955 An Old Friend in His Eyes (1/2)
”Grand Emperor?”
Qin Mu's heart trembled as he looked forward and saw giant masters of creation in white robes appear in a vast piece of space, one after another.
A giant lotus-shaped land laid there. It was extremely vast and was separated from Qin Mu and the others by an abyss of unknown depth. Within the abyss was a void that made one unable to see its bottom.
A lot of masters of creation floated in the void. Beneath them, giant lotuses blossomed out to radiate light on the white robes that looked impeccably pure.
Some of them, due to their consciousness' visualization, had golden wings that made them look like bird-headed humanoids with sharp bird claws for feet.
Some were stepping on two dragons that had fire flowing out of them.
Some had a long river around their bodies, like snakes but with more changes.
Some had a chain drilling out of the heart of their brows, spiraling in the air.
Some had a galaxy flooding out of the heart of their brows, with stars flowing forth.
Yet, everything was still. All of the masters of creation were frozen in the position they last had while alive.
They were in an offensive position with a Grand Primordium Divine Stone in the heart of their brows as they visualized their strongest attack. Their target was an incomparably large and terrifying master of creation, the Grand Emperor that Shu Jun was talking about!
If these masters of creation were as large as stars, then the Grand Emperor was like the brightest sun who had thousands of stars orbiting him.
The Grand Emperor was in stasis too.
He stood on the lotus-shaped land, both of his legs creating a thick root that fixed him to that landmass. The roots on both of his legs were like his tendons that broke out of his legs, connecting him to the ground.
The crevasses on his robes were like the mountain ranges on that lotus-shaped landmass, while the blood that flowed out of the wounds on his legs formed long rivers that were crimson red.
Obviously, Grand Emperor Ju Yushi didn't fuse together with the lotus landmass willingly. Instead, he was trapped by the divine arts of these masters of creation, which fused him with it, preventing him from escaping.
Unless, of course, he could bring the vast lotus landmass with him when he flew.
This was a trap aimed against Grand Emperor Ju Yushi!
'It was the divine arts of the masters of creation and the Grand Emperor that created the peculiarities of this land!'
Qin Mu's heart jumped. The Great Void's masters of creation must have tricked Grand Emperor Ju Yushi here to trap him before fighting to the very end with him!
However, he had some doubts. After all, according to Shu Jun, Grand Emperor Ju Yushi was unbelievably strong. He was the first strong practitioner of the primordial era. Although there were many large masters of creation here, it was unlikely that they had what it took to deal with Grand Emperor Ju Yushi.
He immediately noticed that in the heart of the Grand Emperor's brows, there was no Grand Primordium Origin Stone that signified his authority and status!
It was empty, without a third eye. It only had a hexagon-shaped wound on it!
Qin Mu immediately thought about the Grand Primordium Origin Stone in his third eye and shuddered. That Grand Primordium Origin Stone was a fragment of the original Origin Stone in the heart of his brows. Obviously, in the battle of the Blood Rust Zone, someone broke the Grand Primordium Origin Stone.
Shu Jun was there too, and he had used his consciousness to hide in one of the fragments, which was later found by Wei Suifeng. Wei Suifeng didn't discover the hiding Shu Jun and had given the stone to Qin Mu.
'The Grand Emperor's power must have been lacking without the Grand Primordium Origin Stone, which caused him to be stuck. However, this doesn't really hold up since, without it, he was still extremely powerful. Shu Jun said that he had the strongest corporeal body in all of history. Just by using this corporeal body, he could defeat the masters of creation.'
Qin Mu thought, 'In that sense, someone must have helped these masters of creation against Grand Emperor Ju Yushi! Who was it then? What was their purpose?'
He was perplexed as he thought, 'Shu Jun must know the secrets of the primordial era and the battle of the Blood Rust Zone. He knows why the Grand Primordium Origin Stone broke, but he seems unwilling to bring it up.'
Shu Jun was in a daze. The Grand Emperor died here with these masters of creation. It looked like the Great Void's masters of creation surrounded him and exhausted him to death.
It was due to how unimaginably weird the divine arts of these masters of creation were that so many peculiarities occurred when Qin Mu and the others arrived here.
However, the unsolved mystery as to why Grand Emperor Ju Yushi fought the masters of creation here perplexed them.
”Here it is.”
The small light spot that Yue Tingge morphed into laughed. ”I lured Celestial Venerable Xu and Celestial Venerable Huo here and killed them… Hehe…”
”How could Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu have died here?”
Qin Mu suddenly couldn't help but laugh as he sized up the surrounding area. However, his heart suddenly shuddered. He really saw Celestial Venerable Huo!
Celestial Venerable Huo was at that peculiar battlefield in front, not far from the heart of Grand Emperor Ju Yushi's brows. He couldn't have mistaken him for someone else.
He and Celestial Venerable Huo were old friends. He always wore a shirt filled with flame markings on it. Most importantly, he had an extremely obvious ring of fire behind his head!
At that moment, Celestial Venerable Huo was like Grand Emperor Ju Yushi, stuck in that peculiar space, unable to move. It was as if he was dead.
After all, he was an extremely strong Celestial Venerable and hadn't been shaped into a light spot, so his body kept its walking posture.
'Would a Celestial Venerable in the Celestial Heavens Realm be killed by this place?'
