Chapter 1257 - Celestial Venerable Hao's Fear
The energy of the celestial palace exploded, instantly activating his heavenly fire divine art. A second explosion followed!
The heavenly fire crystals in his heavenly fire divine art were constructed from macroscopic algebra and didn’t involve microscopic algebra, so there were huge flaws, but their power was also extraordinary.
The terrifying power of the heavenly fire poured down in all directions, and when the two explosions gathered together, the power could be said to be world-destroying. Any small heaven would be blown to ashes!
However, the instant this energy burst forth, the bodies of the Mental Demon Celestial Venerable Mu flickered, and the teleportation divine art burst forth, vanishing without a trace before the power of the explosion arrived!
Qi Xiayu and the rest couldn’t save him in time and hurriedly executed their divine arts to block the explosion.
The light from the explosion of Southern Heaven’s expert shone, and it actually lit up the dark valley. Everyone looked into the valley, and they saw that the roads here were winding and filled with mountain rocks.
Countless Heart Devil Celestial Venerable Mus flashed around the valley, using teleportation divine arts and other divine arts to avoid the power of the explosion!
Everyone was stunned. There were so many Heavenly Venerate Mental Demon in the dark valley that their scalps turned numb!
How fierce was the explosion just now? Yet, Celestial Venerable Mu and the Mental Demon Celestial Venerable had actually dodged it. It was obvious that their abilities were extraordinary!
Everyone also saw countless Mental Demon Celestial Venerable Mu gathered together, each executing a divine art. It should be a kind of refining divine art. Clearly, these devils were refining something!
“How much is Celestial Venerable Hao afraid of Celestial Venerable Mu…” Just as Xi Tianjun said this, he came to a realization and immediately shut his mouth.
Yan Yunxi was in a daze as she muttered, “Could those Mental Demon Celestial Venerable Mu have gathered together to refine Celestial Venerable Hao?”
The light from the explosion gradually dimmed, and the valley returned to darkness. In the darkness, pairs of eyes shone with a dark light before being covered by the darkness.
When everyone saw this scene, they all felt a chill down their spines.
“What did you see?”
Saint Woodcutter stared with his eyes wide open as he tried his best to look into the valley. However, his cultivation realm was lower, and the explosion had almost blinded him. Thus, he closed his eyes.
When the explosion subsided, he opened his eyes and missed the terrifying sight.
Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher Zhuo Cha told him what he had seen and said, “Those Mental Demon Celestial Venerable Mu are most likely trapping Celestial Venerable Hao and preparing to refine him. I see faint flickering Dao markings inside. They should be seals that Celestial Venerable Hao used his remaining Great Dao to resist these Mental Demons.”
Saint Woodcutter was dumbfounded. After a moment, he cried out, “Celestial Venerable Hao has fainted!”
Everyone looked at him.
Saint Woodcutter composed himself and said, “Celestial Venerable Mu is Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart devil. With so many of them here, it means that Celestial Venerable Hao’s Dao heart has completely gone out of control! Only in one situation would Celestial Venerable’s Dao heart completely go out of control. That is, he has fainted! His injuries are much more serious than we imagined!”
Even though everyone in the celestial heavens called him a chicken thief and mocked him for being an old thief that started dancing upon hearing a chicken, everyone was very convinced by Saint Woodcutter’s judgment.
Red Deity Qi Xiayu and Xi Muhong looked at each other before looking away.
They had two goals in coming out to find Celestial Venerable Hao. If Celestial Venerable Hao still had a lot of power, they would save him and fight against Yan Yunxi, Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher, and the masters of creation. If Celestial Venerable Hao was severely injured, they would get rid of him!
From Saint Woodcutter’s judgment, there was only one motive left.
That was to get rid of Celestial Venerable Hao and remove an obstacle for the Celestial Venerables behind them!
‘These devils in the heart tried to kill Celestial Venerable Hao. As a subject, how could they not be brave enough to go forward?’
