6"Mu'er is back?"
7
8Apothecary turned back and smiled when he saw Qin Mu. "I've have fed this dragon qilin of yours well. He's much sturdier now."
9
10Qin Mu was slightly numb. "Sturdier..."
11
12That fat ball popped his head out from the pot. He was overjoyed when he saw Qin Mu. He hurriedly ran over with his short legs, but since his legs couldn't touch the ground, his head crashed into the floor, and he started bouncing. He rolled over to Qin Mu while crying out, "Cult Master, I'm fine. I can crawl back up after rolling two rounds."
13
14Qin Mu hurriedly avoided him and said bitterly, "Grandpa Apothecary, this isn't sturdy at all! Where's Ling'er? Ling'er! How could you let Fatty Dragon eat so much and become so fat?"
15
16Apothecary said, "Ling'er is not here. She has gone off to cultivate with Fox Immortal. Doesn't Fatty Dragon need to eat three meals a day, and one meal has to be one bucket of spirit pills?"
17
18Qin Mu was dumbfounded.
19
20The dragon qilin stopped rolling, and his four limbs were all pointing up to the sky. He clawed forward a few times, but he could never flip himself over. His stubby tail straightened as he tried to push against the ground and flip himself, but no matter how he straightened his tail, it couldn't touch the ground at all.
21
22The dragon qilin panted heavily. "Cult Master, lend me a hand. Cult Master, Cult Master! Don't go away... Who is going to flip me over?"
23
24First Ancestor Human Emperor couldn't bear to see him like this, so went forward to give him a push. The dragon qilin flipped over, and he nudged his body around. He could finally see First Ancestor Human Emperor, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you very much, senior, for lending me a hand. My lunch is still not finished!" After saying this, he started to run eagerly towards the huge pot again.
25
26First Ancestor Human Emperor couldn't resist scolding, "You are still eating? Your master is already angry. He's going to put you on the table soon!"
27
28The dragon qilin jumped in shock and hurriedly stopped. He gave it some thought and began to eat again while replying in a muffled voice, "It's good to die as a satisfied ghost..."
29
30"You are hopeless!" First Ancestor shook his head and followed after Qin Mu.
31
32In the monastery, Village Chief was currently talking to Old Ma. He hurriedly floated up when he heard Qin Mu's voice, and he saw Qin Mu right away when he turned around. The other villagers also walked out from their rooms, and when they saw Qin Mu, it was another commotion.
33
34When Qin Mu saw Village Chief alive, he couldn't help wiping his tears. Village Chief said with a smile, "Don't be a little boy. You are Human Emperor, Heaven Saint Cult Master, and also the Grand Chancellor of Heaven Saint Academy, so how could you cry so easily? I'm alive now, alright?"
35
36Even though he had said that, his eyes were also red. At this moment, he suddenly saw First Ancestor Human Emperor, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his body facing the floor in a straight manner. "Student Su Muzhe pays my respects to First Ancestor Human Emperor!"
37
38First Ancestor Human Emperor helped him up and placed him on the recliner. "Get up. You weren't so reserved when you met me for the first time."
39
40Village Chief was extremely excited and said to First Ancestor, "This is my disciple! The current human emperor! The natural-born overlord body! Mu'er, Mu'er, come and pay your respects to First Ancestor. Kneel down and kowtow to him!"
41
42Qin Mu shook his head. "Why should I kneel? He can't beat me, and he even cried in Hall of Human Emperors after my beating."
43
44Village Chief scolded angrily, "Disgraceful! How could you destroy your ancestor? First Ancestor has remarkable abilities, and his abilities are all from Founding Emperor Era. If he can teach you a move or two, you can benefit—"
45
46Qin Mu called his attention. "Village Chief, he has already imparted his technique and mudra skills to me."
47
48"He has?"
49
50Village Chief's expression changed and instantly lost interest in First Ancestor Human Emperor. He said, "First Ancestor, please take a seat. Please pardon junior for being a cripple. I won't be getting up to welcome you."
51
52First Ancestor Human Emperor was flabbergasted. Nonetheless, he found a seat and sat down.
53
54Qin Mu said eagerly, "Village Chief, I found a technique for the creation of corporeal body. It's an Emperor's Throne technique of Crimson Light Era, and it can regrow your broken limbs! First Ancestor was crippled as well, and it was me who had imparted the technique to him and saved him from death!"
55
56Village Chief was surprised and delighted. His voice trembled as he asked, "Can my broken arms and legs grow back as well?"
57
58"Yes, they can!"
59
60Apothecary probed, "In that case, can my face grow back as well?"
61
62Qin Mu hesitated and said with a troubled look, "I haven't tried that before. First Ancestor only had his chin shattered, and he grew a new chin. I'm not so sure if a face could grow back."
63
64Apothecary said with a smile, "I had originally sliced my face off to cut off all relationship and never did I expect myself to still walk out of Great Ruins, picking up the past relationships once again. I'm starting to miss that face of mine. My enemies also don't dare to chase after me anymore, so it's best if I can get back my face. Anyway, it's fine if it can't grow back. I'm already used to it. Can Deaf's ears and Mute's tongue grow back as well?"
65
66Deaf snorted and turned to leave. "I'm not cultivating! I don't want ears!"
67
68Apothecary chuckled. "This old fellow... Don't mind him. He will cultivate once he has thought things through."
69
70Qin Mu started to talk about Light Emperor's Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture word for word, but Old Ma suddenly stopped him. "Let me chase the monks away so the technique won't get leaked."
71
72Qin Mu shook his head. "There's no need. I plan to spread this Emperor Throne's technique to the world through Emperor Yanfeng. Crimson Light Son of God will definitely pass this technique down to his clansmen, and if I keep the technique for myself, Eternal Peace will not be a match for the remaining survivors of Crimson Light. If that happens, there will only be a lot of trouble."
73
74Rulai Ma thought over it and nodded his head. "It's extremely difficult to comprehend an Emperor's Throne technique. Even if you impart it to the world, only divine arts practitioners can cultivate it, and those that will have success would be a mere few."
75
76What he said was the truth. The higher the quality of a technique was, the higher the comprehension, aptitude, and wisdom would be required. It would also be harder to cultivate that technique.
77
78For example, Devil Ape Zhan Kong and Monk Ming Xin had followed Brahma Buddha to study Emperor's Throne true scripture, but Brahma Buddha didn't teach anything to Qin Mu. He had only transformed himself into a buddha to suppress the sky above Qin word land. He said the technique was within the buddha and he let Qin Mu comprehend it by himself.
79
80Qin Mu still hasn't comprehended anything yet.
81
82The devil ape and Ming Xin were both people that possessed buddha nature and great wisdom in Buddhism, and both of them were able to learn Brahma Buddha's technique. As for the other monks, those who could learn were rare, and most of them just got the gist of it.
83
84For example, the techniques and divine arts of Dao Sect were based on the foundation of algebra, so they needed to have extremely high attainments in algebra.
85
86The things that were correlated to Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture were also very vast. There were requirements for algebra, knowledge on runes, knowledge on creation, knowledge on the structure of the corporeal body, and there were many aspects that were involved.
87
88Because First Ancestor Human Emperor and Qin Mu had studied all of these aspects, they were able to master the technique.
89
90If it were anyone else, just to study these things and achieving a certain success would have to take them dozens or even hundreds of years. At that point, their technique could only be considered to have just entered the basics.
91
92And this was only the requirement for wisdom!
93
94In addition to that, Emperor's Throne technique also has a strict requirement with aptitude and comprehension, so even if Qin Mu passed down the technique to the world, there wouldn't be a lot of divine arts practitioners who could cultivate Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture. Those who could achieve great success would be even fewer.
95
96Qin Mu taught Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture to everyone and this technique was all-inclusive. He tried to explain profound meanings with simple words to let everyone understand. However, the people of Disabled Elderly Village all had their own proficiencies and in the end, it was Granny Si who had first comprehend the cultivation trick to Anasrava Creation Mysterious Technique.
97
98Granny Si had cultivated Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scripture and she mainly cultivated the Seven Writings of Creation in Heavenly Devil Scripture, therefore, her attainments on this field surpassed the others.
99
100Qin Mu was very patient and explained to them over and over again, answering all the questions.
101
102Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture involved too much knowledge even he was starting to find it difficult to answer their questions. Luckily for him, Crimson Emperor had imparted his Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness to him and this technique was a technique that was about the creation of the primordial spirit, it could be placed beside Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture for comparison.
103
104First Ancestor Human Emperor was also beside and since he had cultivated this technique before, he had his own understanding. Questions that Qin Mu couldn't answer would be answered by him.
105
106Not long later, Deaf took his time to come back and he sat down to listen.
107
108Qin Mu talked for days and nights until his throat was parched. The second one who had comprehended the technique was surprisingly Deaf. As for Village Chie, Apothecary, Old Ma, Cripple, Mute and Blind, none of them had mastered it.
109
110Qin Mu had a headache and an inspiration suddenly came to him. He said with a smile, "I still have another Emperor's Throne technique here and it's called Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness. This is also a technique of Crimson Light Era. Let me teach you guys this technique and you guys can compare them."
111
112Village Chief frowned and said, "One Emperor's Throne technique is already difficult for us to absorb, if we have another one, we will have to comprehend our entire lifetime. Mu'er, let's not bite off more than we can chew."
113
114Qin Mu said with a smile, "That's what we need to do. Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture is for cultivating the corporeal body and this technique is for cultivating the primordial spirit, this two technique can cover up each other's flaws precisely and they have numerous concepts that are similar. If you guys learn these two techniques together, it might be even easier to master!"
115
116He started to explain Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness and the look of astonishment on everyone's face grew as they listened.
117
118When Qin Mu had explained Anasrava Creation Mysterious Technique just now, there were still many places that they didn't know and it was obvious that even Qin Mu didn't manage to completely comprehend it as well. Yet when he was explaining Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness, it was as if he was the founder of this technique, his comprehension wasn't simply just so thorough.
119
120He was literally a living Crimson Emperor that was imparting his learnings to everyone!
121
122And as a matter of fact, even though Qin Mu was the one explaining the technique to them, he was talking about Crimson Emperor's understanding and Crimson Emperor had handed over all of the consciousness regarding the technique to him!
123
124Crimson Emperor personally imparting his learnings was naturally not a small deal!
125
126As Qin Mu had said, the two techniques complemented each other. Numerous places that Village Chief and the rest couldn't comprehend were immediately comprehended when they heard Qin Mu's explanation and this made everyone nod their heads repeatedly.
127
128"Never would I expect after teaching Mu'er for so many years, we have now become his student instead." Apothecary sighed ruefully and smiled.
129
130As Qin Mu explained, his own understanding of Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture was also increasing and he could understand many techniques without comprehending, becoming skilled in all kinds of divine arts without cultivating.
131
132His heart was like a clear mirror that was mastering all kinds of marvel in the creation scripture.
133
134When he finished explaining Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness, his body suddenly trembled and he cried out, "Now I know why Light Emperor had lost and why Crimson Light Era was wiped out! When Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture doesn't have Undying God Consciousness, it has a major flaw!"
135
136Village Chief's aptitude and comprehension were extremely high and he immediately came to the realization. "Light Emperor's primordial spirit couldn't cultivate to the other two heads and four arms so the person that had killed him must have severed his other two heads and shaved him four arms first! This Light Emperor must have died miserably!"

141
142
143
144Everyone's expression became grim. Even though Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture was a top-notch technique, it wasn't completely perfect. Its weakness in the primordial spirit created a huge flaw in Light Emperor's technique.
145
146This flaw made the attacks from his four arms inferior to his two arms, and his two heads inferior to his main head. Because of this, when one faced strong practitioners on the same realm, their four arms and two heads would become their flaws.
147
148This flaw was the foremost reason why Light Emperor had lost.
149
150Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture was based around the three heads and six arms. The physique, the battle techniques of this era, and all of the techniques and divine arts were built on the foundation of three heads and six arms. Without two heads and four arms, their offensive method would be reduced by eighty to ninety percent. In other words, their moves would have a lot of flaws, and their abilities would be significantly reduced.
151
152This was why Village Chief said that Light Emperor had died miserably.
153
154From there, one could deduce that Crimson Light Era was defeated because of the same reason.
155
156During the later period of Crimson Light Era, divine arts practitioners mostly cultivated techniques like Anasrava Fighting God Technique, and these techniques were based on Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture. Since the main technique was already broken from the start, all the other techniques were broken as well!
157
158The eradication of an entire era was hugely related to Light Emperor's technique being broken!
159
160"Once Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture fuses with Undying God Consciousness, will there be no more flaw?" Butcher suddenly asked.
161
162Village Chief replied, "Maybe there will be, but we won't be able to see it. Crimson Light Era's technique focused too much on a single thing. Their entire era was built on an Emperor's Throne technique, and no matter how superior it was, once it was broken, the end would be horrible to see.
163
164Granny Si said, "Since Eternal Peace had all kinds of techniques now, we would avoid the same situation and fate that had happened to Crimson Light. Maybe it's a good thing."
165
166Everyone nodded their heads.
167
168First Ancestor Human Emperor observed them curiously. He saw that these people didn't look anything special and they even looked strange and weird—some were so beautiful that they could make people fall head over heels with them, some were ugly and shifty-eyed, and some were even missing limbs. However, all of their knowledge and horizons were extraordinary.
169
170Qin Mu had also imparted the two Emperor's Throne technique to First Ancestor, but First Ancestor never thought much of them in detail.
171
172Even though his realm was higher, he was still far inferior to these people of Disabled Elderly Village in certain aspects. These people had experienced rolling in the dirt, and they had learned about far too many ways of the world. This was something that First Ancestor had never experienced before.
173
174After First Ancestor became the human emperor, his interest waned, so he transformed into a stone statue to avoid the world.
175
176'No wonder they could teach Mu'er to become such a person.'
177
178He revealed a smile as he thought to himself, "If Mu'er were to live in Carefree Village, he wouldn't have become what he is now, and he wouldn't have his current achievements. This hodgepodge of people that had raised him made who he is today."
179
180Qin Mu explained the two techniques again. Cripple and Apothecary felt like the techniques were like heavenly books and they couldn't understand them no matter what. Village Chief said with a smile, "Mu'er, go and do your thing. We old fogeys will study more, and maybe we can help Apothecary and Cripple comprehend these techniques."
181
182Qin Mu made a gesture of acknowledgment and walked out with a gloomy face. He shouted, "Fatty Dragon, come over here!"
183
184The dragon qilin tried to run happily towards him, but he could only nudge himself over since his four limbs were barely touching the ground. He wanted to bow his head to admit he was wrong, but how could he do it when he had no neck? He couldn't even lower his head.
185
186"Did you not cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique that I had imparted to you?"
187
188Qin Mu felt an aching pain in his heart as he gave him a stern lecture. "Eight Voices of Ancestral Dragon reverberated the corporeal body and primordial spirit, so what medicinal energy can't be dissolved? If you had cultivated diligently, would you still be so fat? How am I supposed to meet others like this? Look at Senior Brother Tiger. He can rush into an army of ten thousand and take down the head of the enemy's general with Saint Woodcutter. If I ride you into battle, with your current speed, I would even be killed by a stray knife!"
189
190The dragon qilin lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
191
192Qin Mu said angrily, "Why aren't you speaking? You scammed Grandpa Apothecary into giving you lots of spirit pills, but in the end, you're the one at the losing end! It's fine if you're greedy. If you're greedy but hardworking, you wouldn't have become fat, and you will become stronger instead. Your dragon bead and qilin bead could even have cultivated to Life and Death Realm! Not only are you greedy, but you are also lazy! I don't want you anymore. Go to Fengdu! I'll return you to Patriarch!"
193
194With tears streaming down his face, the dragon qilin immediately begged for mercy.
195
196Qin Mu's fury couldn't be quelled. He wanted to drag him out of the city and into Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, but he was too fat and too heavy. Even with his divine strength, he couldn't drag him at all.
197
198Heaven knows how much spirit pills this dragon qilin ate in these two years! His weight was equivalent to the corporeal body of a god!
199
200"Sister Xiu, come and help me!" Qin Mu shouted.
201
202Ling Yuxiu walked over while chuckling. "Even if you move him to Fengdu, you will at least spend over a dozen days. You will also tire yourself out to death. Why don't you give him a chance and let him train his fats away? Won't that be settled?"
203
204The dragon qilin nodded his round head repeatedly. His eyes were still filled with tears.
205
206Qin Mu's heart softened. He finally relented and said, "In that case, I'll give you a chance. I have a treasure here that's called Five Thunder Pot. It's a treasure that the celestial heavens use to bring out disaster, and I have once used this treasure to find a strange technique. Inside the pot is five great thunderclouds and if they are released, they could cover the entire territory of Eternal Peace Empire. Ten thousand bolts of lightning would strike each inch of land. You shall cultivate using the five great thunderclouds in the pot, and with Eight Voices of Ancestral Dragon, you will be able to train your fats away. However, it will be very tough. If you are willing, you can follow me. If you aren't, then you can go to Fengdu, and I'll return you to Patriarch."
207
208The dragon qilin hesitated and asked timidly, "Cult Master, will the lightning strike be painful?"
209
210Qin Mu stared hard at him, and he was about to erupt in anger. The dragon qilin hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm willing!"
211
212Qin Mu calculated and said, "Breaking down the medicinal energy in the fats will still be a difficult thing with Eight Voices of Ancestral Dragon alone. Even with my help, it's also difficult to break them down in a short while. We need the help of others. Other than Sister Xiu, those who cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique would be Jiang Miao and the experts of the dragon village."
213
214Ling Yuxiu said excitedly, "Let me inform True God Pang Yu and let him invite them over."
215
216Qin Mu nodded and examined his surroundings. "We also need a vast space. There's an empty space in the center of Li City. We can do it there... Fatty Dragon, follow me!"
217
218The dragon qilin hurriedly followed him. He ran in small and quick steps, causing the buildings in Li City to collapse. Luckily, most of the people had already migrated to Eternal Peace, and there were no people left here except for the guards.
219
220When Qin Mu came to the center of the empty land, True God Pangyu had brought numerous soldiers over. He asked, "How much space does Cult Master Qin needs?"
221
222Qin Mu looked around and saw that the place was remarkably flat. The length and width were about three hundred yards each. He said, "This space is already big enough, but I'm afraid the power of Five Thunder Pot would be too powerful and threaten the outside world. It's best if there's a treasure that could cover the surroundings to prevent the heavenly lightning from leaking out."
223
224True God Pangyu smiled. "I have a treasure called Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover. It's made from water vapor, and this cloud dragon cover can absorb thunder. It will not let Five Thunder Pot threaten the outside world."
225
226He threw Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover into the sky and its clouds instantly spread across the sky of Li City. The clouds transformed into layers of mist to cover up the entire space like a hemisphere.
227
228There were nine layers of water vapor in the clouds, and they interlocked with one another.
229
230Qin Mu gave his thanks. At this moment, Qing Yan, Qing Ya, and the rest from the dragon village arrived. After they greeted Qin Mu, one of them asked, "What has brother invited us over for?"
231
232When Qin Mu explained the reason, they were shocked when they saw the dragon qilin. "This is also part of the dragon race? What an insult to our ancestors! Of course we need to help."
233
234Moments later, two youths that looked like twins came over, and they were Qin Yu and Jiang Miao. Qin Mu tried to identify the two of them for a moment, and he hesitated slightly. In the end, he didn't dare to confirm who was who.
235
236The cultivation of these two youths was very high. One of them had cultivated to Celestial Being Realm, and his primordial spirit was a green dragon that coiled behind him, spitting river water. The other one had cultivated to Seven Stars Realm, and his primordial spirit wasn't released.
237
238"Cult Master, I'm Jiang Miao," said the youth with a dragon coiling behind him in a helpless voice.
