Chapter 1071: Bloody Battle with Da Hong (First Update!)
Qin Mu’s eyelids twitched violently, cold sweat soaking his palms.
He had witnessed Da Hong’s battle with Gu Xiao, the reincarnated body of the ancient god Heavenly Emperor. It was truly ferocious and formidable. Although Da Hong was no match for Gu Xiao, he was still no ordinary opponent.
Could he truly contend with him?
Even though Qin Mu had grasped Ling Tianzun’s method to break the Supreme Emperor’s supreme divine consciousness domain, he had no confidence in his heart.
The gap was simply too vast.
Da Hong, with his wide sleeves fluttering, strode directly into the treasure carriage, his gaze falling on Qin Mu.
“Supreme Emperor, how dare you appear here? Do you know that your enemies are everywhere? Above, the Heavenly Duke watches over the Primordial Realm; in the middle, the Great Sun Star Lord monitors the heavens; below, the Earth Mother Primordial Lord controls the Primordial Realm; and Palace Lord Gong Yun scours the land searching for your whereabouts.”
Qin Mu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said with a smile, “You just revealed your divine consciousness divine ability; they won’t miss it. If I were you, I would have left immediately after a single failed strike. Yet you stay to settle scores with me—that’s unwise.”
Da Hong’s face was expressionless as he said calmly, “I know all of this. But the blood-deep enmity must be avenged. You block me, so I kill you. Killing you won’t take much time. After I kill you, I’ll leave at once. Neither the Heavenly Duke nor the Earth Mother will find me, let alone the mere Great Sun Star Lord.”
Qin Mu’s pupils contracted sharply, and he sneered, “Do you think you can kill me in just a few moments? It’s been a hundred thousand years since we last met, hasn’t it? I am not what I was back then—I am more than a hundred times stronger than a hundred thousand years ago! I am already at the Imperial Throne realm; otherwise, how could a mere Dao incarnation of mine have blocked your strike?”
Da Hong’s pupils narrowed, and he sneered back, “Imperial Throne realm? I don’t think so.”
Qin Mu’s expression didn’t change as he said flatly, “What do you think of my divine consciousness cultivation?”
Da Hong’s face shifted slightly.
Qin Mu said calmly, “You won’t gain any advantage. Considering you are an ancient emperor, I won’t make things difficult for you. Leave!”
Da Hong suddenly burst into loud laughter: “Imperial Throne realm? So what? You probably don’t know my divine abilities! Let me show you true ancient ultimate techniques!”
Boom—
His divine consciousness erupted, transforming in an instant into a supreme divine consciousness domain!
The moment the supreme divine consciousness domain expanded, a great spear appeared in his hand. At the same time, everything within the domain came to a standstill, as if time and space had frozen.
The only one who could move was Da Hong!
Whether it was Yan’er, Long Qilin, or the six heavenly dragons, all their movements, even the flow of their blood, came to a halt at this moment.
Within the domain, even the Heavenly River stopped flowing.
The moment he unleashed his supreme divine consciousness domain, Qin Mu finally relaxed. His lie about being at the Imperial Throne realm was precisely to force Da Hong to use his supreme divine consciousness domain!
If he didn’t force out the supreme divine consciousness domain, Qin Mu wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single move from Da Hong and would be killed instantly!
But as long as Da Hong used the supreme divine consciousness domain, Qin Mu would have a sliver of a chance!
As Da Hong’s supreme divine consciousness domain erupted, Qin Mu unleashed the method to break it that he had comprehended from Ling Tianzun’s manuscripts.
Ling Tianzun’s method of breaking was the Dao of Creation, which was the foundation of the Immutable Divine Ability. Qin Mu had a deep understanding of the Immutable Divine Ability, and comprehending the method to break Da Hong’s supreme divine consciousness domain was precisely the right approach!
His sword light burst forth within the supreme divine consciousness domain. In an instant, the tip of his sword flickered, and countless runes leaped from the sword tip, filling the supreme divine consciousness domain.
Da Hong immediately felt his supreme divine consciousness domain freeze and reverse, and his mind roared.
