What idle dreaming, you think far too little of me.
" Beneath her feet the shattered lotus throne reappeared, turning ceaselessly, remaking itself, and upon the sea the scattered broken lotus leaves were restored once more.
The Dao spear in Young Master Lingxiao's hand, with which he suppressed the Chaos Sea, trembled without cease, barely holding the sea down, and his face grew grave.
Even wounded to such a state, Young Master Wuji still possessed power far beyond his reach.
Young Master Zixiao slapped his hand upon his ancient zither, and with a click one end of the zither opened, revealing a sword hilt.
He gripped the hilt, the veins standing out upon the back of his hand.
The zither had been his late wife's Dao weapon, but the sword in the zither was his own.
After he became one of the Four Young Masters of Miluo Palace, longing for his late wife, he refined her Dao weapon without cease, until the zither's might had surpassed those bygone days manyfold.
Yet the weapon truly suited to his hand remained the sword in the zither, the weapon of his attainment when he had been Universal Emperor, which had suppressed a universe through its long history.
Shen Mu drew a long breath, Moon Heavenly Sovereign's heart stirred, and she hastily stepped aside, only to see within the Chaos Palace behind her the light of Dao fruits piercing through Chaos and lighting that treasured hall.
Looking back, she saw the chains of Dao within the fruits interweaving, shining upon Shen Mu's World Tree with dazzling brilliance.
Upon that World Tree the veins of a thousand branches and myriad leaves flowed unceasingly, the Great Dao like dragons, becoming the patterns of those leaves and boughs.
"Mu too has used every means. " Moon Heavenly Sovereign's heart sank.
The chains of Dao given off by Shen Mu's three Dao fruits and three Dao flowers wove into the vision of sixteen Chaos rivers, much like the sixteen rivers within the Chaos Palace. This was Shen Mu's thirty-sixth Heavenly Dao Realm, yet unfinished.
The Universe Grand Bell was Shen Mu's thirty-fifth Heavenly Dao Realm, completed three thousand years ago, but upon the thirty-sixth Heavenly Dao Realm Shen Mu had spent more than three thousand years, and it had only taken rough shape, never fully cultivated.
At the thirty-fifth Heavenly Dao Realm, Xu Shenghua, Lan Yutian, Kaihuang, Taishi and the others had aided Shen Mu greatly, yet at the thirty-sixth Dao Realm even beings like Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian could help him not at all, and he could only comprehend it gradually by himself.
Shen Mu even felt that this realm might require him to return to the past and live through sixteen cosmic eras before it could be completed.
Still, the divine power harbored in the thirty-sixth Heavenly Dao Realm already possessed uncommon might.
That Shen Mu prepared to use this move showed that he too lacked confidence to meet the present straits.
This move was not yet mature, and to use it rashly might well see it broken by the foe and leave himself passive. With a splash, Elder Wuyai scooped up Chaos water to wash the blood from his face, breaking the stillness.
No longer kind and kindly as before, his face tinged with green, he sneered, "Wuji, we have only one road, and that is to kill them all.
Afterward I shall leave Guixu, and you can escape.
" Before his words fell, Young Master Wuji had already struck with force.
With a roar the Chaos Sea boiled, shaking Young Master Lingxiao's hands until they trembled, his Dao spear unable to hold the sea.
Young Master Lingxiao leapt high, turned once in the air, drew his Dao spear, and swung it down upon Wuji. At the same instant Young Master Zixiao drew the sword in the zither, the zither's music swelling loud as it flew circling about him, and in a flash his figure filled countless alien Grand Luo Heavens, thrusting at Wuji from all sides.
