Chapter 866 — The Dragon King's Remains Stir

To challenge me is to seek your own death. " Xing An kept observing him, nodding repeatedly and muttering, "A disciple of the Heavenly Emperor. No wonder your flesh is tempered so well and your primordial spirit so strong. To deal with you I must use what I keep at the bottom of my chest.

. . Cult Master Shen always thought my path was wrong, that I seize the limbs of others for my own longevity, so wherever I go men cry out to hunt me down, yet none of them understand me. " Few of the treasures in his chest remained, most having been spent in Fallen God Valley, yet at this moment a terrifying aura came from within the chest. Xing An smiled faintly.

"They think I do it for longevity, but that was only the dream of the days when godhood was beyond reach. I now have a higher dream.

" From the chest a massive body slowly crawled forth. It was a colossal thing pieced from dozens of true-god arms, true-god heads, and flesh, crouching there, head after head staring excitedly at Mu Qiubai in the pavilion.

Xing An stood upon this demon god's body and looked toward Mu Qiubai, saying faintly, "You, I have collected. " The colossus soared into the air and lunged at Mu Qiubai. Mu Qiubai's mind went blank.

"What Dao is this? Even in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury no such Great Dao is recorded!

" In the darkness Shen Mu heard divine powers clashing from the direction of the pavilion, his heart stirred, and he followed the disturbance.

Suddenly he stopped. Ahead divine powers erupted and lamplight-like brilliance shone.

"Dao Three of the Earth Mother Primordial Lady? " Came Yan Qiling's voice.

"Dao One of the Great Sun Star Lord!

Dao Two of the Empress!

Dao Sixteen of the Heavenly Dao! Who exactly are you, that you can command the rules of these Great Daos?

" Streaks of light tore the darkness, and Shen Mu looked over to see Yan Qiling encountering the "Heavenly Venerable Yu". Yan Qiling's cultivation and strength were extremely formidable.

He had fought Yan Qiling and had nearly been beaten to death on the spot by this woman. Yan Qiling studied under the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor, and the Dao Ancestor must have sorted through all the Daos under heaven and entrusted them to this Ancient God Heavenly Emperor, so Yan Qiling knew all manner of Great Dao powers.

More crucially, Yan Qiling had also gained the Heavenly Emperor's true transmission and cultivated the Heavenly Emperor's Dao One great power, its might unspeakably terrifying! Yet the "Heavenly Venerable Yu" facing her was still more terrifying. Yan Qiling merely knew the various Great Dao powers, while the "Heavenly Venerable Yu" plucked them forth at will, each performed to the utmost of subtlety, each of fearsome power, comparable to an ancient god of the same realm casting them himself!

Yan Qiling fell into disadvantage, then suddenly gave a stern shout and at last unleashed the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's Dao One great power. In that instant the rules of the Dao erupted as if the Heavenly Emperor himself had descended, and a dreadful surge rushed toward the "Heavenly Venerable Yu".

At the very same moment the "Heavenly Venerable Yu" unleashed the identical Dao One great power, and under Yan Qiling's horrified gaze the two Dao One powers collided, and in a blink the bursting light lit up hundreds of miles! Yan Qiling spat blood and tumbled back, then her body swayed and turned into a swallow black above and white below, beating its wings to flee. The "Heavenly Venerable Yu" had just pursued for two steps when he abruptly halted and turned to look toward Shen Mu. Shen Mu's gaze met his, and in the air it was as if two invisible fists had slammed together, churning the air between them and raising a wild wind.

"I see you--, hehehe.

. .

" A huge head in the sky was flying swiftly this way. Shen Mu extended a hand in a gesture of invitation, the "Heavenly Venerable Yu" smiled faintly, and the two walked forward. The light of the Dao One great power dimmed, and the two vanished into the darkness, yet still kept walking on.

Through the darkness surged a fishy corpse reek as the Heavenly Dragon King's great head flew in from the sky, laughing hehe, "I see you. .

.

" Shen Mu and the "Heavenly Venerable Yu" kept walking forward, the "Heavenly Venerable Yu" strolling through the darkness with his hands behind his back. "In that battle at Jade Pool you shocked the world, your powers peerless, commanding admiration. Even recalling it now, your powers may still be counted as undiminished.

I have already met Heavenly Venerable Shen. Once grown, he overwhelms his age in skill, though pity he has cultivated for too short a time.

" Shen Mu's steps were steady, his voice deep.

"You now come only borrowing an imperfect flesh, your cultivation and strength nothing very strong.

To kill you would not be too troublesome for me. " The "Heavenly Venerable Yu" laughed aloud.

"You think the powers of the Heavenly Court have stood still and made no advance? You are too naive. The powers of the Heavenly Court have long progressed to a stage beyond your imagining. A million years, Heavenly Venerable Mu. A million years have passed since you dominated the Jade Pool gathering.

You cannot possibly imagine to what stage powers have developed in a million years. " He mocked, "You still wallow in your glory of a million years ago. The so-called frog in the well describes none but you.

" Hoo-- A huge dragon head thrust in between the two, green corpse qi billowing around the Heavenly Dragon King, his two eyeballs rolling one to the left and one to the right, stinking corpse fluid flowing from his mouth as he laughed hehe, "I see you both. . . " Shen Mu and the "Heavenly Venerable Yu" erupted almost at once, striking at each other across the huge corpse-dragon head!
