Chapter 1800: Thirty-Six Heavens of the Dao Realm
She was indeed severely injured. The Red String Knot Seal of the Miluo Palace Master had been seventy to eighty percent broken by her and Wuya, but the residual power that erupted still heavily wounded her!
Qin Mu’s vertical eye on his brow clearly saw everything that happened at the bottom of the Chaotic Sea.
Gongzi Wuji was driven into the seabed by the residual power of the Miluo Palace Master’s Red String Knot Seal. The force of that palm strike nearly crushed Gongzi Wuji!
Wuji used every means to resist, but it was all useless.
That strike from the Miluo Palace Master almost annihilated her entirely. The transformations of the Red String Knot Seal were not merely about sealing; the runic changes within were exquisitely intricate. Almost every rune in the knot was imprinted on every rune of Wuji’s primordial qi, suppressing her cultivation with deadly force.
If the Red String Knot Seal had not already been worn down by more than half, that single seal from the Miluo Palace Master would have completely dissolved Wuji’s cultivation and killed her on the spot!
It was precisely because Qin Mu saw this scene that he dared to be so confident. Otherwise, he would have definitely thrown the Third and Fourth Young Masters here and turned to leave immediately.
The Miluo Palace Master was undeniably the foremost figure of the sixteen cosmic epochs, and his divine abilities could be called immeasurable!
It was hard to imagine how powerful he was when he was alive!
Gongzi Zixiao and Gongzi Lingxiao’s gazes fell on Wuji, their eyes lighting up. Their opportunity had finally arrived. Eliminating Gongzi Wuji and Old Man Wuya would allow them both to descend completely!
If they could also keep Qin Mu here, then there would be no more obstacles in their way!
Yue Tianshang was somewhat nervous, looking around, observing everyone’s expressions and subtle movements, trying to find the right moment to act. At this moment, the World Tree and the Guixu were still annihilating each other, Old Man Wuya’s power was steadily decreasing, and Gongzi Wuji’s aura was growing weaker and more feeble.
However, Qin Mu never gave her the signal to act, which made her feel uneasy.
No one in the Guixu Abyss moved, only the terrifying fluctuations from the mutual annihilation of the World Tree and the Guixu raged on.
Suddenly, the sound of a zither slowly began to play. Around Gongzi Zixiao, the Great Thousand Alien Realms reappeared, transforming into sacred and solemn Great Luo Heavens.
Gongzi Lingxiao raised his Dao Spear and thrust it into the Chaotic Sea, like a pillar stabilizing the sea, calming its waves.
Old Man Wuya desperately urged the World Tree, trying to stabilize the trend of mutual annihilation between the World Tree and the Guixu. Among them all, he was the most disheveled.
His peak period was at the end of the Sixteenth Epoch, when there were countless Dao Achievers, and his power was at its strongest, unmatched and arrogant.
But when he came to the Seventeenth Epoch, he never expected that Taiyi would directly sneak over, possess the Seventeenth Epoch’s Taiyi, and chop his main body in half with an axe, burning it clean with a heat death flame.
After his rebirth, the World Tree had never returned to its peak state. His current cultivation was less than one percent of his prime.
If he died here, it would be too pathetic.
He looked up toward the sky. The lotus leaf that Qin Mu had used to seal the entrance of the Guixu Abyss had been shattered by the Miluo Palace Master’s Red String Knot Seal, giving him hope of escape.
But since Qin Mu and the others did not move, he dared not make any move either.
At this moment, whoever moved first would likely be attacked by everyone else.
Gongzi Wuji suppressed her injuries, looked around, and sneered, “The teacher cannot kill me, and you all are even less capable. You think that because the teacher severely wounded me, and with the sacrifice of that old waste Wuya, you can eliminate me? What a spring and autumn dream. You underestimate me too much.”
Beneath her feet, the shattered lotus platform reappeared, spinning and reassembling itself. The broken lotus leaves scattered on the sea surface also restored themselves.
Gongzi Lingxiao’s Dao Spear, which was suppressing the Chaotic Sea, kept trembling, barely able to hold it steady. His expression turned grave.
Even wounded to this extent, Gongzi Wuji still possessed strength that he could not hope to match!
Gongzi Zixiao waved his hand over his ancient zither. One end of the zither clicked open, revealing a sword hilt. Gongzi Zixiao grasped the hilt, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
The ancient zither was his deceased wife’s Dao weapon; the sword within the zither was his own Dao weapon.
After becoming the Fourth Young Master of the Miluo Palace, he missed his late wife and continuously refined her Dao weapon. The power of the ancient zither had long surpassed its original state by an unknown degree.
