Your mother also has another person dwelling in her body!
" Emperor Haotian felt his primordial spirit and his consciousness both shoved to one side, and hastened to rouse his divine powers, striving to separate the Second Young Master from his body. His attainment in the Dao of Creation was not weak; that was how, when the battle of Youdu erupted, he had been able to fight Kaihuang and at the same time send forth a clone to Youdu.
Yet the moment he stirred his Dao of Creation, the Zixiao Hall and the Lingxiao Hall blazed with light and suppressed it. Emperor Haotian's heart went cold.
"Do not waste your effort. " The Second Young Master laughed: "Third and Fourth are a nasty pair; they will never let you release me.
They fear that once you and I are parted, I will go rescue my true body, and then they will lose their grip upon this cosmos. Those two bad boys are shrewd indeed.
That woman just now was your mother?
Offer your mother to me in sacrifice, and I will leave you.
" Emperor Haotian's heart pounded violently, and the Second Young Master giggled: "You are tempted. You truly wish to offer your own mother up to me in sacrifice. " The Lord of the Lingguan Hall hastened to say: "Your Majesty, you must not! " The Second Young Master's gaze swept toward him.
The Lord of the Lingguan Hall hastily retreated, backing out of the hall, saying: "Your Majesty, if the Second Young Master is parted from you, this cosmos will perish within days!
Under no circumstances must she be released!
" The Second Young Master strode out of the hall. The Lord of the Lingguan Hall stood far off, not daring to draw near.
The Second Young Master cast him a glance and laughed coldly: "You are nothing but the gatekeeper of Miluo Palace — and you dare prate?
Speak out of turn again, and I will eat you. " The Lord of the Lingguan Hall dared not utter a word.
The Second Young Master strode out of the palace, and saw the countless armies of the celestial court assaulting Taihuang Heaven and the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Land of No Sorrow; gods and demons of every faction brought forth their arts, and the slaughter shook heaven and split earth.
"The reason Third and Fourth came to terms with me is to borrow my strength against Old Seven! " The Second Young Master gazed far toward the Land of No Sorrow, her eyes coming to rest upon the World Tree, and she laughed: "And it happens that I too wish to deal with Old Seven — so we struck the bargain at once!
" Suddenly her shoulder quivered and another head grew forth, the head of Emperor Haotian, and it said: "Since we share the same enemy, then We.
. .
I shall share one body with the Second Young Master for a time, and deal with Heavenly Venerable Mu together! " The Second Young Master glanced at him, shook her head, and laughed: "How could you be a match for Old Seven? Without me, you are certain to lose this battle!
" Emperor Haotian was greatly unconvinced.
Suddenly the Second Young Master raised a hand and flicked a finger, and at once Emperor Haotian felt a portion of the mana within him drained away, become a lotus seed that flew out before him. His heart stirred: "The Abyss of Return divine art?
" Though the Lord of the Lingguan Hall had no head, five eyes grew upon his body, and he watched this in dismay.
The thing the Second Young Master had flicked forth was a divine art in the shape of a lotus seed.
That seed flew with terrifying speed, leaving a black line upon the air, crossing over the embattled armies of the celestial court and the Land of No Sorrow, and alighting in Taihuang Heaven. Taihuang Heaven had been worn ever thinner by the divine and demonic armies of both sides, and seemed at any moment ready to collapse; yet the two armies still fought furiously, and at every moment countless gods and demons perished.
