Chapter 1260: Brother Hao, Please Accept Death (Second Update)
The Heavenly Lord Xi raised his Demon-Subduing Pestle and brought it down onto Hao Heavenly Lord’s head. With a deafening clang, it struck his forehead. The pestle suddenly exploded, Xi Heavenly Lord’s tiger’s mouth split open, and he was uncontrollably thrown backward, spitting blood.
Hao Heavenly Lord opened his mouth and let out a mighty roar. Xi Heavenly Lord’s flesh melted like snow under a scorching sun, his blood and muscles dissolving until his bones were exposed, as he flew backward in a wild tumble.
As Yan Yunxi charged in, she laid down a killing formation. Once activated, it immediately drew upon the terrifying might of heaven and earth, borrowing the Great Dao of the universe to tear Hao Heavenly Lord apart!
She had once used formations to ambush Earth Mother Primordial Lord and the New Earth Mother Primordial Lord, severely wounding those two terrifying entities. Now, her formation’s power was only stronger than it was back then, not weaker!
The moment her formation activated, a massive hand suddenly broke through her killing array, slashed and bloodied, and slapped her with a bloody palm.
Yan Yunxi’s bones snapped and tendons tore, nearly turning into a pile of mush. The hand curled its fingers, about to kill her, when Martial Combat Heavenly Master, now missing one arm, rushed over. His other fist met the hand, but that arm too exploded outright.
Xiu Chong punched Hao Heavenly Lord square in the back, but the next moment, Hao Heavenly Lord used his hand as a blade and slashed horizontally across Xiu Chong’s neck. Xiu Chong’s flesh was incredibly tough, surpassing even other Throne Seat powerhouses, but struck by this hand-blade, his head was severed from his body and flew into the sky.
For a Creator, this was not yet fatal. The moment his head flew up, his headless body immediately wrapped its arms around Hao Heavenly Lord, holding him tight. The head shouted in midair, “Silkworm Girl!”
Silkworm Girl had already flown over. The Seven-Soul Grass in her hand shot out, swishing as it drilled into Hao Heavenly Lord’s body, disrupting his soul.
The Seven-Soul Grass flew into Hao Heavenly Lord’s body, immediately burrowing into the Divine Awareness Great Luo Heaven and plunging into his primordial spirit.
Silkworm Girl screeched, raising a sharp awl to stab at Hao Heavenly Lord’s brain!
At that moment, Xiu Chong’s headless body exploded with a bang. Hao Heavenly Lord’s palm slammed into Silkworm Girl’s face, and her head burst apart. Her headless body turned and fled.
“Wretched Creators!”
Hao Heavenly Lord’s eyes shot forth divine light. The two beams of light crossed like scissors, about to sever Silkworm Girl’s headless body and utterly destroy her divine awareness!
Just then, Xiu Chong’s head flew over and landed on Silkworm Girl’s neck. Their divine awareness merged into a single stream and erupted simultaneously!
Boom!
The two of them, one head and one body, flew up and tumbled outward.
The Woodcutter Sage was furious beyond measure. Hefting his axe, he charged at Hao Heavenly Lord, ready to fight to the death, shouting angrily, “If only you’d waited a moment…”
Suddenly, the Black Tiger God flew over, crying, “Master, flee quickly!”
The Woodcutter Sage passed him, about to swing his axe, when Lu Zheng rushed over. With one arm, he grabbed the barely-breathing Yan Yunxi, and with the other, he snatched the Woodcutter Sage under his armpit, sprinting away, shouting, “Great Heavenly Master, your skills are only good for beating up chicken-dragons. Going forward would just be throwing your life away!”
The Woodcutter Sage, squeezed under his arm, could barely breathe and couldn’t move.
On the other side, Niu Sanduo hoisted Martial Combat Heavenly Master over his shoulder and frantically rushed outward. Crimson Emperor Qi Yayu, Xi Murong, and Xi Heavenly Lord, lacking mounts, could only grit their teeth and flee with their injuries.
The group fled in panic. In an instant, the area around Hao Heavenly Lord emptied, leaving only a few corpses.
Hao Heavenly Lord started to give chase, but suddenly, loud booming sounds erupted from within his body. His flesh kept exploding, and his vital energy and blood surged wildly, escaping from his body!