But his true weapon of choice was still the sword in the zither. That sword was his Dao weapon from when he was the Universe Emperor, suppressing a long history of an entire universe!
Qin Mu took a deep breath. Yue Tianshang’s heart stirred, and she quickly sidestepped. Behind her, the Chaotic Hall’s Dao Fruits emitted light that pierced through the chaos, illuminating the hall.
Yue Tianshang looked back and saw the Dao chains interweaving within the Dao Fruits, making Qin Mu’s World Tree shine brilliantly.
On the World Tree, the textures of thousands of branches and leaves flowed continuously. The Great Dao was like dragons, forming the patterns of those leaves and branches.
“Mu is also using every means he has!”
Yue Tianshang’s heart sank. Qin Mu’s three Dao Fruits and three Dao Flowers emitted Dao chains that interwove into the vision of sixteen Chaotic Rivers, resembling the sixteen rivers in the Chaotic Hall.
This was Qin Mu’s Thirty-Sixth Heaven of the Dao Realm, but it was not yet complete.
The Universe Bell was Qin Mu’s Thirty-Fifth Heaven of the Dao Realm, which he had cultivated three thousand years ago. However, he had spent over three thousand years on the Thirty-Sixth Heaven of the Dao Realm, and it had only taken a preliminary form, not fully cultivated.
When he reached the Thirty-Fifth Heaven of the Dao Realm, Xu Shenghua, Lan Yutian, the Kaihuang, and Taishi had all helped Qin Mu greatly. But when it came to the Thirty-Sixth Heaven of the Dao Realm, even existences like Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian could not help him at all. He had to slowly comprehend it on his own.
Qin Mu even felt that this heaven of the Dao Realm might require him to return to the past and experience the sixteen cosmic epochs before it could be completed!
Nevertheless, the divine abilities contained in the Thirty-Sixth Heaven of the Dao Realm already possessed extraordinary power.
Qin Mu’s readiness to use this move showed that he did not have enough confidence to handle the current situation!
This move was not yet mature. Using it rashly could easily be broken by the opponent, putting him at a disadvantage.
Splash.
Old Man Wuya scooped up a handful of chaotic water to wash the blood from his face, breaking the silence. His face no longer bore its former kindness and amiability, but was tinged with a green aura. He sneered, “Wuji, we only have one path: kill them all! After that, I leave the Guixu, and you can break free!”
Before he finished speaking, Gongzi Wuji had already struck fiercely!
Boom!
The Chaotic Sea boiled, shaking Gongzi Lingxiao’s hands until they trembled, his Dao Spear unable to suppress the sea!
Gongzi Lingxiao leaped high into the air, spun once, pulled out his Dao Spear, and swung it down at Wuji!
At the same time, Gongzi Zixiao drew the sword from the zither. The ancient zither’s music rang out loudly, flying around him. In an instant, countless Great Luo Heavens of the Alien Realms were filled with his figures, attacking Wuji from all directions!
On the other side, Old Man Wuya roared, ignoring whether the World Tree would be damaged. He drove countless roots of the World Tree into the Chaotic Sea. Countless phantom Dao Fruits appeared on the World Tree. Old Man Wuya floated among those phantom Dao Fruits, spreading his arms wide. Behind him, countless branches of the World Tree turned into countless arms!
The World Tree looked like a monster with countless arms, each hand performing divine abilities, attacking Lingxiao, Zixiao, and Qin Mu!
At that moment, Qin Mu stepped forward against the myriad divine abilities. Sixteen Chaotic Rivers revolved around his form, and infinite time and space surged forth. Old Man Wuya’s various divine abilities passed through those sixteen Chaotic Rivers, disappearing into the vast years and universes.
His divine abilities did not truly disappear; they were still traveling through time and space. Some might reach Qin Mu in the next moment, some might take hundreds of thousands or millions of years to reach him, and others might take tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of years to reach him!
By then, whether Old Man Wuya still existed would be questionable!
This was one of the wonders of Qin Mu’s Thirty-Sixth Heaven of the Dao Realm!
The sixteen Chaotic Rivers revolved around Qin Mu, interweaving up and down, forming large circles. These circles were not perfect, but they were enough to block all attacks, making him immune to all methods!
Around Gongzi Wuji, lotus leaves stood upright like a forest of lotus leaves, blocking the three’s advance. In the center of the lotus leaf forest were Gongzi Wuji and the Sixteen-Pin Lotus Platform!
Gongzi Wuji raised her sleeve, and the Chaotic Sea surged upward, hanging upside down in the sky.
Qin Mu, Lingxiao, and Zixiao charged into the lotus leaf forest, unleashing their strongest attacks!
