Chapter 1721: Desecrator's Divine Power

Inside the Heavenly Court's main camp, the Third Young Master was controlling Emperor Haotian's physical body, and the Fourth Young Master was controlling Taichu's. The Third Young Master stood outside Qin Mu's domain, while the Fourth Young Master remained within it.

The Third Young Master slowly shifted his feet, observing the intricacies of this domain and searching for Qin Mu's vulnerabilities.

In the previous universe, despite multiple interactions with the Seventh Young Master, Qin Mu, he didn't have a deep understanding of Qin Mu's divine arts and paths. The Seventh Young Master of the Miluo Palace was almost always out scheming against others or on his way to do so, rarely remaining in the Miluo Palace.

Now, however, presented an excellent opportunity to observe Qin Mu's paths.

In terms of cultivation, Qin Mu was not the most powerful in terms of primordial qi in the Seventeenth Epoch universe.

Both Taichu and Emperor Haotian possessed deeper primordial qi reserves than Qin Mu.

Qin Mu's true strength lay in how far he had surpassed his era. His vision, insight, and knowledge foundation vastly exceeded those of Taichu and Emperor Haotian.

He was not far from reaching the level of a Young Master, and even the Third Young Master dared not be negligent.

Countless main forces of the Heavenly Court were also caught within Qin Mu's domain, trapped and unable to escape.

Qin Mu's domain was incredibly bizarre; no matter which direction they charged, they would only end up getting closer to Qin Mu. Hence, they dared not move a muscle.

Especially the powerful Emperor's Throne realm experts of the Heavenly Court; they dared not take half a step!

They remembered the brutal and terrifying way Qin Mu had slain the Lingguan Hall Master's clone. If they moved, no matter where they went, they would end up right before Qin Mu, essentially offering themselves up for slaughter!

Besides them, the Taiji Ancient Gods and Empress Dowager were also present. The Taiji Ancient Gods perceived the danger and dared not make any move.

The Empress Dowager noticed that no matter how much she turned her head, Qin Mu always remained directly facing her. She couldn't help but marvel, then spun around a couple more times, giggling aloud.

The Goddess of the Great Ruins often thought differently from others.

Qin Mu, by himself, single-handedly held back countless gods and devils of the Heavenly Court's army, preventing anyone from crossing the line!

If not for the Third and Fourth Young Masters using their own aura to break his domain, it was likely that even the divine and demonic armies of Ancestral God King, Xu Tianzun, Xuandu, and Youdu would have been trapped here, unable to escape!

Only the Third Young Master, while within Qin Mu's domain, could step outside of it. This alone demonstrated the profoundness of his foundation.

Qin Mu's Thirty-three Heavens Divine Treasure domain was incomprehensible to others, yet he understood it and could even transcend it!

This was the first time Qin Mu had encountered such a formidable being. Since his cultivation method had reached great success, his Divine Treasure domain had never been broken before; this was truly a first!

It didn't even seem like the Third Young Master was 'breaking' the domain; it was more as if he had seen through all its mysteries with a single glance!

The Fourth Young Master didn't move around like the Third Young Master. He simply stood within Qin Mu's domain, observing Qin Mu's Chaos Hall.

Qin Mu's domain had thirty-three heavens, appearing to outsiders as thirty-three Qin Mus. Yet, eerily, as the Fourth Young Master stood there, it was as if he had pierced through all thirty-three heavens of the domain; a Fourth Young Master appeared in every single one!

He demonstrated his comprehension of the Thirty-three Heavens domain in a different manner.

The two Young Masters employed different methods, but their foundations were equally unfathomable!

Qin Mu immediately felt the pressure.

He wanted to hold back the Heavenly Court's army here to buy time for Yankang, but it now seemed this task would be incredibly difficult!

Neither the Third nor the Fourth Young Master directly attacked. Although they had seen through Qin Mu's domain, Qin Mu was not primarily known for his Divine Treasure domain in the past.

The Seventh Young Master of the Miluo Palace had attained the Dao through Chaos, cultivating the Chaos Hall!

Even their teacher, the Miluo Palace Master, had spoken highly of Qin Mu!