“Ugh!”
Hao Heavenly Lord lowered his head and spat blood. The moment he did, pieces of spatial mirrors silently appeared around him. Countless spatial runes lit up within them, forming a spatial killing formation.
“Another disciple of Moon Heavenly Lord?”
Hao Heavenly Lord sneered, forcibly suppressing his injuries. He had already used up a considerable amount of the power he had painstakingly accumulated by devouring and refining the Heart Demon Shepherd Heavenly Lord, but the remaining strength was still enough to kill this opponent.
He let out a furious roar. At the same time, the spatial killing formation’s power erupted. Hao Heavenly Lord’s body was drenched in blood, and the spatial formation shattered with a bang from his roar!
Just as the spatial mirrors exploded, Hao Heavenly Lord’s pupils contracted sharply. Floating before him was a lantern.
Within the lantern, light converged into a single line—a string that stretched for thousands of miles!
A pale hand held this string, pulling it back!
The moment he broke through the spatial killing formation, the string had already been released.
A note of music rang out, melodious and far-reaching.
Though the sound was distant, its speed was swift. The spatial light-string quickly reached him!
Hao Heavenly Lord roared, raising his hand to strike forward. The space before him shattered, and a massive hand met the light-string, punching through the sky above the Dark Canyon, chasing straight toward the one who had plucked the string.
As his hand passed through the light-string, four fingers were severed cleanly, cut off by the light-string. The remaining single finger struck the sky a thousand miles away.
That patch of sky exploded with a crash. Bai Yuqiong, hidden there, spat blood as she was thrown out of the void, concealing her form and fleeing in panic.
The light-string reached Hao Heavenly Lord’s neck and swept past.
Hao Heavenly Lord covered his neck with his other hand. A bloodstain appeared on it.
A bloodstain also appeared on the back of his neck!
“How dare you kill me… You rebels…”
Before his fury could subside, another rumbling explosion came from within his body. A violent surge of vital energy and blood suddenly blasted his head into the air.
That light-string, a treasure of Moon Heavenly Lord, had still managed to sever his head.
“Come back!”
Hao Heavenly Lord’s head shouted loudly. The blood plasma he had spat out swished back into his body, and his head fell back onto his neck.
“Not one of you will escape!”
The explosions within his body continued unabated, yet he strode outward. As one of the most powerful beings in history, he believed that even the Heavenly Emperor reborn would not be much stronger than him. And now, he had been wounded to this extent by a few petty thieves!
For a Heavenly Lord, a figure who had achieved fame in the Dragon Han Era, the foremost of the Ten Heavenly Lords, and the most likely candidate to become the future Heavenly Emperor, this was an utter disgrace, unbearable!
Just as he stepped out of the nest, his pace suddenly halted. He did not pursue further.
A trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
Before him stood thousands of Heart Demon Shepherd Heavenly Lords, lined up in perfect order!
These Heart Demon Shepherd Heavenly Lords were arranged neatly, their ranks unbroken, as if they were a fierce army awaiting a general’s inspection.
“Shepherd Heavenly Lord, is that you?”
Hao Heavenly Lord exhaled a turbid breath, his gaze sweeping over the myriad Heart Demon Shepherd Heavenly Lords. He sneered, “I know you’re here. Only you could control so many heart demons. Hmph, Shepherd Heavenly Lord, do you only dare to hide among them?”
“Not hiding.”
Suddenly, Qin Mu’s voice came from the center of the Heart Demon Shepherd Heavenly Lord formation, leisurely: “Rather, I am confronting you head-on.”
The sneer on Hao Heavenly Lord’s face deepened. He was about to speak when Qin Mu’s voice rang out: “Divine Treasury Domain, open!”
As his voice fell, the Divine Treasury Domain bloomed!
The myriad Heart Demon Shepherd Heavenly Lords either rose into the air or sank down. Some transformed into Heavenly Lord, others into Earth Lord, others into the Four Emperors of the Four Extremes Heavens, and still others into countless resplendent ancient gods!
Qin Mu stood at the very center of the domain, beneath the Great Black Tree in the Ancestral Court Continent, gazing at Hao Heavenly Lord: “Brother Hao, please accept death.”
