Chapter 1546: Forever Sealed
Celestial Venerable Ling suddenly felt an indescribable warmth fill her heart.
She had never felt this way before.
She wanted to say that she had waited for him for too long, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
She could no longer remember how many times she had died. Every time she died, it was so fast and painful. However, the cycle would never end.
Her disciple, Yi Shisheng, sealed the High Emperor Celestial Heavens and collected her corpse in the lower reaches of the celestial river. Every coffin would bury one of her corpses, but when the unchanging divine art burst forth, her corpse would transform into river water.
Just like that, over forty thousand years passed, and her coffin was filled to the brim with High Emperor Celestial Heavens.
For the past forty thousand years, she had been killed repeatedly and even wanted to end everything herself. However, even she couldn't break her divine art. The time left by Grand Emperor Ming Fangyu was too short, and she didn't have time to think about how to break her divine art.
In this series of deaths, even the most mentally strong person would collapse. Celestial Venerable Ling was the same.
When she saw Qin Mu, the shock and gratitude in her heart could be imagined.
She was an incomparably determined person, but no matter how determined she was, she was worn down by the years of death.
As a result, she couldn't shift her gaze away from Qin Mu's face. The warmth from Qin Mu's hand was no longer as cold as when the cold spear had pierced through her body. This made her feel alive.
She couldn't believe what she was feeling.
Only when she heard Qin Mu's voice did this ecstasy bloom from the bottom of her heart and spread throughout her body, turning into a warm current.
On the other side, when the Grand Emperor's primordial god, Ming Fangyu, was forced out of the primordial corporeal body by the cane, he immediately stopped his retreat and rushed towards Celestial Emperor's corporeal body again.
"Grand Emperor, I beat you out of your primordial body, and you still want to come back?"
Qin Mu turned his head back and smiled at the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit that was flying over. "You probably don't know me yet. My name is Qin Mu, the Qin as in threshing grain, and Mu as in the herder of the cows. You can call me Celestial Venerable Mu. Even though you don't know me yet, we have been fighting for a long time."
Even though he was smiling, his attacks were extremely ruthless. He stretched out his hand to grab the God Execution Mysterious Knife, and the two God Execution Mysterious Knives were transformed into one. One knife slashed the heart of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body's brows!
This strike was majestic, fully displaying the tyranny of the knife path!
Ming Fangyu was at the 35th level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, and the God Execution Stage was also at the 35th level. With the God Execution Stage activated, the power of the God Execution Mysterious Knife was also raised to its maximum!
His knife could even heavily injure Founding Emperor and shatter his Dao heart. However, when such a terrifying knife landed on the heart of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, it couldn't even penetrate the skin.
Clang!
Violent tremors came, and the God Execution Mysterious Knife in Qin Mu's hand bounced up high. Qin Mu was astonished. 'Such a strong corporeal body?'
He was in disbelief. He had never seen such a powerful corporeal body!
God Execution Mysterious Knife could even cut open Heaven Duke's corporeal body, but it couldn't even break the skin of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body!
The strength of this corporeal body far surpassed that of the Grand Emperor's corporeal body, reaching an unprecedented level!
'As expected of the strongest primordial being!'
At that moment, even Qin Mu was moved by Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.
To be able to control such a corporeal body, one could be said to be invincible!
He made a prompt decision, and his divine treasure realm spread out. He abandoned his knife as a finger, and his fingers sliced continuously.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. He stretched out one finger after another, and layers of space surged out, pulling the distance between Ming Fangyu and the corporeal body of Absolute Beginning further away.
Ming Fangyu rushed over with a roar. The Grand Emperor's primordial spirit was vast and boundless. With a step, he crossed layers of space that continued to grow and extend. His palms moved forward, and the space in front of him folded up layer by layer, displaying incomparable magic power cultivation and attainments in divine arts!
