Chapter 1712: The Blasphemer's Divine Ability
The Heavenly Court encampment.
Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master, one controlling the physical body of Heavenly Emperor Hao, the other controlling the physical body of Primordial Beginning, stood outside and inside Qin Mu's domain respectively. Third Young Master slowly paced, observing the mysteries of this domain, searching for Qin Mu's weaknesses.
In the past universe, although he had crossed paths with Seventh Young Master Qin Mu many times, his understanding of Qin Mu's divine abilities and techniques was not deep. The Seventh Young Master of Miluo Palace was either out scheming others or on his way to scheme others, spending very little time in Miluo Palace.
Now, it was a good opportunity to observe Qin Mu's techniques.
In terms of cultivation, Qin Mu was not the one with the highest primordial energy in the universe of the Seventeenth Epoch.
Primordial Beginning and Heavenly Emperor Hao both had deeper primordial energy than Qin Mu.
Qin Mu's strength lay in the fact that he had already surpassed this era by too much. His vision, insight, and foundational knowledge far exceeded those of Primordial Beginning and Heavenly Emperor Hao.
He was not far from being a Young Master, and even Third Young Master dared not take him lightly.
Also trapped within Qin Mu's domain were countless main forces of the Heavenly Court, unable to escape.
Qin Mu's domain was too bizarre. No matter which direction they charged, they would only end up getting closer to Qin Mu. Therefore, they dared not move at all.
Especially the experts at the Imperial Throne realm of the Heavenly Court; they did not dare to take even half a step!
Qin Mu had killed the clone of the Hall Master of the Spirit Official Hall with such brutal and terrifying force. If they moved, no matter where they went, they would end up in front of Qin Mu, practically delivering themselves to be killed!
Besides them, there were also the Taiji Ancient God and the Empress. The Taiji Ancient God also saw the danger and dared not make any move.
The Empress noticed that no matter how much she turned her head, Qin Mu was always facing her directly. She found it quite fascinating and turned around a couple more times, letting out a giggle.
—The thinking of a Guixu goddess was often different from others.
Qin Mu, alone, with his own strength, held back the countless divine demon armies of the Heavenly Court, making everyone dare not cross the line!
If it weren't for Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master using their own auras to break his domain, even the divine demon armies of the Void Heavenly Venerable, the Ancestral God King, and the Xuan Du You Du would have been trapped here, unable to escape!
Only Third Young Master could be within Qin Mu's domain yet stand outside it. This alone showed how profound his foundation was.
Qin Mu's thirty-three layers of divine treasury domain were incomprehensible, but he understood them and could even transcend them!
This was the first time Qin Mu had encountered such a terrifying existence. Since his technique had reached perfection, his divine treasury domain had never been broken before—this was the first time!
Third Young Master didn't even seem to be breaking it; it was more like he saw through all the mysteries of the domain at a glance!
Fourth Young Master, unlike Third Young Master who paced around, stood within Qin Mu's domain, gazing at Qin Mu's Chaos Hall.
Qin Mu's domain consisted of thirty-three layers. To outsiders, there appeared to be thirty-three Qin Mus. But strangely, Fourth Young Master stood there as if penetrating the thirty-three layers of the domain, with a Fourth Young Master present in each layer!
He used another method to show that he had seen through the thirty-three layers of the domain.
The two Young Masters had different methods, but their foundations were both unfathomably deep!
Qin Mu immediately felt the pressure.
He wanted to block the Heavenly Court's army here to buy time for the Eternal Peace, but now it seemed this task was extremely difficult!
Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master did not directly attack. Although they had seen through Qin Mu's domain, in the past, Qin Mu was not known for his divine treasury domain.
The Seventh Young Master of Miluo Palace had attained the Dao through chaos, cultivating the Chaos Hall!
Even their teacher, the Master of Miluo Palace, had praised Qin Mu highly!
