# Chapter 1565: The Fall of a Divine King
This sword light was the Calamity-Answering Sword, the nineteenth sword style, a basic sword technique. The sword light began from Palace Heavenly Sovereign's primordial spirit, falling straight down, stabbing into the most magnificent and majestic hall of her Heavenly Court—the Lingxiao Palace.
The Lingxiao Palace collapsed.
This great hall was the source of Palace Heavenly Sovereign's supreme power. When this power crumbled, terrifying energy surged and flowed in all directions, destroying one palace after another in Jade Capital City!
Palace Heavenly Sovereign sensed something was wrong and decisively activated her divine consciousness.
However, another sword light from Qin Mu erupted within her brain, shattering her divine consciousness into fragments, making it difficult for her to concentrate her thoughts.
This sword light was the One Qi Primordial Dao Traveling Together, erupting as Qin Mu bowed deeply in obeisance, shaking her brain and divine consciousness into chaotic energy.
Her divine consciousness was powerful and was not completely destroyed by Qin Mu's bow, but it was scattered and unable to coalesce.
The collapse of the Lingxiao Palace caused energy fluctuations to sweep in all directions. Her Jade Capital City crumbled at an increasingly rapid pace. Amid the raging energy tide that engulfed everything, sword light surged along with it, reducing everything in its path to dust!
Soon, the collapse destroyed the entire Jade Capital City, rushing outward to impact one heavenly palace after another.
If Palace Heavenly Sovereign's divine consciousness had still been at its peak, with her strength she could have completely abandoned her main heavenly palace, abandoned Jade Capital City, and even abandoned her own primordial spirit—cutting off her arm to survive.
But now her brain had been shaken into a mass of chaotic energy by Qin Mu's other sword light, her consciousness in disarray, making it impossible to take such a step.
She could only let her heavenly court collapse.
If one stood within her heavenly court, they would witness a spectacular and breathtaking scene.
Those towering divine cities composed of lofty buildings shattered and disintegrated amidst the terrifying energy fluctuations and sword light, thereby unleashing even more powerful and terrifying energy tides and sword light tides, destroying even more divine cities at an even faster speed with even more terrifying fluctuations!
One heavenly palace after another tilted, collapsed, and fell, transforming into even more violent energy during their descent!
Her primordial spirit dissolved and melted within this energy.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign's Dao techniques and divine abilities had their unique aspects. Her heavenly court was formed by stacking one heavenly palace upon another, looking from afar like a curved horn, different from others' heavenly court layouts.
The heavenly court collapsed from its highest point, crushing the heavenly palaces below, gradually forming an unstoppable momentum.
Within these heavenly palaces stood towering and majestic divine statues—primordial deities she had visualized using the unique visualization method of the Creators.
This was her unique feature. During the collapse of her heavenly court, one divine statue after another awakened and revived. These visualized ancient gods struggled to flee outward, but even the Heavenly Duke, Earth Lord, and other ancient gods she had visualized could not escape this calamity of destruction!
Qin Mu's Calamity-Answering Sword was a sword path he had created after the outbreak of the Yankang Calamity, feeling his own powerlessness, feeling that he had no soul and had become a walking corpse, feeling that he was about to die. It was also the nineteenth basic sword technique.
He used this sword to answer the calamity—to answer his own death calamity, to bid farewell to his former self.
This sword eradicated all his former foundations, shattered his heavenly palaces, destroyed his divine treasuries, and ultimately turned all his heavenly palaces and divine treasuries into chaos.
He was reborn from chaos.
It could be said that from that moment on, the former big boy Qin Mu had died. The Qin Mu who came back to life from death possessed a brand new soul, becoming decisive, patient, and resilient.
Qin Mu could answer the calamity and gain new life, but Palace Heavenly Sovereign could not.
Her heavenly court completely collapsed. Unimaginably terrifying energy roared into her brow, scattering the divine consciousness she had barely managed to gather under the attack of One Qi Primordial Dao Traveling Together.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seven consecutive explosions sounded. Within her body, the seven divine treasuries were destroyed one by one, crushed into dust!
Finally, her heavenly court and heavenly palace divine treasuries were completely destroyed. The energy they transformed into sank down, pressing upon her Dao heart.
Silence.
Her mind was completely still. Her Dao heart had no ripples. Only her brow was split open—the sword scar left by Qin Mu.
Qin Mu sheathed his sword. The Calamity Sword slid into its wooden scabbard. He looked at her with a calm expression.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign also looked calmly at Qin Mu, her expression without any ripples, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. Expressionlessly, she said, "Pastoral Heavenly Sovereign, my divine consciousness reaches the thirty-fifth level of the Dao realm, imprinted in the thirty-fifth level of the void. This move of yours cannot kill me."
