Chapter 1581 — Invincible Under Heaven

Lord Mu is unruly and hard to control, and would never worship me, whereas Lord Hao sincerely kneels to me and is under my control. Tai Yi is not omnipotent or omniscient either, so why should I listen to him? " At this moment, upon the great desert, yellow sand filled the sky. Lord Xiao slowly rose from the blood-stained yellow sand, his aura surging to the heavens.

He had been wounded by Shen Mu using the Tai Yi cane to execute the Tribulation-Breaking Sword. This Tribulation-Breaking Sword was most skilled at breaking dao runes from the very source of the dao, and even he had to dodge when encountering such a move. Just now he had been ambushed by Lord Hao and Goddess Tai Su and had failed to evade, and so was wounded. The wounds upon his body could not be repaired even with the Profound Art of Creation, which made him frown. He looked up and saw Shen Mu and Lord Ling standing upon the God-Slaying Platform, one on either side of the Celestial Emperor's body.

As for Lord Hao and Goddess Tai Su, they had already vanished.

Lord Xiao swayed his body, forcibly suppressed his wounds to keep them from bleeding, and strode toward the God-Slaying Platform.

His voice was loud and deep, like thunder rolling across the desert. "Hao'er must have fallen for the divine ability you left in the mist, has he not? " He drew closer step by step to Shen Mu and Lord Ling.

That heavenly river had vanished, leaving only rolling yellow sand, without a trace of moisture. "His wisdom is still somewhat lacking, not the equal of mine.

When I passed the first phantom you left in the heavenly river, I sensed the Unchanging Divine Ability.

He was a bit foolish.

He passed through your phantom, and though he came here to ambush me, he was also sent by you into the heavenly river. " Lord Xiao drew nearer and nearer, his qi and blood growing stronger and stronger.

Behind him the thirty-six heavenly palaces joined like pearls in a strand, forming one complete great heavenly court, within which divine light surged to the heavens and dao sounds roared, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Lord Xiao was like a great emperor ruling all heavens and myriad worlds, descending upon the God-Slaying Platform. Shen Mu and Lord Ling upon the platform did not look like his enemies, but like his captives, captives awaiting beheading and public display!

His frame grew taller and larger, and before he had even reached the front of the God-Slaying Platform, Shen Mu and Lord Ling already had to look up at him. "As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Hao'er was somewhat impatient. But I was far more composed.

I destroyed the Creator race, absorbed all the Creators, devoured the Void of the Other Shore and the Realm of Primordial Spirits, and came here at leisure. " Lord Xiao took a single step and arrived before the God-Slaying Platform. Though the platform was exceedingly tall, compared to him it seemed incomparably squat, and Shen Mu and Lord Ling upon it seemed as tiny as ants.

"He would fall for your tricks. I will not. " Lord Xiao looked down upon the two, his powerful imperial might pressing them until their bodies grew unsteady, their bones crackling.

"Not only did I not fall for your tricks, I also devoured and refined half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit. Even you, Lord Ling, your Unchanging Divine Ability has been broken by me!

" His aura grew stronger still. The vast heavenly court hung high above the God-Slaying Platform, pressing Shen Mu and Lord Ling until they could scarcely stand, nearly forced to kneel upon the ground! Shen Mu supported Lord Ling with one hand and leaned upon the Tai Yi cane with the other, forcibly holding on.

Lord Xiao smiled. "Once I return to my body and devour the Great Emperor's consciousness and the Great Luo Heaven, I will attain the dao! Mu, Ling, you are the Heavenly Venerables I appointed.

I can grant you the title of Heavenly Venerable, and I can also strip it away, and even take your lives!

There is no need to resist me any longer. I am already invincible! " "Is that so? " A calm, indifferent voice came from behind Shen Mu.

Emperor Kai walked out from the shadows behind Shen Mu and looked toward one side of the desert, not at the towering Lord Xiao, and said mildly, "You say you are invincible. Did you ask me?

" He turned around and glanced at the incomparably powerful Lord Xiao.

"A dao-attainer who does not even have a dao tree, and you dare call yourself invincible before me? " His eyes were cold as he looked at Lord Xiao, as though looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, then put away the Celestial Emperor's body. Pulling Lord Ling by the hand, he rapidly retreated, calling out loudly, "Emperor Kai, are you up to it?

Tai Chu attained the dao through force, and he is extremely formidable as well!

" "Whether I am up to it, we will only know by testing swords. " Emperor Kai stood upon the God-Slaying Platform with his hands behind his back, facing the incomparably powerful Lord Xiao, and said indifferently, "Tai Chu, even if you had not appointed us as Heavenly Venerables back then, we would still have become Heavenly Venerables. You cannot change that.

Make your move. I will let you know what a true Heavenly Venerable is!

"
