Chapter 1271 — Attachment to His Mother
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
Consort Qiang used her divine consciousness to disturb Hao Heaven Venerable, making him believe she was Lady Yuanmu, granting him that sliver of a moment.
And now, behind the Grand Emperor's head, a whole expanse of Heavenly Palaces formed a Heavenly Court; though their number did not match Hao Heaven Venerable's, they still numbered as many as thirty, and in an instant the Grand Emperor, who had seemed just now to be at death's door, became radiant with vigor.
Boom— The artifact, Imperial Heaven Venerable, laid its palm upon the Grand Emperor's head, transforming into a great abyss that swallowed his skull, and the Grand Emperor did not resist the blow at all.
With one punch he blasted through Hao Heaven Venerable's thirty-five Heavenly Palaces; the Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness erupted within the Heavenly Court and cast Hao Heaven Venerable's primordial spirit into it. And his other strike pierced through the back of Hao Heaven Venerable's heart, shattering his heart to pieces.
At the same time, Hao Heaven Venerable's blow landed upon Consort Qiang.
She neither dodged nor flinched, taking the strike head-on; every bone in her body was shattered, bursting through her flesh with a crackling din as she was sent hurtling backward.
Yet Consort Qiang's divine-consciousness art pierced into Hao Heaven Venerable's brain, and the art erupted within it.
On the other side came a great crack.
The Returning Abyss divine art of the artifact, Imperial Heaven Venerable, wrenched the Grand Emperor's head clean off and swallowed it into the abyss. The Grand Emperor, headless, seemed nonetheless wholly unaffected; he reached out to seize Hao Heaven Venerable's primordial spirit, which had fallen into the Great Luotian of Divine Consciousness.
The artifact, Imperial Heaven Venerable, drew a Myriad Dao Heaven Wheel from the abyss and swung it down; the Grand Emperor had just seized Hao Heaven Venerable's primordial spirit when his arm was already severed.
At this moment Consort Qiang, reduced to a puddle of mire, burst forth in divine consciousness and rushed into the space between the brows of the artifact, Imperial Heaven Venerable; the palm that was chopping at the Grand Emperor's body halted at once.
The Grand Emperor's lone arm, with a crack, drove through the chest of the artifact, Imperial Heaven Venerable.
