Chapter 1251: The Strongest in the World

In the vast and boundless Taixu Realm, part of the High Heavens Continent, at this very moment, whether they were the gods and devils of the Celestial Heavens, the god and devil warriors of Carefree Village and the High Heavens, or even the demon gods within the Taixu Netherworld, all simultaneously raised their heads and looked towards the same place.

From there, an incredibly terrifying tremor emanated, as if a colossal, world-shattering beast was wantonly unleashing energy, shattering Taixu and destroying this world created by the High Heavens.

That power was so immense and terrifying that it filled their hearts with dread and awe.

They could feel the cataclysmic fluctuations rapidly approaching, surging towards the Taixu Realm, and spreading at an astonishing speed.

Even beings at the Emperor's Throne realm changed their expressions drastically, as the fluctuations were simply too strong and too fast, beyond their comprehension. No divine art could possibly achieve such speed!

The only possible explanation for such speed was that Taixu was disintegrating!

At the Celestial Heavens camp, on the city walls of Dongluo Divine City, Second Heavenly Master Meng Yungui looked up at the void beyond the heavens, his face pale and ashen. Like the soldiers under his command, his heart was now filled with nothing but terror.

“Wisdom is no match for divine arts, wisdom is no match for divine arts…” he murmured.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Xiluo Command became restless and noisy. Meng Yungui hurriedly moved to stabilize the morale of his troops. Just then, he saw the sky tear open, and colossal figures streamed into the Taixu Realm.

“Corpse Walkers! They are Corpse Walkers from the Collapsing Void!” someone cried out.

These Corpse Walkers were High Heavens beings who had died in battle during the Grand Emperor's last invasion. Although dead, the lingering obsession in their corpses caused them to continuously wander the Collapsing Void, searching for their homeland.

However, Corpse Walkers were unable to enter this Taixu Realm. They would only cycle endlessly, repeatedly pacing back and forth in the Collapsing Void.

But now, the Corpse Walkers had actually surged into the Taixu Realm!

Those towering giants descended from the heavens, trailing flames. One after another, they crashed to the ground with thunderous impact, collapsing mountains and lying motionless where they fell.

These Corpse Walkers were scattered throughout the Taixu Realm, some landing in Celestial Heavens territory, others in Carefree Village territory.

A moment later, Meng Yungui summoned a team of scouts and instructed them: “Go immediately to the nearest Corpse Walker crash site, investigate, and report back to me!”

The team of god and devil scouts accepted the order and immediately flew off. Before they even reached the fallen Corpse Walker, they suddenly saw it lying on the ground in a grotesque posture, crouching among the mountains, its eyes ghastly pale. It abruptly opened its mouth and let out a piercing scream!

The god and devil scouts were left disoriented by the scream, but then saw countless ownerless divine consciousnesses surge like a mad tide from the Corpse Walker's mouth!

“Divine consciousnesses and resentments from the Collapsing Void are hidden within these Corpse Walkers!”

The scouts panicked, turning to flee immediately. Many were too slow to escape, caught by the spiritual tide, and countless inner demons were instantly born, tearing them to shreds!

Meanwhile, the Corpse Walker, with its limbs splayed on the ground and joints twisted, rapidly chased after the other scouts, surrounded by hideous and terrifying inner demons both in front and behind it.

And throughout the Taixu Realm, such scenes were commonplace.

The four-limbed crawling Corpse Walkers, accompanied by countless inner demons, surged towards the formidable passes built by the High Heavens, Carefree Village, and the Celestial Heavens.

In the sky, one High Heavens corpse after another leaped, falling from beyond the heavens into the Taixu Realm.

They dragged long trails of flame as they crashed into mountains and rivers, then each opened their mouths and let out piercing screams.

The Taixu Realm, for a time, became like a demonic domain.

The direct impact of the battle between the Grand Emperor and Heavenly Venerate Hao had not yet reached the Taixu Realm, but their influence on Taixu had already arrived.

“Qin Fengqing—” Emperor Kai Qin Ye’s voice echoed into the Taixu Netherworld.

The big-headed monster infant, Qin Fengqing, looked up, excitedly observing the chaotic scene in the Taixu Realm.

His childlike voice rang out, reverberating throughout the Taixu Realm.

“Where I am, there is Netherworld!”

“Ah, the resentments of the High Heavens beings from the Primordial Era are my most delicious sustenance!”

At the same time, Heavenly Venerate Xu raised her left hand, unfurling the dark cloak draped over her. The long horns on her head grew larger and longer, transforming into two winding rivers of flowing lava, suppressing the demonic energies throughout the Taixu Realm!

