Chapter 1621: I Am a Madman from Chu
"Collect?"
The reincarnated body of the Heavenly Emperor Hao frowned. This person's tone made him very uncomfortable. Mu Tianzun was arrogant enough, but he was always polite in his daily dealings, never losing decorum, and never too unrestrained.
But this youth, who appeared from nowhere, had a way of speaking that could suffocate a person. His words were light and casual, yet they gave off a feeling of looking down on everything.
His appearance was identical to that of Yu Tianzun from back then, making it clear at a glance that he was a young Yu Tianzun created by the Creation Divine Artifact. Back when the Divine Artifact Yu Tianzun had just been successfully developed, some among the Ten Tianzun had tried to create young Yu Tianzun and send them down to the mortal realm, but most had died in Yankang.
This person must have obtained one of those young Yu Tianzun from that batch.
"I am the Heavenly Emperor Hao." The Heavenly Emperor Hao smiled slightly.
Xing Han nodded. "You are quite challenging."
The Heavenly Emperor Hao took a long, deep breath, thinking to himself, "This person can infuriate someone with a single sentence. How has he survived until now?"
He didn't know that too many people wanted to kill Xing Han. Even Qin Mu back then had wanted to kill Xing Han, but had never been able to eliminate him.
"From the traces left by your battle with the reincarnated body of Fire Tianzun, I can see that you are proficient in another aspect of the Primordial Beginning Dao—the Primordial Unity Qi."
Xing Han surveyed his surroundings, then lightly raised his hand. The corpse of Fire Tianzun's reincarnated body floated up, and with a *shua* sound, it split into four parts. The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, sinews, bones, skin, and flesh were all neatly separated, giving the Heavenly Emperor Hao a bizarre and surreal feeling.
This move by Xing Han laid out the physical structure of a god or demon in extreme detail, allowing one to clearly see the most minute structures of a divine or demonic body. Even the fine structure of the bone marrow was revealed, leaving almost no secrets!
The various divine treasuries and celestial palaces within Fire Tianzun's body were all spread out, and every injury was laid bare!
This move made the Heavenly Emperor Hao's hair stand on end. "Is this person a butcher by trade? He's too familiar with the physical structure of gods and demons!"
Xing Han said, "From the death state of Fire Tianzun's reincarnated body, his soul was twisted, and his celestial palaces and divine treasuries were all twisted into a vortex by a terrifying force. The other technique you are proficient in should be based on the Dao of Guixu."
He showed an appreciative expression. "You have fused these two great Daos and comprehended the Dao realm of Primordial Unity Qi to the thirtieth heaven. It is very rare to have cultivated to such a state."
The reincarnated body of the Heavenly Emperor Hao was even more astonished, and he couldn't help but feel a desire to cherish talent. He asked curiously, "You can see all that?"
"Mu Tianzun is also proficient in Primordial Unity Qi and the Dao of Guixu, so of course I can see it."
Xing Han continued to examine the traces of divine abilities around him and Fire Tianzun's body, analyzing, "Your number of celestial palaces is extremely high. One of your Great Heavenly Court techniques should already be perfected, reaching thirty-six celestial palaces. Fire Tianzun was guarding against this technique of yours. However, your other technique, which is primarily based on the Dao of Guixu, made it impossible for him to defend against. His Dao Fire happened to be restrained by this technique of yours, allowing your divine ability to invade his body, twist his divine treasuries and celestial palaces, and directly crush his soul."
He examined the battle traces around him and continued, "But this technique based on the Dao of Guixu hasn't perfected its number of celestial palaces. It should only have thirty-five."
He touched the traces of the celestial palaces in Fire Tianzun's reincarnated body, checking the types of these celestial palaces, and said, "These thirty-five types of celestial palaces of yours, and your other thirty-six types of celestial palaces, are mostly repetitive. However, their arrangement order and primary-secondary relationships are different, thus producing different technique effects. I suspect this is due to your lack of wisdom."
The Heavenly Emperor Hao laughed heartily, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing. "I lack wisdom?"
"It's a bit lacking."
Xing Han nodded and said, "The arrangement order of the celestial palaces in your two Great Heavenly Court techniques is not the optimal solution. Therefore, both techniques have flaws. This should be because your mathematical skills are not up to par."
He raised his palm, and the box opened.
