Chapter 1604: Complete Disaster

The Primordial Emperor Sword moved in Yun Tianzun's hand, and immense Dao power burst forth from it. His sword art differed from both Qin Mu's and Kai Huang's.

Kai Huang's sword Dao was unparalleled; his sword art embodied his very Dao. With a single strike, it manifested as the magnificent Thirty-Six Heavens. These sword Dao Heavens captivated the Village Chief, once the Sword God of Eternal Peace, to the point of becoming his inner demon.

Qin Mu's sword art was far more versatile, reputed as the foremost sword art of a million years. It integrated divine abilities into the Dao, meaning his sword art was divine ability itself, brimming with calamities.

Yun Tianzun's sword art, however, took a different path. It was ancient and grand, lacking the agile variations of Qin Mu's or the magnificent scope of Kai Huang's, yet it carried supreme imperial might!

This imperial might originated from the Dragon Han Era; he had served as the Human Celestial Emperor of the Empyrean Heaven for hundreds of thousands of years, a reign even longer than Tai Chu's.

Not only that, but during his reign, he executed the Grand Emperor and slew Tai Chu. He vanquished the ancient ruler Grand Emperor in the Ultimate Void and eliminated the ancient god ruler, Celestial Emperor Tai Chu, in the Primordial Capital, directly ending the reign of the ancient gods!

His sword art carried the power of having slain these two great beings, imbuing it with supreme imperial might and the momentum to flatten everything!

His majesty when wielding the sword even surpassed that of Tai Chu, the ancient god Celestial Emperor!

This was his might, his momentum!

Tai Chu's expression was solemn. He drew his own refined Emperor Sword to meet Yun Tianzun's attack. The moment the two individuals and their two swords collided, Tai Chu immediately felt his imperial might could not contend, and was instead suppressed by Yun Tianzun!

However, Yun Tianzun's weakness was also extremely apparent: he was significantly inferior to Tai Chu in terms of magic power.

A vast Celestial Palace appeared behind Tai Chu's head. The Lingxiao Hall, bestowed by the Third Young Master, shone brightly, causing his magic power to surge. With unparalleled strength, he forcefully crushed his opponent!

In the Ultimate Void, two Grand Overarching Heavens collided. Above the Ancestral Court, two Grand Overarching Heavens also intertwined.

Beneath those two Grand Overarching Heavens, Hao Tianzun and Kai Huang sat opposite each other on a platform, neither having risen. They sat cross-legged. Kai Huang drew his sword and thrust it towards Hao Tianzun. The Myriad Dao Celestial Wheel behind Hao Tianzun's head rose between them, passing over him.

The Myriad Dao Celestial Wheel spun, with fifty-eight Treasure Halls and thirty-six Heavenly Palaces continuously rotating within the wheel. This disrupted the Grand Dao contained within Kai Huang's sword strike.

Kai Huang's sword vibrated thirty-six times in succession. With the first sword cry, the Grand Sovereign's Heaven-Pacifying Sword burst forth, transforming into the Grand Sovereign Heaven. The second sword strike unleashed the Grand Illumination Heaven-Reaching Sword, with the Grand Illumination Heaven emerging from within. After thirty-six sword cries, a Grand Overarching Heaven of Sword Dao pierced through the Myriad Dao Celestial Wheel!

At the same time, the Myriad Dao Celestial Wheel spun. Each rotation emitted an incredibly profound Daoist sound, and another Myriad Dao Celestial Wheel would appear before it.

The Myriad Dao Celestial Wheel completed twenty-eight revolutions, and twenty-eight celestial wheels surged forward in layers, encompassing Kai Huang within them.

This was the twenty-eighth Heaven of the Dao Realm.

His Dao Realm was inferior to Kai Huang's. The Myriad Dao Celestial Wheel was also Primordial Qi, though it had not reached the peak of Primordial Qi. However, this celestial wheel was formed from his vast Celestial Palace. The power contained within his perfect Celestial Palace was immense, and merely these twenty-eight heavens were enough to leave their mark on the Ultimate Void!

Both nearly completed their ultimate killing techniques simultaneously, but were also subjected to each other's ultimate killing techniques!

Kai Huang rose to his feet. He saw rotating Heavenly Palaces and Treasure Halls all around him, forming a massive circular wheel that spun wildly and crushed everything.

Hao Tianzun, on the other hand, saw a Dao Tree appear before him, and his expression subtly changed. "Without the Fourth Young Master's Purple Heavens Palace," he murmured, "I definitely wouldn't be able to block this sword of yours. What a pity."

Behind his head, the illusory image of the Purple Heavens Palace appeared, meeting the Dao Tree formed by Kai Huang's final sword strike.

Youdu.

