944 The Heart Devil Celestial Emperor (1/2)
If Qin Mu was on the ship, he would definitely have been so alarmed to hear this line that he would jump up in fright.
He had guessed that Yun Chuxiu was Celestial Empress all along, and there were also various signs to indicate his guess was right and that Celestial Empress was the instigator who had schemed to kill her own sister, Mistress Yuanmu, and then possessed her corporeal body before returning to the celestial heavens.
Celestial Empress had then transformed into Jue Wuchen to seduce Celestial Emperor into reincarnating before she assassinated him. After Celestial Venerable Ling killed her, she took the opportunity to reincarnate as well, infiltrating the Heaven Alliance and becoming one of the Celestial Venerables.
He also guessed that Lian Huahun was the reincarnation of Mistress Yuanmu, even going as far as suspecting that Mistress Yuanmu didn't die completely and had also infiltrated the Heaven Alliance, becoming one of the ten Celestial Venerables as well.
The reason he made such conjectures and was deeply convinced by it was that Yun Chuxiu knew of the fact that he had previously tried to summon the soul of Celestial Empress on the ghost ship.
However, Lian Huahun saying, ”refer to me as Elder Sister”, had completely flipped his conjecture upside down!
It was a pity that Qin Mu wasn't on the ship. What was even more of a pity was that Luo Wushuang wasn't aware of the origins of these two ladies, and he was also utterly uninterested in their sibling feud and thus merely looked up above the galaxy.
On the galaxy, Qin Mu and the others were moving as fast as flowing light as the gods pursued him from behind to kill him.
'If Overlord Body Qin leaves the area protected by the walking corpses, it will trigger the devil within his heart. Why is he being so reckless and so intent on angering these strong practitioners on the ship?'
Luo Wushuang followed the direction of the galaxy and looked ahead. Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his heart. He saw that in the darkness of the void, there was a boundless land at the edge of the galaxy.
'The Land of the Great Void… So that's it, he saw the Land of the Great Void!'
Two rays of knife lights shot out of Luo Wushuang's eyes and criss crossed through the air with clanging noises that alarmed the people on the ship. He yelled out, ”Immediately redirect the ship and head towards the Land of the Great Void!”
The remaining twenty to thirty people on the ship hurriedly steered the ship and increased its speed. Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun also looked away from each other to help move the ship.
The Land of the Great Void was a piece of floating land within the Great Void that the Emperor of Endless Clouds, Wei Suifeng, had discovered. There, there were no strange and unpredictable heart devils. This time around, Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu had led their many disciples to travel about the Great Void with the intention of uncovering the secret of the Land of the Great Void and to search for the traces of Carefree Village and Founding Emperor.
The ship immediately picked up speed and chased after Qin Mu and the others. Luo Wushuang even personally activated his vital qi to increase the speed of the ship to its maximum. Very soon, the ship had caught up with the group that was pursuing Qin Mu. Luo Wushuang yelled out, ”We have reached the Land of the Great Void, return to the ship!”
Countless rays of light spun about and fell from the top of the galaxy, landing one by one on the ship.
Everyone was filled with a murderous aura as they looked towards Qin Mu, who was ahead running atop the celestial river. They each prepared their divine arts and activated their divine weapons, waiting for the moment when they caught up with Qin Mu to kill him from across the celestial river.
At this very moment, Luo Wushuang suddenly felt cold sweat forming on his forehead as he said in a hoarse voice, ”There are no more walking corpses ahead… stop the ship! Stop the ship quickly!”
At the same time, Qin Mu had leaped up from the shoulder of the last Walking Corpse. During the split second that he leaped into the air, countless teleportation runes surrounding his body lit up and revolved around him noisily as they enveloped him and vanished with him!
”Celestial Venerable Mu is really slippery!” Yun Chuxiu clasped her palms together and praised.
The ship was gradually slowing down, yet due to its momentum, it still flew past the body of the last walking corpse, continuing to dash forwards for another hundred miles. Everyone on the ship couldn't help but grow fearful, and their various heart devils emerged one by one.
