Chapter 1370: Two Kings and One Emperor

Sisi left quickly with the lantern, a treasure of Moon Heavenly Venerable, which could travel even faster than Heavenly Venerables. When Qin Mu left the lantern, he mentioned that Palace Heavenly Venerable was Heavenly Consort Qiang's natural enemy. He then glanced at Dragon Qilin, and Sisi immediately understood his intention: she was to use the lantern to find Palace Heavenly Venerable, so Dragon Qilin could then send her to the back of the Ancestral Court.

As Sisi passed through Divine Emperor Lang Xuan's territory, she casually glanced down and suddenly saw countless roots flying, forming a massive altar. Divine generals stood in neat formation on the altar, while Divine Emperor Lang Xuan was performing a ritual to reverse a summoning divine ability. Indeed, just as Heavenly Consort Qiang had predicted, it was not difficult for Divine Emperor Lang Xuan to deduce the reverse summoning divine ability. Sisi saw the space distorting and figures on the altar continuously vanishing. Realizing the urgency of the situation, she did not linger.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the Ancestral Court, she used a spirit energy transfer bridge to arrive at the Celestial Heavens. Each of the Ten Heavenly Venerables possessed a spirit energy transfer bridge that led directly to their personal Heavenly Palace. The bridge Sisi took led precisely to Palace Heavenly Venerable's Heavenly Palace within the Celestial Heavens' central court. The moment she stepped off the spirit energy transfer bridge, she was halted by the divine generals guarding the Heavenly Palace.

Sisi announced her presence, stating, "Heavenly Venerable Mu sent me here; I have urgent news for Palace Heavenly Venerable." Soon after, she was led to Palace Heavenly Venerable. Sisi informed her, "Heavenly Venerable Mu was coerced by Heavenly Consort Qiang into going to the back of the Ancestral Court to subdue Dragon Roar."

Palace Heavenly Venerable immediately rose, saying, "That wretch dares to cause such upheaval? Take me to her."

By the time they returned to the Hundred Thousand Black Mountains of the Ancestral Court, Dragon Qilin and the others had already prepared the altar. Palace Heavenly Venerable ascended it, only to see Wei Suifeng, Crown Prince You Ming, and others also standing there. Palace Heavenly Venerable shook her head. "This is a battle for Heavenly Venerables. Can you truly contribute? I can go alone; with more people, I'd only be burdened with looking after you."

Wei Suifeng hesitated. Palace Heavenly Venerable then placed a sand timer, flipped it, and stated calmly, "You all stay here. Once the last grain of sand falls, you will receive news." With that, she nodded to Dragon Qilin, who immediately activated the reverse summoning divine ability, initiating the altar.

Light shone on the altar, and Palace Heavenly Venerable's divine consciousness instantly connected with the distant giant beasts in the Ancestral Court. She quickly understood how this reverse summoning divine ability worked. "So, you build a summoning altar in the target's mind using divine consciousness. How fascinating! Truly worthy of Heavenly Venerable Mu; only he could conceive such an idea. However, thousands of giant beasts wouldn't be enough to summon me. Let's just establish the summoning ability directly through Dragon Roar!"

Dragon Qilin suddenly felt his divine ability severed and was inwardly astonished. Palace Heavenly Venerable had cut off his divine consciousness, replacing it with her own, and was actively searching for the giant beasts on the back of the Ancestral Court. "Palace Heavenly Venerable is truly a formidable woman," Dragon Qilin mused to himself. "No wonder the Cult Master speaks of her with such unconscious admiration."

Meanwhile, on the back of the Ancestral Court, Dragon Roar's nine heads were deep in slumber. His physique was incredibly massive, comparable to beings like Heaven Duke or Earth Count, and only a place like the back of the Ancestral Court could possibly accommodate his enormous body. Countless giant beasts lived and reproduced on his body. Some never left him their entire lives, from birth to adulthood, mating, death, and even decomposition into bones—all occurring upon his colossal form.

Suddenly, Dragon Roar felt a jolt of alertness. He opened his eyes and lifted his heads. The opening of his nine pairs of eyes illuminated the back of the Ancestral Court, making it intensely bright, as if eighteen suns had suddenly appeared in the sky. He sensed an incredibly powerful presence descending into his territory.

Just then, thousands of giant beasts on the back of the Ancestral Court were pulled into the air, involuntarily forming a strange formation in mid-flight. The divine consciousness of the giant beasts was forcibly extracted from their minds by a power originating from another world. Their consciousness then automatically combined, transforming into runes. Countless runes, like the most intricate components of a gigantic machine, automatically converged to form chains of principles! These chains intertwined, constructing an altar! It was the reverse summoning divine ability!

Dragon Roar was filled with surprise and uncertainty. The last time Shu Jun and others had descended, there had been no such commotion. Now, thousands of giant beasts were being drawn together to form a summoning altar! Just then, countless more giant beasts were pulled into the sky, automatically forming another altar! Divine devils emerged one after another, appearing on the back of the Ancestral Court!

