Then he is a fellow seeker of the Dao.

" Celestial Master Xiao smiled slightly: "I have heard that the Grand Emperor, though dead, has not wholly perished, because his divine consciousness has been cultivated to the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, branding itself eternally into the Ultimate Void. Shen Ye, you walk this same road.

Where you surpass the Grand Emperor, however, is this: his divine consciousness was not cultivated by himself, but came from the worship of the Creator race.

His divine consciousness is impure, and can be counted as only half a Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness.

" He praised him: "If you achieve this step, you will be the first being of the Acquired to attain the Dao. I have seen the Creators in the Grand Void, and I have traveled the Blood Rust Belt, and so I know a few secret matters concerning the Grand Emperor.

" Celestial Master Hao's eyes flickered; he said nothing. Kaihuang was lost in yearning: "This Grand Emperor is worth meeting. But before that. . . " He swept his gaze around and laughed: "Let us first destroy this Heavenly Court!

To make the people of the world shatter the god in their hearts is hard, but to shatter the Heavenly Court is not. " In the distance, Shen Mu's expression shifted slightly. He said in a low voice: "Go!

Leave the Heavenly Court at once!

" Within the Jade Capital City, wave upon wave of unspeakably terrible power erupted.

Kaihuang, Celestial Master Hao, Celestial Master Xiao, Divine King Langwan — even Celestial Master Qiang and Celestial Master Yan — struck almost in the same instant! At the same time, the sky became incomparably brilliant, while the ground of the Heavenly Court seemed to sink into black night, into a night of utter blackness.

"Lord of Heaven!

" "Lord of Earth! " Celestial Master Qiang and Celestial Master Yan were shaken to the core; each stayed her hand and swiftly marshalled her own divine artifacts.

Kaihuang laughed aloud, and erupted with all his strength!
