This ancient giant sat in space. Even though he had no head, even though he was missing an arm, even though he was covered in wounds, he was still alive and incomparably powerful!
As long as the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven that was ensconced in the Ultimate Void was still around, he would never die!
His voice was filled with coldness and mockery. âCelestial Venerable Mu, donât forget what you promised me. I have already done what you promised to do. You should return the Tai Chu Origin Stone to me!â
âReturn! Iâll let you live!â
âNot returning! Iâll let you have your funeral today!â
Qin Mu felt a little guilty. Even though he had thought of all kinds of scenarios when the Grand Emperor wanted the Tai Chu Origin Stone and even thought of all kinds of countermeasures, he still felt a little weak when facing this invincible overlord of the primordial era.
âGrand Emperor, our agreement is to stop Celestial Venerable Hao and prevent him from descending into the Great Void! Have you done it?â
Qin Mu raised his head and looked at the headless body of the Grand Emperor. He said loudly, âYou didnât do it! Celestial Venerable Hao is still staying in the Great Void, safe and sound. Heâs very happy there! Since you didnât complete the agreement, how dare you ask for the Tai Chu Origin Stone?â
The Grand Emperor said coldly, âIâve injured Hao Tian, and his injuries wonât heal for more than a hundred thousand years. Heâs a cripple now, and itâs useless for him to stay in the Great Void. No matter what the outcome is, you have achieved your goal. Hand over the Tai Chu Origin Stone.â
Qin Mu sneered. âHe was saved by another egg-born ancient god, Tai Su, and he has already recovered nine celestial palaces. You dare to say heâs a cripple? You didnât fulfill your promise...â
âYou can go to your funeral now.â
The Grand Emperor said indifferently, âThe appearance of Tai Su is an accident. I have already done what I promised you, but you are going back on your word. I will send you to the grave to retrieve the Origin Stone from your corpse. It will be ten thousand times easier than fighting Celestial Venerable Hao!â
Qin Mu took out Celestial Venerable Lingâs hairpin with a whoosh and laughed. âGrand Emperor, donât forget that Celestial Venerable Lingâs unchanging divine art countered your abilities! You want to die with me?â
âMutual destruction? Hahaha, Celestial Venerable Mu, you think too highly of yourself and Celestial Venerable Ling.â
A voice came from the Grand Emperorâs chest, and he said leisurely, âIn your incomparably narrow vision, you probably think that Celestial Venerable Lingâs divine art is able to restrain me. Once you learn Celestial Venerable Lingâs divine art, you can bargain with me. You probably think that you can rely on a mere ancient god egg to back you up and make you talk cheerfully with me. Youâre wrong.â
The unparalleled giant stood up and held Qin Mu in his palm. He carried the corporeal body of the egg of Tai Shi and Celestial Empressâ sister as well as the funeral procession, walking through the endless space.
âYou are gravely mistaken.â
âNot only are you wrong, Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Ling are also wrong.â
His footsteps were huge, and when he walked, he was countless times faster than the circulation of the stars. The space under his feet crumbled continuously. âWhere have heroes been since ancient times? They are all illusions. Celestial Venerable Yun is dead, Celestial Venerable Ling is trapped by her own divine art, and Celestial Emperor Tai Chu was also taken away by me. His reincarnation only dares to be a coward?â
âDo you think Celestial Venerable Yun killed me? Did Celestial Venerable Ling kill me?â
âItâs a pity that theyâre all dead. Only Iâm still here.â
âI live high up in the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven. You guys spent so much effort to beat me to death, but what you injured was only a part of me. You guys couldnât hurt my source at all.â
âYou still think Iâm afraid of Celestial Venerable Lingâs unchanging divine art? You think Iâm afraid of a mere sister of Celestial Empress, a mere ancient god in an egg?â
Even though he didnât have a head, Qin Mu felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him. They were looking at the egg of Tai Shi, Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmuâs corporeal body.
His gaze was filled with mockery.
