Chapter 1581 — Invincible Under Heaven

Lord Hao snorted coldly. "Twenty-six thousand Shen Mus?

What is there for me to fear?

At worst, I will slay them one by one and erase you completely from the long river of history! " Yet despite his words, he steeled himself and devoted every ounce of his strength to the fight.

Shen Mu's divine ability was far too uncanny; it spanned forty thousand years of time like a great river of ages, and everywhere bore the imprint of Shen Mu's figure. Though Lord Ling had been the originator of the Unchanging Divine Ability, when it came to wielding it with consummate mastery, one still had to look to Shen Mu.

For Lord Hao to do battle against more than twenty-six thousand Shen Mus was tantamount to fighting from the present age all the way back to forty thousand years ago. One could well imagine how arduous that would be!

Yet this battle, no matter what, he had to take up.

He absolutely could not tolerate Lord Xiao obtaining the Celestial Emperor's body!

As he was now, he was still one thread short of imprinting his power upon the Ultimate Void, for to imprint power upon the Ultimate Void, both body and primordial spirit had to enter the Ultimate Void together. There, the winds of cold silence howled, and without the strongest of bodies, none could survive!

This too was why the Great Emperor could not send his own body into the Ultimate Void.

But the Celestial Emperor's body was stronger still, the only body with any chance of entering the Ultimate Void without being destroyed!

Whoever obtained it might imprint their power upon the Great Luo Heaven and seize an invincible station!

He fought with all his might, and one Shen Mu after another fell at his feet, ground away by him.

Yet the wounds upon his body grew ever more numerous and ever more grievous. Even with Goddess Tai Su, that ancient goddess who could make things come true at will, she could not heal the wounds Shen Mu had left upon him! Shen Mu was a Heavenly Venerable who had established his dao through divine ability, and his divine ability could well be called peerless under heaven.

Looking back across the opening of the cosmos, when Primordial Chaos first divided, down to the present span of several billion years, not one person had ever raised divine ability to Shen Mu's height! The difficulty of breaking Shen Mu's divine ability was beyond imagination! As the battle wore on, Lord Hao's body was battered and torn, his chest pierced clean through, and yet he had only killed one-tenth of the Shen Mus within those forty thousand years of history!

If the battle continued, he would surely be beaten to a pulp by Shen Mu, smashed into mud, until neither his primordial spirit nor his body remained!

This could be called the most perilous battle he had ever known in all his life! Lord Hao had never imagined that this opponent, Shen Mu, would actually force him to such a pass!

"Hao'er, I can place you in an undefeatable position. " Goddess Tai Su's voice came, and she smiled.

"You should know what to do.

" Lord Hao slew yet another Shen Mu, and upon hearing this he immediately knelt, kissed Goddess Tai Su's toes, and sincerely worshipped her.

"Aunt, please save Hao'er!

" Goddess Tai Su was well pleased.

Her companion supreme treasure immediately transformed into a great bell that descended to cover Lord Hao and shield him. She smiled.

"Having observed for so long, I have seen through his flaw. It is this: though Lord Mu's strength is great, the power of his divine ability is not enough to break my companion supreme treasure. I need only use this great bell to shield you and I can keep you safe, letting you slay him smoothly all the way without the slightest effort! " Lord Hao was both astonished and delighted, and bowed again and again. Sure enough, Shen Mu attacked once more. The power of the One Qi Primordial Dao Journey divine ability was indeed incomparably terrifying, but when it met the great bell transformed from Goddess Tai Su's companion supreme treasure, it had met its nemesis.

The great bell tolled and quaked, completely blocking this strike, and beneath the bell Lord Hao smoothly slew Shen Mu.

So it went again and again, without the slightest hindrance. Lord Hao's heart settled greatly.

If this continued, before long he would kill Shen Mu, slay him within the forty-thousand-year river of history, and reduce him to ashes. Suddenly, another Shen Mu appeared, and this Shen Mu did not use the One Qi Primordial Dao Journey divine ability at all, but instead pointed a single finger!

Clang!

The great bell shook violently, deafening to the ear, and at the same time Lord Hao struck out and slew him. Goddess Tai Su hurriedly looked toward the great bell, and saw that a finger mark had appeared upon its wall.

Her expression changed drastically. This supreme treasure of hers was transformed from the Dao of Great Simplicity within the Egg of Great Simplicity.

It was her companion supreme treasure, and could be called one of the most remarkable supreme treasures under heaven.

Even the unity of the fifty heavens' daos, even Emperor Kai's Sorrowless Sword or Lord Hao's Heavenly Wheel of Ten Thousand Daos, all fell short of this supreme treasure by a hundred and eight thousand li.

Yet Shen Mu's single finger had left a finger mark upon this supreme treasure, which meant that Shen Mu's strike just now had possessed the power to wound her companion supreme treasure!

That was the Primordial Finger. Born from the dao patterns of the master of the Miluo Palace, the Primordial Finger's power had reaches that even Heavenly Venerables could not attain!

A hidden worry arose in Goddess Tai Su's heart. The Primordial Finger could not merely wound her companion supreme treasure; more terrifying still, it prevented her companion supreme treasure from recovering.

Her companion supreme treasure could transform in a thousand ways, could at any moment become the Dao of Great Simplicity and evolve into different forms. The Dao of Great Simplicity had form and substance but no body, and so it could change into any appearance and swiftly recover to its original state without leaving the slightest damage.

Yet the power of the Primordial Finger had actually damaged the Dao of Great Simplicity.

This was the most terrifying point of all!

Clang!

Clang! Clang!

One Shen Mu after another stubbornly used the Primordial Finger again and again, never changing moves, making the finger mark on the great bell deeper and larger.

After a hundred or so times, Goddess Tai Su's companion supreme treasure was actually pierced through by a single finger! Goddess Tai Su ached secretly, but she had already boasted so boldly that she could not now stop.

"Still, though Lord Mu is fierce, he will never understand the power of the Dao of Great Simplicity!

" With a thought, the great bell became a great cauldron borne upon the qi of chaos, continuing to shield Lord Hao and withstand Shen Mu's Primordial Finger head-on.

Then Goddess Tai Su's expression changed.

Upon the great cauldron transformed from her companion supreme treasure, there was actually a finger hole as well!

This finger hole was the finger hole from the great bell.

She had not expected that when the great bell became the great cauldron, there would still be a finger hole! "My companion supreme treasure has been wounded.

" Goddess Tai Su's heart ached beyond measure.

"I have staked so much upon Lord Hao.

Is this investment worth it?

I sought audience with Tai Yi, and Tai Yi said I had misjudged people, hinting that I should abandon Lord Hao and go help that boy Lord Mu, and that in the future there would still be a chance to attain the dao. Should I continue to support Lord Hao.

. .

" She hesitated a moment, then immediately cast the thought aside.

"Lord Mu is too far from the dao, and he is also my great enemy, while Lord Hao is on the verge of attaining the dao.
