Dahong chuckled: "Brothers three, the Heaven Emperor truly deserves death, does he not? " Shen Mu shuddered with cold dread and retreated, coughing once: "Brother Luo, let us go seek your ancestral spirits!
" Luo Xiao made to step closer: "I have never seen the Goddess King Gong Yun.
Let me take a look first. .
.
" "Don't look!
" Shen Mu, furious, dragged him and walked out.
Luo Xiao was startled and laughed: "Brother Mu, you are the fourth, yet you scold me as though scolding a son. Fine, I won't look.
Why so fierce? " Just then Dahong's voice came: "Heaven Emperor — heh heh — or perhaps I should call you Taichu. When I first dug you out together with the Taichu Origin Stone, I sensed within the egg an incomparably powerful life, a life more ancient than we Creators.
" Luo Xiao was stunned.
Suddenly he shivered several times in succession, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. "I sensed your power, but your time of birth had not yet come.
If you had remained in the Taichu lode, sooner or later you would have drawn upon the lode's power and become incomparably strong. " Dahong continued, "At that time I even thought of being reborn through your body, but I restrained myself. Having obtained the Origin Stone, I was arrogant and conceited, believing I had no need to fear you at all. I would only grow stronger than you!
So I raised you as though you were my son, and to bring about your birth I even had my clansmen offer sacrifices to you.
" He chuckled: "A pity — I still underestimated you. " Gu Xiao said indifferently, "You had your clansmen sacrifice to me, pulling up the seedling to help it grow — with ill intent, wishing to use the power of those sacrifices to constrain me and cultivate me into your weapon. How could I fail to understand your mind? While I was gestating in the egg, I had already comprehended the various rules of the Great Way and drawn upon the power of the Great Way of heaven and earth; I was holy and enlightened from birth. But you took away the Origin Stone and cut short my growth, so I simply borrowed the power of the Creators to grow and draw sustenance. " Luo Xiao shuddered with dread and involuntarily quickened his steps, heading out of the mining region.
Gu Xiao went on, "Great Emperor, this time you have not come in your true body.
How much power can you have? You have merely been reborn and transformed into a lowly demon. Even if you know the history of the past, even if you see Gong Yun, what can you do?
" "Killing you is enough.
" Dahong said calmly, "Are you not also using a reincarnated body? You reincarnated as a human, and often used this fleshly body to meet Lady Yuanmu in secret, arranging for yourself the post of Heavenly Master of the Nanluo sect. This human body of yours — how much fighting strength can it have?
" Gu Xiao said coldly, "Then what are you still waiting for?
" Shen Mu immediately sensed two exceedingly terrifying throbbings coming from the lode, making one tremble, making one quail. In a fluster he shouted loudly, "I cannot die! If I die here, who the hell.
.
.
" "Understood!
" Dahong's and Gu Xiao's voices came almost at the same time, the two of them roaring in anger.
Behind them, the two dreadful throbbings subsided somewhat. Shen Mu let out a breath of relief and hurriedly said, "Fat Dragon, Yan'er, get on the chariot!
Brother Luo, you too! " Everyone climbed onto the treasure chariot.
Long Qilin cracked the whip, and the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot raced out of the lode. At the very moment the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot burst out of the lode, an extraordinarily violent surge of divine arts came rushing from within.
Shen Mu looked back and saw Dahong's hands drawn out from his sleeves! What he drew from his sleeve was a great spear.
