Chapter 1239 – The Strongest In The Primordial Realm
Not long later, the soldiers of the god cities of the celestial heavens were making preparations for battle. A murderous aura filled the air, and Qin Mu shivered. He knew that the celestial heavens was about to mobilize their army to attack Carefree Village and the masters of creation.
‘It should be difficult to take down Founding Emperor and Lang Wo in this battle. Why is Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu in such a hurry?’
His heart stirred slightly. ‘Celestial Venerable Hao is probably on his way!’
He felt a chill in his heart. Did Celestial Venerable Hao bring the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu?
If he had the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu and Celestial Venerable Hao’s unfathomable battle power, could the Grand Emperor really stop him?
“Celestial Venerable Mu.”
Suddenly, a god of the celestial heavens who had passed by him turned his head around and smiled at him. “Celestial Venerable Hao has already moved and is rushing to the Great Void. I’ll go and intercept him now! Don’t forget your promise, prepare the Grand Primordium Origin Stone! Otherwise, I want everyone in Eternal Peace to die, including your livestock and the ants in the ground!”
After saying that, the god shook his head and looked around in confusion. He then continued to work as though nothing had happened.
“Celestial Venerable Hao is here?”
Qin Mu couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. ‘The Grand Emperor and Celestial Venerable Hao are the strongest in history and the strongest in the present generation! I can’t miss this battle no matter what!’
His blood boiled, and he wanted to see the battle between Celestial Venerable Hao and the Grand Emperor. However, at this moment, Celestial Venerable Huo walked over and said solemnly, “Celestial Venerable Mu, I will lead the army to attack the rebels in a few days’ time. I would like to invite Celestial Venerable Mu to lead an army to attack the enemy camp. What do you think, Celestial Venerable Mu?”
Qin Mu was slightly stunned. “Celestial Venerable Huo is also a shrewd person. He probably chose the day when Celestial Venerable Hao came here. When that time comes, Celestial Venerable Hao will bring his divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu to attack. He will definitely be able to kill Founding Emperor and Divine King Lang Wo. What a good plan!”
He revealed a smile. “Luckily, the Grand Emperor has come back to life. He didn’t expect me to have an agreement with the Grand Emperor!”
Celestial Venerable Huo saw that he didn’t reply and asked again.
Qin Mu’s complexion was very weak, and he said weakly, “Celestial Venerable Huo, please forgive me. I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight on the battlefield. Even though I have the heart to repay the celestial heavens, I’m powerless.”
Celestial Venerable Huo frowned, not expecting him to say that.
This brat’s qi and blood were still vigorous just now, and he was so excited that he wanted to smash the main camp of the celestial heavens. Now, he suddenly became exhausted and said that he couldn’t go to the battlefield.
If he didn’t go, could he still kill him?
Celestial Venerable Huo frowned and left. He found Meng Yungui, Bai Yujing, and Zhu Shaoping and said, “What can we do now?”
Bai Yujing and Zhu Shaoping remained silent as they looked at Meng Yungui.
Meng Yungui pondered for a moment and said with a smile, “Although it’s hard to see through Celestial Venerable Mu’s character from his words and demeanor, I can deduce his character from his past actions.”
Celestial Venerable Huo’s gaze landed on him, and Meng Yungui continued, “Celestial Venerable Mu reminds me of a kind of animal in the mortal world, a roe deer, a kind of silly deer. It has an exuberant curiosity and often dies because of it. If it was in the past, when Celestial Venerable Huo invited him to the battlefield, even though he knew it was a trap, he wouldn’t be able to resist his intense curiosity and agreed to it, wanting to see what tricks we have up our sleeves. Now, his refusal can only mean one thing.”
Zhu Shaoping’s eyes lit up, and he smiled. “This means that there’s something else that makes him even more curious than us!”
Meng Yungui clapped his hands and smiled. “That’s right! Actually, the simplest way to kill Celestial Venerable Mu is to arouse his curiosity and lure him into an ambush. Even though he knows there’s an ambush, he will still jump in.”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. When they thought of how Qin Mu was usually shrewd and ruthless, they felt that it was inconceivable.
Celestial Venerable Huo looked at Bai Yujing, puzzled. Bai Yujing had always had an idea, but she was very quiet now.
Meng Yungui continued, “However, we don’t know what has piqued his curiosity today.”
