Chapter 1584 — Unrivaled for Six Billion Years

Brand the Ultimate Void with the Dao of Divine Consciousness, and one becomes deathless and indestructible?

" He was filled with curiosity and could not resist probing the mysteries of the Ultimate Void. Taidi glanced at him and said leisurely, "Fourth Brother, after you die I will trap your soul in the Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness and torment it day and night.

You will have all the time you need to study—no need to hurry.

" Shen Mu was moved to tears, and said in a choking voice, "Eldest Brother is so good to me.

.

.

And Yun Tianzun? Is he also in your Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness?

" Taidi laughed heartily.

"He lies beneath the roots of my Dao Tree, serving as fertilizer.

You will come to the same end—and so will all of you.

" An excited light flickered in his eyes.

"Fourth Brother, I thank you for bringing me Taichu's fleshly body. Do you know how many years I have waited for this day? Ever since you returned to the primordial dawn of Longhan, I have been waiting!

And now it has been a million years!

Second Brother, you crossed forty thousand years to offer me your own flesh and soul, and I am grateful for that too. When I have devoured you, I will raise a stele for you.

" Xiao Tianzun smiled.

"To see my elder brother again stirs me beyond words. " Taidi laughed aloud; as the laughter died, his gaze fell upon Ling Tianzun, and he said leisurely, "That you could trap my soul for forty thousand years is no small feat.

You are the first to break my Supreme Divine-Consciousness Domain, and I will grant you a very fine death. " Ling Tianzun drew the hairpin from her hair. Taidi paid it no mind. His gaze fell upon the Goddess Taisu, and he said with a sneer, "An egg once given as a dowry has actually hatched.

Very good.

" The Goddess Taisu smiled coldly. Taidi turned to Kaihuang Shen Ye and praised him: "Your sword-Dao has but newly taken form, and your future is boundless. A pity you are still one realm below me.

Moreover, you have only just attained the Dao and do not yet understand what the realms after attainment are; and on top of that, this is forty thousand years ago.

A pity for you. " Kaihuang's gaze rested on his Dao Fruit, and he said mildly, "I am half a realm below you.

Your Dao Fruit is green and unripe.

" Taidi laughed. "Half a realm is enough to crush you to death. As for Hao Tianzun.

.

.

" He smiled. "He is quite good as well. To have brought the path of attaining the Dao through power this far—you have done well for yourself.

A pity that you have not yet branded the Ultimate Void with your own strength; your attainment of the Dao through power is not yet complete, and you are three realms below me: the Dao Tree, the Dao Flower, and the Dao Fruit. " He displayed all the bearing of a Great Emperor who had ruled the cosmos for billions of years, and said leisurely, "In my long, long life, having such interesting figures to play with me, I have not found it lonely. A pity.

Truly a pity for you.

" Hao Tianzun suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud, worshipping the Goddess Taisu: "Aunt, Wish-Fulfillment—break his Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness! " The Goddess Taisu involuntarily roused the Dao of Taisu, and in an instant the whole Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness was flooded with matter, so that it was no longer pure!

In the very instant Taisu made her move, Ling Tianzun roused the Unchanging Divine Art, fixing all the matter in the Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness, plunging it into a state of unchanging matter! On another side, Xiao Tianzun gave a long cry; the Great Heavenly Court formed of his thirty-six heavenly palaces quaked, and his soul rose slowly from the Heavenly Court.

Rousing the Dao of Taichu, he brought one palm down! Hao Tianzun shot up from his kneeling posture into the air, the Myriad-Dao Heavenly Wheel howling as it spun, slashing at the Dao Tree!

At the same moment, Kaihuang drew his sword and pointed it at the Dao Fruit upon the tree; at a single motion of the sword-light, thirty-six layers of sword domains appeared, and at the very top was the Sword-Dao Luotian!

Shen Mu, controlling the Heavenly Emperor's body, erupted with an unspeakably terrifying power; his flesh turned savage, he commanded the myriad Daos, and he closed in before Taidi of Divine Consciousness, thrusting out both hands to blast him apart! Taidi laughed aloud.

The great Dao flowed through the Dao Tree, and the Dao Fruit blazed with light. Xiao Tianzun's attack had barely reached the air above the Dao Tree when the Dao-light radiating from its crown lifted it up, and it could not descend; instead Xiao Tianzun felt an invincible power shake him so that he was flung tumbling upward against his will.

Aghast, he roused his arts again and again, bringing down palm after palm, but was beaten steadily backward. Hao Tianzun's Myriad-Dao Heavenly Wheel struck the trunk, and burst apart with a thunderous crash; his face changed despite himself. Kaihuang's sword had just pierced the Dao Fruit when the power within it, the strongest of all, shattered the sword-light to pieces; Kaihuang dodged aside, avoiding the shock of the Dao Fruit's power.

Shen Mu charged up to Taidi of Divine Consciousness, and suddenly a terrifying divine consciousness erupted; with a thunderous boom it blasted his soul flying out of the Heavenly Emperor's body!

The Dao Tree swayed with a rustling clatter, and figure after figure was flung tumbling in all directions; whether it was Ling Tianzun's Unchanging Divine Art or the Goddess Taisu's Wish-Fulfillment, all were broken!

The sky of the Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness was clear and transparent as a bright mirror, stained only by the blood that Shen Mu, Hao Tianzun, Xiao Tianzun, Ling Tianzun, and the Goddess Taisu scattered as they fell. Kaihuang shifted his step, evading the Dao Fruit's attack, his expression grave; he had not been wounded by Taidi, but his mind could not help but be deeply shaken.

Taidi of Divine Consciousness raised his head and studied the Heavenly Emperor's body, a smile appearing on his face: "You have finally brought me the body I need. From this day on, I can at last leave the Ultimate Void and descend fully into the world!

" Swish— He vanished into the Heavenly Emperor's body. Everyone's expression changed drastically.
