"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!
