Chapter 1437 — Peerless Divine Art
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
The divine artifact Yutianzun gave a long whistle, and all the force within it burst forth without the least reserve; at once the mining ground shattered to pieces, the mountains toppled, the sun and moon crumbled, and countless strange visions, giant beasts and gods and spirits among them, dissolved one by one into wisps of yin and yang qi that drifted away. "So you really were fooling me!
" The divine artifact Yutianzun rose to its full height, only to see a raging tide of black sand come rolling in; in an instant the countless grains of black sand in its eyes swelled to immense size, each becoming a planet, and the Great Black Sand Desert became a star system of incomparable magnificence, a billion stars.
It stood, in fact, within a vast starfield, with planets dancing everywhere before its eyes, blotting out its sight entirely. And Qiang Heavenly Consort now discovered that she too had fallen into a starfield churned like porridge; looking around, she could see no trace of the divine artifact Yutianzun or of Jue Wuchen.
"What a Taiji ancient god, with hands and eyes that reach the heavens!
" Qiang Heavenly Consort could not help crying out in praise.
"Not yet born into the world, and already you toy with Heavenly Venerables in the palm of your hand.
If ever you came into the world, what then? Such tricks cannot trap a Heavenly Venerable.
You had best die inside your eggshell, and spare the world the calamity of your birth, as Taichu brought calamity upon it! " She stepped forward, her mighty divine consciousness sweeping all around, pushing the stars aside one after another; when the stars grew too many, she simply stepped into the void, for all the power of the Taiji ancient god could not reach into the void.
Taichu ranks before Taiji; the Dao of Taichu divides into divine consciousness and the innate primordial qi, and divine consciousness excels at entering the void. Qiang Heavenly Consort, as the reincarnation of the Tai Emperor, excelled in divine consciousness, and the perils of the Taiji Starfield were of no use whatsoever against her.
Only when the Taiji ancient god came into the world, entered the Dao, and reached the thirty-fifth heaven of the Dao realm could it threaten the Tai Emperor; and even then it could not threaten the Tai Emperor's fruit of the Dao.
Only if the Taiji ancient god attained the Dao and imprinted itself upon the ultimate void could it pose a mortal threat to the Tai Emperor.
As the Taiji ancient god itself had said, they were still far from the Dao, and must come into the world and undergo its trials amid the dust of mortals before they could attain the Dao. Otherwise, egg-born ancient gods though they were, there were still no few beings in this world that could threaten their lives.
Qiang Heavenly Consort flashed back and forth through the starfield at great speed, searching for the true mining ground, while elsewhere the divine artifact Yutianzun was swallowed by the Guixu Abyss; a great rift raced through the starfield, and wherever it passed, even the stars were devoured. As the eleventh Heavenly Venerable, Lady Yuanmu's Guixu divine power was truly formidable: she passed to and fro, and even the Taiji Starfield could not hold her back.
The two Heavenly Venerables suddenly each made a discovery, and saw before them a mountain range that stretched across the starfield and pinned down countless planets!
That range was terrifying beyond measure, and the shock it gave was beyond imagining.
The surge of Heavenly Venerable power came from precisely there, and this time the surge was clearer still; the two Heavenly Venerables at once realized that this surge was Yan Heavenly Consort's divine power.
"Could Yan Heavenly Consort be trying to kill the Taiji ancient god?
" Both were startled, and hurried toward that mountain range.
