Chapter 1256 – The Heart Devil Celestial Venerable Mu

“Celestial Venerable Mu!”

Xi Tianjun, Qi Xiayu, and the rest looked at the figure that walked out from the darkness and couldn’t hide the shock in their hearts.

Even Yan Yunxi, Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher, and the rest were stunned. They had never expected that the devil in Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart was actually Qin Mu!

This was especially so for Saint Woodcutter. As his second disciple, Qin Mu had always been quick-witted and weird. He jumped up and down. He even thought that if Qin Mu knew his place and didn’t create trouble, he might have even higher achievements.

Yet, the strongest existence in the world today, the heart devil, was actually Qin Mu. This truly made him feel inconceivable!

‘From Celestial Venerable Hao’s current state, he should be severely injured. His injuries are so severe that he can’t control his Dao heart at all, which is why his heart devil jumped out uncontrollably. If he’s in a clear state, he can control his heart devil and not let the Great Void Demon Territory create it.’

Saint Woodcutter quickly determined Celestial Venerable Hao’s condition. With a weird expression, he said in a low voice, “The Grand Emperor is indeed powerful to injure Celestial Venerable Hao to this extent. However, it’s not entirely the Grand Emperor’s ability. There should be Founding Emperor and Divine King Lang Wo who took the chance to injure him.”

‘The devil in Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart isn’t the Grand Emperor or Celestial Emperor, it’s Qin Mu…’

His expression became even weirder, and he couldn’t help but shake his head. ‘I definitely can’t let this little fellow know about this. Otherwise, won’t his tail reach the sky? He’ll definitely be so pleased with himself, and he’ll even mock me…’

Just as he thought until here, he suddenly felt something and turned back to look. He saw that there seemed to be space shaking in the canyon.

Saint Woodcutter examined it with his eyes, and there were no more changes in the eighth valley.

“Am I seeing things?”

He turned his head and looked at the dark valley in front of him. He whispered to Guan Cha, Yan Yunxi, and the rest, “If I’m not wrong, Celestial Venerable Hao’s injuries are so severe he’s on the verge of death. Only then will he be unable to control his Dao heart and give birth to Celestial Venerable Heart Devil! We indeed have a chance to kill him!”

Everyone was delighted.

Yan Yunxi examined the heart devil Qin Mu and tilted her head to ask, “Celestial Venerable Mu? What’s the difference between him and Qin Mu?”

‘Celestial Venerable Heart Devils and Qin Mu are definitely different. One is the fear in Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart, and the other is the heart demon Qin Mu.’

Saint Woodcutter explained, “In Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart, Celestial Venerable Mu is his enemy, his heart devil. He fought with this heart devil countless times in his Dao heart, but he never managed to kill it. In other words, after being strengthened by him, Celestial Venerable Mu has almost no weakness. His divine arts, paths, and skills are almost perfect. You can say…”

He hesitated for a moment and said, “It can be said that Celestial Venerable Heart Devil Mu is the most perfect enemy Celestial Venerable Hao has ever imagined, the most perfect opponent!”

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Xiu Zhong muttered, “The holy infant actually has such a high position in Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart?”

“It might be higher than you think.”

Yan Yunxi hesitated for a moment before saying, “I once heard that Celestial Venerable Hao created the Hundred Moves to Kill Celestial Venerable Mu. The Hundred Moves to Kill Mu is a technique and divine art that Celestial Venerable Hao created after hundreds of thousands of years. It’s specially created for Celestial Venerable Mu. It can be seen that Celestial Emperor and the Grand Emperor aren’t the number one enemies in Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart. Heaven Duke and Earth Count aren’t even ranked. Celestial Venerable Mu is his number one enemy!”

Saint Woodcutter gave a cough and reminded everyone, “You can’t tell this matter to your unfilial disciple. He has always been arrogant. If he knows about this, he will definitely be even more arrogant. It will be detrimental to his Dao heart’s cultivation.”

Everyone recalled how Qin Mu always had a look of ‘I’m only number two in the world’ on normal days, and they couldn’t help feeling that they had a common enemy. They nodded in agreement and said, “Saint is right, it’s not good for the body and mind to be too proud. We won’t tell him about this.”