Without Lang Wo's blessing, Moon Tianzun's form was immediately exposed in the Thirty-Fifth Void. The power from the void assailed her, dematerializing her physical body and primordial spirit, making her body incredibly flat and stretched in all directions.

However, Moon Tianzun activated the Void Bearing Scripture, and her physical body and primordial spirit immediately recovered.

Her cultivation technique was called "Bearing the Extreme Void." "Bearing" and "Extreme" represent two extremes – one immensely large, the other infinitesimally small – while "Void" represented another characteristic of her technique.

As early as the Dragon Han Era, when she dealt with the Grand Emperor, she had already learned about the void from the Creator Race. The Void Bridge in the Ultimate Void was erected in the Thirty-Fifth Void, and the Three Rooms at its end were designed and built by her, perfectly integrating the Dao of Space with the Dao of Void to form an insurmountable perilous pass, holding back invaders there.

The Three Rooms were not destroyed by the Thirty-Fifth Void; this was due to the power of her Void Bearing Scripture cultivation technique.

At that time, Moon Tianzun was already able to enter the Thirty-Fifth Void. Now, it was naturally effortless for her; during the Battle of the Primordial Spirit Grand Overarching Heaven, she could even use divine abilities to send Ling Tianzun into the Ultimate Void!

However, just as she stabilized herself in the Thirty-Fifth Void, the void from the First to the Thirty-Fifth Layer suddenly twisted violently, transforming into a massive wheel of flames!

Fire Tianzun's physical body slowly ascended, growing larger and larger. The Thirty-Five Voids enveloped Moon Tianzun, forming a Dao Fire Void Ring behind Fire Tianzun's head!

Without Lang Wo's help, she immediately fell under Fire Tianzun's control!

At the same time, the two Grand Ultimate ancient gods each raised their palms. The Grand Ultimate Star Domain spun into existence, trapping Lang Wo within it.

Lang Wo immediately activated her divine consciousness. Her divine consciousness abilities were unpredictable; she conjured various forms of divine abilities, even all of Qin Mu's divine abilities and Kai Huang's sword Dao, and attacked the two ancient gods outside the Grand Ultimate Star Domain.

"Divine King, there's no need to struggle."

The two ancient gods said in unison: "Your Dao of Divine Consciousness has not reached its peak; it poses no threat to us. The Dao of Grand Ultimate, which creates and transforms all things and all Daos, is precisely the bane of your divine consciousness conjurations. If you struggle, you will suffer further."

Lang Wo shouted angrily. Her body suddenly swelled, revealing her true Creator form, standing within the Grand Ultimate Star Domain like a giant manipulating constellations and holding galaxies in her hands!

With her true form revealed, her divine consciousness became even more vast and profound. She even conjured constellations, attempting to disrupt the Grand Ultimate Star Domain.

The two ancient gods sighed. They activated the star domain. Wherever the Dao of Grand Ultimate passed, all of Divine King Lang Wo's divine consciousness abilities solidified, turning into a shower of star dust that drifted throughout the star domain.

Her divine consciousness attacks primarily relied on conjuration, materializing substances. However, the Dao of Grand Ultimate creates and transforms all things, altering material structures. Therefore, her divine consciousness abilities had no room to be exerted and were directly nullified.

The Grand Ultimate Star Domain began to shrink, suppressing the female Creator and forcing her physical body to continuously shrink.

"Divine King, forgive us, but Hao Tianzun wants us to bring you back."

The two Grand Ultimate ancient gods waved their four arms as if weaving, activating their magic power. They firmly entangled Lang Wo, and the Grand Ultimate Star Domain gradually transformed into a Grand Ultimate sand table, binding her.

The two ancient gods beckoned. The Grand Ultimate sand table flew up and descended behind their heads.

Just then, a golden ship suddenly crashed in. With a thunderous roar, it shattered the Grand Ultimate sand table, sending countless specks of star dust scattering!

The two ancient gods were astonished. They hastily activated their magic power to reassemble the sand table, exclaiming, "Heavenly Venerate Mu?"

After the golden ship shattered the sand table, it flew out carrying Lang Wo. However, there was no sign of Qin Mu on the ship.

The two ancient gods exchanged glances. "If Heavenly Venerate Mu were on the ship," they said, "it would be difficult for us to act. We promised him we wouldn't oppose him. But since he's not on the ship, we can't be blamed!"

The Grand Ultimate sand table condensed again and swiftly expanded, transforming into the Grand Ultimate Star Domain, making it difficult for the golden ship to advance through it.

The two ancient gods moved their serpent tails, chasing after the golden ship. Suddenly, a large, spherical object rolled off the ship, crashing into the Grand Ultimate Star Domain.

