Chapter 1557: Six Billion Years of Invincibility

That was the Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven.

In primeval times, countless Creation Spirits sacrificed to Grand Emperor, making his physical body and divine sense incredibly powerful, breaking through all limits. With the worship of all races, Grand Emperor imprinted the ultimate void with his divine sense, forming the Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven. Dao trees grew, Dao flowers bloomed, and Dao fruits formed, granting him immortality from then on.

However, his cultivation was gained through sacrifice, not through his own practice. His understanding of the Dao of Divine Sense only reached the Thirty-Fifth Heaven, so his Dao fruit remained green and could never mature.

He was secretly plotted against by the Primordial Saint of Miluo Palace. When exploring Ancestral Court Jade Capital City, he and Grand Beginning encountered the Scent-Embroidered Palace. After subduing this palace, they discovered the Primordial Saint of Miluo Palace inside—a powerful individual who had survived two great catastrophes of destruction. Grand Emperor and the others then paid homage to the Primordial Saint. The Primordial Saint harbored ill intentions, following the path of Dao Attainment through Faith, intending for Grand Emperor and the others to believe in him to help him descend.

Grand Emperor and the others were trapped in the Scent-Embroidered Palace, unable to escape. They finally relied on Grand Beginning's power to break free and sealed the Scent-Embroidered Palace along with the Primordial Saint of Miluo Palace. At that time, the Primordial Saint had taught Grand Emperor the Dao of Faith, but he deliberately plotted against Grand Emperor, providing an incomplete teaching.

Grand Emperor integrated the Dao of Faith with the Dao of Divine Sense, allowing the primeval Creation Spirits to sacrifice to him. This enabled his divine sense to directly reach and reside in the ultimate void. However, because the Primordial Saint's teaching was incomplete, he was polluted by the sacrificial power of the Creation Spirit race and could never advance further.

His goal was not just the Celestial Emperor's physical body, but also Enlightened Celestial Venerable, and the Dao of Grand Beginning! Qin Mu, Kai Huang, Hao Celestial Venerable, and Enlightened Celestial Venerable were engaged in fierce combat for the Celestial Emperor's body and to eliminate him. But wasn't he also waiting for this very opportunity to devour Enlightened Celestial Venerable and transform his own divine sense into the Dao of Grand Beginning? Qin Mu and Kai Huang wanted to eliminate him; Enlightened Celestial Venerable and Hao Celestial Venerable wanted to devour him. Yet, he too was waiting for this chance to achieve his own perfection!

And now, the opportunity had finally arrived!

Kai Huang, wielding his sword, fought fiercely with Enlightened Celestial Venerable. One had achieved Dao Attainment through the Dao Realm, the other through Force. Enlightened Celestial Venerable held the advantage of more profound cultivation and the astonishing power of the Dao of Grand Beginning. Kai Huang, however, had the advantage of deeper cultivation in the Dao Realm, resulting in stronger offensive power. It was difficult for either of them to kill the other in a single move. Although Enlightened Celestial Venerable was at a disadvantage, as long as Kai Huang couldn't kill him, he would rely on the mysteries of the Dao of Grand Beginning to recover. Kai Huang, on the other hand, used his sword dao to cleave heaven and earth, destroying Enlightened Celestial Venerable's Grand Beginning primordial qi and weakening his cultivation.

As for Qin Mu's side, it was purely a clash of strength and divine abilities. The Celestial Emperor's physical body was mighty, and Qin Mu's divine abilities were exceptional. Hao Celestial Venerable, having cultivated in the Purple霄 Palace, had drastically changed his divine abilities and techniques. Their struggle was also in a stalemate, making it difficult to determine a victor quickly. However, Qin Mu, leveraging the Celestial Emperor's stronger body (which wasn't his own), employed a "life for a life" fighting style regardless of Hao Celestial Venerable's divine abilities or techniques. Hao Celestial Venerable struggled immensely and gnashed his teeth in frustration.

Just as both sides were sustaining injuries, suddenly, a chilling, desolate wind howled down. The entire heavens abruptly stretched infinitely, and everything became incredibly thin! These heavens became increasingly flattened, as if stretched to a point of having no thickness! The four were alarmed, feeling their physical bodies and primordial spirits transform as the cold wind blew over them. Their bodies flattened and stretched in all directions, the material particles making them up extending infinitely from one another! Enlightened Celestial Venerable's body instantly began to expand, spreading outwards, stretched to hundreds of miles wide, and becoming increasingly flat.

