Chapter 1732 — The Wrong Side

The Second Young Master's expression shifted slightly, and she at once planned to withdraw behind the scenes and let the Heavenly Emperor Hao take command of the body.

The body she had possessed was one of the Heavenly Emperor Hao's two Dao bodies; the Third and Fourth Young Masters of the Miluo Palace, fearing that separating her from the Heavenly Emperor Hao would release her true body, had sealed her within his frame. Even so, the Second Young Master was the stronger of the two, often surging forth on her own to shove the Heavenly Emperor Hao's primordial spirit and consciousness aside, and she could hand the flesh back to his control at any time.

Just as the Heavenly Venerable Yun had said, the Ultimate Void and her Dao of Guixu were mutually antagonistic, and so letting the Heavenly Emperor Hao deal with the Heavenly Venerable Yun had become the best decision at this moment. As long as the Heavenly Emperor Hao emerged, he could reclaim his own One-Qi Daluo Heaven; by then, with the One-Qi Daluo Heaven fused together with the Spirit-Consciousness Daluo Heaven, the Heavenly Venerable Yun would surely be no match for him.

And yet. .

. this time, something had gone wrong.

When the Second Young Master attempted the exchange with the Heavenly Emperor Hao, the Immutable Divine Art hidden within her body suddenly erupted at full might, making it impossible for her to switch with him!

No matter how she tried, the result was the same!

Shocked, the Second Young Master raised her head to look at the Heavenly Venerable Yun across from her and asked suspiciously: "That desperate strike of yours just now, with the fake red-rope knot - was it all to lure me out, and then seal the Heavenly Emperor Hao away with the Immutable Divine Art, all for the sake of this moment? " The Heavenly Venerable Yun set the Taichu Imperial Sword humming and smiled: "This is my strategy.

" The fusion of the One-Qi Daluo Heaven and the Spirit-Consciousness Daluo Heaven was still continuing; as the fusion deepened, his cultivation and his Dao attainment advanced by leaps and bounds, and the might of the Taichu Imperial Sword in his hand was rising as well!

So long as the two Daluo Heavens fused into the Taichu Daluo Heaven, he would, in effect, have seized the Heavenly Emperor Hao's cultivation outright, using it to attain the Dao as Taichu and becoming, in one stroke, the most powerful being in the world! Before, he had not the least chance of victory against the Second Young Master; now, he had one chance in ten.

If the two Daluo Heavens fused completely, then he would have seven chances in ten!

Victory and defeat are decided in the details! The Heavenly Emperor Hao was indeed an incomparably terrifying opponent, but having defeated the Heavenly Venerable Yun once in the past, he carried the mentality of a victor; and with his cultivation so far above the Heavenly Venerable Yun's, he had grown careless and contemptuous.

There was no error in the Heavenly Emperor Hao's moves; the error lay in underestimating his enemy. His contempt for the Heavenly Venerable Yun had given Yun the opportunity to exploit the Second Young Master's weakness - luring her out with the red-rope knot, then sealing the Heavenly Emperor Hao away with the Immutable Divine Art.

With the Heavenly Emperor Hao unable to come out, it became possible for the Heavenly Venerable Yun to seize the One-Qi Daluo Heaven and perfect the Taichu Daluo Heaven, and he had a chance of victory in his fight with the Second Young Master - slim though it was!

The Second Young Master stopped trying to summon the Heavenly Emperor Hao and said: "This is the divine art of a profaner of the Dao, truly extraordinary.

Your scheme is fine as well.

The Ultimate Void and the Dao of Guixu indeed cannot tolerate each other, and dragging me into the Ultimate Void does allow you to use it to grind me away. It is only a pity that you have forgotten my identity.

" Her face was serene as she said flatly: "I am the Second Young Master of the Miluo Palace. Every one of us Young Masters has studied the Master's Dao arts and become an existence that has reached the extreme in a single respect.

Beside the Dao arts of the Miluo Palace, you so-called Heavenly Venerables, you so-called Dao Achievers, are still savages of a primeval jungle. " She walked toward the Heavenly Venerable Yun, and a fanatical look of all-destroying fervor rose upon her face: "How pitiful!

You must have come resolved to die in order to kill me. You schemed for a long time before you hit on this plan. You think you have a sliver of hope, that you can drag the time out, fuse the two Daluo Heavens, attain the Dao as Taichu, and thereby make it possible to kill me.

" Her aura suddenly shifted, and Hongmeng Primordial Qi welled up from within her body. Before, the wind of cold desolation and the wind of heat death within her had been dissolving away her cultivation without cease, but now, with the appearance of the primordial qi, the process slowed - and even showed signs of stopping! The Heavenly Venerable Yun's pupils contracted sharply.

"What a pitiful sight you are. Though I do not accept the Master's philosophy, the Master's Dao arts are indeed profound beyond measure, so I studied them very earnestly and gained many insights. " The Second Young Master Wuji watched his expression, laughed softly, and, bearing down on his confidence and conviction, said leisurely: "You felt yourself possessed of a few chances a moment ago - now, have you not a single one left? Poor creature.

Even if you traded your life for my death, you would only have killed one of my avatars; it would have no effect upon my true body whatsoever. And in truth, you cannot kill me at all. You exhaust the wisdom of a lifetime, longing to attain the Dao, longing to transcend; and you cast away everything to kill me - yet in the end it is all so laughable.

Such a poor, pitiable creature - let me put an end to your base life!

" With that, she struck out without the slightest hesitation! "Daoist brother Taiji - no matter how you look at it, we are both of the Five Tai that precede Heaven, kin of the same breath and the same branch.

Why must you strike to kill one of your own? " In the Chiming Heyang Heaven of Wuyou Township, the people of the township had already moved away, leaving for Jingping, and all thirty-three heavens had been vacant, nothing left but one empty divine city after another. The great armies of every divine city had also descended upon the several heavens below, locked in bloody battle with the Heavenly Court. In this very Chiming Heyang Heaven, the two Taiji Ancient Gods had merged their bodies into a single ancient god of towering vastness, standing between heaven and earth in Heyang Heaven, sun, moon, and stars crowning its head, while the Taiji Sand Table had transformed into a colossal divine artifact that erupted with boundless might at their urging! The earth of Heyang Heaven was ripped open, and the mountains were ground to pulp, becoming rolling sand and dust that swelled the power of the sand table. The one dueling the Taiji Ancient God was a plump little fellow who tumbled this way and that through the dust at dizzying speed, at one moment crashing into the Taiji Ancient God with savage force and beating his skin open and his flesh ragged, at the next flaring the Azure Void Mirror behind his head so that he became azure void itself and dodged the ancient god's attacks.

The two Taiji Ancient Gods had not the least recourse against him.

"Fellow Daoists, both of you - same breath, same branch!
