Chapter 1314: The First Ruler of the Primeval Era (Second Update)
Boom—
Qin Mu’s great divine ability, the Dragon Han Dual Strife, struck heavily against the Imperial Emperor’s head. The Imperial Emperor’s head crashed into the void, vanishing from the sky of the Ancestral Court.
The Other Shore Divine Boat beneath Qin Mu’s feet dissipated, and his body stood firm in midair. His three heads gazed in all directions, the vertical eye on his brow opening wide, all three eyes watching the movements of the void.
“Imperial Emperor, you’re not afraid, are you?”
His voice, like a clinging bone-rotting curse, followed the Imperial Emperor’s head as it tore through layers of void, reaching the Imperial Emperor’s ears with crystal clarity. He laughed heartily: “As the strongest emperor of the primeval era, you were dealt with by Heavenly Lord Yun, by Heavenly Lord Ling, by Heavenly Lord Hao, and by the four Heavenly Lords Lang, Xiao, Yan, and Zu. Your entire life has been one of failure. Run.”
The Imperial Emperor’s head swept through layer after layer of void, his expression dark and grim. He could clearly hear Qin Mu’s voice and clearly see Qin Mu’s figure.
His head was changing, flesh and blood sprouting.
His cultivation art was the most powerful in the world—the Supreme Limitless Divine Consciousness!
Even without the Primal Chaos Origin Stone, he could forcibly repair his physical body. However, using divine consciousness to repair the body was far inferior to the Primal Chaos Origin Stone. His injuries were now extremely severe, and the damage to his divine consciousness was even worse. Using divine consciousness to mend his flesh would leave him with significant hidden dangers.
“Keep running.”
Qin Mu’s voice continued to reach him: “That shouldn’t be hard for you. After all, you’ve spent this million years fleeing through life. You didn’t even dare to take the form of a man, only daring to disguise yourself as a woman, hiding in the Heavenly Emperor’s harem, forcing a smile. The great Imperial Emperor, the first Heavenly Emperor to rule the cosmos and the primordial chaos, actually turned into a woman, relying on the Heavenly Emperor’s harem to curry favor with his consorts, selling smiles just to survive…”
The Imperial Emperor’s face grew even darker. Suddenly, strands of his curly hair shot out, *shua shua shua*, piercing through the void and anchoring his head in place.
He halted in the twenty-seventh layer of void, his hair spreading out in all directions like a sea urchin, pinning him there. His Supreme Limitless Divine Consciousness operated at full speed, using what little remained to visualize his physical body!
Without a body, relying solely on his head, he felt he couldn’t contend with a Heavenly Lord like Qin Mu, who had established his own Dao through divine abilities. Back in the early Dragon Han era, Qin Mu had been granted the title of Heavenly Lord precisely because he had established his Dao through divine abilities!
Back then, Qin Mu’s divine abilities had still seemed immature, but now, Qin Mu had truly lived up to his name. His divine abilities had achieved the establishment of Dao, making him a true Mu Heavenly Lord!
Such an existence deserved respect, and also deserved a battle from the Imperial Emperor!
Below his neck, flesh and blood rapidly grew, soon forming a chest and limbs.
The Imperial Emperor visualized continuously, exhausting his last divine consciousness to forge a new body.
“You became Consort Qiang, and while you achieved something, it was all through your face, your figure, and selling smiles, wasn’t it?”
Qin Mu’s voice was extremely venomous, drilling into his mind: “You’ve hidden your whole life. When will you dare to fight openly like a man? Or have you been a woman for so long that you’ve forgotten you’re a man?”
The Imperial Emperor’s face turned icy cold. His head gradually shrank, striving to make his body size match that of a normal Creator.
Qin Mu fell silent.
The Imperial Emperor’s eyelids twitched. At that moment, he felt Qin Mu’s gaze. Qin Mu’s eyes pierced through twenty-seven layers of void, landing on him, pinpointing his exact location.