239
240The other youth, Qin Yu, also looked helpless. The moment he saw the dragon, he blinked his eyes. He had originally lent the little dragon to Qin Mu and never would he expect the little dragon to morph into this appearance. Furthermore, the little dragon's cultivation had improved rapidly and has now surpassed him by much.
241
242He had treated Jiang Miao as a strange beast he was raising, and now, both of their identities seemed to have flipped around. Luckily, Qin Mu had decided to turn them into sworn brothers of different races, so it was not too awkward.
243
244Qin Mu apologized and said, "Everyone, my Fatty Dragon has laziness engraved into his bones, and I have to trouble everyone to help him get rid of his fats. I am truly ashamed."
245
246Everyone smiled and said, "Cult Master is courteous. When we execute Eight Voices of Ancestral Dragon, we are also taking the chance to cultivate. We can also absorb some heavenly lightning, so this favors us as well. Time is ticking, so let's start now!"
247
248Qin Mu made the dragon qilin walk into Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover, and he placed the Five Thunder Pot in the center. Qing Yan, Qing Ya, Jiang Miao, and the rest revealed their true forms, transforming into divine dragons that were three hundred yards. They were coiling around the cover and dancing up and down.
249
250Qin Mu went into a corner and raised his head to look at them. With the nine layers of fog around him, he could only faintly see the divine dragons that were dancing outside.
251
252The dragon qilin stood at one side, fear evident on his face, while the Five Thunder Pot was on his other side.
253
254"Cult Master isn't coming out?" Jiang Yi asked.
255
256Qin Mu shook his head. "My Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique also needs to be tempered by the five great thunderclouds from Five Thunder Pot. Besides, I still have to watch Fatty Dragon.
257
258The dragon qilin's face turned ashen.
259
260Qin Mu slapped the Five Thunder Pot with one palm and shouted, "Fatty Dragon, execute Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique! Everyone, lend me a helping hand!"
261
262The dragon qilin hurriedly executed Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique, and Eight Voices of Ancestral Dragon came from his body. Numerous divine dragons outside roared and the dragon danced in the sky. The Eight Voices of Ancestral Dragon resonated with the sounds coming from Qin Mu and the dragon qilin, and these sounds were vibrating their primordial spirits and corporeal bodies.
263
264Suddenly, heavenly lightning rolled out from Five Thunder Pot, and in a split second, countless bolts of lightning of all colors struck down. In an area of three hundred yards by three hundred yards, the lightning was as concentrated as rain. Qin Mu and the dragon qilin instantly felt sharp needles piercing them from all directions!
265
266Qin Mu executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique, and a ray of light appeared behind his head. Dragon and buddha danced along with the rays, and it was because he had incorporated Sakra Scripture into his Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique.
267
268The dragon qilin gave off a long cry that was extraordinarily resounding.
269
270Qin Mu shouted, "Green dragon followed the wind and clouds. Control the lightning. This is your best method of cultivation! Fatty Dragon, if you want to cry, go back to Fengdu!"
271
272The dragon qilin gritted his teeth and struggled to execute Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique to withstand the heavenly lightning.
273
274Qin Mu's body suddenly shook. He revealed his three-headed and six-armed body, taking this chance to comprehend how to combine Creation Mysterious Scripture and Undying God Consciousness.
275
276'Crimson Light Son of God would definitely merge these two techniques and patch his own flaws. Now, we will have to see whose aptitude and comprehension are more superior and who will comprehend it first!'
277
278Outside the cover, everyone's hearts were pounding heavily from what they saw. They couldn't see anything inside Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover—only snow bright lightning could be seen!
279
280True Pang Yu was also slightly uneasy. 'If these bolts of lightning burst out, I'm afraid Li City would be half destroyed. I hope my cover can withstand this...'
281
282When he saw Qing Ya, Qing Yan, and the rest of the divine dragons swallowing the lightning and condensing them into their dragon beads, he finally became at ease.
283
284Suddenly, Ling Yuxiu rushed into the cover. She had also planned to borrow these bolts of lightning to cultivate. Densely-packed heavenly light filled her eyes, and she couldn't see Qin Mu and the dragon qilin at all.
285
286What she cultivated was also Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique, but her aptitude and comprehension were much better than Emperor Yanfeng. She was one of the founders of Six Direction Primordial Spirit, and she has her own comprehension. She had long changed this technique to suit herself, and she was walking further and further down on the path of battle spells.
287
288Ling Yuxiu defended against the lightning and her vital qi transformed into divine dragons that were dancing in the sky. She refined these bolts of lightning into her vital qi, but when she got closer to Five Thunder Pot, the density of the lightning strikes became more intense. Because of this, she didn't dare to thread recklessly.
289
290After ten days, Ling Yuxiu nudged forward step by step and got closer and closer to Five Thunder Pot.
291
292The lightning in the cover was still incomparably concentrated, and this made her unable to see her way clearly. She could only rely on her feelings to get closer to Five Thunder Pot.
293
294On this day, she saw a three-headed and six-armed primordial spirit standing upright in the lightning. It was breathing lightning in and out, and she couldn't help being astonished at this sight. This primordial spirit was over thirty yards tall, and it stood tall among the lightning. Whenever it breathed, a hundred bolts of lightning were absorbed into its body!
295
296Not only that, but there were also two large beads that were swirling around that primordial spirit.
297
298Ling Yuxiu walked forward and saw Qin Mu standing under that majestic-looking primordial spirit. He also had three heads and six arms. Behind him, a shadow of a huge beast could be seen faintly.
299
300That behemoth behind Qin Mu had a dragon head and a qilin body bathing in the lightning. The dragon scales on his body were polished and shimmering with a cold glint.

307
308Ling Yuxiu looked at the thirty yards tall primordial spirit behind Qin Mu, and her heart trembled slightly. "Celestial Being Realm?"
309
310She was the founder of Six Directions Primordial Spirit and had extremely high attainments in the primordial spirit. One could say that in the entire Eternal Peace, or even the whole universe, those who had primordial spirits that could match up to her was only Qin Mu.
311
312The attainments in Qin Mu's primordial spirit were slightly higher than hers, but hers was much higher as Qin Mu always liked to spend his cultivating time to do other stuff. He liked to fiddle around and change the techniques he had learned. Overall, his nature was hyperactive.
313
314Meanwhile, she was more pure and consistent, and she put her whole heart into changing and perfecting her own Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique. Therefore, her primordial spirit cultivation didn't lack behind Qin Mu.
315
316Even so, she also couldn't materialize her primordial spirit on Seven Stars Realm like how others could on Celestial Being Realm.
317
318That was because the primordial spirit on Celestial Being Realm had a world of difference with a primordial spirit on Seven Stars Realm. The primordial spirit on Celestial Being Realm could materialize outside the body and possess incomparable power. Even if Ling Yuxiu was one of the founding ancestors of Six Direction Realms, she couldn't achieve that step as well.
319
320Therefore, she could tell right away that the primordial spirit behind Qin Mu was a Celestial Being Primordial Spirit!
321
322It was evident that Qin Mu had taken the chance to have a breakthrough while refining himself in five great thunderclouds, raising himself straight up to Celestial Being Realm!
323
324Stepping into Celestial Being Realm at twenty years old was truly advancing by leaps and bounds. He had surpassed countless seniors.
325
326Ling Yuxiu moved forward with effort, walking a few steps closer. She could finally see the behemoth behind Qin Mu, and it was none other than the dragon qilin.
327
328After not seeing him for more than ten days, the dragon qilin had become much slimmer. To be precise, he had slimmed down in many places and looked awe-inspiring like he did when he was guarding the gate of Imperial College back then. It was just that his tummy was still very big—it must be because the lightning couldn't hit his tummy.
329
330Suddenly, the dragon qilin laid down and flipped over with his four limbs facing the sky. He opened his mouth and let the lightning struck his belly.
331
332'This is also possible? Is he refining away the fats on his belly?'
333
334Ling Yuxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She tried her best to walk forward while thunder and Eight Voices of Ancestral Dragon rang beside her ears. She couldn't hear what Qin Mu was trying to tell her.
335
336Qin Mu moved towards her ears and shouted, "Be careful!"
337
338"Be careful of what?" Ling Yuxiu shouted back.
339
340The heavenly lightning from Five Thunder Pot suddenly became intense, and the lightning strikes were even fiercer. Ling Yuxiu got charred on the outside and tender on the inside while the dragon qilin was also convulsing from the lightning strikes. However, with the dragon bead and the qilin beading swirling around them, the injuries on their bodies quickly healed.
341
342Ling Yuxiu endured the pain. She was beyond impressed as she thought to herself, 'Fatty Dragon's dragon bead still have this effect? Fatty Dragon's dragon saliva can recover wounds quickly, so his dragon bead probably has a similar effect. No wonder they could last this long in the center of the lightning strikes.'
343
344Nonetheless, she still didn't dare to project her primordial spirit out to face the lightning.
345
346Qin Mu had succeeded in a breakthrough and had become a divine arts practitioners on Celestial Being Realm. His primordial spirit was strong enough, so he dared to let his primordial spirit take on the lightning strikes. On the other hand, Ling Yuxiu still couldn't do that at the moment.
347
348Meanwhile, outside the cover, True God Pang Yu saw the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover suddenly swelling up. His heart couldn't help jumping, and he was worried that this cover would explode. He grumbled in his heart, 'Isn't Cult Master Qin a little too confident in my treasure? This Five Thunder Pot isn't any ordinary treasure, and if its power exploded out, even Supreme Emperor Heaven would be cultivated by the heavenly lightning like plowing the land!'
349
350Luckily, the Cloud Dragon Cover withstood its power, but looking at the current situation, it wouldn't last much longer. The power of Five Thunder Pot would eventually surpass the limits of the Cloud Dragon Shroud.
351
352Suddenly, a god approached him and said in a low voice, "True god, a few experts of the devil race had arrived. They said they are divine arts practitioners that want to challenge Supreme Emperor Heaven."
353
354True God Pangyu said with a smile, "Ever since Heavenly Teacher had made a Pact of Earth Count with Fu Riluo, both sides have been at peace for a couple of years. The devil race frequently come over to challenge, and there are also people from our side going over to challenge them, so it's nothing to be surprised about. The seniors do not need to interfere. Let the younger generation fight. I still have to guard Cult Master Qin over here and prevent him from damaging my treasure."
355
356There was no war during the past two years as Fu Riluo didn't go against the Pact of Earth Count. He restrained himself and didn't provoke any war. Both sides had their own fears, and even though there are no open fights, there were still fights hidden in plain sight. Those fights were between the disciples of humans and devils, and they were trying to slay the young forces of the opponent through a fair match.
357
358Gradually, the devils and the humans have more encounters, and some young experts of the devil race could occasionally be seen walking in human territory.
359
360The god hesitated for a moment and said, "The people that came this time are extraordinary. A lot of young experts have already been defeated, and there are also some that have been killed..."
361
362True God Pang Yu hurriedly said, "Are the ones that had come to challenge us the disciple of Luo Wushuang and Fu Riluo, Zhe Huali? Demon Knife Zhe Huali's cultivation is indeed very high!"
363
364"Not only Zhe Huali."
365
366"Could Qi Jiuyi be there too?" True God Pang Yu was shocked.
367
368The god replied, "Other than Zhe Huali and Qi Jiuyi, there are also a few more people. Qi Jiuyi calls them senior brother and senior sister, but they look like devils..."
369
370"Devil race?"
371
372True God Pang Yu said in surprise, "Qi Jiuyi belongs to the nine phoenix race and not the devil race. The disciples of Southern Heaven Red Deity cannot be from the devil race! Let me take a look!"
373
374He quickly flew up the city tower and looked outside. He indeed saw numerous disciples of the devil race. Zhe Huali and Qi Jiuyi were also among them. There was also an unfamiliar face.
375
376Other than these younger generations, he also saw Fu Riluo, Lu Li, and other devil gods. The faces of the devil gods were also unfamiliar, and they have never seen them before. Lu Li and the rest were chatting and laughing.
377
378Pang Yu was bewildered.
379
380At this moment, Yu He was currently fighting with another young expert of the devil race while numerous other young experts of Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace were watching them nervously. Ever since Qin Mu had constructed Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge to establish access between Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace, Yu He had learned the divine arts of Eternal Peace and her abilities had advanced by leaps and bounds.
381
382Pang Yu even felt Yu He could become another true god in the future!
383
384However, Yu He was surrounded by perils when facing that young expert of the devil race!
385
386'These aren't the paths, skills, and divine arts of the devil race!'
387
388True God Pang Yu's judgment was experienced, and he instantly realized that the person fighting with Yu He wasn't from Luofu Heaven. He knew every devil god from Luofu Heaven, and as long as any disciple of the devil race executed their divine arts, he would be able to tell whose disciple that was. In this case, the divine arts that the devil was executing were divine arts from Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace!
389
390"How long ago since these devils have come to challenge?"
391
392Pang Yu's expression changed drastically, and he asked the god behind him. "Why didn't you inform me sooner?"
393
394"They have already been here for six to seven days. At that time, I thought it was just a small matter, so..."
395
396True God Pang Yu took a deep breath and snarled, "Fu Riluo and Lu Li are both here, and you thought it's a small matter? These devils that have come to challenge us are not devils of Luofu Heaven. They are from the celestial heavens!" After saying this, he leaped down the city tower.
397
398"Celestial heavens?"
399
400The god had a blank look and muttered, "Why would the celestial heavens have devils?"
401
402"Northern Heaven Black Deity controls Mingdu, so there would naturally be disciples of the devil race! The other identity of that Qi Jiuyi is none other than the disciple of Northern Heaven Black Deity!"
403
404True God Pang Yu came to the battlefield and said with a loud voice, "Yu He, they are only using you to take a look at the advancement in divine arts. Admit defeat and come back!"
405
406Yu He hurriedly moved back and broke free from that disciple of the devil race. That devil in black had already secured the upper hand and clearly had the ability to kill her, but he didn't. He was taking the opportunity to observe the achievements of Eternal Peace's reform, and this gave her the chance to escape.
407
408Fu Riluo smiled. "Dao Friend Pang Yu, your city center is quite bustling, eh? Sounds of thunder and roars of dragons are ringing out endlessly. What are you doing that can't be seen by the devil race?"
409
410True God Pang Yu snorted and said indifferently, "Fu Riluo, you are becoming more and more capable. You even invited the disciples of Northern Heaven Black Deity over! Don't forget, you have already made the Pact of Earth Count with Heavenly Teacher, so if you break the promise, Earth Count will be coming to take your soul!"
411
412Fu Riluo yawned and said with a smile, "I have indeed made a Pact of Earth Count with Heavenly Teacher, so I will restrain the devils under my command. However, I had also told Heavenly Teacher before that it wasn't me that wants to wipe out Supreme Emperor Heaven. It's someone else that really wants to wipe you guys out."
413
414True God Pang Yu's heart felt a chill. His gaze landed on the devil gods that were on the other side. He bowed and asked, "Are all of you disciples of Mingdu Black Deity?"
415
416Those devil gods returned his greeting, and the one in the lead replied politely, "My name is Lou Yunqu. These two are my junior brothers, Kui Qingpei and Fu Yanqi. It's truly admirable that Senior Brother Pang Yu is able to defend against Respectable King Fu Riluo for twenty thousand years."
417
418The muscles on the corner of True God Pang Yu's eyes twitched violently twice. He asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you guys enter Supreme Emperor Heaven? Fu Riluo, did you kill your clansmen in cold blood again and use blood sacrifice to summon them over?"
419
420Fu Riluo shook his head and said insipidly, "I'm not involved in this."
421
422Lou Yunqu said warmly, "Senior Brother Pang Yu need not suspect Respectable King. Respectable King is worried about his position being taken away, so how could he have contacted us? Actually, we borrowed Southern Heaven Red Deity's ship, and since Sakra Buddha had rebelled in the Buddha Realm, Southern Heaven Red Deity had to come to the lower bound to arrest him. Since we were passing by Supreme Emperor Heaven, she had let us down the ship."
423
424Fu Riluo smiled discreetly, and his heart was obviously uncomfortable.
425
426Lu Li also seemed to be extremely afraid of Lou Yunqu and the rest. She seemed displeased, but she couldn't flare up. Fu Riluo was worried about his position being taken away and ended up giving everything he had worked for to the celestial heavens. Moreover, she had viewed Qin Mu's as hers to take, and now, Black Deity was coming to interfere, so this naturally made her unhappy.
427
428Lou Yunqu introduced that young expert of the devil race and said with a smile, "This is the disciple that my master has taken in, Lou Qianzhong. He is Junior Brother Qi Jiuyi's senior brother, and he had sought knowledge together with Qi Jiuyi in my master's palace. Master is very concerned about Great Ruins, and he isn't so much concerned about Supreme Emperor Heaven. After all, Great Ruins had become Great Ruins mainly because of master's seal. The reason we have come is to assist Respectable King Fu Riluo in annexing Supreme Emperor Heaven and sacrificing it. We will then enter Eternal Peace and rouse the god statues to wipe out Eternal Peace."
429
430He had a pleasant expression as though he was old friends with Pang Yu and what he was saying didn't seem to be a bloody event like destroying Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace. Instead, it was as though he was talking about the weather with Pang Yu. He then continued with, "There's another matter. Master said that he would like to meet Son of Youdu. This would be slightly harder to manage as Junior Brother Qi was supposed to handle this, but it's a pity that he didn't manage to seal Son of Youdu. Instead, he lost the mirror that was supposed to seize Son of Youdu."
431
432Qi Jiuyi's face turned slightly red. He didn't say anything.
433
434Lou Yunqu seemed to have a headache as he rubbed his temple. He sighed and said, "Master said Mingdu needs people like Son of Youdu, so the four of us had to come to the lower bound this time. We never expected Provincial Governor Lu Li to be here as well and having some intentions on Son of Youdu."
435
436Lu Li forced out a smile. "Senior Brother Lou is joking. How could I have any intentions? Why would I dare to fight against the strongest Underworld Emperor of Northern Heaven?"
437
438"That's true as well."
439
440Lou Yunqu said with a smile, "Master still has some selfish motives for making us come down, and that was to see how the lower bound has evolved. He wanted us to take down some notes and bring them back to him for a look. So, we were thinking, even though the reform still isn't complete, it still changed the great Dao of heaven and earth after all. Recording and arranging them would be very troublesome. I've heard about Emperor Yanfeng and Imperial Preceptor of Eternal Peace. They are the heads of the reform, so I thought of a simpler method. I just need to take down these two people and bring them to master, and that would simplify things. Senior Brother Pang Yu, could you invite these two people over? Could you also tie them up and give them to us?"
441
442True God Pang Yu laughed loudly, but there was no smile on his face. His laugh was very dry, very fake, and very stiff. He said coldly, "You want to seize Imperial Preceptor and Emperor Yanfeng? Why don't you do it yourself?"
443
444Lou Yunqu's face was full of smiles. "That's fine with me. But before that, let us first wipe out Supreme Emperor Heaven. Will the gods and divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven take your own lives now or should I tie a knot for all of you?"

449
450
451
452True God Pang Yu held back his anger and said, "In that case, I will have Senior Brother Lou tie the knots then."
453
454Lou Yunqu smirked. "All good, all good. But before that, I'd still like to see Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace's advancements in the paths, skills, and divine arts. Junior Brother Qianzhong has been challenging here for six days already and has already killed numerous young experts. May I ask if there is any outstanding talent here in Supreme Emperor Heaven?"
455
456Lou Qianzhong said indifferently, "I used the paths, skills, and divine arts of Northern Heaven's Mingdu, but this past couple of days, I've been using the divine arts that I've learned from the divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven."
457
458True God Pang Yu's heart trembled. He looked at this young devil and recalled his battle against Yu He earlier. He had indeed used the divine arts of Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace. He didn't use the divine arts he was proficient in.
459
460In just four days, he had mastered Supreme Emperor Heaven's divine arts and used them to kill their young experts?
461
462Isn't this aptitude a little too high and too terrifying?