They were merely borrowing Emperor Haotian's and Taichu's physical bodies to engage Qin Mu, as controlling another's body was less convenient than descending in person. Moreover, they still had to deal with the Seventh Young Master from the previous universe. Hence, this was a rare opportunity to glimpse the wonders and divine arts contained within the Seventh Young Master's Chaos Hall.

By understanding his paths and divine arts from the current Qin Mu, they could better contend with the future Seventh Young Master!

The Chaos Hall floated within Qin Mu's Grand Heavenly Court, containing boundless energy. However, this energy was tightly contained within the hall, unable to leak out.

Qin Mu's Grand Heavenly Court also followed the "Dao through Strength" cultivation system, similar to Taichu and Emperor Haotian, cultivating heavenly palaces and treasure halls. However, Qin Mu was not affected by the Jade Capital trap.

During his battle with the seventy-two Hall Master projections, he had already deciphered the trap and mastered the power of the seventy-two halls.

Furthermore, his cultivation of the Chaos Hall allowed him to transcend the Numinous Sky trap.

Not only that, the Third and Fourth Young Masters also perceived other methods of attaining Dao from Qin Mu, such as the Second Young Master's Dao Attainment through the Great Ruins, and Dao Realm Attainment!

In addition, Qin Mu's World Tree left them somewhat puzzled. This method of Dao attainment seemed to be a unique system of the Seventeenth Epoch, not yet fully developed.

Adding Dao Attainment through Chaos, they could discern five paths to Dao attainment from Qin Mu!

This was also the reason for Qin Mu's immense power!

Suddenly, the Third Young Master, Lingxiao, halted his steps!

At the same time, the Fourth Young Master, Zixiao, who had been standing there observing, moved, directly traversing layers of space to appear before Qin Mu!

Qin Mu also acted at the same instant. He did not use other Dao Realm divine arts; his strike was directly the Thirty-third Heaven Dao Realm divine art, Calamity Breaker!

His divine art established the Dao, and the Calamity Breaker Sword was the most powerful divine art he had created, capable of breaking through all great Dao divine arts!

This sword strike contained his profound foundation, and the Thirty-third Heaven Dao Realm transformed by Calamity Breaker trapped most of the Heavenly Court's gods and devils, even making the Empress Dowager and the Taiji Ancient Gods dare not move!

Having cultivated primordial chaos qi, he re-evolved this divine art with primordial chaos runes; its power was absolutely far greater than before!

The Fourth Young Master, Zixiao, advanced towards the Calamity Breaker Sword, raising a finger to meet the approaching sword light. Their finger and sword clashed in mid-air, sizzling.

Qin Mu held no physical sword; instead, he transformed primordial chaos qi into a purple sword. The Fourth Young Master, Zixiao, on the other hand, evolved divine arts with his finger; purple qi permeated with a flick of his fingertip, also primordial chaos qi!

The instant their divine arts collided, the Thirty-three Heavens domain violently pulsed. Layers of Dao Realm domains inverted and scrambled, time and space reversed, and the thirty-three heavens tilted. Everyone within the domain involuntarily slid forward, as if falling simultaneously towards a single singularity!

They hastily steadied themselves, only to find they had been displaced into other domains by the clash of these two Young Masters.

What was even more alarming was that their distance to Qin Mu had shortened!

Everyone's foreheads broke out in cold sweat, their nostrils flared, pupils constricted, and throats went dry.

The Empress Dowager giggled, suddenly activating her Great Ruins divine art. As the Great Ruins Abyss appeared, her form plunged into it, and she chuckled, "I'm not playing with you anymore! Farewell!"

The Great Ruins Abyss swallowed her, then promptly closed up and vanished without a trace.

At the same time, the two Taiji Ancient Gods suddenly merged, transforming into a snake-headed, human-bodied giant. They activated the Taiji Sand Table, which spun, whisking them away with a roar!

They seized the moment with extreme cleverness: it was precisely the instant Qin Mu and the Fourth Young Master, Zixiao, clashed, when the Thirty-three Heavens domain vibrated and was on the verge of stabilizing but not yet fully steady!

This was the best moment to escape Qin Mu's domain.

A surge of black light rippled, and the abyss reopened. The Empress Dowager stepped out, smiling, "Now we can invade Yankang..."