Gongzi Zixiao’s sword light was the fastest, flying in from all directions, clearing the lotus leaf forest, cutting off pieces of lotus leaves. Gongzi Lingxiao’s spear came down, smashing toward Wuji’s head.
The lotus platform beneath Wuji’s feet emitted a great Dao light, forming sixteen layers of defense, freezing Zixiao from countless Alien Realm Great Luo Heavens, preventing him from breaking through the platform’s defense.
But the next moment, Qin Mu’s sixteen Chaotic Rivers pierced through the defense of the Sixteen-Pin Lotus Platform, allowing Gongzi Lingxiao’s spear to smash into Wuji’s head!
Gongzi Zixiao immediately drove his Dao sword, attacking into the lotus platform.
Boom!
Wuji was smashed by the spear, blood streaming from her head. She grabbed the stem of a lotus leaf and stabbed it into Lingxiao’s chest. With her other hand, she seized the tip of the Dao Spear, swung Lingxiao around, and hurled him at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu and Lingxiao flew backward.
Shua!
Countless sword lights stabbed into Wuji’s body from all directions. Suddenly, the Chaotic Sea hanging upside down in the sky pressed down, crushing countless Alien Realm Great Luo Heavens to pieces. Gongzi Zixiao staggered out, revealing his true form, crushed under the Chaotic Sea.
A section of lotus root flew out from the sea, blowing in the air. Gongzi Zixiao was about to be reduced to ashes. Qin Mu steadied himself, and the sixteen rivers flew out to protect Zixiao.
Whoosh—
The airflow from the sixteen holes of the lotus root still pierced through the rivers, punching through Zixiao’s body. His wounds were transparent from front to back, blood gushing out from both sides. Thirty-two blood columns bloomed in the air like lotus flowers.
Gongzi Lingxiao charged forward again, clashing head-on with Wuji. His spear shadows spun like a whirlwind, never leaving Wuji’s body, but they could not break through her defense.
Every spear thrust encountered a miniature Guixu. The spear tip plunged into the Guixu. Wuji’s eyes blazed with light, two dark beams shining forth. One beam struck Lingxiao, the other struck the Dao Spear.
Lingxiao spat blood and flew backward. The Dao Spear bent, almost twisted into a ring, its surface covered with signs of erosion.
His Haotian Celestial Venerable body was also on the verge of collapse and dissolution under the black light.
Qin Mu activated the Unchanging divine ability to save him. Just as he rescued Lingxiao, Wuji raised her hand and stamped a seal on him. His body shook violently, and with a loud bang, he exploded. His physical body and primordial spirit rapidly expanded, turning into a universe of stars!
This was the Creation Calamity. Faced with such a great calamity divine ability, even Qin Mu found it hard to resist!
Wuji was about to activate the Annihilation Calamity divine ability to wipe out Qin Mu in one go when Gongzi Zixiao, wounded, attacked, his sword light piercing into her back!
Wuji waved her sleeve and slapped. Gongzi Zixiao’s body twisted, compressed, and shrank into a tiny point, then exploded, about to turn into chaos.
The universe of stars that Qin Mu had transformed into suddenly annihilated, turning into chaos. The Chaotic Hall emerged, and Qin Mu charged out from within. His five fingers spread wide, stamping a seal on Wuji’s face. With his other hand, he used the Unchanging divine ability to save Zixiao, who was about to turn into chaos!
Wuji waved her hand and brushed. Qin Mu spat blood and flew backward, crashing into the World Tree that was charging forward.
Bang!
Bang!
As Qin Mu landed, two heavy objects fell to the ground. Gongzi Lingxiao and Gongzi Zixiao also crashed into the World Tree.
Old Man Wuya immediately attacked the three. But they suppressed their injuries, moving like startled swans and swooping falcons. In the next moment, Old Man Wuya was spitting blood, lying on the tree roots, gasping for breath.
The three steadied themselves and looked at Wuji. A bright red palm print was deeply embedded in her face, almost pressing her nose, eyes, and mouth into her head.
That was Qin Mu’s on-the-spot learning and application, comprehending the power of the Red String Knot Seal.
Lingxiao’s Dao Spear had been straightened by him and pinned Wuji to the lotus platform. Zixiao’s Dao sword had cut off all the petals of the lotus platform.
Wuji coughed up blood repeatedly, trying to struggle up but unable to rise.
Zixiao summoned the ancient zither, and the music began to play, preparing to deliver the final blow to Wuji and Old Man Wuya.
At the same time, music also came from the Chaotic Hall behind Qin Mu.
Yue Tianshang sat in the hall, her expression calm, playing the Zixiao Dao-Realization Melody that Gongzi Zixiao’s deceased wife had composed.