The Heavenly Emperor Hao's pupils contracted, and a chill ran down his spine. He saw flying out of the box the brains of various gods and demons. The thoughts and consciousness within these brains were still there, and these brains were still operating on their own. Countless divine lights could be seen flowing across the surfaces of these brains!
"These brains are ones I have collected. Don't worry, they are all dead people."
Xing Han glanced at him and explained, "Chief Qin Mu always wants to get rid of me, but he is a man of principles. If I were to kill people indiscriminately, he would stop at nothing to kill me. So I only choose those gods and demons who have already died in battle. They are dead, so their brains are useless to them, so I take them out. When they were alive, all kinds of distracting thoughts troubled them, but after death, without those distracting thoughts, they become my best computational divine weapons. Using biological brains as computational spirit weapons is even faster than the most advanced computational spirit weapons in Yankang!"
He sighed regretfully and said, "Actually, what I want most is Chief Qin Mu's brain. Unfortunately, he would never give it to me. After I have thoroughly studied you, your brain will also appear among them."
His spirit shook, and he waved his sleeve. Countless divine and demonic brains arranged and combined in the air, forming a huge biological brain neural plexus array, performing extremely complex calculations. Divine light flowed through this neural plexus array with incredible speed.
The Heavenly Emperor Hao stared, mesmerized, and murmured, "Some of them were very stupid people when they were alive. You say that connecting their brains together can surpass me? Impossible!"
Xing Han said, "They might have been very stupid when they were alive, but what was stupid was not their brains, but their various thoughts. This is related to their education and living environment when they were alive, not to their brains."
He patiently explained, "After they die, these thoughts disappear. As long as each person's brain is kept active, it can be called the fastest computational spirit weapon. I am just recycling waste, using these brains to make myself smarter. I can easily find different sequences of celestial palaces to achieve the optimal solution for a Heavenly Court technique. But someone like you, who is not smart enough, cannot find the optimal solution."
The Heavenly Emperor Hao looked up at the brain matrix in the sky and praised, "You remind me of someone. That person is Shi Qiluo, the Palace Master of the Zaofu Celestial Palace in the Heavenly Court, also my mother, Lady Yuanmu. She also had a box with strange things inside."
"Shi Qiluo?"
Xing Han thought for a moment, then lightly raised his hand. A messy head flew out of the box. "Is it this person? I found this head from the battlefield in Xuandu. His Dao is too low-level. He only uses the Dao of Creation and the Dao of Guixu. Compared to me, he is... "
He pondered for a moment, then reached out and drew a straight line in the air. "...a line behind. Chief Qin Mu's line."
The Heavenly Emperor Hao looked at the head. It was full of a bushy beard, and it was indeed Shi Qiluo. He must have been beheaded by someone during the battle in Xuandu, and then this person picked it up.
But what made his hair stand on end was that Shi Qiluo's skull had been opened, and the brain inside was missing!
He looked up at the brain matrix in the sky. Shi Qiluo's brain must be in there!
He then looked at Xing Han's box. What other terrifying things were hidden inside this box?
"You are so evil that even I shudder. Mu Tianzun actually dares to use you. He is truly audacious."
The Heavenly Emperor Hao couldn't help but praise, "If you were to pledge allegiance to me, I could appoint you as the Palace Master of Zaofu. I greatly appreciate your talent."
Xing Han raised his hand and retracted the brain matrix from the air. "Chief Qin Mu doesn't dare to use me. He is afraid I might do something outrageous. The one who dares to use me is the Emperor of Yankang. Her tolerance is much greater than that of narrow-minded beings like Chief Qin Mu. I will go to the Heavenly Court. The collection there must be very rich."
He closed the box and said, "I have already calculated the flaws in your techniques. You can become my collection now."
The Heavenly Emperor Hao's pupils contracted sharply. Xing Han had shown him the brain matrix and talked so much with him, all with the purpose of using the brain matrix to deduce the flaws in his techniques from the various traces of divine abilities left here and the various injuries in Fire Tianzun's body!
Now, Xing Han should have deduced some kind of flaw, hence the reveal of his true intentions!
Although the Heavenly Emperor Hao thought very highly of himself, after coming into contact with the Yankang Reformation, he realized that the world was full of people with all kinds of talents.
This Xing Han might be one of them!
At that moment, Xing Han made his move!
