Chapter 1130: Heretic Sovereign Tries Splitting the Ancient God Egg (Fourth Update)
In the potted landscape world, Qin Mu entered dreams time and time again, experiencing countless failures. Ling Tianzun's principle of matter immutability was gradually being figured out by him.
This divine ability was slowly becoming more and more complete.
Learning this divine ability was already extremely difficult, so one could imagine how heaven-defying Ling Tianzun's talent and comprehension must have been to conceive it!
No wonder Imperial Sovereign Yu once said that in terms of aptitude and insight, Ling Tianzun was the highest, and even he was inferior to her.
However, Qin Mu discovered an even more severe fact: after fully executing the matter immutability divine ability, he himself would transform into immutable matter!
That is to say, this divine ability would lead to a terrifying outcome—the user would be assimilated by the ability, turning into immutable matter, unable to escape this state!
He entered dreams again and again, attempting it over and over, but the result was always the same. The Qin Mu in the dream would transform into immutable matter, becoming a mass of mist!
The mist on the Yong River was Ling Tianzun. After executing this divine ability, she was assimilated into immutable matter, trapping even herself within the immutability divine ability, unable to break free!
Of course, when she transformed into immutable matter, she also dragged in the then-incarnation of the Imperial Sovereign, the eleventh Heavenly Sovereign, Ming Fangyu.
Ming Fangyu was piloting the true physical body of the Heavenly Emperor, which forced the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns to use the Creation Divine Artifact to forge another Heavenly Emperor to maintain their rule.
The most terrifying thing was not how many people this divine ability trapped, but that after executing it, the user could not free themselves from matter immutability. Even Ming Fangyu, combined with the ancient god Heavenly Emperor's physical body, could not break through the immutability divine ability and escape the endless cycles!
The Qin Mu in the dream was the same. He executed this divine ability again and again, only to be assimilated each time.
The tiny Qin Mu in the dream turned into mist, forever lost within it.
He wanted to find a way out for Ling Tianzun, but every time was the same, with no exceptions!
This meant that if Qin Mu fully executed the matter immutability divine ability, he too would transform into immutable matter, ending up in the same situation as Ling Tianzun!
However, he did discover one thing: using fragments of the immutability divine ability would not cause him to be assimilated. This was also why Ling Tianzun, before perfecting the immutability divine ability, used the ghost ship to exile the Yulin Army.
Finally, Qin Mu stopped entering dreams and instead took out the five runes he had comprehended from the Primordial Beginning Egg.
"The only way to save Senior Brother and Ling Tianzun is to use the Primordial Beginning Egg to break Ling Tianzun's divine ability. Whether it can be broken depends on verifying whether these five runes are correct."
Qin Mu steadied himself. In his dreams, he felt as if he had experienced hundreds of thousands of years of vicissitudes—an illusion brought on by the material changes within the dream.
These five runes were the Primordial Beginning Dao runes he had comprehended from the Primordial Beginning Egg. When Wei Suifeng struck the Primordial Beginning Egg with all his might, the egg erupted with infinite Dao light, briefly breaking through the ghost ship and temporarily freeing it from matter immutability. However, it soon fell back into that state.
At that time, Qin Mu knew that the Primordial Beginning Dao was absolutely the nemesis of the matter immutability divine ability.
Whether the five runes he had comprehended from the Primordial Beginning Egg were correct had to be verified using Ling Tianzun's divine ability.
He meticulously listed the runes required for Ling Tianzun's divine ability. All around him, strange symbols formed from his primordial qi flickered on and off, containing unpredictable and unfathomable power.
Qin Mu was very careful. He could not combine these runes into the complete matter immutability divine ability, or he himself would fall into it and become immutable matter.
He cautiously assembled the runes of the immutability divine ability into fragments of the ability, then brought them into contact with the five runes, testing the reactions between them.
"This rune is wrong."
"This rune is also wrong!"
"This one is incorrect too..."
...
After testing all five runes, he frowned. These five runes were the Primordial Beginning runes he had deduced from the Primordial Beginning Egg using all his wisdom, yet every single one was wrong!