Qin Mu frowned slightly. Logically speaking, when Celestial Venerable Xiao saw this, he should have made a move to take back his corporeal body. Yet, he still hadn't made a move. This didn't make sense.
However, with the attack of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit in front, he couldn't think too much.
He let go of Celestial Venerable Ling's palm and pushed forward.
Primordial Chaos Dao traveling together!
His palm collided with the hands of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit, and their divine arts burst forth. Qin Mu's black hair fluttered in the wind, and the baleful qi of the God Execution Stage rose into the sky like a waterfall!
The Grand Emperor's primordial spirit pulled back and squeezed into Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, trying to control it again.
Even though Qin Mu was very strong and could be considered his opponent, as long as he entered Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, even ten Qin Mus could be killed in one strike!
Right at this moment, the God Execution Mysterious Knife flew up and slashed towards him.
The Grand Emperor's primordial spirit frowned. He ignored the knife light and forced his way into Celestial Emperor's corporeal body. Unexpectedly, his primordial spirit only managed to get halfway in before Qin Mu tapped the heart of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body's brows and said softly, "Seal forever."
The unchanging divine art burst forth and spread throughout Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.
Celestial Venerable Ling's eyes lit up, and she praised, "This unchanging divine art is really well used!"
The Grand Emperor's primordial spirit tunneled into Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, and the unchanging divine art was activated. With a flash of light, half of his primordial spirit came out from Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.
As for the other half of his primordial spirit, it was still in the body of Celestial Emperor.
The Grand Emperor's primordial spirit was astonished and tried to enter Celestial Emperor's corporeal body again. However, this was the result. He was still affected by the unchanging divine art, and the other half of his primordial spirit was exposed.
"You taught me well," Qin Mu said humbly.
The knife in his hand didn't show any mercy and slashed at the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit!
His unchanging divine art was indeed powerful, and the divine art he executed wasn't a complete unchanging divine art. Instead, he took parts of it to prevent himself from falling into the predicament of becoming unchanging substance.
However, even fragments of unchanging divine art could trap the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit to death!
The Grand Emperor's primordial spirit became more anxious. He controlled half of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body to block Qin Mu's knife light. With a loud bang, Qin Mu's body trembled violently, and he pulled Celestial Venerable Ling back quickly to avoid the Grand Emperor's divine spear!
The surface of the celestial river exploded, and the power of the divine spear was vast and mighty, tearing apart the celestial river. Wherever the divine spear passed by, the waves on both sides were like continuous mountains that rose higher.
Qin Mu immediately raised his Tai Yi Crutch to receive the blow!
The battle power of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was too strong, and he had to use the Tai Yi Crutch to fight back. Otherwise, even if he used Calamity Sword, he wouldn't be able to block the Grand Emperor's attack!
Boom!
Qin Mu's body trembled violently, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. The sword sheath on his waist was also shattered, and the sword fell into the water.
Celestial Emperor's corporeal body stood on the God Execution Stage and shattered the two God Execution Mysterious Knives with one strike. The Grand Emperor's primordial spirit tried to control Celestial Emperor's corporeal body again.
However, no matter how many times he tried, it was still the same. Half of his primordial spirit was still outside, while the other half was inside. He was still unable to completely control Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.
Qin Mu attacked again and smiled. "Grand Emperor, when I drowned Heavenly Lady Qiang, I told you that I would give you a fair fight before you die. Now, I'm going to fulfill this promise!"
Celestial Emperor's corporeal body roared in anger, and he raised his leg to stomp heavily. The thirty-five levels of the God Execution Stage actually cracked from the impact!
The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched. He naturally knew how astonishing the power of The God Execution Stage. Even Founding Emperor who was at the 35th level of the Dao Realm couldn't do anything to this God Execution Stage.
That was because the God Execution Stage was condensed from the Great Dao of the ancestral court. It was a natural Dao object, and only after Founding Emperor achieved the Dao could he break this divine stage.