463
464What was even more shocking was that among the people he had defeated, Pang Yu's disciple, Yu He, was also included!
465
466Before Qin Mu showed up in Supreme Emperor Heaven, Yu He had always been the number one divine arts practitioners on Seven Stars Realm. Shu Yao would occasionally surpass her, but that was rare.
467
468After Qin Mu came to Supreme Emperor Heaven and the first place holders shifted, when most of the young talents ran to Eternal Peace, it's hard to say if Yu He could even maintain her second spot, but her abilities were nothing to be underestimated. She was definitely one of the most top-notch divine arts practitioners!
469
470This Lou Qianzhong had just used the divine arts of Supreme Emperor Heaven to attack Yu He, and this was something that was nearly impossible. Nonetheless, he had done it, and that meant that the foundation of this person was exceptionally sturdy, giving others a feeling that his divine art had entered the path!
471
472For people who had entered the path with divine arts, they would understand the reason and structure of any divine art with just a single look.
473
474The first time he had met such a heaven-defying person was Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. His understanding of all kinds of divine arts, paths, and skills were close to the path, and his talent was unmatched in his generation.
475
476The second time True God Pang Yu had met such a person was Xu Shenghua, who had walked out of God Suppression Pagoda. His light was burning brightly, looking magnificent beyond compare.
477
478Other than these two people, Pang Yu had not seen this kind of person anymore.
479
480Even Cult Master Qin, who was famous throughout the world and managed the number one cult in both Eternal Peace and Supreme Emperor Heaven, didn't have this kind of talent and wasn't that magnificent. He was skilled in many things—his knife skills, sword skills, and medicinal expertise were outstanding. However, his divine arts hadn't reached that kind of standard yet.
481
482Qin Mu's technique and sword skill had entered the path. He was strong in every field, but he wasn't number one. True God Pang Yu even felt that if Qin Mu were to spend lesser time on everything, his success might not just be what it was today.
483
484Despite these, Qin Mu's abilities were becoming stronger and stronger because he had dabbled in everything. Even Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor and Xu Shenghua couldn't surpass his light at all, and instead, they were overshadowed by him.
485
486'How can we defeat a person who has entered the path with divine arts? On top of that, this person is the disciple of a strong practitioner on Emperor's Thone from Northern Heaven Mingdu...'
487
488True God Pang Yu was still worrying over this when he noticed numerous young divine arts practitioners hurrying over. A lot of them had heard that the devils were coming to challenge, so they decided to show up and take the challenge. Among them was a man who looked like a jade tree in the wind. He was holding the hand of a girl beside him while carrying a piece of small baggage on his back.
489
490Pang Yu's eyes lighted up as he said, "Young Master Xu."
491
492Xu Shenghua revealed a smile. His smile had a hint of coldness that pushed people away from him. "True God."
493
494Pang Yu's gaze flickered. "Young Master Xu is a leader of Eternal Peace. Do you have any confidence in countering the enemy?"
495
496Xu Shenghua's gaze fell on Lou Qianzhong on the opposite side. After a moment, his gaze swept over Zhe Huali and Qi Jiuyi. He said, "I'm not very confident. The level of their technique is too high. Their technique has the ability to let someone comprehend the Dao, and the technique I'm cultivating is just starting out. I can't be on par with the techniques their ancestors had passed down to them. Therefore, my chances of victory aren't high."
497
498True God Pang Yu knitted his brows. This youth was utterly different from Qin Mu, and the way he analyzed himself and his enemy were on an otherworldly level. It was as if he wasn't the person involved.
499
500He was too other otherworldly, and because of this, it gave others an uncomfortable feeling.
501
502Wang Muran's eyes lighted up, and he said, "You think you can't match up to him? If I defeat him, are you going to admit that you are inferior to me?"
503
504Xu Shenghua said, "I used twenty-three moves when I defeated you in Little Jade Capital, and I used five moves when I defeated Dao Master Lin Xuan. Therefore, Dao Master Lin Xuan is stronger than you. If you can endure five moves from this Lou Qianzhong, I will fight him."
505
506Wang Muran was furious and Dao Master Lin Xuan, who was not far away, also frowned.
507
508Even though Xu Shenghua had praised him, this kind of praise was simply uncomfortable.
509
510'Xu Shenghua has interacted too long with Cult Master Qin, and he has now influenced him. When Cult Master Qin is being humble, his words can also be so hurtful,' Dao Master Lin Xuan thought to himself.
511
512Wang Muran sneered. "I heard Cult Master Qin said that he didn't even need to use one more move. He had already made you cough up blood just by walking.'
513
514Xu Shenghua said with a sigh, "The stronger the opponent is, the lesser moves I will use. The outcome of my battle with Cult Master Qin has already been decided without even a move. He is indeed strong, and he is the most terrifying opponent I have ever met. Recently, I have advanced a lot, and I would like to meet him again to see who is alpha and beta. It's just hard to find him."
515
516Wang Muran was speechless from anger. He rushed out instead and said, "Lou Qianzhong, do you dare to fight me?"
517
518Lou Qianzhong looked at him. "Say your name."
519
520"I'll say it after we're done!"
521
522Wang Muran's cultivation had advanced at a godly speed during this period. When the paths, skills, and divine arts of Eternal Peace merged with the cultivation system of Supreme Emperor Heaven, this allowed people with outstanding talent to improve even more, and Wang Muran was one of the top-notch ones among these talents!
523
524In addition to how Eternal Peace was very advanced in paths, skills and divine arts, all of the schools and academies had basically been able to learn all of the techniques and divine arts in Eternal Peace. Even the paths, skills, and divine arts of Supreme Emperor Heaven had been refined and polished, and the experts of Supreme Emperor Heaven were especially there to teach and explain.
525
526Wang Muran had spent all his time and spirit during these two years to combine and comprehend all of the complicated techniques in Little Jade Capital. He had a huge advancement, and whenever he made his move, his body movement was as fast as lightning and his divine arts were rapid like rolling thunder. Every single move of his has an unbelievably strong power!
527
528Lou Qianzhong used what he had learned these few days to block four moves, but he couldn't gain the upper hand. He frowned slightly, and his divine arts suddenly changed, becoming extraordinarily strange as he stretched his hands out to smack repeatedly at him.
529
530When he struck out with his first palm, Wang Muran's primordial spirit was smacked out of his body, but Wang Muran was able to pull it back into his body by force.
531
532When he struck out his second palm, Wang Muran's primordial spirit had vibrated out of his body, and this time, the distance was even further!
533
534Lou Qianzhong stretched his hand to form a stroke, and a pitch black crack suddenly appeared behind Wang Muran. Just as his primordial spirit was about to fall into the crack, Wang Muran shouted, and his body moved back rapidly to collide with his primordial spirit. His corporeal body and primordial spirit then merged into one, and he flipped backward as he soared into the sky, avoiding the crack flawlessly. He landed beside True God Pang Yu with a bewildered face.
535
536Lou Qianzhong didn't chase after him, and he even gave a compliment. "Your abilities aren't bad. You're the first one to force me to use my true technique and divine arts."
537
538Wang Muran calmed his pounding heart. He said to Xu Shenghua, "That's five moves! It's your turn!"
539
540Xu Shenghua's gaze flickered. He moved past the crowd and walked towards Lou Qianzhong and said, "If I go up, I might just need one or two moves. It's either I win, or I lose."
541
542Suddenly, his footsteps became extremely heavy, and the ground below his feet would tremble continuously each time his step landed down. Lotus flowers would appear and gradually bloom, and their pistils swayed gently as they burst forth with all kinds of runes.
543
544He walked forward while scattering the lotus flowers behind him. More and more footsteps landed down, and more and more lotuses appeared behind him.
545
546After walking over a dozen steps, the surroundings had already turned into a lotus world. The runes bursting forth from the flower pistils arranged themselves, forming a void surrounded by these runes. Inside the void was a world that contained the fragrance of flowers.
547
548Lou Qianzhong's face became grim. Xu Shenghua's divine arts had already formed a system and the void world behind him contained divine arts that were transforming continuously. This made him unable to see what move Xu Shenghua was trying to execute.
549
550This was because the void world was constructed with the most basic runes, and different arrangements of the basic runes would result in different divine arts. Therefore, it was impossible for Lou Qianzhong to see what divine art he was trying to execute in his void world!
551
552"He's executing a great divine art right away!"
553
554Dao Master revealed a look of amazement and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Xu's attainments in divine arts have already surpassed both of us!
555
556Wang Muran snorted. "If I were to comprehend and fuse all of the techniques in Little Jade Capital, I won't be any inferior to him."
557
558Dao Master Lin Xuan couldn't resist saying, "Maybe you should consult Cult Master Qin. Cult Master Qin is known as the King of Junk in the dark. He cultivates his technique, sews his technique, and patches it here and there. After changing it, he can cultivate for three years and then he will patch it again and cultivate for another three years. I've heard he had constructed a model of a human body technique, so it should suit you very well."
559
560Right at this moment, Xu Shenghua's divine art burst forth. It was strikingly radiant and dazzling in that instant. The void world behind him poured out, and the lotus flowers swayed gently in the wind as the runes changed rapidly!
561
562Lou Qianzhong stepped back, and vast darkness suddenly appeared behind him as though darkness had descended on Great Ruins. The darkness had just drowned him out!
563
564Xu Shenghua's heart was shocked as he could no longer find Lou Qianzhong's figure where the darkness had shrouded.
565
566That darkness was like another layer of space that was eroding his vital qi, divine arts, and corporeal body. It was seeping into his body and tainting his primordial spirit. His divine arts struck into the darkness and the power released was unrestrained and reckless. However, it was soon absorbed by the darkness.
567
568Xu Shenghua moved back, and as he stepped back, he smacked a palm behind him. His five fingers trembled and instead, images of palms and fingers filled the sky behind him. The palm markings were like mountains and flowing river, while the heart of the palm was like the sky and the land, and the images on the fingers were mountain peaks!
569
570Lou Qianzhong suddenly appeared behind him. He seemed to be formed by black colored sand in the darkness, and he passed through Xu Shenghua's divine arts and smacked him in the back behind his heart.
571
572Xu Shenghua grunted and fell forward. A gate opened up in the darkness and revealed a dark space. In the space, there was a monster that was waiting at the gate, and it poked at Xu Shenghua with a military fork.
573
574Xu Shenghua put his palms together, and the void world suddenly closed. All of a sudden, a heavenly deluge of petals flew around and drowned him out.
575
576When the military fork stabbed out from the gate and into the empty world, it missed its mark as a petal landed on the fork. Xu Shenghua had disappeared along with the void world.
577
578"Eh!"
579
580A voice cried out loud, "It's another pseudo overlord body!"
581
582Lou Qianzhong returned to his stance, and the darkness immediately retreated. He frowned slightly and looked towards the source of that sound.
583
584At the same time, Xu Shenghua's body suddenly appeared as though he had walked out from the depths of space. His complexion was slightly pale, and he also looked towards the source of the voice.
585
586The gates of Li City opened up, and they saw Qin Mu riding a formidable-looking dragon qilin with a pleased look on his face. He was about to gallop and test his dragon qilin's speed when he shouted, "Pi, giddy-up!"
587
588The dragon qilin replied unpleasantly, "Cult Master, I'm a dragon qilin, not a horse. Also, don't call me by my real name. Be careful of that Pangong Tso. He might hear it and use it to assassinate me."
589
590The gait of the dragon qilin was extremely fast and his feet left behind a trail of fire. Before his voice could even travel over, he had already carried Qin Mu to Pang Yu's side and stopped steadily in his tracks.
591
592Only then did his voice reached everyone's ears.
593
594Qin Mu grinned. "My efforts these few days aren't wasted. Senior Brother Xu, Dao Master, Senior Brother Wang, you are all here! Look, isn't my Fatty Dragon awe-inspiring and breathtaking?"
595
596Wang Muran pouted and didn't say anything. The big deer beside him scoffed, "Yes, how awe-inspiring and breathtaking. If he can maintain this body shape for three days, I'll pluck down my horns and stuff them up my nostrils. You—"
597
598The dragon qilin stared hard at him with an angry gaze.
599
600Qin Mu didn't mind his words as his gaze landed on Lou Qianzhong. He said gravely, "Village Chief sure is brilliant. He's right. Once I, the overlord body appears, all kinds of pseudo overlord bodies would come out to steal my destiny and become the true overlord body. Brother Xu, I'm not saying it's you, so don't take my words to heart... Brother Wang, shut up. You aren't the overlord body. You aren't even a pseudo overlord body..."
601
602Lou Yunqu, Kui Qingpei, and the rest looked very hard at Qin Mu before asking in a hushed voice, "Respectable King, who is this arrogant youth who is riding some unknown creature?"
603
604Fu Riluo smirked and said, "Doesn't Mingdu have Life and Death Book? Would Brother Lou know once you shine the book at him?"

610
611
612Lou Yunqu hesitated and said with a smile, "Oh well. I shall let everyone experience it for yourself." After saying this, he took out a scroll and gently unraveled it to reveal a thin piece of paper which gave off a metal glint.
613
614Lou Yunqu shone this piece of paper at Qin Mu. His excitement couldn't be contained as his body trembled slightly.
615
616"I have traveled far and wide searching for him, only to find him so easily here. So, he's Qin Fengqing!"
617
618Lou Yunqu was overjoyed and said with a smile, "This is quite an unexpected harvest. Respectable King, you must have been admiring the Life and Death Book of the celestial heavens for quite a long time, right? I rarely take it out, so here you are. You can admire it."
619
620Fu Riluo was moved. He hurriedly received it with both hands and examined it in detail.
621
622He had been coveting Life and Death Book for a long time. It was a treasure of the celestial heavens and Youdu. To be specific, the Life and Death Book of the celestial heavens was imitating Youdu. Even though the Life and Death Book of Youdu didn't have many functions, the Life of Death Book has numerous functions that were very powerful!
623
624The Life and Death Books of the celestial heavens were made by Black Deity. The techniques and divine arts of Mingdu had come from Youdu, and yet, Mingdu had surpassed Youdu.
625
626Fu Riluo used Life and Death Book to shine around everyone, and no matter who got shone upon, the figure of that person would appear on the paper with their corresponding name!
627
628"Truly a wonderful treasure!"
629
630Fu Riluo was full of praises. "The celestial heavens uses this treasure to control the life and death of a person. I've once heard of a devil god called Shaman God Kui. His abilities aren't high, but he had used Life and Death Book to wipe out numerous gods of Founding Emperor Era."
631
632Lou Yunqu took this Life and Death Book and said leisurely, "The power of Life and Death Book far surpasses your imagination. Mingdu makes Life and Death Books, and one of them landing in the hands of Shaman God Kui is akin to casting pearls before the swine. Even my Mingdu doesn't have much of this kind of treasure. Swallowing Supreme Emperor Heaven will have to rely on the effect of this Life and Death Book—"
633
634Just as he was explaining, he suddenly noticed Qin Mu, who was riding an unknown creature, taking out a treasured scroll and unrolling it to shine at them.
635
636The smile on Lou Yunqu's face froze as his gaze landed on the thing in Qin Mu's hands. That scroll was indeed Life and Death Book! He couldn't be wrong!
637
638"Lou Yunqu, Kui Qingpei, Fu Yanqi, Lou Qianzhong..." Qin Mu read out their names one by one.
639
640Lou Yunqu and the rest of the gods from Mingdu were shaken. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. There were so few Life and Death Books, so how did Qin Mu have one?
641
642When did the Life and Death Book of the celestial heavens become like cabbages on the roadside? Could it be that anyone he met has a Life and Death Book? Could the people of Supreme Emperor Heaven have one of them?
643
644Lu Li smiled smugly and didn't tell them the truth. She thought to herself, 'His Life and Death Book is from Shaman God Kui. I got his name from Jue Huang with difficulty, and you guys dare to steal my credit? Serves you right.'
645
646Lou Yunqu originally planned to use Life and Death Book to deal with the gods and divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven. However, after seeing Qin Mu taking out a Life and Death Book, he was now having second thoughts.
647
648Qin Mu kept his Life and Death Book and asked Lou Qianzhong, "You are here to kill me?"
649
650Lou Qianzhong was slightly puzzled as he looked at him. Lou Yunqu said softly, "Junior brother, he is Qin Fengqing."
651
652Lou Qianzhong smirked. "I'm here to seize you. I'm not interested in killing you."
653
654"It's indeed the indescribable functional activities of qi that tangle us up together. Wait here for a moment!"
655
656After saying this statement, Qin Mu rode the dragon qilin back into Li City, leaving a trail of fire. His speed was so fast that everyone was dumbfounded. Wang Muran saw a huge deer beside him and asked softly, "Can you run that fast?"
657
658The big deer was also shocked. He shook his head and replied, "I can't. However, his endurance can't make it. Besides, he's greedy, so he will definitely gorge himself on a lot of food and become a pig once again. I'll run faster and further than him in no time."
659
660While he was saying this, the dragon qilin had already rushed out from Li City, and there was now an elder with no limbs on his back.
661
662Qin Mu pointed at Lou Qianzhong and said, "Village Chief, this is the overlord body from Mingdu. You're right. There's indeed a pseudo overlord body that has come to find me. When he was fighting with Pseudo Overlord Body Xu Shenghua, he almost killed Xu Shenghua. The divine art he had used was similar to Gate of Heaven Influence, but it's also different. That's why I think he's a pseudo overlord body."
663
664The elder without four limbs looked at Lou Qianzhong and said calmly, "Why would I lie to you? But you must be careful. There will be more and more pseudo overlord bodies from now on. The qi activities between pseudo overlord bodies would be linked, and they wouldn't know that the others are also pseudo overlord bodies. However, he would seize the opponent's destiny to strengthen themselves. If Xu Shenghua got killed by him, this Lou Qianzhong would receive Xu Shenghua's destiny, and his abilities would greatly increase. You would be in danger by then."
665
666That elder had quite the confidence—those weren't empty words. "If you can kill him, you can also strengthen your destiny as the overlord body."
667
668Qin Mu took out a tiny booklet and wrote these words down. He said with a smile, "No matter how much the pseudo overlord bodies fight each other for destiny, they can never be a true overlord body. They are inferior to me." After saying this, he turned back and returned again to Li City with a trail of fire behind him, sending that elder back into the city.
669
670Lou Qianzhong and the rest felt the absurdity of the situation. He thought to himself, 'The divine art I used to defeat Xu Shenghua was clearly Dark Gate of Mingdu, so how is it Gate of Heaven Influence? Also, how does cultivating Dark Gate of Mingdu become the evidence for differentiating between an overlord body and a pseudo overlord body? This is clearly a divine art from my Mingdu! What's more, how do I not know what an overlord body is? What's the matter with qi activity guiding everyone together?'
671
672Suddenly, the dragon qilin sprinted back with Qin Mu once again. He was truly as fast as lightning as he went back and forth, making everyone envious. 'Isn't this strange beast too fast?'
673
674Qin Mu was about to say something when a heart-gripping aura came from the sky. Most of the gods raised their heads to look and saw a huge star floating past the sky of Supreme Emperor Heaven.
675
676The star wasn't too far from the land of Supreme Emperor Heaven, and it looked four to five times larger than the moon. Its speed was also very fast.
677
678Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly. 'That's the abnormal star of God Chi Xi! It has barged into Supreme Emperor Heaven from Luofu Heaven! In that case, the people that have moved from the floating world have all arrived!'
679
680The barrier between Luofu Heaven and Supreme Emperor Heaven was thin and fragile, and this abnormal star had just broken through the world barrier, leaving huge pieces of shattered space that were like glazed glass. When sunlight reflected off of them, they radiated multicolored rays that were mesmerizing.
681
682The abnormal star was also increasing its speed, and it was evident that it was about to crash through the world barrier of Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace, descending directly into the sky of the latter!
683
684In the sky, on the abnormal star, gods with three heads and six arms flew out. There were a thousand and more of them that flew in front of the abnormal star, smashing forward with divine arts!
