Shen Mu and Bai Yuqiong looked from afar. The Heavenly Court side had split into two camps: on one side stood Red Emperor Qi Xiayu, one of the Four Emperors; on the other stood Lord Xi, Xi Muhong, one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings. Yet another side consisted of the three Celestial Masters under Kaihuang: the First Celestial Master, the Woodcutter Sage; the Second Celestial Master, Yan Yunxi; and the Third Celestial Master, the Martial Celestial Master Zhuo Cha, along with their respective mounts.
Besides them were Patriarch Xiuzhong and Matriarch Silkworm Maiden, among the Creators of the Other Shore. Each of these figures brought a host of gods and demons, but their casualties had been severe. Xiuzhong and the Silkworm Maiden had also brought some Creators, though they too had suffered losses; many must have died along the way, and another batch had perished when they entered the Taixu Demon Realm.
Only the Woodcutter, Yan Yunxi, and the Martial Celestial Master had brought no experts from the Carefree Land.
When Bai Yuqiong saw Yan Yunxi, fire sparked in her eyes. But she and Shen Mu had come this time to eliminate Lord Hao, so it was not convenient to reveal herself; she had no choice but to use spatial arts to conceal their tracks. With her spatial divine ability, Shen Mu could boldly open the vertical eye between his brows and survey his surroundings.
Suddenly his heart tightened.
Under the gaze of his third sacred pupil, every detail of the Divine Artifact Lord Yu's head became crystal clear to him. Within that head, the Great Dao rune imprints of the ancient gods were gone. "In other words, Lord Hao took those imprints and used these ancient gods' Great Dao rune imprints to lay down the formations and arrays that protect him.
" Shen Mu thought, "He knows he is gravely wounded, and that someone will surely seize the chance to kill him. Even his former allies would find it hard to pass up such a golden opportunity.
Truly a Heavenly Lord. Despite being so severely injured, he still managed to leave a hidden move behind. His mind is exceedingly meticulous.
" The four groups of people each climbed onto the head of the Divine Artifact Lord Yu and searched in all directions. That head was like a mountain range.
It was the Heavenly Court's most powerful weapon, yet at this moment it possessed not the slightest power. There were even monsters transformed from heart demons biting and tearing at the flesh and blood of this head. After the crowd disposed of the heart demons and walked over the mountain range transformed from that great head, they saw ahead divine mountains shrouded in ethereal mist, with divine light like rosy clouds drifting among the peaks and streams. Other parts of the Taixu Demon Realm were terrifying and gloomy, but this place seemed like a sacred dwelling, indescribably magnificent and beautiful.
Ahead were four ravines, appearing to lead in different directions. Rosy light rose in steam, covering the sky above the four ravines. The light in the air was blurred and entrancing, like an aurora.
Strangely, there was not even a single heart demon here.
Lord Xi pondered for a moment, then sent a divine general flying into the air. The divine general stood in the sky and looked down, calling out loudly, "Lord Xi, the divine light here is too thick.
It covers the mountains below, so I cannot see what is inside! " Lord Xi said, "Go down and take a look!
" The divine general obeyed and flew into the divine light.
In an instant, his flesh and blood dissolved, his primordial spirit disintegrated, and without even a groan he turned into a pile of shattered bones that fell from the divine light.
Everyone's heart lurched.
They gazed at the divine light in the ravine ahead and hesitated, not daring to advance. The Woodcutter Sage called out loudly, "These divine mountains and rosy light are transformed from the Great Dao runes in the head of the Divine Artifact Lord Yu. Everyone must be careful!
