Chapter 1306: The Divine Beast King (Second Update)
Lan Yutian had no real impression of these worldly morals and didn’t find anything amiss. Xu Shenghua, as always, wore a single unchanging expression, revealing no surprise. The other followers, however, erupted into an uproar.
“The reason the Grand Emperor absolutely had to eliminate the Divine Sovereign of Langxuan was because Gongjun dropped and killed her son with the Grand Emperor, yet she kept her son Langxuan with Taichu.”
Taiyi said, “That’s exactly the reason. The Grand Emperor has always been displeased with Langxuan, feeling that since his and Gongjun’s son died, then Taichu and Gongjun’s son must also die.”
Xu Shenghua remarked, “The ancient times were truly chaotic.”
Taiyi chuckled, “It’s always been this chaotic. You see Langxuan is on the defensive now, but in the next moment, it will be the Grand Emperor who’s getting beaten.”
Everyone looked up toward the sky above. This was the Chaos Sea, shielded by the Chaos Sea and Taiyi’s staff. No matter how fierce the battle above, it didn’t affect them in the slightest.
Indeed, as the Grand Emperor had said, the Divine Sovereign of Langxuan hadn’t fully merged the Dao of Divine Consciousness with the Primordial One Qi. He had only comprehended that one move. His primordial spirit repeatedly used that single divine ability, called the Divine Origin Finger.
The Divine Origin Finger was the first Taichu divine ability. Not even the Heavenly Sovereign Hao, let alone the Celestial Emperor Taichu, could use it. Unfortunately, the Grand Emperor was on guard, making it difficult for this move to succeed.
The Divine Sovereign of Langxuan was trapped in a defensive position, his neck almost severed by the Grand Emperor. Facing the Grand Emperor, his injuries grew worse and worse. Fortunately, he had the great divine ability of the Divine Origin Finger, which posed a threat to the Grand Emperor’s strength; otherwise, he would have lost faster and more miserably!
Deep in the void, Qin Mu unleashed his own great divine ability, the Other Shore Divine Boat Crossing, sailing through the void and shuttling through the twenty-ninth layer of void. The pressure of the void had no effect on him.
However, if he dispersed this great divine ability, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the twenty-ninth void. The pressure was too great and would endanger his own life.
His divine ability took the form of an other shore divine boat. Standing at the bow of this boat-shaped divine ability, he watched the battle between the Grand Emperor and Langxuan, and said in surprise, “The Divine Sovereign of Langxuan is still remarkable. This move of his should be derived from the finger strike with which the Divine King Gongjun gouged out the Grand Emperor’s vertical eye on his forehead, combined with the Primordial One Qi. Truly impressive!”
Each of the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns had their own divine abilities, each with something that made one’s eyes light up!
Earlier, there was the Heavenly Sovereign Hao overpowering the Grand Emperor, using the Guixu Great Dao and the Primordial One Qi in a zero-one transformation, which was mind-boggling.
Now, the Divine Sovereign of Langxuan’s Divine Origin Finger displayed the power of the Taichu Great Dao for the first time, equally brilliant!
He watched with great interest. Just as Langxuan was about to die under the Grand Emperor’s attack, the sky suddenly became extremely bright. The forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures blasted forth simultaneously, each treasure unleashing the might of the Heavenly Dao, shaking the Grand Emperor’s body and making his steps falter.
“The Ancestral Divine King has made his move!”
Qin Mu clenched his fists in excitement. But at that moment, the Other Shore Divine Boat beneath his feet turned ethereal and disappeared. Qin Mu’s joy turned to sorrow as he was immediately crushed and nullified by the twenty-ninth void.
His form sank, falling into the twenty-eighth void. Then, his divine ability erupted, and he set sail again, diving back into the twenty-ninth void.
With the power of his divine ability, he could shuttle into the thirtieth void, but if his divine ability dispersed, the thirtieth void would be too dangerous for him. So, staying in the twenty-ninth void was safer.
The residual waves of the divine abilities from the Grand Emperor and the Divine Sovereign of Langxuan, when they reached here, were already extremely weak and posed little threat to him.
But falling into the twenty-eighth void would greatly increase the danger to him.
The Ancestral Divine King’s forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures shook the Grand Emperor, but they didn’t threaten his life. However, in the next moment, the forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures combined perfectly, merging in pairs to form a supreme treasure!