685
686In an instant, the sky above Supreme Emperor Heaven was shattered by these thousand gods with brute force.
687
688The huge star was now gradually entering the space and traveling into Eternal Peace!
689
690As the sky squeezed and shattered into pieces by the gravity of this star, a thick beam of light suddenly burst forth from Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, beaming straight into the sky!
691
692The light was very intense. Once it hit the sky, it burst forth and formed cloud-shaped objects that spread out in all directions. The flowing light in the sky slowly descended like white ink in water.
693
694From one's gaze, the speed of the light descending might be languid, but it was actually extremely fast!
695
696That was spirit energy.
697
698Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was used to establish an energy passageway between Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace, and when the star squeezed into the world of Eternal Peace, a portion of Eternal Peace's energy had shifted over through the bridge, preserving the energy balance.
699
700The star that was migrating over this time had several thousand gods and several million people. Therefore, the energy shifting over was extremely violent and was about to surpass the limits of the mutual shift bridge!
701
702Meanwhile, in Li City, the vibrations coming from the mutual shift bridge caused the ground to shake violently.
703
704When he saw all this, Qin Mu's expression changed slightly. Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was forged by him and Senior Tiger, so he knew the limits of the bridge very well. If the gods of the floating world all migrated at the same time, it would definitely surpass the threshold. In that case, the mutual shift bridge would definitely explode!
705
706If the mutual shift bridge were to explode, then Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Passageway would close down! The star would then be sliced into two by the closing world barrier—one half would remain in Supreme Emperor Heaven while the other half would remain in Eternal Peace!
707
708Not only that, but the people on the abnormal star would most probably die and only a few would be able to survive!
709
710"These floating world guys are too barbaric!"
711
712Qin Mu hurriedly slapped the dragon qilin, and they immediately soared into the sky with flames under his feet. His voice rang out from above as he said, "Lou Qianzhong, we will fight another day!"
713
714"You want to escape from me?"
715
716Lou Qianzhong's eyes lighted up, and countless black feathers appeared around his body, turning him into a black winged garuda. With a bird beak and a human face, he wore a pointed garuda crown. When he spread his wings, they could cover an area of several miles, and they swept winds in all directions whenever he flapped!
717
718Lou Qianzhong skyrocketed upwards. As his wings flapped, black wind filled the sky as he rushed towards the dragon qilin.
719
720His speed was actually slightly faster than the dragon qilin!
721
722After the two of them flew out, Qi Jiuyi, Zhe Huali, Xu Shenghua, Dao Master Lin Xuan, and the rest chased after them. Their speed varied.
723
724The fastest one was Qi Jiuyi. His body transformed into a nine-headed phoenix, and he flapped his wings away. He was even quicker than Lou Qianzhong!
725
726The next was Xu Shenghua who brought out a lotus with each step. His figure appeared and disappeared. His footsteps weren't fast, but whenever he stepped on a lotus flower, he would vanish and reappear a distance away where another lotus flower bloomed.
727
728Among all of them, Zhe Huali's speed was the slowest. Every step he took was exactly the same and this restricted his speed instead.
729
730True God Pang Yu was worried about everyone's safety, so he rose into the sky. He was about to follow them when a qi activity held him back. True God Pang Yu's body froze. He landed down from midair, not daring to turn around.
731
732Right at this moment, he saw a depressed man walking towards him, and True God Pang Yu instantly felt that the qi activity that held him back was gradually subsiding. He knew that this man was the one who had helped him earlier and this made him at ease.
733
734Lou Yunqu slightly frowned as he looked at Life and Death Book. His eyes suddenly lighted up and he smiled. "So, it's Prince Qin Wu of Jade Brightness Palace. How interesting."
735
736"Jade Brightness Palace's Prince Qin Wu!"
737
738True God Pang Yu's heart trembled. He looked at First Ancestor while crying out, "You are still alive?"
739
740First Ancestor's face dimmed. The reason why he had never met with Pang Yu was because he didn't want to see the gods of Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens. He had always carried a pang of guilt in his heart. However, he had no choice but to reveal himself now—his identity couldn't be kept a secret anymore.
741
742Lou Yunqu's gaze flickered, and he said with a smile, "It's good for these younger generations to fight among themselves. Would Prince Qin Wu like to take a look at this unforeseen event?"
743
744First Ancestor said dryly, "Alright." After saying so, he turned and walked towards Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge.
745
746The moment he took a step, a thousand miles of land suddenly shrunk and warped towards them. True God Pang Yu and the rest didn't move, and they were suddenly a thousand miles away. Confusion was evident on their faces.
747
748First Ancestor's step brought him precisely where Qin Mu had ridden the dragon qilin to. In the sky, Lou Qianzhong flapped his wings and flew above the dragon qilin. With his sharp claws grasping downwards, he grabbed at Qin Mu and the dragon qilin.
749
750His claws were lethally sharp, and they were covered with strange scales that were gleaming with black light. The veins in the center of the scales appeared strange as though they were blinking eyes.
751
752Lou Yunqu, Fu Riluo, Lu Li, and the rest followed First Ancestor, and they raised their heads to look. Qin Mu's furious voice rang out, "I said we will fight another day! I have something important to deal with, so I don't have the time to fight with you!"
753
754Boom.
755
756A loud explosion came from midair, and Lou Qianzhong bounced up. Those claws weren't effective as Qin Mu was able to block them, but the dragon qilin was struck down from the air, reducing his speed drastically.
757
758"Son of Youdu, forget about escaping!"
759
760Lou Qianzhong pounced over once more, and Qin Mu blocked him again, forcing him back. Again, the dragon qilin was pushed down, and his speed was reduced even more.
761
762Lou Qianzhong did it once again with a delighted face. "Are you a coward? You don't dare to face me at all? A Son of God was actually forced by me to escape to Eternal Peace!"
763
764Qin Mu suddenly got down from the dragon qilin, and he said solemnly, "Fatty Dragon, go ahead and stabilize the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. Brother Xu, you guys also head over to the bridge and help me stabilize the runes on the altar first."
765
766The dragon qilin followed his order and rushed towards the mutual shift bridge. Xu Shenghua didn't stop and just followed after the dragon qilin. "Brother Qin, be careful. This person's abilities aren't weak, and his divine arts are even stranger. I have never seen this kind of divine arts before. His darkness divine arts are similar to the darkness in Great Ruins."
767
768"Similar to the darkness of Great Ruins?" Qin Mu's heart trembled slightly as he revealed a look of disbelief.
769
770Lou Qianzhong folded his wings and transformed back into a human form. He said with a smirk, "The darkness of Great Ruins is set up by my master Black Deity of Mingdu after all."
771
772Qin Mu nodded and said in a detached voice, "Execute a divine art of Mingdu and show me."
773
774Lou Qianzhong granted his request as darkness poured out around him. It was extremely intense. It instantly covered over dozens of miles, and his body seemed to be located in another world away from Supreme Emperor Heaven. Without any warning, the black figure whooshed and rushed at Qin Mu!
775
776Qin Mu's face remained indifferent as he stared at the figure pouncing at him in the darkness. Lou Qianzhong seemed to be located in another space that could avoid all the divine art attacks from the mortal world!
777
778At the same time, a door suddenly appeared behind Qin Mu, and there seemed to be a monster that was roaring without a sound. Its thick hands grabbed a military fork and swung back to accumulate strength before stabbing at Qin Mu who was just outside the gate!
779
780"I see."
781
782Two heads suddenly appeared on Qin Mu's neck followed by four arms popping out under his armpits. His sword pellet rang and separated into three.
783
784"The so-called Mingdu should be the same as Fengdu, so it's all a part of Youdu. Your divine art..."
785
786Qin Mu took down the willow leaf on the heart of his brows, and it also separated into three like his three heads. They stuck onto the heart of his brows and continued to seal it.
787
788He raised his three arms. All of his index fingers were stuck beside his middle fingers as they tapped on the eyes in front of the heart of his brows before stabbing!
789
790"Has been seen through by me."
791
792Chapter 667: Mingdu's Life and Death Book
793
794Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Zhai Zhu
795
796
797
798In the sky, darkness shrouded dozens of miles, and a figure could faintly be seen moving inside. Suddenly, three trails of sword light pierced through the darkness and shot off in different directions!
799
800The three trails of sword light lit up the darkness and gave everyone sight in the darkness.
801
802Dao Master Lin Xuan, Wang Muran and the rest had just arrived while Qi Jiuyi had already reached the darkness a step ahead of them. As for Zhe Huali, he was still rushing over.
803
804Everyone raised their heads to take a look. Under the shine of the sword light, the darkness was like a hazy veil. There seemed to be countless fine black spots floating in the air.
805
806In the illuminated darkness, Lou Qianzhong faced the sword light and rushed at Qin Mu, only to get pierced through the chest!
807
808When Xu Shenghua and Lou Qianzhong fought, both of them had similarly used great divine arts. Even though his void world was incomparably breathtaking, Lou Qianzhong could just pass through his great divine arts. Any divine arts from Xu Shenghua couldn't even touch him, and Xu Shenghua got injured instead.
809
810Lou Qianzhong seemed to be able to pass through all skills and not be hurt.
811
812Yet the sword light pierced through Lou Qianzhong and caused blood to splatter out from the back of his heart.
813
814Lou Qianzhong couldn't help being stunned. Another sword light slashed towards his head.
815
816And at that moment, everyone looked behind Qin Mu. Qin Mu's third sword defended against the military fork, but since the fork had three prongs, it only managed to shatter the middle prong. The other two prongs stabbed into Qin Mu's body. The fork was then pulled back forcefully, dragging Qin Mu into the Dark Gate of Mingdu!
817
818"Crap!" Everyone had a drastic change in expression.
819
820When Qin Mu got pulled into the gate of darkness, the incomparably strong looking devil god revealed a terrifying, wicked smile.
821
822Suddenly, a sword light appeared from the sky, and just as the second sword light had severed Lou Qianzhong's head, that sword light also severed the devil god's head. Surprisingly, the two incidents happened in the same instance.
823
824Lin Xuan, Qi Jiuyi and the rest didn't expect such a change. The devil god behind the gate appeared incomparably powerful, but it had its head severed by Qin Mu!
825
826What puzzled them even more, was that Qin Mu had clearly only executed three moves of Opening Calamity. Where did the fourth sword that severed the head of the devil god come from?
827
828At the same time, the chest of that devil god exploded open, revealing a bloody hole. Another sword light pierced through the back of the devil god sending blood out the front.
829
830The gate slowly closed and nobody could see the situation inside the gate. It drove them crazy, leaving them with even more questions.
831
832Before they could get an answer for the fourth sword light, a fifth sword light had suddenly appeared. What was the logic behind it?
833
834Suddenly, a pitch-black gate appeared to be standing tall in the darkness. It was Qin Mu's Gate of Heaven Influence.
835
836The gate opened, and Qin Mu walked out, leaving Mingdu with a head in his hand.
837
838Behind him, the darkness gradually dispersed and revealed Lou Qianzhong's body. The head on this body had disappeared!
839
840No one had seen when Lou Qianzhong's head had fallen off. Qin Mu's three swords were Opening Calamity Sword Skill. The first move had severely injured Lou Qianzhong, the second move severed his head, and the third move was to defend against the attack from Mingdu. When he unleashed those three moves in the same instance, no one managed to see Lou Qianzhong's head fall from the sky.
841
842Yet, now Lou Qianzhong's head had clearly vanished.
843
844"The devil god in Gate of Heaven Influence is your original body. It isn't a true devil god, and only looks powerful."
845
846Qin Mu took out a bottle of dragon saliva and poured it on his wound. He said to the head in his hands insipidly, "You hid in Mingdu to attack me from Mingdu. To the people of Supreme Emperor Heaven, you are like a shadow that couldn't be touched. That is was why you defeated Xu Shenghua, because he doesn't understand the Great Ruins in detail, and he doesn't know much about the spells of Youdu. Your abilities are even inferior to Qi Jiuyi, and you are just relying on the marvel of Mingdu's divine art. However, a person like me who was born in Youdu and raised in the Great Ruins, knows many ways for you to die."
847
848The head was the head of the devil god, but at that moment, it was gradually transforming. The malicious bone spikes shrank back into it, and even the messy hair gradually returned to normal.
849
850His appearance changed back into Lou Qianzhong's appearance, and his eyes were still wide open. They were staring at Qin Mu as if he could hear what he was saying.
851
852Qin Mu threw Lou Qianzhong's head down, and the headless corpse also fell from the sky.
853
854"However, I'm in a rush for time, so I chose the simplest way."
855
856Qin Mu said with a calm expression, "I might look as if I'm attacking you, but my attacks had already entered Mingdu to attack your true body. I severed your arteries and the veins of your heart with my first sword, destroying your qi and blood. My second sword severed your head, and my third sword was for blocking your attack. However, your abilities are indeed extraordinary, and you managed to injure me."
857
858Qi Jiuyi wasn't standing far away. When he saw Qin Mu injured, he was tempted to make a move. He was slightly stunned when he heard what Qin Mu said, and he revealed a smile. 'He still views me highly and knows I'm stronger than Senior Brother Lou Qianzhong!'
859
860He didn't take the chance to attack Qin Mu. With his current abilities, he could make the injured Qin Mu stay, but he didn't make a move.
861
862Lou Qianzhong was his senior brother, but he had originally cultivated with Southern Heaven Red Deity Qi Xiayu and only became an apprentice to Mingdu's Black Deity. The time he had spent in Mingdu was shorter, so he wasn't close with the senior brothers there.
863
864Qin Mu suppressed his injuries and dispersed his three heads and six arms. He pasted the willow leaf back on his head and sprinted straight towards the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge.
865
866No one in the surroundings followed after him. They stood on the spot to think.
867
868"So that's it. There were only three swords after all."
869
870Dao Master Lin Xuan said with a blank expression, "It's just that these three swords are too brilliant and as a result, it was as though there were five swords. When did Cult Master Qin's sword skills reach such a high level..."
871
872The other youths also had the same thoughts. The three swords from Qin Mu looked simple, but they were simple moves derived from complicated moves. Just these three simple swords had given them an endless aftertaste of shock.
873
874Not many people could see how the three swords had become five swords, but for those who could see the wonder of it, they were even more stunned.
875
876And at that moment, Zhe Huali finally arrived, and his footsteps were still incomparably stable. Every step he took was of equal distance.
877
878"It's over?"
879
880Zhe Huali looked around and saw everyone standing here. However, Qin Mu and Lou Qianzhong were no longer there, and he hurriedly asked Qi Jiuyi, "Brother Qi, who won?"
881
882Qi Jiuyi said helplessly, "Senior Brother Lou Qianzhong died in battle."
883
884Zhe Huali was astonished and asked, "What move did Cult Master Qin use to kill him? How did he die?"
885
886Qin Jiuyi was even more helpless. "This... It's hard to explain. Cult Master Qin seems to have cultivated some remarkable technique that allowed him to transform into a three-headed and six-armed form. Furthermore, his abilities are stronger than before. He executed Opening Calamity three times."
887
888Zhe Huali's tiger eyes were wide open as he solemnly said, "Three heads and six arms? It looks like his abilities have risen again. I'll have to work hard as well. I will definitely nurse a grievance with my demon knife!"
889
890Lou Yunqu frowned slightly and looked at First Ancestor Human Emperor who was in front of him. He had wanted to save Lou Qianzhong just now. Unfortunately, the aura of the strong practitioner in front of him suppressed him, and he didn't dare to make a move.
891
892'Prince Qin Wu's battle power is extremely high...'
893
894He exclaimed to himself. 'However, with him alone, he won't be able to stop this general trend. It will crush him into pieces!'
895
896Kui Qingpei said with a low voice, "Senior Brother Lou, junior brother..."
897
898Lou Yunqu said with a low voice, "Qin Wu suppressed us so we couldn't save him, so junior brother could only die. However, this Son of Youdu is different from what I had imagined. Do you have the confidence to capture him?"
899
900Fu Yanqi's gaze flickered, and he said, "Senior brother can be at ease. Junior Brother Qi failed, lost master's treasure and couldn't capture him, but to us, it's effortless to capture him."
901
902Lou Yunqu said with a smile, "In that case, we can stop observing the techniques and divine arts of Supreme Emperor Heaven. Respectable King Fu Riluo, Provincial Governor Lu Li, we will return now."
903
904Fu Riluo asked in astonishment, "You are going back now? Lou Qianzhong has just died so aren't you going to take revenge for him? Senior brothers sure are magnanimous."
905
906Lou Yunqu said, "Lou Qianzhong's soul will return to Mingdu and reincarnate. Master won't let him die just like this. We are only returning to the devil territory and not back to Mingdu. Once the remaining survivors of Crimson Light reach Eternal Peace, it will be the end of Supreme Emperor Heaven."
907
908Fu Riluo was slightly stunned. There were only four visitors from Mingdu this time, and Qin Mu killed one of them. How was Lou Yunqu so confident that the three of them could help the devil race rule over Supreme Emperor Heaven?
909
910Because of the Pact of Earth Count between Saint Woodcutter and Fu Riluo, Fu Riluo couldn't mobilize the devil army to assist them. Lu Li was a provincial governor of Youdu, so she only listened to the orders from the celestial heavens and not Mingdu. Lou Yunqu also couldn't order her around.
911
912The power that Lou Yunqu could use was merely from the three of them.
913
914Qi Jiuyi watched as Lou Yunqu and the rest leaving, and his heart tightened. He said with a low voice, "Zhe Huali, if you can trust me, immediately follow me through the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge into the Great Ruins!"
915
916Zhe Huali's heart was astonished, and he was about to inquire more when Qi Jiuyi had already entered the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge one step ahead of him.
917
918Beside the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, Qin Mu, Xu Shenghua and the dragon qilin were surrounding a huge sacrificial altar. They were strengthening the sacrificial altar and fixing the broken runes, trying to maintain the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge from falling apart.
919
920In the sky, the abnormal star was already halfway through, and the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was barely holding on. Vibrations left the ground in a radius of several hundred miles riddled with thousands of ravines that looked like a spider web.
921
922The sacrificial altar was unstable, and the mountain rocks on it seemed like they could crumble into dust any moment.
923
924Qin Mu frowned. Dao Master Lin Xuan and the rest hurried over to help strengthen the sacrificial altar, but it didn't help. The sacrificial altar was still trembling continuously, and the energy coming from Eternal Peace was becoming boundless as it spread across the sky.
925
926And at this moment, the sun was extinguished as night fell on Supreme Emperor Heaven. However, the sky was bright like never before, all because of the light coming from the spirit energy pouring in from Eternal Peace!
927
928The star slowly disappeared bit by bit. Suddenly, First Ancestor rose into the sky and landed on the star. Only then did the speed of the star gradually slow down. Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly strengthened the sacrificial altar.
929
930Luofu Heaven.
931
932Magnificent altars stood tall on the world. On the sacrificial altar, the gods of the Great Ruins stood tall and protected it. For the past two years, they had guarded the place and had forced back numerous waves of attacks from the devil race.
933
934A crack in space opened up in front of one sacrificial altar. Three devil gods walked out, and they were Lou Yunqu, Fu Yanqi, and Kui Qingpei.
935
936"The land of the devil race has given birth to many heroes, and how many people have been buried on this land?"
937
938Lou Yunqu sighed ruefully and took out the Life and Death Book. He gently unscrolled it and said leisurely, "In the long and drawn out years, many inspiring and tragic heroes have been sent off. Are you still around?"
939
940His voice suddenly became resounding, and he said, "With orders from Mingdu's Black Deity, I command you to wake up and fight for me!"
941
942The Life and Death Book floated into the sky, and a light shone brightly like a mirror inside the book was reflecting light.
943
944Whoosh—
945
946The Life and Death Book flew around in Luofu Heaven, and wherever the light shone names would appear on the page, and countless names kept replacing the ones before!
