Chapter 1631 — The Tide Has Turned
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
The power held within a perfect heavenly court was simply too vast; a mere twenty-eight heavens sufficed to imprint the Ultimate Void! The two completed their killing arts at almost the same instant—and at that same instant each fell under the other's killing art! Kaihuang rose to his full height, and saw all around him ceaselessly revolving heavenly palaces and treasure halls, which became a vast wheel around him, spinning madly, crushing.
Hao Tianzun, for his part, saw a dao tree appear before him, and his expression shifted despite himself. "Were it not for the Fourth Young Master's Zixiao Hall, I would surely be unable to block this thrust of yours.
A pity.
" Behind his head the phantom of the Zixiao Hall emerged, meeting the dao tree that Kaihuang's final thrust had become.
Youdu. Deprived of Langwan's empowerment, Yue Tianzun's form was at once exposed in the thirty-fifth heaven of the void. The power within the void swept in, etherizing flesh and spirit alike, flattening her body beyond measure, stretching it in every direction.
Yet Yue Tianzun invoked the Zaiji Xukong Scripture, and flesh and spirit were restored at once.
Her art was named Zaiji Xukong—Spanning the Poles of the Void. Zai and Ji were two extremes, one infinitely great, one infinitely small; the Void signified yet another quality of her art.
As early as the Longhan Era, when she dealt with Taidi, she had already learned what she knew of the void from the Creator. The Void Bridge in the Great Void was built within the thirty-fifth heaven of the void, and the three chambers at its far end she had designed and built herself, fusing the dao of space with the dao of the void to perfection, forging them into an insurmountable pass that held invaders back.
That the three chambers were not destroyed by the thirty-fifth heaven of the void was thanks to her art, the Zaiji Xukong Scripture.
By then Yue Tianzun had already been able to enter the thirty-fifth heaven of the void, and now it was naturally nothing to her; in the battle of the Daluo Heaven of consciousness, she could even use her divine power to send Ling Tianzun into the Ultimate Void!
Yet just as she gained firm footing in the thirty-fifth heaven of the void, suddenly the first through thirty-fifth heavens of the void twisted violently, becoming one massive wheel of flame! Fire Tianzun's body rose slowly, growing larger and larger; the thirty-five heavens of the void coiled around Yue Tianzun and, behind his head, became a void-ring of dao fire!
Without Langwan's aid, she at once fell under Fire Tianzun's control!
At the same time, the two Taiji ancient gods each raised a palm, and the Taiji Starfield spun and took shape, trapping Langwan within. Langwan at once roused her consciousness; the divine powers of her consciousness were unfathomable in their transformations.
She visualized divine powers of every form, visualizing even Shen Mu's divine powers and Kaihuang's sword dao, and hurled them at the two ancient gods outside the Taiji Starfield. "God King, there is no need to struggle. " The two ancient gods spoke in unison: "Your way of consciousness has not reached its peak and cannot threaten us. The dao of Taiji gives birth to and transforms all things, gives birth to and transforms all daos—it is the very bane of your consciousness's visualizations.
Struggle, and you will only suffer for it.
" Langwan shouted, and her body abruptly swelled, revealing the true form of a Creator. She stood towering within the Taiji Starfield like a giant toying with the stars, cradling the River of Stars in her hands!
Having revealed her true form, her consciousness grew vaster and deeper still, visualizing even the stars to throw the Taiji Starfield into disorder. The two ancient gods sighed, rousing the starfield.
