"When the Western Emperor White Tiger and the Northern Emperor Black Tortoise descend together with their ancestral lands, that will be the moment Heavenly Emperor Hao makes his move! " Heavenly Venerable Yun shook his shoulders forcefully and said in a deep voice, "Brother Mu, I know Heavenly Emperor Hao too well. He will definitely act! If you hesitate, you will lose the entire game!
Hesitate no longer; give the order to act!
" Shen Mu clenched his fists, looked up at his impassioned face, and before he knew it, tears slid down his cheeks, wetting his grey-flecked temples. In a hoarse voice he said, "Heavenly Venerable Yun, you are forcing me to become another you, another Heavenly Venerable Yun, another Emperor Yun! This is not me, not me. .
.
" "But we can win! " Heavenly Venerable Yun's eyes were bright.
"Do you have a better way to break the game? Do you have any other way to stop the Lingguan Hall Master? Make up your mind, Heavenly Venerable Mu!
Time waits for no one! " Shen Mu stared at the stones scattered on the ground. If a good man wishes to defeat a bad man, he must be even more unscrupulous than the bad man. But at that time, is the good man still a good man?
Having defeated the Ten Heavenly Venerables and defeated Heavenly Emperor Hao, would he then be a solitary man seated on the Heavenly Emperor's throne—another of the Ten Heavenly Venerables?
He clenched his fists. What meaning was there left in the Jingping reform?
What meaning was there in the Longhan revolution, the Chiming revolution, the Shanghuang reform, the Kaihuang reform?
He looked at the stones, and in a trance saw himself covered in dragon scales, growing sharp claws and fangs, his face ferocious.
Shen Mu stood up and walked to the edge of the heavens of the Supreme Clarity Realm. There, the great armies of the Heavenly Court were mobilizing; the Heavenly Court had already made ready to begin the decisive battle against the Carefree Land.
Behind Shen Mu, Heavenly Venerable Yun came up and said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, have you decided?
The Lingguan Hall Master is probably about to set out!
" Shen Mu said in a low voice, "Yun, do you think Heavenly Emperor Hao will part ways with the Second Young Master? " Heavenly Venerable Yun was stunned for a moment.
Within the encampment of the Heavenly Court, Heavenly Emperor Hao looked up at the strange omens formed by the descent of the Western Emperor White Tiger and the Northern Emperor Black Tortoise, and smiled slightly. Behind him, the Lingguan Hall Master let out a low shout, and his flesh suddenly split into pieces, landing to transform into Ancient Gods of various forms, their auras incomparably powerful!
"Hall Master, I shall entrust this to you," said Heavenly Emperor Hao with a smile. The Ancient Gods instantly turned into streaks of light and flew off in every direction!
At the place where Jingping bordered the sea of the Southern Sea, there was a range called the Jade Cliff Mountains, where the people of Jingping had built the Jade Cliff Pass.
The pass was incomparably precipitous, like a smooth, sheer cliff that blocked the surging waves of the sea.
The First Patriarch, the Human Sovereign Shen Wu, led the Jingping army commanded by successive Human Sovereigns, and was stationed at the Jade Cliff Pass. On the sea before the pass, meteors suddenly fell one after another, crashing into the sea and stirring up colossal waves.
The waves reached the sky, howling and surging, rushing toward the Jade Cliff Pass! Behind the waves came the remnants of the thirty-nine Route Marquises of the Southern Heaven of the Heavenly Court, following the waves like wildfire spread across the sea, their momentum rolling, charging at the Jade Cliff Pass!
In the sky, blazing flames surged once more.
Countless fire meteors, like raindrops, dragged long tails of fire and thick smoke as they hurtled toward the Jade Cliff Pass!