947
948The book flew around Luofu Heaven at a speed the naked eye couldn't see and lit up every inch of ground!
949
950The god from the Great Ruins on that sacrificial altar was astonished, and his gaze fell on Lou Yunqu and the rest. He asked solemnly, "Who are you to create a ruckus here?"
951
952Lou Yunqu and the rest folded their arms and stood there quietly without paying him any attention.
953
954Suddenly, the ground split apart, and white skeletons wearing worn-out metal armor began to crawl out from underground. They stood up, eyes blazing with ghostly flames, and stood there without moving.
955
956Whoosh, whoosh. The sound of bones rattling rang out as every inch of Luofu Heaven churned. Countless skeletons dug themselves out from the ground and stood up.
957
958A devil god that was still decomposing crawled out from underground. It opened its mouth to spew out intense devil qi as though it was roaring silently at Lou Yunqu and the rest. The violent devil qi bombarded their faces and caused their skin to crease up. Their hair and gowns were blown backward, covering their faces with murky saliva that was green and purple.
959
960Afterward, tens of thousands of skeletons formed an endless army, and the devil qi seemed to pressure down on the sky that had collapsed. The sight was so gloomy that it was terrifying.
961
962The god of the Great Ruins on that sacrificial altar was astonished and gripped the divine weapon in his hand tightly.
963
964Lou Yunqu raised his hand, and the Life and Death Book flew to him. He said with a smile, "Junior brothers, make a guess, how long will I need to get rid of these remaining survivors of Founding Emperor Era on these sacrificial altars?"
965
966Boom—
967
968Countless skeletons flooded towards the sacrificial altars. The skeletons filled the heaven and earth, completely drowning the sacrificial altar in seconds!
969
970Kui Qingpei said with a smile, "Slightly faster than I had imagined."
971
972The skeletons invaded the sacrificial altars, and the gods of the Great Ruins that were guarding the altars couldn't withstand the attacks at all. They were torn apart by the skeletons of the devil gods that had rushed up!
973
974In the end, the sacrificial altars that Saint Woodcutter and the twenty-four gods had constructed to threaten Fu Riluo fell. Lou Yunqu used less than an incense of time!
975
976Countless corpses of the devil race stood on the sacrificial altars and roared angrily in all directions.
977
978Lou Yunqu handed the Life and Death Book over to Kui Qingpei and said with a smile, "We shall see what Junior Brother Kui does next."
979
980Kui Qingpei laughed and executed the Life and Death Book, which shone towards the sacrificial altar. The corpses of the devil race were bathed in light and were incinerated instantly, activating all of the runes on the sacrificial altar. A blood sacrifice erupted right away!
981
982Natural disasters broke out across the entire Luofu Heaven as it started breaking down!
983
984Luofu Heaven—which was in the process of being destroyed—brought a destructive force to smash onto Supreme Emperor Heaven's world barrier, heading towards Supreme Emperor Heaven!
985
986"Heavenly Teacher of the fake dynasty still isn't ruthless enough. If he was, he could have just used a blood sacrifice in Luofu Heaven and used Luofu Heaven to collide into Supreme Emperor Heaven."
987
988Lou Yunqu had his hands behind his back and smiled. "However, I will still have to thank him for constructing these sacrificial altars; it saved us a lot of trouble."

993
994
995
996In Supreme Emperor Heaven, the territory of the devil race, Lu Li took her leave from Fu Riluo. "Respectable King, I've left Youdu for too long, I need to return to Youdu, and I will be leading my army away."
997
998Fu Riluo frowned slightly and asked, "Senior sister has yet to capture Son of Youdu so why are you in a hurry to leave?"
999
1000"The visitors from Mingdu won't give me a chance to capture Son of Youdu. Even though I'm obsessed with attaining the power of Son of Youdu, I also know myself. With my power, I can't fight with Mingdu so I've decided to retreat."
1001
1002Lu Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Respectable King, since both of us are devils, let me give you three pieces of advice before I leave."
1003
1004Fu Riluo responded curiously, "Senior sister, please speak."
1005
1006"The first piece of advice is to endure, no matter what happens, endure. The second piece of advice is to pull back. The reason the tortoise lives such a long life is because it's good at pulling back its head. The third piece of advice is loyalty. There's nothing wrong with loyalty. Farewell!"
1007
1008Lu Li screeched loudly causing countless Youdu monsters to transform into black smoke and disperse. Lu Li's body turned around, and she gradually sank into the ground, vanishing without a trace.
1009
1010The Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge.
1011
1012Qin Mu finally let out a sigh of relief, and First Ancestor Human Ancestor headed to the abnormal star to instruct the gods entering Eternal Peace to move slower. Only then did the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge stabilize.
1013
1014Only then did he felt a sharp pain coming from his chest. Lou Qianzhong had created two wounds on his body when he pierced his chest. He had destroyed the middle prong on the fork aimed at his heart. Even though the other two prongs pierced him, they had missed his vital spots.
1015
1016That was why his third sword light was the most important. It protected his life by destroying the fatal threat.
1017
1018Lou Qianzhong was extremely strong after all, and even though Qin Mu had avoided the fatal blow, the damage he had caused was still quite significant. The dragon saliva alone wasn't enough to heal him. Remains of Lou Qianzhong's divine arts that had yet to be driven out were still in his wounds.
1019
1020Qin Mu cleaned his wounds and got rid of the remnants from Lou Qianzhong's divine art. He executed Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture and together with the dragon saliva, he managed to feel much more comfortable.
1021
1022Commotions came from the bridge, and Qin Mu walked forward, only for him to find the divine arts practitioners guarding the bridge were stopping Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali.
1023
1024The guard saw Qin Mu walking over and immediately said, "Cult Master, these two people are from the devil race and are clamoring to go to Eternal Peace through the bridge."
1025
1026Qin Mu said with a smile, "Senior brothers, you have come into the human territory, and you still want to go into Eternal Peace. Aren't you afraid I will kill both of you?"
1027
1028Zhe Huali shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, you aren't such a person. Abiding by the rules of the martial world, in a one on one fight, I'm not afraid of anyone in the human race other than you. Luo Qianzhong injured you during your fight. You might not be my opponent."
1029
1030"Who says I'm going to abide by the rules of the martial world?"
1031
1032Qin Mu was bewildered. "What I'm wearing is the official robe of the Eternal Peace Empire, so I'm abiding by the rules of the imperial court. The rules of the Eternal Peace Imperial Court is that there are no rules when fighting."
1033
1034Qi Jiuyi became nervous and would raise his head from time to time. Qin Mu became suspicious when he saw Qi Jiuyi examining the surroundings. Was Qi Jiuyi looking around to see if he would get everyone to beat him to death or was he looking out for something else?
1035
1036He raised his head to look at the sky but couldn't see any abnormality.
1037
1038"Why must senior brothers go into Eternal Peace? The star is currently entering Eternal Peace, and the energy that is shifting over is too huge. If you guys want to cross into Eternal Peace through the bridge, the energy that will be shifting over will be even larger."
1039
1040Qin Mu said sincerely, "Give me a reason and I might just agree."
1041
1042Zhe Huali didn't know why Qi Jiuyi had to go to Eternal Peace, so he looked towards Qi Jiuyi.
1043
1044Qi Jiuyi's expression flickered between dark and clear. He gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "Cult Master Qin, even though I'm learning from Mingdu's Black Deity, I can't always stand Mingdu's methods and ways of handling affairs. I have something I need to do, and I'll stop after achieving my goal. However, they will stop at nothing! The way they do things is too ruthless and too cruel. Since we are borrowing your path to save our lives, I will have no choice but to tell you what they are about to do."
1045
1046Qin Mu listened patiently while the other people were busy strengthening the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. True God Pang Yu led everyone to use their magic power to control the vibration. True God Pang Yu had learned numerous methods of calculations over the few years, but his attainments weren't that high. He could only rely on incomparably dense magic power to stabilize the bridge, as he was helpless when it came to fixing the runes.
1047
1048Qi Jiuyi continued to say, "Even though you also have aLife and Death Book, you don't know the power of the Life and Death Book. The Life and Death Book of Mingdu can control life and death, reawakening the dead. Mingdu's Black Deity makes this kind of treasure, and no matter if the souls of the dead were hiding in Mingdu or Youdu, they would be summoned by the Life and Death Book forcefully."
1049
1050Qin Mu's heart leaped. "The Life and Death Book has this kind of ability? Doesn't this mean that Lou Yunqu can mobilize all of the dead in Supreme Emperor Heaven to fight for them? The three of them are equivalent to an army of gods?"
1051
1052"Not only that!"
1053
1054Qi Jiuyi said, "Their aim isn't Supreme Emperor Heaven, it's Luofu Heaven!"
1055
1056Qin Mu cried out, "Saint Woodcutter is in danger!"
1057
1058Qi Jiuyi shook the plume on the back of his head uneasily. "Brother Qin, your understanding of their ruthlessness and cruelty is too kind. Mingdu uses all kinds of despicable methods when it comes to dealing with their affairs. Not only did they break the Pact of Earth Count and make the promise between the devils and humans invalid, they still want to destroy Supreme Emperor Heaven and take all of you down in one fell swoop!"
1059
1060The information blew Qin Mu's mind. "What you mean is... Lou Yunqu and the rest would sacrifice Luofu Heaven and cause Luofu Heaven to collide into Supreme Emperor Heaven! Impossible, there will be numerous casualties in the devil race, won't he be offending the devil race as well? Fu Riluo he..."
1061
1062His voice rang out in the surroundings, and the people strengthening the sacrificial altar stopped to look at them.
1063
1064"That's why I said you are too kind."
1065
1066Qi Jiuyi raised his head to look at the sky. He said quickly, "Why would the celestial heavens care about the life and death of the devil race? If the celestial heavens don't give a shit, neither will Mingdu. That's all I'm going to say. Can this piece of news allow Zhe Huali and me a chance to live?"
1067
1068Qin Mu's mind was in turmoil, and he waved his hands. His voice was hoarse. "Let them go. Let them go..."
1069
1070"Much thanks!"
1071
1072Qi Jiuyi bowed and pulled along the muddle-headed Zhe Huali to quickly reach the peak of the sacrificial altar. He walked into the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, and both of them disappeared.
1073
1074Qin Mu's heart was messed up, and he suddenly shouted, "True God Pang Yu, True God Pang Yu!"
1075
1076True God Pang Yu was on one side and was stunned. He hurriedly asked, "Cult Master Qin, is what Qi Jiuyi said true?"
1077
1078Qin Mu said solemnly, "No matter if it's true or not, there's no need to guard Supreme Emperor Heaven anymore! True God, mobilize everyone to leave Li City, Brilliance Injured City and the rest of the cities. Get them to hurry over here and move to Eternal Peace!"
1079
1080True God Pang Yu hesitated and said, "What if Qi Jiuyi gave a piece of fake news, isn't that giving away Supreme Emperor Heaven to them?"
1081
1082Qin Mu spoke coldly, "If this is true, numerous soldiers of Supreme Emperor Heaven will die a miserable death!"
1083
1084True God Pang Yu gritted his teeth and flew away.
1085
1086Qin Mu's heart was still in turmoil, and he raised his head to look at the sky. He looked at Li City, Brilliance Injured City, and the other god cities, and finally the Crimson Light Star that was slowly moving. He suddenly shouted, "Continue to strengthen the mutual shift bridge! Stop spacing out, quickly!"
1087
1088Dao Master Lin Xuan and the rest came to a realization and hurried to work.
1089
1090Qin Mu also walked to and fro. He stopped in his tracks and took out the Life and Death Book. He gritted his teeth and said, "How do I use this? Mingdu's Lou Yunqu can unleash the power of the Life and Death Book so could I not unleash the power of the Life and Death Book?"
1091
1092He tested it again and again, yet the Life and Death Book could only reflect the names of the people, it couldn't revive the dead.
1093
1094Right at that moment, the sky became brighter. Qin Mu raised his head, and his heart sank. He saw flowing fire in the sky, and it was a burning land hanging over Supreme Emperor Heaven.
1095
1096Luofu Heaven.
1097
1098The entire Luofu Heaven was burning. The ground was shaking, and the volcanoes were erupting. Lava had already spread throughout the land, and the sea had already evaporated, transforming into countless thunder clouds!
1099
1100Around the sacrificial altar, all of the gods had dazed expression, and they looked at the sky blankly.
1101
1102The sight was majestic and shocking to the heart. It made them forget about everything else as they looked up.
1103
1104"Strengthen the sacrificial altar!" Qin Mu shouted and woke everyone from their daze.
1105
1106Everyone woke up and hurriedly strengthened the sacrificial altar. The speed of the star entering Eternal Peace increased and brought even more pressure to the sacrificial altar. It was apparent that the gods in the floating world had also seen the sight in the sky and were trying to leave before Luofu Heaven landed.
1107
1108Li City was the closest, and True God Pang Yu used great magic power to move the army. The other gods of Supreme Emperor Heaven mobilized as well, and they hurried to the other god cities to move armies to the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge.
1109
1110Qin Mu immediately let the divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven enter the mutual shift bridge, which increased the pressure on the bridge sharply. The ground in the surroundings cracked continuously, and deep ravines appeared. Only the mutual shift bridge was still standing tall.
1111
1112If it continued like that, the mutual shift bridge wouldn't be able to hold for much longer.
1113
1114"Let the divine arts practitioners go ahead first! Gods stay behind!"
1115
1116God Sang Ye shouted and said, "Senior brothers, go to the other god cities!"
1117
1118Numerous gods left and hurriedly brought in more soldiers from all cities. Number people covered the vicinity of the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, and they were all waiting to enter the bridge.
1119
1120The spirit energy that came spewing out from the bridge grew more and more violent. Light rushed into the sky, and it was even brighter than the sacrificed Luofu Heaven. The mutual shift bridge trembled more and more violently while the ground in the surroundings gave off loud rumbles!
1121
1122Rulai Ma, Village Chief and the rest hurried over and used their own magic power to suppress the bridge. The help reduced the pressure on Xu Shenghua and the rest significantly, allowing them to fix the shattered runes.
1123
1124Qin Mu hurriedly took out his tools of calculation and observed the speed of Luofu Heaven's descent. He quickly calculated when Luofu Heaven would collide with Supreme Emperor Heaven and where the place of impact would be. After a moment, he put down his spirit weapon in dejection.
1125
1126"There are only four hours left..."
1127
1128And the place of impact was vast. It was the center of Supreme Emperor Heaven, and it was close to Li City. The radius of the impact was over ten thousand miles. No matter if it were the human territory or the devil territory, they would all be crushed by Luofu Heaven directly!
1129
1130He had a deep feeling of helplessness. Such a collision was something he couldn't prevent.
1131
1132Right at this moment, he saw figures flying up from the star and rushing towards the falling Luofu Heaven. There were lights from the devil race rushing into the sky and heading straight towards Luofu Heaven. Those were the gods of the floating world and the devil gods of the devil race!
1133
1134These gods and devils were using their powerful corporeal body and magic power to push away Luofu Heaven by force, attempting to change the original course of collision!
1135
1136In Luofu Heaven, world-shaking roars of anger sounded out as thousands of gods used all of their power to bombard Luofu Heaven. Even if they strained their muscles and tore the skin, they couldn't change the momentum of Luofu Heaven. However, they didn't even slightly alter the momentum of Luofu Heaven.
1137
1138Luofu Heaven gradually moved down like an incomparably large frisbee that continued falling towards Supreme Emperor Heaven.
1139
1140As time ticked by, more and more divine arts practitioners were entering the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. Soldiers were still sent over without end. More than half of the star had sunk into Eternal Peace.
1141
1142A rain of fire rained down from the sky, and those were the shattered pieces of Luofu Heaven. Huge chunks of rock fell from the sky. Millions of flaming rocks streaked across the skies and left behind trails of thick smoke as they struck the land.
1143
1144In the devil territory, Fu Riluo was rushing forward and moving the divine arts practitioners from the devil race to the city with the strongest defense, which was Gnawing Bite City.
1145
1146Other devil gods were also doing the same thing, but Fu Riluo and the rest of the devil gods were only moving divine arts practitioners that were of a higher class. The lowly devils were left to weep miserably.
1147
1148Fu Riluo's gaze had no emotions, and he did what he was supposed to do mechanically.
1149
1150When he came to Conjoining City, it was surprisingly quiet. The people weren't flustered and in a panic like the other cities.
1151
1152Conjoining City was peaceful, and even though the devils had also walked out onto the street, no one made a sound.
1153
1154He saw a mother hugging her child on the street and looking up at the sky. The child buried his face his mother's chest. He even saw lovers hugging each other tightly, and numerous families were huddling together tightly. Their faces were serene as they looked at the sky.
1155
1156In the sky, huge pieces of shattered land fell towards Conjoining City, and in their eyes, the shattered pieces became bigger and bigger. The flames became more and more intense to the point that their faces had turned bright red.
1157
1158"Go!" Fu Riluo shouted at them.
1159
1160No clansmen replied to him, and the mother gently soothed the baby in her embrace. No one looked at their king.
1161
1162Boom—
1163
1164The shattered pieces of Luofu Heaven crashed, erasing Conjoining City. All of the devils in the city were torn apart by the flames and explosions, vaporizing them in an instant. The terrifying explosion threw Fu Riluo up and blasted him several hundred miles away.
1165
1166Fu Riluo smashed into a mountain and raised his head towards the sky, looking at the shattered sky in a daze.
1167
1168He stood up, and there were splotches of blood on his body. He suddenly let out a sorrowful and angry cry to the sky like an injured old wolf.
1169
1170"Ah, ahh, ahhh—"
1171
1172His three faces distorted maliciously and heart ripping roars rang out. It was a few short roars at first as though he had no strength left. The roars at the end gradually grew longer and longer, becoming more and more heart-wrenching.
1173
1174The sight was similar to roars of despair when Qin Mu sat on a paper boat floating in Youdu and saw Dutian Devil King standing on the ruins of his world. Trauma and helplessness filled his roars.

1179
1180
1181
1182"Pitiful devils, you want to be a dog, yet the others don't care about the life of a dog at all."
1183
1184Fu Riluo raised his head, and his red eyes looked at where the voice was coming from. He saw Saint Woodcutter walking over to him from afar, and the blazing fire of Conjoining City was everywhere. Heavenly Teacher stepped on the lava and walked out from the fire while shattered pieces of Luofu Heaven dragged along trails of flames.
1185
1186Saint Woodcutter soon came to his front and said solemnly, "Fu Riluo, when you and I signed the Pact of Earth Count, you told me that it wasn't you that wanted to eradicate Supreme Emperor Heaven, but someone else. I didn't tell you back then that there are no complete eggs under an overturned nest. If Supreme Emperor Heaven is wiped out, do you think the devil race can live on?"
1187
1188Fu Riluo's stared at him ruthlessly and hissed. "Gnawing Bite City is the furthest away from the place of impact, and its defense is the strongest. The devils in the city can avoid this collision, so my devil race won't be erased because of this!"
1189
1190Saint Woodcutter looked at him pitifully and asked, "What about the places outside Gnawing Bite City?"
1191
1192Fu Riluo breathed heavily.
1193
1194Gnawing Bite City could only protect a hundredth of the devil race, and the others of the devil race would die in the huge collision—it would spare none of them!
1195
1196"Twenty thousand years ago, Chi Xi brought stars while escaping from his pursuers, and they came to Luofu Heaven. The arrival of Chi Xi and the remaining survivors of Crimson Light made Luofu Heaven unhabitable. Therefore you guys have no choice but to lay your hands on Supreme Emperor Heaven."
1197
1198Saint Woodcutter said softly, "In that case, who was the one that forced Chi Xi and those stars to Luofu Heaven? Have you never thought of the reason? In fact, you are very clear who Crimson Light Era's enemy was; you just don't dare to think that way. You still held a little delusion in your heart. It's time to wake up from your delusion."