The Heavenly Emperor Hao let out a low shout, and a set of celestial palaces burst forth from behind his head, forming two Great Heavenly Courts. The two Great Heavenly Courts stood upright, transforming into two Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheels, one positive and one negative, one dark and one light!
A perfect combination of Primordial Unity Qi and the Dao of Guixu!
This reincarnated body of his was only a reincarnation of a single soul clone. His current cultivation realm was still at the Tianhai Realm, between the Yao Chi and the Execution Platform. But with just his techniques, he could contend with experts at the Lingxiao Realm of the traditional cultivation system!
Adding his thirty-heaven Dao realm cultivation, he could compete with beings at the Dizuo Realm!
Of course, he was slightly inferior to the Dizuo Realm experts of Yankang. Although there weren't many Dizuo Realm experts in Yankang, there were a few, and their foundations were all extremely solid.
The Yankang Reformation had a history of one hundred and thirty years. Over the past one hundred and thirty years, the ever-changing techniques and divine abilities had become increasingly intense, also creating a large number of elites.
The Heavenly Emperor Hao had intervened relatively late, but as a Tianzun who had created the cultivation realms a million years ago, he was no mere figurehead. In just a few decades, he had already become one of the strongest beings in Yankang!
He could kill the reincarnated body of Fire Tianzun without a scratch, so he naturally had this confidence and foundation!
However, just as he was pushing his techniques to their limit, Xing Han flew over. The two clashed at close range. The moment the Heavenly Emperor Hao activated his techniques, Xing Han pointed a finger at the center of his Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel.
At that moment, the Heavenly Emperor Hao felt a flaw appear in the operation of his techniques, becoming slightly sluggish. The two Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheels, which had been perfectly combined, immediately clashed with each other. The two different forces collided, and the celestial palaces crashed into one another, showing a trend of mutual destruction!
Before he could find out where the flaw was, Xing Han had already struck his palm towards his glabella!
The Heavenly Emperor Hao's Dao realm divine ability erupted. *Boom, boom, boom!* Thirty consecutive Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheels, each borrowing power from the other, unfolded layer upon layer. This attack had once forced Qin Mu to retreat on the Chaotic River in the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court, pushing him onto the Chaotic River with a single move!
But Xing Han gently deflected it, and the divine ability of the wheels borrowing power from each other instantly became mutually restraining, colliding and annihilating each other!
The Heavenly Emperor Hao was shocked. Xing Han's magical power was much more profound than that of his reincarnated body, and his techniques and divine abilities were even more bizarre and unpredictable!
Xing Han should have only found one flaw in his techniques, but that one flaw was enough to be fatal!
In his fluster, Xing Han's palm had already struck his glabella.
His primordial spirit shook violently, expelled from his body.
*Shua, shua, shua!* A series of steel needles pierced into his physical body, blocking his primordial spirit outside.
Xing Han reached out to grab his primordial spirit, trying to capture his soul. The Heavenly Emperor Hao sneered, and his primordial spirit flew up towards the heavens. "I am the Heavenly Emperor! How dare you covet my soul?"
Xing Han flicked his fingers repeatedly, and the Heavenly Emperor Hao's primordial spirit immediately had its spirit and soul separated. He was startled. "Yankang monster!"
He hurriedly withdrew his own soul, while his other souls and spirit were swept away by Xing Han into his sleeve.
"I will find the flaws in my techniques and tear you limb from limb!" From beyond the heavens, the voice of one of the Heavenly Emperor Hao's souls came.
Xing Han ignored him, put away the other souls and spirit body of the Heavenly Emperor Hao's reincarnated body, and stored them in his box.
"By then, I should have found even more flaws in your techniques."
His primordial energy was like a knife and like silk, carefully dissecting the reincarnated body of the Heavenly Emperor Hao, a look of excitement shining in his eyes.
The box bounced around with a *pa-ta pa-ta* sound, as if urging him on.
Xing Han looked up, rolled up the already layer-by-layer unfolded reincarnated body of the Heavenly Emperor Hao, and placed it in the box. "You're right. I can't be too shocking. Chief Qin Mu is narrow-minded. If he finds out I did this in broad daylight, he will definitely make things difficult for me. Let's go back..."
"Speaking of which, could I have a piece of Chief Qin Mu's brain? It can regenerate anyway, don't you think... I don't think so either. That guy is very stingy..."