It was a strange weapon with the Heavenly Pillar as its shaft. The Heavenly Well, Heavenly Abyss, Heavenly Net, Heavenly Origin, Heavenly Plate, Heavenly Dimension, and other treasures attached themselves to the Heavenly Pillar, making the weapon thick in some places and thin in others, shaped like a blade in some spots and a spear in others.
A large hand reached out and grasped the center of the Heavenly Pillar. The Ancestral Divine King’s scarlet cape fluttered noisily as he swung this supreme treasure. His form spun rapidly, and the weapon transformed, with the Heavenly Blade leading the way. With a *zheng* sound, it struck the Grand Emperor’s waist!
The Grand Emperor grunted, staggering back, blood flowing from his waist.
This supreme treasure, formed from the combined forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures, was terrifyingly powerful, already capable of threatening him!
The Ancestral Divine King raised the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure, turned the blade, and struck the Grand Emperor with the handle. At the handle, the Heavenly Bell fluttered, and with a *dang* sound, the heavenly tone shook, striking the Grand Emperor’s divine consciousness and scattering it.
The Ancestral Divine King stepped forward. The Heavenly Bell retreated to the second line, and the Heavenly Beam became the weapon. The Heavenly Beam was like a tower, and he used it as a hammer, smashing it onto the Grand Emperor’s forehead!
On the other side, the Divine Sovereign of Langxuan recovered his senses, reattached his neck, and used the Divine Origin Finger again, striking it into the Grand Emperor’s brow!
With two Heavenly Sovereigns joining forces, the situation reversed. The Grand Emperor retreated repeatedly, fending off the attacks of the two Heavenly Sovereigns, but he attacked less and defended more, sustaining wounds all over his body.
Qin Mu clenched his fists in excitement, staring at the Grand Emperor’s brow.
The Taichu Primordial Stone was there. It wouldn’t be long before this stone was crushed, and then he could reclaim it!
Suddenly, his gaze inadvertently swept over the distant Void Mother Beast, and he froze. He saw the Void Mother Beast hiding in the seventeenth void, with countless void beasts surging like a tide into that layer.
“The Grand Emperor still has the strength to control these void beasts? What is he planning?”
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he saw the Void Mother Beast’s eyelids lift upward, revealing a huge mouth. The giant void beasts lined up in orderly ranks, marching into the Void Mother Beast’s mouth!
Inside the mother beast’s mouth, countless sharp teeth rotated automatically, chopping up and devouring the void beasts that walked in!
Qin Mu was stunned. He saw the Void Mother Beast’s body visibly swelling, growing larger and larger, and the void patterns on its surface becoming clearer and clearer!
This Void Mother Beast had originally been an ordinary void beast. After Dragon Qilin subdued it, the Void Mother Beast had only grown three to five times in the past few years.
But now, in just a short moment, the Void Mother Beast was growing rapidly, its aura growing stronger and stronger!
“The Grand Emperor plans to use the Void Mother Beast’s characteristics to create another adult mother beast… No! He’s creating another Divine Beast King as powerful as Dragon Xiao!”
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu’s forehead. “He intends to use the Void Mother Beast to ambush Langxuan, the Ancestral Divine King, and the others!”
The Void Mother Beast’s devouring speed increased, and its body grew stronger. Gradually, even the seventeenth void couldn’t withstand its massive form!
The Void Mother Beast’s body extended into the eighteenth void, while its head remained in the seventeenth void, allowing more void beasts to keep walking into its mouth to strengthen itself.
Soon, tens of thousands of void beasts fell into its mouth, turning into energy. The mother beast seemed to find the void beasts’ voluntary feeding too slow, so it opened its mouth wide and took a *crack* bite!
Thousands of void beasts, along with a chunk of the seventeenth void itself, were bitten off!
The other void beasts trembled in fear but dared not move, lying prostrate and letting out whimpering sounds.
The mother beast opened its mouth wide and devoured repeatedly, quickly consuming most of the void beasts in the seventeenth void.
The mother beast’s body grew even larger. Its form had now reached the twenty-third void. This giant beast was so powerful that it gave Qin Mu, far away in the twenty-ninth void, an immense sense of pressure.
This feeling was similar to facing Dragon Xiao. Even if this mother beast wasn’t as strong as Dragon Xiao, it wasn’t far off!
Suddenly, the mother beast stood up, shook its body, and shrank smaller and smaller. When it became a hundred-mile-long beast, it leaped up and jumped out of the void!