1199
1200Fu Riluo laughed loudly. "They had indeed schemed against the remaining survivors of Crimson Light and my devil race. They forced my devil race to have no choice but to fight with Supreme Emperor Heaven, but what about you? You aren't any better yourself! You constructed the sacrificial altars, and Lou Yunqu used them to sacrifice Luofu Heaven! Why are you able to escape? You have always been waiting for the people of the celestial heavens to come so you could borrow their hands to sacrifice Luofu Heaven, forcing me into your camp! I'm not an idiot!"
1201
1202Saint Woodcutter looked and him and said calmly, "You are indeed not an idiot, and I had the plan to force you into my camp by the hands of the celestial heavens. However, if you think the celestial heavens wouldn't sacrifice Luofu without the altars, you are too simple."
1203
1204Fu Riluo was silent.
1205
1206Saint Woodcutter continued to say, "It doesn't matter if I constructed the sacrificial altars or not, the celestial heavens would still sacrifice Luofu Heaven. They will destroy the ancestral land of your devil race, using Luofu Heaven to crash into Supreme Emperor Heaven. Supreme Emperor Heaven will also die, and no lifeforms will be able to survive him. The need to survive and reproduce will force the devils into Eternal Peace, and then the celestial heavens can borrow your hands to wipe out Eternal Peace. That is their goal."
1207
1208Fu Riluo became decrepit and asked, "When you made the Pact of Earth Count, you already predicted this day would come, right? Why didn't you say anything?"
1209
1210"Before today, we were enemies. Why did I have to say it?"
1211
1212Saint Woodcutter stretched out a hand and said solemnly, "From today onwards, are we friends or foes?"
1213
1214Fu Riluo looked at this hand and hesitated slightly. After a moment, the two hands gripped each other tightly.
1215
1216Luofu Heaven was falling at an angle and finally collided with Supreme Emperor Heaven.
1217
1218Beside the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, Qin Mu looked at Luofu Heaven which was slowly crashing down. It was crushing Li City, the god city that had gone through countless wars. The divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven squeezed frantically into the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, and even Qin Mu lost his footing from being squeezed.
1219
1220People lost their camaraderies and trampled over one another, as they tried their best to escape for their lives.
1221
1222"Mu'er!"
1223
1224Village Chief, Granny Si and the rest avoided the crowd that was squeezing over. Qin Mu saw them in the crowd and forced a smile. "I'm fine, really."
1225
1226Where Luofu Heaven landed, the ground was like a glass smashed by a heavy object, causing pieces of land to crack and fly up.
1227
1228Red hot lava poured out from the cracks on the ground.
1229
1230The sight made the ground look soft and brittle. It was like waves being thrown into the air, flooding out in all directions.
1231
1232Dirt and rocks formed a thousand-mile wall. It looked like waves mixed with lava and flames, and even the mountains that were a hundred thousand feet high were merely an insignificant splash.
1233
1234The collision created tornadoes and swept in all directions to destroy everything. Lightning turned into the most violent storm that swept throughout Supreme Emperor Heaven at the fastest speed.
1235
1236The flames formed a mushroom cloud that was currently rising into the sky. Soon, it reached the vicinity of the suns which Imperial Preceptor and the divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven had forged. The two suns broke apart like paper.
1237
1238"Mu'er, go!"
1239
1240Village Chief and the rest shouted, "Quickly go into the bridge. You can survive in this kind of situation!"
1241
1242Mu'er looked at this sight in a daze. Granny Si barged through the crowd and pulled him straight towards the bridge. People were frantically climbing all over the bridge, squeezing and stepping on one another.
1243
1244Qin Mu got pulled along by Granny Si and stumbled up. He turned his head back with a dazed look on her face. He saw gods that were colliding with the surroundings, trying their best to defend against this destructive impact. They were trying to fight for a chance for the people to escape.
1245
1246The gods of Supreme Emperor Heaven and the floating world broke apart in the incomparably bright light which scorched their corporeal body, igniting and vaporizing them into nothing!
1247
1248Even the gods were insignificant in front of the destructive power.
1249
1250He couldn't see the situation on the devil side as Luofu Heaven had blocked his vision, but he could imagine it. Devil gods roaring in anger, struggling with their lives to defend against the collision between heaven and earth, and trying to find a chance of survival for their own people.
1251
1252They knew they had no power to defend against it even if they were devil gods, but they were willing to die for their clansmen.
1253
1254"I'm fine. I'm fine..." Qin Mu muttered.
1255
1256The event signaled the end of everything—Supreme Emperor Heaven, the people who couldn't leave in time, and the devil race that they had fought for twenty thousand years.
1257
1258At that moment, he watched as First Ancestor Human Emperor—the man that had escaped from the battle twenty thousand years ago—descended from the sky and landed at the place where the two worlds were colliding.
1259
1260First Ancestor was defending against the destructive power from the collision of the two worlds. He was fighting for more time, and the techniques he used were Sacred Secrets of Heaven and Earth Heart, while his mudra skill was Heaven and Earth Mudra Skills.
1261
1262He stood in the natural disasters and seemed to go back into the battle that had happened twenty thousand years ago. He seemed to become the him of twenty thousand years ago.
1263
1264Only, unlike in the past, he didn't run.
1265
1266His technique and his mudra skill were all cultivated to deal with such a situation. It would establish a heart for the destroyed heaven and earth, to establish life for the people!
1267
1268Qin Mu looked at the man from afar, and it was the first time he had seen First Ancestor serious and in high spirits.
1269
1270First Ancestor Human Emperor's mudra skills were to deal with such a world-changing situation. Heaven and Earth Mudra blocked natural disasters and was fighting for more time to let the people escape.
1271
1272Suddenly, the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge trembled violently. The runes on the surface of the sacrificial altar started to explode as the components forged from divine metals and materials began to break apart. Cracking sounds came from the insides of the sacrificial altar.
1273
1274Qin Mu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "The bridge is collapsing, don't go in. Hurry, come out now, the bridge is collapsing!"
1275
1276His voice was loud and rang throughout the whole area, but people continued to rush into the bridge.
1277
1278At that moment, the bridge collapsed, and the light that was rushing into the sky vanished instantly. Countless severed bodies fell from the sky. Most of the star had already entered Eternal Peace, but there was still a portion of the star that was sliced off. The sliced off section was incomparably flat.
1279
1280The broken star that got sliced off fell and became larger and larger as it was about to crash into Supreme Emperor Heaven!
1281
1282Qin Mu's heart turned cold as he saw numerous severed bodies of divine arts practitioners smashing down like rain droplets. They were the people that couldn't teleport to Eternal Peace in time. When space closed, they were severed into two halves in an instant, leaving half of their bodies in Supreme Emperor Heaven and half of their bodies in Eternal Peace.
1283
1284"What should we do?"
1285
1286Someone cried out like a helpless child. "What should we do? Now there's no bridge. We are all going to die here!"
1287
1288It left the heaven torn and the earth split. Meteors fell like rain, and the natural disasters were still rushing forth with violent impacts. It was a scene of doomsday.
1289
1290First Ancestor still stood there defending as he executed mudra after mudra to fight against the destructive impact by himself. The prince of the Founding Emperor Era was already puking blood from exhaustion, leaving his shirt bloodied. The reason all the divine arts practitioners around the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge could live so long was all because of him blocking the impact.
1291
1292However, if it continued, First Ancestor Human Emperor would die from exhaustion.
1293
1294True God Pang Yu flew forward and shouted sternly, "Everyone, follow me!"
1295
1296He went to First Ancestor Human Emperor's side and worked together with him to defend against the impact. "Preserve the younglings of our Supreme Emperor Heaven!"
1297
1298God Sang Ye and the rest were stunned before rushing forward. They surrounded them and pitted their lives against heaven and earth being destroyed. Village Chief, Butcher, Mute and the rest were among them. Rulai Ma even led the monks to join them.
1299
1300The old Daoists of Dao Sect, the old immortals of Little Jade Capital, and the generals and dukes of Eternal Peace went forward to put their lives on the line. They moved to protect the divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven and Eternal Peace.
1301
1302A youth carrying a chest walked out from the crowd and headed towards the gods. Cripple's expression changed, and he cried out, "Xing An, if you lay your hands on us now, I'll steal from all of your ancestors!"
1303
1304The youth didn't say a word and put the chest down. A true dragon belt flew out from his waist, and Xing An revealed his devil god body to defend against the impact with everyone.
1305
1306Qin Mu shouted loudly, "Those that are still alive, follow me!"
1307
1308He walked forward, and the other divine arts practitioners stumbled forward after him. Qin Mu came to First Ancestor's side and risked his life to fight against the impact. With all of their hot blood coursing through their bodies, they executed their divine arts to form a large shield.
1309
1310"It's permeated by this spirit!"
1311
1312In the destructive impact, a bold and unrestrained singing voice rang out. "What is permeated by this spirit lives on forever revered! It links up the cosmos, so how can life and death compare in importance?"
1313
1314That was Butcher who was let loose of his heroism. Even the brink of life and death couldn't block his splendor.
1315
1316Heroism churned in Qin Mu's chest as he continued with rampaging emotions. "The Corners of Earth depend on it to stand; the Pillars of Heaven depend on it to maintain their honor. The three relationships really do determine one's life..."
1317
1318Butcher laughed loudly and ended it off. "Moral righteousness is the root—"
1319
1320Butcher used Divine Spear Long Tuo to defend against the impact and snorted. "Frivolous..."
1321

1323
1324Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Zhai Zhu
1325
1326
1327
1328The most frivolous one was Blind, and he usually liked to show off his literary excellence with poetry. Yet, after Butcher walked out of his crazed state and recovered his previous splendor and began to show off, Blind was basically out of the show.
1329
1330Unity of will was an impregnable stronghold. Even though they would only preserve a few god cities under the impact, everyone had their spirits roused from hearing Butcher and Qin Mu's bold singing voices. The divine arts around them were like an indestructible god city that.
1331
1332First Ancestor Human Emperor's Heaven and Earth Mudra had transformed into the sky and land of the god city, as well as its four walls. The gods were the generals that strengthened the walls while Qin Mu and the tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners were soldiers standing on top of the walls, defending against the invasion of the enemy.
1333
1334They connected their qi and blood, and their divine arts linked up with one another to defend against the terrifying power.
1335
1336Everyone felt the incomparably terrifying pressure. Some people even had the blood vessels in their body explode. Blood flowed out of them and turned them into bloody people. Some had their tendons ripped and their skin split, while others had their bones broken. However, no one backed off, not even with both of their hands broken. After all, they still had their primordial spirit and could still execute divine arts.
1337
1338Finally, the first wave of impact—which was the most terrifying—was over.
1339
1340First Ancestor Human Emperor's legs suddenly buckled and he fainted onto the ground. Many pairs of arms grabbed him and didn't let him fall to the ground. Instead, they placed him down gently.
1341
1342Even though there were many divine arts practitioners and gods, First Ancestor Human Emperor withstood more than ninety percent of the pressure for their safety. He was a strong practitioner of God Execution Stage, surpassing the other gods by leaps and bounds. Even if everyone combined their power, it was still far inferior to his.
1343
1344Qin Mu and Apothecary went forward to examine his injuries and helped treat him. Meanwhile, the other gods surrounded them and continued to block the aftermath.
1345
1346At that moment, Supreme Emperor Heaven was like a hell covered in lava. Lava rained down from the sky along with black-colored ashes and flaming rocks the size of mountains.
1347
1348Hot winds were blowing at speeds a hundred times faster than sound, turning lava into huge overflowing waves that rolled past everything in their way.
1349
1350When the ground trembled, it caused the volcanoes to erupt from under the sea of lava. It resulted in pillars of fire that reached hundreds of thousands of miles into the sky.
1351
1352The sky had long broken apart, and the shattered pieces of space that shone with multiple colors no longer had any thickness. They flowed in the sky with a strange light. Some just flew at a rapid speed as though they were the sharpest blade, one which could slice anything they passed.
1353
1354The breathable air was nearly exhausted, and toxic gas which could corrode their lungs filled every breath of polluted air. Even if they held their breath, the poison could still seep into their skin.
1355
1356Xing An opened his chest and took out a handful of seeds. He gave the seeds a gentle blow, causing grass and willow trees to grow around them.
1357
1358The rather peaceful piece of land they protected had a radius of six to seven miles. It had become one of the few pure lands in Supreme Emperor Heaven that had not turned into a world of lava. That was the reason Xing An was able to use creation divine arts to grow grass and trees, purifying the air.
1359
1360Rulai Ma gently pushed his palms apart, and the pure land rose. The grass and trees floated to the back of his head and landed inside the apparition of the twenty heavens. He used the rays of buddha to nourish the only remaining greenery.
1361
1362Clean air started to emanate into the surroundings, and everyone gasped for air greedily.
1363
1364"We can't continue like this."
1365
1366Using their buddha rays, Rulai Ma and the rest of the monks formed a huge barrier of light to protect everyone. "Even if we use creation techniques, we can't last too long here. The sky will become black sooner or later. Without any light and with the non-existent spirit energy, our cultivation will deteriorate over time. We will eventually turn into skeletons here."
1367
1368Xing An closed his chest and suddenly said, "Cult Master Qin, you should have a way to build another Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, am I right?"
1369
1370Qin Mu and Apothecary were working together to suppress First Ancestor Human Emperor's injuries. "Impossible. Even though I have enough materials, the sacrificial altar over at the Great Ruins shattered at the same time as the sacrificial altar over here. The spirit energy pouring over crushed the two sacrificial altars at the same time, and without the altar in Great Ruins, I can't construct the mutual shift bridge."
1371
1372Xing An frowned and looked at the shattered sky. He shook his head and said, "The gods might be able to survive, but they will slowly become weaker. However, the divine arts practitioners won't survive for long. They are all burdens, so let's just abandon them."
1373
1374There were still tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners in the surroundings, and their hearts turned cold when they heard his words.
1375
1376Qin Mu straightened his back, and his gaze fell on Xing An's body. He said indifferently, "I've been to Supreme Brightness Heaven before, it's in the sky above Supreme Emperor Heaven. There's a passageway there that could lead to the Great Ruins. Supreme Brightness Heaven and Supreme Emperor Heaven are also connected so we can go over there from here. We can then move ourselves to the Great Ruins afterward, and no one will have to die."
1377
1378Xing An said, "However, we will only slow ourselves down if we bring along these people. Furthermore, we gods will still have to protect them. In this doomsday world, we will only have our power exhausted even faster if we protect these divine arts practitioners. I suggest is we travel light."
1379
1380His gaze swept over everyone and he said, "Maybe we should kill a batch first and turn them into jerky. Then we can replenish our nutrients when we are hungry."
1381
1382Everyone felt their hair standing on ends, and they didn't dare look at him.
1383
1384Qin Mu said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Xing An, in my eyes, you are also a burden. If you don't want to become a burden, think like a normal human being. Help when you are required to help and just do your job. You aren't the leader of us all so don't try to speak like a leader."
1385
1386Xing An frowned.
1387
1388Village Chief coughed and said calmly, "Xing An, you should have a lot of jerky in your chest, right?"
1389
1390Blind stroke his Divine Spear Long Tuo and the black dragon was as soft as a cat. It slithered under his rough hands while giving off cracking sounds; it was very comfortable. Blind said with a smile, "Maybe we can turn Old Brother Xing An into jerky and fill our stomach on the way."
1391
1392Cripple was full of courage this time and chuckled. "Let's chop off his two legs first!"
1393
1394Xing An said calmly, "Old Sword God, your four limbs are gone now, and you aren't my match. Even if this Dao Brother Pang Yu joins and all of you come after me at once, I'm not afraid."
1395
1396Apothecary asked curiously, "What are you saying? Say it once more."
1397
1398The corners of Xing An's eyes twitched, and after a moment, he slowly said, "I'll do my part on the journey."
1399
1400Qin Mu looked at First Ancestor; his injuries were very heavy. He couldn't wake up right away, and since his body was heavy, he had to be carried by True God Pang Yu.
1401
1402The other divine arts practitioners could travel on the sea of lava, as stepping on lava wasn't difficult for them. The only thing the gods had to do was defend against the terrifying hurricanes and the lava waves for them!
1403
1404A hurricane that had a speed a hundred times that of sound could easily blow away any divine arts practitioners. Poisonous gas and flaming rocks the size of mountains could easily injure them heavily or kill them.
1405
1406That was why the gods needed to guard the outer layer.
1407
1408"Volcanoes would erupt underwater from time to time, that will be slightly difficult..."
1409
1410Qin Mu muttered to himself. There were volcanoes everywhere under the sea of lava, and the eruptions of these volcanoes were equivalent to a strike from a god. He could only imagine what the outcome would be if the terrifying power hit the divine arts practitioners.
1411
1412"Sword God and I will deal with the volcanoes."
1413
1414Xing An suddenly said, "His sword skills plus my divine arts will be enough to suppress the volcanoes."
1415
1416Qin Mu nodded his head and assigned everyone responsibilities. He said solemnly, "Gentlemen, Supreme Emperor Heaven is already destroyed. It's hard to part from your homeland, but living is more important. Maybe in the future, we can come back here again and quell the disaster. However, we must leave now!"
1417
1418Sang Hua knelt and kissed the ground, rubbing her face gently on the earth. The other divine arts practitioners also knelt to the ground, kissing and embracing it.
1419
1420The divine arts practitioners of Eternal Peace looked at them silently. The love for one's country was hard to experience during times of peace. Only during moments of calamity could one's love be invoked.
1421
1422After a moment, everyone stood up with gods guarded around them. Each of them executed great magic power to freeze natural disasters. Others stepped on the sea of lava that had become calm, trying their best to follow the people in front.
1423
1424The sea of lava was scorching, and the air was terrifyingly hot. Even with Rulai Ma's buddha rays, it was hard to cool down the air.
1425
1426"Seal all your pores and preserve the water in your body!"
1427
1428Qin Mu shouted, "Those with flying divine arts, don't fly. Save some vital qi, as the journey is very long! Divine arts practitioners with higher realms, protect the junior brothers and sisters that are in a lower realm!"
1429
1430He walked forward, and Cripple took out a compass. The compass was very ancient with many angles on it. It should be a treasure that Cripple had stolen from somewhere. He saw the needle on the compass spinning randomly, and it couldn't differentiate the direction at all.
1431
1432Cripple let out a sigh and kept the compass. He examined the surroundings, and the sea of lava was everywhere. The only thing that could dictate the direction was the Luofu Heaven stabbed in the Supreme Emperor Heaven.
1433
1434Dao Master Lin Xuan and a bunch of old Daoists were trying to use stars to determine the direction when Daoist Cha suddenly said, "There are no stars in Supreme Emperor Heaven so how are we going to determine the direction?"
1435
1436Daoist Lin Xuan and the other old Daoists were astonished and disappointed.
1437
1438The other people also wanted to determine the directions, but there were no stars in Supreme Emperor Heaven. Furthermore, when both worlds magnetic points collided it messed up the magnetic field with abnormal points, making it impossible to differentiate which was the right one.
1439
1440There were also the dragon qilin, the big deer and numerous strange beasts that relied on the magnetic field to determine their location. However now, these magnetic fields were making the beasts dizzy.
1441
1442"Everyone need not worry about the direction."
1443
1444Qin Mu took out some Buddha Vitality Crimson Chromium and wood from Plume Buddha Mother Tree. He said to Rulai Ma with a smile, "Old Ma, I need the most dexterous carpenter in the world."
1445
1446Rulai Ma revealed a smile and said, "It's me."
1447
1448Qin Mu looked at Mute and said with a smile, "Grandpa Mute, I need the most talented blacksmith as well!"
1449
1450Mute grinned, and half a tongue grew out from his mouth. "Ah!"
1451
1452Qin Mu took out a paper and brush, doing calculation furiously, seeking accuracy. Not long later, he drew out a blueprint of a carriage and handed it to Old Ma and Mute. "To forge this compass carriage, the digits must be accurate to the position of Sha Na. Only then can we travel tens of thousands of miles without straying."
