the tacit understanding among the Ten Heavenly Venerables! When no great enemy stood before them, they would strike at one another in a hundred ways, seeking the chance to finish a rival off; but the moment an enemy appeared, they were at once allies on the same front, able to entrust their lives to one another!

This was precisely why the Ten Heavenly Venerables had stood unshaken for a million years!

The three Heavenly Venerables struck almost in the same instant. The Hundred Treasure Chest behind Shi Qiluo opened, and another artifact Heavenly Venerable leaped forth; two of his deity Heavenly Venerables had been destroyed, but three still remained whole.

The three artifacts roared again and again, their bodies swelling at furious speed until they were countless times more colossal than Shi Qiluo, God Emperor Langxuan, and Heavenly Consort Qiang; even the Ancestral Court's God-Slaying Terrace seemed paltry before them!

These three artifact Heavenly Venerables, towering and mighty, embodied the Heavenly Court's strongest martial power over a million years, its most world-shaking weapons! Each of the three deities shook its body and became three-headed and six-armed, sinews hideous, eighteen arms raised high; with a single thunderous boom, they blocked the Heavenly Lord's blow!

In the very instant they blocked that blow, the wheels of light behind the three artifact Heavenly Venerables spun with a howl; beneath those vast wheels, Shi Qiluo and his fellow Heavenly Venerables seemed smaller still, standing there before their toes like ants. And from each wheel of light, twenty or thirty heavenly palaces came bursting forth, forming a great Heavenly Court!

Those wheels of light were of every hue, each unlike the others: there was Heavenly Venerable Fire's Dao Fire Wheel, Heavenly Venerable Hao's Primordial Innate Qi Wheel, and the last was Heavenly Consort Qiang's Divine Consciousness Wheel!

Borrowing the artifact Heavenly Venerables, Shi Qiluo stole the arts of other Heavenly Venerables, driving these three deities and at the same time unleashing the peerless arts of different Heavenly Venerables, while his own peerless art he had never once employed.

At this sight, both Heavenly Consort Qiang and God Emperor Langxuan felt their eyes twitch. But they had no time to reckon with Shi Qiluo over such things; the two Heavenly Venerables soared up, one to the left and one to the right.

God Emperor Langxuan's fleshly body swelled of a sudden; a single lift of his hand summoned the twenty-eight heavens, his divine ability stamped upon the twenty-eightfold void, and the Dao of the Great Beginning, like a great disc, came cleaving at the Heavenly Lord's arm!

His Great Beginning divine ability was even more exquisite than the Divine Origin Finger, its power greater still; with one strike he split the Heavenly Lord's arm open!

Heavenly Consort Qiang stood upon the God-Slaying Terrace and drove the baleful divine blade; the two strands of killing aura grew thicker and thicker, rearing and coiling like dragons, wheeling about the Heavenly Lord's severed arm, hissing as they slashed again and again, hacking that arm to fragments and stealing away the power of the Heavenly Dao!

The three Heavenly Venerables worked together in seamless accord, and the sight of it made Shen Mu and his four companions, racing at full speed along the Heavenly Lord's arm, sink inwardly, and at the same time secretly give thanks.

Had Shen Mu recklessly gone to ambush the three Heavenly Venerables a moment ago, he would surely be dead by now! The three Heavenly Venerables joining hands had cut off one of the Heavenly Lord's arms with ease, and this too made the five of them sink inwardly: the Heavenly Venerables were too strong; against three of them joined, even the Heavenly Lord could not hold, so how was this battle to be fought?

Under all heaven, who could withstand three Heavenly Venerables joined?

And besides, Xuandu now held not three Heavenly Venerables alone; those who had openly shown themselves numbered five: Heavenly Venerable Hong, Heavenly Venerable Fire, Heavenly Consort Qiang, God Emperor Langxuan, and Shi Qiluo! No one knew whether other Heavenly Venerables still lurked in the shadows!

At the very least, the Ancestral God King had not yet shown himself, and the Ancestral God King would certainly come here!

Tian Shu's voice was hoarse; hefting a jar of wine, he poured it madly down his throat and rasped, "Kaihuang told us to hold them off first, but even the Heavenly Lord cannot hold.

. .

" Just then, light blazed forth in Xuandu; countless starlights came surging madly in, gathering at the Heavenly Lord's severed arm.

The sound of the Dao thundered and quaked; the Heavenly Lord's severed arm was growing back, while the severed arm's five fingers splayed apart, its flesh dissolving, its bones, blood vessels, and sinews transforming in an instant into forty-nine kinds of Heavenly Dao treasures that hung suspended around the three Heavenly Venerables.

Those were Heavenly Dao treasures transmuted from the Heavenly Lord's own flesh, of monstrous power; suddenly, driven by the Heavenly Net Treasure, all the Heavenly Dao treasures merged into one, descending like a whole world of Xuandu turned upside down to cover the three Heavenly Venerables and the three artifact Heavenly Venerables beneath it.

Hum, the forty-nine different Heavenly Dao treasures blazed with light in their various forms, and that humming vibration sounded like the Heavenly Dao itself crying out "Seal!

" "Seal!

" "Seal!

" The great seal formed by the forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures working as one had actually suppressed and sealed Shi Qiluo, Langxuan, and Heavenly Consort Qiang together with the three artifact Heavenly Venerables! Shen Mu and the others watched with soaring spirits and were just about to speak when suddenly cracks appeared across the Great Heavenly Dao Seal, and the next moment it burst apart!

"Strong! " Zhe Huali could not help but exclaim in wonder.