The power of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was too terrifying. Even though the Grand Emperor could only control half of his corporeal body, its power could probably kill a Celestial Venerable!
However, what was strange was that no matter if it was Celestial Venerable Xiao, Celestial Venerable Hao, or Founding Emperor, none of them moved!
Even until now, they had yet to show themselves or make a move. It was a little strange!
A cold light flashed in Qin Mu's eyes. He held Celestial Venerable Ling's hand and rushed towards the Grand Emperor. The Grand Emperor stomped his feet again, and the God Execution Stage gave off cracking sounds. It was almost broken!
The qi and blood of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body boiled as it became more vigorous, breaking through the baleful qi of the God Execution Stage.
Compared to the qi and blood in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, the qi and blood of the God Execution Stage was nothing!
This wave of qi and blood was so powerful that it not only broke through the baleful qi of the God Execution Stage, it even evaporated the celestial river, revealing the majestic mountains and rivers in the surroundings!
It was a scene of desolation in the mountains and rivers. It was as if they had experienced apocalyptic calamities one after another. Looking over, there were no signs of people in thousands of miles.
There was yellow desert everywhere, and one could occasionally see the dilapidated god city standing in the desert. Violent winds howled, and sand dunes were moving frantically in the desert.
When the sand dunes moved away, the bones buried in the desert were revealed.
This should be a heaven, and for some reason, it had become a desert. There were corpses everywhere under the desert, and it was unknown what era this battlefield was from.
Even Qin Mu didn't know what era this was.
When he solved Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine art, he should have returned to the time before Celestial Venerable Ling died. However, Celestial Venerable Ling had already experienced reincarnation after reincarnation in the unchanging divine art. Even though the substance in the celestial river hadn't changed, the substance in the outside world was changing.
'With such an imposing corporeal body, if I can chop it to nourish the God Execution Stage and the God Execution Mysterious Knife, these two divine knives will be able to slay even Daoists!'
Qin Mu paid no attention to the outside world and couldn't hide his excitement. He rushed to the God Execution Stage and used the Taiyi Crutch as a sword to face the Grand Emperor's divine spear!
The instant the divine spear collided with the cane, blood spewed out from Qin Mu's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. His corporeal body crackled as his tendons and bones broke inch by inch!
At the same time, the Calamity Sword suddenly leaped out of the celestial river and stabbed into the sole of half of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit.
This sword had thousands of transformations and attacked upwards from the toes of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit. The dense sword lights instantly went from the toes to the soles of the feet, to the ankles, to the legs, to the thighs!
Wherever the sword light passed, the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit disintegrated!
The sword light passed through the chest and abdomen of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit, going from the throat to the brain.
With a pop, the Calamity Sword rushed into the sky from the crown of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit. The Calamity Sword rose to the top of the celestial river, and all kinds of sword moves were still raining down frantically, forming a gorgeous sky of sword path!
Half of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit was completely disintegrated by Calamity Break!
At the same time, Qin Mu, who was flying backward, struck out with his palm to undo the unchanging divine art of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body. The pointer flew out and smacked the other half of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit out of his body!
Boom!
He crashed into the yellow sand that filled the sky, and dust rose up everywhere, dyeing a blood-colored path. That was the blood on Qin Mu's body.
Just as he knocked out the other half of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit, a figure rushed out and suddenly appeared behind the other half of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit. He grabbed it and opened his mouth wide to swallow the other half.
This person was Celestial Venerable Xiao!
Celestial Venerable Xiao had just swallowed half of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit when a peachwood hairpin touched the heart of his brows.
"Seal forever," Celestial Venerable Ling said softly.
Celestial Venerable Xiao's expression changed drastically.
This time, Qin Mu didn't hold Celestial Venerable Ling's hand. Celestial Venerable Ling remained on the God Execution Stage, standing beside Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, waiting for the chance to plot against him and the Grand Emperor.
Now, he had fused with half of the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit to become an unchanging substance.