The smile on her face suddenly froze. Before her, the World Tree stood lush and verdant, obscuring all heavens, and she realized she was still within the Thirty-three Heavens domain, even closer to Qin Mu!

Even by activating her Great Ruins divine art, she had failed to escape Qin Mu's domain!

At the same time, the Taiji Sand Table, which had been spinning with a roar, suddenly halted. The two Taiji Ancient Gods separated, sweat pouring down their faces and bodies, as they stared intently at Qin Mu beneath the tree ahead.

Their distance to Qin Mu was even closer than the Empress Dowager's!

The three of them froze, daring not to make another move.

The Fourth Young Master, Zixiao, stepped forward. Qin Mu's Calamity Breaker Sword had not pierced through his one-finger divine art. His finger art was a divine art of the Miluo Palace, with primordial chaos runes as its foundational symbols—the most fundamental Dao runes, utterly unbreakable!

And in terms of the power of their two divine arts, his was even superior to Qin Mu's Calamity Breaker Sword!

The instant his Calamity Breaker Sword was nullified, Qin Mu immediately changed his move, meeting the Fourth Young Master's finger with his own Primordial Chaos Finger. Their divine arts appeared almost identical, but the inherent variations differed.

Although both Primordial Chaos Fingers evolved from primordial chaos runes, different practitioners' comprehensions led to different variations. Primordial chaos runes could evolve countless Great Daos within this one finger, from the Five Primordials to all innate Great Daos, all capable of being manifested.

At this point, it was a contest of their respective foundations: the deeper the foundation, the more variations possible!

Qin Mu's chest exploded, and his body flew backward, pinned onto the World Tree by a single finger from the Fourth Young Master, Zixiao!

As he crashed into the World Tree, the Thirty-three Heavens domain vibrated once more. The order of each domain layer changed again, and the formations of the Heavenly Court's countless armies spun wildly.

This time, they found themselves much further from Qin Mu, no longer falling towards him, and couldn't help but breathe sighs of relief.

Qin Mu slid down from the World Tree. Suddenly, primordial chaos qi filled the Chaos Hall, billowing forth in all directions and enveloping the World Tree!

In that moment, the World Tree seemed to be within the Great Ruins, with heat death winds everywhere in the surrounding primordial chaos qi. It was like a world-destroying calamity, where all Great Daos ceased to exist!

"A minor trick," the Fourth Young Master, Zixiao, said calmly as he stepped into this apocalyptic calamity.

Beneath the tree, Qin Mu reached out, as if drawing a sword, staring intently at the Fourth Young Master emerging from the primordial chaos qi.

The Fourth Young Master's figure grew from hazy to clear, and his body appeared to grow larger. He walked through the apocalyptic calamity Qin Mu had manifested, seemingly immune to all laws, eternal and unperishing, untouched by the heat death winds.

Just then, in the distant Lanfeng Valley, Heavenly Venerate Yue moved her finger, and zither music resonated. Strands of zither melody, under her control, penetrated Qin Mu's domain and entered the Fourth Young Master's ears!

The Fourth Young Master's raised foot paused. Upon hearing the zither music, his mind suddenly quivered, and his Dao heart was thrown into disarray.

Sword light flared.

Qin Mu drew his sword, but what he pulled out was his own right hand!

Heavenly Capital: Heaven Opening Chapter!

"Dao Blasphemer!"

The Fourth Young Master retreated, but this sword light had already cleaved through layers of chaos. With a single sword strike that opened the heavens, it cut into his glabella. The Fourth Young Master's mind became a blur of chaos, his consciousness instantly feeling as if it had been cleaved open!

Qin Mu's sword strike directly severed his consciousness and obliterated his power!

Thump.

Behind the Fourth Young Master, the Zixiao Hall violently collapsed, revealing a primordial, heaven-and-earth-opening cosmic scene!

Taichu immediately repossessed his body, transforming into a wisp of Taichu qi and fleeing far away, but was horrified to see himself getting closer and closer to Qin Mu!

A figure appeared before him, raised a hand, seized him by the back of the neck, and threw him out of Qin Mu's domain.

The Third Young Master, Lingxiao, his face grim, looked at Qin Mu's palm and said coldly, "Seventh Brother, you've learned the Dao Blasphemer's divine arts and used them against the Miluo Palace. Your intentions are malicious!"
