Chapter 1227: A Single Blow Fatal Kill (First Update)
Qin Mu activated the Reincarnation Heavenly Palace, and the Dao of Reincarnation instantly freed him from the cycle, restoring his self-awareness.
On the other side, Yu Wufei exhausted every ounce of her strength to withstand this strike, but she still could not hold out. As a great expert at the Lingxiao realm, she poured all her power into the defense, yet Qin Mu’s attack was also a full-force strike. How terrifying was the Dao might within the Divine Treasury Domain?
Qin Mu rarely encountered evenly matched opponents. Either his enemy’s cultivation level far surpassed his own, or their strength fell far short of his. Yu Wufei’s cultivation realm and magical power far exceeded Qin Mu’s, but her understanding of the Dao was shallow, and she cultivated the traditional Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace system. While she possessed the strength to kill Qin Mu, Qin Mu also had the power to kill her.
However, Yu Wufei did not recognize Qin Mu’s Divine Treasury Domain. She rashly charged into it, losing the initiative. With this strike, Qin Mu mobilized all the power of the Great Dao within the Divine Treasury Domain. The first to strike Yu Wufei were the Forty-Nine Heavenly Daos.
The Heavenly Daos descended from the sky, taking form as forty-nine kinds of Heavenly Dao treasures! The Heavenly Compass was like a dipper, the Heavenly Mechanism like an umbrella, along with the Heavenly Seal, Heavenly Fire, Heavenly Beggar, Heavenly Mystery, Heavenly Vault, Heavenly Wind, Heavenly Pole, Heavenly Time, Heavenly Square, Heavenly Sun, and Heavenly Moon—shaped like seals, crystals, fans, ladles, covers, drives, awls, sundials, square plates, sun pearls, moon pearls, and other forms of forty-nine treasures.
As these forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures crashed down, the Heavenly River flowed through, unifying the power of the forty-nine Heavenly Daos into one, with boundless might! Yu Wufei was pinned firmly to the ground. Just as she tried to resist, the Thirty-Six Great Daos of the Yuan Realm surged forth, locking her feet. From her legs, strands of the Yuan Capital Dao pierced through her skin like roots, boring through her flesh and anchoring her firmly to the earth of the Yuan Realm.
Not only that, the Sixty-Four Great Daos of the Nether Realm swept in, binding her primordial spirit, preventing it from escaping. Moreover, the Great Dao techniques of the Four Extremes Heavens howled in from all directions, bombarding her from every side. Additionally, the Great Dao techniques of the Nether Yin Realm invaded her primordial spirit. With a single blow, her three souls and seven spirits were nearly shattered. Her soul scattered, turning into black soul-sand that sprayed from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
This was not the most terrifying part. The power from Qin Mu’s seventeen heavenly palaces twisted into a single force, accompanied by the Overlord Body Three-Pellet Art, striking with a single blow. This attack contained not only the supreme divine sense technique of the Great Luo but also Qin Mu’s Reincarnation technique and Sword Domain! Meanwhile, the five major mineral veins in the Ancestral Court also trembled, each releasing strange and unique powers.
Yu Wufei and the many female generals in her heavenly palace showed expressions of despair. The divine techniques and Dao methods contained in Qin Mu’s strike were many that they had never seen or heard of before!
Just then, they heard the sound of a bell ringing. This bell sound filled Yu Wufei with ecstasy, and a glimmer of hope for survival arose within her: “Chaojin has come to save me…”
She pushed her cultivation to the limit. The female generals in her heavenly palace showed looks of horror, feeling their own power rapidly draining away, devoured by Yu Wufei! Clearly, Yu Wufei intended to completely devour their strength to preserve her own life, giving herself a chance to survive while waiting for the Nether Heavenly Emperor’s rescue.
These women were all generals under the Nether Heavenly Emperor’s command. They wanted to curse loudly, but at this moment, they couldn’t even utter a sound. The Divine Treasury Domain’s power erupted, engulfing them along with Yu Wufei!
A terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, destroying mountains and rivers along its path. This fluctuation even reached the Heavenly Court Divine City in the Taixu region. The protective formation of the divine city activated in response, and a vast, magnificent divine light shot into the sky. In an instant, the sky was filled with bright runes of every color. Various divine and demonic languages, accompanied by resounding Dao sounds, echoed without end!
Yu Wufei was severely wounded by Qin Mu’s strike. Spitting blood, she flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground. She tumbled and rolled for over a hundred li before finally coming to a stop. The female generals in her heavenly palace were not so fortunate. Yu Wufei had drained their cultivation, so when Qin Mu’s technique’s power erupted, they died instantly under the full-force blow of the Divine Treasury Domain.
Yu Wufei finally stopped. Her body was covered in wounds, and countless bones were broken. She struggled to get up but couldn’t. Just then, she saw a pair of feet stop in front of her. “Chaojin…” Yu Wufei looked up full of hope, only to see Yin Jiuzun’s smirking face.
Yin Jiuzun looked into the distance. The Qin Mu who had been so imposing moments ago now lay stiffly on the ground. Though he still breathed, his eyes were vacant. This was a sign of being struck by the Reincarnation Bell, his soul falling into endless reincarnation. The Reincarnation Bell seemed like just a single ring, with no world-shattering power, but its effect targeted the soul. With one ring, the soul fell into reincarnation, experiencing a hundred lifetimes in an instant, or even eternal damnation without rebirth! Qin Mu’s current symptoms clearly showed that his soul had already reincarnated countless times, forgetting all his former skills, leaving only an empty shell.
“Let your aunt down, did I?” Yin Jiuzun lowered his head and chuckled. “Aunt, do you remember how you seduced my father, had my mother thrown into the cold palace, and then secretly had her killed?”
Yu Wufei shuddered with terror, struggling to speak: “That was your father’s idea too. It had nothing to do with me…”
Yin Jiuzun grabbed the bell’s nose ring, raised the massive bell, and slammed it down hard! *Clang!* A bell sound rang out. Yu Wufei was shattered into pieces, her blood staining the bell’s walls. Her primordial spirit was also shaken to dust, making even reincarnation impossible.
Yin Jiuzun lifted the blood-dripping Reincarnation Bell and chuckled darkly: “My father was a dashing and romantic man. If you weren’t so beautiful, how could he have changed his affections? If you want to blame someone, don’t blame my father. Blame yourself for being too beautiful. I won’t blame my father. Men, after all…”
He carried the Reincarnation Bell and strode toward the fallen Qin Mu on the ground, laughing: “I’ve waited so long, finally finding this chance to earn merit. Mu Tianzun, my father wasn’t wrong. You truly have extraordinary abilities. I’ve been lurking nearby for so long, finally finding an opportunity to ambush you. Your luck has run out.”
*Dong!* He struck the Reincarnation Bell hard, sending another blast toward Qin Mu. The bell sound rang out. Qin Mu’s body, lying on the ground, trembled violently, his eyes growing even more vacant and lost.
Yin Jiuzun, inheriting the Nether Heavenly Emperor’s caution, stood at a distance and struck the Reincarnation Bell forcefully again. The bell sounded repeatedly, several times in succession. Only then did Yin Jiuzun feel relieved. He strode forward, and with a thought, produced a divine blade. He gently rotated his hand, and the Reincarnation Bell shrank into a small bell hanging under his neck.
Yin Jiuzun held the blade in one hand and grabbed Qin Mu by the neck with the other. Just as he was about to cut off Qin Mu’s head to present as a trophy, suddenly the vertical eye on Qin Mu’s forehead opened. Qin Mu smiled and said: “Nephew, if it were your father, he would have chopped me into pieces, and even then, he wouldn’t be sure I was truly dead. Nephew, you’re still a bit green—”
Yin Jiuzun shuddered with terror. But at that moment, a beam of light shot from the vertical eye on Qin Mu’s forehead, entering through Yin Jiuzun’s brow and exiting through the back of his head. The terrifying power directly exploded Yin Jiuzun’s head, turning it into a mist of blood!
