Chapter 928: Exposed Cards (Third Update!)
"You're giving it to me?"
Qin Mu was enraged. His body shifted, and starlight descended from the heavens, causing his physique to swell section by section. His brows turned snow-white, radiating endless starlight, making him resemble a miniature Heavenly Lord. He raised his hand to shift stars and exchange constellations, his voice booming like a great bell: "Every single shit-stained hat I wear, I earned through my own abilities. What makes you think I need you to give it to me?"
He descended like the Heavenly Lord himself, his fists and feet sweeping wide. Starlight surged from his crown, transforming into the Seventh Heavenly Dao—the Firmament.
The Firmament was vast and boundless, pure as washed azure, enveloping a hundred miles of space. It gave the impression that within this hundred-mile radius, he was the supreme existence governing the Heavenly Dao!
His palm embodied the Fourth Heavenly Dao—the Heavenly Seal.
Every strike he delivered seemed like the Heavenly Lord punishing evil and rewarding good, landing on Yun Chuxiu's Dao heart. He sought to strike out the sin within her, to expose her weakness, to strip away her divinity, to reduce her to a mortal, to make her weep and wail in agony!
Behind him, the Heavenly Compass stood like a dipper, the Heavenly Mechanism like an umbrella, the Heavenly Sun as the great sun, and the Heavenly Yin as the bright moon.
Beneath his feet was the Heavenly Terrace, the primordial energy above his head formed a canopy, and his eyes were the Heavenly Eyes, spewing the flames of Heavenly Dao wrath.
Qi Jiuyi glanced at Yun Jianli in surprise and murmured, "This divine ability of Sect Master Qin's resembles your Yun family's techniques—ever-changing, wielding all kinds of divine abilities at will."
Yun Jianli also showed a look of astonishment, replying, "There are still differences. Mu Tianzun seems to have just stumbled upon this method; his application isn't yet refined. It's not from the Yun family's cultivation arts. I understand now!"
He lowered his voice: "Mu Tianzun is skilled in the art of creation and has delved deeply into the Heavenly Dao. That's why he can execute techniques similar to our Yun family's methods!"
Yun Chuxiu was forced back step by step, anger rising in her heart.
In her view, Qin Mu truly didn't know his limits. His very life was a gift from her. If she hadn't appeared at the Jade Pool to help You Tianzun hold off the other two Tianzuns, Qin Mu would already be a corpse by now.
What did it matter if she slapped a shit-stained hat on him?
But Qin Mu's attacks grew fiercer, wielding various Heavenly Dao divine abilities with effortless grace, each strike carrying immense power. Clearly, his magical power was extraordinarily vast, far surpassing his peers.
Yun Chuxiu was furious but reluctant to unleash her full strength.
She could sense many eyes watching this scene. Qin Mu was a reckless hothead who didn't grasp the gravity of the situation, but she knew the owners of those gazes were likely other Tianzuns.
If she killed Qin Mu or revealed her true techniques, she would give the other Tianzuns leverage against her.
Especially her true techniques.
Now, the Ten Tianzuns were all attempting to perfect the cultivation arts for the Heavenly Court realm. But unlike before, they were rife with discord and mutual distrust, forcing each to grope in the dark alone.
Never before had the Ten Tianzuns been so close to the Heavenly Court realm. Whoever fully mastered it first would become the ruler of this world!
If they obtained another Tianzun's complete cultivation art, it would be a double-edged sword: first, it would greatly aid their own efforts to create a complete Heavenly Court art; second, it would expose their opponent's weaknesses!
The Tianzuns schemed against each other, even sending spies into each other's sects to steal techniques. This had led to the current situation where the Ten Tianzuns, when taking disciples, dared not teach their true arts in full.
"This brat is so troublesome. Without using my real techniques and divine abilities, it's hard to defeat him! But this body isn't the one from the ghost ship—it's a new one I forged with the Creation Divine Artifact. It can't hold much magical power..."
Yun Chuxiu nearly got injured several times, her anger boiling over.
This body of hers was only at the Divine Bridge realm, not yet ascended to the Heavenly Palace. The earlier surge in the Wood Core's power came from her true body channeling magical energy to suppress Lang Tianzun's lineage.
Relying solely on this body's abilities, without revealing her true techniques, she couldn't hold off Qin Mu.
Their speed increased, Qin Mu trying to force her to use her real divine abilities. But Yun Chuxiu was slippery, evading his relentless assault.
Just then, a massive hand reached out from the void, smashing countless flying halls of the Langxuan Divine Palace into dust, hurtling toward Qin Mu!
Qin Mu's form shifted, transforming into the bull-headed, human-bodied, tiger-faced Earth Lord. The horns atop his head pierced the sky, spewing rolling demonic fire and lava like two Yellow Springs. He raised a hand to slash across his brow, and the vertical eye there split open!
Shiiing—
A beam of light sliced through, cleaving the giant hand in two. A muffled groan came from the void, followed by a gush of divine blood. A severed arm, split in half, fell from the sky.
It was a divine demon lurking deep in space, trying to ambush Qin Mu during their fight. But Qin Mu had transformed into the Earth Lord and used the Earth Lord's Eye to sever its arm!
The power of Qin Mu's vertical eye was exceptionally rare. The divine demon, though formidable, retreated immediately after losing its arm, leaving no trace.
Yun Chuxiu seized the moment to strike, appearing behind Qin Mu and slapping her palm toward his back.
Bang!
Her palm landed on Qin Mu's back, the force erupting. Her palm became like a Guixu Abyss, instantly twisting Qin Mu's physical body and primordial spirit, pulling them into her hand!
