Chapter 1163 — Not One Good Sort in the Whole Clan

It was an odd house that the Moon Heavenly Venerable and the Creator race had devised between them, and within it lay the Moon Heavenly Venerable's Way of Space and the most sublime consciousness reincarnation of the Creators. She and the Fire Heavenly Venerable had both once been trapped inside that house, and both had barely escaped with their lives. The four Great Celestial Masters of the Heavenly Court and the three Great Emperors had seen nothing of this scene inside the Great Void's Dark Capital, but the Yin Son of Heaven had it in his view, and could not help feeling envy and jealousy together.

"The Divine Son of the Dark Capital, that little brat — his strength has actually grown to such a level. If a body like that could be mine, becoming a new Earth Lord would be only a matter of days.

" In his heart he said silently: "And by then I shall be the Yin Heavenly Venerable, no longer a mere general beneath the Hao Heavenly Venerable. " His heart burned.

Shen Fengqing had grown this fast by devouring without the slightest scruple. To force its way into the Great Void, the Heavenly Court's army had lost countless gods and devils, dead and maimed; and once those gods and devils died, their primal spirits had surely been swallowed down by this brat.

The primal spirits of a million gods and devils were enough to make him, in the space of a short while, a match for the Yin Son of Heaven, or even something stronger.

A body like that — who would not covet it? "The Fire Heavenly Venerable has always hated evil as a personal foe.

In former days, meeting a little wretch like this, he would have struck the first blow without a moment's thought. " The Void Heavenly Venerable glanced sidelong at the Fire Heavenly Venerable beside her and said mildly: "So why are you so steady today, betraying nothing at all?

" The Fire Heavenly Venerable gave a cold snort and said indifferently: "He is only a junior.

Since you have already made your move, how could I also raise a hand? Were word of it to spread, people would say two Heavenly Venerables had to gang up on a little brat.

" The Void Heavenly Venerable lifted her hand and cried in a loud voice: "The army — march! " At that very moment, chaos erupted in the rear of the Heavenly Court's army, and someone shouted: "Enemy attack —" "The Kaihuang remnants and the Creators, attacking from behind!

" The sounds of slaughter rose at the rear. The Void Heavenly Venerable frowned, and at once dispatched the Celestial Master Shang Pingyin to deal with it. Suddenly Shen Fengqing's voice came drifting over, giggling: "Great niece of the Earth Lord's house, Uncle Fengqing forgot to tell you — into my Great Void Dark Capital, the armies of the Creators and the Land of No Sorrow can all get in, and strike at you from my side.

From out there, you can't see a thing, so.

.

" The Void Heavenly Venerable looked into the Great Void Dark Capital and saw Shen Fengqing peeping out from behind the door of the leftmost of the three rooms, furtive and skulking, looking for all the world like a man ready to flee at any instant. "So you still have to take the Great Void Dark Capital first. Hee hee. I told you I left a great many traps in the Great Void Dark Capital, and yet you have no choice but to go in anyway. " That fat baby doll hid behind the door, trembling with excitement, and his low laughter reached the Void Heavenly Venerable's ears: "I'm so clever.

I'm cleverer even than my wicked little brother. This time I get to eat so much.

. .

" The Void Heavenly Venerable abruptly clenched her fist and glanced at the Fire Heavenly Venerable, but he seemed utterly unaware of her; she could not help but give a cold snort and bark: "Yin Son of Heaven, hear my command! " The Yin Son of Heaven's scalp went numb.

Reluctantly, he stepped out of the ranks. "I command you to lead the gods and devils of the Northern Heaven and take the Great Void Dark Capital!

If you fail, bring me your head!

" A thousand times unwilling, the Yin Son of Heaven could only bow his head and accept the order, thinking: "Luckily this Divine Son of the Dark Capital looks strong but is a sheer fool; bringing him down is not impossible.

. . Heaven be thanked that sly fellow, the Mu Heavenly Venerable, split off from inside his body! Otherwise, with those two brothers joined into one, we would all be dead men! " He at once marshaled the gods and devils of the Northern Heaven's Black Emperor Palace and charged into the Great Void Dark Capital.

But no sooner had the mighty host of the Northern Heaven's Black Emperor Palace entered the Great Void Dark Capital than it tripped the divine art Shen Fengqing had buried underground; the bodies of several hundred gods and devils burst into demonic fire, and screaming, they were burned to ashes.

"Hee hee. . .

" Shen Fengqing poked his head out in the distance, hiding behind a great mountain.

The Yin Son of Heaven was furious. He broke Shen Fengqing's divine art and raged: "Form up your ranks!

Do not lose your heads!

Let me first see how many traps he has laid!

" He rose into the air and looked over the Great Void Dark Capital, and his head swam and his eyes blurred, and he shook all over with rage.

The Great Void Dark Capital was strewn with traps from one end to the other, in utter disorder, scattered every which way! "Are you fighting a war, or is a yellow dog pissing to mark out its territory?

" The Yin Son of Heaven laughed in his fury: "Is this how anyone lays traps? Would your own people not stumble into them the moment they let their guard down?

" Then he saw several charred corpses lying in a trap in the distance, and they were, unmistakably, gods and devils of the Creators and the Land of No Sorrow. Plainly, even the Creators of the Far Shore Void and the gods and devils of the Land of No Sorrow could not quite reckon how many traps this little Earth Lord had laid!

The Yin Son of Heaven's head swelled to the size of a bushel. In such a plight there was nothing for it but to advance steadily, entrenching at every step, and break the traps one by one.

To force a strike at Shen Fengqing would bring only grievous losses!

"Those Shens — not one good man among them!

" the Yin Son of Heaven said in a fury.

"A whole family of hooligans, thugs, and bandits! " Outside the Heavenly Court, Shen Mu looked at the split Heavenly Court, his heart stirring faintly, and then he said: "We go to the back of the Heavenly Court!

" Long Qilin hurried in alarm toward the back of the Heavenly Court.

Shen Mu gazed out and drew a sharp breath.

The back of the Heavenly Court had finally revealed itself! There lay a vast and boundless ancient continent, cast wholly of divine gold, its divine mountains towering, and over them all were spread rune-seals drawn in blood!

Even the continent itself was densely covered in rune-seals, far more numerous even than the seals of the Pixiang Hall! These seals dripped with blood, and the blood brimmed with divine might — not the mere divine might of postnatal gods and devils, but seals of the Great Way, laid down by ancient gods who used their own blood to inscribe their own Great Way, and bore the might of the Great Way!

The continent on which the Heavenly Court stood must have come from the Ancestral Court; only the Ancestral Court possessed divine mountains of such magnificence! In former days, the back of the Heavenly Court could not be seen at all; it was as though both faces of the Heavenly Court were fronts. Now the back had surfaced, which meant that among the many seals set upon the Ancestral Court, the immense seal formed by the back of the Heavenly Court had already loosened!

The Heavenly Court had split. Though the Ancestral Court would not be freed from its seals, the consequences might yet be dreadful.

"This is the very moment the Grand Emperor has been waiting for! Is the Ancestral Court finally to be unsealed? The void beast eggs that filled the Ancestral Court's nineteenth void.
