And in this battle at Xuandu, Youdu had been emptied; he had recalled every one of his nether couriers. When all these couriers returned into his main body, his primordial spirit would be enough to shake the cosmos and the heavens and earth!
Before Palace Heavenly Venerable, in the brief moment when that primordial spirit raised its head, the deep, resonant Great Dao of Youdu burst forth with the sound of the dao — like the murmuring of countless souls, like mortals chanting scriptures in a temple, filled with unfathomable mystery.
Sixty-four different Daos of Youdu gathered behind his head. His primordial spirit, and the Dao of Youdu it harbored, stood against the Dao of Heaven here in Xuandu, carving Xuandu between them and forming a Youdu of its own!
"Perhaps... perhaps the Void Heavenly Venerable is not the most perfect heir to Tubo. Perhaps he is..." A terrible thought suddenly rose in Palace Heavenly Venerable's heart.
The Nether Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit was so vast, so mighty, that it roused in her the same shudder she had felt when facing Tubo.
Though she was no longer a Creator, though she had long since remedied the Creator race's weakness in soul, still, facing the Nether Heavenly Venerable, that shudder surged up in her heart again, making her heart convulse, her muscles shudder, her bones shudder.
Even her primordial spirit shuddered!
"But the Nine Heavenly Venerables of Longhan are already past, and now the world belongs to the ten Heavenly Venerables!"
Palace Heavenly Venerable gave a shrill, ringing cry, and from the Heavenly Court formed of thirty-five heavenly palaces came the brazen blast of horns, setting her blood and qi seething and sending her battle power soaring. This woman was fierce beyond measure, one of the few who dared to cut at Tai Di and Tai Chu; even though the Nether Heavenly Venerable possessed the mightiest primordial spirit in history, she feared him not, and dared to do battle!
The Ancestral Court Divine Whip in her hand quivered, then went straight as a spear. She leveled it at the Nether Heavenly Venerable and charged in savagely to kill!
The Nether Heavenly Venerable might have the mightiest primordial spirit, but he had just fallen into the illusory realm of her divine consciousness, and under her storm-like blows he must surely have been badly wounded. His strength must be sharply diminished!
She was wielding the spear art of Tai Di!
As the spear thrust out, the treasure formed from the ancestral-court dragon vein came alive at once, like a dragon vein ten thousand li long, writhing and changing in the air, shaking space itself!
That mighty mountain body was like dragon scales; the dragon's body coiled and wound; the mountain's roots were like dragon claws, every inch of them ferocious!
That strike was magnificent and overwhelming, and with the vast, mighty dharma power of the great Heavenly Court formed by the thirty-five heavenly palaces, her strength had risen to the highest peak she could attain in all her life!
The Nether Heavenly Venerable's dharma power must be far inferior to hers — and that was the key to her victory!
With her own dharma power and her treasures, she would beat the Nether Heavenly Venerable from youth back into old age, from gladness back into gloom!
Hummm—
A tremor came. Fine wrinkles were shaken out upon Palace Heavenly Venerable's fair cheeks. Hummm, hummm — tremor upon tremor came, and upon her face they formed creases, creases that could not be smoothed away.
She saw an utterly horrifying sight. With each tremor, behind the head of the Nether Heavenly Venerable's incomparably towering primordial spirit, a second world of Youdu appeared — then a third, a fourth, a fifth!
World upon world of Youdu spread out, and Palace Heavenly Venerable's eye corners twitched violently. These worlds of Youdu were heavens, layer upon layer, like Kai Huang's sword-dao heavens.
