Chapter 1282: The Primordial Beginning Strikes (Fourth Update!)
The Primordial Beginning within the egg waited anxiously, the round egg spinning around in all directions, but it saw no trace of Primordial Permanence. It thought to itself, “Didn’t he say he was coming to help? Should I slip away…”
Medicine Master and the others were full of confidence, believing they could contend with that powerhouse from the previous universe, but he knew full well how terrifying that being was.
That person’s divine bow had fallen into Qin Mu’s hands, and it could erupt with power comparable to an Imperial Throne-level treasure. Qin Mu’s magical power was equivalent to that of a god or demon at the Jade Capital realm. Qin Mu’s strength lay in the refinement of his divine techniques and Dao patterns, but his magical power had not yet reached the level of the Empyrean.
In other words, with magical power at the Jade Capital realm, he could elevate the bow’s might to the level of an Imperial Throne treasure. One could imagine how astonishing the bow’s full power would be when unleashed!
And as the master of that bow, how terrifying must that being’s strength be?
An existence like that, even with both arms severed, entering the valley would be far beyond what the group could contend with. They would only be slaughtered!
Even adding the Primordial Beginning in the egg wouldn’t be enough!
The Primordial Beginning Egg wanted to flee, but upon second thought, it realized there was nowhere in the vast world for it to go.
The Primordial Beginning vein had fallen into Yan Tianfei’s hands, and the ancestral court was blocked at its gate by the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns. It couldn’t even fly out of the ancestral court.
It was just an egg—where could it run?
If it ran around recklessly, it might even be caught by those damned void beasts and cracked open to be eaten.
Qin Mu had rescued it from the Zhaoyang Hall, but wasn’t the outside world just a larger cage?
Moreover, with a powerhouse from the previous universe breaking out, could it truly stay out of the fray?
Those prehistoric powerhouses would likely target the Five Primordials first, then eliminate the other ancient gods!
“Primordial Permanence has transcended, but he remains here. Perhaps he has realized the duty of us Five Primordials…”
It grew still, abandoning any thought of slipping away.
The strange phenomenon reappeared.
That existence from the previous universe drew closer and closer to the cliff wall. The moment his palm broke through the wall, his skin began to fester, revealing bare white bones.
Yet the being himself within the wall seemed unaware of Medicine Master’s poison, his arm still reaching outward.
Medicine Master’s poison corroded his skin’s texture, his flesh’s structure, and invaded his bones. The potency and ferocity of this toxin were something even Qin Mu had never seen before.
In the art of medicine, Medicine Master had indeed blazed a trail no one had ever walked before!
Finally, the existence from the previous universe fully extended one arm, which had now become a skeleton.
“Now!”
Medicine Master roared. Blind’s small body shook violently. The Array Heavenly Palace emerged behind him, and a celestial river flowed out from it, threading through his other divine treasuries, coiling around him like a dragon!
Buzz—
Countless magnificent array patterns spread out around him, dazzlingly beautiful. Starting from the heavenly palace, they unfolded layer upon layer, forming thirteen layers of heavenly array formations in a short time, drawing in the spiritual energy and power of heaven and earth.
As a grandmaster of arrays, one could not measure combat strength solely by personal cultivation. A grandmaster of arrays could leverage the advantages of time and place to unleash even greater power!
Blind’s array mastery had unknowingly surpassed Yan Yunxi. Compared to Han Tianjun, the number one array master of the Heavenly Court, his arrays were in no way inferior, and he had even surpassed him in the Dao of arrays!
After all, he had already touched the edge of constructing the Heavenly Court with arrays!
“Dragon Expansion!”
Blind gripped the Black Dragon Divine Spear. The thirteen layers of heavenly arrays around him suddenly stood upright. His eyes blazed with extraordinary brightness as he gazed at that arm through the thirteen heavens.
The Black Dragon Divine Spear in his hand slithered, and he thrust it forward!
A dragon’s roar shook the valley!
Blind struck with all his might. The Dragon Expansion Divine Spear moved like a gust of wind and lightning, stabbing out countless times in an instant. Ding, ding, ding—it madly struck every part of that skeletal arm.
A faint crackling sound came continuously, and tiny fissures appeared on the surface of the skeletal arm!
Even though Blind had mobilized the thirteen layers of heavenly arrays, drawing in the spiritual energy and power of heaven and earth, his own momentum decayed wildly with each thrust of the spear.
The rate of his aura’s decline was enough to make one’s heart pound!
At the same time, Mute let out a roar. Thunder exploded in the valley, deafening, audible even in every corner of the Great Black Wood’s ten thousand black mountains. The thunder echoed back and forth between the peaks, its resonance lingering.
In the valley, it was as if a sun was rising, growing brighter and brighter.
That was Mute’s Forging Heavenly Palace, radiating blazing fire. In the light like a scorching sun, Mute’s primordial spirit swelled within the palace, his body growing taller and taller.
Meanwhile, Mute’s physical body also expanded. He had originally looked like a weathered old blacksmith, but now his muscles bulged fiercely, his physique robust, and his body and primordial spirit gradually overlapped!
Within the flames and light, this giant swung his forging hammer. The sun-like blazing fire flowed into his hammer!
Mute brought the hammer down, employing both micro-forging and macro-forging!
Who said a blacksmith could only forge iron?
Mute could not only forge iron but also use extremely violent means to destroy others’ divine weapons!
In forging, he was a grandmaster; in destroying divine weapons, he was also a grandmaster!
Now that his Forging Heavenly Palace was complete, to others, he was a walking human-shaped divine weapon of destruction!
And destroying a divine weapon was harder than destroying a physical body. Under his hammer, nothing was unbreakable!
Boom—
His hammer fell, and that arm shattered instantly, countless bone fragments flying everywhere. Then those fragments continued to break apart under his terrifying strike, as if countless invisible giants were wielding tiny hammers, meticulously smashing every particle of the bone fragments!
The hammer struck the ground, and the valley shook violently.
Mute lifted his hammer, a look of joy on his face. At the same time, smiles appeared on the faces of Medicine Master and Blind.
They had finally succeeded!
But the next moment, the smiles froze on their faces.
The gaunt figure on the cliff wall, though both arms were now severed, continued to walk forward. His face and one leg had already stepped out of the wall!
That face showed an expression of extreme rage, and then his face began to fester—the effect of Medicine Master’s poison.
The leg he had stepped out of the stone wall was also rotting, revealing white bones. Medicine Master’s poison was too fierce. It didn’t just attack the body and disrupt its functions; it also targeted his Dao, causing the Dao he had cultivated to decompose, Dao chains to break, Dao patterns to collapse, and runes to split into indivisible fine particles.
But his strength was too formidable. His face soon stopped festering, and the poison on his leg was expelled from his body.
Blind struggled to drive the Dragon Expansion Divine Spear into the ground. Array patterns erupted. He pulled out the spear, grabbed Medicine Master with one hand, and retreated rapidly. Mute also fell back.
At the same time, Yan’er stepped forward with Yue Tiansi’s lantern, activating its power.
Long Qilin spun the Glazed Azure Heavenly Canopy. The layers of heavens in the canopy rotated and spread open. The dazzling treasures within those heavens shone like stars, gradually lighting up.
The heavens rose, sweeping up everyone in the valley.
The gaunt figure’s eyes blazed with extraordinary brightness. His head had already left the stone wall. Behind him on the wall, a shadow appeared, drawing a bow.
Though it was just a shadow, it radiated overwhelming power!
