887 The Writings of Primordial Realm Grandmaster (1/2)
Mother Earth didn't give them time to reminisce. She manipulated the Primordial Tree, turning its roots into a giant hammer to strike the chest of the astonished Celestial Venerable Yu.
Celestial Venerable Yu spun wildly and crashed into the barrier of the Primordial Realm. Like a stone skipping on water, his body bounced off the barrier and fell to the ground.
The powerful impact of Celestial Venerable Yu created holes in the Primordial Realm barrier.
These holes represented the wounds of the Primordial Realm and would take time to heal.
Mother Earth screamed, two fingers pointing upright. Multiple roots emerged from the ball of roots of the Primordial Tree and burrowed into Celestial Venerable Yu's wounds.
As she only had one chance, she definitely wouldn't pass up this opportunity. Now that Celestial Venerable Yu was heavily wounded, it was the best time to finish him off.
If she failed, she would die!
”Boundless Magnetism!”
The roots of the Primordial Tree pierced through Celestial Venerable Yu's sword wounds, exiting from his back. Magnetism merged with the roots, radiating and glowing.
The roots picked Celestial Venerable Yu up, and entangled themselves in the air. They then retracted back into the ball of roots, forming a huge ”∞” sign.
Qin Mu looked at the roots. The runes of magnetism on the roots formed countless light halos as they circled the roots. The roots then retracted back into the ball, together with the runes of magnetism.
The powerful force of magnetism took away Celestial Venerable Yu's essence, weakening him. The terrifying divine energies of magnetism crushed the runes of Great Dao in Celestial Venerable Yu's body, causing immeasurable damage to his body and primordial spirit.
The previous Celestial Venerable Yus were test subjects used by the sovereigns of the celestial heavens and were only cultivated up to the Divine Bridge Realm. This Celestial Venerable Yu was different, the primordial spirit of Celestial Venerable Hao was in him.
Mother Earth's divine art and Primordial Tree were too powerful, causing tremendous damage to his Primordial Spirit.
The divine light of magnetism pulled down pieces of heavens, using them to crush Celestial Venerable Yu's body. Given the pressure, had he been in the Emperor's Throne Realm, he would have been killed!
”Celestial Venerable Mu, Mother Earth, you underestimated the power of the Celestial Heavens Realm!”
Majestic celestial heavens, celestial palaces, and throne halls appeared behind Celestial Venerable Yu, shining brilliantly. With a burst of power, the Primordial Tree roots and runes of the Great Dao stopped moving. The ”∞” created by the roots loosened into a big circle.
The heavens that were crushing him was flung off.
Following which, the runes of magnetism rotated, returning him the essence that was taken away by Mother Earth earlier!
Mother Earth let out a long scream as multiple roots emerged from the Primordial Tree ball of roots. The thick, gigantic roots pierced through the celestial heavens—toppling celestial palaces, destroying throne halls.
The trunk and the crown were only one-tenth of the Primordial Tree. The strongest part of Mother Earth was her roots.
She flew towards Celestial Venerable Yu, the Primordial Tree close behind.
At the top of the tree, Qin Mu leaped out of the phoenix nest, his body covered by many rotating runes. He transformed into a faint stream of light and flew towards the closing wounds of the Primordial Realm barrier.
”Celestial Venerable Mu, I have waited for you for a million years!”
Celestial Venerable Yu said, neither laughing or crying, ”A million years ago, you had the late mover advantage and used a million years of divine arts against me. That was why I lost to you! A million years later, I have the first mover advantage. I have a million years of wisdom and had a million years to rebuild the perfect celestial heavens!”
Qin Mu glanced back and saw that the two frightening divine beings were still fighting. Behind Celestial Venerable Yu, within the majestic celestial heavens, a faceless man stood in one of the throne halls. He looked like the master of the celestial palace, a heavenly emperor.
'Celestial Venerable Hao has been in the Celestial Heavens Realm for a long time, he must have incredible powers.'