"Ultimate Void!" he roared, activating the Great Celestial Court formed by thirty-six Celestial Palaces. His body vibrated, forcibly retracting his physical form to resist the chilling, desolate wind. His body then automatically shrank back, returning to normal. But even though he had ascended to the Celestial Court realm, the influence of the ultimate void on his physical body and primordial spirit persisted, threatening his life and forcing him to forcibly activate Dao arts and divine abilities to resist it!

On the other hand, Kai Huang activated his sword dao, executing sword techniques that formed a sword dao domain around him, also resisting the chilling, desolate wind in the ultimate void. Hao Celestial Venerable also activated his Great Celestial Court, using immense magic power to suppress and resist the ultimate void, his heart filled with awe.

Qin Mu's primordial spirit, hidden within the Celestial Emperor's physical body, didn't feel anything unusual. However, the host body couldn't endure it; as the chilling, desolate wind blew, the physical body instantly became incredibly thin. And it was the same for Ling Celestial Venerable. Her cultivation was lower, not comparable to Qin Mu's, much less to Hao Celestial Venerable, Enlightened Celestial Venerable, or Kai Huang. This chilling, desolate wind immediately began to disintegrate her physical body and primordial spirit.

"Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure Domain!" Qin Mu suddenly roared, and his divine sense domain unfolded. Instantly, a lush World Tree shot up from the ground, propping up a corner of the world within the ultimate void. Ling Celestial Venerable and Qin Mu's physical bodies, now within the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure Domain, immediately stopped their disintegration. Ling Celestial Venerable activated her Immutable Divine Ability, and her physical body and primordial spirit recovered to their original state. She looked around, a mix of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes.

They forcibly suppressed their physical bodies and primordial spirits, but still found it difficult to completely suppress the influence of this chilling, desolate wind! Fortunately, their cultivation was strong enough. Although the chilling, desolate wind had an effect on them, it wouldn't immediately claim their lives. They looked up and saw a Dao tree appear in their center. Its branches were luxuriant, leaves abundant, and its canopy vast. They looked around and could no longer see those heavens; the entire heavens had completely virtualized and ceased to exist!

Grand Emperor's Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven had finally descended!

"No Dao tree, no Dao flower, no Dao fruit – all are mere ants!"

From beneath the Dao tree, a towering Creation Spirit walked out from behind it, laughing heartily. He looked at the group and said leisurely, "I observe you mere ants, contending in a lower world, fighting until your heads bleed. It is truly amusing."

"Juyu Clan!" Enlightened Celestial Venerable snorted.

"Grand Emperor!" Qin Mu's eyes lit up.

Hao Celestial Venerable smiled, eager to try.

Kai Huang stood with his hands behind his back, observing the Dao tree, seemingly ignoring Grand Emperor.

Qin Mu, meanwhile, scrutinized Grand Emperor, praising him incessantly, and chuckled, "Big Brother, is this your Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven? Did you imprint the Dao of Divine Sense onto the ultimate void, thus forming the ultimate Great All-Embracing Heaven? If the Dao of Divine Sense imprints the ultimate void, can one then achieve immortality?" He was full of curiosity and couldn't help but study the mysteries of the ultimate void.

Grand Emperor glanced at him and said leisurely, "Fourth Brother, after you die, I will trap your primordial spirit in the Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven and torment it day and night. You'll have plenty of time to study then, no need to rush now!"

Qin Mu was moved to tears of gratitude, choking out, "Big Brother is truly good to me... Where is Celestial Venerable Yun? Is he also in your Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven?"

Grand Emperor laughed heartily, "He is beneath the roots of my Dao tree, serving as fertilizer. You will meet the same fate, and so will all of you." His eyes gleamed with excitement: "Fourth Brother, I am grateful you brought the Grand Beginning's physical body. Do you know how many years I've waited for this day? I've been waiting ever since you returned to the early years of the Dragon Han era! It has been a million years now! Second Brother, you crossed forty thousand years to offer your own physical body and primordial spirit to me, and I am also very grateful. Once I devour you, I will erect a monument for you."

Enlightened Celestial Venerable smiled faintly, "My heart is also inexplicably thrilled to see my elder brother again."

Grand Emperor burst into laughter. When his laughter subsided, his gaze fell upon Ling Celestial Venerable. He said slowly, "It's also remarkable that you could trap my primordial spirit for forty thousand years. You are the first to break my supreme divine sense domain. I will grant you a good death."

Ling Celestial Venerable pulled out her hairpin.

Grand Emperor was unconcerned. His gaze fell upon the Primordial Essence Goddess, and he sneered, "The egg that served as a dowry back then has now actually hatched. Excellent."