At that moment, Bai Yujing and Qin Mu walked out of the valley. Qin Mu looked excitedly at Celestial Venerable Heart Devil, who had walked out of the dark valley. He couldn’t hide his pride and looked at Bai Yujing, wanting to say something, but he hesitated.

Bai Yujing understood and praised, “Celestial Venerable Mu is the number one in the world. Even Celestial Venerable Hao fears you.”

Qin Mu said humbly, “I only beat him up when he was weak and let him lie on his sickbed for a thousand years. I didn’t expect to leave such a huge shadow on him. This is nothing.”

Bai Yujing was relieved. “He will calm down if he shakes his tail.”

The two of them went forward, and Red Deity Qi Xiayu sent out a person to test Celestial Venerable Heart Devil’s abilities. That god was on the Numinous Sky Realm and had remarkable abilities. He went straight for the Celestial Venerable Heart Devil!

This expert of Southern Heaven cultivated the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire. Flames filled the sky and transformed into a sea of fire that floated in the sky. Ten thousand dragons scuttled in the sea of fire and pounced down together!

Boom—

A huge pit appeared on the ground, and the heart devil Celestial Venerable Mu was torn apart by the dragons and burned to ashes.

That Southern Heaven expert was delighted and turned back to say, “Your abilities aren’t strong, so you can come in without worries!”

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. If the Heart Devil Celestial Venerable Mu that was born in the Great Void was as hard to deal with as Qin Mu, it would be a headache for them.

News of Qin Mu fighting with Son of Heaven Yin’s Reincarnation Bell had long spread throughout the celestial heavens’ main camp. As the upper echelons of the celestial heavens, they naturally knew about it. They even thought of ways to deal with Qin Mu, but they couldn’t come up with a way to kill him.

It was obvious that Celestial Venerable Hao didn’t know what abilities Qin Mu had today. His heart devil Qin Mu wasn’t as abnormal as the real Qin Mu.

That Southern Heaven expert took the lead and walked into the dark valley. He raised his palm gently, and a huge sun rose from his palm. However, this place was extremely strange, and the light couldn’t shine far.

The darkness seemed to be able to swallow light, forcing people to be on guard.

At this moment, the Southern Heaven expert stopped in his tracks. He saw another Heart Devil Celestial Venerable walking out from the darkness and coming into the light of his sun.

‘Celestial Venerable Hao’s heart devil gave birth to another Celestial Venerable Mu?’

That Southern Heaven expert couldn’t help but laugh. “Since that’s the case, I’ll send you on your way!”

He did the same thing and executed his divine art once again. Just as the sea of fire soared into the sky, the figures behind the heart devil Celestial Venerable Mu suddenly moved. In an instant, hundreds of heart devils rushed out!

Hundreds of Heart Devil Celestial Venerable Mu unsheathed their swords, and the sword light broke through the sea of fire and the ten thousand dragons, heading straight for the face of the Southern Heaven expert!

That Southern Heaven expert hurriedly covered his face and roared. A celestial palace appeared behind him, and his primordial spirit stood in front of Numinous Sky Hall!

His divine art burst forth and transformed into heavenly fire crystals that grew in all directions to protect his corporeal body. As long as anyone touched these heavenly fire crystals, the heavenly fire would explode and crush them into pieces!

Swoosh—

The sword lights actually passed through the heavenly fire crystals, but they didn’t explode. It was as if what passed through them was also flames!

“Raising Calamity Sword?” That Southern Heaven expert was astonished.

Hundreds of sword lights stabbed into his body. They didn’t slash at the primordial spirit in his celestial palace, but at his divine treasures!

When the sword light entered his body, it wasn’t something he could defend against. Fear grew in the heart of that Southern Heaven expert, and those sword lights slashed at his Divine Bridge Divine Treasure. Hundreds of sword lights circled around the divine bridge, and it collapsed!

“This is the Facing Calamity Sword!”

In the next moment, the sword light swept through Celestial Being Divine Treasure and destroyed the Six Directions Continent. It swept through the five elements stars, broke the spirit embryo, shattered the seven stars, severed life and death, and completely destroyed all of his divine treasures!