Qin Mu picked up speed, thinking, 'He has been injured greatly. If he decides to fight to the death, he could possibly kill Mother Earth. However, he is one who cherishes his life. This had been the same for a hundred years and I don't see that changing. To protect his status in the celestial heavens, he won't allow himself to suffer too much damage. Hence, he will abandon the fight and return back to the celestial heavens. Before he is fully recovered, he won't make any major moves.”
As the Primordial Realm barrier healed, Qin Mu disappeared within the Primordial Realm.
The two monstrosities were still fighting in the sky. Their divine arts tore the sky apart, showing the mortal world their frightening figures and leaving them in awe of their strength.
Mother Earth's injuries were getting more and more serious, gradually weakening her.
”Celestial Venerable Mu, what should I do next?” Her thoughts pulsed, only for her to realize that Qin Mu wasn't on the tree crown anymore.
Mother Earth panicked. Qin Mu's guidance helped her avoid a beating. Now, she was falling behind while Qin Mu had disappeared, leaving her fearful in the face of death.
However, Celestial Venerable Hao was more fearful than her.
Mother Earth had already lost everything. He had not.
He enjoyed a high position within the celestial heavens. If he were to suffer any major damage, other sovereigns would be more than happy to take his place!
If he were to fight on, he would face this difficult situation.
However, if he didn't finish off Mother Earth, it would be a blow to his prestige.
Today, no sovereign descend to the mortal world to help him, not even his follower, Celestial Venerable Huo. The sovereigns have been close friends with him all along but they are, in fact, waiting for an opening. This spooked Celestial Venerable Hao.
At this moment, a face appeared across the sky. It was the other Celestial Venerable Yu.
Celestial Venerable Hao's initial happiness turned into surprise. This Celestial Venerable Yu didn't offer to help but remained as a smiling on-looker.
”Does Your Majesty need help?” Celestial Venerable Yu laughed.
Upon hearing his voice, Celestial Venerable Hao realized who he was.
The Primordial Realm.
Qin Mu landed and saw a scene of devastation.
The fleet of ships controlled by the army of the celestial heavens began to eradicate the forces in the Primordial Realm, flattening the nations built by the half-gods, plundering and killing.
The Primordial Realm was in chaos. Demons and monsters ran amok. The atmosphere was foul as gods and devils battled each other among the clouds. From time to time, heads as big as mountains fell from the sky.
Whoosh—
An enormous demon flew over his head, trying to flee, but a hundred celestial soldiers pursued and kill him.
Qin Mu did not have to walk far to see the rivers of blood. Its corpse fell in front of him, like a giant mountain blocking his path.
A team of gods of the celestial heavens caught up. ”Take the corpse, we have use for it!”
Qin Mu hid in the darkness and watched them take the corpse away, emerging only after they had left.
As he walked through his chaotic surroundings, he saw gods pulling up mountains and crushing half-god nations with them. Imperial cities and countless half-god races were flattened into dust.
The half-gods of the dragon race were skinned by gods of the celestial heavens and placed on mountains to be burned alive by celestial fire.
He wandered around this endless battlefield, experiencing burning and looting all round. The divine kingdom of the phoenix race had been invaded by the army of the celestial heavens. Many beautiful people of the phoenix race had been taken as slaves to be raped.
He saw a god being hanged in front of a heaven's mountain gate. That particular heaven of the Primordial Realm had been utterly defeated. Countless half-god slaves had been pierced. They had difficulty moving forward under the orders of the gods.
There were flames of battle everywhere in the Primordial Realm. The army of the celestial heavens used the corpses of gods and devils to build a towering sacrificial altar and prepared to launch a blood sacrifice.
The sky was filled with gleaming blood. There was a constant flow of large ships carrying the army of gods and devils coming through the blood sacrifice into the Primordial Realm, directing their attack on even larger forces.
The sky was filled with ever-increasing ships and gods.
