Chapter 1323: Five Minerals Great Seal

"At the end of the Dao Realm, above the Great Luo Heaven, is it when one's own Great Dao sprouts Dao flowers and bears Dao fruits on the World Tree?"

Qin Mu had no time to think further. The divine art in his hands transformed, "Dragon Han Yet Contend," bursting forth with the vastness and brutality of the Dragon Han era. His "Crimson Brightness Divine Body Absolute" made his physical body and primordial spirit tightly integrated, unifying spirit and flesh, and divine essence and flesh.

The Human Dao of the Overlord was perfected, opening the Empress's Post-Heaven Path, and with the "Yankang Began to Contend" technique, the power of a great divine art exploded. It was as if, in a brief moment, he had traversed a million years of history from the Dragon Han era to the present, experiencing the poignant, heroic, and soul-stirring history of generations of ancestors and martyrs!

At this moment, his essence, qi, and spirit reached an unprecedented peak!

Even so, any of his divine arts that touched the Grand Emperor's Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven immediately disintegrated, their power vanishing.

The Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven could be said to be the most perfect divine art Qin Mu had ever seen, even more perfect, outstanding, and incredible than Heaven Sovereign Hao's Primordial Qi and the Great Dao of the Ruins!

The power of Dao flowers and Dao fruits gave an irresistible feeling.

Only now did he understand why Heaven Sovereign Hao's primordial spirit, once trapped within the Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven, could not escape!

The Grand Emperor's comprehension of the Dao of Divine Consciousness completely surpassed that of beings like Heaven Sovereign Hao. Since Heaven Sovereign Hao's Dao Realm had not reached the Grand Emperor's level, he could not break free with his own cultivation and could only resort to brute force. But at that time, Heaven Sovereign Hao simply lacked such power.

"If I were trapped in it, I'd likely fare worse than Heaven Sovereign Hao; my physical body and primordial spirit would be dissolved and transformed into the Grand Emperor's Dao of Divine Consciousness!"

Qin Mu let out a long cry, his figure having already entered the thirtieth void.

In the thirtieth void, his physical body and primordial spirit were subjected to immense suppression. It was an extremely perilous void, basically reaching his limit.

His physical body began to collapse, becoming ethereal, his skin separating from his body.

Yet at this very moment, with the execution of the "Yankang Began to Contend" technique, his essence, qi, and spirit also reached an unprecedented peak, breaking through again and again, repeatedly surpassing his own limits!

"Grand Prime Suddenly Opens the Chaos Bud!"

He suddenly became somewhat clumsy, and the divine arts in his hands became uncoordinated. He shakily unleashed the divine art of the twenty-second heaven.

As "Grand Prime Suddenly Opens the Chaos Bud" was performed, the Dao of Grand Prime transformed into a spherical egg, falling into the Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven.

Just as this divine art entered the Great Luo Heaven, the spherical egg suddenly burst open. The Dao of Grand Prime surged out, transforming into a divine maiden. With a palm outstretched, the entire Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven became murky and chaotic.

The Dao of Grand Prime, tangible and substantial, saw the Grand Prime divine maiden point one finger to the sky and another to the earth, causing clear qi to ascend and turbid qi to descend.

The Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven immediately became sluggish in its operation.

Qin Mu's body continued to retreat, drifting higher into the thirtieth void. He found it difficult to control his body now, as if the void was etherealizing him, pulling him towards even higher voids.

His arms flailed, vital qi transforming into various Great Dao runes, but he appeared even clumsier.

His hand seals finally formed. The vertical eye in his glabella opened, emitting two rays of light, one black and one white, as he unleashed the divine art of the twenty-third heaven of the Dao Realm: "Taiji Evolution, Yin-Yang Movement!"

*Buzz*

This gaze shot into the Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven. Yin and Yang qi swirled around the Grand Prime divine maiden, destroying the Dao flowers, causing the Dao fruits to fall off, and the Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven collapsed and disintegrated.

A look of shock and disbelief appeared on the Grand Emperor's face. He gnashed his teeth, approached swiftly, and struck out a palm towards Qin Mu.

Qin Mu's body continued to ascend, nearing the thirty-first void. That void was a place he absolutely could not reach; if he were to arrive there, his physical body and primordial spirit would inevitably be completely etherealized, ceasing to exist.