1453
1454Rulai Ma and Mute looked at the blueprints with grim faces, and after a moment Rulai Ma said, "We can give it a try!"
1455
1456The two of them started to get busy. They forged every component and after some time constructed the compass carriage. There was a golden man formed from Buddha Vitality Crimson Chromium on the carriage, raising an arm to point forward. On the head of the golden man were three small humans, each holding a wooden club. In their center was a drum.
1457
1458Qin Mu looked at Luofu Heaven and determined the directions first. He adjusted the hands of the golden man and called the dragon qilin over to pull the carriage. They all saw that no matter how the dragon qilin pulled the carriage, the hand of that golden man always pointed the same direction.
1459
1460"Dao Master, I understand the logic of Cult Master Qin's compass carriage. It's relying on the rotation of mechanical bearing, gears, and wheels to make the golden man always point one direction."
1461
1462A young Daoist went forward to inquire with Dao Master. "However, what are the three humans and the drum on top of the golden man for?"
1463
1464Numerous divine arts practitioners turned their ears to listen. They had been learning algebra for two years—and many of them learned from the Daoists of Dao Sect—so they were very curious about Qin Mu's compass carriage.
1465
1466Dao Master Lin Xuan said, "Those three small humans are used to calculate the mileage. Every hundred miles, the small humans should be moved by the gears and knock the drum once. As long as we calculate the number of drum beats, we will know the mileage."
1467
1468Everyone was astonished. "Why do we have to calculate the mileage?"
1469
1470Dao Master Lin Xuan said, "Cult Master Qin wanted Heavenly Worker and Rulai to be accurate to the Sha Na position, but even so, there will still be a slight deviation. After the compass carriage travels ten thousand miles, the direction in which the finger of the golden man is pointing will have a slight deviation. I expect Cult Master Qin will adjust the direction of the golden man's hand to the right by one Si digit."
1471
1472Everyone was astonished and Yu He muttered, "Is there a need to be so precise?"
1473
1474"There is."
1475
1476Dao Master Lin Xuan wore a warm expression. "If there's one Si of difference every ten thousand miles, there would be one Hao of difference every hundred thousand miles. We should be a hundred miles away from where we are supposed to go, and a difference after a hundred miles is not small. Cult Master Qin seeks perfection when he does things. When he wasn't familiar with seeing the original suns Supreme Emperor Heaven had, he smashed them and got Imperial Preceptor to rebuild them. From that, we can see his character."
1477
1478'He indeed smashed our sun on purpose!' True God Pang Yu—who was carrying First Ancestor Human Emperor on his back—thought to himself indignantly.
1479
1480When they walked about a hundred miles or so, a small human on the top of the golden man's head struck down on the drum.
1481
1482Everyone cheered. "It's true!"
1483
1484Dao Master Lin Xuan said with a smile, "This is the charm of algebra! It might look useless, but it's everywhere. If anyone wants to learn even more in-depth algebra than taught at the schools in Eternal Peace, you can come to my Dao Sect!"
1485
1486Old Monk Jing Ming took a glance at him and thought to himself. 'Dao Master has learned bad things from Qin Mu, he's starting to lure people to join Dao Sect. I need to tell Rulai, so we don't get our disciples stolen.'
1487
1488As they traveled ten thousand miles, the small humans beat a hundred times, and Qin Mu stopped. He opened the stomach of the golden man and adjusted the gears before continuing on their way.
1489
1490Everyone admired Dao Master Lin Xuan even more.

1495
1496
1497
1498On the journey ahead, they walked fifty to sixty thousand miles without any danger. They had already walked around Luofu Heaven. Even though Luofu Heaven was vast and stood upright in the center of Supreme Emperor Heaven, they couldn't see it. Layers of huge lava waves and black wind hid it from sight. Only Qin Mu's compass carriage could still determine the direction.
1499
1500Everyone was exhausted, and even the gods were starting to tire out. They were fine if they were just to protect themselves, the crux was that they still had to protect tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners. As a result, they were overly exhausted, and their vital qi was depleting continuously.
1501
1502Their stomachs were hungry, and their bodies gradually lost strength.
1503
1504Xing An opened up his chest and took out some jerky to hand to Qin Mu. "You are the leader, and you shall hand them out."
1505
1506The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched, and he placed the jerky into his taotie sack. "Village Chief, Grandpa Butcher, come over here."
1507
1508He let the people of Disabled Elderly Village surround Butcher, causing him to hesitate for a moment. He cut into the meat and said, "The children might not be able to stomach this kind of meat."
1509
1510Qin Mu said, "Dice them into small cubes, everyone just needs a meat cube the size of a fingernail, gods can have slightly more. Can Grandpa Butcher dice them into tens of thousands of portions?"
1511
1512"This is difficult; I'm afraid they won't eat."
1513
1514Butcher's knife skill was exquisite, and he quickly separated the jerky evenly. Qin Mu placed them onto a plate. A plate of diced meat was terrifyingly heavy. They shone with various colors, and even with his remarkable strength, he found it hard to lift them. Some of the diced meat even contained incomparably thick devil qi.
1515
1516"Those who cultivate the god path can take diced meat that is giving off god rays, and everyone can have a small piece. Those who cultivate the devil path can take diced meat that is giving off devil rays, don't take more."
1517
1518He gave out the dried meats. Xu Shenghua hesitated for a moment, and took two cubes, giving one to Jing Yan.
1519
1520Jing Yan was slightly hesitant and asked with a low voice, "Cult Master, what meat is this?"
1521
1522"Not human meat."
1523
1524Qin Mu hesitated and whispered back, "But it isn't any good either. Numerous arms and legs are hanging in Xing An's chest; there are even heads. This is the flesh of gods that don't belong to the human race, and there isn't much of it."
1525
1526After he had handed out the diced meat, Apothecary summoned him again. The two of them hurried to and fro, making spirit pills continuously. Granny Si used creation divine arts to grow spirit herbs and created cauldrons of spirit pills for the gods and divine arts practitioners to recover.
1527
1528Even so, they had nothing to eat. Spirit pills alone weren't enough to fill their stomach or quench their thirst.
1529
1530"Can creation divine arts create water?" someone asked with a low voice.
1531
1532Someone replied, "Stop talking and wasting the water in your body."
1533
1534Qin Mu flipped through his taotie sack and took out his remaining water to give everyone, but they could only get a few drops.
1535
1536He prepared for an emergency under normal circumstances, but he didn't have too much water in his taotie sack.
1537
1538The corporeal body of divine arts practitioners was strong, and one could still live for quite a time even when dehydrated. He just needed to let everyone maintain a certain level of moisture in their body and survive until they reach Supreme Brightness Heaven.
1539
1540"The water created by creation divine art is trying to change the most basic structure of a substance, this requires heaven-defying knowledge in creation divine arts. The one who probably has this level of attainment is First Ancestor Human Emperor, but he is severely injured..."
1541
1542Qin Mu pouted his dry lips and looked in front. Everyone, including the gods, was dehydrated. Only the dragon qilin pulling the carriage was still full of vigor, running ahead with light footsteps.
1543
1544Even his nemesis the big deer had depleted energy levels, becoming so skinny that only bones were left.
1545
1546Only the dragon qilin was full of energy. He could control fire naturally, so he was literally in his natural habitat. Even the high heat was like taking a hot bath to him.
1547
1548"Without water, we probably won't reach Supreme Brightness Heaven..." Qin Mu's throat was steaming, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty. However, he had no more saliva, so there was only dry rubbing sound.
1549
1550Five elements composed the divine arts in the world, but water attribute divine arts used the water vapor roaming in the surroundings to combine with their water vital qi, creating an apparition of water flooding everywhere. They weren't truly water, and when the vital qi dispersed, water vapor would quickly scatter away.
1551
1552Using creation divine arts to change the basic structure of a substance required extremely high attainments. It meant creating something from nothing.
1553
1554Such abilities were something they couldn't achieve.
1555
1556They walked forward with difficulty, and nobody still had spirit beneath the scorching heat. They could only rely on their willpower to drag their tired bodies forward.
1557
1558First Ancestor Human Emperor had already woken up, but his injuries were still very heavy. He needed True God Pang Yu to carry him, and Qin Mu could only hope Apothecary could help him. Only then could First Ancestor execute the methods of creation to create water from nothing.
1559
1560Suddenly, a light came from the sky, and the gods that were defending against the impact looked up to see an unscrolled Life and Death Book flying over quickly. The book shone with a bright light over the sea of lava.
1561
1562The Life and Death Book was bright like a mirror and showed names which moved quickly!
1563
1564'Life and Death Book!'
1565
1566Qin Mu was astonished. The thing flying in the sky was a Life and Death Book, or to be exact, it was the Life and Death Book that was in the hands of Lou Yunqu and the rest!
1567
1568Lou Yunqu relied on the power of the Life and Death Book to invade the sacrificial altars of Luofu Heaven, sacrificing it to cause the two worlds to collide!
1569
1570The Life and Death Book has appeared again, shining at the sea of lava in Supreme Emperor Heaven. What were they going to do?
1571
1572'If it's to seize me, he doesn't need to activate the Life and Death Book. In that case, he must be trying to capture all of us in one go!'
1573
1574When Qin Mu looked around, he could only see tired soldiers. The people couldn't fight at all, and even the gods were completely exhausted.
1575
1576'Supreme Emperor Heaven is being destroyed and has a horrible environment. Lou Yunqu should only be able to awaken some god skeletons. Luckily, there aren't too many...'
1577
1578The moment he thought to that point, huge god skeletons suddenly rose from the sea of lava. The bones were still flowing within the lava. The lava and flames on the skeletons extinguished, and their skulls were empty, leaving nothing but ghostly flames floating in their eye sockets.
1579
1580More and more god skeletons rose from the sea of lava. One, two, ten, a hundred... the number kept increasing!
1581
1582The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched. He wanted to say something, but his voice was hoarse. "True God Pang Yu, can you guys still fight?"
1583
1584True God Pang Yu, God Sang Ye and the rest had withered complexions. Their lips were dry, causing blood to flow out from cracked places. The people from Disabled Elderly Village weren't doing well either. To protect the tens of thousands of people, they had been dealing with disasters from all directions, and they were exhausted.
1585
1586Qin Mu looked at Xing An who was currently opening his chest and taking out several arms and legs. He replaced his legs and arms with new ones.
1587
1588He changed his body, taking out some god's blood to replace his own.
1589
1590"I can fight."
1591
1592After Xing An changed his blood, he said indifferently, "There are too many god skeletons, so I can't protect you guys for too long. The body parts in my chest are limited. Also, I have a term."
1593
1594He looked at Apothecary and said solemnly, "Have Jade Face Poison King completely solve the hidden symptoms in my body! If you guys don't agree I will turn and leave!"
1595
1596Apothecary frowned. "If I don't agree, where else can you go? You can't leave Supreme Emperor Heaven, and you can't go back to Eternal Peace!"
1597
1598Qin Mu sighed and said, "He can leave. The compass carriage has already pointed out the way to Supreme Brightness Heaven for him. Xing An is intelligent, so he would definitely realize that."
1599
1600Xing An revealed a smile. "Only I can save you guys now. In that case, Poison King, will you agree to my terms?"
1601
1602"Alright."
1603
1604Apothecary spoke without hesitation, "I will write down the prescription for you, but you have to fight until you die!"
1605
1606Xing An shook his head. "I can't. If my life is in any danger, I will leave immediately and not sacrifice myself here."
1607
1608Apothecary sneered. "If you aren't fighting to your death, what's the point of having you!"
1609
1610Xing An's eyes lit up and the skeletons of the gods seemed to have received orders, rushing over.
1611
1612Xing An immediately left, but his voice sounded out from a distance. "The time where you guys have to beg me will come!"
1613
1614He flew away and abandoned everyone.
1615
1616Butcher pulled out his knife and shouted loudly, "Fight to the death!"
1617
1618Knife light rushed into the sky, and the other gods also took out their divine weapons. They gritted their teeth and stared at the god skeletons that were rushing over.
1619
1620Even though they were already exhausted, the lives of tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners laid in their hands. They had put aside the rights to decide their life and death.
1621
1622More and more god skeletons appeared and drew closer and closer. The massive skeletons were stepping on the sea of lava, running so fast it looked as though they were flying. Their footsteps raised astonishing waves, and the atmosphere was terrifying.
1623
1624God Sang Ye suddenly said with a smile, "Senior Brother Pang Yu, if these young fellows could survive, there would be many among them that could cultivate to the level of god, am I right?"
1625
1626True God Pang Yu was carrying First Ancestor on his back, and he smiled. "That is natural. These bunch of youngsters is much smarter than us, and they also have a lot of abilities. Those that can cultivate to gods would be no inferior to our ancestors, and they might even reach a height we couldn't."
1627
1628The gods smiled and said, "In that case, if we fight to the death for them, it's worth it!"
1629
1630Grandpa Butcher laughed loudly and shouted, "Village Chief, granny, you guys shall send them off first. I will cover the back and cut them off. Are both of you confident in facing the danger ahead?"
1631
1632Granny Si became solemn and said firmly, "Until death puts an end!"
1633
1634"Okay!"
1635
1636The gods shouted as they rushed towards the god skeletons with world-shaking roars.
1637
1638Village Chief sighed and solemnly said, "Let us go! I shall use all of my cultivation to open up a path for you guys!"
1639
1640Just as his words fell in their ears, the sea of lava suddenly boiled as huge gas bubbles welled up. Village Chief was astonished and his vital qi transformed into his four limbs. Pressing down on his sword, he stared at the sudden transformation from the sea of lava.
1641
1642Whoosh—
1643
1644Lava rushed into the sky and a huge bone dragon clad in worn out armor rushed out. Behind the bone dragon, armor-clad god skeletons were sprinting furiously. There were close to a thousand of them leaping out from the sea!
1645
1646Village Chief's expression turned pale white, and the vital qi palm that was holding his sword started to tremble.
1647
1648On the forehead of that huge bone dragon, a god skeleton that wore a worn-out cape stood with a worn-out battle-ax in his hand. Swinging his battle-ax, he laughed loudly and ordered, "Soldiers of Southern Heaven Southern Dipper Division, raze these monsters down for me!"
1649
1650Whoosh. Countless god skeletons jumped over Village Chief and the rest and moved towards the skeletons that Butcher, Pang Yu and the others were fighting.
1651
1652Village Chief had a dazed look as he turned his head back to see the skeleton army fighting with the skeleton army. Instantly, shattered bones began flying in random directions!
1653
1654The skeletons that had rushed past them seemed to be a well-trained troop. The formation they laid out allowed them to rush ahead as though they were slicing melon, crushing the opponent's army into nothingness!
1655
1656Everyone was astonished by this sudden change of events. Village Chief turned his head back and suddenly saw that bone dragon lowering its head. The skeleton general on the skull put down his battle-ax and bowed. "Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, Southern Heaven Southern Dipper Division, Supreme Emperor Heaven Provincial Governor, Wei Liao, pay my respects to benefactor! It's rare to meet benefactor again, and I didn't expect it to be under such a circumstance."
1657
1658Even though he was only a skeleton, he had an extraordinary presence and heroic spirit. Just by hearing his voice, one could imagine he was an awe-inspiring god general during his lifetime!
1659
1660The tens of thousands of people were at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.
1661
1662Suddenly, they heard a voice from the crowd. "Provincial Governor Wei Liao is too courteous. Please rise."
1663
1664Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and they saw Qin Mu walking out from the crowd. This young cult master bowed slightly and raised his hands.

1670
1671
1672Qin Mu said with a smile, "I didn't expect we would reunite here. Is this place the ominous land?"
1673
1674"This is indeed the ominous land. However, this place has also become a sea of lava. The ominous land no longer exists. We had planned to guard the ominous land and sank into the sea of lava. Only, were we awakened by the Life and Death Book and knew benefactor was in danger; therefore we have come to lend our assistance."
1675
1676Wei Liao's gaze moved past them, and he looked at the battlefield with a smile. "Mere filthy scum can't do anything to my Southern Heaven Southern Dipper Army! Benefactor, don't worry, we just need a moment, and we will be able to break through!"
1677
1678Qin Mu said to Village Chief, "This is Seven Kills Star Sovereign of Founding Emperor Era, the provincial governor of Supreme Emperor Heaven. He died here when the devils invaded."
1679
1680Village Chief nodded his head gently and seemed to be a little numb. "Provincial Governor of Supreme Emperor Heaven, and also Seven Kills Star Sovereign... How did you guys meet?"
1681
1682Qin Mu scratched his head and said, "I got caught by Fu Riluo, and when I escaped, I passed by this place and woke him up. Then we became acquaintances."
1683
1684"Just like that?" Village Chief cried out in astonishment with his eyes wide open.
1685
1686The provincial governor of Supreme Emperor Heaven who had died in battle was still the provincial governor, after all, but he became acquaintances with him just like this? Furthermore, he even risked his life to save them when he saw Qin Mu in danger. Would a simple acquaintance have such deep friendship?
1687
1688Village Chief was skeptical.
1689
1690Qin Mu said honestly, "Just like that."
1691
1692"In that case, this army of god skeletons..."
1693
1694"I woke them up after waking him up."
1695
1696Village Chief was stunned. "Just like that?"
1697
1698Qin Mu replied briefly, "Just like that. However, Youdu's messenger of death almost took me into Youdu to be sentenced for my crimes. Luckily, Star Sovereign Wei Liao stopped him."
1699
1700Village Chief let out a sigh and said bleakly, "I shouldn't have spent such a long time in Fengdu. I missed so many interesting events. Next time there are such interesting things remember to call me."
1701
1702Qin Mu nodded his head. "The next time I get captured, I will definitely bring Grandpa Village Chief!"
1703
1704Wei Liao's skeleton army quickly shattered all of the enemies, and a bunch of skeletons rushed over in excitement. Wei Liao shouted, and the skeletons didn't dare be reckless. They hurriedly got into their ranks.
1705
1706Butcher, True God Pang Yu and the rest of the gods walked over. They were muddle-headed and bewildered as they examined the white skeletons.
1707
1708Lou Yunqu had summoned the dead gods of Supreme Emperor Heaven to fight for him, but he never expected Qin Mu to have such a white skeleton army to help him.
1709
1710If it weren't for Wei Liao who hurried over just in time with his Southern Dipper Army, they would probably have casualties.
1711
1712However, standing together with the skeleton gods made them feel nervous.
1713
1714Wei Liao laughed and said, "Even though this doomsday is dangerous to you guys, it isn't dangerous to the dead at all. Benefactor, let us escort you out."
1715
1716Qin Mu hurriedly said, "My enemy possesses the Life and Death Book, and it can revive the dead; it's very powerful. Since it can revive the dead, it can also turn the living back to the dead. It's best for everyone to continue hiding in the ominous land..."
1717
1718As he was saying, the Life and Death Book suddenly appeared again, and the mirror-like paper shone brightly. Beams of light shone down on them.
1719
1720Qin Mu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly took out a few mirrors. He poured his vital qi into the mirrors, and they grew larger before flying above the heads of Wei Liao and the rest to block the light.
1721
1722"Grandpa Apothecary, where are your mirrors?"
1723
1724Qin Mu shouted, "Everyone, activate your mirror and block the light of the Life and Death Book!"
1725
1726Apothecary hurriedly mobilized dozens of mirrors, and the other divine arts practitioners also came to a realization. Instantly, there were over ten thousand mirrors of all sizes floating in the sky. They completely sealed the sky, allowing no light to penetrate through.
1727
1728The light from the Light and Death Book scattered down and was reflected by the mirrors, preventing the light from shining on Wei Liao and the rest.
1729
1730Forty percent of the tens of thousands of divine art practitioners were female, and even though they were cultivators, they still wished to appear beautiful. They would usually have one or two mirrors, though the one with the most mirrors was still Apothecary.
