Chapter 1405: Peerless Divine Ability
At this moment, Yan Tianfei was hurrying toward the Taiji Star Domain, entering the Black Sand Desert, while Qiang Tianfei and the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun followed Jue Wuchen deep into the desert.
Both Qiang Tianfei and the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun were beings at the Heavenly Lord level, so even Jue Wuchen could not detect them. They watched as Jue Wuchen walked into a magnificent mining area. The mine was ever-changing, astonishing even the two Heavenly Lords.
They entered the mining area and saw that it fully displayed the splendor of the Taiji Dao—Yin and Yang transforming and giving birth, endlessly cycling.
The Taiji Dao could transform all living things in heaven and earth, such as ancient giant beasts, flowers, grass, fish, insects, plants, trees, humans, gods, demons, and monsters, and could even create ancient gods.
It could also transform non-living things in the universe, such as rivers, mountains, vast oceans, thunderclouds, lightning, sun, moon, and stars—truly miraculous and wondrous.
Even Qiang Tianfei and Shi Qiluo, who controlled the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun, were dazzled, praising the abilities of the Taiji Ancient God and the mystery of the Taiji vein.
However, they did not yet realize that this was merely a fake mining area set up to deceive their eyes, hiding the real one.
Among the oviparous ancient gods, the Taiji Ancient God was the most changeable. When it came to creating illusions, even a Heavenly Lord would find it difficult to see through the mystery.
But after following Jue Wuchen for so long without reaching the depths of the mine, Qiang Tianfei and the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun grew somewhat impatient and suspicious.
Just as the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun was about to test the power of the mining area, Jue Wuchen’s clear and refreshing voice rang out: “Empress of the Guixu, I have come to pay my respects to you, Dao Brother. Please show yourself!”
The Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun immediately held back, watching as the changes in the mining area gradually calmed down. A path appeared beneath Jue Wuchen’s feet.
Jue Wuchen stepped forward and walked deeper into the mine.
The two Heavenly Lords continued to follow her. After walking for a long time, just as they were about to lose patience, they suddenly saw light ahead. A peerlessly magnificent natural altar appeared before them, with eight Taiji primordial stones surrounding a divine egg.
The two Heavenly Lords held back again, watching as Jue Wuchen bowed to the divine egg and sat down.
Jue Wuchen conversed with the divine egg, first exchanging pleasantries. Just as the two Heavenly Lords were about to reveal themselves, the conversation suddenly shifted to the state of the world. The divine egg boasted extravagantly, spinning tales so grand they darkened the sky and earth, forcing the two Heavenly Lords to restrain themselves once more.
At that moment, both Heavenly Lords suddenly sensed a considerable fluctuation of divine power. They were startled, and even the Taiji mining area trembled slightly from the fluctuation, like a painting fluttering in the wind.
“Something’s wrong! The real Taiji mining area was born at the dawn of the universe. Not even a collision of divine abilities at this level could shake it, let alone a strike from a Heavenly Lord!”
The two Heavenly Lords grew alert. Then a second fluctuation came, even stronger, as if a Heavenly Lord-level being was striking with full force!
The Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun let out a long roar, unleashing all his power without reservation. Instantly, the mining area shattered into pieces. Mountains collapsed, the sun and moon disintegrated, and countless giant beasts, deities, and other phenomena turned into wisps of Yin-Yang Qi and dissipated!
“So you were fooling me all along!”
The Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun rose to his full height, only to see a surging tide of black sand rolling in. In the blink of an eye, the countless grains of black sand grew enormous in his eyes, transforming into planets, while the Black Sand Desert became a magnificent galaxy of billions of stars!
He found himself in a vast star domain, with planets flying everywhere, completely blocking his view!
Meanwhile, Qiang Tianfei discovered that she had fallen into a chaotic galaxy, like a pot of boiling porridge. Looking around, she could no longer see the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun or Jue Wuchen.
“What a formidable Taiji Ancient God, with such far-reaching abilities!”
Qiang Tianfei couldn’t help but admire: “Before even being born, you can toy with a Heavenly Lord in the palm of your hand. If you were to be born, how terrifying would that be? But such tricks cannot trap a Heavenly Lord. You’d better die in your eggshell, so you don’t cause trouble in the world like Tai Chu did!”