Suddenly, the back of her hand split open, and a sword light shot out, stabbing toward her brow!
Yun Chuxiu was startled and retreated swiftly. But Qin Mu seemed to have grown onto the back of her hand, now only a foot tall, as if fused with her flesh. No matter how she retreated, she couldn't shake him off—nor could she evade that sword!
Yun Chuxiu clenched her fist and punched out, shattering a dilapidated hall. Suddenly, a blade light flashed from within the hall, slashing at Qin Mu. Another divine being was hiding there, waiting to ambush him.
Yun Chuxiu had sensed its presence and forced it out with her punch to turn the tide.
Qin Mu's form vanished from her hand, and the divine being's blade strike ended up aimed at Yun Chuxiu instead.
Yun Chuxiu frowned slightly, raised a finger, and pointed. The divine being's eyes filled with horror as its body collapsed inward, compressing into a tiny ball of flesh that burst with a bang!
By then, Qin Mu had appeared behind Yun Chuxiu. A chill ran down her spine. A vast, ancient aura of the Great Dao surged from Qin Mu behind her, rising to the heavens. It felt like the ancestor of all Daos, the progenitor of all laws!
If she closed her eyes, just sensing that aura, she could envision a magnificent, boundless Heavenly Court rushing toward her, with Qin Mu as its supreme sovereign!
"Heavenly Emperor!"
Yun Chuxiu gritted her teeth: "You dare use that bastard's divine abilities against me? Against this Empress?"
Her aura shifted abruptly. Her hair flew, her robes fluttered, and a completely different presence erupted, suppressing even the aura of the supreme Dao sovereign emanating from Qin Mu!
Yun Chuxiu was truly enraged now, utterly furious. If Qin Mu hadn't used the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's divine abilities, she might have held back. But he had, and she could no longer contain herself.
Her hatred for that man was overwhelming. In that moment, she saw Qin Mu as that heartless scoundrel. Her own cultivation art exploded fully as she struck back.
The Great Dao sang in unison, as if billions of deities were chanting Dao words simultaneously, deafening!
Qin Mu sensed over twenty different auras erupting from her delicate body at once, like over twenty great emperors who had cultivated different arts.
This sensation was bizarre. Yun Chuxiu was one person, yet she had over twenty distinct auras, as if she were a fusion of over twenty great emperors!
This meant she had cultivated over twenty different Emperor Seat cultivation arts and blended them together!
This was nearly impossible. Qin Mu had merged Emperor Seat arts to create his own Overlord Body Three Dan Art, which was already a remarkable achievement.
But fusing over twenty Emperor Seat arts—even if Qin Mu could find that many arts, merging them would be incredibly difficult.
Yet Yun Chuxiu had done it. Or rather, the Empress had.
Two terrifying divine abilities clashed. Qin Mu felt an overwhelming force shatter his Heavenly Emperor divine ability, making the so-called supreme Dao sovereign seem utterly fragile!
Boom—
The chaotic Langxuan Divine Palace was swept clean in a massive swath, countless halls tumbling away!
Qin Mu was sent flying too. The debris and rubble from the halls crashed into him, pressing him down. Yun Chuxiu's terrifying power was truly beyond imagination!
Once, Qin Mu had been severely wounded by Yan Qiling's Heavenly Emperor divine ability, Dao One. Now, having obtained the Dao Ancestor's research on the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's Dao runes and comprehended the Heavenly Emperor's divine abilities, he found them utterly unable to withstand a single blow from a Heavenly Court realm cultivation art!
Yun Chuxiu roared and pursued, unleashing an even more terrifying divine ability, shouting, "All worthless men must die!"
Bang—
The halls and rubble piled on Qin Mu were blasted into dust. One by one, the great halls and massive stones exploded, turning into clouds of mist!
This woman, when out of control, was truly terrifying!
Just then, a sword light flew out from the smoke and dust, piercing through her divine ability. The next moment, it stabbed through Yun Chuxiu's palm, even as her palm slammed violently into Qin Mu's body.
Boom, boom.
Two thunderous sounds rang out. Qin Mu's body exploded into a cloud of blood mist. The other sound came as the sword light pierced through Yun Chuxiu's brow. The beauty's head burst apart with a bang, blooming like a gorgeous flower!
Long Qilin, Qi Jiuyi, and the others rushed over, but before they could reach the scene, the blood mist coalesced, reforming Qin Mu's body!
And Yun Chuxiu's shattered head was also knitting back together, reforming her stunningly beautiful face, the wounds vanishing without a trace.
Long Qilin, Qi Jiuyi, and the others halted, shocked and uncertain.
Qin Mu sheathed his sword, laughing heartily with a hint of pride: "Empress, your cultivation art is exposed, and two of your divine abilities have been leaked. How does it feel to have this shit-stained hat I slapped on your head?"
Yun Chuxiu's face turned ashen. Then, suddenly, she broke into a charming smile, alluring and seductive: "And you were forced to reveal that your soul has recovered, that you're no longer soulless. That's no small shit-stained hat either, is it?"
The two stared at each other, eyes wide. Suddenly, Qin Mu laughed heartily and said, "The Langxuan Divine Palace is finished. Where to next?"
Yun Chuxiu cheered, stepped forward, and linked her arm with his, looking up at his face with a syrupy sweetness: "Let's go to Ancestral God King's place. He's so much fun!"
—Third update is here! No updates at midnight, everyone. Don't wait up. I'll have another burst another day!
