Chapter 1232: Jade Dance Concubine

Yu Wufei flicked her hand, drawing out a long whip that transformed into a white dragon, coiling towards Qin Mu from a distance. Simultaneously, the women in her Heavenly Palace activated their divine weapons. In an instant, snow flew everywhere, and amidst the snowy expanse, one divine weapon after another unleashed immense power, striking from afar.

Everything shattered at the spot where Qin Mu stood. Yu Wufei's cultivation method was peculiar; she did not bring these women for appearance, but because her technique allowed her to merge their magical power, greatly amplifying her own.

She was already at the Numinous Sky Realm. With the cultivation of all the women reaching the Jade Capital and Numinous Sky Realms, her magical power approached that of an Emperor Seat powerhouse.

Earlier, she hadn't activated her full power, underestimating Qin Mu's youth and lower cultivation realm. She had intended to pierce him with a single finger and finish him off. However, she was startled when Qin Mu's vertical eye in his forehead directly blasted her finger apart, leaving only the bone.

Now genuinely enraged, she erupted with full power, giving Qin Mu no chance to exploit any weakness.

However, once the terrifying tremor subsided, Yu Wufei scanned the surroundings but found no trace of Qin Mu.

"He escaped!"

Yu Wufei sharply shook the white dragon, which coiled around her arm. She took a step forward, just about to see where Qin Mu had fled, when a bright light suddenly shone down from the sky.

Yu Wufei sharply looked up, seeing a flame-like light in the sky. It was the light from Qin Mu's vertical eye, shining down upon her. Even she felt her soul tremble.

"The Book of Life and Death!"

Yu Wufei was startled. The Book of Life and Death was a treasure forged by the Yin Heavenly Son for the Celestial Court, used to control the life and death of all beings in the myriad heavens and worlds. Anyone illuminated by it would have their name and image revealed. Canceling their death registry could grant immortality, while a stroke of the vermilion brush could take a life.

However, the Book of Life and Death was incredibly difficult to forge; the Yin Heavenly Son had spent tens of thousands of years to create only nine volumes. Yet, Qin Mu was not using a Book of Life and Death to illuminate them, but rather his own eyes.

"His eyes are the Book of Life and Death! Even the Yin Heavenly Son hasn't cultivated to this level. What exactly is that eye in his forehead? Why is its power so immense?"

Yu Wufei hastily activated her cultivation method to counter the Book of Life and Death, but it was a moment too late. Two Jade Capital Realm women in her Heavenly Palace were instantly illuminated by the light, their life registries canceled, and they died without a sound.

Yu Wufei soared into the air, her white dragon whip coiling outwards. The whip transformed in mid-air, growing larger, longer, and thicker, its dragon roar like rolling thunder as it lunged at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu met the attack head-on, but to his surprise, Yu Wufei's magical power was exceptionally formidable. Moreover, the white dragon whip was no ordinary weapon; it was a Numinous Sky Realm white dragon refined into a weapon, which she had long cultivated and could manipulate at will. With a single whip strike, Qin Mu's palms were left bleeding profusely from the white dragon's inverse scales.

The blow knocked Qin Mu from the air, sending his body spinning like a top, unable to stabilize himself.

As his feet touched the ground, the earth within a hundred-mile radius suddenly twisted, as if an invisible force had braided all the land and rocks in the area.

The twisted ground rapidly rose, forming a sharp cone that pierced straight into the sky.

Qin Mu used this peculiar method to neutralize the spiral force from Yu Wufei's white dragon whip. He then abruptly pointed at his forehead, where a divine sword rapidly spun, its tip resembling a drill bit.

"Calamity-Opening Sword!"

Qin Mu's vertical eye in his forehead opened, and the Calamity-Opening Sword shot through the air towards Yu Wufei.

Simultaneously, a divine light from his vertical eye closely followed the sword.

From her elevated position, Yu Wufei looked down. Her white dragon whip, stretching for hundreds of miles, coiled around her, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. The whip suddenly formed a series of spirals, not actively engaging Qin Mu's Calamity-Opening Sword light, but allowing it to pass directly through the spirals.

As the Calamity-Opening Sword entered the white dragon whip's spirals, countless runes suddenly appeared on the white dragon's scales, sequentially reflecting onto the rapidly moving sword light.

In an instant, the Calamity-Opening Sword light pierced through layer after layer of white dragon spirals, reaching Yu Wufei's forehead at the end of the formation.

