Chapter 1608: The Death of the Supreme Lord

"So, Heavenly Venerable Hao is unwilling to keep his promise?"

From within the Dao fruit, Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's consciousness conveyed, "You spoke so eloquently just now, but it turns out you are just as bad as the Seventh Young Master! Heh heh, the servants of the Third and Fourth Young Masters share their same virtues! This is why I refused the Miluo Palace Master when he invited me to join Miluo Palace!"

Heavenly Venerable Hao did not bother to say more and directly pressed his palm onto the red string knot.

The red string knot had no power. From within the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, Qin Mu said lazily, "Brother Hao wants to use my hand to kill someone. Did you ask for my permission?"

Heavenly Venerable Hao chuckled softly as his Return to the Ruins divine ability erupted, engulfing Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's Dao fruit, along with Emperor Lang Xuan's primordial spirit and the Heavenly Court!

A moment later, his expression turned grave. When the Return to the Ruins divine ability dissipated, Supreme Venerable Ling Yu and Emperor Lang Xuan's primordial spirit and the Heavenly Court were still there. Even Qin Mu's red string knot had not been refined by his Grand Abyss of Return to the Ruins divine ability.

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu said nonchalantly, "I survived the Great Catastrophe of Destruction without perishing. What power do you possess that can compare to the destruction of the universe?"

Heavenly Venerable Hao's expression was solemn.

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu had taken over Lang Xuan's primordial spirit, and the power within the Dao fruit was too immense for him to even refine Lang Xuan's primordial spirit!

Qin Mu's voice drifted over, "Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, the reason you are indestructible is because of my divine ability. If I weren't suppressing the Calamity Breaking Sword hidden in your Dao fruit, you would be dead by now."

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu scoffed, "Seventh Young Master, do you think you can kill me?"

Qin Mu sneered, "You only have a single Dao fruit left. Can I not kill you?"

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu burst into laughter, "I survived the Great Catastrophe of Universal Destruction without perishing. What skill do you have to kill me?"

Qin Mu laughed heartily, "A mere Dao fruit, what right does it have to be arrogant in front of me? As the Seventh Young Master of Miluo Palace, I have countless ways!"

"Miluo Palace, only the Miluo Palace Master is truly respectable. Everyone else is trash!"

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu roared furiously, "What kind of Young Masters? They are just a bunch of good-for-nothings who only dare to transcend calamities by relying on Miluo Palace! Those with true ability overcome calamities through their own power!"

Heavenly Venerable Hao blinked, quietly waiting, clearly hoping they would destroy each other.

Their anger became increasingly difficult to suppress, and the more they spoke, the harder it was to control.

Suddenly, Qin Mu sneered, "Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, I can undo the red string knot and erase the Calamity Breaking Sword from your Dao fruit. Do you want to join forces with me?"

Heavenly Venerable Hao laughed out loud.

"Good! Let's join forces!" Supreme Venerable Ling Yu readily agreed.

Heavenly Venerable Hao's smile instantly froze.

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu asked, "Do you need me to swear an oath?"

"No need."

Qin Mu's voice came from the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, "If you betray me, I have countless ways to deal with you!"

"Excellent!"

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu said decisively, "When do we act?"

Heavenly Venerable Hao became alert and immediately activated the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel. However, at that moment, Qin Mu suddenly raised his index finger and thrust it forward.

The center of the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel exploded with a roar, and a vast purple light surged forth, overwhelming and turning everything in its path to dust!

Primordial Chaos Finger!

Heavenly Venerable Hao flipped backward and dodged the strike sideways. However, Qin Mu's finger was no longer the simple Primordial Chaos Finger of before, which had no variations in power.

Now, the Primordial Chaos Finger was imbued with Heavenly Venerable Ling's forty thousand years of understanding, which she had imparted to Qin Mu. Qin Mu had comprehended countless variations of the Miluo Palace Dao patterns, making it not only more powerful but also unpredictable.

As Heavenly Venerable Hao flashed to evade, he saw the finger transform into a purple sword, slashing at his waist!

He fell backward, and the purple sword grazed his upper body, cutting through his clothes before stopping.

Cold sweat appeared on Heavenly Venerable Hao's forehead. He moved his feet, shooting backward close to the ground, as the purple sword sliced down between his legs, followed by a beam of purple light directly pursuing him!

At that precise moment, a Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu was created. Heavenly Venerable Hao immediately took control of it and charged directly towards the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel.