Xi Tianjun sighed and said, “Celestial Venerable Hao, wait for me to save him!”
Everyone barged into the dark valley one after another, and Red Deity Qi Xiayu said solemnly, “The devil qi in the valley is too strong, and the devil nature is too strong. Everyone, raise your spirits and execute Neither Thought nor No Thought. Don’t draw out the devil in your heart!”
She executed her treasure of the Emperor’s Throne, and the ancient guqin flew around her. The strings of the guqin moved on their own, and a divine tune played to protect the surroundings.
Xi Tianjun, Yan Yunxi, Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher, and the rest also used various methods to protect themselves.
The celestial palaces behind everyone’s heads swayed as divine light burst forth. They tried their best to dispel the devil qi and devil nature as they carefully explored the valley.
However, even though they were the top existences in the world, the divine light bursting forth from their celestial palaces couldn’t completely light up this valley.
When the divine light shone, a sword light suddenly flew over and destroyed the divine light.
On the outskirts of them, more sword lights appeared, slashing at their divine light. The flowing sword was like a fish tide in the sea, and countless silver fishes swam around, causing the area protected by their divine light to become smaller.
“So many Celestial Venerables Mu…”
Everyone gritted their teeth. Celestial Venerable Mental Demon wasn’t their match, so it was easy to get rid of him. However, these Celestial Venerable Mental Demon’s learning abilities were very strong, and they were good at adapting.
When they executed their moves a second time, they realized that their divine arts had already been broken by Celestial Venerable Mu!
It would be fine if it was the real Celestial Venerable Mu, but the crux of the matter was that these Celestial Venerables were only devils in their hearts. They were so hard to deal with!
“Everyone, don’t split up!” Xi Tianjun shouted.
Suddenly, the flood of sword lights came rolling over like huge dragons weaving in and out of the valley. Xi Tianjun received the sword lights head-on, and he suddenly felt a few sword lights slashing into his divine treasures. He couldn’t help feeling a chill down his spine, and he hurriedly used all his strength to deal with the sword lights that had invaded his divine treasures. He shouted sternly, “Be careful of his Facing Calamity Sword!”
He was flustered, and his moves were unstable. The flood of sword lights immediately separated everyone!
Expelling the Facing Calamity Sword that had invaded his body, he waved his hand and the pestle flew out. The pestle became thicker, larger, and taller, like a huge pillar.
On the surface of the pillar, all kinds of runes appeared and covered the ground with a whoosh. Following that, all kinds of runes connected to form a chain of Great Dao markings.
Chains crisscrossed, and where the chains coiled, huge demonfall pestles formed. They rose from the ground with a rumble, and the area covered became wider.
Heaven Sovereign had a solemn expression as he stepped on the Great Dao chains to walk forward. Every time he walked past a safe distance, the demonfall pestle would vanish.
Even he, one of the four great heavenly kings of the celestial heavens, had to be careful in this dark valley.
Celestial Venerable Mental Demon Mu continuously barged into his Great Dao chains and was bound by the Great Dao chains. The runes on the Demon Subduing Pestle vibrated and shattered the intruding Celestial Venerable Mental Demon.
“Xi Tianjun!”
He finally met a strong practitioner of the Numinous Sky Realm under his command. That divine general was covered in blood and barely managed to support his body with his divine weapon. He was extremely miserable.
Heaven Monarch Xi quickly walked forward and used the Great Dao chains of the Demon Subduing Pestle to protect him. He said solemnly, “Come to my side. I don’t think Celestial Venerable Mental Demon and Celestial Venerable Mu will be able to invade this place. We just need to set up camp step by step to get close to Celestial Venerable Hao!”
As the two of them got closer, the cry of a master of creation came from the darkness outside. “Be careful! Not only is Celestial Venerable Mental Demon proficient in the sword path, he’s also proficient in transformation! Be wary of his creation divine art!”
Xi Tianjun was astonished. He suddenly heard a swoosh and saw a sword tip sticking out of his chest!
