Chapter 1335: Exiling Dawn Heavenly Venerable (Fourth Update)
The first string flew out from behind his neck, followed by the second, third, and fourth!
Ten strings in succession sliced across Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s throat, forehead, lower neck, eyes, chest, waist, life gate, hip bone, knee joint, and ankle joint!
Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s skull flew up, and the other parts of his body were violently scattered by the raging blood and qi, only to forcibly reassemble and fuse back together.
Within the Gate of Bearing Heaven, Earth Lord’s massive palm slammed down heavily, smashing his physical body into a pulp, turning it into a pool of paste!
Moon Heavenly Venerable breathed a sigh of relief. Earth Lord in the Netherworld also exhaled. Nether Heavenly Venerable emerged from the Netherworld and arrived beneath the tree, and upon seeing this, he too let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s flesh writhed and regenerated. He reached out, grabbed the Primeval Tree, and swung it. At that moment, an utterly terrifying might erupted from the Primeval Tree, shaking the heavens and causing all realms to rumble!
The entire Primordial Realm contained over ten thousand heavenly worlds. Even the dullest beings in these worlds could sense that this night (day) was extraordinary.
The heavens they inhabited were shifting at tremendous speed, stars were in chaos, the earth trembled, volcanoes erupted, hurricanes howled, the great seas churned with raging tides, and tsunamis struck one after another!
Yet they did not know that this was the astonishing destruction caused by a Heavenly Venerable wielding the Primeval Tree with immense divine power, moving the heavens themselves!
Whoosh—
A single strike from the Primeval Tree sent Nether Heavenly Venerable flying. Midair, he coughed up blood endlessly!
Having landed a blow, Dawn Heavenly Venerable used the Primeval Tree as a sword and thrust it toward Moon Heavenly Venerable.
Moon Heavenly Venerable retreated rapidly, her form leaping through one space after another. In an instant, she crossed layer upon layer of heavens to evade the Primeval Tree’s attack. But what shocked her was that the space of all heavens and realms was in utter chaos. No matter how many worlds she passed through, the canopy of the Primeval Tree was always right before her.
Shua shua shua—
Countless branches of the Primeval Tree, like swords, surged wildly and stabbed toward her. Moon Heavenly Venerable activated her spatial divine abilities, like a rapid melody of zither strings, clashing with the onrushing canopy of the Primeval Tree!
However, the sword techniques Dawn Heavenly Venerable employed in this strike came from Yan Kang, refined by Yan Kang’s National Teacher and Qin Mu. From Sword Fourteen to Sword Nineteen, they were all present!
Even Moon Heavenly Venerable, who was well-versed in the way of space, found it difficult to withstand such sharp and ever-changing sword techniques.
Boom!
Her form crashed through one heavenly world after another, flying over them from above. Behind her were millions of cyan-green sword beams, writhing in the sky like countless dancing flood dragons, their length spanning entire heavens—an utterly astonishing sight!
Moon Heavenly Venerable tilted her head. With a sharp sound, a branch of the Primeval Tree grazed her cheek, leaving a wound.
Just as she seemed about to be overwhelmed, Earth Lord’s attack arrived behind Dawn Heavenly Venerable. That massive hand turned into a fist, aiming to shatter Dawn Heavenly Venerable once more!
Dawn Heavenly Venerable withdrew the Primeval Tree. Its roots coalesced into an enormous black hammer, which met Earth Lord’s fist with a single blow.
The force of their clash erupted. Far away in the Netherworld, Earth Lord frowned. His colossal fist crumbled, splitting into continents of floating land.
“Old brother, without descending in your true form, you are no match for me and Earth Mother! Fighting across realms is dull—why not have a true duel?”
Dawn Heavenly Venerable roared. The roots of the Primeval Tree, now a hammer, pierced through the Gate of Bearing Heaven and slammed fiercely toward Earth Lord.
Earth Lord’s third eye on his forehead opened wide, roused to true anger. The countless continents formed from his shattered right hand flew back, reassembling into a palm. He reached out, and the long-lost River of Styx reappeared.
Earth Lord shook the Styx Whip, ready to fight to the death, when suddenly the other divine artifact floating in the Netherworld—Imperial Heavenly Venerable—opened its eyes and fixed its gaze upon him.
Earth Lord’s heart jolted: “My daughter has noticed this place!”
He was on guard against Void Heavenly Venerable’s divine artifact, Imperial Heavenly Venerable, as the Primeval Tree hammer came crashing down.
