946 You Aren’t Bad (2/2)
An Qingyu stared at him blankly, and suddenly, a loud sound came from inside his body as the celestial palace on the back of his head collapsed.
”As expected of a Celestial Venerable…”
His corporeal body burst open as his primordial spirit dissipated and soul dispersed. He died on the spot.
Qin Mu spat out a ragged breath and complimented, ”This An Qingyu wasn't bad. He was powerful and elegant.”
His face suddenly became wax yellow as his breath became haggard. Although An Qingyu failed to kill him, Celestial Venerable Hao's divine art was indeed made to exploit his weak points, which caused his primordial spirit to be injured severely. Although An Qingyu's last strike failed to destroy his corporeal body, it caused his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure to be cleansed.
The only reason he didn't show his weakness before An Qingyu's death was that he wanted to maintain his own pride and dignity.
Luo Wushuang looked around him and saw flying swords flying towards Qin Mu, clashing in front of him to form a sword pellet. The fact that he was able to refine his forging technique to be as smooth as flowing water was extraordinary.
”Divine Knife Luo, you are called the best divine knife of the celestial heavens. You showed me your knife skills before.”
Qin Mu put away his sword pellet and retrieved some spirit medicine to treat his injuries and plainly said, ”When I was still a worthy opponent of Zhe Huali, I planned to ask him to let me show you my sword skills. However, he was too proud and wanted to defeat me, so I couldn't show them to you. Now that you've seen my sword skills, how are they?”
”Very intricate and almost perfectly marvelous.”
Luo Wushuang praised him from the bottom of his heart. ”Your sword skills are already unrivaled, but I'm confident that my knife skills will beat your sword skills. If it was in the past, I might have lost to your sword again, but now, I have destroyed the devil in my heart and no longer fear it.”
Qin Mu consumed the spirit pills and laughed. ”You speak in almost exactly the same way as Zhe Huali. However, he destroyed the devil in his heart earlier than you, and yet he still wasn't a worthy opponent of mine.”
Luo Wushuang grunted, and Qin Mu forged some spirit pills for him as he said, ”You can excrete the silver needles from your body. For now, don't remove the core of the Primordial Tree in the heart of your brows. These spirit pills are meant for you to treat the damage to your celestial palace. Refine the power of the medicine in your body first, then take these spirit pills on the road. Just now, my battle with An Qingyu must have attracted the attention of other experts of the celestial heavens. We need to hurry.”
He pointed towards the east and said, ”I just saw some magnificent buildings in the air, likely built by the Great Void's masters of creation. Let's check it out.”
Luo Wushuang took the spirit pills and couldn't help but ask, ”You're really in the Spirit Embryo Realm?”
”That's right.”
Qin Mu smiled and said, ”Are you sure you want to fight me in the same realm?”
Luo Wushuang's expression was uncertain as he changed the topic and asked, ”You just said the buildings here were built by the Great Void's masters of creation. Have you been here before?”
”No.”
The third eye in the heart of his brows opened as he visualized for a bit. He saw a divine dragon that was at least 100 feet long appear out of thin air.
Luo Wushuang was shocked and thought that it was the devil in his heart, so he immediately clutched his knife handle.
Qin Mu shook his head. ”There won't be heart devils here. The heart devils are actually created by the collapsing consciousnesses of the Great Void's masters of creation in accordance with the devils in our hearts. This divine dragon is my creation and isn't dangerous.”
Luo Wushuang hesitated and asked, ”How do you know the master of this land was a master of creation of the Great Void? Are you one of them?”
Qin Mu sized up the divine dragon, jumped onto its back, and laughed. ”No. Fly!”
The divine dragon beneath him waved around, trying to fly, but it couldn't. It cried out, ”Ma ha ma ha.”
Qin Mu scratched his head. ”Am I too heavy?”
He leaped off of the dragon's back and tested it, saying, ”Fly!”
The dragon leapt into the air and fell straight down onto the ground and into the waterfall beneath.
Qin Mu was stunned as Shu Jun's laughter came through into his head. ”You want to create with your current power? You're far from that. Your consciousness attainment right now is only that of a low-class master of creation, similar to that of a newborn baby from our race.”
Qin Mu's face went black, and he walked down the mountain with Luo Wushuang.
Luo Wushuang still had the core of the Primordial Tree in the heart of his brows, which made movement inconvenient. However, he was still a great expert of the Numinous Sky Realm and retained his foundation. Thus, he utilized the vital qi in his divine treasures and moved as fast as Qin Mu.
”Those young experts from the celestial heavens will surely notice that palace and head there too. You are walking into a trap,” Luo Wushuang reminded him after noting his direction.
Qin Mu shook his head and said, ”By the time we arrive there, I will have mostly recovered.”
Luo Wushuang reminded him, ”A lot of people want to kill you, and few people survived on the boat. Those who survived the dangerous conditions of the Great Void are powerful people, with most of them being true gods! Their power will be stronger than that of An Qingyu.”
Qin Mu smiled. ”Divine Knife Luo hated me to the core and wanted to kill me so badly. Why do you now worry about my safety?”
Luo Wushuang gave a humph and plainly said, ”I just don't want you to die at the hands of others. You haven't lost to my knife yet. Don't be too cocky, Overlord Body Qin. The celestial heavens is filled with strong practitioners and young talents, and some of them might be beings who have cultivated a Great Celestial Heavens technique!”
Qin Mu's heart turned cold as he unconsciously thought about Lian Huahun.
On the boat, Lian Huahun told him that she had cultivated and merged 18 Emperor's Throne techniques, while Yun Chuxiu told him that she had understood a Great Celestial Heavens technique.
In addition, Lian Huahun was indeed very powerful. Although he was treating Luo Wushuang's injuries, one of her strikes was able to pulverize all four of his arms, which showed her remarkable capabilities!
A lady at the Divine Bridge Realm that hadn't experienced Eternal Peace's reform or opened the Celestial River Divine Treasure was able to use the Great Celestial Heavens technique to sever Qin Mu's four arms. Lian Huahun's Great Celestial Heavens technique was truly something to be feared.
'I certainly can't beat a true god who has cultivated a Great Celestial Heavens technique. But, if I comprehend one of my own…'
Qin Mu shook his head. Emperor's Throne techniques were concentrated in the hands of the celestial heavens' ten Celestial Venerables. Why would they impart the techniques that they had collected painstakingly to him?
More importantly, his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure lacked a celestial palace. The greatest use of a Great Celestial Heavens technique came from the sheer number of celestial palaces. With tenacious magic power, the skills one was apt at would increase.
'What can one do without a celestial palace?' He couldn't help but ponder in a distressed manner.
After not too long, the pool beneath the waterfall suddenly burst open, and the divine dragon that Qin Mu had visualized shook its head, climbed out of the pool, and smelled the environment for Qin Mu's scent.
”Ma ha!”
The divine dragon was happy and hopped around, walking for a bit before going prone to smell the ground, tracking Qin Mu via his scent.