1731
1732Some divine arts practitioners cultivated unique spells. Therefore, they used mirrors as spirit weapons. After being refined into a spirit weapon, the mirror could expand to have an area of several hectares, and that was a magnificent sight.
1733
1734Qin Mu saw that the light from the Life and Death Book couldn't land, but he still didn't dare to relax. "The flying speed of the Life and Death Book is extremely fast; it's impossible for us to change accordingly to the situation. As long as the Life and Death Book moves quickly, it can still shine onto you guys. Provincial Governor, it's best for you guys to hide."
1735
1736Wei Liao grabbed his battle-ax and said solemnly, "The Life and Death Book can shine all the way into the Yellow Springs, where can we hide? Hehe, what's more, those fellows of Mingdu are the nemesis of our Southern Heaven Southern Dipper! We have already died once so what's the problem in dying once more?"
1737
1738Qin Mu frowned and said, "Provincial Governor Wei Liao, if Lou Yunqu sends you guys to Youdu, I still have a way to drag you guys back. However, if he sends you to Mingdu, I won't have the ability to do so. Where there's life there's hope, please think thrice!"
1739
1740At this moment, everyone saw the light changing rapidly, and it was evident that the Life and Death Book was moving at high speeds. It was likely that Lou Yunqu and the rest changed their direction because they saw the power of the Life and Death Book getting reflected by the mirrors.
1741
1742"There's nowhere for us to retreat so why retreat?"
1743
1744Wei Liao was about to rush out of the protection of the mirrors when a familiar voice suddenly rang out. "Provincial Governor doesn't have to sacrifice needlessly. Cult Master Qin, don't you have a Life and Death Book? If you execute your Life and Death Book, can't you counter the power of the opponent's Life and Death Book?"
1745
1746Qin Mu was delighted and turned around to see Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor walking towards him. He was as easy-going as usual and looked like he was planning strategies.
1747
1748"Junior brother has come out from seclusion? You didn't die in Luofu Heaven?"
1749
1750Qin Mu's flustered heart calmed when he saw him. He hurriedly took out his Life and Death Book and asked, "Where's teacher? Why didn't he appear with you? If teacher was here, he could execute the power of this Life and Death Book..."
1751
1752Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor took the Life and Death Book while saying indifferently, "Teacher still has some other matters to attend to. However, I know how to execute a Life and Death Book."
1753
1754His magic power burst forth, and the Life and Death Book unfurled. A bright light screen shone on Wei Liao and the rest of skeleton gods from above. "Junior brother can remove the mirrors now."
1755
1756Qin Mu was anxious and doubtful, but he still let everyone take down their mirrors. He saw another Life and Death Book flying over, and there was light shining down. However, Wei Liao and the rest were safe.
1757
1758Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had executed the power of the Life and Death Book, blocking off the power of the opponent's Life and Death Book!
1759
1760The Life and Death Book was a treasure that was made by Mingdu's Black Deity. Even Qin Mu couldn't execute much of its power, and if he wanted to do so, he would need a deep understanding of Mingdu's techniques and divine arts. Qin Mu had never learned the divine arts and techniques of Mingdu which was why he couldn't do anything.
1761
1762When had Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor learned the techniques and divine arts of Mingdu?
1763
1764"Teacher's knowledge is profound, and he knows how to control the book."
1765
1766Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said calmly, "I have learned all kinds of knowledge following him to cultivate for two years. I comprehended a hundred from comprehending one and mastered a hundred by mastering one. Controlling the Life and Death Book isn't hard."
1767
1768In the sky, a huge hand suddenly appeared and grabbed at the Life and Death Book!
1769
1770The palm swayed, and darkness was born, enveloping the Life and Death Book. It was as if the book had entered another dimension and gone into another time and space.
1771
1772Qin Mu was astonished. "Lou Yunqu has made their moves. They want to snatch away the Life and Death Book."
1773
1774Swoosh—
1775
1776Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor stabbed out, and the bright sword light pierced into the darkness. Qin Mu was about to say something when he saw the bright sword light penetrate the hand in the darkness. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's sword light instantly severed several fingers.
1777
1778The huge hand grabbed at the Life and Death Book, but it had no more fingers, so it missed. It could only move back in pain.
1779
1780Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor returned his sword into its sheath, and it seemed like he hadn't done anything. He continued to say, "If you see through the spells of Youdu, you will be able to see through the spells of Mingdu and the spells of Fengdu. All spells have their fundamental theory, and the fundamental theory is the so-called Dao. Once you understand the Dao within and look at the Life and Death Book again, everything will become clear. It won't be as hard to execute."
1781
1782Qin Mu's heart was endlessly astonished. It was impossible for the sword of Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor to stab the palm hiding in Mingdu. Mingdu shrouded the darkness devil qi that the palm gave off.
1783
1784When Qin Mu and Lou Yunqu's junior brother fought, he discovered the strangeness of the spell from Mingdu. Lou Qianzhong defeated Xu Shenghua that way. Qin Mu had only slain Lou Qianzhong because he was born in Youdu and could enter the Mingdu space formed by Lou Qianzhong's devil qi.
1785
1786The sword from Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor wasn't a spell of Youdu, but it could stab the palm. It seemed what he said was true, and he already understood the Dao within. The spells of Mingdu were no longer a secret to him!
1787
1788"Your comprehension rose to such a step in just two years..."
1789
1790Qin Mu looked at him in admiration and muttered, "How knowledgable must teacher be to let you improve so fast?"
1791
1792Village Chief floated forward and said solemnly, "Imperial Preceptor, the attainments in your sword skills have already surpassed mine."
1793
1794Imperial Preceptor greeted, "You flatter me. Senior brother."
1795
1796Village Chief's vital qi transformed into four limbs and he returned the greeting, "Senior brother."
1797
1798Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor looked forward with astonishment on his face, which gradually transformed into a smile that grew wider and wider. It finally became a refreshed and hearty laugh that was like the spring season.
1799
1800Village Chief also laughed loudly.
1801
1802The laughter of the two sword gods reverberated in the doomsday, traveling up to the nine heavens.
1803
1804High up in the air, Fu Yanqi's face was black, and he pulled back his bloodied hand. From his five fingers, he only had a thumb left. It wasn't Lou Yunqu who was controlling the Life and Death Book just now, but him.
1805
1806The three of them each received a portion of Black Deity's teachings. Lou Yunqu could activate the Life and Death Book to revive the dead. Even if Earth Count took their souls, he could seize them back by force with the Life and Death Book.
1807
1808On the other hand, Kui Qingpei could control the blood sacrifice power of the Life and Death Book, dissolving the corporeal body and primordial spirit of the gods directly.
1809
1810As for Fu Yanqi, he could control the Life and Death Book to exhaust the life of the living, sending them into Mingdu.
1811
1812However, he had met Imperial Preceptor, who negated his power completely. Therefore he had planned to seize Qin Mu's Life and Death Book. He never expected his divine art to be broken and lose four fingers in the end.
1813
1814On the other side, Lou Yunqu hurriedly grasped the Life and Death Book of Mingdu, shining it at Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. His heart trembled slightly and he said with a low voice, "The leader of Eternal Peace's reform has finally appeared!"
1815
1816Fu Yanqi endured the pain and looked at the Life and Death Book, only to see one name that had appeared.
1817

1821
1822
1823
1824Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's appearance appeared on the Life and Death Book, and behind was him was a taboo name—River Tomb, Jiang Baigui.
1825
1826"So this is Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's name!"
1827
1828Fu Yanqi held his hands and sucked in a cold breath. Suddenly, he sacrificed a little god blood with a trembling hand and wrote Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's name down.
1829
1830River Tomb, Jiang Baigui.
1831
1832Once he wrote the line of words, the god blood actually seeped into the Life and Death Book, becoming more and more blurry until it finally disappeared.
1833
1834"The Life and Death Book can register death, and now that his name is registered, his soul and life are hooked!"
1835
1836Fu Yanqi sneered and said, "The blood loss from my four fingers won't be for nothing!"
1837
1838Qin Mu and the rest were all hurrying on their journey. Meanwhile, Lou Yunqu and Kui Qingpei watched them, their gazes following Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor as they quietly waited.
1839
1840Even after a long time passed, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor walked calmly. He assisted everyone in defending against the powerful waves trying to prevent their advance.
1841
1842"Why hasn't his life and soul been hooked away?"
1843
1844Fu Yanqi gritted his teeth and poured out more god blood. He was about to write down Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's name when Lou Yunqu stopped him and shook his head. "Junior Brother Fu, this person has remarkable abilities, and the spell of Mingdu is no longer a secret to him. The more you test it on him, the more he will understand our Mingdu's spells. Now that he has the Life and Death Book, you can't use the Life and Death Book on him anymore."
1845
1846Fu Yanqi growled, "Has my blood flowed for nothing?"
1847
1848Kui Qingpei frowned and said, "Under this world, the spells of our Mingdu are the most mysterious, so how could he break them? Even if the Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor is the leader of Eternal Peace's reform, he shouldn't have such heaven-defying talent at such a young age!"
1849
1850Lou Yunqu said with a sigh, "Maybe this is the effect of the fake celestial heavens. All the past celestial heavens rose from that place, and it's natural that there's something special there. I've heard from all the different worlds, and only this ancestral land would have a saint appear once every five hundred years. The other heavens don't have that kind of rumor. Maybe the Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor is the concentration of destiny."
1851
1852Fu Yanqi used his cultivation to seal his wound and stop the bleeding. He frowned and said, "I won't dismember myself and reincarnate just because I had broken four fingers. Damn it. It's fine if he kills me, but to only sever four of my fingers! Let me go kill them; I will blow myself up and return to Youdu!"
1853
1854Lou Yunqu saw Qin Mu and the rest leaving into the distance. He said with a smile, "What are you worrying about? Just let them go. Our goal this time is to sacrifice Luofu Heaven and force the devil race into Eternal Peace. This will make them have no choice but to wage war. Once most of the gods and divine arts practitioners of Eternal Peace die, they will awaken the stone statues in Eternal Peace which will destroy the world. Aren't we about to accomplish our goal?"
1855
1856Kui Qingpei said, "My second goal is to record what we have learned from Eternal Peace's reform, and the result of Eternal Peace's reform is all on Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. Therefore, the fastest way is to seize Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor."
1857
1858Lou Yunqu said, "The third goal is that master wants to meet Son of Youdu."
1859
1860He said with a smile, "I feel these three matters can be executed and completed at the same time. Let them continue forward. When they reach Supreme Emperor Heaven, no matter how their divine arts can transform, they will always be within our control. Junior Brother Fu, calm down, we just need to wait quietly."
1861
1862The three Mingdu gods stood in the air and didn't give chase.
1863
1864Tens of thousands of people roasted until their skin was clinging to their bones. Even the beautiful Granny Si had become emaciated. Just when everyone, including the gods, couldn't endure any longer, First Ancestor Human Emperor's injuries finally stabilized. It was all thanks to Qin Mu and Apothecary's exceptional care, allowing even his cultivation to recover slightly.
1865
1866First Ancestor Human Emperor used his creation divine arts to create clean water for everyone, allowing them to get their lives back.
1867
1868First Ancestor Human Emperor could finally walk by himself, no longer needing True God Pang Yu to carry him. When he looked at everyone drinking water, the prince of the previous dynasty was still slightly depressed.
1869
1870Seeing Seven Kills Star Sovereign, his depression grew even worse.
1871
1872Wei Liao recognized him and said, "When I was taking up my position in the dynasty, I met Your Highness. When I was still alive, I met a person who claimed to be Heavenly Saint Cult Master from the lower bound, who seemed like a very gentle man but he was actually very wild. From his words, I've heard of Your Highness' deed and know that Your Highness led all the races out from hell and found them a path of survival amidst the dangers."
1873
1874First Ancestor Human Emperor said depressedly, "Founding Emperor Era has already been wiped out, there's no more highness. I'm just an army deserter, and Founding Emperor is one too. General is righteous, so don't mention the past anymore."
1875
1876Wei Liao was stunned and suddenly said with a smile, "Your Highness, what do you feel about Human Emperor Qin leading these tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners to seek survival, how is the heroic undertaking?"
1877
1878First Ancestor Human Emperor's depression vanished, and he turned to look at Qin Mu. "He is good, a good child. I've never seen a person who could be so positive in such a harsh situation. Furthermore, he still has great wisdom, great courage and always pushes on in the face of adversity. They are many gods around him, but the one who could bring all of these gods out of this desperate strait is him and only him!"
1879
1880Wei Liao said with a smile, "But the person he's learning from is you!"
1881
1882First Ancestor Human Emperor was stunned and shook his head. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just an army deserter. Heh, the battle of Jade Brightness Palace, I escaped..."
1883
1884"However, the situation you faced at that time was a hundred times worse than the current situation!"
1885
1886Wei Liao said, "Human Emperor Qin is leading everyone to step across Supreme Emperor Heaven to find a path of survival. Even though the condition of Supreme Emperor Heaven is harsh, it is far inferior to how Founding Emperor Era ended. The person he's imitating is you, and it was you who led countless old, weak, ill and disabled in that terrifying era to cross mountains and seas of corpses. You avoided countless dangers and even fought to the death to find a path of survival for them, to find Eternal Peace."
1887
1888First Ancestor was slightly stunned.
1889
1890Wei Liao continued to say, "If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be the Eternal Peace of today, there wouldn't be the reforms later, and there wouldn't be so many youths that shine with various talents. Your Highness, even the evilest person in Eternal Peace would hold respect for you and call you ancestor. Even the most influential person in Eternal Peace is also one of your people, and they honor you as Human Emperor. You only know yourself as an army deserter, but have you ever thought of your own merit. During these days, I've observed Human Emperor Qin call you First Ancestor. Even Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor is respectful to you. You should know from that how highly respected you are in their hearts."
1891
1892The huge skeleton said with a smile, "They have treated you as their closest kin. Even Human Emperor Qin—who is leading tens of thousands of divine arts practitioners to leave the Supreme Emperor Heaven—is learning from you!"
1893
1894"They have always been discussing the reform of Eternal Peace, but without you, where would there be Eternal Peace Empire or even Eternal Peace's reform?"
1895
1896"Your Highness, you have your roots in Founding Emperor Era, but you are the one who started Eternal Peace Era!"
1897
1898"You only notice the stain in your life but have forgotten the saplings you have left behind. They have already grown into towering trees and lush green forest. Your Highness, look forward."
1899
1900"Your stain is very small, and your merit is greater than heaven!"
1901
1902Wei Liao said with a smile, "We, the old brothers that have died, are looking at you from above. The friends of Jade Brightness Palace are also looking at you from above. They wish you could walk out and not continue sinking down like this."
1903
1904Tears suddenly streaked down First Ancestor Human Emperor's face."
1905
1906At the same time, a broken cliff appeared in front of them, and filling it was broken space. Qin Mu and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor looked ahead and saw numerous broken pieces of space. The pieces clustered together and were composed of rays of various color.
1907
1908Some shattered pieces of space were pure and flawless, like a blue sky which floated by silently. Other shattered pieces were like sapphire blue seas, while some were flames, lands, or mountains.
1909
1910However, the shattered space had no thickness. So, if one fell, they would likely feel nothing and simply get cut into pieces.
1911
1912Qin Mu looked around, finding the length of the broken cliff astonishing. They couldn't see the end with their eyesight, nor could they see what was on the other side. There were too many shattered pieces of space blocking their vision.
1913
1914The lava from the sea of lava had also broken off after flowing to the area, and they didn't know where the lava flowed.
1915
1916"This should be the huge hole created when the Great Ruins fell from the celestial heavens."
1917
1918Qin Mu let the dragon qilin stop the compass carriage and said, "If we were to head to the Great Ruins from here, I don't know the way. However, if we go from Supreme Brightness Heaven to the Great Ruins, I still know the path."
1919
1920"The crucial point is how we get into Supreme Brightness Heaven from here!" Granny Si walked over and said with a soft voice.
1921
1922After replenishing her moisture, she has become incomparably beautiful again.
1923
1924Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor took a glance at her and hurriedly pulled back his gaze while thinking to himself. 'I have already married. I can't have any other thoughts.'
1925
1926Cripple ran along the broken cliff with incredible speed, and after a moment, he rushed back causing a hot gust to blow in everyone's faces. He quickly said, "There's a bridge over there, one seemingly connected to the other side!"
1927
1928The news surprised everyone. How could there be a bridge in such a place?
1929
1930They hurried to the location Cripple found, and there was indeed a bridge leading to the other side. Over a dozen jade green willow leaves weaved together to create the bridge. However, the willow branches were as thick as a dragon. There must have been someone who transformed the willow branches to be so immense and immeasurable!
1931
1932The willow branches crossed each other and reached the other shore. However, the willow branches on their side were rooted in the lava and absorbing nutrients!
1933
1934Qin Mu asked with a soft voice, "Provincial Governor Wei Liao, was this bridge constructed by you guys?"
1935
1936Wei Liao looked at the bridge, also in a daze. He shook his head and said, "I died early and didn't know about a bridge here."
1937
1938Qin Mu looked at True God Pang Yu who shook his head. "We have been fighting the devils for twenty thousand years, and there was never a bridge here. We don't even have the methods to use willow branches to make a bridge."
1939
1940The willow branch bridge could connect the two worlds, and what was truly strange was that this bridge avoided all of the shattered pieces of space. The bridge wasn't straight. Instead, it twisted and turned around the shattered pieces of space in front of the broken cliff, carving out a path for survival!
1941
1942"Such profound algebra..."
1943
1944Dao Master Lin Xuan and the old Daoists of Dao Sect were astonished as they looked at the bends in the bridge. One old Daoist was overwhelmed with astonishment, and he muttered, "Their attainment is truly profound. Only then could one easily avoid all of the messy, complicated and irregular pieces of shattered space. Who constructed this bridge? Who has such profound attainments in algebra?"
1945
1946First Ancestor Human Emperor went forward to check and said, "This is from Heavenly Teacher, he has been here and calculated a path of survival. He then created this bridge with the willow branches. It should be Supreme Brightness Heaven that's at the end of the bridge!"
1947
1948Qin Mu said excitedly, "Sacred Teacher is the teacher of our Heavenly Saint Cult's Founding Master. If you want to learn algebra, you can come to our Heavenly Saint Cult or Heavenly Saint Academy!"
1949
1950Dao Master Lin Xuan's face turned black, and he was speechless from resentment. Old Monk Jing Ming, who was beside him, gave a slight smile and thought to himself. 'Now you know Cult Master Qin is not easy, right?'
1951
1952Dao Master Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and said to the old Daoist beside him, "After going back, should we discuss with the emperor to open a Dao Sect Academy?"
1953
1954Qin Mu sent a person to scout the bridge first, and after a long while, the person returned from the other side and said, "The path is safe, it's a dead and silent world on the other side."
1955
1956"That is Supreme Brightness Heaven!"
1957
1958Qin Mu's spirit rallied, and he immediately ordered everyone to pass through the bridge in an orderly fashion.
1959
1960"Provincial Governor Wei Liao, it's lucky to have your protection along the way. Will Provincial Governor follow us into the Great Ruins?"
1961
1962Qin Mu said to Wei Liao, "There's Fengdu in the Great Ruins, and I had promised a position to you guys there in Fengdu. it's time for me to fulfill my promise."
1963
1964Wei Liao turned back and saw Supreme Emperor Heaven in ruins. After a long time, he shook his head and shouted loudly, "Brothers who have died, follow me into Fengdu!"
1965
1966Village Chief looked at the thousand of white skeleton gods, and he couldn't help sighing. Qin Mu was bewildered and asked, "Why is Village Chief sighing?"
1967
1968"I'm thinking about Daoist Ling Jing who is still rowing the boat in Fengdu."
1969
1970Village Chief sighed. "Now there's going to be another thousand gods in the Great Ruins. Daoist Ling Jing is probably not going to be able to buy a house if he rows the boat to earn money. The price of the properties is going to shoot up drastically..."