That spherical object was a large, primal egg, displaying a perfect spherical shape. Various complex Dao patterns appeared on its surface. The Dao patterns hummed and flashed, immediately batting away the stars surging from all directions!

Seizing this opportunity, the golden ship immediately carried Lang Wo out of the Grand Ultimate Star Domain.

The two Grand Ultimate ancient gods roared in anger. Just as they were about to give chase, a profound voice suddenly came from within the spherical egg: "Fellow Daoists, Grand Beginning offers greetings!"

The two ancient gods, Tai Yin and Tai Yang, immediately stopped. Tai Yin Niangniang tentatively asked, "Is that Grand Beginning Dao Brother in the shell?"

Grand Beginning's voice came from within the spherical egg, chuckling: "Indeed, it is Grand Beginning. Fellow Daoists, you emerged into the world earlier, and I have not yet emerged, so by rights, I should call you Dao Brothers. However, I was born earlier than you, so I'll be audacious and call you Fellow Daoists."

The Tai Yang ancient god said: "Among the Five Primordial Greats, seniority is determined by birth, not by emergence into the world. Grand Change was the earliest, followed by Tai Chu, then Grand Beginning third, and Grand Purity fourth. We are the youngest among the Five Primordial Greats, so naturally, we should call you Dao Brother. Dao Brother, why are you obstructing us?"

Grand Beginning in the egg said: "I am saving you. I have followed Heavenly Venerate Mu in cultivation, and my horizons and knowledge have broadened daily. I not only know about the conflict between Mu and Hao, but also the schemes of the prehistoric universe. It's one thing for you to help Tai Chu, but why would you willingly degrade yourselves by helping Hao Tianzun? What good could come from Hao Tianzun? He has colluded with the Young Masters of the prehistoric universe, intending for them to descend! At that time, all living beings will be enslaved! And you won't fare any better!"

Tai Yin Niangniang's face flushed, and she said coldly: "Grand Beginning, we respect your early birth, which is why we call you Dao Brother! Otherwise, by our earlier emergence into the world, you should be calling us Dao Brothers! Don't flaunt your seniority! Today, will you yield or not?"

Grand Beginning in the egg was furious: "Fellow Daoist Tai Yang, control your sister! Among the Five Primordial Greats, Grand Change was seized, Tai Chu became a lackey for the prehistoric Young Masters, and Grand Purity was killed by Hao Tianzun. Only we are left of the Five Primordial Greats! If you two continue to collude with Hao Tianzun and Tai Chu, then among the Five Primordial Greats, only I will remain righteous and honorable..."

Tai Yin Niangniang lost her patience. The Grand Ultimate Star Domain transformed into a river of stars, coiled around the spherical egg, and slammed it down hard. "You haven't even emerged, and you're trying to lecture us!"

Grand Beginning was sent reeling, dizzy and disoriented by the impact. Various Dao patterns appeared on the outside of the egg, shaking the surrounding river of stars loose. He angrily said, "Grand Ultimate, I respected your great ambition, willing to emerge from your shell early and achieve Dao through the mundane world. I originally thought you were reasonable people. I never expected you to be so pathetic! Forget achieving Dao; you won't even be able to preserve your lives!"

Tai Yin Niangniang angrily said: "Brother, this Grand Beginning is a muddle-headed fool. If he obstructs us here, we won't be able to report back properly to Hao Tianzun and Dao Brother Tai Chu. Since he's so stubbornly deluded..."

The Tai Yang ancient god hesitated and politely said, "Grand Beginning Dao Brother, we Five Primordial Greats are all of one spirit. You are our elder brother, but Tai Chu is also our elder brother. Please, Dao Brother, step aside."

Grand Beginning in the egg angrily retorted: "If I don't move, will you just step over my corpse?"

"Then we'll have no choice but to step over your corpse."

The Tai Yang ancient god and Tai Yin Niangniang joined hands. Their serpent tails intertwined as they activated the Grand Ultimate sand table, causing the entire star domain to boil!

Grand Beginning in the egg felt a chill down his spine. He hastily started running outwards from within the egg, saying exasperatedly, "You'd even kill an elder brother, how ruthless you are! Heavenly Venerate Mu, you never told me these two were tough nuts... huh?"

He let out a yelp of surprise, suddenly feeling a chill in his legs. His two legs had somehow, unknowingly, passed through the eggshell, and he was now frantically running with the divine egg on his head!

Tai Yin Niangniang's previous strike had cracked his eggshell. In his haste, his two legs kicked out two large holes in his own eggshell.

"I'm finished..."

Grand Beginning's mind went blank. As he ran, he saw the eggshell around him cracking audibly. Then, the light of the Grand Ultimate Star Domain shone in from outside.