"Heh," he scoffed, "Have the so-called Heavenly Venerables arrived? They're truly seeking death!" Dragon Roar stood up, shaking his colossal body, and countless giant beasts immediately tumbled off him. He was the god of the Creators, the beast god whom they intended to use to restrain and punish the ancient gods. He possessed boundless power and the most robust physical body. It had been a long time since he had truly taken action! When he opened his eyes, it was day; when he closed them, it was night. When he moved, the entire back of the Ancestral Court would be engulfed in thunder and lightning, and hurricanes would sweep through. Now, he was finally going to display his power.

The power of the first reverse summoning divine ability fully bloomed, bringing Qin Mu and Heavenly Consort Qiang to the back of the Ancestral Court. Heavenly Consort Qiang's beautiful eyes first swept over the colossal rising figure, then turned towards the distant eruption point of another reverse summoning divine ability. "So Divine Emperor Lang Xuan has indeed arrived," Heavenly Consort Qiang noted. She frowned, sneering, "Grand Emperor tries to snatch everything from me—power, status, women—and now even his son wants to take what's mine! They truly don't know their place!"

Qin Mu took a step back and said calmly, "Divine Emperor Lang Xuan is the illegitimate son of Divine King Gong Yun and Heavenly Emperor Tai Chu. From birth, he was blessed with boundless glory by the Heavenly Emperor and the ancient gods, becoming the first demigod and the leader of all demigods. Now, he is even a Heavenly Venerable. If Divine King Gong Yun and Grand Emperor's son were still alive, he would surely be no less formidable than him, wouldn't he?"

Just then, the other reverse summoning divine ability burst forth with an incredibly intense light, as Divine Emperor Lang Xuan descended, accompanied by Earth Mother Sovereign! "What is Grand Emperor, anyway?"

The divine light around Heavenly Consort Qiang intensified, and her figure vanished in an instant, reappearing next to the newly arrived Divine Emperor Lang Xuan. Her divine consciousness erupted and surged forward. Divine Emperor Lang Xuan's face drastically changed. He decisively grabbed Earth Mother Sovereign, using her to block the incoming divine consciousness. Simultaneously, Heavenly Palaces leaped forth from behind his head, forming a Grand Celestial Heavens that boosted his cultivation and power to their absolute peak.

In an instant, that formidable divine consciousness bypassed Earth Mother and struck his glabella, destabilizing his primordial spirit! While his divine consciousness was formidable, it paled in comparison to hers. He instantly recognized the newcomer, his face drastically changing. "Grand Emperor—Heavenly Venerable Mu was right, you were indeed hidden among the Ten Heavenly Venerables!" His figure flew backward, but though defeated, he was not in disarray. He immediately unleashed the "Divine Origin Finger," whose power Heavenly Consort Qiang had long witnessed and deeply understood, prompting her to immediately evade.

Divine Emperor Lang Xuan stabilized himself, his primordial spirit floating behind him, rising high into the sky on the back of the Ancestral Court, obscuring the heavens. He sneered, "Grand Emperor, you escaped last time. Where can you flee to this time? As fellow Ten Heavenly Venerables, we have always followed Heavenly Venerable Hao, and direct clashes among us have been rare. Now, perhaps it's time to see who is truly the supreme Heavenly Venerable!"

In the distance, Dragon Roar saw his primordial spirit, and his face couldn't help but change drastically. "This Heavenly Venerable seems to possess true ability..." Still brimming with immense self-confidence, he strode forward, crossing mountains and seas, heading toward them.

Suddenly, the two Heavenly Venerables clashed once more, unleashing terrifying divine abilities. The resulting shockwaves swept in all directions, and as Dragon Roar's body was hit, cracks immediately appeared on his dragon scales. Dragon Roar was shocked to his core, and his nine heads roared in fury. He simultaneously launched deadly attacks at the two Heavenly Venerables!

After a few exchanges, his body was sent flying backward. His mind was in a daze. "Are they really that strong? No, my body is too big! Shrink!" His body shrank, and he charged forward again. Heavenly Consort Qiang and Divine Emperor Lang Xuan, their focus solely on each other in their fierce contention, largely ignored his assaults. Their occasional evasions caused him to lose track of them, and when truly pressed, they simply sent Dragon Roar flying.

"This beast truly never learns!" Seeing him still pestering them, Heavenly Consort Qiang and Divine Emperor Lang Xuan each let out a cold laugh. Two surges of divine consciousness erupted and simultaneously pressed down. Dragon Roar's nine heads grew dazed and confused, his divine consciousness almost unusable. Only then did he realize the true terror. "Heavenly Venerables are too strong; they're not like that weakling, Heavenly Venerable Mu!"

He immediately realized his mistake and was about to escape when an even vaster and deeper divine consciousness suddenly locked onto him, manipulating his own consciousness to form a summoning divine ability within his mind! Dragon Roar's nine heads roared, and he felt a profound fear wash over him.

Meanwhile, Qin Mu leisurely approached the divine consciousness cage, looked at the people inside, and smiled, "Are you all well?"