They were merely using the bodies of Heavenly Emperor Hao and Primordial Beginning to engage Qin Mu. Controlling someone else's body was not as convenient as descending themselves, and they also had to deal with the Seventh Young Master of the past universe. Therefore, this was a rare opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of the Seventh Young Master's Chaos Hall and its divine abilities.
By observing the current Qin Mu's techniques and abilities, they could then deal with the future Seventh Young Master!
The Chaos Hall floated within Qin Mu's Great Heavenly Court, containing boundless energy. However, this energy was tightly compressed within the hall, unable to leak out.
Qin Mu's Great Heavenly Court also followed the system of attaining the Dao through force, like Primordial Beginning and Heavenly Emperor Hao, cultivating heavenly palaces and treasured halls. However, Qin Mu had not fallen into the Jade Capital trap.
During his battle with the seventy-two Hall Master projections, he had already broken the trap and gained control over the power of the seventy-two halls.
As for cultivating the Chaos Hall, he had escaped the Lingxiao trap.
Not only that, but Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master also saw other methods of attaining the Dao from Qin Mu, such as Second Young Master's Guixu method and the Dao Realm method!
In addition, Qin Mu's World Tree puzzled them slightly. This method of attaining the Dao should be unique to the Seventeenth Epoch and had not yet been fully developed.
If chaos attaining the Dao was added, then from Qin Mu alone, five paths to attaining the Dao could be seen!
This was also the reason why Qin Mu was so powerful!
Suddenly, Third Young Master Lingxiao stopped in his tracks!
At the same time, Fourth Young Master Zixiao, who had been standing still observing, moved, directly crossing layers of space to arrive in front of Qin Mu!
Qin Mu also struck at the same instant. He did not use any other Dao Realm techniques; he directly used the thirty-third layer Dao Realm technique, Calamity Breaker!
His technique established the Dao, and the Calamity Breaker Sword was the most powerful technique he had created, capable of breaking all Dao techniques!
This sword contained his profound foundation, and the thirty-third layer Dao Realm formed by the Calamity Breaker had also trapped most of the divine demons of the Heavenly Court, even preventing the Empress and the Taiji Ancient God from moving!
He had cultivated Hongmeng primordial energy and used Hongmeng runes to re-evolve this technique, making its power far greater than before!
Fourth Young Master Lingxiao walked toward the Calamity Breaker Sword, raised a finger, and pointed at the oncoming sword light. Their finger and sword collided in the air, crackling and hissing.
Qin Mu had no sword in hand; he used Hongmeng primordial energy to form a purple sword. Fourth Young Master Zixiao used his finger to evolve his technique, and with a flick of his fingertip, purple energy filled the air—also Hongmeng primordial energy!
The moment their techniques collided, the thirty-three layers of the domain violently trembled. Layers of Dao Realm domains were thrown into chaos, time and space reversed, and the thirty-three layers tilted. Everyone within these thirty-three layers involuntarily slid forward, as if falling toward the same singularity!
They quickly stabilized themselves, only to find that they had been moved into different layers due to the clash of the two Young Masters.
What was even more terrifying was that they were now closer to Qin Mu!
Cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads. Their nostrils flared, their pupils contracted, and their throats went dry.
The Empress giggled, suddenly activated her Guixu technique, and a Guixu Abyss appeared. Her figure plunged into the abyss, laughing, "I'm not playing with you anymore! Farewell—"
The Guixu Abyss swallowed her, then closed up and vanished.
At the same time, the two Taiji Ancient Gods suddenly merged into a snake-headed, human-bodied giant, activated the Taiji Sand Table, and the sand table spun, carrying them away with a whoosh!
They seized the perfect moment—the instant Qin Mu and Fourth Young Master Zixiao clashed, when the thirty-three layers of the domain were shaking and not yet stable!
This was the best time to escape Qin Mu's domain.
Swish!
A patch of black light rippled, the abyss split open, and the Empress stepped out, laughing, "Now we can attack the Eternal Peace..."