Facing an existence like the Grand Emperor, the pressure was simply too great.
In Qin Muâs hand, the egg of Tai Shi whispered, âCelestial Venerable Mu, based on my experience of being suppressed by Celestial Emperor Tai Chu for so many years, Iâll give you a warning: admit defeat.â
Tai Shi said earnestly, âI really canât beat him. I canât beat him at all. Back then, among the five great mines of the ancestral court, three of the five eggs were dug out by the masters of creation. Tai Yi escaped long ago, and Taiji left behind a fake mine to escape. If we could beat him, would we be dug out by the masters of creation to bask in the sun? Celestial Venerable Mu, you know how to be a coward for a moment. You can take revenge in the future.â
Qin Mu muttered to himself for a moment and said, âGrand Emperor, you and I can indeed fall out. I can destroy your current corporeal body, and Celestial Empressâ sister can also destroy your consciousness. Old Brother Tai Shi can also make it impossible for you to break the divine art I left behind. Of course, I will also die in your hands. However, we still have a second option.â
Tai Shi said softly, âDonât drag me into this. I was only brought here by you...â
The Grand Emperor stopped in his tracks and sneered. âCelestial Venerable Mu, I admit that you have this ability, and I also admit that the fellow in the egg has this ability. However, if your second choice doesnât satisfy me, Iâll sacrifice this body to let you die on the spot!â
Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and said seriously, âI can give you half of the Tai Chu Origin Stone that I got. You only completed half of the task to stop Celestial Venerable Hao, so in fairness, I can only give you half.â
The Grand Emperor snorted.
Qin Mu hurriedly said, âGrand Emperor, do you think itâs worth it to kill me and bury your strongest corporeal body in history?â
The Grand Emperor sneered. âI think itâs worth it. My Ming Fangyuâs corporeal body was destroyed by Founding Emperor Qin Yeâs sword because of you. This time, my corporeal bodyâs head is gone, and so is my arm. Do you think I still canât bear to part with this corporeal body? Using this broken body to exchange for your life and obtain the Tai Chu Origin Stone is worth it!â
Qin Mu laughed loudly. âWith the Tai Chu Origin Stone and without the unrivaled Grand Emperor of the masters of creation, whatâs the use of getting the Origin Stone? How about this, Grand Emperor, I wonât haggle with you. Iâll give you three-quarters of the Tai Chu Origin Stone in the heart of my brows, and Iâll only leave a quarter. Give me Celestial Venerable Haoâs heart in exchange!â
The Grand Emperor muttered to himself.
Qin Mu smiled and said, âI saw you take out Celestial Venerable Haoâs heart with my own eyes. You didnât destroy this treasure, did you? Itâs not very useful to you. Using it to exchange for a quarter of the original stone is still your advantage!â
The Grand Emperor calculated for a moment, and a huge heart flew out from the void, beating continuously. It was a divine heart, the heart of a Celestial Venerable!
Qin Mu opened his third eye and circulated his magic power. A hexagon-shaped crystal slowly flew out from the heart of his brows.
After a moment, Qin Mu raised his hand and grabbed the Origin Stone.
The Grand Emperor said, âYou donât have the magic power to cut open the Origin Stone, give it to me!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Mu ignored him and pulled out his sword. The Tai Chu Origin Stone was sliced open by his sword with a clink!
The Grand Emperorâs heart jumped.
Qin Mu threw three-quarters of the raw stone to the Grand Emperor and kept the other quarter. He swept Celestial Venerable Haoâs heart with his consciousness and said, âFarewell.â
The Grand Emperor laughed loudly and placed the Origin Stone on his neck. His incomparably dense consciousness burst forth and revolved around the Origin Stone. The Origin Stone visualized and instantly burst forth with boundless energy that surpassed the amount of energy that Qin Mu could unleash when controlling the Origin Stone!
The head of the Grand Emperor was actually forming rapidly!
It wouldnât be long before his strongest corporeal body recovered from its injuries and grew a head and arms!
