Chapter 1333: Before Birth (Second Update)
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign was a being of great wisdom. On Imperial Heavenly Sovereign, he saw a future tens of thousands of years later. He saw the inevitable rise of the later-born races and demigods, and he also saw the decline of the ancient gods.
He could not stop this trend, but to maintain his own rule, to maintain the rule of the ancient gods, he had to kill Imperial Heavenly Sovereign.
As long as there was no Imperial Heavenly Sovereign, he could still become the ruler of all under heaven!
Qin Mu thought for a moment, surveying the methods of all the Heavenly Sovereigns, including beings like Heavenly Duke, Earth Lord, and Mother Earth Primordial, none of them matched Imperial Heavenly Sovereign.
Even the path of alliances and stratagems that Qin Mu himself was now walking was far inferior to Imperial Heavenly Sovereign.
The path of alliances and stratagems involved more schemes and tricks, more calculations of the human heart, and lacked the grand vision of Imperial Heavenly Sovereign.
The path Imperial Heavenly Sovereign walked was the kingly way, the imperial way. It was a pity that the ancient god Heavenly Emperor recognized his power immediately and killed him.
He lost because he was too outstanding, while his strength had not kept pace.
Heavenly Emperor Primordial had immense tolerance. He could tolerate countless people, even Heavenly Duke, Earth Lord, Empress, and Yuanmu, he could tolerate them all. He could even tolerate Qin Mu, this fellow who repeatedly tripped him up.
But anyone who threatened his power, he could not tolerate.
Anyone who threatened his power, no matter who it was, he would eradicate, even his own son!
"The Dao wound left by Langxuan Divine Emperor has also healed!" Pharmacist suddenly said joyfully.
Moon Heavenly Sovereign's spirits soared. She channeled her cultivation technique with all her might, and immediately felt the technique flow smoothly without obstruction. She now had the confidence to fight!
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign looked at her and shook his head, saying, "You can no longer escape. Even standing within the domain of Pasture Heavenly Sovereign, you cannot escape my control."
Moon Heavenly Sovereign took a long breath. Her robes began to flutter, and one by one, her sashes slowly moved through the air, accompanied by strands of dazzling divine light.
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign raised an eyebrow. The divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign behind him grasped the Primordial Wood and gently turned it. Instantly, the myriad heavens of the Primordial Realm shifted along with the movement of the Primordial Wood's branches and canopy!
Such immense power, even Mother Earth Primordial had never achieved in her time, yet Dawn Heavenly Sovereign could do it!
The displacement of the myriad heavens of the Primordial Realm caused a change in space. Dawn Heavenly Sovereign's goal was to disrupt space, making it impossible for Moon Heavenly Sovereign to escape!
Qin Mu spread his five fingers, his palm flat. Moon Heavenly Sovereign danced within his palm, her posture graceful, her movements elegant. Strands of space-strings emerged, plucked by the shifting myriad heavens, producing chaotic sounds like a zither.
Moon Heavenly Sovereign's figure danced across the strands of space-strings, but no matter how she leaped, she could never jump out of the myriad heavens, could never leave the Primordial Realm, and could not even leave the Peach Grove!
She felt the space she could move in growing smaller and smaller, shrinking to the distance of Qin Mu's palm!
Zheng, zheng, zheng!
The space-strings vibrated violently. Suddenly, countless attacks surged from all directions toward Dawn Heavenly Sovereign and the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign. Dawn Heavenly Sovereign's body stood firm and unmoving. The divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign let out a low shout, his body suddenly shifting to reveal three heads and six arms. His fists blasted out in all directions, shattering Moon Heavenly Sovereign's attacks into nothingness!
He took a step forward and threw a punch, majestic and grand, breaking through Qin Mu's divine treasury domain, aiming directly at Moon Heavenly Sovereign within Qin Mu's primordial spirit's palm!
This punch was not aimed at Qin Mu, but at Moon Heavenly Sovereign. However, the surging, overwhelming force acted upon the divine treasury domain, shaking it until it crumbled and shattered!
Within the domain, stars were destroyed, the Xuan Du collapsed, the You Du ceased to exist, and even the ancestral court sank into earth, water, wind, and fire, on the verge of annihilation!
The power of the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign was too great. Using the Primordial Wood to trap Moon Heavenly Sovereign, and with his unmatched physical body, he charged into Qin Mu's divine treasury domain. This kind of ferocious attack power was enough to make anyone despair!
At that moment, Qin Mu's body shifted. A gate rose behind him, connecting heaven and earth. Beyond the gate was the You Du!
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign raised an eyebrow, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
That Gate of Ascension opened. In the darkness beyond the gate, paper boats carrying lanterns gathered. The number of paper boats increased, and suddenly, all the boats merged into a single small skiff, sailing out from the You Du and passing through the Gate of Ascension!