Just as Dawn Heavenly Venerable seemed about to succeed, Moon Heavenly Venerable suddenly appeared above him, upside down like a falling celestial maiden, her robes fluttering. Her ten fingers moved, and with a series of twangs, beams of light crisscrossed into a net, completely sealing the area.
More light strings intersected, forming countless spatial cross-sections like a labyrinth.
“Dawn Heavenly Venerable, today I exile you!”
Moon Heavenly Venerable’s hand landed on the first string. The first note of the zither sounded, and suddenly all the light strings vibrated together, unleashing the five tones and twelve pitches!
Countless spatial cross-sections fell into chaos. A violent spatial storm roared, sweeping up Dawn Heavenly Venerable and the Primeval Tree together, sending them deep into space!
Shua shua shua—thick roots shot out from the chaotic space, anchoring themselves into the earth of the Primordial Realm. Within the chaotic space, the twelve pitches of the zither were in disarray, but they could not completely drive the Primeval Tree into the chaos.
Dawn Heavenly Venerable stood on the Primeval Tree, sprinting along the roots. Just as he was about to leap out of the chaotic space, Nether Heavenly Venerable appeared at the entrance of that chaotic space, holding a horse lantern. The lantern’s light shone directly on Dawn Heavenly Venerable.
An utterly terrifying force struck Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s primordial spirit, knocking it out of his physical body!
Dawn Heavenly Venerable roared, forcibly pulling his primordial spirit back.
Nether Heavenly Venerable gritted his teeth, desperately driving the horse lantern. The light grew brighter and brighter, yet Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s primordial spirit stubbornly withstood the lantern’s impact, step by step approaching his physical body.
On the roots, Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s physical body also advanced step by step along the thick roots, moving forward.
Moon Heavenly Venerable descended before the entrance of the chaotic space, her skirt spreading out around her as she sat cross-legged. The ruins of the palace flew over and shrank into an ancient zither.
Moon Heavenly Venerable played before the entrance, and countless attacks rained down like a storm on Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s physical body and primordial spirit.
Dawn Heavenly Venerable let out a sharp cry, suddenly manifesting three heads and six arms. His primordial spirit also took on three heads and six arms. His physical body and primordial spirit shattered and reformed repeatedly, regrowing wherever they were damaged, astonishing both Moon and Nether Heavenly Venerables!
“Even if Crimson Emperor and Bright Emperor merged, they might not be able to achieve this!” Both thought simultaneously.
Dawn Heavenly Venerable withstood the attacks of the two Heavenly Venerables, step by step making his way out.
“Where is Earth Lord?” Moon Heavenly Venerable called out loudly.
Nether Heavenly Venerable gritted his teeth: “Held back by Void Heavenly Venerable!”
Moon Heavenly Venerable’s heart sank. Earth Lord could not descend in his true form and could not help. With just the two of them, they might not be able to exile Dawn Heavenly Venerable, and might even be severely wounded if he broke out of the chaotic space!
“Mu’er, don’t go!”
Medicine Master’s voice rang out. Moon and Nether Heavenly Venerables were startled, and suddenly saw the headless Qin Mu flying over, the peachwood hairpin in his hand pointing at Dawn Heavenly Venerable, who was about to charge out of the chaotic space.
Dawn Heavenly Venerable’s heart jolted. His body rapidly retreated, and the roots of the Primeval Tree swiftly withdrew from the earth of the Primordial Realm.
He, along with his primordial spirit and the Primeval Tree, was sent into the chaotic space, vanishing without a trace.
Moon Heavenly Venerable breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, set the ancient zither aside, and swept her sleeve forward. The entrance to the chaotic space vanished instantly, and space returned to normal.
Qin Mu still pointed at where the chaotic space entrance had been, looking imposing, though his neck was missing its head.
Medicine Master hurried over, examining Qin Mu’s neck, and complained, “Your neck is now covered in dao injuries left by Dawn Heavenly Venerable, and you’re still running around!”
“I’m fine!”
Qin Mu’s voice came from his chest, stiff-necked: “Yue’er, where is my piece of eggshell? Give me the eggshell, and I’ll send Dawn Heavenly Venerable back into the egg!”
“Dawn Heavenly Venerable has already been exiled by Moon Heavenly Venerable.”
Medicine Master said helplessly, “And, don’t talk to the air. I’m here, and Moon Heavenly Venerable is behind you. This injury of yours… it’s going to be hard to treat…”
