"Who is this man?
" Ling Tianzun asked, uneasy.
"Why, after striking at Hao Tianzun, would he strike at you as well?
" "Lingyu Shangzun. A Dao-achiever from the prehistoric age.
" Shen Mu tried to restore his fleshly body, but Lingyu Shangzun's Dao of Taichu had done him enormous harm, so that his body could not recover for a time. Lingyu Shangzun had seized the body of the previous cosmic epoch's Taichu and had comprehended the Dao of Taichu to the thirty-sixth heaven of the Dao realm; though he had not yet had time to entrust his Dao fruit to the ultimate void of this universe, his strength was nonetheless out of the ordinary.
A moment ago Shen Mu had tried to use the Unchanging divine art to make matter flow backward, to revive Langxuan and set him to contend for the primordial spirit, so as to throw Lingyu's cultivation and strength into disarray; but before a being of such ferocity, the Unchanging divine art had no chance to be used at all. Lingyu Shangzun could suppress the Unchanging divine art outright!
One could see to what a height his Dao and Dharma had been refined!
Had Shen Mu not used Yue Tianzun's Zaiji Void divine art to send Ling Tianzun to his side, it was to be feared that no one at all could have done anything to him.
Ling Tianzun uttered a sound of acknowledgment and walked toward the Artifact of Creation.
To grasp clearly why Lingyu Shangzun would kill Hao Tianzun and then also try to kill Shen Mu was a little too difficult for her; in any case the killing was already done, so she simply gave up thinking about the reason.
She was indeed incomparably clever, but of the ways of the world and of human feeling she understood nothing at all. The Artifact of Creation in the Zaofu Heavenly Palace was still running of its own accord, and another Yutianzun artifact was taking shape; the Artifact of Creation was driven by the Taisu Divine Maiden's companion supreme treasure.
The Dao of Taisu answers every request; Hao Tianzun had killed Taisu and seized her Dao and Dharma and her companion treasure, and now this companion treasure held the Artifact of Creation in its grip, and Tubo's fleshly body was ceaselessly drawn over, falling into the Artifact of Creation to manufacture Yutianzun artifacts.
The moment one Yutianzun artifact was made, it at once soared into the air and went howling off into the distance, flying toward Xu Tianzun. Ling Tianzun gave chase, but could not catch up, and had to stop.
She came to the side of the Artifact of Creation. This artifact was a mighty tool she herself had created; in those years it had been used to manufacture Jue Wuchen.
Later, when the Xiaohan Celestial Court was destroyed, the Artifact of Creation had been seized by the celestial court, only no one had been able to fathom its mysteries.
It was not until Lady Yuanmu transformed into Shiqiluo and took possession of the Zaofu Heavenly Palace that the Artifact of Creation was finally put to use, forging Yutianzun artifacts for the celestial court.
From the time Ling Tianzun made the Artifact of Creation to the time Shiqiluo took control of it, across a span of several hundred thousand years, this artifact had always stood for the supreme Dao of Creation, and no one could comprehend it! Ling Tianzun gazed up at the Artifact of Creation, and was just about to destroy this artifact, when Shen Mu's voice suddenly came: "Ling!
Stop!
" Ling Tianzun halted and looked back. Shen Mu activated the Mystic Body Three Elixirs art and employed the divine arts of the Five Innate Primordials to refine away the remnants of Lingyu Shangzun's divine arts, barely suppressing his injuries, and said in a low voice: "Hao Tianzun told me earlier that the Third and Fourth Young Masters of the Miluo Palace bestowed a treasure upon him, and that this treasure is capable of killing you.
If you go near the Artifact of Creation, you may fall victim to it!
