Chapter 1260 – Restoring The Divine Power
Celestial Venerable Hao’s aura was withered as he laid in the center of the net made of thousands of threads, motionless.
There was a mysterious piece of heaven and earth floating above his body. It wasn’t big, only about ten to twenty feet in radius. There was a Dao Tree there, and the Dao Tree was blooming with Dao fruits. Celestial Venerable Hao’s primordial spirit was trapped inside, struggling endlessly, but he couldn’t break free.
It was the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven.
The Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven wasn’t the true Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven. The true Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven was in the Ultimate Void. This Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven was merely a divine art that the Grand Emperor had created with his consciousness.
Celestial Venerable Hao’s injuries were too severe. Other than his primordial spirit being sealed, he had no choice but to send all of his cultivation out of his body and use his heart devil to treat his injuries.
He was indeed smarter than others. If there wasn’t a smart person like Saint Woodcutter, no one would be able to break his seal and find his true hiding place.
However, even though he was still unconscious, everyone still acted as though they were facing a great enemy and didn’t dare to slack off.
Everyone could feel that even though Celestial Venerable Hao’s aura was withered, pure energy was slowly gathering in his body!
Celestial Venerable Hao’s technique was too marvelous, and he was actually reborn. After his rebirth, he would probably be even stronger and more terrifying!
The battle with the Grand Emperor had given him great benefits!
Heaven Monarch’s voice was hoarse as he said, “The Celestial Venerable Mental Demons that entered died here…”
They looked forward and saw huge cocoons hanging on the threads. In each cocoon hung a Mental Demon Celestial Venerable Mu.
Quite a number of heart devils invaded this place, but none of them could kill Celestial Venerable Hao. Instead, they became his nourishment!
After a long time, no one moved.
Suddenly, majestic laughter rang out. Yan Yunxi’s donkey, Great Devil King Lü Zheng, laughed and said, “Celestial Venerable Hao is right there, lying there, unconscious, but no one dares to make a move! Hehe, you existences on Emperor’s Throne Realm are only so-so! Brother Sanduo, let’s go!”
The donkey lifted its hooves and kicked Yan Yunxi off its back. Suddenly, its body shook, and its corporeal body expanded. It transformed into a ferocious demon with the face of a donkey and the body of a human, and it shouted, “Senior Brother Sanduo, let’s kill Celestial Venerable Hao together! Shame on them! Little black cat, do you want to come too?”
The black tiger god’s blood boiled from his words, and he suddenly stood up to look at Niu Sanduo.
Niu Sanduo stood up and transformed into a demon god with the head of a bull and the body of a human. He said with a smile, “It’s rare to have such an opportunity, so I naturally have to make a great contribution!”
The three of them rushed forward, and suddenly, the threads moved and crisscrossed, making it impossible for them to dodge. They could only fight head-on.
Niu Sanduo and Lü Zheng cried out weirdly. When their divine arts or divine weapons touched these threads, they felt that the power of their divine arts had been greatly reduced. The power of their divine weapons was also sucked away by these threads.
What was even stranger was that the divine weapons couldn’t be shaken off when they touched the thread.
Soon, their divine weapons were covered in threads and couldn’t be pulled out. Even their bodies were soon stuck to the threads, and their bodies gradually became spiritless.
The black tiger god shouted, “I’m skilled in algebra and can execute teleportation divine art. Come to my side!”
Niu Sanduo and Lü Zheng struggled to drag the thread to his side. The black tiger god executed his teleportation divine art, and with a flash of light, the three of them vanished.
However, the threads in the sky swam and chased after them. They seemed to know where they were teleported to.
The black tiger god brought Niu Sanduo and Lü Zheng to appear in the sky above Celestial Venerable Hao. The moment they appeared, they fell into the net.
The threads quickly entangled them tightly, hanging them upside down.
Those threads actually penetrated their skin and took root in their bodies, absorbing their energy.
The three of them felt a chill down their spines. Those threads had actually penetrated into their divine treasures and celestial palaces, covering them with layers of gauze!
Even their primordial spirits were covered by a thin veil!
Niu Sanduo was about to call for help when Lü Zheng’s cry for help rang out.