The Imperial Emperor closed his eyes, activating his Supreme Limitless Divine Consciousness. Instantly, multicolored lights flashed within the twenty-seventh layer of void, and one deity after another emerged, imprinting themselves into the various acupoints of his body.
This technique was very similar to Qin Mu’s Crimson Bright Divine Body Art, but compared to Qin Mu, the Imperial Emperor was the true originator!
Qin Mu had learned from the Imperial Emperor’s Supreme Limitless Divine Consciousness, combining it with the Dao of Creation to forge the Crimson Bright Divine Body Art!
However, no matter how strong Qin Mu’s creation techniques were, he could never return to the primeval era to see those ancient deities who had already died!
Though Qin Mu’s body stored a vast number of ancient deity projections in his acupoints, only three hundred and sixty-five of them had complete Dao runes. The other ancient deities he had never even seen.
Because those deities had died before the Dragon Han era—they had gone extinct!
During the primeval war, while many Creators had died, the number of fallen ancient deities accounted for more than half of all ancient deities. At that time, there had been over nineteen hundred ancient deities!
“I was honored as the Imperial Emperor not merely through the worship of Creators. I was honored as the one with the strongest body not merely through their worship. It was through my wisdom, my foundation!”
He suddenly let out a great roar, and one by one, his long hairs retracted from the void.
He stood firm in the twenty-seventh layer of void, his curly hair pulled straight, falling over his shoulders. His sinewy body was fierce, brimming with immense power.
He bared his chest—this was the most perfect Creator physique, with muscle lines possessing the perfection of mathematical principles, carrying a stunning beauty. It was his pride.
He had been the most handsome man among the prehistoric Creators, the wisest and most powerful. Boyang’s weathered look, Gongjun’s beauty, Shujun’s boldness—they were nothing before him!
It was through his masculinity, his strength, his wisdom and charm that he had conquered the Creators of the prehistoric era, made the Three Kings submit, and earned the worship of the ancient deities, becoming the Imperial Emperor!
Since the end of the primeval era, after being defeated by the Heavenly Emperor Taichu, he had rarely used his wisdom and strength to fight with all his might. He had grown accustomed to splitting his power, becoming Da Hong, Ming Fangyu, or Consort Qiang, using schemes and plots to calculate and seize power.
But now, he would restore the masculine spirit and beauty of the Creators, crush Qin Mu, crush this brat!
He waited quietly for Qin Mu’s arrival.
Whoosh—
The Other Shore Divine Boat traversed the void, appearing before him. Qin Mu stood at the bow, his robes fluttering. When the divine boat stopped, his robes settled.
“Mu Heavenly Lord.” The Imperial Emperor spoke, his voice deep and low.
Qin Mu slightly bowed: “Imperial Emperor.”
“Please!”
“Please!”
The Imperial Emperor roared, and the power of over nineteen hundred ancient deities within his sinewy body was mobilized simultaneously, causing his form to blur with fleeting light and shadow, crushing the twenty-seven layers of void into constant collapse!
The next moment, he arrived before Qin Mu. The overlord of the primeval era, the unique emperor—his dominance was all contained in a single punch!
He threw a punch!
Boom!
Their fists collided. Two massive figures separated left and right, tumbling backward, crushing void after void, causing thunder and lightning to crackle and flash, *zi zi la la*, *ka cha ka cha*, striking endlessly!
Blood light mixed with the lightning—it was the plasma bursting from their shattered skin and flesh!
“Return to Ruins, One Qi is Born!”
Qin Mu roared in fury, halting his momentum, then charged forward like a streak of light. A great abyss of Return to Ruins appeared beneath his feet, while above his head, the Primordial One Qi connected to the abyss. From the abyss, a twin lotus bloomed, and the Primordial One Qi above his head transformed into an inverted lotus. His form spun rapidly, his three heads and six arms unleashing countless punches in an instant!
The Imperial Emperor bellowed, charging straight at him: “A mere minor god of Return to Ruins—back then, you were nothing before me!”
