Chapter 1074: The Bloodstains of History (Fourth Update!)
On this day, Mục Tôn Giả opened the annals of history, and the annals were drenched in blood.
Back then, on the Dũng Giang, Tần Mục had used his peachwood hairpin to summon the ghost ship, causing history to replay and the Heavenly River to reconnect, startling Âm Thiên Tử. Upon witnessing this scene, Âm Thiên Tử uttered a classic line: "Who exactly is raking up old scores from history?"
The reason the history of the Long Hán era was obliterated was because within these old scores of history were filled with blood and conspiracies.
On this day, the Heavenly Emperor fell.
This number one Ancient God in history, an invincible existence, had ended the chaotic era of Creator Gods warring against one another, unifying the universe and all of desolate chaos. Yet he died silently at the hands of demigods and human Tôn Giả.
He originally had a chance to escape. His strength was formidable; even if everyone joined forces, it would be difficult to keep him there.
However, when he broke through the encirclement and attempted to flee, he encountered an overwhelmingly powerful divine consciousness. The consciousness came crashing in, forcing him back.
"Cung Quýnh!"
Sơ Hiểu was dazed and confused, once again blocked by Vân Tôn Giả, Hạo Tôn Giả, and the others, losing his chance to escape!
"Cung Quýnh, heh heh, it's actually you!"
Sơ Hiểu laughed heartily while fending off the crowd, then looked at Tuyệt Vô Trần charging at him, and the feeling in his heart grew ever more absurd.
He never imagined that the ones who would bring about his death would actually be two women he had once loved!
Cung Quýnh did not reveal herself, but coldly watched this scene from the shadows, watching how the man who had betrayed her would die.
Sơ Hiểu was nearly insane, unleashing divine abilities even more powerful than those of the various Đế Tọa realm existences. Although he was a reincarnated body, in one-on-one combat, his battle prowess still far surpassed everyone else's.
He broke through the encirclement once more, shouting loudly: "Địa Mẫu Nguyên Quân, quickly save Us! Whatever conditions you have, We can agree to them all!"
The Nguyên Mộc was lush and verdant, its branches swaying. Around Địa Mẫu Nguyên Quân were gathered many Ancient Gods born from the Nguyên Giới, mostly phoenixes, divine dragons, qilins, and the like.
Those Ancient Gods all looked toward Địa Mẫu. Địa Mẫu Nguyên Quân seemed not to hear or see, coldly watching this scene, a faint smile even appearing on her face as she said to the phoenix Ancient God beside her: "Back then, when I gained sentience from the Nguyên Mộc, it was the Heavenly Emperor who pulled me up. At the time, when I was first born, I hadn't yet put on clothes, how embarrassing."
She then turned as cold as frost, saying coldly: "However, once the Heavenly Court was established, he wanted to seize my Nguyên Giới!"
Sơ Hiểu was in despair, attempting to break through the blockade of the Nguyên Mộc and charge into the sky.
Behind him were the crowd pursuing him.
"Đại Nhật Tinh Quân!"
Sơ Hiểu called out: "Đại Nhật Tinh Quân! Quickly come save Us!"
But his voice could not penetrate the canopy of the Nguyên Mộc.
"Thổ Bá! I know you can see this place, Thổ Bá!"
Sơ Hiểu's expression was panicked as he called out: "We know We were wrong. Please, Đạo Hữu, in consideration of our past friendship..."
The U Đô was completely silent.
Sơ Hiểu fought and retreated with the crowd, fighting his way up to the Heavenly River, attempting to rush toward the Heavenly Court. The waters of the Heavenly River were dyed crimson by his blood.
Whoosh—
Sơ Hiểu dodged attacks left and right, and in his haste caught a glimpse of a qilin-headed, human-bodied youth and a chubby girl standing on the Heavenly River, along with six dragon-headed, human-bodied divine beings.
They were holding up lanterns and looking in his direction.
Sơ Hiểu opened his mouth, and in a daze, he saw within the halo behind the chubby girl's head a tree, beneath which sat a youth.
"Mục Tôn Giả..." He couldn't help but lose focus.
Rumble!
Vân Tôn Giả unleashed the Tử Tiêu Bích Lạc Công, striking him down. Sơ Hiểu tumbled into the Heavenly River, then burst out of the water. Figures flickered all around him, surrounding him in a tight circle.
In the distance, within the halo behind Yên Nhi's head, Tần Mục sat beneath the Long Huyết Bảo Thụ, watching this scene from afar, filled with a myriad of emotions.
The Heavenly River was severed, powerful figures coming and going like lightning, divine abilities of every kind dazzling in their splendor—a breathtaking sight!
By the middle to late Long Hán era, the power of Dao techniques and divine abilities was already quite considerable. The powerful beings who had entered the Dao were essentially all gathered here, fighting together for the future of demigods and post-natal beings!
Tần Mục's blood was boiling. He wanted to stand up and join this battle, but his divine consciousness was scattered and chaotic, and he could only watch as they grew farther and farther away.