Her gaze was empty, as if unable to focus. Suddenly she took a step and walked outward: "I cannot die. I am the last Creator."
Qin Mu's gaze was complex, revealing a trace of reluctance, but soon this trace of reluctance faded.
He did not block Palace Heavenly Sovereign, allowing her to leave.
Empress Consort rushed over, looked at Palace Heavenly Sovereign, revealed a strange expression, but did not stop her either, letting her go.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign arrived at the edge of the twin lotus petals, stepped into the void, and passed through the receding tide.
She walked out of the Guixu tide, went upstream against the falling Styx River, and soon arrived at the Netherworld.
The Netherworld was composed of countless destroyed worlds and universes, a place of death, the origin of demonic paths. It was extremely ugly, dark, filled with the most depraved and twisted demonic nature in the world.
However, Palace Heavenly Sovereign's Dao heart was unprecedentedly calm. She turned a blind eye to the ugliness of the Netherworld, as if she had returned to her maiden days.
In the ancient times, she was a member of the Nvxin Clan. At that time, she was carefree and without worries.
In her eyes, the dark canopy of the Netherworld seemed to transform into a blue sky. The demonic fire spewing from the huge Earth Lord's nostrils became the bright sun in the sky.
The young female Creator cultivated with the elders of her clan. The elders embedded a piece of Primordial Beginning Divine Stone in her brow, telling her it was a gift from the Juyu Clan.
She went hunting with the elders, capturing ancient giant beasts. She learned divine consciousness techniques with her uncles and aunts, visualized together with her sisters-in-law and companions.
She grew up and became an elder of the Nvxin Clan, but she was not old at all. She was young, beautiful, and her body was full of youthful vitality.
At that time, the universe was not as large as it is now. The universe was still growing, still expanding day by day. At that time, they were sacrificing to the Western Emperor White Tiger at the Western Extreme Heaven, making White Tiger the guardian deity of the Nvxin Clan.
In the spring of that year, she met a young man from the Juyu Clan. The young man riding on the back of a giant beast stared straight at her.
And she was already the strongest existence in the Nvxin Clan. The clan leader and elders were already discussing whether to let her succeed and become the clan leader of the Nvxin Clan.
"I want to marry you," the young man said to her.
Her companions laughed at the young man's foolishness, but although the young man was called away by his own clansmen, he kept turning back to look at her.
She couldn't remember if it was love at first sight, but the young man had fallen in love with her at first sight.
Many years passed, and she became the clan leader as she had wished. When the old clan leader abdicated, he said to her earnestly: "From today onward, you inherit the name Yun."
"Yun means the western land, the west that produces gold. You must be like the previous clan leaders, sacrificing to our visualized deity, White Tiger. You must be like the previous clan leaders, abandoning all romantic attachments."
"Your race will henceforth become the most important thing in your life, the thing you protect with your life."
"When your horn sounds, it will fill the women of Nvxin with power stronger than men. Your long whip is not only for herding, not only for taming those giant beasts, but also for taming men, making men submit to you. It can also transform into a sharp spear, piercing apart all threats to the Nvxin Clan."
"You will stand on the head of the White Tiger, ruling the vast and boundless western territory. All places that can hear your horn will be the pastures of the Nvxin Clan!"
"You will raise your long whip, lashing the disobedient gods, sweeping down the stars in the sky, conquering all who refuse to submit!"
"You will use your youth and life, even your beauty and love, to conquer all the surrounding tribes, making them submit to Nvxin!"
"You will become the king of the entire universe, the king of all ancient gods! You will become..."
"Palace Yun Divine King!"
...
Palace Heavenly Sovereign walked, passing before the Earth Lord. The Earth Lord looked at her curiously, revealing a surprised expression. The Yincha old man was startled and was about to summon his immeasurable avatars to kill her, but the Earth Lord's thought waves transmitted: "Benevolent Sage King, no need."
The Yincha old man carefully looked at Palace Heavenly Sovereign, nodded silently, and said: "The Earth Lord is wise. Indeed, there is no need."
"She is already dead. She is creating an illusion to prevent her Dao heart from being crushed."
The Earth Lord watched her go into the distance, pondering: "Who killed her?"
Palace Heavenly Sovereign walked and walked, unconsciously leaving the Netherworld.
In her daze, she arrived at the Ancestral Court.
What appeared before her eyes was not the magnificent scenery of the Ancestral Court, but another scene.
It was her wedding day. The young man who had fallen in love with her at first sight and said he wanted to marry her had become the Grand Emperor, renowned throughout the universe.
That young man's growth rate was astonishing. When he was still young, he had already become the clan leader of the Juyu Clan.
His power threatened the Nvxin Clan. His Juyu Clan conquered all the tribes under heaven, annexing small tribes, making the Juyu Clan increasingly powerful.