She strode forward, her powerful divine sense sweeping in all directions, pushing planets aside. When too many stars blocked her way, she simply stepped into the void. No matter how strong the Taiji Ancient God was, it could not reach the void.
Tai Chu ranked before Taiji, and the Tai Chu Dao was divided into divine sense and the Primordial One Qi. Divine sense excelled at entering the void. As the reincarnation of Tai Di, Qiang Tianfei was skilled in divine sense, so the dangers of the Taiji Star Domain were useless against her.
Only when the Taiji Ancient God was born, entered the Dao, and reached the thirty-fifth heaven of the Dao realm would it threaten Tai Di—but even then, it could not threaten Tai Di’s Dao fruit.
Only by achieving the Dao and imprinting on the ultimate void could the Taiji Ancient God pose a fatal threat to Tai Di.
As the Taiji Ancient God itself said, they were still far from the Dao and needed to be born and experience the mortal world to achieve it. Otherwise, even as oviparous ancient gods, there were many beings in this world that could threaten their lives.
Qiang Tianfei swiftly traversed the star domain, searching for the real mining area. On the other side, the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun was swallowed by the Guixu Abyss. A massive rift in the star domain moved rapidly, devouring even planets in its path.
As the eleventh Heavenly Lord, Lady Yuanmu’s Guixu divine ability was truly formidable. She moved back and forth, and even the Taiji Star Domain could not stop her.
Suddenly, both Heavenly Lords made a discovery. A mountain range spanning the star domain and suppressing countless planets appeared before their eyes!
This mountain range was astonishing, and the shock it gave was beyond imagination!
The fluctuation of a Heavenly Lord’s divine power came from there, and this time, it was even clearer. The two Heavenly Lords immediately recognized it as Yan Tianfei’s divine ability!
“Could Yan Tianfei be trying to kill the Taiji Ancient God?”
Both were startled and rushed toward the mountain range. When they reached the top of the immeasurably high mountain and looked around, the vast star domain suddenly turned back into a desert. Countless stars vanished, leaving only rolling sand.
Strangely, one side was a black sand desert, and the other was a white sand desert.
The terrain of this mountain range was complex, and its layout was constantly changing. Even the two Heavenly Lords found it difficult to locate Yan Tianfei.
Just then, a smaller fluctuation of divine power came. The two Heavenly Lords quickly looked and saw white sand flying everywhere. Two figures raced through the white sand desert, fighting as they moved!
Behind the two figures, celestial palaces stood, radiating divine light that even the fierce wind and sand could not block.
“Empress!”
“That little bitch, my sister!”
The two Heavenly Lords immediately recognized one of the figures as Empress. The one fighting her was somewhat surprising—it was Qin Mu, Mu Tianzun!
At this moment, Qin Mu was racing through the white sand desert, with Guixu Abysses appearing all around him, like devouring mouths swallowing everything.
That was the Empress’s divine ability!
Beneath his feet was the domain of the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury, spreading out and moving with him.
A hundred zhang away, Empress was also moving swiftly, unleashing various divine abilities from her fingers.
Suddenly, Qin Mu’s nineteen celestial palaces and eighteen primordial spirits rose, circling the main celestial palace’s primordial spirit in various postures, their battle intent soaring. It was as if eighteen great emperors surrounded the Heavenly Emperor, while ancient gods from all heavens emerged, slaughtering and fighting, their muscular bodies ferocious, presenting a scene of a War God Diagram!
The Dragon Han Era’s Mutual Strife!
From this divine ability, Lady Yuanmu and Tai Di saw the bloody and magnificent scenes of the three great heavenly courts’ conflict during the Dragon Han Era. They saw shadows of Yun Lingyue’s ambush of Tai Di, the ambush of the Heavenly Emperor Tai Chu by later-born sacred beings and demigods, images of the emperors of the Dragon Han Era, and the armies of the three great heavenly courts clashing in bloody battles!
This divine ability was Qin Mu’s seventeenth heaven of the Dao realm, vividly displaying the bloody strife of the Dragon Han Era!
