Chapter 2270 - 2267: Beyond This Realm
"That power has appeared again. We absolutely cannot let him obstruct the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth!"
Within the Primordial Hall of Hong State, the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall hung high in the Void, unleashing boundless divine might.
At Qilin Cliff on the back mountain of Kunlun Ruins.
The old Sect Leader of Kunlun Ruins, the elder Daoist Yuxu, set his fishing rod aside, circulated his Cultivation Technique, and slowly lifted one hand in the air.
This old Sect Leader, who had lived for over a million years, suddenly had his turbid old eyes turn razor sharp.
Boom!
A vast, majestic power surged skyward from the hand of Elder Daoist Yuxu.
In Desolate State’s Primordial Hall, Hall Master Jiang Qingming stood above the Primordial Hall, squinting as he observed that scene, and likewise struck out with one palm.
On Floating Mountain in Daozhou, Ji Ziqing, who was now the Saint Master of Floating Mountain, also ascended to the heavens.
But she understood that her strength was far inferior to those great beings. This time, she borrowed the power of Floating Mountain and struck out with a palm.
It was as if a certain force on Floating Mountain was drawn forth; accompanying that palm, it too roared out with ferocity.
The Family Heads of the four great families of Fu Lei Heaven in Heavenly State also acted simultaneously.
The Qingming Saint Master of Qingming Palace in Qing State.
The Saint Master of Dou Su Palace in Dingzhou.
The Xuan Sect of Xuanzhou...
The Xuan Sect had yet to have anyone make a move.
On Hundred Coffin Cliff, a curse rang out: "What the hell is this Yan Jingyun doing? Does he still want to be this Xuan Sect Sect Leader or not!?"
At this moment.
A Disciple of the Xuan Sect ran over in trepidation and said, "Greetings, venerable Patriarchs. The Sect Leader has entered a death-seclusion and is temporarily unable to emerge."
"Good brat, he actually dares to go into a death-seclusion at such a juncture. Just wait till he comes out and see how I deal with him!"
On Hundred Coffin Cliff, an angry roar rang out.
Amidst the waves of furious curses, that Xuan Sect Disciple’s face turned pale.
These Patriarchs all had notoriously violent tempers.
Just then, the sound of a coffin opening came from Hundred Coffin Cliff.
Immediately after, a handsome youth, bare-chested with jade pendants at his ears, slowly stood up. He stretched lazily, yawned, and said, "Forget it, I’ll take this one."
He flicked his right hand, then thrust his palm toward the Sky Dome.
Boom!
A terrifying pillar of light burst skyward in an instant, piercing into that Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth.
In that moment, the speed of the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth grew even faster!
In the Xuanhuang Great World, among the Guardian Gods of Nine Provinces, only those at Earth Lungs Mountain in Earth State had yet to act.
And at this very moment.
The Sect Leader True Person of Earth Lungs Mountain, True Person Chixing, was within Pengxuan Cave Heaven.
He sensed the other powerhouses making their moves and did not remain idle; with a flick of the horsetail whisk in his hand, he spread his large palm, and an Eight Diagrams Mirror appeared in his grasp.
The Eight Diagrams Mirror began to spin, and an even more formidable power diffused at that instant, surging violently toward the Sky Dome.
Nine utterly different currents of power converged in that moment, all pouring into the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth.
In that instant, the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth, which had been expanding with great difficulty, once more began to advance at a rapid pace.
Time was being fought over by the heartbeat; if the Luotian Grand Jiao could not be fully arranged within seven seven forty-nine days, then this Luotian Grand Jiao would be ruined, and everything would have been in vain.
This matter concerned the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and also the fortune of the Daoist path. The Ten Grotto Heavens, Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens, Seventy-two Blessed Lands of the Daoist path, as well as Daoist inheritances scattered throughout the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, would all exert themselves to aid.
One night’s time to shroud the Xuanhuang Great World seemed quick.
But in truth, it was not.
After all, the Luotian Grand Jiao needed to have the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth shroud the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
Including the Heavenly Domain and the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.
