Chapter 1030 — Ambushing That Heavenly Emperor

" Shen Mu's expression grew urgent, and he said in a low voice, "His divine consciousness has certainly not left the Primordial World. Instead, it will attach itself to the gods and demons of this world and continue searching for my trail.

Both Divine Kings, I am about to establish contact with the Grand Emperor.

Are you prepared? " Divine King Langwo hurriedly mustered her divine consciousness. Hers was incomparably formidable, instantly spreading across the thirty-five layers of void and condensing into all manner of consciousness-refining divine arts.

Shujun hesitated a moment, then stepped forward. "Holy Infant, how powerful is the Grand Emperor's divine consciousness?

If we ambush him, we will have thoroughly offended him. Moreover, his divine consciousness, his Great Luo Heaven, is concealed in the Ultimate Void. If you summon him, he can lock onto our location and strike down from the Ultimate Void. .

.

" "Divine King Shujun, I have long since offended the Grand Emperor to the utmost. Offending him once more is merely icing on the cake. " Shen Mu's Soul-Guiding Art established a link with the consciousness in the jade bottle, then traced it to its source, sensing wave upon wave of terrifying divine consciousness.

He laughed heartily. "The Grand Emperor's divine consciousness is about to be summoned by me!

We strike with a prepared mind against an unprepared one, hit him from ambush, and flee. He won't be able to touch us!

" A numbness ran across Divine King Shujun's scalp, and sensing the dreadful fluctuations in the void, he made a snap decision and released all his divine consciousness to help Divine King Langwo lay down a void-refining grand formation.

Though he had not yet reached his peak condition, his insight and experience remained, and he could help Divine King Langwo fill certain gaps in her refining arts.

"Divine King Langwo, we must seal the Thirty-Fifth Void. We cannot let the Grand Emperor descend from the Ultimate Void!

" Divine King Shujun directed Divine King Langwo, and the two Divine Kings joined forces to seal the Thirty-Fifth Void around them. Divine King Langwo praised him inwardly.

Though Shujun was a Creator-God Divine King from the primeval age, and much of his knowledge had fallen behind the times, his insight and vision were extremely high, with unique merits. The moment they finished laying down the refining formation in the thirty-five layers of void, a supremely dreadful fluctuation answered Shen Mu's call and was summoned forth.

At the source of the Yong River in the Primordial World, chunks of the Grand Emperor's Heavenly Lord corpse had sunk into deep mountains and vast marshes, and his bronze coffin had fallen into a mountain stream; the lid was open, rolling with thick corpse aura. At this time, many outlandishly garbed divine beings hastened there. These divine beings were wrapped in white robes, with their heads and faces hidden within their hoods.

They had come from the Heavenly Court, and each carried a huge cinnabar-red gourd on his back.

Whenever a white-robed divine being reached a chunk of flesh, the great gourd issued billowing rays of light and drew out the divine consciousness within it. Those flesh chunks still contained Kaihuang's sword dao, which suppressed the Grand Emperor's consciousness and ceaselessly ground away at it.

If this continued, the Grand Emperor's consciousness would inevitably be worn away entirely by Kaihuang's sword dao. However, the cinnabar-red gourds of these white-robed divine beings possessed an incredible marvel: they could draw out the Grand Emperor's consciousness without setting off the lingering power of Kaihuang's sword dao.

Even so, they had to be extremely careful not to touch the chunks, lest they provoke Kaihuang's divine power.

They had already collected most of it when, at that very moment, an inexplicable force surged in, tugging at all of the Grand Emperor's divine consciousness and sweeping it away with a roar. Even the consciousness that had already been gathered into the gourds was pulled out.

Streams of light rushed forth from the gourd mouths, turning in midair into ten thousand gorgeous rays that blazed away. "Damnation!

" The Grand Emperor's consciousness shook, sending peals like a thousand thunders crashing at once into the minds of the white-robed divine beings.

"Seal the Heaven-Knowing Spirit Gourds this instant! " The white-robed divine beings clapped the lids onto the spirit gourds at once, but the strange summons was so powerful that it lifted even these Heaven-Knowing Spirit Gourds off the ground, flying eastward.

From the Heavenly Lord corpse chunks, the Grand Emperor's consciousness flew out uncontrolled, seized by Shen Mu's improved Soul-Guiding Art. The white-robed divine beings each clutched a great gourd and channeled their magical power to hold their ground, yet still many of the Heaven-Knowing Spirit Gourds flew away.

"Useless things!

" Suddenly the consciousness within one gourd flew out and drilled into the body of a white-robed divine being. After the Grand Emperor had thus borrowed this life, that divine being was immediately borne up by Shen Mu's Soul-Guiding Art and sent hurtling eastward.

At the same time, the other gourds burst open, and the Grand Emperor's consciousness inside them flew out, all converging into the body of the white-robed divine being he had possessed.

That white-robed divine being was a True God, unable to resist Shen Mu's summons, dragged madly toward the Fallen God Valley. The valley was exceedingly far from there, but at this summoning speed, it would not be long before he was hauled into the valley and refined by Shen Mu!

"You little whelp! Do you think you can rob me of my divine consciousness?

You underestimate me!

" The white-robed divine being raged, mustering every scrap of magical power in that borrowed body to suppress its flight, but still he was pulled eastward. Ahead appeared a divine city—the garrison of the Heavenly Court's army of gods and demons stationed in the Primordial World.

The white-robed divine being's eyes brightened; he abruptly opened his mouth, and a flood of light burst forth like a waterfall torrent, hurtling toward the city.

The radiance shrieked down, blazing and brilliant, engulfing the whole city. More than a hundred thousand gods and demons in the city had no time to react before they were drowned in that light.

Like a thousand tendrils, the light bored into their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, and at once all of them were seized by the Soul-Guiding Art, leaping into the air and flying toward the Fallen God Valley. The commander guarding the divine city was a great expert of the Lingxiao Realm; he immediately activated his divine powers, but in the next moment he, too, was possessed by the Grand Emperor's consciousness.

The Grand Emperor controlled the hundred thousand-plus gods and demons as they rose together, their bodies interweaving in midair to form a great war formation.

The formation flew through the void, a spectacle of overwhelming, soul-shaking grandeur. "Heavenly Lord Mu! You have provoked me again and again.

Today, let me show you the might of an ancient ruler! "