Boom—
Qin Mu and Empress collided violently, unleashing the full power of this divine ability. But they separated at the touch, with Qin Mu stumbling backward, almost lying flat on the desert floor as he retreated, dispersing the Empress’s force.
The next moment, an abyss suddenly appeared behind him, and Empress stepped out of it. Her long sleeves fluttered, turning into abyssal mouths aimed at his head!
Before Qin Mu could stop his retreat, his eighteen primordial spirits returned to their positions, each sitting on the Execution Platform in their respective celestial palaces. Blood and killing aura coiled around the platforms but could not harm his primordial spirits in the slightest.
Without realizing it, he had crossed the Jade Pool and ascended to the realm of the Execution Platform!
All the celestial palaces suddenly retracted, flying into his brow.
Qin Mu’s physical body became incredibly bright. In the hundred apertures of his body, the power of the imprints of ancient gods was activated, pushing his physical strength to the limit!
At this moment, in his brow’s heavenly court, the positions of the celestial palaces shifted, with the Creation Celestial Palace as the main body and leader, while the others assisted.
In an instant, his power became unified!
His body swelled, muscles bulging, and his strength rose to an unparalleled height!
Chiming Divine Body Absolute!
His body, nearly pressed against the desert, immediately sprang up. The domain of the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury made it meaningless for Empress to appear behind him. Qin Mu punched into her sleeve, striking straight at the core. No matter how the Guixu Abyss tried to grind him down, it could not extinguish the power of his fist!
Chiming Divine Body Absolute, as his eighteenth heaven of the Dao realm, unified not only his Creation Dao but also his martial arts and combat techniques. Ancient gods were known for their powerful bodies and natural mastery of the Dao, but martial arts were originally a supreme art excelling in close combat!
He was like a martial emperor, fighting dragons and phoenixes up close, his domineering body surging with power, while also possessing the indestructible body and indestructible primordial spirit of the Chidi and Mingdi!
From Empress’s sleeve, her hand shot out like a spirit snake, colliding with his fist. The immense power of the ancient god’s body was fully displayed!
Her true body had died early, in the early to mid-Dragon Han Era, killed by Lady Yuanmu’s scheme and suppressed on the ghost ship. But after obtaining a body from Qin Mu, she had used years of cultivation to enhance its power, which was no small feat!
However, in a direct clash with Qin Mu, she gained no advantage. Qin Mu’s body and primordial spirit were highly unified, his divine sense and primordial Qi fused into one, his body compact, and the imprints of various ancient gods transformed into physical strength.
At the moment of collision, the imprints of ancient gods in his apertures blazed with light, turning into two thousand ancient gods that whirled around him before sinking back into his apertures.
Every time his power circulated, the Dao sounds within his body rumbled and shook, so loud that even the howling wind and sand of the white sand desert could not drown them out.
Empress’s gaze was cold. Her posture was like a dance, her long sleeves flying like spirit snakes, her sleeves like abysses. Sometimes her delicate hand emerged from the sleeve, each strike graceful yet deadly.
The two clashed again and retreated from each other.
Whoosh—
Nineteen celestial palaces flew out from behind Qin Mu’s head, forming a great heavenly court. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
Empress’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly leaped into the air to dodge his attack.
As Qin Mu bowed, the countless white sands in front of him instantly annihilated, turning into streams of chaotic Qi.
But just as Empress dodged, she realized that no matter where she went, Qin Mu’s Spirit Embryo Divine Treasury domain kept her facing him directly.
With a rumbling roar, with Qin Mu as the center, all the white sand around him returned to chaos in violent tremors, surging and flowing as chaotic Qi!
Standing on the Taiji vein, Qiang Tianfei and the Divine Artifact Imperial Lord Yu Tianzun saw this move and were both visibly moved: “Excellent divine ability!”
“A divine ability that cannot be dodged. It is far superior to Langxuan Divine Emperor’s one-trick Divine Yuan Finger!”
This divine ability was the twenty-sixth heaven of the Dao realm.
One Qi Hunyuan Dao Tong You—Qin Mu’s most powerful divine ability!