He grew restless, pacing back and forth, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck. He took out the Primordial Beginning Egg and placed it in the middle of the immutability runes.
"These five runes were deduced from the Dao sounds. The Primordial Beginning Dao contained in the Dao sounds might not be complete. Back then, when Senior Brother struck the ancient god egg, he broke three of his fingers. At that time, the egg's counterattack produced not only Dao sounds but also Dao-light-formed patterns!"
Qin Mu's eyes flickered. He once again activated fragments of the immutability divine ability and struck them toward the ancient god egg!
He actively attacked the egg, intending to provoke it into another counterattack, thereby unleashing the magnificent Dao patterns he had seen on the ghost ship. From those patterns, he could comprehend the principles missing from the five runes!
As the immutability divine ability was activated and just landed on the Primordial Beginning Egg, the perfectly round, flawless ancient god egg burst into brilliant light. Dao sounds erupted, like the simultaneous prayers and chants of billions of beings and ancient gods!
Qin Mu's ears rang with a deafening hum. His third divine eye on his forehead opened wide, staring intently at the Dao patterns radiating from the ancient god egg!
Outside, Yan'er was carrying a basket, walking briskly toward the farmland. Dragon Qilin was plowing the fields, having already tilled a hundred acres, planning to plant some vegetables and spiritual herbs.
Yan'er took off a towel and carefully wiped the sweat from Dragon Qilin's forehead. She lifted the basket and smiled, "Pi Lang, look! I've heated up a plate of spirit pills for you."
Dragon Qilin, in his qilin-headed youth form, sat on the edge of the field, eating the steaming spirit pills. Yan'er fed him water and said softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke..."
Outside, the forest shook, and rows of trees fell. Little Earth Lord emerged from the woods, dragging a winged fragrant elephant. This elephant was a demigod from the Southern Heaven, flying in the sky when he knocked it down and dragged it here to eat.
Little Earth Lord pulled the elephant to the edge of the field and was about to step into it when Dragon Qilin hurriedly drove him out, saying, "The medicinal herbs have just been planted—don't ruin them!"
Little Earth Lord set the elephant aside and looked at Yan'er pitifully, letting out a "Moo!"
Yan'er was about to help him roast the elephant when she suddenly turned her head toward the house Qin Mu had visualized. The house suddenly lit up, and the next moment, an incredibly terrifying light burst forth, tearing the house apart!
Whoosh—
A violent blast of wind turned the house to dust. The resounding Dao sounds shook the air, light exploded, the ground cracked, and the earth trembled!
Yan'er quickly spread her wings, shielding Dragon Qilin and Little Earth Lord with a swoosh, blocking the terrifying shockwave!
In that instant, she only caught a glimpse of Qin Mu flailing wildly, being crushed by the terrifying force and sent flying into the distance.
Yan'er quickly looked up and saw a puff of white smoke erupt from a distant mountain peak, followed by another puff from behind it. The white smoke came from shattered rock, as the mountain was pulverized by the impact.
Another mountain peak in the distance emitted white smoke. Looking further away, one mountain after another was pierced through by Qin Mu, with no telling when he would stop.
Yan'er folded her wings. Dragon Qilin's face changed drastically, and he stamped his foot, "Our medicinal fields are ruined!"
Yan'er said uneasily, "Pi Lang, you should be more worried about the young master!"
Dragon Qilin quickly looked toward the house area, only to see a large crater there. The perfectly round Primordial Beginning Egg lay quietly at the bottom of the pit, its surface Dao patterns slowly fading away.
"You stay here and guard this egg. I'll go find the young master!" Yan'er flapped her wings and flew off.
Dragon Qilin acknowledged and called Little Earth Lord over to guard the ancient god egg together. Little Earth Lord lay on the egg, listened for a moment, then turned back and tested, "Moo?"
Dragon Qilin patted his little head. "This one can't be eaten. It won't cook through."
"Moo..." Little Earth Lord was very sad.