The three kings of the ancient times—Yang, Yun, and Jun—had all fought with this young man. The young man called Yang "Elder," called Jun "Uncle," treating them as elders, but only addressed her as an equal.
Uncle Jun was the first to be defeated by him. She was also defeated by this young man. Finally, the young man went to challenge Elder Yang, the most ancient and powerful divine king.
The battle between the young man and Elder Yang in the Northern Frontier shocked the world. The most ancient divine king and his mount, Dragon Xiao, were also defeated by this young man.
The three kings were forced to join hands, only then repelling the Juyu Clan's attack. To stop the Juyu Clan's aggression, they formed an alliance and jointly honored the young man as the Grand Emperor.
This day was the day she married the Grand Emperor.
The Grand Emperor had repeatedly proposed marriage, and she had repeatedly refused, but he never gave up, continuing to propose.
The Grand Emperor had an unbelievable persistence toward her.
She remembered the words of the old clan leader who had already died in battle when she succeeded him, and finally agreed to the Grand Emperor's marriage proposal. The ancient times were too barbaric, too bloody; she had to consider the future of the Nvxin Clan.
Since the Nvxin Clan could not conquer the world, could not conquer the universe and the primordial chaos, then conquer the man who had conquered the universe and the primordial chaos.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign walked over the ruins of the Nvxin Clan in the Ancestral Court, stirred by the scene. She remembered again the Grand Emperor losing his mind and slaughtering her clansmen.
At this moment, her illusion fluctuated violently. Palace Heavenly Sovereign immediately changed the illusion, freeing herself from this sorrowful memory.
"I am the last Creator. I cannot die," she admonished herself.
At that time, the Grand Emperor had received the collective worship of all Creator races. Both his physical body and divine consciousness had reached unimaginable heights. His divine consciousness had broken through the ultimate void, imprinted in the ultimate void, transforming into the incomparably beautiful Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven. In the Great Luo Heaven, the Dao tree grew, the Dao flower bloomed, and the Dao fruit formed.
The Grand Emperor was at his zenith. He didn't need to conquer other races; they had already submitted. And Palace Yun Divine King thus became the most powerful woman, the two of them jointly ruling the entire universe.
The Grand Emperor's madness exceeded everyone's expectations.
When she stood on the ruins of the Nvxin Clan and looked around, seeing the scattered and broken corpses of her clansmen everywhere, she also went mad.
She dashed to death the son she had borne with the Grand Emperor, turned around, and threw herself into the arms of the Grand Emperor's adopted son, Taichu.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign left the Ancestral Court.
She arrived at the Primordial Realm.
The Primordial Realm did not exist in the ancient times. It was formed when the Ancestral Court split apart during the final battle of the Creators, with a large piece of land expanding to become the Primordial Realm, also called the Primordial Capital.
She walked through the Primordial Realm. Ahead, war raged everywhere. Surrounded by layers of illusions, Palace Heavenly Sovereign looked into the distance and saw the Heavenly Court's army pursuing the thirty-three heavens of Carefree Village, having already fought their way here.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, landing on the massive figures leaping back and forth in the battlefield, fighting incessantly.
Those were Creators.
Lang Wan was leading the surviving Creators, fighting against the Heavenly Court, defending Carefree Village together with the remnants of the Kaihuang Era!
Palace Heavenly Sovereign let out a dreamlike moan, feeling the piercing pain in her Dao heart.
Lang Wan Divine King noticed her, was startled, and quickly flew over, imprinting layers of divine consciousness Dao techniques into the void, tightly sealing it. Alertly, she said: "Palace Yun, have you come to kill me? These are all that remain of the Creators!"
The woman before her possessed unparalleled confidence and conviction, shouting at her almost hoarsely: "The Other Shore has already been destroyed! All the Creators, only these people remain! If you block us, the Creator race will be exterminated by your hands!"
Palace Heavenly Sovereign looked at her blankly. This beautiful Creator looked like her younger self. She murmured: "I am not the last Creator?"
Lang Wan shook her head: "Kill us, and you still won't be the last Creator. From the moment you became one of the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns, you were no longer a Creator."
Crack.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign seemed to hear the sound of her Dao heart breaking.
Before her eyes, layers of illusions shattered like smashed glass.
She revealed a bitter smile, raised her hand to touch Lang Wan's face, and whispered: "Don't learn from me..."
The destruction caused by Qin Mu's sword erupted within her Dao heart. Before Lang Wan, Palace Heavenly Sovereign shattered like a porcelain doll.
Lang Wan was stunned, wanting to grasp her hand, but when she reached out, it was like touching ashes.
Palace Heavenly Sovereign, the former Palace Yun Divine King, turned to dust before her eyes.
Her divine consciousness also turned to dust.