Niu Sanduo and the black tiger god were ashamed. They thought to themselves, ‘From now on, no matter how much this donkey talks, we can’t listen to him anymore…’
Lü Zheng was still shouting for help, but Yan Yunxi, Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher, Saint Woodcutter, and the rest at the entrance had grim expressions. They didn’t save him directly.
‘Even if I go in, I won’t be able to fight against these threads. As long as I’m stuck to my body and enter the divine treasures and celestial palaces, I won’t be able to escape.’
Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher Guan Cha said solemnly, “These kinds of Dao runes are extremely soft, and once they stick to your body, you can’t get rid of them. Woodcutter, I reckon that even Heaven Sovereign and Red Deity can’t come up with any solution. Do you have any methods?”
Red Deity Qi Xiayu heard that and asked, “Can I use heavenly fire?”
Saint Woodcutter said with a smile, “Red Deity can give it a try.”
Red Deity Qi Xiayu flipped her palm and carefully took out a wisp of heavenly fire, throwing it into the threads. Soon, that piece of heavenly fire crystal was wrapped up into a small dumpling. Together with Celestial Venerable Mu, Lü Zheng, Niu Sanduo, and the rest, it was hung up.
Qi Xiayu stared with her eyes wide open and stopped talking.
Xi Tianjun said politely, “Dao Brother Wen, you always have ideas, so you should come up with a countermeasure.”
Saint Woodcutter shook his head and said, “I also can’t break Celestial Venerable Hao’s arrangements.”
When Xi Tianjun heard that, he revealed a smile and planned to kill. If he couldn’t kill Celestial Venerable Hao, he would help Celestial Venerable Hao get rid of these people who wanted to get rid of him. This would be a huge contribution!
“However…”
Saint Woodcutter changed the topic, and Heaven Sovereign immediately suppressed his murderous intent. Saint Woodcutter continued, “I can’t break Celestial Venerable Hao’s arrangements, but I can use his arrangements to break his arrangements.”
Everyone was puzzled.
Saint Woodcutter said, “The reason why Celestial Venerable Hao has to form thirty-five Dao cocoons is because his corporeal body is in shambles. His primordial spirit is sealed in the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, and his corporeal body can’t control such a huge amount of magic power. Furthermore, his magic power is also in shambles, and his Great Dao markings are also scattered.”
Everyone listened quietly, but Saint Woodcutter paused and carefully thought of how to phrase it. Everyone became anxious from waiting, and only then did he continue, “Therefore, the easiest way to break his arrangements is to send him out of the Great Dao cocoon and into his body!”
Everyone’s hearts trembled, and they were all dumbfounded. Can Nü sighed. “Heavenly Teacher who cuts wood, is there anyone in this world that you can’t kill?”
“Yes!”
Saint Woodcutter said solemnly, “Celestial Venerable Hao is also one of them. Even though he is severely injured, I’m not completely confident if I can use this method to kill him. A huge portion of energy has already accumulated in his body. If he can withstand it, we will be the ones to die. If he can’t…”
He didn’t continue and looked at Heaven Monarch Xi and Red Deity Qi Xiayu instead. “Dao friends, are you coming together?”
Xi Tianjun hesitated for a moment and looked at Red Deity Qi Xiayu.
Qi Xiayu was expressionless as she said, “Go ahead, saint. We have our own plans.”
Xi Tianjun hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. He chuckled and said, “Those who starve to death are cowards, those who are too daring… Smelly Chicken Thief, feel free to attack!”
Saint Woodcutter took out a taotie sack from his waist and took out two calligraphy paintings. “Back then, when Founding Emperor was still on good terms with Xuandu and Youdu, I followed Founding Emperor to Xuandu and Youdu as a guest. Heaven Duke and Earth Count knew I liked to be a vassal, so they each raised their brush and wrote to me.”
He unfolded the calligraphy and painting, and on the calligraphy were the writings of Heaven Duke and Earth Count. They were written in divine writings and devil writings. He continued to say, “I have never used these two calligraphy paintings. After that, I took in a good-for-nothing disciple and founded a spell to summon souls and reconstruct souls. I borrowed the power of Heaven Duke and Earth Count. I thought that maybe I could also create a spell divine art on his foundation, restoring the divine art that others had attacked me and stuffing it back into that person’s body…”
Everyone felt their blood run cold.