Within the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, Qin Mu resisted the Wheel's crushing force, elevating his cultivation to its peak. Under his divine abilities and magic power, Heavenly Venerable Hao's thirty-five Heavenly Palaces almost ceased to function.

He struggled to break free, but the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu had already rushed before him.

The Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu roared, clapping its hands, one left and one right, down onto his head!

Just as the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu was about to smash his head, Supreme Venerable Ling Yu suddenly controlled Emperor Lang Xuan's primordial spirit, crashing into the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu, sending the deity tumbling and rolling, unable to steady itself!

As Heavenly Venerable Hao controlled the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu and just started to rise, Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, controlling Lang Xuan's primordial spirit, appeared before him again. The primordial spirit clasped its hands together and shot towards him.

Heavenly Venerable Hao raised his hand to block, but it was too late. Lang Xuan's primordial spirit swiftly thrust its hands into the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu's glabella.

Inside the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu, Heavenly Venerable Hao's divine consciousness erupted, resisting Lang Xuan's primordial spirit. Heavenly Venerable Yu extended its hands, grabbed Lang Xuan's primordial spirit by the legs, and tried to pull it out forcefully.

Within Lang Xuan's primordial spirit, the Dao fruit spun, and divine consciousness burst forth. Lang Xuan's divine consciousness was much stronger than Heavenly Venerable Hao's, arguably the strongest below Empress Lang Wo.

Lang Xuan was dead, yet Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, having taken over Lang Xuan, commanded his divine consciousness with even greater mastery than Lang Xuan himself!

In his previous life, he had possessed Tai Chu, one of the Five Tais of the sixteenth universe, making him proficient in controlling Lang Xuan's divine consciousness. After this surge of divine consciousness, Heavenly Venerable Hao's divine consciousness within the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu was completely eradicated, utterly vanished!

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu immediately took control of the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu's physical body, letting out a long breath of relief, filled with immense joy.

He had finally successfully survived the Great Catastrophe of Destruction and established a firm foothold in the future universe!

On the other side, Heavenly Venerable Hao twisted and turned, evading the power of Qin Mu's finger. He continuously unleashed various divine abilities, progressively weakening the might of the Primordial Chaos Finger, and sternly cried out, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, you have allowed a prehistoric enlightened one to descend alive into this universe, thus committing a crime against Heaven!"

Qin Mu laughed heartily and burst out of the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel.

As soon as he was free, the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel spun rapidly and whistled away, landing behind Heavenly Venerable Hao. Heavenly Venerable Hao raised his hand and slammed it forward with great force, unleashing layer upon layer of dark Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheels that spread forward.

Qin Mu's Primordial Chaos Finger arrived, piercing through layers of Heavenly Wheel divine abilities, passing through twenty-eight layers of the Heavenly Wheel, its power still not entirely extinguished!

Heavenly Venerable Hao roared, clenching his fists, and furiously punched forward, striking countless blows in an instant.

By the time the power of Qin Mu's finger was completely nullified, his hands were covered in blood and trembled uncontrollably from the pain.

Qin Mu raised his hand, summoned the Calamity Sword, and stood not far from him.

On the other side, Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, now accustomed to the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu, also walked closer.

The Heavenly Wheel behind Heavenly Venerable Hao's head slowly revolved, his eyes flickering, "Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, if I die, I will be devoured by Youdu's blood sacrifice array. The Third and Fourth Young Masters of Miluo Palace have already accumulated enough power. While not enough to support their own descent, it wouldn't be difficult for an enlightened one to descend."

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu stopped. Heavenly Venerable Hao retreated step by step, a smile appearing on his face, "Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, you are the same kind of person as us Ten Heavenly Venerables. You have great ambitions. You didn't join Miluo Palace not because you mistrusted the Young Masters of Miluo Palace, but because you didn't want to be subordinate to anyone. Your goal is to surpass the Young Masters of Miluo Palace and become the ruler of this universe, isn't it?"

Qin Mu's heart tensed. He turned to Supreme Venerable Ling Yu and said, "Supreme Venerable, you're not also such a mundane person, are you?"

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu sighed, saying wistfully, "I truly wish I could deny it, but I am indeed such a mundane person. What's the point of simply existing? As an enlightened one, one should have greater pursuits, to fill the time in the future and make life interesting."

Qin Mu said with disappointment, "So, you can't be relied upon either."

Heavenly Venerable Hao stopped. Footsteps sounded behind him; it was Heavenly Venerable Ling's footsteps.

Heavenly Venerable Ling had arrived at this Heavenly Palace of Creation.

