Chapter 1342: Exiling Dawn Heavenly Sovereign

The first string flew out from behind his neck, followed by the second, third, and fourth!

Ten consecutive strings then sliced through Celestial Venerable Xiao's throat, forehead, lower neck, eyes, chest, waist, vital gate, hip bones, knee joints, and ankle joints.

Celestial Venerable Xiao's skull flew up, and the rest of his body was torn apart by surging vital energy, only to forcibly reassemble itself instantly.

Through the Gate of Bearing Heavens, Earth Count's massive palm slammed down, pulverizing his physical body into a paste.

Celestial Venerable Yue let out a sigh of relief, as did Earth Count in Youdu. Celestial Venerable You, who had come from Youdu to the base of the tree, also sighed in relief at the sight.

At that moment, Celestial Venerable Xiao's flesh writhed and regenerated. He reached out, grabbed the Primordial Tree, and swung it. An incredibly terrifying power erupted from the Primordial Tree, causing all the heavens to tremble and all worlds to roar.

The entire Primordial World contained tens of thousands of heavens. Even the most oblivious beings in these heavens sensed that this night (or day) was out of the ordinary.

The heavens they resided in were rapidly shifting, stars were chaotic, the earth was shaking, volcanoes were erupting, hurricanes were howling, and the seas were churning with raging tides and successive tsunamis.

They were unaware that this astonishing devastation was caused by a Celestial Venerable using immense magical power to wield the Primordial Tree, moving the heavens themselves.

Whoosh—A single strike from the Primordial Tree sent Celestial Venerable You flying, leaving him airborne and uncontrollably spitting blood.

Having succeeded with one blow, Celestial Venerable Xiao aimed the Primordial Tree like a sword and lunged at Celestial Venerable Yue.

Celestial Venerable Yue rapidly retreated, her form leaping through various spaces. In an instant, she traversed multiple heavens to evade the Primordial Tree's attack. To her shock, however, the space across all the heavens and myriad worlds was in chaos. No matter how many worlds she passed through, the Primordial Tree's canopy remained directly in front of her.

Swish, swish, swish—Innumerable branches of the Primordial Tree surged like swords, stabbing towards her. Celestial Venerable Yue unleashed her spatial divine abilities, creating a rapid rhythm of string music that collided with the assaulting canopy of the Primordial Tree.

However, the sword technique Celestial Venerable Xiao employed for this attack originated from Eternal Peace. It was a refined technique, improved by Eternal Peace's Imperial Preceptor and Qin Mu, encompassing everything from Sword Fourteen to Sword Nineteen.

Even though Celestial Venerable Yue was proficient in the Dao of space, she struggled to defend against such fierce and ever-changing swordplay.

Her figure smashed through various heavens, flying above them. Behind her, millions of greenish-blue sword energies stretched across the sky like dancing flood dragons, astonishingly vast enough to span entire heavens.

Celestial Venerable Yue tilted her head, and with a soft hiss, a Primordial Tree branch grazed her cheek, leaving a wound.

Just as she was about to be overwhelmed, Earth Count's attack arrived behind Celestial Venerable Xiao. The giant hand transformed into a fist, poised to shatter Celestial Venerable Xiao once more.

Celestial Venerable Xiao pulled back the Primordial Tree, its roots condensing into an immensely massive black hammer. It swung once, meeting Earth Count's fist.

Their combined powers erupted. Earth Count, far away in Youdu, frowned as his colossal fist crumbled into countless fissuring continents.

"Old brother," Celestial Venerable Xiao roared, "without your true body here, you are no match for me and Earth Mother! Fighting you across realms is utterly boring. Why not engage in a true duel?"

Celestial Venerable Xiao roared, wielding the Primordial Tree's roots as a hammer. It pierced through the Gate of Bearing Heavens, smashing fiercely towards Earth Count.

Earth Count's third eye on his forehead opened, revealing true anger. The countless continents formed by his shattered right hand flew back together, re-forming his palm. He reached out, and the long-lost River of the Underworld reappeared.

Earth Count flicked the River of the Underworld like a whip, preparing to fight, when suddenly, another divine artifact floating in Youdu, Celestial Venerable Yu, opened its eyes and gazed at him.

Earth Count's heart leaped. "My daughter has noticed this!"

As he guarded against Celestial Venerable Xu's divine artifact, Celestial Venerable Yu, the Primordial Tree's great hammer slammed down fiercely.