He was cautious by nature. The Supreme Emperor’s main body had gone to the Great Void to exterminate the creators there, while this borrowed body guarded the entrance to the Great Void.
When the Supreme Emperor’s main body died and his divine consciousness was trapped, Da Hong was furious. But knowing that he was no longer a match for the three Heavenly Lords, Yun, Yue, and Ling, he flew in rage to the Xiao Han Heavenly Court, intending to destroy it in his fury.
But what he didn’t expect was that Qin Mu was guarding here and had forced him to use his supreme divine consciousness domain, making him fall into the trap.
This scene was so similar to what had happened in the Great Void!
However, he had already suffered a loss once. His domain had not yet completely frozen or fully reversed—he still had a chance!
Even though his cultivation was now limited, as long as he killed Qin Mu before his breaking divine ability was complete, he could interrupt the reversal of the supreme divine consciousness domain!
“Die!”
Both shouted simultaneously. Within the heavenly dragon treasure carriage, an extremely bright light erupted, like a massive sphere of light, frantically expanding outward!
The waters of the Heavenly River were pushed aside by the sphere of light, forming a huge water ball that surged outward!
Boom—
A terrifying tremor spread in all directions. Amid the shaking, streaks of sword light, like swimming dragons, darted and crisscrossed within the sphere of light, faintly revealing the thirty-three heavens.
A great spear transformed into a dragon vein, with thousands of peaks and mountains breaking through the thirty-three heavens!
Qin Mu’s vertical eye on his forehead opened. The Primordial Egg, the Earth Lord’s Horn, and the Primordial Stone erupted simultaneously, turning into a dazzling divine light that met the Supreme Emperor’s divine spear!
Within his divine eye, ten thousand Dao sounds roared, emitting the Dao tones of ten thousand gods chanting in unison!
Another even more terrifying tremor came, more fearsome than the last, quickly catching up to the first sphere of light and sweeping outward at an even faster speed!
Finally, the light dissipated. A stretch of the Heavenly River, five hundred miles long, had vanished. The heavenly dragon treasure carriage fell from midair.
At the same time, a blue bird flapped its wings and soared, expanding rapidly. It spun wildly in the air, then crashed through the sky and vanished without a trace. Countless white clouds in the sky were blown away, and the blue bird was nowhere to be seen.
Inside the carriage, Qin Mu collapsed to the ground, his chest shattered, his limbs scattered.
Yan’er had just rushed into the carriage when she saw Qin Mu’s limbs strewn across the floor, leaving only his head, which rolled twice on the ground.
Qin Mu’s head stared wide-eyed, stopping at Yan’er’s feet.
“Young master…”
Yan’er fell to her knees with a thud, trembling as she reached out to close Qin Mu’s eyes.
“Yan’er, don’t mess around…”
Qin Mu spat a mouthful of blood onto her hand, barely managing to mobilize his divine consciousness: “Put out the lantern, hurry back to the ghost ship. The senior brother can save me…”
Yan’er was both startled and overjoyed. She hastily tossed his head aside and rushed out of the carriage. When she looked at the lantern hanging on the carriage, she was stunned. The lantern that Wei Suifeng had refined was already destroyed in the terrifying fluctuations just now.
But it was still daytime, not night, and the carriage had not returned to the ghost ship.
Cold sweat broke out on Yan’er’s forehead. She quickly said, “Go to the Netherworld! Fatty Long, go to the Netherworld!”
Just now, Long Qilin had sensed danger and decisively activated the Dragon Taming Scripture. The six heavenly dragons had merged with his body, barely blocking the impact of the divine abilities from the carriage, but he was also severely injured.
Hearing this, Long Qilin immediately dispersed the Dragon Taming Scripture and shouted an order. The six heavenly dragons, dragging their battered bodies, charged forward. Suddenly, the space in front of the heavenly dragon treasure carriage shook, and the carriage pierced into the Netherworld.
The moment the heavenly dragon treasure carriage appeared in the Netherworld, it vanished again, reappearing in the next instant on the ghost ship.
Yan’er rushed out, shouting, “Yun Luo Emperor, come and save us!”
