If the third seal were broken, the very next moment the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness would surge into Shen Mu's Primal Embryo Divine Treasury, shatter his consciousness, erase his mind, and turn Shen Mu into another version of himself!
The Three Battles of Heaven's Origin that Shu Jun had imparted collapsed almost at a single touch before the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness. The Tai Emperor's consciousness was so powerful that it exceeded everyone's expectations.
Yue Tingge and Luo Wushuang were beside themselves with anxiety. They looked up and saw the Tai Emperor's figure battling the Heaven Emperor's seal. In the end, the Tai Emperor's phantom proved the superior, shattering the final seal of the Three Battles of Heaven's Origin.
The Three Battles of Heaven's Origin that Shu Jun had passed down differed from the version Shen Mu had improved. In Shen Mu's improved version, the final trial was the Ancient God Heaven Emperor, incomparably more powerful than the traditional Three Battles of Heaven's Origin. Yet even this was easily broken by the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness.
Still, after three layers of seals, the phantom formed from the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness had grown considerably weaker.
Yue Tingge raised his head and looked beyond the heavens. The Tai Emperor's phantom drew ever closer, pressing down until the starry sky of Shen Mu's Primal Embryo Divine Treasury trembled like the surface of water.
Yue Tingge's and Luo Wushuang's divine consciousness and vital essence poured in without cease, causing their bodies to grow ever larger.
Whoosh—
Their primordial spirits arrived first, descending into Shen Mu's divine treasury and landing upon the Taiji Diagram, where they merged with their earlier incarnations.
One of them was at the Imperial Throne Great Perfection realm, the other at the Lingxiao realm. With their primordial spirits present in person, they were naturally far superior to Shen Mu's primordial spirit.
Compared to them, Shen Mu's spirit fetus seemed exceedingly small and insignificant.
Beyond the heavens, the Tai Emperor's phantom descended, invading the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury. Its massive face peered downward, deeply curious about Shen Mu's divine treasury.
"A mere dead man, and you dare stir up trouble?"
Yue Tingge bellowed. Behind his primordial spirit, vital essence transformed into a towering heavenly palace, majestic and vast. His primordial spirit ascended the heavens and went straight to meet the Tai Emperor's phantom.
At the same time, Luo Wushuang raised his saber one-handed and soared into the sky, slashing at the Tai Emperor.
Though neither was a master of divine consciousness, their own cultivation was formidable. Although their consciousness was not as powerful as the Tai Emperor's, they were confident they could put up a fight.
The instant the two of them surged upward, the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness came flooding in vast and mighty. Wherever it passed, their consciousness crumbled at once, unable to withstand a single blow!
With their consciousness shattered, their divine abilities immediately ran wild, their vital essence thrown into chaos. Their primordial spirits plummeted from the sky, their hearts filled with shock.
"Primordial spirits, close combat!" Yue Tingge shouted.
Luo Wushuang understood. Since their divine abilities could not contend with the Tai Emperor's phantom, only their primordial spirits could engage it directly in close combat—only then might they destroy the Tai Emperor's phantom.
Yet in battle, the primordial spirit's role had always been to unleash divine abilities from a distance and blast opponents to death. Close combat with the primordial spirit was considered a great taboo.
After all, the primordial spirit was not a physical body but an energy body forged from the spirit fetus and soul. If it were slain by the opponent, one's soul would scatter and perish!