Qin Fengqing, seeing this scene from afar, put his thumb in his mouth and sucked it, muttering: “Why didn't mother give me two horns? That would be so imposing… This woman is beautiful! If I kill her, I’ll pluck off her horns and stick them on my forehead; that would surely look good too!”

Emperor Kai invited Divine King Lang Wo, the clan leaders of the High Heavens, and the Four Heavenly Masters and Four Heavenly Kings. He said: “Our current plan is to first consolidate our forces and be ready to retreat to the Void of the Other Shore at any moment.”

Divine King Lang Wo asked: “Emperor Kai, do you mean that Taixu is very likely to collapse?”

Emperor Kai replied calmly: “I know who is fighting beyond the heavens: Heavenly Venerate Hao, the Grand Emperor, and Divine Weapon Heavenly Venerate Yu. The Grand Emperor is about to be defeated.”

Divine King Lang Wo’s expression subtly changed. She could sense three powerful beings fighting beyond the heavens, and that one of them was indeed the Grand Emperor was beyond doubt.

She could also sense that the Grand Emperor was about to be defeated!

The Grand Emperor was a being she looked up to, one who had dominated the Primordial Era without a single defeat. Even the ancient god Heavenly Emperor had resorted to less than honorable means in his battle with the Grand Emperor.

She hadn't expected Heavenly Venerate Hao to possess the strength to defeat the Grand Emperor!

Emperor Kai, seeing a hint of fear and an unstable Dao heart in her, said: “Heavenly Venerate Hao is my adversary. I realized this as early as the beginning of the Dragon Han Era. If Heavenly Venerate Yu were to rule the world, I would submit. But if it is Heavenly Venerate Hao, I can contend with him for the true orthodoxy of heaven and earth. Divine King, you need not fear him; his only advantage is that he was born over 900,000 years before me.”

Divine King Lang Wo felt somewhat reassured.

Emperor Kai suggested: “In the battle between Heavenly Venerate Hao and the Grand Emperor, the Grand Emperor’s reincarnation among the Ten Heavenly Venerates will certainly not be able to remain still. Currently, Heavenly Venerate Hao has the upper hand against the Grand Emperor, but if that Heavenly Venerate intervenes, the outcome will be fifty-fifty. This might be an opportunity to annihilate both formidable enemies in one fell swoop.”

Lang Wo nodded, and the two walked off side by side.

On the other side, Heavenly Venerate Xu found Heavenly Venerate Huo and said: “The battle beyond the heavens, which is causing Taixu to collapse, must be Heavenly Venerate Hao. The other combatant is either the Heavenly Emperor or the Grand Emperor. Although Heavenly Venerate Hao is sure to win, it's hard to guarantee that no other variables will arise. We need to go there quickly!”

Heavenly Venerate Huo said: “Now is the best time to flatten Taixu. Why don't we seize this opportunity to destroy Carefree Village?”

Heavenly Venerate Xu smiled: “Once Heavenly Venerate Hao wins, flattening Carefree Village will be even easier. There’s no need to rush.”

The two Heavenly Venerates immediately left the Taixu Realm and arrived at the Collapsing Void beyond the heavens.

They saw countless more corpses of Taixu High Heavens beings fleeing from the Collapsing Void, their bodies stiff, jumping straight into the Taixu Realm and plummeting towards the ground.

“No wonder these High Heavens beings were destined for extinction.”

Heavenly Venerate Huo shook his head and said: “They possessed immense power and wantonly destroyed the natural order of heaven and earth. Even after death, they don't rest. It's quite inhumane.”

Suddenly, the expressions of both Heavenly Venerates changed simultaneously. They sensed that Heavenly Venerate Hao and Divine Weapon Heavenly Venerate Yu had manifested another Celestial Palace! The Thirty-fifth Celestial Palace!

“Heavenly Venerate Hao is truly an unparalleled sagacious ruler…”

Heavenly Venerate Huo murmured: “This is precisely why I wholeheartedly assist him. It’s a pity that Heavenly Venerate Yun and Heavenly Venerate Yue simply don’t understand my good intentions. Only by relying on such a sagacious ruler can humanity survive in this world.”

He shook his head.

Heavenly Venerate Xu’s gaze fell upon him: “Heavenly Venerate Huo, did you impart your cultivation method to Heavenly Venerate Hao? Otherwise, he couldn’t be so powerful, nor could he have cultivated the Thirty-fifth Celestial Palace so quickly!”

Heavenly Venerate Huo replied earnestly: “He asked for it, and I couldn't refuse.”