The Primordial Essence Goddess gave a cold smile.

Grand Emperor then looked at Kai Huang Qin Ye and praised, "Your sword dao has just been established; your future is limitless. Unfortunately, you are still one realm below me. Moreover, you have just attained Dao Attainment and do not yet understand the realms beyond it. Coupled with the fact that this is forty thousand years ago, it is truly a pity for you."

Kai Huang's gaze fell on his Dao fruit. He said indifferently, "I am half a realm lower than you. Your Dao fruit is unripe, not yet mature."

Grand Emperor chuckled, "Half a realm is enough to crush you. As for Hao Celestial Venerable..." He smiled faintly, "Also quite good. It's commendable that you've reached this stage with Dao Attainment through Force. Unfortunately, you have not yet imprinted the ultimate void with your own power, so your Dao Attainment through Force is not yet complete. You are three realms behind me: Dao tree, Dao flower, and Dao fruit."

He fully displayed the grandeur of an emperor who had ruled the cosmos for billions of years. He said leisurely, "In my long and boundless lifespan, having interesting individuals like yourselves to play with doesn't make me feel lonely. What a pity, what a true pity for you."

Hao Celestial Venerable suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud and bowed to the Primordial Essence Goddess: "Aunt, may your wishes come true and shatter his Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven!" The Primordial Essence Goddess involuntarily activated the Dao of Primordial Essence. Instantly, the entire Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven became filled with matter, rendering it no longer pure!

The moment Primordial Essence acted, Ling Celestial Venerable immediately activated her Immutable Divine Ability, fixing all matter within the Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven, causing it to fall into an immutable state of matter!

On the other side, Enlightened Celestial Venerable let out a long howl. The Great Celestial Court, formed by thirty-six Celestial Palaces, vibrated, and his primordial spirit slowly rose from within the Celestial Court, activating the Dao of Grand Beginning and striking down with a palm! Hao Celestial Venerable immediately shot up from his kneeling position. His Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel spun with a whistle, slashing towards the Dao tree!

At the same time, Kai Huang drew his sword, pointing it at the Dao fruit on the tree. With a flash of sword light, thirty-six layers of sword domains manifested, with the topmost layer being the Sword Dao Great All-Embracing Heaven! Qin Mu controlled the Celestial Emperor's physical body. An incredibly terrifying power erupted, the body becoming grotesque. Controlling myriad Daos, he lunged forward, charging before the Divine Sense Grand Emperor, and with a cupped-hand push, sought to blast him apart!

Grand Emperor burst into loud laughter. Grand Dao circulated within the Dao tree, and the Dao fruit shone brightly. Enlightened Celestial Venerable's attack had just reached above the Dao tree when it was lifted by the Dao light emanating from the Dao tree's canopy, preventing it from descending. Instead, Enlightened Celestial Venerable felt an unparalleled force that shook him, sending him involuntarily tumbling upwards. His heart was appalled. He repeatedly activated his cultivation techniques, striking down palm after palm, but was continuously forced backward.

Hao Celestial Venerable's Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel struck the tree trunk. The Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel shattered with a bang, and he couldn't help but blanch. Kai Huang's sword had just pierced the Dao fruit, where the power was strongest. The sword light was shattered, and Kai Huang flashed away, dodging the impact of the Dao fruit's power. Qin Mu charged to the Divine Sense Grand Emperor's front. Suddenly, an incredibly terrifying divine sense erupted. With a thunderous boom, it blasted his primordial spirit out of the Celestial Emperor's physical body!

The Dao tree swayed, and figures fell in all directions. Both Ling Celestial Venerable's Immutable Divine Ability and Primordial Essence Goddess's Wish Fulfillment were completely shattered! The Divine Sense Great All-Embracing Heaven became clear and transparent like a bright mirror, with only the blood spilled by Qin Mu, Hao Celestial Venerable, Enlightened Celestial Venerable, Ling Celestial Venerable, and the Primordial Essence Goddess as they fell in all directions. Kai Huang shifted his steps, avoiding the Dao fruit's attack. His expression was solemn; he was not injured by Grand Emperor, but his mind was greatly shaken.

The Divine Sense Grand Emperor looked up, surveying the Celestial Emperor's physical body, and a smile appeared on his face: "You have finally brought me the body I need. From today onwards, I can finally leave the ultimate void and fully descend into the world!"

Swoosh—

He vanished into the Celestial Emperor's physical body.

Everyone's expressions drastically changed.