Sơ Hiểu fled, breaking through the encirclement, when suddenly another wave of divine consciousness fluctuations forced him back.
Tần Mục immediately detected this divine consciousness and hastily mustered his remaining power: "Yên Nhi, Cung Quýnh Thần Vương is nearby!"
Yên Nhi was overjoyed and quickly looked around. Tần Mục struggled to raise his palm and took out the only Thái Sơ Thần Thạch he had—this divine stone was one he had obtained from the blood-rust zone.
"Long Phi, use this divine stone!"
The Thái Sơ Thần Thạch flew out. Long Kỳ Lân quickly caught the stone and placed it against his brow. Tần Mục's remaining divine consciousness flew over, teaching him how to mobilize and borrow the power of the stone to amplify his thinking.
Long Kỳ Lân had indeed studied Thúc Quân's Tam Viên Thượng Thức and also the Tam Nguyên Thần Bất Diệt Thần Thức, so he quickly got the hang of it, using the Thái Sơ Thần Thạch to explode his divine consciousness outward.
He visualized the Tam Viên Thượng Thức, and above the Heavenly River suddenly appeared the constellations of Tử Vi Viên, Thái Vi Viên, and Thiên Thị Viên.
Just then, a vast and mighty divine consciousness surged forth, transforming into a woman's voice: "Thúc Quân Thần Vương?"
Tần Mục sat beneath the Long Huyết Bảo Thụ, panting heavily. He used his remaining divine consciousness to brush against Cung Quýnh's consciousness, smiling: "Do you still remember the old friend who brought you out of the Ancestral Court?"
That divine consciousness flew like the wind into the halo behind Yên Nhi's head, circulated through his body once, then materialized in his mind as the phantom image of Cung Quýnh Thần Vương, who said: "It was Thái Đế who wounded you. Back then, outside the Tiêu Hán Heavenly Court, the one who blocked Đại Hồng was you, wasn't it? You gravely wounded him. At the time, I arrived a step too late and only found his corpse."
Tần Mục was startled: "Đại Hồng is dead?"
"Whether he died at the hands of Thiên Công or at the hands of Địa Mẫu, even his divine consciousness was ground to nothing. However, though dead, his body remains unyielding. His divine consciousness will descend from the Ultimate Void and be reborn once more. It's just that Đại Hồng's memories are likely gone. The one who struck was extremely formidable."
Cung Quýnh Thần Vương said rapidly: "You have shown me kindness, and I will repay it. But right now, Thái Sơ is not yet dead. Let me help them eliminate Thái Sơ first, then I will come find you!"
Cung Quýnh's divine consciousness departed at lightning speed: "Be careful of Thái Đế. As long as the divine consciousness imprint in the Ultimate Void is not destroyed, he is immortal and indestructible. I sense he is lurking nearby!"
Cold sweat broke out on Tần Mục's forehead.
Back then, when Đại Hồng fought him within the treasure carriage, he had been severely wounded and nearly died, while Đại Hồng had been trapped by the reversed Vô Thượng Thần Thức Lĩnh Vực and fled with injuries.
But Tần Mục's final strike had used the third eye on his brow—an eye possessing terrifying power—which had driven the reversed Vô Thượng Thần Thức Lĩnh Vực into Đại Hồng's body.
Presumably, Đại Hồng knew that this body of his had been exposed, and combined with being struck, he simply abandoned the physical body of Đại Hồng.
"Yên Nhi, let's go to the Heavenly Court first and wait for them!" Tần Mục said.
Yên Nhi, Long Kỳ Lân, and the six heavenly dragons immediately carried their lanterns and made their way up along the Heavenly River, heading straight for the Heavenly Court.
The battle on the Heavenly River grew ever more brutal. As they skirted around that battlefield, Tần Mục looked into the distance and saw that Âm Thiên Tử was not directly attacking but was guarding the outside, presumably preparing to ambush the Heavenly Emperor's soul.
"Back then, the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor instructed Hạo Tôn Giả and Âm Thiên Tử to join hands in assassinating Ngự Tôn Giả. Who would have thought he would meet the same fate today." A smile spread across Tần Mục's face.
The South Heaven Gate grew closer and closer, and Tần Mục's heart grew more anxious. Just then, suddenly rain fell from the sky, drizzling down and staining Yên Nhi and the others red.
The rain fell into the Heavenly River, and the river too was dyed blood-red, like a sky-river bleeding.
Tần Mục's heart stirred slightly: "The Heavenly Emperor... is dead..."
He looked back and saw the figures of Vân Tôn Giả and Hạo Tôn Giả charging toward the Heavenly Court. In the instant Vân Tôn Giả took flight, his appearance changed, transforming into the likeness of Hạo Tôn Giả.
Both Tôn Giả were at the Đế Tọa realm, advancing side by side, flying almost simultaneously over the heads of Tần Mục, Yên Nhi, and the others, charging toward the Ling Tiêu Bảo Điện of the Heavenly Court!