Yu Wufei raised her other hand, and with a light clamp of her index and middle fingers, she caught the Calamity-Opening Sword. She sneered, "The Calamity-Opening Sword, which no one can break, hasn't it been easily broken by me?"

As she spoke, her expression dramatically changed. The light that closely followed the Calamity-Opening Sword instantly activated the power of the broken sword, causing the Calamity-Opening Sword light to surge once more and pierce into her forehead.

Yu Wufei shrieked and hastily turned her head. The sword light sliced from her forehead to her right temple, nearly ripping off her skull.

Yu Wufei was both shocked and enraged. The white dragon whip coiled towards Qin Mu, and through the white dragon spirals, Yu Wufei could clearly see Qin Mu's every movement.

Just as the white dragon whip coiled towards Qin Mu, she saw Qin Mu bow towards her.

Yu Wufei's hair stood on end; she immediately knew something was amiss.

This was the Yin Heavenly Son's technique.

The Yin Heavenly Son, always with a dagger hidden in his smile, would often use a bow to sever the souls of others. If an opponent was even slightly careless, they would fall victim, their soul shattering into pieces, resulting in a violent death.

And Qin Mu evidently possessed this same ability.

As Qin Mu bowed, Yu Wufei instantly felt disoriented. Her primordial spirit crackled, and an incredibly terrifying tearing force emanated from her three souls and seven spirits, nearly ripping her soul apart.

Although Yu Wufei could withstand it, the goddess generals in her Heavenly Palace could not. With Qin Mu's single bow, five Jade Capital Realm women instantly had their three souls split and seven spirits shattered.

The other Numinous Sky Realm women managed to protect their primordial spirits, but their primordial spirits were still severely damaged by the bow.

Yu Wufei laughed, exasperated. From behind the white dragon spirals, she bowed back. A loud bang resonated from within Qin Mu's body, and a column of green smoke shot straight up from the top of his head.

Yu Wufei was startled that she, using the Yin Heavenly Son's technique, was unable to bow Qin Mu to death. He had blocked the attack with his incredibly formidable primordial spirit.

But the next moment, the spirals formed by the white dragon whip had already locked Qin Mu, binding him tightly and preventing his escape.

Yu Wufei sneered. Seizing the opportunity while Qin Mu was bound, she consecutively bowed to him more than ten times.

"I refuse to believe you can block it every single time!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Ten continuous loud bangs resounded. Each bow from her caused green smoke to shoot straight up from Qin Mu's head, piercing through the clouds and beyond.

Even so, Yu Wufei could not bow him to death.

Qin Mu broke free from the white dragon whip. Yu Wufei flew to attack, and the white dragon whip lashed, struck, swung, and vibrated, its dragon mouth opening and claws tearing. It attacked Qin Mu so relentlessly that he couldn't fly, forcing him to continuously retreat along the ground. His sword light crisscrossed, using his blade to counter the white dragon whip.

One of them was in the air, the other on the ground. The white dragon whip moved like lightning, spanning a hundred-mile distance. Qin Mu's sword light, meanwhile, sliced through the void, leaving behind dazzling bright streaks, each with a black line at its center.

These marks were left by his sword, which moved so swiftly it sliced open the void.

From Yu Wufei's Heavenly Palace, more attacks rained down. The various divine weapons from the Underworld were remarkably peculiar: archways, demonic statues, soul-reaping ropes, mountains of blades, and seas of fire, all relentlessly attacking Qin Mu, making him struggle to cope.

There was even one woman whose divine weapon was a red conch. It flew up, wailing, dissipating people's divine souls and seizing their primordial spirits.

Qin Mu fought as he moved, his sword light crisscrossing. He always narrowly forced the white dragon back at the most perilous moments, but he had no time to defend against the other women's divine weapons and was beaten until his skin was torn and flesh exposed.

In the Great Void Land, above the Divine City of the Heavenly Court, many gods patrolled back and forth on the city walls, guarding against sneak attacks.

Additionally, a god from the Heavenly Eye Clan sat atop the city tower. His eight arms were spread open, and a large eyeball grew in the center of each of his eight palms, rolling around to scan in all directions.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Eye Clan god's expression shifted slightly, and he abruptly stood up. "Something's happening!"

Before he finished speaking, the vast area within a hundred-mile radius in front of the Divine City suddenly began to whistle and rotate, growing wildly upwards. In an instant, a spiral mountain range emerged from beneath the earth.
