Venerable Ling's method of breaking it was the Way of Creation, and the Way of Creation was the foundation of the divine ability of Immutable Matter. Shen Mu already understood the Immutable Divine Ability extremely well; to comprehend a method of breaking it and use it to break Great Hong's Supreme Divine-Sense Domain was precisely the right approach! His sword light burst forth within the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain. In an instant, the sword tip flickered, and countless runes leaped out from the tip, filling the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain.
Great Hong immediately felt his Supreme Divine-Sense Domain congealing, reversing, and his mind roared. He was cautious by nature. The Great Emperor's true body had gone to the Great Void, preparing to exterminate the Creators there, while this borrowed-life body guarded the entrance to the Great Void.
The Great Emperor's true body had died, his divine sense trapped. Great Hong could not help but fly into a towering rage, but he knew that at this moment he was no match for the three Venerables Yun, Yue, and Ling.
So in his fury he flew straight to the Empyrean Heavenly Court, preparing to destroy it and vent his wrath. Yet what he had not expected was that Shen Mu would be waiting here, and would force him to unleash the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain, causing him to fall into the trap.
How similar this scene was to the one in the Great Void! However, he had already suffered that loss once. Now his divine-sense domain had not yet fully congealed, had not yet fully reversed; he still had a chance! Even though his cultivation was currently limited, so long as he killed Shen Mu before Shen Mu's breaking divine ability was complete, he could interrupt the reversal of the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain!
"Die! " The two roared simultaneously.
Within the Heavenly Dragon treasure palanquin, an incomparably brilliant light erupted, like a massive sphere of radiance expanding madly outward!
The waters of the Celestial River were pressed aside by that sphere of light, forming a huge ball of water that surged outward without cease! Boom— A terrifying tremor swept out in all directions.
Amid the quaking, streaks of sword light darted and interwove like roaming dragons within the sphere of light; dimly, the Thirty-Three Heavens could be glimpsed. And a great spear transformed into a dragon vein, a thousand mountains and ten thousand peaks bursting through the Thirty-Three Heavens!
Shen Mu's vertical eye at the center of his brow opened.
The Primeval Egg, the Horn of Tubo, and the Primeval Raw Stone all erupted at once, transforming into a dazzling divine light that met the Great Emperor's divine spear! Within his Sagely Pupil, ten thousand paths thundered, emitting the Dao-sound of ten thousand gods chanting in unison!
Another even more terrifying tremor arrived, more dreadful than the last, quickly overtaking the first sphere of light and sweeping out in all directions at even greater speed! At last the light dispersed.
A full five hundred li of the Celestial River had vanished.
The Heavenly Dragon treasure palanquin plummeted from midair. At the same moment, an azure bird spread its wings and rose, roaring as it swelled, its wings whirling madly in the air, then with a thunderous burst it tore through the sky and vanished without a trace.
Countless white clouds in the sky were scattered by its passing; no sign of the azure bird remained.
Within the treasure palanquin, Shen Mu collapsed in a heap, his chest cavity blown apart, severed limbs flying. Yan'er had just rushed into the carriage when she saw Shen Mu's four limbs scattered across the floor, leaving only a head, which rolled twice upon the ground.
Shen Mu's head, eyes wide open, came to rest at Yan'er's feet.
"Young Master. .
. " Yan'er dropped to her knees with a thud, her hands trembling as she reached out to close Shen Mu's eyes.
"Yan'er, stop fooling around. . .