Luo Wushuang shook his head and cried out, ”Don't stop, activate the ship with all your might, and rush into the Land of the Great Void before your heart devils materialize!”
Just as he finished his sentence, he heard a tapping noise. Luo Wushuang felt cold sweat on his forehead, and he turned around to look. Behind the ship, a Qin Mu standing atop a chest appeared and looked towards him with an awe-inspiring gaze.
The chest started to run at top speed, pursuing the ship.
At the same time, the space outside the ship started to shake, and a massive eyeball squeezed its way out of the void with a cruel and vicious gaze. It wasn't known whose heart devil this eyeball was.
The massive eyeball suddenly split into top and bottom, and the eyeball was actually filled with razor-sharp teeth. It opened its big mouth and came biting towards the ship!
At that instant, all sorts of monsters started to emerge from the void!
There were vicious dragons longer than the ship, monsters with tentacles that hid beneath the ship, massive spiders with innumerous eyes on their backs, a headless bride, and even ancient gods that were engulfed in fiery flames!
In addition, there weren't only monsters, even the figure of the ancient Celestial Emperor had emerged from the void.
There were also Celestial Venerables. It wasn't known which of these disciples had their own masters as the devils within their hearts!
'We've fallen into his trap.'
Luo Wushuang let out a sigh in his heart. He pulled out his knife and cleaved it down towards that massive eyeball as he thought to himself, 'The reason Overlord Body Qin started to run off before he reached the Land of the Great Void was to make us chase after him. Then, he would make use of the teleportation divine art to teleport to the Land of the Great Void a step ahead of us. As for us, when we left the area protected by the aura of the walking corpses in pursuit of him, we would be killed by the devils within our hearts. This brat, he's truly ruthless!'
A god official on the ship cried out shrilly, ”There's no need to utilize Neither Thought nor No Thought anymore! Concentrate all magic power and dash towards the Land of the Great Void!”
He had only just finished his sentence when a flying dragon with wings pounced down and grabbed him, dragging him into the void.
A scream could be heard from the void. Countless monsters surged out of the void and pounced onto that god official, and very soon, he was dead.
Luo Wushuang killed the massive eyeball monster and immediately continued to activate the ship with all his might. Everyone on the ship gave their all to increase the speed of the ship to its maximum.
There were flickering shadows about the ship. Even though this ship was a top-notch divine weapon, it had already started to break apart noisily from the stress of traveling at such a high speed. Deck boards were bursting apart one by one, and rivets were loosening and flying off the ship at great speeds.
The hull of the ship was shaking from side to side, and it threatened to fall apart at any moment!
Luo Wushuang snuck a glance and saw that the imposing Celestial Emperor in the void was turning his head around slowly to look towards the ship.
He felt a chill in his heart.
The body of this Celestial Emperor was really too massive.
Although the speed of the ship was extremely fast, in front of this colossal thing, it seemed so insignificant. The ship was like a teeny tiny bug that was flying by the ancient Celestial Emperor slowly, brushing past his nostrils.
Fortunately, even with the Great Void forming the heart devil Celestial Emperor, it would take some time before he materialized completely. This would give them the chance to escape to the Land of the Great Void.
However, although the ancient Celestial Emperor was forming fairly slowly, the formation of the other heart devils was shockingly fast. The devils within the hearts of the people on board the ship grew steadily, and there were endless monsters that emerged by the speeding ship, which pounced towards it.
Thump!
A monster with six limbs and two wings, which resembled a fusion of a wolf and a tiger, leaped onto the deck. Opening its wide mouth, it swallowed a god whole.
Luo Wushuang pounced forward with knife rays shining and killed the monster. However, beneath the ship, there were countless tentacles flying about that were clinging on to the ship and slowing its speed.
Luo Wushuang shook his knife, and the blade rays split into two, then into four, and finally into eight. In a short period, his blade rays flowed downwards from midair, resembling a waterfall, and they moved along the deck and the side of the ship.