Yet now, as he fully confronted the Grand Emperor at this critical juncture, he could not control his own body.

A terrifying force in the void seemed to be supporting him, causing him to continue rising.

This was somewhat similar to his divine art, "Great Luo Heaven Gathering Perfection," which borrowed the power of the void to simulate the Great Luo Heaven, etherealizing divine beings into thin, two-dimensional paper, ultimately turning them into nothingness.

And in the thirtieth void, the power of the void was so immense that even he found it difficult to resist!

The Grand Emperor's palm strike reached him. The Grand Emperor did not intend to kill him, but rather to force him into the thirty-first void, allowing the void to obliterate him!

While his shattering of the Grand Emperor's Divine Consciousness Great Luo Heaven had indeed shocked the Grand Emperor, it also revealed to the Grand Emperor a hope of killing him.

His body had already begun to flatten, his physical form slowly losing its thickness, uncontrollably drifting higher.

At this very moment, Qin Mu clumsily channeled a divine art. This technique was crooked and distorted, utterly unlike the elegant divine arts usually unleashed by a Heavenly Venerable who established the Dao through divine arts.

As a Heavenly Venerable who established the Dao through divine arts, Qin Mu's techniques had always embodied grandeur and the beauty of the Dao. Yet, this particular technique completely lacked such Great Dao aesthetics!

However, at that moment, a resounding Dao sound rang out, as if countless billions of sentient beings and all gods had appeared simultaneously, calling out the same name in unison:

The Dao of Grand Beginning.

Tangible yet insubstantial.

Divine Art Entering Dao, Twenty-fourth Heaven: "Grand Beginning Form Questions the Azure Heavens!"

Qin Mu struck out with his palm, meeting the Grand Emperor's hand. As their palms collided, the Grand Emperor smiled.

Immediately, his smile froze, transforming into horror.

The horror on his face intensified. He saw the flesh and blood of his palm peel away backward, the matter forming his hand seemingly transforming into countless particles rapidly moving away from him.

The same phenomenon occurred with his arm; the tiny, visible particles, like a mist, flew backward, quickly spreading to his shoulder, his chest, his other arm, and his legs!

He stood there, feeling that his body was still present and complete, but without bones or flesh!

His body below the neck became a transparent form, retaining only shape but no substance!

His vital qi, his Divine Consciousness Great Luo Palace, and his seven divine treasures all turned into a strange state that was tangible yet insubstantial!

Only his head, being his true essence, was not assimilated by Qin Mu's palm strike.

After all, the Grand Emperor's physical body was a supreme form, forged through his own relentless refinement and the worship of countless creators. Although Qin Mu's great divine art was exquisitely brilliant, it could not dissolve his head instantly.

Even though his head could not be dissolved, the vital qi within it was, and his divine consciousness became unstable, growing increasingly weak!

Suddenly, Qin Mu's hand clenched into a fist and heavily slammed into the gaping hole in the Grand Emperor's glabella. This punch was mighty and unstoppable in its martial power, pulverizing his brain into a pulp and scattering his divine consciousness!

The Grand Emperor's head fell from the thirtieth void, plummeting with a crash. It smashed through the twenty-ninth void, then the twenty-eighth, creating one large hole after another through successive layers of void.

The Grand Emperor's eyes were dim and his vision blurred. He vaguely saw Qin Mu's body etherealize and ascend into the thirty-first void.

"Heavenly Venerable Mu is still dead, and I am still alive..." he thought to himself.

Just then, he saw Qin Mu, who had ascended into the thirty-first void, take out a large, spherical egg from between his eyebrows.

The Grand Emperor's face showed confusion.

*Boom, boom, boom—*

His head continued to smash through successive layers of void, falling from the sky and plunging into the land of the ancestral court. It then rolled several times, landing on a barren plain, startling the surrounding primeval giant beasts, which scattered in all directions.

As his head came to a stop, he heard thunderous roars echoing from the depths of the void. A fiery light descended from the sky and slammed heavily next to him. Countless shattered rocks flew in all directions, while the breathing earth soared into the air, expanding to form floating landmasses that were carried far away by the strong winds.

Amidst the swirling dust, the Grand Emperor saw Qin Mu's ragged body not far away, kneeling on one knee with his palm pressed against the ground.

"Five Mines Great Seal!" Qin Mu suddenly looked up, his three eyes blazing with light.
