His Xiao Heavenly Venerable body burst apart; Kaihuang's sword light drove straight down through the crown of the Heavenly Emperor's body, boring into that frame, where it became a Dao Tree of the Way of the Sword, the Way of the Sword surging! Xiao Heavenly Venerable had just taken control of that body and had no time to mount a defense; a muffled grunt came from within it, and then Ling Heavenly Venerable awoke from her desolation, raised a slender jade finger, and pointed it at her own brow.
Xiao Heavenly Venerable cried out, toppled backward, and with a thunderous crash smashed through the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, falling down into the Ultimate Void.
The Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness had already rotted; it could no longer bear them.
Ling Heavenly Venerable frowned and withdrew her finger—then saw that Hao Heavenly Venerable's blow had fallen wide: the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, with Shen Mu in it, was chopping toward the Supreme Emperor's withered, fallen Dao Tree!
The Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel came howling beside the Dao Tree; the Dao Tree was rotting away, and the wheel shook it until trunk and bark fell away in drifts, revealing a Taichu Emperor Sword!
The Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel chopped to meet the Emperor Sword, and this time it was Shen Mu's turn to feel his blood run cold.
That was the companion treasure of Taichu, the Heavenly Emperor, an Emperor Sword formed of the pure Way of Taichu.
Hao Heavenly Venerable's Way of Taichu was no deeper than Shen Mu's, and so the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel could hardly kill him. But if he were slain by this Emperor Sword, he feared he could not escape death, could not revive from it!
Just then a hand reached out and lightly closed upon the hilt of the Emperor Sword.
When Hao Heavenly Venerable saw who held the sword, shock and terror showed in his eyes. He put away the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel and fled in a flash, bearing wheel and Shen Mu with him, howling out of the Great Luo Heaven!
Kaihuang and Ling Heavenly Venerable looked toward that person. The withered Dao Tree stood behind him and slowly ceased to rot; the fallen, withered leaves slowly returned to green, and the shriveled Dao Fruit upon the tree slowly regained its vitality.
The Dao Tree began to grow once more, and the Great Luo Heaven no longer collapsed.
Thirty thousand zhang of purple qi descended from the heavens like a waterfall, like a long river, hanging inverted behind that person.
"Daoist Yun," Ling Heavenly Venerable and Kaihuang said in greeting.