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's gaze fell upon Heavenly Venerable Ling. He immediately noticed her cultivation wasn't very high and dismissed it, chuckling, "This body isn't suitable for me. It's barely usable, but it cannot guarantee carrying me into the ultimate void to entrust my Dao fruit."

His gaze swept around, looking at the fragments of the Great Luo Heaven and the hexagonal pillars within them.

"The Fourth Young Master of Miluo Palace is indeed talented, to be able to devise such an intricate blood sacrifice method. I only need to make slight modifications to make the blood sacrifice serve my purpose."

He spread his arms wide and laughed heartily, "As long as a physical body of Tai Chu descends, I can eternally rule this universe, from the highest heavens to the deepest netherworld, with no rivals! You!"

His gaze landed on Heavenly Venerable Hao: "You and your Heavenly Court forces, surrender completely, and you may live."

Cold sweat beaded on Heavenly Venerable Hao's forehead. He immediately realized he had been locked onto by Supreme Venerable Ling Yu. It was the pure aura of the Dao of Tai Chu, the thirty-sixth realm of the Dao of Tai Chu—a Dao realm his own father, Tai Chu, could only dream of!

This power was so immense that it not only threatened his current body but even if his enlightened body were to arrive, it would be no match for Supreme Venerable Ling Yu!

Moreover, he heard Heavenly Venerable Ling's footsteps approaching him!

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu turned to Qin Mu and smiled, "Seventh Young Master of Miluo Palace? The Seventh Young Master can pledge allegiance to the Miluo Palace Master, or to me. I am no worse than the Miluo Palace Master."

Qin Mu chuckled, "The last of the Five Tais who spoke like that was beaten down to the Fourth Cosmic Epoch by the Miluo Palace Master."

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu dismissed it, "A mediocre talent."

Heavenly Venerable Hao felt the pressure intensify. Cold sweat poured down his forehead. Suddenly, he cried out and, forcing his way through Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's pressure, flashed away!

The moment he moved, Supreme Venerable Ling Yu struck out with a palm. Heavenly Venerable Hao abruptly tore open the sky of Youdu, revealing a Grand Abyss of Return to the Ruins in front of him, and flashed into it.

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's palm force followed closely, smashing into the Grand Abyss. In the void, continuous tremors rippled, and blood flowed, crimson liquid oozing from the void for ten thousand miles, as if Youdu itself was bleeding.

"Oh? Fled into the Return to the Ruins below Youdu? To be able to survive, he does have some skill."

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's gaze fell on the approaching Heavenly Venerable Ling, and he chuckled, "Are you here to join me?"

"No."

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, she is here to send you on your way. I told you before that if you betray me, I have countless ways to deal with you. Do you remember?"

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu frowned. Suddenly, Qin Mu's divine ability erupted, attacking him with the Invariable Divine Ability the moment he struck!

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu raised his hand to block. The Tai Chu divine ability burst forth, and a vast, overwhelming power surged towards Qin Mu. He said coldly, "Seventh Young Master, you disappoint me!"

His magic power was immense, directly suppressing the Invariable Divine Ability, preventing it from unleashing its full power. This vast force could even crush Qin Mu directly into dust, rendering his Invariable Divine Ability completely ineffective!

The thirty-six layers of the Tai Chu Dao realm possessed unimaginable and terrifying power!

Qin Mu did not dodge. He grabbed the Tai Yi staff and held it in front of him. With his other hand, he swept his five fingers as if playing an ancient zither. Although his fingers moved through empty air, zither music resonated.

He activated Heavenly Venerable Yue's Extreme Void to its utmost!

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's thirty-six-layered Tai Chu divine ability struck, destroying Qin Mu's divine treasures, leaving only the World Tree. His physical body was almost completely annihilated, with only the hand holding the Tai Yi staff remaining!

Heavenly Venerable Ling's figure appeared before Supreme Venerable Ling Yu, and she extended a finger, touching his glabella.

"What are you doing?"

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu frowned, looking down at the woman. Then, as if realizing something, his expression turned grave. "What kind of divine ability is this?"

Heavenly Venerable Ling replied, "The Invariable Divine Ability of Mass and Energy, comprehended from the Miluo Palace Master's Dao patterns."

Supreme Venerable Ling Yu's brows furrowed. He turned and took two steps, then suddenly his knees buckled, and his body slumped downwards. His physical body disintegrated, and his Dao fruit crumbled.

"So, I am indeed inferior to him..." he murmured.
