Chapter 1849 — Storming the Jade Capital Imperial City

Countless living beings have died in misery; the crimes of Miluo Palace are too many to record! The blood on the hands of the Jade Capital City's host cannot be washed away even by the Heavenly River!

Now the host of Miluo Palace's Jade Capital City descends to bring calamity upon the Seventeenth Epoch. For the common people, for all living beings, we who are unworthily the Dao-attainers of the Seventeenth Epoch must vow to fight them to the death! " The moment his voice fell, the sound of the Dao between heaven and earth quivered without cease, and the great Dao contained within the whole Ancestral Court seethed. Upon the four walls and the floor of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court, the mountains and rivers, the lay of the land, shifted without pause, rumbling like thunder.

Shen Mu had refined this treasure for three and a half billion years; the might of the Chaos Cauldron was driven to its utmost, and a vast and mighty power of the great Dao came crashing down upon the Jade Capital City! The great Dao of the Chaos Cauldron was visible to the naked eye, transforming into countless rays of rosy light that formed a sea of radiance woven from Dao light, its tide surging, rushing straight toward the Jade Capital City from all directions!

The surging sound of the Dao roared, and within the rosy light countless Dao patterns and Dao chains interwove, gorgeous and dazzling, like a dream; yet within that beauty lurked a dreadful pulse that would destroy all things. Even Dao-attainers, even Hall Masters, facing such ferocious power of a treasure, felt their Dao fruits and Dao hearts tremble without cease! Shen Mu stood at the prow of the ship.

His form shook, and he became a being with three heads and six arms. The six arms spread wide, and the Six Paths Heaven Wheel, forged from chaos stones in the Sea of Chaos, rumbled into motion, pressing down upon the Jade Capital City!

At the same time, the Sea of Chaos boiled and pressed toward the Jade Capital City as well!

In that moment, the might of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court, the Dao power of the Six Paths Heaven Wheel, and the weight of the Sea of Chaos all surged toward the Jade Capital City at once!

Aboard the Golden Ship of Salvation, Kaihuang, Lan Yutian, and the others heard the sound of the Dao surging like the tide. The radiance of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court had already submerged them, yet that surging rosy light held no threat for them; as it passed through their Great Luo Heavens, it actually roused the great Dao contained within, further swelling the might of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court! Just then, from the Lingxiao Hall of the Jade Capital City, a Dao spear flew out and, with a thud, planted itself at the center of the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court! Hum!

In an instant the Dao spear grew taller and thicker, like a giant pillar propping up heaven and earth.

With a boom, a great sound came from the sky; the upper end of the Dao spear thrust into the Sea of Chaos, like a pillar anchoring the sea, holding the Sea of Chaos aloft!

The Dao spear was bent under the pressure. Around it, countless Hongmeng runes spilled forth, growing ever brighter, spinning madly about the spear; yet because of this, the Sea of Chaos could not fall! Young Master Zixiao flicked his sleeve, and the ancient zither, untouched, played itself and flew upward.

Its notes transformed into the Great Thousand Luo Heavens, blocking the Six Paths Heaven Wheel so that its power could not fall upon the Jade Capital City. Boom!

The might of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court struck from above and below, from left and right, from every direction. The tide of rosy light crashed upon the Jade Capital City with a power that could destroy heaven and earth; yet the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court stood unmoved amid the assault!

Within the city, the forest of Dao trees seemed swept by a hurricane; tree after tree swayed, branches and leaves dancing in the wind, yet not a single Dao tree was harmed!

Shen Mu's pupils constricted sharply. This Jade Capital City had withstood the great cosmic destruction and the great tribulation of creation. Before it had fully descended, it could still be breached; but once fully descended, it was unshakable!

Whoosh— The Six Paths Heaven Wheel flew down from above. Shen Mu rose into the air, treading the void as he walked toward the Jade Capital City.

At once the Six Paths Heaven Wheel encircled him at its center, and the vast wheels of reincarnation built from six chaos stones whirled howling around him, growing ever more immense. Kaihuang Shen Ye stepped out of the golden ship.

His foot came down upon one of the wheels of reincarnation, and his Dao realm of forty heavens spread out in full.

The Supreme Hall of the Sword Dao stood at the very summit of the forty heavens of the sword Dao, shining brilliantly amid the six paths of reincarnation. Lan Yutian also stepped onto one of the wheels. His Ancestral Court Dao realm spread out, the World Tree towering, and a treasure hall standing within it as well.

From the golden ship, Xu Shenghua, Shen Fengqing, Jiang Baigui, Xing An, and the others stepped onto the Six Paths Heaven Wheel one after another, taking their places on the front and back faces of the six paths of reincarnation. They spread out their Dao realms, their Great Luo Heavens suspended aloft, their World Trees taking root in the Great Luo Heavens of the Ancestral Court, guarded by the Five Primes. Boom!

The second and third waves of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court's attacks followed close upon one another, passing by the Six Paths Heaven Wheel to strike the Jade Capital City.

The rosy light of the great Dao all but submerged this ancient divine city! Throughout the Ancestral Court, mountain range after mountain range sank or rose, rivers vanished or appeared, the lay of the land shifting without cease, altering the very structure of the great Dao of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court! The sun, moon, and stars, the vast oceans, all became incomparably bright.

Hongmeng runes kindled from every corner of the Ancestral Court, causing the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court to assail the Jade Capital City with a myriad of different Dao arts, seeking to find its flaw!

Within the Ancestral Court divine treasuries of Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua, and the others, holy sites such as the Four Heavenly Gates, the Jade Pool and Jade Terrace, the Heavenly Sea, and the Heavenly River lit up without cease, shining in concert with these features of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court. Alone, Shen Mu could hardly drive the might of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court to its utmost; but with the support of the mana of their three thousand Dao-attainers, the power of the Chaos Cauldron was growing stronger and stronger!

Boom! The Six Paths Heaven Wheel, riding the pulsing rosy light of the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court, sliced toward the gate of the Jade Capital City.

The gate and its tower shook violently, yet were not broken open! Boom!

Another violent collision came, and still the Jade Capital City did not break. Chaos filled Shen Mu's eyes.

Suddenly the Chaos Hall rose behind him and crashed toward the Jade Capital City, while the attacks of the Six Paths Heaven Wheel and the Chaos Cauldron of the Ancestral Court arrived at the same instant! Boom!

The gate of the Jade Capital City split open, and a deep crack appeared in its tower, yet still it did not break.

Just then, the Cosmic Bell hanging in the Chaos Hall gave a great clang, and the power of the Tribulation of Creation gushed forth and struck the Jade Capital City! The Cosmic Bell then contracted, transforming into the power of the Tribulation of Destruction, and struck the Jade Capital City once more.

At the same moment, Shen Mu reached out and drew the Chaos Sword, thrusting it forward in the same instant!
