Chapter 1273 - A Funeral On The Spot
Chapter 1273 – A Funeral On The Spot
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. “Celestial Venerable Mu, don’t forget what you promised me. I have already done what you promised to do. You should return the Tai Chu Origin Stone to me!”
“Return! I’ll let you live!”
“Not returning! I’ll let you have your funeral today!”
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.
“Grand Emperor, our agreement is to stop Celestial Venerable Hao and prevent him from descending into the Great Void! Have you done it?”
Qin Mu raised his head and looked at the headless body of the Grand Emperor. He said loudly, “You didn’t do it! Celestial Venerable Hao is still staying in the Great Void, safe and sound. He’s very happy there! Since you didn’t complete the agreement, how dare you ask for the Tai Chu Origin Stone?”
The Grand Emperor said coldly, “I’ve injured Hao Tian, and his injuries won’t heal for more than a hundred thousand years. He’s a cripple now, and it’s 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.”
Qin Mu sneered. “He was saved by another egg-born ancient god, Tai Su, and he has already recovered nine celestial palaces. You dare to say he’s a cripple? You didn’t fulfill your promise…”
“You can go to your funeral now.”
The Grand Emperor said indifferently, “The 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!”
Qin Mu took out Celestial Venerable Ling’s hairpin with a whoosh and laughed. “Grand Emperor, don’t forget that Celestial Venerable Ling’s unchanging divine art countered your abilities! You want to die with me?”
“Mutual destruction? Hahaha, Celestial Venerable Mu, you think too highly of yourself and Celestial Venerable Ling.”
A voice came from the Grand Emperor’s chest, and he said leisurely, “In your incomparably narrow vision, you probably think that Celestial Venerable Ling’s divine art is able to restrain me. Once you learn Celestial Venerable Ling’s 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. You’re wrong.”
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 Empress’ sister as well as the funeral procession, walking through the endless space.
“You are gravely mistaken.”
“Not only are you wrong, Celestial Venerable Yun and Celestial Venerable Ling are also wrong.”
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. ‘Where 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?’
“Do you think Celestial Venerable Yun killed me? Did Celestial Venerable Ling kill me?”
“It’s a pity that they’re all dead. Only I’m still here.”
“I 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 couldn’t hurt my source at all.”
“You still think I’m afraid of Celestial Venerable Ling’s unchanging divine art? You think I’m afraid of a mere sister of Celestial Empress, a mere ancient god in an egg?”
Even though he didn’t 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 Yuanmu’s corporeal body.
His gaze was filled with mockery.
Facing an existence like the Grand Emperor, the pressure was simply too great.
In Qin Mu’s hand, the egg of Tai Shi whispered, “Celestial Venerable Mu, based on my experience of being suppressed by Celestial Emperor Tai Chu for so many years, I’ll give you a warning: admit defeat.”
Tai Shi said earnestly, “I really can’t beat him. I can’t 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.”
Qin Mu muttered to himself for a moment and said, “Grand Emperor, you and I can indeed fall out. I can destroy your current corporeal body, and Celestial Empress’ 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.”
Tai Shi said softly, “Don’t drag me into this. I was only brought here by you…”
The Grand Emperor stopped in his tracks and sneered. “Celestial 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 doesn’t satisfy me, I’ll sacrifice this body to let you die on the spot!”
Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and said seriously, “I 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.”
The Grand Emperor snorted.
Qin Mu hurriedly said, “Grand Emperor, do you think it’s worth it to kill me and bury your strongest corporeal body in history?”
The Grand Emperor sneered. “I think it’s worth it. My Ming Fangyu’s corporeal body was destroyed by Founding Emperor Qin Ye’s sword because of you. This time, my corporeal body’s head is gone, and so is my arm. Do you think I still can’t 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!”
Qin Mu laughed loudly. “With the Tai Chu Origin Stone and without the unrivaled Grand Emperor of the masters of creation, what’s the use of getting the Origin Stone? How about this, Grand Emperor, I won’t haggle with you. I’ll give you three-quarters of the Tai Chu Origin Stone in the heart of my brows, and I’ll only leave a quarter. Give me Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart in exchange!”
The Grand Emperor muttered to himself.
Qin Mu smiled and said, “I saw you take out Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart with my own eyes. You didn’t destroy this treasure, did you? It’s not very useful to you. Using it to exchange for a quarter of the original stone is still your advantage!”
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, “You don’t have the magic power to cut open the Origin Stone, give it to me!”
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 Emperor’s heart jumped.
Qin Mu threw three-quarters of the raw stone to the Grand Emperor and kept the other quarter. He swept Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart with his consciousness and said, “Farewell.”
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 wouldn’t be long before his strongest corporeal body recovered from its injuries and grew a head and arms!