If it were not accelerated, it would surely be impossible to complete.
And the first thing to be shrouded was the Ten Realms!
With the tacit cooperation of the Wuji Great World and the Xuanhuang Great World, that black qi ultimately could not withstand it and slowly disintegrated in the Outer Void.
......
This was a stretch of distant Void.
The long-vanished Empress Changxi and Emperor Mu of the Heavenly Domain now both appeared here.
And before them stood a nine-colored human shadow.
"The Daoist path’s Luotian Grand Jiao has begun its layout..."
The nine-colored human shadow was muttering; its voice seemed to come from some faraway world, incomparably faint.
"What are we supposed to do?" Emperor Mu asked softly.
The nine-colored human shadow ignored Emperor Mu, instead glancing at Empress Changxi, who stood there woodenly, and said coolly, "Wait for a certain opportunity. He needs to die once more."
At these words, Emperor Mu’s brows knit slightly. "Back then was already a perfect chance to kill him. Why wouldn’t you let her and me strike?"
The nine-colored human shadow said nothing, yet seemed to be sneering at Emperor Mu.
A moment later, the nine-colored human shadow slowly said, "By comparison, you don’t really understand that Master of yours. Your senior martial sister understands him better."
As it spoke, the nine-colored human shadow once more turned its gaze to Changxi.
Changxi was not wearing the Emperor’s Robe, but an ordinary white garment. Upon her makeup-free, delicate face was a peerlessly beautiful countenance that could topple nations.
Only at this moment, that exquisitely beautiful face of Empress Changxi was expressionless. She said coolly, "Under his banner, the Revenge Lineage possesses the power to overturn the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds in an instant. Don’t even mention that you and I do not wield Tian Ming; even if we did wield Tian Ming, there would be no guarantee we would not die."
At these words, Emperor Mu was inexplicably chilled. He raised a brow and said, "Then why, back then, did the Revenge Lineage, aside from Nangong Bai of the Black Blade Sect, have no one make a move?"
Empress Changxi did not answer him; the nine-colored human shadow spoke: "Because they all know that that person cannot die, will never die."
Emperor Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak.
The nine-colored human shadow said blandly, "There is only a single opportunity to kill him, and that is when the Luotian Grand Jiao completely shrouds the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the Heavenly Dao Suppression is fully unsealed, and that person is charging at the Great Emperor realm."
Emperor Mu looked at the nine-colored human shadow and said calmly, "Did you not say that many are watching him? Why don’t we simply sit atop the mountain and watch the tigers fight, let them clash like sandpiper and clam, and in the end, you, the fisherman, reap the profit."
The nine-colored human shadow smiled faintly. "There truly are many watching him, but the only ones who can actually strike and kill him are the two of you."
"Why?"
In the end, Emperor Mu voiced this question that had weighed on him for over ninety thousand years.
The nine-colored human shadow said with a laugh, "Because you are his Disciple, and Changxi is his wife."
Emperor Mu’s brows furrowed deeply. "That was in the past."
The nine-colored human shadow said, "It is a good habit not to understand and then ask, but there are some things you will never figure out. So just do what you’re supposed to do."
"Just don’t forget your own goal."
With that said.
The nine-colored human shadow directly vanished.
This stretch of Void also suddenly collapsed at that instant.
Around Emperor Mu and Empress Changxi, endless Dao Laws flowed, shielding the two of them.
They looked toward the distant end of the darkness.
There lay an ellipsoid world.
The upper reaches were shrouded in Bright light, the middle was a swath of Xuanhuang, and the lower reaches were endless Dark.
There.
Was precisely where the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds lay.
And Emperor Mu and Empress Changxi, at this moment, were entirely outside the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
The Dao Laws swirling about them were also fundamentally different from the Dao Laws of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
"Senior Sister, have you figured it out?"
Emperor Mu looked at Empress Changxi and asked in a low voice.
A trace of confusion flickered in Empress Changxi’s eyes as she sighed, "If I had figured it out, I wouldn’t still be here."