On the small boat, a gaunt old man looked up. His bony, large hand reached out to meet the palm of the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign!
Boom—
A terrifying tremor erupted. Behind the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign, a series of heavenly palaces emerged, magnificent and spectacular, forming a continuous heavenly court. This caused the power of the divine artifact to surge, pressing the gaunt old man back toward the Gate of Ascension.
"You, You Heavenly Sovereign, though you are also honored as a Heavenly Sovereign, you are no longer at the center of power in the heavenly court. You have had too little exposure to various divine techniques and Dao methods!"
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign still stood there, motionless, smiling faintly. "You are outdated."
That old man was indeed You Heavenly Sovereign. Just as he was about to fall back into the You Du, an immensely huge hand reached out from behind him, supporting him.
Behind that hand were a pair of enormous eyes burning like the demonic fire of the You Du. Then a third eye appeared, looking across the You Du toward the Primordial Realm.
After that hand supported You Heavenly Sovereign, it transformed into a fist, punching through the Gate of Ascension, fiercely clashing with the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign.
At the same time, Moon Heavenly Sovereign flew up from Qin Mu's palm. Strands of light-strings spread out in all directions, entangling the canopy of the Primordial Wood. Her divine abilities erupted completely!
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign raised his eyebrows with a smile, rose to his feet, and landed on the shoulder of the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign, who was staggering backward.
He let out a low shout. A heavenly palace leaped out from behind his head, filling the heavenly court of the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign.
The heavenly court behind the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign originally consisted of thirty-five heavenly palaces. With this one palace added, it formed a perfect great heavenly court of thirty-six heavenly palaces!
He had not yet cultivated the heavenly court realm, lacking one heavenly palace. Therefore, he could only borrow the body of the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign and use his own innate heavenly palace to make up for the final deficiency, barely achieving the heavenly court realm.
Doing this would allow his strength to reach a level comparable to his peak for an instant, but the hidden danger was also great—his physical body could not withstand it!
But now, it was not his physical body that was manifesting the great heavenly court, but the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign!
This one heavenly palace completed the heavenly court. In an instant, divine light burst forth, ten thousand Daos sang in unison, and the radiance was dazzling to the extreme!
Pharmacist felt a sharp pain in his eyes. Both eyes went blind instantly. Panic seized him. Suddenly, he felt himself being swept up and involuntarily flying away.
"My eyes..." Pharmacist was flustered. Sensing Qin Mu's aura, he knew that Qin Mu had rescued him at the first moment.
But his eyes were already blind. He could not see anything outside, only feeling himself constantly jostled.
He had also cultivated the Creation Mystic Art, but Pharmacist's Creation Art was not advanced. He usually used it to accelerate the ripening of medicinal herbs, at most using the mystic art to repair his face.
He had never tried to repair his own eyes.
He activated his mystic art, gradually feeling his vision return a little. Dimly, he saw the huge hand that Earth Lord had extended from the You Du, its bones broken. One by one, the thick fingers detached from the palm and flew into the air.
He also saw the Primordial Wood's branches flying and leaves scattering under Moon Heavenly Sovereign's attack.
Pharmacist struggled to move his eyeballs and saw You Heavenly Sovereign standing on the shoulder of the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign, fighting Dawn Heavenly Sovereign, steadily retreating.
His heart turned cold. Dawn Heavenly Sovereign's great heavenly court system was already complete, and it was this powerful.
At that moment, his vision could focus. He saw Qin Mu standing in front of him, shielding him. Qin Mu had gouged out the vertical eye on his own forehead.
"Mu'er, what are you doing?" Pharmacist tried to speak, but could not hear his own voice.
He only saw Qin Mu activate this vertical eye, offering it up in midair. The eye suddenly grew large, the eyeball turning to reveal half of a huge eggshell.
Qin Mu held Ling Heavenly Sovereign's hairpin, activating the Immutable divine ability. The hairpin pointed at the back of the eggshell!
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign had already suppressed You Heavenly Sovereign, and the divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign was about to charge into the You Du. At that moment, the eggshell behind Qin Mu's eye burst into brilliant light!
The Primordial Eggshell floated up. Countless Primordial runes shot out from Qin Mu's vertical eye, imprinting with a *weng* sound across the ten-thousand-mile Peach Grove. Countless runes spun, then with a *shua*, they vanished back into the pupil of Qin Mu's vertical eye.
The divine artifact Imperial Heavenly Sovereign crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar. The divine sense and dharma power within Imperial Heavenly Sovereign's body howled away, pulled into this eyeball!
Dawn Heavenly Sovereign also flew up involuntarily, unable to resist being drawn toward this vertical eye!
"Primordial, if you piss me off, I'll beat you back to the state you were in before you were born!" Qin Mu roared.
