920 Divine Bridge Broken by Sword (1/2)
Superior Emperor Wen Chang chanted an ancient Dao language, then picked up his brush and wrote something in his scroll.
Superior Emperor Wen Chang's words contained power. His Dao language could transform into the divine arts of this world, and he could have anything he desired. He could summon wind, clouds, thunder, or lightning just by chanting the Dao language.
He could also create anything simply by painting with his brush. If he painted a dragon, the dragon would rise and fly. If he painted a rope, the rope would tighten and bind. If he painted Mount Meru, there would be Mount Meru crashing down!
Even though Yun Jianli had transformed into Superior Emperor Wen Chang, he was unable to counter Qin Mu. Qin Mu's spirit of fists repeatedly broke through all of Superior Emperor Wen Chang's divine arts. It seemed as easy as breaking a dead branch from a tree.
Qin Mu was peerless in close combat!
Another flag rose, wrapping around the retreating Yun Jianli. It then exploded as three-legged golden crows rose, carrying a giant sun, and charged towards Qin Mu.
Yun Jianli repeatedly transformed, from the Great Sun Sovereign to the Five Elements Star Sovereigns, and from Seven Kills Star Sovereign to heavenly spirits and earthly fiends. He went through the 360 gods at will, it was dazzling to the eyes.
At the time of Celestial Venerable Yun's death, the Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique could be considered as just taking shape. However, this technique evolved over time and was continuously improved by the Yun family.
Only now could the Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique be considered complete, displaying a level of beauty different from other techniques.
This technique finally matured after over ten thousand years. Although Celestial Venerable Yun had died, his technique was now equal to those of the other Celestial Venerables.
This was exactly where the beauty of Celestial Venerable Yun lay.
Qin Mu continued to use the divine art of Martial Dao to battle Yun Jianli, infusing the spirit of Eternal Peace's reform into his divine art. Whatever ancient god he faced, he repeatedly used his fists and palms to smash and kill, appearing incomparably valiant.
No matter how intricate Yun Jianli's divine art was or how real his transformations were, in Qin Mu's eyes, they were filled with flaws.
Qin Mu was the founder of the Computational Canon of Supreme Molecule, so Yun Jianli's runes of the ancient gods' Great Dao, which were based on Dao Ancestor's calculation of classic algebra, hadn't yet reached the level of perfection.
Suddenly, flags rose into the air, merging together in succession. The figure of Yun Jianli then flew up, merging with the flags into one body.
The sky was filled with radiance as the body of a majestic-looking ancient god materialized. It looked as though it was made from pure light. He had white brows, white eyes, and a white beard. Even his eyes were snow-white, glowing brilliantly.
Heaven Duke.
Behind Yun Jianli, 49 strange treasures filled up the sky, formed by 49 types of Heavenly Dao.
The Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique displayed by Yun Jianli had reached the level of perfection. If Qin Mu didn't have the reform of Eternal Peace, he would be unable to discover the flaws in this technique.
Qin Mu exclaimed in admiration as the third eye at the heart of his brows finally opened, a halo appearing behind his head. It was swallowing up all sorts of light, like a black hole.
His corporeal body began to transform as his third eye glowed brighter, looking as though it contained the blazing divine fire of Youdu.
Flames surged out of his forehead as it grew a pair of cow horns that had nine bends and eighteen curves. His face turned into that of a tiger as his corporeal body expanded, looking more and more imposing.
Terrifying devil qi of Youdu suddenly rose from the Jade Sea, turning the surroundings within a radius of a hundred miles into Youdu.
In front of the Slow Winding Pavilion, a tiny Earth Count burrowed out of the dragon qilin's ear. He stared at Qin Mu with wide-open eyes and cried out, ”Scared…”
Before the dragon qilin could say anything, Yan'er had spotted this little creature. She was delighted and gave it a spirit pill.
The tiny Earth Count struggled to carry the spirit pill, and he solemnly asked Yan'er, ”Scared?”
”Yes, exactly the same as you.”
Yan'er laughed. ”Fatty Dragon, you brought this little creature along?”
The dragon qilin nodded and said softly, ”I don't know when he crawled on my body, but I find him quite pitiful, so I kept him by my side, taking care of him. If this little fellow was out there on his own, he would have died of hunger by the second day.”
As they were talking, Qin Mu had turned into Earth Count and was battling the Heaven Duke that Yun Jianli had transformed into over the Jade Sea. Heaven Duke and Earth Count hadn't fought each other before, so no one knew who was stronger between these two leaders of the ancient gods. Most likely, many people would be keen to find out.
Although this wasn't a battle between the real Earth Count and Heaven Duke, rather transformations of Qin Mu and Yun Jianli, people were beyond excited.
Terrifying waves rippled in all directions, instantly striking the people standing in front of the Slow Winding Pavilion. First came the tremors and contortion of space, carrying along with it the power of their divine arts and changes in their situation!
The mountain ranges on the island were being stretched—some became ten times longer, while some had peaks that suddenly became extremely tiny.
Upon seeing this, Yan'er immediately spread her wings to shield the Slow Winding Pavilion, protecting everybody.
The second wave of impact was the waves of the Jade Sea. The towering waves almost flipped the Jade Sea on its back, its gushing water covering everything. Even the divine turtles that were flying in the sky earlier were struck until they lost their footing. They wriggled their limbs weakly in the air as they carried islands and divine mountains on their backs.
In the sea, the gigantic golden lotuses were swaying unsteadily due to the impact. They released waves and waves of golden light, shielding themselves from the attacks, hence they weren't destroyed.
The third wave of impact was a hurricane. Its wind speed exceeded the speed of sound many times over, uprooting and swallowing everything as it produced a sound that was incomparably terrifying.
This level of power was something many gods were unable to control, yet it was being executed by Qin Mu and Yun Jianli, two sickly-looking divine arts practitioners. It was truly astonishing!
Only when things became calm did Yan'er fold up her wings. Qi Jiuyi, the dragon qilin, and the rest looked over and saw Qin Mu and Yun Jianli standing on the sea surface, not proceeding with their battle.
Qi Jiuyi was truly impressed. ”Yun Jianli is worthy of being number one among the younger generation, truly a descendant of Celestial Venerable Yun. Cult Master Qin is also impressive, considering he could actually match up to him. If Cult Master Qin is able to survive, it may not be impossible to live up to the title of Celestial Venerable.”
The dragon qilin laughed. ”Third Brother, you still don't understand Cult Master. He's a humble man, always giving chances in whatever he does.”
Qi Jiuyi was slightly stunned as he broke out into laughter. ”Humble? Since when is Cult Master Qin humble? Second Brother, please don't joke around.”
”Cult Master has been humble all along, except that it's to the point where you feel like punching him.”