Her smile suddenly froze. Ahead of her, the World Tree was lush and green, covering the heavens. She was still within Qin Mu's thirty-three layers of domain, even closer to Qin Mu!
She had activated her Guixu technique but still failed to escape Qin Mu's domain!
At the same time, the Taiji Sand Table spun with a whoosh and abruptly stopped. The two Taiji Ancient Gods separated, sweat pouring down their faces and bodies as they stared fixedly at Qin Mu beneath the tree ahead.
They were even closer to Qin Mu than the Empress!
The three of them froze, not daring to move again.
Fourth Young Master Zixiao stepped forward. Qin Mu's Calamity Breaker Sword had not broken through his finger technique. This finger technique was a Miluo Palace technique, with basic runes being Hongmeng runes—the most fundamental Dao runes, impossible to break!
In terms of the power of the two techniques, he was still a notch above Qin Mu's Calamity Breaker Sword!
The moment his Calamity Breaker Sword was broken, Qin Mu immediately changed his move, using the Hongmeng Finger to meet his finger. The two techniques were almost identical, but the variations contained within were different.
Although the Hongmeng Finger was derived from Hongmeng runes, each person's understanding was different, so the variations were different. The Hongmeng runes could evolve countless Daos within this finger, from the Five Primordial Supremes to all innate Daos, all of which could be manifested.
At this point, it was a contest of their foundations. Whoever had the deeper foundation would have more variations!
Crack!
Qin Mu's chest burst open, and his body flew backward, pinned to the World Tree by Fourth Young Master Zixiao's finger!
As he crashed into the World Tree, the thirty-three layers of the domain trembled again. The order of each layer shifted once more, and the formation of the countless Heavenly Court armies spun around again.
This time, they found themselves much farther from Qin Mu, no longer falling toward him. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Mu slid down from the World Tree. Suddenly, the Chaos Hall erupted with chaotic energy, billowing out in all directions, enveloping the World Tree!
At that moment, the World Tree seemed to be within the Guixu, surrounded by chaotic energy filled with heat-death winds, like a great calamity of destruction, where all Daos ceased to exist!
"Child's play." Fourth Young Master Zixiao stepped into this great calamity of destruction, speaking calmly.
Beneath the tree, Qin Mu reached out as if drawing a sword, staring fixedly at Fourth Young Master approaching through the chaotic energy.
Fourth Young Master's figure grew clearer and larger as he walked. He moved through the destruction calamity evolved by Qin Mu as if immune to all techniques, eternal and indestructible, the heat-death winds unable to harm him in the slightest.
At that moment, in the distant Maple Forest Valley, Moon Venerable moved her fingers, and the sound of a zither arose. Strands of zither music, under her control, invaded Qin Mu's domain and entered Fourth Young Master's ears!
Fourth Young Master lifted his foot. Hearing the zither music, his heart suddenly trembled, and his Dao heart was thrown into disarray.
Sword light flashed.
Qin Mu drew his sword, but what he drew was his own right hand!
Heavenly Capital Heaven-Opening Chapter!
"Blasphemer!"
Fourth Young Master retreated, but the sword light had already cut through layers of chaos, opening the heavens with one strike, and sliced into his brow. Fourth Young Master's mind became a blur, his consciousness instantly split apart as if by the opening of the heavens!
With this sword, Qin Mu directly killed his consciousness and obliterated his power!
Thud.
Behind Fourth Young Master, the Zixiao Hall collapsed with a roar, revealing a scene of the universe's creation, heaven and earth splitting apart!
Primordial Beginning immediately regained control of his body, transforming into a stream of Primordial Beginning energy and fleeing far away, but to his horror, he found himself getting closer to Qin Mu!
Swish.
A figure appeared before him, grabbed the back of his neck, and threw him out of Qin Mu's domain.
Third Young Master Zixiao's face darkened as he stared at Qin Mu's hand, his voice cold and sinister: "Old Seventh, you learned the Blasphemer's divine ability and used it against Miluo Palace. What are your ulterior motives?"