Just as Celestial Venerable Xiao was about to succeed, Celestial Venerable Yue suddenly appeared above him, upside down, like a rapidly descending immortal maiden. Her sashes fluttered as her fingers moved, and with a series of sharp twangs, luminous strings crisscrossed in all directions, weaving into a net that completely sealed the area.

More luminous strings intertwined, forming countless spatial cross-sections, like a labyrinth.

"Celestial Venerable Xiao, today I shall banish you!"

Celestial Venerable Yue's palm fell onto the first string. As the initial note sounded, all the luminous strings vibrated in unison, unleashing the five tones and twelve pitches simultaneously!

The countless spatial cross-sections became chaotic. With a whoosh, violent spatial turbulence swept Celestial Venerable Xiao and the Primordial Tree deep into space.

Swish, swish, swish, immensely thick roots shot out from the chaotic space, anchoring themselves into the ground of the Primordial World. The twelve pitches of the zither music were disordered within the chaotic space, yet they could not entirely banish the Primordial Tree into it.

Celestial Venerable Xiao stood on the Primordial Tree, rushing along its roots. Just as he was about to leap out of the chaotic space, Celestial Venerable You suddenly appeared at the mouth of the disordered spatial rift, holding a horse lantern. He shone the light onto Celestial Venerable Xiao.

An incredibly terrifying force impacted Celestial Venerable Xiao's primordial spirit, forcing it out of his physical body!

Celestial Venerable Xiao roared, forcibly pulling his primordial spirit back.

Celestial Venerable You gritted his teeth, desperately channeling power into the horse lantern. The light grew brighter and brighter, yet Celestial Venerable Xiao's primordial spirit stubbornly resisted the lantern's assault, approaching his physical body step by step.

Meanwhile, on the roots, Celestial Venerable Xiao's physical body also began to move, advancing step by step along the thick roots.

Celestial Venerable Yue descended in front of the spatial rift. Her skirt fanned out as she sat on the ground. A palace ruin flew over, shrinking into an ancient zither.

Celestial Venerable Yue played the zither before the rift, unleashing countless attacks that rained down upon Celestial Venerable Xiao's physical body and primordial spirit.

Celestial Venerable Xiao shrieked, suddenly manifesting three heads and six arms. His primordial spirit also appeared with three heads and six arms. Both his physical body and primordial spirit would reassemble instantly after being damaged, new parts growing as old ones fell off, astonishing both Celestial Venerable Yue and Celestial Venerable You beyond measure!

"Even the combined Red Emperor and Bright Emperor might not be able to achieve this!" both thought to themselves simultaneously.

Celestial Venerable Xiao bravely withstood the attacks of the two Celestial Venerables, slowly advancing outwards.

"Where is Earth Count?" Celestial Venerable Yue called out loudly.

Celestial Venerable You gritted his teeth. "He's been held back by Celestial Venerable Xu!"

Celestial Venerable Yue's heart sank. Earth Count couldn't manifest his true body or provide assistance. Relying solely on the two of them, they might not be able to banish Celestial Venerable Xiao. He might even break out of the chaotic space and severely injure them!

"Mu'er, don't go!"Apothecary's voice arrived, startling Celestial Venerable Yue and Celestial Venerable You. Suddenly, a headless Qin Mu flew in, the peachwood hairpin in his hand pointing at Celestial Venerable Xiao, who was about to burst out of the chaotic space.

Celestial Venerable Xiao's heart jolted. His body rapidly retreated, and the Primordial Tree's roots swiftly withdrew from the ground of the Primordial World.

He, along with his primordial spirit and the Primordial Tree, was sent into the chaotic space, disappearing without a trace.

Celestial Venerable Yue sighed in relief. She straightened up, placed the ancient zither aside, and with a sweep of her flowing sleeve, the entrance to the chaotic space vanished, and the space became smooth again.

Qin Mu still pointed at the vanished entrance to the chaotic space, looking formidable, though his head was missing.

Apothecary hurriedly flew over, examining Qin Mu's neck and complaining, "Your neck is covered in Dao injuries left by Celestial Venerable Xiao, and you're still running around!"

"I'm fine!"Qin Mu stiffened his neck, a voice resonating from his chest: "Yue'er, where is my eggshell? Give me the eggshell; I'll send Celestial Venerable Xiao back into his egg!"

"Celestial Venerable Xiao has already been banished by Celestial Venerable Yue," Apothecary said helplessly. "Also, don't talk to the air; I'm here, and Celestial Venerable Yue is behind you. This injury of yours... it's a bit difficult to treat..."