Everyone frowned. No one knew what was going on.
Celestial Venerable Huo took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Observe his movements first. If there’s a chance, get rid of him and report it to the celestial heavens. Celestial Venerable Mu has sacrificed himself to report to the empire.”
The three heavenly teachers acknowledged. At this moment, someone reported, “Celestial Venerable, Celestial Venerable Mu is missing!”
Celestial Venerable Huo’s heart stirred, and he immediately said solemnly, “He must have gone to the Great Void and Youdu! Go and find Son of Heaven Yin!”
Soon, news came from Son of Heaven Yin that Qin Mu didn’t go to the Great Void and Youdu. Celestial Venerable Huo immediately ordered the Heaven Eye Race to search for Qin Mu.
However, the Heaven’s Eyes searched for a long time, but they couldn’t find any trace of Qin Mu in the Great Void.
‘I should be able to catch up to the battle between the Grand Emperor and Celestial Venerable Hao!’
Qin Mu was already crumbling the void. He carried Celestial Venerable Yue’s lantern and sprinted forward. The crumbling void had already been opened up by the celestial heavens. Every now and then, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Green Dragon, and the other four god artifacts would suppress the void, preventing the ownerless consciousness from approaching.
Other than that, the four god weapons were guarded by powerful gods and devils, and they were heavily guarded. They built god cities around the four god weapons, and the strong practitioners gave off overflowing flames. From afar, the god cities looked like torches in the darkness.
Celestial Venerable Yue’s lantern distorted space, allowing Qin Mu to travel quickly. He had also used this lantern to avoid the eyes of the celestial heavens and leave the Great Void to come here.
Of course, there was no need for him to hide his tracks here, he just had to walk on the path created by the celestial heavens.
‘Celestial Venerable Hao must have passed through this path as well. In that case, the best distance for the Grand Emperor to intercept Celestial Venerable Hao is actually the center of this path.’
He carried the lantern and walked for several days. When he came to the center of the crumbling void, he stopped.
Since the Grand Emperor had chosen to intercept Celestial Venerable Hao, he had to be further away from the entrance of the Great Void to prevent Celestial Venerable Hao from escaping. He also had to be further away from the Great Void, in case Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu came to reinforce him.
Thus, the center of the collapsing void was the best position.
Qin Mu used Celestial Venerable Yue’s lantern, and his speed was extremely fast, not inferior to that of a Celestial Venerable. In fact, he was even faster than a Celestial Venerable. Even Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu would need at least four days to reach this place.
If Celestial Venerable Hao was defeated and wanted to escape from the Great Void, he would need four days to do so. The Grand Emperor only needed to chase after him. Four days was enough to get rid of him easily!
“The Grand Emperor should be here!”
Qin Mu sat high up in the sky above the road, his gaze shining brightly as he looked down. There was a mountain pass here, and it was a stone city that the soldiers of the celestial heavens had constructed on the road.
The city was huge, and there were tens of thousands of gods and devils guarding it. There were flying cars, flying ships, and cannon towers in the city, and the soldiers in the city were equipped with bows and arrows.
The city walls of Stone City were stained with blood. It should be some scattered heart devils that had wandered into the crumbling void to attack the roads and Stone City.
“If I were the Grand Emperor, I would choose to hide in the city.”
Qin Mu opened the third eye in the heart of his brows and examined it in detail. However, what puzzled him was that he couldn’t find any traces of the Grand Emperor even after looking at everyone in the city.
‘Could it be that he still hasn’t come? I wonder if he broke through the lotus landmass. If he didn’t, his abilities wouldn’t have reached their peak. However, from how he easily controlled Shang Pinying, his consciousness should have already recovered to its peak…’
Just as he thought that, the vertical eye at the heart of his brows suddenly saw two people walking over from the void path. He was stunned. One of them was Bai Yujing, while the other was a chubby boy in blue.
“Lan Yutian, Celestial Venerable Yu!”
Qin Mu almost cried out in shock. At that moment, an incomparably dazzling divine light came from behind the two of them. Qin Mu focused his gaze and looked around. He saw an incomparably gorgeous treasure carriage driving over. The divine light was boundless and shone through the void!
‘Crap! Celestial Venerable Hao is here!’
Qin Mu’s mind was blown, and his consciousness rushed out towards Bai Yujing and Lan Yutian. “Leave this place quickly!”
