Chapter 1391 — Mother and Son, Flesh and Blood Turned Against Each Other

Long Xiao could scarcely control his own divine consciousness. He was just about to marshal his nine heads to bite through the summoning art formed by his own divine consciousness when, at that very moment, the figure of a woman descended from another world.

That petite figure actually pressed down upon him with such force that his nine heads bowed low against his will, filling him with utter humiliation.

Though this petite figure was utterly unfamiliar to him, the attributes of her divine consciousness were all too familiar.

It was the same divine-consciousness attribute as that of Heavenly Venerable Gong Yun, the other Divine King among the Three Ancient Kings!

The newcomer was Heavenly Venerable Gong Yun!

"Among the Three Ancient Kings, I am foremost. Though I am no match for the Great Emperor, I am not far behind him. Gong Yun and Shu Jun are only fit to carry my shoes!"

Long Xiao struggled with all his might against the invasion of Heavenly Venerable Gong's divine consciousness. The instant Heavenly Venerable Gong descended, she sought to invade his divine consciousness and subjugate him, filling him with immense humiliation.

"But now, Shu Jun is still a frail and wretched little ghost, while Gong Yun has already grown this powerful—even stronger than me!"

Fortunately, Heavenly Venerable Gong saw that she could not subjugate him in short order, and immediately abandoned the attempt. Her figure flickered, and with a sudden swing of her long whip, she ensnared Qiang Tianfei, who was attacking Langxuan Shenhuang.

Qiang Tianfei, set upon by two Heavenly Venerables at once and now locked by Heavenly Venerable Gong's long whip, immediately knew who had arrived. She thought to herself with dread: "I've been schemed against by Mu Tianzun again!"

Langxuan Shenhuang's divine-primal finger strike came piercing through with a chi sound, boring straight through her forehead. The strike was so ferocious that it pierced through layer upon layer of heavenly palaces behind her head in succession, blasting a great hole clean through her Greater Heaven Court!

Heavenly Venerable Gong drew back her whip, pulling Qiang Tianfei close, and pressed a palm onto the center of Qiang Tianfei's back.

Qiang Tianfei's forehead was split open with a great hole, transparent from front to back, and now her back received another heavy blow. Immediately blood sprayed from her mouth, and her aura rapidly withered.

Langxuan Shenhuang had originally been at a disadvantage, unable to overcome Qiang Tianfei, but with Heavenly Venerable Gong's aid, his divine might unfurled. He swiftly flew over, his divine consciousness erupting and crashing toward Qiang Tianfei's brain.

Heavenly Venerable Gong's ten fingers danced, striking in succession at the Great Divine-Consciousness Heaven that Qiang Tianfei had manifested, seeking to break through her Great Divine-Consciousness Heaven so that Langxuan Shenhuang could succeed and slay her.

Chi—

Langxuan Shenhuang pointed a finger, piercing through Heavenly Venerable Gong's forehead.

The back of Heavenly Venerable Gong's skull exploded, and even the primal spirit in her heaven court was severely wounded—her primal spirit's skull was pierced through by this single finger strike!

"Xuan'er…"

Heavenly Venerable Gong's eyes were blank as she turned her head, staring at Langxuan Shenhuang in disbelief.

Langxuan Shenhuang's expression was calm, utterly unconcerned, as he continued to deal lethal blows to both her and Qiang Tianfei: "Mother, the era of the Creator has long since passed. Since Father buried you in the Ancestral Court, why must you return to life and wade into these troubled waters? This era belongs to your child, not to you."

"Indeed, the children of traitors cannot be trusted—even one's own flesh and blood…"

Heavenly Venerable Gong laughed bitterly, her divine consciousness erupting as she withstood Langxuan Shenhuang's second strike by sheer force. At the same time, Qiang Tianfei roared again and again, desperately launching attacks at Langxuan Shenhuang!

Langxuan Shenhuang laughed heartily, taking on both Heavenly Venerables head-on, and declared in a loud voice: "You are both gravely wounded and no match for me. Great Emperor, Mother, let me send you on your way!"

He took the attacks of both Heavenly Venerables head-on, his strength boundless and unmatched, forcing both Heavenly Venerables into a disadvantageous position.

Suddenly, Long Xiao's nine heads flew into a frenzy as he strode into the fray. His nine heads wove and interlocked high and low, hammering in succession upon Langxuan Shenhuang's primal spirit. His massive body actually forced its way into Langxuan Shenhuang's heaven court, crushing numerous heavenly palaces as he charged toward Langxuan's primal spirit.

Langxuan was instantly thrown into disarray. With his heavenly palaces damaged and his primal spirit wounded, Heavenly Venerable Gong and Qiang Tianfei seized the opportunity, unleashing blow after blow upon his body.

Langxuan Shenhuang tumbled and rolled, beaten down into the dust.

Long Xiao's nine heads let out furious roars as he simultaneously dealt lethal blows to Qiang Tianfei, Langxuan Shenhuang, and Heavenly Venerable Gong: "Lowly beings, submit to me obediently and serve as my mounts…"

The next moment, Long Xiao's dragon horns snapped, his dragon scales shattered, and he was sent tumbling backward.

Immediately after, the four terrifying beings surged into the sky once more, plunging into chaotic battle.

Meanwhile, within the divine-consciousness cage, the First Ancestor, Shu Jun, Lan Yutian, and the others saw Shen Mu's arrival and could not help but rejoice. Lan Yutian laughed, "I told you my brother would come to save us, didn't I? Was I wrong?"

He had a blind confidence in Shen Mu.

Xu Shenghua said, "Now that he's saved us, he'll be smug about it for days."

Yet an almost imperceptible smile still crossed his face. "But Sect Master Shen is as reliable as ever, putting one's mind at ease. As long as he is here, we will surely pull through."

Shu Jun quickly said, "Mu Tianzun, be careful of those giant beasts! Their strength is terrifying!"

Before his voice even faded, the attack of the giant beast guarding the divine-consciousness cage had already arrived behind Shen Mu!

Shen Mu took a single step forward, walking into the divine-consciousness cage, evading the attack of the giant beast that guarded it.

The people in the cage were still worrying about his safety, and seeing him step into the cage the very next moment, they were all left dumbstruck, mouths agape, unable to speak.

Thud.

The Human Sovereign of the Five Ancestors sat down heavily on the ground, looking utterly desolate. "It's over…"

The others also wore expressions of dejection. Shen Mu had actually walked into the divine-consciousness cage as well. Even he had fallen into this trap. Now none of them could get out—was that not the very definition of "over"?

Shen Mu looked around and praised, "This place isn't bad at all. The accommodations Long Xiao prepared for you are quite spacious."

"Not bad, my ass!"

Shu Jun also plopped down on the ground and raged, "Why did you run in here too? Now it's over, completely over! We can only serve as mounts for that bastard Long Xiao! Good thing there are enough of us—taking turns, he'd need a month or two to ride us all!"

Shen Mu smiled. Even the First Ancestor Human Sovereign could not help himself, stammering, "You're still laughing! The way you do things is always so unreliable, and you're still laughing…"

Xu Shenghua said in a low voice, "Everyone, there's no need to panic. Lan Yutian has the ability to carry one person through this divine-consciousness cage. We only need to catch these giant beasts off guard and have Lan Yutian carry Sect Master Shen out of the cage. We still have a chance."
