Taidi said in admiration, "But you still have far to go. Shen Ye, you are half a step behind me, and that half step is the difference between heaven and earth! Now that I have obtained Taichu's fleshly body, the gap between you and me is even wider!"
He turned his palm over and struck out with a palm. Kaihuang unleashed his sword, and the Great Luotian of Sword Dao expanded outward, colliding violently with that palm. The sword dao howled, yet the moment the Great Luotian of Sword Dao met Taidi's palm, it collapsed at a touch!
At that very moment, Hao Tianzun let out a furious long cry and brought a Myriad Daos Heavenly Wheel down upon the wrist of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body. The power of this strike contained the divine powers of thirty heavens of the Dao realm, bursting forth one after another, bombarding the tendons at the wrist of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body. Thirty great divine powers struck in succession, and at last the hand was blasted open.
Freed from his bonds, Xiao Tianzun immediately roused his Taichu divine power, striking again and again, imprinting blow after blow upon the brow of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body, trying to shatter the divine consciousness of Taidi that had invaded it!
Yet for all the divine powers that rained down, Taidi merely tilted his head slightly back, and then two incomparably thick beams of Taichu Dao light shot from his eyes, blasting Xiao Tianzun away.
Taidi raised his other hand and slapped it down on Hao Tianzun. Hao Tianzun's fleshly body exploded, blood and flesh spattering, shattered bones shooting out in all directions!
The Divine Maiden of Tai Su flew over, rousing her companion supreme treasure into a battered, tattered Tai Bell and hurling it at Taidi, while at the same time rousing the Dao of Tai Su to rescue Hao Tianzun and help his fleshly body recover.
Clang!
Taidi smashed his fist into the Tai Bell, and the Tai Bell split into four and shattered into fine powder!
He reached for the Divine Maiden of Tai Su. Her body swayed and she took on the appearance of Gong Tianzun. Taidi's expression turned infatuated, then he grinned and backhanded her to pieces!
Though shattered, the Divine Maiden of Tai Su at once turned into Tai Su qi and recondensed her body, but her aura was greatly diminished. Shocked and furious, she thought, "Are Dao-attainers this powerful? I don't believe it!"
On the other side, Shen Mu rejoined Ling Tianzun. Ling Tianzun was about to charge forward, but Shen Mu raised a hand to stop her and shook his head. "Let them fight!"
Ling Tianzun was surprised. Shen Mu said in a low voice, "Ling, I fear we must part."
Ling Tianzun was slightly startled.
Shen Mu's divine consciousness rippled, transmitting to her all he had gained from comprehending the Miluo Palace Dao patterns during this time, and he took out the two Qiankun Mirrors imprinted with those patterns and pressed them into her hand.
Ling Tianzun's heart sank. "Mu, what are you doing?"
"Taidi must die. But this place is the time when the Shanghuang Era was destroyed and the Kaihuang Era had not yet been founded—forty thousand years ago."
Shen Mu's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "I need you to rouse the Unchanging Divine Power and send us back to our own era—that is, forty thousand years from now. There, in the Ultimate Void, there is Kaihuang's Great Luotian of Sword Dao, Kaihuang's Dao Tree and Dao Flower, and only then will we have the strength to fight Taidi. The countermeasures I left in the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body may not be enough to deal with Taidi either."
Ling Tianzun's heart trembled, and her voice came out hoarse. "I am not a person of forty thousand years from now. I cannot return to forty thousand years from now. If I send you away, I can only remain here in the present."
